Sophrosune [Rated T]

[Who's Kiyo?]

Sophrosune​

"Welcome to the World of Pokemon!"

And what a way to begin. You were apart of a group of college students that were traveling from Johto to Unova to study abroad that year. You were enjoying a lovely ship ride there.

Then tragedy, of course, strikes.

Your ship weirdly crashes, and no one on the boats knows why. The group of students thankfully meets up with the captain of the boat, Capt. Davis, and run to his personal escape boat. Right before you get in, he tells each one of you to grab a backpack near it, belonging to who knows who so at least you have something for wherever the group ends up. You all hop on and get a great head start away from the collapsing boat. Watching it as you drive away, you see the horror of it killing everything else on the boat, with no other signs of life leaving it. Everything you had and brought for your trip, that including any previous Pokemon you had, are now lost under the sea. Capt. Davis says he knows where they are, and that he can make a safe trip to Sinnoh, which is not to far off from where they were.

All good, right?

Gas depletes, and you're now mercy to the powerful waves that suddenly come by, steering you off course and away from where Sinnoh apparently was. Great.
The rest of the day goes by, and you fall asleep, unknowing of your future. You wake up to hear Capt. Davis yelling in delight that the waves are shoving you over to land nearby! You end up on a small portion of beach that's apart of a town by the name of Nutteini. It's ridiculously small for a town, having very few buildings and the strange aura of claustrophobia. Upon exploring the town, you find out you're in the region of Sophrosune. Please tell me that's a good thing. All we need is a boat or airplane out of here, right?

Sorry. Sophrosune has no airplanes or boats going out of it. Its history is a colorful one, constantly having revolutions, civil wars, and threatening other regions. Once the rest of the regions declared they are cutting off all communication with Sophrosune, saying that if they so much try to or initiate war, the rest of the regions will team up and make Sophrosune smoldering rubble. No one is allowed in or out. After being segregated from the outside world, the region went under martial law, and is now being run by a new type of government that stemmed out that. The Authoritative Organization of Sophrosune, or AOS, is what they like to call themselves. They have good intent; in fact, their main goal is to reconnect Sophrosune with the other regions and live together in harmony with them. However, they've felt the needs to use some "assertive" techniques. This was inspired thanks to the increasing number of Marauders, who have this unrelenting desire to take over Sophrosune and have anarchy. Why they are constantly increasing in population and even working together in groups is unknown to the AOS. The Marauders are known to attack people with their Pokemon to steal the victim's Pokemon, things, pretty much anything they can get. There have definitely been some stories of taking over towns and kidnapping, too. The AOS, in rebuttal, have bordered all routes and cities in their control with a tall barb-wire fence and patrols. Anyone seen coming over that fence from uncontrolled areas or has any suspicion around them to be or associated with Marauders is taken in for interrogation. If found guilty, they, well "disappear." Not that they necessarily die, they just…. disappear. No bodies have ever been found. Many towns, cities, and routes are blocked off by the AOS barbed wire that use to be apart of Sophrosune as a whole. Whatever is not controlled by AOS is dubbed Marauder territory.

Well that's lovely.

Well, anyway, you're stuck here in Nutteini Town. The group of you discovers that there is a Pokemon professor in the town! Maybe they know something about how to get off of this wretched region despite everything. The professor, the jittery Pr. Marili, says that there is a rumor that the Champion of the Pokemon League has special privileges to leave and participate in activities in outside regions.

Pr. Marili, seeing as most of you are eager, sets you up with a choice of Pokemon eggs, which she has had for a while and can't hatch them all herself. She's weirdly given each one a name….

Spoiler:

Jester Egg:

The egg has a bright and shiny yellow color that feels as though if you touch it, it will bounce back like it's a balloon. There are purple triangles coating it everywhere in a slapdash fashion. It's light, and its warmth gives an almost a cozy feeling.

The Clandestine One:

It's black, to say the least. Its color looks like one took an eyedropper from the midnight sky and poured it all over its rough complexion, which feels like it has miniature quills attached to it. It's fairly heavy, but has good, healthy warmth to it.

Rabbit Ruby:

The egg is a deep crimson red. It gives off this unmistakable aura of joy and mystery, and seems to beckon for deserved attention and care. People who've passed by it have always called it "cute" for some reason. It's as light as a feather and almost unbearably warm.

Cookie Dough:

A rather fitting name, its base is pure white with chocolate-colored polygons scouring its surface. It gives off this air of silence and serenity. It's heavy and rather cold to the touch.

Dirty Max:

It is emerald green with this pattern on it that would make it look like it cracked long ago. The scar is so obvious that it would feel awkward to bring it up. It's about medium weight and has no temperature to its touch.

Mr. Genie:

A shimmering purple color, with a texture that would make one believe its shell was created with sand. It has this air of elegance around it. It's decently heavy and comfortably warm.

Hoodsy:

Its name isn't lying- it looks like a mysterious black face with red dots for eyes wearing a sinister green hood. It feels like its looking into your soul and has eyes everywhere on its shell. It's very light and gives off no warmth, but makes your hands feels clammy.

Kelp's Supper:

It has a turquoise face with green wavy lines stemming from its top down to its just above it bottom, like seaweed was covering it. It feels as though it's ready to adventure. Its weight is horrifically heavy and it's ice cold to the touch.


Calm Poser:

Its pale white with strange black markings on that sort of seems like music notes. It has this air of unpredictability and condescendence about it. It's a little heavier than normal, and the warmth to it feels like it's trying too hard to be the perfect temperature.


Wick Wire:

It has this odd zany red-and-yellow pattern on it that looks like eccentric battling lighting bolts. It has this energetic and zany air about it. It's as light as air, and has no warmth to it.

But all of Pr. Mirili's… odd names aside, which one appeals to you more for your journey to be Champion and get out of here?

Or, do you want to leave? This is a brand new region with untold mysteries! Maybe you want to explore those instead? Seems like fun, and you never know what you could stumble on.

Perhaps you agree with the AOS…. Maybe you can save the world's relationship with Sophrosune and finally bring peace to this region and redeem its past!

Or, maybe, the Marauder life is for you. Maybe you like taking things to aid with your Pokemon training and think about it, if they take over the region, just imagine the possibilities once they do for you future. Livin' the good life! Where do I sign up?

