@Dynamo Frokane Levels wont particularly matter for this RP, I'm basing it more off the Anime Mechanics than Game Mechanics. And you can start as a fresh trainer with a single starter, or you can be a somewhat veteran trainer with some experience.
@Hillan No, it is not a requirement to be a Legendary Guardian. And I chose the ones I did because most of them didn't exactly have a direct relationship with other Legendary/Mythical Pokemon. And being a Guardian with the Major Legendaries (Giritina, Kyurem, Xerneus, etc...) Could turn Godmodded very quickly.
Speaking of Guardians, one last thing. You aren't going to start off with a Guardian immediately. In fact, you won't even know you are a guardian until you meet the Pokemon you're bonded with. Those events will, for the most part, be initiated by me. I've got quite a few ideas in mind.
Aiden stands at 5'11, weighing a little over 140 lbs. He's athletically built with a pale complexion. Black hair with a white streak in his bangs. He usually wears Tank-Tops and jeans with suitable footwear, provided the weather allows it. If the weather is harsh he'll sport a fitting jacket, gloves and scarf. His eyes are blue and he walks with a swagger in his step - carries his Pokéballs on his belt.
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Personality: Intelligent, passionate and energetic. Aiden is one who'll get into a Battle and will try his best to win against any opponent, using strategies and tactics not always orthodox to do so. He likes making friends, but isn't quick to trust others. He loves his Pokemon above all and always uses his best judgement when it comes to raising them.
Hometown/Region: Blackthorn City - Johto
History: Growing up as a kid, Aiden lived in Johto, the city of the Dragon Trainers. He loved Pokemon, but he was never one who would have the aptitude to become one of them. In fact, it was questionable if he would even be able to be a trainer at all. He studied them for quite some time, playing with his uncle's pokemon - His uncle a Pokemon Breeder and therefor had a lot of Pokemon. Aiden was 10 years old when he was given a pokeball by Niko - his uncle. They were on Niko's ranch in Knato and Aiden was set loose to capture himself his very first starter Pokemon.
He threw his pokeball at a Nidorina, a Nidorina whom crushed the ball with it's jaw and chased Aiden off, Aiden ran for his life - till the Nidorina ran ahead of him. Aiden looked back, seeing a stampede of Tauros coming their way. But when looking back he saw an egg where the Nidorina had been - an egg that would have gotten crushed. Aiden dashed for the egg and got it just out of the way before the Tauros trampled all over the nest. Aiden cared about the egg and when it hatched a blue Nidoran came to the world - a rarity to be sure. People often mistaking the Poison type for it's female counterpart. Aiden named the Pokemon Rex and the two became good friends, playing around and exploring the neighbouring caves.
They got into the Ice Cave next to Blackthorn and battled against wild Pokemon to test their strength, even going so far as to see a bright light deep in the cave. The icy wings of a gigantic bird swept over it as the bird flew out of the cave. A sense of wonder washed over the young trainer and his Pokemon.
Rex and Aiden started traveling, finding adventures and trouble wherever they went. They found the very mean Sneasel in the Icy Cave, the sneasel kicking Rex's ass till Rex evolved to overcome the foe, the Ice Type would get knocked out and Aiden would catch it, naming it Zod.
In goldenrod he caught an Eevee and over the years he would travel all of Johto, all of Kanto and most of Hoenn, setting his sights on a brand new adventure, the Viore region.

Personality: Devon is an outgoing teen who is very social between small groups, but cannot handle being the centre of attention in a large crowd. He’s quick to make friends, mostly leaning towards those with the same light hearted attitude as him. Though he can adapt to others of a different mindset with little time. Devon is patient, but does have his limits for things like long journeys with no excitement or stubborn people or Pokémon. His temper may seem almost non-existent, but do not be fooled. He is relatively good at hiding anger thanks to him seeing his fathers stern expression not change for sixteen years. That has been helpful in many situations such as dealing with childhood bullies. He may seem distant at first, but he does feel a sense of purpose to help others. Going out of his way to do so. He is competitive, taking offence to challenges and accepting them with little thought in the moment that sometimes lead him to misfortune. Due to being around others for most of his life, Devon is also bothered by being alone for long periods of time.
