There was one thing looming in his mind at this point. Did he feed Jack this morning? Shit, he didn't did he? Oh well. It wasn't going to cause much harm. He thought, Probably. Shit, he really should go home soon. But it's hot. Really hot. Now that he thought about it, he had a bunch of stuff to do, did he find the photo of the class yet? Did Ms. Deville have any tea left? He needed a spot of tea, perhaps some scones would be nice. He sighed and pulled his shirt fabric off of him, it stuck and clung on to his thin frame, worse thing was that he felt disgusted by it. Every time he felt disgust, he would remember the nights where his father would whisper in his ear, vile words, haunting him, words that the never stopped ringing after a week. Like he was an evil creature made out of maggots, as if they were crawling under his skin, trying to dig out. His blood was the only place they were satisfied with. Ah, he could feel it itching, again. He needs to scratch, it itches, it itches... It itches, it really itches. It really really itches. It won't stop itching. Itching, itching. Make it stop itching... It itches. It itches underneath his throat.

SPLASH.

Without as so much as realizing it, everything was thrown onto the ground. The bags he was carrying that contained the soda, the juices. Everything. He could hear the sound of the liquids bursting out in a gassy leak. Ah, his hands were on his neck, nails on the verge of being dug deep. He somehow was brought back to reality through the hissing sounds of the soft drinks. He really shouldn't be remembering crap like that. It wasn't necessary. This was why he hated the heat. He blinked those brown eyes for a moment. Shit, he had to go buy more now. He couldn't bring the drinks back like this. The bottles of wine and beer were cracked in pieces, shards gleaming in the light. Ah shit. Looks like Kirk's going to be a bit late for now. The old lady was gonna be breathing down his neck. He then went back to the store on his feet, grabbing the plastic bags and throwing them in a nearby bin on the way there.

And then he arrived at the door about an hour later. 2 hours late. The old lady ain't gonna be happy about this. He walked up through the school before reaching the building. He walked up onto the porch and was about to enterThere he met a woman, obviously rich, in style and a person who was up to date in everything. She was one of the classmates that joined him once wasn't it? Right, they had a complete buffet ready to go in the house. "Ehehe, hey there. You were once part of the class weren't you? Here, I'll open the door. Come right in, Ms. Deville will be happy to see you." He smiled in a way that made nearly every girl go "awwww" before he let the door open and called out. "Ms Deville! It's me, Dere- I mean Kirk. Sorry I'm late. I fell over and had to go back. Anyways, there's a young woman here, I think she was part of the class." Shit, he almost forgot his own name. Damn, he'd been so used to be calling Derek. With that thought in mind, he welcomed the girl in and went into the kitchen, noticing the dark red rag on the counter. As he placed the drinks in the fridge, he couldn't help but think.

It still itches.

My boyfriend was in hospital.He got discharged yesterday so by tomorrow I'll get a post up.

Cʟᴀss Dɪsᴍɪssᴇᴅ

Ah, sorry about this but looks like I'll be a caretaker for now. So sorry for holding you up. My boyfriend was in the hospital due to a car accident. He got discharged just yesterday, I've been caught up with that. Sorry about that. PULL ME INTO A POT A BOILING WATER. I DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE.

Appearance:


Name: Kirk Addison
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Role: unCaring Caretaker

Likes: Sweet stuff, seeing people smile, cake, anything British.
Dislikes:Repetitive stuff, Groundhog freakin Day, Time, Sad faces.

Personality: He's sweet for sure. Almost sickeningly sweet,one could say. He's barely seen without a smile plastered on his face. He's a hard worker, determined and headstrong. His voice is at the pitch perfect angelic sound one would expect from a good young man from him, slightly high and in the treble zone. Seemingly a bit childish, he loves to find the fun in everything and anything. He's carefree and accepts every change with open arms. If one squinted closely, they might be able to assume that all this good boy, cutesy behaviour was forced.

Then again, one can't always be happy.

Perhaps it's a defense mechanism against what really hides underneath his cheery exterior. In reality, he's quite tongue in cheek, disturbingly selfish with things that make him happy, distorted and sly. This part of him, is really what he is, his fun habit of taunting people with knowledge they shouldn't even have, almost depressingly cynical, sarcastic and rude. With a lack of interest in anything besides the one person who cared for him, he shows how someone pushed off the edge could be brought back to a fate worse than any death. He's paranoid as well, fear takes over his mind quite a bit, only when he's alone though. When something clicks in his mind, something disturbs the peace a order he worked so hard for, he brings out a baritone voice, startlingly contrasting with the young face he has.

