EXTERMINATION

Strikit · Oct 25, 2011

EXTERMINATION

In an era where science reigns supreme, discoveries are made daily. Whether it be in medicine, genetics, or Pokémon training leaps forward have been made in the last fifty years. Familiar faces have even been completely replaced by machines; Pokémon Centers are no longer run by nurses, and when one wants to go shopping all they must do is give their order to a machine enclosed in bullet proof glass, and the merchandise will be dispensed. This has become commonplace in society, and in modern day if one were to suggest that nurses and clerks should return they would be regarded as insane.

But even as benign changes like these are made, there are always experiments that the public is not aware of. Twenty years ago research began for a fool-proof way to duplicate the genetic structure of both people and Pokémon. It was referred to as Genetic Organism Duplication -- G.O.D. Finally, these experiments came to fruition. On February 11, 2062 the first Pokémon was successfully cloned. The female Rattata, christened Eve, became the subject of further tests. She lived for five years, far shorter than any natural born Rattata. During her lifetime it was determined that she was unable to bear young, and that it was impossible for a Pokémon to be cloned with a natural eye color; Eve, and all of the Pokémon cloned after her, had black irises. This was looked upon as a scientific curiosity, no more, no less. Sometimes Pokémon would have extra markings as well, such as stripes or spots where a True Born member of the species would not.

Soon after Eve's death, the first human was cloned by Innovative Genetic Experimentation Co. Going with the trend, he was named Adam. Though there was controversy among the scientists over what they ought to do now, he was, in the end, kept as a test subject. Like Eve, he was sterile, and his irises were black. The issue of shortened life had already been remedied with the addition of a longevity gene. Only a select few were allowed to know what the tests were and what they involved but it was commonly rumored that they were painful, inhumane, and sometimes unnecessary.

Unbeknownst to I.C.E.. Co., Adam had been plotting his escape for decades. Since his creation other humans had been cloned, and they were now test subjects, just as he was. His humiliation, pain, and anger had been allowed to simmer for his entire lifetime until finally, he had enough. During one of the tests he managed to escape when the genetic science technician turned his back. Adam managed to steal a single Pokémon from the Pokémon testing wing. Ironically, it was a female Rattata. The first chance he had to reach the main power grid, he turned it off, therefore disabling the electric locks to all of the cages and containment cells, as well as the security systems. I.G.E. Co. was able to recover most of its test subjects after that day, but a number did escape. Sadly, Adam was recaptured, but not before he gave his journal to one of the escapees and told her to get the word out to the public about the treatment they received.

While Adam's motives were pure, there were those who would not settle simply for the downfall of I.G.E. Co. Some would not be satisfied until Synthetics, the term the clones had come up with for themselves, had taken over completely, making the True Born humans their slaves. They prevailed, and within a year the Sinnoh region had succumbed. But there were some True Borns that would not be beaten. They exist all over Sinnoh, always hidden, and their goal is to take their world back. But they lack the resources of the clones. The True Borns' only advantage is that their population can continue to swell naturally, while the Synthetics must resort to cloning to reproduce. And, of course, they have their natural born Pokémon.

As it now stands, any True Born who shows their face in public risks being killed on the spot if they do not conceal the fact that their eyes are colored. Some are not killed, but instead kept for reproductive purposes. Naturally born wild Pokémon are rounded up every day and sent to Biotech Industries, to have their genes harvested for cloning.

The Synthetics, on the other hand, have their own lives to worry about. They are well aware that they are abominations of nature, and every day is a struggle to convince themselves and the world that they have the right to live, to take what ought to be theirs. This involves capturing all of the True Borns and natural Pokémon and putting them in labs to have their genes extracted for reproduction.

The world is in a state of chaos and hostility, and the balance of nature has been disturbed. One way or another, it will right itself. The result could be detrimental to life, and every day the True Borns come ever closer to extinction. If the battle here is not won, the human race will be globally stamped out. The future of the world balances precariously on the decisions of each individual. At every turn, both the True Borns and the Synthetics face extermination.

Plot Summary

You can either be a Synthetic or a True Born. This will greatly affect your role in the RP.

Synthetics: You are merely a product of the True Born's curiosity. You held no more importance than that in society, at least until the Synthetic uprising. Now all of Sinnoh belongs to you. The President is Naomi Johnson, the woman who received Adam's journal when she was a girl. As far as most Synthetics are concerned, she is the hero of the universe. She leads the movement to capture all True Borns and incarcerate them.

T.B.R.A.: True Born Recovery Agents are employed by the Synthetic government to find and either capture or kill True Borns and natural born Pokémon. They are the only individuals permitted to train Naturalized Pokémon -- Synthetic Pokémon that have been enclosed in a Biodome engineered by Biotech Industries for no more than one year and no less than six months. These Pokémon are meant to combat the naturally born Pokémon of the True Borns. The T.B.R.A. headquarters is in Sunyshore, the Synthetic capitol of Sinnoh.

True Borns: The True Borns are simply humans that were born naturally. Their goal is to regain control of the Sinnoh region, and stop the Synthetics from taking over the rest of the world. There are varying degrees of viciousness among them. Some would kill a Synthetic on sight, while others would rather reason with them. They hide in all sorts of places; underground forts, abandoned buildings, and settlements in the woods. They are only able to come out at night, though some braver individuals will venture forth during the day. There are no different factions to the True Born movement. In an effort to keep some form of political order, the president is Xavier Wilcott. He was a well respected political leader before the Synthetic movement.

Important People

Adam

Adam was the first cloned human. His creation was symbolic in scientific history, proving that man could indeed triumph over nature. But man took it too far. He was kept as a test subject and experiments were performed on him and the Synthetics that followed daily. These experiments ranged from harmless and beneficent to excruciatingly painful, lethal, and unnecessary. Adam put up with it for decades until finally he'd had enough. As soon as the opportunity showed itself Adam escaped, stole a Rattata, and set as many of the other Synthetics free as he could. Sadly, he was captured, but not before he gave the Rattata and his journal to one of the Synthetics he set free. It is unknown what happened to him afterward.

Naomi Johnson

The legal leader of the Sinnoh region, Naomi Johnson is the cloned human that Adam gave his journal and Rattata to before he was captured. Her ownership of the journal led her to become something of an icon to the Synthetics. She is never seen without the Rattata, which she christened Everette in honor of the first cloned Rattata. Everette is her only Pokémon, and has since evolved into Raticate. Johnson assembled a small army of fugitive Synthetics and they began to attack Sinnoh cities. Over time more Synthetics joined until she had a legion behind her. Jubilife, the capitol of Sinnoh, was the last city to fall. The capitol of Sinnoh is now Sunyshore, seeing as Johnson thinks the close proximity to the sea is more conductive to naval warfare if the need arises. She resides in Sunyshore, in the building that was once the gym. She runs a clean government with the best interests of the people in mind, and always strives to do what the people need. Recently she published Adam's journal, worsening the hatred of the True Borns for the Synthetics. Naomi Johnson is the founder of Biotech Industries. Rumor has it that she knows Adam's whereabouts.

