A Time of Turmoil

[Zimvee]

Plot
In Buharians eyes, Buhar was the land that was the most blessed by Arceus. High atop Timber Mountain there is the Spring of Beginning where it is said that is the place where Arceus first touched where Buhar would be. Groudon then shaped the land while Kyogre created the surrounding sea. Rayquaza made the air that we breathe while Dialga and Palkia created Time and Space. Shaymin made the fields and jungles while Regigigas shaped the land into what it is today. The final one was Heatran who created the steel we use today and the fire that lights our homes.

The ancient people who respected all of the gods made temples or shrines to them. These served as the bases of the Realms which our kingdom is divided into today. We have had a long war which was the result of religious persecution. Now we are a land of four realms with people only respecting the gods they like best instead of all the gods.


This has caused the Demon Pokémon, Giratina, to unleash his followers on the world. Giratina is the evil brother of Arceus who sent Giratina to an alternate dark world along with all of his followers to atone for their sins against the Gods and against humanity. However with all the turmoil in the temples, this has weakened Giratina's seal. While he cannot yet escape he has unleashed his most faithful followers to spread lies and deceit about the other faiths hoping to completely destroy the seal, allowing him to be free. In order to protect the humans Arceus had so lovingly created, he sent his servants Lugia, Ho-oh and Celebi to Buhar to protect humanity.

This is where you come in. You are a child of one of these faiths. You experienced a divine experience with Arceus telling you what must be done and what would happen if you fail. You must find the TRUE temple of each of the gods in order to receive their help and blessing the fight that is ahead. The TRUE Temple is the temple the ancient people built to honor the Gods. However these have become lost in time. You must now journey across the land to find these temples and stop Giratina from emerging from his Torn World.

Setting
Fire Realm: A realm on the west side of Buhar with scorched plains to the west, tall mountains to the east, and sandy deserts to the north. Its opposite realm is Water as the Fire Realm can't understand why the Water Realm would settle down in one spot.
Tribes: Fire Tribe: A hot blooded tribe of thieves and cut throats. While they are honorable amongst themselves they will kill anyone that has what they want.
Mountain Tribe: A tribe of proud strong people, the people of the mountain are distrustful to outsiders and have a strong sense of community.
Desert Tribe: The tribe of the desert are nomads, allowing the wind to take them where it wants to grow. Secretive and full of tradition, more often than not you must be born into this tribe.
Pokémon Types: Fire, Rock, Fighting, Ground
Gods: Groudon, Regigigas, Heatran, Ho-oh
Water Realm:A realm on the south end of Buhar with deep oceans covering the south end and murky marshes covering the north end. Opposite realm is Sky as the Water Realm can't understand why people would want for nothing and seek beyond the borders of Buhar.
Tribes: Ocean Tribe: A prosperous tribe who uses the ocean's bountiful resources to trade and live off of. A relaxed bunch they gladly welcome newcomers and old to their village.
Marsh Tribe: Unlike the Ocean Tribe, the Marsh Tribe are distrustful but not mean-spirited. While they do live in the marshes, they get by and have odd customs.
Pokémon: Water, Ice, Poison, Electric
Gods: Kyogre, Palkia, Lugia
Sky Realm:A realm on the west side of Buhar with deep jungles on the south border and grassy plains covering the north. Opposite realm is Light as the Sky Realm cannot understand why the Light Realm would destroy nature to better themselves.
Tribes: Jungle Tribe: The most primitive tribe on Buhar, these people have resisted coming out of superstition and keep to their old ways. Living on the trees gives them protection from the hunters of the night.
Plains Tribe: a Tribe that loves all forms of nature and Pokémon, they are welcoming and hospitable. Slow to anger, quick to forgive it's near impossible to make them mad.
Pokémon: Grass, Flying, Bug, Dragon
Gods: Rayquaza, Shaymin, Celebi
Light Realm: The most civilized realm on Buhar touches the northern border. Mostly cities and contains the Spring of Beginning. Opposite realm is Fire as the Fire Realm hordes steel which the Light Realm needs.
Tribes: Light Tribe: The only tribe in the Light Realm, these people believe in the concept of Yin and Yang. With odd customs and vast egos it's no wonder people leave these guys alone.
Pokémon: Psychic, Ghost
Gods: Dialga, Darkrai (False God; just a high powered Pokémon), Cressilia (False God; just a high powered Pokémon), Ho-oh and Lugia as they believe they represent different sides of the same coin. Naturally the Water Realm and the Fire Realm are not happy about this.
Dark Realm (Non-SU): The Torn World of Giratina where Arceus banished him to atone for his sins. A place of madness and despair those who accidently find themselves here quickly go insane.
Tribes: Dark Tribe: These people are the followers of Giratina and are nearly insane and have little morals. They will do whatever it takes to get their God out and claim the world as his own.
Pokémon: Dark
Gods: Giratina

