  • OOC: O yes, it's back. And with more flare than ever. This time, I am certain it is not going to die like the other...three...times. I would really like it if anyone who joins is dedicated, and will not leave halfway through. If you do, I shall be most angry. And trust me, you don't want to see me angry. My RP skills are a bit rsty, but thanks to Origin's Digimon RP, I'm getting back into my RP shoes. I hope this takes it one step further. Without further ado, I bring you...


    A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed
    A Roleplay by Deathspector


    Storyline

    Professor Oak, the famous Pokèmon Professor, and renowned artist in Pokèmon Poems has opened his laboratory yet again, for a group of young trainers, intent on claiming the title of "Pokèmon Master". This time, however, the Professor has decided to give the children a much larger variety of Pokèmon to choose from. He has told the children that they may choose any Pokèmon which they want, apart from any Dragons or any Legendaries. He says that they are too rare to have as starters.

    You see these posters all over the walls in your home own, and rush to Pallet Town, wanting to begin your Pokèmon jouirney. When you reach the laboratory, you notice four other trainers also standing outside the laboratory, and realise that they must also be here to get a Pokèmon.

    Professor Oak then opens his laboratory doors, and one by one lets in all of the other trainers to choose their Pokèmin, including you. Once you get your Pokèmon, all five of you, without knowing it, head off in the same direction: to Viridian City.

    But just before you reach Viridian City, you see a flash of pallid blue light, and you are drawn towards it. Once you step inside the light, you fel as if you have been knocked out, and when you wake up, you are far from home...

    Mission

    Little do you know, but you have just found out another completely differrnt region. Your mission in the RPG is to find your way home, without disrupting the peaceful life of the Pokèmon without humans. Yes, you may catch some new Pokèmon, but make it realistic.

    But remember, you do not know where you are.

    Other Bits of Information

    I will only allow five people into the RPG, including me. This means that once I have accepted four other people, no one else may join.

    I will not tollerate one liners, so if you like to post one liners, please do not join in here unless you decide to turn over a new leaf.

    Also, I would like it if you did NOT write in chat-speak while in character, and use proper English or American grammer

    Rules

    -No Godmodding.

    -If your are injured in the RPG, do not miraculously get healed, unless there is a reason to it, like a Miltank, or a Chansey.

    -Remember. You have no clue where you are, and what you have to do. So please don't immediately start off in a direction whcih you think is home.

    -No random teleportation. For example. Don't say this: I went into the forest. I came out of the forest with my new Pokèmon."

    -Make everything you do very realistic. Action scenes. Emotional scenes...the works.

    -Also, try not to use nicknames which have already been taken. For example. If I have a Charmander by the nickname Blaze, then don't use the nickname Blaze, or anything with the root word of Blaze, for any of your Pokèmon.

    -You may catch no more than six Pokèmon.

    Mmm...Pickle. *shot* By the way, could you add just a few lines more to the plot? Just to be on the safe side, because it's teetering on the edge right now, and I don't want to get blamed for being biased or something. ^^;;

    Name: Sia Lyons

    Age: 14

    Gender: Female

    Pokèmon Team:
    Flaaffy [Cotton] [F]

    Pokèmon Team-to-be:
    Ampharos [Cotton-F], Numel [Bok-M], Wailord [Luka-M], Tangela [Ivy-F], Claydol [Chess-M], Fearow [Pell-M]

    Personality: Sia is a very pleasant girl, who's just about everything but mistrustful. To an extreme extent. Sia is one of the most gullible girls ever, as she'll believe just about any kind of nonsense that's spewed at her. This makes her have an innocent, childish appearance, the difference between her and a child only being that she rarely feels any emotion to any kind of extreme, be it slightly extreme or the opposite. This makes her a kind of push-over at first, because she doesn't usually feel "angry" instead, she feels "annoyed". Not only this, but Sia isn't exactly the most confident person in the world, as she always over-estimate's her opponent, and under-estimate's herself. Having been born into a well-off family, she's always very surprised when she finds someone who isn't as well off as her family, and has flawless manners. She speaks in a very formal way at all times, and is always uncomfortable when someone addresses her in a casual way, or when someone speaks casually to her, though, as time goes on, she get's used to it. Sia has a 'three strikes' system, in which she'll give anybody the benefit of the doubt three times, before she makes her permenant judgement on someone, and usually, this judgement never ever changes, even if the person she's judges becomes the absolute opposite in the future.