Xavier Wilcott

Xavier Wilcott was a well respected liberal politician before the Synthetic movement. He was unaware of I.G.E. Co.'s attempts to clone organisms, and only knew of I.G.E. Co's success when the first escaped Synthetics began appearing near cities. Afraid of what could happen, he was with the committee that moved to have them rounded up and contained, but they were too late. The Synthetics had already begun taking over the smaller towns. Knowing that the battle was already lost, Wilcott went into hiding in the Old Chateau in Eterna Forest. It was pure blind luck that the squads of Synthetics sent to find True Borns did not search the Chateau, leaving him to fight another day. Moving under the cover of darkness, Wilcott set to work making sure that the boards on the windows were light proof, and making the inside of the Chateau habitable. His efforts proved profitable. Xavier Wilcott's next move was to find as many True Borns as he could. He informed him of the Chateau and took them back there. After a time the Chateau became somewhat like a miniature city. He was elected president almost immediately. Publicly, his plans are to repopulate to at least one hundred and storm city after city mercilessly until Sinnoh belongs to the True Borns again. By his side is a Zangoose named Jack that he has had since he was a young boy.

~~~

Original Pokéballs are not in use on the Synthetic side. They have developed three varieties of their own, and they are as follows.

The Primary Ball

A device for containing Pokémon. This ball can be used to capture wild Pokémon, either for training or to be sent to the designated location for naturally born Wild Pokémon. It has a grey top, a light blue bottom, and a slightly darker blue band.

The Magna Ball

The Magna Ball is one step up from the Primary Ball. It has a higher catch rate and is more technologically advanced than the Primary Ball. It has a dark purple band, a primarily grey top, purple bottom, and a purple circle on the top.

The Gene Ball

When one goes to I.G.E. Co. to get a cloned Pokémon this is the ball that it comes from. They are also provided when a Synthetic government official intends to capture a cloned Pokémon from one of the Biodomes all across Sinnoh. It is possible but not necessary to then transfer the Pokémon to a Primary or other ball. It has a primarily navy blue top with two thick electric green stripes, an electric green bottom, and a forest green band.

The Synthetic Pokémon all have the capability to learn the move Splice at level 30. Splice is an energy consuming finishing move, such as Close Combat or Overheat, of the Dark type. The eyes of the Pokémon glow dark purple and they spew a beam of pure energy from some part of their body which differs from species to species; for instance, Blastoise attacks from its cannons, and Staryu attacks from its gem, while Charizard attacks from its mouth. If Splice hits it contorts the DNA structure of the target, causing intense pain. In some cases if the Pokémon is strong enough mutations may be observed in the targets of this attack. Thus far, this has only been observed once in Synthetic history. After using Splice a Pokémon begins to feel fatigued and perhaps even nauseous. It is very unlikely that it would be able to continue battling. In some instances the user has even died if they were already low on energy. As a result, Splice is only used when completely necessary.

Additional Faction
The Darkhearts, an assassin group that must be able to follow orders down to the letter. They have to do what they're told, nothing more nothing less, with utter neutrality. If their neutrality is compromised another agent will be sent and they will be eliminated. A Darkheart must be able to move quickly and silently and must possess extraordinary physical and mental strength. They will do any job, provided that the pay is right, and they don't need friendliness or charisma, as their job doesn't require association with others. They are comprised of True Borns. However, if you can come up with a good reason for a Synthetic Darkheart I'll think about it.

SU!

Whoooo! First SU!<3

Name: Colbie Veronica Simmons
Age: 19-21 (Physically) Biologically Unknown
Gender: Female
Faction: Synthetic; Rebellious; T.B.R.A

Appearance:
First off, Colbie is a natural beauty. Being a Synthetic, the scientist who cloned her, cloned her to be one of the most beautiful they ever had, as an experiment with combining genes from several True Borns. This series of experiments' purpose was to make one Synthetic with the extreme of a trait. (I.e. beauty, rage, lust, innocence, etc) Colbie just happened to be the one that was created for beauty. Colbie is of an average height, but can be considered somewhat tall, and slim, with long, tanned legs, and a slightly curved shape to her body. Her body has the show of being moderately active and athletic, but is also feminine; Colbie takes very good care of her cloned body and skin.

Colbie has a heart-shaped face, with a small, petite mouth, and a slightly turned up small nose. Her eyes are coal-black, like every Synthetic, and she has never wished them to be colored. She is very proud of her Synthetic nature, and finds True-born quirks to be detestable. She has golden-blonde hair, what flows to her waist in elegant curls, which she straightens from time to time. Colbie's hair is unable to be dyed. She found that any type of dye washes out almost instantly, and she believes it to be a strange Synthetic quirk.

Colbie is naturally very feminine; this was basically etched into her genes from her 'birth'. She loves all light colors, but has a fondness for darker colors as well. She likes to wear skirts and shorts, but will not be caught dead in sweatpants, even when she's exercising. She likes to show off her legs, so she tries to steer-clear of longer pants besides jeans. Colbie likes silk above most clothing materials, and detests all woolen products, including coats, hats, and gloves. Her absolute favorite outfit of her large collection of clothes consists of:

White denim jean shorts, with blue-stitched trim and a small cross-stitched star on the right front pocket, and a brown tank top with a modest neckline. This shirt is longer, and goes to halfway cover up her jean shorts. For shoes, she usually wears heels like white strappy heels, which add around three inches to her height. Her hair is usually down and curly, the curls making her hair bouncy and light.

Colbie loves to accessorize, just like every young fashionista does. She loves to wear white and black bangles with the above outfit, and a few rings from time to time. Her fingernails are French-tipped, to match her toes. Her favorite earrings are simple sterling silver hoops, and a diamond stud in her second piercing. Also, she usually wears simple silver studs in her cartilage piercing. Colbie likes make up of all kinds. She loves to sit in front of her vanity and match up her eyeliner, mascara, and eye shadow with her new outfit, and lip gloss. She keeps her eyebrows very up-to-date, so they are always perfectly waxed and arched.

Colbie never unnaturally tans, like in booths or spray-tans. She always naturally tans in the outdoors, and finds that not tanning naturally is terrible on a Synthetic and can badly damage anyone's skin. (I.E. Skin cancer, dry skin, etc.) She also doesn't whiten her teeth, something in her genes keep them perfect at all times.

Personality:
On the outside, Colbie seems to be a perfectly normal girl. Well, that's because she's very good at acting normal. Colbie is mentally insane and unstable, and has been for a few years now. Colbie first started to become unstable when they, the scientists who cloned her, informed her that she was not a naturally borne human, that she had been cloned from the genes of several different True-Born women. She's very good at hiding her mental issues, and acts like a completely normal girl. Most of the time.

Colbie has a sweet side, but it's not like the sweetness of True-Borns. It's synthetic, just like her birth. It isn't real, just a mirage to mask her true insanity from her victims. She uses a different kind of sweetness, using it in a sinister way to get what she wants. Her form is deceitful and cunning, masking her true goals with innocence. She finds it funny how most true-borns she finds are so gullible, and are easily fooled by her masquerade. She is sinister, deceiving, and hateful at heart, which came with her insanity. She's an amazing actress, having to learn the tricks of the trade to get where she wants to be. She's a natural temptress, using her extreme beauty to lure those weak at heart and mind to do her bidding. She's a flirt, but hurts those that fall for her. She has no conscience. Only her insanity. She's even gone as far as to either; 1. Trick True-Borns into believing she's one of them, but disguised as a Synthetic. Or 2. Wear color-contacts to trick them into thinking she's mortal. She is safe from being mistaken as a True-Born, killed by the T.B.R.A, because she is well-known in the Synthetic society, especially because of her high-ranking status on the T.B.R.A.

