@ZanavyYeah she's not interested anymore, or rather she has too much on her hands to participate in this roleplay.

So uhhh... has the topic of friend codes came up yet?

I'm asking cause, well... I'm a shiny hunter, and I'm trying to collect every shiny ghost pokemon.

[virlex25]

Sorry just saw the join status.

[Dawnscroll]

Already sent a PM to the GM, and received a reply back regarding the join status. Still want to officially toss my hat into the ring for this RP. In the event of players lagging behind too much, or someone dropping out, I would love to join.

You can find samples of my post quality Here in Starless and Here in Blood Runs over Westeros.

Once again... would LOVE to be apart of this group!

[Eklispe]

Lol ninjaed. Twice in two days. Though on the note of players dropping out or lagging behind EclipseDragon seems to have vanished from the interwebs...

[Leos Klien]

@ChimeraWell sir, you can plainly see my Friend code on every post I make :P
Only have one shiny ghost Pokemon unfortunately, which is an event Gengar.

[Chimera]

If someone quit... we should have the current two people interested in joining have a Pokemon battle to determine if they may enter or not.

Muahahaha.

@Leos Klien Oh, yeah I have that same Gengar. ^^; Sludge wave, right?

I didn't notice cause I have signatures turned off - they bug me. Suppose if you want to have a battle, I'd be down to add you.

[Zanavy]

I'll give people three weeks to post before declaring them gone. EclipseDragon last posted about a week ago.

On that note, please let us know if you'll be unable to post for a while. So far, most of us seem to keep each other well informed. But it's still a point worth mentioning.

[Ardent Dawn]

On a similar note, what sort of IC conversations are some of the newer players interested in having over the dinner table? ^_^

We brainstormed some conversation ideas last week, but I'm definitely interested in finding out more about everyone's characters over dinner, so it'd be great to find out what people would enjoy exploring about their characters :)

[Eklispe]

Does anyone else's food taste like it was dipped in the black sea? XD

And he was so looking forward to it.

[Thundercrash]

There is one thing I'd like to see regarding Rebeca. Since she doesn't know much of anything regarding avatars, someone is going to have to explain it to her. From there the conversation could transition to what happened when each of our characters actually gained their powers (was there any visible effects at the time, what physical sensations it gave them, how they felt about it). Obviously the details of the conversation would vary from person to person with what they were comfortable sharing.

[Vulkan]

I hope hes alright. The embodiment of destruction as a penniless artist.

Im not entirely sure i got the moves right. Let me know if ive screwed something up.

Alain Reemont

Name: Alain Reemont

Pokemon: Yveltal

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Hometown: Nowhere. He cant even remember where he was born.

Level: 30

Ability: Dark Aura

Moves:
Oblivion Wing
Hurricane
Steel Wing
Double Team
AIr Slash

Legendary powers: Alain is capable of draining the life force of anything he touches, and is able to drain from a distance of fifteen meters, although this is much slower. Said draining can result in nourishment for him, which is useful for his time on the street. Despite his scrawny build, he is incredibly fast, preferring to dodge attacks rather than tank them. He is also capable of moving life force from one thing to another, acting as a form of healing. Should he drain something dry, he can gain access to some of their memories, although he has only ever drained a human once.

Held item: Life Orb

Appearance

Personality: Alain is arguably one of the kindest and most cheerful people you could ever meet. Despite his awful life, he just cant bear the thought of hurting people unnecessarily and always feels a little guilty using his power, even when it is on plants. However, he is not soft in any way, and if he will viciously attack if someone is being threatened by someone unpleasant. Thanks to his life on the street, he has had very little interation with other people, and as a result has no social skills. Especially when he is talking to women. When talking to people, he has a habit of stuttering. Although he is a good artist, he is incapable of making a career out of it due to aforementioned lack of social skills. He generally just gives his paintings away for free. Although he is usually quiet, he does have a habit of calling his attacks.

Backstory: Born as the to the heir of an important family and one of their maids, his mother was fired the moment she became pregnant, causing her to lose her home. Therefore, he was raised in various abandoned buildings and alleyways.

When he was eleven, she died of a unspecified illness, leaving him alone and frightened. He spent the next four years surviving on his own, coming close to starving many times and attempting to avoid trouble whenever he could. When he was fifteen, he met a scyther who had been abandoned by its trainer, and like Alain, he was slowly starving. The scyther became his only friend, with him naming it "Exo"

A few days later, him and Exo came across a old man close to death from the cold and wet. Out of simple kindness, Alain decided to stay with him in his last hours, as simply moving him would be fatal.

During this time, Arceus looked for humans to partner with legendary pokemon, and noticed the young boy who had lost almost everything that had ever mattered to him. Alain fell unconcious. When he woke up, he felt the power of destruction flowing through his now changed body.

He was shocked, horrified even. But he turned, and saw the old man close to death. With his newfound powers, he eased his passing, draining the last of his life force. Feeling invogerated, he was determined to use his new powers to help people in any way he could.

SInce then, he has attempted to change his life. He often likes to paint, although he has had little luck in selling his paintings.

Nickname: Exo
Species: Scyther
Gender: Male
Level: 30
Ability: Technician

Moves:
Swords Dance
Fury Cutter
Slash
Agility
Held item: Choice Band

[Thundercrash]

First of all, props on that image. Seriously.

The first issue that I can see is the natural life drain. We all know that that is Yveltal's signature, but recall that the avatars are (for the moment at least) much weaker versions of their Pokemon selves. This is just my opinion (final call is with Zanavy), but perhaps change it to that contact is a slow drain, and a very short range?

Also, I know it's a measly two levels, but the starting limit is 30. Just to be fair to everyone.

Otherwise, loving the contrast you have with Tantalus. The Homeless Man of Destruction vs the Lifegiver with a God Complex.

[Vulkan]

@Thundercrash

Thats perfectly fine. I wasnt intending for it to be too strong anyway. Im glad you like him.

You said it was the "First" issue. Is there a second i need to worry about?

[Thundercrash]

The only other one I can see is the number of TM's you have. By my count you have three (Steel Wing, Aerial Ace and U-turn). We're limited to one to start, maybe two with Zanavy's okay.

If we had more, then my moveset would look different.

[Ardent Dawn]

@Thundercrash I had Tackle until I replaced it with a TM Move - Groudon gets Earth Power and Lava Plume :P

It's entirely understandable, but low TM numbers makes everyone less catch-all.

[Leos Klien]

@VulkanRight, this is my personal feel on your character, which is pretty good, I like how Xerneas, the giver of life is a dick, and Yvetal the Pokemon of death has turned out be a really nice and kind guy.
You didn't work together on these to my knowledge and how that turned out is awesome; that being said Yvetal is the Pokémon of death, and you'd think that someone who is really nice guy with this knowledge would be absolutely terrified of what he could do; I really expected a big rift in the personality that suggests he is constantly fighting an inner turmoil.
It's like having the Grim reaper inside your body and mind; that'd be frigging horrifying to deal with, if you could actually deal with it.

Anyway just my thoughts, still love how both Yvetal and Xerneas have done a bit of table turning :D

[Sickle-cell]

You aren't the only one, I'm adoring the contrast.
