[IC] One Piece: Treasure is Precious (Mk 2)

Here's my CS
How does she look?

Melany Hunnir

Name:
Melany Hunnir

Age:
17

Species:
Human

Gender:
FeMale

Appearance:
Melanie looks pretty much like this

, but the pads in her armor are dark red. She'll usually wear a loose fitting dress over this when she's not in a battle type situation.

Weapons and/or Devil Fruit:
Melanie is trained in Nin-Ninjitsu a form of martial arts her parents learned in the East. Her weapon of choice is the Kunai which she uses for hand to hand combat, throwing, and scaling walls. Her greatest strength, however, would be her knowledge of chemicals which she uses to create a variety of weapons and potions. This includes: smoke bombs, flash bombs, concussive bombs, bombs filled with hallucinogenic gases, sleep gas bombs, etc, etc.

History:
Melanie was born to two loving parents who always hid something from her. Every day , for as long as she could remember she'd find them in the mornings looking towards the East, longing in their eyes. This went on till one day she woke up alone in a forest with a piece of paper and a kunai. It was in her father's hand writing. He explained who they really were, members of a clan assassins who'd escaped the old life when they learned her mother was pregnant. They missed their homeland and planned on taking her back, but first she needed to be ready, and so began her training.
The first month was survival in some ancient woods without anyone but herself for company. As far as forest went it wasn't especially dangerous, but there were always threats. Occasionally she'd find a note with tips, or loving words of encouragement from her parents. One time she got a new scarf for her birthday but that was it. After that her parents brought her back home and the real training began. This included four hours of intense physical training, four hours learning the ninja arts and ways, two hours studying biology, medicine, and chemistry, and an hour of intense meditations in the mornings, and the rest of the day would be spent on chores or if time allowed a walk through town.
One day her parents had a strange look on their faces. They told her to go town and gave her a long list of items she should pick up. She did, and upon her return she found both parents gone. The house had been burned down to the ground by such an intense fire even the stones were turned to dust. There was lots of blood and bodies but she didn't recognize any of them. Eventually she discovered a note that had been placed inside a deep gash one of her parents left. Their clan had found them and had taken them. There was money hidden nearby. She shouldn't try and find them. Since she wasn't blooded into the clan, the clan had no interest in her. She should enjoy what life she could have now. They were sorry to leave her and only regretted never showing her their homeland.
So she gathered her things, weapons and gear which was kept hidden a few miles away in an old cave, grab her money and set out to find her parents.

Also, I hate to be that "guy" but maybe some rules would help?
They don't have to be too specific but some general guidelines like how often are replies expected, reminders of common sense things like no God modding or metaplaying, and possible what would happen if said rules aren't followed. For example there's an rp I'm active in that's doing pretty good because if a player goes seven days without either posting in the IC or letting the GM know what's going on their character is killed off and a replacement is recruited at the start of the next arc. Which I think is the reason why its gotten so far.
sorry if this comes across as pushy. Just my two cents.
Either way I'm really excited about this rp. Love the one piece universe.

"Yeah." Almond agreed, walking to the door and holding it open for Haruki. "There's probably a lot more out there we need to check up on." He stepped outside and looked around. There were still people walking around, but their heads seemed to have gotten heavier as if suddenly everyone was starting to get sleepy. "This is too weird." Almond said as he started walking away from the pokecenter. "I could get a few people looking odd, because those would have to be the ones who have even a slight idea of what's going on, but for everyone to suddenly look so much like walking corpses." He shook his head. "It's too much."

He started walking and rubbed his chin as he did so. "Ugh. I could really use a shave. I don't mind a beard, or being smooth like a freshly born bottom but this stubble annoys me to no end." His eyes darted around as they walked. "Hey, if Spitfire belonged to Officer Jenny and had at least a single encounter with those shadow things, maybe it still has their scents and can take us to them?" He paused for a moment as he continued walking. "I mean, maybe it could lead us to the shadow things before they start attacking." Another pause. "That is of course is if nurse Joy was telling us the true about the time. I could just be paranoid but that whole time of day murders starting seemed too much for me? "

There was a gurgling sound from his stomach. He frowned and then looked at Walnut. The bulbasaur was looking up at him in what was clearly an expectation for a meal. "Hey, Haruki, this might be a stupid question but do you have any poke dollars for a meal? I'm starving!"

Sorry about being so slow lately. Kind of lost track of the papers I have to do and so its all up to the last minute to squeeze things through. I'll be able to get a post up tomorrow but they won't stop coming so irregularly until after Tuesday. Again, really sorry :(

"Weird deformed humans?" Chester's salt and pepper beard trembled at something behind his eyes. "Do-do you think those things naturally looked like humans, or were they taking the shape of human beings like how shadows take the shape of whatever that's between them and the light?"

Jim tilted his head in confusion. That was a strangely poetic description. "uh maybe. That could be it. We saw some shadow tanks when we were just leaving so I think the shadow analogy works better. Why?" Jim's own eyes narrowed.

Chester looked around. He took a deep breath and swiveled around on the balls of his feet. He pulled the blinds down in a desperate yank and then turned back to his guest. "I've been seeing things lurking around from time to time. At first I figured they were just dark type pokemon Inobody saw before, but there was something about them. I can't explain it. They would appear every once in a while, nothing too weird and then a few days ago I've been starting to hear screams." He swallowed hard. "These weren't the startled kind of screams you get sometimes, or even the back off kind of warning screams, but the last breath you get to exhale before something awful kind of screams."

