Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

@Ambra I'll have to think about that one. I can make one available later on in the story though

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

So whats the actual story going to be like? Are the players all hanging around training in the Colosseum or is it more traditional with a journey taking us across the region itself? I barely remember the Colosseum game, and I do remember XD pretty well, but I definitely recall them being very different from the usual style of pokemon adventures and I'm just checking to see what we're actually going to be doing here.

@Ceta de Cloyes

We are going to be traveling the region. It's going to be more traditional @Vexxed Vex approved. Welcome to Shadows of Orre

Hey, may I join?

@Ambra

Absolutely

A character for your consideration:

The SlakKing of Phenac

"Haven't you heard the story of the Torkoal and the Scorbunny?"

---

=-NAME-=
Noel Jameson

=-AGE-=
15

=-APPEARANCE-=
Black Hair
Blue Eyes
5'11"
Thin, but decent physique.

=-PERSONALITY-=
Light-hearted and chill, Noel takes life one step at a time. Being the patient sort, he's quite helpful and an excellent teacher that doesn't irritate easily: Instead brushing aside failure and mistakes, seeing them as something to learn from instead of linger around and regret about. He often pulls quotes from books he's read, or references stories when he's making a point: Always trying to provide examples for why he's got a grasp on a situation.

This might make you see Noel as mature; And for his age, he probably is. But just as much as he has a tendency to quote books and look after others, he also likes to joke around and tease others on occasion to amuse himself. He doesn't mean any harm by it, though sometimes it can be misunderstood as such. Or just somewhat irritating, though those that know Noel well enough might understand that said irritating is part of numerous mindgames that make up his battling technique.

Noel isn't exactly what you'd call an active battler: He's very reactive, and where he slacks in physicality he makes up for in his mind, a strategist beyond dodging and attacking. His constant napping and rest is a form of meditation. A way to clear his mind and relax despite the lack of peace around him. Understanding the potential of sleep itself has lead him down a unique trainer path that might reveal a staggering amount of potential.

While he does gain benefits from resting, he only adapted this habit over a fight with constant stress due to his habit of taking responsibility. It's highly possible if he was to set out on his own and venture out of his usual life that he'd become more active; That's a theory that hasn't been tested by Noel himself just yet, however.

=-HISTORY-=
Noel has spent most of his life in Phenac City. His mother, a nurse at the local Pokemon Center. His father, a teacher at the Pre-Gym Academy. Both doing their duties for the city, it inspired him to grow into a support role for those around him: While he wasn't a doctor, he learned basic first-aid. While he wasn't a teacher, he did absorb the knowledge from his classes to teach to the youth around him. Known as a 'hero among the little folk' or a 'big brother' for the kids of Phenac, he spends his days napping in-between attempts at being productive.

While not a heavy battler, Noel did occasionally find himself facing off against another trainer in a conflict. It wasn't always for fun; It was sometimes someone his age trying to bully the younger children, or an out-of-town adult trying to cause trouble in his city. In times like these the competence of the young man and his Pokemon partner sky-rocketed; He didn't usually show much eagerness to battle, but with something at stake, it proved to be a very good motivator.

All of his efforts satisfy him and he does feel accomplished with his actions daily, but his constant insistence on continuing has driven him to be quite stressed and fatigued. At the rate he was going, he'd feel like an old man by the time he was a legitimate adult. And that wasn't healthy. Despite that being apparent, he pushed himself anyways, only occasionally eyeing a potential way to get away for awhile: He's needed a reason. Something to dedicate himself towards if he were to take a journey outside the city. And little did he kniw that such a reason was more urgent and close than he could have thought...

=-REASON FOR TRAVELING TO ORRE-=
Character is already a resident of the Orre region.
Noel has been contemplating a method for leaving Phenac for a few years, but never found himself a true purpose for leaving. As of the moment, his reasoning isn't too far beyond 'Vacation from home'. But he's vulnerable to being presented with a much more serious goal for his travels, if he encounters a reason to partake in such a thing. He serves as not much more than a traveling history book and on the road cooking/nursing aid currently for those he encounters.

