[pat20cool]

Name: Patrick McCallion

Age: 14

Gender: Guy

Appearance: Height 5'10, weighs 175lbs. Patrick's hair color is a light brown colour and is not too long but not too short. His hair always looks as if he just got out of bed, and is often flicky which is the way he likes it. His eyes are a brown wooden like colour which can also appear to look completely black in some cases. Patrick has a below average, scrawny build. Patrick also has a light, tanish skin tone which often makes people assume he is foreign.

Patrick always wears his red V-Neck T-shirt, whenever he wears this, it makes him feel like an adventurer. He wears blue jeans and black vans with white lining. In most cases Patrick likes to wear his purple scarf as it seems as if he is wearing a small cape. H

Personality: Patrick is a naive kid who believes that no matter what everything will be okay. He can be very sarcastic and loves to make awful puns. Patrick has a geniune and humble way of gaining people's trust, as he was always raised to be an honest and open person. He would make friends by first compliementing their efforts, then asking how they've worked so hard at it. By nature and from his parents working at the Olivine Cafe, Patrick is a glutton and will eat anything, except vegetables and fish. Patrick will feel very hurt and angry if he finds out someone has cheated him out of something, however Patrick is usually very cheerful even in the most dangerous and dark times, he can always find that silver lining because he is so Naive.

When it comes to Pokemon, Patrick will treat his partners like his soul mates. His battle style is all for one and one for all! Meaning if his Pokemon has had a troublesome past or experienced bad things, Patrick will ensure to find a way to understand what they are going through and reassure and encourage them that everything will be okay.

Backstory: Patrick is from Olivine City. He lives there with his Mother and Father who both work at the Cafe. Patrick's father would often take Patrick to see the town's Mascot, Ampharos. The McCallion family have always been really close with Jasmine the Gym Leader, she was like a family friend. Patrick always asked her about her Pokemon partners and always wanted to see her battle with her Steel-Types. For a while Jasmine had a winning streak and she seemed unbeatable with her Steelix and Magnezone. Patrick challenged her to a gym battle with powerful Pokemon whenever his adventure begins! From this day Patrick has been studying Jasmine's battling every day since she agreed.

Suddenly one day a huge Thunderstorm had broke out. Harsh winds and heavy rain caused alot of damage to the shore front of Olivine City. Patrick had got seperated from his family in the storm and had escaped to the one place where he could be safe. So he fleed into the lighthouse and saw Jasmine with Ampharos attempting to shine it's light across the ocean. Jasmine turned to Patrick smiled and sent out her Skarmory that swooped him up off to Professor Elm's laboratory to become that trainer he promised her to be one day. She shouted to him as he flew off to never give up on what he believe in and to become as strong as he can.

For a few hours, Patrick and Skarmory had been flying through the air. The sky begins to flash and releases bolts of lightening. Skarmory knew that if it got hit by one of these bolts Patrick wouldn't survive, Skarmory cried and used Agility to get to Elms lab faster and then Air Slash to blast through the lightening. As the land was changing and towns were getting destroyed it was hard to tell which town was New Bark Town.

'SKARMORY!' shouted a strange voice, 'DOWN HERE! Your metal body will take heavy damage in the this storm!'

Skarmory and Patrick approached this man who was wearing a lab coat and had a head like a turnip. The man noticed Patrick and took him off Skarmory and inside a strange laboratory that was surrounded by a forest. Patrick and Skarmory both entered this lab and saw a whole crowd of people crammed into this confined place. The man who found them brought over another man with a top hat and a red scale hanging from his neck. Mr. Pokemon and Professor Elm both introduced themselves to Patrick and began discussing the current problems in the world at the moment. Elm told Patrick about the special trainers that the world professors have been gathering and asked Patrick if he would like to take this mission on board. Patrick thought about what Jasmine said and gave Elm a huge smile and nods.

'I'll do it!' Patrick answered confidently with a grin on his face.

Which Professor gave you your Starter Pokémon? : Professor Elm.

Which was your starter Pokémon?: Phanpy

I hope I can still join in.

Oh HOLY BURRITO![/FONT]

[Vato]

@pat20cool It's all good, just one thing, see, I need to know how your character managed to survive, I don't think he just remained airborne for days until the earthquakes/floods ceased, kay?

And, since I liked the SU, if you manage to make an excellent first post (in case you're accepted) when I add you to the RP, you might get a chance to catch that Skarmory

[Vato]

Oh, you edited your post, sorry! I didn't notice
You're accepted!

[Vato]

I've updated the IC Thread with what you may do, remember, you may post as much as your heart wishes!