Colbie Simmons is one of the highest officers in the T.B.R.A. She is basically Naomi Johnson's second in command. She's worked with them ever since they were created, and prides herself on her status. Though Colbie is undeniably insane, nobody knows this. Honestly, she has learned to hide it so well over the years that she seems to just be a cold, calculating high officer. All of her insane traits are very well hidden, and since she is a murderer, she usually passes any blame of murder onto another person with ease. Her true self is seldom let out, and it is much like she has two personalities.

Colbie finds True-Borns to be a complete waste of space and oxygen. She hates them with every fiber of her artificial being, and she's damn proud of it. Colbie will kill, not just mutilate, but murder any True-Born that she finds. She has no sympathy for them what-so-ever, and will even go as far as to kill those Synthetics that she knows who sympathize with those 'disgusting creatures'. She is well-trained in the art of killing and deceiving, and she's prized by the T.B.R.A for her talents. All of the other Synthetics are well aware that she is insane, but she acts more normal when she's not thinking about the meaning of her life, or True-Borns. As said above, she's very good at acting sane, but on the inside, she's an unstable bomb just waiting to explode.
Colbie's insanity is believed to be caused by refusal to believe that she has not true place on the Earth. She struggled with the fact that she wasn't conceived and borne naturally, and that she really shouldn't exist. These thoughts drove her into depression, suicidal thoughts, and eventually her completely insane state that she is in now. Now she finds natural birth disgusting. Who would want to be born messily from a woman, anyway? Revolting.

Colbie really doesn't have a kind, sweet side. At all. She's serious all of the time. Seriously. She doesn't remember that last time she's laughed. Well, the last time she laughed in the good way, not the insane giggles or maniac cackles that escape her lips. She smiles, but it's usually just a faint ghost of one, and you only see her teeth when she bares them like a rabid animal when she's in one of her hysteric rages. Her only real emotions are hatred, anger, rage, lust, seriousness, and just a blank, empty emotion. She hasn't actually smiled since she was a newer Synthetic, since she was acquainted with Adam. The only time she ever shows happy emotions is when she's playing True-Born, when she acts normal.

Colbie can be set offif you even mention the word 'True-Born', or even just the word 'natural'. And you really don't want to see her mad, because she will kill you. She has no remorse, especially for true life. Her temper can be set off by the slightest thing, but it usually isn't by her fellow Synthetics. She has no mercy, for Synthetics, True-borns, and Pokemon alike. She will kill you at no personal cost, and you would be wise to tread lightly.

History:
Colbie was borne, like all Synthetics, in a research lab, the same one where Adam was borne and housed in. She doesn't remember her birthday, even though she was 'borne' fully grown; another experimental process the scientists were conducting at the time. Colbie's birth records were lost by a lazy secretary, and never seen again after that, so nobody knows how old Colbie actually is. Scientists have deduced that she is physically nineteen to twenty-one, but biologically, they're guessing a good amount older. Something in her genes was corrupted when she was made, and her features will not change with age. This may be an average girl's dream, but it doesn't matter to Colbie. She finds worrying about age and what others think of you overrated and weak, too True-Born like.

Colbie lived in the laboratory in a room next to Adam's. She didn't have many friends at first, but soon became more charismatic with time. She became friends with Adam quickly after that, and some believe that they were involved in a romantic relationship, Colbie and Adam both denied it. Colbie was somewhat resented by other Synthetics, as she was the most beautiful of everyone there. Even most female scientists detested her. But, at the beginning, she was sane and naive. She didn't notice the mean glares and nasty comments.

Colbie didn't actually know that she wasn't a 'natural' human until many years after her creation, and she wasn't always insane. She had been told at the beginning that she was sick, and her memory was lost of the past, and that she was a hospital to run tests to help her remember. She accepted that as truth, until Adam informed her of her true origins. Colbie had to believe Adam, as he was her best friend. She had a panic attack, and fainted. When she awoke, the scientists explained to her what and who exactly she was. Colbie was so shocked, that she went into a coma that night.

When Colbie awoke, it was four months after she was told. She believed it all to be a dream, and went on as she did before she went into the coma. But the scientists that were testing her became more sinister. The tests began to cause excruciating pain; nothing like Colbie was used to. She was never used as what the Synthetics called a 'gene pool', however. 'Gene pool' is a slang term used by the bitterest Synthetics, which means they only wanted you for the good genes they could use for another Synthetic, like, in Colbie's case, beauty and agelessness. She was able to avoid dropping to that low on the food chain, how she did it, nobody knows.

Colbie didn't accept that she was a Synthetic until later in her life. She was being tested for exactly why her age wasn't showing in her features, and she was crying from the terrible pain she was suffering from the incisions they had made in her arms. She didn't understand why they didn't stop the hurt, until she glanced at a computer.

It read 'Colbie Veronica Simmons, Synthetic homo sapien. Female, biological age unknown. Physical age; nineteen years to twenty one years. Mated: No.' The facts on her whole life went on and on. This is the time when she started going insane. She wouldn't believe that humans could care so little, even if she wasn't supposed to be alive. She ran from the room, hysteric, but was caught and sedated by a guard.

That's when she really lost it.

Outside, she was the normal, beautiful Colbie everyone and known. Inside, she was rotting away like an apple. Pretty and perfect and red on the outside, but rotten and brown at the first bite. She stewed in her own self-pity and longing, until Colbie was gone, replaced by a more sinister, insane girl that nobody knew. She had heard so much from the scientists, those scientists stupid enough to speak against Synthetics among them. They said how they were disposable creatures; some even said they shouldn't be allowed to live after their testing was over.

Colbie started to crave blood, spilled blood. Of those True-Borns who thought they were so much better because they were born from a 'real' woman and man's joining. She started to plot to kill her guards and the scientists, ignoring Adam's pleas for her to think about what she was planning.

He planned the break out partially for Colbie's sake, and she was one of the first to get away. She hid in the forest, plotting with her fellow Synthetics to take over the True-Born world, the world they believed that had a right to be in. It happened, they took over. And Colbie resides in Sunyshore, in a rather large house by the ocean. She is almost never home anymore; she's usually out hunting down True-Borns or working/training with the T.B.R.A, where she had become a head officer not too long after joining.
She is working towards the EXTERMINATION.

Pokémon:
Species: Luxray
Gender: Female
Born: Synthetic
Moves: Spark, Thunder, Thunder Fang, Charm, Splice

History: Luxray was acquired as a mere Shinx right before the Synthetics broke out of the laboratory. Colbie stole the synthetically born Pokemon from the lab before she got out of the lab herself. There really isn't much you need to know about Luxray, she hasn't had a very interesting past. Most of it was filled by training and punishment, and Colbie warping her mind against anything True-Borne.

Personality: Luxray is almost as crazy as Colbie herself is. Colbie trained her seriously hard, and the strain of her body drove her insane over time. She is the Pokemon twin of Colbie. Luxray is maniac and insane, working only towards killing off all True-Borns and leaving Synthetics as supreme rulers. She will kill on the first word from Colbie, or, more likely, the first gesture or meeting of a True-Born.

RP Sample: Jooh know meee, Strikitt, but I can write up something if you wishh. ;D

Do you like the changes I made to her character? I do:)

Name: Logan Oliver Arkright
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Faction: True Born

Appearance: Logan has short spiky brown hair. He has brown eyes, but just above his left eye he had a deep cut that bleeds when he smiles. Logan is very tall, he has been around 6 foot since he was 13. Logan wears black skinny jeans with a black belt and a blue T-shirt with sunglasses to cover his eyes. Logan also carries a black shoulder bag that carries all his supplies.

