I wish they would at least have said something so I know to open the slot up again. This is the main problem, or curse I should say, I've had with this RP in particular. Early on people just drop without any word or warning, which is why it's never gotten farther than the second town/city.
I'm hoping to start this soon. If we don't have the required number for Guardians, I have extra chars that I've used in the past that I can use as placeholders until enough players join in.
Personality: Maksim is someone who puts pressure on others, and makes excuses for himself. He always wants to achieve the best he can do, but doesn't think he can do his best. While kind out of necessity, he lacks tact and is afraid to go all out. His dreams, bigger than anyone could imagine, are beyond the horizon. He may be searching, but he's looking in the wrong direction.
History: Maksim's parents was eager to move to Viore and start a new life together. Not too long after, they had their first child, Maksim. However, for unknown reasons, Maksim was forced to move away to his uncle, a miner in Rustboro City. An only child, he found most of his desires met by his hardworking carer. His uncle, who would seldom mention his parents, was a fantastic father figure to the boy. Always buying him heartfelt gifts even when he couldn't afford them, Maksim felt blessed. Over time, he learnt more and more about his father from his uncle, stories dripped through at bedtime. Maksim learnt about his father's journey as a Dragon trainer, and dreamt about his heroism. From a young age Maksim grew to love Dragon Pokemon. Some days he would go outside and see a Bagon, always eager to fly, hurl itself off the face in a childish attempt at flight. He had desperately wanted to catch it, but his uncle never let him up the dangerous mountain surface.
Maksim used to run around the house with a Bagon costume, too. It wasn't just a Bagon; all sorts of Dragon costumes his uncle had bought for him, each year him eagerly anticipating his first Pokemon - a dragon, obviously. He had such an obsession with the Elite Four member Drake, always watching him on television and rooting on him on all the televised Pokemon battle. Maksim developed a rather adorable impression of Drake's mannerisms and voice, even using a bundle of tissues as a pretend mustache, that his uncle adored.
When his time as a Pokemon trainer came around, it wasn't a Dragon as he had always been promised. His uncle got him a disgusting, green gecko-like creature. The Treecko, who was given the rather dull name of 'George' not even by Maksim, would go on to love the boy, although that bond was anything but mutual. As soon as he was old enough, he traveled to Johto to catch a real Dragon for himself, but George struggled to fight any of the more powerful creatures he was up against. The only fruit of his labour was a Larvitar, who although wasn't a Dragon, pleased Maksim enough to become his main Pokemon. The name took a lot of thought, but he eventually decided on Typhos.
With a Pokemon that pleased him for once, Maksim took the controversial decision to travel to Viore, one his Uncle abhorred. Still, he had a burning passion for Typhos in his heart to show off in the bustling ecosystem of Viore, while also adorning a headache for George.
Pokemon:
Pokemon ♂
George
George is not a brave Pokemon, but tries his hardest regardless. Although his trainer lacks faith in him, he's constantly vying for the day where someone can believe in him. He doesn't chew on a twig like other Treeckos, and his tail often drops to the ground when he's frightened, which is often.
Ability: Overgrow Moveset:
Quick Attack Double Team Absorb Pound
Pokemon ♂
Typhos
Typhos is a glutton and prefers to lay back in times of struggle. He's a hard creature to bargain with, but when he sets his sights on something, he almost always attains it. He works on his own mantra, and Maksim's urges for effort are usually ignored, even if Maksim doesn't realise it.
@Cassowarysaur Hmm... I can see a lot of potential for character development and growth throughout the RP, which is always a good thing. The only thing I'd like to know more about is why he was sent away from his parents, just for that extra bit of info. That way something might get worked into the RP later on down the line easier as well.
I'm glad you like my character! I'm not actually too sure about his parents predicament, it was something I was planning to expound upon later during the roleplay. However, I'll PM you so we can discuss this further without anyone else hearing what could be important plot details.
Unfortunately I'm gonna have to pull the plug on this it seems... Out of all the overwhelming interest for the RP, for three weeks all that has emerged are two characters. So, due to lack/loss of interest from most of the other participants, I'm afraid this Reboot is down before it even got off the ground.
Thanks to the two of you who stuck around all this time. Maybe next time...
Well that's pretty sad. But I just got 3 major assignments dumped on me, so I suppose technically it's good timing for me. Still sad to see it go but nevermind. Good luck, everyone. I'll see y'all around (maybe).
