Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon - Shadows of the Past

Nova

Name:
Nova

Gender:
Female

Pokemon:
Fennekin

Backstory:

Before waking up in a world unfamiliar to her, Nova wasa a human trainer just like any other... Well, almost. Trainer might not quite be the right term for her as Nova was a member of her region's Ranger force. Devoting her life to the preservation of Pokemon and their natural habitats, she worked alongside a loyal friend she had rescued from the clutches of an abusive trainer. A Fennekin by the name of Salahyna trained and grew with her new friend, helping her out as best she could.

Bother human and Pokemon grew together doing the best that they could to bring about peace and protection to Pokemon everywhere. Fennekin eventually evolved into Braixen and again to the fierce Delphox over time, the pair about as close as one could be with another living being. When Salahyna fell sick, Nova herself was sick with worry frantically searching for a way to nurse her beloved friend back to health. It was during this search that she crossed paths with a Pokemon shrouded in mystery that promised to heal her friend if Nova helped heal the world. Desperate for help, Nova agreed without any idea of what it was she was supposed to be doing.

Next thing she knows, she's waking up in a forest with little memory of her original life and absolutely none of the promise she's made... Oh and did I mention, she's now a Fennekin?

Personality:

Nova is a determined soul with big dreams motivating her every action. A bit on the extreme side, she has a desire to protect everyone and gets upset easily when faced with the reality that she can't. She also has an unfortunate habit of biting off more than she can chew with a situation, whether that being facing up against a foe much larger than her, or carrying more objects than she can hold. Ambitions aside, Nova at her very core is a kind and compassionate person who feels and tries to take on everyone's problems for them.

Because of how much time she spends trying to take care of everyone else, Nova can get pretty down sometimes as she feels rather alone in her fight to end all things bad in the world. She's not sure what it is she's actually looking for, but Nova knows that there is something missing that she needs to get back.

Team:
Comet's Soul

Moveset:

• Scratch
• Ember
• Psybeam
• Sunny Day

Special Features:
Shiny, and wears a small ringlet around her front right paw.

Memories:

Nova doesn't remember much about her previous life. She does know her name and she is certain beyond belief that she is human... But there's a second name that floats around her head from time to time; Salahyna. She doesn't know what it means, but she's determined to find out.

Sorry for the double post... Here's my initial idea for the human character I mentioned. It's a little on the rushed side so if there's anything you want or need me to change I'll happily oblige.

Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon - Shadows of the Past

@WeepingLiberty Essentially. For a Pokemon it's their lives so far in the Pokemon World. For a Human turned Pokemon, it's what their life was like before being brought to the Pokemon World. That's where the Memories section comes in, that's how much you remember of that backstory.

@Shiny Keldeo

Okay, that's what I thought. Thanks.

Spirit Guardians: The Call of a Butterfly [REBOOT]

Characters x2

Name:
Jacob Marx

Age:
18

Gender:
Male

Birthplace:
East Coast America (Pennsylvania)

Normal Appearance:
Standing roughly at 6ft in height, Jake is a bit scrawnier than his peers. Weighing in at a meek 150lbs there is hardly anything that resembles muscle on his body... This, however, can be quite decieving. Jacob's strength is in his legs, hidden from immediate view. He also tends to hide behind jeans and baggy sweaters, and can hardly be found without his glasses. Adding to his unkempt look is a head full of short, jet black hair that always looks like he just woke up from a nap, and dull brown eyes that seem to devour any light that touches them. Forever the mystery, no matter how much time he spends in the sun, Jacob's skin always remains a frightening pale white (he takes after his Irish mother).

Post Soul Link:
It probably doesn't come as much of a suprise to anyone that Jacob's appearance doesn't change all that drastically post Soul Link. His eyes shift from their dull brown to a bright glowing blue and his dark hair develops a white ring that spands around the diameter of his head (Korrin's Halo as he calls it).

Personality:
Jacob pretty much keeps to himself if he can help it, usually interacting with others only if they interact with him first and going out of his way to avoid noisy people in general. Shyness aside, Jake is a pretty sweet guy if you spend the time to get to know him. He remembers all your favorite things and loves nothing more than to make you laugh, however going out of his way to start a conversation with someone new can be a little on the nail-biting side for him.

After meeting Korrin, Jake has learned to open up a little. He still jumps at loud noises but he's begun making eye contact with those he speaks with, and slowly but surely is working toward initiating conversations rather than just reacting to them.

Despite his love for knoweledge and the collection of intellect, Jacob isn't all that great of a strategist. His body has an incredibly fast response time, but for the most part he's following the directions given to him by another person... In his case usually Korrin's advice. Not having many friends to call his own, Jacob can be very over-protective over the ones he does have, a strange sight to those used to the docile wimp. Upset this guy and you very well may regret it.

Other:
Loves music and will listen to anything but Country or Screamo.

