@Leos Klien Yeah, we're still taking new players - the main storyline doesn't kick off until Wednesday, but I expect that you'll still be able to join then :)

@Ardent Dawn

Oh good ^.^
I'll write up an Cs in a bit- by the way, am I allowed Legendary Pokemon, I'll only have Darkrai, since he's my favourite Pokemon of all time, I can easily substitute him for a non-legend though.

[Zanavy]

[@Leos Kilen]Yeah, we're still accepting. Darkrai is taken, but most other legends are available.

I don't really have a set date for plot points to start, just however long it takes to reach them in-RP

@Zanavy

Awh no Darkrai! ;-;

It's fine, I'll write one up with another of my favourites, and probably just fanboy over the other characters Darkrai in IC instead.

Also, after reading the first post properly I've discovered that we are all Legends, I shall stop skim reading important stuff henceforth.

[Leos Klien]

Name: Germaine

Pokemon*: Giratina

Gender: Male.

Age: 38

Hometown: Snowpoint City; Sinnoh.

Level**:28

Ability: Pressure

Moves (up to 6): Ancient power, Dragon Claw, Destiny bond and Shadow sneak.

Legendary powers: Giratina, the shadow Pokémon, or Renegade Pokemon has always existed in another dimension, placed there by Arceus for his violence in a time long since past.
He has various abilities, namely the ability to travel back to his distortion world and out again as he see's fit- it is limited of course, there are 'focal' points littered across the world that shimmer slightly whenever he nears them.
The Distortion world allows him to travel around in that world with greater ease than if he was in the real world as he reverts back to his form of Giratina- in this world he can view the real world; watch, and wait.
He can and will drag some unsuspecting souls into the Distortion world for some reason or another- but he generally hunts for two very specific targets.
He also has the ability to move through objects- becoming transparent when doing so; he can't sustain this for great lengths of time however in his avatar.
Germaine is also naturally resistant to normal attacks- be it a punch from a human or a headbutt or tackle from a Pokemon.

Held item***:Spooky Plate- a shard of Arceus himself, it appeared in the Distortion world when he was freed- he is however searching for his Griseous Orb.

Appearance:

Personality: Cold, withdrawn, spiteful, inquisitive.
Germaine has the personality types that one would expect from an age old Pokemon that has been trapped in seclusion; forever watching the world of men and Pokemon from a window that is always one sided.
He is greatly interested in the world, he loves to explore and the only time you will see him smiling is when he discovers something new or something that he likes, he will be in awe towards the most mundane of things and be be excited at trying the simplest and widely eaten of foods.
It goes without saying that this side of him is enjoyable to be around, his smile brings smiles to the faces of those around him, and for good reason too.
However, it would be ideal for him to be like this all the time, but he isn't- he will commonly be in thought, observing things and those around him, as he as done for so long in his life, he will also; and quite commonly as well, be hateful of many that are having an enjoyable life around him, he has felt what no other could ever feel- he is the hated one, wiped from the history books of man for his actions in the past.
But, he stops himself from lashing out because despite what he may say he loves this world- and if any dare take it from him he will fight and lash out in a manner that was reminiscent of his younger self.
He hates Dialga and Palkia with a furious passion, and will attack them on sight without regard of the consequences- as he see's them as the culprits behind his imprisonment.
Unfortuantly due to Giratinas distressed and chaotic mind and nature, upon assuming his avatar the original hosts memories and previous personality was erased in the process; glimmers find their way through sometimes- which either makes Giratina act slightly erratic or changes his current mood and mindset for a period of time.

Backstory:
Giratina remembered the day that Arceus; God of all creation entered his relam - he knew everything that took place in the Distortion world, it was as much a part of him as he was a part of it.
Arceus was far more powerful than him though, as is the obvious result of God meeting one of his creations- Giratina was dubious at first, but hidden deep under all the hate and resentment there was a glimmer of hope from afar he had witnessed what was occurring on the real world.
And if Arceus had come here at this time, it meant one of two things.
Today was the day he died.
Or the day he was freed.

It was the latter, Arceus spoke and then he left without waiting for a reply- and before he knew it he was blinking through the eyes of a human on the ground of the Human world.
A soft breeze tickled his face and swept through his hair, staring down he seen a pair of hands- one of them had very callused finger tips in comparison to the other, but they were soft and had slender dexterous fingers.
He fell to his knees for the first time and let out long staggered sobs- he was overjoyed, for the first time in his long life he felt that emotion.
After a few minutes, ho composed himself and looked around- he was in a forest by the looks of it, and it had snowed quite recently - it had just dawned upon him that he had dirtied his trousers, a new experience to be sure.

It was strange though- somehow he had clearly took possession of a humans body, but he had no idea of who this person was or what he was doing in this snowy forest.
A name...
He needed a name.

Giratina started feeling around his new body for some sort of identification, his search yielded a wallet in his right trouser pocket, and inside it contained some money, various cards and a photo of himself.
He gazed at the photo for a while after removing it from its plastic sheath - had had to admit, he liked the look of this human. He picked through the various cards after placing the photo back- they all had the name Germaine upon them, he personally didn't care what the family name was as the humans called it- the only family he had trapped him in a prison and a torturous existence for centuries - so he donned the name Germaine.

For obvious reasons, Germaine didn't return back to the city that was closest on the road, instead he headed - instinctively towards a weak spot between the worlds; focal points that allowed him to view the human world with greater ease from the other side- since he has been freed from his jail, it appears he can now access the distortion world and this world with ease- so long as he finds one of these focal points; and he knew where almost everyone was off by heart, being in that place for centuries these areas were the ones he was most familiar with as he generally watched through them.

