Paleo Town is a place of new beginnings and fresh starts.
Located deep within the rural boonies of the Cretoria region, this small, rustic village owes much of its success to Professor Hammond's laboratory. It is here where many a starting tamer have visited following their sixteenth birthday to receive one of four starter dinosaurs: Aeros (Air), Dimetro (Fire), Toba (Water) or Tsintao (Earth). With one of these dinosaurs by their side, these tamers are allowed the right to battle the countless gyms across Pangea, and should they prove their skill as a tamer, register for one of many league tournaments hosted throughout the world.
Incidentally, after sixteen long and perhaps boring years of being a village denizen, it is now time for you to claim a dinosaur of your very own. To do so, however, you must take part in the Saurian Trials; an event held by Professor Hammond and his staff during the village's annual festival to ensure that a beginning tamer is truly ready to explore the world.
Although it'll certainly be an arduous task to accomplish, through the power of friendship you and your motely group of friends will surely ace this test and prove your worth to everyone—right?

To anyone reading this, New Beginnings: Paleo Town Heroes is a roleplay that I've been stewing on in my drafts for some time now and never got around to trying it out. As you can tell, it takes elements from various franchises but most notably and in particular Pokemon and Fossil Fighters. In other words, if you're interested, you should expect a rather niche kind of roleplay when it comes to New Beginnings.
Though I will be taking the role of one of the group members, I will be acting more as a dungeon master in most contexts, guiding the group throughout their journeys. This is also why I will be limiting the amount of lore available to the players, as I want people to be able to fall into the role of "being a rural nobody from nowhereville". Today marks the first time your character will have truly left the village, which means that they'll have little knowledge of the world and how it works save for the occasional hearsay from travelers passing through Paleo Town.
If you are willing to give the idea a try, I do wish to ask a few things from you. Firstly, please—and I mean please—stick around for the long haul. This is supposed to be a small group childhood friends type of deal, and it'd be awkward if one of them wound up dropping out early on. Secondly, please keep your posts to a couple paragraphs per a weekly reply as this roleplay will require at the bare minimum a Casual writing ability. By absolutely no means should I be receiving short and/or one-liner responses as a post. If you're looking for that kind of writing, I suggest you check out Free instead.
Anyway, that aside, if I've got your interest, then let me know and any questions or comments you might have. If not, then I wish you a happy and long day full of roleplay in the future.
