The world of Pokemon, a world filled generally with good people and powerful creatures that are more often than not very friendly and good-natured. In this world, people come together with Pokemon on a daily basis to strive for a better tomorrow. Throughout the history of this world, there have been groups of people calling themselves 'teams' who were collections of the worst kinds of people. Sometimes rhese teams consisted of nothing more or less than common criminals. But others, blinded by their own twisted vision of a berighter future, sought to do the world harm and would let nothing stand in their way to make their dream a reality. But, every team that arose wassuddenly and utterly defeated by champions.

These champions were heroes, and alongside their Pokemon they put a stop to the teams and their plans. Sometimes these heroes simply thwarted criminal organizations such as Team Rocket, and were forgotten in history. Others became legends by stopping groups such as Team Magma and Team Aqua from destroying the world as we know it in their quests for a world ideal for themselves.

One thing is certain, no matter the danger and no matter the cost, Pokemon trainers and their companions will always arise to protect their world, their family and friends, and even the very world they call their own. But this time, heroes may not be enough.

A group calling themselves The End Cult arose from the darkness, claiming the world had one month before its end would come. They had discivered a tower known as the End Spire, hidden by constant cloud cover, terrible storms and deadly mountains. This spire was thought to have been destroyed many years ago, but it has only been hidden, lying in wait for those who would activate it.

The End Spire boasts the ability to drain power from a distant planet that comes into range once every thousand years, qnd now that time has come. The tower will harness the power it claims feom the other world, and release it in a cataclysmic blast that will tear the world apart, rendering it completely lifeless. The blast would then continue in a blast wave into the stars, obliterating any life it found.

The entire world has begun to gather the finest warriors. Military soldiers, civilian police, medical staff from hospitals and clinics all over the world. The Pokemon League has also sent out a call for all able bodied trainers, as the world rests on the shoulders of all who would dare to try, dare to hope there is a way to stop the spire.

The Elite Four and their champion traveled from every region, bringing with them all the trainers they could. The world is hoping for a savior. They hope that heroes will arise as they always have in times of need, and protect the world from destruction.

When it's no longer as simple as Pokemon battles... When League rules mean nothing and Trainers and their Pokemon fight for their lives every day to stop the coming appcalypse, who could possibly find the strength to be heroes? Who could rise against the darkness, and in the name of their world and all human and Pokemon kind, defend all life in this world and beyond? Who could rise, and become Pokemon Legends?

OOC:

This RP is a darker form of Pokemon than most people are probably used to. Pokemon do not fight one another in one on one battles until one can't fight any longer. Pokemon fight to the death, and the trainers are in the same danger on both sides.

Pokemon Leafue rules are obsolete in the battlefield. A trainer is not limited to just one Pokemon active in battle, and Pokemon are not required to wait their turn before attacking. This is life or death, and the cultisrs won't be fighting fair.

Using the infamous dark balls, the Pokemon under the control of the cultists have had their power increased to maximum potential, and they have becomenas evil as their masters. They are lost in darkness, and must be put down.

Rules:

I will be controlling NPCs unless someone says otherwise. For example, if you want a family member to make a temporary appearance then you are free to decide who will RP them. Any character who has a personal connection to yours unless soecifically controlled by another person, is hnder your control and can be controlled by anyone you give permission to.

NPCs with no personal connection to your character are mine to control. The only exception is NPCs you make up like say for example, a random soldier that your character approaches and talks to. You can control the soldier as you wish. If you want to leave the NPC open for anyone to control, just say so in the OOC, or do the same if you want someone specific to control them.

Your character can have 6 Pokemon on them at a time, and may have 3 actively in battle at once. This in't a game or a competition, but I do want to keep people from going god mode with an army of Pokemon. Imagine 6x Steelix charging in under the command of one player, or 6x Charizard. It would hardly be fair, and I don't think would be much fun if everyone were doing it.

Legendary Pokemon cannot be player controlled. Legendary Pokemon are free of masters/trainers, and will always be NPCs. You cannot have a Celebi. I know you had your heart set on it, but it's not going to happen.

Our characters and their Pokemon are safe from death unless the player decides they want their character or Pokemon to die.

Requirements:

I have only one main requirement. Have angood understanding of the Pokemon universe and the Pokemon which you control. I expect everyone to know the abilities of their Pokemon and not to be using abilities they can't normally use. This is still Pokemon, we're not going to have trainers telling their Pokemon to punch and kick one another.

