Yea, would be kinda disgusting. o.o

But, as long as it only happens sometimes, it'd be fine. A character like that would most likely be treated as 'defective' by humans, though.

I'm still decided between a few different pokemon

Oh, that's okay. Take your time. x3

If I may ask, which ones?

Which ones? And what gender is your character? I can tell you what kind of cliches to avoid...

First I was thinking through some of my favorite pokemon, Honchkrow and Togekiss. I am currently looking at a gijinka thread on a different forum ^u^ I normally make female characters

Okay! I love Togekiss, but choose whichever you feel is right.

I'm just gonna remind everyone, we'll need human characters too. In no way, shape or form should this discourage you from making gijinka OCs, but bear in mind humans are needed too. I'm going to make a human OC, as well.

Well, good thing I didn't go with Togetic, as was my original plan.

Characters from the Togepi line, especially girls, tend to be uber-cute and the helpless type. If you pick Togekiss, try to vary from that stereotype.

As for Honchkrow, it's usually gangster-like and...well, there's not really any other way to interpret that Pokemon. Besides, those characters can be pretty fun. I'd recommend Honchkrow, personally.

I won't be making any more OCs, since I've already passed my usual limit of one, so I can't help you there.

I normally try to stick to one character as well, but thank you both for your feedback

Name: Yulian

Nicknames/Aliases: Yule

Age: 20

Sex: Female

Gender Identification: Female

Species: Human

Opinion on society[such as the enslaving of gijinkas]: Gijinka houser, she has a safe house for homeless gijinkas.

Does your character have an owner[gijinkas only]: N/A

Appearance:Yulian has a dark, mocha complexion. She has ebony hair in a bob cut. Her eyes are almond-shaped and a bright hazel. Her cheekbones are placed smoothly upon her face, and her lips are on the thin side. She often lacks the motivation to wear makeup of any stature is short and busty, with smaller legs that render her a slow runner. She has some extra weight on her hips and thighs. Her hands and fingers are elegant and refined, with usually unpainted fingernails.

Clothing: Her wardrobe is mostly blouses and skirts with thigh high stockings, paired with knee-high boots or converse. She wears black short shorts under most of her skirts. She is one for jewelry and accessories, however. She adorns whatever she pleases, often with multiple rings and necklaces. She enjoys wearing skirts to the extreme. Her favorite colors are pink, lavender, magenta and violets. Converse are her most commonly worn footwear. In the colder seasons she'll wear darker colors, legwarmers and arm-warmers. However, she'll constantly wear skirts and short sleeves.

Personality[Don't skimp out on this one]: Yulian is abrupt and sneaky. She has little qualms about hurting people if its for her goals, but she is very careful about what she does. She only burns the bridges that she's sure won't matter to her anymore, or come back to bite her. She is no stranger to death, but would prefer to avoid it to move herself out of harm's way. She gathers necessary information, but she can get a piece of the action as well. Her sense of guilt isn't the largest out there, but she won't stoop to being that low and killing children/taking children hostage. Or anything of the sort.

That being said, she has a very practical and well-developed mindset. She knows what is out of reach and what isn't. While she isn't that thoughtful, she can have trouble making split-second decisions. She does not do well when backed into a corner. Honestly, she prefers to stay out of and away from public view. Being in the spotlight will do her no good.

Past: Yulian was born to an unorthodox family. They weren't religious, and were rather against it as a whole. Yet, they were very open minded people who allowed Yulian to expand her interests. Yulian grew to be sneaky and conniving after her mother was killed, in which she began to snoop around to catch the killer. Paranoid about herself being next, she began to learn self-defense and became rather adept at it. Although the murderer was never caught, Yulian soon took a shine to collecting informtion. Whether it be from oter people or the internet, she was able to cheat her way into stealing information.

Thus, it became a career. Her father couldn't care less, but was concerned when gijinkas began to get released. Afterwards, Yulian grew up and soon moved out. She definitely agreed that gijinkas shouldn't be enslaved, thus she started up a safe house with several other generous donors.

Move Set[gijinka only]: N/A

Ability[Gijinka only]: N/A

Only having one character is perfectly fine. ^^

Okay I've made my decisions and will start working on sheets!

Good luck!

...you're going to need it...

Name: Avaline

Nicknames/Aliases: Ava

Age: 23

Sex: Female

Gender Identification: Female, however borderline androgynous

Species: Togekiss

Opinion on society[such as the enslaving of gijinkas]: Ava believes in equal rights for all, but understands that Gijinkas can do certain jobs better then normal humans. She is quite content with her current ownership, but knows that other Gijinkas have it much worse then her. She wouldn't be against signing a petition, but taking physical measures is too much of a stretch for her.

Does your character have an owner[gijinkas only]: Yes. Ava is happily owned by an elderly couple as a house keeper and nurse. She has been owned by them since she was released from the government, and helps them in their old age do taking work around the house such as cleaning and cooking. As a happiness pokemon, she also cares for them mentally. Ava has good relations with her owners.

Appearance:

Clothing: As appears in image. Ava loves flowing clothing, rarely wearing pants or shoes unless commanded to. Her clothing always is white as per owners request.

