The Hunting of the Shinies

The Hunting of the Shinies (Now Only Accepting Poachers! Cant Start Without One!!!)

Can we be a human who helps the Shinies? I'd like to reserve a spot for a legendary if not, and it'll be up before the days over.

EDIT: Okay, I'll be playing a pokemon ranger if I get accepted.

EDIT2: Sorry about that, I've been doing that by accident a lot the last couple days - missing one section of my sign up. Oh I edited my pokemon, I took out Buizel and I have a Scizor instead. Oh one question, can I have a legendary pokemon for my one of my pokemon? It doesn't need to be shiny, but I'd like to have one if I am allowed.

Name: Artemis Livingston
Age: Twenty years old
Gender: Male

Appearence: We start with Artemis' head, which has a very soft golden brown mess of hair. Its not too long, but isn't extremely short either, and is more than enough to cause bed head, yet easily fixed with some water or gel. Usually water is enough, as Artemis likes to let his hair hang down slightly on the left side and covers his left eye. Speaking of his eyes, they are a fierce icy blue color and than pierce the darkest of hearts and pour calmness into anyone's soul. A small detail is that he has his right ear pierced, just adding a little "bling" to his appearance.

Moving down, we come to Artemis' upper body which, under his shirt, is toned slightly - a little muscle to show he's in shape, but nothin spectacular. The appearance of a four pack is definite, but a six pack is just barely peaking through and it would take some more work for him to reach it. Covering his naked body, is a brown t-shirt that has some odd tribal design that he doesn't even know the meaning off - basically he just picked out the shirt he looked best in and wore it.

Continuing the downward motion, we come to the lower body of Artemis. He wears a simple black belt that holds up his blue jeans in place. These jeans are light in color and are technically "baggy" but they aren't rapstar baggy where they hang down past his butt. The jeans themselves do slack slightly, but the belt keeps it in place as if they were normal fitting jeans. Finishing up his outfit, we come to Artemis' shoes which are two shades of brown: light and dark, with white laces.

Personality: Artemis is probably one of the kindest, loveable and sweetest person anyone could come into contact with - of course, until you get to know him you don't realize it. His book cover appears to others that he's quiet, keeps to himself and doesn't have many friends. And most people judge the book known as Artemis by said cover, and its quite a shame - if they had just opened up the book and read a few pages they'd know they were wrong. Artemis is a very helpful person, always willing to lend a hand or put himself in harms way to protect someone. His siblings were the ones that got the majority of his love and affection, him being the only thing they all had to survive, and they were all extremely close. However, Artemis' personality does change, like most, when he gets angry and his siblings, who have witnessed said anger, know how serious and scary he can be. Such violence escapes him when enraged, but its to be expected - when one bottles their emotions until finally the cap pops off on its own.

History: Artemis was born into this world the oldest of four children, them being Artemis (20), Archimedes (16), Leslie (14) and her twin Vivian (14). Their parents, Rachel and Marcus Livingston, were both Pokemon Rangers when they were alive and they taught their children the meaning of human and pokemon relations as a Pokemon Ranger. Sadly though, Artemis was the only one who seemed interested in becoming a Pokemon Ranger when he was old enough and his parents did not bother to waist their time teaching to the three younger siblings. Archimedes devoted all his time into studying to become a big time executive to work in the business of making new devices like the Pokedex, Poketch, etc. Leslie and Vivian both agreed that they had love for pokemon, but it just wasn't as a Pokemon Ranger that they wanted to showcase it - both agreed they'd become a tandum double contest battling team.

And so this was the way of life that they all chose: Archimedes was sent to a boarding school that specialized in the Business field at the age of 16 and he is there until he turns 20, after that he'll be given his papers to show he is a graduate and will be allowed to set out into the wideworld of Business. Leslie and Vivian decided it would be good to wait to start their traveling and became trainers but did not leave home - instead they stayed and trained all day everyday perfecting Contest routines and then they started on new ones, finally coming up with multiple routines they could use whenever. After training for so long the girls, along with Leslies Furret and Vivians Cherrim, finally left home to go off and become famous Contest Coordinators.

Now all we have left is Artemis, who had been home all these years and had been training since he was 14 years old with his parents to one day become a Pokemon Ranger - that day being when he turned 20. And so off into the world the three of them went, doing battle against all who hurt pokemon for their own selfish gain - but then everything changed after a couple of months, Artemis' parents were both gunned down when trying to rescue some shiny pokemon. And it is now that Artemis has dedicated his life to helping the Shiny pokemon of this world from poachers.

