The Honorless [M] - OOC + SU

[IggyKoopa]

Sorry, but I'm gonna have to pull out. Life's been busy lately.

 

[noneofyourbus4]

i've completed my sign up just to let you know :)

 

[Strikit]

That's okay, hope to see you around!

noneofyourbus4, I'm going to call you pending. There are a few basic issues with your SU. It's full of run on sentences, which makes it kinda hard to read. Your History section is short considering your character's age, and in your Sample you state that Jonathan busts into the house "in an unusual state of panic" but not long after that you say that he's easily startled and scared. Also note that you mentioned a base being set up in Lilycove. There's no mention of a base, and considering how quickly the virus spread there was no time to set one up. You'll need to find a different reason for Jonathan to be going to Lilycove. Try polishing it up a bit, fixing basic grammatical errors, and I'll look over it again.

 

[oreo101506]

Name: Aneira Argall but call me Anne

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Appearance: Anne has pure white skin with pink eyes. Her hair flows down the length of her back and is often tied back in a pony tail with a black ribbon. She is five feet and four inches tall. She is thin but stronger than she appears. Her body is sprinkled with scars from fighting and training. She has light makeup on her face: light pink lips, and light pencil around her eyes. Her makeup supply is running out though. Two silver Rayquaza earrings adorn her ears as ear cuffs. Red orbs pierce the lobes of her ears. She wears black denim jeans with combat boots. A pyramid studded belt wraps her waist. A hoodie with ¾ length sleeves covers her red t-shirt that's painted with the words "Carpe Diem!". She also wears a red cap with the same phrase. She wears sunglasses during the day and walks with a parasol to keep the sun off of her sensitive skin. She wears bioptic glasses when she needs to see things from far away.
After the virus spread her appearance hasn't changed much, except for the addition of weapons. She wears thick gloves with brass knuckles. The gloves help to keep her fingers comfortable while hitting opponents. She also has a bowie knife on her side and a crescent spade commonly carried on her shoulders. The weapon is about six feet long. At one end is a high carbon steel crescent shape used to lop off the heads of victims. The other end possesses a spade like shape with decorative rings tinkling near the base of the spade. The weapon is about 10 pounds.

Personality: Anne is a realist in most situations. She won't be pessimistic or necessarily optimistic; she just states the facts. She also noticeably doesn't do things without getting something in return. Her motto is to look out for herself and her Pokemon. The rest can fend for themselves. She can be nice, however, as long as it isn't something that is out of her way or impedes her in any way. She is hard working and functional. She likes to tell riddles and stories in her past time. She also loves to strategize and train with her Pokemon.
Anne is driven by logic so how she handles a conflict depends on the situation. If she finds it pointless she tries to walk away. If it's important she attempts to try smooth talking her way through it. If all else fails she absolutely loves to get violent when necessary. Less people equals more supplies for her. Although she tends to keep a level head it's pretty easy to get her to fight. All one has to do is challenge her and she immediately begins the battle. However, she doesn't play with any rules. If she kills a trainer she feels it is her right to take their Pokemon, or even steal Pokemon.

Anne has handled the end of the world fairly well. She misses her family, but she is actually rather optimistic about the new world compared to most. She thinks of it as the opportunity for a new world rather than the destruction of the world she knew, unlike most. She is often seen writing in her journals about the things she has discovered, creates maps, and absolutely adores writing stories. Whenever she finds time and plethora of clean water or drinkable liquid she sits down with her travel sized hookah and fair supply of shish. She is willing to trade a lot of things for quality wet tobacco, coals, clean drinking fluids, good food, milk chocolate, and cookies. A few things that scare her are poisonous pokemon, bug pokemon, and dittos. Dittos scare her because she doesn't understand how they can transform into anything, and they look like freaky pink globs.

Some things to know about being an albino:
She has some unique problems with her eyes. They are sensitive to bright light, especially from the sides or above her so it is easy to blind her. She can't stand bright lights including the flash of a camera. She can read things up close, however, sometimes she likes to use an optical magnifier just to make it easier. Otherwise the object is pretty much pressed to her face. Despite her vision problems she is able to tell from a fair distance that things are moving even if she can't make out what they are, so she isn't completely blind. Her skin is very sensitive to the sun's rays.

History: Anne grew up in the desert just outside of Mauville City with her mother and father. They both studied the art of breeding Pokemon and her mother was a hardcore trainer. She wasn't able to start her adventure like every other kid as a Pokemon Trainer preteen. She was kept at home because of her condition. She did go to school but was kicked out because she caused too much trouble. What happened was the school didn't accommodate for her condition so she couldn't learn in the classroom. They made mistakes like keeping her next to the irritating and blinding window all day. She also was picked on a lot. She started defending herself and her grades were dramatically lower than the average. Her parents stared homeschooling her from the age of ten. Anne used to pity herself for her condition until her mom inspired her to be a master Pokemon trainer. It didn't mean necessarily going to beat the elite four or hunting for the rarest Pokemon. What it meant was you brought out the best in your Pokemon and in turn they brought out the best in you.

She saved a Gible in the wilds of the desert that had been badly hurt from a battle it had. After healing it the Gible decided to have her as a trainer and she named him Abitt (Ah-bit) because he tended to clumsily bite himself. Abitt and her trained against her mother and her Ninetails, Ikari. Her mother decided to travel with her at the age of thirteen after proving herself in her diligence to train. During her journey she obtained a Noibat that decided Anne was a worthy trainer. When they returned from their journey, about two years later but visiting her father during the trip, she received a Shinx from her father through breeding.

