[OOC] Orre Trainer Academy

[TAGM3]

Clayton

Name: Hey there, I'm Clayton Dalee

Gender: In case you couldn't tell, Male

Age: 17 and a half

Appearance: Clayton

Region of Orregin: Orre

City of Origin: Gateon Port

History: I was actually born in rough, tough Pyrite Town. I lived there up until I was about three so I don't remember much. We moved to Gateon Port because of my dad buying a boat there, we obviously couldn't use it out in the desert, so it was bye, bye Pyrite Town. My mom also says we moved because Pyrite was back to its old dirty self and the law force around there weren't the best, to say the least.
In Gateon we moved close to the town 'gate'. About a year later by dad actually started up 'his own' delivery/postal business, despite the fact that he delivered for Makan (A senior who owns the Gateon Junk Shop), just delivering around Orre. I would always go with him just to see the region, we always seemed to have trouble getting through the desert too, until Makan and Perr (Makan's grandson) upgraded my dads truck, he made it hover. Yeah, badass.
After about 5 or 6 years of just delivering in Orre my dad's business started to grow popular. Remember the boat that my dad bought, well he spruced it up and eventually turned it into a delivery ship. He named the boat Peliper's Quest, same as the company name, and started delivering to Kanto (and some other foreign lands that aren't as popular). Around this time he also started delivering Pokémon Cologne, miscellaneous furniture items, and much more. This is when I became intrigued about Pokémon, but my parents wouldn't allow me to have one because they said I was too 'mischievous', as if! I was just curious. On, about, my dad's third trip they brought back a Swinub ... by accident. The Swinub suck aboard the ship and anyway, long story short, I caught it.
Soon after catching the Swinub, my dad started letting me go with him to various other regions for deliveries. I absolutely loved this and enjoyed it quite a bit. I seen new places, met new people, and encountered loads of Pokémon. I caught quite a few too, some I gave to my mom and stay at home as pets, but Swinub was the only one I took everywhere. I never really got into the trainer battling scene until a kid from Sinnoh moved to Gateon. He actually taught me how to battle and told me most of the basics, I started catching Pokémon to battle and that's when I decided to wanted to go to the Orre Trainer Academy. I want to become the best I can be, and also make new friends as well!

Personality: Hm, where do I even start? Um, I'm not commonly seen as a serious person, I'm pretty laid back but not lazy! One of the attributes that people say shines through most often is my calm demeanor, probably because I practically never panic. But, I guess because of this I'm not very cautious... I'll accept any challenge as long as it's actually possible. I don't battle like this, though, I'm actually a very careful battler because I don't want to hurt my Pokémon.
I personally like instrumental music, mostly sea-faring music, probably because I'm from Gateon Port. I love puns and try to think of clever nickname puns for my Pokémon, but sometimes I just flop. I can also be fairly inconsiderate too, I don't realize it before It happens and than afterwards I feel kind of bad, but oh well.

Battle Theme:

Etc:

Pokémon

Species: Piloswine

Nickname: Raider

Nickname Origin: Comes from Tusken Raiders riding Banthas in the Star Wars series, which I liked to compare to Swinub/Piloswine. Also, as Tusken has tusk in it I thought it was fairly clever... It also 'raided' my fathers boat so that's a little reasoning behind it as well.

Appearance:

History: Raider was the first Pokémon I actually caught by myself. Swinub aren't common in the Orre region ... usually. It just so happened that this particular one sneaked aboard my fathers ship, after some deliveries. Turns out the sailors couldn't find it and it was freezing the floors of the ship and injuries from slipping on ice were becoming all too common. I was young and mischievous so I stole one of my fathers Ultra Balls. Since I was smaller I could fit in and under smaller things, eventually I found it. I didn't have a Pokémon but I planned of catching it. I chucked the ball and since it was low-level it was fairly easy to catch. My dad let me keep it and it's been with me ever since.

Personality: This particular Piloswine is fairly laid back and he barely ever shows hatred or hostility, but when in battle he sure can be a formidable foe. Raider's a persistently sleepy Pokémon who's fairly clumsy outside of battle, which is part of his goofy nature and something that I love. He seems to take extra pride in his tusks.

Notable Moves: Take Down and Earthquake

Species: Magneton

Nickname: Tritan

Nickname Origin: Simple really, Tri, which means three because it's practically three Magnemite stuck together, plus Titan, Titan coming from the fact that the battle with him was extremely tough because Raider didn't known any Ground-type moves at the time.
*It was originally just Titan

Appearance:

History: Tritan was originally caught about 2 years ago when my father was taking a shipment of machine parts over to the Kanto region and so we stopped in Vermilion City. I ran to the area to the East, (Called a route in Kanto, weird right?) just to see the Pokémon that lived there. Turned out Magnemite's 'flocked' there from the Power Plant and I battled it with my Swinub, lots and lots of potions were used... In the end I caught it but it sure took a long, long time.

