Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon - Shadows of the Past

[Shiny Keldeo]

The OOC Is Up Here:
Pokemon Mysery Dungeon: Shadows of the Past [Accepting]

Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon
Shadows of the Past

"Wherever harmony lies, there will always be chaos. Even If we believe it to be defeated, one day it will always return, in one way, shape, or form."

---

Premise/Plot

Over the past few years, there have been many cases in which the Pokemon of this world have banded together to prevent the destruction of our world. From the earliest time of Team Go-Getters when they stopped the meteor from smashing into our planet. Team Pokepals when they stopped the destruction of Temporal Tower and soothed the savage Dialga. Many others as well have performed great deeds for our world.

However, as time passes, new evil always arises from the ashes of the previous one. As well, the great teams that prevented the worlds destruction move on, and eventually vanish from public eye. Thus, new teams must step up and face the dangers of the Pokemon World, helping those in need and preventing disasters. When one such event threatens the very world in which we live, it seems a rare event occurs.

When the world is on the brink of destruction, supernatural forces call upon humans and bring them to our world in the forms of Pokemon. Generally they have no idea what is in store for them, and many times have no memory of their life before this occurs. They learn in time, and eventually find their destiny as protectors of this world. And now, it seems the cycle is beginning again. Forces once thought destroyed have returned, but It will take more than just a new batch of humans to prevent them this time. They must get the assistance of the original teams who defended to world once before, but will it even be possible?

*A quick side note, I don't know very much about the plot from the Super Mystery Dungeon game yet, as I've not had a chance to play it as of yet.*

Rules/Guidelines

1. Follow the Guild Rules

2. No Godmodding.

3. Collabs are okay, I just want to see more single posts usually

4. If a character you are RPing with drops or disappears, I'll take care of it.

5. If you have any questions about it, contact me or a Co-GM if there is one.

6. If you want to be an evil character, PM me and I'll send you the CS (That way the plot remains secret to everyone else)

7. I'm expecting this to be more Anime-Mechanic Based than Game-Mechanic Based.

8. Have Fun and Enjoy!

[ladyanglaise]

Interested!

[WeepingLiberty]

@Shiny Keldeo

Can I reserve one of those two human spots? I'll start work on the CS right away but will have many interruptions until later tonight.

And just for clarifications, the human gets turned into a Pokémon like in the games correct?

[Shiny Keldeo]

@ladyanglaise Good to hear, this actually surprised me on how fast there was interest compared to my other attempts.

@WeepingLiberty First come first serve. I'm gonna add one last requirement though for the Human. No Legendaries, and only First Form Pokemon.

@Shiny Keldeo

Okay, I'll try to get it in quickly then. I arrived to an appointment early so I have a little extra time to work.

EDIT: Also, what are you looking for exactly in terms of Backstory? Are you talking about how they lived their lives as a trainer before the little switcheroo?

[Shiny Keldeo]

@WeepingLiberty Essentially. For a Pokemon it's their lives so far in the Pokemon World. For a Human turned Pokemon, it's what their life was like before being brought to the Pokemon World. That's where the Memories section comes in, that's how much you remember of that backstory.

Okay, that's what I thought. Thanks.

Nova

Name:
Nova

Gender:
Female

Pokemon:
Fennekin

Backstory:

Before waking up in a world unfamiliar to her, Nova wasa a human trainer just like any other... Well, almost. Trainer might not quite be the right term for her as Nova was a member of her region's Ranger force. Devoting her life to the preservation of Pokemon and their natural habitats, she worked alongside a loyal friend she had rescued from the clutches of an abusive trainer. A Fennekin by the name of Salahyna trained and grew with her new friend, helping her out as best she could.

Bother human and Pokemon grew together doing the best that they could to bring about peace and protection to Pokemon everywhere. Fennekin eventually evolved into Braixen and again to the fierce Delphox over time, the pair about as close as one could be with another living being. When Salahyna fell sick, Nova herself was sick with worry frantically searching for a way to nurse her beloved friend back to health. It was during this search that she crossed paths with a Pokemon shrouded in mystery that promised to heal her friend if Nova helped heal the world. Desperate for help, Nova agreed without any idea of what it was she was supposed to be doing.

Next thing she knows, she's waking up in a forest with little memory of her original life and absolutely none of the promise she's made... Oh and did I mention, she's now a Fennekin?

Personality:

Nova is a determined soul with big dreams motivating her every action. A bit on the extreme side, she has a desire to protect everyone and gets upset easily when faced with the reality that she can't. She also has an unfortunate habit of biting off more than she can chew with a situation, whether that being facing up against a foe much larger than her, or carrying more objects than she can hold. Ambitions aside, Nova at her very core is a kind and compassionate person who feels and tries to take on everyone's problems for them.

Because of how much time she spends trying to take care of everyone else, Nova can get pretty down sometimes as she feels rather alone in her fight to end all things bad in the world. She's not sure what it is she's actually looking for, but Nova knows that there is something missing that she needs to get back.

Team:
Comet's Soul

Moveset:

• Scratch
• Ember
• Psybeam
• Sunny Day

Special Features:
Shiny, and wears a small ringlet around her front right paw.

