Sacred Fire, Divine Water [OOC-SU] [T]

[徳清アキオ]

Sacred Fire/Divine Water

---

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

— William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

INTRODUCTION

Spoiler:

After a long trudge through Route thirty-six and thirty-seven, Ethan took his first step into Ecruteak City, his starter Quilava rushing to his side. After a small sightseeing tour of the city, Ethan decided to examine the Kimono Dance Theater. Inside, he found five beautiful dancers, dressed in formal Kimono. Watching them dance, he also took notice of the Eevee evolutions that belonged to each individual dancer: Flareon, Vaporeon, Jolteon, Espeon, and Umbreon. Each Pokemon danced gracefully alongside their partner.

Ethan's golden eyes shined and his mouth gaped in awe. It was truly a magnificent sight. This city was filled with culture, and the wonder and grace of these dancers reflected it. However, when a Rocket grunt came up and began to harass the women, Ethan was the only one to stand up from his seat. Defeating the grunt in a Pokemon battle, the crowd cheered him on. After the battle, he was called to the back by a strange man, who turned out to be the Kimono Dance Theater's Director. He was sitting in the darker corner of the building, in the farthest seat from the stage, where he could easily keep an eye on everyone in the theater.

"You stood up to a gang member, and you defended my girls. I'm proud'a you, kid." The man's voice was rather wheezy, which was explained as Ethan quickly noticed the cigar between the man's fingers. He quietly just nodded to the Director, who patted him on the back a bit too hard. "Aaahhh, don't be modest, kid... You were the only one who challenged that Rocket. Now sit down, I'll tell you a story." Ethan, silent as always, gave him a rather awkward stare, before reluctantly sitting down, adjusting his hat in an attempt to distract himself for a moment. "This story is about Johto, a loooong time ago, about a hundred and fifty-three years ago. Ya saw that burned down tower, right kid?" After Ethan's gentle nod, he continued, "That tower burned a hundred and fifty years ago, give or take. And that's the story I'm gonna tell ya 'bout."

SETTING

Spoiler:

He paused for a moment, glancing at Ethan blankly, who just looked more flustered by his stare. "Eeehhh... I need visual aid, gimmee a sec, will ya?" Without waiting for a response, he looked around the room, walking up to a wall and taking a picture frame down. Ethan was dozing slightly as the man came back to the table. He decided to use the table as he slammed the picture frame against it, shattering the glass and breaking the frame into a couple chunks; all the while, nearly giving Ethan a heart attack, and waking him right back up. The Director picked up the paper that used to be framed, brushing off shattered bits of glass and examining it for a moment.

After cutting it in half, he placed the left half of the map down on the table for Ethan to see.

Spoiler:

After a good ten seconds of examination, the Director took the paper back, and began coloring over it with markers, speaking to Ethan while doing so. "That's the western half of Johto today, right kid?" Without looking up to see Ethan's reply, he kept coloring over the map. "That's where this story takes place. Of course, it looked a lot different back then." After a long silence, he put down the markers and gave Ethan a blank stare. "Gee kid, you're really quiet. Anyways, here it is." He slid the paper to Ethan, who then began to look all over it. He could faintly see the modern-day Johto map under the coloring. He examined the colored borders, which fortunately were labeled, because it seemed pretty simple for a map.

Spoiler:

While Ethan examined the map of Ancient Johto, the Director drew a thick purple line down it that seemed to split it in half. He put a lot of force into it, and the purple bled slightly giving it a fading effect. He let Ethan stare at the map while he began his story. "This was a time before Pokemon trainers, before capture, before technology... Ya see, there were two of those towers, before one burned to the ground. Of course, there was a reason for it..."

PLOT

Spoiler:

"

This is the tale of two families. You could call them kingdoms, but in essence the members are much closer to each other than that, with each member of their family willing to die for them, and vice versa. Even though they don't share blood, they act is if they do. They treat each other like siblings, parents, children, and lovers... Anyways... There once stood two magnificent towers, lead by one family; leadership shared by a man linked to Lugia, and a woman linked to Ho-oh. They used to be madly in love, but after the man and the Lugia had accidentally caused a massive, destructive storm... They separated. The woman and the Ho-oh were so enraged, that they decided to attack the man and his Lugia.

