Cursed!

[~Ozy~]

Over the years, the greatest minds in Johto, Kanto, and Hoenn have wondered what force it was that created Pokemon. Was it a freak accident of evolution, similar to the one that gave rise to the the first humans? The intelligent design of some creator-god? An unknown mutenogen? Most modern people take the first view. Unfortunately, and not to their knowledge, they're wrong.

Archeologists recently discovered ancient tablets referring to a city named Nymsiad, and within it, and ancient evil known as Raynel. It drove the citizens of Nymsiad, once known as Elimyncia mad, turning neighbor against neighbor. They eventually developed odd features and abilities. Wings, fire breath, telekinesis. Their appearances began to change. They slowly became Pokemon, driven to a more primal state by Raynel's curse. Oddly enough, once the change was complete, they became docile. Occasionally, others have found Nymsiad and fell victim to the ancient evil within, creating new breeds of Pokemon.

You, of course, don't know any of this. Archaeology is boring to a high-school student on a camping trip with their friends. You have no idea that the ruin of a city is anywhere near your hometown, much less one that can change who you are and what you will become completely. All you need is a place to get out of the rain when your tent gets blown over in an all-too-sudden storm. Poor you.

You see, Naxos City is located in a beautiful spot. The ocean laps on one side and the mountains tower on the other. It's all-but natural for most of its citizens to love the outdoors, students included. The local High School in this small city is home to an Outdoors Club, and with summer vacation started and oppressive safety precautions gone, the members are more than set to enjoy themselves.

Camp is broken in a small valley about a day's hike from civilization. There's a nearby stream, dead wood for a fire, and after the first night camped, a week before anyone expects you home. Off over the mountains, though, clouds are forming...

[Scottura]

Name: Scottura Wyvern
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Talents: Pokemon Trainer, Martial Arts, Sketching, an excellent theif (not that he does it often)
Supplies in pack: A few pokeballs, Sketching pad and pencils, a couple of potions and antidotes, some berries, money, pokedex, and some snacks.
Description: He is 6'6 a bit of a toned body. His skin is slightly tanned from all the time he spends traveling. His eyes are a light golden brownish-red and his hair is dark black. His hair is a bit spiky at the top, but really messy. Around his neck is a gunmetal silver necklace/pendant in the shape of a crown. He has a scar coming from his right shoulder blade to his left rib on his back. His clothes are dark gray cargo-pants, black long-sleeve shirt with a dragon inprint on the back, and black and red sneakers. On his hands are some black fingerless gloves.

Personality: He is the quite type, though he talks rarely to people he has met. The only person he ever really spoke to was his two sisters. He doesn't question people about their lives and their history; as long as people don't question him. He speaks his mind, but considering he is a quite person, it's a bit hard to notice him. When he does make friends with people, they can find he is very trustworthy, yet he does seem to infuriate them alot. If he's angry, most people find that when they're around him that they sense a dark aura coming from him.

Other: Can be a little shy about being around girls. He can grab something without people noticing its gone, until its too late. Likes to be called Scott.

[ShieldWolf27]

Description: https://www.sfgalleries.net/art/sf3/sf3-3s/series1/yang.gif

He likes to train with his pokemon and train in kickboxing. He is skilled at what he does and that sometimes gives him a big head. 90% of the time, you will get along with his rather easy.
Other: He hates guys who hit girls.

 

[Kalylia]

Name: Ayame Minade

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Talents: Ayame has intense artistic prowess. She plays more instruments than most people can name, including piano, flute, cello, violin, clarinet, guitar, harp, and more. She dances with grace and beauty hardly seen in this day and age. Her drawing skills are fair, but she tends to shy away from that. Her pictures were never very happy. Then again, neither are the songs she writes.

Supplies in pack: A well-stocked first aid kit, a five-subject notebook, a stock of pencils, pointe shoes, a simple black leotard, fire-starters, matches, a change of clothes, a swim-suit, necissary toiletries, sunglasses, a canteen, and a supply of high-energy, nonperishable snacks.

Description: Ayame is a small girl, and is very delicate. This comes from being a dancer. Her hair is long, flowing, and a deep, ebony black. Her eyes are a strange purplish hue with lighter, almost blue flecks running through them. Her skin is pale and creamy, almost like moonlight. Her body curves nicely in the right places, but no one can tell because she wears baggy clothes to hide her form. Currently, she has a jade green camisole on, covered by a baggy black sweatshirt. Her jeans are a light blue, but also quite baggy, with a small hole beginning to show in the left knee. Her hair is also pulled away from her face by a long braid.

