My Pokemon Ranch: The Underdogs [Rated T]
SU'S ARE CLOSED, 8/8 SPOTS TAKEN!
~Meet the senior class of Richmount Academy…

Who, despite the academy's name, aren't that rich. Most of them have lost everything but their Pokemon: no family to go home to over the summer, not even a house to return to, and definitely not money. Richmount offers education to those who've lost pretty much everything. They take the kids in, teach them, prepare them, and then ship them out into the world. The academy has raised some of the most famous people in the Pokemon world: Valerie Winters, winner of the 2014 Grand Festival in Kanto; Samuel Vaun, who has beaten the Elite Four in both Johto and Sinnoh; and Carlton Olett, the founder ofUnova's very own 'Trubbish Support Group'. The staff at Richmount works hard to educate their students, not only on academics, but life skills as well. But don't worry: this isn't another one of those Pokemon School RP's. That's only the beginning…

So, what about us?~

Graduation: every school kid's greatest dream, right? Not…exactly. For several individuals(obviously the RP'ers), it's out of Richmount, and straight to the ranch! With every graduating class, there's always a few who, for some reason or another, just don't quite make the cut. Maybe your grades weren't up to par? Or did YOU set off that stink bomb in the men's bathroom? These kids are sent to Sunnyside Ranch. Or, in other words, summer school. Training at Sunnyside includes working around the farm with the Pokemon, as well as performing odd jobs in nearby towns for the Ranch Leader. With so much going on, this summer is sure to be lots of work! Oh, sorry. I meant fun!


~But, where in the PokeWorld are we?

Like many things for these students, the setting is also new. They will be headed to the tiny trio of islands known as the Tripon region. The land is located quite a ways away from the other regions, southwest from the Kanto-Johto block, and also far from Richmount. The Ranch occupies a good part of central Midpon – the biggest island of the three. The weather here is tropical, and perfect for the growth of both plants, and Pokemon. Along with the discovery of this region, the Pokemon world has changed quite a bit. The year is 2020: the stakes of battles have been higher than ever, a mysterious substance has taken control of the world's economy, and a certain profession has taken a shocking leap forward. Of course, this graduating class has seen it all, growing up with these changes. But how will it affect life on the ranch? We'll be sure to find out!


Concerning said changes…~

The PokeWorld of today is different from than a decade ago. Trainers have been fighting harder than ever, and with the election of a new president of the lands (the mysterious C. Halliden, Pokemon battling extraordinaire) a new type of battling has risen: a fight to the death called 'Doming'. Trainers these days believe that picking the right Pokemon is everything, and will stop at nothing to get the perfectly bred Pokemon. Another popular trend these days is the use of Silver, a mysterious, dreamy substance found deep in the ground – that boosts the performance of Pokemon in battle. The search for Silver is almost never-ending, and Pokemon Ranches are benefitting a lot more now that the demand for perfect Pokemon is extreme. But some people can't help but wonder: is the use of this drug, especially for possibly KILLING Pokemon, right?

Okay, so what exactly is this all about again?~

In short, the RP'ers have, for some reason, not been able to graduate this year. Instead, they must spend the summer at Sunnyside Ranch in the Tripon region. With quite a bit of land to just themselves and the Ranch Master, it's sure to be the 'summer of their lives'. There will be work do to and challenges to overcome. And of course, you'll get to know your ranch-mates. It wil be a summer of new friends and new experiences, feuds and romance, and tons of adventures. But be careful: life on the ranch isn't always what it seems!

~And now…for the boring stuff.

Rules

1) Of course, all of the PC rules and Roleplay Section rules apply!

2) This is rated T, but as of right now, it's entirely up to you what you want to do with the rating. This leaves room for mild romance and violence and stuff, although it isn't EXPECTED of you to fill the rating.

3) I will not be RP'ing as a main character, but I will guide you through in some way or another. This will be kind of a cross between a chapter RP and freeform, with specific objectives at some points. But there will also be more free things as you explore the full area of the ranch.