Pokemon(up to six): Lugia, Zangoose, Persian, Swampert, Espeon, Pidgeot
Other: N/A

RP Sample: "Whatever we're gonna do let's do it soon."

Jacob suddenly snapped out of his daze and took in the information that Danny had just spoke to him, Jacob had almost forgotten that he had been with someone. Jacob turned around and walked over to the window and looked into the sky and saw the giant A, the blue color making it quite obvious that Team Alpha was responsible for the event. Jacob glanced back at Danny before making his way in the direction of further into the Pokemon Center. Jacob spotted the phones and began jogging over to them, wanting to get his new pokemon and then heading out of here with Danny as fast as possible. Jacob pulled out his pokevice and looked up the number for Professor Willows lab and punched in the numbers, a few seconds later her face appeared on the screen in front of him.

"Ah Jacob, how may I help you? I hope everything is going -"

"No time Professor, I need you to transfer five of my pokemon to me and I'll be sending the ones I have to you. Do you think you can do that?"

"Uhh..yes that should not be a problem, please insert your pokevice into the phone - since your pokemon are all in the storage device, instead of having to send each pokemon through the normal transporter I just transfer the pokemon out all at once."

"Hold on one second, I need to place my Dragonair into the storage portion of the device."

Jacob pulled the pokeball off the chain that hung around his next and repeated the process of storing the pokeball in the pokevice that he had learned to do earliar. Jacob then inserted the pokevice into the phone and waiting for Professor Willow to acknowledge that the device was connected properly.

"Okay so your connected correctly, which pokemon would you like to be sent?"

"I'd like for you to send me my Weavile, Zangoose, Metagross, Aerodactyl and Scizor if it isn't too much trouble."

"No not at all, it should just take a few minutes. When your pokevice ejects, check the storage section and make sure every pokemon is there."

A few minutes passed, with whurs and buzzs echoing off the small hallway walls, and Jacobs pokevice ejected itself from the phone. Taking the pokevice, Jacob flipped it open and examined the storage section - the images of Cresselia and all the pokemon he asked for were accounted for.

"Thank you so much Professor. I better get going, I need to grab Danny and we need to get the heck out of here - Team Alpha is up to something and it does NOT look good at all."

"Alrighty, take care of yourself. Good luck."

Jacob hung up the phone and then pushed the image of Zangoose, a white light shooting out of the pokevice and the white and red clawed creature appearing seconds later - a look of confusion appearing on her face, not expecting to appear in front of Jacob.

"Hey there old friend, right now we don't have time to catch up but we definitely will later. For now we need to get going."

Zangoose nodded her head and then both of them took off running back to Danny, who was laying on the couch and appeared to be "sleeping," but occassionally his eyes would open.

"Danny, we need to go. Where are we going? Cinnabar Island, Indigo Plateau or are we going to stay here in Virdian and figure out what is going on with that A in the sky? Whatever we do, we need to figure it out now and get to it."

I'd like to reserve a legendary as well.

Reserved. Chabz,yI see that you edited. You forgot the history, though.Add that and you're accepted. Do you cancel your registration for a legendary since you're a ranger?

Okay I finished my edit, and I put an EDIT2 section in it that I'd like you to check out - I had a question.

Name: Amber
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Species: Latias
Appearance: Amber is a shiny Latias. This means where the markings would be red on an "average" Latias, she is a bright golden color. Her white sections are slightly brighter in color as well. Differentiating her from both shiny and normal members of her species, Amber's eyes are a deep, almost glowing purple.


Personality: On the outside, Amber is an extremely cheerful, optimistic Pokemon. She often looks on the bright side of things, and tries hard to make other people she cares about happy. She's very affectionate to her friends, and loves to cuddle. Amber is kind, and not unafraid to sacrifice her own things for others.

On the flip side, she is also what one might call a coward. Extremely timid, she has solved most of the problems in her life by running away from them or asking for others to help, and is not a good fighter. Inside, she knows this to be one of her flaws, and hates herself for it, but is again, too afraid to do anything about it. In unguarded moments, Amber reveals her truer self. Since her brother died, she has had difficulty making friends(though not from lack of effort on her part), and has felt extremely lonely. For her species, the bond between twins exceeds all others, and she knows it is a relationship she can never replace. Therefore, when alone and left to think her own thoughts, she is usually sad and lonely.