Memories:

Nova doesn't remember much about her previous life. She does know her name and she is certain beyond belief that she is human... But there's a second name that floats around her head from time to time; Salahyna. She doesn't know what it means, but she's determined to find out.

Sorry for the double post... Here's my initial idea for the human character I mentioned. It's a little on the rushed side so if there's anything you want or need me to change I'll happily oblige.

[ladyanglaise]

@Shiny Keldeo Can I RP as two Pokemon who form a team?

[Iatos]

Well i'm interested in this too xD...

And I know all there's to know about Super Mystery dungeon. Kinda

[Noklu]

Ooh, this could be promising! I'm interested~ I might want to try and snag that other human spot if it's okay.

EDIT: Added a char sheet for the possible human spot.

Dylan

Name:
Dylan

Gender:
Male

Pokemon:
Mudkip

Backstory:
Before all of this started, Dylan grew up in a suburban community, and lived a relatively normal life. However, being young and foolish, he tended to procrastinate various things (or at least try). Homework, chores, family obligations; almost anything was fair game to pushing back. His grades and motivation quickly decreased, and was frequently scolded. He valued his time with friends above all else. What he lost in procrastination, he made up for with general care for his friends He often was afraid that he'd lose his friends, so he tried to make them happy whenever possible. However, when one of his small group of friends had to move away, the group started to fall apart. Dylan slowly grew depressed, and with nothing better to do, stopped procrastinating. He worked with little emotion or enthusiasm. Only when he found a new group of friends did he become happy again. He continued to do his work (though still tried to get out of it here and there) and found a balance in his life. Currently he has no memory of his human life, only knowing his name, and knowledge of Pokémon.

Personality:
Dylan tends to be wise for his age, due to the world wide web, as well as having to deal with some stress. He also puts others before himself mostly, however, he leans on those he trusts or absolutely needs help from. He tends to keep his true feelings and issues to himself, not wanting to bother others with his problems. Dylan enjoys to play games and has a competitive side to him when he plays. He makes friends fairly quickly (if they seem nice to him, that is), and once he considers someone a friend, he'll hold on to that title for as long as he can.

Team:
N/A

Moveset:
Mud-Slap
Water Gun
Growl
Avalanche

Special Features:
Nothing too different about him, besides his eyes being a silver/gray instead of black.

Memories:
Only remembers his name and the fact that he was human, nothing more

[Shiny Keldeo]

@ladyanglaise I'll allow it for strictly Pokemon characters, you can create at least one NPC for a Team if you want.

@Noklu If you have your character have amnesia, he has to remember he's human as well.

@Iatos That's good, I'll probably require some assistance with Super Mystery Dungeon portions of the story then.

[Iatos]

@Shiny Keldeo I can help you with that no problem xD

[ladyanglaise]

@Shiny Keldeo Awesome! I want to make a team of two non-human Pokemon, and I'm going to actively RP as both of them.

[Noklu]

@Shiny Keldeo Alrighty, I fixed that part. Hopefully everything else is up to standards!

[Shiny Keldeo]

Well, this is already going better than my poor Pokemon Ranger idea...

[ladyanglaise]

Team Clawtune

Name: Pip

Gender: Male

Pokemon: Kricketot

Backstory: Was raised by his doting mother Lyra, a Kricketune that was an intelligent and influential member of Valiant Village. He called her "Ma" and always admired her, though she was very stern. She went missing a few months ago when she tried to rescue another Pokemon from a dungeon, but neither of them ever came back.

Personality: Pip is very quiet, thoughtful, and often nervous around new people. He's a very level-headed and calm Pokemon, not as rash and abrasive like his best friend Jaki. His moves utilize his strengths, namely singing and bug-type moves that he's known since he was hatched, because he's not inherently a very good fighter. He was frequently bullied by bigger and stronger Pokemon when he was younger. He hopes that by fighting alongside Jaki and helping others he can become stronger. He admires and misses his mother, who was headstrong and brave; he hopes to find out what happened to her by going through dungeons and exploring.

Team: Team Clawtune, with Jaki

Moveset:

• Growl
• Sing
• Headbutt
• Bug Buzz

Special Features: From a physical standpoint, he's just a normal Kricketot.

Name: Jaki

Gender: Female

Pokemon: Gligar

Backstory: Jaki has no idea where her parents are; they disappeared when she was a young hatchling. She fended for herself in the wilderness for a long time before arriving in Valiant Village, where Lyra adopted her. After Lyra disappeared, Jaki made it her goal to become an explorer and formed a rescue team with Pip to not only find their dear Ma, but altos help anyone else who needed it.

Personality: Jaki is hawkish and quarrelsome, a natural-born fighter. She's often very warm towards others, and in known around town for her loud and cheerful personality. She's very impulsive and fiery, and she's as quick to pick a fight as she is to crack a joke. Jaki is very protective of Pip, whom she fully considers to be her baby brother.

Team: Team Clawtune, with Pip

Moveset:

• Poison Jab
• Fury Cutter
• Brick Break
• Screech

Special Features: She's notably smaller than the average Gligar, measuring about 2' head-to-tail instead of 3' head-to-tail, a fact that vexes her daily.