Whatever your goal is, there's one thing you all can agree on. This was sure not what you thought your first journey as a trainer would be like.

By the way, what backpack did you pick up? It contains what you are able to start of with, and you're certainly going to need it. Was it the…

Spoiler:

Red Backpack Taken by Sefredo.

Orange Backpack Taken by James.

Yellow Backpack Taken by Taylor.

Green Backpack Taken by Ray-Ray.

Blue Backpack Taken by Gale.

Indigo Backpack Taken by Ciel.

Violet Backpack Taken by Lynette.

Brown Backpack Taken by Dom.

Black Backpack Taken by Hiro.

White Backpack Taken by Claude.

Now unlike other RP's, there is a special system that goes along with your character.

It is called the Luck System.

Spoiler:

In addition to your items and Pokemon, things that occur during your journey will cause you to gain and spend Luck Points.

There are a variety of ways that you can gain luck points. The easiest way to get them is to have fantastic posts.

+ 0 pts
Post was mediocre. Length, grammar, creativity…. One or more things were extremely lacking.

+ 1 pt
Post was at least enjoyable to read. It lacked a certain something.

+ 2 pts
Post was overall decent. Nothing bad, just…. nothing good either.

+ 3 pts
Good post! There was a charm to it, but you could definitely do better.

+ 4 pts
Great post! One or two little things prevented it from becoming absolutely amazing.

+5 pts
Awesome. Descriptive, creative, just pure amazing. You deserve this.

You gain them throughout the story, too.

+ 7 pts
Defeated Gym Leader!

+ 5 pts
Defeated AOS officer or Marauder!

+ 3 pts
Defeated other RPer or NPC trainer!

Always be creative- many things can gain you Luck points, you just have to find them. If you do something kind or useful (for yourself or otherwise), you might just find you get luck points for doing that. Like, take for instance this freebie luck point getter:

+ 3 pts (+Extra pts depending on how much the tip was)
Paid full price for an item or group of items and tipped the seller at least 100 yen.

+ 1 pt
Paid full price for an item or group of items.

Get imaginative!

But, of course, I discourage keeping all your points like a hoarder. As such, you can only hold up to 50 pts at a time. Also, with gaining, there of course comes the spending.

If you got some luck points to burn, please, don't hesitate to spend them for one of these special "things!" If you spend your points on a "thing," in addition to your mission, an event will occur that is beneficial to your character in the RP. It can range from finding 100 yen on the ground to having a special bred-move Pokemon egg just given to you! The more you spend buying a "thing," the greater the "thing" will be. The scale is (Nice, Good, Great, Fantastic, Awesome, and Ultimate).

- 1 pt
Nice thing

- 2 pts
50/50 shot at Nice thing or Good thing

- 3 pts
Good thing

- 4 pts
50/50 shot at Good thing or Great thing.

- 5 pts
Great thing

- 6 pts
50/50 shot at Great thing or Fantastic thing

- 7 pts
Fantastic Thing

- 8 pts
50/50 shot at Fantastic thing or Awesome thing

- 9 pts
Awesome thing

- 10 pts
50/50 shot at Awesome thing or Ultimate thing

To purchase your "thing" from me, simply just place the request on the bottom of your last post for that mission like so:

"….and Jane decided top take the left road, even though she thought the sinister trees were disgusting to look at and appeared to want to claw her eyes out."

For the next mission, I would like to buy a 50/50 shot at Good thing or Great thing for 4 pts, please. :3"

Easy as that. It's always a good time to spend points, whether you need another golden throne or just need a pick-me-up to brighten your days as a pauper.

Now, now, now, now- don't even think that's the only thing you'll be spending points on. During the course of the story you'll be using your luck points for other things, too. The easiest way to lose points is to catch a Pokemon.

- 1 pt
Caught common Pokemon!

- 3 pts
Caught infrequent Pokemon!

- 5 pts
Caught rare Pokemon!

And, if you're ever so lucky to find a legendary, well,

- 10 pts
Caught legendary Pokemon!

There are also things I will pick out during the story that would decrease your luck. Don't be hasty to join or with posts now, I usually take off very small amounts of luck points for things your character does, if any. This is simply a balance maneuver so you're not gaining too many points a round. For example, you remember that barb-wire fence that clears AOS-controlled areas? Well, if you want to jump back in without getting caught:

- 2 pts
Jumped the fence without getting caught.

Now, don't feel all discouraged that you're not going to be able to save Luck Points since you're losing them as fast as you're gaining them. And don't fret about "OMG IS THIS LINE GONNA MAKE MY LUCK GO UP OR DOWN?!"

Really, don't. That would make me sad.
This is all the primer so you know what I mean when I give the mission comments. Here's an example of what will happen after your mission post:

@BladyDeDeBlaMan – Lovely post! I can't believe you got that creative with your personal mission! Dude, keep up the good work, seriously.

Your Luck Points increased + 7 points.

Spoiler:

+ 5 pts
For having amazing post.

+ 3 pts
For paying full and tipping that waitress at the Diner 100 yen.

- 1 pt
Caught the common wild Starly!

So that's pretty much it. If you don't have luck points, you've, well, run out of luck. Then you get Unlucky Debt if you take Luck-Spending actions.

Let's for instance, you have zero luck points in the mission where you decided to jump the fence. You'll still get out scot-free; however, you'll have 3 pts in Unlucky Debt. Fate is displeased with your careless spending and intends for you to pay the price with some misfortunate events. Thankfully, you can only have up to 20 pts in Unlucky Debt. Hopefully you guys will never end up here.

Remember those "things?" You know, what you spend to have good things happen to you? Well, well, there are flip sides to everything. These will automatically happen to you in addition to your next mission. They unfortunately can range from losing some contents of your backpack to losing one of your Pokemon to a sickness or to a river. The scale this time is (Unpleasant, Mean, Nasty, Horrible, Dreadful, and Destructive)

Negative 1-3 pts
Unpleasant thing

Negative 4-6 pts
Mean thing

Negative 7-9 pts
Nasty thing

Negative 10-12 pts
Horrible thing

Negative 13-16 pts
Dreadful thing

Negative 17-20 pts
Destructive thing

Now, there is one last thing to note. You can buy, regardless of your points, a nice-ultimate "thing." Even if your points are in the negative. So yes, that means you can potentially have an ultimate thing when you're 20 pts in Unlucky Debt, however, the constant backlash would probably kill you. Seriously. If you get a bred-move egg because you got an ultimate thing and you are hit by a destructive thing at the same time, your side-mission for your "things" can mix together where your egg falls and breaks to its death, causing you to pointlessly write about how your future ace in the hole smashed on the pavement before it even had the chance to think about hatching.

