Years ago, the world fell into ruin. Evil godlike pokemon had grown restless, and hungry for power. They wanted the world for themselves. To rule over everything. To be the only gods. Banding together, the evil gods, led by Yveltal, declared war on the world. To make matters worse, they had armies of zealous followers willing to commit great atrocities in their God's name. Not to mention, numerous pokemon were promised wealth, power, and status in their new world, and as such, joined the cause.

But the world wasn't defenseless. There were numerous pokemon dedicated to preserving the world. Xerneas, Palkia, Groudon, and many other deific pokemon stood fast in the face of evil, vowing to defend the world. At their side stood those who would fight against the encroaching destruction. They would accept all help from all pokemon, regardless of motivations.

And so the war began. Good fighting against evil in what would come to be known as the Oblivion War. As the godlike pokemon clashed, the very planet began to to shake and crumble. Mountains were reduced to gravel, millions of lives reduced to nothing in an instant, Oceans rose and fell hundreds of feet, even the very continents began to shatter and separate.

The war was not short, lasting nearly eight bloody years, but eventually, Yveltal was brought down and killed by Xerneas, who gave her own life to destroy him. However, the planet and its inhabitants were broken. The world had nearly ended, and the world would never be the same. Many deific pokemon met their ends on both sides. But there was hope on the horizon.

During the war, many legendary heroes (Legendary in the feats of power and glory sense, not literal legendary pokemon)would rise and fall during the war. The ones that survived would go on to change, and even rule in a sense, the post war world, along with the remaining deific pokemon.

Over a decade later, the world has begun to heal. Suicune has begun purifying the waters of the world with the help of Kyogre, Regigigas has pulled the continents back together, the Shaymin have started to regrow forests around the world, and many of the slain godlike pokemon who fought for peace are beginning to be resurrected. And one particular legendary hero has begun to make a name for himself yet again.

In the city of Mandalay, in the country of Narvac, one building stands above the rest: Songstream Hall, on old concert hall that was turned into a Guild Hall, run by none other than one of the legendary heroes of the Oblivion War, Kick the Blaziken. He believes that despite the harshness of the world, there is still hope, and that the world needs heroes now more than ever. However, age is taking its toll on Kick, and he seeks to recruit a newer, younger generation of heroes to help the world.

However, gods are resilient beings, and don't like to stay dead. In the shadows are those who would try to resurrect the evil gods to continue their conquests. Rumors have begun to spread of their exploits, though many dismiss this as mere paranoia.

Site Rules: Follow site rules and use your head. If you've got beef with someone, take it to PM's.

Posting Expectations: I don't expect a novel every post, but I and other players do need something to work with. Try to get around the three paragraph mark at a minimum. As far as frequency, I don't expect a post every day either. People have lives. If you're going to be away for an extended period of time, be sure to let me know. If you're going to leave the rp, please let us know, and if you want something specific done with your character please let me know.

Age Restrictions: I'm going to ask that you be at least 18 to join. Given the themes of the RP, this is the way things have to be. Also, there are those who are not comfortable role-playing with minors, so once again I'll ask that you be at least 18.

Character Slots: I don't particularly have a hard number of players I want, and the amount I'll end up accepting is based on interest. If only 4 people apply, then it's likely all 4 will get in. If 12 people apply, well, not everyone's getting in. The reason I do this is because a more reasonably sized group is easier to coordinate, and I can pay more attention to each individual player, rather than spread myself too thin with a dozen players. The other reason I do this is to encourage players to do their best when making a character. Rather than half-assing a character because you know you'll get in, you now have to fight for your spot, and will hopefully put more effort into making a character.

Character Creation: Be sure to make a well crafted character for the RP. I understand that this isn't exactly a bright and cheery RP, but nobody wants to have to deal with the edgelord skulking in the corner being cringe.

Get Creative: Don't be afraid to make your own creations, whether it's characters, locations, or items. More creative and well crafted characters stand out more.

I Am The Law: As the GM, my word is final, and I have the power to veto anything I deem veto-worthy. I'd rather not have to use this power, but I will if I have to.

