Thanks a ton! Moved him to the Characters tab. As for the third trainer spot, I don't think Nkiruka's gonna become the third trainer, but if no one applies after a week, I can try making a second character?

Pokémon: Sunset

Nkiruka Laqul

Faceclaim:

Quote: "What? Dangerous? It's only a Grimer. Just look at it! You wanna try holding it?"

Name: Nkiruka Laqul

Age: 17

Appearance: As above. Height = 5'6"

Personality: The first thing most people notice about Nkiruka is his cheerfulness and optimism - not much gets him down, to a somewhat ridiculous extent. As he says, 'we determine how we feel about things'. If he thinks he has a chance, he will happily ramble about any given topic and takes a while to notice he might be annoying those around him. That seems to put a dent in his cheer. The only topic he tends to avoid is that of where he came from, his family, and even at times his pokemon team.

For the most part, Nkiruka tries to avoid conflict. He'd rather compromise than argue, and when it comes to battle, he'd rather forfeit than fight. This can make him come across as quite spineless, an impression he struggles to fix. It doesn't help that he's slow to anger - though hurting a pokemon for no good reason, that'll do it. Take good care of your pokemon in his presence.

Biography: Nkiruka grew up in the Hoenn region, in what most folks would consider a standard family - two parents, and a sister older by two years. His older sister was quite competitive, a fact Nkiruka often had to work around when discussing his plans for the future. Dreaming of being a pokemon champion was not meant for him. However, after the siblings each got their own pokemon, his sister left and he spent time bonding with his new pokemon. Their bond reawakened old dreams of fame and fortune and when they set out, Nkiruka had dreams of beating the Pokemon League.

It was over a year later that he ran into his sister, who at that point had assembled a psychic-oriented team, as if to directly spite Nkiruka. He didn't rise to such bait. Instead, he foolishly showed her the progress he'd made and announced his own dream: to not have to worry what anyone thought of him, not even her. Later, he'd remind himself he should've known better. She decided she was going to teach him a lesson, if he was so insistent on 'being in the way like usual'. The exact details, Nkiruka is hesitant to relate. All that really mattered anyways was that he dropped out of competing for the Pokemon League the next day. Within the next week, he'd dropped out of the Hoenn region entirely, getting a boat ticket out of the region before searching for a region without a Pokemon League.

He currently resides in Umbriel City, eking out a living via acting as a babysitter for all sorts of pokemon - looking after them, helping to train them and give them exercise, make sure they don't go on a destructive rampage out of boredom, that sort of thing. It's not much of a living, but it lets him get by. Still, if he doesn't figure out something new soon, well, he's an optimist. That doesn't mean he's that big an idiot.

Partner Pokémon: Beedrill

Likes: Forests, quiet days, sunny weather, drawing, talking with people, poison-type pokemon

Dislikes: Pokemon battles, the ocean, darkness, being alone

Quirks: Nkiruka's probably half-immune to poison given all the possible toxic interactions one can have with poisonous pokemon. He also knows a lot of facts about pokemon biology.

Relations

Digimon: The Parallel Visage

Apologies for a short post all, figured I'd acknowledge everyone best I could?

Digimon: The Parallel Visage

Oh. The humans were waking up. That was good, Marineangemon supposed. It meant it was too late to safely return the digivices, however. One was approaching, and another one was holding a stick as if he meant to swing it. For some reason, his mouth went dry and he got ready to make a bubble shield before he swallowed down the feeling. One human had raised his voice, and two were swearing, but no hostility had been aimed at him or his sister. Why should he be feeling any fear?

He looked at Piximon, who gestured that they should go. He understood. Still, he tossed her the final digivice and drifted down a little, away from his sister. He was certain that if her arms weren't full, she would've snagged him by the collar again, or he would've heard the sound of her open palm collide with her forehead. But he was never good at leaving others to their own devices, was he?

"Erm, hello." He spoke up, his voice not quite matching his dainty appearance. He realized two digimon made it onto the scene and knew he wouldn't be able to keep the smile out of his voice - maybe the rest would show soon. These humans would not be alone in a foreign and dangerous world. It was all he could hope for. "I can't answer all your concerns, but I can at least tell you where you're at." He also had a theory on the why, but he didn't dare express it. Not if 'defeat' meant killing. He could hear Piximon mutter behind him, "Oh, give me a break..." He chose to ignore her.

"You're in the digital world now - I've been told it's a dimension parallel to yours, and dependent on yours as well for its existence. It's quite odd to think about - imagine if instead I'd said your world was dependent on ours. But I digress. I, my sister, that Frimon-" He gestured to the digimon wrapped around the human's neck. "-and that DoKunemon-" His arm swept over to the DoKunemon who had laid claim to another human. "-we're all digimon, the dominant lifeform of this world. I have no idea how you got here - humans are said to be summoned, and I don't know who could've summoned you. It may be why you were all unconscious though."

It wasn't a lot of information, he knew, but it was the barest facts he knew to be true. Well, except-

"I would think your partners are around here somewhere as well," he said to the human girl who'd approached and to the human boy who'd asked what the heck was going on. "All humans in the digital world are said to have digimon partners." Also digivices, but maybe the humans wouldn't miss theirs. "I'd suggest finding them soon. Some parts of the digital world are quite dangerous, and not all digimon are open to discussion and reasoning." He knew that from experience. He clapped the end of his tendrils together.

"Well, I think that's all I can tell you. I suppose I should wish you well, and hope you have a wonderful adventure!" Not likely, given the current state of the digital world, but hey - he said 'hope'. There was nothing wrong with hoping for the unlikely.

"Yeah, have a good time and crap, we gotta get moving." Piximon fluttered down and nudged Marineangemon with an elbow, nearly losing a digivice as she did so.

Digimon: The Parallel Visage

@Martian Well, that does fix the only issue I had. New line looks fine, and as theother two looked fine before, feel free to move all three to the characters tab! You can decide if Dokunemon's with the group already or hiding around the World Tree.

Digimon: The Parallel Visage

@Martian Looks really good! I just have a minor concern about Hagurumon-X - I don't think the X-virus was a thing in this setting, or at least not in the way it was in the X-Evo movie. Mind changing that please? If you have a related idea that may influence the plot, I'm open to hearing it though.

Digimon: The Parallel Visage

@Martian You certainly have my permission! You're free to post it in the OOC when ready.

Digimon: The Parallel Visage

Back, looking for a new Zhuqiaomon-connected tamer! Anyone looking for a semi-traditional digimon rp?

Pokémon: Sunset

@TheNoCoKid Alright! I was thinking he functioned a lot like the Pokemon Daycare - looking after pokemon, helping to train them and give them exercise, make sure they don't go on a destructive rampage out of boredom, that sort of thing. He can't afford to fully convert his housing into a proper daycare, so he often works on a 1-on-1 basis, kind of like a babysitter for pokemon. I don't know if that's sufficient detail- I can always refine it.

Pokémon: Sunset

@TheNoCoKid Fair enough. Would it be better if I changed it to Umbriel City?
