Can't wait until we end up in Pyrite with this group.

Noel's gonna need more than a few powernaps to survive the stress from that adventure.

Kai

by Notesz

Name: Malachai Major
Age: 18
Appearance: Dark hair, brown eyes, light skin.
Personality: Oft perceived as a bit of a troublemaker, Kai never intends to get in the way, he's just curious is all! So maybe a few shiny knickknacks ended up in his hands, and yeah, the growlithe setting fire to the school was probably mostly his fault, but he'd had good intentions! See, the thing about Kai is that he spent a lot of his time feeling lonely and left-out, so every oppurtunity to occupy himself, indulge some minor entertainment, or make a new friend? Well, how could he not at least try. He doesn't take scorn or rejection well, and he has a nasty vindictive streak that isn't easily tamed once riled.
History: Kai's parents, Melani and Andal, are relatively well-off, his father working high up in a tech company local to the Hoenn region, and his mother as a pokémon researcher. Neither spent a lot of time at home, leaving Kai to be taken care of by a disinterested teenage cousin until he was old enough to stay home alone. He didn't spend a lot of time at home, not that anyone noticed, instead exploring the beaches and caves around his home. It was in one such cave that he met the Sableye, though it wouldn't be until he finally left for his journey to the Orre region that one of his new friends became his first partner. Before then he got into all sorts of trouble, but never anything worth involving the police, but also nothing that won him any friends or sympathy.
Reason for traveling to Orre: Kai decided to pull a fast one on his parents; instead of exploring his home region of Hoenn he chose to explore his father’s place of birth on the other side of the world.
Starting Pokémon: Semsey (Sableye)
Notes:

Semmy

by GreatTaco

Pokémon: Sableye
Pokémon Nickname: Semsey
Pokémon Personality: Clever, but childishly playful, Semmy is much like his trainer in his ability to accidentally cause minor havoc everywhere he goes. On the other hand, Kai can be greedy and sharp where Semmy is needy and soft.
History of Pokémon: Semsey is young and curious, and of all Kai's human and pokémon acquaintances he was the only one who truly felt like a friend. The two occasionally played together, and when Semsey learned his favourite human was leaving he decided to join him, much to the new trainer’s joy.

My Hider

Name: Drazen

Age: 18

Appearance:
Personality: Drazen is pretty laid back overall when not battling with his Pokemon. He tends to try and enjoy life to the fullest. He does tend to get in trouble once in a while however due to his somewhat rebellious attitude towards certain teal haired authority figures in his home region of Johto.

History: Drazen grew up in Blackthorn city in Johto to a single mother. His father decided that the family would be better off without him shortly after finding out he was going to be a father. His mother did her best to provide a loving home for him as she did her best to cover her shifts at the Pokemart. Still, with a number of friends in Blackthorn helping out as best they could looking after the young man, Drazen was able to live a fairly normal life and grew up happy as could be. A few weekds before he was supposed to receive his first Pokemon he was taking a walk near the edge of Blackthorn City when he heard a distressed screeching sound coming from a nearby cavern. After grabbing a flashlight and running towards the cavern, he saw a small pale green Larvitar being roughly thrown out of the Cavern by a very angry Machoke. Despite being nearly scared speechless by the sight of the rampaging fighting type Pokemon, Drazen grabbed the injured Larvitar and bolted back towards Blackthorn City with the Machoke in hot pursuit. After several close calls and dodging various boulders and a Geodude being thrown at the two of them, they were met at the gates of Blackthorn by Clair, the Gym Leader who proceeded to release her Gyarados who sent the Machoke running with a Hyper Beam attack.

After confirming that the young man was alright and escorting Drazen to the Pokemon Center, Clair returned to the Gym and Drazen was left with the slowly recovering Larvitar. it took a few days for the ground type Pokemon to fully recover and it took three weeks for the two of them to form a bond with each other. When the time finally came for Drazen to choose his starter Pokemon, he instead chose to stick with the Larvitar he had rescued. At the age of fourteen, he finally left Blackthorn City and began traveling the various regions. His goal at first wasn't to beat the various Pokemon Champions or take down the Gym Leaders, but rather he wanted to sample the different foods. After a number of years of traveling and various encounters with different trainers and different Pokemon he ultimately decided to travel to the Orre Region and investigate the Orre Colosseum league.

Reason for traveling to Orre: investigate the Region and look into taking on the Orre Colosseum league

Starting Pokemon: Rubble

Notes:

Pokemon Character Sheet
Pokemon Nickname: Rubble
Pokemon Personality: Somewhat cautious but loyal to his trainer to a fault.

@Scribe of Thoth

We're full right now, but if anyone drops out I can send you a message inviting you to the RP :)

[Potemking]

@Chev

So by the looks of things, I'm assuming this RP is heavily going to revolve around the league you've put in place, correct?

[Marlowe]

Wait, so my character couldn't have a Tyrunt, and your character can have a Larvitar (which is basically a psuedolegend)? :(

[Chev]

@AmpharosBoy

At first yes. Later on we're going to have different issues to deal with.

@Ambra

I'm going to be totally honest, I didn't really consider Larvitar a psuedolegend. It's just a Pokemon I like.

If you feel I've abused my GM power here, I apologize for giving you that impression. If you really want to use a Tyrunt I won't stop you from doing so. The only restriction I have towards players at the moment is having characters start with Pokemon like Metagross or Gyarados.

I apologize if I offended you.

[Potemking]

At first yes. Later on we're going to have different issues to deal with.

@Chev

I'm just curious as Noel isn't exactly the type to pursue the league. I was more hopping into an Orre RP for the darker story lol

Seems like I'd be playing the sidelines a lot if this is the case. Maybe Scribe of Thoth would present a character better suited for a league focus than I have.

[Marlowe]

Yeah, I think I'm gonna pass. I'm honestly not that attached to my character and for me to enjoy an RP it has to click. Sorry.

@AmpharosBoy

Tbh I kinda wanted to get into something along the lines of that too, but I'm also interested in maybe trying the coordinator thing. If we could get a bit more expansion on what's available to us @Chev?

[Chev]

@Ceta de Cloyes

The options available to the player are to pretty much do whatever they wish. For instance, my character will most likely be attempting((And failing))to complete the Orre Colosseum League.

Other players can explore the Region, or sample the foods around the region. I'm even allowing players to create their own minor NPCs to interact with. It's going to be later on that the threat to Orre reveals itself but there will be hints of it in the gossip around the towns. It's up to you guys. If anyone has any questions, PM Me.

[Ceta de Cloyes]

Soooo what’s happening? We got a timeline? We waiting on someone?

[Chev]

Sorry, I'm still working on the opening post. Having a slight issue with my employer. I will do my best to have the opening post up tomorrow.

[Potemking]

I'm gonna have to back out of this, sorry.

Personal stuffs, unfortunately enough.

[Chev]

@AmpharosBoy

No problem. It you find time you are always welcome to return at any time

[Chev]

Opening post is now up.

If anyone has any questions please contact me via PM

[Chev]

Slightly off topic, things are getting crazy here in Wisconsin, not saying things aren't crazy everywhere else at the moment but if anyone is still interested in this, replies from me may be a bit slow from this point on.

Stay safe everyone
