[Thundercrash]

Not sure whether she's going to be a survivalist hunter who also hunts Regime soldiers or a medic whose definition of mercy includes the phrase "mercy kill".

[Lyghtbringer]

"Oh look. You broke your leg." -shoots through head- "now your better"

[Rightful Heir]

@Thundercrash Really like both of those ideas. I'm excited to see your character!!

I'm about to eat dinner, so I will eat dinner and then post again to keep this ball rolling. I really like where it's going!

[Thundercrash]

Leaning more towards survival hunter (fits with having a Sneasel for a partner), but she'll know enough first aid that she can keep you from dying right away.

[Lyghtbringer]

Its too bad a feebas isn't feasible. It would be kinda funny to throw this ugly sponge fish at people and beat their butts with it...

Wouldn't it be funny in pokemon games if you could only battle using fish pokemon near a body of water? Like, throw out your magikarp in the middle of a desert, and it immediately gets KOed. you know. Cause it can't swim anywhere and needs water to breath.

[Rightful Heir]

@Lyghtbringer Indeed. xD

[Thundercrash]

@A Tattooed Girl Question: is there a limitation on where our characters can be from?

[Rightful Heir]

@Thundercrash Nope. I neglected to mention where this all will be taking place, and where we're heading. I was thinking maybe some place in Wyoming to start out, and maybe traveling towards Maine where the Rebel base is located. My characters are currently going to travel through Yellowstone (the forest area I spoke of in my post). It won't matter much where a character comes from, but, as long as they're currently somewhere in the surrounding area. :]

Ugh. Finally done with Aiden. Will try to finish Lilith tonight. @A Tattooed Girl

History

History

🔥 Rebel or Regime? 🔥

REBEL

🔥 Pokemon Companion 🔥

Eithina, an Eevee

🔥 History with Pokemon 🔥

Found Eithina a few years back, running from some regime thugs. Abandoned in a alley, beat to hell; I couldn't just leave her there. Course, I always knew how to take care of animals, what with me growing up on a farm an' all. Fixing her up was no trouble. As for her fear of others, we're still workin' on that. As for now, I keep her safe, she keeps me company. Anyway that's the short of it."

🔥 Short Biography 🔥

"I was taught since birth to defend my principles, what I saw right, on pain of death. Both my ma and pa believed this, lived it. All well and good, 'til they were killed for it. Bunch of regime assholes sayin' the farm wasn't producing enough and that they would have to take it over. Course they took it in the end anyways. With nothin' but the blood of my loved ones holding me to the land, I ran. I was...probably fifteen at the time. Been runnin' ever since, looking for a chance to avenge my kin and all the others the regime has wronged."

Aiden lived on a miltank / cattle farm in his early years. Despite the regime's tight grasp on everything, it was perhaps the only way people had any freedom at the time. The regime, with a very watchful eye, allowed Aiden's family to live outside the city, on regime government land populated by regime animals.

🔥 Persona 🔥

Aiden is a driven spirit, more-so than many others. His belief is that a man's only worth the sweat on his brow and the strength of his back. That is to say, he believes strongly in the power of hard work. Before his parents' death, he had drive. Though his past changed him, it did not break him. The regime gave him purpose, a target to focus his energy on. He is adamantly opposed to doing anything 'the lazy way', especially if it achieves a less reliable result.

More generally, Aiden is a man of principle. He does his best to live the way his parents saw fit. Above all, he strives to be an honest individual. Lying for personal gain does not sit well with him; he will rarely resort to such behavior. However, he will do anything to keep his friends safe, be it lie, kill, cheat, or steal.

Aiden is a resilient spirit. He is discouraged very little. He always finds a way to work around his problems, which makes him a quite skillful 'builder' (here 'builder' is used to mean, one who makes useful objects out of less useful objects). Rooting in his experience with farm equipment, Aiden enjoys tinkering with anything he can find. Mostly, in this day and age, his knowledge has been implemented to build defensive equipment -rudimentary bombs, handheld weapons, and other lethal instruments. He can most easily take something apart, clean it, put it back together, and tell you how it works, regardless of how complex.

🔥 Physical Description 🔥

At 6'2" and 221 lbs, it would be most apt to describe Aiden as a ball of muscle. Constant wrench turning, along with the exercise gained from evading regime troops, has kept him in peak physical condition. Because razors are a rare find in the post-regime streets, Aiden's sandy hair fluctuates between long and shaven for fairly equal but unpredictable intervals. As of now, it is around four inches in length, left messy and unkempt. His dark brown eyes appear gaunt, weathered.

Pokepal!!!

Eithina

Aaawwww...

Personality: Eithina is a tough spirit, adaptable to almost any situation she encounters with ease. Her mental toughness is her foundation and has much to do with where she is today. She is also incredibly intelligent for a pokemon, able to understand even complex commands. She enjoys volunteering in Aiden's builds, often by acting as a "go-fer". She is somewhat able to interpret English numbers, though only ones with very little variance (IE, not hand-written).

Though she is very proficient alone, she has a personality like an uncontrollable fire, making teamwork more difficult. She is very competitive, aggressive even, and resorts quickly to fighting. She is also very reluctant to form good relationships, be it with new people or new pokemon. Despite her shortcomings, Eithina is very protective of those she considers a friend.