Personality: Due to bieng locked up in a house not seing other people his age ever for most of his life Logan is very nervous around anyone. He has always suffered from anxiety problems but with the region in the mess it is in now his condition is becoming increasingly worse. Fortunately Logan is a very good actor and can put on a face and pretend everything is alright when really it isn't. Logan has seen the devestation that has befallen the region and in his opinion it is proof that you can't trust anybody, Trueborns made the Synthetics and tortured them so in Logan's opinion they are all as bad as each other. The only people Logan ever trusted were his grandmother and his pokemon. Logan also has a very short temper, he tries to be nice to people but because he hasn't seen anybody save his grandmother all his life he is not sure how people will react and if they don't react the way he expects he will get very anfry maybe even lashing out at them no matter what gender.

History: When he was very young Logan and his grandmother left their home region of Hoen where they lived in Slateport city and moved to Sinnoh. Logan's grandmother was very unstable and distrusted people from Sinnoh so she moved to her and Logan into into an old abandoned house on Iron Island away from amy people. Logan grew up away from people not socially interacting with anyone save his grandma who was even more unstable than him.

When Logan was 10 years old he was given his first pokemon a Mudkip that his grandma had brought with her from Hoen, at first he was wary of Mudkip and didn't know what to expect but eventually they bonded well and now they really trust each other. When his grandma saw what was happening in Sinnoh with the Synthetics on the rise she began to really scare Logan, every shadow she saw she thought it was a Synthetic.

Once she told logan that there were boats surrounding the island and that the Synthetics had come to kill her so she told him to hide in the cave. Logan couldn't here anybody coming and told her there was nothing there, he went to have a look outside and when he came back for his grandmother Logan saw that she was dead, the Synthetics had murdered her.

Logan was all alone and although he was convinced there was nobody there he knew now that his grandmother had been right and they had killed her. So he got on his grandmothers sailing boat and arrived at Sinnoh. He saw people for the first time and he was frightened. So Logan ran only travelling under cover of darkness when there was less people about.

As Logan was travelling he met a pokemon on the road he met a pokemon that looked like a horse. Logan was scared so he got Mudkip to defend him and after a short battle Logan attempted to catch the pokemon, luckily all that battling with pokemon in the cave on Iron island payed of and he caught the pokemon. Logan had no Idea what the pokemon was but he let it out of the pokeball and the pokemon made a noise "Ponyta" Logan figured it was probably called Ponyta and continued his journey into the night.

Logan eventually found a dark forest and after reading the sighn it was called Eterna forest. Venturing inside Logan was very scared he kept hearing people shouting his name they were after him and they were going to kill him Logan ran into an old hut he saw for safety "The Old Chateau" he would be safe inside.

Pokemon

Species: Mudkip (Walking Pokemon)
Gender: Female
Type: Naturalised
Moves:
1. Water Gun
2. Takedown
3. Whirlpool

Your story idea is really good by the way!

Beegu · Oct 30, 2011

Sweet! this sounds really cool! just to let you know I tweaked it since yesterday a bit. Here's my SU:

Name: Alias: Charon Guard
Age: Unknown; claims 16
Gender: Male ♂
Faction: True Born
Appearance:
Charon has irises the color of coffee. He has boyish features, physically and mentally. His hair is a navy blue and spiky, falling around his face. He is a bit over five feet tall, and is quite thin because he hasn't had a full meal in at least a decade. He is quite fast, stealthy, and flexible. His skin is pale from hiding in shadow for most of his life. All of his clothes are worn and ragged, even ripped in places. He almost always wears the sky blue gloves and boots he is seldom seen without, and they are worn quite thin. He has a small wardrobe, so he commonly wears a tan long-sleeve shirt and pants, both ripped and cuffed at the end. He also likes to wear a torso piece the same blue as his gloves and boots, and a brown belt. He wears a greenish-blue cape that makes him feel less like a poor loner. He keeps his blue-green had with him at all times, even when asleep. Although torn more than any of his other clothes, he could never part with it. It is the only thing left of his lost life.
Personality:
Charon has been a scavenger for as long as he could remember. He can be short tempered because he has spent so much time out of society. Charon acts very immature for his age as he has been out of sync with society. Academically, is is far behind for his age being deprived of any education, however, he is brimming with common sense, cleverness, cunning, and tactic. He could have been a fine young man, but has been forced into the life of theft. He is very good at this, being sneaky and stealthy. He enjoys relaxing and being solitary. He has gotten used to a life of theft, and doesn't feel it is wrong, but necessary for his survival. He has mixed feelings for his parents. He hates them for abandoning him. He hates them for not leaving him with so much as a name. But he misses then. He wants to see them every minute. With the current situation at hand, Charon is very scared. He is afraid that the synthetics would torture and kill him if they find him. He pushed the thought back with another one. He is sure that the would not find him. He has stolen items without a trace for years. He believes as long as he is very careful, they would never find him. Charon takes great pride in his skill. Also, he seems to know when a synthetic is nearby, he can usually see through their disguises. This bizarre ability is either really good or awfully bad.
History:
The boy was born in Eterna City into a family that wasn't rich, but wasn't too poor. Up until he was 4 he enjoyed a fine and "normal" lifestyle with both his parents.However, when the boy was 4, they visited family in Floaroma town, and they left him. The only thing they left with him was a blue-green hat with unknown origins. He doesn't remember his parents except in old memories like blurry photos.
For a while he survived off of the flowers in Floaroma meadow surrounded by nice but curious grass type pokemon. They were kind to him and brought him occasional food, but the boy couldn't really connect to them. He began to call himself Charon Guard when he began to scavenge around the Floaroma/route 205 area. Charon slowly lost track of months and years, even his age slipped his mind. He continued this lifestyle expanding his range of theft from Eterna forest to route 204. One day while9-year-old Charon was hiding in the cave in the middle of route 204, a golden sableye snuck up on him and startled him. Charon began to see the same sableye more and more often. Realizing what the sableye wanted, Charon stole a pokeball. It had a black top with two vertical yellow lines on the top. He returned to the cave to find the golden sableye waiting patiently for Charon with a gleam in his eyes. Charon tapped the pokeball to the pokemon's head and the sableye disappeared gladly into the sphere. Soon Charon and the sableye who he named Mont were fine friends, looting from travelers.
When news of the synthetics, he fled into the eterna forest. Deeper than he'd ever been. He spent many nights trying to navigate the woods, but spent most days hiding just in case the synthetics would check there. Sure enough, not a week after he ran to the forest, groups of synthetics passed through. A few days later, True Borns began to navigate the forest as well. Soon, plenty of people were traveling through here. Charon decided that they most be moving to a safe place, so one night he slipped into the crowd. Sure enough, they reached a large building. He believed it was called the old Chateau. He'd heard mention of it several times when scavenging in eterna forest before. When he walked inside, it had been nicely redone and many people already resided there. A man who called himself Xavier Willcott welcomed him. Charon would be safe here.
Pokémon:

Spoiler:

Name: Mont
gender: Male ♂
species: Sableye
appearance: A "shiny" sableye a.k.a. Golden instead of purple. Nonetheless he can fade to a shadow just fine.
origin: True Born
Moves: Foul Play, Sucker Punch, Shadow Ball, Shadow Claw, Dig
personality:
Good hearted, but sneaky and overall quite like it's trainer. Loves to play pranks and scare passers. Also enjoys life like Charon: looting from travelers, but not to an extent, as he is not cruel. Mont can often be quite mischievous. Sometimes he sneaks of cloaked by shadows to freak out people. He would consider living in the old Chateau a great place to live out this profession if it weren't for the desperation of the situation at hand, but like Charon, he thinks he could give the synthetics and their pokemon quite a chase.