After much convincing she was finally able to travel on her own at the age of sixteen. Every day she trained not only her Pokemon but herself. How can a weak trainer have strong Pokemon? By this time her Gible had evolved into Gabite and was ready to spread its wings. Her Shinx shortly evolved into Luxio after starting her journey. Noibat remained in its first evolution for quite sometime. During the journey her Gabite and Niobat started a rivalry and passionately wanted to out due each other. Age nineteen, coming up on her twentieth birthday, Gabite and Noibat battled each other desperately trying to out-perform each other. Anne battles as both their trainers during the match using strategy rather than brute simple force to match each other. After the battle they both evolved and their bitter rivalry turned into respect for one another, though once in a while they quarrel. Soon after her Luxio evolved into Luxray.
As a career Anne was a professional blogger and liked to do temporary jobs on her journey being a carpenter, Pokemon caretaker, berry picker, and others. It taught her a lot of different skills. However, it could not save her from the outbreak.

She was in Slateport city fishing for a small company. When the virus broke out, and so rapidly, Anne fled using Noivern to fly to her parents place. The barricade was made and they thought they were safe. Then the barricade was broken down, her home was overrun with animated corpses. All that were left was Anne and Ikari. Ikari was about to walk off, leaving them behind, but looked back deciding instead to join Anne in her adventure. Anne was very sad, mourning as her party moved East to Lilycove, a supposed sanctuary. On the way she acquired her moon spade and supplies. Her heart hardened after her parents passing and she became very mistrustful of people both dead and alive. The party flew on the backs of Garchomp and Noivern till they reached Lilycove.

Pokemon: (Complete the following for each Pokemon. Maximum of six. Those with fewer than six will have opportunities to gain new Pokemon through sub-plots.)
-Name: Abitt
-Species: Garchomp
-Gender: Male
-Appearance: Garchomp has a few scars on his scales from when he was found as a Gible. As a Garchomp he wears them proudly as badges. One scare prominently shines on his right cheek.
-Personality: Garchomp is very protective of Anne and tends to stick by her side. Around other Pokemon and people he tends to be very silent. He prefers to use actions to speak for him rather than words. He likes a good laugh, his rival Noivern, and a good fight. He enjoys spicy food. One of his favorite attacks isn't an official "attack". He loves running at sonic speeds slicing down his opponents and trees.
-Brief History: As a Gible he was brutally beat up by a gang group of Gibles. He made the mistake of trying to pillage some food rather than asking. Hurt and alone Anne found him and from that day on they became training partners. Abitt never forgot Anne's kindness or his debt to her. He understands, along with most of the other Pokemon, her idea of equal exchange. Nothing is done without something in return.

-Name: Nova
-Species: Noivern
-Gender: Male
-Appearance: Nova likes to keep himself clean and proper much like a bird. Even in the apocalypse he always tends to make himself look snazzy for the ladies.
-Personality: Nova is a ladies man wanting to breed. Nova is pretty chatty, outgoing, and loves meeting new people as well as Pokemon. Unlike Abitt and Anne he likes to do nice things for others and doesn't expect anything in return. He is very combative towards strange or new people but warms up easily.
-Brief History: He used to live in a colony of Noibats. In the colony he tended to fetch food for others and chattered about his day. Even as a little Noibat he dreamed about finding a mate. When Anne came along to battle him he was defeated and impressed by her skill as well as Abitt's. He also felt the opportunity for adventure with her. He developed a rivalry with Abitt until finally evolving with him. Now the brawl once in a while but it's not a bitter rivalry like before.

-Name: Milly
-Species: Luxray
-Gender: Female
-Appearance: The only distinguishing characteristic she has from other Luxray is a gold bracelet on her tail.
-Personality: Milly is the mother of the group. She tries to keep quarrels under control and keep up the morale of the group. She also likes pretty things which is why she has the gold bracelet given to her by her previous owner Anne's father. She isn't easily swooned by others, and she agrees with Anne's philosophy of equal exchange. For instance, she serves as the mother of the group in return receives food and protection.
-Brief History: She was born into the world thanks to Anne's father. From a young age she had a mothering personality. When she was given to Anne to raise Milly quickly picked up on the idea of equal exchange and adopted the philosophy.

-Name: Ikari
-Species: Ninetails
-Gender: Female
-Appearance: Ninetails seems to always look her best, but tends to have a cold stare. Her fur is gleaming gold with points of red at the tips of her tail. Her eyes are burning yellow.
-Personality: Ninetails works independently. She refuses to take orders but tends to respond to polite requests fairly well. She is very vengeful and will lay a curse to anyone that touches one of her magnificent tails. Ninetails tends to be distant and thinks very highly of herself. She understands human language very well and will sometimes try to communicate with Anne in her own way when necessary. For instance, she can count accurately by pawing the ground. The number of times she paws the ground is the number of times she is counting. She also tends to give very distinct and animated looks to express emotions as well as ideas. She has taken to heart the idea of equal exchange. She has not accepted Anne as her trainer for she is still mourning and in denial of her previous owner's death.
-Brief History: Ikari has been around for a very long time, at least a hundred years. She found Anne's mother training and was inspired by her strength. After much consideration she approached the human desiring to train with her on occasion, but soon after returning to the wild. Ikari trained with her and after deciding the human's worth became official partners with Anne's mother. When Anne's mother died she had considered returning to the wild, but after just losing her owner, she decided instead to protect her daughter. She reconciled that it would be payment for her years of training and kindness.

