[OOC] Pokémon Showdown! [Invite Only]

[Carlyle]

Roleplay Overview

Go, Swannas, go!

You are a forth-year student at the Mistralton Senior Pokémon Academy that is currently representing the Mistralton Swannas in the Unova Tournament. Despite the team's decent battling skill, for the last several years Mistralton has struggled to bring home any sort of victory. The team hasn't won any titles nor any trophies for some time, and is usually squashed out early on in the competition. Some have even theorized that Shauntal of the Elite Four might've cursed the team, much like the Curse of the Gogoat that had been placed upon another team.

No matter whether the curse is true or not, however, one thing is for certain; this year is your last chance to take home the trophy and represent Unova in the grand regionals against some of the other regions located throughout the world. Coming together, you and your teammates have pledged to make this year the year MSPA wins it all. One final hurrah before everyone graduates and goes on their own journeys.

Will Team Swanna be able to achieve the number one spot, or will their past failures cause everything to come crashing down in flames? Find out next time on Pokémon Showdown!

OOC Information

This roleplay is currently invite-only. If I've spoken to you about this roleplay, then feel free to make a character sheet. Apologies to anyone else that might be interested, I just feel that with more personal roleplays such as this writers that I've already established with works out better in the long end.

_{I have a couple directions I'm thinking about going with, we shall see what the cast ends up looking like.}

[Bartimaeus]

Pokémon isn't something one can just pass up - trust me, I've tried.
I too have quite a few ideas for such a setting, so let's see where it takes us!

[Carlyle]

@Yankee@Bartimaeus Is there any specific team or play style you two were thinking of? Lems wanted to name all her pokemon after food items, Sloth was thinking of pokemon that were themed after sleep, etc.

@Kuro

Hmmmn. Nothing solid as of this moment, but I've been entertaining a swimmer who names their Pokémon after bodies of water and stuffs. Still more to be explored.

[Yankee]

I usually come up with trainer before their theme team. I've got a handful of ideas to be fleshed out, but wanted to see what other people were planning with their trainers.

if you were curious

Currently deciding between two femme and two male ideas. An outgoing, outdoorsy girl, a posh hime-type, an ace trainer in the making guy, or a bit of a geek/loner guy that will use the tourney to get closer to his classmates before graduation. Probably going with quiet boy!

[mickilennial]

I will decide an archetype (since I was forced to play in this) when everyone else has.

[Carlyle]

Also, in case anyone wanted to know: While I said I was going to go for a more NPC-ish role in this RP, I was thinking of giving my character a sibling, so HMU if you want to do any shenanigans of that nature.

I'd be open to such a thing if you wanna message me on Discord. Depends on how your character's background functions.

Sirius

Sirius Elhart Leverant

<sub>18 | Male

Character Synopsis</sub>

The scion of a wealthy Castelian family, Sirius is every bit the picture of a privileged youth; proud, arrogant, and utterly used to getting his way. He is an aggressive, domineering boy, who possesses an almost obsessive drive to win at all costs—a trait which often puts him at odds with his classmates and their less than stellar track record as a battling team. The school's poor reputation is something of a personal peeve of his, an association he cannot stand to be pressed to his good name. He intends to use his last year in Mistralton to change this black stain on the academy, even if he has to do it all himself.

Character Synopsis Lianne Silver lived in Anville Town for most of her life. The sound of moving trains was constant as she sat looking out the window of her apartment bedroom wondering about adventure and what-could-be. Her father had ditched them when she was young, so it was just her and her mother. When she was twelve, Lianne’s mother happened upon a new job that would take them to Mistralton City. As such Lianne would say goodbye to her friends in the most Lianne way possible: swearing to compete with them in life. Her friends laughed and told her they’d see her when they were the best Pokemon trainers in all of Unova and see who came out on top then. Lianne smiled. She settled in and a year later she was accepted into the marquee Pokemon Academy where she competes to this day as a member of Team Swanna. Character Ties Kennedy Flats TBD Sirius Leverant TBD

