[OOC] The Aftermath- Dark (as in genre, not pokemon type) Pokemon RP

[SephietheEvil]

It has been several years, a little over a decade since the famous exploits of teams, from Team Rocket to Team Flare, have ended. There are still criminals out there, but after so many repeated failures in history, none of them are very organized, or if they are, they aren't very big. In the progression of history, people have received a rude awakening. It seems now that slowly, through the years of peril, and the many different but still similar experiences with these events and criminal teams, Pokemon have gained new awareness of the world. With the long period of calm without these big teams, the knowledge and understanding of the Pokemon has come full circle. They all realize now how people treat them, how they might be friends, or slaves, or tools. Some choose to stand by their trainers no matter what the cost. Some decide to take action against the trainers, and humans altogether, for what they have done. Some still decide to stay neutral, aiding whoever provides the better deal for them. Where are your pokemon? In the "Age of Awareness", as it was dubbed by the Pokemon, almost all of them gained the ability to speak as humans do. Pokemon were split between "The Trained" (those who stand by trainers), "The Revolutioneers" (those who fight for Pokemon, and Pokemon alone), and "The Scattered" (those with no purpose to fight for, rogues and those who are neutral). The Revolutioneers have currently been on a steady rise. In attempt to get more attention, they have made their tactics more ruthless. Their leader, a powerful being unknown to many human eyes, will stop at nothing to achieve his goal, even if it means torturing his own soldiers to keep their support with him. Any hope now remains with the trainers, and those Pokemon who have still not turned to the darkness in their hearts. Those Pokemon can be found anywhere, and so can those trainers. Who knows? You might find some unlikely allies along the way. Regardless, only a group-led effort of some kind can bring peace between Pokemon and humans once more, and keep the powers of both from tearing the land asunder...

Rules~ 1. No overpowered characters. Everyone must be able to be taken down by something, no matter how skilled they may be 2. If you’re a human who uses pokemon, then you are limited to one legendary. MAYBE two, if I approve it. Don’t want anyone running around going “LOOK AT ME YOU GUYS I’M THE UBER TRAINER WITH ALL LEGENDARIES YOU’LL NEVER BEAT ME AKSAHDSFKJS” 2.5. Expanding on the legendaries thing, players can have 2-3 legendary Pokemon characters in total. I'll only ever bring in more myself for story-based purposes. 3. No meta-gaming to ruin anyone’s fun on purpose. I’m cool with chatting about plot and plans outside of the RP through OOC or PM, but don’t be mean about it. 4. Hold off on the vulgar language, please. I’ll tolerate things like “damn”, “bastard”, and “ass”, but no hard-core cusses if you can help it. (If you really need to, you can always just make up curses, for example: “GO FLUFF YOURSELF!”) These are your rules, but remain aware of the fact that I reserve the right to create more, should it be necessary. I hope it’s not, though. I just want everyone to have fun~!

Extra things to note~ - You can have as many characters as you can handle. I’m probably going have quite a lot, as I always do. It might be easier if you organize them into different posts, like one for human profiles, and one for Pokemon profiles. If you ever end up running out of room making a new post is fine too. Whatever works! - Peace and fairness are two things I try to practice, so I’d like it if you made the effort to do so as well. What I mean is, please don’t start fights between members (I mean IRL, not between RP characters. They can fight all they want. In fact, I anticipate that.). If there’s an issue that irritates you, take it up with that person through PM, or send me a PM to get me to help, or something along those lines, so that it doesn’t interfere with the roleplaying. *More notes may be added eventually, but this is all I can really think of now*

[TheGodofTacos]

wow such powers many pies

[TheGodofTacos]

Dam almost every ones Pokemon are of higher levels.

[Snarfulblast]

80's 100's the hell the leaders I'm okay with but. 80's for yours I thought 70's was ok, but 80's is way to high for my taste.

[TheGodofTacos]

I only have 2 Pokemon one 71 one 70 it sounded more like fair play

[Snarfulblast]

same but mine are 74 and 75. with more to come but still in the 70's.

[SephietheEvil]

Well, I'd be willing to go 80 or 78 for Euphoria, but Pipley has to be at least somewhere in the 90's, and Raven has to be 100. It wouldn't make sense if they weren't... Also, Electricia is a Pichu <XD A level 100 Pichu...isn't exactly the highest of threats.

[TheGodofTacos]

Well in the right hands...

[SephietheEvil]

Well in the right hands...

@TheGodofTacos

Electricia is also a Scattered, though. She's not gonna be the main one in the fights. (Plus, seriously, Darkclaw might EAT her if she tried >_>"""") I just changed the levels anyway. I lowered some.

[Snarfulblast]

I was ok just was surprised.

[TheGodofTacos]

same...I didn't think that so many Pokemon were of high levels like my 60s were going to be around the middle but im fine with the 100 and 90 as long as it makes sense.

[SephietheEvil]

It's cool <XD I honestly don't care all too much. But, just so you know, levels aren't really a huge factor in battles. I mean, basic principles apply, such as in a battle between a level 5 Pokemon and a level 50 Pokemon, the level 50 one's probably gonna win. Typing of the pokemon also effects battles as well. However, there are other ways for the weakest of pokemon to win also. The battle system for this will be more like it is in the anime, with no real "sets" of moves (that's why I didn't put a "moves" part in the pokemon profiles.). If a weaker pokemon can manage to trick the stronger one into a bad situation, or get their hands on a weapon, or something else of that kind, they could still win...

[TheGodofTacos]

I see levels more as wisdom or age thats why..

[SephietheEvil]

I see levels more as wisdom or age thats why..

@TheGodofTacos

Yeah, that's kind of what I had in mind :3 if you have a higher level, you've been around longer, and have been through more tough situations that others, most likely.

[Snarfulblast]

i agree with mike but add power to that.

[TheGodofTacos]

Cool beans Cool beans.

[TheGodofTacos]

Im Going to fish you ALL to death!