If I had to have any more requirements, it would be simply don't godmod, take some hits and don't go on an insta kill rampage. As well, leave out gore and excessive vulgarity. We have added death to the Pokemon universe, no need to add all the other adult themes. I'm perfectly fine with character relationships, just keep anything that needs to be private, private.

Pokemon Team: (You can have up to 6. If you so desire, you can have five, or four, or three, or two, or one if you do so desire. Any and all Pokemon are okay to have except Legendaries. Even if the Pokemon isn't from your characters region of origin, that's okay.)

All characters will be veteran trainers.

Well this looks interesting... Didn't look at the interest check, but hopefully you have room for another?

Name: Desmond Ludwik

Age: 26

Region of Origin: Orre

Character Description: Standing at 5'11", Desmond is a rather thin individual with pale skin, medium length white hair, and yellow eyes that have rather dark circles under them. The expression on his face is usually blank, as his eyes do most of the expressing by being constantly observant, keeping steadily locked onto points of interest. Some facial hair can be seen on his chin and under his nose, though it's not much now, it could very well become more apparent in the coming days. His nose is rather small, and along with the rest of his nonexistent features, makes his face look rather flat, and overall, boring.

His usual attire consists of a thin gray sweater, a red sleeveless coat, dark green jeans with a red belt that matches his coat holding them up, and white sneakers. Though they will sometimes be stuffed in his back pocket, he also has two necklaces. Usually wearing either both, or neither of them. They are both made of silver, the designs on them being a book, and a star, expressing his love for reading under starlit sky. Other than that, like anyone with common sense he also has a backpack filled with supplies, as well as a few trinkets from home to hopefully keep his spirits up.

Personality: Desmond is rather quiet, though not shy by any means, having gotten over that years ago. He is very focused on his studies and mission, preferring to use his brain rather than brawn. Not that his bodybuild would exactly allow him to make a brawn approach to his situations, anyways. He is observant of others, Human and Pokemon alike, understanding their emotions quite well and not often getting upset at others for harsh words, especially in difficult situations. He knows when trying to comfort someone won't work, and when it just might have an effect.

Giving his past, Desmond is very respectful when it comes to Pokemon and how they are treated. The easiest way to anger him is by mistreating a Pokemon, to which he will step in and try and assist the situation, though most of the time it comes off as him scolding. Which while it isn't on purpose, it's fitting enough to work. More on the topic of his Pokemon, Desmond only has his closest friends as teammates. They have been through thick and thin, and have experienced many adventures, as well as battles. He treats them like family, and they all treat him the same. A truly loving and caring bond between Pokemon and Trainer...

Encounter! Researcher Desmond (Desmond's Theme)

Battle! Vs. Desmond

Just curious, are we allowed to play canon characters? (Gym Leaders or Elite Four members)

I'd rather we stick to OCs. More like the games where random nobodies rise up to be the most powerful trainers in their region, or in this case in the world.

Not to sound like a pest, because maybe you just didn't look it over yet... But am I accepted?

I haven't gotten to read it yet. There is room though yes. Probably going to have 6 people as the absolute max including me. I'll be working here for probably the next 4-5 hours so I'll read it when I can.

Alright, that's understandable. I dislike larger groups, so six sounds perfect. When you get around to reading it, I'll make any changes if you find them necessary. :)

Reserving a spot for my CS here. Gonna go eat but I'll put something up when I get back.

EDIT: CS up.

Name: Aria Solais

Age: 23

Region of Origin: Johto

Character Description:

A girl whose eyes reflect deep thought and a strong will. Short for her age, with long slate grey hair that extends down past her back, her face looks almost childish if not for the doll-like countenance that refuses to betray even a hint of her emotions. She smiles only when she is truly happy, and in these grim times, the opportunity for that is quite rare. Her clothes are always dark, plain, and conservative, which serves as a decent contrast to her pale skin and light hair.

Short Summary of Personality:
Aria is strong-willed and filled with purpose by nature. Raised on tales of heroes and dragons and grand tradition, she idolizes strong trainers, and seeks to carve her legacy on the world and become strong as well. She is short with words, and believes that the real way to get to know somebody is through combat. Because of this, she has very few friends, but makes friends with pokemon easily.

She is completely stubborn when she gets a goal in her head, and sometimes ignores what other people have to say, which has gotten her in trouble many times in the past, but it's a bad habit she just can't seem to kick. This habit tends to alienate the people around her, and very few have stuck around in the long run. But to the people who she still considers friends, she is fiercely loyal, and will kick up a fight in no time if she feels her friends are threatened (even if there isn't actually anything to worry about.)

