[OOC] Legends Among Us (Pokemon RP) (closed)

[Zanavy]

Oh hey something happened in the Characters tab WHAAAAAAAT

[Leos Klien]

@ZanavyThe plot thickens >.>

[Thundercrash]

The idea here looks interesting. Question: suppose I make a character based on Groudon. Can I integrate his Primal form? And the moves that I give him ones that Groudon can legitimately learn in game, or can I choose other moves?

@Thundercrash

The max starting level for any Legendary here is 30, and If I am correct Groudon doesn't know any of his Primal moves till later on.
That being said, Groudon/Kyogre require their orbs to 'evolve' or rather primal reversion, and these are items you wouldn't start out in this roleplay with, but can be gained at a later date.
So from my understanding that's a no to start with; they could be acquired later on though.

[Zanavy]

Yup, Leos pretty much covered it. Also, you must choose moves that Groudon can legitimately learn. I've generally allowed one powerful TM move or perhaps two less powerful ones total for the character and its Pokemon.

Welcome :)

[Ardent Dawn]

@Thundercrash Welcome to the fun! ^_^

Just to make sure that you're aware, there's a group document that we've been collaboratively editing for the upcoming dinner, the idea being that it's easier for our characters to all chart with each other together if we're all writing a single post that has a mixture of dialogue in it. We've also been making notes of any conversation ideas that we'd like to use around dinner and occasionally live-chatting there if several people are around at once :)

[Thebastardbrasta]

@Thundercrash Another thing is that you'll probably have to fite me IC.

[Thundercrash]

Name: Rebeca Firmen

Pokemon: Groudon

Gender: Female

Age: 19

Hometown: Unknown

Level: 29

Ability: Drought/Desolate Land

Moves: Dragon Claw, Hone Claws, Shadow Claw, Lava Plume, Earth Power, Thunder Punch

Legendary powers: Rebeca’s most notable power is that her core body temperature is around three times that of a normal human, and is capable of increasing to the point of causing environmental damage. At higher temperatures she smells a little like sulphur. She is both very strong and durable, being able to easily lift and move objects several times her own size. She is largely immune to extreme temperatures (she once climbed Mt. Silver completely naked just for the fun of it, and she looks at a pool of lava the same way most people look at hot springs or a hot tub. In between those extremes, she typically doesn’t feel the difference). She is somewhat skilled at manipulating rocks, earth, and fire, though her use of it tends to be rather crude in its results. Do not make any bad breath or body odor jokes towards her, or she may demonstrate just how bad it can actually be.

Held item: Heat Rock

Appearance: Rebeca stands roughly six feet tall, with very dark brown hair (turns black when wet) that extends down to her shoulderblades. Her hair is rather messy as she rarely (if ever) takes care of it besides bathing. Her body is very muscular due to all the hiking and climbing she does. For clothing, she prefers comfort over all else, generally keeping to t-shirts, loose pants and boots suitable to her life lifestyle. She does not own underwear of any kind, because she only keeps the clothes in case she encounters other people in her wandering.
She shares the same markings across her body as Primal Groudon, though hers are black and she passes them off as tattoos. Her eyes are also the same amber colour. Her nails are quite large and pointed, which she conceals with gloves, and her teeth are slightly more pointed than a normal human's. She also has several scars on her legs, arms, torso, and face.
She carries a backpack in which she keeps her supplies and several changes of clothes, mostly in case she accidentally incinerates the ones she’s wearing.

In Primal Form, Rebeca becomes much closer in form to Groudon. Her markings and scars glow with molten heat, her nails transform into claws that have completely overtaken her fingertips and toes, her teeth become completely carnivorous, and she grows to half again her normal size. Her eyes take on the same molten appearance as her markings, and extreme waves of heat radiate off her body, melting or incinerating most nearby objects. Her skin becomes closer to the armoured plates that Groudon possesses. For the love of all that is alive and good, do not put her in this state.

Personality: Rebeca is a person torn between desiring the company of others, and wishing the rest of the world would just leave her alone. She much prefers the company of Pokemon to humans, and spends most of her time hiking through the wilderness, living off the land and exploring remote locations. Only rarely does she rejoin human civilization, and so she is very self-sufficient. Because of her self-imposed isolation, she has a rather abrupt attitude that can come across as rude. The finer points of conversation are lost on her, and she tends to take things at face value. Even so, she has a deep desire for someone to share her time with, someone who would keep her warm at night as opposed to the other way around. For all her toughness, Aida is actually somewhat shy and naïve on human behavior.
In regards to being the avatar of Groudon, Rebeca is mostly ambivalent. She tends to use her powers for mundane purposes (there are quite a few cliffs and mountains that now have conveniently placed hand and foot holds), and she prefers not to bring attention to herself when in human company. However, some of her most destructive capabilities are subconsciously controlled, and her greatest fear is accidentally harming someone. She has cheerfully resigned herself to the fact that she makes for a very convenient space heater, and thinks nothing of sleeping in a pile with others.
On the rare occasion that Rebeca engages in battle herself (she much prefers to just scare potential enemies away), she is very much a physical brawler, getting up close to her opponents and using her considerable size and strength to overwhelm them. She strikes first and strikes hard, aiming to end the battle quickly before she risks collateral damage. Towards this end, she has learned and adopted moves that emphasize her physicality.

