Well, I don't want to ruin what you intended. It's a minor thing for me. But if you think you'd like that better. I just don't want to dictate every little thing.

Nah, man, it's your RP and you call the shots. This character is reaaaally flexible (I've used them before) so I'm fine with taking it in any direction that you wish. I don't want to step on your toes on the toes of the storyline, either.

@Cynder Well, if that's the case... xP

I think it'd be cool to see you discover (or even develop ;P) Mega Evolution. Perhaps it can have different triggers (heightened emotion, etc.) and possible drawbacks (limited time and/or diminished move pool, etc.). I'd like to see you make it your own. ^^

This sounds really amazing actually. I'd be down for this. Mostly because the characters I create tend to have an intensity of emotions because of some horrible background story. Maybe I'll make him traumatized by Pokemon and the trust with his 'Mons is what triggers their Mega Evolution or something.

@Cynder @Phoenix I like the sound of this idea for mega evolution. I say go for it Cynder!

Me too. ^^ :D

Before I forget, do you have any specific CS you want us to use, @Phoenix?

@Cynder
They have a general guideline but I'm pretty sure you can add to it, but probably not take away:
"Name: Aliases, nicknames, former names, preferred names, etc.
Age: > 18
History: Personality should be built within this. If you cannot determine personality from the history, then you have not developed your character enough. If your character does not have their own goal/dream to realize, then you have not developed your character enough. There is no minimum to the length of this section.
Party: Describe, in short, what each Pokemon's general behavior/personality is like. What are their tactics in battle or how does the character utilize the Pokemon in battle? Relations with other party members is also a plus, but not required in this section. Please refer to the Pokemon Mechanics section for further information as to the Movesets."
They've also got this for example if you need some sort of reference.

Ah, thank you, Loony. I'm so tired, I had totally forgotten that it existed on the first page! Well, I'll try to have a character PMed and ready to go either tonight, tomorrow or at the very most, by Friday.

@Cynder No problem mate, 's all good. 'Sides, these things happen and sleep deprivation is a pain to deal with.

I was hoping to have mined PMed today but things have been kind of hectic as my dad's hospitalized and I have to care for the little ones, including Salamander (Whethere he likes to admit it or not, lmao) so it's been hard to sit down and focus. I've mostly just been around the OOCs of RPs I'm in. Things have quieted down a bit now but I'm not sure it'll be ready for today.

I'm not usually this bad, I promise! I tend to get unfocused easily due to my ADD and it's worse when I don't get my daily nap, like today. Sorry to hear about your dad, I hope he's alright. And hopefully Salamander cooperates with you, I know what it's like looking after other people (and animals). Not always the most fun!

I'm usually much worse, I don't consider this bad at all. XD

Sucks to hear about ADD. I get the unfocused thing because of MDD but I imagine it's much worse with ADD. (pair that up with GAD and you're constantly battling between being hyper aware with racing thoughts and an irrational sense of dread to giving exactly zero shits about life while being tired oblivious and self-loathing and it's just .~*.gReAt.*~.)

I'm hoping dad will be alright but he's a pretty tough guy, I'm sure he will be. And Salamander...He has his moments but for the most part he's a good kid, when he's not completely ignoring me and his responsibilities because of minecraft anyways.
And animals? Oh boy. I've got myself the dorkiest Green Cheek to have ever graced this planet and as much as I love him ((and he loves me if the pouncing on me the moment I go by his cage (he's figured out every lock in the universe so we mostly just trust him to behave, which he has after a few mishaps involving the toilet) and snuggling up to my hand and refusing to go away for three hours is any indication)), he can be a handful of trouble too.

I'd take the parrots over kids any day though. Except for Cockatoos. I freakin' love Cockatoos but I don't think I could ever live with one.

I had an umbrella cockatoo and they are the neediest creatures that have ever graced this planet. Mine was pretty much Satan, but she adored me and hated everyone else, so I didn't mind as much. I also had the neediest cat ever, but I don't blame him because he was half-blind. Now I look after the two dogs I live with (I change home settings a lot).

I'm totally a bird person, I want a parrotlet. They're one of my dream pets.

@Cynder

Oh my god, it's funny you mention that because I'm actually getting a parrotlet once I start working again. My dream bird is probably a Greater Vasa or a Caique but it'd be super unfair for the feathered friend because I'll be in university in either a year or two years (hard to know in alternative schools) and they're a lot more needy than parrotlets, plus I wouldn't be able to afford it. That being said I still love parrotlets tons. My true dream bird is a curl crested aracari but as it happens I do not have the money for those guys, nevermind these.

I've taken care of parrotlets but only ever had one who I named Jirachi (I was younger than Salamander at the time, no comments), who was this poor little elderly guy who was a pity buy more than anything. Some guy on Kijiji put him up advertising him as a young and healthy bird when in reality he was kept in a cage far too small for a parrotlet (they need a lot of space for such a small bird) and kept there all its life after a traumatic incident in which it got stuck inbetween the doors to a nesting box that wasn't his and the mother cockatiel chewed most of his foot off. He was so scared of everything, the poor guy; human and bird alike. It took him over half a year to be okay with me and eventually made friends with our Budgie Emi who never got along with other birds (She was far more parrotlet in spirit than Jirachi and I swear she was as smart as a Gray - I know you're not supposed to have favourites but Emi was a very special little girl). So my experience with them isn't typical but I miss the little guy a lot. He was a one person bird as well (only me) but it almost felt things were more special that way.

Finally have time to get my character going aaaaand I'm drawing huge blanks.

I kind of want to recycle a character who keeps getting destroyed by RP failure, but I also kind of want to try something entirely different. (And no, unfortunately I don't have the time to devote to both options). The XY series is on Netflix isn't it? Let's see if I can find some inspiration

And sorry to hear about your dad, @Loony. I hope everything turns out all right

@Prints Avoid I think I know which character you mean and I'd love to see him again if that's who you mean, but it's ultimately up to you, Prints.

Edit: Just saw that edit, and thank you. I'm sure he'll be alright but I won't lie and say I'm not worried.

@Cynder@Loony
Hey, you two, go on Skype or something if you're gunna talk about birds and sh!t... xP
But really, I hope everything goes well :(

@Prints Avoid
Yes! Please! My PM box has been pitiful D:
Heh, but I hope you get the inspiration you need. ^^

@Phoenix Sorry man, old habit. One of the RPs I'm in is a very open one and a lot of unrelated chatter (and memes) goes on in the OOC and it's as much of a community as it is an RP so I tend to do the same now out of habit. Sorry. Don't ever be afraid to remind me to shut up. ^ ^"
But yeah, thanks.

I'm hoping our OOC will be the same way. It's just probably a good idea to keep the Int Check on topic though.

@Prints Avoid Yeah, 's my bad. ^ ^"

I honestly can't lie that I really do wanna see Diego again but I'm also curious as to your idea for a new character. Hell I might even scrap a character to bring back Placide in that case.

Only thing is he wouldn't have an interest in bugs anymore due to a change in story. Or he could, I really don't know. I was going to have him be from Unova just so he could have a Darmanitan. I want to see what kind of headaches I can cause with Zen Mode. But it's not like I can't think of plenty of reasons for him to be from Johto and still have one.

Uh, for the rest of you, Loony's referring to a Pokeathlete character I had. Basically a cocky but friendly jock-type who's all about bringing out the best in his Pokemon, even if he's not the best at battling.