Hometown/Region: Hearthome City, Sinnoh/Goldenrod City, Johto
History: As a child, Devon's life was...Adventurous? If you count getting beat up by many wild Pokémon due to misunderstandings as having adventures. Young Devon was always interested in Pokémon, and thought the best way to interact with them would be to befriend wilds near his home towns. His naive way of making friends via butting into the personal space of wild Pokémon angered most he came across. Thus leading to many painful injuries, and frequent hospital visits. These unfortunate events did not daunt Devon however. He continued to attempt making friends with Pokémon and eventually succeeded. Making friends with a female Starly outside of Hearthome that he named: 'Flappers'. Thought childhood the boy played with the bird for years until they grew apart due to conflicting goals. Devon became interested in becoming a Trainer, and Flappers wanted a family of her own in the wild. The two parted ways when Devon was nine years old and have yet to encounter each other again.
When Devon turned ten years old, he received a Mareep from his mother as a birthday present. Little Devon was overjoyed to finally have a Pokémon to call his own, and named the small sheep Shock in honor of it's Electric-typing. However, Shock was quite the handful at first. All of his discipline training gone as he soon realized that his mother and breeder weren't there to scold him for his bad behaviour. The Pokémon ran rampant around his Trainer, destroying furniture, making messes, and generally being a pain in the butt. Devon wasn't one to yield for a challenge, and disciplined Shock by himself for two solid years. When the boy turned thirteen and Shock turned three, the two were inseparable friends. Shock's final evolution into an Ampharos after a year of being a Flaaffy also sparked a new goal for the Pokémon. He decided he wanted to challenge Gym leaders with Devon agreeing right on the spot. The duo challenged the Pastoria Gym and after a tough battle with Crasher Wake, they claimed the Fen Badge. With new found confidence, Devon was determined to continue battling Gym's in both Johto and Sinnoh as a hobby.
Year's have passed since those days and the boy has grown. Obtained many new friends and allies. Devon is now a happy sixteen year old Trainer, still travelling Sinnoh and Johto in pursuit of adventure with his beloved Pokémon team mates.

Has anyone claimed the Manaphy guardian role? (Site's being troublesome and I can't check the previous page properly) Anyway, if no one has taken Manaphy yet, I'd like to stake my claim. Writing up a character sheet. (And will post once the site stops being a butt)
@Leoven You're actually the first one to ever want Manaphy throughout every iteration of the RP. I find that somewhat surprising and very saddening as Manaphy can be a great character. So yeah, as I said before, First Come First Serve for Legendary Guardians.
Personality: Kind, Gentle and Mature. Also very pragmatic and headstrong when needed to be.
Hometown/Region: Saffron City, Kanto (Born In Shinnoh)
History: Born in Eterna City to two gardeners that worked in the Eterna City Gym. Milli was surrounded by Pokemon at a very early age, often being with her parents watching the gym trainers battle as she got older. By the time she was 11, Eterna's new gym leader Gardenia offered Milli a place at the gym to become a Gym trainer. Milli was very excited at this idea and for the next 6 months or so became a grass pokemon trainer which she enjoyed but felt somewhat isolated, as for many gym trainers every day was pretty much a grind to get stronger, which Milli was not mainly focused on. She wanted to travel the world.
After losing a battle to a strong ace trainer who used a powerful Tropius (with the flying type advantage) against her gym appointed grass team she decided to quit the gym, as she didn't feel she was getting any better as trainer. But before leaving the Ace trainer was inspired by her resolve and offered her a pokemon egg which was the offspring of the Tropius that just defeated her. She was again inspired and excited and after returning the gym appointed team she spent all of her time raising her new egg and looking at town and world maps, dreaming about seeing other cities and other regions as she spend her entire life at Eterna.
Her wish for adventure was granted after her Tropius hatched and she was able to fly to other shinnoh regions, using her gym experince to train and battle pokemon well and even catch a Ponyta, and fish for a Shellder! But the shinnoh reigon was simply one part of her plan, she boarded the SS Anne to Kanto and even managed to win a few gym badges across the two reigons, before settling in Saffron City which she now calls home, now at 16 she finds herself wanting to travel again. Finding the greatest joy in going somewhere shes never been.