Personality[Don't skimp out on this one]: Ava is a rather calm natured person. She understands and completes tasks given to her to the best of her abilities and respects humans with the utmost care. Ava understands her place in society and does not have the courage nor drive to go against societal norms. Ava is trusted highly by her owners, and for good reason, and appreciates the times she is allowed out of the house without supervision. Ava is extremely submissive and obedient to her masters, and anyone who they approve of. And while sometimes she longs to be treated as an equal in the house, she understands that the old couple would be unable to function without her. And if she was to run away another poor gijinka would take her place. One thing Ava loves is meeting other owned gijinkas when her owners have house parties or take her out to gatherings. Ava is also a huge fan of playing music and singing.

Past: Ava cannot remember much about her past and prefers to keep it that way. She was sold to the program at a young age because of a debt her parents had fallen into. Years later she was bought out of the program by two wealthy elderly people, very influential in the program. Ava worked happily for them for years, glad to be freed from the less then glamorous life of the program. Years after that Ava heard that all gijinkas in the program had been issued to be freed, but some were being captured as slaves. The idea of freedom was a strange and unthought of thing to Ava. Until, once when she overheard her masters conversing about a gijinka who killed his masters and ran away to live in the woods.

Move Set[gijinka only]: Return, Fly, Extreme Speed, Roost.

Ability[Gijinka only]: Serene Grace

I like her a lot! Approved!

Oooh, this is a nice character!

And yet I can't help but shiver when I see the name "Ava"....*shudder*

Ava's a nice name. :3

I'm going to put up one more character...

Name: Faramond

Nicknames/Aliases: Fara

Age: 25

Sex: Male

Gender Identification: Male

Species: Raikou Gijinka

Opinion on society[such as the enslaving of gijinkas]: Against humans

Does your character have an owner[gijinkas only]: No

Appearance:Faramond has a handsome look to him. He has sharpened, red eyes that are almost always narrowed, and white hair with multiple layers that eventually turns purple. He wears his hair long, about right above his waist, and it curls up at the ends. There's a grey hairband close to the front of it, with three, yellow stars on it. His nose is somewhat curved, and his face is angular, with a defined jawline. His most frequently worn-expressions are critical, and judgmental. His ears are somewhat elvin, as they have a slight point about them.

His body is lean and strong. He's actually tall, being about 6'5" [195.58 centimeters]. There are scars on his skin, mostly on his arms, and his complexion is somewhat pale, somewhat tanned. His legs are lean and long. His hands are angular and large. He does have somewhat 'retractable' claws that can grow from his hands, in case he wishes to slice an enemy to pieces instead of frying them to a crisp. He does have a Raikou's tail.

Clothing: His wardrobe differentiates. His constant trademark is a flowing jacket, yellow with black stripes on the arms, that has a purple section halfway-down. It does not have a hood; and it might be difficult concealing his mane of hair anyways. Most commonly, he'll wear men's boots going just above his ankles. His hairband, mentioned previously, is also a common accessory. His pants are constantly black, some with purple markings. For tops, he can often wear a Tang suit top, or simply just a baggy T-shirt, depending on how he's feeling.

Personality: Faramond goes to unorthodox and somewhat cruel means to achieve his goals. The possibilities to what he'll do to bring his enemies down are just about endless. He'll take cheap shots and walk away as though nothing ever happened. To those who he doesn't like, he's very unfriendly to. He goes out of his way to spite, and to overall end them. His recklessness can get him into heaps of trouble, and he has a habit of biting off more than he can chew. However, he does take care in not involving anyone he travels with into dangerous situations, unless they desire to and know the dangers. He's also rather gruff.

Due to his past, he doesn't trust humans at all. Whenever dealing with one, he's suspicious. Yet, some of his more positive traits are his loyalty and his endearing attitude towards those who he places his trust in. He acts as an older brother and a leader figure. Protecting the innocent is what he does and strives for, even with his unconventional means of doing it. He's well-rounded and mature, with an adept understanding about the world around him. There's a significant amount of pride in doing what he does, and he hopes to protect all gijinka from the menace to their population.

He's also decently intelligent, and clever. There are no lengths he won't go to gain knowledge.

Past: Faramond cannot remember much of his past, mostly his early childhood is blurred and opaque beyond certain repair. The fact that resonates the most within him is that his parents were poor and desperate, therefore shoved him into the waiting clutches of the scientists working on the gijinka project. Afterwards, some events remain in clear detail, as in, some of the more... unsightly and painful experiments. This set his conflict between himself and humankind up. In his mind afterwards, humanity gave him up. This fueled his rage at being confined. His hatred bubbled, as did his bitterness.

The only socialization he got was with fellow experiments, who he did his best to protect. The familiar feelings of hopelessness and helplessness were not foreign to him anymore. But that fateful day came... when they were released. Faramond did play his part in unleashing his strength onto the scientists, and killed several before leaving with a new target on his back. He traveled with some of the other gijinkas he actually held close to him, and now works on forming a group of gijinkas, not necessarily to initiate conflict, but to protect each other from falling into the clutches of gijinka hunters.

Move Set[gijinka only]: Rain Dance, Thunder, Calm Mind, Extrasensory

Ability[Gijinka only]: Pressure

I was expecting super-yellow hair. You surprise me.

Should you put in the first post that we need more humans?

Edited the post. ^^