RP Sample: Clamped to the coal skin of the Noivern, Nova, Anne impatiently waits for their destination. It has been days since the attack. Her fists balled tighter in Nova's cream collar and its wings beat heavily onward. Pale white facial cheeks were sticky from the tears. She cried so much that tears were unable to well in her eyes. Nova cooed softly and tried to use the back of his head to nuzzle her. She pressed her cheek against it like a pillow before letting her head rise to watch the world zoom ahead of her.

Her hoodie was down, sunglasses on, and her hat was packed away in her rugged sack strapped to her back. Along with her bag an odd weapon was also tightly secured to her. On one end of the pole it bore a crescent shaped steel blade. The other was adorned with a sharp spade like structure. The metal rings dangling at the base of the spade tinkled sharply in the high speed winds.

They were traveling at night while the world was tossed over with a thick black wooly blanket. It was comforting to Anne because the sun tended to damage her skin. However, admittedly it was risky. Walkers were more lively at night than in the day. Her party was safe though. She had two flying Pokemon, a fair amount of supplies, and weapons on hand.
Then she heard a familiar sound echoing through the trees. Nova's head bolted up, ears standing at attention. Then he dived towards the sultry voice.

"Nova! Nova! No! This isn't the time to go hitting on girls! Pull up! Pull up!" She tried frantically to avert his attention by pulling the fur around his neck. It did no good though. He was on the prowl.

He swooped in, almost crashing into the other Noivern. Instantly he began chattering at the girl. He landed and leaned next to a tree, trying to act cool. In the process he stumbled and almost fell flat on his face. Anne was still grasping to his back, attempting to stay on during his attempt to attract the clearly disinterested female. The Noivern briefly glanced at him before continuing on. Distraught he launched from the ground and tried to follow her, breaking a small tree branch off to give to her as a gift.

"Nova!"

 

[Strikit]

oreo, you are adamantly accepted! I love your SU so much. Do note that there's no official sanctuary set up in Lilycove. The survivor group living in the Department Store is just a bunch of refugees who got lucky. Other than that though I love the thought you put into her, your Sample made me giggle, and I absolutely cannot wait to see Anne in action.

 

[Lycanthropy]

Is it still possible to sign up for this Roleplay?

 

[jombii]

Is it possible to SU? I love the TWD really.

Putting this here as a reservation post. :)

Azzofy​

Male || 34 y.o​

Appearance:

Azzofy is a bulky, black male, standing at around five-foot eleven, to six-foot one. He braids his hair in dreadlocks, but it used to be wavy before he grew them into cornrows. His eyes were coal-black in nature but, before the outbreak, he opted to wear contact lenses to modify the way he looks. His face is covered with a huge black-and-white Tyranitar tattoo, his eyes serving as the Rock-types eyes. Underneath them are scars from a childhood trauma. Throughout his body were deep scars that ran severe lengths and, despite all the efforts Azzofy put into hiding them, they were pretty obvious, especially the long lash he has on his back.

For clothing, he just wears anything available. During the outbreak, you could see him wearing this plain-white shirt, that is too fit for him, but he still claims he wears comfortable. It is already dirty with grime and dirt, despite the washing he occasionally does when reaching a body of water. His pants are frayed in its edges, the wear and tear really obvious even from afar. Even his sandals, a nondescript green one, already has the soles falling off. He wears a leather strap around his back in which he sheaths the woodcutting axe he picked up early on the outbreak. He carries a black bag in which he puts his supplies.


Personality:

Azzofy, in general, is a man whose whole character have been defined by the abuse of his father when he was a child. He is generally a loner, his trust in people waning as the years go by. During his short tenure in school, he never had that one person he considered as a friend, with good reason. No one looked past beyond the black kid's color and his scars. He ran out of school, and out of home, when he was merely sixteen years old. Since then, he had been living off his own, washing cars, running errands for people he don't know, just to merely survive in a world not meant for a kid. He learned to be independent at a very young age and, as a result, he shuns any signs of weakness.

Azzofy rarely shows emotions. People around him will more likely see his passive face even in the most extreme situations. He rarely indulges himself in petty enjoyment. He has no vice to fill his blank time, but he consumes the occasional alcohol every once in a while. While he is not really a great music fan, he listens to some select artists like The Dragon Rage, Gyaradose, etc.

Despite all these anti-social thinking, Azzofy loves himself. He takes pride in honing his body, toning his muscles, and the like. He constantly maintains his dreadlocks. His choice of having his body inked had been a result of his severe want to hide the imperfections in his body that was his scars.

History: Azzofy, born Aaron Zachary Franklin, experienced a lot of childhood trauma. His mother had died during childbirth and his father blamed the child for this event. Soon after that, his father became involved with alcohol and thus the beating started. Azzofy considered telling what his father was doing to the authorities or to anyone at all, but his father threatened to kill him. He was sixteen when he ran away from home since his father, a man who he possesses no love for, s starting to worsen. He gets drunk more often and hits Azzofy more often and the child got full of him. He hit back. His father got into a rage and grabbed a knife. Azzofy locked himself in his room. In the following hours, he gathered the little possessions he had and ran away in the middle of the night. He never looked back or thought of contacting his father again.

