Preface
To clarify this is in fact a Pokemorph RP, but one like you have never seen before! (Or at least I havent!) Its complicated and I plan for it to have several serious adult themes so I'd prefer anyone RPing to be about 16 or older please. I hope everyone enjoys and no one is overwhelmed
Your World
You live in a world separate from the Pokemon world we know. In your world there is no Pokeball, there is not Elite Four or Pokemon Gym challenge, no Pokecenters to revitalize the weakened Pokemon of the world. Instead there are villages scattered across the continent; each of them with different varying levels of technology and organization but there is one thing that's true about them all; They all contain humans capable of binding themselves with the souls of Pokemon. Your relatively small village is on the edge of the continent and has been at peace with the surrounding villages for many generations. Recently though news of conflict between far away villages has spread rapidly... Hopefully all is well in the world of Pokemon.
What is a Pokesoul?
Its more than a method of control, more than a way of battle; it's a way of life, a means of spirituality and an alteration of humanity itself. When you decide to take part in adopting a Pokesoul you willing share a part of your own mind and your own physical form. It's a contract between man and beast, the Pokemon sacrifices its own form but unlocks a potential in a human to become more than what he could've ever been before. The more often the Pokesoul is drawn upon the more powerful it becomes and the more abilities its human can draw on, eventually the soul of the Pokemon might even evolve which drastically increases its power. The more powerful the soul of this Pokemon is then the more influence it has over the humans personality... Some even find their Pokesoul talking to them even when they aren't in use after many years of use.
How is a Pokesoul Stored?
When a human decides he wants the soul of Pokemon as his own, he has two options; He may win the Pokemons respect (Through battle or some sort of task to aid them) or he may force them to take part in relinquishing their soul, sometimes you may find that only one of these methods actually work and that Pokesouls may be more effective if obtained one way or another. Beware that using these methods might result in how heavily the soul affects your personality and can alter your morality altering how other people and pokemon react to you. Once the Pokemon gives up their soul then they must be bound to a trinket created by the human intent on controlling it. This trinket grows and changes as the power of the Pokesoul increases and might even change form entirely when the power is evoked. (For example a a ring could become a gauntlet overtime with training and that gauntlet might become full body armor when its power is evoked) The human host who originally bound the soul is the only person who can evoke its power but if that item is lost a human cannot use its power, if it is destroyed then the human must craft a new trinket to serve as a home for the lost soul and quickly.
Where You Come In
You are very special... Very special indeed; You have been chosen as a guardian. What is a guardian you ask? Where you come from they are of the most revered people around; every 15 years 8 children are chosen for their different abilities and capacity to exhibit certain traits to protect the village from any threat that may come its way. You've been trained since a young age in martial arts as well as education about the various Pokemon that exist throughout the world. Alongside you has been your faithful companion Pokemon (single Pokemon to clarify here) who will be the first Pokemon you choose to bond with and will become vital to your journey. Today is the day of your bonding and one of the existing guardians is going to teach you how to perform the ritual, hopefully all goes well...
Leveling and that whole thing:
Humans level just as Pokemon (Well much slower by comparison) do and there are 4 distinct Human classes, each of them learning slightly different abilities at different rates. These classes include:
Spiritualist
You focus primarily on utilizing all of your Pokesouls to their potential by mixing and matching their separate abilities at once. if your not using multiple Pokesouls then your quickly switching between them making you a much more versatile threat in combat. The downside to this is that your pokemon have to split their experience between them and that could lead to some slower leveling.
Pros:
-Easier to switch between Pokesouls
-Can recruit new Pokesouls early
-Versatile
Cons:
-Slow Levelling
-Strategy Dependant
-Harder to bond with Pokesouls individually
Notes: 3 souls total-
Bondist
You give each and every Pokesoul full devotion. You bond quicker with your Pokesouls and because of that they grow faster and you can gain more natural insight from them. Followers of this fate tend to be more heavily affected by their Pokesouls than most others and seem to reach individual potential much faster than normal. Regretably in order to do this you sacrifice the ability to use multiple souls at once or switch between them as early as you might have liked.
Pros:
-Easier to unlock Pokesouls true potential
-Deeper bond with Pokesoul
-More instinctual sense of combat
Cons:
-Loss of versatility in combat
-Might take longer than usual to recruit new souls
-Loses sense of individuality earlier
Notes: Two souls total-
Jack-Of-All-Souls
Look at all those souls, you want them don't you? I mean how could you not they're so numerous and powerful... Well then it sounds like you're a Jack of all Trades. You quickly gain the capacity to control many souls but not all at once... but be warned you might find all these souls overwhelmingly hard to train together.
Pros:
-Highest capacity to control Pokesouls
-Learn to control more pokesouls earlier than anyone else
Cons:
-Might find it extremely hard to bond with Pokesouls
-Might be hard to level them all together
Notes: 5 Pokesouls-
Beserker
You want to go all out, but you know you don't have the ability to defeat your enemies alone, you just cant... Even with the subtle help from your Pokesouls you find contact daunting... So why not let go.. Why not give in fully to instinct and let your Pokesoul do the fighting? Become the weapon of your Pokesouls choice and destroy anyone who crosses your path using their completely potential. Submit your body and become all powerful.
Pros:
-Very quick leveling
-Extreme influence from your Pokesoul gives you an instinct for combat
Cons:
-You have little control over anything you do
-Even when your not using your soul you tend to constantly feel their will urging you to do everything.
Notes: 3 Pokesouls-
Pokemon; Evolutions, Moves, and Binding:
After you defeat a Pokemon in combat (Or befriend them in someway) if you intend on binding their soul then you must stop and make a "Ritual post" in which you bind the Pokemon to a trinket and feel the effects of its influence in your body... (You must confirm the binding with me before making a serious attempt.) As your Pokesoul gets more powerful you begin to be able to use more and more moves which are each individualized for your specifically depending on your weapon, Pokesoul, trinket, and class. Certain Pokemon have obscure methods for evolving and Pokesouls are no different; Any Pokemon that requires an item to evolve will require their Pokesouls trinket to be installed with said item, if the Pokemon need be traded then I chose when the Pokesoul evolves, Happiness is the same and for anything else you'll need to talk to me.
Its more than a method of control, more than a way of battle; it's a way of life, a means of spirituality and an alteration of humanity itself.
