An Open-World Pokemon Gijinka RP

@AdmrlStalfos19
I had more of a general idea than an actual reservation. I'm more than able to choose another mon.

An Open-World Pokemon Gijinka RP

I may be interested in this as well. Some time ago I found an adorable Sandslash, but really I haven't made a definite decision yet.

Edmond had since left his chair, not at all amused when it became apparent to him that he was still stuck where he was and not back at the bus. He was very much oblivious to the unintended manifestation to his power, his backpack more or less raising from the ground and seeming to levitate for a moment before the light slowly folded around it, camouflaging it as well. The boy winced a little at hearing the commotion at the front of the room, but he was too caught up with his dream theory to bother. For all he knew, everything including them and this entire world were just a figment of his unconscious mind. Pondering on this, the thick darkness around the edges of the room started to gradually hold less and less sway over him, and he steadily moved near the back corner; he believed it time to investigate this dimly lit room. By the time the plush guide called on everyone to return to the chairs and listen, Ed had already visably materialized and felt around the nook, even knocking the walls with hi ear against the surface in expectation of an audible or otherwise tangible irregularity. Needless to say, he took exception to the possessed plushie's choice of words. "Hmph! I was not crying..." he pouted quietly, pacing back to his seat, if only to get whatever it wanted over with. In short, if Ed didn't trust anyone who opens an explanation with refusal to delve into specifics on the grounds of doubt that he'd understand, he'd most certainly mistrust such individuals from now onward. From his folded arms and furrowed brow in the toy's direction, his wary skepticism couldn't be mistaken.

Children of The Abyss (Name still WIP)

I guess the best case scenario entails how he's knee-deep in crafting more details for the RP proper (amidst some IRL matters). Regardless, we can all agree that the occasional update and assurance of progress in the wake of considerable player interest can go miles towards sustaining that interest.

Just to let anyone who happens by this know, my interest waned. So you don't have to mention me if this finally does take off. Good day. :)

Mangrale's Miscellaneous Character Showcase

Greetings and thank you for stopping by.

I'm looking for partners willing to work with me and possibly take the lead in a story.

Please PM me if interested

║Preface║

When I say "take the lead in a story", I'm not completely dismissing myself from providing at least a reasonable amount of world building due the character(s) I'll be playing as, but of course I would prefer that whatever I bring to the project to supplement a plot and world largely of your own making; my level of involvement can of course be negotiated over, and I would advise that we do so prior to starting. Even depending on how we feel at the start or as the RP progresses, I may be incited/convinced to increase what I'm responsible for, to a point naturally. Please keep these things in mind when contacting me.

║Prerequisites and Expectations║

• Age Restriction
  It certainly won't hurt your chances if you're 18 years or older. I generally keep things fairly mild, but not being restricted in what I can write is always a preference. If you are in fact a minor, then you should say as much when contacting me.
• Pairing and Romance
  My preference is MxF when it comes to anything involving romance, but I'm capable of playing either role and even multiple side characters.* Additionally, while I'm not opposed to romance coming into play in RPs where courtship isn't necessarily the focus, it should be implemented naturally into the story.
• Maturity and Subject Matter
  Violence, language and some suggestive themes are among what's permissible for the most part on a basic level, and can vary in drgree depending on setting and plot. But I personally won't push for overtly erotic material. If it ever comes down to it, "Fading to Black" is my first choice (especially keeping in mind the point below), but the matter is up for discussion if you feel so inclined.
• Average Response Rate
  I'm capable of writing at least around 2-3 paragraphs every week (Approx. 1K - 2K chars per post). Output may vary at times, but that's the benchmark you should feel comfortable falling back on.
• Stance on Ghosting
  Admitting disinterest or loss of circumstance to continue can be difficult at times, so I'm attempting a new practice wherein essentially after 28 days without a response from you, the RP will close indefinitely. A heads up well beforehand will be appreciated of course.

*

With this in mind, both of our main characters can be the same gender, and if romance ever comes into play, it will be hetero pairings involving side characters, which I'm personally willing to provide for you if it comes to that.

Thank you for coming this far.

This is an experimental arrangement that I've considered doing for a while now. I tended to be the sort that based their interest in an RP on the character concept they could potentially develop, so this can be seen as one potential application of that mindset. Below is a periodically (possibly) expanding selection of premade characters assigned under their respective genres among other pertinent information. If you're interested in playing with a certain character and willing to accommodate them, please message me with your choice along with at least a basic pitch concerning your setting and plot ideas. We will discuss from there.

Personality: Daring, Reckless, Playful, Stalwart Relationships: To Be Determined _________________________________________________________________________

My Thoughts

Just to get ahead of it now: no, romance isn't at the top of my list for this guy. Am I expecting him to catch at least as many eyes as would end up rolling? Sure thing. But if nothing else, I'd want to play my part in a story, however short, with a nice amount of action and adventure. To that end, and I know that this might sound like a turn off for many reading this, but I may end up giving special consideration to scenarios that don't involve the typical Royalty x Knight/Guard pairing. And in case you also see him fitting into a pre-established world out there, then by all means propose that (keeping in mind that I may or may not be familiar with it). I'm eager to hear what you come up with.

Little Borrower (The Borrowers)

_________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________ Name: Rolo "Roly" Featherly Age: 16 Gender: Male Appearance: Height - 8.1 cm │ Weight - 27 g Roughly 3 inches tall (Short among his peers). Thin but with small amount of muscle, he tends to wear soft, spacious fabrics including a manner of silken cape that he uses as a scarf. Personality: Timid, Curious, Idealistic, Creative Relationships: Todo (Adoptive Father) Weeves (Adoptive Mother) Tandy (Adoptive Older Brother) Willa (Adoptive Older Sister) ____________________________________________________________________

My Thoughts

Admittedly, I haven’t gotten into the books as I probably should have. I’m afraid I’m more intrigued by the idea, the story of miniature people dwelling or finding shelter in places otherwise unnoticed by humans, thriving off the fringes of a civilization on one of the smallest scales imaginable. That being said, while I am fond of Rolo, it's possible for me to be talked into designating him as just a side character of note. This is just in case you happen to be eager for a Borrower x Human dynamic, with you being playing the part of the former. Let me know what you'd prefer.