In the process, that tower was burned to the ground, killing hundreds who lived inside. Unfortunately, the three children linked with Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, were at the base of the tower when it collapsed in flames. Their deaths put Ho-oh and her human into a massive depression, and she was hostile and irritable toward anyone who interacted with her. She finally came up with a method for their resurrection. Summoning up all of her power, she erupted in flames, and reincarnated herself. Her ashes, known as 'Sacred Ashes', were sprinkled over the three deceased children, and they came back to life. Since then, Ho-oh and the woman treated the legendary beast-linked pairs with nothing but spoiling and affection. To everyone else, she treated fairly, though with much less interest. She was known to have a temper with anyone excluding her children.

Ho-oh and her human link were exhausted, weakened from the reincarnation. Seeing this opportunity, the Lugia pair and half of their family took a retreat, permanently separating the family into two; the family of Sacred Fire, and the family of Divine Water. Lugia and the man he's linked to lead the Divine Water family to an island off in the ocean. He kept his three children, the trio linked with the legendary birds, Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno. Since then, the land was divided, and the families lived in piece, away from each other. Five years passed since the separation, and people were unhappy. A war broke out between the families, that would forever change the region of Johto...

"

FAMILY MEMBERS

Spoiler:

You will play as one of the members of either family. Each human is linked to a Pokemon at birth. The human and the Pokemon are born simultaneously, and from the same parents. For example, if two humans fall in love, their Pokemon links fall in love with each other as well. If two humans create a child, their linked Pokemon also create a Pokemon child. Humans and Pokemon are linked by fate. Born together, they experience the same emotions, at the same time. They are destined to die at the same time. While the human and the Pokemon act and think alike, they are different people. They can get along, or even bicker with one another, but their emotions will always be the same.

Six players will play as one of the family leaders' children. Note that if you pick one of these characters, you will have to keep the following things in mind. This is also a very important part, so do not try to get a part as a prince or princess unless you know you will stay active in this RP. You have to pick the Pokemon tied to that character. If you're a prince or princess of Divine Water, your link is one of the three legendary birds. If you belong to Sacred Fire, your prince or princess is one of the legendary beasts. The leaders will be almost unseen from and unheard of in this RP, so you will often interact with each other, as well as the others in your family. Forbidden friendships and loves are possible, though you must accept the risks of this; your characters could be killed if caught.

Each Pokemon can learn any move that their species is able to; without a leveling system or move sets, you go at your character's pace. However, strength is not only determined by raw power; some are strategic, some are quick, some are agile, some have a solid defense, some are extremely wise, and some have personal abilities. Attacks aren't the only strength a Pokemon obtains. Keep in mind that you don't want an overpowered character; every positive trait should mean that there's also a negative trait. Characters with more flaws than skills are very liked among roleplayers.

Note that sexism will be a thick piece of the culture of the past. I don't agree with sexism, and don't think it should be endorsed, though in the past it was a serious issue. Sexism will be unallowed in the Ho-oh family, for obvious reasons (saying women are lesser than men in a family ruled by a woman will get you killed). Sexism might be somewhat common in Lugia family, depending on the type of character you create.

On a final note, culture is deep in this era. Bowing is respectful, as well as treating others with respect. you should speak politely, and respect your superiors. Also, appropriate dress is something that should remain consistent throughout this RP. CLICK HERE TO SEE SOME FORMAL DRESS FROM CHARACTERS ON POKEMON CONQUEST. Do not directly copy any of the characters, please. Try to be original.

RULES

1. This RP is Rated "T"
2. Violence, and some blood, thought not too graphic, is allowed.
3. Romance is acceptable and even encoraged. However, Don't go past the "kissing" phase. Also, of you want to create a child, do it somewhere it won't be seen by roleplayers. Don't include the actions of getting pregnant, but let it happen "off-screen".
4. Language is acceptable, if not used excessively. Swearing can add to the dramatic effect of a character's speech, but if he/she just swears all of the time, that only makes him/her a pottymouth.
5. Follow the basic PC Rules and Guidelines.
6. No Godmodding or over-powering others. Bunnying is only acceptable if you ask the player and he/she is okay with it. This is used also when you have to be away for a short bit of time and don't want your character left behind.
7. Don't do anything too drastic without consent. Consult me before doing something like crossing the border, making your character fall in love with one of the opposite family, or trying to form an attack on the other family. This will likely result in failure, and even give an even higher chance of death.
8. If your character is killed, you are allowed to create a new one, by filling out another sign-up form.
9. Each person will have one character, but the option for two is available, if you consult me about it.
10. If you leave the RP, your character will either go missing or die, unless you ask me otherwise.
11. Be respectful to each other.
12. If you want to play a prince/princess character, you must be active. These parts are very important to the story. Also, don't let your character get overpowered just because they linked to a legendary. Everyone gets an equal chance.
13. This is not a rule, but more of a tip: I would reccomend determining the outcome of a fight with a fellow RPer before it begins. Know who's going to win or lose, and how it happens.
14. If you have any questions, ask me.

