@AbysmalDemon

Should I post my character here to be reviewed once I'm done, or wait until the IC?

[Sho Minazuki]

I'm waiting for OOC. I'm making a new kind of character from last time I played.

[Savo]

All I'm gonna say is I'm grabbing a Gastly xP

Also, they dropped the ball on making our second Grass Dragon type in my opinion.

Could it be possible to have two characters, or no?~ I have another trainer I'd like to use, if possible.

@Rune_Alchemist

If you can handle two, while still having good quality posting, which I believe you can, then go for it.

[AbysmalDemon]

Also, a question for all of you... Would any of you be interested in using custom starters?

Eeeeh, I'll pass, but thanks for the offer.

Gonna post my app here for now. I feel it's somewhat lacking, but it might just be me XP

Alexander Furst

Name: Alex(ander) Furst

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Personality:

If this young adult was found in the arctic, Alex probably wouldn't be too out of place due to his frosty demeanor. When around a lot of people, he can become rather cold and often crude towards other people. He will bluntly state his mind and won't hesitate to skip straight to the point unless he feels like snarking off at a person for acting quite demure. He is slightly a hypocrite in this regards as he dislikes people who constantly beat around the bush and constantly toy with them, especially if the situation is foreboding. In this state, unless you trigger him, he will be nigh difficult to fluster or elicit a volatile reaction from him.

Despite this all, Alex actually feels very... disconnected from other people, save for a few people he seems to trust. He often finds himself feeling lonely with this to regard; to be quite frank, he absolutely loathes it. Alex won't exactly admit this, but he seems to act rather clingy at times, or depressed when not surrounded by others he cares for.

Going further on this, he just doesn't like the feeling of abandonment in general to the point of despising it, even when other people do it. This is one of the quickest ways to set him off, into either pure undulated rage or an unexpressive, dull, solemnness young man.

Most of all, he seems to act more open when around pokemon and will more so select them at the expense of others. During this time, he seems very friendly than it looks to be before and has a particular understanding over how they all act due to previous interactions, though he isn't perfect.

History:

Age 1-6

Having interactions with pokemon his whole life, Alex was conceived by a business man and the owner of a day care center in Johto. While it was near the outskirts of Goldenrod, he always had interactions with other children and myriads of pokemon that trainers would often leave there for a time before coming back to pick them up. The young man seemed to have a quick understanding of pokemon more than he did humans as he would often knew how to interact with each pokemon for the most part, either through sharing some berries with them or playing a few games.

Alex's mother was glad the child was making friends in said department, she felt it would be healthy for him if he had a couple of human friends and often urged him to play with some of them while growing up. Of course, he was somewhat adamant at first, but in due time he inoculated a few others into his "clique" of pokemon friends. Of course, his mom thought he missed the point, but let him do his own thing from this point on, seeing as he had a mutual understanding with the others.

She did keep strict control on which people and poke's to interact with however.

Of course, as he grew up more and more, he was eventually required by law to attend school and was often denoted as a wild child who seemed to rouse up the class and often getting in trouble. This almost lead to him being kicked out of school until his parents enforced some stern methods on him which left him isolated from the beings he came to care about so much. Over time, this lead to him mellowing out in class, but he still had his rough patches.

As he grew older, due to a business position, they had to move out, much to the boys dismay. Alex was often found in tears knowing this, not wishing to leave everything he had behind. So of course, like any sensible child, disappeared into the wilds for a week. Worried, his parents spent most of their free time searching for the boy, fearful of what was to come, contacting the police for any signs of their son, anything.

Things were different, as the boy slowly regressed to some of his older habits and survived due to the partnership he formed with familiar faces. Working together with some of his friends, he managed to organize the food they managed to secure, attempt to scare off pokemon trying to steal their resources, etc. Due to this, some pokemon began flocking around a certain area which eventually lead to the child. Once found, sleep powder was used to put them all to sleep and the boy was retrieved.

Rather sorrowful, he continued to beg his parents to let him stay as he didn't want to lose what friendships he made. While they did regret telling their son about this, they cut him a deal - one day would be dedicated to spending time with those he grew closest to; a huge farewell to him.

Alex sounded particularly pleased about this and he looked forward to such an eventful day, whilst suppressing the thoughts.

...

Despite all the bittersweet good-byes and fond memories, this left an impact on the boy for the following years to come.