Name:
Korrin

Appearance:
(Butterfly form)

Appearance:
Korrin takes the form of a translucent, humanoid sprite. Pale from head to toe, the girl has snow white hair, skin, and (for the most part) clothing. Her eyes are a sharp, crystal blue that seem fierce and kind all at the same time. Her clothes, much like the rest of her, often seems to be made out of mist at times... Sprouting from her back are a pair of decorative wings that take the appearance of tree branches in the midst of winter. When "resting" the bottom portions of Korrin's legs will disappear, leaving her floating in the air like a ghost, however they reconstruct themselves when she becomes "active", as they are necessary to her fighting style.

Class:
Combat

Fighting style:
"Hand-to-Hand": Korrin will get up close and personal with an opponent during a fight, but to say hand-to-hand combat is her specialty isn't quite accurate. Quite nimble and acrobatic, Korrin attacks using her legs and defends with her arms finding new a creative ways to kick butt.

Weapon:
N/A

Magic:
Ice:
(Ice Shield) - By flash freezing the air in a small area, Korrin is able to create a pretty sturdy shield against attacks both physical and magical. The shield however doesn't last very long(right now) as it usually shatters upon impact so it's used as a quick block to create an opening for her to strike.

(Frost Touch) - Following a similar concept to flash freezing an area, Korrin will reduce the temperature around her hand [insert scientifically accurate number here]. Whatever she touches will begin to freeze as well, but for only as long as she's touching the object. Contact with skin will start the frost bite process, but if knocked away recovers quite quickly (still hurts though).

(Ice "Skates") - By adding these lovely blades to the bottoms of her feet, Korrin can basically skate around on dry land to increase mobility or straight up use them as a weapon.

Personality:
Korrin's core belief is that all things in this universe are connected and must in turn work in harmony with one another, each serving their own purpose with the gifts they have been given. Always encouraging, Korrin acts almost like a mom of sorts, but their bond runs much deeper than that. As kind as she is though, she is quite fierce when it comes to her charge. Any ill word or action against her beloved Jacob, and you will feel how cold ice can truly be.

Name:
Maria Desrosiers (Day-rosey-ay)

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Birthplace:
Paris, France

Normal Appearance:
5'7" and 157lbs, Maria could easily work as a model if she wanted to but don't let this sweet, strawberry blonde fool you. She works just as hard as the next girl to maintain her figure. She inherited her sun kissed complexion from the Mediterranean ancestors on her Mother's side, but her light blue eyes and hair are from the French heritage on her Father's. She usually prefers to wear frilly dresses and other such stylish clothing, but secretly is just as willing to slum it with more "punk" styled outfits. Either way, everything about her screams sweet girl next door, down to the very nail polish she wears. Catch her when she's by herself, though, and you'll hardly recognize her beneath the messy hair, disheveled clothing and let's not forget the giant camera blocking your view of her face.

Post Soul Link:
Like a peacock strutting about, Maria and Polaris' Soul Link can be quite the dramatic display... Flashy to say the least, every cell in Maria's body comes alive with energy. Her hair will seem to sway about in an unseen wind, visibly sparking with static electricity. The white of her eyes will darken to a near black state, making the light blue irises pop even more. On her biceps, wrists, thighs and ankles black tribal markings will appear (depending on Polaris' mood may be centered around a zig-zag or a spiral design). And as if that weren't enough, Maria sprouts a pair of glorious yellow wings that are 15% functional and 185% ego.

Personality:
In general Maria is a social butterfly, talks to everyone and is well known for being sweet. But like a lot of people, she tends to tone herself down for other people. All her life Maria has been a fan of adventures and getting down and dirty with the boys... which ended up with her mother scolding her all the time for not being more feminine. To "protect her image" Maria began following her mother's advice; wearing cute clothing, finding respectable hobbies, and most of all being exclusive about her choices in friends. While the clothing choices rubbed off on her, Maria hated having to hide her true passions so she made the decision that she was going to do what she wanted instead (thus for the first time getting her to notice the damn butterfly you couldn't miss even if you were blind). Bit by bit she's worked more and more of her boldness into her public persona, however she hasn't quite gotten to the point where she can just not care about others opinions of her.

Other:
Enjoys running or jogging through the woods and is an avid photographer. Her camera is never far but rarely takes it out around people she knows.

-Guardian-



Name:
Polaris

Appearance:
(Butterfly form)

Appearance:
Polaris has dubbed himself as THE Thunderbird (though whether that's his ego talking is unclear) of his realm. Boasting or bluffing aside, Polaris takes the form of a fierce bird of prey whose height has him tower effortlessly over other humans. His feathers are a dark yellow that, in the right lighting, can look black and are often accented by small spurts of electricity generated when he moves. A lover of speed and punctuality, Polaris will move from place to place on electrical currents, or simply zapping across a room in the form of his own lightening bolt. On rare occasions though, especially if he or Maria has a point to make, he will walk behind her menacingly, puffing his chest and wings out proudly. His eyes glow a ghastly tealish color that remain intense regardless of the amount of light around him.

