Clint Robins

Name

Clint Robins

Age

44

Place of Residence

119 Poplar Lane

Personality Traits

Family-Oriented: While not a man with many friends, Clint is the embodiment of a family man. He sees family as the most important thing in his life. He's fiercely defensive and loyal towards them and feels a lot of loss from the deaths of his parents and wife. His bond with his daughter is the thing he holds closest to his heart, and with the last contact he had with her being before the fog, he has no idea if she's still alive.

Workaholic: Clint has always had a strong work ethic. This is a product of the environment he was raised in. He's a strong believer in the idea of earning your keep, and as a result often judges people based on their work ethics. As he's grown older this has taken on a different meaning, as throwing himself into a work has become somewhat of a coping mechanism.

Outdoorsy: Clint loves the outdoors, whether it's camping, hunting, fishing or hiking. As a result he's acquired an interesting array of survival skills, such as animal tracking, firearm utilization and identifying and equipping proper fishing gear. He's no Bear Grylls but he can handle himself.

Simple: The best way to describe Clint is simple. He's an old fashioned man that likes everything in his life to be basic. He's easily satisfied and there's a lot of things he doesn't understand, and when things get too complicated he can get frustrated. This can extend from things like newer technology to other people. He's straight forward and appreciates it when people are the same way to him.

Background

Clint grew up on a farm a few hours west of Hvass as the youngest of three brothers. He learned to work hard at a young age and earn his keep. His father was also an avid outdoorsman, and brought his boys north with him for monthly excursions to hunt, fish or camp. By the time he was 17, both of his older parents had passed away, which left Clint and his brothers on their own. They left as the years went by and they started families of their own. This left Clint on his own with the farm, but not for long.

In his early 20s, he met a young woman from Chicago named Alice and they hit it off. She took every opportunity she could to get out of the city and go fishing or camping with him, and they'd go on to get married. They quickly had a daughter they named Savannah. From there, Clint lived the ideal family lifestyle on his old farm. He had everything he wanted, living a lifestyle he enjoyed the way he was raised with a family he loved very much. This came to an abrupt end when Alice tragically died in a car accident. It was heartbreaking, but brought Clint and Savannah closer together. Eventually it was time for Savannah to go to university, and she moved to Chicago to do so. This left Clint on the farm by himself, and he realized he just couldn't handle the upkeep on his own. He tried to see if either of his brothers would take it off his hands but they'd already settled in to new jobs in new towns, so he decided to sell it and move to the nearby town of Hvass. The decision was painful, as Clint felt in a way he was selling the memories he had with his family, but with the money he made off of the sale, he decided to start his own business. Fueled by his memories with his wife and his father, he opened an Outdoor Equipment Store so he'd still be working with something he was comfortable with. While he enjoyed his work, with his daughter in Chicago, he didn't like returning to an empty house every night. He started working himself to the bone and spending nights sleeping in the back of the store. The night of the fog was one of those nights.

@balthazar007 Appreciate it, and that's my bad I was looking for some kind of Pokémon stand-in for an orca. I'd appreciate a pokemon list for the rocky mountains and the general midwest

Pokemon: Earth 2.0

Nathan Stonewell

Puget Sound, WA, United States

Nathan sat in the sand, overlooking the scenic beauty of the ocean through his binoculars. A thick fog hung over the dark water and the earthy scent of rain filled the air. The shopkeeper in Seattle had given him directions to this exact spot, but so far he had little luck. Then finally, he saw what he came for, as he took notice of a small pod of wailmer splashing about in the water near a small peninsula.

"Alright! Come on guys," Nathan shouted as he took off running. Grover woke up to see his trainer and Jet running through the sand and swiftly joined them. The trio ran down the length of the beach to the narrow, forested penninsula. Nathan put his finger to his lips, for his pokemon to be quiet, and he got on his hands and knees. He crawled over the moss, dirt and dead pine needles to reach the edge, overlooking the water. He was within a few metres of the nearest wailmer. It was smaller than he expected, but fairly cute and a brand new pokemon to him nonetheless. He pulled off his backpack and fumbled through it before finding his pokedex, which he used to register the whale pokemon into his catalogue. Between his time as a ranger and his time since on the road, he'd managed to close out the Pacific Northwest section of his pokedex.

