Onward unto Dusk



<Schwarzenburg, The Black Castle, repaired after the siege of 566 AC.>


TL;DR Summary:


[*]- Pokèmon characters only!
[*]- Set in an alternate-earth 500 years after the Kalosi Incident, now remembered as the Cataclysm.
[*]- Roleplay starts south of modern-day Mannheim, Germany and will focus on exploring the ruins of the old world.
[*]- Traditional Pokemon "moves" are forbidden. Consider the capabilities of your Pokemon and apply those skills creatively. Feel free to draw insight from established movesets, but remember: it's magic now.
[*]- Magic is a form of mysticism, linked to theology, and is tied to class, rank, and education. It's meant to be limited. Make sure you understand how it's treated before you use it.

Please post your character sheet in the Character Sheet Tab.

In Character Info


Slouched on the eastern inward bank on a lazy sluggish bend of the Rhine, Schwarzenburg - the black castle - once stood as the lonely gatekeeper of the East. It was her stalwart defiance that kept the Moeri war machine from spilling over the Rhine. The day the castle fell, the Kingdom of Sabi was swallowed up by Moere, her ruler slain and his histories burned. The region was given over by King Veske to the burgeoning administration of Duke Sakana, whose command was instrumental in the capture of the region, and whom has in the year since settled well into the administration of this land.

Just a few miles north of the castle lie the ancient ruins of a city called Mannheim. It stood for more than a thousand years before the Cataclysm, and it was another hundred years of struggle before the last light of the city was snuffed out forever. Even the Sabi had never ventured near these ruins; they mark the edge of Civilization - a point beyond which even the mighty hand of Moere cannot quite reach. Beyond Mannheim, to the East and to the North, lies a vast and uncharted wilderness.

Now, as Sabi loyalists have been pushed into that uncharted wilderness beyond, reports are beginning to filter back of strange occurrences at Mannheim and beyond. Ethereal lights and impossible things - whispers of treasures from the old world... will you be the first to learn the truth?


Out of Character Info


Hey folks! This is a Pokemon roleplay set in an alternate-earth environment about 500 years after the events of Pokemon X/Y. In our timeline, the Kalosi weapon was successfully activated - but for reasons lost to time, it misfired, and fell short of its potential. The event marked the beginning of the end for human civilization, and in time pokemon rose to fill the void - coming together and building like the humans had done before them.

Pokemon civilization has borrowed much from human history, and has followed a similar curve of development - today we rest at a decidedly medieval era, replete with petting kings and castles and classical engines of war. Modern-era (and beyond) technology is studied, and recorded, but such information is largely kept away from the uneducated masses.

Currently, the premier power in Europe is the Kingdom of Moere [More-uh]. To the west of the Rhine, clans and kingdoms jostle for position. East of the Rhine, however, lie the untamed wilds and tribal peoples with a reputation for violence. It's said that the further one travels beyond the Rhine, the more savage the world becomes - it is for this reason that, despite its heavy handed politics, Moere is sometimes hailed as the warden of the civilized world: it dominates much of the Rhineland west of the border and is now slowly pushing its borders into the wilderness.

By the way, folks! It's perfectly acceptable, even encouraged, to get with the other players to determine whether or how your characters might have known one another prior to the beginning of this RP.
But not necessary~

I'm open to applications from those who expressed interest in the interest check, as well as @ridlins and @Lugia and others from the Explorers of the Void room in which this roleplay was discussed.

Otherwise, further applicants will be deferred until I get a look at the number of players who are going to actually submit their characters and play versus the number who are simply interested.

I'll try and get a CS in soon. If not tonight, then most likely sometime tomorrow. Two questions, though: Does evolution work as expected, and do we absolutely need an image for a CS or will a description do? I tend to find searching for a proper image to be a huge pain.

Evolution basically occurs when a pokemon is... ready. When they're mature. So basically, it happens similar to the way it would happen in the anime. It just doesn't necessarily have to involve fighting and combat.

You don't have to have a picture, no. I just like pictures, so you'll be seeing a lot of them. :P.

:D I responded.
And yeah. That picture basically inspired the character, and then I built this setting up around him.
I just wanted a world where a typhlosion could stick people with a sword and it wouldn't be weird.

Due to increased interest this RP will likely be run in two groups.