4) Another main concept of the farm is Pokemon breeding. You will be able to befriend, hatch, and raise Pokemon to assist you in this RP. However, I will be the overall judge on what Pokemon you can obtain or not. Obviously, legendaries won't be found on the ranch, but things like first form Pokemon will be okay. Just as long as it makes sense!

5) Of course, no bunnying, godmodding, and all that good…er, bad, stuff.

6) Please please PLEASE be active. At least TRY to post every few days. This RP will be heavily dependent on the way you guys interact, and if somebody is gone, it could hold everything up. If you're going to be away for whatever reason, please let me (or at least another RP'er) know so that we can figure something out.

7) You may reserve a spot if you'd like.

8) I know this can all be a little (or a lot) confusing, but I can promise you it will all make sense in due time. I have twists planned for the RP, and everything kind of fits in my mind, even though I'm not the best at explaining all of it. If you need anything or have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask!

9) Grammar and spelling are a must. A few thing shere and there are fine, but if your posts are full of mistakes, I have the right to ask you to fix them. This goes for other things to: if I accepted you into the RP, I have the right to, uh, UNaccept you. I am the Game Master, after all!

10) And of course, have fun! That's what all RP'ing is about, right?



SU

Name: (First and last, at least, as well as any nicknames)

Gender: (._. No-brainer)

Age: (You're graduating, so unless you're really smart or got hold back a ton, you should be around 17 or 18. I guess if you did something REALLY bad before it was time to graduate, and they didn't want you to stay at the school over the summer, then they could have sent you here at a younger age.)

Main Goal/Interest: (Trainer? Coordinator? Breeder? What is your character's main goal in life? Feel free to be creative here as well. The Pokeworld could use some top-notch jugglers…or…something!)

Egg Number: (Oh right, I probably should have mentioned that upon arrival, the RP'ers will be given their very own Pokemon egg! Please put a number from zero to sixteen here, and make sure it doesn't match another players! Don't worry, you'll be able to choose which Pokemon you get. The egg will just...eh...limit it.! :D)

Other: (Just anything else you'd like to add that doesn't fit the above categories. This is optional.)

Name: Lyra Cadwell
Gender: She's a lady. (and ladies shouldn't be messed with ;) )
Age: 17​

Appearance: Even if Lyra is considered a "bad" girl, she takes pride in her body and image. Her chocolate brown hair is always curled away from her face, and has lots of volume. Her best assist would be her cheekbones, which look like cute little sugarplums. Lyra enjoys wearing makeup and she considers her face her "canvas". A dramatic smokey eye and rosy red blush is her everyday look. Lyra thanks her Indian heritage for her tan skin. Lyra has maintained a strong workout for over a year now, giving her body nice results.​


Lyra loves fashion and is always trying to make new trends. Right now, Lyra is trying to get bandannas in style. Her outfit consists of a plain white tee that fits snuck against her body, a pair of dark wash skinny jeans that are folded at her ankles, and a pair of golden gladiator sandals. On her wrist rests a black bandanna. Lyra always wears a heart shaped locket around her neck. Inside the locket is a picture of her and her father when she was younger​

Personality: Don't let her looks fool ya, Lyra can be a hateful brat at times. She will do what she wants, when she wants, and how she wants. If things don't go her way, she will make it her mission to ruin the person that made it that way. She isn't afraid to state how she feel, and most of the time it is usually something hateful about how the person looks or what they wear.​

Lyra likes to be the center of attention, especially with boys. She realizes that boys are attracted to her, and she loves to lead them on only to break their hearts.
History: Lyra's mother was only 16 when she had her, and the stress was too much for the poor girl... so she let go of her life one night. Luckily, Lyra's father kept care of her and soon turned out to be Lyra's one and only best friend. They did everything together.
Lyra was always by his side and holding his hand.​

A new woman, and three older boys came into the picture when Lyra turned 8. Turns out, Lyra's father had a liking towards the woman and they soon got married. Lyra now had a mother and three brothers. She was so happy, she finally had a family!​