[machomuu]

Name: Regal Gemini

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance: Regal wears a Dark Gray beanie on his head. Coming down from under that beanie is unkempt, Dark Brown hair that covers his eyes (though he's still able to see). His eyes are white as from the colored contacts he wears (otherwise his eyes are green). When his contacts aren't in he wears glasses, but the chances of that happening are very rare due to his disdain for glasses. On his chin is a small goatee. Regal also has a slightly pale skin tone.

Regal wears a black sleeveless T-Shirt and carries a necklace that represents a musical 8th note. He wears Dark Blue Jeans and black and blue Athletic Shoes. His build isn't exactly thin, but he certainly isn't large. He's about 6'0 and has something of a minor athletic build.

Headshot:

Spoiler:

Personality: Regal's favorite color is black, and he has quite an appreciation of Gothic art styled and palettes; this leads people to believe that he is indeed a Goth, but he prefers traditional Gothic art to Pop Cultural Goth. He is actually quite the bright and ambitious young man with dreams of becoming a famous Piano Player and Song Writer. Similarly, he dabbles in art, as it serves as inspiration for his music. Regal's quite the sociable young man, and a showy one at that. He tends to want to make his talents known without coming off at narcissistic or too attention grabbing, so he whistles tunes that he's created to try to impress those around him. While he's never owned a pokemon, he has always been in awe and wonder towards them. He found their abilities and ways of life, as well as dramatic differences in their lives from the humans', to be so interesting. He'd often sketch pokemon in his free time. A pretty happy-go-lucky fellow and very nonchalant, Regal isn't the type to let unfortunate events get him down, and he's quite selective with what actually makes him angry or sad (not by choice, of course).

Regal is quite the responsible young man, he's always felt the need to be independent. At a young age, his parents tried to help him out but he would insist that he do it himself. This could range from doing homework or washing clothes. It remained that way for most of his life, that independence become more and more apparent as he grew older. At the age of 15 he moved out to live on his own, it's unclear as to whether his family is currently alive. Regal is a very philosophical person as well, generally he would think about the lengths of the universe and how it's possible that time could be bent. One could say that his interest in the unknown was due to his omnipotent desire to become a better musician, and that he was always willing to grab what he couldn't understand for inspiration. Regal would probably agree to that, it's been an innate and natural curiosity that's plagued him for most of his life.

Backstory: Regal was living in an apartment when the catastrophe struck. The building started shaking, but Regal wasn't able to leave due to the staircase having collapsed and the power being out, thus the elevators were also out of service. Regal was faced with certain death, and thus he spent his "last few minutes" the only way he knew how: playing the piano. Granted, the erratic shaking made things quite difficult for him music playing, he still proceeded with his music slowly and elegantly. The piece, "An Aria of Death's Approach"; he felt it to be very appropriate. The building then started to crumble, its walls breaking from the motions of the building. However, that day wasn't Regal's Judgment Day. A Fearow, and a rather large one, flew through one window and out of the opposite facing window. Regal grabbed its legs and flew with it out of the window. Still, Fearow aren't exactly normally strong enough to carry a six foot human being, and thus it slowly descended while still flying at a constant speed. He reached the ground and let go.

Outside of his building he saw a other people from his building who also made it out. Not all of them, however. The ground started to crack and part in the wake of the earthquakes, so Regal started running. The cracks certainly weren't small, and they grew almost as quickly as he could run. Before he knew it, the ground below him was gone and he had started falling. Someone caught his hand, a teen around his age, and pulled him up, promptly running and giving no time for thanks. Despite the fact that Regal had no idea who this person was or where he was going, he followed him. After several minuted of sprinting, the two reached a building, it seemed to be for the purpose of protecting people from catastrophes such as this, a bunker of sorts. Regal entered, as well as the man from before, and as soon as they were in the door to the bunker closed.

Regal felt a tap on his shoulder and he said, "Oh, thanks for saving-" he turned around to see who it was, and it wasn't the man from earlier, but rather it was Professor Rowan, someone Regal was well aware of. "Oh, excuse me, sir," he said, correcting himself.

"No need to be so formal, son, I just noticed that you dropped this on your way in," he said, handing Regal a small pocket sketchpad. Regal checked his back pocket and all he found was a pencil, he had indeed dropped it. "I had a look through it, and I'm quite impressed; you sure do know a lot about pokemon."

"Thank you, sir," he said, taking the sketchpad. "I study them...for pleasure, not for research, however."

"I see, but regardless, those pictures capture tendencies and dietary habits often only seen in books and the Pokedex, it's quite informative and detailed," Rowan said in response. He paused for a moment and asked for Regal's name. "Regal Gemini, eh? I'll remember you." He said before walking off to another area of the bunker. Regal looked at his sketchpad and noticed a that stuck to it was a sticker for "Holy Burrito", a food chain that used different to make a variety of burritos. Granted, Regal never found the name to be attractive; personally he didn't like religious references in his food and he never found the use of the word "burrito" to be funny. He carefully pulled off the sticker, so as not to rip the page, and discarded it in a nearby trashcan.

