[OOC] Pokemon: Darkness in the Aura Region

[Legion-114]

Story:

Welcome to the Aura Region, fortress of the Aura Guardians during the Old Times and the last bastion of hope during the Rise of the Chaos Poke'mon. However 1329 years on and all but a handful of Aura Guardians remain in existence - scattered.
You, young and inexperienced trainers have recently arrived in the Aura Region for one sole purpose. The 1330th Aura Region Championships which are due to start in two mouths time.
However, a evil force lingers in the background, the Aura Crystals (in which the natural flowing aura energy condenses to form crystals) are slowing being tainted to create a much sinister form known as Quantum Crystals. Is this a mere phenomenon that will pass in time, or is it a prologue to a much darker plan?

Rules:

1. Remember that you are a new trainer, you will not have access to extremely rare Poke'mon (there will be chances for that later), on top of that your Poke'mon will not be S-Class fighters.
2. No Power Gaming
3. No extreme profanity of sexual themes.
4. If battles can not be resolved between players of a ‘Play to Lose’ basis the GM will auto resolve it.

POKEMON
Name: Poppy Groves
Age: 17
Gender:Female
Appearance:
Back-story:
Poppy's father grew up with his father who was obsessed with ghost poke'mon. Her grandfather was consumed with the idea that ghost poke'mon were once humans, and that maybe all poke'mon once were as well. Her father became a trainer to get away from me, but when he had a daughter he knew he couldn't take her everywhere. SO he left her with her grandfather and came back years later just to realize...she was just like him. Now a days, Poppy travels in hopes of finding out more about them by becoming a great ghost poke'mon trainer!
Poke'mon (Max 6):
1.Misdreavus- Was given to her by her grandfather after he saw them playing together, They are now best friends.

2.Banette- Became friends after poppy found her wandering the street and said she was super cute!

3.Litwick- her newest little friend!

[Roecoon]

[Zanavy]

Hi :) I'm taking an interest in this rp. I might not have a complete character write-up until tomorrow. Just want you to know you can tentatively include me in the head count :)

[Zanavy]

Quick question. Is Sir Alexander supposed to be/planned to be the main character and undisputed hero of this RP? I won't be happy about myself and others spending time contributing to this RP just so the GM's character will inherently get the glory. If he is, then that's fine, I just might not personally join. If he's not, then please pardon my rudeness, I would like to join, and I'll give Alexander a free shot at Chance sometime. ^_^'

@Zanavy

He just there to get things into motion and set players down their respectful paths and reveal the main plot and there to acts a go to guide later on. After the mid point I will primarily be using the yet unknown antagonist.

[Zanavy]

Ok, so more like a Dr. X figure, got it. I'm a noob to this site, but I've been around the forum RP block, and I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be wasting time here. And you can still have that free shot if you want ^_^

[Zanavy]

Woops, just realized I put this in the wrong section.

Name: Chance Bonner
Age: 17
Gender: male
Appearance: Short blonde hair, spiked up in the front. Light blue eyes. Has overall charming features, except for somewhat large ears... oh well, win some, lose some. Usually wears his signature colors, red and black, along with his signature cocky smile. I might try to find a picture later.
Personality: Chance's name is prophetic. Since he was a small child, Chance has always been restless and reckless. He will rarely turn down a bet or dare, especially if he has the chance to impress people. He has never had the patience for school. But what he lacks in book learning, he makes up for in street smarts and charisma... usually. Chance gets bored if he's stuck doing one thing for long, and he tends to jump from one crazy idea to the next. Chance usually feels and acts very confident and doesn't let the occasional loss get him down. However, he becomes fearful when he knows dangerous cards are stacked against him, and he tends to run from big trouble rather than face the consequences of his actions head-on.
Backstory: Chance grew up in the Kanto region, a failure in school and compulsive gambler by the age of twelve. His parents thought giving him a Pokemon to raise might finally make him grow more responsible. Instead, it made him feel even more confident and take greater risks. He began his journey to become the champion of Kanto. However, he soon fell on the wrong side of a bet with the wrong people... and now that it's no longer safe for him to live in Kanto, he figured he might as well try heading to Aura to try out their league.

Poke'mon (Max 6):
Name: Lucy
Species: Munchlax
Gender: female
Ability: Thick Fat
Level: 15? Is that fair to start?
Moves: Metronome, Amnesia, Recycle, Last Resort
Nature: Sassy
Personality: First and foremost a glutton. While not as ambitious as her trainer, she understands that prize money is needed to buy food, and she will battle fearlessly for her prize. Out of combat, Lucy is social and friendly, if sassy at times. Insults about her appearance have no effect on her; she's proud of her curves.
Backstory: About four months ago, the Bonner family pet Meowth had an egg which was given to Chance as his starter Pokemon. However, Chance thought Meowth was boring, so he quickly traded it for a green egg without knowing its species. He was overjoyed when it hatched into a Pokemon with Metronome- a gambler like him! The two have had some conflicts, mostly over food and money, but overall they became fast friends who like to do crazy things together.
NOTE: The results of Metronome will be determined by some form of random Metronome move generator.

Name: Ace
Species: Pidgey
Gender: male
Ability: Keen Eye
Level: 13 (2 lower than Lucy)
Moves: Tackle, Sand Attack, Gust, Quick Attack
Nature: Serious
Personality: Ace is the practical pessimist of the group. Whether in or out of battle, he is a rather serious and quiet Pokemon. He thinks Chance is reckless, and he is not afraid to peck his trainer on the head to warn him when he is about to try something particularly stupid.
Backstory: Chance caught Ace because he knew he would someday need a Pokemon who can learn Fly to provide quick and easy transportation. Ace obeys him out of a begrudging sense of duty.

I know, I included more than I needed to. Much of it is just so I can remember things. ^_^'

@Zanavy

Not to worry, anyway accepted.
People are free to get going now. The initial post is up.

Hello there, this RP has sparked some interest but before I write up a CS, I was just wondering how injures to Pokemon would be dealt with here? As in, would a Poke Centre heal a Pokemon to full health (as in the games) regardless of injures or would it be more of a 'hospital for Pokemon' where there's a possibility of disability, birth defects, missing limbs, death, etc. Just wondering since it doesn't particularly go into detail within the series. Thanks. :3

@Ginger Kollie

While that's a bit morbid think of it as the early anime series where if they are seriously injured they will need proper treatment and not just plugged into a MediCentre. Which funny enough has something to do with the main plot anyway.

[Chev]

Gotta go and help out a family member today. I'll post when I get back :)

[Roecoon]

for general information@Zanavy
my misdreavous is level 20 (grandpa had her first.)
banette (havent decided yet since shuppet doesn't turn into a banette until level 37

Litwick is a level 10

alright who should go first?

[Zanavy]

Well, considering you haven't responded yet, I don't know if there's really going to be a battle or not. Once a battle officially starts, I imagine the faster Pokemon should go first, which depends on which ones we pick.