Tragedy struck when Lyra was 10. Something happened to her father at work, he just fell to the floor and wouldn't wake up. Lyra and her "family" rushed to the hospital to find out what was wrong. Mr. Cadwell was in a comma. No one knows why he was in a comma, but he was. Lyra spent every day next to her father on his hospital bed. She would tell him about how her day was, and how she wanted to grow up and become a famous pokemon breeder. She would read him stories and sing him songs.​

Ellen(her step mom) got sick of bringing Lyra to the hospital, so she told Lyra that she would have to stop visiting him. Lyra disagreed and said that if she kept visiting him he would wake up. Ellen thought that was dumb, it was obvious he wasn't gonna wake up. Lyra began to cry and held her self down in her chair. What happened next made Lyra realized that she didn't have a family anymore. Ellen clenched her hand and punched Lyra directly in the jaw. Shocked and scared, Lyra got up. She looked at her father's motionless body one last time then she exited the hospital with her abuser.​

Ellen's three sons and Lyra's step brothers were talented pokemon trainers. Ellen thought it would be a good idea for Lyra to be targets for the son's fire type pokemon. Lyra would spend 3 years getting burned and battered by the pokemon, while her so called family sat nearby pointing and laughing.​

At the age of 13, Lyra got the courage to run away from the hell hole. She packed her bags and stole $500 from Ellen's wallet and left. She didn't get far though.... Celadon City to be exact. She managed to get a hotel room for two night, but soon realized she would have to live outside if she couldn't find a way to get money. Lyra began asking for money from people that would exit and enter the Celadon Hotel. An older looking man came up to Lyra. He had a mustache that reached from one side of his lip to the other, a pair of glasses, and he had a large bald spot on the top of his head. He told Lyra he would give her $10,000 under one circumstance..... To this day Lyra is still ashamed of what she did with the creepy man. But it did give enough money to live.​

Lyra found an add for Richmount Academy, and decided if she wanted to become a breeder she would need a good education. She used most of her money to buy a plane ticket to go to the Tripon Region. Her first freshman and sophomore year there was impressive. She did all her work(even extra credit) and was one of the more like-able people there.​


Lyra began to get bored during her Junior year, she wasn't getting the attention she wanted from the boys so she decided to wear more revealing clothes, and she decided to do some more scandalous things. That definitely got her recognized in her grade.​

Lyra was somewhat shocked(lolwut?) when she heard all the rumours that were started about her in her Senior year. So she decided to figure out who made them up and give them a piece of her mind. She found out that a group of girls started most of the rumors... so she pumbled them to the ground. The fight ended up sending the girls to the hospital, the family insisted on suing Lyra, but the school said they would pay for the bills if Lyra went to summer school.

Name: Alice Marie Stone

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Appearance(also in signature):
Alice has very light, pale skin. Her hair is longer than normal, and appears very straight with no flips nor curls. Over time, the color of her hair has also changed from a brown to a gray for no logical reason. Alice's eyes are a darker shade of blue, but change into orange when the color hits the pupil. Overall she seems to have a dark image to match her personality.

She wears a long leather coat, and under it a basic white t-shirt on it w/ silver lined along the edges, and dark colored jeans. At her feet are leather boots to match her coat. Alice doesn't have many accessories, but she wears a chunky, solid chain necklace around her neck. The same kind off chains can be found on her wrists. She has many small and un-noticable scars on both her arms, but some can still be seen if looked at closely. Her most distinguishable scars are some burn scars on her left side, which cover her arm and leg. She is very thin, weighing 120. However, her height is 5'7.


Personality:
Not very happy-go-lucky; if anything the opposite. Alice has a hard time communicating with people, and would rather keep quiet rather than share any information about herself nor her childhood. Instead, she finds comfort with her pokemon partners, and pretty much only those few pokemon. However, Alice is a hard worker. She's strong physically and emotionally, though not very clever when it comes to anything requiring a bit of thought. She opens up to few people, but when she does, you'll be lucky to have her on your side.

