Pokemon Mystery Dungeon
Shadows of the Past


This name may be familiar to some. It's the name of an RP I did about a year ago now. However, over the course of the RP many things went wrong, and I kept changing the idea for the RP. After some time and thought, I closed the RP and put it behind me. But there has always been a nagging feeling that makes me wonder what could have been... So, after some work on the lore and story, a complete overhaul of the previous characters, and an actual timeline for the RP, I think it's finally time...

The New Shadows of the Past will be taking place in an AU Timeline of mine. Following after the story of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity, this takes the place of the Story of Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. Here is a summary of the history of this AU:



The Roleplay will be taking place about ten years from that point. There has been relative peace across the globe, but there was still common events such as the Mystery Dungeons and Outlaws. There had been no sign of Mewtwo, and many believed he had perished after the Final Battle. However, whispers are starting to float about, concerning signs of Mewtwo's return. As those whispers begin to reach the ears of a veteran from the Second Great War, he knows the day is approaching that he has been dreading...

Since this RP will be taking place instead of PSMD, some things will be changing lore wise to fit with the AU Lore. A few examples as follows:

- Emeras and Looplets still exist, with an explanation of them being remains of shattered Mega Stones.

- The Towns and Organizations from PSMD still exist.

- Mega Evolution is Achievable through either an Awakening, which is only available in a Dungeon, or a Mega Stone, which allows the holder to Mega Evolve anywhere.

Alright. I think that just about covers the basics for this Interest Check. If I get enough Interest for this, I'll get a character sheet out for you guys to submit some characters. If we get enough characters, I'll throw up an OP and we can get the ball rolling!

@Dirty Dan Just a little concerned about post history. Good to see interest though.

@Veradana A fresh face, I see.

@Rune_Alchemist @The One Good to see some interest from you guys.

I've got a few others who might be interested as well, so I'll start working on a Character Sheet and have it up by tomorrow.

Showing some interest. I've been dying to try out my Buizel OC. There's one little quirk about her backstory, which is that she's been raised by Magikarp (you read that right) and it will impact her personality some, but I'll take that out for this RP if need be.

@UmbreonRogue I'm not at all opposed to having a Pokemon being raised by another species. I've got at least one or two chars in my PMD RP experience that have gone through that. I'd have to wait and see the full CS once I hand it out, though, to make any real decision.

Character Sheet Now Available on the OP. Does Not Have To Be Centered. That's just the way I formatted the OP.

Here's an example I'd made a while back for the character that will be playing one of the Valiant Village Guild Masters:



And feel free to go all out on personalities and backstories. Go as in depth as you want, but just don't make it a novel. The Background Story and History of the Character Before the RP is only half the character, after all.

@Shiny Keldeo Question can we make born Pokemon or just human turned Pokemon?

@The One There will be little to no focus on Humans at all for this one. So Born Pokemon is probably the only shot.

Well, I'm-a done with making my character. Should I PM it to you or wait until the OOC is up?

@Shiny Keldeo

Hm

around what level would you rather us start out as? Are we all newbies or are we allowed to be a bit more experienced?

Might be making two characters for this, if possible. Maybe a duo.

@Rune_Alchemist I'm not too picky or reliant on levels, personally. Just try to keep Pokemon Evolution Stage 2 or Lower. If you want to do a Stage 3 Evolution, talk to me first. Experience wise, you don't have to be a complete newbie. You can have a decent amount of experience.

As for multiple chars, I'm 100% okay with that. I prefer to play with multiple chars myself.

@Shiny Keldeo

Do you have a more definitive timeline for all the events mentioned in Spirit's history? Basically, I just want to know what events would be reasonable for our characters to have lived through and which are more "this happened a long time ago in Grandpa's Day" sort of thing. Thank you in advance!

Just gonna throw my interest right in here...

Because Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is my shtick.



And I have a thing for Insects that can act as the sun.

Or I could dabble with another concept I've been having for a rp such as this.

Alright, I finished up. I'm gonna store these two here for now and wait for the OOC but if you want to go ahead and tell me if anything needs changing that's cool.

@Veradana I can't make a definitive timeline as of yet, as there are some events that are still unknown to the main groups that have happened that could spoil parts of the Roleplay. However, this is my take on the timeline between the events I have mentioned:



I'm basing this sort of off the fact that a Pokemon's Age Growth, as far as I know, hasn't been explained in great detail, so I figure that they would be sort of like Dogs in a way, aging faster than Humans. So by this time in the RP, the only thing left from the time of The Great War would be bits and fragments of ancient text.

The farthest back I could probably see a character currently knowing anything would be PMD1.

@1Charak2 Good to see ya on board!

@Rune_Alchemist I almost said no to the Meowstic when I first saw it, but being a Female saves it. There is a Male Meowstic Character who works for the Guild in the same capacity as Espurr from PSMD.

Only thing I would recommend doing would be adding a Team Name for the two in the Notes Category or somewhere where it will stand out.
