Rory adjusted the mirrors on the jeep as they drove down the road. "Hesperus City is one of the tamer places you'll find here in the region," he explained. "Yeah the Overseer is..." Rory trailed off as he recalled his rather disastrous first at challenging Norah. "She's a bit on the eccentric side I'll give her that. If you aren't totally prepared then you'll find yourself in a world of hurt. Fortunately, she does take it easy on newer trainers. You should consider yourselves lucky that you never end up staring down her Kingbull. You'd never think that something as small as a Snubbel could turn into something like THAT. Once you do beat her however, our next stop is going to be the Stelto Forest outside of the city. That route is Norah's territory and with her mark you both should be able to catch Pokémon there. But first..."

Rory slowed down the jeep and brought it to an eventual stop. With a smirk, he stepped out and gestured for the two trainers to do the same. With a gesture to the tall grass in front of them Rory produced a set of ten pokeballs from his bag, handing five to each of them. "You're going to need to gather some new allies here on Route 1. I'm trusting you both understand how to do it so I'll spare you the explanation. Right here is a good area to gather your basic grass, rock, and normal-types. If you're lucky you may come across a poison-type as well which would be effective for the battle. Always remember that just because you specialize in one type that you shouldn't limit yourself on what Pokemon you catch."

As Orianna and George took the balls, Rory let his gaze wander over route one. The foothills outside Mercer Town did have a fair bit of variety in the Pokémon you could see. In fact, it would probably be a good idea to catch a few Pokémon of his own. As if on cue, he spotted a rustling in the grass a good distance from him. Leaving the duo on their own, Rory silently crept up on the disturbance and pulled out a Pokeball of his own. With a single swift motion, Rory launched the ball and it soared through the air right as a small Rufflet sprung from the grass. The ball struck it on the forehead and the little bird was converted into light as it found itself being pulled into the pokeball. With a soft 'click' the latch on the pokeball locked shut and Rory's DexWatch beeped to notify him that Rufflet had been registered to his Pokedex!

Rufflet - The Eaglet Pokémon. While many Flying-Type Pokémon have left the mountainous area of the Kaida Region; Rufflet is one of the few who dreams of fighting the dragons and reclaiming its nesting grounds.

"So you're a fighter huh, little buddy? Well then welcome to the team!" Rory smiled at the pokeball as he picked it up.

Sk8te: A Dystopian Cyberpunk Rp

@KZOMBI3 I forgot to mention, but the dancer idea sounds really cool as well! I honestly imagined most of the Creds working in office or factory like roles, but I never thought of entertainers or recreation so that would actually work really well! Maybe she could be a back-alley doctor for mod surgery? Just an idea.

@Auz Yeah, I'm imagining most will be Sk8te or Sk8te-affiliated. Some stuff I forgot to add in up top would be Tags and mods. So each member of Sk8te would essentially have a callsign for themselves (kind of light a pilot), but it would also come with a holographic graffiti tag. These tags would seem like nonsense to the uninitiated, but they are used to convey messages to other members within the respective cabals.

Also, body modifications are going to play a part in this rp. These would be how some members within Sk8te are capable of moving from the ground of the Megacity to the top. Some may have grapples, or others could use some sort of wall-running tech. The options are pretty open since this is sci-fi, but I'm open to discuss just about anything.

i would be down for sk8te personally but i could make a cred dancer - someone who works closely with sk8te?

@KZOMBI3

Well the fun part of this is you have total freedom with your character.

Ok, I’m actually blown away by how many replies I got so quickly. If I may ask, are there any particular roles or character ideas that interest you specifically? I.e. would you rather rp as a Sk8te member? A Cred? Or and Heir? What about the idea specifically has your attention? I’m using the replies as a means of building up the rp so let me know what you’d like to do!

Sk8te: A Dystopian Cyberpunk Rp

So... This is a storyline idea that I've been kicking around in my head for awhile and I just decided I might as well throw it out and see if I can get any bites on it. I got the idea for this story years ago when I played Mirror's Edge (and I low-key hated it at the end don't @ me), but I thought I could take the IDEA of Mirror's Edge and improve upon it. I wanted to tell a Cyberpunk style story about a group of characters that end up WAY over their heads. Ideally, this story would deal with some pretty mature themes so 18+ is a given. Violence, Death, Drug use, etc. Anyway... here's the idea!



Following the Corporate Wars of 2085, human society has been re-structured into the the Megacity System. These new Megacities span across impossibly large tracts of land and house around 15 to 20 million people per city. Every Megacity is filled with towering skyscrapers, immense factories, and technological marvels, but they only appear to be beautiful on the surface. The majority of people within the Megacities are corporate workers who live from credit to credit. In addition, everyone is joined by a central computer system called The Net. Each citizen of the Megacities is programmed with a neural brace at birth which allows them to tap into The Net for their day-to-day activities. By using the Net, individuals can access information, contact their peers, and essentially use it as a tool for everyday life.