Hello, I'm here.

We post it in the character section, right?

here as well

You post it here, then I approve or deny it. Once it's approved, then you can post it in the character tab. And don't forget to pm me about the secret part.

@Lord Orgasmo Can do!

Also, are shiny Pokémon/Pokémon colored differently allowed?

I'll allow shiny pokemon, sure. The only pokemon I'm currently not allowing is the Porygon line.

Alrighty, all I needed to know. Thank you!

Name: Tatsu

Appearance: He wears a black sash around his neck that's torn. He's also a bit chubby, as far as charmanders go, making him look adorable and a good hugger.

Species: Charmander

Sex: Male

Age: Adolescent

Ability: Blaze

Moves: tackle, ember, metal claw, leer

Guild Rank: "Recruit"

Equipment: Bag is filled with both sentimental and practical items. A hammer, a lunchbox, a shell necklace his sister gave him before heading off to war, and around his neck he has a torn sash his father wore often.

Personality: At first, Tatsu is very shy. He isn't a very big charmander, so he feels very vulnerable and will often hide rather than face the world. However, as he goes on, his confidence will grow, and he'll finally come into his own. He trusts very easily especially if the pokemon is gigger and stronger than he is, and he isn't too keen on being looked down upon. By anyone but himself. He can be self depricating at times, especially if a mission is failing or has failed.

Bio: working on it? The war has left him an orphan, as his mother died after he was hatched, his older sister had to go fight, and his father went to fight and died. Tatsu spent his time trying to survive, he also spent time hiding, much to his chegrin.

Trivia: He hates water. It doesn't matter if it is close to his tail flame or not, he detests it.

Secret: Everyone has a secret. What's yours? (Do not include this in your final character sheet. Instead, send it to me privately. I'll use these to help create plot hooks and relationships.)

If you guys need help formatting or anything like that, be sure to ask.

Here you go, here is my character!

Name: Thunderr

Appearance: He's smaller than a normal Pikachu, coming up to a standard Pikachu's shoulders.

Species: Pikachu

Sex: Male

Age: Adolescent

Ability: Static

Moves: Thundershock, Growl, Tail Whip, Quick Attack

Guild Rank: Recruit

Equipment: Bandana tied around his neck in normal PMD fashion, as well as a bag on him from coming to the hall.

Personality: Thunderr is a courageous mouse with a thirst for adventure and often gets himself into trouble due to that, as well as being reckless, impulsive, and quick to act. He is determined and can be rather stubborn, refusing to back down from something, despicably if it's something he strongly believes in. Thunderr is very compassionate, kind, and caring, looking out for others and doing his best to make sure they're safe and taken care of. He is the kindest mouse there is and extremely generous as well. To a fault. Say if someone just ate, and they wanted more food, he would give them his, even if he was hungry.

He’s also curious, and that can lead him into getting into trouble a lot. He wishes to help others, being a good-hearted mouse that just wants to do the best he can. He has a pure heart of gold. He has a drive for battle and to get stronger, so he can more easily protect those that can’t protect or defend themselves, and he wants to prove to others that he's just as capable and strong as others.

He's a fighter, a warrior at heart, and he won't take anything laying down. He can be sassy and snarky. He has a fondness for battling. Thunderr can be rather modest, remorseful, thoughtful and very selfless. He is rather skillful and intelligent, taking charge when the time comes. This Pikachu is a natural-born leader. He's loyal and will defend his friends and family with his life.

Bio: To be added, gotta finish it out.

Trivia: Thunderr will speak in yellow.

Secret: It's a secret, obviously.

Currently stuck on thinking of a name, so 's soon as I got that sorted out, I should be good.

Names can be tricky at times. Do you want help picking a name?

Already settled on a pair an hour back, forwarded my sheet to the GM in PM for a cursory look.

@Ammokkx Ah, alright. I look forward to seeing them when you post them.

Here he is, for your viewing pleasure.

Aw, I love Gale so much.

And into the CHAR tab he goes

I wonder how well Gale is going to get along with the other Gale.
