Hello, there. Can I reserve the Lucario line, please?
Name: Felix Teufel
Nickname: Lix, according to his sister
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: For the most part, Felix seems to be an average commoner. Nothing special about his height of five-and-a-half feet, and he doesn't have extra weight in the form of muscles or fat. If anything, he's on the lean side nowadays. Felix often goes several months at a time before allowing scissors near his head; it takes that long for his stiff, mud-brown hair to grow more than an inch anyway. The only real color in Felix's plain-looking face comes from his blue eyes. On any given day, Felix can be seen wearing a long-sleeved shirt, usually blue or green, and brown trousers and boots. He always wears his dark-green scarf around his neck. Always. Felix figures that nobody would want to see the red splotch on his neck, and he doesn't want anyone staring anyway.
Personality: 'Gullible' isn't quite the appropriate one-word description for Felix; it would be more like 'innocent' or 'naive', at least when it comes to city-life. Felix just doesn't have that much experience with the lies, schemes, and wrongdoings that can be found in any city. He'll take what another person says at face-value, and Felix is likely to act without really realizing at first the consequences. It would be hard to find an ounce of dishonesty or hate anywhere in him. It's just not that prevalent a thing in some of the outlying settlements, or at least where Felix is from.
That being said, Felix is a reserved, likable young man. Well, maybe he's likable only because he's reserved. Felix doesn't speak his mind all the time, really, partly because he's a bit afraid that his opinion won't matter or that someone else won't like it. It didn't matter much when his parents and older siblings, more or less the only people around while he grew up, knew more about how the world worked, so why would it now? He'll open up more to someone who tries to be a real friend, sure, but again, Felix hasn't been in the city much.
Buried in there somewhere is a competitive streak. Felix wants to know how he compares to other people when it comes to any sort of game or contest, strangers or no. More likely than not, he'd be beaten in a lot of things, but he doesn't see that as a reason to not try. At least Felix doesn't seem to be the sort who wants to win at any cost.
History: The lumber, meat, and furs that show up in Hearthome City have to come from somewhere. One such source is a village up in the northern reaches of Sinnoh, to be known as Snowpoint City one day. This is where Felix was born and raised, with two older brothers and a sister. During his early childhood, Felix was told about his grandfather, Dieter Teufel, one of the famous Knights of his time. The stories of Dieter that Felix's mother told him were magnificent and featured Dieter as a hero. Admittedly, there was every likelihood that they were exaggerated for his enjoyment, but Felix didn't know that. Answers were always vague whenever he tried asking why his father, Helfried, had left Hearthome City with his mother, Mareike Kröger.
By the time he came to be twelve years of age, Felix had been introduced to the fact that living in an outlying village meant he had to do his part of the general workload. Once he got used to that, it wasn't that big of a deal for him. Felix had his brothers, Edmund and Leonhard, to show him how to do things, and Fritzi, his sister, was usually ready for a game or two in their spare time. Felix's father, on the other hand, had become distant over the years; Felix could never figure out why, other than that Helfried was a loner among the villagers to begin with.
Life was good and all in the village, at least as far as young Felix could see. Thing is, change always comes sooner or later. The first indicator was on a clear day in his twelfth winter, when Leonhard was trying to show him a bit of archery on the village's wall. Sounds of fighting some yards outside the wall drew their attention to a pair of Pokemon that were fighting each other - a Riolu and a Snover. Normally, it would have only mattered as a show for the two kids to watch, and it wasn't normal to find a Riolu around those parts in the first place. When Felix climbed up on top of the wall's edge to get a better view, he promptly fell off, landing on a snowdrift outside the wall. Because he hit his head, Felix missed the next couple minutes of action, and the fact that the Snover had knocked down the Riolu before turning its attention to him. When he came to, the Snover was lying dead just feet away, sprouting arrows from its head and torso.