SIGN-UP

I won't put any specific minimums for sign-up sections; however, I won't accept a sign-up unless I feel it has enough information in it. You are responsible for the depth of your sign-up, so make sure you've made your character thoroughly.

Full Name: (If you're a prince or princess, your last name must be "Densetsu". This is the surname of both leaders, as well.

Your name doesn't necessarily have to be Japanese.)

Seraphina always wears a floor length dress that is an emerald green in color just like her eyes, the sleeves of the dress are long stopping at her wrists but the fabric extends down so the sleeve flows. On the lining of the sleeves is ribbon colored white and the same is on the bottom of the skirt and around the waist with part of the belt hanging down the front of the skirt. On her feet she wears simple green flats and a crown of flowers in her hair.

Spoiler:

This but in the colors of emerald green and white

Personality: Seraphina is an extremely sweet little girl. She cares deeply about others and will go out of her way to help them even though she is still a child. Though she isn't naive about what is going on in the world, she knows about the war though she won't say it outright she wishes for peace but until peace comes she will stay with her family. Seraphina holds a great respect for nature and life in general which is why she is a healer. She can't stand to see someone in pain and will always help. Though she still will act like a child. When her help is not needed she loves to play games with other children and with her pokemon link Mai. Seraphina does have a bit of a fiery side to her though, mainly with the fact she hates to do as she's told.

History: Seraphina was only six years old when the tower was destroyed killing the children of Entei, Raikou, and Suicune, in fast to this day she doesn't know they had died at all. All Seraphina knew is that Densetsu-sama had woken her from her nap and he had told her it was time for them to leave. Seraphina followed him without question to their new home. Being so young Seraphina adapted to the change pretty quickly getting used to her new home and training in the ways of healing. Now five years later Seraphina now aged 11 has come a long ways with healing, she can deal with a fair bit of wounds and sickness but still has a long ways to go until her training is complete.

Skills: She can heal minor wounds and treat some illnesses, she is very agile and very strong willed.

Weapon: a small silver dagger kept in a hidden pocket of her dress.

Pokemon: Moltres

Pokemon Name: Mai

Pokemon Personality: Mai is very protective of Seraphina. She always watches over her and can be a strict judge of character. She just wants her to be safe though and won't let anyone that is not a member of her family near her. You will never find Mai not near Seraphina.

Pokemon History: (Same as Seraphina's)

Pokemon Specialty: Flying in the sky and she can shoot flamethrowers out of his mouth.

Pokemon Flaws: Mai can be too protective of Seraphina and thus can become distracted if she is hurt or in danger.

Proof of Reading: Ethan defeating the team rocket grunt and saving the kimono girls.

Anything Else: nothing.

[Mick Fizz]

[Otherworld9)]

Reserve me for a Divine Water character. I think I might survive this. I'll have the SU by the end of the day.

[PinkSapphire]

Akio-kun- thanks though, i'm not sure if SD wanted to be linked to a legendary pokemon, since he wanted his and mine character to be in a relationship and all the people linked to a legendary are family.

[徳清アキオ]

Otherworld9), You've been reserved!

PinkSapphire, I've removed ShinyDiamond from that spot. Heh, I should've noticed that, I must be having an off day. ^.^' Not trying to bring incest into this, that'd just be... Awkward.


Raikou Spot is open for someone to take, but remember that you will have to be active because these parts are important!

[PinkSapphire]

Akio-kun- thank you very much could you please reserve a spot in the Ho-oh family though? I will tell you when he's online again i hope that will be pretty soon.

EDIT: akio-kun....(can i call you onii-sama? I was almost about to write that down xD)? Whatcha meant with 'i should've notices that." <--- it's not like i told you SD and i were planning this, i only told you just now x'D

[Thaddius]

Are we allowed to reserve Pokemon other than Legendaries?