...Oh, um... I thought you'd be making a new thread and was waiting for that to show up. ^^;

@Rin

Haruki's pokegear displayed a picture of Professor Oak as it started the call. There was a small pause as it loaded things up but it was calling him or no time, or at least trying to. There was the usual calling sound Bring... Bring.... that was followed quickly but how phones sounded back home when they were picked up, but instead of professor Oak saying hello, a strange voice said "Possessor Oak is either unavailable for communication or is away from his pokegear. Please leave a message after the beep and he'll reply as soon as possible."

That's not good." Almond said, panting. He had arrived just after Walnut, who had gone to heal up in the back immediately after arrival, and took a stand behind Haruki so he could watch the call. "I was hoping that it was just my imagination getting the better of me, and once we tried contacting him it would be revealed there wasn't any reason to worry." He shook his head. "I hope he's just busy or something, anything but one of those shadow things getting to him."

"Excuse!" Nurse Joy said with bringing back Almond and Haruki's Pokeballs. "Your pokemon are all healed up and ready to go." She tilted her head in a friendly smile and chansey pipped in with a cheerful "Chansey." She opened her mouth to say something else but stopped when she saw the look on her patient's faces. "Oh dear. There hasn't been another murder has there?"

Almond blinked and shook his head. "No. I don't know. Maybe. We're just worried about our friend." He stopped and looked at the nurse. "I'm sorry ma'am if this would be considered an inappropriate question to ask or if it would go against confidentiality for you to answer, but have you seen any strange or particular violent cases around here, especially anything originating from the northern edges of the town?"

The nurse thought for awhile before nodding. "Normally I wouldn't say anything but with the way things have been going I guess its better I tell you than you two going to the northern areas to explore on your own." She paused. "Yes, there's been odd cases coming in, pokemon shredded to bits. That in itself isn't as odd as anyone makes it out to be, but what is odd is that none of the bodies we've been examining have been eaten. Its like someone, or maybe some kind of crazed pokemon, is just going around killing without any reason." She looked at the clock. It was four thirty PM "The killings usually start at around six or so." She sighed. "I don't know why I told you two that. I guess I'm just exhausted." She laughed. It was small and sad. Chansey put a hand on her partner's hand, worry plain on her face.

Uh. Is this still a thing?

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. They seemed exhausted after the battle so maybe we should go to a pokemon center first. No telling what kind of dangers we could find out there." He looked around and pointed at a large glowing red and white ball that was raised towards the sky like the statue of Liberty's torch. "I think that's it over there. Let's go over and see what they can. Plus, that's the second best place to be for information."

"Deep breaths Haruki. Take deep breaths. If its true then at least one of them made it out alive." Almond saw how Haruki reacted to the news of Officer Jenny and put a hand on her shoulder. He wasn't sure if that would do any good, but he couldn't see how it would hurt. Well, he could, but decided to ignore those possibilities because sometimes you just had to let someone know you were there for them. "But if that was Spitfire, what was he doing all the way over there? I mean, wouldn't he have stayed close Officer Jenny to defend her to the end. YOu know how loyal the dog pokemon are always made out to be."

Almond stopped walking. His mouth always dropped off his face which turned white and ashy. He swallowed hard and turned fear filled eyes towards Haruki. "The only thing that would make sense would be if Spitfire was chasing whatever it was that attacked his trainer, but then that would make." He turned back the way they came. "It would mean that whatever might be over there, near Pallet town." He turned and started running towards the pokemon center. "Come on. Let's get our pokemon healed and then try and call Oak to see if he's alright."

"Fell through?" Chester's head tilted to the side, unsure. "You mean you two are a couple of aliens?"

"Not exactly." Jim said, finishing his tea. "You ever hear the story of that dragon-ghost pokemon? The one that lives in a world right next to this one?" The man nodded. "Well, its something sort of like that. We're in a world next to this one. We fell through because things were attacking our world and we thought going through the portal would help."

Chester's face went white. "Things were killing people?" His eyes shifted around nervously and he leaned close to Jim, closer than what Jim felt comfortable with. "What kind of things? What did they look like?" Jim moved back nervously. He turned his gaze to Rae. "Well what did they look like? Tell me please"

Jumping the Multiverse V 3

"Yeah, I guess that could be why." Almond said in response to Haruki's point regarding other trainers not being around. "But people in the anime always rushed towards danger to see what they could do." He laughed, and scratched his nose. "Of course, I'm probably just romanticizing things. Its a bad habit, but one that's hard to break."

"Oh yeah! There it is. I guess you were right about there not being one before it." The city wasn't anything like Almond imagined. He always figured it for a quaint little down, surrounded by a bit of rough patches, but instead there were massive mines, and excavations going on everywhere he looked. There were more trainers too. They didn't have the friendly looks everyone on the show had, most kept their eyes down while they walked, but occasionally one would look back and give him a nervous smile.

"So where do you think we should start? Usually, the gym, in the games, is the best place to go for information but...." He paused and stepped in front of a random passer by. "Uh. Excuse me sir, but do you know what's going on? Why does everyone look so terrified."

The man blinked at Almond before looking away. "Its the murders. There's been so many of them. There were another four bodies found just now towards the northern edge of town."
