Welcome back to Kalos Region, ladies and gentlemen. It's been a solid five years since the whole crisis with Team Flare came and went, and the esteemed Professor Sycamore has moved on to other regions to further his research into Mega Evolution. So who, just who, would take over his research? Meet Professor Apple, a Unova-born genius who shared Sycamore's interest in Pokemon evolution. She's gathered up four young would-be Trainers from across the Kalos Region via mail, explaining her interest in Pokemon research and how her studies mostly have her tied down in Lumiose City. Naturally, they accepted. The appointed quartet is to meet up at Aquacorde City, where they are to finally meet Professor Apple in person and receive their first Pokemon.

The time has finally come. Four young aspiring Trainers-to-be have gathered at Aquacorde Town, where Professor Apple is waiting for them.

I'm reusing a character from another Pokemon RPG that died too soon.



Name: Andre Bellamy

Age: 18

Gender: Male

Personality: First off, Andre has tastes that are usually considered femmine. His favorite color is pink, and a lot of his things are pink and have hearts on them. He likes fashion, and he has a taste for cute things, and he's not really emabrrased by it. He really doesn't understand why a lot of boys have an issue with guys liking that kind of thing. He just guesses it's because they're insecure about their masculinity. Andre is very obsessed with beauty and looking good. As a Movie Star, he feels he has to maintain a certain image, and because people don't want to be friends with an ugly person. He always makes sure he is perfectly groomed before leaving the house, and as such it takes him a while to get ready in the morning. Because he puts so much effort into looking good, he hates getting dirty, as it ruins all the work he put in.

He really values his relationships. He goes to great lengths to make friends and fans everywhere he goes. He often attends parties to meet new people. Someone not wanting to be his friend upsets him, and he will try to make that person his friend whether they want to be or not. For the same reason, he also likes love and romance, and as such he comes across as a flirt. He openly hits on people (he's openly bisexual, so guys as well as girls) he considers to be attractive, though he is usually more polite about it then most guys, because he is genuinely looking for a relationship. He also likes pairing people up who he thinks would make a good couple, regardless of gender and orientation, and jokingly teasing the two involved. He can be charming and manipulative when he wants to be. He knows just what to say to win people over, which sometimes helps him get his way in many situations. While he is polite and well-mannered, and typically acts friendly towards others, he treats people like objects to make himself feel better. He can be self-centered, and disregards how other people feel and what they need if it's not benefiting him somehow. It's not something he does consciously, it's just how he is. He was brought up believing that people's affections can be bought, and it's worked out for him so far.

Having become used to being given whatever he wants, Andre has been spoiled by wealth. He has an appreciation for the finer things in life. He wears expensive clothes, drives around in fancy cars, takes exotic vacations, and freely spends money like it grows on trees. He is very generous with his money, since he has so much of it, trading a a few dollars for something better is no problem. He's also found it much easier to woo people with money. He especially enjoys being famous, and being adored by many. He doesn't mind the the craziness that comes with being a cleberty either. Bad publicity is still publicity, as long as people are talking about you, then that's all that matters. Andre has always been accustomed to life on top. His worst fear is losing it all, whether that be ruining his movie career, or losing his hard earned friends. He speaks with a noticeable Kalosian accent and usses French words a lot, but he can speak Englsh just fine.

Brief Bio: Andre was born in Lumoise City, Kalos. Andre's childhood is not what one would consider normal. His parents are both famous actors, and since his birth he's been in the lap of luxury. Due to his parents being famous actors, and therefore often busy, Andre rarely ever saw them. He was also homeschooled for a while, and was rarely able to leave the house. He felt lonely being in a big empty mansion with only caretakers that were too busy to keep the kid entertained. Andre's parents brought him expensive toys to make it up to him. For a while the shiny new toy would make him feel less lonely, but soon he would get bored of it, and the loneliness came back. He thought something better would solve the problem. When his parents announced a new trip, the young boy cried, and of course, his parents brought him a new, better, more expensive gift once they got back. The same thing happened, it would make him feel good for a while, but soon he'd get bored again. He would continue to ask and receive more and more expensive things throughout his childhood. It was great, and Andre grew accustomed to wealth and having anything he wanted on a whim. It was nice, but it still wasn't enough, the bad feelings still didn't go away.

