Since I have loads of free time, and the other site I RP on is being boring right now, I'll try to be active again.

CS coming as soon as I decide on one.

right, here she is. Hope she's acceptable~

Question, though. Are we keeping up with levels and such? If not, how will evolution work? Just whatever makes sense as long as we don't go overboard? Same with moves, in that case? I'm starting off with Salandit around 15-20.



Yeah levels are kind of like how I see in the anime. Your Pokemon's known moves and ability to level up depend on the relationship with the trainer and yeah also on level. I guess an example would be if Io caught a Magikarp and evolved it right away. It could evolve right away from two reasons that I guess I deem realistic. The two are:

The magikarp was being stressed out to the max and it was getting angry, flipping and splashing about that it evolved (uncontrollably, mind you). The second being that after traveling with Io for sometime the two develop a friendship/bond strong enough that the magikarp wants to prove to his trainer that he can do so much more.

Those are just two examples that I came up with, but I'm sure there are plenty more creative ones you all can come up with.

As for Lucille, I told myself I'd wait for most if not all the character applications to be posted before picking people up, but I think she would make an interesting traveling companion for whoever else is going to be involved... So welcome aboard!

Is gender even-ness a thing cuz I was gonna make a lady and that might make it 3:1 and I dunno if tht's a thing you want


Nah the gender ratio isn't a problem for me, unless it is for you all. inb4IOharem

Oof, I definitely have a character idea for this but look at all this interest already!

Honestly, we'll have to see how well my character will mesh in such a modest group. I'll take the chance anyway since I've already sunk the hours in but it'll really depend on who applies overall. Honestly, I think she could fit into the dynamics pretty easily if at least one of the "professors" I reference whom were paid to keep an eye on her are involved with or a part of the main group.



wow that transparency did not come out as i hoped it would

I can age her up a little bit depending on your interpretation of the world, GM, but I do want to keep her pretty young (it's not because I'm creepy, it's just how I imagine her). My personal head-canon is that the Unova region distributes Trainer's licenses to Trainer's School graduates—courses which last up to six months and can be taken starting at a pretty age—starting at age 12.

I apologize if Meowstic seems like a bit of an extreme choice for a beginner, no matter how much that beginner studied, but I did try my best to justify the decision, it is her only Pokemon so far, and, honestly, I just really want to use the title "Of Meowstic and Memories" at some point and it would devastate me if I lost access to that chance.

Also please correct Portia's weight if it's too unrealistic! There's so much research I can do on the ideal weight for a 4' 9" girl in one sitting before I begin suffering serial boredom... (It's a pedantic detail but a detail none the less.)


Wow she's an interesting character, Portia. But as for fitting her into the group, I'm pretty sure we can find a way to connect her to Io as he is an assistant researcher to both Professor Kukui and Professor Oak in Alola. I'm pretty sure we can also make a connection to her mother.

With that said, welcome to the team Portia.

NOTE FOR EVERYONE ELSE:


I know I said I was only looking for a few people (3 others), I'm extending that offer now as I didn't expect so much people to be interested in joining me. So right now the role-play is still open so keep on applying!

Yessss

Glad to see everything's in-line. My questions still stand just in case and I can tweak things as we go. Otherwise, I'm pretty excited to play Portia! This is the second time I've used the concept (first time on this particular site) and I want to try a couple of iterations before setting her character in stone.

Having that connection with Io is perfect, too. Nice to be a part of the pack! I should put Portia in the Characters tab, correct?

Go for it! And understandable on trying to find how your character really is. I'm using Io in another Pokemon RP currently too to see how different he can be when interacting with others and also trying to see which one is the real him that fits his description better.

Name: Lorenzo Amoré
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Appearance:

Lorenzo is somewhat short for a young man his age, standing only at 5'4". He is aware of this, and makes jokes about it if it get's brought up. While he does claim his lack of height adds to his appeal, he does wish he were taller sometimes. Despite seeming weak and fragile based on his appearance, he is actually stronger than he looks. He keeps himself physically fit to compensate for his lack of height, and has a fairly toned physique hidden underneath all the clothes he wears. He was born with a pale complexion, He has neatly styled blonde hair on top of his head, and his bangs go to his eyebrows. He has big violet eyes. A trait that seems to run in his family. As well as a small nose, and a round "Babyface", which give him a youthful appearance. His face is clean-shaven, and his upper body is free of any hair except the top of his head and eyebrows.