Don't temp fate. You should only buy things when you're in the red if you're desperate.

And don't think you can leave this RP without getting a "thing!" Each round, one random person, regardless of their points, gets granted a "thing" of random degree that minuses from their points. If that person already bought something, the random "thing" adds on to their count. Example:

Miss. Savannah wanted to buy a nice thing for 1 pt in her next mission. The random "thing" landed on her, and it was of 4 pts value towards a 50/50 shot at good or great thing. The points add up and go towards her final point costing to 5 pts for a great thing. Don't worry though, you can't spend more then the regular 10 pts "thing." Even if you bought something for 7 pts and the random is 5 pts and lands on you, you only have to spend the maximum 10 pts.

And don't worry about having your marauder character being luck-dry because they're not doing good things like tipping waitresses. No matter if you're a saint or stabbing people in the throat because you want to try on their shoes, luck point distribution is not biased to people with morality. There are plenty or ways to can get bonus luck points for being a raiding lunatic.

In short, fate is weird and you'll be constantly pressing your luck. As they say, you'll need all the luck you can get!

….Seriously, it's like the universe's currency. Do it.

Now the Pokemon system. It differs from the usual RP's, too.

Welcome to a Pokemon universe where they are twenty types. Yep! Each individual type has five defenses and weaknesses, and all the Pokemon you've come to know and love will have different typing. There are also new moves they can learn, making even Pokemon you've raised before in other RPs or actual games a new and exciting experience.

Key: The type on the left are defending, which mean the top are attack types from opposing. Blue is Not very Effective and red is Super Effective. (Take for instance, if you travel the horizontal line for Colorless, you'll find out that Beast type attacks are good against it.)

Here are the matchups:

Confused to what the types mean?

Spoiler:

Colorless is like normal type.

Temperature is like fire type, but can pertain to anything that deals with rise or lowering of temperature.

Fluid is like water type, but it pertains to any Pokémon dealing with any type of fluids. Like Grimer.

Plant is like grass type.

Ground is like ground type.

Wind is like flying type, but it pertains to anything that can control air.

Light is psychic type, but it includes to the ability to control light rays, etc.

Aether is a new type, pertaining to the mystical abilities of space matter.

Dark is like the ghost and dark types.

Mineral is like the rock type, but slightly different.

Ersatz is a new type, dealing with artificial abilities of the Pokemon.

Beast is like fighting type, but it is much more broad and pertains to a lot of bestial creatures.

Snow is like ice type.

Magic is a new type, dealing with having abilities of mystical power.

Electric is like electric type.

Insect is like bug type.

Venom is like poison type.

Haze is a new type, pertaining to the ability to create fog, expel misty or smoky attacks, etc.

Noise is a new type, dealing with the ability to expel loud of soft sounds or control sound as a whole.

Fable is like dragon type, however, much more broad and deals with Pokemon who have powers of old ages passed on to them that they can tap into.

???? is a new, mysterious type spreading around genes of all pokemon. Any Pokemon can apparently be tacked on with this type, but it is rare. New attacks having this type are also popping up, even if the Pokemon itself is not ????-typed.

And also, we have stats. Because we're actually using the damage formula, people! if you want, this is all the technical stuff:

Spoiler:

And evasion formula is in action, too.

Having fun yet?
Don't worry, this is just like the games, and I'll just tell you what damage it did.

Experience is organized differently though. Each Pokemon gives out a pre-determined amount of experience points when you defeat it, and I'll be keeping markers, so I'll tell you when your Pokemon has leveled up. Don't worry, you won't be level grinding unless you want to train a Lv. 15 Charmander with Lv. 1 Bidoofs.

We'll be using the whole enchilada, IVs, EVs, etc. IVs will be chosen by a random number generator. And like the sneaky Nintendo company, the IVs will be hidden from you and only be known to me, so you don't discriminate your Pokemon. EVs depend on what Pokemon you battle. Remember though, you're in an unknown region without any map, so EV training will be a bit hard to do when you have no idea what the Pokemon you'll be facing. This is realistic.

Level

When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever lose points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

Nature

Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

Leveling formula:

Thanks Bulbapedia for all the formulas!

When dealing with speed, we're taking it simple and whichever Pokemon has the highest speed gets to go first.

Another simple thing we're doing, is that every Pokemon at level one will have 2 in every stat. Don't worry though, once you level everything will run smoothly.

When you engage in a NPC character or wild Pokémon in battle, be prepared to fight me. Your post will end right where you're about to engage in battle, and we will VM battle, with me telling how much damage is being dealt. For example, let's say you want to engage in a wild Patrat in battle. All stats of the opposing Pokemon will be given to you, don't worry. This would be the VM conversation:

(Note: Growlithe is at Lv. 10, and with a Mild nature and the Patrat is Lv. 7 with Bold nature. You have no idea what IVs each Pokemon has.)

"Wild Patrat would like to battle!"

"I send out Growly, my Growlithe, and start off with an ember attack!"

"It lands on the wild Patrat hard, causing 61 damage, losing all of its 17 hp. It drops to the ground! Growlithe gained experience.

"Capture Patrat?"

"Yes, I'd like to use one of my great balls."

"After a couple shakes, the Patrat eventually is sealed. Congrats! Name it as you wish."

And then just take the battle log and spruce it up! Example of the battle log we just did:

"Jane stared down the Patrat intensely. She immediately grabbed Growly's Pokéball and flung it towards the ground, sputtering the red, gleaming light as her trusted dog Pokemon barked with enthusiasm.

"Grow!" It said as it wagged its tail and gave a big grin. Jane smiled and pushed her goggles more into her face. There seemed to be a gleam radiating off of them.

The Patrat suddenly charged at not Growly, but Jane herself. Its speed was ridiculous. You could barely see its feet as it raced to do who knows what to Jane. But as quick as Patrat's feet were going, Jane spit out a call to her Growlithe.

"Growly, quick, use Ember!"

