Pokemon - Species Screwery (OOC)

[UnendingEmpire]

A Pokemon professor (probably Oak, that dumb bastard who forgets his grandkid's name every time) had this idea, to make a machine that would let Pokemon speak human languages, and even gathered one of pretty much every species to test it on. But he fucked up. Big time.
Instead, he wound up turning them into humans (through many layers of scientific bullshittery) so now we've got a few hundred Pokemon-gone-humans running about and...that's all I've figured out as of yet ^_^
I'm thinking we could have Darkrai or Giratina (how did Oak get his hands on those!?) or some other shady legendary act as a sort of "RAWRRRRR I'M GONNA CONQUER THE WORLD!" kind of baddie, but aside from the idea I just presented, I know nothing about this RP as of yet ^_^;
That means it's up to all of us as a whole to shape it up, really. That's a good thing, I think~

Now then, some basic rules...

1: Since there are so many of them, players can take more than one pokemon. Try to not pick ones that are related. For instance, don't use Growlithe AND Arcanine.

2: We're human now, we've got speech and opposable thumbs and all that other fun crap humans get :3

3: No Mr. Mime. He defeats the whole purpose of the RP, since he's already pretty human and...well, he's a mime...actually, go for it, idgaf

4: Until later in the RP, avoid using legendary pokemon. Otherwise, we'd see Palkia and Dialga and Arceus and Magikarp (YES, HE'S A FUCKING LEGENDARY!!!) right at the get-go.

5: We need to build the RP as a whole. Don't even bother putting up a CS (yeah, I love making those) unless you're sure you're willing to stick with this RP!

Now then, being the organized chap I am, I have an itty-bitty CS that should take about thirty seconds - if that - to fill in. Please fill it in, as this is how I'm keeping track of which pokemon are already taken.

Species:

Name: (can be the same as your species, but if your former trainer gave you a nickname, there you have it)

Personality:

Anything else:

Told you it was fast. Mine's coming in pretty soon, and below is the list of Pokemon already taken. I'll update it as more people join~

Now then...

Species: Giratina

Name: Giratina

Personality: Giratina was trouble enough before being transformed. Now that its form has been altered beyond repair, Giratina has become a mass-murdering Pokeperson whose greatest ambition is to take control of the human world as its own way of "protecting" other Pokemon from bowing to the orders of what Giratina believes to be lesser beings. It fancies itself as a sort of Pokemon king (Arceus would so not be pissed) and has been using Professor Oak's machine to transform any Pokemon willing to side with him.

Anything else: Just like in its Pokemon form, Giratina technically has no gender.

NOTE:
The legendaries who don't yet have images were written based on the gender for images I had handy. In the event that the image you pull is the opposite gender (i.e. male Lugia) the information will be modified to fit the new gender.

Giratina is the head of it all, and is, as of three days ago, the ultimate enemy of all human beings. Still having all the power it possessed as a Pokemon, Giratina has been destroying humanity over the days since its unwilling transformation at the hands of Oak's accursed machine, even if that very device is what allows Giratina to craft its army. It rules over the legendary Pokemon who side with it, and puts them in charge of lesser Pokemon who are fed up with being the pets of humans. As the head for the operation, Giratina felt it would be best to hand down commands from a place where it felt comfortable. It chose Spear Pillar.

Alongside being Giratina's right-hand Pokemon who stands by his master's side faithfully at Spear Pillar, Darkrai is exclusively in charge of all the Ghost-type Pokemon who rally under Giratina's flag. Cunning and ruthless, Darkrai gains his tactical advantage from the nightmares of war veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, and knows exactly what buttons to push to turn humans into his slaves rather than viciously murder them. In particular, he's out for Cresselia's blood.

Already a product of genetic experimentation, it didn't take long for Mewtwo's body to have its genetic code written over again. He was placed in charge of Giratina's Psychic-type Pokemon soldiers, and has actual experience commanding armies, short-lived though it may be. Because of both this and his merciless tactics and punishments, he can get any of his soldiers to do anything. March a batallion of Psychic-type Pokemon into a cemetery? Under Mewtwo's command, there is no greater fear than the fear of Mewtwo himself. Mew stopped him last time, and he wants revenge now that he's become vastly stronger from the transformation.

