It's not going to be alive for very long if the GM doesn't step out of hiding.

No seriously, what's up with that? He's online pretty often yet he's been inactive for the last four days. Been even longer since he's posted here.

Argh, I'll post a WIP of my sheet. All I need is to finish writing the biography and I'll be done but holy shit it's late how did it get to be so late

Edit1: Fell asleep in the middle of the day, barely woke up. Fixed broken formatting.
Edit2: Finals, probably not going to finish this for a bit, another day or two at most.

WIP In Peace

Appearance: Rosalyn Hayes
Name: Rosalyn Hayes (Formerly Terese Silvia)
Gender: Female
Age: 33
Biography: It's rare that an Orre native, much less one from The Under, gets very far in life outside of Orre, but here she is. Granted, she did have some... help from a less-than-reputable organization, but that part of her life tends to go unmentioned and unknown. See, in her home"town" of The Under, you either took a chance living in the lawless slums, or you joined Cipher. She chose the latter. She was fairly young when she joined Cipher as a grunt. She roughing up some of the people of The Under, threatened anyone who conflicted with Cipher's agenda. The basic grunt business. But she found that life too hectic and sought a position on the managerial side of Cipher. After all, even crime syndicates have to do their taxes. It wasn't an easy task, jumping from being a peon to an accountant, but somehow she managed to score a position keeping things in The Under under control. She picked up the art of bean counting fairly quickly from others, and the combat training she received as a Peon came in handy more than once.

It wasn't too bad, being with Cipher. Once you got past the mandatory training sessions, the easily-ignored propaganda, and the fact that most of the people of Orre hated your guts, there were plenty of advantages. Stable pay, people remembered your name, and the benefits were nice. She worked for a few years, helping Cipher handle their half-takeover of Orre indirectly from behind a stack of paperwork and a calculator. Of course, Cipher eventually fell at the hands of some kid from Team Snagem and the entire operation was disbanded. She didn't find it too difficult to get away with her involvement in the syndicate, as all paperwork was done in the name of her immediate superior and a direct link to her almost didn't exist. With some luck, she managed to hide among the hostages that were being held in the building and quietly escaped to the surface.

There's a funny quirk about people born in The Under, namely that they aren't technically citizens of Orre. The burial of The Under caused a stir as hundreds of former residents of The Under flooded to the surface and found themselves wanting citizenship. After the dust cleared, the woman formerly known as Terese Silvia emerged with a new face and a new name: Rosalyn Hayes, resident of Phenac City. There was a point where considered taking the first boat out, but something about Orre kept her there. She had to find a way to make ends meet now that she was out of job, so she turned to her skills and tried to settle down as a banker in Phenac City.

That is, until she found that she had an almost preternatural talent for Pokemon battles. It started with some practice fights at the Precept Center, then a tour of the various colosseums that were still standing after the Cipher incident, then Mt. Battle. News spread of the rising star from The Under at its usual slow rate, and in just two years she had gathered enough renown to catch the eye of the international battling league. She was invited outside of Orre to participate in various tournaments as a representative of her home region, and she did... fairly well. Not the best by any means, but good enough to place third in a major tournament. She decided that she enjoyed this life of battle, and began a journey around the world to experience more than a dry desert.

During her journey throughout the various regions of the world she made many valuable allies, human and Pokemon alike, and ~~~~~~~WRITE/EDIT LATER TOO TIRED RIGHT NOW
Personality: To most people Rosalyn comes off as cold, calculating, and ruthless in her pursuit of success, and they're mostly correct. She tries to keep an image of complete professionalism at all times and as a result comes off as overly serious, but she isn't exactly adverse to socializing. She is strict, critical, and has very little tolerance for failure, although she is more than willing to help people overcome their shortcomings- assuming they come to her, of course.

She is very much involved in current events, especially any that involve Cipher. She can't take any chances, she already gets a bit jumpy whenever Cipher comes up in conversations.
Notable Possessions: A keystone placed inside of an armband. She received both the keystone and a Sablenite from Steven as a gift of good will after she joined the GLU. Also handy for holding her Holo Caster.
Battle Theme: Cipher Admin Theme
Other: As far as anyone but her knows, she's just a woman from The Under, formerly employed as an assistant for a small shop that was destroyed in a Cipher attack. She will do anything to erase any remaining trace of her old life.

Pokemon Team.
Rosalyn's team has grown increasingly large over the years, to the point where she's having difficulty keeping track of it. She's entrusted most of her idle team members to the various caretakers around campus, but there's three Pokemon that she always keeps around her for one reason or another.