History: Alice grew up as an only child. She was spoiled by her parents very often, and she loved them as much as they loved her. Her parents were close to rich, both of them having successful careers. At the age of 5, her parents ended up having another child. Alice grew to love her new sister, and they got along very well, soon becoming the best of friends. Her sister was her life, and she cherished the child.

By age 10, she had just finished elementary school. Her parents went to pick her up, asking if she had said goodbye to her friends. She said yes. However, when they reached home, her father sent her inside to pack whatever she needed. Alice did so without question. As the family drove away, it was the last they'd see of their home. The child began asking questions, yet she was only answered with silence.

The family ended up moving to a distant region, far from their original area. Alice was sent to a new school, unable to make friends with many of the students. She became more distant from her educational life and ended up focusing on other things; her sister, her family, and a new activity she learned to love. Drawing. She was rather good at it too. Either it was humans or pokemon, she could make it. These small things kept her occupied, her mind off of the bullies at school, or the insults slammed at her daily.

When 8th grade passed, she spent most of her time outside, playing with her sister who also liked being outside in the sun. Alice felt relaxed, ready for High School, and to get a chance to meet new people. However, the good times didn't last long. About a week after her last day, tragic stroke the family. The news reported a house being burned to the ground, only one survivor left after the crisis. Alice was that survivor.

She didn't know why she had lived, nor what she would do for a living. She had no family, no friends, no house- nothing except for her chain necklace, and the clothing on her skin. Eventually, the girl found a school known as Richmount Academy. The school took her in, and she grew up distant from the rest of the students. However, the few people she talked to she loved and treated like her family. Alice could relate to many of the people in Rochmount, but stood quiet for no particular reason.

By her Senior year she had given up. Too lazy to do homework, she ended up doing other things to entertain herself. Of course, the girl finished having Fs all over her report card. But she didn't care. However, when she told she couldn't graduate, she freaked out in a small tantrum. Eventually she accepted her fate, and was sent to the Tripon Region to begin her work.

Name: Cheyenne Sharp

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Appearance: Cheyenne has shoulder length, curly, auburn hair and midnight blue eyes. Her hair is often pulled into a ponytail, and is rarely ever seen with her hair down, except when sleeping. Her ponytail is often folded up to fit underneath a red baseball cap. Cheyenne stands at about five foot six. Her skin leans more into a lighter tone, only slightly lighter than a peach color. She would most likely be described as skinny, and is more on the petite side, though she is not to be mistaken as a weak person.

Cheyenne commonly wears a long-sleeved, orange and white stripped shirt. The shirt sleeves are almost always rolled up to her elbows, and she occasionally wears a brown cardigan over top of her shirt. She wears light blue denim shorts. Despite the fact that she prefers to go barefoot, she does have a pair of white sneakers that she will wear in necessary situations.

Personality: Stated simply, Cheyenne is a smart mouth. She tends to be very sarcastic, and is very out spoken. She will not hesitate to say whatever is on her mind, and thus, she often gets herself into various forms of trouble. She will rarely ever admit to being wrong, and usually just shrugs it off when she is meant to do so. She is easily tempered, another attribute to the amount of trouble she gets in, and is thus prone to fighting, even physically if it may come to that. Despite her bad temper and sarcastic nature, she is actually fairly nice, in the sense that she is willing to help others.

Cheyenne strongly dislikes laziness. She does not appreciate when others do not pull their own weight, and will often take action to correct the act. Cheyenne will not openly admit it, but she is terrified of the dark. As a child, it was not a fear she possessed, but it had developed over more recent years. Cheyenne is a hard worker, and is always willing to do more than asked, usually as an attempt to cure her constant boredom. Cheyenne enjoys photography, and is thus often seen with a camera.