[-Grayscale-]

Reserve me for Raikou asap
He's my fav <3

Spoiler:

Full Name: Kim Densetsu
Nicknames: Likes being addressed as 'Kid'.
Sex: Female
Age: 20
Family: Sacred Fire
Career: Hunter

Appearance: Kim, though very petite and thin, has a noticeably fair amount of muscle which makes up a lot of her weight and shape. Her skin itself is tan from being outdoors in the sunlight, touched with the many scars she's gotten hunting and accidentally hurting herself one way or another(mostly on her arms and legs, though she has a claw scratch on her left cheek she got from one of the creatures she was attacking at the time). A variety of freckles line her nose and cheeks, and she has brown eyes which almost blend into her pupils. Kim's black, slightly curvy hair has been cut a little short to avoid snag, with long bangs that almost go over her eyes. The hair has some small dyed yellow streaks inside. She's also rather tall, towering 5'6.

Her hunting clothes, which she only puts on when working, are dark brown and ripped/torn badly from so much use. Though they are rather simple, her clothes are different types of colors that resemble a camouflage pattern, and cover her skin up to the elbow and knees. Underneath everything is chain armor and shoulder pads, which acts as her only real protection. Her large, leather boots are a must when going outside. She also carries a small, rough bag on her back to carry home whatever she catches. Everything is a little dirty and big, but Kim refuses to get a change of clothing.

At home, she wears a long, black cloak with golden stripes flowing downward(similar to the stripes you'd see on a Raikou). The cloak's color starts pure black, but eventually turns a vivid purple, and fades to white near the end of the fabric. Underneath the cloak is a white long-sleeved shirt outlined with light blue, and a plain black skirt. A black belt with a small blue X is also worn around her waist. Other smaller, thinner belts wrap around her arms and shirt. Kim wears a light yellow scarf with her in each outfit, though she frequently hides it while working to avoid being seen.

Personality: 'Kid', as she likes being called, is an unusually energetic and yet lazy individual. She's constantly on the move, usually hunting or running around with her pokemon partner even past her usual 'bedtime'. If she isn't doing that, she is probably practicing her combat techniques and fooling around with her spear. Fighting is one of her main hobbies, as long as she doesn't get hurt. However, when it comes to doing something she doesn't like, her stubborn attitude and pouting can make it close to impossible for her to do anything. Kid also has a high temper that shouldn't be set off(she won't hesitate to get a little violent). Overall she's about doing whatever she wants, and having fun doing whatever the heck she wants to do. This also implies a lot of selfishness in her direction.

Most of her good traits can be guided out of her nasty attitude with a bit of kindness. Kid's trust is, actually, rather easy to gain and she warms up to people pretty quickly. She's also just as quick to judge people and earn disliking towards them. If she does consider someone a good friend, Kid will do everything in her being to protect that one person and make them happy anyway she can(this doesn't mean she's willing to give up anything too important to her for them). Ironically, she'll tease her friends more than she would anyone else and assume it doesn't bother them. But she can be serious at times, and be a great person to lean on when you're down.

History: Her life before the accident was rather simple. She was a very naive and kind child, and didn't see anything wrong with her life or the world in general. It was perfect, and she was also close to perfect. Obedient, loyal, and trustworthy. However, she did feel often left out and lonely. Her younger brother and sister both got more attention, and seemed to leave her out of games and other such things siblings do together. It made her feel sad, but she got used to it over the years. When the tower began to catch on flame and crash in her mother's outrage, Kim was struck and held down by some fallen wooden panels that prevented her from escaping. Although her younger siblings had tried to help, by the time she had gathered enough air to scream at them to leave the building, the floor above them had caved in along with the rest of the tower. The impact was fatal to all of them. Though they were brought back to life shortly after, Kim blamed herself for her sibling's pain. She thought she could've saved them if she had been more careful.

Growing more anti-social and overall negative, her attitude toward the world completely shifted as soon as her mother and father broke apart. She was, and always has been, angry with both of them. Trying to get stronger, she would practice jabbing and hurling her spear at things every day. Other times she didn't even want to practice, she just wanted to get her anger out. Her passion for hunting also arose after the accident, and it is literally her hugest stress reliever and she can't do without it. She also began attaching more to pokemon rather than humans, especially her partner, Kira. Nowadays, she just wishes everyone would stop fighting. And if she has to fight and win to get that war to stop, she'll fight hard for her family.

Skills: ...Well, she's good at killing stuff. She's also a fantastic tracker.
Flaws: Completely useless when it comes to helping someone w/ an injury, and is overly clumsy.
Weapon: A long spear, with crescent blades below the head. The head is a little rough and large, yet very sharp.