My Thoughts

The tags I mentioned kinda speaks for themselves for the most part, but I can't say I have something definite in mind. Even so, games like the main line of Mega Man spinoffs are what mainly founds my interest in playing as a battle robot. Not to say that I'm only interested in a similar setting, though I will say that I am looking for a reasonably dark tone to write under.

Personality: Passionate, Selfless, Cheerful, Protective Relationships: Quote (Trusted Partner) Balrog (Good Friend) The Colons (Previously Adopted Family) ________________________________________________________________________________

My Thoughts

So it has been an amazingly long time since I've played the game, but this was an idea I had for a long while. Previously I gravitated towards playing Quote in search of someone to play Curly, and if you want that arrangement go ahead and tell me. But for now I'm fine playing as her and you're free to either play as Quote or even someone else.

Back in the day, I had my heart set on a story set after the main events of the game (best ending), which would naturally involve both robots getting themselves knee-deep in another adventure. That said, you're free to offer new idea of your own. I won't even necessarily say no to some kind of Smash Bros.-like crossover event if you sell it to me enough. I'm all ears.

Edmond could scarcely believe his eyes as he beheld their interactions with the entity, notably Carson's hostility towards it, which invoked a rather unsettling response in return. Whatever threatened and unnerved sensation came over the boy, was nevertheless secondary to just how utterly ludicrous this all seemed to him, so ludicrous in fact, that whether or not he was kidnapped was becoming less of a concern of his. This might have been for the best, as he wasn't inclined to trust the possessed plush toy. Even the thought of him, let alone the several of them, being chosen out of all mankind for some kind of game was downright absurd. "This... none of this can be real... am I still asleep?" Ed spoke in quiet incredulity. Backing away from the teacher's desk, he began to seriously consider that he was dreaming, figuring he must have fallen asleep while on the bus. Easy as it was to assume that was what happened, his memory was actually fairly cloudy.

Scrutinizing the room around him, the boy would approach one of the chairs, lowering to his knees to run his hand along it. If he was honest, the tangibly hard surface of the seat was less than encouraging, not to mention he could swear to picking up some dust here and there. Unfortunately, the mounting evidence to the contrary didn't extinguish his poorly considered theory before he decided that maybe he could simply will himself awake. Placing his backpack at his side, Edmond sat down and closed his eyes to concentrate, hands over his knees. After what felt to him like a minute, his eyes would open to reveal a faint glow about them. "Wha-What is happening? A-Am I waking up?..." he uttered aloud before the light around him distorted and enveloped him in a flat wave until he looked to completely disappear. No matter which angle one would look, all they would see is the chair and his backpack next to it.

@Kuroyomihime
I'll very much attempt to get a post out soon, likely Friday when I get the chance.

But lately, Ive also been considering changing my character's power. I had originally considered Photokinesis as a way to create and control illusions (it sort of matched his character), but I had changed it because LordofthePies had already picked it by the time I was ready to post the CS.

I'm sorry to ask, and it will certainly be the last request I make. If you can let me know one way or another so I can have it for my next post, I'd appreciate it.

I'm just wondering aloud if the join status should change, seeing how a spot just opened up.

Any any rate, I'll try and post again sometime before the weekend.

At Carson's disgruntled call for the others to shut up, Ed couldn't help but to perk up in his seat, a spur to move after the stuffed cat initially roused him from his slumber, which was less than sound as evident from his infrequent spasms prior. His lethargic hand lifted up to his head, in recognition of the sharp headache that would plague him for just a few more minutes. Yet with what faculty he mustered, the boy was forced into realizing his new surroundings, the implication of a possible kidnapping, no, multiple kidnapping, sending a jolt to his legs, that saw him almost jump out of his uneven and rickety chair, only to fail to keep him off the likely just as dingy floor. Toppling onto his front, Edmond's voice let out in a weak cry at the sudden grounding, but slowly made his way back up, even if unsteadily so. From, where he was situated, he could not make out the talking plush toy from behind the others grouped around it and therefore didn't pay them mind for the moment, instead turning to face his chair, taking a somewhat relieved step back to it and lightly kicking it aside to reveal his backpack underneath.

But even with the pack where it belonged, Edmond wasn't quite in the right frame of mind to begin to imagine what was going on. This whole situation was strange, no question. But it felt less like a "normal" kidnapping by the minute. Not only has he not been bounded to his seat, but he was allowed access to his stuff. Regardless of what was happening however, he wanted no part of it and therefore turned to the walls opposite of the teacher's desk in an attempt to spot any possible exits. Yet the room was indeed very dark save for the immediate area by the windows, a profound darkness that took advantage of his immediate trepidation enough to prompt a different course of action for the time being. Yet he did muster up enough courage to approach the desk, a relatively good amount of courage since there were two older boys that both had a around a foot over him. Ed was ready to demand answers, an explanation, and if there was opportunity, to plead for leniency on his own behalf. But at the sight of the oddly dressed plush cat, he would stop in his tracks. "Eh... what is this? A toy... and... he is alive? I do not understand," the boy uttered in disbelief, pointing at it and looking at the others to make sure they were seeing what he was.

@Natsu
I'm fine either way.

I've got a lot to do now, but I'll try and post either late today or tomorrow.
