Announcement: As both the interest check and full-size thread have been buried regularly by the speed at which the Casual sections update, I have decided to move Warriors of Sengun to the Advanced section of the forums. The new thread/s will be launched at a later date, to allow a similar role-play - which I co-GM - to take center stage on Pokémon-related threads.
Thank you all for expressing interest, even if it wasn't entirely acted upon in many cases.

(Raven's Note/Preface: While I have experience in role-playing on other forums, this is my first attempt at posting an interest check and role-play on the Guild site. To that end, I apologise in advance if my decisions are not quite what you might expect from a GM.)
The island region of Sengun is home to many unusual things. From its Ten Kingdoms come mighty Warriors, individuals who fight alongside their Pokémon in battle. From ancient ruins scattered across the land come stories: the history of the region. And from all corners come Pokémon that are not seen in other regions: species exclusive to Sengun, from the cute and fuzzy Voltaer, to the towering Guardient, to the flameborn Igniyashi or the martial Froscadet.
Whether you have travelled here from your homeland or you are a Sengun native, born and raised in one of the Ten Kingdoms, you are an aspiring Pokémon Trainer, here to take on the newest Pokémon League Challenge and rise to the rank of Champion. Our story begins in Regala: the capital Kingdom of Sengun, the heart of the land, home to both Professors Acer and Yang Ilex and the Pokémon League HQ. You have made your way to the Ilex Laboratories to begin your journey, taking the first steps on the road to glory...

As you may have guessed, Warriors of Sengun is a Pokémon role-play set in a new region, featuring several (read: just under a hundred) new Pokémon in addition to species that have been featured in other regions. I've taken great care in detailing as much as possible on both the Sengun region and the new species, and will provide more information on everything in the OOC tab when the thread is launched properly. (The thread is already prepared to be posted to Casual Role-Plays. I'm used to just putting up a thread as it is instead of needing to place an interest check first.)
The player-characters, including my own, will be beginner Pokémon Trainers seeking to begin their journey on Sengun's Pokémon League Challenge, which has only recently been launched. The new League offers a substantial cash reward to anyone who reaches the rank of Champion, after having bested the Gym Leaders and Elite Four. Of course, Sengun has more going on than just the Pokémon League...
Additional Notes:
- I wasn't quite sure of whether to post this in Casual or Advanced, since I'm not entirely certain on where my personal standards of writing fit into the way the Guild does things, so I've chosen to take a "High Casual" approach.
- Previous experience has taught me that the total number of participants should be no more than seven or eight, including myself and my co-GM who has already expressed interest in the story I plan to tell.
- Warriors of Sengun will follow Generation VI mechanics and movesets as of Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire.