    Description: Sia's waist-long gray hair is held back by a black headband, her hair matching her wide steely gray eyes, and her bangs swept aside to reveal these orbs of metal. She has pale, clear skin, and has a delicate appearance. She wears a white scoop-neck long-sleeved top, which hugs her small curves, flowing with the black splatter pattern in the lower right, and upper left corner of the shirt. A short black pleated skirt covers her mid-section, and is tied at the waist with a white rope styled tassle belt, which wraps around her hips twice. On her feet she wears a pair of black ballerina-style slippers without the ribbons, with silver lining, and black tights cover her once bare legs. A black glove covers her right hand, and a black chain necklace that hangs a red pendant complete's her attire, the pendant being the only splash of color in her outfit. She carries a black and white striped sling bag, which carries most- if not all of her nesseccities.

    History: Sia was the star in the Lyons family life, as she was always the perfect little girl, who never complained or whined. Of course, her father never knew this, as they were always too busy to see her unless there was a party being hosted at their expansive home. Her father, being an electrical plant owner in Larousse City of Hoenn, where just about everything runs on electricity 24/7, became very rich, and very busy, before Sia was born, and her Mother died giving birth to the girl. There were many reasons as to why Sia's Father avoided her, and one was because she resembled her Mother much much more then she resembled him. Sia was told this plenty of times in the household, but she never believed the words degrading her remaining, "uncaring" parent. As she grew older, she began to learn different skills, to pass the time, as she was schooled at home by a private tutor who taught the basic subjects, manners, and then left quite early. Gymnastics, Dance, Violin, Harp, Piano, and she read all about the rest. It became so that she only learned how to speak to adults, in the mannerly way, as she had never come into contact with anyone her age. Sia's older brother was also rarely around, though he showed up quite a bit more then her father did, and ironically enough, he resembled their father more then their mother, which was why it was much easier for their father to stand him being around. Her brother brought her lot's of different things from different and exotic regions, which he always spent a little time playing with her. In fact, it was her brother who encouraged her to Professor Oak's place and start a journey to get out a little more and learn how to live on her own. It was her brother's suggestion, and Sia agreed immediately, without a second thought.

    Extra Information: Sia knows the skills listed quite well, especially Dancing and Gymnastics, which gives her a very graceful walk and poise, partnered with her good manners and habits. She addresses everyone as "Mr." or "Ms." or "Mrs.", unless she's addressing someone younger then herself.

  • Name: Toren Shazuma (Yeah, same old same old XD)

    Age: 15

    Gender: Male

    Pokèmon Team:

    Species: Eevee
    Name: Eevee
    Gender: Female
    Obtained: Professor's Lab

    Pokèmon Team-to-be:

    Espeon (Espeon, Female) Obtained as Eevee
    Grovyle (Grovyle, Male) Obtained as Grovyle
    Marowak (Marowak, Male) Obtained as Cubone
    Sneasel (Sneasel, Female) Obtained as Sneasel
    Gyarados (Gyarados, Male) Obtained as Magikarp
    Pichu (Pichu, Male) Obtained as Pichu

    (Not necessarily caught in that order)

    Personality: Toren is usually very timid and quiet, shy in other words. He would rather smile and nod then talk a lot. However, he will speak out to voice his opinion or help someone in need. He is loyal to his friends and is very honest and truthful. He can be helpful in tough situations, and will try to do his best at everything he attempts. He looks at the world as just one large library, of sorts. When he's not drawing or playing with his Pokemon, he usually dives into some sort of book, whether it is one about fantasy or a biography. He would like to learn more about Pokemon and their world, and perhaps grow up to be a world-renowned researcher.

    Description:Toren is about average height for his age, maybe a little bit shorter. His mother always complains about how thin he is, but since he moved, he doesn't eat as much as he used to. The clothes that he wears are pretty normal. For his top half, he has on a dark blue collared shirt. He normally wears regular blue jeans, but sometimes has on khaki pants. He basically wears white socks and black shoes with silver streaks. His hair is a medium brown color and looks like standard spiky anime hair for guys. His eyes are light blue, and he is slightly tanned. He always wears his silver necklace with half of a star on it.

    History: Toren grew up in the wonderful (At least, to him) Goldenrod City in the Johto region. He had many friends and enjoyed his days at the Pokemon Academy. His father worked as a researcher at the nearby lab, and his mother baby-sat local Pokemon. He always loved to help her out with the feeding, walking, and the best of all, playing.

    Unfortunately, Toren's father was offered his dream job in a lab in the Kanto region. They had to pack up everything in move. Toren thought that he would never be happy again, as he thought that he had already had the perfect life. Now, everything was going to be different. He can't make any friends, his mother can't find any work, and he's in a new, strange place.