Brief History:
Born and raised in Blackthorn City, Aria grew up surrounded by strong trainers, who mastered the Dragon type. It was thought that Aria herself would grow to be a strong dragon trainer herself, but when she came of age to take the trials, the girl refused outright. Clair and even Lance tried to convince her of the village's rich history, but nothing stuck. In the end, Aria ran away from home with nothing but a bag of ultra balls, determined to start her own Pokemon adventure.

She journeyed for five years, growing with the pokemon she encountered along the way, before finally returning to Blackthorn at age 20. By this time, she had a full team of pokemon, the majority of them Steel-type, and after a fierce battle with her former mentor, Clair, won the Rising Badge, to round out all eight Johto League badges. Instead of battling the Elite Four for the champion spot, she instead got permission to train in Mount Silver, and has spent the last three years like a hermit in that cave, growing even closer to her team. She has occasionally faced off against Lance, but always feels guilty about her team composition when she does, since Steel-types are strong against Dragons. She would never say whether these battles ended in victory or defeat.

Pokemon Team:

This girl is likely going to get into so much trouble. xD

Name: Selena Diana Artemis
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Region of Origin: Unova



Appearance: Standing at exactly 6'0", Selena towers over many other girls. She doesn't go into the sun all too often, claiming it's bad for your skin, so her skin is pale as ivory a result. She has a slim and lean figure, with decently sized breasts (Big enough to have cleavage, but not so big that they get in the way.) She has black hair that reaches to her mid back, and bangs that are swept to the side that frame her face. She does not feel the need to put her hair up very often, prefering to keep it down, and kept together with something on her head. Her eyes are almond shaped, and are a light shade of blue. She doesn't wear too much make up outside of pageants, apart from red lipstick and blue eyeshadow on occasion, as well as concealer, should it be necessary. She puts a lot of effort into maintaining her appearance, and she makes sure to keep her face clear of any blemishes, and to maintain a good weight.

Selena likes fashion, and likes to dress well. She often wears fancy clothes made by famous designers. However, as she has to wear fancy dresses regularly due to her job, she usually prefers to be a bit more casual in her downtime. Her regular outfit consists of a short sleeved pink dress made of silk that has dark pink stripes going diagonally across it, with lace around the shoulder area. The dress is a bit short on it's own, so she wears black leggings underneath that reach to just below her knees. She wears high heels on stage rather often, so outside of pageants, she wears a comfortable pair of black slippers to keep her feet from getting sore. She wears a white necklace around her neck that has three pink stones attached to it. On her head, she wears a simple pink headband, as well as a silver hairpin shaped like a crescent moon. She carries her things in a pink and black shoulder bag.

Personality: Selena's personality can be summed up in two parts, the part that the public sees, and the real Selena. In the public eye, Selena is exactly how you would expect someone in her line of work is supposed to act like. She is as sweet as can be, and often has a smile on her face. She is kind to everyone, and is practically the epitome of goodness, always putting the needs of others ahead of her own. As far as the public knows, Selena doesn't have a mean bone in her body, and wouldn't hurt a fly. She's has very feminine tastes, and always acts always prim and proper like a real lady at all times.

Most of that is an act she puts on because that's what people want to see. The real Selena is vain and arrogant. She often overestimates herself and underestimates others. She will not admit to making a mistake if she makes one, and will blame something or someone else when things don't go her way. Selena is not shy in the least, and she often finds fault with others, and is quite willing to point them out in a blunt manner. (Though, she can't stand when someone does the same to her, and will get upset and ignore their criticism.) Selena values beauty, appearances mean everything to her. She can often be seen studying her reflection in any reflective surface available. She is also quick to judge others, and she looks down on those she believes to be beneath her. (And that's a lot of people.)

Selena is quite a Diva. She loves the fame that winning such a title has brought her, and loves being in the spotlight. She can't stand when someone else is getting more attention than her, and when that happens, she'll attempt to do something to upstage the other person. She despises dirt and ugliness with a passion. She hates sports, physical labor, camping, or anything that could possibly get her dirty and ruin her image. If forced to do them, she will complain. Something else she can't stand, bugs. Butterfly-like Pokemon (except Volcarona) she's fine with. It's things like Pinsir, Scolipede, and Durant she can't stand.

