[OOC] Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Void

[Lugia]

I'm guessing you're busy, but just in case you just forgot, @lavulman, it's your turn.

[Kamen Evie]

Ah, yeah, work's been pretty crazy recently. But I should have time to post tonight.

[Lugia]

Alright, nice to know... sorry if I've been annoying.

[Kamen Evie]

Eh, I shouldn't have forgotten to respond the first time you pinged me.

[Lugia]

By the way, I dug up Gavin's old app from about three years ago. I'll show it if he wants me to, lol.

[Gavin]

Lol, sure! I still have it in a PM to myself from years ago! I sometimes go back and read my old stuff, but I always cringe too much to keep reading. (Not that I still don't cringe at my current writing - I just hope that it's slowly improving!)

Gavin's 'Gavin' the Shinx

Name: Gavin
Species: Shinx
Gender: Male
Level: 8
Moves:
Leer
Tackle
Ice Fang
Bio: Gavin was born in Birchwood Forest, and lived there for almost his entire childhood. Even though he was one of the only Shinx in that area, he wasn't teased about it, and had a very smooth life. Having it easy isn't always good, though. Gavin was sheltered from virtually all the world's problems, from knowing about the anger between the guilds, to something as small as a berry shortage. Needless to say it shocked him when something bad happened in his seemingly perfect world.

Nobody knows exactly how it started, but a rumor has been going around that a group of Bunnelby were attacking a Chimchar that wandered into their territory. The Chimchar fought back with a flamethrower, which completely missed the Bunnelby, and instead hit a tree. Using a fire attack in a dense forest probably wasn't a good idea. Within minutes, almost a quarter of Birchwood Forest had caught fire - the part of the forest that Gavin lived in. It quickly became big enough to see even from Treasure Town, which is exactly what happened. Residents of Treasure Town noticed what was happening in Birchwood Forest and word quickly spread of their emergency. Soon there were groups of water Pokemon making their way over there to help extinguish the flames.

Back in the center of the blaze, the entire place was in chaos. Pokemon were running from the fire as trees were burning and toppling to the ground. Gavin was unsure of what to do, because as far as he knew, nothing remotely like this had ever happened. His house was too far away, so the possibility of him hiding in it wasn't an option. Although his house is made of wood, so it wouldn't have been a good idea anyway. Much to Gavin's relief, he spotted his parents running over to him. They all met up and tried to find an exit to the forest that didn't require walking through the flames. There only seemed to be one way out of this area, so they made the decision that would change Gavin's life forever, they followed the path. Not long after, they heard a loud rumbling sound coming from behind them. A large herd of Skidoo had been faced with the same problem, and were currently barreling down the path at unstoppable speeds. Gavin barely managed to avoid them, however his parents weren't as lucky. The only thing that the Skidoo seemed to be thinking about was escaping the fire. Gavin's parents were caught in the stampede and carried off, which would be rather comical if not for the situation.

By the time the water Pokemon extinguished the flames, most of that area of the forest had already burned to the ground. Gavin, having no where else to go, returned to his home to see what was left of it. Like him, many other Pokemon were slowly returning as well only to find that the forest was inhospitable and almost beyond repair. There was nothing left of Gavin's house except a pile of ashes and a blue scarf that had somehow avoided the flames. That item was the only thing left of Gavin's life in Birchwood Forest.

Ten years have passed since the fire. Gavin had left Birchwood Forest in hopes of finding a new place to call home, and his efforts were rewarded with the discovery of Scale City. Using the small amount of money that he had found in dungeons, Gavin bought a house in the city. Even though he got a job and had enough money, his life quickly began to feel empty, so Gavin decided to join the guild. To his surprise, literally every single Pokemon in the Scale City guild was Dragon type. Despite that, Denise, the guild master, wasn't opposed to Gavin joining, and was actually confused as to why everyone there was Dragon type. Gavin's first mission was to find a lost Oran Berry in Secret Cave. not the most challenging mission, but he was just a beginner at this. The last thing that Gavin seems to remember is getting ambushed by a Dweeble...

Appearance: Gavin looks like a normal Shinx, except he wears the blue scarf that he found in the remains of his house.
Differences: No differences, except that he knows Ice Fang. (Egg move.)

And here it is, lol.

It's just as I remember! That was the day I realized that burning down a good chunk of the rp's world (in an application, no less!) isn't a good idea. I think I was just happy to have gotten more than two paragraphs written down for it.

I've actually been meaning to say this, but thanks for being patient with me back then. Especially on MCF when I was first joining - I had no idea what I was doing when trying to make an app or write a post longer than two sentences. That said, I still have a lot of room to improve, so if anyone has any writing/character building/general rp advice for me, I'd be happy to hear it.

[Card Captor]

Wasn't sure what to do with Kamina, so I decided to make a joke out of that.

@Gavin

NO problem, man, oh, and just to let you know, you're doing great, right now.

@Lugia

Well that's good to know, thanks!

[Lugia]

So, since I've posted a while ago...
@Ridlins, @Gavin, @Kabling, and @Lavulman can all post here.

[Lugia]

@lavulman, it's still your turn... though, if you'd like to stop RPing, or if you'd like to skip this turn, please tell me.

[Kamen Evie]

Sorry, stuff's been getting crazy again. My schedule should be clearing in a couple of weeks but either way it's probably best if you skip over me this round if I don't post by Tuesday.

[Lugia]

Alright then, good luck Lavul.

[Gavin]

I promise, once I find my favorite tense and perspective to write in I'll stop changing it.

[Lugia]

I'd post, but Kabling's on break from his school, so I thought I'd wait for him.

[Lugia]

So, yeah, @Kabling, whenever you think you can post...

[KaBling]

aaaaaa

oh dear it's been a while

[KaBling]

if i wake up early enough maybe i could actually find the time and energy to post, instead of seeing the sun set within hours