Rules
1) No Bunnying or Godmodding
2) Follow all PC rules that they have set up
3) We will not be catching other Pokémon as there are not Pokeballs yet.
4) This is set during the Dark Ages or Crusades if you will. Plan SU's accordingly.
5) No flaming
6) Use proper grammar and spelling. I'm not perfect myself and a few would be ok but please DONT type lkie dis. It gets annoying.
7) This is a joint RP between me, JohnPaulJones, {Swan}, and Zeta Dimentio. We will be the leaders of a particular realm. EXAMPLE: I'll be part of the Fire Realm so I will monitor the SU's that flow in for the Fire Realm. If I like it but JohnPaulJones doesn't I'll get the final say. This also means if you start straying and running how the story's going ANY Co-Leader can take action against you regardless what Realm you're in.
8) Put "All You Need is Love" somewhere in your SU so we know you read the rules.
9) Have fun! Or don't. We don't care.

Sign Up
Name: Obviously your name goes here.
Age: Preferably 14-24
Gender: Male or Female
Realm: Again the Realms are Fire, Water, Sky, or Light
Tribe: While this really doesn't affect the game it does give us an idea where your character will start off.
History: I don't want your characters life story here but two paragraphs would be good. Remember a paragraph is 4-6 sentences.
Appearance: A paragraph would be good.
Personality: Two paragraphs is a must here! This isn't a Journey RP where you can get away with happy go lucky people. These people have only recently got out of a huge war and are used to religious persecution wherever they go. I'm not against happy people but they have to have some qualities that doesn't make them perfect.
Pokémon: You will only have ONE Pokémon partner throughout this RP. It also can only be a Pokémon Type that was specified in the Regions above. It can also only be a Baby or Stage 1 Pokémon. EXAMPLE: A Chimchar or Monferno would work awesome if you SU'd for the Fire Realm but wouldn't fly in the Sky Realm.
Personality: What is your partner like? Just a paragraph here would be great.
History: Did you grow up with your partner or did you recently meet? Again a paragraph or two would be nice.

Gameplay
Don't freak out, we're not doing chapters. However we're going to have some sort of structure so the RP is going to play out like…well a play! We will have a Prologue explaining how your character came to understand the current state of Buhar, Act 1 will deal with the characters within their respective realms coming together and finding the True Temples. Act 2 will deal with the characters going to their opposite realm's True Temple to show Arceus they are willing to unite Buhar to fight off Giratina. Act 3 will deal with every character uniting and storming Giratina's stronghold and defeating him. We will then have an Epilogue detailing what happens to our characters after the battle. Don't worry; I'll go more in depth when we cross those bridges.

"All You Need is Love"
Sign Up
Name: Kai
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Realm: Water
Tribe: Ocean
History: Kai was born in the Fire realm, but didn't like the people in the fire realm. They were "more boring than watching paint dry" in Kai's words. With that statement, the fire realm told Kai to leave and find a better realm to live in, if he could. Kai took this offer and started to travel for a few days and found himself in the Water realm. He immediately met an old man from the ocean tribe. The old man took Kai in and would play practical jokes on Kai every time Kai least expected it. Kai took a liking to the old man and his personality. The more Kai stayed close to the old man, he started to feel as if the ocean tribe was the place he was meant to live in. After a few more days he met Piplup and then joined the ocean tribe. Since joining the tribe, Kai has used the tricks that the old man taught him to try to cheer up the suffering ocean tribe.

Appearance: Kai has fairly tan skin and green eyes. Most of the ocean tribe girls find this to be the most attractive features about him, but his personality negates their liking for him. His hair is black and spiky, he calls himself a "Joking devil" because of this hairstyle. The ocean tribe also call him the "Joker of the ocean". He doesn't wear shoes, because he believes they will only slow him down while he is trying to escape after a joke goes wrong. So instead he wears a ocean blue shirt, with white ocean waves, white jeans and a white cape that can cloak him if necessary.

Personality: The ocean tribe is always questioning why they let Kai join their tribe. He is a messy person and causes lots of troubles for the ocean tribe residents. He is never seen in the same spot for more than five seconds, bnecause every five seconds he thinks of something messy and fun to do. Kai is known as the "Joker of the ocean". He is always playing a practical joke on others in the ocean tribe. Sometimes he will leave his signature, a piplup print, on his work or he will just return to the scene of the joke and confess. He has been threatened to be kicked out of the ocean tribe, because of the suffering from him and the war, but nothing has happened yet. Kai believes that by drawing the ocean tribe's attention on his jokes, he will bring them some smiles and they will forget about the war.