Personality: Ayame is rather distant and quite shy. She's always loved the outdoors, and joined this group at the urgings and insistance of her parents. She doesn't talk a whole lot, and many people assume that's because she's haughty (her parents are *quite* well off) or that she's just creepy. Truth be told, Ayame is rather lonely, but shy beyond all human capacities. That's why she wears such baggy clothes. She wants a friend, but can't get herself past her intense shyness. The only time she ever opens up is on a stage with an instrument or her ballet shoes. Anywhere else, she's quiet, reserved, and shy. Underneath that layer, however, one can find an intensely loyal and caring girl, a girl who would make a wonderful friend. Or perhaps something more. Being 17 and never kissed, you can't blame Ayame for dreaming of her first lover.

Other: Ayame has a rather dark past and still occasionally suffers from flashbacks. She was suicidle and anorexic for three years of her life, but has now made great strides towards recovery. The flashbacks are rare and only come with a few triggers. This also accounts for a good bit of how shy she is. The last person she got very close to pushed her over the dark edge that she's now climbing back over.

OOC: *bounces in anxiousness to start*

Scottura, DQR, and Aang, I expect better. First, this is NOT a trainer RP, so the Pokemon thing doesn't quite work out so well. An amatuer trainer is fine, yes, but not to the level your sign-ups suggest (Love, I'm sorry, but this kinda applies to you too, in a slightly different way). That, and I'm not going to be feeding you in the RP. :P Two (and mainly for Aang and DQR), I expect detail put into your sign-ups. I want to see something akin to NA's. I didn't ask for a sample because I wanted to leave this very open-ended as to who joined, and as to plot. Please don't make me regret that decision and revise your sign-ups.

[Shiney]

Name: Robert Price

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Talents: He has a beldum, more for companionship than training, and as a result of beldum's phychic powers, they can have a small degree of telepathic communication between each other, though it's somewhat primitive.

Supplies in pack: The rudimentary emergency supplies of a standard store bought first aid kit, anti venom kit, and striker firestarter. He also has a collapsible fishing rod (though he's far from an expert at fishing.) And a hunting knife, along with a coleman lantern, and a few changes of rough outdoor clothes. For provisions, he has two simple canteens, and mostly dried or pre-packaged foods that could hold up for outdoor use.

Description: Robert comes in at a usually striking 6'8'' with a somewhat broad frame that makes him look a lot stronger than he really is. His hair is a deep brown, usually kept slightly shaggy and disshelleved, and he has more than a fair attempt at a beard covering a fair portion of his face, all these things coming together so far to generally keep people from bothering him. His eyes a lighter shade of brown, with twinges of hazel in them at times, and at the moment he's wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans for comfort, though his dad's old military camo's fitted him well enough that he originally wore those along in case of a much harder hike than he expected.

Personality:

Other: I apologize for the unfinished sign-up, parents are busy trying to make my life miserable. I'll complete it ASAP.

 

[DragonQueenRachel]

I edited it, sorry I couldn't do much better before.

 

[Xhaiden]

Name: Xhaiden Fay Reyes (Pronounced Zai-den Fay Re-ez)
Age: 18
Gender:Female
Talents: From a young age, Xhaiden had been instructed in singing and has grown quite good at it, however, she rarely sings due to her poor self esteem and so she ceased her singing during her freshmen year of highschool. Instead she took up a less vocal hobby, Basketball. Even though she is not the best out there, Xhaiden is dedicated to the game and her drive and love of it has pushed her to play for the varsity team in school. She also is known to freelance write in her free time.

Supplies in pack: ten packs of original flavored skittles(a must for every camping trip), One standard flashlight, extra batteries, various changes of clothing, one water bottle, One swiss army pocket knife, dried jerky, Dried Sassafrass root (For tea), one standard twenty foot rope.