Relationships: Doesn't pursue much relationships. Ms. Deville is the one person he truly trusts.
Biography: Kirk had a hard life. He was always studying, studying, studying, studying. He just continued and continued. In fact, for most of his life, Kirk didn't even know what he would do in life. He didn't know what day, second or year he was in for quite a while. He just knew his routine of obeying his seemingly happy parents, eating when asked to eat and continuing to study for days and days on end. Ah, what was the answer to that question again? The formula isn't right, that was correct. He didn't even realize what world was he in. No questions asked. All he knew was studying was important. He never knew why and still to this day he still didn't understand the reasoning for continuing to study.

He didn't even realize his parents were drifting apart. He didn't realize his parent's relationship had slowly grown abusive, he didn't realize that his father was an alcoholic, he didn't realize that his mother was cheating on his father. He only realized when his father had come in and clung onto his back and begged for him to stay with him. The cycle broke, suddenly everything became clear. He'd been running away from the truth of what the world was, only clinging onto a fake idealistic world of senseless repetition. Kirk blamed himself for his mother leaving them. If only he'd just been less robotic and more human. In a few months, all of his mother's belongings that stayed in the house were smashed into pieces by a baseball bat. It's hard for a fourteen year old to face reality sometimes.

It's even worse when they're sexually assaulted in the next few weeks. The mirror image of a drunk man's wife was never a good thing. Neither was being the said mirror image. His father seemed to have no qualms at all about feasting on his own child. When Kirk thought about it, it lasted for so long, he forgot many time He then was sent to the school. His father last words to him were something along the lines of sending him off since it's easier. He met Helen there, ah the lady who always took care of him. In fact, he was grateful for his father for sending him to the school. He kinda forgot what really happened there, all he knew was that there was a young boy. He was then sent back to his father, who surprisingly still looked after him. Even with the occasional indecency. He never really got know why but in the end, he ended up graduating and took up a college course in nursing.

He was then stuck back into the same cycle yet again. Well it wasn't until he read a case list. Helen Deville. He then took the case and went to see his old teacher.
Other Notes: Has a slight lisp in his speech, accentuating his cuteness.

Take the Stage! - Pokemon Contest RP

"I made it! Yes! I'm at the Grand Festiv- UGH." There was no crowd cheering, no five ribbons that you earned. No epic combinations that you thought of and might have practiced 3 months to perfect. There was no judges giving you great scores, there was no filming crew. Just you and cold hard ground. Oh right, you should get your ass moving. Time to get out of bed and start getting ready for the Grand Festival, well that is after you earn five ribbons and travel all over the region and catch new Pokemon and all that crap that you see on every Pokemon Manual you might have read.

Basically, get the hell out of bed. I don't care how, haul yourself out if need be and hurry up and go on your journey to be a Pokemon Maste-. No, Top Coordinator! So, grab that first Pokemon, a few clothes and a bag, a PokeDex, a Ribbon Case and few Pokeballs and go show the world what you are made of. Go show the world how much of a Top Co-ordinator you can be!

Hello-lo! I'm here with a Pokemon Idea that probably has been done before. Basically, we are Pokemon Coordinators. You know, those type of trainers who value aesthetic appeal over straightforward battling? Wouldn't that be fun? We all are rookies hoping to make our dreams come true, even if it means we have to duke it out. I think it would be fun. So tell me? You wanna become a Top Coordinator with me?

Hello-lo! I was wondering if I could take the position of Caring Caretaker if said RPer doesn't respond? I happen to have the perfect character for that role and I am quite excited to try it out.

Kiku Kunazumi

Name: Kiku Kunazumi
Appearance:

He's a real baby-faced person. With a toned body and cute hazel eyes that curve downward he gives off the feel that just somehow screams "adorable." His height is is rather on the short side being 162cm and with a fair complexion he really does look two years younger then he should be. His deep chocolate brown hair just seems to defy gravity as with a little hair gel it goes from a shoulder length cut becomes a mountain. Like seriously, it looks like a valley of mountains. His face is a soft round shape and he has a button shaped nose that you can pinch and make it look like you're thumb, much like a baby's.

Gender: Male
Age: 17

Biography: Originally from the Sinnoh region, this kid was actually first starting out as a co-ordinator. Born in Snowpoint City, his first Pokemon he's ever remember having is a Glaceon that he's had since birth while his twin brother was attached with a Leafeon. Unfortunately, he was born as the younger twin, into a Pokemon yakuza family and was considered weaker of the two brothers and was then forced to move to Sunnyshore City to live with his uncle since having twin heirs was a bad omen. His uncle was a very competent coordinator. He then taught Kiku the basics of contests and he ended up loving it. Also around this time he had found a very weak Staryu on the beaches and ended up taking it to the Pokemon Center and eventually it ended up being a part of his team. He then decided and told everyone that he was going to be a coordinator.