Pokémon: Piplup

Personality: Piplup is Kai's best friend and his cleaner. Because Kai can be too careless in his actions and cause a mess, it is sometimes up to Piplup to clean up Kai's mess. Piplup believes Kai is not a troublemaker and so he has no problem cleaning up these messes. Piplup has a habit of disobeying Kai's orders. This is because Piplup believes he is stronger than Kai, which makes him confident in his abilities as Pokemon. He believes he is the strongest water Pokemon of the Ocean Tribe. Piplup believes that one day he will fight a Pokemon God and defeat it. Kai has tried to change Piplup's nature, but whenever he tries Piplup replies with a Bubblebeam attack.

History: Kai met Piplup when he was a young boy and Piplup was a young Pokemon. When Kai first met Piplup, it was battling a Magickarp and losing. The Magickarp was using its tackle attack to knock Piplup around. Kai decided that he didn't need to interfere with a Pokemon fight. That was until seven more Magickarp came and attacked the weakened Piplup. Kai could not watch from afar as a weakened Pokemon was attacked by a group. Kai jumped into the fray and saved the Piplup from the seven incoming tackle attacks. Piplup saw Kai's courage and immediately used his Bubblebeam to clear the Magickarp away from him and Kai. Kai was bruised from the hard bodies of Magickarp, but was still able to walk. From that point on Kai and Piplup became friend's but also reversed roles, Kai became the troublemaker and Piplup became the cleaner.

"All you need is love"
Name: Ramon
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Realm: Fire
Tribe: Desert
History: Ramon was born into the desert tribe. His mother had raised him single handedly and was looked down upon becuase of her being a single mother. Ramons father had passed away bofore his birth, he died from shielding his pregnant wife from thieves in a robbery, Ramon has never seen any record of his father but always asks of him. His family is looked down upon because his father was seen as 'dying like a coward' because he didn't fight back but the fellow tribes member didnt know that he was protecting his wife who was carrying his unborn son. Ramon's mother now suffers the hardships theier tribe throws at them, and is trying not to show any signs of hurt. Every dirty job is thrown to Ramons family but they show no signs of weakness. Ramon now seeks to win the hearts of his tribe to put his poor mother's mind at ease.

When the war came to place, Ramon was 15yrs old. He was desprate to fight for his tribe and volunteered too, but he was seen as 'too young' and 'worthless' and was not accepted. But even then that didnt stop him, when attacks came, he helped those injured away for recovery and tried to protect those in need. But nothing seemed to appeal to his tribe, it seems it is right what the the other tribes say about the desert people, 'their hard to please'.

Apearance: Ramon has a natural dark even tan and a quite muscular body. He wears a turban-like cloth around his head and mouth and nose so he does not inhale the stray sand particles. He also wears a white, robe-like top, reavealing his arms, with a rope belt to stop it from opening up, he wears white baggy pants that are tucked in to his hard-wearing boots. Ramon has black, thick short hair and yellow eyes. He has a light stubble running from his side burns to his chin and has a piercing in his right ear with a cresent moon crest earing, it was his fathers and was given by his mother. His boots are black and thick, they reach to half of his calf. he is a 5'11'' and wieghs 11 stones, because of his musclar build.

Personality: Ramon has a tough heart, he can take a lot of beatings and takes everything thrown at him. He will defend his beliefs, friends and family but earning his trust is hard.. He is known to be quiet, and shady because he seems to move without people noticing. He is also seen as a trouble maker, mostly because of Numel. Ramon seems to have no sense of humour and acts very serious over every matter, he barely ever smiles. He shows love and care towards his mother and is determined to prove to his tribe his mother has done a great job in raising such a son by herself. Ramon only ever gets angry when someone speaks wrong of his mother, opr if Numel has caused a really big riot.

Pokemon: Numel

Personality: Numel is very protective over Ramon, But Numel is still only a child and can be mischievous but Ramon tries to keep him in line. Numel is also very shy but springs to action when someone is in trouble, showing its protective side. He is known to cause trouble by letting his Magnitude attacks go wild. Numel trys anything to sneak away from Ramon, so he can play, but his weight and size makes it hard. He finds Ramon very strict since he' alsways telling Numel to 'Calm down'. Numel is also very clumsy, but that could be because of his size once again, he always crashes into near by objects to cause trouble but if he is confronted directly he'll shy away behind Ramon. There has been many times that Numel has got Ramon in trouble.

History: Ramon was once again migrating with his tribe through the harsh deserts of the Fire realm. But when he stopped for a drink of water, a harsh sand storm was whipped up and seperated him from his fellow tribesmen. He then saw an aggrevated Tyranitar charging a hyper beam at him. Sudden earthquakes could then be felt, The Tyranitar was shooken, making it retreat. When the storm died down, Ramon fainted, but from the sand clouds emerged a small Numel and it dragged Ramon to safety. When Ramon awoke, he saw the Numel look up at him and he then knew what had happened, Ramon knew this Numel had caused those earthquakes to scare that rampaging Tyranitar away to save his life. Numel started jumping with glee to see he was fine and for the first time in a long time Ramon smiled. From there the duo returned to the tribe, and have been partners and great friends ever since.


edit: Sorry, i was in a rush the first time.

