Bio
Old and beaten hat, don't take anything I say to heart because it only rarely comes from my own. Been waving around this RP stick for 12+ years, and if there's one thing I've learned it's that keeping things interesting is top dog. I'll take a character who is interesting and challenging for both me and the plot over the same group of misfit archetypes any day of the week. Plots follow the same rules. Unless it breaks the mold somehow, I'm just not that into it.

Whee. If it's still going down, I'm still in.
Yep yep yep.
Nothin', though I don't really talk to anybody anyway, so that's the same as it was before >.<
"Patience" is my middle name, so it's cool. Although "Way too much free time right now" is my other middle name, so I'm antsy too, haha.
Aria humbly nodded her head towards Bell. Of course, the other girl echoes what was going on in Aria's own head. But she wasn't about to double back and explain herself. It would just be a waste of time. For a moment, she allowed herself to not think very fondly of the girl, but dismissed that feeling for now.
However, when pokemon were brought up, it was a different story. Aria's eyes shone brightly as Bell mentioned her two Lucarios, and she felt a little jealous. Suddenly it seemed okay to want to be the other girl's best friend, and all was forgiven.
She listened patiently when everyone else talked about their teams. People could go on at great length about their trusted partners, she knew all too well, and it was best to be respectful when they were talking. Internally, she ran simulations of battling with each of them, who would be the best to send out with whom, who could cover her weaknesses and add to her strengths. She was fairly satisfied by the results she was coming up with, but on an actual battlefield, simulations could be shattered quickly and easily. Here, now, was not the time or place to bring them up.
"Which... leaves me I suppose? Hm... well, perhaps it's not as special and unique as some, but you can count on my team to watch your back. We're a sturdy bunch." Since it seemed appropriate to let a pokemon or two out of their balls, she casually tossed an ultra ball onto the floor, and out came her familiar partner, in all her knee-high glory.
"This is Titania, my Mawile. She is my most trusted friend. She shouldn't bite you unless you threaten her, but I'd be careful. I'll tell you that if you already dislike me, you'll have the same problem with her. And unlike Titania, I don't hit like a truck loaded full of bricks." Noticing she was being talked about, the little creature puffed out her rather unimpressive chest and snapped her jaws a few times for show.
"...Idiot. You're not impressing anybody. Anyway, as for the rest, I have Steven the Metagross and Sterling the Skarmory who flew me in. They're tougher than any other pokemon I've ever seen. They won't die, no matter what. You can count on them.
"Next is Neige, my Froslass, and Krieg the Scolipede, and rounding out this group is Gardevoir. I don't think I'll talk about them right now, but they'll come out if I need them to... but watch your back around Gardevoir... don't trust her, whatever you do."
As far as team synergy, it was fairly obvious that she meshed well with Bell. They both had a Gardevoir, and her pokemon were geared towards offense rather than defense. They would balance out well together. Rian's pokemon were more balanced, but it was hard for Aria to say how well they might fight together. Desmond's pokemon were a well-balanced team on their own, and again, it was hard to say what sort of chemistry he might have with the others, but he seemed to be making a concerted effort to introduce some team spirit to the group, which is more than Aria could say for herself.
They were a motley crew, and since they each had at least one pokemon out, it was hard to resist the temptation of a battle, but Aria herself stayed quiet. She and Titania were the stoic type, and it was far easier to leave the talking up to everyone else. Just introducing her team was more socializing than she had done in over a month, and it had worn her down.

Hahaha. Hitting my poor girl right where it hurts, I see.
Weird. It was weird that the other girl knew anything about these supposedly ancient weapons. Very weird. Super weird.
It didn't bother Aria so much, but it did send alarm bells off in her head. Aside from the quiet girl's musings, she seemed to not be particularly interested in the introductions that Desmond had started, which had now been interrupted twice if you counted the newcomer barging into the room. Aria herself had shrugged off the latter occurrence. It wasn't like it was her room. People could do what they wanted with it.
"I guess it would be best if we had something to call each other. My name is Aria. If nobody's in a hurry to die or run away, then I hope we'll all get along. However, I'm here to fight, so if you're not strong, you should leave the fighting to the people that are."
That was the second time that she had failed at trying to give a polite warning. Of course she just sounded condescending this time. She didn't mean to imply that people who weren't good at fighting were useless. Everyone had strengths and weaknesses, and Aria wasn't so naive to think otherwise. "Please don't die! is what she screamed in her head, but her words failed her.
...Whatever, it would have to do. Friends were made with time, and first impressions only meant so much. There was much struggling to do still, and they would be allies whether they wanted to or not.
Thinking about strategy, Aria would definitely be more useful if they were fighting indoors or underground. Her pokemon's solid defenses gave her the advantage in tight quarters over smaller and more mobile birds or the like.
"I'll reserve judgment until we fight for real. I'd like to know everyone else's names, until that point. Especially this one," she finally turned to eye up the newcomer. He had a slowking with him, and quite honestly the two seemed like a matched pair. "You weren't sent in with the group. Are you military?"

Wow, I sank into a Blazblue coma for a day and a half and I come back to three pages? Well hot damn, this is a way bigger group than I've ever RP'd with. I'm gonna be taking a short.break to wrest my poor wrists then I'll be reading through stuff hardcore. Gotta get some inspiration~ Also if you wanna add me on skype, my name is Ghurdrich. Just tell me you're from here or whatever (I don't really care about my privacy enough to PM anybody. I don't respond to requests from people I don't know anyway.)
Sorry if you're waiting for my post, it was half done in a notepad doc on my computer and then Blazblue came out >.< I'll be able to finish it up shortly.
ShonHarris said Don't think of anything I say as criticism.
Definitely no problem on that front. Criticism is a good thing. Complaints are what's bad. Criticism helps us all get better :D