Appearance: Apart from a standard Eevee, Eithina has a small portion of the tip of her left ear torn off. Additionally, she wears a red scarf, which she is never seen without.

[Lyghtbringer]

Rebel or Regime

Rebel

Pokemon Companion

Sneasel (Razor)

History with Pokemon

Shade and Razor have known each other since they were very young. They first encountered each other while she was on a hunting trip with her father, and over time have developed a relationship first as playful competitors, then as hunting partners.

Short Biography

Very little is known about the wanted felon known to Regime soldiers as The Butcher. They first came to the Regime’s attention approximately two years ago, when capture teams began disappearing. Further investigations has narrowed it down to a single individual tracking and systematically murdering Regime soldiers, however attempts to track down this individual have proven to be frustratingly difficult due to the lack of survivors and the fact that they never stay in a region for great lengths of time.

What is known is that they are ruthless, with all victims, both human and Pokemon, having had their throats slit, in addition to other injuries. They are also very good at evading detection, as well as luring capture teams into traps.

Persona

Shade is a grim individual. She is used to spending large amounts of time alone with only Razor for company, so she has a tendency to be very blunt and straight to the point with people. She is primarily driven by a her hatred for the Regime, making her ruthless when dealing with them and suspicious of those claiming to have left. She takes no pleasure in killing, but she does feel that this war is not going to have a peaceful resolution and recognizes that the Regime will not show anyone mercy, so neither will she.

Equally important is her reverence and love of Pokemon. Shade grew up being taught that all life was sacred and connected, and that thoughtless or intentional cruelty was one of the worst sins one could commit. For this reason, she prays for every Pokemon she kills so that its soul may find peace, safe from the Regime’s grasp.

Physical Description

Shade is quite short, at 5’2”. Her black hair is very short and choppy, like it was cut with a knife, with sharp amber eyes that seem to pierce through you staring out from her round face. Due to growing up living off the land, Shade has a very lean musculature and is stronger than she looks. She wears thick, warm clothing that is very worn, torn and patched up from use.

@A Tattooed Girl And here she is :)

[Thundercrash]

@A Tattooed Girl Sorry for the double post. I'm kinda wavering on the Pokemon, may want to add a second one.

[Lyghtbringer]

Could see her with something for movement. Maybe an aerial hunter like a pidgey or taillow. Either one starts out as a cute little bird, but evolves into powerful flying hunters.

[Rightful Heir]

@Thundercrash accepted (: go ahead and post your character, and you can post in the IC (:

[Thundercrash]

@A Tattooed Girl What exactly is this convoy?

[Rightful Heir]

@Thundercrash Transporting captured pokemon and rebels. :)

[Rightful Heir]

Had a lot come up today, and I'm just barely getting into bed at 4AM. Ugh. I will be replying tomorrow, terribly sorry for the delay. If you feel it necessary, feel free to post a second time? Again, apologize for my absence! Really liking all these characters. This is turning out to be a great start!

[Lyghtbringer]

@A Tattooed Girl Things happen!

A few questions. Defensive attacks, aka: reflect, safeguard, protect and detect. How well do those work? Can I use protect to block bullets? Can I use reflect similar to in game, a barrier to weaken physical attacks?

Stat boosting moves, could I have a Pokémon (sneasal) use swords dance, then cut though a metal wall?

Could I have a metapod use harden 50 times then carry it around under my shirt as a makeshift Kevlar vest?

How intelligent are our partners? In game and in anime, its implied that pokemon can understand human speech perfectly AFTER being captured, and imperfectly before. Is that the same here?

[Rightful Heir]

@Lyghtbringer

Defensive attacks, aka: reflect, safeguard, protect and detect. How well do those work? Can I use protect to block bullets? Can I use reflect similar to in game, a barrier to weaken physical attacks?

Yes, defensive moves work the same way they would in the show/game. The blocking bullets is a bit tricky, in my opinion, but I'll let that slide and say yes - that using a move like Protect would in fact keep you safe from incoming bullets as well.

Stat boosting moves, could I have a Pokémon (sneasal) use swords dance, then cut though a metal wall?

Sounds plausible. ^-^

Could I have a metapod use harden 50 times then carry it around under my shirt as a makeshift Kevlar vest?

I'm gonna have to say no to that one x) But that's a pretty interesting idea. In the long run, someone COULD, I just.. I don't really think anyone's gonna have a metapod in this RP xD To have to carry it around everywhere would become tiresome at some point. Can't have anything weighing you down, too much, in this type of setting.

How intelligent are our partners? In-game and in-anime, its implied that pokemon can understand human speech perfectly AFTER being captured, and imperfectly before. Is that the same here?

I would have to agree that yes, it'd be much like the show/game. However, if a wild pokemon (most of our Rebel companions, because we don't posess the items to actually capture them) spent enough time around humans, they could potentially learn how to communicate with us and we with them. Same with actual animals in our own world. Training and spending time together gets both you and your pet learning different things about each other. Facial expressions, mannerisms, etc. :]