On a childish, impulsive whim, Felix stumbled over to the Riolu and hid it under his coat before Leonhard and a few adults came outside the wall to retrieve him. He managed to hide the Riolu well enough for the next two days, taking care of it as much as a kid could by himself. The Riolu's condition got better once Leonhard and Fritzi found out about it and helped, with much reluctance on Leonhard's part. On the third day after the incident, a wandering trapper came to their village and announced his search for a certain Pokemon that had escaped him; it seemed that some rich person in Hearthome wanted the Riolu very badly. When he promised a reward for anyone who could lead him to the Riolu, Leonhard didn't hesitate to rat it out. Felix tried to defend the Riolu, called Leo now, but he couldn't get his way on this matter.
At least the trapper didn't leave immediately. He stayed the night in the Teufels' house, bringing an extravagant dinner as part of the promised reward. His father confined Felix to his room for the time being, but that didn't stop him from climbing out a window and heading out to the small barn, where the Riolu was caged up. Leo's cage was already dented from attempting to escape; a well-placed blow with a hammer finished the job. Hiding themselves in the barn only worked until the trapper came out the next day and discovered the broken cage. After a confrontation that drew in the whole Teufel family, the trapper was forced to leave the village without the Riolu.
Not to say that Felix's father and Leonhard treated Leo any better. He had cost the Teufels a near-wealth of winter supplies, after all. The next few years were back to normal, with Felix and Fritzi spending the most time with Leo. The Riolu was treated more or less like the family pet and was kept in sight as much as possible. What Felix found interesting was that whenever he watched Edmund train in swordsmanship with their father, Leo would be watching intently as well, as if he were learning from the swordsmen. That was the closest to any sort of combat that Felix would see coming from Leo.
A month after Felix turned seventeen years old, the village was struck with a disease that took, among others, Felix's mother and Leonhard. His father took to drinking after that, quickly becoming ill-fit for logging, hunting, anything except mourning. Though he wasn't as good at it as Leonhard had been, Felix began hunting for food more than ever, while Edmund took over management of the Teufels' affairs. When their father died from alcohol poisoning a few weeks later, Edmund decided that they couldn't live in the Lake Acuity area any longer. He seemed to have the idea that he could become a Knight in Hearthome City with Leo at his side, though Edmund admitted that it would take more training before they could pair up effectively.
What could Felix say to that? Fate seemed to have other plans, however. Soon after the remaining three Teufels arrived in Hearthome, the queen's guards came looking for people with certain Pokemon. Fortunately for Felix, it was clearly evident that Leo was with him, not Edmund. Or was it unfortunate?
Pokémon Species: Riolu
Pokémon's Level: 19
Pokémon's Moves
Foresight (Start)
Endure (Start)
Force Palm (Lv. 15)
Copycat (Lv. 19)
Blaze Kick (Egg move)
Sky Uppercut (Egg move)
Pokémon's Personality: To be honest, Felix and Fritzi are the only two humans that Leo likes at all. Still more or less a child himself, Leo doesn't look kindly on a world that has, for the most part, either looked down on him with hatred or tried to finish him off. The Riolu only tolerates the world now as long as Felix is shielding him from the worst of it. Leo considers him an acquaintance at best, since only Felix treats him more as a friend than a pet. The only aggression Leo ever shows, so far, is when he or Felix are clearly being attacked or threatened. All that aside, the Riolu finds watching and listening to be the best way of learning how to progress and become stronger.
Magic: Copycat. Seeing as Leo learned it only recently, Felix has had only a few instances of showing any sort of magic himself.
Password: Pokémon and the past are fun!
Other: Inherited from the Blaziken that was his father, Blaze Kick and Sky Uppercut are something that Leo has been able to do only on rare occasions.

