NAME::

Cyrus Lock

APPEARANCE::


AGE:: 14

GENDER:: Male

PERSONALITY:: Cyrus is a promising trainer who just needs a push in the right direction from time to time. Growing up looking up to his older sister as the example of a great trainer, he developed a slight inferiority complex. At first glance he's timid, hesitant, unsure, and may seem almost unfit to be a trainer. But when it really matters he shows a natural affinity for the role. He has a great mind for battle and his enthusiasm and resolve are highlighted when he's set his mind on a goal.

Cyrus also demonstrates a keen understanding of Pokemon, especially those who have qualities not unlike his own. He wants to go out and experience the world together with Pokemon and become a trainer worthy of their trust. To that end, despite his initial reservations he's always willing to give something his all.

BRIEF BIO:: Cyrus grew up in Lumiose City. Early in his life he was much more afraid of Pokemon and had a hard time being around them. Then, once his older sister became a trainer she helped him get over that. Soon his sister set off on her own journey, deciding to go out to another region, Sinnoh. All the while she kept in touch, telling Cyrus about her adventures and the wonderful bonds she made with all kinds of Pokemon. She became his ideal of a great trainer and was inspired by all her tales to finally take that first step.

After challenging the Sinnoh League, Cyrus' sister felt that she was ready to come home and take on Kalos. After hearing the news Cyrus had decided. He was going to start his own journey. He wanted to be the kind of trainer his sister became and now that she was coming home, he knew the motivation to catch up to her would be even greater.

STARTER POKEMON:: Shinx
Starter's Personality: Shinx, in one word, is protective. Despite his size he's fully confident and ready to stand between his trainer, as well as other Pokemon, and anyone or anything wanting to do them harm. Strong willed and steadfast in it's own code of armor, Shinx seems to conduct itself like a knight. Loyal to a fault, he hopes to prove himself worthy to his trainer.

MISC:: Cyrus is no genius but he has taken an interest in engineering and has notable knowledge when it comes to machinery and basic tinkering. Thus he carries and pouch of tools everywhere he goes.

@Vongola_Hasayo Your sheet looks fine to me. Hang around - Ob and I talked, and we will likely issue a decision tomorrow morning, EST time.

Name: Rosaline Nelie Vandrow

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Personality: ”Like a river, she can be beautiful and calm one moment and rough and exciting the other.”

Feisty, adventurous, and full of boundless energy, Rosa is only capable of staying still for so long and must almost always be moving or doing something. She hates to sit around and wait, often getting annoyed when people make her wait for longer than a few minutes and rashly leaving if they hold her up too long. Despite this, she is hardly ever serious, preferring to joke around with others and playfully dragging them on her ‘adventures’. Taking risks and getting into trouble is almost a fact of life when around Rosa.

Though having accepted the opportunity with Professor Apple, Rosa actually has no confidence in herself as a trainer. Her only reaction with pokemon were hanging around them in their natural setting and she had never even thought to become a trainer in the first place. She has never even actually watched a pokemon battle, though two of her brothers have become trainers themselves, and doesn’t know what she’d do in one. Rosa is partly afraid of her inexperience in battles and also of injuring her own pokemon when she receives it. Whatever happens, Rosa doesn’t want to harm other’s pokemon unless necessary.

Brief Bio: Born in the Orange Islands, Rosa was the only daughter out of five children to pokemon watchers Vincent and Julie Vandrow. Though her parent’s home was on the southern Mandarin Island in the Orange islands, Rosa travelled with her parents all over the archipelago. As such, she is more use to constantly moving about rather than staying in one place, something that sometimes gets her in trouble but often leads her on what she calls ‘adventures’. There were too many tales to tell of how Rosa had wandered off from her brothers or protective mother and ended up playing with a snorlax in a clearing of berries or swimming with a lapras. As she grew up, she never grew out of her adventures and instead started to leave on them more often. Her parents would grow worried as she disappeared nearly every time they went to a new island as Rosa would leave to swim with the mantykes and goldeen, laze on the sand with the slowbro and psyduck, or even climb trees with mankey.

It was only when Rosa disappeared for a near whole day, having gotten lost late in the afternoon after having fallen asleep on a snorlax, that her parents had enough. They, who couldn’t always watch her and wanting her to grow out of her comfort zone, sent her to live with her Aunt in Kalos. Though Rosa never stopped her adventures, she was disappointed at how little she was able to get away from her Aunt and often spent more of her time simply sitting by the beach in Coumarine City and watching the pokemon swim by. She felt as if all the fun things in her life were simply floating by. That is, until she got the mail from Professor Apple. A chance to be a trainer, to have an adventure, and to almost do as she wishes. Rosa wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity and, though her Aunt desperately wanted to say no, her parents had said yes. She got her ticket to Aquacorde city and set off for the beginning of her journey.

Starter Pokemon: Spheal, Female, Nemia


Starter's Personality: Nemia is a feisty and playfully little spheal, more often preferring to play with other pokemon rather than fight seriously. As such, Nemia seems to more often than not being playing when she is in a battle rather than taking the fight seriously. She loves people and will often roll up to them if she likes them and clap for attention.

Misc: Rosa considers herself an artist, spending most of her time on her ‘adventures’ drawing the pokemon she meets as they go about their daily events. As such, she carries a book full of empty pages, a lot of pencils, a sharpeners for when she needs to draw something.