 

[Darkest Shade of Light]

All you need is love

Name: Light*

Age: Can I be 13? If not, then 14.

Gender: Male

Realm: Light*

Tribe: Light

History: Light was born into the Light Realm, and is shunned for the name he was given. His parents died when he was 12, he now takes care of himself. Light is in accelerated areas of training for fighting and education, as he strives for perfection and to be accepted with his people. I'll add more when I think of some details.

Appearance: About 5'6.2". Black hair, about 1.5" long, perfect white teeth. ALWAYS (that means literally always) wears a black, short-sleeved shirt, and long, faded blue (faded blue as in a color, not aged to fading) jeans. Has black shoes with a red streak down the center, ties laces double-knotted and puts them under his shoe lip. Not exactly ripped, but has some muscle. I'll edit for more detail when I think of some.

Personality: Very pessimistic and hates humans in general, only a few people have been able to befriend him, and he doesn't talk much to anyone, barely any more to his friends. Trains Pokemon as individuals and has an attitude similar to Shadow the Hedgehog's (just a mental image for you). Angered easily, and when he's mad, BAD things happen. Always seems to make everyone around him kind-of irritable and angry. Short memory, as in he can think something, focus for five minutes on the task at-hand, and then forget what it was. Has future vision dream things, but he can't remember them until after they've already been presented in real time.

Pokémon: Can I use Charmander? If not, then Misdreavus.

Personality: If Charmander: Light met Charmander during a "visit" to a volcano in the Fire Realm, and they've been best friends ever since. Charmander is very cocky and will take on anything that comes his way, and most of the time--win. Charmander is very much like Light, and loves to walk around in the morning with Light on his back to look for opponents.
If Misdreavus: Misdreavus is a prank loving Pokemon that Light met during one of his "exciting" adventures he had while out past bedtime. For the rest of the personality, see the second-last sentence of the Charmander personality.

History: If Charmander: Like I said before, Light met Charmander during a "visit" to a volcano in the Fire Realm. They then went back to the Light Realm and quickly established themselves as a renowned team.
If Misdreavus: Light met Misdreavus during "exciting" adventure blah-blah-blah. OK. Misdreavus and Light would often sneak out at night and scare people in the dark, just for a good laugh. They trained very hard during the daytime when they were pranking people, and quickly became renowned trainers in the Light realm.

*I apologize for 'Light' being my name and Realm. I use that name in all my RPs.

 

[perfectmonster]

Can I reserve a spot in the Sky Realm? SU will be up ASAP:classic:

 

[Zeta Sukuna]

(@Darkest Shade of Light: *Inhale* No. Sorry, but that's below my standards. Your history is a bit too short, while the minimum set by Zimvee is a paragraph, I expect someone to put a little more effort into it then that. The name is something that I could never see as an actual name, and the history, is a little too cliched for my tastes.

Your personality shouldn't need to be compared to someone else, that hurts your chances in my eyes. Also, future sight? Really? I know you forget about it, but I'm still going to have to put that against you.

The appearance, is something that I see everywhere. Maybe not on here, but in fanfics, really. Kind of reminds me of Ebony Darkness Dimentia Raven Way, with the perfectly straight white teeth. I'm not comparing your entire character to said Mary Sue, I was just reminded of that by his straight white teeth. This isn't too bad of a character description, but it could be longer.

'When he's mad, bad things will happen'. What does that mean? Does he have a gun or something? Does he have powers? This hints to something that he can do to harm others. Is it that when he gets mad, he wishes something to happen, and it does? Explain that, or don't put it in.

Charmander, you can't have, so I'm not going to look at that. Instead, I'm going to focus on Misdreavus. Even if the personality is displayed in Charmander's personality, put it in Misdreavous' too! Don't be lazy! Other then that, Misdreavus seems okay to me.

Now, back to the history. It's time to run through it.

Light was born into the Light Realm, and is shunned for the name he was given.

I would think his parents had more common sense then to name their kid Light. It sounds like a Gary Stu name to me.

His parents died when he was 12, he now takes care of himself.

... Eh, despite how cliche it is, I suppose that is valid. I put my own character through that in other RPs, but you could explain how they died.

Light is in accelerated areas of training for fighting and education, as he strives for perfection and to be accepted with his people.

And to finish, how is he doing in this? If he's in accelerated areas of training, he must either be a prodigy, or someone who's modestly good and struggling. You might want to add that detail in as well.

That's what I have to say about this. If you can fix the errors, then you can try again for the Light Realm. But if you try for another realm, then you still might want to touch up on this.