Azzofy wandered throughout the region, living by the skills he learned in life. He flew from one town to the next until he arrives in Fortree Town. He found a permanent home in the peaceful town and decided to stay there. However, the peace he associated with the city had been destroyed when one of the gym trainers died from an unknown disease. At first Azzofy shrugged it off as something isolated but when reports started to fly up from the other cities of other mysterious deaths, he knew something was amiss. And when hordes of people started reanimating, he knew he was out. His survivalist instinct kicked in. He grabbed again whatever little possession he has and ran away from Fortree, not really sure where to proceed. He went south-east of Fortree, hoping that Lilycove would be safe as it is near the sea. As he escapes the countless hordes of undead en route, he finally managed to reach Lilycove, where he saw survivors like him.

Pokemon: NA

RP Sample:

Spoiler:

Route 121 was a nightmare. Azzofy had never been there when he was travelling away from his home, but he stopped when he reached Fortree, a well-thought of decision then as Fortree offered him the quiet life he wanted. He never proceeded and bought with his little earnings a quaint little house near the Route 120 border of the city. When the death toll rose up, Azzofy knew trouble was afoot and he jumped ship immediately. However, he never expected to see the dead walking and in hordes. His first encounter with them was with the Route 120 bridge. The bridge, sturdy as it is, has its strength tested as a horde of the dead is slowly shambling about its length. Most of the dead had been walking in circles. This makes the bridge impossible to traverse, unless you have a grenade or a huge truck, both dangerous ways as it could easily destroy the bridge. Using the road usually taken by automobiles would lengthen his travel time by almost a day as the road is paved for cars, and not for walking humans.

Azzofy decided to climb the rock walls beneath the bridge. It is relatively safer but takes more effort. Azzofy doesn't really have the luxury of a choice so up he went. Good thing the rock walls has handholds and footholds so it made the climb easier. He continued hi way onwards to Lilycove, most of the time hiding in the forest surrounding the route so as not to attract even more unwanted attention.

He reached 121 and his nightmare started. It was the Safari Zone route. When the virus hit, too many people were stuck there and thus a huge horde is there. No forest is in sight as it was renovated for public use. Azzofy's choice was to swim from Mt. Pyre sea onwards to Lilycove, or just barge through the small route. He was tired and weak in the bones. He chose the shorter way. He got his small axe out and hacked his way. He has no gun whatsoever.

It was a miracle that, one hour later, Azzofy stumbled upon the Lilycove gates, screaming "Open the damn gates!" but without any scratch on his body. He was safe.

 

[Strikit]

Go ahead and get SUs in and I'll see about getting you accepted. Note that if you are accepted in a later chapter than we're on now, you'll have to find a way to creatively bring your character into the roleplay.

So guys! Sorry about my absence. This has been a crazy week. I'm going to work on getting chapter two up pronto!

 

[Gelius3]

Is anyone trying to interact with me or not? I don't want to be a forever alone...

Edit: Strikit can you do with me a joint post? Would be cool.

 

[Lycanthropy]

Well, here goes.

Name: Dexter McKent
Gender: ♂
Age: 54

Characteristics:

Spoiler:

Appearance:
Dexter stands at six foot one. He seems quite active for his age. When his brown hair hadn't started coloring gray, you'd estimate him younger. Above his mustache his blue eyes look calm and friendly. His leg muscles show he's a fan of hiking, mountaineering and cycling.

Dexter wears a brown jacket and hat, but the first thing that the attention is his huge backpack. As a traveler he needs a tent, pans, gas, food, a Swiss knife, duct tape, etcetera. On his belt he wears the four PokéBalls containing his Pokémon.


Personality:
On the weekdays Dexter enjoys his time on work. In his current job he leads the development of the Demarcation Drive at Silph Co., which could evolve Porygon-Z to a further stage, to fix the errors made in the data for Porygon-Z. He stays in a good mood, even if the code doesn't work as it should (it's IT, you know).
In the evening he often goes for a stroll on Route 6 with Badger. On Thursday he meets with his bridge club and in the weekend he likes to cycle with his friends.
Dexter likes to travel, hiking or mountaineering. His set holiday location is the area near Mahogany Town in Johto, he also traveled to different places, but mostly in Kanto and Johto.

Dexter often tends to be calm. He thinks conflicts solve itself better by a conversation than by violence. However, the Pokémon Trainer spirit from his youth also sees a Pokémon battle as an extra possible solution.

I'm afraid I can't say much about how Dexter thinks regarding the end of the world. He just discovers it is happening. I refer the reader to RP Sample for this. I hope you agree with this, GM.


History:
Dexter was born in Vermillion City, Kanto, from Clark and Michelle McKent. The first years he did what most kids of that age did, sleeping, eating and playing. On the primary school he only had a few friends, but he was totally fine with that.
At an age of ten, Dexter got his first Pokémon from his parents, a Machop he named Melvin. At this age, he really wanted to become the best Pokémon trainer in the world, but since his parents obliged him to still go to school, his only times to train were the weekends and a little time in the afternoons. Dexter used almost all of his available time for training.
A year later he felt brave enough to challenge the local Gym Leader, Lt. Surge., but he lost the battle. Lt. Surge gave him the advice to type advantage for his next challenge and suggested Dexter should face Brock of Pewter City when Melvin evolved. Dexter followed his advice, travelling half a year later with a Machoke through the Diglett's Cave to Pewter City. Here he beat Brock with ease and obtained the Boulder Badge.
In high school Dexter got busier with school, but it was worth the time: Dexter got very good grades on all subjects except the foreign languages, at which he scored just below avage grades. The downside was that he only managed to obtain the Thunder Badge and the Rainbow Badge in this time. Because he spent more time to school and reading his training time reduced to only the Saturday afternoon (and some more time in the holidays). After passing the finals, he started a study of Technical Physics in Cerulean City. During this time his dream to become the best Pokémon trainer faded and he wanted to become an engineer. His study took a lot of time and Dexter created a new hobby: archery. The time for training sank even lower than before. Melvin didn't like this, he liked to battle. He couldn't understand Dexter spent so much time looking at loads of symbols he called reading. Dexter taught him a little and Melvin kept himself busy learning himself for some time, because he had nothing better to do. It hadn't very much effect. Since Dexter saw Melvin getting bored again, he bought him some fitness items to train his strength. Melvin liked this way more than reading. They trained battling now and then in the weekend, but Dexter didn't challenge any more Gyms.
After his study Dexter, now twenty-three years old, moved out of his parents house and rented an apartment in Saffron City (five years later he bought a house in the same city) and got a job at Silph Co. at the Pokéball development department. Here helped with the design and testing of better versions of the Pokéballs and the machines that created them. A first his project was to improve the closing mechanism of the Ultraball. After ten years he worked on the data compression system built in a Pokéball (and later those of the Greatball and Ultraball too). Eight years after the start of this project, it got halted by a takeover by Team Rocket. With help form traitors inside they managed to suddenly overflow the Silph building by Grunts. Most of the staff members had no Pokémon or weren't experienced in battling. Melvin accompanied by Dexter's Porygon2, Zippy, (who left the computer's virtual world for a battle) couldn't counter the enormous flock of Zubat who filled the building with Supersonic waves. Luckily five days later a young boy named Red wiped out so many Rocket Grunts that the staff managed to escape the hostage and reclaim the building. Unluckily were parts of the building demolished, computers stolen and archives disordered. The project got almost three-and-a-half year delay, thanks to Team Rocket.
He worked at the Pokéball development department for twenty-four years, at which point he was offered to lead the project of the Demarcation Drive, which he gladly accepted. By now most of the data is completed and it is being tested in a simulation. For this they don't need the entire staff, so Dexter took a holiday here.
After his study he saw his university friends less often, but he still kept contact with the most of them, mostly by e-mail. His friends had spread all over Kanto and even abroad, inter alia at the Cinnabar Lab, Indigo Plateau, Devon and the University itself. Dexter and three of them established a bridge club, meeting every Thursday.
Dexter goes every year at least once on a camping holiday with his Pokémon. He likes the surroundings of Mahogany Town and often goes there to visit Mt. Mortar and the Lake of Rage. Thanks to often going there, he is well known among the people there. On one of his holidays, when some trainers saw Melvin, a Machamp by now, they suggested he should try to battle Pryce. At first he refused to challenge Gym Leaders, he abandoned this job, but two days later he remembered he was on a holiday, so why no try his old hobby again for once? Melvin seemed to agree with this and Dexter obtained the Glacier Badge.
Two years ago Dexter also got the Marsh Badge from Sabrina when he decided Badger should face a real battle. Saffron Gym was the nearest Gym, so Dexter went here. Sabrina's Pokémon didn't seem to do much harm to Badger, her Venomoth seemed the only one that could do harm at all, but its gust attacks didn't seem a match for Badger's flamethrower.

Pokémon on hand:

Spoiler:

Name: Melvin
Gender: ♂
History: Melvin, as a Machop, was Dexter's first Pokémon, a gift for his tenth birthday. Dexter trained a lot with Melvin when he was in primary and high school. During this training Melvin evolved into Machoke when Dexter was eleven and evolved further into a Machamp when Dexter traded him for one of his colleague's Kadabra at an age of twenty-nine. They traded Pokémon back immediately afterwards.
Personality: Melvin likes battling and mountaineering. He always joined Dexter on his holidays and has no problem with carrying the backpack and tent when climbing. He isn't afraid of anything, but does step aside for psychic Pokémon. He can also read easy words.

Name: Badger
Gender: ♂
History: Badger was adopted by Dexter (41 years old now) when he was still in an egg. One of the members of Dexter's bridge club owned a family of Houndour and the mother laid another egg. Since he couldn't care for more Houndour he looked for someone to adopt the egg. The first years Badger was very playful, but when he was older he joined Dexter on his evening stroll and ran along with hem when he was cycling. Badger started to learn to battle at an age of eight when Dexter got challenged by some random passerby on his evening stroll. Badger lost, from then he wanted to train with Dexter to become as strong as Melvin. At an age of eleven he went with Dexter to the local Gym. But for some reason he seemed immune to half of the Pokémon there. Only the Slowpoke and Slowbro could cause decent damage, and their water attacks harmed a lot. Nevertheless Badger beat Sabrina (who didn't have a Slowpoke or Slowbro) with ease.
Personality: Badger is Dexter's loyal companion, always following him, except when Dexter is at work. He doesn't like to be in his Pokéball and likes to lie near the fireplace. He trained himself to recognize scents and to trace their tracks. Badger doesn't like pools, lakes and seas. While mostly calm, Badger turns aggressive against Slowpoke and Slowbro, wanting revenge for those in Saffron Gym.

