Alola! And welcome to the Alola region! You have just arrived not so long ago to Alola which will be your new home! It's not every day somebody moves to Melemele island, you will be the talk of the whole island! But I hope the locals won't pry in too much. I shall tell you about the Alola region. Alola is comprised of four islands, Melemele, Akala, Ula'ula, and lastly Poni island, these islands are filled with all kinds of Pokemon and cultures! I betcha you will love the Alola region as much as everybody else! As you can no doubt tell you live on Melemele island, it's a fair bit smaller than the other islands but yet not lacking in its fair share of mysteries and wonders! I can no doubt tell you will have many friends between both the many Pokemon and the friendly locals! Once you feel rested enough I want to introduce myself to you face to face! And don't be afraid to bring any friends with you if you do, more the merrier I say!

Alola! Welcome to the OOC! This page will have all the information you need to start working on your characters and the rules! if you guys have any questions don't be scared to ask them!

Woo, now we just need to work on if our characters have bonds with other characters!

Yep, that's the final we need to do before we can start the RP!

The new kid is the only one exempt from this rule since they just recently moved to Alola and they'll meet the others when Pike comes to visit them in Professor Ironwood's place to ask them to take a visit to the Professor's lab.

The Rest will have to at least know the other character's names, but I would like something a little more in depth since all of them spent years on Melemele Island together and they are all about the same ages as each other and Melemele is one of the smaller islands in alola so there's not much room to be a loner rather they want to or not.

Keep in mind the relationships between characters don't have to start out as super meaningful or friendly at the start, its up to you guys how deep and meaningful you want to start it out as. But I plan on making the characters very close friends by the end of the RP!

Well, I'll say right now that I'd like the chance to explore Nixon a bit through interactions with other characters-especially in OOC pre-planning like this, since it defines relationships at game start.

...If any guy needs a snarky, tricky, and generally somewhat shady ill-advised crush, feel free to shoot me a PM and we can talk shop. :p

Anyways, I'm going to be working on two other rps for right now, but I am open to try and work on relationships with characters on the morrow. For some reason, I don't see Sam getting along with Nixon, especially after the Water Type Scandal.

Well, I mean like I noted if Morta is friends with anyone else she's probably considered to be "the weird one" really. Um... I know that's not all that helpful really but hmmm.

I think Pike would like Morta as he would find her strange but likable! And he would indulges her hobbies, he would ask questions about the occult and ghost Pokemon since he doesn't have much experience with either even if he doesn't really believe in the former so much, and maybe watch some of her low budget movies in a movie night with the others? And I think Morta's Drifloon and Pike woukd get along messing with people together? But I see a few arguments arising between theses two. Mostly since Pike is a scientific person who believes in facts over faith so they can have arguments over that once they get to know each other?

What do you think, @Rin?

@BornluckyYeah, that sounds cool. XD It'd be really fun to play Pike's rationality against Morta's... Morta-ness, so yeah.

Going off this...since they all enjoy messing with people.

Nixon, Pike and Morta as a troublemaking unit of sorts?

@Ophidian
Looking on it all, I would include Sam in the mix of trouble-making due to what he does, but I feel he would end up being forced to tolerate Nixon... I feel like they were ok friends until Nixon went to far on jokes which escalated into thievery of sorts just to mess around. Would he take to thievery during a practical joke? Regardless, I can see them both getting into a spat over it with both of them coming to fight one another, usually either persons game.

@Bornlucky
For some reason, I can see my character helping out Pike from time to time with some stuff, even though he isn't a lab assistant... and along with that, since he's a lab assistant, I can see Sam trying to drag him off with him on a run when in the correct mood, stating that he should get first hand experience when it comes to researching pokemon... not realizing what the assistant thing entails since he sort of assumes he is cooped up in the lab most of the time. And looking over things, I could see him being one of the pranksters of the group... and if he is working with Nixon, tolerance... speaking of the group.

@Rin
Due to the fact that most of the characters here will probably have some history with each others, I'm wondering how everyones childhood went. If everyone started becoming aware of everyone at specific times during Sam's wanderlust-like nature, I feel he would lead them all on adventures. What this has to do with anything is that is reminds me of how I built another characters relationship up, via those adventures when younger and later participating in certain activities when older. I can see Sam hanging out with them a lot on movie nights and taking a bit of an interest in the occult since it piques his curiosity...

So, how does this all sound so far?

@Ophidian@Savo
Aw man, I don't really have much to add on to this but I love these ideas. XD So um yeah.

Nixon in general doesn't think much of anything when it comes to light thievery. It's just something he does, sometimes. Another way of flaunting that he doesn't play by the rules. He's got alot invested in his persona as an outsider to society, as someone not tied down to it. I'd say your take is accurate-Nixon would go too far for Sam. And they're just forced to tolerate each other by circumstances. At game start at least.

@Matador@Sunbather Are you two still interested in the RP? If not I understand, I just want to know so I can open up some space for others who might be interested in joining.

Oh geez, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you reserved a spot for my insecure interest! :c Yes, please, open it up.

Okay, since I didn't get a response from Matador I just opened up the spot, I also made an announcement on the interest check if anybody else want to take the last two spots, but until somebody else shows interest I will start working on the first IC Post later today and hopefully have it up by the end of the day!

I'm getting hyped that we are starting soon! Hope you guys are too!

If you save me a spot I'll have a character up within 24 hours.

A spot was taken was much faster then I thought it would be! But I reserved you a spot And we're glad to have you! Can't wait to see your character!

Okay, 0th and 1st IC pot are up!
I haven't done an introduction IC post in a loooong time! But I hope it works okay! This is a rather free form rp so you can have your character doing pretty much anything as long as its within or nearby Hau'oli city atm~ I want this RP to be relaxing and fun while also up to the players on what they want to do. especially on this segment of the story~

Hello! I was wondering if I could take that last spot if it wasn't too late? I was thinking about make a silent child character, if that was okay? If not, I could come up with some other ideas! ^^

Okay, I have your spot reserved~
When you say a Silent child do you mean shy and not very talkative? Or are they mute and communicate outside of talking? Either one would be good and I would love to see them!
