[OOC] Pokemon: New World

[Typical]

@eklispe Heyyy just checking in since it's been a week(?) since you posted :)

[LuckyBlackCat]

@Zarkun @Dusksong Sorry, going to be really busy today. I'll reply later if possible, but if not, I'll post tomorrow.

[ToadRopes]

I was pretty busy today, participating in the marches and doing some charity; I'll try to have a post up tomorrow morning.

[Eklispe]

Ah yes, I'm around still. I'll try to put something up, I've got a few other things I need to finish up first though T.T

[ToadRopes]

DOES THIS MEAN I CAN GET THA POWERFUL STEENEE THO??

[Typical]

@toadropes Yep :) go for it

[p1ssaragi]

Alright, so I'm down to join this, but do I post my CS in the OOC tab or the Characters tab?

@p1ssaragi

OOC first for approval

[p1ssaragi]

Thanks, I'm working on it now.

@p1ssaragi Welcome to the New World OOC! Feel free to address any questions you have to me; I'm on quite often so I'll probably get the answer back to you within half a day, latest.

[Masterkeun]

@Dusksong what kind of towns and pokemon can we start with?

[Lugubrious]

@Dusksong what kind of towns and pokemon can we start with?

@Masterkeun

I can help with that. You can start in any town listed, and you can have an unevolved pokemon with a type that is included in the area's types. For instance, if you picked Central City, you could start out with a fire, water, grass, normal etc. type, but if you started in Feyhollow you could begin with a fairy type, for instance.

You'll be able to find all locations in the OOC OP. If you want to start somewhere with other players with which you character can interact, check the IC. Most post have location tags in them.

Not my best work, but I think it's decent.

Adam Shoji

Name: Adam Shoji
Age: 22
Starting Location: Adriana City
Rank: Beginner
Organization:

Appearance:

Ignore Red Eyes, he's the only character I can think of to fit well enough.

Biography: Adam was raised in the lower-middle class of Adriana City- his family earning enough to get by with some amenities, but not overly so. His father was an auto mechanic by trade, and his mother working at the same shop doing all of the paper work. It wasn't too much, but it was enough. Living in the lower level of the city, Adam didn't really interact too much with those in the upper echelon of society, though a nicer vehicle did come through the shop once in a while.

As a child, Adam would constantly be playing with the wild and stray Pokemon living in the area, Pichu, Poliwhirl, and other species that happened to thrive in a human-dominated environment. With his parents' work, Adam felt a bias forming toward electric-types, with their abilities to help around the shop and surrounding areas. At 18, Adam enrolled in a trade school, earning his certification to follow in his father's footsteps in under three years. After another year of work, he had saved up enough money to be free from his home- to go chase his dream of exploring the world.

Personality: Adam is overall a rather carefree individual. Or so he likes to think he is. The young man is a little snide on the outside, sarcasm ready to start up at any second. He likes to poke fun at people, not hoping to offend or make someone hyperaware of something, just lighthearted joking. He learns pretty quickly about that kind of stuff- he knows what not to say around who, and exactly what to say around others. That said, if someone got on his bad side, that'd flip back pretty quickly- he'd know what to say to thoroughly rustle some jimmies.

Adam has a decent ability to make plans for himself, however, these are quite susceptible to random changes, somewhat on an impulse. Chasing that Metang for 2 weeks? Or going to go chase that Magnemite? Which one is more likely to succeed quicker? That's what really controls those decisions: time, effort, and likeliness to be a victory for Team Shoji.

Inventory:

Inventory

• 1x PokeDex
• 1x Pokeball
• Basic Surivival Gear (Sleeping Bad, Tent, Cookware, Etc.)

Pokemon Party: There's gonna be a Shinx here, mark my words.

My only real question is do I start right out of the gate with a Pokemon, or do I have to go wrangle one in IC?

@p1ssaragi

You gotta catch it.

[p1ssaragi]

@Zarkun Okay, time for some Shinx wrastlin' soon, then. I think this is the same way my first Pokemon RP started off, too, ironically.

@p1ssaragi

Out of curiosity, you DID notice that all trainers start with one Pokeball right? Obtained from a friend or family member?

[p1ssaragi]

@Zarkun Yeah, I did, I'm just going by the logic of physically weakening a Pokemon before to make sure the capture works. Did I forget to put the Pokeball in my CS?

[Zarkun]

Yeah, but as long as you know you have it.

[p1ssaragi]

Okay, I'll edit in an inventory just to keep track of things, then.

[Typical]

@p1ssaragi Mk so one thing:

Biography: you mentioned that Adam would play with the wild pokes. Assuming that these pokes are from Adriana city, there would only be electric and water types. Sadly, the location typing is very restrictive here. So, Pichu is fine, but Wingull is a Water-Flying dual, and flying Pokemon don’t live in Adriana, so if you could change this…

Other than that it should be good; could you PM the finished sheet to @balthazar007, our GM, so that he can give you the formal approval?