Name: Goyla
Gender: ♀
History: One of Dexter's friends works at Cinnabar Laboratories, studying fossils, the revival process and the revived Pokémon. He wanted to research the effect of conditions on the Pokémon. They kept most of the revived Pokémon on Cinnabar Island, but he wanted to know if the city life had any effect on the revived Pokémon, so they gave away some of these Pokémon to people living on the mainland, Goyla was one of them, accepted by Dexter when he was 44 years old.
Personality: Goyla often seems a bit hyperactive, possibly because of the happiness getting her life back. She likes to fly around enjoying the wind. She hasn't learned to battle though.

Name: Wisp
Gender: ♀
History: Wisp is the only Pokémon Dexter caught himself. Dexter went three years ago for the first time on a holiday outside of Kanto and Johto, he heard the Twist Mountain in Unova was a must see. Here he caught Wisp in the Celestial Tower who was repelled by the group. Since Dexter caught Wisp he doesn't bring a flashlight along any more.
Personality: Wisp used to be very shy, but since he met Dexter he regained self-confidence. Now he's a little prankster, who likes to scare people.

Pokémon at home:

Spoiler:

Name: Zippy
Gender: -
History: Everyone who works ten years at one of the development departments gets for this anniversery a Porygon. Zippy evolved into a Porygon2 when exposed to the Up-Grade a few years later. When additional data, the Dubious Disc, came available, Dexter upgraded Zippy to Porygon-Z.
Personality: Zippy doesn't like the 'real' world and prefers to stay in Dexter's computer, reading and responding Dexter's e-mail, browsing the internet and writing stories in text files. Since he evolved into Porygon-Z he started to act oddly sometimes.

RP Sample:
"Come on, Badger!" Dexter shouted, standing next to the front door of his house."We're leaving." Badger stood up and ran outside in order that Dexter could close the door. Dexter got on his bike and went to Route 6 with Badger running at his side. A few moments later they arrived in Vermillion City and Dexter put his bike near the port. He looked at his watch, he had almost half an hour left before his ship left. This gave him time to think. He took a seat on a bench and waited until he could go aboard. Looking at his huge bag, he thought "Hopefully the weather stays so nice as it is right now. It's less fun scaling a mountain in a thunderstorm. He heard the forests near Fortree City should be beautiful and the view from the top of Mount Chimney should be wonderful." He wondered how much Hoenn differs from Kanto, he's never been in Hoenn before. One of his old colleagues at Silph moved to Hoenn and started at Devon. Four months ago Dexter e-mailed him if he could visit him, they decided they would meet the day after the day Dexter arrived in Hoenn. He wasn't sure by then if he had time that day, but never sent a confirmation. Dexter has sent about five reminders, but they were never responded. Or maybe Zippy is deleting some of his e-mails without telling him. No, that can't be, he wouldn't do that. His old friend will probably just come to the motel as planned thinking the appointment was completely planned. But then why the lack of respond on his messages? Something isn't right here. Dexter saw he could go aboard and decided not to worry much any more, he would see it when he arrived. There was plenty time before that happened, he would arrive tomorrow evening in Lilycove City.

Hey Gelius! Sorry about the forever alone :( Come on up to the roof and chatter with Anne if you like! She tends to be at her most relaxed in the state she's in.

Also, since this is an OOC let's get some chatter going! Hello I'm Oreo and I'm addicted to Pokemon. xD I'm really excited for this rp and I am thankful there is a post limit. I tend to get so far behind in rps it's ridiculous because if I'm gone the day people are posting I'm just excluded. :/ So thanks for the rule!

Let's start with an easy question, what is your character's favorite Pokemon on their current team and why?

I think Anne's is Ikari... even though Ikari doesn't feel mutual. Her best and most reliable friend is Abitt.

 

[Gelius3]

Well my character's favorite pokemon is Sneasel because Sneasel was like a brother to Gelius. Gelius can always count with Sneasel and will do anything so he doesn't die.

I've just added an RP Sample and completed my signup.

H.A.N., I'm a little concerned with your detail. Will you be able to keep up with a 300 limit? Remember that not every post will have a ton of stuff happening in it, you'll have to come up with enough detail to beef up your posts. Refer to oreo's SU if you need some pointers in the right direction. I want to accept you, but first can you add a little more detail particularly in History? For someone so advanced in age his History should be a lot longer. Right now you're pending.

Oreo, the post limit is my best best friend. I'm only active for around three days per week, maybe a little more or less sometimes. No way I'd be able to keep up with this if there was no limit. And the 300 minimum is a godsend too. It's like a speed bump, it's hard to churn out a thousand posts a minute when they all have to be a little longer. And I'd hate for you to be excluded. I lovelovelove Anne a ton, I think she's my favorite so far. She's going to be a real challenge for Aidan, and she's either going to love her or completely hate her. I'm so in love I'm probably right about to pop into the main thread and have Aidan go chill with her on the roof. Her self control has never been stellar.

Aidan's favorite on her team is obviously Rogue. He's her partner, and he's more than just a Pokemon to her.