history:
Mont was born on Iron island with four brothers and three sisters. He was always a bit of an outcast in his family being a bright gold color. There were many wonderful minerals on the island, and several travelers to freak out. Mont was very happy there. However, while Mont was still young, an explorer sacked him, presumably because he had no "Power spheres", and brought him back to Candalave city. The man was planning to show of Mont's "true colors" and trained him brutally. Shortly, Mont escaped and ended up in the Oreburgh mine. He was there for a while and there were a variety of minerals and gems to eat. Eventually, some workers chased him off for eating their rocks. They had enough to share Mont had thought. He wandered in the shadows to route a cave on 205. It was not as tasty as the Oreburgh mine or Iron Island, but there were plenty of travelers to scare. But a certain boy caught his eyes. He didn't just travel through the cave, he stayed there. He scared travelers just like Mont had, and he sometimes took portions of their supplies. One day Mont made up his mind: he wanted to be the boy's partner, so he went up to him. Eventually, the boy understood. Finally, he was caught by the boy. However, he spends most of his time out of his pokéball, preferably a look our on Charon's sholder or head. For several years they raided food and supplies, including a TM for Mont, and scared passers by. There had been recent news of synthetics, and the duo fled into a forest. As Mont learned more of the synthetics, he understood why they had fled. Finally they had arrived at an old mansion. There were several humans and pokemon there. He stayed perched on Charon's shoulder. He assured Mont that they would be safe there.

Spoiler:

Murk the Marshtomp heard a voice say something up ahead muffled by the trees. Then he nearly recoiled as Brink's words pierced his ears as clearly as if they were right next to each other.

"MuRK HELP!!!" She had yelled. Murk sprinted towards her voice. For an old froslass, Brink moved fast.
When Murk reached the scene, he was already out of breath. His eyes widened as he saw Brink dodge a vine whip of a weepinbell with a speedy jerk. She obviously didn't want to fight it. Murk stepped in front of Brink and stood in a battle stance. As quickly as he could, he summoned a brown whirlpool around himself.

"MUDDY WATER!!!" He shouted as the water gushed from the ground. Normally, it was easy to dodge the muddy gush, but here, all the water splashed against the trees, and a fair amount of it rebounded towards the Weepinbell.
The Weepinbell lay stunned on the ground. Before it could get up, however, Murk stepped on one of the leaves on its head. He spoke calmly and slowly.

"Listen here. We have no score to settle with your people. We do not want to fight. We advise that your people do not fight with us. We do not enjoy fighting, but we can harness the great power of the sea if we do. We advise that you stay away." Suddenly, a though occurred to him. "Unless, you would be so kind as to escort us to the column of smoke." He then realized that the sky was too obscured by the trees to see the smoke, but maybe the weepinbell knew what he was talking about. He turned to Brink for support.

"... Ok. I'll... Hey, where'd the Frosslass go?" The weepinbell had said exactly what Murk was thinking. When he had turned around, he saw but trees. The sound of Murks name echoed through the trees as it had a minute ago.

"MUUURRRKKKK!!!!!!" What was he, a maid? Why couldn't the seeress fight off one weepinbell. Or was she faced with a caterpie this time?
He ran to inspect what maid Murk Could do for the Seeress this time. When he stepped out into a clearing, he was paralyzed for half a second in fear. An angry Steelix was headed full-speed towards Brink with his tail aglow. Again Murk stood in front of brink and yelled

"MUDDY WATER!!!" A spiral of dirty liquid surrounded Murk. Luckily, the Steelix charged square into his attack and toppled backwards. Out of the corner of his eye Murk could see that he had also caught a graveler off guard. The steelix regained it's balance and once again charged at them with iron tail, but he seemed a lot angrier this time. Again a spiral of muddy water surrounded Murk. However, this time the iron snake curved around the spurt of mud and attacked from the back. The iron tail hit him square in the back of the head. The blow sent him soaring forward into the ground. All the wind was knocked out of him. He couldn't breath. He couldn't get up. The steelix advanced on him. He sent Brink a message with his eyes

Help!

I've looked at your SUs and will be accepting and denying them tomorrow. I will also be adding another faction, the DarkHearts -- an assassin society type thing at the behest of pikakip. Keep in mind if I accept your SU and you want to change your faction to the DH, I have to re-accept it. Also, everyone looks good, just make sure to double check your facts. I'll get more in depth tomorrow.

miltankRancher · Oct 31, 2011

Yay! I'll SU!

Name: Heinrich "Hein" Stewart

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Faction:True Born

Appearance: Hein is a lanky guy, standing at a height of 5'8". Because of his height, he had a hard time evading several T.B.R.A agents. His eyes are of the color green, a striking color among all the black irises around him. This is further punctuated by a dirty-yellow shoulder-length hair sometimes carelessly bundled by a rubber band. It had been a few months since he last seen sunlight, therefore resulting to a pale skin.

Before the incident, he preferred to wear coats and tie, like all the aristocrats outside. However, when the Synthetics arrived and killed his parents, he left Eterna City to live as an outcast in the Old Chateau. The only possession he is left with is his grey T-shirt, carelessly grabbed while escaping from their old home. He also had a faded-out jeans and green jacket while scavenging for scraps in the nearby Eterna City.

Personality: Hein is your average son-type of a guy. He is a good person, and even better Trainer. He is academically gifted, graduating with honors in the Pokemon School. He is well-liked by the people surrounding him. When he traveled as a trainer, Hein managed to collect seven badges before the Synthetic incident. He loves exploring places with his father, and can be very curious about things. He used to be pretty spoiled about by everything, before becoming a trainer. He can also be very fickle and emotional. Nowadays, he tends to be alone. The previous Hein, as he put it, had died with his father. He vowed to get revenge on the world that killed his father.

History: Hein was born to a wealthy, aristocratic family. His father is a wealthy businessman who manages the smooth running of the Oreburgh Mines. When he graduated in the Pokemon School in Eterna Town, he lived off independently to become a renowned trainer. However, as soon as he started his journey, he realized he couldn't live without the support of his parents. He went back to their home, with the disappointment of his father with his only son. In his kind words, he explained that kids need to move out to start a journey, but Hein couldn't be comforted. Therefore, his father decided to travel with him until Hein can do it himself already. His father accompanied him until Hein acquired the second badge in Eterna.

When he reached Sunyshore City, the town was in chaos. The Synthetic have taken control over the town, and the citizens were being rounded up by the minute. He tried to ran away, but was captured by the Synthetics. Fortunately, he wasn't killed on the spot. He learned there that the Synthetics took control of over all of Sinnoh. He managed to escape, along with a few prisoners. When he came back to Eterna, he was too late. His parents had been killed, and the city was swarming with T.B.R.A. He decided to run to the Old Chateau, where there are still True Borns living.

Personality: Lizzy is extremely helpless. She's to trusting of people and thinks everyone should get along believing in the values that there should be world peace. The whole situation about all the fighting confuses her greatly due to her young age and she doesn't understand why the Synthetics hate the true bloods.

That she has to survive whatever is going on around her even if she doesn't understand it.

History: Lizzy was born to Bret and Joan Martin. On the way home from the hospital there was a car crash that killed her mother.

Okay – so it begins.

Jess, my darling, you know you are always accepted. Brilliant to see your writing.

Lancashireguy – I need to hear a better reason for that cut above Logan's eye bleeding when he smiles. That doesn't quite click medically, and I'm all about logic and medicinally correct things. I definitely need to see more depth on your Appearance, perhaps more detail on his physique and quirks, and more depth in his choice of depth. How would the Synthetics have known Logan's name when he was going into Eterna? I'll need a good reason. And remember -- the Chateau isn't a hut. It's a sprawling, expansive mansion. Naturalized Pokemon are only for the TBRA. I see what you did there, but remember that Naturalized Pokemon are Synthetic Pokemon that have been allowed to live in the biodome so that they'll act like wild Pokemon when they're caught. I know I sound nitpicky, but I really want to make sure everyone is on the same page here, and I want to make sure you know what to expect from the roleplay. No worries, you're pending. Just considered the things I mentioned and you'll be good.

