[OOC] Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Tree Of The Cosmos

[Ngoc]

Edit 5: Nevermind, it's fine now.

Shhhh, baby, shhh...go home Ngoc...you're drunk...

Mmm semi-stressful week but I'll post soon

It's possible that we could implement both ideas. A growlithe could come in looking for her and inform her of a Charmeleon sighting (assuming she had asked the PD to keep a look out) and have her go off. Either the group would run into her and the Charmeleon in a dungeon at the start of that subplot some time in the future, or after returning from a dungeon the group finds her and the Charmeleon in the guild, in need of medical assistance. It would give her a reason to stay and someone to constantly care for her? Perhaps the reason for staying could even be using the resources of the library to clear up what happened to the Charmelon, creating a subplot. She could become a source of information XD
Options....Options....

[Ngoc]

Yeah, RPG crashed yesterday and I foolishly accepted the "resubmit form request" prompt. Aaaaand then the post duplicated itself 4 times.

I guess I'll wait until the Tina situation is taken care of and then have Russet go help out Lilith and introduce himself to her. I could just break the conversation between Tina (and I'll probably do that if nothing happens soon) but I'd rather wait to see if we what exactly we're going to do with her.

Edit: Also yeah, that does seem like a really good way to go about things without antagonizing anyone. Not sure if I like having her find the Charmeleon immediately is a good idea, seems a bit too easy, but it does give her a reason to stay around as an NPC.

[Ace of Jacks]

Right, well I would guess some time would have passed if she did leave on a tip regarding him. In that time away she'd probably have had her own off-scene adventure that lead to their reunion. We'd return from a dungeon or two and during that time she'd have found him?

[Ngoc]

You know, unless there's any objections I think I'm going to just take the reins and handle the Tina issue. She'll get tipped off by one of the Growlithe deputies that there was a Charmeleon seen near one of the dungeons that matched Zayn's description ("Sergeant Arcanine had been nice enough to post a notice about it, but she doubted anything would come of it."). Tina departs and we're finally free to leave for the forest.

Tomorrow, though. Too tired to make a post right now.

[Ace of Jacks]

Sounds good, feel free :3 We can deal with her if this thing hits off

I wish I were tired..it's not really good that I'm up at 3am merely out of boredom.

Go for it, bro. We really need to get going with this. I'm scared it's just going to grind to a halt. D8

...

[Stitches]

Hey, is there a spot available?

EDIT: I hope there's a spot available. I have plans for this one:

Hmm... that's a good question. We actually have had someone recently drop out so we could have your character come in.

Though, I'd like to know if it was okay with everyone else if we have a new arrival.

[Ngoc]

It'd leave us with an odd number of characters, but otherwise I'm fine with that.

[Stitches]

Well, I just finished making a character sheet in any case. I'm hoping to make a comedic character with some very big plot development, being funny sometimes and slightly unsettling other times. I gave him the highest level because, of course, the fun will start to happen when he evolves into Meowstic at level 25.

I don't understand the relevance or importance of levels in pokemon RPs if one doesn't plan to use complex tabletop systems to figure out how much experience we'll get per battle.

Character Sheet

Name: Espurr

Gender: ♂
Species: Espurr
Ability: "Own Tempo: The Pokémon cannot be Confused while having this ability."

Starting Level: 20
Starting Moveset:
㊚ Confusion: The target is hit by a weak telekinetic force. It may also leave the target confused.
㊚ Covet: The user endearingly approaches the target, then steals the target's held item.
㊚ Psybeam: The target is attacked with a peculiar ray. It may also cause confusion.
㊚ Fake Out: An attack that hits first and makes the target flinch. It only works the first turn the user is in battle.

Personality:

Espurr was, is, and forever will be a completely useless asset to any pokemon team ever.
For starters, he has seemingly no intelligence whatsoever, getting into all kinds of trouble or repeatedly doing idiotic things simply because he doesn't know anything. It works well coupled with his vacant expression and pathetic, waddling gait that he seems to adopt instead of running like a normal pokemon - most likely because it's very difficult to run on tiny, pointed feet.

Next he is Mute, or at least he doesn't say anything at all. Some have attributed this particular trait to the aforementioned idiocy, but perhaps the reason he doesn't speak is simply because he doesn't want to yet. The issue lies in communication - sometimes it's rather hard to figure out whether or not he quite understood you or was busy staring at some point just above your nose.

His final outstanding personality trait is Espurr's Unpredictability. It's difficult to make out what he'll do next - whether he'll hug you or hit you, or simply stop watching you and get bored. In a combat sense, this would be very, very useful if he wasn't weak and useless. However, one mustn't forget the genetic organ hidden under Espurr's ears that has the ability to cause an immense amount of damage if uncovered...perhaps it's best to avoid provoking him.

Brief History:
Espurr's history would be very easy to recount if he ever told it. Or spoke. At all. The real question to be asked is not "Where did Espurr come from", but more "What is he planning?", and "What will become of him?" - such things which will be revealed later on, once one has grown to tolerate or enjoy Espurr's presence.

[Ngoc]

It's more of a vague and abstract gauge of life/combat experience than anything else.

Though I'm not entirely sure how Espurr is supposed to come into play. If he can't talk, he can't really join the guild. He'll probably get carted off to either the jailhouse or the orphanage.

[XxFellsingxX]

Heh, Stitches, I love your character already. Though Ngoc does have a point.

Espurr violently waves the advertisement for the Adventurer's guild under Willow's nose, beaming at her.

Just because he cannot talk does not mean he is unable to get his point across. Declining access into the Adventuer's Guild on the basis that Espurr cannot -talk- would be foolish; if he can follow orders (which he can) and fight (which he can, just not very well) then he should be given a spot in the Guild.

Also, one would believe that an upstarting guild working shoulder-to-shoulder with the police force would be in dire need of new members anyways.

[Draexzhan]

Oh hey Stitches! It's been a while! Heh, Espurr's an interesting character. I'd be interested in seeing how this goes.

[Kiddo]

I always, always object to mute characters. They create pointless contention between RPers without giving much in return. It's especially bad if we're looking to create relationships between characters.

Also, don't we have enough bumbling idiots in this shindig? I mean, sure, bumbling idiots are fun to play and can be fun to watch, but how the heck are we ever supposed to do anything if none of our characters actually know anything?

And it looks like Rabbit has disappeared, so I'm kinda stuck where I am, as well P:
