Rose Isle Royale - [ Rated PG-13 ]
No More Applicants. We're closed.
Background:
Rose Isle. To many, this name would incite pleasant feelings. But to the sailors of the world, the name Rose Isle brings to mind feelings of anxiety and fear. Why you ask? Because this island, throughout history, has brought calamity and pain to those unfortunate enough to visit its shores.
The history of Rose Isle is short but frightening. It was discovered about one hundred years ago by the crew of the S.S. Jubilee. From their reports, it was discovered that there was a strange and ominous labyrinth constructed on the island. The outer walls were overgrown with moss and decay. They also reported that a strange smell wafted from the entrance of the labyrinth. Though the crew of the Jubilee were known as some of the hardiest men alive, they refused to enter it. So after a short visit, they quickly sailed away never intent on visiting again.
The next recorded visitors to the island was the luxury liner the "Sundancer." After several days of rainy and turbulent sailing, the crew of the Sundancer decided to give their passengers a break on the nearest island. After an hour or so of sailing, they came upon Rose Isle. Though the rumors had spread across the world, they thought little of them. So they docked on the shores and set the oblivious passengers loose on the island. A family of four, known as the Deckers, ventured further into the island than the rest of the passengers. They came upon the labyrinth, and being the adventurous family that they were, they actually ventured into the labyrinth. But little is known what happened to them after that. A few hours later, the crew of the Sundancer went out to collect all of the passengers. Everyone was accounted for except the Deckers. The whole island was scoured, except for the labyrinth. They screamed their names but got little response. None wanted to go inside and look for them. But then, they heard a scream which was followed by a flurry of franctic-sounding footsteps. Emerging from the entrance came the youngest Decker, bruised and bloodied. They grabbed the boy and asked him where the rest of his family was. But all he did was scream and stare off into space.
And from that day on, no one knew what happened in there. The young Decker lived the rest of his life in an asylum, scarred by whatever happened in that labyrinth. The same happened to whoever was unlucky enough to visit the island. The labyrinth seemed to eat up whoever visited its walls.
This is the reason the Pokemon League of Hoenn decided to hold its biannual Trainers of the Future Showcase here at Rose Isle. It would be the ultimate test of a trainer's virility, intelligence, and skill as a trainer. Any trainer would be accepted as long as they were aware of the perils they were likely to face. They were to find their own way of transportation to the island and registration would occur upon their arrival. Whoever could find out the secrets of Rose Isle would win a fantastic prize and would go down in the history books. This enticing offer, the League hoped, would bring out the best in the Pokemon world and make for the most entertainment...
Rules/Sign-Up:
Alright, this premise for an RPG excites me more than my last one. But, like any RPG, there are rules. They are:
1.) No God-Moding Please.
2.) At least four lines of text please. I hate hate hate skimpy posts.
3.) But I love love love detail. Use it and I'll be happy. :)
4.) No death of one's character or Pokemon. Unless it really fits.
5.) Please refrain from using curse words and sexually strong words. I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
6.) Have fun. That's what RPs are all about right?
7.) No Legendaries. At all.
8.) If someone has registered with a Pokemon already, you cannot use it.
9.) More rules may be added if I deem them necessary.
