well expect that first request to be from me xD! Fennekin here I come! :D

[TheUglyDucklett]

I noticed that there was possibly an opening in the Raikou dorm (maybe?), so I decided to drop an application here. :x


Name: Haru Windsong

Age: 14

Sex: Male

Dorm: Raikou Dorm

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Personality: Haru's generally a quiet boy that avoids confrontation as much as possible. He can manage a conversation when he's in the mood, but otherwise he's more of a wall-flower. If the topic is flight, however, he's a lot more enthusiastic. It's been his dream to be able to fly one day, but for now he has to rely on Pokemon to help. Because of this he has a fondness for larger, Pokemon capable of flight.
Haru is also secretly a prankster. His slightly impish nature gives him impulses to cause some mischief, but he's careful about acting on it. He'll consider a harmless prank, but he does his best not to cross the line into actually hurting someone. At the same time, though, he has a strong sense of what he thinks is right and wrong. It makes him resolute and kind towards others, but when he thinks someone deserves it he'll act on impulse and come up with a revenge prank.

History: Haru grew up in the Hoenn region as a foster child. His actual parents died in a landslide on the way to Mt. Chimney, but he was too young to remember them. For six years he lived almost everywhere in Hoenn. He was less outgoing when his home was around Mt. Chimney, but in Fortree City he enjoyed seeing the volcano on the horizon atop a flying-type Pokemon. It grew to be his favorite place in the world.
When he turned ten, he decided to run away from his and travel the continent on his own. Following his own whim, though, he returned to Fortree often and eventually settled there (he found an abandoned secret base in a tree nearby; surprising enough it also had a bed!) and started raising his own flying Pokemon. His first was a Swablu he raised from an egg. It was also the only one he kept; he either released the others or traded them for different Pokemon. By the time he was thirteen he had a very popular small business tending to flying-types. It was how he supported himself and his Pokemon.
When he was accepted into the Academy, he only kept three of his Pokemon. He handed the flying-types over to the gym and handed out the others as gifts (he also handed out fake pokeball stink bombs to get revenge on the kids that picked on him). He thought he completely failed his written exam, which he did, but his battle-sense saved him without his notice. He wasn't a strong test-taker, not really having that much of a stable schooling structure as a little kid, but he had his moments.

Pokémon:

Species: Swablu (Male/Jolly)
Nickname: Icarus
Personality: Icarus is Jolly in nature, but also loves to be lazy and roost on top of Haru's head. Both Pokemon and trainer wish for the day that he evolves to an Altaria and fly together.
Lvl: 21
Moves: Featherdance, Roost, Fly, Fury Attack
Ability: Natural Cure

Species: Growlithe (Male/Adamant)
Nickname: Kaiser
Personality: Kaiser is very playful, but also likes to help Haru with pranks. If Haru needs help he'll be happy to give a small nip to a pursuer's ankle to slow their movement and ensure his trainer's escape.
Lvl: 19
Moves: Flame Wheel, Bite, Flare Blitz (has issue with this move), Dig, Roar
Ability: Intimidate

Species: Kirlia (Female/Modest)
Nickname: Luna
Personality: Luna likes to play big sister to Icarus and Kaiser, but Icarus is the only one that plays along. She also tries to get Haru involved, but Haru asserts himself as the older sibling.
Lvl:20
Moves: Confusion, Psyshock, Double Team, Reflect, Will-O-Wisp

Could I have one of my characters trade for a Fennekin with an NPC character?

[ShinyDiamond]

Everybody loves Fennekin. o3-

[Nideous]

Awh... I was gonna ask if Kiki could get a fennekin. x3

But I think I'll wait now and see what mons from sixth gen are up for capture.

I hope generation 6 has some decent Ghost Pokémon.

if they're crappy lookin ghost pokemon, then my only hope is to pray that there is super special awsome dragon type waiting for me :3

[Leaf Storm]

Well, finally posted! Sorry for the delay.~ Right now I'm having Danielle trade with an NPC and I'm still deciding on which Pokemon she'll receive. That's.. a work in progress. xD

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@TheUglyDucklett: Approved~

@~Genevieve~: Okie day, but it will be restricted from evolving and can only use moves learnable by the other 5 fire starters. (Use good judgement here. It should probably not have punching / charmander's dragon moves.)