[Shiny Keldeo]

@ladyanglaise Looks good, very well done.

@Noklu Humans don't have teams as of yet, that's all I can find wrong with it for now.

@WeepingLiberty Same thing with yours, Humans don't have teams as of yet. Also not so keen on the Shiny Fennekin yet, but idk.

[Shiny Keldeo]

Name: Rico

Gender: Male

Pokemon: Riolu

Backstory: Rico is the male twin and offspring of Spirit the Lucario. He trains with his sister under his father at his guild, where he dream of becoming an exploration team. Their father is very strict, but they have found a way to get out at night, where they escape to the nearby woods and lay under the stars and relax. His dream is shared with his sister.

Personality: Rico is the more cautious and careful of the duo, often having to help his sister out of a sticky situation after one of her reckless acts. However, he is not all like that. He's the one that discovered how they could get out at night, and actually suggested it in the first place. He is one of the most caring Pokemon you'll ever meet, and also one of the most adventurous.

Team: Rico does not have an established team, yet!

Moveset:

• Force Palm
• Quick Attack
• Counter
• Aura Sphere (In-Training from Spirit)

Special Features: Rico has no distinguishing characteristics, yet!

Family: Spirit the Lucario - Father; Lulu the Riolu - Sister

Guild Affiliation: Spirit's Guild

---

Name: Lulu

Gender: Female

Pokemon: Riolu

Backstory: Lulu is one of the twin Riolu of Spirit the Lucario, leader of Spirit's Guild. It was there that Lulu and her brother trained under their father to become an exploration team. No matter how strict he was with them though, they would always sneak out at night to the nearby woods to relax and watch the stars. They aren't an official team yet, but in time they will prove themselves.

Personality: Lulu is a lot more reckless than her brother, and often misjudges things such as jumps or drops. She's got a heart of gold, however, and wants to help Pokemon that need it while exploring alongside her brother. She has a likeness to her that just makes you want to smile when she's happy, it's hard to explain.

Team: Lulu does not have an established team, yet!

Moveset:

• Force Palm
• Quick Attack
• Counter
• Aura Sphere (In-Training from Spirit)

Special Features: To distinguish between the two without voice, Lulu wears a red ribbon around one of her ears.

Family: Spirit the Lucario - Father; Rico the Riolu - Brother

Guild Affiliation: Spirit's Guild

---

These two don't have much backstory because they haven't been around long enough to have a long one. These two are still pretty young, and their father hasn't let them have too many adventures yet. Eventually he's going to let them go on their first mission, but for now he's content on continuing their training at his guild.

[Polaris North]

Color me interested.

So put up a character sheet here right?

Zaru

Name: Zaru

Gender: Male

Pokemon: Chimchar

Backstory: Zaru was born and partially raised outside the village. Their tribe usually travelled from one place to another to hone their talents further. They would climb mountains, travel through forests like it's any other day. That was Zaru's everyday life and he enjoyed the heck out of it. He and his brother would usually compete on who's better which just makes Zaru better and better. They were one happy family but then their parents got sick and soon died from this illness because they didn't have the necessary herbs to heal them.

So Zaru and Rick departed for Valiant Village, the nearest village to their position. They managed to ease in perfectly thanks to the hospitality of the people there. He didn't think about it much but he was interested at Spirit's Guild. It was for explorers they say. Before he knew it though, he had gone through four seasons in the village already and he grew up. Despite coming from a family who can't stay put, he seemed to be very relaxed and just watched the other pokemon play. Suddenly, Rick up and left and said that he didn't want being stuck in one place. He asked Zaru if he wanted to come but the chimchar politely declined and stayed at Valiant Village.

Another year passed after that and he finally decided to join Spirit's Guild. Although this would be his second year there, he still hasn't joined a team yet. He usually takes applications that are basic and that's why he managed to get by without a team. But he seemed keen on joining one so he can get to more explorations. Sometimes, even a laid back pokemon has the spirit of an adventurer after all.

Personality: Zaru's the type of pokemon who is very laid back. He seems to just go with the flow, and doesn't seem to think about what the future has in store for him. He is friendly and usually spends most of his time basking in the glory of sunlight while sitting on a tree branch although he likes rain too of course. He also likes watching other pokemon play around while he simply watches, not seemingly intent on joining in on the fun. It's odd that he isn't as hyperactive as pokemon his age but that's just the type of guy he is.

Although this doesn't necessarily mean you can't pump him up to go on expeditions. Actually just say the word and he'll spring to action. He won't take the lead or become one of the most hyperactive person but he will follow around and try to help as much as he can. Despite being very laid back in his free time, he's seen to still be more agile and quick than most Chimchar's out there making him quite an asset. He isn't afraid to get down and dirty and can hold himself against a real fight.

Team: Zaru's planning to join a team who needs an extra member.

Moveset:

• Ember
• Fury Swipes
• Flame Wheel
• Taunt

Special Features: Looks just like any other Chimchar but he's more agile and stronger than average.

Family: Only living family is his big brother, Rick the Monferno although he's out and about

Guild: Spirit's Guild
