Pokémon: Warriors of Sengun (Up To Four Spaces Open)

Liam looked around in amazement at the city of Regala and capital of the Sengun region. It was such a large city and, even though Platinos was large, it was larger than any city he had been in. Then again, Liam hadn't been in many cities in his life since he had rarely left Platinos. His SailFlight had been rather uneventful except for a fight nearly breaking out but it had been interrupted quickly and the ship arrived early in the morning at Regala's station. Since then, Liam had been wandering through Regala looking at the myriad of shops and tourist wandering about quite like him. There were so many more people than he was use to seeing and they were just as varied as the food street vendors were selling. Liam's stomach growled after having walked what he thought had to be at least four miles and he decided to go to one of the park's in the city.

The small park Liam had decided to stop at was beautiful with trainers and their pokemon running all around. There was also the occasional warrior training the park but they were doing nothing more than working out. It had been a while since Liam had left Platinos but he had let Spalder out every day no matter what. As such, he pressed the small button on his pokeball and Spalder appeared in a flash of light. Like other denhun's, Spalder saw Liam as his pack leader and, as such, Liam often had to keep Spalder close so that he didn't get into trouble. "Are you hungry little guy? I'm pretty hungry I can tell ya that much. I'm going to make us both a meal so don't worry about it." Liam said to Spalder as he withdrew his ponigiri kit and one of the packs of ingredients he had in his pack. With ease, Liam prepared a meal of ponigiri for himself and Spalder to eat. Spalder set upon his small meal like a rabid puppyre on a piece of meat that had been thrown at him. Liam just casually ate his meal while watching the cute little electric type. Both finished their meals and Liam repacked all the supplies into his pack and stood up. "Alright, come here Spalder. This city has lots of big crowds and I am not taking a chance on you getting lost." Liam said as he picked up his little pokemon.

It was easy for Liam to find his way to center of the city where three building sat. He knew all of them without even looking at the signs with their names. They were the Palace of Regala, Victory Tower, and Ilex Laboratories with the first two begin rather tall and magnificent and the third building being shorter but had a tree growing on it's roof. It was rather odd for the lab to have an oak tree growing on its roof but Liam knew better than to question what some people do. Ilex Laboratories was Liam's destination as he still had to register for the League but he couldn't help but gawk at the other buildings. Upon walking into the lab, Liam noticed that there were several others that had arrived here before him. "Sir, what can I help you with?" called a receptionist in the lobby to Liam.

Liam walked forward to the desk with Spalder resting on his duffle bag. "I'm here to sign up for the the League. I already have a pokemon but I still need a pokedex. My name is Liam, L-I-A-M, Hamne, H-A-M-N-E." Liam said to the man.

"Alright, you can take a seat as we wait for any more Trainers." the recptionist responded to Liam. Liam walked away from the desk and took a seat away from msot of the others. Spalder shifted slightly in his sleep as Liam moved him off of the pack and set him on his lap.

In Hunting Beasts and Nightmares

I'll be working a character sheet for most of tomorrow. Too tired from my job training today to really write anything but I have a good chunk of time before I go back in tomorrow at five(Central time).

Tin Soldiers: Long Mercy

If y'all wish to move on, you can. I have a good chunk of time before I got to work at five tomorrow so I'll work on writing a post then but I probably won't be around for another five hours after that as it is a 5-10 shift(Central time).

Insurgence | Medieval Pokemon RP

I'll throw my interest into this.

*Rolls in on a baneling*

I am most certainly interested. I got a feeling that some of the inspiration might have been from Bloodborne from the first few sentences.

I've been waiting for @Inertia to post already. If he/she doesn't post in the next few days after this than I'm going to continue on without him.

The Topic of Homosexuality, Gender Identity, and So forth

I personally don't think genetics have anything to do with being gay. I wouldn't say that my genetics made me pansexual as much as I would say my Father's genetics made him straight. If Homosexuality was a gene, I don't think I would exist at all. It would be a gene which, in the eyes of natural selection, is completely useless. A man and a woman can have a child but a man and a man can't unless it is adopted. For natural selection, the idea of keeping a gene like homosexuality simply would have been worthless. My belief is that nature gave us the instinct to keep our bloodline going. What nature didn't account for was something that it had never seen before, Choice.