Lorenzo is very into fashion, and likes to dress well. He designs his own clothes to reflect his taste, as he has a hard time finding clothes he likes in men's clothing stores. His fancy wardrobe mostly consists of button down dress shirts, vests, trousers, and dress shoes. He always keeps his clothes neat and tidy. It is rare to see him in a simple T-shirt and jeans. His wardrobe contains a lot of different colors, but there will always be something pink in whatever he chooses to wear. His current outfit consists of a pink dress shirt that fits him well. Over this, he wears a sky blue vest. He likes to wear scarves, and the one currently around his shoulders is sky-blue. He also wears a blue pearl bracelet bracelet around his left wrist, and a diamond ring on his right ring finger. On the bottom he wears a pair of sky blue trousers, held up by a belt with a gold buckle. His choice of footwear include a pair of pink dress shoes. He accesorizes this with a pink cap on his head that has a diamond brooch attached to it, and a pair of pink diamond earrings hang from his earlobes. He carries around a sky blue messenger bag.

Personality: Lorenzo has tastes that are usually considered feminine. His favorite color is pink, and a lot of his things are pink. He is very into fashion, and designs his own clothes to reflect his tastes. While he isn't necessarily vain, he does like to take care of his appearance. He carries around a mirror, and often consults it when he feels like he needs a confidence boost. He also doesn't particularly care for getting himself dirty either. His goal in life is to become a clothing designer, because he feels there is a lack of nice clothes for men, though he also doesn't mind making clothes for women. He also has a passion for cute and pretty things. It's the reason why he likes the Fairy type. The Pokemon under it are gorgeous. Anything he perceives to be adorable whether it be a person or a Pokemon makes him squeal excitedly. He also has several childish interests as well. He has a collection of dolls. as well as cute Pokemon plushies, and his room is decorated with posters with characters from his favorite cartoons.

Lorenzo is adorable, and he knows it. He does use it to his advantage if he knows if it will benefit him somehow. Usually to flirt with guys, or get himself out of trouble when they get mad at him. Due to his small size, and child like appearance, he is often perceived as being weak. This has earned him both the ire of bullies who liked having an easy target, as well as the care of nicer people who felt like they had protect him. He works out regularly to compensate for this, but people still coddle him. He considers it both a blessing because it gets him attention and people think he's cute, and a curse because some people treat him like a child even though he's almost an adult. When he does get bullied, he'll usually respond with some sassy comment, but it does get to him once in a while. He doesn't understand why so many people have problems with boys liking pink.

Regardless, Lorenzo is a cheerful optimistic person. He is often seen with a smile on his face, and acting like life is all cupcakes and rainbows. He believes it's easier to live life when you expect the best than expecting the worst. This does not mean that he is never sad. He cries openly when he's sad, but it doesn't take much to make him feel better. He is also very affectionate. He likes giving, and receiving hugs, and often gets very close to people. He devlops crushes on guys rather easily. These qualities make him a natural flirt. While he likes people in general, he is attracted to men. You can often find him staring at, and flirting with guys he finds attractive. In general he is an emotional person. While he seems childish at times, Lorenzo is a happy, fun loving young man, who just wants to be accepted for who he is.

Hometown/Region: Undella Town, Unova

History: Lorenzo Amoré was born in Undella Town, to Italian parents. He grew up in a prominent, wealthy, upperclass family. His parents doted on both him and his older sister, Cadence. While Lorenzo was homeschooled until he reached a certain age like his sister, the boy liked to play with the other kids in the neighborhood. Lorenzo was never interested in the things typical boys were interested in. He liked cute little ponies, and Barbie dolls while most boys liked playing with toy cars and football. This made him the target of bullying by other boys. Lorenzo didn't really care much, because he usually just played with the girls. They played better anyway. When the bullying did make him sad, he always had his sister to turn to for comfort.