Pokemon: Raikou
Pokemon Name: Kira
Pokemon Personality: Kira is very similar to Kim in both her stubborn attitude and laziness. However, she is much more serious and not the kind of pokemon to joke around. When times get tough, Kira is the one that gets tougher. And these times are always hard. Her loyalty knows no bounds, and yet she only has Kim to reveal that loyalty to; the Raikou doesn't seem to trust anyone except for her nowadays. She is still gentle and kind, though only when people need her help.
Pokemon History: Kira has been with Kim since they were tiny. Their bond is inseparable, and although she liked being with the other two legendary beasts, she never seemed to be good at socializing with either of them. The accident only made things worse, and Kira went into a state of depression. She relied on Kim to lift her out of it, and now she depends on Kim to close to everything.
Pokemon Specialty: RUNNING, and climbing.
Pokemon Flaws: Isn't knowledgeable about other people or pokemon whatsoever, and isn't a great fighter.

Proof of Reading: It's too bad she got so mad she crushed her own kids.

Anything Else: -

I'm glad to see that there are many of you interested in joining, and on the first day too!

[Otherworld9)]

Note that...well, I'm having a rather hard time trying to describe the clothing style, since right now, so correct me if my description of the clothing is off, wrong, a bit bad, or somehow incorrect.

Update: However, I am finally finished.

Full Name: Tulio Inza
Nicknames: Tuto
Sex: Male
Age: 19

Family: Divine Water
Career: Farm Crops

Appearance: Tulio is a tanned male, although darker in his face and exposed body parts due to being exposed to the sun. You could say his chest and covered parts are lighter. Standing at exactly 6 feet, his overall appearance is quite charming. His hair color is dirty blonde with a hint of black at the ends. Tulio's hair is also wavy, but short and barely going past the bottom of his ears. Forest green is his eye color, which is one feature he is proud of. His face is rather "heart-shaped," and he has a star shaped birth mark on his right shoulder. Despite his working habits, he's quite built and has a slim body.

His clothing style consists of what is on the picture below, except he doesn't wear any necklaces and minor differences. He wears a robe that is metallic red with dark green details and edges. It also has long sleeves on both sides. The strings and clothing tied around his waist is dark green in color as well. Tulio wears sandals that are brown in color, his socks the ordinary white. Underneath his robe he wears a slightly weak chest armor. This chest armor is a one-piece with his armored shorts, which are covered by the robe. Underneath all of it is a black fishnet that covers all from neck to wrist, and all the way down to his knees.

Spoiler:

Personality: Tulio can be described as a clown. Although his appearance shows a calm, honest person, he's actually a joker. Able to pull off jokes, keep the people happy, and show off stunts, he's one of a kind. Although positive, he's short-tempered and sticks with his decisions. Thanks to this, he never accepts defeat or mistake, always wanting to win the conversation unless he's been proven wrong with solid evidence. Tulio is the kind of guy who acts before he thinks, and isn't afraid to tell the truth. One major flaw in Tulio is how impatient he is, and sometimes takes rash decisions.
History: When he was born, he was the youngest. Spoiled and given everything, he was envied by his older brothers and sisters; three sisters and two brothers to be exact. Having a big family, he was the one picked on and hated upon by his serious, boring siblings. It wasn't long until he realized that he wanted to be different compared to his older sisters and brothers. Tulio then started to learn tricks, acrobatics, stunts, exercise, and fix himself up to be not only charming, but flexible as well. The only problem was, his personality was a bit off. His parents noticed the many flaws in him, and thought that maybe working in the farms could help him mature a bit more. Of course, we couldn't leave out Julio, but Julio was very mature and decent compared to Tulio. He was against the idea of changing the boy, but he had to agree.

He was sent to work around his early teens. At first it was torture to him. The sweat, pain, hunger, money, and even the lack of free time he usually has. Julio helped him out with half the work, eventually growing in strength and stamina. Unfortunately, Tulio's personality never changed. This only added more flaws, and thus his parents saw him as difficult to manage and understand. By the time he started to grow into a young adult, his parents let him off to do what he pleases. A bit baffled, he decided to stay and manage the farm none of his other siblings wanted to take over. To this day, he comes a few times a week to check and fix up the farm his father still owns.

Skills: Tulio is agile, flexible, and able to do amazing acrobatics such as backflips, front flips, jump from tree to tree, and such stunts. He has also mastered the bow and arrow in his spare time.
Flaws: He can't swim. Another big flaw is his lack of experience with battles. He might be a master at long range battles thanks to his bow and arrows, yet close up he's too weak and defenseless.
Weapon: As odd as it sounds, he uses a bow. He has a talent in bow and arrows, but has no idea how to use the common bladed weapons.

