[MichaelaTheUchiha]

Just asking, is our character allowed to have been on a journey before hand? And I'll my SU in soon~!

 

[~Wind~]

Yup!
It can be either be before joining legends guard, or as a mission after joining.
Legends Guard is a bit like a ranger, but rather than protecting pokemon, they're protecting the worlds balance so it doesn't collapse.
Just make sure you either have a new pokemon with you or your pokemon is under level 30 to 50
I'm not too sure...
but if you read the spoiler (naughty!) then you'll know why you can't be too strong.
Shreds of Time is a term with multiple meanings...

 

[Cyndaquasher]

I was going to post an rp sample, but should I still do it since I'm already accepted?

 

[~Wind~]

You can if you want, but that feature is mostly there for those who either don't have a good sign-up but are good at actual RPing, or people who join after the slots are filled.
(You need an extremely awesome post to get in after that.)

 

[MichaelaTheUchiha]

Oh, what was it...Grey Cloud? Stormy Cloud?

Hey, hey, hey, you said that if you were a mod checking the thread in order to accept it...xP I'll finish this later. X_X Sorry.

Name: Miharu Mizushima (Yes I really did need an explanation)

Age: 16

Gender: Female (What about those with two genders? WHAT ABOUT THEM?!)

Appearance: Miharu has long black hair and black eyes. She is sometimes told that her eyes look "unnatural" and "unnerving" when she stares at someone, so she uses that to her advantage. She wears a long black sleeve shirt and ratty jeans. She doesn't care much about her appearance and as such she acts accordingly. She doesn't like wearing shoes, although if necessary, she will wear sandals.

Personality: Miharu isn't very trustworthy and is very cold and calculating. She normally doesn't care about people, but if a pokemon is in trouble, she would always do what she could to help them. She is very sarcastic and curses frequently, though it's mostly inwardly and when the situation calls for it, outwardly. She hates it when people brood about their life, especially if their life isn't bad and she also despises arrogance. She's very quiet though, but at other times she isn't afraid to speak her mind. She has quite a temper on her though, and can snap at your private feelings easily. She really only has a good relationship with her pokemon. In reality, she's a very contradicting person with a very "unique" personality.

History: At ten, she went on her pokemon journey from Pallet Town. She hadn't needed a pokemon from Professor Oak, since she had her male Ralts since she was a little kid. She had defeated all eight gym leaders and competed at the Indigo Plateau and managed to go into the top sixteen before losing to another skilled trainer with more experience. She went to Johto after losing and gotten all eight gym badges, but did not compete in the Indigo League again.

After that, she traveled to the Hoenn region where she did not capture any more pokemon for her team. She won all eight gym badges and competed in their league. She had managed to make it into the top four, but lost and as she was in fourth place, she was unable to challenge the elite four and Wallace. Afterward, she went to Sinnoh. She then, not surprisingly, beat all eight gym leaders and competed in their tournament. This time, at age sixteen, she won the whole thing. She challenged the Elite Four and Cynthia, and had managed to beat the Elite Four but barely lost to Cynthia. After that, she decided to join the Legends Guard, but before that, as a good luck gift, she had gotten an Eevee from Cynthia. She had past the Legends Guard's test afterwords and is now a new member.

Pokemon: Since Miharu has been on a pokemon journey, Gallade. But if that's not allowed, Eevee. (And in sometime in the future, Eevee will become Jolteon x3)

Notes: Miharu has had training in several types of martial arts and is a black belt in all of them. She has an IQ over 200. She has a speaking disability, can't use "can't" "don't" "couldn't" etc., and cannot use "you" to refer to another person (i.e., "Hey, you there!" That phrase would become: "Hey, person.")

RP sample: You already know how I RP, but if I have to...

