[Prologue - Auldrant and the Score]

Auldrant is a region that is separated into two nations: Malkuth and Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. The large land of Auldrant is held together by Sephiroth Trees. The Sephiroth Trees are pillars with a shape of a large glowing tree that hold up Auldrant. The Sephiroth Trees can be accessed through an ancient ruin called the passage rings, which are marked usually by ruins that date back to the Dawn Age of Auldrant. Ten of these locations exist in total. The Sephiroth Trees are places where the planet's Fonons and memory particles spout forth. These pillars are the result of artificially strengthening those memory particles through the passage rings. Each tree sustains and supports separate regions of the world, and if the associated tree is destroyed or shut down, the immediate area will implode and collapse, leaving a massive abyss on the surface in place of the former landmass.

For much of Auldrant's history, only six fonons (or atoms as we would call them) were known to exist, representing the elements of Shadow, Earth, Wind, Water, Fire and Light; but eventually a seventh fonon, controlling Sound, is discovered. Its discovery brings great chaos: using this newest Seventh Fonon allows one to read the future. One such Seventh Fonist, Yulia Jue, an important religious figure, puts in place a future for the world for thousands of years to come, with the promise of unlimited prosperity at its end.

This prophecy of the future's set path becomes known as the "Score" and is documented on "Fonstones" scattered throughout the world. The nations of Kimlasca-Lanvaldear and Malkuth have fought over the fragments of these tablets for generations, each uncovering them and hoping to discover the future before the other. Meanwhile, a holy order emerges dedicated to the reading of the Score and the keeping of the peace. This holy order is called the "Order of Lorelei", and is headed by a Fon Master who maintains both religious/political and military branches.

The score is sort of like a horoscope that reads basically anything; to what will they do for their birthday, to what they should have for dinner. People cling to the score more than anything else; after all, it's like a candle light to darkness. One day, the score read once more, but this time, it became a promise. A promise to unlimited prosperity for Auldrant. Finally -- the unlimited prosperity the people have been waiting for years was about to come true.

...little did they know though,with the promise of prosperity, the world's destruction will also commence.


[The Pokemon]

The Pokemon are considered sacred by the Order of Lorelei due to a pact formed with Yulia Jue, symbolized by the Sorcerer's Ring. The ring enables the Pokemon to communicate with others, as well as use the power of various Fonons to gain new skills. Like in Modern times, the Pokemon were owned by people, to perform a number of tasks, however, in these times, it is illegal to own a Pokemon under the age of 16. Society is drastically different from that of a modern day pokemon world, for example, the treatment of pokemon is something that differs quite a lot, with the general attitude being that they are tools, to be respected and, sometimes, feared, not to be friends with.

The Pokemon live across the land of Aldurant, each housing at least one of the six fonons, as well as un-categorized fonons, (ghost, psychic, grass, etc.). Many parts of pokémon knowledge aren't known, specifically pokémon 'types'. Whilst many can understand that a water type might have 'water fonons', or a fire type have 'fire fonons'.

There was a prominent reputation system in Auldrant, which still holds meaning today. It consisted of different ranks, depending on how many badges you had. A badge in was given out by a pokémon Master - the owner of a Colosseum Arena - if you managed to defeat or severely impress them in a pokémon battle.


[Technology]

Today, this weren't as advanced then when it was in Yulia's time. You can say this is like a reminiscent of medieval England, however, it is possible to create airplanes, battleships, submarines, and so on. However, technology like this would be called "fon machines", developed from a theory that was set back in Yulia's time.

As for Pokemon technology, Pokeballs were also Fon machines, where the energy released from them made it possible to capture any pokemon a person would want; however, the theory behind this was never understood, except for a theory that the energy is only a set of different kinds of Fonons clustered together. Monster Books were a replacement of the modern day PokeDex. This book is at least 100 pages long and can be quite the burden to carry. Gels were like a reminiscent of Potions. You can say Gels are like jello, where they take a round shape, and are very soft when you can eat them. You can, however, grind them into liquids, so that they become easier to carry, and to consume.



[Plot]

This world is twisted; ruled to the score. That's because the world has been now promised future prosperity, read from the score by Yulia. With said promise, the people have been prepared on the guidelines on what they should to in order to gain that prosperity. However, that excitement became panic when the score read that before the prosperity can be gained, the lands will fall, coated with the aftermath of war, and a deadly poison gas - miasma. That fear turned to reality when it was becoming true; a town known as Hod started to have landslides, earthquakes, and water shortening as their people started to panic due to their water running low, their plants dying, and the fear of being pillaged by thieves. Soon, the land was going to completely be imploded, shrouded by the miasma, as foretold by Yulia's score.

However, a land's implosion would be near impossible without the Sephiroth trees being destroyed first. What, or who caused the trees to be destroyed?

There is also talk of war between the two regions that are decided in Auldrant: Malkuth and Kimlasca-Lanvaldear. Soon, the war actually took place, leaving the world into chaos. Daath, a town neutral to the both of them, and are also the protectors and keepers of Yulia's score, decided that they needed to help stop the war, or else many more people will parish from the implosion of the lands, and the spread of the poisonous miasma.

So, Daath created a team of 6 knights called the Six-God Generals, who's main job was to stop the war, and to help the citizens of Auldrant survive the chaos predicted by the score, as well as finding a way to stop the lands from imploding, and stop the miasma from spreading.

Daath also had an idea to stop the war. The gyms in both Malkuth and Kimlasca-Lanvaldear hold great class and influence to whoever could hold all the badges. So, in theory, if one were to hold all the badges, they were to become pokemon masters, and hold influence in the two regions, making one a powerful ambassador to help to make peace and to stop the war. Therefore, Daath also sends the Six-God Generals on a pokemon journey to collect the badges as well. However, their journey will be long and difficult; for many more people wishes to hold all the badges, and be the ultimate pokemon master themselves.


[What this RP is really about]

You're basically a teenager / young adult who is also a member of Daath's Six-God Generals. You're basically on a pokemon journey, where you travel Auldrant, collecting gym badges, in order to stop the war between Kimalsca and Malkuth. Train Hard, because you'll meet many more people with pokemon who wants to realize their own dreams. A much darker plot ensures, where you'll see the effects of the lands lowering down, sub-coming to the effects of the poisonous miasma.

Pokemon will have levels, but only for fun. Battles are pure anime style, where I'll tell you whenever your pokemon gains a level, or is able to evolve.

This is also not intended to be a chapter RP, but, I'll post guidelines. Basically, as soon as a player wants to enter a new area, they'll have to wait for me to post details about that area before continuing to post. Details can include what pokémon can be found there, what the route/town really looks like, any important people or points of interest or even events.



[ So, while your role is indeed you being one of the Six-God Generals, what do you intend to do? ]

- Focus all your efforts on stopping the war?

- Maybe you want to defeat the Pokemon Masters and collect all Arena Badges to become a powerful, influential person?

- Maybe you will travel to see what state Auldrant really is in, to decide whether or not you believe in the score, and then fight for that cause?

- Any other adventures?