Selena's public image isn't completely fake though. She is extroverted, and likes people. When her gaurd is down, she is generous, and can be a pleasant person to be around. It's just hard to tell when it's an act and when she's being sincere most of the time.

History: Selena was born in Nimbasa City, and has lived there her whole life. She was born the only child of one of the richest and most famous families in the region. From the time she was a young girl, her socialite mother groomed her daughter to follow in her footsteps, and become a Pokemon Coordinator like she had been, and her grandmother had been before that. Selena entered a contest for children that were held in Nimbasa's musical hall as a young girl, using a Cleffa her mother had given her. She didn't win any ribbons but with her motner's coaching, she did very well for newbie. Right away, Selena loved everything about Contests. She loved all the attention and praise she got when she was on stage, which started to go to her head.

She continued entering in Pokemon Contests throughout her childhood into her teen years, and even well into her twenties. With coaching from her mother, she managed to do very well, and even won a few Ribbons. Selena loved all the attention and praise she got from her mother, the audience, and the contest judges, which started to go to her head. Most of the other kids she went to school didn't care for her condescending attitude, and treated Selena with indifference, and she had few friends as a result. Selena didn't care what they thought, believing that they were just jealous of her good fortune, and that she was better than them anyway. Her goal in life was to be a star, and no one was going to get in the way.

Finally, after years of practice, at the age of 18, she won enough ribbons to be able to participate in the Grand Festival. Where she managed to win the coveted Ribbon Cup, a feat her mother never achieved. After that, she became a celebirty overnight, and finally achieved the fame she sought. As if that weren't enough, it turned out that a representative of a modeling agency watched her performance in the contest, and liked her unique look and sense of style. Selena was offered a modeling contract, which she accepted. She started having photoshoots, go-sees and runway shows. In a short time, her face was the cover of many magazines, posters and billboards all over the world.

Her star was rising, but she still wasn't satisfied. Everything was going well, but she felt like there was still something missing in her life. Every night, Selena has had a horrible sense of regret that keeps her up at night, as well as intense feelings of loneliness when she's by herself. She's tried all kinds of things to relieve these feelings, but they keep coming back. She doesn't know why, she didn't do anything wrong.

Then the Pokemon League sent out a call for all able bodied trainers to help take on the end cult. At first, she wondered why they couldn't get proper authorities to deal with this, and thought it best to stay out of it. However, A small part of her actually wanted to answer the call, thinking maybe this little adventure would satisfy whatever it was she felt was missing from her life, as long as she didn't get dirty. The extra publicity this would most likely bring wouldn't hurt either. That small part of her won out.

At first, Selena was disgusted by her new look, and refused to use her. She quickly changed her mind after being forced to use her, and she managed to prove her worth in a battle. She took her to the name rater to change her name to something more fitting. Since evolving, her personality took on a darker edge.

She gets mad when any of them are threatened, and she will fight fiercely to protect them.

Reserved. Need to work on my app a bit.

Valuing beauty, I highly doubt Selena'll positively react to Desmond's 'I haven't slept in two weeks and I consider it absolutely normal' eyes. xDD

I'm interested in seeing how she and her Pokemon handle themselves. Arceus help us if she gets any stains on her clothing...

This is going to be fun, I can already tell.

Can't possibly be TOO bad, as she's obviously lucky considering she has a shiny.

Also, I'm curious. When you mentioned playing canon characters, which one were you thinking about?

Said shiny became an Umbreon by accident. xD

I was considering Jasmine, actually. xD

Oh. Lol.

Jasmine's cool. If I had to go for a canon, I'd probably pick Lt. Surge.

CS up in my other post. I decided against putting in anything extensive. The rest will reveal itself through the course of the RP, I'm sure.

Wow, that's a lot of interest lol. Might actually fill this one up. I'll be a while longer. Have to wait on my car to get out of the shop and then drive home. I'll check and hopefully approve profiles in the next hour and a half to two hours. Taking much longer than I thought.

They look good to me. Only thing is it seems a couple of you changed the character sheets in the form of Brief History -> History and Short Summary of Personality -> personality completsly removing the intention of them being short xD but i won't fault anyone on putting too much! All three are accepted. I'll work on mine when the internet isn't bugging out.

I removed the Short Summary bit simply because I thought it made the CS look tidier.

Woo, get hype! In other news, I got all six of my pokemon out of the box in X and started roaming around with them again instead of training up lowbies, and I forgot how much I like this team (The six pokemon I listed are my actual team in game.)
