It was morning and the sun was shining brightly on the ocean. It would have been a glamorous sight, had Randy been looking. Instead he was bent over the railing of the ship, closing his eyes and trying not get sea sick...again. It was his first time ever taking a ship and the rocking of the boat was killing him. He took a few deep breaths to try and relax himself before the horn on the S.S. Bolt blared its warning call. Randy jumped back and groaned in relief. "Finally, I can get off this hunk of metal," he muttered under his breath as he stumbled back towards his room. He managed to get back to the hall where his room was before the stampede came. Everyone in the rooms around him were trainers-in-training too, so they were all eager to start their new adventures.

Randy managed to make it almost halfway to his room before he got shoved out of the way. He stopped and turned to yell when the person behind him refused to stop and collided with him. “Watch where you’re going!” he shouted heatedly as he turned around to face his second attacker. Unfortunately, that person was a little girl who looked scared out of her mind by this stranger. Randy scratched the back of his head, muttered a sorry and quickly moved on, not wanting to be known by his future peers as ‘that guy who yells at little girls’.

The little room he had been assigned to provided him cover from the onslaught of people that were still steaming towards the exit. He went and got his backpack from the corner of the room. It was a fairly big hiking backpack that his brother used in his travels. He gave it to Randy with the advice to take just that bag, as it was important to travel light. Randy took that advice and packed his spare clothes, a pair of shoes, some food and other supplies and tools. That, in addition to his current gray t- shirt, jeans and work boots, was all he brought. He couldn’t take as much as he wanted to but thought that the trade-off was indeed worth it. He left his room and saw the hallways had returned to a normal state. Randy jogged to the exit, determined not to be left behind when everyone received their first pokemon. Even worse, he thought as he bounded down a flight of stairs, he could get stuck on the boat and have to take a return trip. Soon enough he emerged and stepped onto the docks. He immediately noticed the group of people around a couple fellows in lab coats, so Randy assumed that they were the ones to talk to.

Somebody was complaining they hadn’t gotten their pokemon yet, Randy noticed as he approached the group. He was not a very big fan of complainers and he had only just got off the boat without being that late. “Take it easy boss,” he said with a smile, “we just got here. Ain’t like anyone else is gonna go beat the gym leaders right now.”
Sorry I haven't posted yet, work has been keeping me pinned down. I'll get one up later today though.
Can I submit a CS as well? I've wanted to jump in on a Pokemon RP for a while.

Name: Randy Thorburn
Age: 16
Trainer Class: Ranch Hand/Cowboy
Appearance: Randy is just under six feet tall and weighs about 180 pounds. Working outside on a farm has given him both muscle and tanned skin. He has very short black hair and the makings of a small, teenage beard. His brown eyes, while friendly, are usually hidden behind a pair of sunglasses. Likewise, his hair is almost always covered up by an old and beat-up cowboy hat. When not wearing these objects, it is far clearer to see that Randy's ears are a bit bigger than normal.

Style and fashion not being high on Randy's priority list, most of his clothes are fairly similar. A majority of his shirts are just plain t-shirts, but he owns a few flannels as well. In colder weather Randy prefers to wear a black heavy-duty jacket given to him by his family. His selection of pants basically extends to jeans and a few pairs of work pants, with little else breaking the trend. Not a fan of shorts, it is common to see him wearing pants in the hottest weather. He has one pair of black sneakers and one pair of brown boots for footwear. None of his collection is very flashy as he prefers clothes suited to work.

Personality: Randy is a hard-worker, first and foremost. If there's a job that needs to be done, don't expect him to rest until the work is up to his high standards. He is also very stubborn, refusing to back down about issues he is passionate about. Arguments happen often because of this, and surely aren't helped by his tendency to lose his temper. He is quick to anger but not very hard to calm down. Pride is also important to him and so he doesn't take insults very lightly. However, when in pleasant company, Randy is a kind and sociable guy. He is quick to trust others and make friends. His optimistic spirit and slightly meat-headed demeanor make him nothing but friendly to most other people.

Backstory: Randy grew up on a Miltank ranch that his father owned and operated. Him, along with his four siblings and mother, all lived and worked on the ranch. Randy's days were spent tending the farm and the animals, mostly physical outdoor labor that he grew accustomed to after a while. Make no mistake he loved his work and went to bed every night excited for tomorrow's tasks. This is where he grew his love for all things Pokemon. On the days where he did not work, Randy loved adventuring. He would explore the forest surrounding the ranch endlessly and developed a strong enjoyment of being outdoors.