Beegu, you're in. I just love Charon immediately. Since you're the first one to mention a shiny, you get to keep your shiny Sableye. Consider yourself lucky on that one, I have serious qualms about giving natural Pokemon special colors. You're accepted.

Phoenix987 – you're reserved.

miltankRancher, you are the last person I am letting have a shiny TB Pokemon. The rarity of Eevee makes it seem more likely that you'd get a shiny that way, so kudos. You're accepted.

Megaman765, you know you have a spot. Get that SU in. Reserved.

Kip, if I need a Co-GM you're certainly my first choice. Get yo SU in. I'm writing up the info for the Dark Hearts now. Reserved.

~Genevieve~, you're kinda going the Mary-Sue direction here. Be careful. Not only did she have the brightest blue eyes anyone had ever seen at birth, but her mother was also killed almost right after birth, she was blinded, and she can communicate with Pokemon. I'm just not buying that. Besides, there's no way she'd survive on her own, blind and on the run. With so many well sighted TBRA and their Pokemon it's simply not possible. I need you to make some revisions, and we'll see from there. Pending.

My SU. <3

Name: Calixte Vione

Age: 22

Gender: Female

Faction: True Born

Appearance: Calixte is of no impressive height, but her mannerisms and method of carrying herself makes her seem taller. Due to her lack of interest in eating and focus on physical wellness she's slim, her feminine curves minimized in favor of strength. Her skin is slightly tanned from genetics. Full lips, striking grey eyes, shoulder length chocolate brown hair, and well proportioned facial features make her an attractive femme fatale. She has no qualms with using her looks to get what she wants from others and so she makes sure her appearance is well kept at all times, at least as much as she can. The difficulty of caring for her hygiene forces her to allow herself to fall into physical disarray, but she'll be so bold as to break into a house and use their shower if she begins to feel too nasty.

Calixte's favorite outfit consists of skin tight leather pants, black boots with a slight heel, and a black sweater over an undershirt of the same color. However, she's not entirely impractical. When she's going to be out on the field she wears thickly soled black boots, black shorts, a black undershirt, and a short sleeved white button down, unbuttoned. When she's going on raids, she wears a Mightyena-skin cloak over her clothes. The head of the Mightyena goes over her head and her eyes peek through the eyeholes, giving her a savage, vicious appearance.

Personality: Sarcastic, self-centered, and focused only on her own agenda, Calixte is comprised of sugar and spice -- the sugar being, of course, a facade. An excellent actress, she can change her persona in a split second to suit her needs. Because of this she often surprises people who think they know her when the need to become someone else arises. She has been called a sociopath, and she doesn't even try to deny it. She cares for very few people, and she has no desire to become a more social being. Any organization she belongs to is simply for her own well being. The looming event of being given her first Pokemon was her first reason for her desire to join Team Rocket. The reason she stays with Xavier is mostly because she enjoys raiding and she thinks that perhaps staying will help her get ahead.

Calixte has a complete lack of patience for disobedience. Anyone who is supposed to listen to her had better do so, because she has no issues with striking them down and telling Xavier a Synthetic did it. Her Pokemon know this well and obey without question. Panthea lives happily off of her anger, but Sulphur does not. He thrives better under a level of peppy encouragement she simply does not possess. Still, she manages to control him well.

She doesn't like other people, and all new people, she meets with an intense level of suspicion. As far as she's concerned, everyone who can't prove to her where they came from is a Synthetic out to kill her. It is this mindset that has saved her and her team more than once.

History: Calixte was born in Saffron City to Lionel and Vanessa Vione. Never was her home life what one would consider normal. Her mother worked, while her father stayed home with her. An only child, she became quite the daddy's girl and aspired to follow in his footsteps with everything he did. Vanessa left Calixte and Lionel when she was five, leaving her to be raised by her father -- as if that weren't the case already. From that point on they were in dire need of more money, which lead Lionel to join Team Rocket when they offered. After he began to rise in the ranks they slowly had more money and more means. Calixte took note and decided at that point, at the age of eight, that she would at least briefly join Team Rocket.

She grew up as a Team Rocket employee's daughter, seeing the organized side of crime. Although her father had at first been against it he grew comfortable and happy with it. Still, he would never want Calixte to get involved. That was why she had to schedule a meeting with the boss unbeknownst to her father and discuss her future with the Rockets. They agreed that when she turned eighteen she would move to a new region and start. Her excitement was immeasurable as she awaited the Pokemon the boss had promised her to start, a Gastly he said would work perfectly with her sarcastic nature. She moved to Sinnoh beforehand and moved into an apartment in Celestic City. Just as she was settling in, the Synthetics began their domination. She was lucky enough to receive the Gastly before she had to flee her home. That Gastly became the only individual in the entire world she trusted. Originally her plan was to go back to Kanto to check on her father, but when she found out the Synthetics ruled there too she knew she would be lucky if he was alive, and it would probably be impossible to find him there. So she instead began traveling in search of somewhere that would be safe to be, living from day to day without worrying about tomorrow. The time in the wild slowly turned her into an animal as well. Panthea, as she named her Gastly, would envelop wild Pokemon and she would skin them and eat them. There was no fire; only raw flesh and blood everywhere. This method is where her Mightyena cloak came from, and the array of Buneary fur mittens and other such small fur clothing items. By way of small caves she got through the mountain range to the west, using a stolen lantern to light her way. When she came through the other side she hid out at the city limits, spending most of her time up in trees. If TBRA came too close she had Gastly envelop their Pokemon and drive their senses crazy, making them run in the wrong direction. Slowly she made her way to Eterna Forest, where she intended to stay until she decided what to do. As luck would have it a True Born raid party on the way to Eterna found her, took her in, and lead her back to the Chateau. In that way she met Xavier, grew to know him better and what he was trying to do, and began going on raids. On one of these raids they came upon a stray young TBRA, patrolling the limits of Eterna. They ambushed her, killed her, and took her Pokemon. She had five – one for every member of the raid party. The one Calixte was allowed to keep was a Growlithe. Due to it being cloned, the colors were reversed – it was black with red stripes and more of a grey tint to its fluff. It was highly suspicious of Calixte, and absolutely hated her. As far as it was concerned it had been taken from the life it belonged to and forced to work for the monsters. But after he worked with Calxite for a while he learned that there was no fighting her. Either he would do what she wanted, or he would be worse off for it. He became a loyal, obedient servant in time, mostly because of his naturally dog-like nature. A raid shortly after obtaining her Growlithe, dubbed Sulphur, unearthed an unused firestone. Without even thinking about it Calixte evolved Sulphur. Her Arcanine is now her mount on raids, and he's an intimidating sight, a hulking black hound being ridden by a psychotic woman in a Mightyena skin. This frightening image and Calixte's willingness to do whatever it takes to survive has convinced Xavier to make her one of the raid leaders.

Pokémon:
-Nickname: Panthea
-Species: Gastly
-Appearance: There's truly nothing unusual about Panthea's appearance. She is a floating ball of dark matter surrounded by purple gas, with two large eyes and a grinning mouth.
-Personality: Panthea does not love, nor does she hate Calixte. She simply obeys her. They have a partnership. She does for her so that Calixte will do for her in return.