As Nathan moved back to the beach, it was time to charter their new course. He pulled out a crinkled map of North America and laid it on his backpack like a table. He pulled out a black marker and drew a large check over the areas of British Columbia, Washington and Oregon.

"Where to next?" Nathan asked his pokemon as he observed his map, "We could head up north and knock out Alaska and the Yukon before winter."

"Turtwig." Grover said in protest.

"I know you don't like the cold but we gotta do it at some point. How about... California?"

"Buizel!" Jet said in agreement.

"We could follow the Rockies south and eventually work our way out east. I hear New Orleans is famous for it's ghost types, what an adventure that would be... alright it's decided. Let's get back on the road!"

"Buizel." Nathan looked down and saw he was covered in dirt from crawling. "Alright, one quick swim to clean up first."

Nathan Stonewell

Name: Nathan Stonewell
Age: 44
Home: Vancouver, British Columbia,Canada.
Appearance:

Nathan is generally clad in his hiking gear, wearing a T shirt, shorts, hiking boots, a green bandana on his forehead and sunglasses. He also generally has a backpack on. Among his other gear, he carries a toque, a thin jacket and a pair of jeans for colder weather.

Personality: He's fairly intelligent and well read, especially in topics relating to the world as a whole, the environment and wild pokemon. Despite this, he's not exactly the scholarly type. He's a very hands-on person, confident in his own abilities and skills. As his past would suggest, he's a true outdoors-man that likes to engage with nature rather than observing from a far. This bleeds into his strong sense of wanderlust. As a result of his strong desire to see the world, he has little sentimentality and is often moving from place to place. Despite this, he's a person that enjoys the journey just as much as the destination. Nathan can be a little brash or impulsive , but this stems from the boyish enthusiasm he has towards nature rather than some kind of arrogance. He's a very particular type of person that gets along with others that have a lot in common with him, but otherwise can be fairly standoffish and poor at reading social situations. He finds people to be complicated and at times frustrating. While not completely socially inept, he does prefer to company of pokemon to other people.


Biography: Nathan was born in Vancouver to his mother, a local professor in pokemon ecology at the local university and his father, a pokemon ranger who was the primary authority of a nearby provincial park. As such, Nathan was born into a family that fed his passions for pokemon at a young age. When Nathan was still young however, his father accepted a position in a new park near Revelstoke. As a result, most of Nathan's memories involved their rural home in the middle of the boreal forest and Nathan loved it. After graduating high school, he immediately returned to Vancouver to study population ecology and follow in his father's footsteps as a park ranger. He was successful in this endeavour, and at the age of 37 found himself working at a provincial park on Vancouver Island. He catalogued pokemon species, tracked their populations, observed their behaviours and patrolled the borders to stop poachers. It was a job he very much enjoyed, but he felt like he wanted something more. While enjoying his life within British Columbia, he dreamed of journeying through desert, trekking through mountains and exploring rain forests. He wanted to see the world and all the pokemon that called it home. After sitting on this desire for a few years, he finally decided to take the step he needed to take, and became a pokemon trainer. Now, on the road with no particular destination in mind, the next stage in his life begins.

Pokemon:
"Grover" Turtwig- Male - Level 11
Grover is a very gentle and loving pokemon who was Nathan's selected starter. He can be a bit dimwitted but is fiercely loyal. He's also fairly affectionate with every new person he meets.

"Jet" Buizel - Male - Level 8
Jet is in a lot of ways the opposite of Grover. He's mischievous , often getting into trouble, and confident to a fault. He can have a bit of an attitude, and is a real performer when it comes to battles, always wanting to show off.

Hey!

Hey, I'm Josh but I'll probably come up with a more unique username down the line. I've enjoyed writing for most of my life but with university, I haven't found the time or had the drive to write as much as I'd want. I see this as an opportunity to get myself back into writing with more regularity and flex my creative muscles. I've dabbled in role playing in other forums I've been a part of, but for the most part I'm relatively new to it. My preferred genres generally involve world building like post apocalyptic stories or fantasy, as well as horror and sci-fi. In this context I'm also interested in role plays affiliated with existing media I enjoy, like Pokemon or Marvel. I look forward to getting more involved in the guild as a whole !

Pokemon: Earth 2.0

I like this idea a lot. Could I get some information on the starter options/wild pokemon lines in a handful of areas? I'm mainly interested in Anchorage, Vancouver and New Orleans