 

[PlatniumPiano]

Can I reserve a spot in the Sky Realm? SU will be up ASAP:classic:

Sure, but if two people get their SU's up before you, sorry. But good luck!
I will be expecting the SU...

 

[silvanarrow]

Hey, this looks like a really cool RP. May I reserve a spot in the Fire realm? I'm working on an SU right now, which I'll try to finish tonight.

 

[Underoos]

Name: Sabir Bihar
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Realm: Fire
Tribe: Fire Tribe

History:
Sabir was born into the Fire Tribe, and has grown up as one of them ever since. Sabir has been told from stories from his father, that he was a complete accident and his parents weren't even sure if they were going to keep him. In the end, his mother went to full term but died in childbirth. His father believed this was a bad omen, but raised his son with as much love (and as little as resentment) as he could muster. Yes, resentment was still there however, and it basically shaped the shaky bond Sabir grew to have with his father. His father taught him everything Sabir would grow to know about how to survive and how to act, even though sometimes Sabir would dislike his father's methods.

Upon turning 15, Sabir's father apparently decided it was finally time for him to have a companion of his own. His father presented Sabir with a small fire type with a lizard like body and flaming tail. Sabir took immediate liking to the little Pokemon, and was glad to finally have someone to relate to. His father began to drift further and further away, until finally it grew to a point where Sabir barely ever sees his father. His father comes around once in a while to check up on him, but otherwise stays out of Sabir's way. Sabir figures this is good though, because it proves that he's a man.

Appearance:
"All You Need Is Love"
Sabir has a tall, mysterious look about him. He stands roughly around 6'2", and doesn't expect to grow any more. He has a light form of muscle on his lean frame, but other than that not much. His skin is a medium tan color that was inherited from his father. As for facial features, Sabir has dark brown eyes, a straight nose, and perfectly average lips. He has the light beginnings of a mustache and a bit of a goatee. His hair is black, not always the best kept (though he does try to make sure it looks alright), and falls roughly an inch above his shoulders.

For clothing, Sabir tends to stick light. He is most generally seen wearing a black tunic with a hood on it that mostly hides his features. Sometimes he will have a full cloak that is thicker, so obviously the cloak is for colder instances. For his pants, Sabir wears tight leggings, though the tunic almost makes it look like he's wearing shorts in darkness. His shoes consist of leather boots that go roughly somewhere around his thighs, and are broken in and easy for him to move around in. Sometimes he will wear gloves, but not very often. He also has a small dagger at his belt that was a gift for his 13th birthday from his father, just for protection.

Personality:
Sabir is a difficult person to explain. He also has had quite the personality change from when he was a child. When he was younger, Sabir used to think that theft was wrong and horrible, and his Tribe was bad for doing it and they had no honor. This caused him to get in trouble lots with his father, so soon Sabir forcefully changed his own ways. Eventually he began to think that stealing would get him places, so that's how he still feels to this very day. He is also a very quiet and serious person, most likely because of (once again) how his father brought him up. If Sabir gets angry, it would be likely you wouldn't know because he would keep his mouth shut and just give you a blank look. Sabir is also very against religion, because it has been forced on him, and simply is a topic that makes him angry. He also rather dislikes people from other tribes more than people in general, which is quite a lot.

On a bit of a lighter note, Sabir can be a kind person. He is most like this around Charmander, and very few people get to see his soft and caring side. If they do, it's a pretty special occasion and it means Sabir trusts them. He doesn't really trust anyone either, not even his father. Growing up Sabir was taught to be honorable, and his definition is that theft is perfectly fine to survive, and thus is honorable. If someone questions his honor, Sabir will not hesitate to fight them to prove them wrong, even though he tries to avoid fights as much as possible. It probably has something to do with his male pride.

Pokémon: Charmander

Personality:
Charmander, just like his type, has a very fiery personality. Charmander won't back down and has some pride issues, which Sabir figures is due to his personality type. He's quick to action when it comes to fights, and has an extreme loyalty to Sabir. That being said, however, he generally dislikes all other people and it will take him a while to warm up to them. Charmander is also a pretty tricky Pokemon, and Sabir has taught him how to steal pretty well without getting caught.

History:
As mentioned previously, Sabir and Charmander met when Sabir's father gave him to Sabir on his 15th birthday. Sabir taught Charmander everything he knew about theft and how to not get caught, and soon they were best pals. Charmander often could sense that Sabir and his father weren't exactly close, so Charmander soon warmed up to Sabir and took on the role as his confider. They stole together, they ate together, and basically did everything together. Charmander has been growing much stronger though, and both he and Sabir are hoping for a solid evolution to further their skills.

EDIT: I have it up =)...I just did it but didn't know if you saw...=)

 

[{Swan}]

K9S8 - I'm sorry but I'm going to have to reject you. You didn't listen to the paragraph rule, as in you need at least two good paragraphs in history and personality.