Professor: Rowan

Starter: Starly

[Vato]

@ machomuu Excellent sign-up! However you forgot to add an important phrase to your SU, so, until you add it, you're pending.

Don't worry, it's not any kind of complicated phrase, it's just two words actually...

[machomuu]

Fixed, it's in the Backstory.

[Vato]

Ha, clever way to slip the password! You're accepted!


Regal received a Starly!
Ability: Tangled Feet
- Detect
- Peck

Also, Felis, Jacinth and EVO 2, you're pulled off due to the fact that you haven't posted in Chapter II even when it's coming to a close. If there was a reason for which you weren't able to post / aren't able to post, do not hesitate to tell me, and I'll just pull you off until you're able to post again, k?

I'm agoing to edit the OOC Thread in order to reflect these changes anytime soon...

[pat20cool]

Out of curiosity, are we all on the boat at the same time? 'Cause I know there are people boarding at Pallet Town and Cherrygrove and Sandgem?

[heretostay123]

Right now, I think it's just Vato and the Johto people. Idk.

[Vato]

All right, allow me to clear this.
I forgot to add this to the Chapter, sorry for that

As you may know, the ship visited Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and the New Republic of Unova in that order.
That said,:
Kanto people: You may post once before interacting with the guys from Johto; twice before the Hoenn guys; trice before the Sinnoh guys, and four times interacting with those from the NRU.
Johto people: Once before interacting with the Hoenn people; twice before the Sinnho guys; and trice before interacting with the guys from the NRU
Hoenn people: Once before the Sinnoh guys; twice before those of the NRU
Sinno guys: Once before the NRU guys.
NRU guys: Once before any interaction with RPers.

That because you arrive in different order, you may say the ship docked before interacting with a RPer, but it's not necessary. Also, you may not leave the ship if I don't say you can.

Also, if there's someone you want to interact with, but his/her region is not in the list of the region you belong to, it's because you can already interact with that person.

My apologies 'cause I forgot to add this.

What the heck is wrong with me? I'm forgetting important parts.
The following goes for those who boarded AFTER Chapter III began, 'cause you're posting like before everyone else boarded.

If you boarded before Chapter III began, then you're posting AFTER everyone boarded.

Both posting perspectives will eventually cross.

[Zarachi]

Name: Dante Powers

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Appearance: Dante has shoulder length brown hair, he keeps it kind of messy and it sometimes gets in his eyes. He sometimes tucks his hair behind his ears or rarely ties it up. He has very bright green eyes which he inherited from his mother. He wears long black pants and a blue zip-front jacket with hood usually. under the jacket he has a plain white t shirt. He wears an old pair of white sneakers. His mother tries to make him wear a newer, cleaner pair, but he resits this because "my old shoes are comfy" Unusally tall for his age, Dante stands at an almost perfect 6 foot tall. Dante is somewhat thin, but not athletic. Unlike his parents, who both wear glasses, he has perfect 20/20 vision, which is among his most prize possessions.

Personality: Somewhat impulsive and over confident at times, though usually laid back. His impulsive nature gets him in trouble at times, he is prone to pick fights with people when they upset him. He has a younger sister named Sara, who is 13. The two generally get along, although like most siblings, they fight at times. He is very protective of his sister, he would often fight people on the playground at school who made fun of her or bullied her. Despite his seemingly violent persona, he is a kind person, who enjoys being around pokemon, he wanted to go on a pokemon journey, but his parents would not allow it, insisting he stay in school. He got in trouble once at the age of 8, when he was playing outside, he found a kakuna attached to a tree near their house, and began to talk to it. He decided to bring it back home with him, but his parents made him immedialty return it "because they don't want a beedrill hatching in the house". For the most part though, he has a good relationship with his parents. He would often help his dad work on his shelter and would help his mom make dinner. He became something of a cook from helping his mother in the kitchen, and enjoys preparing food. Dante enjoys relaxing at his house and listening to music, surfing the internet, watching tv. His favorite physical activity is ping pong, he actually helped start the ping pong club at his school. He has never been a big fan of reading though, and often puts off required reading until the last minute. prior to the catastrophe, he was your average, if somewhat impulsive, slacker teenager.

Backstory: Dante's family lived in viridian city, his dad was a carpenter and his mom was a lab tech. Prior to the catastrophe, his father was seen as "odd". His father built a panic shelter under the back yard. His father believed this would keep the family safe from "riots caused by political collapse". His father turned out to be somewhat right though, neighbors that once laughed at him for his doomsday shelter hurried inside as neighboring building and houses collapsed. The generators did not last long,and soon the people were surrounded by darkness, until one of the neighbors pulled out a pokeball. She released her cyndaquil, whose back flames illuminated the shelter, and kept everyone warm.