The Growlithe, without the slightest inkling of hesitation, barked and let out a small fire from its mouth to chase down the overgrown rodent. Right before it was able to claw Jane, the Patrat in question was blindsided by the intense flame, letting out a cry of pain as it smacked to the ground, unconscious.

"Wow," Jane said as she stood over the Pokemon. "He didn't last long." She couldn't help but notice its potential from its speed. "Maybe we can fix that," she said as she looked over at her Growly, who was blissfully unaware of what she was saying.

Jane picked out the shiniest great ball she could manage out of her bag and dropped it almost carelessly onto the Patrat. It sucked up the Pokemon and started its trademark shaking. Jane watched impatiently as it made its final shake and gave out a "ding!"

Jane picked it up and examined the surface of the Pokéball. "Hm. Speedy seems fitting, no?" She placed her new companion on her belt and walked with Growly into the tall grass once more."

You get the picture.

tl;dr
So basically, the leveling up and stats systems from the game are still intact, and when you're battling an NPC or wild Pokemon, you and me will battle. Wild Pokemon do not have EVs, but trainers will have some tacked on. Depending on the type of trainer, more or less EVs will be spread.

If it's against another RPer, Each person will VM me the Pokemon they're sending out first. Whoever has the higher speed, I will VM them to call an attack. Once the VM me back their attack, I will VM the opposing person with the attack and the amount of damage that it will cause if they don't dodge it. Then the person gives their response to the attack (whether they dodged it or not) and the attack they call out. And then I VM the other person with what happened, and the damage total.

NOTE THAT YOU CAN NOT DODGE TWICE IN A ROW. ONCE YOU CHOOSE TO DODGE, YOU ARE UNABLE TO DODGE AGAIN FOR TWO TURNS.

This prevents dodge godmodding. Once one side has fallen, I will PM the winner the full battle log and they make a post about it, sprucing it up. After their post is up, the loser will continue with their mission post-battle once the battle post is put up by the winning member. Like how they're feeling, how they potion'd all their Pokemon up or ran back to town, etc. etc.

NOW ONTO THE GYMS.

There are twenty gyms scattered around Sophrosune, one for each type except ????. Remember, you have no idea what this region looks like and you'll never get a map so you don't know where they are. Because the AOS has only ten gyms in its territory, you'll only need to beat ten gyms to be able to go in to the Pokemon league. They can be any combination of the twenty, since the badge reader was wired to accept all of them. When you face a gym, the gym leader will take note of your badges obtained so far and change their pokemon accordingly to provide a challenge. Beat all twenty, and you (besides be noted for showing off and being overqualified for the Pokemon League) will be provided with a little somethin' somethin'. Not telling what though, it's a suprise!

[The gym leader's sillouettes will be provided here once I'm done, and once any RPer reveals them, their full battle sprite will show. If you guys manage to find all twenty, you each will get a great thing granted to you for free! No luck points required!]

Don't think they're all gonna be right there in their gym waiting for you. They're human, and they can travel around. You might just bump into one!

AND NOW FINALLY HERE ARE THE RULES AND SU's.


Rules:

Spoiler:

1. I am the Game Master (GM). That means whatever I say goes. Distribution of Luck Points, what situations you find yourself in according to your mission, who gets the random "thing," that round, what Pokémon is on what route, everything is my decision. No exceptions. If you feel that you've been screwed on Luck Points unfairly, then PM me about your problem in a civil, calm, and nice manner, and we will have a conversation to settle the dispute. This does not mean you can weasel more Luck Points out of me each round. Do not abuse this ability because if you do, you can no longer dispute any luck distribution and deal with the cards you're dealt. Don't be greedy. Also, I treat everyone equally, so don't pull the "picking on me" card.

2. There will be no bunnying, which means taking full control of someone else's character without their permission. If you feel that your character has been bunnied, PM me with the post url. I will check it over and see if this is a true-blue offence. If it is, that bunnying user will have 1 pt against them towards being kicked.

3. There will be no godmodding, which means acting like you're the game master and creating important details in your post without my permission. If you want to add something that would completely change the course of your story, please PM about it first for good measure. Since I want you to be creative, I'm usually gonna be very laid-back with this and unless it does something that changes what I have in mind for this RP. Also, your character is not perfect. They can be the very best if the work towards it, not because you just say that your level 2 Bagon beats the champion's level 100 Charizard. Besides, I've enacted a lot of stuff to prevent this, so you're actually gonna have to try to godmod.

4. All usual RP Corner rules apply, of course.

5. No magically appearing anything. I will also be taking tally of your Pokemon, their moves, stats, your bag items, etc. If you have no Pokeballs, you cannot snatch that Abra by pulling out your surprise great ball your grandpa gave you when you were five and kept in your pocket that you've never mentioned until this point. If you are dead broke and you do find a Pokémon you'd like, well.... you could write something creative to get it. Like shoving it in your backpack after you beat it unconscious But don't think it's going to not cost you a good amount of luck points.

6. Inactivity is bad for this RP. If you think you will be gone for more then a week, please PM me your situation and I'll give you a break. If you think your absence will be longer then two weeks, well, sorry, but you'll be kicked from the RP. You'll also be kicked from the RP if you are missions behind. I will advance missions once at least 3/4 of the group is done with the current one. If you miss two, you're out. Example:

Everyone is done with Chapter Two.

Everyone but Dawn is done with Chapter Three.

Everyone but Dawn and Brendan are down with Chapter Four.

Sorry Dawn, but you are kicked from the RP.

7. Be creative, be creative, be creative, be creative, be creative, be creative, be creative....

8. If you are caught breaking the rules, you will get what I like to call a "point against you." Bunnying, Godmodding, etc. will get you 1 pt against you. Three points and you're kicked from the game.

SU:

Spoiler:

Name: (Make sure you can spell it, too)

Age: (You're a college student, so, 18-22 range or so)

Gender: (Male? Female? Intersex? Transgender? Hm?!)

Appearance: (Well you gotta look like something. 2 paras min.)

History: (Was it tragic, awesome, or somewhere in between? 2 paras min.)

Personality: (Lemme get inside your brain here. 2 paras min.)

Egg: (Note what you pick and how your character interacts with it determines the species.)

Backpack: (Choose wisely.... it contains all your starting equipment and starting luck points.)