Humans are, as far as we have researched, the first animal on Earth that has seemingly given itself a Choice on who we want to be with. Every other animal on Earth acts on instinct but Humans have something they don't have. If we face a path leading down a dark road and one leading down a bright road, we have the choice to go down whichever road we want. A normal creature would go down the bright path, it does seem like the safest path by instinct. I chose to be a pansexual, which wasn't as easy as many people think. I could have easily determined I'm gay or straight but I chose to be a pansexual. But choosing your preference isn't something to be easily done. Some say it requires experimentation to truly figure out, others say you were raised to be that way. Me, I say that you have to figure out for yourself. For me, I spent hours wondering if I was truly straight.

By all standards of psychology I would be considered straight so I was. But, I knew that I didn't solely love women. Hell, I had know for a long time that I had feelings for a rather handsome boy in one of my classes when I began high school. Like a fool, I hid this and convinced myself that I am straight but, when I chose to be a pansexual this year, I accepted that I liked males as much as I liked females. But I felt that, if I can like females as much as males then would it really be as big of a gap to jump to the conclusion that I would be fine with dating a transsexual? I found that the answer was no. Did genetics force me to chose pansexual rather than anything else? Did society pressure me into it? No is my answer. I had chosen to be pansexual because I knew that I couldn't care less about what one's gender is so long as I knew I loved the person. Genetics had nothing to do with my decision and society, while it may effect others, had no effect on me. Society didn't tell me I had to be pansexual, I did.

The idea that genetics made someone gay or their parents raised them to be gay is a scapegoat from a time when being gay wasn't acceptable and, like mdk says, it is a very weak argument when you are an adult. We live in a time that is growing far more out of its comfort zone. A hundred or so years ago, our society didn't accept or even recognize homosexuality as something that could be normal. In fact, if I remember correctly here, homosexuality use to be believed a mental disease which you would be sent to a hospital to correct. The last generation and our current generation(the one I am a part of) has been forcing change upon our norms. In future generations, I'd venture to say that homosexuality is far more normal and acceptable than it is now. Will it be more easily found than heterosexuality? Probably not but another generation may face a change where heterosexuality and homosexuality have been replaced for bisexuality where a man or woman can love both genders and it would be completely normal. But, that is only if society learns to accept every sexuality without limitations. At least marriage equality is now a thing in the US which means we are probably on the right path.

Pokémon: Warriors of Sengun (Up To Four Spaces Open)

Liam Hamne

Name: Liam Hamne

Age: 18

Sex: Male

Appearance: Liam isn't as tall as his six feet and five inch tall father for he stands at a mere five feet and six inches. He looks to be of african-american descent with dirty blonde hair. Despite his small stature, Liam weighs a rather heavy seeming hundred and eighty-six pounds of weight. It is obvious that, upon further inspection, the majority of Liam's weight is not fat but well toned muscles from his years of training. He is somewhat of an oddity with bright blue eyes rather than his Father's green eyes and Mother's brown eyes. His hair is cut short, most of it barely longer than two inches. Liam wears yellow, black, and silver colored clothing with a roaring Priomoden sown on the back of his shirts.

Liam always carries a pure black knapsack with him which contains all of his items. He generally wears a silver button up shirt which is always unbuttoned to reveal a black and yellow t-shirt. His shorts are normally blank in color and his shoes yellow running shoes. Liam's silver button up has five catches sewn into it for the storage of any pokémon he catches. He carries with him a pair of hard leather gloves which his father had passed on to him, the gloves are meant to soften the force of his blows while he is fighting. Liam is always seen wearing an arm band with an amethyst on it set in gold.

Personality: Liam is a very arrogant person and tends to show this in his fighting style. He prefers to fight quick and hit hard and often. But, this does not mean he doesn't care for his pokémon for Liam has the utmost care for them and would not allow them to be injured too badly in battle. Liam is very direct in conversations and generally does not joke around on any subject. Liam is quite kind to everybody but doesn't quite trust everybody he meets. He tends not to do what people tell him even though this often gets him in trouble with his father. Often times, Liam lets his anger out after an argument with his father by training.