Personality: Tritan's actually fairly cold towards other Pokémon, this is probably due to the fact that it's often seen as emotionless and dumb, however that's very much not the truth. It's odd, though, because it seems to enjoy the presence of myself and other people rather than Pokémon. I'm still trying to 'crack' Tritan after all of these years.

Notable Moves: Thunder Wave, Magnet Bomb, and Tri Attack

Species: Heracross

Nickname: Stagger

Nickname Origin: Stagger comes from the fighting term to stagger when weak (because of how low-level he was when caught) and comes from stag beetle.

Appearance:

History:Stagger's actually my newest Pokémon, I found it in Agate Village a couple weeks ago when I was visiting my grandmother. A couple younger kids were with their grandparents and playing 'Tag'. Well, one of the kids ran in to a tree and hard. A few seconds afterwards, this Heracross fell out and started to attack the kids. Their grandparents sent out the only Pokémon they had with them but it failed to beat it, so I caught the opportunity (Which I actually considered nicknaming him, but it didn't roll off the tongue that well) and it didn't take long for Raider to weaken him. I caught him fairly easily, but he's also pretty low-level right now so I've been training him up.

Personality: Stagger's still warming up to me but he's actually fairly nice already. However he takes things very seriously, such as losing, and will stop at nothing to beat a challenge, like my Piloswine. He's sort of like me in that aspect, but he's not as laid-back.

Notable Moves: Aerial Ace, Brick Break, and Endure

I personally only RP straight characters because I'm garbage at roleplaying gay chars, nothing about being a homophobe or anything. I just don't do it well.

[Fabricant451]

I don't set sexuality in stone unless it's part of the character sheet. I just RP and see what happens, especially when it comes to romance or things of the sort.

[Draconilian]

given how much time you worked on it I'm approving your character without reading it Tagme, go and work on an IC post,

EDIT: and by that I mean I'm still going to read it of course but I want you to finish the first round of IC posts (introductions) So I can work on getting things moving in my second post.

[TAGM3]

Haha, yeah I understand! I'm starting to write one now.

[Fabricant451]

I'm working on an intro post as well

[TAGM3]

there is no particular official name, other than Orre Academy for Higher Learning of Pokemon =P

[Draconilian]

I PMed the two individuals who have yet to post for their characters, one of whom has no activity in the past two days so if he doesn't get back I will assume he is dead or will rejoin at a later date.

[TAGM3]

I got a pic of Clayton up, the skin kid of looks yellow-ish in it but oh well.

[Draconilian]

I have an IC post ready but won't be able to post it until later.

[TAGM3]

Did you hear anything from the two others?

I'm on my phone right now but I might go on later tonight, if I'm not too tired, and post. If you need it, I can make one more teacher if you want.

[j8cob]

Is this still open?

Sweet deal. I see that you guys have already gotten started so I'll get a character up right quick. Don't want to be too much of an inconvenience.

Either way, just so everyone else knows. I've had a rough few days with school work but I'm trying to make my post today or tomorrow

[j8cob]

Name: Christopher Menenza
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Appearance:

Region of Origin: Kalos
City of Origin: Shalour City
History: Christopher's father was an esteemed trainer in his days. As such, the boy grew up with the dream of becoming a trainer just like his father. His father, Jonathon Menenza, gave him his first Pokémon, his Golett. Though, this was actually years before Chris even began his journey as a trainer, and thus the two bonded quite well. His Golett had become more like a close friend than anything else. The beginning of his journey was a rocky one. For starters, his mother wanted him to get a good education and find a stable living. This was the main problem until one day, while Jonathon was out of town, a pack of wild Poochyena and a Mighteyena raided the Menenza home. Chris and his Golett saved the day, beating the pack back to the forest. His mother changed her mind about being a trainer.

Now on his journey, the young Chris fought several trainers on his way to his first Gym. His bond with Golett was strong, and their will was indomitable. However, the Gym proved to be a whole new kind of challenge. By a thin margin, Chris earned his first Gym badge, using only his Golett. This got him noticed by the esteemed Professor Sycamore, who challenged Chris himself. As his win streak so far dictated, Chris won the brief battle. In return, Sycamore gave him a Squirtle to raise. Now the party was up to two. Chris continued his journey, gaining three more badges and a Starly along the way. Both his Squirtle and his Starly evolved while fighting the fourth Gym Leader, and Chris felt more confident than ever. He felt proud of his no-loss record, and had bonded with his Pokémon quite well. After this, he returned home to find his mother had a Pokémon of her own: a Jigglypuff. Though the Jigglypuff's purpose was to serve as a sort of guard dog for the house, Chris decided she wouldn't be very good at it. Not yet, as he said.