Ah.
The Snowpoint city Focal point number 3.
Now he knew where he was, this focal point was not far from the city itself, but rather the road leading to it via Mount Coronet- it figured he'd be in this country of all the ones out there, and it was this one he definitely could not stay in - he wanted to get away from the nation that caused him the most distress, and it would complicate things less if wasn't around those who might have known the person this body belonged too.
So he entered the realm that was his home - its familiarity was somewhat comforting,but he didn't want to be here for long.
It also appeared that he reverted to his normal form here.
Giratina travelled through his realm; searching for one that he liked. It took an hour, but he found an area that looked nice, a city called Fortree city - the humans here were in tune with nature and he had a greater respect for them than he did the rest, he felt that they truly appreciated the world they lived in - as they should.

Once Germaine materialised in the world of men and Pokemon he began to enjoy his new life.
There were some things he could never shake off however, namely his observant nature, he would typically observe others rather than participate, but on occasion he would realise that he could actually participate now, as he has always wanted to, it would take some time before that would sink in - old habits die hard, a human saying that he was fond of.

It was around a year in to his new life; whereupon other Legendary Pokemon had become rather famous in their new roles that Giratina befriended his first Pokemon, a female Kirlia.
From what he gathered these Pokemon were typically attuned to the feelings of the humans and Pokemon around them, and it appeared that this Kirlia was aware of the great turmoil that raged in his heart, she knew that he suffered more than any other being could ever suffer.
And she followed him - Germaine didn't ask for this Pokemon to be his friend, but nevertheless she did become it - humans needed Pokéballs for this sort of thing, but this one naturally followed him and would fight for him if he wanted it.
He slowly came closer to Kirlia, and after all this time relies upon her whenever his emotions start to flare up - particularly rage and hate.

After some more time of travelling with his friend he decided to partake in battling with other trainers - it was surprisingly difficult, and he had to stop himself from lashing out at the other trainers Pokemon early into his experience of this, especially when Kirlia took some serious damage.
He seldomn battles now however, he may one day take it up again, but when he has a Pokemon with him that he doesn't feel such a companionship with.
Fundamentally this is flawed of course- - other trainers say so but he disregards them; they simply can't comprehend what his and Kirlia's relationship is.

Then came the day that Kirlia dragged him by the arm towards a poster pinned up in the city center of Rustboro City, it was about the avatars - a festival dedicated towards them; Kirlia knew in her heart that Germaines intention towards going was one of vengeance, if he found either of Diagla or Palkia there- they would pay heavily for their actions in the past towards him; but at the same time, he may meet others...
Legendary's that actually may know of him, and possibly even respect or like him.
It was worth a try at the very least.

I'm going to respectfully put my two cents out there, but no one has to necessarily listen.

While it is confirmed that Arceus is the creator of many--if not all--of the Legendary Pokemon of Sinnoh, as well as creator of the landmasses of Sinnoh and Ransei, and is confirmed to definitely be one of the most powerful Pokemon, it is not the altogether "God" of the Pokemon World. Mew still gave birth to it, just like it did nearly every other Pokemon, save those created by Arceus and mankind. If it truly were "God", then it would not have been surpassed by Rayquaza and Mewtwo's Mega forms, which it invariably was.

[EclipseDragon]

@Rethel34 A little bit of Fanon never hurt though, I mean - last I checked, fusing human souls with digital creatures was also a digimon concept but here we are having fun with it ;)

@Leos Klien Loving the Giritina design man, it's cool that we have a more 'renegade' type character thrown in the mix and one that is more controlled by the pokemon and less by the human.

@Rethel34

It depends if it has it's Plates- the film The Jewl of Life clearly shows that Arceus can be immune? (Very resistent to) all types of attacks - I'd like to think the Arceus that is shown in his own film is the one that follows lore on his actual capability and strength.

However you are correct in saying that it's debatable as to whether or not it is indeed God, but that is similar to all arguments of theology.

@EclipseDragon

Thank you sir ^.^
Glad you like him.

[Zanavy]

I'm gonna take a twenty minute or so nap, and then I'm gonna post in IC, and then I'm gonna check on OOC.

[Zanavy]

@Leos KlienThank you for your patience. Germaine looks like an awesome character! I think one of my main NPCs is bound to love or hate him very much... I'm not sure which. ^_^'

Germaine is approved. Please copy to Characters.

@Zanavy

Thank you for approving him ^.^
Time to make an entrance for him.

[Ardent Dawn]

@Zanavy Love the Porygon-Z, by the way - the mental image was priceless ^_^

[Leos Klien]

Im gunna post tomorrow guys, it's late here and I'm knackered.
G'Night.

[Zanavy]

To anyone who read my last IC post and cares: I decided to change the parade to before the tournament. Because parades are fun, and it will probably take much fewer posts than a tournament.

Darn those festival organizers and their constantly changing plans.

@Ardent DawnThank you. :3 I decided to reprise an idea from an RP years ago that died before I could introduce Porygon-Z.

[Rethel34]

@Ardent Dawn Agreed. That was hilarious.

Well, time for me to figure out a post for tonight.

[Ardent Dawn]

@Rethel34 Would it be recognisable that you're the one that cast Tailwind without necessarily eavesdropping? Seems like perfect grounds to say hi after that workout :)

[Rethel34]

To someone observant enough, one might find its source to be him, but of course, he's not flaunting his power or anything.

[Ardent Dawn]

@Rethel34 In which case, I have a different idea - I'll drop my post in the IC shortly.