Furthermore, the land has just undergone a great war that resulted in the separation into different realms just because they couldn't get along. The Dark Ages, which is the time when this is set, is also one where people are more bound in place, pride for your land was a common thing back then and barely anyone moved out of the country, or in our case realm. It also sounds kind of far-fetched that an entire realm, which would be busy with much more important affairs, would tell one of its people to leave, especially one so young.

Most of the ocean tribe girls find this to be the most attractive features about him, but his personality negates their liking for him.

This is generalizing and personally one of my sign up pet peeves.

Personally, I don't think your character really suits the roleplay is my opinion, but you could always try one of the others, or create a new one.

 

[Zimvee]

To Cameruption: I'm afraid I'm gonna have to say denied with yours.
1) History: Very shallow. I said two paragraphs not just a bare bones one. Why and how did his father die? Has anything happened to Ramon because of the fact people look down apon his family? What of his mom? These are the kind of things we need to know about.
2) Thats just barely a paragraph. While the clothing makes sense because he lives in the desert, I don't see anything else about him. Hair, eyes, what are the boots like.
3) Very Gary-Stu. I can pick up and RP, Fanfic, or Comic Book for that matter and find this character. This is the person you will be playing as for the whole RP. FIX THIS.
4) Again, very Gary-Stu.
5) Typical but I'll accept that.

To silvanarrow: Reserved but if two people come and make an SU before you, you're out.

To VII.Bond Of Flame.XIV: Pretty good. You are accepted though I don't think a Fire Tribe member would be wearing black on the scorched plains. You can keep the cloak and hood but since black absorbs more light he would overheat very quickly.

 

[silvanarrow]

Hey, guess what? "All You Need is Love!" Here is my SU. If only one of each kind of Pokemon is allowed, I would be happy to make alterations. I noticed another SU already has a Pokemon in the Charmander evolution line.

Name: Anton Chesnokov
Age: Male
Gender: 21
Realm: Fire
Tribe: Desert

History: Anton was born as the first child of his two parents in the Desert Tribe. His little brother Maks was born when Anton was three. His tribe was constantly on the move, and as soon as Anton could walk, he was trotting along beside his parents and their Pokemon. His father was well respected and a skilled trainer with a powerful Blaziken, so Anton and Maks absolutely idolized him. As he grew up, Anton learned the unique culture and traditions of his tribe and only rarely crossed paths with people from other tribes. These interactions were brief at best, as the Desert Tribe preferred to keep to itself.

Disaster nearly occurred when Anton was 10. A raiding party from the Fire Tribe attacked to try and steal the Desert Tribe's goods and Pokemon. Anton's father was on the frontlines trying to defend his family but was seriously injured along with his Blaziken. The duo barely survived and managed to recover after several months, but the experience left Anton shaken and mistrustful of outsiders. While his father was recovering, Anton tried to fill his shoes as the "man of the house" and was particularly protective of his little brother. Impressed, his father gave him a young male Torchic, the offspring of his Blaziken, and charged him to grow stronger and find his own path in life. Since then, he has trained with his Pokemon partner, named Griffith, so he can protect his tribe from other outsiders. He has fought in a few skirmishes with people from other Realms who sought to persecute the Fire Realm, but those encounters have ceased almost entirely since the war ended.

Appearance: Anton stands at 6"2' and has a slightly tanned complexion from traveling for so long in the desert. He is not particularly well muscled, but the muscles that he does have are built into a toned, lithe physique. He has chocolate brown eyes and wind-tousled black hair that he rarely bothers to comb; instead he lets the fringe fall across his forehead. In terms of attire, he wears a loose gray tunic with red trim on the collar. He pairs this with dark brown pants and lightweight, sturdy boots. When needed, he dons a light gray cloak with a hood to shield his body from the harsh midday sun or sand-laden wind. Having been trained as a fighter to protect his tribe, he carries a lightweight hand-and-a-half sword in a scabbard buckled around his waist. Finally, he carries a worn, leather pack that holds his supplies, including food, water, medicines, and spare clothes.

Personality: Anton tends to view the world in an easygoing, slightly cynical manner. A true child of the nomadic Desert Tribe, he is independent and self-reliant, to the point of being too cocky for his own good. He has no problem with talking to people and doesn't shy away from conversation. However, he maintains his façade of being laid-back and cynical so he doesn't show his true feelings. As a result, others tend to get frustrated in talking with him, thinking that he is mocking them or not taking them seriously. He also has a penchant for giving people nicknames instead of referring to them by their real names, often just to tease them.