Later that day, his father returned from the Unova region. Which was perfect timing for his mother as Chris took Jigglypuff to train it. Merely two days later, Chris's parents received a letter from the Orre Battle Academy inviting Chris to join. Elated that her son could follow his dream and get an education, she called Chris home before he could reach the next Gym and gave him the letter. With excitement in his heart and determination in his eyes, Chris decided to attend this school. Now, he was one step closer to his new dream: becoming a Champion.
Personality: Christopher is rather outgoing, and always prefers to be called "Chris." Despite being rather friendly, he has no real desire to make friends. After all, he just seems to make friends as he goes anyways so he doesn't really need to try. His Pokémon are always pleasant company and he tries to keep them out of their Pokeballs as often as possible. Though he loves battling, as it is certainly his favorite thing, he also enjoys just spending time with his Pokémon or even the company of any friends. Perhaps to little surprise, all the energy he puts into training and battling makes him a hungry kid. If he ever has anything to complain about, its that he is hungry. Despite his upbeat attitude and quick responses to challenges, he is surprisingly knowledgeable about Pokémon and uses that to his advantage. Not to say his overall intelligence is high, as he can actually be quite silly or moronic at times. But all in all, if whatever is happening can affect his goal to become a Champion, he will find his way through it and come out on the other side as one step closer.
Battle Theme:


Species: Golett
Nickname: N/A

Notable Moves: Shadow Punch, Dynamic Punch, Hammer Arm, Mega Punch

Species: Wartortle
Nickname: N/A
Appearance:
Personality: Quite the jolly fellow. He loves playing around, even more than battling. The only way to even make him stay serious for a stretch of time is to battle, and that's not a guarantee.
Notable Moves: Water Pulse, Withdraw, Aqua Tail, Rapid Spin

Species: Staravia
Nickname: N/A
Appearance:
Personality: Quite the fiery one. Headstrong and ever willing to battle and prove his strength. Though he is capable of being calm and collected, he only enjoys battling and he enjoys it very much.
Notable Moves: Double Team, Wing Attack, Aerial Ace, Whirlwind

Nickname: N/A

[TAGM3]

Lanee Beaulieu

Name: It's Lanee Beaulieu but to students it's, well, you'll see

Gender: Female

Age: Twenty Nine

Appearance: Looking for one, can't draw female's as good. A tall, 6' 3", tanned women that has straight black hair and blue eyes.

Region of Origin: Kalos

City of Origin: Dendemille Town

Subject: Pokémon Evolution and Biology

History: Okay, well I was born in Dendemille Town of Kalos and have personally had a great life. I was always interested in Pokémon like most of the world. I was always particularly intrigued by the evolution on such creatures, hence why I teach it now. It was the one mystery about the creatures that I had a REAL interest in. It's my personal reason for even being a trainer.
Like most trainers I tried to become the most powerful trainer ever and defeat all of the Gym Leaders of Kalos, on the side. The real meaning of my adventure was to learn about evolution, as I probably stated before. So, whilst collecting the eight Gym Badges I assisted Professor Sycamore and his research of Mega Evolution. It was a life changing experience, I would go to his lab on weekends and assist him. He was the person who shaped me who I am today, he's the man who taught myself, and most of his other assistants, all of the things I know. I studied under his tutelage for four years and received my 'doctorate' in Pokémon Evolution and Biology, the class I teach today. Without Professor Sycamore I most likely wouldn't have been able to teach at the Orre Academy.

Personality: I'm probably considered the most laid back teacher at the academy. It's actually kind of strange because of how strict my parents are, I guess Sycamore just rubbed off on me. The only thing that makes me mad, so to speak, is if anyone interrupts me while I'm talking/teaching. If you want to talk you can teach the class. Besides that I can't really describe my self. One thing to look forward to is a lack of homework in my course, I feel it's unnecessary and assignments or small exams will be enough to test your knowledge. Oh, and I honestly don't mind what students refer me as. Whether it's Ms. Bealieu or just Lanee I'm not strict in that manner.

Battle Theme:

Etc:

Pokémon

Species: Noivern
Nickname: Bruit
Appearance:
Personality: Bruit is my oldest Pokémon and I guess you could say, 'starter'? For being one of the brute giants known as a Dragon he's fairly calm and actually very kind and caring, but that developed over time. He's my best friend and I probably wouldn't trade him for the world.
Notable Moves: Boomburst, Hone Claws, Roost, and Air Cutter

Species: Politoed
Nickname: Kero
Appearance:
Personality: Kero is fairly kind and soft. She is a powerful Pokémon but is often mistaken for being weak. She hates being in the spot-light as she's fairly nervous when attention is stuck on her. She likes to confound her opponents using Hypnosis and when they wake up confusing them with Swagger.
Notable Moves: Swagger, Surf, Hypnosis

Species: Honchkrow
Nickname: Feutre
Appearance:
Personality: Feutre is probably the most stuck-up of all my Pokémon. He often grooms himself and tends to mock other peoples Pokémon which often gets myself and it in trouble. Feutre could be describe as regal but rude.
Notable Moves: Thief, Aerial Ace, Night Slash

Here's a teacher CS, sorry for lack of appearance again but it's pretty difficult to find a picture on the internet of a female anime teacher that isn't provocative or fits my description.

So am I golden then?

[WolfsRose]

Frankly, I like both of you already. On another note: I'm new to forum RP, so how do we get our characters to interact with each other?
