[OOC] Dark new world (a post-apocalyptic Pokémon story)

[KhKj]

Plot:
An apocalyptic event wiped out most of the world. The Pokémon that survived are either used to toxins (Grimer, Trubbish), have a history of outliving other species (Relicanth), are heavyweights with high stamina (Dragonite, Tyranitar, Rhyperion, Aggron, Snorlax), or were in space or in another dimension during the Apocalyps (Cleffa, Staryu, Lunatone, Solrock, Elgyem, Minior, Unknown). All ghost types also survived and scientists have sucesfully revived all fossil Pokémon aswell as artificially create some Pokémon (Voltorb, Porygon, Type:Null, Castform).

Due to new environments, some pokemon have changed their type:
▪ Snorlax: rock
▪ Relicanth: water-psychic
▪ Staryu: water-fairy
▪ Phantump: ghost-poison
▪ Dhelmise: ghost-poison
▪ Decidueye: ghost-poison
▪ Kabuto: steel
▪ Lileep: rock-poison

Active participants:
Khelfin + Porygon2, Alolan Grimer, Duskull
Aro + Tyrunt ('Red'), Honedge
Maya + Archen ('Zombie')
Sabrina + Dhelmise

NPC: Cooper and his Type:Null
NPC: Meredith Cloud (Goldenrod radio)
NPC: Petros

Rules:
☆ Respect the theme, the world nearly ended so your character should generally not be light-hearted (unless you can motivate why he/she is dealing with things in that way).
☆ You start out with max 1 Pokémon, unevolved, no legendary.
☆ Have fun!

My character:
He will have lost all his original Pokémon and also his human friends in the Apocalyptic event, putting him in a lonely mourning proces. He was given a Porygon by Cooper in order to spy on Amy, aswell as keeping the wild -possibly toxic- surviving Pokémon at bay. As far as Amy knows, my character has no ties with Cooper and is merely looking to get payed for finding fossils for her. They are hard to locate with the wild Pokémon being rather agressive towards any human.

I remember making a similar roleplay once a long time ago, definitely interested in joining this O w O

Need me a piece of this action:

My Character:

After being knocked unconscious shortly after the events that decimated the world, Aro woke up alone in an unfamiliar enviroment. Not being able to remember much from before waking up apart from a select few things, he set off into the wasteland to find someone who could piece things together. Eventually he was saved from the toxic environment by a Genesect Corp Admin who was on mission at the time. Over the past few months Aro has worked with Genesect as they try and help with his memory loss as payment for his help collecting fossils. Armed with a Tyrunt from the Admin who saved him, Aro has proven his lack of memory doesn’t hinder his ability to get results within his fossil work.

So what are the limits on this as far as trainers go?

[DankDutch]

What sort of limits are you talking about Nyxira?
As far as I’m aware all characters should start out with one Pokemon.
I’d try to keep away from being too overpowering when it comes to a character, it wouldn’t be as fun if your character was already developed into its prime before the RP started. Other than this I believe he’s pretty comfortable with any creative characters and very open minded. Hope this helps 😊

[Nyxira]

I was just wondering because the only Pokemon trainer concept I've done before is a actually a Rotom who is possessing a human because he wants to be a trainer.

Kind of weird, but the sort of weird I expect from Pokemon, really. In a good way.

@Nyxira

I think if you stick to the concept, you can't go wrong :)
Just jump in!

[Nyxira]

Righteous!

Maya

Begrudgingly began working for Genesect Corp. due to financial issues. The organization had a recently acquired archen that was in desperate need of discipline, and thought it convenient for Maya to be its trainer, much to her dismay. She´s slowly started warming up to it, much to her own surprise.

She harbors a wariness for pokemon, as most people have after the apocalypse. While many of her colleagues hunt for fossils out of a passion for them, Maya mostly just wants to rid the world of the mutated pokemon that infest it. She´s gotten used to surviving in the world, and is confident enough in her skills to work for the organization with no worries.

@HokumPocusJump right in :)

A water/ice pokemon could provide permanent drinking water but the only kinds alive are relicanth and staryu. Maybe castform when it rains. (Oh wait.. i forgot the fossils)
To prevent nuclear infection I suppose Cleffa could use aromatherapy. Steel types are immune to poison but that doesnt really help the trainer himself.
Voltorb could generate electricity for devices.
I dont think any Pokémon survived that can generate food.
For transportation i look at dragonite and aerodactyl.

Oh my Grimer could deal with the poison that Trubbish/Garbodor is spreading, seeing it eats garbage , thereby maybe neutralizing it?

Also, if we dont get any Voltorb helping us out, I could always write that Porygon can use electric moves. Not sufe if that is a good idea plotwise tho.