History: Cheyenne's past is generally common knowledge. Her mother died when she was still a child, and was raised by her father and older brother, Jayden. Her father spent a lot of time away, thus leaving her and her brother one her own. Her brother was always eight years older than her, yet he never left home for any reason, knowing that she needed to be taken care of. In the eyes of her father, Cheyenne always came in second to Jayden. It may have been because she was the youngest, or because she was a girl, the answer she didn't know.

Cheyenne had been out late at the lake the night everything was lost. Going out the lake at night was her way of calming down, and she had gone after a fight with her father, who had just returned home from a long trip. When she returned home, all the lights were on, so she didn't figure much was going on. Despite the lateness, her father and brother often stayed up at night working on some of her father's research. Though, not finding them in the study did set off an alarm in her head. She soon found out that her father had been murdered. Her brother, on the other hand, was nowhere to be seen. After the events of that night, she waited around town for a couple of months, searching for her brother. She never found any evidence that he had been killed, but he seemed to be missing. This night is what brought forth her fear of the dark, or more accurately, the night time.

Cheyenne decided to go to Richmount in an attempt to move on. Staying in the place she had been wasn't proving useful, and she knew she needed to get on with her life. At Richmount, she tried her best to stay under the radar, but due to her outspoken personality, this proved to be more difficult than she imagined. She constantly got in trouble, the reasons differing between arguing with teachers, to physically fighting with other students. The main reason behind her not graduating, is the immense amount of fights she was in, and the constant vandalizing of school property. The reason behind her vandalizing, is due to when people would refuse to listen to her, so she put her thoughts in places that couldn't be ignored.

Main Goal/Interest: Cheyenne's goal is to be a Pokemon Photographer

Egg Number: 3

RP Sample: Taken from Darkness Reigns

Spoiler:


Is this okay? If anything needs to be fixed or changed, tell me, and I'll do my best to fix it. Also, I want to apologize for how the RP sample looks, my computer is being a little bit difficult.

@ghasteon - You are reserved. :)

@Iwasapony25 - Nice work. The personality is a bit short, but I only asked for a paragraph and your history makes up for it. Never trust the bald spot! Accepted.

@SweetDreams - Good job, you are accepted as well. I hope Alice can make some friends at Sunnyside!

@Fearless Love - Your SU is fine, nothing to fix. I hope we find out what happened to Jayden! Accepted.

All right, three accepted already! No boy characters yet, though. It's the last week of school for me, so I'm hoping we can get started towards the beginning of next week.

Can I reserve a spot for egg number 5 (indigo), please?
I'll have my profile up as soon as I can.

By the way, is the past Rp'ing example a requirement?
This is my first time Rp'ing, so I don't have anything to show you.

However! If you want, I can type up a couple of paragraphs as if I was Rp'ing for something else to give you an example of how I write. Would that suffice?

Welcome, Kiyoshi! You are reserved for egg number five. I hope you enjoy the RP since it's your first one! It'll be okay if you could just type a couple of paragraphs, literally like two, either as the character you sign up as or acting like you are posting for another RP. I'm looking forward to your SU!

Here it is!
------------------------------------------------------
Name:
Valentine Robert Curamos

Gender:
Male

Age:
20 (he was held back a year and was on the older side of the class average anyway)

Appearance:
Valentine is rather tan in skin color, a rich color that's light brown but not completely dark; just as if he goes to the beach every week. He has over the average amount of body hair, but as he is wearing clothing all the time it doesn't really stick out as a feature unless he's wearing a V-Neck or something to the tune of such. However, this does apply to his face, since he's very rugged in the facial hair department. He's surprisingly well-groomed. He has wispy black hair, which isn't particularly long at all. Muscles are barely noticeable.

He wears a red-and-white checkered sweatshirt that's well-fitted and made out of rough material. He wears the hood depending on his surroundings and preference at the time. He wears a white undershirt that is otherwise blank besides for the words "BOMB CAPE" written on it. He wears slightly baggy, olive-colored cargo pants which have a black loop of fabric going down his left side.

Personality:
Resilient: He has a quite intriguing ability to recover from emotional stress easily and quickly, and keep his feelings light and content. But, he has a trouble creating tight emotional bonds with things and people (and Pokémon!), even if he means to; because this interferes with such ability. He can still have meaning to relationships, just not an unbreakable bond.