Ken

17 | Male

_{Character Synopsis}

A single child whose family is one of those that grows and ships Mistralton's produce. Kennedy - or "Ken" as his parents call him - has worked the farm all his life, developing a knack for observing and caring for living things. This of course included Pokémon, as many species both tame and wild visited the gardens. Protecting the crop from the latter meant learning to battle, and he grew decent at it... not that any of his peers would know. Kennedy was a good student, but never the most social. Though not shy, he had always been quiet and deferential, and he usually hurried home after classes to spend time with his Pokémon instead because his previous attempts to make human friends failed more often than not. Now in his final year, it's Kennedy's last chance to get close to his classmates. The goal: obtain at least one (1) human friend. He joined the academy's battle team as a late addition hoping to do just that. Of course, battling wild Pokémon is a lot different than battling a trainer, and his lack of personal skills might interfere in the friendship aspect, but he's willing to give it his all.

@Yankee@TGM@Asura Y'all gucci. Discuss amongst yourselves if you want any connections with a certain character (be it with someone who has a finished sheet or not, up 2 u). They're basically relationships in a way, just something to fill in a few plot points or history with the other characters since y'all go to the same school and are part of the same team.

Sibyl

<sub>18 | Female

Character Synopsis</sub>

"Mistralton City born-and-raised" isn't exactly the most exciting accomplishment one could add to their life's resume.
That, however, doesn't stop Sibyl from making her own excitement. In the modestly-populated city of her home town, Sibyl creates her own fun through two methods; battling as skillfully and freely as possible - and being as explorative and active as she can. Her active nature is commonly expressed through several methods; rock-climbing, running, and most of all - swimming. Swimming is one of the activities that brings out Sibyl's most vibrant side, and she would be hard-pressed to pass up an opportunity to tread new waters.

This explorative, excited nature, however, is kept wrapped up - though not tightly - in a more sober visage. Sibyl holds herself to a more self-contained standard. She usually possesses a mature stature - but it is not hard that hard to break when one knows how. While she tries to retain an at-arms-reach nature, she is not as self-aware as one would think.

Amy

"We can do it this time! We just need to try a little bit harder!"

<sub>18 | Femme

Character Synopsis</sub>

Born in a high rise in Castelia City, Amelia—but please, call her Amy—has been a social butterfly since she reasonably could. When she was in middle school, someone tried to bully her by throwing her backpack into a trash can. Those two became the best of friends and he cried when Amy's mom got a new job out in Mistralton. She still talks to him regularly.

It was a bit of a culture shock, going from the glitz and glamor of Castelia to the more industrial Mistralton, but she adapted to it quite well, and early in her high school career at the Academy—already well on her way to becoming a skilled trainer, despite having no real gift for it, through pure persistence—she'd already amassed quite a crowd of people that she was happy to call friends. She's more than ready to cheer them on all the way to Regionals!

And hey, if that means she can take Rhubard, Dumpling, and Lemon to the top, that just makes it better!

Fiora

<sub>18 | Female

Character Synopsis</sub>

"As they say, ride bene chi ride ultimo--he who laughs last laughs the loudest."

A trainer who much prefers contests over battles, Fiora is the type of girl that lives for fabulousness. She lives a life of luxury and often revels in it. The only thing she loves more than her possessions is Pokémon. Her own are spoiled and pampered at every opportunity and she dedicates a majority of her free time to researching wild Pokémon. Little is known about Fiora's background, however, as she keeps her home life private. She has never mentioned any siblings and has only mentioned her father in passing, though the context has worried some people. There are a few rumors floating around about her family's illicit activities but there doesn't seem to be any solid proof aside from a mysterious wealth and the bodyguards that accompany her to and from the school. The few that do ask are usually met with the same response: "Two can keep a secret if one of them is dead."