Spoiler:

Taken from Valencia Academy: Curse of the Moonstone:

Miharu walked to the volcano, already having everything that she needed. Her pokemon and food amongst other supplies. She had assumed the volcano would be hot, but she didn't feel like changing. If she had got hot enough, she could always take off her white long sleeved shirt and underneath that was a black t-shirt anyways. Plain of course.

She noticed the guard knocked out, in which she rolled her eyes at. Most likely he had put up a fight and someone knocked him out. It looked like he was almost waking up as his fingers started to twitch. Swiftly, she pressed a pressure point which made him fall deeper into unconsciousness. It was a place in which she learned from her various martial arts. It wasn't well known. He would also be out for another hour.

Miharu walked up to the group, noticing only three people were there and sighed before taking out her book, laying down on the ground, and started to read her book.

It is sad because most of the stuff that they said about legendary pokemon, I already know. I already knew that multiple legendary pokemon exist as well, I did see quite a few in the minuscule time I went on my journey.

Miharu noticed something that she didn't know. Apparently, in a new region that was relatively far away from all of the regions, there were two legendary pokemon that represented Yin and Yang. Which was quite interesting, as they represented just Yin and Yang. After all, all legendary pokemon have their own Yin to their Yang or their Yang to their Yin. Apparently, these two pokemon were quite specific.

The book was also quite specific. It had genders, moves, pictures, and places where they had been sighted. It also said whether they were fast, have good attacking power, great defensive power, or a mixture.

Almost like the pokedex.

Usually when one had such specific information, it meant that they had either seen a legendary pokemon and made friends with it, or they had captured them all. It was hard to do, but not impossible. But, with all of this information, Miharu was leaning on capturing them all. Her eyes narrowed.

Who would have enough power to capture them all? There are quite a few legendary pokemon imprisoned here...perhaps...whoever captured these legendary pokemon managed to capture all of the legendary pokemon and studied them along with using them to their own purposes. But who would have enough power to capture all of the legendary pokemon? The why might be pretty easy, but you may never know. Lunatics do not have very intelligent thinking processes. Maybe whoever captured all of the legendary pokemon is the one who captured Mew...

Miharu abruptly stopped at that line of thinking.

Mew's gone. She has been gone for eleven years. She is not coming back.

Miharu closed her eyes and pushed the memories at the back of her brain. She started shifting through the books again.

Alright, here is my sign up! :)

Name: Farrah Robyn Blanchard

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Appearence: Being born and raised in an exotic, tropical island faraway from all five of the major regions in the Pokemon world, Farrah has a unique, dark-skinned complexion. She has bright, hazel-colored eyes that she inherited from her mother, of whom is a well-known former model back in her homeland. Her light-brown, curly hair is a trait she shares with her father, as well as her tall height of 5'10" (around 1.5m).

Farrah's usual attire consists of a long, dark blue and gold-striped poncho that has a black trident in the back. Underneath the poncho, she sports a black and navy blue 'one-shoulder' t-shirt with a Hello Kitty pin latched onto the shoulder. She wears a black mini-skirt and black, open-toed anklestrap 4-inch high heels; this brings her height to around 6'2" (around 1.8m).

Farrah's curly, light-brown hair is usually left natural, although should any special occasions come up, she will typically straighten her hair and put it in a bun. She has bright, white and straight teeth as a result of wearing braces as a child.


Personality: Farrah usually "speaks" with her eyes or facial expressions, rather than actually saying anything. She is more of a listener rather than one to ramble on about themselves. She feels that saying too much can be harmful, and would rather open up when she builds up trust in someone. Because of this, she has a tendency to appear as "stand-offish," and a common misconception is that she is rude and stuck up.

When she feels that she can get close to someone, she has no problem showing her more sensitive side. Farrah has a rather random, as well as sarcastic sense of humor. Around her friends, she is much more relaxed and enjoys letting loose. Usually, she will avoid confrontation, but if the situation scales to the point of seemingly no return, she is not afraid to stand her ground and retaliate if the situation calls for it.

All-in-all, Farrah can be described as a girl who is tough, yet would much rather be relaxing and drinking root beer with her friends than being in conflict.


History: Farrah Robyn Blanchard was on December 24 in a tropical island that is quite far from every known region-to-date, although due to the fact that she owns a Tepig, it would seem that the closest main region to her island is Unova. Farrah's mother, Saniya, made a living as an extremely world famous model; her father, Rohan, was a music producer for a local production company on the island. Because of Saniya's intense work schedule, she traveled around the world many times, and Farrah and her two younger twin brothers (Wilco and Kamari) would often join her. The Blanchard family was a force to be reckoned with and was considered to be one of the wealthiest families living on the island.

As Farrah matured into an adolescent, she became quite interested in Pokemon training. By this time, her twin brothers, despite being around two and a half years younger than her, had already left to become trainers a month or two after their 11th birthday. Farrah chose to stay on the island to assist her mother around the house, whose modeling career had to end abruptly after she had been diagnosed with an acute form of cancer. Despite her job loss, the family was still making an abundant amount of money due to her father's music producing career; he had eventually started his own production company sometime before Saniya had been diagnosed with cancer, which has been a huge success so far.

Around Farrah's 15th birthday, she decided to leave the island to become a Pokemon trainer since her mother's cancer had finally been eliminated. She first met up with her brothers, who were traveling in the Unova region, and received her first Pokemon, which was an Oshawott. Her brother Wilco acquired gym badges, while Kamari traveled to study medicines that could help Pokemon. Wilco got runner-up in the Unova Pokemon League, and decided to travel to the Sinnoh region and compete in the league, while Kamari stayed in Unova to assist Professor Araragi. Farrah returned to the island after traveling with her brothers, and stayed there for a few more years because her mother's cancer unfortunately relapsed. Saniya died six months before Farrah decided to travel to the Kimuto region, after leaving all of her Pokemon at home except for an egg that she won at a karaoke competition that contained a Tepig.

Soon after arriving to the Kimuto region, Farrah learned of an organization known as the Legend Guards, and decided to join simply because she wanted to figure out a way to better hone her skills as a trainer.

Pokemon: Tepig (Pokabu)

 

[~Wind~]

a small grey cloud flew over the hills. (guess the words from that, Non-rule readers)

It's Ok to have gallade, but you must have eevee and only use gallade if:

Spoiler:

Spoilers that you musn't know!

Spoiler:

You are battling a future self.

Anyway, here's my character, he doesn't take up any of the 7 slots, so there is still room for 3-4 more RP'ers

Name: Set Kaita
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Appearence:
Set has blue hair that is spiked at the back but still hangs at the front, his Grey eyes are clear, rather than stormy, and show his calm nature.
Set is around 5 foot 9, but does not have much upper body strength, fortunately, he is quick and can land a good kick when needed.
Set casually wears a long sleeved blue shirt or a grey shirt with a glalie imprint on it with plain blue jeans, though when on a mission he usually wears the Legends Guard jacket over his usual clothes, although it is not mandatory for anyone under admin to wear uniform unless stated otherwise.
Personality:
Set is quite calm and not easily provoked to anger, but will become enraged if he sees something as extremely cruel or evil.
Set often looks at the sky and particularly likes mornings in the Kentu region, when the sky is white.
Set is loyal to his friends, but can be annoying or mean to people he particularly doesn't like.
History:
Set was born in the Kentu region, part of Angla.
While he lived most of his life in Kentu, Set once visited the Tahjo region, a place that his father had explored when he was 14 years old.
This is where he first heard of the Legends Guard, as they had set up here after a disaster involving Kyurem of the Unova region.
He was inspired by thier sense of justice and balance, things he was interested in.
When he was 14, Set was given an egg containing an Oshawott. while the egg didn't hatch until Set was 15, Set joined legends guard and was given zigzagoon to use until the egg hatched.
At first Set simply solved minor issues around Kentu, but when he proved to be good at his job, he was put on a mission in the Hoenn region, recon on the remains of team aqua's base. this is when his Oshawott hatched, due to the similar climate to Unova.
Set was put on this mission to Kimuto in order to test his ability in new areas such as battling and physical combat.
Pokemon:
Oshawott.
Named: Futa
Level: 11
Nature: Hasty. Futa normally is raring to battle, and is Set's Ace pokemon, due to being with him since birth.
History: Futa was hatched in lilycove while Set was on a mission in Hoenn, and was given to Set by his father.
Since then, Futa has trained with Set's zigzagoon, Xig, and is now level 11.
Futa cannot wait to evolve into a futachimaru, and is excited for his new mission.
Moves: Tackle, Tail whip, Water gun, Water sport.
Unusable:
Zigzagoon.
Named: Xig.
level: 26
History: Xig was given to Set when he joined Legends Guard, and is a great friend of him and Oshawott.
Xig was exstatic when Futa hatched, and has since trained with him every day.
Moves: Tackle, Headbutt, Sand-attack, pin missile
RP sample:
I don't really have to do this, but just demonstrating that if you want, you may do this as an rp sample:

Spoiler:

Cailean was pacing back and forth...
'so, we're all agreed, we sneak in using olivoir as a key, free anyone in there, beat up the grunts and if there's any trainers, get going with them to the magnet cave on Emerald Island. Right?'
Everyone agreed. The party ran along, off of the routes, to get there faster, towards the base

~~~~~

Later, at the team rocket base, the party stood round the door.
'Ok, Olivoir, put your hand on the pad.'
He did so and the system spoke.
'Bleep. Access Granted. Welcome, rank 9 grunt, Olivoir.'
They waited for the camera to turn off and walked in.
'The prisoners are along the hall, through the briefing room and to the left. The trainers are on the left and the pokemon on the right.' He paused and nodded to the hall. 'There should be about 5 to 10 grunts here. If you hadn't knocked me out, I would have been in the magnet cave... getting a promotion aswell...'
Cailean turned round.
'No-one wants to hear your sulking.'
they proceded to the brief room.
'Wow! what a huge tv!'
'C'mon, Abs!'
They finally got to the trainers room and were knocked over by a girl with black hair barging through the exit.
​

Btw, about the superly unfinished sign-up earlier, I accidently pressed enter. :nervous:

 

[MichaelaTheUchiha]

So, no Gallade in battle until I do the thing mentioned in the spoiler? (Trying to make sure I get it)

Anyways, I'll finish my SU now. Got an hour until school starts. (YES TWO HOUR DELAY!)

 

[~Wind~]

I guess you can use it while battling Kier, since he'll have like, level 20-50 pokemon, depending on the levels of other members strongest pokemon. (if they have any.)

 

[Cyndaquasher]

You can if you want, but that feature is mostly there for those who either don't have a good sign-up but are good at actual RPing, or people who join after the slots are filled.
(You need an extremely awesome post to get in after that.)

Ah, fair enough. Been kind of busy over here, what with the Christmas dealio getting underway. Also, I'll just pop my su over here in a spoiler for convenience.

Spoiler:

Name: Nathaniel (Nate) Thompson

Age: 12 years, 5 months, 3 weeks and 2 days.

Gender: Male

Appearence: Behind a pair of incredibly thick glasses sit Nate's honey brown eyes. His skin is pale, which appears to contradict the amount of time that he spends outdoors. He often wears a large green trenchcoat which most believe is the reason that he doesn't get burnt. His dirty blonde hair is often pulled back into a short ponytail which is rarely messed up, unless he feels stressed for some reason.

Personality: To say that Nate is shy would be a bit of an understatement. He often panics and tries to find someone trustworthy to hide behind if someone startles him and if that doesn't work, he will try to stutter his way through a sentance or two before finding a way to escape.

However, he is a different person during a pokemon battle. He gains a great deal of confidence when battling with his Cubone by his side. Some people even claim that he gains a good few inches in height when battling!

History:

Spoiler:

Being a sickly child from a rather wealthy family, Nate was never allowed to wonder far on his own, in case he fainted, got kidnapped (again) or lost whatever he had eaten that morning. Needless to say, he didn't have any friends that were his own age and that lead to a lot of troubles when his well-meaning parents tried to introduce him to others.

On one particularly cloudy day, Nate managed to sneak away from his home to explore the nearby forest. He wondered around for hours, until he saw a group of older kids who were chasing a cubone with sticks and stones. It didn't take a genius to figure out that that wasn't right, so Nate did something he had never done before; he spoke up.

"H-hey! Leave that c-cubone alone!"

"Well, well, if it ain't the Thompson Wuss. What ya gonna do eh? Tell on us?"