Finished my thing. @Shiny Keldeo tell me if there's anything that must be changed/tweaked.
Amber Kree
N A M E:
Amber Devon Kree
A P P E A R A N C E:
Standing at five foot seven and constantly clad in her uniform, Amber maintains a commanding presence wherever she goes. Her long blonde hair is almost always topped with a dark cap bearing the Unova police department's emblem. Light blue eyes regard strangers and odd places with a suspicious but, nevertheless, curious glint. Her training under the Unova police department has given her a rather formidable athletic build and she's able to handle most tasks that require speed and strength. Her standard issue belt contains her Pokeballs and a flashlight, which she keeps powered with a number of batteries she carries around.
G E N D E R:
Female (she/her)
A G E:
19
P E R S O N A L I T Y:
Amber is a no nonsense kind of person. She's focused, determined, and serious, especially when it comes to doing her job. There's not much one would get from her in terms of conversation aside from a few uninterested grunts or swiftly thrown out questions, and this becomes a hindrance for her when attempting to form relationships with other people. She knows this is a flaw she must address if she wishes to be fully efficient in her work, but years of either living alone or focusing her time on training has made her social interactions rather scarce.
Despite her awkwardness with speaking to others, Amber remains fiercely loyal to the few people she's formed a connection with. Her naturally curious disposition and suspicious nature makes sure that she and the people around her are safe while she constantly discovers new things. She's also not scared to try new things, especially not when it works to help her cause in the end. Her devotion to her work, and keeping the peace and order in the world is unmatched.
H O M E T O W N:
Castelia City, Unova
H I S T O R Y:
Despite the lavish lives some of its citizens lived, Castelia City can be a harsh place especially for a young street rat living off of the scraps thrown in alleyway dumpsters. During the first few years of her life, Amber was nothing more than a starving kid running around sewer tunnels and befriending the wild Pokemon that call them home in hopes that they can scrounge up a few scraps for her. When the worse came, Amber began to resort to petty thievery, using what knowledge she has of the city to con tourists out of their cash.
This continued for almost a year until the city's police department received complaint after complaint and they knew they had to do something about it. They tasked Police Officer Matthias Kree to track down the filthy scum that's ruining their beloved city and so he did. It didn't take long for him to find Amber, desperate as she was, who fell for his trap almost immediately. Rather than punishing her for what she did, Matthias saw something in her and gave her a chance. He took her under his wing and trained her to follow in his footsteps.
For years, Amber wished for nothing more than to prove to Matthias that he was right about her and that she could be better than how she was before. She trained with fierce determination, spending countless hours doing laps around the city, and studied page after page about the laws put to keep the people safe. When she reached the age of fifteen and was seen as one of the department's finest recruits, Matthias gave her the egg his trusty Serperior had. Thus began the friendship between Amber and her crime-fighting partner, Aster the Snivy.
For the years following, Amber continued to work for the police force, taking on different jobs around Unova in hopes of trying to vanquish any and all crime doers in the region. When news hit the international police force that a new team of criminals were threatening the Viore Region, the Unova police department knew they had to send the best they had for the job. The task fell upon Amber's shoulders and she prepared for the trip ahead.
@Dynamo Frokane If you're going for Latios/Latias, I'd make two characters, twins mayhaps, or find someone you'd trust to play the other Lati. I'd also prefer Latias for a femme character, considering the Gender (And a bit of personal bias o.o;).
@Leoven I like how it looks at the darker, normally unseen part of Pokemon. Also, I kinda already have a certain organization sending some people to help the local police force in Viore. I feel like the cop would work in the home region, but having the International Police (Who probably already have extremely well trained officers and agents like Looker, as well as connections to agencies like the PRO) just seems highly unlikely. And lastly, I'm wanting this to really focus on the characters and how they develop over the RP. Your character probably wouldn't even be going after contests, let alone gym battles. This RP is about the journey. I just get kinda nit picky at these kind of things.
I'll probably make a fresh trainer for my secondary. I meant to specify somewhere in Aiden's sheet that he's specialized in fighting Dragon Trainers. (Which is ironic, because I didn't give him any fairy types.)