In battle or when faced with problems, Anton keeps up his confident, snarky personality, usually throwing in a few taunts to his opponent, while on the inside he is focused and serious. He can't stand to lose to anyone and relishes new challenges. When meeting new people, Anton places little importance on forming long-term friendships or in getting to know people on a deeper level. This is because he tends not to trust outsiders. In turn, most people who try get frustrated with his cocky, cynical attitude and eventually give up. However, a handful of people in his tribe have managed to get past his walls and earn his trust to the point where he doesn't see the need to be sarcastic around them. He also has a soft spot for his little brother Maks, who is younger by 3 years. Maks and his parents are the only ones with whom Anton is never cynical.

Pokemon: A male Combusken named Griffith

Personality: Originally timid as a Torchic, Griffith's evolution into Combusken gave him more confidence and an abundance of energy. Griffith does not share in Anton's overconfident cynicism but is instead a serious-minded Pokemon who throws himself wholeheartedly into training. He is fiercely loyal and protective of Anton and brave in battle. He relishes the hot temperatures and near-constant sunshine in the desert and loves running long distances across the sandy dunes to burn off extra energy. However, he gets quite grumpy during those rare occasions where he encounters rain or a large body of water.

History: Griffith is the son of Anton's father's Blaziken. Anton received Griffith when he was 10, after his father nearly died in a raid by the Fire tribe. The two bonded by training together for long hours every day so they would be better prepared to defend their tribe. They also fought together in several skirmishes against war parties from other Realms and thus are used to watching each other's backs. He evolved into a Combusken during one such battle and was pleased with the increase to his strength. After evolving and gaining fighting-type attributes, he specialized in hand-to-hand combat to better complement Anton's skills with the sword. Like Anton, he looked up to his father as a youngster and hopes to equal or surpass him one day.

"All you need is love"
​

Name: Sunalli Valatoni

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Realm: Light

Tribe: Light Tribe

History: Sunalli has a younger brother at the age of 11 who's name is Michael. Their mother died during giving birth to Michael, due to her already being ill and near death when she went into labor. It was a wonder that she was even able to have Michael. The family was already in a poor state, unable to get many necessities that they needed to live a happy life. Because of this and the death of his wife, their father went into a depression, turning abusive towards his kids, especially Michael. He beats them often, leaving bruises on both Sunalli and her little brother all of the time. They avoid him as best they can by pretending to go out in search of goods for the family. She and her brother's relationship is that of a vague friendship. They mostly keep to themselves. She tries not to blame her mother's death on him, but she can't help but feel a burning hatred towards him deep inside.

Sunalli spends most of her time with ghost Pokémon, her love and passion. They are an escape from her family troubles and the hardship of the religious warfare. She mainly enjoys the company of the evolution trio of Ghastly, Haunter, and Gengar. There is a spot in the tribe where an old, rundown and almost ruin like stone building is that those species of Pokémon especially seem to enjoy. Having been exposed to their somewhat toxic gasses at a young age, Sunalli now has breathing problems. At random times she will start coughing harshly, usually causing her to pass out from not being able to get any air. She usually wakes up anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour later. Aside from the harm that comes from it, she still spends time with all of the Pokémon she has grown the love.

Appearance: Sunalli is 5'3" and a rather lean built girl.She has pale skin, partly inherited from her parents and partly from staying in the dark with her ghost Pokémon friends. Her eyes are a light blue, but when in just the right lighting can seem to turn a pinkish shade of red for a few seconds. She often wears a purple dress of sorts, with her favorite purple and blue boots. Always adorning her neck is her mother's small blue scarf. Her hair was originally black, but over time turned a muted purple color, due to the toxins she was exposed to. All of the purple reflect on her gained obsession of the color.

Personality: When she was a little girl, she was a very smiley and generally happy person. When her mother died and her father turned abusive, coupled with all the war trouble, that persona wilted away. She soon discovered the love of ghost type Pokémon, who kindly let her play and stay with them. She has a silent hatred of people who judge people and Pokémon solely by appearance and so called reputation. She is a generally quiet person who prefers to be the observing party in a situation. She doesn't usually get mad, but when she does she doesn't just get mad... She gets absolutely furious. Sunalli will start to lash out, in a way almost going berserk. Though she may appear shy, she is really just an anti-social little girl of sorts.

Pokémon: A Ghastly named Tenma

Personality: A mischievous little fellow, Tenma enjoys tricking people and messing with their heads. Sunalli tries to train him to be better behaved, but he just can't help his curiosity. He likes playing around, but the bad part is he doesn't know when to quit. Considering how long he's been a Ghastly, he should be do to evolve any time now.

History: Tenma was the first Pokémon Sunalli ever met. She had run away from home after the first time her father abused her, crying. Tenma was a small baby Ghastly at the time, and had gotten lost. When he saw Sunalli sad her cheered her up and made her laugh. She in turn helped him find his way back home, where she met the rest of the ghost Pokémon she spends time with. When Tenma got older, he started following her around, and eventually stayed with Sunalli wherever she went. They are a force to be reckoned with when it comes to Pokémon Battles. They use the trick of misleading and deceiving in their style of battling.