[RBYDark]

This sheet looks pretty good, @Mag Lev. I think that covers everyone who wanted to make a sheet, so we'll close for now, and Ob and I are going to go over the sheets.

[Ashevelendar]

@RBYDark So. When will know who is accepted in the RP ?

[AtaxiaIV]

I'm just munching on the popcorn and having a dance while waiting

[RBYDark]

Right now, actually.

I'll try to keep this short. As you know, there were only three slots available. Ob and I sat down together and looked over the sheets - one of our biggest thoughts while going over them was, 'if we pick this character, how might they interact with the rest of the group?' It wasn't easy - for the record, if there ends up being any drops, we are happy to call back everyone who applied and wasn't accepted - but we did finally pick three.

@AtaxiaIV @Mag Lev @CloseEnough please move your sheets into the CS tab. An opening post will go up later today for the IC.

@Vongola_Hasayo @Ashevelendar @MechonRaptor @Seagull Bay your sheets were good, just - space is limited. If anyone can't make it or ends up having to drop, you are on top of the wait list to be invited back. I thank you for your efforts and patience, it really was a tough choice to make.

[AtaxiaIV]

Thanks for accepting me, it really is appreciated.

I've transferred my CS and also created my first post. I've probably written more than I would normally (atleast for character interaction purpose) but just wanted to get the back story in between Sully and the exchange student now. Hope it's ok.

[CloseEnough]

this is handled really well guys, so I gotta say awesome job! And thank you for accepting my character.

[AtaxiaIV]

So seeing as we are under way and the rules mention a dibs list, would it be worth us all discussing the Pokemon we intend on catching?

I mean ideally the two I want more than anything else are Gible and Noibat. If I could get those two I really would not be bothered about the rest of my selections. Still, in the hider below I have listed the team of six i'd like to build throughout the story.

Team of Six

Axew (Starter)


Noibat


Gible


Growlithe (Obviously would need permission to get at Anistar)


Riolu


Gligar

Team of Six Post Evolution

Haxorus (Starter)


Noivern


Garchomp


Arcanine (Obviously would need permission to get at Anistar)


Lucario


Gliscor

This is obviously just a potential list and I expect that some of you guys will also want some of those i've listed. Perfect scenario would be that I haven't listed anything anyone wants and the GM's ok me to take them lol. If anyone does want something i've listed, just say so and we can sort something. Just think it may be worth getting this stuff worked out, plus it gives us all something to chat about.

[Fish of Oblivion]

Yeah, definitely worth discussing:

1. Anything that isn't on the dibs list I posted or a Legendary should be fair game so long as there's a feasible way to get it in-story. There's a possibility that you'll end up sharing a line with an NPC, since there are a fair few plans in the pipeline, but we'll steer clear of your starters and I'll keep the dibs list updated so we don't have the same issue with player characters?

2. Tentatively speaking, your list looks a-ok to me. Neither me or RBY had particular plans for any of those Pokémon, so if nobody takes exception to any of your choices, you should be good to go with those?

3. I'll leave it to RBY to post a list for Mia, since it's probably changed a little since it was last brought up way back when, but my own list for Charlie is:

My Hider

Gastly-Haunter-Gengar
Scatterbug-Spewpa-Vivillon
Phantump-Trevenant
Sawk
Golett-Golurk
Beldum-Metang-Metagross

Lynda doesn't have a list (outside of Totodile) on account of being an NPC who'll likely just pick up whatever's available whenever it's appropriate to.

Somewhat relatedly, if we're looking to get some conversation going; how about that Sun/Moon news?

[CloseEnough]

Well if that's the case, than I should get right on to making Reeman's team than. Thank goodness my planned one's arn't taken yet XD

Hider

(evolving depending on experiences)

(older brother had one)

[AtaxiaIV]

@Fish of Oblivion Not really a fan of losing Gyms but I guess it's good that they are trying to keep things fresh by changing it up. Not quite sure about Alolan form of Gen 1 either.

However, I'm am looking forward to seeing the evolutions of Rowlett, could look bad ass! That horse(forget the name) looks amazing aswell.

@CloseEnoughI was close to putting Fletchling but decided to chance Growlithe lol. Good job I did.

[Fish of Oblivion]

@AtaxiaIV Yeah, replacing the Gyms is strange, but definitely an interesting move. I really like the idea of Alola Forms, just dunno if any of the ones so far are going to help the base Pokémon much. Personally most interested in the way the story could turn out now; with Skull, Aether and the Ultra Beasts around, seems like we're looking at a much more interesting story than most other games outside of Gen V.

And yeah, gonna be great to see what those end up being like. Particularly interested in whether or not the rumours about split evos end up being true or not!

@CloseEnough List looks perfectly fine to me; if @Mag Lev doesn't have any clashing choices with either of you two, I'd say both lists are good to go!

[AtaxiaIV]

@Fish of OblivionYeah the story is what I'm looking forward too most. Much rather a good story with my games these days than graphics and such.

[Mag Lev]

List

Walrein


Ludicolo


Ursaring


Ampharos


Dragalge


Vaporeon

Rosa, while seeming like a primarily water type user, does like variety. That and cute pokemon.

[CloseEnough]

@AtaxiaIV

I was originally gonna put on rapidash, but than I realized that it's not on the catchable list. Always need a fire type and thought fletchling would be a good sub.
But yeah, really happy we didn't clash ether XD