Black Ninetales you are accepted.
SylveonStar you remain reserved.
Garet you are reserved.
I apologise for the ammount of time I am taking with my own SU and in general my fairly slow response time to everyone's SU's and requests. Over the past week I have become quite ill... I shall hopefully be back to full health by next week so I ask that you all please be patient with me until then.
The following reserves have been removed due to lack of completion under a generously extended time limit:
-Pikalover10
As such the following Mega Evolution lines have become available once again:
-The Houndoom Line
Should any removed reserves wish to re-apply for another reservation then they are to contact me directly via VM or PM. However if someone else takes the pokémon the reservee desired before they re-apply well... then... too bad I guess.

Dillon1102 you are still rejected for the time being. I didn't ask you to redo your personality or anything like that, I asked you to make it longer and you haven't. You should also really consider taking your history and maybe making it into two paragraphs. Not only does this look better, it makes it less tiring for me to read. Please take these points into consideration should you make a third attempt.
Kranic I am happy to say that you are accepted. I'm quite impressed with your revamped SU and I like your character alot. Well done.
With my own character now also completed we have a roster of seven character at the ready. I feel this is an acceptable amount and as such I will be submitting the IC thread today. If you have a character currently reserved that you are working on then do not fret. You still have plenty of time.
Also SU's will remain OPEN for the majority of the stories beginning up until a certain point which I will decide upon. So if anyone reading this is still thinking of signing up or if anybody knows anybody else who may or may not be thinking of signing up. Then I assure you there's an abundance of time left for that.
Edit: The IC thread has been submitted everyone! When it is up, I will make the first IC post and explain here in the OOC what everyone should be doing, at which point you may begin posting IC. ^-^

Actually I did make my personality longer it went from 97 words to 179 which makes my personality 2 words more than sylveonstar and only a few words behind Kranic around 15 I think. Darkmoonphase he personality is 176 words 3 words behind me and you accepted her so saying mine needs to be longer is kinda arrogant.

Dillon1102 my apologies. It looked shorter than I originally thought. However this was not the only reason for your rejection, just the most relevant one in my eyes. Allow me to explain to you then, exactly what I disliked about your SU.
Before I begin I'd like to also say you have no right to be making personal remarks on how you feel my comments came across. If you thought I acted "arrogant" then I must apologise for your own ignorant assumptions, as I was in no way expressing arrogance.
While I'm at it I should probably also mention that other players SU's have nothing to do with yours. DarkMoonPhase specifically has special circumstances and has already PM'd me outside of this thread and we reached a compromise as a result. Thus she has a bit of leeway.
Now then, with that out of the way... your Su's explanation.
I really didn't want to mention this part as it didn't seem fair at the time but the more I think about it the more I realise that it is entirely relevant to the situation as you obviously need further explanation for your rejection. What is this delicate fact I have neglected to mention to my own fault? It is that I was slightly harsher with your SU's judging as, much to both of our dismay I'm sure, it simply is not written as eloquently or generally well as a large majority of the others, being riddled with small grammatical mistakes and the misuse of one or two words.
Also unlike most others, your history is in desperate need of some fleshing out. There is only one king yet you refer to him as "a" king in your SU, you never specify where your character actually lived before receiving a letter in a small woodland settlement? The main city of Hearthome? etc. etc.
To finish up, even if your characters personality is up to par in terms of length, I should probably mention that your pokémons is not, I asked for one decently sized paragraph. Not a single line.
Now then, if it sounds like I'm being harsh then it's because I am. I was willing to let most of those problems slide under the carpet, I was not even going to mention them, instead deciding to give you a chance and allow you to lengthen and further flesh out the SU as a whole. That is why I said it was too short.
Please don't get me wrong mind you, this is in no way a personal attack, but you were clearly not satisfied with the reasoning I gave you for your rejection, so to make this easier on both of us I decided to list out all of the problems relating to your SU here and now. Thus this post came into existence.
Also despite the fact you decided to call me arrogant for turning you down I am not a bitter nor a spiteful person. I'm still willing to give you a chance for acceptance into the RP. As it shouldn't be too difficult to sort your SU out now that you know most everything that is wrong with it.
However until you do as much, I'm afraid my original decision remains in place. You are, for the time being, still rejected. No hard feelings or ill wishes intended in case you thought I was expressing any. I am aware that it can be difficult to understand ones tone through text alone.