At some point, his parents thought it was a good idea for him to start interacting with other kids, so they enrolled him in a private school. When Ande started going to school, and meeting other people his age, he got a lot of attention from them due to the fancy toys he had that they couldn't afford. At Recess, every kid wanted to play with him. Being with others that likely made him feel just as good, if not better, than opening up a brand new toy. It was then he thought that if new toys won't help, then maybe people will. He made lots and lots of friends, and Andre was happy for a while. Soon his family had to move away, and Andre was transferred to a new school. Having lost all the friends he made, Andre was upset for a while, but he soon worked to make new friends in this new place, and he was happy again. Then his parents moved once more, and the cycle continued. He was never truly content though, because he always had to leave all his friends behind.

At the age of thirteen, Andre's family moved to Virbank City, Unova to further their careers. There, his parents encouraged their son to follow in their footsteps, and become an Actor. They put him in acting classes, and used their connections to pull a few strings, and get him a starring role in a major film. He didn't want to do this at first, but did it anyway to please his parents. While making the movie, he came to enjoy being on a movie set, and acting. When his first movie went to theaters, and became a box-office success, he enjoyed all the fame and attention it brought him. Or more specifically, he liked all the adoring fans. He also enjoyed the piles of money, expensive things, and all the glamour that being a movie star brings. He decided to pursue a film career, while also attending school when he wasn't filming. After doing that for a few years, he became as famous and successful as his parents. He is often chased by Papparazzi and crazed fans, and he is also often the subject of ridiculous rumors in gossip magazines. Usually, they involve him spending absurd amounts of money on something lavish, being seen at a party, or romance rumors with various other celeberties. (Not long after hitting puberty, he discovered how attractive people were, and the joys of love. Although he's never had a serious romantic relationship, much to his disappointment.) He doesn't mind all the craziness that much. As long as he has all his adoring fans, then all is well.

Andre has everything now, devoted fans, a luxurious life, and piles of money at his disposal. Despite this, he still isn't satisfied. He feels like something is missing, but he isn't sure what that is. He recently decided to take a break from filming for a while, and returned to his native region, to do the whole Pokemon Trainer thing he never had a chance to do when he was younger. Then he got a letter from someone named Professor Apple asking for a group of trainers to help with her research. Andre accepted the invitation for the opportunity to make new friends, and get a free Pokemon

Starter Pokemon: Jolie the female Cleffa
Starter's Personality: Jolie Is a relatively young Pokemon, and Andre is still discovering who she is. One thing he's discovered, is that she likes being the center of attention. When no one is paying attention to her, she will do something cute, to get noticed. In general, she enjoys using her cute looks to get what she wants. Aside from that, she is a friendly and playful Pokemon, who really loves how much her trainer spoils her rotten.

Theme song: Vanity: Lady Gaga

VA: I really don't know any VAs who could do the voice I have in mind, :/

Anything else: He specializes in Fairy type Pokemon. Mainly because most of them are cute.

I remember Mr. Bellamy. DJs and Rotom come to mind.

That said, I have three things to nitpick, mostly in the interest of the RP's survival. In order of severity from smallest to greatest, here goes.
1:

Crimson Flame said He speaks with a noticeable Kalosian accent (like everyone else in this RPG...)

Professor Apple would like a word with you. She's from Unova :P
2: To my experience, Clefable is hella competitive. I'll take a deeper look at the fairy in question, but you may want to consider a backup plan just in case.
3: I'm altogether skeptical about the idea of dropping a celebrity into a quartet of people who are supposed to be nobody special, to be polite about it. I don't think the other trainers would appreciate fans and paparazzi invading every time they entered a major city.

Barring the last two of these, you should be fine.

While not a nitpick, I also found something for if you'd like to change your image to something not from tektek. They bring back memories of some very bad RPs for me, but it's more of a pet peeve than an outright problem. While not clad in pink, this fellow seems to bear a pretty close resemblance to Andre.

Will add to the hider :)

Accepted. Adding to hider.

Spots remaining: 1

I hate to be that guy but...

What's competitive? That it's OU? Yeah, no.... >> My whole team is going to be competitive.

I've made the whole movie star thing a huge part of his character, that I'd have to make major changes to work around that, and I'd rather not. :/

Still here. Making my application.

We may be at a bit of an impasse then. Don't get me wrong, I think Andre Bellamy is a great character in his own right, but he doesn't seem fit for this RP. I can't ask you to change such a critical part of your character, especially if you'd rather not have to work around something like that, but I can say that despite the fact that I do like his character, I'll have to respectfully turn him down for this one.

