[@SupernovaBlitz] After reviewing your character sheet, here are my concerns, suggestions, and comments: [indent] [b]1st:[/b] I don't know why, but the picture for your character isn't showing up. I can follow the link to Deviant Art and see it that way. So if you could find a way to fix that, that would be cool. If not, it'll be okay. [b]2nd:[/b] I'm only going to allow the Vulpix gift thing in order to help you catch up to [@Cerces22]. Also, whether you realized it or not, your character's father being from a far off city and gifting you a Vulpix firmly lands him as the Professor of Large City #1 (Yet to be named). That area of Primis primarily hosts Gen 1 Pokemon. [b]3rd:[/b] Why does Steven go to the lab, but then wait 5 months to begin his journey? This seems a little awkward, given that we keep track of time in this RP. BUT we can work with it. This will have to place your B-Day in August. So that you can join our time line, five months later, in January. [/indent] With all that in mind, this is what I'd like you to do. For your first IC post, I want you to vaguely detail the events of Steven's birthday in August where he will choose a starter Pokemon from any generation. Then you will cover what Steven was doing for 5 months before he started his Journey in January. That will all be in your first IC post. In your second IC post, I will be starting you on January 2nd. So you just missed Liz and Rin starting off their journeys. From there you can move at your own pace. Also, until you catch up with Liz in the time line, you will have the ability to time skip 24 hours within your IC posts. You can use these time skips to travel and level up all your party Pokemon by 1 level. To get the most out of this, I would suggest you not start time skipping until you catch your sixth Pokemon. Counting your level 5 starter Pokemon from the lab and your Vulpix (which I'll also allow to start at level 5), you will already have 2 Pokemon. So you'll want to catch four more before time skipping.