While Latias may not be a big fan of what Giratina is up to as of late, Latios is completely on-board with it. After his transformation, Latios was put in charge of the Flying-type Pokemon that serve Giratina, and always does his best to ensure that he has eyes everywhere. He is Giratina's most valuable information source, so it's important to ensure that Giratina won't lose that valuable information source.

Articuno

(No image yet)
Lugia fought humans before, and now transformed by Giratina's machine, will do so again. She (why Lugia became a she is still a mystery) was put in charge of the Water-type Pokemon serving Giratina, and as one of Giratina's generals, has a particular specialty for fast and devastating raids. The most famous of Lugia's raids was during the second day of the war, in which the whole coastside towns in the Kanto region were so utterly devastated that even the ruins were left in ruins. Once Lugia launches an offense, it's over. The hard part is defending her men before then.

(No image yet)
Moltres was placed in charge of the Fire-type Pokemon under Giratina's flag, and specializes in long-lasting offenses meant to terrorize the opponent more than completely obliterate them, which perfectly contrasts Lugia's own strategies. Rather than kill humans, Moltres scares them into working for her with days-long attacks on their cities and killing one human every time her requests are denied. She currently has the entire Kanto region in her terrifying grip, starting at Viridian City and going north from there until one reaches the borders of the region. In particular, Moltres wants to see Articuno dead in this war, but she doesn't seem to trust Zapdos either.

Given the most command by Giratina, Zekrom was given command of any Pokemon not assigned a general by type. Because of that, he's very capable of dispatching the most men, and has the most options in his tactics. Most of Giratina's military power is under Zekrom's command, and because of it, Zekrom is one of the people most responsible for making sure everything stays in order and he is one of the two generals to actually be at Giratina's side at all times at Spear Pillar, alongside Darkrai. It goes without saying that in this war, he's out for Reshiram's blood more than anything.

[Whispers]

Species: Umbreon.

Name: His former trainer named him Yami.

Personality: Yami could be a bit...weird. He is very quiet, and sometimes talks in one word sentences. He's usually seen walking with his head up at the sky, seemingly pondering his own existence. He's very smart, however, and enjoys a bit of wordplay and intelligent conversations. He could be called arrogant, but mostly because he thinks that a lot of Pokémon are below him.

Anything else: Hmmm....nothing else, I believe.

[Chapatrap]

Spoiler

Species: Slowbro

Name: Joseph (Or sometimes 'Broseph')

Personality: A slow guy. He speaks with slurred speech, is as lazy as lazy and isn't exactly your average 'Let's go on an adventure!' kinda Pokemon...er, Guy! However, his friends seem pretty important and although up for an adventure, he will give up pretty easily. He will willingly follow his friends until it gets too much and he turns around to go home. When he want's to sleep and eat, he WANTS to sleep and eat. He is capable of fighting but will usually just sleep for a few hours.

[UnendingEmpire]

I'll have mine up pretty soon.
I'll add Umbreon and Slowbro to the "taken" list

[Whispers]

Good....gooood.

Also, it would be cool if the main OCs be the only Pokémon not to go wild and run off, and they all start off a bit away from Pallet Town. (I think that's where Oak's lab is at.)

[UllarWarlord]

Species: Golurk

Name: Resolution

Personality: He was accustomed to following orders to the letter as a Pokemon, and still does so as a human. He also fancies himself a 'guardian of justice' and if he has no orders, will wander around and help those in need. He is still following his program, as the concept of humanity and free will has not set in quite yet.

[UnendingEmpire]

Whispers: Oak's lab is in Pallet Town, yes, so ideally the RP would start either there or Viridian City...maybe Pewter City for the speedier Pokemon :\

Warlord: I'll add Golurk to the "taken" list.

Me:

Species: Cubone

Name: Marrik

Personality: Marrik gets lonely really easy, but doesn't enjoy speaking with others. Just being in the company of other people or Pokemon is good enough for her. She's not particularly fond of the concept of Pokemon battles or contests, but if backed into a corner, her real courage shows and she won't back down until one of the two contestants can no longer stand. Short of this, and a peculiar fear of bones other than those seen on a Cubone or Marrowak, she's got the typical defining traits of a Cubone. Cries at the sight of the full moon, her skull helmet rattles when she's crying, et cetera cetera.

Anything else: Caught and named by the person that made her this way.

[VeilOfMaya]

Where do you guys find these pictures. O-o

[Whispers]

I just type in the type of Pokémon I want, and add 'Gijinka' to it. It worked with deviantart.