His oldest brother left the ranch when Randy was twelve to go on a quest to become a Pokemon trainer. He had started off well and constantly sent letters home about his travels. Randy read these letters over and over to the point where he basically memorized each one. One day, the letters stopped coming and the family quickly got worried. Using the letters as a trail of places to follow, Randy's father went off in search of him. While he was gone Randy constantly imagined the worst and was so off-put he could barely work. Randy's father came home a week later with his trainer son in tow. He had been trapped under an avalanche on a mountain for two days before a few random hikers found and saved him. He had been recovering in the hospital when his father had come to bring him home. This only made Randy more determined than ever to become a successful trainer. When he saw the advertisements for the Willow League, he knew it was time for the start of his real career.

Favorite Pokemon Type: Rock/Ground/Steel...Anything to do with the Earth, generally.

My favorite color is green, in case you were wondering.
Name: Zachary Westbrook
Appearance: Zach is just over 5' 10" tall and weighs in at roughly 160 pounds.He has short, well-kept brown hair and a seemingly constant five o'clock shadow. In shape but lacking huge muscle mass, his body type is perfect for running and sneaking. His usual attire consists of a worn-out but rugged brown jacket and a pair of light tan cargo pants. He almost always wears boots as well. On his left forearm is a small tattoo of an ankh.
Bio: Zach grew up in the poorer part of a large city. With his mother and father both working multiple jobs just to get by, Zach had a lot of free, unsupervised time to himself. Him, along with his brother, began travelling the streets as pickpockets. They found they had a knack for it and continued for some time, stealing wallets and purses from unknowing citizens and tourists. Eventually they decided to move on to something bigger and so the two hatched a plan to rob a local shop at night when it was closed.

The night before they were going to pull the robbery, something woke Zach up from his sleep. It was a Spirit, and the first time Zach had ever seen one. The Spirit told him that his destiny could not be reached from his current path, and that there were greater things awaiting him than the crimes he was committing. The next morning, Zach told his brother that he was dropping out of the heist and encouraged him to do the same. Furious, his brother refused to listen to Zach and went on to attempt the robbery himself. He was caught, arrested and sent to jail with a heavy sentence. Zach worked countless odd jobs between then and his 22nd birthday, getting to know his Spirit, before finally applying to the Library.
Branch: Mercenary

Holder: Rook
Spirit: Anubis, protector of the Dead. He has the body of a man but the head of a jackal. His only clothes are a pair of white, flowing pants and a piece of striped headgear that goes from the top of his head to both sides of his neck. He also has a necklace that is a gold chain with an ankh attached to the front and multiple metal wrist and ankle rings. Surprisingly, Anubis is not all business and is actually quite relaxed for the most part. Zach has come to know Anubis for his quick wit and sarcasm.

Weapons/Spells:
Staff of the Pharaoh: A tall and skinny staff with a metal ankh on the top. Primarily used defensively to deflect weapons and send opponents off-balance, it can also be used offensively to smash foes.
[Active] Dune-kin: By focusing the magic of the staff, Zach can turn his own body to sand. In this state, the next two attacks that would hit Zach miss and deal no damage, and he can quickly move up to 2*AGI (meters) away. While in this state, Zach can deal no damage, nor do anything that sand can't do (open doors, use items). Cooldown is 5 turns.

Scarab: A short, silver scimitar, similar to the ones used by warriors in Ancient Egypt. Not good for stabbing but perfect for slicing. Lightweight yet durable and perfect for someone who's fighting style revolves around being quick and precise.
[Active] The Nile's Blessing: Utilizing the properties and fertility of the Nile River, Zach can heal himself of moderate wounds or someone else of light wounds. For this to work, water is required to be around or applied to the wound. Cooldown is 3 turns.

Talon: A long, wooden bow capable of shooting with tremendous range and force. Also comes with a quiver of seemingly endless arrows.
[Active] Secrets of Anubis: While active, the next person's body who dies from an arrow will disappear and leave no evidence behind. Useful for subtlety in dispatching a lone enemy. In addition, if the enemy's SPI is less than .7*SPI of Zach, Anubis can freely communicate with the dead person's spirit. Useful for retrieving important information, as Anubis is very convincing.

Skills:
Wallflower - LV 2
Binocular - LV 2
Night Vision - LV 1

Stats:
POW - 8
SPI - 4
AGI - 8

Well that's my character, anyhow. Let me know if I need to fix/adjust anything. I'm loving the world/plot of this RP so hopefully I can join in on a mission pretty soon, haha.
Hey all, I was wondering if this RP was still accepting new characters? If so I'd love to join up, I can have a CS done fairly soon.