Pokemon: Bisharp
Pokemon Name: Julio
Pokemon Personality: Julio is a very patient, calm, cunning, and fast pokemon. He rarely talks unless spoken to, and finds it hard to befriend others. Although a gentleman, he has a cold personality, and always wants to master the art of battling. Sometimes both Julio and Tulio clash due to their different personalities, yet Julio manages to calm down and take the pressure.
Pokemon History: Just like Tulio, he was youngest out of the family as well. Right away he was given tasks to do and work to accomplish. This lead to his patient, noble personality. Julio helped Tulio work in the farm, cutting down what needed to be cut and using brute strength for other tasks. Along the way he learned to use basic moves and managed to convince Tulio of using the bow and arrow for self defense. One day, on Tulio's 18th birthday, he was taken out for more training. Without warning, they were somehow attacked by a small group of flying pokemon. Although the attack was small and Julio managed to fend them off, this was enough to cause him to evolve into the Bisharp he is.
Pokemon Specialty: Julio's battle style is unique in that he's not only very silent, but fast. He's also a strategic pokemon, so he tends to push it sometimes as to disobey Tulio if his decision makes no sense. One thing Julio has that Tulio needs is accurate eyesight. Julio is the one who points and helps Tulio with his arrow shooting and accuracy.
Pokemon Flaws: Julio can be taken advantage of easily. If somebody was to ask for his help, he wouldn't hesitate to deny. He's been taken advantage of many times due to his docile nature. He's also very emotional, yet doesn't let others show except Tulio.

Proof of Reading: The man's purple marker inked on the map since he pushed on it too hard....mmmhm.

Anything Else: One hobby he secretly has is constellations. If not exhausted or tired enough to sleep, he tends to stare at the night sky with Julio.

May I reserve a spot in the Sacred Fire family?

[Thaddius]

Full Name: Ezekiel Mercutio Zanzintu

Nicknames: Ezekiel

Sex: Male

Age: 26

Family: Divine Water

Career: Ezekiel is a military man, specialising in the trade of death, killing those who threaten his family. He is a general in the Army, and terror on the battlefield. He has been in the service since the age of 12, learning how to wield most types of weapon so as he would not be hindered when he joined the coming wars against the Sacred Fire family.

Appearance: Ezekiel is a tall, very muscled man, at least 6'4, with frosty white hair running all the way across his scalp. His hair is long but does not get in his eyes, only trailing down his back. His cheekbones are high up and his lips are moulded together. His face is unblemished other than a battle scar running across his left cheek. He is oddly good looking, and many of the women in the kingdom have tried to win over his affections, to no avail.

Ezekiel's eyes are big and brown, like a baby cows, however don't let them betray you, he is a bloodthirsty warrior and would kill you if you were to get in his way. Ezekiel's chin and upper lip are free from any facial hair, which sometimes makes him look much younger. A lot of men scoff at this behind his back, but those that Ezekiel finds out doing so are usually dealt with in the swiftest and most horrific ways possible, Ezekiel doesn't like people laughing at him.

Ezekiel's clothes are mainly coloured in light blues to blacks, the colours of water. However, in battle he equips a heavy duty set of plate armour minus a helmet, which he wears a shroud of chain-mail so as his vision is not restricted. Although the Plate armour is extremely heavy, it does not seem to hinder Ezekiel as he has had many years training in it.

Ezekiel's clothes:

Personality: Ezekiel behaves as expected of a high ranking officer in the military. His peers and the more important, higher ranking members of the kingdom gain his utmost respect, however, the underlings and the lesser people of the kingdom are usually greeted with a certain arrogance, tinted with rudeness or anger, depending on his mood.

Ezekiel is quick witted and usually when getting into an argument with him, he could shut you up easily with a few simple comments. However, when annoyed, he can usually resort to using his fists to knock someone senseless. Ezekiel also lacks patience, which a lot of people say will be the downfall of him.