Class:
Weapon

Weapon:
Primary: Single-Bladed Japanese Style Polearm
Secondary: Curved Blade Dagger (It's gold only in color, not metal. Modeled to look like Polaris' talon)

Magic:
Electricity:
(Lightening Rod) - Focuses the electrical current within Maria's blade. Charging the blade for contact electrocution doesn't take all that much energy, however, if up against a mighty foe... The charge can be focused and fired as a powerful lightening bolt... That usually ends the soul link, however.

(EMP) - Sort of self explanatory, there is charge and release of a current that knocks out the power around them. Current distance is a maximum of 10 ft, used to shut out the lights in a room. Future distances might include the average distance of a city block.

(Levitation) - A nearly passive reaction from Polaris, if knocked backwards off a ledge or high place, an electric current running through his wings will carry the pair back to safety... However, if starting from ground level, it requires incredible concentration to gain lift off and to maintain altitude... The result is them not usually getting very high.

Personality:
If Polaris could be described in one word, it would be proud. If he could be summed up using a second, it would definitely be cocky. One of your more serious characters, this guy doesn't really know how to take a joke and wears a permanent frown. He prides himself the most on appearances, mostly those that give off vibes of power and dominance. He has a soft spot for Maria but only ever shows it through tough love. It's not all that surprising that Polaris would be quick to anger, seeing as he overreacts to even the slightest of possible insults. There's not too much to worry about if you're not an enemy though, as Maria reigns Polaris in as much as he pushes her to be her best. Fun fact about Big Bird, his standing at full height is a sign that he deems you as beneath him, but if he stoops down to your general eye level, you hold his respect.

Spirit Guardians: The Call Of A Butterfly (ALWAYS ACCEPTING)

Aw, sounds rough. Sad to see such a promising GM go, but I'm totally onboard with a reboot! So count me in! Also if you guys end up needing any plot ideas or want to talk through some stuff with the RP I'd be happy to help.

Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon - Shadows of the Past

@ladyanglaise Good to hear, this actually surprised me on how fast there was interest compared to my other attempts.

@WeepingLiberty First come first serve. I'm gonna add one last requirement though for the Human. No Legendaries, and only First Form Pokemon.

@Shiny Keldeo

Okay, I'll try to get it in quickly then. I arrived to an appointment early so I have a little extra time to work.

EDIT: Also, what are you looking for exactly in terms of Backstory? Are you talking about how they lived their lives as a trainer before the little switcheroo?

Spirit Guardians: The Call Of A Butterfly (ALWAYS ACCEPTING)

@WeepingLiberty
It said not to bother them about it. In the rules page I was in.

@RaeoftheLight

Oh ok, I wasn't sure. Like I said there are a couple of sites that allow you to inquire especially if the banning greatly effects an RP. But if they said not to bother them, I guess we have to respect that. It doesn't hurt to inquire whether a banning is permanent or not though? Maybe I'll go ask in the off-topics thread.

Spirit Guardians: The Call Of A Butterfly (ALWAYS ACCEPTING)

I can't remember which one of the sites I frequent allows you to inquire about bannings and other such things privately... Maybe if we sent a polite message asking if this was permanent or something of the sort we could get an answer rather than just waiting and guessing?

Or is this one of those that keeps the info severely locked down?

EDIT: But I seriously can't believe this!

Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon - Shadows of the Past

@Shiny Keldeo

Can I reserve one of those two human spots? I'll start work on the CS right away but will have many interruptions until later tonight.

And just for clarifications, the human gets turned into a Pokémon like in the games correct?

A Prized bride (The return)

I would've thought Gems that were abruptly stolen away from their homes, lives, families, friends, and everything they knew would be a little more afraid when a Drakken tells them they're fine, or if one of them said that they weren't a Drakken.

Sort of odd how many Gems here don't seem to mind leaving behind everything they knew and loved. Or hated, in some cases, but I doubt one would be so positive-minded when they're in the midst of those people who steal people, and threaten war as easily as a merchant might try to entice you with his wares.

Something I've sort of noted.

@WilsonTurner

Kasari I wrote to be like the physical embodiment of the element fire. Bold and bright and beautiful all at the same time. She might be scared but she's too stubborn to show it, not to Drakken scum. That mixed with the fact that the Drakken who chose her is not much taller than herself... She'll be wary, but for now she's just too tired to be worried.

Sorrin on the other hand was terrified. Absolutely so, but she isn't the brightest crayon in the box. If anyone had told her she was alright she would have believed them, whether they were being truthful or not. It's the confusion over the non-Drakken Drakken that would upset her, but she already has it in her mind that Sia will take care of her.

It wouldn't be any fun if they were all snivelling the whole time. These personaloties set up for drama and betrayal! It's gonna be a great time. ...That and I really don't know how to react to a character that would willingly blow his own cover like that sooooooo. XD