Description: A fairly average looking girl, Xhaiden stands around 5'4" and has a slightly athletic build from basketball. Her skin is darkly tanned, hiding the freckles that are scattered lightly over her cheeks. The teen is never seen without her frameless glasses. Her eyes are a hazel shade, often shifting between green and goldish brown. One of her oddest features is her hair. Cropped at her jaw in the front and short in the back so that it spikes upward. The right side of her jaw length bangs has been perminantely died a neon red, while the rest of her hair is a dark brown. Normally seen sporting a flannel shirt and a pair of well worn jeans, along with some form of hat and a pair of black hiking boots. She doesn't really care much for accessories other then a single solid silver ring on her left thumb. Xhaiden does however, have a tattoo beneath her left eye of an odd symbol that she designed herself.

Personality: Loud, playful, and mischievious, Xhai has a rather outgoing nature. However, she is also highly tempermental and blunt. It isn't that she means to be offensive, she just cannot help but state the truth of things and not suger coat it. This causes her to come off as rude at times. She has a very low self esteem that she distracts people from with her playful ways and even though she goofs around alot, she does know when it is time to focus and be serious. Xhaiden's temper is a very odd one that randomly pops up when certain sistuations arrise. There are times when she can get out of hand but normally she has enough self control to stick to just basic yelling.

Other: Xhaiden has a horrible fear of water and if in a situation in which she is underwater, she freezes and panics. Aside from the water factor she is a bit of a thrill seeker, which generally ends in her gaining a few more bruises.

[Cry_Blood]

I just have one thing to say before I post my sign-up, this may be my first post in these forums, but please do not underestimate me.

Name: Scott Asako

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Talents: Lifeguard training and some minor medical training (Mother is a doctor), freelance poetry writing, and his uncanny resourcefulness.

Supplies in pack: Heavily stocked first aide kit consisting of bandages, forceps, gauze, sedatives, etc, basic cooking ware for outdoor use, three subject spiral notebook and pencil, solar powered flashlight, sleeping bag, security blankets, and an assortment of various nonperishable food items.

Description: Short black hair with red highlights, natural brown eyes (which he covers with fake contacts to give him blue eyes), wears earrings in his ears, long baggy black pants with many, many pockets (one of which houses his pet Spinark), skin tight red tee with a random band on it, and black Chuck Taylor Converse Hi tops.

Personality: Scott is very suppressive, often keeping to himself and flying under the radar. He doesn't usually tend to be very optimistic and can always find the less appealing side to things.

Other: Scott cannot stand the sight of someone's bare feet, just thinking about feet makes him cringe.

 

[Skitty-chan]

Name: Nick Collins

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Talents: Nick was always a electronic person when he was little. His father, an owner of a local electronic store, always taught him how to tinker with televisions, radios, and some inferred equipment. So since he knows so much about electronic stuff, his greatest (well to him anyway) is to fix or create electronic devices. Also, since he is so good with electronic stuff, Nick has studied some physics, so he knows his stuff. Although, some people seem to always pick on him because he really doesn't do much popular things.

Supplies in pack: A GBA (with a couple of batteries, of course), flashlight, trail mix, probably too many sets of clothes, some various electronic equipment that he forgot to take out (like a soldering kit, copper wires, ohm reader, etc.), cell phone (but has horrible reception...), flares, first-aid kit, two water bottles, a pad of paper and a set of pencils.

Description: Nick's kind of tall, about 6 feet or so. Since he never goes out and body builds, he's kind of lanky. He has a sharp chin which gives him a great profile, but it gets outweighed by his semi-large nose that always gets pointed at. Nick wears a dress shirt underneath an open vest (you know, nowadays kind, not the 1950's kind) in which the dress shirt has two pens in the shirt pocket. He wears jeans, brown shoes, and a wrist watch. His hair is black and has hazel eyes.

Personality: Well, if you haven guess it yet, he's kind of.. well, nerdy. But he is definitely not a "I'm better then you are" nerdy. He's kind and gentle. Although that seems to be overlooked when he seems nervous. He never likes doing anything dangerous, but if he absolutely has to, he will. He kind of hates being such a worry wort, even if it saves his life, but he just is. He also doesn't have friends. That doesn't mean he's a loner, he just doesn't have any yet.

Other: He really didn't want to come to this camp thing. His mother wanted him to go and get some good friends, which he agreed, but he didn't want to go. Something told him, a gut feeling if you will, that something was going to happen there, whether that be bad or good he didn't know.


Oh! I hope I get accepted. I'm kind of excited about it.
