His frame hides his hearty appetite and love of food.

β–Ί Beer
Regularly found at a bar on the weekends, Leo enjoys a drink.

The only thing better than metal is live metal!

β–Ί Horror Films
He has a wide taste when it comes to movies but if he could only have one genre it would definitely be horror.

β–Ί Nissan GTR
With a fair amount of disposable income available he treated himself to this lovely piece of Japanese engineering.

β–Ί Brother | Alex
Leo's younger brother who visits him at least once a year. Still lives in the UK.

β–Ί Rufus
Leo's German Shepherd is on the larger size for it's breed, which can make him intimidating for those who don't know him. He is one of the friendliest dogs you could hope to meet.

β–Ί P E R S O N A L I T Y ═══════════════════════

β–Ί Leo is very much a people person, willing to talk to whoever is willing to listen. He likes to laugh and joke but has no qualms about being someones shoulder to cry on. Compassion is strong within Leo and his loyalty to his friends is second to none. He is strong willed, verging on stubborn at times, but will always do whatever he can to help his friends. He regularly stands up to bullies sometimes to his own detriment.

Adventure is a big part of his philosophy and is part of the reason why he spends alot of time hiking and camping. He loves the peace and solace that nature brings, using it to break up what is often a very loud life as the owner of a bar.

β–Ί H I S T O R Y ════════════════════════════

β–Ί A standard upbringing for Leo left him with plenty of fond memories and built him into the person he is today. He loves life and has always tended to lean towards adventure rather than the comfort of home. That is how, when at the age of eighteen, he made his way across the Atlantic and make Sol City his home. Having a fairly strong Welsh accent rather than the generic English that the movies portray meant that many times early on he was mistaken for being German, South African and Swedish to name a few. He always laughed it off and would offer to explain where he was from should anyone ask.

His first bout of employment saw him working several bartending jobs throughout the week, enough to keep the food on the table and a roof above his head. He spent little beyond bills and rent, saving as much as he could. As the years rolled by the numbers in his bank account began to grow until he finally had the money to enact his plan. Moving to Sol City was no accident, Sully found that the biggest bands in metal would always stop there on tour. The support for metal was pretty big in the city and that is what drew him there. With enough money saved he bought a property and set about opening a heavy metal bar.

Doubling as a bar and nightclub, The Aether was a big hit with the metal scene and draws big crowds on the weekend. The aesthetic and design was created by his brother and is part of the reason why the place is a big hit. Competitive pricing and friendly staff also help, but there is something about the place that keeps people coming back for more.

Most recently he has been able to take a step back from running the bar day to day after hiring a bar manager. Instead he simply lives of a percentage of the profits which allows him to have a comfortable existence. Often he'll find himself in the bar himself for the company and will help out where necessary. Even with the success he has had, he still feels as if he is missing something or someone important in his life. He tried the dating scene for a while but with no success, finding many of the women interested more in his money than in him as a person.

β–Ί F A V O U R I T E S O N G ════════════════════

β–Ί His favourite song changes regularly, but there is often a core set of five songs that he will always go back to.

β–Ί Crossfaith / Omen
Growing up listening to Prodigy meant he lost his mind when he first heard this.

β–Ί Fleshgod Apocalypse / The Fool
Something about the almost classical nature of the song appeals to him.

β–Ί Shadow of Intent / The Heretic Prevails
One of his favourite bands at the moment.

β–Ί Whitechapel / The Saw Is The Law
What he would call a neck snapper.

β–Ί Within The Ruins / Feeding Frenzy
Is a little obsessed with the guitarist.

β–Ί M O V I E A C T O R ══════════════════════

β–Ί Luke Evans
More for the accent than anything else.




The girl tried to hide her giggle but Sully could hear it, the embarassment escalating to a whole new level. She politely introduced hereself, "He's so cute! I'm Viviene Nexan but people just call me Ivy." Corbin reached out and took hold of waiting hand. He had always been brought up to be polite and courteous, manners cost nothing costantly drilled into him as he grew up. He shook Ivy's hand gently, he was much taller than she was and didn't want to come across as a clumsy oaf...even if he had just fell face first onto the floor.