RP Sample: (I want some good, creative RP'ers for this. Show me something that will kick me off my feet.)

I'm accepting ten players to start.
ALL SPOTS FILLED AND THE RP HAS BEGUN!

Wick Wire - James Langden as played by Arcaray!

Spoiler:

Reserved means that egg is being saved for someone, please pick another.

Accepted means that the RP'er who wanted this egg made a great SU and is now officially participating. Good job and good luck!

Pending means that a person gave their SU, but it was just a little below standard. Fix it immediately following my criticism and try again. During this state, the egg they want is up for grabs and if I accept a person who wanted the same egg and the pending person hasn't given in their revised SU, that pending person has to pick a different egg. Sorry.

Denied means there were many flaws with your SU. Follow my criticism and fix them all. The difference between pending and denied is that at least Pending will be noted, and hopefully people will respect and not choose your egg. Denied is also the case when a Pending person again gives an unsatisfactory SU.

[Neiko Star]

Can I reserve the Jester Egg? I don't have an RP sample right now, unfortunately...

 

[Ethan Gold]

Can I reserve Dirty Max please? I will write about my character tonight.

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

@Neiko Star- Reserved!

Well I'm looking for anything from past RP's, but, you can create a sample for me to read. And here, if you can't think of anything:

The character is Jane. She is a fiesty and reckless girl that is now trapped in a forest all alone at night. She only has her Zigzagoon, Mailow. She encounters a dazed Spinda, and seeing it as a threat, battles it and it faints. Jane quickly starts running to the next town.

Make a sample and create your actual character. :3

@Ethan Gold - Reserved!

Looking forward to it!

@Everyone -

Just updated the type chart. Every type has five strengths and five weaknesses, and as an attack, has five strengths and weaknesses.

Can anyone say balanced?

Can't wait for more RP'ers! Remember guys, get those SU's up ASAP!

 

[XxSweetDreamsxX]

Speaking of reserved stuff, you've been Reserved! for this RP, too.

 

[CyBeastSaber]

Cy's Attempt at a SU
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Name: "Let's see..." *picks up ID card and starts reading* "Galios Regalium S. Astrium... Urgh I hate that long name. Just call me Gale."

Age: "I'm 20... Got a problem? No? Well, excuse me."

Gender: "Huh? I'm a man... Last I checked."

Appearance: (Well you gotta look like something. 2 paras min.) {"If I go over 2 paragraphs... It'd be too awesome so I'll just do two."} :D
"Okay... Well I got my golden blonde hair and azure blue eyes from my mother so pretty much I have her looks. My hair is shortly layer on the back and my bangs falls short above my eyes... Care to check? Moving on, I have a healthy light brown tan from my outdoor activities and my body... is something I hate to describe. It's pretty average in that I have small but toned muscles for my upper and lower body and I am not overly fat or anything, but I can say I'm getting a bit pudgy on my upper arms. I have a few scars around my body but I won't say because well... they are from important events in my life... like this big one across my lower left side. I stand at about 5 feet and 7 inches tall and weigh about 170 pounds. Somehow I feel fat..."

"For clothing, I'm either well dressed or extremely casual. From black slacks, a white long-sleeved shirt and brown loafers to my casual light blue T-shirt with an occasional grey vest, blue jeans with a brown belt, and black running shoes with ankle high white socks, I am currently wearing the latter during my trip. I also started wearing some finger-less blue gloves for reasons even I don't know, along with various other accessories. I wear a dual ruby and sapphire pendant belonging to my mother which I received from her many years ago, and my father had given me one of his beloved silver-plated pocket watches that I keep within my right pocket, and it's silver chain is clipped to one of the closer belt loops to my right pocket."

History: {Random voice talking in omnipotent mode}
Galios Regalium S. Astrium... He was-
"Hey hey! I can talk about myself just fine, thank you, you random voice!" *voice is sad and runs off crying* "Now where were we... Oh yeah. Well, I was born in Celadon City, that's in Kanto. My parents weren't too rich or anything but they were hard workers and gave me the best that they could. I wonder how they are doing... but anyways, I grew up in Celadon City."

"As a kid, I was pretty active. I like to run around town but not too far as to worry my parents, and I'm usually with my friends. We were a troublesome bunch but otherwise good kids who everyone found to be bright and healthy, or so they say. I tried not to cause too much problems for my parents because they still worked themselves to the bone and all and so I kept a good image to show my respect for them. Most of the time that I am at home, I would be alone but thinking about it like that would be depressing, so I would do chores around the house to kill time until my parents got home. They were pretty surprised their little boy was cleaning the house but I would shrug and say I was bored or something. Regardless, the smiling faces of my parents were good enough for me and I wanted to help them in my future."

"And so the years went by, I wasn't as chaotic as in my childhood years, I mean compared to now I'm sure I'm not as chaotic. School was fun in it's unique ways and taught me a lot. Middle school was full of hormones-raging couples, nerds, and otakus, which I am a mix of the latter two sadly to say. High School wasn't much different except the level of display was a bit more apparent with couples and nerds will be nerds as are the otakus. I started playing a little soccer then but I wasn't too devoted to it as I was to my studies. I made a lot of friends during high school and tried to have the most fun I could. I learned a lot about Pokemon as well but I never really thought of a time to actually become a trainer yet. Things went by pretty fast. I graduated at the top 10 of my class, with me being number 10, hehe, and I had just applied to a college in Johto. Things went smooth for that year and I'm starting my second with a trip abroad from Johto to Unova! Man was I excited... to say the least before the ship sank..."

Personality: (Lemme get inside your brain here. 2 paras min.) {"HAAA? NO PROBING ME!"}
"Let's see... With my friends, I would compete with them to see who was better at stuff and I hate to lose, although I have lost quite a bit of times. Regardless of the competitiveness, I think friends are your second family and so I take care of them when they need it, and they feel the same about me... or at least I think they do, but as long as I am able to help them, I'm happy. It's hard for me to get angry at things because I try to stay positive, but if I ever get angry, I try to get angry for 5 seconds and then just let it go. Staying angry for long periods of time is bad for your health so I advise you not to. I have a knack for pursuing knowledge so I can end up reading books in long silences where you'd probably have to do something to scare me out of it unless I stop for a brief period of time, like say... going to the bathroom, etc. But yeah, I'm a bookworm as of lately."