Nate hadn't planned this far and he began to panic. Luckily, that was all the time that the cubone needed to gather his strength and chase off the bullies. Since then, the two became as inseprable as a chansey and its egg. Seriously, have you ever seen a chansey without its egg? Creepy stuff there, man.

As for why he joined the Legends guard, that's an easier story. Nate simply told his parents that he wanted to join to gain more confidence. What he didn't know was that this decision would change his life in more ways than he could imagine!

((Got a little carried away there, oops!))

Pokemon: Nate's Cubone, who he named Kenelm is almost a polar opposite of his trainer. When threatened, Kenelm immediately jumps in front of Nate and prepares to guard him from anything (or anyone) that would seek to harm them.

In a fight, he looks for the quickest (and often most unorthodox) way to end a fight. Besides, time spent fighting is time that is better spent napping!

 

[ComiTurtle]

May I please reserve a spot I'll have my form up ASAP.

 

[~Wind~]

Michaela:
You can use gallade once eevee gets to about the same level, but if you are doing what's mentioned in the spoiler, battling kier or any other particularly hard opponent, you can use him.
Also, is the gallade Bishamon?
Cynda:
Thanks!

Ok guys, should I put this RP on hold from december 22nd?
or just leave it?

Edit: Comiturtle- Reserved

Yes, the Gallade is Bishamon. x3

I had just realized, I had typed all of my SU down and head off to school after the two hour delay and I had thought that I clicked "save changes", but it ends up that I didn't and my mother turned off the computer. My finished SU was deleted.

FML. XD

I'll be redoing it today. ^^

If you want to put it on hold, put it on hold. If you don't, then don't. o-o.

Edit: Done! ^^ Tell me if Miharu seems to be a bit overpowered. >_> At least she lost against Cynthia? xD

 

[~Wind~]

Michaela- Accepted
She doesn't seem too overpowered, but she seems to be unlucky with leagues XD
I'm just gonna say that Hu... um... The Admin in charge of this mission...
Asked Miharu not to use Bishamon unless needed.
Sound good to you?

 

[MichaelaTheUchiha]

Michaela- Accepted

Asked Miharu not to use Bishamon unless needed.
Sound good to you?

If Miharu gets into any trouble, Miharu will be forced to tape the pokeball closed and that probably wouldn't work. XD

It'll be like this;

Bad Guy holds out a gun to Miharu. "If you move even one inch, I'll pull the trigger and you die!"

Miharu sighed. "Can I at least tape my pokeball shut? I think I'll need one more piece of tape..."

Bad guy blinked. "...?"

Miharu took that as a yes and got a piece of tape and taped it over Bishamon's pokeball. "There."

Bishamon suddenly appeared behind the bad guy with the gun and knocked him out.

Miharu sighed. "Never mind, I'll probably be fired."

That's how it would all go down! xD

Ah, wait I need to add something to the SU.

Martial Arts, IQ is over 200 sort of thing. XD

 

[~Wind~]

Yeah, but if that happened, bishamon would be needed, ie: you can use him.

Grey Clouds are pretty cool.

Name: Grant Dreguls

Age: 24

Gender: Male

Appearance: Grant has mid-length messy dirty-brown hair that at the end curls to the left to stay about the same height and out of his eyes, but still occasionally, his hair moves and coverers his deep blue eyes. His eyes hide behind his rectangle shaped glasses that are made out of titanium and give him an intelligent look. He stands about five foot eleven inches, which is a good height. He has a semi-athletic build that is more so for running or swimming then lifting or throwing. He enjoys wearing a pinstriped fedora and suit with pinstriped slacks personally tailored to fit just right. He is always wearing gloves changing the color everyday between black, grey, and white. You won't find Grant without his titanium suitcase, which holds his old pokemon. His shoes are dark grew and shined so well you could see your reflection in them.