Honest: He has an inner policy to honest and truthful; to "own up" to things he's done and explains situations in whole as others usually wouldn't. The twist of this is that when he needs to lie or is trying to become a goal, he will use his honesty in funny ways to create a subjective truth so he can progress with something. Some may call this an ability to be misleading or deceitful; he calls this better than flat out lying.

Creative: He lets his mind wander to all corners of his brain. He loves thinking of ideal situations, plot summaries, characters, you name it. He's very idealistic and a bit stubborn about his ideas; which can be crippling in a situation that calls for diplomacy. He possesses knowledge to complete goals and plenty of creativity to especially make something unique and effective, but he tends to drift into ideas instead of dealing with what he has.

Dark….?: Valentine likes thoughts and ideas of dark, macabre things. A bit morbid in mind patterns. And likes it. He uses this to point out horrible things in a situation and for his own enjoyment. This is also deeply rooted in his creativity. This aspect of personality seems to be catching up with him, since the more mature he gets, the more slightly sadistic he seems. Not like he would hurt anyone, but, the air of fear can come from really taking notice of his habits.

Talents: Information Gathering and Application, Creative Thought, Hands-on Things, and Drawing (to a degree)

Weaknesses: Activities Requiring Endurance, Time Limits, and Giving Sympathy

Habits/Foibles: An oral fixation and strange tendencies to shred up cloth and paper into little pieces if they are in his hands.

History:
Before Richmount, valentine was put up in an adoption agency, and his parents were never heard from again. He doesn't know his real last name. He would get adopted, but it would never stick, and he constantly changed house to house and surname to surname. His mind was his home, since the house he was in would only be there for maybe a year, tops. After his last home, The Curamos-es (which he kept their last name), the adoption agency sent him to go live at Richmount. He did decent there, being held back only once. He was usually too busy with his head in the clouds to take notes in classes he wasn't interested in. He had a group of friends he hung out with, but other than that, a bit of a loner. Last year attending, he accidentally poisoned a ton of People and Pokémon because of a screwed up recipe he had made practicing when he was on kitchen duty for a culinary class. This outraged the Headmaster, who told him that this was unacceptable and highly dangerous, and that he was not quite yet fit out for the world of Pokémon. So off to the ranch Valentine goes, to learn more about the fine art of Pokémon and because he almost killed a chunk of the student body. But hey, we're all human and make mistakes.

Main Goal/Interest:
He's mostly interested in becoming a Breeder, and a bit of a Coordinator.

Egg Number: Five (Shiny Indigo)

@Kiyoshi - The personality is a bit different from how it usually is. I don't have much of a problem with it, but some people in future RP's you sign up for might, so watch out for that. The history is only one paragraph, but it's a good-sized paragraph, and I can see a spot where you can split it, so you're also fine. There were some minor grammatical errors, but they weren't too distracting. :P As for the RP Sample:

Other then that, you're doing fine! Battles in the future should of course be longer, but I asked for only a couple of paragraphs so it's okay. I like your style and humor, and I'm looking forward to seeing your character! HOpefully you'll have a good time!

@Xlugon Pyro - You are reserved. I hope you want what's in it, too. ;)

This character is very similar to one I'm using in another RP but I like this character a lot. She's tweaked so that she fits in with this RP.


Name: Xoxaa Lizarkia. Can also be known as Xo, or Lizard because of her last name and her preference for the dragon species of Pokemon.

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Appearance: The first thing anyone would notice about this girl is her appearance. Many would classify her as physically attractive, but if you'd ask her, she'd say she just looks average. Her reddish-brown hair appears soft and when down, extends about half a foot below her shoulders. The girl's skin isn't perfect by any means, being just a bit lighter in tone compared to most others, but you can tell she isn't plagued by scars or acne. Her eyes are a bright shiny blue hue, which complement her skin tone just right. Her body tone is slightly muscular from her participation in sports, but she still has a healthy layer of fat that makes her appear thin, but certainly not borderline anorexic. Also, her boobs: They're big. Deal with it.

