*Waves.*

Love it ~ though I'd have wanted to play a gijinka of one of my favourite pokemon, they're not legendary.

I'm inspired to claim Hoopa.

Hey, Thundercrash. Sorry to burst your bubble again. Avatars can only telepathically communicate with Pokemon they share a type with. Rebeca shouldn't be able to communicate with Mikhail, though she could in primal form.

The other characters are at a scheduled avatars' dinner right now. You don't have to go there, but that's where all the interesting things are happening right now.

Question for everyone: Where and how is your avatar holding its held item? Any physically possible answer is fine, I just want to know for future reference.

Thank you, @Zanavy. ^^

Name: Hope

Pokemon: Hoopa

Gender: Female

Age: 38

Hometown: Couriway Town, Kalos

Level: 26

Ability: Magician

Moves: Hyperspace Hole, Psybeam, Fling, Destiny Bond, Magic Coat, Light Screen.

Legendary powers: Hope's power over space is beyond any common psychic, giving her a mastery over teleportation. With minimal effort, she can transport items through hyperspace holes, allowing her to seize virtually any treasure. In her unbound form, she was able to summon other legendary pokemon through portals all over the world, however since her transformation in to a human, her control over the world's space has diminished. Hope is still capable of teleporting other lifeforms, however it requires concentration, time, and energy.

Held item: Lum Berry

Appearance:


Personality: Hope is a natural trickster, who enjoys pulling pranks on unsuspecting victims, and playing hide and seek with their belongings. Seeking her own amusement above anything else, she often follows interesting individuals, and observes their adventures. Hope can be very friendly, and is innocently simple-minded at times, yet extremely protective over her personal belongings and whoever she cares about. Above all things, Hope tries to come off as unpredictable, since she loves to surprise people.

Backstory: Hope was the perfect choice for a host to the legendary pokemon, Hoopa. Coming from a family of gypsies, Hope's mother was a renown fortune teller across Kalos, whose predictions were appraised for their accuracy. Never having a home of her own, Hope learned to make the entire world her domain, and when she was old enough to travel on her own, she said farewell to her family. Along with her trusted Pokemon, Sableye, Hope wandered from city to city challenging various Pokemon gyms, entering competitions, and selling various goods she 'found' during her travels.

During the plague era, Hope watched as the world deteriorated, but never caught the sickness herself. Specializing in ghost and psychic types, Hope's goal was to one day run her own gym, and most of her pokemon, being ghosts, oddly never caught the power plague. Eventually, Hope began tapping in to new found psychic powers, which at first she attributed to her mother's lineage, however with further practice, she found herself capable of powers her family could only dream of possessing. Her psychic prowess grew beyond her mother's, she was able to start reading the thoughts of people with weak mental barriers, or harness her mental energies in to realistic shapes and forms.

Hoopa's voice reigned in one day, informing Hope of the disastrous truth of their world, and the fate of all Pokemon. The mythic pokemon's own mind could not be relinquished, and thus pushed its own agenda on to Hope.

@ChimeraThe maximum total level of an avatar and its Pokemon is 60. You'll have to lower some levels or remove a Pokemon.

Psychic, Fling, Double Team, Reflect, Recover, Will-O-Wisp, Calm Mind, Dark Pulse, Dazzling Gleam, and Protect are all TM or egg moves. I'll let you keep two of your choice. Please change the others. I don't want anyone to be too powerful in the beginning. You might be able to find some of those TMs later in the RP.

Other than those things, Hope looks good. A teleporter could be very helpful to the group... or detrimental, depending on her choices. XD

@ThundercrashSorry. I have to be fair to the other people who have already made team choices around that rule.

@ZanavyWell, I'm not going to redo that entire thing. I like the relationship between those two characters too much. Is it too late to change my team? That will make things a lot easier, there isn't as much that I'll have to change.

@Zanavy Hoopa learns Psychic normally, and it was the primary move it'd spam in the anime and manga. ._.

How does it look now? I've lowered their levels, and edited some moves out.

@Chimera You are correct, however, Hoop doesn't learn Psychic until 75. The maximum level for your character or any individual Pokemon is 30.

@Thundercrash FINE, FINE. Be like that.

It's not like Hyperspace Hole isn't just as good, if not a mild fraction weaker.

But because it's the main move he uses canonically, I'mma check with @Zanavy first.
If a no - I'll swap it with confusion or psybeam. @n@ Psychic would have made telekinesis easier.

@ChimeraOk, I think I understand the misunderstanding now. I'm going off the games more than the anime/manga. Psychic is learned naturally, but at a much higher level than the character.

If you want ideas of which moves your Pokemon can know, you can look it up on Serebii or Bulbapedia.

Right now, Psychic, Double Team, Recover, Power Gem, Shadow Sneak, and Iron Head can only be known by means other than level-up. You may keep two of your choice. Please change the rest.

Shadow Sneak, Pursuit, Slash, and Automize cannot be learned by their respective Pokemon by any means at their levels. These must be changed.

@ThundercrashThe new Mikhail is good to go. Thank you for your patience through all this confusion.

@Chimera If it makes a difference, from what I know of the anime Confusion gets used for the exact same telekinetic purpose as Psychic.

@Zanavy There's always something that happens, isn't there. I'm just happy I didn't have to rewrite the whole thing. That's a real bummer.

As for your earlier comment regarding the dinner, there was something I had in mind. Rebeca is initially resistant to the idea of joining the tournament, because she's of the opinion that only attention-seekers and show-offs would sign up for it, and she has no interest in other people knowing what she is.

However, because her base body temperature is far higher than a normal human's is, I suspect that it would be very easy for Porygon-Z to identify her and accidentally "out" her as an avatar. This leads to Mihkail goading her into registering, and then she joins the party. Could this be done in some fashion?

For clarification, the average human body temperature is around 98.6 degrees F, give or take a degree. Rebeca's is almost 300 degrees. That's not a human, that's a corpse burnt beyond all recognition.

@Zanavy I wasn't aware the RP was more-or-less copy and pasting the mechanics of the video games directly in to a roleplay format. Personally I'd think it unimportant, or taking away from the feel of realism, but I'm an avid fan of the games, too, so it won't be hard to adjust.

Also, to be brutally honest... at the average rate of which a roleplay progresses, I can't see anyone reaching level 75 any time before 2017. (Without huge timeskips.)

So Psychic will be her TM ability, and Recover will be Sableye's egg move. That's all I get, eh?

The profile should be done.

@Chimera You can still have psychic powers in general through your legendary powers, but floating spoons is an order of magnitude easier than using those powers with enough strength, precision and reflexes to hit someone in combat. Remember that our avatars are about half as strong as our respective legendaries stat-wise - that's on par with a Level 30 starter, which you can judge loosely using the shows. We can have some nail-biting fights with each other, but we're not meant to be wrestling Rhydons yet. And that's fine, because we're not expected to yet.

@Thundercrash That was a very nice post - I look forwards to seeing more of those two :)

@Zanavy Seras wears her Shell Bell as a necklace, but she wouldn't be wearing ATM while dressed for the party. If I forget to note it specifically, then assume that she puts it back on when she changes into her normal outfit.