=-OTHER-=
Battle! Vs Trainer Noel

The Little Dreamer, Komala

=-NICKNAME-=
Snooze

=-PERSONALTIY-=
Snooze spends all of his time asleep, quite literally: Constantly tossing, turning, and snoring. It doesn't acknowledge others unless it feels a bond towards them or feels threatened, the latter of which it takes action without remorse. Despite being asleep, it seems to have a connection with Noel where they seem to communicate. Especially when they're sleeping in the same location. While it doesn't often show that it can take note of what goes on outside it's own realm of sleep, it does occasionally show affection to it's trainer.

=-HISTORY-=
They say that Komala are terrible Pokemon for trainers to use. THey sleep from hatching to when they pass; Seemingly unaware of almost everything. But ever since Noel found the small Pokemon napping under a tree in Phenac, and he took a nap beside it, they began to instantly grow attached to one-another. It was captured as his first ever Pokemon, and while battling was something they tended to avoid, they began to show a certain prowess when working together that was impressive. They seem to hold a connection beyond normal, awake state. And for the last few years they've grown into not only excellent friends, but an amazing team.

Welcome to Shadows of Orre

Pokemon Colosseum type RP based in the Orre Region

OOC is now up! Looking forward to seeing the characters.

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

Welcome to Pokemon: Shadows of Orre!

Information about the Region

Shadows of Orre is an RP set in the Orre Region which is a region that at one point had barely any Wild Pokemon and was mostly covered in desert. Things have begun to change in the past five years after the Second Shadow Pokemon Crisis. Wild Pokemon are slowly becoming more common and previously barren desert areas are slowly becoming more verdant and capable of supporting various Pokemon types.

The previous individual Colosseum challenges have been replaced with the Orre Colosseum League a few years after The Second Shadow Pokemon Crisis. If you are able to defeat the three Colosseum trainers of each Colosseum, you gain the right to battle the Colosseum Battle-Master. Should you manage to defeat an individual Battle-master, you gain a substantial cash prize. If you are able to defeat the entire Colosseum League you still gain a substantial cash prize but you also are allowed to choose a single Pokemon from a choice of three.

You are also give the opportunity to battle the Colosseum League Battle-leader, a mysterious individual that is spoken of in hushed tones. Those who have met him are not allowed to speak of him. What type of Pokemon he uses, what type of man he is, it's all unknown.

Cipher is still active in Orre but to a much lesser degree and are much less of a threat. With much of it's wealth gone and many of it's members scattered to the wind after the Second Shadow Pokemon Crisis, it seems as though they are sticking around Orre simply out of spite.

Rules

Max of six Pokemon at a time. Obviously. Players are allowed to have Ten Pokemon total in the RP. This may change later on.
You are allowed to use the Pokemon storage system later on in the RP once they have more than six Pokemon. Players will have to come up with a password to access their individual Pokemon in the storage system.
Romance is allowed, keep it PG-13. If it starts getting naughty, fade to black.
If you want to battle another player, I'd recommend doing a collab post.
Have fun!

@Chev

I'm wondering for the sake of backstory I'm working on: Are we intended to get starters when the RP starts, or will we be okay to have a Pokemon already?

@AmpharosBoy

You are okay to have a Pokemon already.

Thanks for expressing interest :)

Looks like we have enough people, I'll try and get the OOC thread up tonight so those who want to join can put some characters up. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with :)

@Hitman

Thank you for expressing interest :)

If we can get one more person to join we should be good to go

Pokemon Colosseum type RP based in the Orre Region

@Yankee
Thanks for the tentative interest.

Going to have to keep it vague at the moment, but to put it simply, the remnants of Cipher are still hanging around Orre causing trouble but the people of Orre are about to deal with a much larger threat from a different region that even Cipher in their prime would have had trouble dealing with.

The characters will have their own motivations for traveling to the Orre Region but I do plan on adding some interesting changes to certain aspects of the region to try and attract people to the region. The Colosseum challenges will be changed quite a bit for example.

@AmpharosBoy
First of all, thanks for the interest :)
Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness were two of my all time favorite Pokemon Games when they first came out and right now they still rank in the top 3 spots on my list.

Truth be told, I hadn't seen an Orre based RP in a while so I figured it was time to change that. Yes, we are allowing generations past Gen 3. :)