History: It was a dark stormy night when Ezekiel was born, and the mysterious Egg given to them by an old man in Ho-oh city had hatched, revealing a baby Elekid. His mother, a lower class woman, and his father a high ranking military officer. They lived on a farm outside of Ho-oh City. It was peaceful for them, as they lived away from the politics, and his father was only called to army duty when something serious happened, which was quite rare. They lived a good life, farming for money. They were never very rich, but they had enough to have a nice lifestyle. When Ezekiel turned 12, his father began teaching him how to use the many blades that existed in the Region of Johto. Ezekiel took to them with extreme prowess, being able to sometimes best his father with certain blades. When the War came, the legions of Ho-oh had trampled over his farm, and his father had been killed for treason, siding with the Lugia clan. Ezekiel instantly enlisted, and as he fought, he rose higher in rank, until he controlled his own group of men, known as the storm-runners, one of the most elite forces in all of Lugia's army, and one of the most powerful in Johto.

Skills: Ezekiel is extremely skilled with both sword and blade, and in any type of fighting style. He could easily fend off a large group of men on his own if it came down to melee fighting.
Ezekiel also has a strong fist, so if he runs out of weapons to use, he could use his hands to knock down his enemies, although even he knows that he wouldn't get very far with this type of combat in an actual battle. Ezekiel is also a skilled leader, capable of leading his 50 soldier group with an iron fist, and capable of leading them into battle, and winning.

Flaws: Ezekiel's most identifiable flaw is his anger and frustration towards the Ho-oh nation coupled with his Arrogance and impatience. Often in battle he will charge forward with Electivire and cause havoc, but he never seems to come out with a scratch, but it only takes one well aimed arrow, or a deadly swoop from a blades edge to end him.

Weapon: Ezekiel uses a scythe in battle, as he finds that he can use the hilt to block swords and the blade can be used to sweep around him to kill as many enemies as he can. The blade is very ornamental, with etchings of legendary Pokemon all over it, a small mouse like one flying at the top, and at the bottom several other creatures, one looking like a whale, another looking like a serpent with a head-guard.
Many of the Pokemon adorning the hilt don't exist, but for some reason the craftsmen saw them in a dream of his and had to put them down on the blade, for artistic purposes.


Pokemon: Electivire


Pokemon Name:  Eleking


Pokemon Personality:  Eleking is exactly like Ezekiel, they both charge into battle and eliminate the opponents, Ezekiel's Scythe swinging malevolently and the electric shots coming from Eleking. They are both a worthy team to face, and a very difficult team to beat, as they have not been defeated yet.


Pokemon History: (Basically the same as Ezekiel's.


Pokemon Specialty: Shooting lightning bolts at enemies and using different types of punch, Ice punch, Fire punch and Focus punch. Eleking can also charge Ezekiel's blade with Electricity, to make it more deadly.


Pokemon Flaws: It's flaw would be it's pride, as it believes it is one of the greatest battle Pokemon that have ever lived.


Proof of Reading: Defeating a Team Rocket grunt in Ecruteak city, the boy's name is Ethan and his pokemon is a Quilava.


Anything Else: (Anything other than this that you'd like to add?)

Um, only two things: One, you might want to display a bit more weakness on a character like this. When i read it, I see Mr. Beautiful Kills Everyone And Is A Perfect Soldier, excluding the lack of planning before battle. It does seem like his ultimate downfall will be magic. Secondly... Warriors aren't really necessary in this RP, since the leaders aren't out trying to kill each other, only trying to avoid each other in peace. However, some members of each family do try to attack the opposing family on their own (usually in a small group). Anyways, your character's career might be more like defenders, guarding your family from anything harmful.

Thank you, and you're reserved! You may have any non-legendary Pokemon as your link, though their evolution should be similar to the human's age and past experiences.




Maganium 90, thank you, and you are also reserved!

Update: However, I am finally finished.

Full Name: Tulio Inza
Nicknames: Tuto
Sex: Male
Age: 19

Family: Divine Water
Career: Farm Crops

Appearance: Tulio is a tanned male, although darker in his face and exposed body parts due to being exposed to the sun. You could say his chest and covered parts are lighter. Standing at exactly 6 feet, his overall appearance is quite charming. His hair color is dirty blonde with a hint of black at the ends. Tulio's hair is also wavy, but short and barely going past the bottom of his ears. Forest green is his eye color, which is one feature he is proud of. His face is rather "heart-shaped," and he has a star shaped birth mark on his right shoulder. Despite his working habits, he's quite built and has a slim body.

His clothing style consists of what is on the picture below, except he doesn't wear any necklaces and minor differences. He wears a robe that is metallic red with dark green details and edges. It also has long sleeves on both sides. The strings and clothing tied around his waist is dark green in color as well. Tulio wears sandals that are brown in color, his socks the ordinary white. Underneath his robe he wears a slightly weak chest armor. This chest armor is a one-piece with his armored shorts, which are covered by the robe. Underneath all of it is a black fishnet that covers all from neck to wrist, and all the way down to his knees.