    As they say, every cloud has a silver lining, albeit a small one. Toren was sent a letter by a different laboratory not too far from their home: Professor Oak's. he was offering Toren a Pokemon of his very own, and best of all, he could pick out of almost anyone of them! Toren was overjoyed, counting the minutes until he was to receive a Pokemon…

    Extra Information: Not much. Toren sometimes liked to draw, even though he doesn't think he's very good at it.


    Well, hope that's good enough. I borrowed a little bit from past sign-up… hope that's okay. ^^;

Black leather combat boots make for a very proud cloths combo, it all gets ruined when you look up and see his purple top hat that he believes makes him look taller.

    THAT'S IT PEOPLE. ONCE PBS AND DAVINCI AND DONE THEIR SIGN-UPS, AND MEMORY REPLIES TO MY PM, WE SHALL BEGIN.

    My Sign-Up

    Name: Nathaniel Winterfield

    Age: 15

    Gender: Male

    Pokémon Team:

    Species: Larvitar
    Nickname: Terra-Textrix
    Gender: Female
    Obtained: Professor Oak's Laboratory

    Pokémon Team-to-be:

    Terra-Textrix (Tyranitar; Female) – Obtained as a Larvitar
    Flamma-Vinco (Arcanine; Male) – Obtained as a Growlithe
    Venin-Langue (Arbok; Male) – Obtained as an Ekans
    Veloce (Scyther; Male) – Obtained as a Scyther
    Amiga (Psyduck; Female) – Obtained as a Psyduck
    Viento-Jineta (Pidgeotto; Female) – Obtained as a Pidgey

    Personality: Nathaniel tries his very best to be kind-hearted and understanding. He really does. But he never succeeds. Being brought up by snooty rich people, he has become a snooty rich person. He looks down upon poorer people with an upturned nose. He cannot imagine a world without the luxuries that he possesses, and has no idea how the middle and lower classes survive. However, despite all of this, he is quite an intelligent person. In fact, he is smarter than most people his age, and smarter than most people older than him as well. He has had countless arguments with his teachers, and often won them. This only boosted his self-confidence, and he continued to do so. He enjoys spending time with people of his intelligence level, and getting into "intelligent conversations".

    Appearance: Nathaniel is of middle height, and slender build. Because e is not big-built, he seems to be tall, but really, he is of normal height. He has dark hair, almost black in colour, and silky to touch. He has grown it quite long, and takes extra good care of it. Often, when he is not watching, it falls in front of his eyes, and he is forced to brush it out. Speaking of which, his eyes are a dazzling blue in colour. They seem to be an ocean of emotions, swirling about without a beginning, nor an end. His skin is of pale complexion, and has a few freckles along his sculpted nose. His attire is actually quite formal for someone of his age, but he has been brought up like that. He wears a pair of flat-front navy blue trousers, worn slightly below the normal waistline. He couples that with a white shirt, which has the first three buttons casually undone, and is not tucked in. He wears black leather shoes.

    History: Nathaniel was born to Samuel and Marissa Winterfield. Being an only son, he was treated with affection, and pampered to the brink. He lived his first eight years in pleasantness, with the existence of his parents over his shoulder whenever he needed them. His parents were loving, and kind, and tried their best to make his life a happy one. He had everything he needed. Then came that fateful business proposal. His father wanted to get richer, so that he could support his family better, and left his pleasant home near the Vermillion seaside to go to Goldenrod in Johto. He would return once or twice every three months to see his family. For two years they lived like this, until his mother was called over to Goldenrod. She left Nathaniel with her sister and her brother-in-law. They were extremely rich and snooty, and their personality rubbed off on Nathaniel. Meanwhile, in Goldenrod, Marissa discovered that Samuel was seeing another woman there, and went berserk. Within one year, divorce papers were issued, and Marissa returned to her parents in Hoenn, while Samuel was busy working. They completely forgot about Nathaniel, who was living with Francesca and Michael Redwood. He then heard about Professor Oak's final round of giving out Pokémon, and knew that he had to go. If it weren't to build up his own confidence, at least it was to get away from his aunt and uncle.

    Extra Information: Nathaniel's Pokémons' names are all from different languages. Terra-Textrix and Flamma-Vinco are both Latin names. The former meaning Earth-Weaver and the latter meaning Flame-Master. Venin-Langue is French for Poison-Tongue, while Veloce is Italian for Swift. Amiga and Viento-Jineta are Spanish meaning Friend and Wind-Rider.

    Well, it's against the rules to ask I know, but it doesn't seem as though the fifth sign-up is coming. ^^; Would it be okay to start Death? It'd be kind of sad if this roleplay died for like, a third time.