I think I fixed everything that you wanted.

"All You Need is Love"

Name: Noah Zark
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Realm: Water
Tribe: Ocean

History: Noah is the son of a fisherman and was brought up with a strong connection to the ocean. It was something his parents were both well aware of and encouraged in their child. His father would often take him on trips on his fishing boat and teach him the tools of the trade. This was fine for a time, but young Noah felt he wanted more. He saw the sea as being a vast road for him to travel upon and developed a sense of wanderlust that he craved. As he grew older, he created for himself a small sailing vessel, using it as means to travel to different areas along the coast. There would be days at times when he would not return, but when he did, he would have many stories to tell and collection of gathered objects he had found.

When he had reached adulthood, Noah's father had volunteered to aide in the warfront and suffered a great injury during battle. The damage had left him with a permanent limp, forcing him to retire from service and return home. Having heard the news, Noah stopped adventuring for a time and focused his energies into helping support his family with his father unable to work. He continues his parent's trade, living as a fisherman close to home and the wharf.

Appearance: Having lived a life very close to the ocean, it shows in Noah's appearance. He stands at about 5'11" and is of a fairly average body build, with tan skin and some muscle tone developed from working as a fisherman. He typically wears clothing items of light materials, such as light vest and short pair of trousers, the leggings cut off at the knee. He almost always walks around barefoot, but on occasion wears a pair of wooden sandals. He has coarse, dark brown hair often covered by a blue bandana worn over his head. His face is rather welcoming, with wide, hazel eyes and a large grin along a strong, unshaven jaw-line. A significant mark on his body is a curved scar running along inside of his right hand, from a deep cut with a hook when he was still a child.

Personality: Noah's a sort of person who rarely ever gets angry. At his best, he's generally carefree, even largely lazy at times. Of course, he's also curious and has a love for travel and adventure, often at his best when he's making plans for different journeys he'd like to take. Raised by two hard-working parents, Noah knows when to put real effort into his work and it shows; he's a fine fisherman and sailor, with a great sense of duty to one's family and pride for his nation. And like most among the Ocean tribe, he's very easy to get along with, most always greeting others with a smile and a very, hearty handshake. However, even he has his drawbacks.

Again, Noah is a very relaxed individual, so much so that he doesn't generally even enjoy working. He understands the importance of those values, but it's the reasons of work that kept him from pursuing his real passion, something he hopes he may return to doing. He rather dislikes being tied down into one place for too long, being rather irritable or short with others at times. And though he's welcoming of others, he has prejudice against those involved in the military, mainly from the fact that his father was hurt while in the service. A non-violent person, his distaste and revulsion towards soldiers or those that do enjoy to fight is fairly clear in how he approaches them, or rather tries poorly not to shoot them dirty looks.


Pokémon: Waor (Wailmer)

Personality: Waor is much like Noah in the sense that both of them are rather carefree and lax in regards to life. But of the two, Wailmer is overall more energetic than his human owner, and will try to get Noah to play with him, even if he isn't all that responsive. He has proven to be very reliable and loyal, sticking by his trainer in almost any circumstance.

History: While on one of his travels along the coast, Noah came upon a lone Wailmer, having been separated from its pod and exhausted on the beach. Taking pity on the creature, he offered it a bit of food to regain its strength and spent time playing with it. The Wailmer soon took to following along with Noah as he continued his traveling, and the young man allowed this to continue on. Eventually, as he had continue his journey back home, he had taken to the sea-faring creature and made him his personal companion, redubbing him Waor. Now working as a fisherman, Noah and Waor together make for a decent fishing team near the wharf.

GDark08 - It looks like a good sigh-up, however I'd like you to beef up appearance and personality some more, remember, a paragraph is 4 - 6 lines. If you do that, then I see no reason why you shouldn't be accepted.

EDIT: GDark08, I see no problems with your sign-up now, welcome aboard, matey!
(Edit here cause I don't want to clutter the thread :D This message has been brought to you by the Post Recycle Agency)

 

[GDark08]

Thank you for your consideration and advice Sawn.

I had edited my previous post, tried to give more detail in both appearance and personality. I didn't want to further clutter the thread with another SU, so I hope it was okay that I edited it.

 

[Legend]

Quick question before I attempt to sign up in this interesting story: How many players will be permitted to join each Realm? I would like to know so I can make a sign accordingly.

 

[Zimvee]

About 2 players per realm. And since we as the leaders will be playing that will mean we'll have around 12 people in the whole rp. Too many more and we'll risk the story becoming convuluted.

 

[Cameruption]

I have edited my first post, i hope its good enough now so that i will be accepted. If there are any problems, let me know please.