"Because I used to be alone a lot around the house, I am quite good with things related to doing household chores like cleaning, sewing and the such... blame my mom for the latter! I had nothing to do with it!" *sweatdrops* "I'm pretty friendly if you talk to me and you might find me running my mouth off on random topics at times so try to tell me to stop if I do. Across from that, I can also be a tentative listener because I find stories fascinating and enjoyable as well as possibly learning from other people's experiences too. A story is only as good as the person telling it... I think." *facepalms* "I also have a tea problem and that I usually drink tea in the afternoons under a tree or at least I wish I could but not for anytime soon... Accursed ship sinking with my tea packets..."

Egg: "My egg? Oh... You mean that salty smelling Kelp's Supper!" (Auuu~ I want some... T0T)

Backpack: *facepalms* "Ugh... Of all the... I can't remember... was it... this one?" *picks up the Blue Backpack* (Searn makes a simple debate and I agree thus changing it from Indigo to Blue even if they are similar.)

RP Sample: (I want some good, creative RP'ers for this. Show me something that will kick me off my feet.) {Kick you off your feet? I'll blow you away like a GALE! Muwahahaha... ... ... Okay, not funny. Creative huh.... I dunno... I'm not very creative if you ask me but I can get a bit detailed at times. : O}
Scenario: (given by Kiyoshi himself)
[Gale is on the beach of a random town to which he doesn't know that name of. He decides to see if any Fluid-types are in the water. He spots a Magikarp, which looks harmless until it jumps up and smacks back fin hard against Gale's face, causing him to fall down. finish it by telling how Gale manages to render it unconcious. Don't mention any other Pokemon you might have, but you can mention Kelp's Supper.]

--------------------------------------------------------------​

With a strong fin slap to his face, Gale had toppled over and hit the sandy surface of the beach with the small waves rushing up to engulf his body as much as they could before receding back to the ocean. Partially wet and with his face stinging quite a bit, Gale gripped his face with his left hand and slowly picked himself up. As he looked through his fingers at the undaunting foe that was a Magikarp, Gale was determined to subdue his foe. The Magikarp was just floating in the shallow water as if nothing had happened, and Gale thought to try it once more to get closer to it, but with more caution now that he had found out that the Magikarp would attack anyone, or maybe just him, that invaded into it's space. Pulling his soaked black shoes and white socks off and placing it next to his egg and other accessories away from the water, Gale rolled up the ends of his pants into a cuff just below his knee, and slowly approached the Magikarp, stepping slowly into the water. With each of his cautious steps he made, the slight noise echoed to the Magikarp and though it heard Gale coming, it had chosen not to move yet. Brimming with confidence, Gale jumped as quickly as he could to grab the Magikarp, and with retaliation, the Magikarp jumped and quickly returned to him yet, another strong tail fin slap to his face knocking him backwards once again before it entered back into the water with a small plopping noise. His first encounter with the pokemon called the weakest of all was quite an amusement if anyone should ever see. Still clutching his face which was in even greater pain than before, Gale laughed to himself.

"Among Magikarp, this one is quite devious and powerful too." Gale muttered to himself. "I think I might need something to help me." With that said, Gale probed the beachfront to see if there were anything he could use as a weapon. Little to say, there was almost nothing save for a few shells, the golden dirt, and something brown protruding from it's grounds. The brown object had caught Gale's attention and he made a run over to it. Gale inspected the item which looked like a tree branch and a rather thick one. Wrapping his hands around the protruding piece, he gripped and pulled with all his might to unearth the branch and surely enough, he had done it, however, he used too much strength and sent himself into a tumble backwards as the branch had flown out of his hands. A chuckle escaped from him as he laid sprawled upon the golden sand.

"With this, maybe I can make something happen." Gale chuckled again before he pushed himself off the ground with his hands and knees and walked over to pick up his weapon. With the stick that was about a forearm and a half's length in hand, he made his way back to the Magikarp with hopes it had not fled. Thankfully for him, the Magikarp was still there swimming peacefully one would think. Gale placed the stick in his right hand and turned his body to the right slightly as to shield the Magikarp's view from his weapon. Once more, Gale approached the Magikarp feeling even more confident than the last. Gale feinted a jump at the Magikarp but stopped and the Magikarp again, jumped at him. Gale was able to time and dodge it this time before swinging his tree branch at the Magikarp. A loud "twack" could be heard as the tree branch connected with the Magikarp and sent it flying towards the beach. With a few flops, the Magikarp became still and fell unconscious. For a moment there, Gale thought he had saw a faint image of a bar that was full run to empty above Magikarp.

"Oh yeah! Super effective Critical Hit!" Gale shouted as a joke and sighed a sigh of relief as he wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm and walked over to the Magikarp. Gale dropped the tree branch beside him before falling to the sand on his behind and with his hands behind supporting him up, he sat cross-legged by the pokemon he had fought. A small laugh escaped from Gale as looked at Magikarp and then back to the ocean.

"For a Magikarp... you have one mean Tail Whip... you know that?" Gale said to the fainted Magikarp and smiled before he had to carefully roll around to himself his abnormally heavy Kelp's Supper egg, as it was called by the odd Professor Mirili, and placed it in between his legs. With his right hand, Gale softly rubbed the cold surface of it's shell.

"Now, I wonder what YOU are hiding..." Gale whispered to the egg and patted it.

-------------------------------------------------------------​

EDIT:
I haven't RPed in a long time so.... Can I go slap on a Sample RP I did in the past? I'm sure I can still manage now. But I guess I will write a Sample... Just for you. :P
EDITTED: Alrighty I'm done. Take a look at it. I did some minor changes to age and stuff and not the best but hey, that was what's sitting in my head at the moment. Hehehehe... And YES I know Magikarp doesn't learn Tail Whip or anything. xDDD

 

[Searn]

Name: Lynette Geoux DePouilles

Gender: Female

Age: 18

History: "DePouilles" is a name known all around Kanto for the modern empire that has erected during the 20th century. Lynette's father's story is a true "rags to riches" story, beginning in the humble town of Vermillion City. His father owned a small shipping company that used its port to transfer homemade goods throughout each region. After his father's death, DePouilles II took over the industry and made some small investments in a fast food restaurant that exploded across Johto within a few months. Soon, after moving closer to work, he met the woman he would later marry: Clarisse.

