Elementals: The Scarred World (Semi-Open)

At Commander Hayes' instruction to hold on to something, Ling hurriedly collapsed Kei's arms and stowed the weapon on her back. She spotted a sturdy-looking pipe and grabbed on with both hands, hoping it was enough as she planted her feet in preparation for the... crash? Whatever it was, she was thankful she'd stowed her pack securely before the fight.

When the dust settled, Ling let go of her handhold and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"I would recommend you see our....doctors, but I get the feeling you mages have ways of taking care of yourselves which is better than just some wrapped cloth and meds. So, I will leave you to your own devices, I need to make sure my ship isn't too bad."

"Right... accounting for damage. Did that scratch end up getting worse?" The question was aimed at herself, as she examined the marks the harpy had given her. Blood was slowly staining the surrounding fabric of her tunic, and the skin was torn open in several places. "Okay, standard restorative before the adrenaline wears off and it stings less than it will later." Ling took one of the red potion vials from her belt, uncorked it, and knocked back half of its contents in one go. She tentatively poured a few drops of the rest into her open palm, and began rubbing the potion into the injury.

Ling winced as she performed the necessary work: the liquid stung where it met the quickly-closing gashes. But the blood flow ceased almost instantly, leaving a patch of red-raw skin. Good enough. Shame she couldn't fix the holes in her tunic. Recognising the fact that she couldn't do much about that - unless they invented a Fabric Element - she held out the half-full potion vial, looking to her fellow mages. "Anyone need a pick-me-up after that little adventure?"

@JoPo: I can't help but feel that your application draws some rather close parallels with my own character, Ling the Silver Vial.

@hoppiholla391's got the right idea. Besides, if they aren't going to help in or out of combat, what's the point in keeping them around? If an item, feature, or trait exists just to make a character special or unique, I feel it doesn't need to be there.

@Coga19000: I noticed something about your character sheet.

This enabled him theoretically to reliably imitate certain applications of magics, up to this point restricted in regards who could use which, into constructions of Metallic nature ; allowing the wielder of a tool- say, a staff- to use said aspect -colloquially known as a spell- without being an apprentice of said element.
He tested and trained on this theory for years, in conjuction with Weavers of other elements,with which he studied all elements at the best of his abilities, and finally was able to create staffs that could imbue users power to execute a spell like ability, weapons imbued with a certain element and unique properties,and much more.

@Coga19000

Stranger has stated that gaining access to Elements other than your chosen mastery isn't allowed, even in a secondary capacity that won't show up in combat, and yet the above quote is still a part of your character sheet even after the recent edit. If you intend to keep that part of the bio, giving your character access to even basic imitations of Elements other than Metal, you're going directly against his word.

So hey. Turns out I ended up with some sort of cold-ish thing. Plays havoc with my sleeping and core temperature. As a result I don't think I'll be getting any writing done for the next few days or so. Can still answer any questions that might come up.

Which, of course, means I don't want to get left behind. If someone could get Ling into the ship with the others, so she's not left out in the storm, that would be much appreciated. (It can just be a simple mention of her being inside, or someone saying she dashes for shelter. No need to go too in-depth.)

The only Pokémon that have their Hidden Abilities available are the ones specified in the Pokédex spreadsheet, given because they only have one standard Ability and in most cases that Ability is kinda lame for the most part. Other species don't have Hidden Abilities (especially since none of the new Pokémon have them; I deliberately left them out of the designs).

For reference, the species with their Hidden Abilities available are Chikorita, Torchic, Oshawott, Pikachu, Swablu, Turtwig, Cyndaquil, and Froakie.

Also, hospitals suck. Hope you're out of there soon. =/

Edit: The species mentioned above have an even split between their standard and hidden abilities, so they appear at equal rates.

Well, that took a lot longer than expected. It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to catch, I'll be honest.

Also, side note: The Pokédex entries aren't really what I wanted, but since the site doesn't have the BBCode for a table, I needed an alternative.