-History: Panthea was born in a Rocket lab, trained there, and sent to Calixte to be her first Pokemon for the team. These plans were foiled by the rise of the Synthetics. Instead of disappointment she was glad for the chance to become something more than just a mindless drone for some stupid organization. Living on the edge is what keeps her going.

-Nickname: Sulphur
-Species: Arcanine
-Appearance: Being Synthetic, his genetics are a little odd. His fur is primarily black with red stripes. The long fur on his mane, tail, and legs is grey with some streaking of faint red. His irises are, of course, black.
-Personality: Sulphur despises True Borns just as much as the next Synthetic, but his naturally loyalist instincts encourage him to trust and obey Calixte. He is a dog in every sense of the word and loves playing fetch. He has no qualms with being ridden, and will even allow himself to be fitted with a makeshift saddle and bridle.
-History: Sulphur was cloned from a Growlithe to be a TBRA Pokemon. He was Naturalized and owned by a young TBRA who was trying to raise in the ranks. Sadly, she was taken down on one of her very first patrols and killed. Ownership of him therefore went to Calixte.

Spoiler:

Thirty pairs of eyes stared at Emily Rancon with a despair she could never begin to comprehend. Lined up like animals in the foyer of the expansive Rancon mansion, they awaited approval from their new mistress under the watchful eye of the Keeper.

"These will be satisfactory," she said after a long pause. "But do they have to have such dreadful hair? I at least want my property to be attractive."

Edmund Rancon addressed his sister in his exasperated, patronizing way. "Of course they do. They must keep themselves well groomed, of course, and short hair is easier to maintain. Beyond that, ascertaining that all hairlines do not pass the jaw line keeps them all so similar and androgynous that one of them doesn't start thinking they're special."

Although she understood and agreed with the logic, Emily pursed her lips and eyed them, one after another. "What shall I call them? Do they have names?"

Edmund smirked, his hands clasped behind his back. "You may call them whatever you wish. Give them names, assign them a letter, a number, the choice is yours. Whatever they have been called in the past is irrelevant if you choose to call them something else. They will respond to it, or else answer to the Keeper."

The towering man standing at the end of the line of slaves grinned maliciously. "Yes ma'am, I would be more than happy to keep these beasts in line for you."

The way the slaves cringed made Emily wonder what the Keeper did to them. He dressed elegantly, as his position required, and kept his straight, thin black hair -- which ironically covered all but the top of his head -- clean and kempt. But there was a sadistic malevolence that he brought with him whenever he entered a room. It was enough to make even Emily nervous, though Edmund seemed unperturbed.

"Have you all you need to know?" Edmund asked.

Emily nodded in response. "Yes, I can handle it myself from here."

Edmund approached the line of slaves and said, "You four. You are coming with me. You will not need to return to your quarters, and do not bother with goodbyes. We leave now."

The fear and despair in their eyes was visible as they broke ranks to stand next to Edmund. Several of the remaining slaves bit their lips or clenched their teeth; they had just lost friends, families, even lovers, and there was not a word any of them could say about it.

"Farewell, dear sister. May you find fortune in your new life." He embraced her briefly and was gone, the malnourished slaves struggling to keep up with his long strides. Emily looked to her new staff, unmindful of their terror.

"You are to answer to me now," she declared authoritatively. "You shall never question my orders, else you will face punishment. I will refer to you as a single letter. Your position in line now, from my left to my right, dictates what letter you will be. Figure it out yourself and respond to it."

All that said, she waved her hand dismissively. "You are to go back to your quarters now."

The Keeper grinned and shoved the slave nearest to him. "You heard her. Get moving."

Could I reserve a spot as a Synthetic? SU should be up soon :)

luigimario84 · Nov 1, 2011

Name: Christopher Jones

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Faction: True Born

Appearance:

Personality: Chris is a joyful guy. But he doesn't like the world around him. It is filled with Synthetics. Luckily Chris has stealth on his side. He can sneak through almost anywhere without being seen. Other than the whole region being taken over he is happy. But if he gets angry he has a big temper. Whenever he is seen by a Synthetic he will run off and find somewhere to hide. He has found it hard in his life to survive though. He never gives up, even if he is in a corner. Which is his weakness. Nothing will get him out of a fight. He is to reckless and believes to much in himself. He always thinks he has the power to do something even if he knows he dosn't.

History: Chris was born in Veilstone city and always admired Maylene's strength. So he decided to train only fighting types just like her. His first pokemon was a Riolu he met. They became friends and would always play together. Afterwards he caught a Croagunk who is now fully evolved. When the Synthetics took over Chris hid in the Veilstone Gym. He snuck all the way to Canalave city after hearing of a load of True Forms in the Chateau. But it wasn't too easy. He had to get across water when he didn't have any pokemon knowing Fly or Surf. So he started teaching himself to swim. But the hard part was he had to do it out of sight of Synthetics. But that was impossible. So he had to do it like a normal person and when a Synthetic would notice him he would dive as far down as he could. Slowly he gathered his strength and was able to swim to Canalave city. Only to be spotted by more Synthetics. He had to dodge through them and find a place to hide before he could sneak to the Chateau. He almost failed at getting there but eventually did.

Pokémon:
Nickname: Ed
Species: Lucario
Appearance: Ed is a more darker shade of blue than normal Lucario. The usual yellow chest is instead orange.
Personality: Ed is like his master with his temper. But isn't as reckless. His weakness is his defence. As a Steel type he should have good defense. But now he has trained his attack much more so his defence is quite low.
History: Ed used to be a normal, wild Riolu. When he first met Chris he saw how he admired Maylene's work and the determination in is eyes. So Hugo befriended him and was caught by the trainer. This was the start of their adventure. Ed had never thought that clones would take over the region and that he would have to protect his master.
Ability: Justified
Moves: Aura Sphere, Force Palm, Dynamicpunch, Bone Rush, Close Combat

Nickname: Stan
Species: Toxicroak
Appearance: Stan's poison sack and sharp claws are black instead of red.
Personality: Stan doesn't have as much temper as the others but also lacks in defence. He is as reckless as his master except when he's in a corner. His poison type moves are for some strange reason less likely to posion than they should be.
History: Stan was once a Croagunk he lived in the Pastoria Great Marsh. He would usually attend the Croagunk festival and would try his best to win each time. This was until he was caught in the marsh. But he didn't mind. The trainer that had caught him was kind to him. He made friends with Ed aswell. He also wasn't inspecting a clone invasion.
Ability: Dry Skin
Moves: Posion Jab, Acid Spray, Close Combat, Slash, Close Combat, Poison Sting

RP sample: In the middle of Ilex forest a Garchomp was just knocking out another Mankey trying to steal his food. Suddenly he heard a rumble. The rumble came again but this time louder. The Mankey jumped up and ran off screaming. The Garchomp was called Geo. Geo looked along towards a small hill far away and saw twopokemon battling! He looked up at them in horror as he recognised Dialga and Celebi. Then he saw a strange light. Geo couldnt resist staring right into it! Then he went blank.

Geo slowly awoke in a strange place. He could'nt tell where he was because it was all too blurry. Then he came to his senses and looked around hoping he was still in Ilex forest. But there was not a tree in sight! "Where am I?" Geo asked himself. He was all alone in the middle of nowhere. Then he saw men in the distance. He called for them but something in his mind told him he had just done the most idiotic thing ever. They had spears. Used to kill or knock out pokemon. Before they had noticed where he had gone he was off flying to somewhere thinking about what he might find.

luigimario48, I know you're not done yet but I'm going to go ahead and give you a few pointers. Just as I told someone else they were at risk of writing a Mary-Sue, so are you in male form. He's too cookie-cutter, too perfect, and to top it off he starts with a Riolu. Everyone in the entire world wants to start with a Riolu. I'm already probably not accepting many more True Borns, so if you want to be one you need to come up with something awesome that will blow my mind. So far, it's not going to happen. Your Personality and History are too short. Let me see some creativity and really exceed my expectations and I might let you be a True Born.