Hi, so sorry my SU is taking too long. :( I'm finding it hard to shape Azzofy the way I like it.

I just have one question, is it a requirement to have a Pokemon? I feel Azzofy is not the kind of person to have a Pokemon with him, IMO.

 

[Serin]

Hopefully its not too late to join. Also hey Strikit! I know its been a while, but I'm glad to see you have another RP open.

Also, I'm taking a screenwriting class so its kind of hard to transition back into that narrative style of writing.

Name: Abel Rivers

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Appearance: Abel is a biracial male with light caramel colored skin and a clear complexion. He is fairly tall at 6 foot 1 and has a thin frame packed with lean muscle making him very athletic. His black curly hair is cut close on the sides but a bit longer on top. His cold gaze is softened by his smooth hazel eyes. His face is very sharp and keen with a protruding nose and defined jaw line.

Abel's wardrobe normally consists of high end clothing from blazers to cardigans. All of his clothes are tailored to fit and his pants are always slim but comfortable. His footwear varies from combat boots to high end loafers. Since the outbreak however, the only clothing he has now are a white undershirt, a grey long-sleeved sweater vest, a black cardigan with a red 'R' stitched on the front, maroon pants, and black combat boots.

Personality: Abel is a very quiet and reserved person. He rarely speaks unless he has something important to say. This is probably more from his ideology of being better than everyone else that aren't on his level. When he isn't deep in his thoughts, Abel often expresses his passions with a fierce debating tone; he is very open and expressive when the topic in discussion sparks his interest. Abel prefers to be on his own but doesn't mind small groups. Too many people make him uncomfortable.

Problem solving and leading are Abel's strong points. He hates wasting time and prefers to get things done as soon as possible and doing everything perfectly. Despite being a good leader, he doesn't like to be in the lead as it requires him to speak up too much. He is more of the observant type; he acts based on his observations. With this mindset he often abandons the group to achieve the goal himself while everyone else is still debating the action to take. Due to his perfectionist attitude, he often beats himself up when he makes a mistake. This self-destruction leads him to make rash decisions in the end and makes him emotionally unstable; being very sensitive and insecure about his flaws. Behind his stern face he has a very fragile heart, being sensitive to the smallest of things. Inside he is constantly crying about his bad mistakes and his lonely life, feeling as though his parents never truly loved him.

At the beginning of the outbreak, Abel was in the comfort of a secret Team Rocket base stationed in Hoenn. There they did inhumane tests on the infected and even tested the virus on Pokemon. Abel's view on the matter is neutral like most things. He doesn't necessarily care about the infected and won't hesitate to kill them, but he also doesn't fear them.

History: Abel was born in Pewter City to Samantha, a successful professor specialized in fossil Pokemon, and Jahreem Rivers, a wealthy entrepreneur with stakes in businesses all over Kanto. Abel grew up luxuriously in a mansion right outside of Pewter City. He grew up alone as his parents were always busy and he wasn't allowed to play with the other kids in the city. Despite his life being set forever, Abel wanted something more; he had a strong taste for adventure.

When he came of age, Abel's parents surprisingly allowed him to set off on his journey; a private driver took him down to Pallet Town. However, Abel was dissatisfied with the choice of starter Pokemon; he had his parents import a shiny Cyndaquil from special breeders in Johto. Abel traveled every inch of Kanto, traveling using the seemingly unlimited funds his parents supplied him. He was unimpressed with the various Pokemon as he was used to them growing up. He didn't capture Pokemon and his Cyndaquil was his only partner, in which they formed a very strong bond.

At the age of 15, Abel and a few friends he made on his adventures settled in Fuschia City. Abel was tired of the childish adventures and had bigger plans; they organized and started a Pokemon smuggling operation out of the Safari Zone. For 2 years, Abel's gang grew into a real threat, stealing as many Pokemon as the Safari Zone imported. Unfortunately, he caught the attention of Team Rocket whom kidnapped him at the age of 17. The head of Team Rocket was actually impressed with Abel's success; he started as a grunt and worked his way up to an elite position quickly.

At the beginning of the outbreak, Team Rocket immediately sent a large group to a secret base in Hoenn. They sent out teams to capture the infected and bring them into the base where they conducted research on them. Abel was put in charge of organizing teams to send out into the field. During a long night in his office he was visited by one of the other, much older Admin's daughter whom he had a relationship with. The young woman's father caught them and reported Abel claiming he had raped his daughter. Abel was punished by being deranked and put under command to go out into the field to capture and contain rare Pokemon at risk of extinction from the virus..

On a mission, him and a team of 5 were west of Lilycove hunting Absol when a group of infected attacked. All of his team members were killed or infected as they attempted to flee to Lilycove. Abel made it safely into the abandoned Poke'Center.

Pokemon:

-Scarlet
-Typhlosion
-Female
-Scarlet's abnormally soft fur is a beautiful deep reddish-pinkish color; her underbelly a smooth cream. Her gentle eyes glow red and are filled with love for Abel. She is specially bred to have a longer, more slender body than regular Typhlosion to appear more cat-like. In battle, her fire glows almost as gentle as her heart, but when Abel is in danger it bursts into a scorching hot flame that glows almost blue.
-Scarlet is almost always happy. She is very optimistic and the most positive thing in Abel's life. She seems to be the only one to make him smile. Her friendly attitude carries on to others as well and she gets along with almost every human and Pokemon she meets. She can throw tantrums when she doesn't get her way but she is a very understanding Pokemon; intelligent and considerate.
-Scarlet was bred through careful gene selection and cross-breeding to achieve a very distinct type of Cyndaquil. The Johto breeders sell the specially bred Pokemon to wealthy buyers such as Abel's family. Scarlet was shipped to Abel in Kanto from Johto at the beginning of Abel's Pokemon journey. She was Abel's only Pokemon and evolved early on into Typhlosion due to a deep love shown by Abel and plenty of battle experience.