He watched on as she turned her attention to Piplup, saying hello to the small water type while introducing her own Cyndaquil. A grin forced it's way onto Sully's face as the two pokemon played human and exchanged a handshake. The cuteness of the sight was too much for even him to handle. He tried to compose himself, stretched his mouth open wide as if to fake a yawn. You're eighteen, start acting like it, he thought to himself.

"A few years ago, these pokemon were extremely rare in Kanto, you know? I'm so glad to have my own Cyndaquil!" Sully responded with a somewhat excited tone. "Well you have got yourself a winner there it looks." He cast a glance to the small fire type and threw it a warm smile. "I've spent quite a bit of time looking into the Institute and the work they have done for pokemon conservation is amazing Like you said, you couldn't have ever dreamt of getting a Cyndaquil in Kanto until the last decade or so. Pokemon being specific to particular regions is no longer a thing." Pausing for a moment Sully sighed, looking Ivy square in the eyes. "I cannot wait to see them a..."

Before he could finish a loud monotone sound came from the TV. Grabbing his attention he turned to see Professor Oak's face on the TV. Without hesitation the professor began to speak.

Welcome everyone, i'm Professor Arianna Oak! Unfortunately I cannot be there with you all due to some important business but this pre-recorded message should cover everything! Let me start by saying congratulations on winning the Oak Institute Trainer Program lottery. At this time each and every one of the twenty winners has completed orientation which means that it is time for you all to begin your journeys. You will explore the Region of Kanto, for some of you that will be home, others an entirely new place and experience. Whatever is the case, this experience will change your lives and give you a new perspective on our world. I could go on for hours about what you should do or what you may encounter, but where is the fun in that? Each and every group will now receive a message on their Pokedex explaining what your first task is. Once that is out of the way you'll have an opportunity to do whatever you like, whether it be a case of challenging a gym or just hunting some pokemon. So with that I bid you all farewell and goodluck!

Professor Oak's face faded from the TV and simultaneously each and every person's Pokedex, no matter the room, pinged as it received a message. The messages we're unique to each room and laid out what she wanted them to do. The destinations were clear but how the groups would get there was entirely up to them. This was to be their journey, their story and it would unfold through their own actions and decisions. For Sully he looked down at his message and began reading.



"I'm not sure how comfortable I feel about this but I guess we have to do it. What do you think?" Sully looked to Ivy to see what she wanted to do.

Your BB code is godlike. Beyond this earthly realm of incompetence in which I fit in perfectly...

Honestly it’s not all that hard once you know how. It’s just about making sure all the code starts and ends, line up properly.
@CaptainSully

Sorry about that, something about switching between pages while tagging people causes problems. I'll have to add your locations to the map too.


Not a problem mate I kinda guessed you were referring to me as well given only three of us posted CS’ so far.

<Snipped quote by Pilatus>

Got em on the OOC and code shows no errors.
We good to go when time comes.

Also i must compliment @CaptainSully on your insanely well laid out BB code. Its a masterpiece..

Why thank you kind sir.


Sully shook violently as he awoke, falling off the couch onto his face. As he tried to push himself up Piplup came crashing down on the back of his head letting out a cry of it's name. With a muffled voice Sully spoke. "What the hell was that?" Piplup rolled off his trainers head and caught sight of the new trainer who had joined the pair. She looked at them with an inquisitive gaze, before taking several steps foreward. From the corner of his eye Corbin could only make out his pokemon wandering out of view. With his face still firmly planted on the floor the young man pushed himself up and back onto the couch. For several moments he rubbed at his face after receiving some mild friction burn. As he lowered his hands he finally saw the other trainer in the room.

