Hey, Ciphra. You want me to make a post about us entering the laboratory or should I? This also including meeting the new guy.

[Ciphra]

I'll let you take care of it, sorry I went to sleep I believe right before you asked last night XD

@Ciphra@hatakekuro

Hey, guys. Sorry for the late posting. I figured since it is only the three of us, I am taking my time on posting. I do hope to make a two posts a day. Are you guys okay with me taking my time or would you like to put more effort? I will respond regardless so you don't have to worry about it dying.

This role-play can progress at slow pace or pretty regular. It depends on what you guys are comfortable so I know how much to put it in a day.

[Ciphra]

I'd like to personally see at least once a day posting, if not every other.

[Leaves]

It's a slow day...

[Ciphra]

Sorry I've been busy with some school work, plust I was waiting on Hatake XD

@hatakekuro

It is, but seeing how it is only the three of us, it's probably going to go slow. Myself and Ciphra estimated a post a day or every other day. I'm not sure if that's fine with you.

@Leaves

It's fine. I'll try and get a post up tonight.

@Ciphra

Hey, Ciphra. I think we lost Hatake.

[Remram]

sorry, I've been a bit busy...I think I may have to drop it. I don't have enough time for too many rps.

@hatakekuro

That's a shame. If this becomes dead, I'll probably revive it again in a month or two. Hope to see you on it's possible revival.

@Leaves

If that's the case just message me on the reboot, that way we can have some more people. I'll just use Trinity again so it won't be difficult for me at all. But that'll give me more time for my school stuff anyway, though it's a shame we'll have to try it again later, I like the concept behind it a lot.

@Draconequis

Yeah, no problem! It's a small group roleplay so your input would be significant! You can make an application.

[Draconequis]

Name: Xanthia Flare Evergreen
Age: 17

Class: Trainer

Hometown/Region: Unova

Appearance

Xanthia tends to wear simple red t-shirts and black jeans. She also has a set of combat boots she keeps her pants tucked into. If she is cold, she will pull on a faded grey hoodie or a green windbreaker. She often keeps her hair tied back in a braid to keep it out of her face.
She tends to favor functionality over style, and doesn't really care too much about appearance as long as she is comfortable.

Personality: Xanthia is something of a tomboy and tends to punch people when she decides she likes them. As a tomboy, she prefers the company of men to women, because she likes the same things as men do. She will become irritated if she meets someone who is too girly. She has a very snarky, sarcastic way of speaking to others and can often cause trouble saying things she probably shouldn't say.

Equipment: A simple military styled backpack with a sleeping bag tied to the top. Jammed inside the backpack is an assortment of survival supplies. These supplies include, two dusk balls, three pokeballs, a fire starter, a trowel, water bottle, MRE's, a small pot, a multitool, extra clothes, a small bottle of Tincture of Iodine 2%, a windbreaker, and a hunting knife.

Pokemon Team: Gengar, Magnemite, egg (to be togepi).

History: When Xanthia was six, she discovered her mother had once been a member of Unova's pokemon league. Xanthia became furious of her mother's decision to abandon the league to raise her instead. From here, Xanthia vowed to become the pokemon league champion and surpass her mother.

When she turned eight, Xanthia's mother gifted Xanthia her first pokemon. She'd been secretly training a Gastly she'd nicknamed Anubis, giving Xanthia a little head start by evolving it into a haunter. However, her mother did not think to account for the fact the haunter would evolve. As soon as Xanthia grasped the pokeball, her new starter pokemon became Gengar. This lead to some serious issues, as the Gengar did not want to obey the young and inexperienced Xanthia, refusing to return to his pokeball. As she went to trainer school, Xanthia got in trouble frequently for Anubis pranking teachers and students. So she kept her head down and studied as hard as she could to prove herself.

When she turned thirteen, she decided she'd had enough with her pesky Gengar and tried to sell him or trade him away on the internet. While she searched the internet, she used her hard earned money to order a Magnemite, because she planned on replacing her Gengar. However, when the magnemite finally came, it was extremely sickly and weak. Within a few days of its arrival, the Magnemite had died. This made Xanthia very upset, as she'd only known the creature for a few days and she'd not even managed to name it yet.

Hating to see her daughter so upset, Xanthia's mother contacted the company her daughter had bought the Magnemite from and bullied them into sending a new magnemite. Needless to say, Xanthia was overjoyed when her new pokemon came in the mail, this one was healthy and in good condition. Her mother had secretly paid a little extra to the company to get a better quality pokemon for her daughter. Xanthia nicknamed this new magnemite Beep. From here on, Xanthia kept trying multiple ways of getting rid of Anubis, however, the creature and his pokeball always managed to find their way back to her. Until Xanthia finally gave up with trying to get rid of Anubis to his glee. In the meantime, her new Magnemite Beep was proving to be another challenge entirely. As she got to know Beep, she learned she had no idea how to tell its emotions. Every time it wanted something it would send bursts of electricity arcing through her body until she figured out what exactly Beep wanted. Not wanting to get electrocuted anymore, Xanthia spent most of the free time she had studying the subtle body movments of her Magnemite. From this she learned how to tell its emotions, which lead to her being electrocuted less and less, until the Magnemite ceased electrocuting her completely. For some reason, Anubis and Beep seemed to ignore each other's existence completely. Since Xanthia spent so long trying to understand her pokemon, she spent little to no time training either of them to fight in actual battles. Not that she could even dream of trying to train that pesky gengar of hers.

Xanthia finally graduated trainers school at the age of fifteen. She was one of the highest scoring test takers in her class, and impressed most of the faculty with her ingenuity. Now if only she could get control of that Gengar.

As a graduation present, her mother had one of her friends give her an egg. She then gave this egg to Xanthia, informing her on egg care, and telling her what to do when the creature hatched. For some reason, Anubis seemed unhealthily interested in the egg, even going so far as to take it from Xanthia and hiding it under her bed. After being mad the first few times, Xanthia realized Anubis was actually being protective of the egg, not trying to break it. So she allowed the ghost pokemon to care for the egg, because it kept him out of her hair, at least for a little while.

When she was deciding what region to explore, her mother casually mentioned Toppe. Hearing that their gym leaders were considered extremely strong, Xanthia made her choice and decided to start her journey here. Intrigued by the idea of becoming the league champion of a challenging region, she sent in her trainer application to be processed. She was overjoyed when her application was accepted and she was allowed passage into the other region. Since her mother had been on a journey before, she took her mother's advice and packed everything her mother had written on a list.

As soon as her seventeenth birthday came around, Xanthia said goodbye to her mother, heading off with two pokemon and one egg. All it took was a single 14 hour plane ride. A plane ride with Anubis causing as much chaos as possible.. thankfully one of the other passengers had a mightyena, and ended up sending out the creature to repeatedly use odor sleuth and keep her Gengar in check. Still.. the fact Anubis STILL wouldn't listen to her was downright embarrassing.

@leaves

let me know what you think. if i need to change something, i have no problem with that at all.

[Leaves]

@Draconequis

I see you put a lot of work into it and I have nothing to add. It's a really good application. You're accepted.

A briefing of what's happening in the role-play is most of the trainers got out of the boat ride to Toppe and are headed to the "introduction" laboratory center.