-Absol
-Absol
-Male
-This Absol is very petite. His blades are small and almost embarrassing. The fur around his neck is very long and furry giving him a soft appearance.
-This particular Absol is a very sad and depressing creature. He is often seen with his head hung and rarely moves. His eyes are deep and moody. He has an unusual similarity to Abel's dark, moody side when he gets emotional.
-During the Absol hunt, Abel and his team were on, this one caught Abel's attention. He was sitting alone, whimpering in the mountains behind a couple of rocks. When approached he didn't run. Instead, he looked into Abel's eyes then back down at the ground and continued to whimper, and that is when Abel felt a connection. Abel threw the Poke'ball and the Absol didn't put up any fight.

Roleplay Sample:
The cloudy sky provided no rain in the dry, arid atmosphere. Abel and his team were exhausted; after a long day of hiking they were finally near the peak of the mountain. They were tasked with mapping the locations of Pokemon, Absol in particular, and areas with a high concentration of the infected. Due to the population of Pokemon dropping, Team Rocket began to hunt down rarer Pokemon in fear of them becoming extinct.

This is rediculous. Abel stood with his arms crossed. Him and 4 others stood attentively listening to an Admin's directions. From riches to rags...This guy is so pathetic. Abel hated taking orders; since a young boy during his journeys in Kanto, he had been a leader. He led a small group of Pokemon thieves that eventually became an infamous gang in Fuschia feared by the entire Southern Region of Kanto. Even after becoming part of Team Rocket he worked his way up into a leadership position.

"Ab...Absol...Absoool." There was a faint whimpering coming from behind a pile of rocks. Abel left the group to the check it out. His head peaked over the rocks, he sees a small Absol crying with his head down. How convenient. He pulls a Poke'ball from his belt and approaches the Absol but it doesn't run. Now that's strange...You're not gonna run like the rest? The Absol looked up at Abel and its dark, gloomy eyes struck Abel with a familiar feeling. Abel stared into the it's dark pupils as if looking into his soul and the Absol stared back into Abel's. Abel throws the Poke'ball and without a fight, the Absol is captured.

"Rivers!" The Admin and the rest of the group appears behind him. "You're always running off. That type of B.S. is gonna get you put back on probation." His voice was too soft to provoke any fear, especially not in Abel, and he simply nodded. "Okay..Now...Get back over here and let me finish briefing you!" The Admin pathetically ordered. It was simply hard to maintain a threatening position when it came to addressing Abel's cold gaze.

Abel sat on a boulder trying to listen. The Admin was going on about pointless topics regarding the area. Everyone knew and feared that an infected would show up any minute except for him. He had just gained an Admin position and hadn't had much experience doing field work since the outbreak. And just as everyone expected, an infected came hopping from a boulder behind the Admin and landed on him, ripping and chewing the Admin to pieces.

"Aww crap! I knew it was way too quiet!" One of the Grunts yelled as he pulled out his pistol. He shot three times and each hit the infected in the body. The other Grunts pulled out their guns as well and began to shoot. These idiots..if they keep shooting they are going to attract more. Abel slowly backed away. A low growl came from behind him and he turned quickly to face an infected crawling towards him. "Alright. Scarlet let's go!" He sends out the radiant Typhlosion and she screams fiercely.

"Flame thrower!" Abel ordered. A fiery stream scorched the infected. Abel put Scarlet back in her Poke'ball and fleed down the mountain, leaving the Grunts behind. On his way down the mountain he out maneuvered several infected trying to climb up the mountain. At the base he sprinted full speed eastbound until he arrived at the outskirts of Lilygrove City.

Good...Now I can bunker down in one of these buildings until day time. He looked up at the sky; the sun was now falling and a red hue from the sunset painted the cloudy sky. He drew his pistol from his holster and a silencer strapped to his utility belt then screwed it onto the barrel. Abel slowly walked through the city, avoiding any infected he seen until he reached the abandoned Poke'center. Inside he began to board up the windows and door. He sent Scarlet from her Poke'ball to keep him company and to help him keep watch as he slept. It was night time; eerie growls and howls filled the night air.

Kurobat, you don't have to give him a Pokémon. Him not having one could be interesting in the story.

Serin, I'm in love with your SU. You're accepted. Since you're coming in two chapters behind I encourage you to find a creative way to incorporate your character. Also, due to his research with the infected he could play a very important role in any team and maybe have information others may not. If you have any details about the infection you want to use just PM me first to make sure it doesn't conflict with something I have planned.

 

[jombii]

All right, I think I am done with my SU. :)

If accepted, I think I'll post when the next chapter comes around. :)

 

[Strikit]

Okay, you're accepted. You'll have to really make your first post awesome to compensate for coming in late, I just ask for creativity.

 

[jombii]

Quick question: Is the RP still in the first chapter, like get to the lilcove dept first? because I think I can do that. :))