Now, I'm going to have a True Born and a Synth so that I can help keep the story rolling. Due to the lack of Synthetics I'm getting, if anyone has an itch to play both and they know they have the time, drive, and skill, talk to me about it and we'll see.

ALSO. I have a special position. It's a secret. If you're interested PM me before you submit your SU and we'll discuss it. If you get the position, it'll be top secret. Only you and I will know what your role is.

SylveonStar · Nov 1, 2011

I edited my SU, let me know if it's okay now or if anything still needs to be fixed.

pikakip · Nov 1, 2011

Also, you are allowed to join the darkhearts people. They are a faction. Just PM me your characters background if they are a DarkHeart, and I'll tell you if it's cool.

Strikit · Nov 2, 2011

It's better, Genevieve. Since your character is so young I'll forgive the short history and such. Just remember - It's True Born, not Blood. Also, pay attention to your homophones in writing, I'm a huge grammar Nazi. In your sample you wrote "where," as in location, instead of "were," as in the past tense of the be verb. I'll go ahead and accept you, just remember that I have high standards, and a ten year old character won't be able to do very much at the Chateau.

luigimario84 · Nov 2, 2011

I've edited my post. I tried my best to change it from a "Mary-Sue". I only wanted to start with Riolu because it is my second favourite pokemon. I hope I'm accepted.

Strikit · Nov 3, 2011

I'm sorry but I absolutely don't accept pictures in place of appearances. I'm slightly concerned about the length of your sample, but I'm not going to say no because of that. Read my sample to get a good idea of what the caliber of this RP is gong to be. Your posts won't need to be quite that long, but they do need to be that grammatically correct, with the correct usage of "to, two, too," and "there, they're, their," and the like. I'm HUGE on that. But like I said, I already have too many True Borns. Give me a really, really good reason to accept you and I will. Pending.

Megaman765 · Nov 4, 2011

(I mostly revised my old SU for this RP and added some more distinctive features. Hope ya like it.)

Name: Issac Stelling

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Faction: Synthetic Rebellious

Appearance: Issac goes by about 6'0 inches tall at most.

Along with the black eyes that come with every synthetic, Issac comes with short hair with short bangs growing down on his forehead. Issac would never be seen with Extremely long hair, He always thinks it would get in his way. For clothes, He wears a brown Trench coat along with Belted Blue Jeans and Brown Oxford shoes. In Warmer environments, Issac wears a Casual black T-shirt that says "Victim" In red on the back, With Blue jean shorts that go down to his knees. The words on the back of his T shirt were actually sewed on by himself. It's really just a plain black T shirt.

Issac's Most Distinct feature is the cast that holds his Paralyzed arm. Because of an Incident when the humans experimented on him (Explained in history,) Issac is unable to use his Left arm at all, Making it complete dead weight for him. However because of his dysfunctional Left arm, His Right arm has become Considerably stronger. Issac can't feel anything with his left arm. You could stab it with a knife and he wouldn't feel a thing. The reason he hasn't cut it off yet is to show true borns the results of their Experiments.

He also wears a black leather gauntlet glove on his paralyzed hand so nobody else can see it. Even though Issac can't move or feel his arm at all, The glove is still fits like one. The glove is supported by two leather straps. One on his wrist and another on his arm around the end of the glove When no clothing is hiding his paralyzed arm, Various black markings and Disturbing Wounds can be seen on it. A large scar going down from his elbow to his wrist, Vains that are very visible on his hand, And a large gash on his Shoulder can be seen. Even Issac is disgusted looking at it. Whenever Issac isn't wearing a trenchcoat to hide his wounds, He wears a black Cut out sleeve taped on his left arm to hide it.

Personality: He's an extremely cocky individual. Even with one arm, Issac feels like he could take on the world. Every so often, Other synthetics had made fun of Issac for missing an arm, as well as his lack of basic knowledge. Those same people had taken a very hard punch to the face from Issac's Much stronger right hand, Enough to leave a hole in a wall. Even though he's won almost every fight he's gotten into, Younger synthetics still attempt to taunt Issac. It's not like they knew what happened in the lab. Though he eventually got used to such insults. Despite the fact that Issac had Nasty experiences that he'd rather forget but he's still more then willing to share his own stories to anybody that's curious.

Issac is extremely Clastrophobic and will do his best to stay away from tight spaces. If he has to blow something up in order make more room then he will if he's able to. Issac also isn't too smart either. He's mature enough to make good decissions but dosn't have much knowledge on Pokemon or any other basics. He was ment to be used as an experiement and thus wasn't educated very well. Issac was left to educate himself to the best of his abilities.

History: Issac was born a few days before Adam's escape. He was one of the newer Synthetics

As with other Synthetics, Issac was a product of the True Born's curiostiy. In Issac's case though, perhaps TOO curious... his purpose in the Genetic Organism Duplication project was figuring out how a clone's body system worked in comparison to a True Born, as well as learning how much pain they could endure compared to a true born. He was only a clone, so if he was hurt or brutally murdered, he could just be recreated. They didn't care, but Issac sure as hell did. He had been tourtured and constantly experimented on for the sake of knowledge. These experiements were often top secret and the knowledge of it was unknown to other Synthetics, while Issac was a prisoner inside... well... a prison.

These experiements often happened in very tiny rooms which gave Issac little space for air if he was given any. These experiences made him extremely clostrophobic, which proved Synthetics could develop those kinds of symptoms. He was strong though. He could endure whatever the True Born's threw at him. Needles, drugs, taking oxygen, or even using machines to do unspeakable things. All of these experiences eventually cost him his arm when he had tried to resist. His arm had become paralized and useless. He was then threatened to be killed by the scientist that was using him. To Issac's wonderful luck, Adam had been making his escape. Issac of course, followed, leaving his prison once and for all.

As he escaped, Issac was followed by a stray Synthetic Porygon, That was colored black on it's bottom, And still kept its red color for its face. The Porygon had also been escaping. Perhaps it belonged to one of the True Borns and was used for similar experiements. Issac didn't have much knowledge on Pokemon so he didn't know much about reproduction or anything of that sort. Since that fateful day, Issac and the Porygon, named Commodore, had been together since then.

Due to Issac's lack of proper education as well as being crippled by only having one arm, He hasn't been able to join the T.B.R.A despite how much he wants to get back at the True Borns. Most of the time, Issac had been spending time training Commodore in hopes that at least being a good trainer would allow him to help the T.B.R.A. For now, he was a normal civilian, living a mostly ordinary life, Something Issac desperately wants to change.

Pokemon:

Nickname: Commodore
Species: Porygon-2
Gender: (doesn't have one)
Moves: Conversion2, Signal beam, Tri-Attack, Splice, Recover

Appearance: His upper body is still colored white, While his nose is completely colored black, along with it's Tail, chest, And feet. If you weren't too experienced, Then an average person would confuse it for a shiny Porygon if they had never seen one.

Personality: Commodore is extremely mischivious and will take every opprotunity he can to mess around with whatever computers he can get into which often leads to him messing it up. Commodore is practicly a walking virus. However he's still Issac's friend and will stop when told to. Issac never lets Commodore out of his sight. Whenever he does, Commodore will always wander off to cause some havoc.

History: Issac's First pokemon that escaped with him after being liberated. Rom evolved after it decided to mess with Issac's computer and completely destory it and ever since, It's had the Urge to always go inside anything related to computers either to screw around with it, Or to hack by instruction of Issac. Commodore is a very charismatic pokemon and is extremely friendly and affectionate to others.
