High on the craggy mountain tops, Absol waited.

It focused its eyes on the clusters of houses below, and the soft comforting glow that came from the streetlamps and buildings. Soon, there would be nothing left of this city, and the regions would be forced to their knees. Calamities were going to happen, everywhere and all at once. It wasn't going to be one earthquake or one big fire—it was going to be worse than that, and the five regions would all suffer the same fate. People and Pokemon alike would die, Absol felt it.





So hey there, I'm Fox! It's been ages since I've GMed and even longer since I've poked my head around here. I'm hoping to start up a small, character-centric Pokemon RP with a dark and more mature twist to it. Here are some of the things I'm looking for.

• Two to three people who don't mind a darker take on Pokemon. In this RP, both humans and Pokemon could die. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not going to kill off your OC or anything :P, but some NPCs and their pokemon might wind up dead.​

• People who are willing to help me out with the plot. I don't like it when my teammates rely on me for all the ideas. This is going to be a TEAM effort.​ And since we're going to be a teeny tiny group I'm hoping we can all brainstorm and move this RP along together.

• People who are willing to play NPCs and villains with me. We can't have a world composed of only four people xD so yeah~​

• Someone who can post at least three paragraphs.

• Andddd lastly and most importantly, people who will communicate. This is crucial to RP survival.

Are you still here? You are :o? Awesome!

• The Rockets are back and badder than ever. After years and years of hard work they captured Mew and started up Project C13.

Mew's powers were harnessed and legendary pokemon were targeted. It was a secret operation that spanned several years but when it reached its conclusion, the results were devastating. Legendary Pokemon from all over the globe began to lash out, starting calamities in the process. (Ex. Kyogre and Groudon have been causing earthquakes and tidal waves, Ho-Oh has been burning down cities, Lugia freezing entire villages and etc.)

• Our characters aren't going to be big bad rockets or high ranking soldiers, we're going to be playing everyday trainers. Somewhere down the road, our characters will learn about Mew and The Rockets and will then get dragged into a series of events and missions that are far larger than they could have ever imagined.

Just throwing this here to test the waters, anyone interested :)?

As for where we're going to start, we could start shortly before the calamities hit, shortly after they hit, or a few weeks or months after. I'd love to hear your opinions on this.

And lastly, I was thinking our characters would eventually end up as volunteers for the Ruby Cross, (Something like the Red Cross) but I'm not sure I want the OCs to be become rescuers of sorts, sooo we'll see xD, but should they end up volunteering for the Ruby Cross, they'll be trying to save people and crack the case at the same time.

Interest.

Wonderful xD now we play the waiting game~

*waves a bowl of cookies*

I'm starting a marathon of gen 1-5 games and then I saw this and I was like, this must be fate.

I'm throwing my interest in here, and as this would be my first time participating in the Advanced side of the guild, I hope my writing can be up to par.

That sounds like a wonderful way to celebrate the anniversary xD! I think the last game I played was Black or something, I need to play the others sometime or maybe give Soul Silver or Platinum another spin. And no worries, I'm not looking for novel-length posts, as long as you can provide three paragraphs, you're in the clear :)!

@Fox of Spades I'll throw my interest in. Never participated in a Pokémon RP but this stems fun. ^^

I'm glad you think so :D and I'm hoping it will be~

I'll most likely leave this int check up till Sunday then early next week I can whip up an OOC and those interested can toss their sheets at me. I'll be looking for a maximum group of four people.

@Fox of Spades Fine with me, I look forward to it.

You've got my interest as well.

Interest.

I have got some interest, been bored lately and need an extra RP to tide my study halls over xD.

Thanks for the interest guys ^^

Any opinions re: how and when we start?

I'd be interested to joining. Would be good to give my writing muscles a stretch with something I'm pretty familiar with.

Thanks for the interest everyone ^^! I wasn't expecting so many people so soon xD.

Haha, okay soooo I'm going to tag you guys now.

@DJAtomika@Leoven@Arista@13 Critics@LowKey123@Jpp188@SleepingSilence

Soooo here's what we're going to do. I'm going to give you guys the character sheet and a few days to work on your OCs ^^! I've yet to finish mine as well, wasn't expecting a ton of people to show up all at once (but hey xD this makes me a happy fox). When everyone has finished their sheets, I'll review them, pick 2-4 people then set up the OOC so the actual brainstorming and relationship building can begin there.



Appearance: (Anime photo please)
Name:
Age: (15+ please, I don't want any 10-year-old Pokemon masters here xD)
Personality:
Biography: (Doesn't have to be as long as the great wall of China. Just give me the basics and we're good. Seriously though, someone gave me a bio that was ten pages long once <.<)
Pokemon Team: (Please include a bit of info about each Pokemon)
Inventory: (Don't want anyone to suddenly pull out a sub-machine gun or 100 healing potions)
Extra:

Anyways, have fun guys :)! I'll get my CS up ASAP but it might take a few days at most since my parents are visiting at the moment. Also, if anyone else wants to hop in and toss up a character sheet, go ahead! This'll remain open for a few days at the very least and a week at most.

@Fox of Spades hii! I'm interested and hope it's okay if I work on a character sheet too! :)

Also I'd like to give my two cents as well as ask a question or two.

I think the title of the RP should be "Pokepocalypse." XDD

As for the "how and when we start" we could start after the calamities and our characters could be hold up in a sort of refugee village that's not been destroyed yet. Due to varying circumstances, they ended up in the same village as the Professor(s) who end up telling them what's happening and go from there. Kind of a vague idea I know, but I thought it up in like 5 seconds so that's why lol

And that kind of ties in with my question: What region would be best to start in? Not that any one may be better than the other, I'm just curious if it would be best to have them all start in different regions and converge at one point and meet for the first time, or have the characters be from the same region. If done well, I think them starting in different Regions would be totally awesome. ^^

@OneWayOut

Of course ^^ go ahead!

And Pokepocalypse, huh? Is this a reference to that one video with Ash and company all grown up? I remember running into something like that on Youtube, it had Pokemon fighting in like cages somewhere haha and I think the Rockets were in it too. Anyway, that sounds like it could work and I'm always open to ideas :). When the OOC is up I'll see if we can combine everyone's ideas and start from there~

As for the regions, I'm thinking the RP itself will take place in either Kanto, Johto, or Hoenn. (I'm kind of leaning towards Kanto because of the whole Mew and Team Rocket thing xD but characters can definitely come from different regions. However, by the time the RP starts, I'll have them all nearby for the sake of convenience.) I hope this helps answer your questions ^^! If you have any more, just ask away~

Edit: I'm also really tempted to start us up in Hoenn cause Kyogre and Groudon = Massive quakes and Tsunamis 8D.

@Fox of Spades What generations of Pokemon does this cover?

@DJAtomika

I don't want to limit you guys, but I might go with 1-5 since I don't know anything about X and Y or the mega evolutions.

@Fox of Spades Oh that's cool
Cause I'm most familiar with 1-3 XD
4, 5, X&Y kinda evaded me

@DJAtomika

Awesome xD I'm most familiar with 1-4, I've played a bit of Black, but yeahhhh, my knowledge of everything after that is non-existent.