Dante decided he wanted a fire pokemon that very evening. After the earth stopped shaking, Dante and the others in the shelter emerged to see viridan in ruin, Dante's mother cried, having seen her childhood home reduced to rubble. The survivors had heard word over the radio in the shelter that pallet town was relatively unscathed by the catastrophe. As they were leaving, Dante saw a pidgey lying next to what was once a restaurant. the bird was screaming out in pain, pinned under a rock. Dante couldn't bear to let the poor bird die in what was now a dead town, so he picked it up and carried it with him, in the hopes he could have it healed in pallet town.

Upon arriving in pallet town, he set out, asking everyone he could find for help for the pidgey. He eventually saw an older man with a white lab coat, approaching him, he said "Hey, is their anyone in town who can help this pidgey, he was caught under a rock in viridan and is hurt bad.". The old man ushered him into one of the building, spoke to one of the nurse's frantically rushing around trying to treat everyone, and the nurse took the pidgey and walked off with it. "There not gonna put it down are they?" said Dante? "No, the nurse said he just looked like he needs a splint for his wing, and some pain medication, I'd wager he'll be flying again within a couple months" said the old man. "Pardon my manners, my name is Professor Oak" said the old man. "Can we speak privately?" said Oak. "Sure" said Dante. The two walked into an office in the building "Dante, i was moved by way you carried that pidgey all the way here, it wouldn't have lived had it been left in Viridian. I see potential in you as a pokemon trainer, i have only 1 starter left with me at the moment, are you interested?" Dante couldn't believe what he was hearing. ""Which one do you have left?" Dante asked, "Charmander", Oak replied. Dante's eyes lit up, "I'm very interested". Oak handed Dante the pokeball containing charmander, along with 15 pokeballs, and a pokedex. Dante shook the porfessors hand and was off...
Which Professor gave you your Starter Pokémon? : Oak
Which was your starter Pokémon?: Charmander

[Vato]

@ Zarachi Unfortunetely, your character has a very short appearance, I really need to be able to picture him, so, what are his eyes like? How tall is he? Is he fat or is he thin? Does he has a built body? Does he wear glasses or any other kind f accessory? Does he have any scars or noteworthy features in his body? What's his skin color? All that stuff needs to be added for me to able to picture him.

Same goes for the personality, is he somewhat of a hot head? Is he friendly? Is he kind, or is he selfish? Does he care about others? What is his relationship with his parents like? Does he has any brothers or sisters, in case he does, what s his relationship with them like? What are his likes? What are his dislikes? Is he mentally stable? Does he have a fear or fobia? All that stuff needs to be added.

Long story short, you need to edit your SU a lot, so in the meantime, you're pending...

EDIT: Now, that's better!
You're accepted!


Dante received a Charmander!
Ability: Flame Body
-Scratch
-Iron Defense

If you don't mind, can you do your first post AFTER your character has boarded the ship? Don't worry, you'll still be able to catch some Pokemon!

[-Sam]

ytfeL, in your last post, are you referring to Marty?

[ytfeL]

Yes I am, sorry. I meant to mention it in here but forgot last night.

[-Sam]

@ytfeL
Right. Well, the thing is I left my last post off with Marty attempting to catch a Horsea(which he succeeded) and you have him still fishing in your post. So I just wanna clear that up before I make my response.

& Marty's actually 4 years younger than Salias and nearly a foot shorter, so he really wouldn't be the same size or age as Salias haha..

@Vato, would it be cool if I made another SU?

[ytfeL]

@Sam - I was a bit rushed, but later tonight I can go and edit my post. Sorry for the confusion, I was making the effort to not control marty at all

[-Sam]

@ytfeL
I assure you, you definitely did not control Marty whatsoever. You just sorta missed the fact that he wasn't fishing anymore :p

[Vato]

@ -Sam ... Well, what do you have in mind for a character? Because, if it's another Trainer chosen by one of the professors, well, there's plenty enough of them already...

[-Sam]

Hmm, that's true. I didn't think about that, nevermind.

[Vato]

You sure? I'm easy to convince :3
I could only let you have another character if the SU proves to be magnificent, that is.
Also, remember, you can have any friends/siblings/acquaintances in the S.S. Libra, that way your character gets some development and an NPC interaction at the same time!

[PsychoJigglypuff]

I already signed up for your new RP, but this one looks interesting as well, so I might make an SU. Not entirely sure if I will, though. You are still accepting SUs, right?