---

Age 6-14

After the whole event, there was a two day plane ride in which his father attempted to cheer the young Alex up by explaining all the sites and glamorizing most of the interesting places in the region. He explained that him and his mom would be living in Nimbasa City, often talking about how he would have so many events to attend to. While he did tell him most of his time would be spent in Castelia and would make an even bigger attempt to spend time with Alex since he acknowledged that he wasn't there that much for the boy. While he didn't exactly understand everything at the time, Alex gave him the biggest hug he could for a six year old and told him he was a good papa for trying to cheer him up.

While his father spent most of the time trying to reconcile due to lost time, Alex seemed happy for the most part... but when they arrived, he was more... "withdrawn" when it came to school. He always seemed to distance other people from him, keeping people at arms length. While this lead to kids trying to bully him due to his demeanor, he would often brush it off and ignore them... which got boring after a while. So they went to a last resort and got physical.

Which ended badly since they kept trying to gang up on him one at a time.

It only served to push everyone else away completely, seeing as he believed they would only want to come to him to use as a verbal punching bag or otherwise. During this time, he didn't have many friends (aside from pokemon) which left his parents befuddled. This eventually lead to more teasing and eventually the other children making him out to be less than human.

When he was ten, he decided to start helping out his mom at the day care she was hired to work at, seeing as he had nothing better to do. This lead to one of his ventures and a chance encounter at making a friend when one of the Darakuma's decided to run off, leading to a full on chase to get her back. While some of the caretakers were faster, they lacked the stamina to keep up which resulted in Alex chasing the pokemon all the way to the ruins, despite pleas and shouts for him to come back.

Upon entering, he got lost in the place, though he found the place to be quite intricate and interesting. He made sure to avoid the obvious traps and pitfalls that looked to engulf others who fell in. He was able to easily find the Darakuma, following the fading footprints that lead from one hallway to the next.

What he encountered next was unexpected.

As he took note of the spellbound pokemon, he swiftly dove and grabbed it, taking it somewhat by surprise. Of course, there was a youth by the sharp corner who looked to be around his age, standing around the corner. She didn't seem to take much interest in the boy, but he almost found it peculiar that she was out here on her lonesome.

Eventually after that incident, along with returning the Darakuma, he would, from time to time, head out there, either with his parents or solo. More often than not, he would always end up running into her afterwards, always taken aback by her sudden appearance, but soon grew to expect it any time he was there exploring.

Of course, one of the days when he decided to go assist his mom at the day care, he ran into said girl on his way there. While she was fairly silent, Alex seemed to be the more talkative of the duo, starting off by commenting on him seeing her often in the ruins. While he was cautious of her, the lady didn't seem to malignant. One thing lead to another and she eventually invited him on a venture to the ruins with her.

The silence spoke much louder than words.

...

During this time, he often heard of some of the other kids attempting to get their trainer license. While the test wasn't particularly difficult, he didn't care for the most part as that meant you technically graduated from the trainer portion of school, and for the most part. Alex wasn't too keen on missing out on the fundamentals, along with dropping out too early due to the implications... plus he had made a friend also.

Though, when they got older, during one of their journeys in the ruins, she fell into a sand trap and sunk deeper into the enigmatic building.

Which left him horrified to no end.

Over the next few days, he began to search for her, determined to discern her location and bring her home. He even got his parents on the case, though they seemed to have a grim look on their face when he told them.

Eventually after three days, she came back on her own, completely safe and sound... however she seemed somewhat... different than before. She acted enigmatic in a childish way. Sounds all fine and dandy, except Alex, while happy, felt rather bemused about how she survived in there. Further more, she was accompanied by an unfamiliar ghost pokemon which was holding a mask that looked... eerily similar to her face.

One thing lead to another and eventually a confrontation over how she survived. While she continued to playfully mess with him, it only roused him up and caused him to break down due to him immensely worrying about her safety... and her just making one huge joke of it.

Once again he was friendless and the ruins became less... occupied.

... during this time, he moved away once more due to a business decision. He never got to reconcile...

---

Age 14-17

Nothing to really say here except he was lonely and continued his schooling. Along with that, his mom managed to save up for opening a day care in Estoria City and managed to make it stand out due to its greenery. During this time, he managed to graduate from school, but doesn't exactly know what he wants to do with his life. Still sporting a cool attitude, he started working at the pokemon day care before eventually coming to a resolution on how to discover what he was made for.

A journey.

He had passed his trainer exam a while back and could apply to be a full fledged trainer. Saving up on money, he constantly prepared himself for the task ahead, building up his savings and buying items for the trip. Soon enough the day was there.

It was time for him to encounter his destiny.

Lynnette

"Eeeeh?~ Me? Now, why would I tell you about me?

*Giggles* You idiot~

We're not friends and I could care less, so how about you and your pokemon do the world a favor and die?"