No rush.

'Allo?

may i claim the last spot?

You can try for it c:

With all this interest, it seems almost a shame to arbitrarily limit the player count to four. There's no guaranteeing even those four will stay (aside from the OP of course) so I would guess that being open and risking a few quitters would leave us at about four anyway. But you're the boss.

Name: Vincent Willow

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Personality: Vincent is a odd fellow. He is usually always in a book learning everything he can about the Pokémon world. He is very optimistic and usually can never see a negative to a given situation. Vincent tries to be analytic about any of his battles, but can get carried away and miss an obvious solution. Vincent towards others is variant depending on the person(of course) but usually their looks/actions is what he judges by. He will point out a mistake if existent, but does this in an attempt to for them to learn, not just to be mean. Vincent is quick to judge a battle, and can get a little upset at losing, but tries to play it off to show he's not.

Brief Bio: Vincent was originally from the Hoenn Region, more specifically Mossdeep City. As a child his parents always tried to get him to read books about Pokémon since they couldn't afford to send him to a Trainer School. Eventually Vincent's reading became a habit, and he spent most of his childhood reading and observing Tate and Liza's gym battles to learn some tactics. As such it was always Vincent's dream to face of against Liza and Tate and win, and attempt to go the Ever Grande League. Fortunately, his family gets a letter from some relatives stating she would love to have the family come over since Team Flare is no more.

Upon arriving in Kalos, however... Vincent had gotten sick. So for the first few weeks Vincent was in his house recovering and as such would look out of the window occasionally and notice the variety of Pokémon is much more diverse than Hoenn. Soon, once Vincent recovered, Vincent requested from his parents that he get all the Kalos Books. His parents, giving in to his wishes gave him some of the Kalos Books and Vincent since then dwells in his books. It is now the day Vincent gets a letter from Apple requesting his help for her research and he prepares his stuff to start his adventure with a few others on the quest for Apple.

Starter Pokemon: Marill
Starter's Personality: Vincent's soon to be Marill is a bit Quirky on the personality list as in it's personality definitely doesn't match her appearance. Marill is quick to be mischievous and tends to steal things from people's bags. This probably explains why Marill usually is in a Pokéball. Marill loves to fight and always radiant with energy as if she never runs out. Marill will be very frustrated if it faints(after she recovers of course) and will blame the trainer for her loss.

... that moment when you read the story set up and realize your back story just got botched.... actually its easily fixed... I think.... time to finish the CS

Name: Milo Cash

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Personality: Milo isn't socially awkward but more socially deprived sometimes finding it hard to continue a conversation or saying things he shouldn't. Though he has oddities to his social aspect he is caring and for those who make it past his awkwardness he'll love them from then till the end of time. Besides just the social depravity his actions don't make it easy as some would call them odd, even though to him they are just what he does.

Brief Bio: Milo wasn't actually born, more cloned and partially infused with pokemon DNA (giving him more perception into the pokemon world and odd human pokedex knowledge), but he doesn't know this yet as his family always treated him as a son just extremely protective of him. He had always been a little pampered when around the house so he spent a lot of time trying to be outside his most common escape being up a tree or on the roof. Milo always kept his family's Poocheyena with him, seeing them as his only true friend since everyone seemed to leave at ten years old besides him.

Eventually his parents disappeared no trace, no reason, nothing and worst of all they even took Poochyena. Milo at first waited and then eventually went to follow his dreams taking nothing with him, being independent and seeing the world.

Starter Pokemon: Seedot
Starter's Personality: Seedot is very protective and loyal to Milo, but can be a bit lax when Milo isn't in danger and theres no battles.

Theme song: (for fun)

VA: ("voice actor", also for fun)

Anything else: Enjoys Climbing,

Seems you've been beaten to the punch. EDIT: I don't even know what to replace that statement with. Feeling stupid now that I remembered I accepted your CS already.

I'll add Vincent Willow to the hider now, but if you'd like I can contact you before anyone else when/if a spot opens up later on. I'll admit, Hiro, you had a close call and I almost said no.
Sorry Phoenix, but I had three reasons to decline you, which I'll keep undisclosed unless you'd really like to know.

That said, we now have four trainers. Work on the IC is due to begin temporarily.

alrighty thanks! I will post in the IC tomorrow however due to it getting late here and need to sleep for school
will post as soon as i can tomorrow!