Clarisse was a humble, beautiful woman who passed her looks to her daughter. She took off unexpectedly one night, realizing how much the man, who seemed to have changed after a few paychecks, had used her. She left the child and the estate behind in hopes of her nightmare finally ending. Lynette had grown to be a "daddy's girl" anyway, so had the most expensive lawyer not stomped out her chances of taking the child, the girl's wishes surely would have snuffed out all hope.

Lynette's father has always hated how pokémon have been used. However, he felt he needed protection from prominent gangs, so he purchased a Salamence to ensure his safety. Irony reigned when the Salamence felt neglected and decimated its master, escaping his tyranny when Lynette was only 15. Her father never influenced her view of pokémon, however. There were many days her successful father abandoned her for important meetings. Lackadaisical strolls through their private garden were often a part of Lynette's daily routine. She encountered many pokémon through these walks, filling a void in her heart. All she wishes for now is the absolute best for these mysterious animals.

Appearance: Lynette stands at about 5' 6" and weighs only 105 lbs. She would normally have long, flowing hair that would fall to her mid back section. Without ribbons, it falls to her thighs, forcing her to cut her jet-black mane short after the shipwreck. Now, it has the "current, messy look" that she had seen in magazines. Half of her face is covered by the new hairdo, concealing one of her gray eyes that has dulled since her happiness left, half of a mouth that never sees a smile, and a scar on her left cheek. Her eyes are gray at first look, but actually just a blue with no hint of a sparkle.

Luckily, she decided to wear designer casual clothing that consisted of raggy jeans, some black tennis shoes, a hat, and a ripped shirt with no sleeves over a graphic tee, great traveling clothes. Everything she wore had some dark and light shades of purple which is why she chose the violet backpack and egg.

Personality: Lynette has always been quick to speak against people she deemed unworthy. Anyone "below" her saw her arrogant, upfront attitude. This quality is a double-edged sword, though. Her upfront, blunt honesty shows everyone the worst of a friend she'll be; if people can last through that, they'll surely be a close friend to her.

She truly is a kindhearted woman at heart, too. She never means to hurt anyone and feels it is absolutely necessary to tell people what they should know. Her inexperience at socializing may reward her with awkward speech, sometimes, and a frank speech, but all of the friends she has made stay close to her. Since her father's death, though, she has increased her cold attitude towards people, seeming as though she now looks for imperfections in people. She has become lonely, secretly striving to have some sort of friend.

Egg: Mr. Genie (It matches the backpack)

Backpack: Violet (Why not match if you are stranded?)

 

[King!]

omg kiyoshi this is amazing~ <3

Can I reserve the Calm Poser egg, please? I'm going to have to go back and re-read everything, there's so much info. xD

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

Searn, I looked at your Silph Co. Chronicles posts and am using that as your RP sample. And with her great character Lynette, she is now officially the first person to be Accepted.

Also, got a VM from XxSweetDreamsxX for reserving the Clandestine One, so that egg if now Reserved!

And thank you King!. X3
You know what, how about you be Reserved!

 

[Fearless Love]

Hey there! Oooh! Awesome looking RP.

Can I reserve the Cookie Dough Egg? Please :)

I really wanna join this RP!! :)

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

@CyBeastSaber - Well, I have to say you sure have one quirky character! Your RP sample is very much up to standard, too.

You know what that means?
Mr. Galios "Gale" Regalium S. Astrium is now the second person to be Accepted.

Violet and Blue Backpacks are gone!

@Fearless Love - R-R-R-R-Reserved!

----

Now I just recieved a VM saying that there is a lot of confusion to the Luck System and Battle System.

Here is the Luck System as simple as I can put it:

It's a new, special system that is attached to your character. During your journey, there is stuff that will make you gain more Luck Points and spend Luck Points.

You'll get Luck Points by having good posts, and I'll award you more extra depending on what you do in the post, like tipping a shopkeep and paying full price for an item.

You'll automatically spend some Luck Points when you do stuff that presses it. Meaning, Haggling, Catching a Pokemon, Jumping the AOS barb-wire fence, etc.

You can have up to 50 Luck Points. After that, you can't gain any more.

You can buy a "thing" to happen to your character, and the more you spend, the better the "thing." It's beneficial for you to buy "things."

You can always buy a thing, even if you're in debt.

More specificially, a "thing" is a beneficial event that will happen to your character.

The debt here is called Unlucky Debt. You can have up to 20 points of it.
This happens when you're low on Luck Points and you're still spending.

There are bad "things" that will automatically trigger if you're in debt. The more debt you have, the worse fate will treat you.

Also, during each mission, one of you will automatically be given a random beneficial "thing" at the cost of your Luck Points, no matter low large or little they may be. It has varying intensity.

And the Battle System?
I take care of all the math myself, so don't worry about it.
All you should care about is training your Pokemon.

If you want to battle another RP'er because you run into them, both of you will VM what you're going to send out. Whoever has the faster speed stat goes first, and I VM them saying they can make the first move. They VM me their attack. I do some math and VM the opposite person with what attack was called and how much damage it does. It goes like this until one RP'er is out of Pokemon.

You can dodge, but once you do, you can't dodge until two turns later.

Winner is PM'd the full battle log and makes a post about it, while the loser has to wait until its posted and tell their character's story post-battle.

If you battle an NPC, you'll be facing me. Pretty much works the same.

Everyone happy?
Please, if you have any questions, never hesitate to ask! I'm happy to answer them and clear any confusion!

 

[Fearless Love]

Well, I have most of this SU done...except for the RP Sample. Well, I'll get working on that, but for now, here is my SU. If anything is wrong, then tell me, and I shall do my best to fix it!! :) Like if I need to elaborate more on a part of two, please let me know. :)



Name: Rayne "Ray-Ray" Carter

Age: 18

Gender: Female

Appearance: Rayne stands at about 5 foot 6 inches, and her weight puts her more on the skinny side. She has black hair, outlined with light pink streaks. Her hair is generally a few inches past her shoulders when down and brushed, but force of habit would have her put it in one ponytail. Her bangs reach down to just barely below the bottom of her eyes, and she is constantly pushing her bangs out of her face. Her eyes are a sea green color, and are often hidden by her bangs. She has small, brown freckles dotted across her nose and cheeks, and her cheeks are often pinkish in coloring.