Name:
Lynnette Crawford

Age:
16

Personality:
To say Lynnette is troublesome is...an understatement. The perfect word to describe her is simply, a brat. She doesn't take much interest in other people, and tends to spend time more or less alone unless its to purposefully antagonize others. Scathing and catty in her mannerisms, she's not a pleasant person to hang around at all. Indeed, she seems to go out of her way to purposefully make herself out to be a bad guy or villain. Whatever the reason, seems to be only known to her and possibly a few other people.

That said, if one just so happens to get past her snark, purposefully antagonistic remarks and general dislike of people she deems to be 'goody two shoes', or otherwise folks attempting to get close to her, they may just find her able to have a conversation easily enough with them. Granted, she always speaks somewhat cryptically when not insulting others so finding the truth behind her words is always difficult. She gives no truths or answers when she's speaks or is asked a question.

Indeed, it seems she's actually quite intelligent and she has a fascination with ghosts, spirits, and other things in general relating to the afterlife. Perhaps, if one were to get close enough to be someone she tentatively calls a friend, then they will see softer side of her and figure out where this fascination with such things comes from. Such a thing would be difficult to do, unfortunately, and wouldn't be something done in a day.

As of now, she seems to have very few redeeming qualities about her. Though, on very rare occasions, she's show to have some redeeming qualities.

History:
Originally hailing from Nimbasa City, Unova, Lynnette has a somewhat...normal life growing up. Her parents were fairly average, middle class folks. A loving family, really, with her parents doing the best they could to support her. That said, there's always been a bit of rift between them and her. It was nothing as flashy as her actively disliking them, but there has always been a silent strain between the parents and their child. For whatever reason, Lynnette simply felt she was being smothered at home, unable to do what she wanted. Whether that was actually true or not, is something that is mostly lost to history.

Lynnette spent a lot of time growing up in the Desert. More Specifically, Relic castle. As a kid growing up, she never really was all that sociable. She preferred to study the ancient ruins there and the company of the pokemon that lived there. Indeed, most often she was found there doing all manner of things. School work, socializing with pokemon and occasionally helping tourists that possibly had gotten lost in there. Having explored it extensively, she knew almost every nook and cranny there.

It was during one such excursion she met a boy. At first, she took almost zero interest in him. In fact, he was interrupting her, so she more or less told him to get lost on numerous occasions. Well, at least until he seemed to make a point of visiting the ruins. And eventually, after some time, she invited this kid to hang out with her. Honestly, he was the closest thing to a friend she had ever had.

And she went and blew it.

Around the age of fourteen, there was an accident. She tripped, getting careless in her exploration and fell into a sand trap. She doesn't really go into detail about what happened, even to her parents or the doctors they rushed her to upon her return. She was fine. She survived, and that's all that mattered. If they couldn't accept such a fact then well, she had little she wanted to do with them. She didn't need the protection of her parents, besides. She made a new friend there. A friendly little Yamask that may or may not have been the sole reason of her surviving mostly unharmed.

After this incident her personality seemed to change drastically. Instead of the quiet, studious girl she become more outgoing, but not entirely in the good way. Often, she spoke as to purposefully confuse people. Behaving in purposefully confusing manners and often times answering questions about what happened with riddles, half truths, and perhaps even the odd soliloquy or two.

In the end, it pushed her friend away, and he moved shortly afterwards. Her life continued in a similar manner from here. Often times, she simply walked out of her front door and left her home. For days sometimes, much to the horrified dismay of her parents. The longest she left currently? A two way ticket to the Johto region by ferry. How did she get her mitts on it? Well, ghost pokemon tend to be good at stealing things.

Eventually her parents found her, and she returned. Now? her parents are at their wits end with what to do with their daughter. They've tried everything. History is repeating itself, and she's brought herself a one way ticket to the Fordis region with no intention of ever returning to Unova.

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?~

@AbysmalDemon
And there she is. Do tell if there are problems. Well, aside from her being 100% pure evil.

Also, if I may make a request - the Yamask she possibly starts with, is the same one that's been following her around all these years but she has of yet to actually catch. If that's not doable, I understand. I'll give her another.

Also decided to change Lucy's starter to a Purrloin, to at least give a bit more variety in typings.

[LokiLeo789]

Is there any way you could have lil' ol' me?

[AbysmalDemon]

@Rune_Alchemist When you said pure evil I thought it couldn't be that bad... Then I read the quote. She looks good :)

@LokiLeo789 Of course!

OOC is close to being done. All I need is one person to help and it will go by faster, but if I do it alone it will probably take an hour or so more.

Also a hint to some of the things I'm working on, unscramble it.