@Somniac: Haha, sorry about that. Confusion while copying it over. :P

[igotpokeballz]

@yellow hey when is the Thanksgiving event in the cafeteria gonna start? :D

[Somniac]

Just a quick warning; I'm working all weekend again, so I'll try to get something up tomorrow; but if i don't I wont be around 'til Monday so I may miss the thanksgiving stuffs, depending on how long they go on for.

[Batel]

It's amazing how many people have fallen in love with Fennekin... I feel kinda dirty now for being on bandwagon. >3>

In any case, I guess I'll wait and see what other Gen 6 Pokémon there are. I hardly think an army of Fennekins across the Island is a great image. XD

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@Batel: Have you /seen/ how many /zorua(rk)/ we have? |D

@igotpokeballz: I'll lay down the setting momentarily. Please note, this is a dinner party. It does not require much interference on my part, and laying down the setting will be most of what I do. Feel free to control NPC staff members as usual.

ooooh ok, well that gives me sometime to think about my next post while I get some sleep. :D

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

Nideous, PinkSapphire, please skip my next Valorie-post. I expected Nideous to reach the infirmary in one post like I did, but it didn't work out that way and all I'd be typing is filler.

Just assume there's a helpful Nurse trying to help a very hesitant Valorie into one of the beds when they get there.

[PinkSapphire]

@Yellow- okiii x3 don't worry though, I guess we get there in our next posts :p oh… and SD was going to come along too xD

[TheUglyDucklett]

@Yellow: Thanks!

So, is there any particular way I should start my first post? or is it just a "lolololol hey guys I'm here~!" kind of thing where it doesn't really matter?

[Leaf Storm]

You can start off your post by arriving to the island by boat. Or at least, that's what everyone and I started off. xD Start off by anticipating the arrival of the island while on the boat and you can tell your Pokemon how much fun you guys will have at the Academy. Somewhere along those lines! :)

[IceFyr1928]

Alright, I come with bad news. I have become very busy, and need to start cutting off some roleplays. Sadly, this one has made that list. Perhaps I'll come back during the summer.

[Somniac]

Just informing:

my latest post detailed Gwen battling and catching a wild phanpy.

changes:
Amber [Poochyena] +1/2 level(s) [was 13, now 14/15.] You can be the judge of whether she deserves one or two levels.

new pokemon:

Phanpy [female]
level: 20

Personality: Very playful and happy-go-lucky.

Moves:

Tackle
Take-down
Roll-out
defense curl
ice shard [egg move]

-----------------------------------

Would appreciate it if you could update the etherpad Yellow <3

-----------------------------------

Oh, for anyone interested; Gwen is now in the cafeteria, and free to interact with people, although I shall be away all weekend, so there may be a delay in a response.

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@Somniac: I don't update the etherpad. It's up to you to keep track of your levels. That's actually the reason we have an etherpad, because using PC's laggy edit system was simply too much tedious work for one person.

@TheUglyDucklett: You start your post how you want, though arriving at the island takes little thought. I heavily recommend finding someone to interact with however, as RPing with yourself is no fun.

[Rafael p]

Actually nevermind. I love this rp to much to leave.

[TheUglyDucklett]

@Yellow: Sounds good to me. I'll find a good place to jump in and screw everything up integrate my character into the community.

[PkMnTrainer Yellow]

@Rafael P: For a moment I thought I'd already removed you from the list, but as it turned out I haven't. Thank goodness. I guess it's probably a good thing that I don't do that immediately. Welcome back... ^^;

I have no idea what's with that phenomenon though.

[TheUglyDucklett]

I'm feeling good about my first post! I ended up not actually jumping in at first, but I left it open for other to jump in.

at least he's building character... :b


I also finally realized that I got enough posts to submit image urls. Rejoice because now I can use it to show Haru's appearance.

for those that don't want to go back and look at the SU,

Spoiler:

Here you you go :x

[Jbsundown]

Ryan is currently sitting on his own in the cafeteria. If anyone wants to interact with him then by all means do so! :D