The Megacities themselves are ruled by the Heirs, descendants of the original corporate CEOs who used their immense wealth and influence to place themselves securely within the Megacity infrastructure. The Heirs largely operate above the law and, in many cases, they dictate policy from the top. Some Heirs are thought to be more decent than others, while there are still some who view the rest of the Megacity crowd as beneath them and they seek to accrue more status and power than their associates.

Next there is the working class. Dubbed, the Creds by members of Sk8te, these are the regular workers who live day by day, going into work and tapping into the Net in order to receive their next credit-check for the week. There's nothing bad about this lifestyle, but it's thought to be incredibly boring doing the same thing day in and day out with no difference.

Finally, there are the members of Sk8te. Sk8te is a cabal organization that operates within the Megacities. While it's origins are a mystery, Sk8te is comprised of individuals who choose to live apart from the regulated and controlled life of the Megacity system. By having their neural braces removed, Sk8te members live apart from society, choosing personal freedom over the security provided by the system. While there is no organized leadership for Sk8te, each district of the Megacity has its own group of Sk8te members and a tenuous peace runs between them. Sk8te members are known for their freerunning skills and they are also quite capable on standard transportation such as hoverboards, bikes, and scooters.

The only interaction most people have with the Sk8te organization is through their courier service. Sk8te members have a reputation for traversing the Megacities unseen - whether by ground or across the skyline - which makes them a perfect service for transporting illegal items or contraband across the city. If you have enough credits it's not too hard to hire a Sk8te member to transport your goods across the city. If you are caught meeting with a Sk8te member however, it's considered a crime by the Megacity as dictated by the Heirs.

So that's the basic setup. The story I have in mind would be a sort of Pulp Fiction sort of thing where a standard courier assignment gets botched and the members of the cabal have to band together and recover the item that was taken only for it to be revealed as much more important than they initially thought and it leads them on a path to expose a major member of the upper class of the Megacity. Reply below or DM me if you're interested in this idea!

Shaman King: Darkstars

Pyrus had been out on his travels when the green light moved across the sky. He and Lobo found themselves sitting on a deserted mesa following another failed search for Blanca's spirit. Pyrus struggled to get a campfire going while the wolf ghost forlornly looked out across the dark expanse.

"Lobo, I know I promised you we'd find Blanca eventually, but it's been over a decade. Are you certain her spirit hasn't already passed on?" The young man heard an irritated growl rumbling in Lobo's throat. "Of course. You can still feel her presence, and that's more than enough reason for you to keep searching." After another strike, Pyrus had a small fire burning for warmth. He was about to stretch out on the bedrock when the night sky suddenly lit up in a brilliant green flare! It didn't take long for Pyrus to realize what it meant.

"Lobo!" The Native American leapt to his feet as the wolf spirit bounded towards him, "Spirit flame mode!" Lobo's body vanished and a small silver fireball burned in his place. Taking hold of the ball, Pyrus spoke the command he'd practiced for emergencies such as this. "Spirit Unity! Skinwalker!" In a matter of seconds, the ghostly apparition of silver limbs appeared over Pyrus's arms and legs. The silver light extended across his body and covered his eyes in a wolf-like mask. With the oversoul completed, Pyrus turned his head in the direction of the Patch Village. Taking a leap off the mesa, the shaman hit the ground and took off running with a speed that would make an Olympic sprinter green with envy.

The next day, Pyrus found himself sitting in a meeting hall with Goldva, the chieftain of the Patch Tribe. Little by little, new shamans began to trickle into the hall; the shamans who were to make up the task force known as the Darkstars. According to Quarta, Pyrus's mentor, the Darkstars came from all over the world and only convened in times of great distress. As this was the first time he'd ever been summoned, Pyrus wondered what event could have caused such a fuss that the Darkstars would be called.

New segment is post. And @Mistress Dizzy it's not a bad impression. lol. Just a plot point I'm recycling from my original draft of the Overseer.

"Morning, Norah!" The Professor's voice came through loud and clear. "Just wanted to sends you the heads up about the new trainers I brought on. They'll be stopping by Hesperus today and I wager they'll want to give you a challenge before they depart. After all, they'll need your clearance to get through the Stelto Woods past town." Cypress looked to see the jeep driving away as he made the call, "Oh and by the way, Rory will be bringing them. So do with that information what you will."

This had the effect of bringing a smile to the older woman's face. Rory Bennett had battled her some years previously and it had been an.. interesting development to say the least. Not only that, but he'd managed to leave an 'impression' on Norah's daughter Darlene. It would be fun to see him again.