Her quirky style shows, often wearing her hair in long pigtails with a bit of hair left out in the front. This girl's clothing style is more ordinary though. In warm weather, she will wear t-shirts that sometimes appear a little too tight on her, and soft miniskirts that follow the old saying, "Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep it interesting", and on some occasions she'll be wearing short shorts if she is working out. Her athletic background will have her wearing tennis shoes or hiking boots if she's out in the wild. Cold weather forces her to dress more modestly, wearing long sleeve shirts, sweaters, and a big white coat for extra cold weather. Skirts are traded in for jean pants most of the time. Her feet are kept snug in big white winter boots.

Personality: Despite how she dresses and how much unwanted attention she can draw to herself, you'd be surprised how modest this girl is. She is extremely shy, and if made really uncomfortable, she's likely to make a run for it. She's also easily embarrassed. She doesn't take compliments well, and has a nasty habit of blushing badly. Many at first glance would consider her another one of the "ditzy blonde" types. This has kept her from being very outgoing so she usually sticks to herself. When she does talk to someone, she can be very friendly and understanding, and those who really get to know her learn that she is funny, strong willed, intelligent, and has a good heart.

However she isn't always the kindest person you'll meet. She is courageous and if someone's in trouble, she'll do her best to help them. If you piss her off, she will try to fight you. ...No lie. She hates seeing people or Pokemon being abused and she has no problem kicking anyone's ass if she sees it fit to do so. Her temperament is unstoppable and unpredictable, just like her Pokemon specialization. However, she can sometimes completely change moods in an instant, leaving everyone puzzled. Her cheesy, close-lipped smile has a tendency to ease the tension in any situation, OR get her into far more trouble than beforehand.

She also loves to sleep, eat, and work out. She's a very simple girl with very big ambitions. Not even her boobs are that big...

History: Xoxaa was born on the island of Cinnabar in the Kanto region to a skilled Pokemon Breeder and previously a powerful Pokemon trainer of the Dragon species. She grew up in the hilly countryside of Cinnabar at the base of the volcano where she could grow up healthy and strong climbing the rocky steppes of Cinnabar. Living with her mother, she helped to tend to the dragon Pokemon her mother raised after her two older brothers left on Pokemon journeys of their own. Some of her mother's Pokemon were even championship Pokemon her mother used to win many battles. Here Xoxaa learned about Pokemon health and how to treat each Pokemon in a special way.

Though she went to school in Cinnabar, she was teased by many of the students as she grew older. However, that soon changed when adolescence kicked in. Her peers went from teasing her to admiring her good looks. However, her grades weren't all that great in school even as she got older, and even though her mother taught her a lot about Pokemon, she still struggled to win their affection. Her mother knew her daughter wanted to become a Pokemon trainer, and so she began to find help outside of Cinnabar Island. However, this was all cut short when the government had recruited her mother for a special top sercret mission that was recruiting top-notch Pokemon trainers. Her mother had to leave abruptly, and Xoxaa was left in charge of the ranch. Her father also had worked for the government on some top secret mission, and her brothers left no way for her to contact them. She was alone with the ranch.

It isn't long before she hears about Richmount Academy and decides to attend, an apparent miracle in all that had just happened to her. She signed up right away and used what money her mother left her to make the trip over. She attended the school for years, and despite her good looks, the only people who wanted to be around her were nerds or horny guys looking for vulnerable prey, which Xoxaa was exceptionally good at handling… with her fists. Which got her into a lot of trouble. She also struggled in school all 4 years, where each new year became more difficult for her. All of the busy work she had to do swamped her, and she began to flunk out towards her late Junior and all of Senior year. When the results came in, she was disappointed, but she expected it anyway. She took the chance, and decided to attend this summer school that Richmount had.