Liam has never been much of one to drop out of a competition even if it meant he got injured because of it. He has too much pride to ignore a challenge. He cares not what people think of him but he is not willing to allow somebody to call him weak or a coward.

Profession: Warrior, Liam is following in his father's footsteps to become a warrior specializing in the training of electric and steel type pokémon.

Talents: Liam is capable of speaking to electric and steel type pokémon in the same way an Empath can. He does have some difficulty fighting ground and fire types but won't let it stand in his way. Liam has been trained in fighting alongside pokémon in battle and as such is quite capable in combat. He has yet to form a link with any pokémon yet. Liam is quite skilled in making ponigiri from a kit and from scratch.

Starter Pokémon: Liam was given a choice between a Denhun, Roggenrola, or Aron as a pokémon for his starter from his Father. He decided that he felt that the Denhun fit him the best. Spalder, as Liam has come to call the male Denhun, has the ability of static and knows scratch and growl.

Inventory:
-10 Poké Balls
- 5 Potions
- 5 Antidotes
- 5 Burn Heals
- P$1000
- A ponigiri kit
- Two packs of ingredients for ponigiri
- A kit of medical supplies for human wounds
- A simple, white colored Pokélink
- Several changes of yellow and black shirts as well as silver colored pants
- A pack of jerky and salted fish

Hometown: Platinos City, Platinos, Sengun

Biography: Liam was born in Platinos City in the Sengun region and is the youngest of five children. He is the twin brother of Juliet Hamne and was born a mere minute after her. Juliet and Liam are quite a bit alike in that they have never backed down from a challenge which means that, for much of their young lives, they were competing against each other rather than their two older brothers and older sister. Liam was a playful child when he was young and often would play around with the pokémon his father had caught and allowed to roam around in their household. It was normal to see a pikachu or magnemite wandering through the house early in the morning when Liam's father normally woke up.

Liam's father wasn't quite the kindest man in the world and expected Liam to become a warrior like he was no matter what. Liam didn't show the skills of being a warrior until he was ten years of age when he could somewhat understand what was going on in a fight between a raichu and pikachu at their house. Apparently, the pikachu had taken some of the raichu's food for breakfast and they that they wanted to battle it out. Liam, of course, told his Father about this and soon was met by him the following day to really begin his training to be a Warrior. His training wasn't an easy one, Liam had to run with his Father for about three hours a day beginning at six in the morning and then workout with weights until eleven. That workout was followed by a high protein diet and then a thirty minute break before they went to train on punching bags.

Liam was taught how to weather blows the hard way, by fighting a Tyrogue. Many times a week he would battle the Tyrogue and the outcome would be the same, he would lose the battle cause of a few slip-ups. After a year of training, Liam was finally able to fight the Tyrogue to a stand still, though he still left with some nasty bruises. After Liam finally beat the Tyrogue in a fight, his father made him fight a hitmontop. For beating the Tyrogue though, he was given an arm band with an amethyst set in gold from his Father. Liam never quite beat the hitmontop but learned how to dodge attacks better. Many times Liam would be exhausted from the workout and tell his Father he wished to stop only to be told that he had to continue if he wanted to sleep inside. Quite a few time in the last year Liam has gotten into arguments with his Father over training only for it to be broken up by his sister. Three months before Liam left Platinos City, his Father wanted to leave him on an amicable note by providing him with a pokémon of his choice from three. Before arriving in Regala, Liam learned that his Father had fallen ill and his health had taken a turn to the worse resulting in him having to go to the hospital.

Notes: Liam's mother has been out of Sengun for family matters in Johto and, as such, Liam hasn't spoken to his mother in a little over a year. He also hasn't seen his brothers since they left to other regions to learn more about their chosen crafts, breeding and nursing. His eldest sister is currently out in Sinnoh working her way through their gyms. His twin sister decided to stay at home with their father to keep him company.

And posted. Hope you are fine with some interacting before hand. Just sort of natural for somebody who can use a glider to fly through the sky to notice something in the water going towards the White Lotus camp.