For clothing, she will generally wear a shoulder less, red and white stripped shirt, with the sleeves only reaching to her elbows. Above this, she will usually wear a white dress vest, which is usually held together by its two buttons. She will also wear red half gloves along with red wristbands. Another article of clothing she is known for wearing is a red scarf, which she usually refuses to remove from around her neck, for reason she has yet to reveal to anyone. She also wears a black miniskirt and a white belt. For shoes, she is known for wearing black slip-on shoes, but is also often seen in just her white socks.

History: Rayne grew up as the youngest child in her family. She had two older brother, Joshua and Liam, who lived along with her and her mother. Joshua was the closest to Rayne's age, being only a year older than her, while Liam was a little farther from their age, having a five year age gap. Liam acted as the rule enforcer of the family, since their Mother was sick and their Father had left in the early years of Rayne's life. Joshua always acted a bit childish for his age, and he loved to rough-house, which is part of what, later on, gave Rayne her tough side.

Growing up, she lived with the constant teasing of her name. Kids would often sing or say "Rayne, Rayne go away. Come again another day." in mock of their childhood nursery rhyme. This is another contributor to her tough side, as she learned early on that not all people are going to treat her right. As a child, she spent a lot of time at home, and her best friend was her brother, Joshua. Due to the amount of time other kids spent picking on her and teasing her, she often found that she wasn't fond of the company of those around her.

In more current years, she introduces herself as "Ray-Ray Carter", rarely ever mentioning her actual birth name. By now, her Mother is extremely sick, and is being taken care of by Liam, who is currently twenty-three years of age. Another sad fact, is that Joshua inherited the cause of their mother's illness, and is thus also in need of care. Her initial response was to stay home and help Liam with caring for their two sick family members. Though, Liam urged her that it would be good for her to get up and out of the house, and perhaps a little ways a way for a while. She argued with this at first, but eventually enrolled in college, where she became one of the kids traveling to Unova to study abroad.

Personality: Rayne is a tough girl, and she knows how to take care of herself. She believes in living in the moment, and doing things sooner rather than later. She is a hard worker and has no problem offering others help when they are obviously in need of it. She is kind and soft hearted, but most do not truly get to see this side of her through her tough exterior. She likes to make others happy, and often worries about the well being of those around her, and if she senses something is wrong, she will find a way to see both the problem and the solution, offering help in her own way.

She often gets lost in thought, sometimes so much that she will lose track of where she is, and often stumbles and falls. Due to how spaced out she can be, she is often easy to startle, which could lead to slight out lashes at the source of what startled her. She is easily irritated by those of a rash nature, feeling that the best decisions are made once analyzing the situation. At the same time, she knows how to think on her feet, making quick, smart decisions.

Egg: Cookie Dough

Backpack: Green Backpack

 

[Ethan Gold]

Name: Sefredo Settimio

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Appearance: Sefredo is fair skinned. He also has curly black hair and blue eyes that he inherited from his grandfather. He has a majestic looking nose as a family tradition as well.

Sefredo usually wears a black and white linen jacket over a white t-shirt with a picture of "Darth Kaiser", a character he is particularly fond of. He wears black jeans with a fake brand belt and wears a black sneaker. Overall, he tries to keep up with the latest fashion back in his home region.

History: Sefredo's family moved to Johto when he was seven years old so his father can start a business. He vaguely remembers his home region and tries to become patriotic to fill in the void of not remembering his home region well.

He studied at a private school for most of his life until he got the results for his secondary education. Although his grades were good, the school declared his grades subaverage. Enraged by his school, he left after beating a teacher badly. He eventually found a college in Unova and decided to set sail.

Personality: Sefredo at a glance can be seen as a sneaky man who kept things to himself. That was one of the reasons he didn't have much friends. Other reasons for his unpopularity were that he always bragged about his home region and he never stopped flirting until he was beaten. His trait of being hot-headed is something to note.

Although people would think of him negatively most of the time, he does have some redeeming qualities. He is actually kind hearted, loyal and trustworthy but his postive traits are almost always overshadowed. He is also seen as a patriot to his home region.

Egg: Dirty Max

Backpack: Green

RP Sample: He had to be on the wrong plane. He clearly had to be lost. The place didn't look like the luxurious Franchico at all. Jack had a nearly photographic memory of a picture of what the island was supposed to be from a travel leaflet provided but it didn't look close to it at all. Not even a cloud.

There were supposed to be beautiful white sand, regal blue ocean, happy banana sellers, street performing bands and cheerful children in this island. Instead, he was greeted with sand stained with red, the ocean desecrated with wrecks and miscellanious junk, a man sleeping on rotten bananas, a band playing with new instruments called the AK-47 and children screaming for their lives.

The Plusle shuddered in fear as he further observed the horrid sight. His holiday was supposed to be in paradise, not in hell. To add insult to his injury, he would have to stay a week on the forsaken island as a part of his holiday package. He wanted to cry under the comfort of his trainer.

 

[CyBeastSaber]

@CyBeastSaber - Well, I have to say you sure have one quirky character! Your RP sample is very much up to standard, too.

You know what that means?
Mr. Galios "Gale" Regalium S. Astrium is now the second person to be Accepted.

Hahaha.... Quirky is the LEAST of it! Not to mention this is gonna be my first quirky character I've made. XD Well... things are looking to a good start. Dang... I don't get any luck points for that do I? :3
EDIT: Yeah I know. 8D Ah shucks. ^^;

 

[Who's Kiyo?]

@Fearless Love - I'm usuing your posts in The Underdogs as your RP Sample, not to worry. I hereby decree that Fearless Love's character Rayne "Ray-Ray" Carter is now the third memeber to be officially Accepted.

@Ethan Gold - Your SU was kinda bare bones, but it gave enough detail on your character. However, since Fearless' post was first, please pick a different color backpack.

Ethan Gold's Sefredo Settimio is the fourth Accepted. member, regardless.

Good job on the SU's, guys!

@CyBeastSaber - Heh. XD;

Actually, depending on what backpack you took, you'll get 1 to 10 Luck points starting out. Which means one of them contains only 1, another contains 2, etc.

But.... which is which? Just go with your favorite color that's not taken.