Things started to get different when he was in middle school. He noticed the other boys talking about girls. His own sister was often the subject of their attention too. Lorenzo found himself uninterested in the subject of women. Sure, there were some cute girls in the school, but the guys were way better. For a while he kept his attraction to guys a secret. He wasn't sure there was anybody else that understood how he felt. After he saw pictures of his idol Movie Star André Bellamy, kissing other hot young actors in magazines, he slowly grew more comfortable with his homosexuality. He eventually found other gay boys at the school, and started flirting.

Cadence caught him kissing a boy one day, and that was when he came out to his family. All of his family members were fully supportive of him, and the fact that he was gay was not that big of a deal. His sister even enjoyed having someone she could talk about boys with. Now, Lorenzo dates and flirts with other guys a lot, but he still hasn't had a serious relationship yet.

He learned how to sew and design clothes early on in life. He realized quickly he wanted to design clothes for a living when he discovered the lack of clothes for guys that interested him. It was all the same thing in his eyes, while women get so much more variety. This forced him to learn how to fix them to suit his tastes. It started by purposely dyeing white clothes pink, and it progressed from there. He wasn't opposed to creating nice things for women though, and he gets practice by making clothes for his collection of fashion dolls to wear.

When he turned eighteen, he took a trip to the Alola region to try out this whole Pokemon Trainer thing. His family preferred that he stick to Unova, but Lorenzo wanted to do something new. He also wanted to go to Alola because they had Fairy type Pokemon he hadn't seen before back home. So, after promising that he would check him with the family back home, they gave him their blessing, and took a trip to Alola. His parents also arranged for him to get a Pokemon from the Professor. Naturally, he chose Popplio

Pokemon Team


Trivia:
  • He speaks Italian, and uses Italian words in his speech from time to time.
  • His planned team is the same as my in-game Sun team. I used a Mono Fairy team in Sun
  • His goal is to be a Master Fairy type Trainer
  • Fairy type is best type. :P

Oh my, I can see Lucille and Lorenzo here getting along rather well to begin with I think. She's going to have a Ribombee and Alolan Ninetails if she can get her hands on them.

steel type is best type

@Karkinos
Also...just noticed your character is a kid. No idea how I missed that the first ten times I read your CS.

Welp.

I know who Lucille isn't gonna get along with. Mostly because she has no idea how to handle kids.

Man, it's been soooo long since I made one of those things. I can practically feel the rust flaking off. Hopefully, it's all right.
I might end up getting a picture at some point, but for now I guess imagine a hex maniac.



Not too adverse to changing stuff that may not work. I haven't had to write a personality or history in ages. Kind of just let them happen during, don't you know.

Well I'm fine with either, but I think that'd depend on how much detail we'd exactly want to get into. Like, do we just want to generally say they're friends? That's easily discussed here I think, since it doesn't require too much detail.

Or Do you wanna go into a bunch of details and stuff about their relationship (if any, other than friends? How long they've known each other, etc.) PMs might be a better place to discuss details like that, so we don't clog up the OOC since it might get a bit long.

@Rune_AlchemistI really don't know to what extent their relationship was, if it was just passing friends or what, haven't put a whole lot of thought into her life at home yet or that part of history. Though maybe not too close, as I fear that'd make things a bit difficult.

@FoxymewI can imagine Lucielle may have been mildly poisoned once from Valerie's cooking due to Valerie finding the greens herself. Because she's absoloutely rubbish and picks anything that looks fine, and thus routinely cooks fine tasting meals that aren't exactly good for you.

@Rune_AlchemistOh god, poor people XD Valerie wouldn't even catch on to that, I don't think. Probably just think that people suddenly begun liking her more and be happy about that as she hardly takes notice if she passes out or foams at the mouth after eating.
at first I was thinking that if she ever makes food for the group in the middle of the woods, Lucille would be all "Trust me, you don't wanna eat that" or somesuch, but now I think she'd encourage them for seconds XD

Oh yeah, you should try some, Valerie's like THE BEST cook!

"Hmm? Oh, she's a great cook, darling. It's to die for, really!"

Later, after making sure not to eat anything:

"I didn't lie. She is a great cook if you want to feed a trubbish."

Yeah, that is about how that scenario would go xD
Definitely would encourage them to eat, though maybe not for seconds.

Anyways, yeah, I think that's good for now.
Don't want to clog up the OOC too much anymore, but if you have anything else specific you wanna discuss hit me up in a PM. I've gotta go for a bit.