SylveonStar your characters reservation is pending, as you seemed to be having trouble reaching a computer... I will continue to wait for you. However it is now Monday and your SU remains unfinished.
I am pleased to announce to everyone that you may now begin posting!
To help you with your first post and to keep us on track I ask that you please follow these guidelines;
1: Your character has now, through whatever means necessary, been brought to the Singard throne room. Your first post must be primarily located here.
2: You will be escorted into and through the throne room by two armed guards alongside your pokémon, if your character has a weapon then know that this WEAPON has been confiscated for safety reasons within the castle, it will be returned to your character very soon however so do not fret. If your character is a MAGIC user then there hands have been tied in an attempt to prevent them from using their abilities effectively, these bonds will be removed along with the weapons being returned when that happens.
3: You have creative freedom in terms of how your character is brought before the queen, be it politely, arrogantly, rudely, calmly or even kicking and screaming. But remember, your character MUST be in the throne room by the end of the post, they MUST be presented before the queen, they MUST be escorted by two armed guards and they MUST be brought to their knees before the queen by the posts end.
4: Once your character has arrived you may not post until the story progresses more. The story will progress once all (or most) of the player characters have arrived in the throne room.
5: I understand that weapon confiscation and strict procedures about posting may seem restrictive or linear but I assure you this is only for our little introductory phase in the throne room. Once the story progresses more, all weapons will be returned, all hands will be unbound and you as players will have creative freedom to be more inventive with your posts (in essence unbinding your hands aswell as your characters). So trust me, if these first few posts seem a bit linear, then you have my word that the possibilities for your character are going to be opening up very soon.
If you're still unclear about how your first post should work then you can use my first post as Ariana Kaizu Rowan as a guide line.
I look forward to reading what you all write.

4: Once your character has arrived you may not post until the story progresses more. The story will progress once all (or most) of the player characters have arrived in the throne room.
5: I understand that weapon confiscation and strict procedures about posting may seem restrictive or linear but I assure you this is only for our little introductory phase in the throne room. Once the story progresses more, all weapons will be returned, all hands will be unbound and you as players will have creative freedom to be more inventive with your posts (in essence unbinding your hands aswell as your characters). So trust me, if these first few posts seem a bit linear, then you have my word that the possibilities for your character are going to be opening up very soon.
If you're still unclear about how your first post should work then you can use my first post as Ariana Kaizu Rowan as a guide line.
I look forward to reading what you all write.

SylveonStar my sincerest apologies for not seeing this sooner. I've been very sidetracked lately to no fault but my own. You are of course, accepted.
I will be progressing the story tomorrow everyone, so if your character has not yet made their opening post then I will issue you a warning by PM. If two days pass and I still see no attempt at a post or explanation for your lack of posting... then I will have to take drastic measures. I'm being lenient here, but I won't wait forever.

Hello, again. I'd like to say that I just finished my SU, and thank you for not dropping my reservation after the three-day mark.

Garet you are accepted! Welcome to the RP.
Black Ninetales, with Christmas just around the corner and considering that almost everyone has multiple projects going on... it's perfectly understandable if you are busy. If you feel you're taking a little longer to write your post for whatever reason, (even if it's writers block or simple lack of motivation) then I ask that you inform me OOC, like you have just done.
That same message is extended to everyone, if you're having trouble putting a post together then I won't be annoyed as long as you discuss it with me openly. We all have those days where we can't find any motivation to write a post and get it posted (and coded if you're into that). However in my opinion it's rarely a lack of fast paced activity that kills RPs, but more a lack of interest and communication. That's why it is my top policy and priority that all of you inform me if you have any problems, ideas or suggestions regarding any and all aspects of the RP.
I am nothing if not reasonable.

Alright everyone, the first "Major Plot Post" has been created and posted.
Apologies, if there are a few grammatical and or spelling mistakes. I am tired and it was quite a lengthy post.
I've seen a few issues that may arise due to the course this post has taken, so make sure to read this spoiler once you have read the plot post itself:

I will be posting tomorrow since I get a break from Christmas preparations
Edit: since my character communicates with her hands is it alright if her hands are untied