Personality: Grant was always looking for challenges that he could test himself against so he could prove himself. He was also very free-spirited you couldn't get him to stop doing anything he wished to do after he put his mind to it even if it was dangerous. He has a good heart and could never hate anyone no mater what they have done he can only despise people strongly with a passion. He has never really been able to take a side on anything like to be good or evil he stays in the neutral gray zone in any fight. He is stubborn and likes to be in charge and he doesn't take back talk kindly. The one thing he cannot stand is people hurting or mistreating pokemon just the sight of it fills him with rage he will immediately fight the evildoer pokemon vs. human or human vs. human. It is rare to see him without a smile on his face and if you do not it is best to run.

History: Grant started his journey later then most people he didn't start until he was 16 and his family could afford him a pokeball. He was born in Hoenn, RustboroCity and as soon as he got his first pokeball he caught a Nincada. He got all eight badges by using a team of Banette, Shedinja, Sableye, and Ninjask. He made sure he could always fight two on two in which he would start out with Banette and Shedinja and make Banette use skill swap on it he then sent out Sableye and used skill Swap on it with Banette making Sableye invincible. He ended up fighting Miharu in top 4 and narrowly defeated her as Miharu had KOed Banette before it skill swapped. Grant then won the tournament. He faced off against Wallace who had agreed to a double battle Grant won against him with his normal strategy. He became champion for a year until Steven came back and defeated Grant quickly taking his spot as champion once again (who soon lost it again to Wallace.). However, with his effort Steven gave him an egg and a ticket to the Kimuto Region. The egg hatched on its way there into a female Snorunt which he decided he would only use in the Kimuto Region. Grant then joined the Legend guard and has done many great deeds in their name for legendary pokemon some have been easy tasks he did alone and others he has needed help with but so far, he has always completed his mission. One of his easier tasks was protected a Mew from being captured by a recovering Team Rocket who hopped to make another Mewtwo they could control easier. One of the more difficult ones he went on, with a group, was trying to calm the fight between Rayquaza and Deoxys the group had to freeze both of the pokemon with ice attacks and then seperate them a few miles before they thawed allowing each of the legendaries to escape. But his hardest mission, by far, was the one he foolishly went alone was when he went to Unova to stop them from enraging the fighting types Cobalon, Terrakion, Virizion, and Kerudio. Unfortunently when Grant got there, after defeating many Team Plasma members, the Legendaries were already enraged by being hit with dark attacks. Grant had to use his old team and Snorunt to even get close to keeping them all calm. That was his last misson before being sent on this one.

Pokemon: Snorunt: Female (Future Froslass.)
Unusable Pokemon:
Banette
Ninjask
Sableye
Shedinja

RP sample: I'll try to find a good one soon.

 

[~Wind~]

Comiturtle- Good, Accepted

 

[Cyndaquasher]

Ok guys, should I put this RP on hold from december 22nd?
or just leave it?

I'm going to say yes to putting it on hold, simply because I'll be helping run a camp for a week after Christmas. I just didn't want to miss out on getting in on the ground level for what looks to be an interesting rp!

Well, either that or Nate can watch from a conveneiently-located clump of bushes until I get back.