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

"Okay, Jen... let's see what we can find. Going to need to spend a bit of time in the forest to pick up a Grass Pokémon..."

"Torchictor?" Jen sounded concerned.

"Well, I wouldn't replace you, if that's what you're asking - "

"Chee-yen!" A short bark, in the grass close by. Sure enough, a small grey-furred Pokémon poked its head out of the grass. It paused, looking up at the tall human invading its territory, then gave a whine and retreated. Alix raised her eyebrows, then remembered that Poochyena was a Dark-type, and would naturally avoid her as a result because she specialised in Fighting-type Pokémon. It was a good option for a beginner, but one that she would have to skip. "Ah well. There must be something else around here..."

Sure enough, in one of the trees, she spotted a pair of bird Pokémon chirping at each other. The Kestra, brown with a prominent crest of feathers that gave it an impression of angry eyebrows, was trying to imitate the melodious trills and tail flicks of the grey and orange Fletchling. Both, however, paused when Alix carefully approached.

"Trra?" The Kestra was the first to make a move, hopping out to the end of its branch. It regarded Alix with a look, and she held its gaze. The Fletchling, however, took flight, looping once around the tree before sailing off elsewhere, singing as it flew.

Alix stepped back a pace, and set Jen on the ground before her. "Okay, Jen, time to see how we fight." As she spoke, the Kestra began hopping from branch to branch, picking its way down the tree to reach the grass below. Jen began bouncing up and down a little: was she eager, worried, both, or neither? The Kestra was the first to make a move: from the lowest branch of the tree, it jumped and opened its wings as it fell, performing a short dive to land in front of Jen. Before Alix's Pokémon could respond, the Kestra poked at her a few times with its beak, then sprang back. "Tra!" Challenge! Alix understood the wild Pokémon's chirp this time.

"Okay, Jen, let's go!" Jen scuttled forward, swiping at the bird with one foot in an unbalanced manner before she dashed back to her Trainer. Alix cracked a smile at how cute she was when she ran around. But the Kestra's retaliatory Peck attack reminded her that now wasn't the time to focus on the cutesy side of her Pokémon. "Again, Jen! We've got to wear it down!"

"Tor!" Again Jen ran up, but this time she balanced herself on one foot before preparing her own attack. The Kestra, unfamiliar with the action, flicked its feather crest and ruffled the rest of its feathers before Jen Scratched it and ran back to Alix. Her opponent gave a short cry and flew forward a little before it delivered another Peck.

Jen gave a loud "TOR!" and hid behind Alix, with a worried look on her face. She had a few scratch marks... but the Kestra had just as many. Either Jen had done some damage, or the Kestra was a young one. Either way, now was the time to recruit the Flying-type to the team.

Alix pulled a Poké Ball from her satchel, briefly weighing it in her hand before she tossed it towards the bird Pokémon. The Ball did its work, opening up and drawing the Kestra into its hollow insides before closing of its own accord and resting in the grass. It twitched once, then twice... a third... then a click emitted from the Ball and it stopped moving.

A muffled ding came from Alix's pocket seconds later. "Huh?" She rummaged through the pocket in question to find her new Pokédex had a blinking light on the top and a symbol of a Poké Ball on the screen.

Alix stowed the Pokédex after giving it a cursory glance. So her new acquisition had the Sniper ability... that explained why Jen tried to hide after the last attack. The Trainer sat down in the grass facing her charge, and picked her up. "You okay, little one? You took a few hits there."

"Rrrr... chic chic." Jen wasn't happy with the results of her first battle, even though she'd won. Alix held her carefully in one arm while she tentatively brushed the scratch marks away. "It's okay, Jen. We won. See? Good as new." Jen just chirruped, settling in and picking at her fuzzy feathers. Maybe she didn't like battling... although now that Alix knew about the Fire-type move in her arsenal, the next battle would be different.

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

Okay, I can get that done soonish. Now to decide what to catch... I still haven't quite figured out what I want on Alix's team. =D