He took a moment to register the girl in front of him, still reeling from his impromptu nap. He bashfully lowered his head and rubbed at the back of his neck as the embarassment took over. He tried to speak but lost his voice in the sudden onset nerves. He cleared his throat, stood up and tried to fight back the overwhelming feeling of stupidity. He forced a smile against his reddened face and reached his hand out to the girl. "Hey there. My names Corbin Sullivan but more people just call me Sully." He felt a tug on his leg and looked down to see Piplup pulling on his trousers. The pokemons eyes were wide open as it said it's name, pointing towards the girl. "And this is Piplup." Piplup let out a happy wail at being introduced, not wanting to be left out.
@PrinceAlexusIll be Photoshopping a Welsh flag and pole into the picture I've linked to for his house

If you need me to adjust anything at all just let me know.
CS is basically complete. May add bits as I think of stuff or change formatting but on the character side of things it is effectively complete.

Raccoon General Hospital




Connor watched on as the Doctor spoke out across the reception area, each and every person paying complete attention. He understood the situation, everyone desperate to see their loved ones attended too. If he'd been there with one of his kids he'd have been fighting people to get to the front of the queue. Fortunately Hicks was an adult and his bite was only on the arm, albeit fair deep. Then with cracking thud the door near the doctor flung open impacting heavily on the wall. From the doorway stumbled a man in scrubs coated in a thick coating of what appeared to be his own blood. "I'll be back in a second Hicks." The injured cop responded with a weakend grunt of acknowledgement.

Crossing the reception Connor lost sight of the doctor behind the counter as the weight of her colleague dragged her towards the floor. Then the slow opening of the nearby double doors grabbed his attention. A woman emerged almost stumbling from the doorway, her neck was torn out and she shared the same glazed over look Connor had seen with Rico. The severely injured woman turned towards the counter and began to shuffle towards the doctor. "Shit."

As Connor broke into a sprint screams filled the reception area with people realising that something was wrong. With each step the noise seemed to ramp up to the point Connor couldn't hear himself think. Lifting himself off the floor Connor launched a kick towards the woman as she closed in on the doctor. The woman dropped to the floor hitting it hard enough for Connor to hear the thud. Within moments of hitting it the woman began crawling towards the doctor, blood filled saliva dripping from her gaping maw of a mouth. Kneeling down next to the woman the detective took a handful of her hair and pulled it back, giving her eyes the once over. His free hand touched her neck, the ice cold temperature of her skin sending shivers down Connors spine. No matter how much he tried he was unable to find a pulse on the undamged side of her neck. "What in Christ's name?!"

Then with an almighty tug the woman craned her head back towards Connor lunging forward at him. There was a horrific sounding tear as the hair seperated from the head of the woman. Her hands gripped on the detectives shoulders and pushed him backwards onto his backside. She began to crawl up his body as he scrambled to get back to his feet. Looking down at the woman was one of the scariest things he had ever experienced. Her pale, white eyes and bloodstained face slowly moving closer to his his was like something from a horror movie. Unable to break her grip he began to unload a barrage of stiff hooks to the side of her head, eventually delivering enough that it appeared to momentarilly stun her. Reaching down to his holster Connor pulled out his pistol and thrust it firmly into the mouth of the woman. With two pulls of the trigger the reception became completely silent.

Connor took a deep breath before pushing the dead weight off of his legs. He rose to his feet to look down at the now motionless woman. Horror was written across his face for everyone to see. As the seconds ticked by Connor focussed and turned to look out across reception, ensuring to show an expression of confidence rather than one of fear.

"My name is Sergeant Connor Sullivan with the RPD. There appears to some sort of drug induced mass hysteria driving people to acts of violence throughout the city." Connor didn't even know if what he was saying was true, that woman was dead. Stone cold dead and he knew that. What could he say to everyone? That the woman was some sort of zombie? He needed to keep everyone grounded in some semblance of reality. "I need you all to remain vigilant and report anything suspicious to me while we are here. Thank you." There were whispers and mumbling across the room but Connor was more determined to check on the doctor. Her colleagues body was still resting on her as he approached.

"My names Connor but most people call me Sully." The casual approach was something he often employed when people lost someone they were close to or atleast knew. He didn't know if it made things even remotely easier but he had to try something. "Let me help you with him." With that Connor leant down towards the dead man to help the doctor lay him down flat on the floor.