However, he was part of a family who were very successful battlers, even his own twin brother was taking the battle route. For taking up contests instead of battling, he was ostracized and shunned from the family and considered as a failure for wanting to take up contests instead. That's what happens when you grow up in a Pokemon Yakuza family. So when he went on his contest journey, for around 6 months and you know what? He kicked major butt. In no time at all he had already earned five ribbons which not only made eligible for the Grand Festival, unheard of for a newcomer, but also for the Master Rank contests, only reserved for major competitors such as Fantina from Hearthome City. Also during this time a certain, quite mysterious woman dressed in black with lovely silky blonde hair had given him an egg as reward for his spectacular performance. Eventually, it hatched into a Togepi, a very cute one at that, which he soon raised into a Togekiss. Of course, his family still wasn't happy about that and wanted him to go into battling. Well except for his brother and a guard called Kasai, who openly admitted he was side for him over his family.

Why is he at the Gym Leader University? Well, he actually challenged Fantina to a battle, don't ask how even Kiku doesn't know himself, who gave a big thumbs up and told him he should go to said university due to how great his battling prowess was. He defeated her and earned the Relic Badge. He didn't believe her words and just wanted to continue his contest career but of course, his family was proud of him (for like the first time ever) and basically kidnapped him and forced him onto a ship to Orre, needless to say he wasn't exactly pleased to learn he was going to miss out on the Grand Festival. He thought to himself, if this was a place for manufacturing Trainers, than it was an uneeded institution that he would escape. If it was fun and could bring some screaming colour to the rest of the black and white world, then he could give it a try. Maybe. Just maybe give it try. Only if it was fun. But if not say goodbye Orre and hello Hoenn since in Sinnoh he was still gonna get flak for this crap about escaping school.

Personality: Can we say stuttering all the time? Since that's what he does 24/7, well on the outside at least. Generally shy, meek and submissive he's rather quiet and has a cute blush on his face. His presence isn't felt much most of the time and he always seems to be able whimper when scared. Is this all an act? Yes and no. He is rather shy and acts much like girl when he has to meet new people, however when people get to know him, the stuttering little kid seems to be a distant image. First of all, he is a snarky little sadistic asshole. Second, he can and WILL make a sarcastic comment when he wants to. Those combined make a very different image. Being shrewd and tactical, he's able to map what route is best and what's worse, all for his personal enjoyment as well as being a brilliant actor, he can even fake crocodile tears if he needs to.

Don't get him wrong though, he is a very good friend, when you finally earn that much needed trust, Kiku will love you and care for you. He will protect those in need and loves supporting others. Despite that, he will make decisions that help everyone as a whole even if it means putting someone at risk. He's also very short-tempered and when he gets mad... Well we'll see. He also resorts to violence rather quickly due to his upbringing.

Notable Possessions: His light blue wristband that he wears. It has his first contest ribbon on it.
Battle Theme: you -destructive-

Pokemon Species: Starmie
Nickname: Rotation
Ability: Natural Cure - When the Pokemon switches out, it removes any status conditions it has been afflicted with. (BURN, FREEZE, SLEEP, PARALYSIS, POISON)
Personality: It's a star, so it HAS no personality. I'm joking of course, in actuality, it's a very rational Pokemon, even defying the wills of it's master for a better outcome. As such, this in turn makes it an also very observant starfish and is undoubtedly the leader of Kiku's team, possessing a charismatic charm and excellent leadership skills.
Signature Move: Hydro Pump
Appearance:


Pokemon Species: Glaceon
Nickname: Frostbite
Ability: Ice Body - Heals 1/16 of it's maximum health each turn in the hail.
Personality: A calm and docile cute little girl, Frostbite doesn't bite. Kiku just named her that to sound cool. Puns all intended. In any case, if Rotation was the father of the group (despite being genderless) then Frostbite would be the mother. She cares for everyone on her team as well as Kiku. It's quite obvious though, that she is very confident in her battling prowess and won't hesitate to go all Mama Pokemon if one hurts her teammates or Trainer.
Signature Move: Hail
Appearance:

She also has a collar like thing. That carries the second ribbon Kiku won.
Other: Always has an Icy-Rock

Pokemon Species: Togekiss
Nickname: Sora
Ability: Serene Grace - Bonus Effect occurrence chances double. King's Rock and Razor Fang flinch chances also increase from 10% to 20%
Personality: This boy takes over his trainer and is very mischievous. Loving to play pranks on poor other Pokemon, he loves to have fun and is hilariously outgoing. He also has quite a twisted sense of humor. However, he only does to gain attention is very lovable at heart, since most of the time, all his pranks are all harmless and he'll take responsibility if one goes just a little too far.
Signature Move: AIR FRICKIN SLASH
Appearance:

Other: Kiku gave it a King's Rock to hold. A KINGS ROCK.

I can help out. I've GMed a few RPs before but... they haven't been that successful. If anything, I'm a last resort.