Main Goal/Interest: She seeks to become a dragon tamer master, or in other words, a skilled Pokemon trainer who specializes in dragon Pokemon species.

Egg Number: 13! I hope it's lucky 13 and not Friday the 13th!

RP Sample: I have no recent RPs that I can pull from so I'll have to do what the other person is doing.

@ Xlugon Pyro - another girl...? Just kidding, I loved the SU. Your character should be an interesting addition to the ranch, and I'm sure it'll be fun to see how the others...eh...'react'. ;) Very good, accepted.

I'll keep that all in mind!
Thanks.

The personality was just a bit of a rough overview, there's definitely a lot of personality of Valentine I didn't go into in depth (or at all, because characters grow and react in certain ways in certain situations, etc.) But in any case, thanks for accepting as is.

Grammatical errors? Hm.
Microsoft Word is lying to me. I'll make sure I proofread more often.

Hey, at least it won't be a sausage fest. >.>

That can be good or bad depending on your preferences.

....Sweet or Hot Italian! What were you thinking about?

Name: Adriane Miona Casscade (I felt like putting a middle name.Though its totally made up XD)

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Appearance:

Adriane stands 5"4.She is fairly fit. She has raven black hair that goes just below her shoulders.Her eyes are dark red. She wears a dark purple t-shirt with a blue jean jacket, and loose blue jeans. She weards black flip flops. (And if anybody gives a crud the flip flops are durable) She always wears her hair down, so the only thing she does with it is brush it. She also wears small gold hoop earrings, and a sapphire necklace. She wears dark red biker like gloves. (You know,the kind without the finger covering. ) Her skin is slightly tanned. Her nails are kept a little bit long also.

Personality:

Despite her dark appearance, she's a fun person to be around. She isn't good at making friends, not because she's mean,but just because. Once she has became friends with somebody, she isn't really secretive. She, like most people, loves having fun. If she needs to she'll stand up for her friends and pretty much anybody else, as long as she doesn't hate them,and there isn't many people she hates.
She likes singing, and sometimes listening to some songs can change her attitude around. She like writing songs and stories also,so yes, she does keep a diary, but if its brought up she refers it as a journal. She will not take being made fun of kindly, else she knows they're just joking, and the person doesn't push they're luck. She almost never resorts to violence, but if she absolutly has to she will.
She never judges anybody at first sight. She always gives people a chance, and sometimes, a second chance if they need it. She is usually nice, just not peppy cheery nice. She will be the first to help someone if someone needs helping.


History:

Adriane was born in Jhoto, New Bark Town. When she was 16 her house burnt down, killing her Mom, Dad, and twin one year old brother and sisters. The only reason she survived is because she wasn't home at the time, she was at a friend's house. She was devestated when she found out the house burnt down. She lost everything, and she felt helpless and hopeless. Her best friend and her parents took her in, allowing her to live with them where she didn't have to go to a orphange.
Adriane had to go to Richmond because she couldn't hold up a job. She figured if she got through she'd be able to manage for herself, and stop living with her best friend. It wasn't that she minded living with her best friend, it was that she felt like she was taking advantage of them. If she ever brought it up the argued other wise. She always did her best to help around the house, feeling like it was the only thing she could do to repay them.

Main Goal/Interest: Breeder

Egg Number: 12

Other: Nothing

RP Sample: From Cardcaptoring (My posts arn't usually this long,usually not near this long,but they're usually desent sized.I don't feel like going through all my roleplays and picking the best post,sorry.)

Spoiler:

_______

Okay.That is probably the best...or at least longest most descriptive sign up I've ever done.I am realllllly exited for this roleplay,so I hope I get accepted.If I need to change something I will,even if it requires me finding a different rp sample.Anyways there you go!

@Kiyoshi - DARN WORD! Like I said, they weren't things to be worried about.

@miley810 - I'm glad you're excited, but could you please put spaces between sentences and commas? Basically, whenever you do punctuation put a space. That makes it easier to read and makes your posts look longer If you just do that, I'll be able to read it fine xD Pending.