Spoiler:

Personality: Tulio can be described as a clown. Although his appearance shows a calm, honest person, he's actually a joker. Able to pull off jokes, keep the people happy, and show off stunts, he's one of a kind. Although positive, he's short-tempered and sticks with his decisions. Thanks to this, he never accepts defeat or mistake, always wanting to win the conversation unless he's been proven wrong with solid evidence. Tulio is the kind of guy who acts before he thinks, and isn't afraid to tell the truth. One major flaw in Tulio is how impatient he is, and sometimes takes rash decisions.
History: When he was born, he was the youngest. Spoiled and given everything, he was envied by his older brothers and sisters; three sisters and two brothers to be exact. Having a big family, he was the one picked on and hated upon by his serious, boring siblings. It wasn't long until he realized that he wanted to be different compared to his older sisters and brothers. Tulio then started to learn tricks, acrobatics, stunts, exercise, and fix himself up to be not only charming, but flexible as well. The only problem was, his personality was a bit off. His parents noticed the many flaws in him, and thought that maybe working in the farms could help him mature a bit more. Of course, we couldn't leave out Julio, but Julio was very mature and decent compared to Tulio. He was against the idea of changing the boy, but he had to agree.

He was sent to work around his early teens. At first it was torture to him. The sweat, pain, hunger, money, and even the lack of free time he usually has. Julio helped him out with half the work, eventually growing in strength and stamina. Unfortunately, Tulio's personality never changed. This only added more flaws, and thus his parents saw him as difficult to manage and understand. By the time he started to grow into a young adult, his parents let him off to do what he pleases. A bit baffled, he decided to stay and manage the farm none of his other siblings wanted to take over. To this day, he comes a few times a week to check and fix up the farm his father still owns.

Skills: Tulio is agile, flexible, and able to do amazing acrobatics such as backflips, front flips, jump from tree to tree, and such stunts. He has also mastered the bow and arrow in his spare time.
Flaws: He can't swim. Another big flaw is his lack of experience with battles. He might be a master at long range battles thanks to his bow and arrows, yet close up he's too weak and defenseless.
Weapon: As odd as it sounds, he uses a bow. He has a talent in bow and arrows, but has no idea how to use the common bladed weapons.

Pokemon: Bisharp
Pokemon Name: Julio
Pokemon Personality: Julio is a very patient, calm, cunning, and fast pokemon. He rarely talks unless spoken to, and finds it hard to befriend others. Although a gentleman, he has a cold personality, and always wants to master the art of battling. Sometimes both Julio and Tulio clash due to their different personalities, yet Julio manages to calm down and take the pressure.
Pokemon History: Just like Tulio, he was youngest out of the family as well. Right away he was given tasks to do and work to accomplish. This lead to his patient, noble personality. Julio helped Tulio work in the farm, cutting down what needed to be cut and using brute strength for other tasks. Along the way he learned to use basic moves and managed to convince Tulio of using the bow and arrow for self defense. One day, on Tulio's 18th birthday, he was taken out for more training. Without warning, they were somehow attacked by a small group of flying pokemon. Although the attack was small and Julio managed to fend them off, this was enough to cause him to evolve into the Bisharp he is.
Pokemon Specialty: Julio's battle style is unique in that he's not only very silent, but fast. He's also a strategic pokemon, so he tends to push it sometimes as to disobey Tulio if his decision makes no sense. One thing Julio has that Tulio needs is accurate eyesight. Julio is the one who points and helps Tulio with his arrow shooting and accuracy.
Pokemon Flaws: Julio can be taken advantage of easily. If somebody was to ask for his help, he wouldn't hesitate to deny. He's been taken advantage of many times due to his docile nature. He's also very emotional, yet doesn't let others show except Tulio.

Proof of Reading: The man's purple marker inked on the map since he pushed on it too hard....mmmhm.

Anything Else: One hobby he secretly has is constellations. If not exhausted or tired enough to sleep, he tends to stare at the night sky with Julio.

Sorry, forgot about you. Reading it over, I have decided that you are accepted.

I like how much your characters confilict in more than one way. However, do remember that they are linked. They feel the same emotions, suffer each others' pain, and feel the same feelings, even when they're in disagreement.