Backstory: secret secrets.

Innocent secrets: Rebeca enjoys spicy food and sour candies, the former because it gives her the illusion of “heat”, and the latter because she just does. She has zero interest in men, and is demisexual.

Pokemon
Rebeca does not keep any Pokeballs with her, so her Pokemon can technically be considered “wild” and can be captured by other trainers. This is extremely inadvisable, as Rebeca considers her Pokemon to be her true family and will violently protect them. Their lives are more valuable to her than anyone else’s.

Nickname: Mira

Species: Kabuto

Gender: female

Level: 6

Ability: Swift Swim

Moves: Scratch, Harden, Absorb

Held item: none

Maya is essentially Rebeca’s baby. Where and how she came across the infant Kabuto is a secret she will not divulge to anyone, nor are many people even aware of her presence. Maya spends the bulk of her time clinging to Rebeca’s chest beneath her shirt and does not battle. The adoration between them is mutual.

Nickname: Mihkail

Species: Houndour

Level: 22

Ability: Flash Fire

Moves: Odor Sleuth, Bite, Roar, Flame Charge, Return

Held Item: none

Mihkail and Rebeca met each other very early in her travels, and the two for all intents and purposes have become brother and sister. They look after each other while roaming the wilderness, protect each other, hunt together, fight together, sleep together, and are never separated. Greatly concerned over the growing loneliness that the avatar experiences, Mihkail seeks a suitable human companion for Rebeca and is very critical of the intentions of others.

(hope this works)

[Leos Klien]

@ThundercrashIm sorry.
A demisexual?

[Thebastardbrasta]

@ThundercrashIm sorry.
A demisexual?

@Leos Klien

She's not into casual sex.

[Thundercrash]

<Snipped quote by Leos Klien>

She's not into casual sex.

@Thebastardbrasta

Close, but not quite. A demisexual is someone for whom sexual attraction is dependent on emotional attraction. If she can't say that she likes you and thinks you're a good person, she'll never find you attractive.

[Leos Klien]

@ThundercrashI see.
Whilst I personally would pin this down to Sexual preference, this is not the place to debate Sexuality, and because I don't look into that area of the human psyche I may be ignorant of some things.
Ahem.
Overall your profile is really good ^.^
Just make sure you receive clearence with the GM about your bio.

[Ardent Dawn]

Fellow demi chiming in. I agree with @Leos Klien that it's not worth bogging down the OOC with sexual debate - Google's there for the curious and it's not worth getting stressed over.

With that said, it's going to be entertaining watching Wells and Rebecca butting heads with each other :P

Out of interest, what would motivate Rebecca to join in with the festival?

[Thundercrash]

She's not much interested in drawing attention to herself as an avatar. Mostly she'll just be looking for work or trying to enjoy being around other people for once.

[Leos Klien]

Seems like Gemriane could get on well with Rebeca, maybe anyway; either way she will be an interesting edition.

[Zanavy]

@ThunderCrashDragon Claw, Hone Claws, Shadow Claw, Thunder Punch, Flame Charge, and Return are all only learned by TM. I'll let you keep one of your choice. Please change the others. You may be able to find more TMs during the RP.

Primal Form can only be activated by the Red Orb. Like the TMs, you can try to look for it later, but I don't want anyone to be too powerful at the beginning. You can keep your Primal Form description for future reference, but for now you can't use it.

I also sent you a PM about your backstory.

[Thundercrash]

@ThunderCrashYou can keep your Primal Form description for future reference, but for now you can't use it.

@Zanavy

That was basically the only reason I included it, just in case a situation came up where it was needed, so no issues there.

Dragon Claw, Hone Claws, Shadow Claw, Thunder Punch, Flame Charge, and Return are all only learned by TM. I'll let you keep one of your choice. Please change the others. You may be able to find more TMs during the RP.

@Zanavy

Hrrm. Thunderpunch is a Tutor Move, so I would argue that she could have learned it by mimicking wild Pokemon during her travels. However, if you insist on that one, I shall relent. The others I understand.

I also sent you a PM about your backstory.

@Zanavy

Yeah, working on that now.

[Zanavy]

Eh, you can keep the Thunder Punch if you want, as long as the TM you choose isn't particularly powerful.

[Leos Klien]

@ZanavyGermiane has given his thoughts about this CEO, have a look :P

[Zanavy]

@ThundercrashRebeca is approved. Please make the changes we discussed before posting your character sheet in the Characters tab.