Pokemon Species: Sableye
Gender: Male
Nickname: Laine
Ability: Keen Eye
Personality: What can you say about Laine? He's a typical Sableye, with all the greed and underhandedness that it entails. Regardless, he appears to be much smarter than most other Sableyes and remains unwaveringly loyal to Rosalyn. Has been trained not to steal things from others, but sometimes the urge is too strong.
Signature Move: Shadow Sneak
Appearance: Not very different from the average Sableye, although frequent consumption of high-quality gemstones has made his gems particularly transluscent. Has a matching armband, which holds a Sablenite.
Other: Laine was the first Pokemon Rosalyn raised. She was given him when she first joined Cipher, thankfully before the shadow Pokemon program had taken off. He was her partner in crime for the brief time she was a Peon, and the Sableye's wit and greed made him a valuable asset in her later life. Capable of Mega-Evolving.

Pokemon Species: Sigilyph
Gender: Male
Nickname: Straid
Ability: Magic Guard
Personality: Personality would certainly be a very generous word to assign to Straid. He shares a trait that is common among most Sigilyph, in that he is completely emotionless. The perfect bodyguard, if you were to ask Rosalyn.
Signature Move: Flash, when used at a higher power, is rather effective at incapacitating both trainers and Pokemon alike.
Appearance: A fairly typical Sigilyph. Wears a red band around his left "wing" to show his purpose as a security Pokemon.
Other: Straid was met at the Desert Resort in Unova, when Rosalyn felt that she was lacking a psychic type. Being taken away from the Relic Castle has caused it to imprint on Rosalyn, marking her as being under his protection. Has been "employed" by the school as a quasi-security officer, silently patrolling the halls after dark in watch for trespassers. Despite lacking emotions, can still serve as a medium for psychic communication. Always scanning the immediate area with his psychic powers, resulting in an unsettling feeling of being watched at all times. You get used to it.

Pokemon Species: Drapion
Nickname: Belle
Ability: Battle Armor
Personality: Belle is certainly an oddball Drapion. She's often seen in a state of relaxation and zen until she's either disturbed or ordered to do something by Rosalyn. Even when she's disturbed, she remains passive unless the disturber is being particularly annoying. Or unless her master tells her to hurt something, she's fine with doing that.
Signature Move: Acupressure/Poison Jab
Appearance: Big, intimidating, and certainly dramatic. Her claws are ususally covered by a thick blue cloth to avoid any unfortunate accidents involving poison.
Other: Belle was the first Pokemon Rosalyn personally caught, back when she was still a Cipher peon. She had found Belle scuttling around near one of the abandoned buildings in The Under, just sort of standing there. Rosalyn saw her chance and threw a stolen pokeball. Belle submitted surprisingly easily, and now she serves as the muscle of the group.

I was mostly asking because I wanted to make a character that had a history with Cipher. Wouldn't want to do that and then find out that Cipher hasn't even done anything yet.

Just because you're qualified to man a gym doesn't mean you're qualified to teach at a university.

So uh, how long after the events of Colosseum/XD does this take place?

I dunno, TD went "missing", as in he's still online but hasn't been in the thread. Might as well post the sheet.

Though uh, if he doesn't come back we'll have to find out who's going to have to take over the RP. Maybe make a new one if enough people are still here.

pls no mega mence
i already have enough bad memories of that thing

Nah just joking. Though I do have a bit of a dislike of mega salamence after what it did to singles meta.

Alright, good to know about having a license to ass pull. Will try not to make things too far-fetched. So the Pokemon we list on the CS will be our signature pokemon, right?

Of Sea and Sky | Medieval Pokemon RP

As the massive flying Pokemon flew into view, Odessa nearly dropped her weapon at the sight, but she faintly recognized the Pokemon: Shade, god of death and guardian of the Umbraisis family. What was something like him doing here? And more importantly, why was it talking to her?


The odd sensation she'd felt returned and Odessa somehow understood that the words were coming from the beast. She'd heard of Pokemon such as it talking to people with their minds, but it was uncanny actually experiencing it. The Yveltal's comment didn't do much to dissuade her defensive stance, but... did it just express worry over Blain? A god, worried about what a codger like Blain could do?

Odessa quickly stepped behind the Abomasnow to hide her smirk and gave him a pat on the back. "Hey, calm down. We'll be fine." The Abomasnow complied and lowered his hands, the inert ice shards dropping to the ground. The Yveltal spoke again.



So, she was correct. What did the Umbraisis family want with her, and what would warrant sending their guardian? She stepped out from behind the Abomasnow with a more serious face and spoke directly to Shade.
"Shade, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Odessa Strauss, though I suspect you already knew that. What purpose would you have for being here? Does the Umbraisis family wish something from me?"

All I did was move the words around in paint.net and then fill in the empty space with the background colors of RPGuild's posts.

Edit: I also... accidentally lowered the quality of the image and ended up keeping it like that because the blurry words fit the context.

I'd be happy to make a teacher character, actually. Accepting any more people?

(Also Hibiki, King's Rock doesn't actually work with moves that cause flinching. Just saying.)
