Pokemon Survival Challenge v2 (M) (OOC)

Now that's a motto to live by!

So, is that trainer coming up on Zaki and Mara someone in particular, or do you want me to just wing it and bring him out? If that's the case I'm going to make it that NPC I mentioned.

EDIT: I posted already. If that trainer was supposed to be an NPC, don't reply yet; I'll edit them in and let you know when it's done.

@Strikit, I fully intended for the trainer to be that NPC of yours xD

So Henderson are you coming into the cave with Schneider and forming a plan together?

Yes, I probably should have stated when he looked around he heard a slight rustle lol. Sorry

Hmmm, things are interesting right now, it seems like we have an alliance formed, a rivalry formed, someone still flying solo and a possible new RPer (maybe two) coming in. I'm liking where this is going.

Also, in the next IC day or two I'm thinking of going into a full out strategy war between our characters Henderson (and Kanea) since that is the forte of both :D
What do you say?

Also, I'm moving the time frame into mid-late afternoon if you guys don't mind. Since I have some plot extras going to occur in the next few IC days and want to get a move on.

Yes I'm cool with that, I like this!

Loving the way things are going!

Very interesting to see how these characters are developing, I'm already plotting ideas for the next IC day :D - which will be shortly by the way.

Name: Vex

Nickname(s): N/A

Gender: Male

Appearance: African american with brown dreadlocks and a green/yellow jogging suit. Similar to the Dancer character found in B/W. He is tall, about six feet. He has hazel eyes and an often walks with a nonchalant disposition.


Personality: Born in Pewter city, next door to Brock's pokemon gym, Vex always aspired to be the very best pokemon trainer. His mother and father were expert pokemon breeders, and his father gave him a brand new Charmander egg for his 7th birthday. The two of them grew stronger together, and would be best friends until death.

Vex's bond with his pokemon never grows weak. Helping his parents at the daycare gave him the chance to interact with pokemon directly, and gave him an understanding of pokemons' personalities and their ability to love humans. He always has a hard time depositing anyone to the PC, because he thinks they'll feel too lonely. Vex's pokemon are his friends, and that will never change.

Vex always has more to learn about pokemon and about himself. Vex often makes rash decisions, dangerous misjudgments, and causes problems that are usually solved by his loyal friends, his pokemon. Vex has never had many human friends, only his pokemon to turn to for comfort. Constantly travelling never allows him to hold down a friendship in one spot, but his pokemon are always with him.

History: Vex was born in the Kanto region and recieved his first pokemon his father. At first Vex didn't understand what it meant to have a pokemon. He thought he would be the best trainer ever if he caught as many pokemon as he could. This was not the case, however, and left him with no pokeball money and too many Pidgeys. Vex quickly realized what was really important about being a trainer, the bonds he would form with his partners. And so, after beating the Kanto league, he let his many pokemon free, except for his newly evolved Charizard, Eenzie.

He then headed to Hoenn, searching for a new beginning and trained a full team of pokemon there: A Dustox, a Gyarados, a Weezing, a Machoke, a Wobbufet, and of course, his Charizard. Vex was finally ready to challenge Hoenn's Elite Four, but was unfortunately greeted by a group of mysterious bandits. They escaped with four of his six pokemon, leaving him with just Eenzie and his Dustox, Xavier. After weeks of hunting for the bandits, Vex finally decided to give up and move on to another region without trying to beat the Hoenn Elite Four at all. Next stop, Unova.

Vex made it through the Unova league with no problems. By then he he was nearly an expert. He built up his team once again with new and interesting pokemon. The League was baffled by his amazing skill that could not be matched by that of the Elite Four. Vex heard rumors about some interesting research being conducted in Sinnoh by a man named Prof. Rowan, so Eenzie took him there. Finding Rowan had already found an assistant, Dawn, Vex decided to challenge the Sinnoh league. He caught more pokemon in the Sinnoh region, his favorite new pokemon by far was his Lucario, Ryu. He had raised it from a Riolu, and the two were now close enough that Ryu could communicate with Vex. Ryu could even translate what Vex's other pokemon were saying, which brought Vex even closer together with all of his pokemon. After beating Byron's gym in Canalave City, Vex recieved the letter...



Brief summary of preparation day: The letter was spontaneous. He received it right after defeating Byron in Canalave City. He had no time to prepare, the boat was already waiting. The only preparation he had was a pep talk between him and his pokemon, and a kiss on the cheek from Dawn.

Other Info: I made a trainer card (which by the way would be a cool thing to make everyone have) but the site didn't let me post it. Oh well!

You'll need to a bit of work before I can accept you - sorry if this sounds harsh but below are notes on how to improve.

Personality and Appearance - You need to give a lot more detail in both. The basics are there but you need to expand on them and flesh them out to create a truly interesting and unique character.

Team - Nothing accept that there are no actual levels, that being said a hatchling would be quite weak so I'm intrigued by the development and character growth opportunities.

History - Your history is doable, although there is a lot of room from improvement. For example, there's no way he could have gone through leagues without a full team since full teams are required from the quarter finals onwards. Secondly, his father cannot be one of the in-game or anime gym leaders since none of them really give anything to suggest taunting or violent behaviour. The incident in question could also be elaborated on.

Other: I liked the trainer card idea xD

Thanks for the tips. If I make improvements would I be able to send in another app? I'm thinking of rewriting the whole thing anyways. I wrote it like a week ago so by now I can see i kinda don't like it.

Just edit the post originally containing it. There's not really a limit to how many times you can try. :)

Application has been edited.

Much better. His appearance still needs some work but everything else is acceptable. Once his apperance is gone into more I'll accept you :)

Done. Not that there was much else to add.

Honestly your description leaves a lot to be desired still... but I'll accept you so long as your actual posts are up to scratch - which I expect they probably will be from reading the rest of your SU. You can post at will, I'll add you into the OP shortly.

Thanks! I'm very excited to start this

Excuse me, is there a chance I could reserve a spot? :3

Of course :D
You're reserved, don't panic if the OP says otherwise I just haven't gotten around to updating it yet.

Edit: I'm wrapping up the first IC day now. Everyone can have one more post and then we'll move on.