History: Latias and Latios are always born in pairs, twins, a female and a male. For this species, this one relationship supersedes all others in its importance and intimacy, greater than the bond between child and parent, friends, or mates. This is because of the psychic bond that begins to form between the two embryos in the womb, the influence of another mind so close remains a permanent structure in their minds for all of their long lives. Amber could experience everything her brother, Jacen, did from his perspective, could hear his thoughts and feel his emotions even from vast distances.

To lose a brother, or a sister, for their species, is the absolute worst wound one can inflict upon them. When they were 14, Jacen was killed by poachers outside Mauville in the Hoenn region, defending his twin sister to the last. Amber blames herself for his death.

Both of them were orphans growing up. Their father had died of an illness, a rare event among Pokemon, and their mother died of grief only one short year after Amber and Jacen hatched from their eggs, simply losing the will to live, going to sleep and not waking up again. For the longest time, Jacen had been Amber's only constant companion and protector. They traveled throughout the world, exploring new places and regions, making many friends along the way but never staying in one place for too long, yet never meeting another one of their species. Their lifestyle, however, was just a tad bit too open. When poachers finally caught up to the pair, Jacen threw himself onto the barrel of a shotgun to buy his sister time to escape. Escape she did, but she feels that it may have been better if she hadn't.

Since Jacen's death, Amber has become slightly more of a risk-taker, sometimes deliberately throwing herself into life-threatening situations, caring less about her own safety. Yet her cowardly nature often takes over, and she runs when the situation gets too untenable. Thanks to the Latias ability to become invisible or take on the form of a human for a short amount of time, she often flits in and out of the dangerous cities. So far she has avoided being spotted, but a new technology in the form of a pair of glasses has enabled humans to spot her while disguised…
Shiny or Normal: Shiny
RP Sample: (will edit, as Pokecommunity keeps crashing on me)

@Lusankya: Accepted. You dont need an RP Sample becauseI know from the short time you spent roleplaying in Through Our Eyes: Pokemon Adventure that you wont go under four lines. You're more trustworthy with that than I am. Tell all of your friends!

@Chabz: You're Accepted! Tell all of your friends! Yes, you can have a legendary. Which is it?

Lugia will replace Scizor. Thanks! Can't wait to start the RP! =]

Thanks! Now just to wait for more people to sign up...

Name: Volt

Age: 11

Gender: Male

Species: Pikachu

Appearence: Volt, a shiny Pikachu, is pretty much your average (shiny) Pikachu, except for his cheeks, which are orange. Anyways, being a shiny, Volt himself is orange.



Personality: Volt is... kinda different from the rest. On the outside he's a really pessimistic and depressed Pokemon. He really doesn't show that he cares about anyone else, and he doesn't want to be friends with anyone, fearing that they might get hurt, thanks to him.

But if you look closely enough, Volt really wants friends, and he wants to have fun! Unfortunately, he's really a pessimist. Although he doesn't admit it, Volt is unusually adept at battling. Perhaps this is because of his past?...

History: Suprisingly enough, Volt grew up in a caring, loving family. His parents still live today, and they weren't captured or anything. How could Volt have become a uncaring pessimist?

It was because of his own actions. About 6 years ago, Volt was unsurpassed in fighting prowess. Nobody in his village could defeat him. So, a request from an outsider asked him to participate in a fighting competion. But, to his parent's dismay, Volt declined. He realized that he didn't want to fight for rewards, he wanted to fight to protect his friends and village. Unfortunately, this made his village begin to look down upon him as a coward.

Thus, Volt went into a state of depression and isolation.

Shiny or Normal: Shiny

Other: Volt has an extreme weakness for sweets. Coincidentally, one of his strengths, is well, eating sweets.

and...

Kiba the Wolf

RP Sample:

(This is from one of Lusankya's RP's, The Final Level.)

"Welcome to the game."

"Ugh..." Pika sat up, his vision blurry. Scratching his head, Pika began to wonder what had become of his nice, cozy camp and how it had been replaced with this menancing metalic room.

Standing up, Pika's cheeks began to spark.

"Wait... that means that there's something powered by electricity nearby... But why would there be anything here?"

Pika tried stepping forward.

Instead, he was greeted with a gun turret slamming into his forehead.

Bam.

Dazed, Pika could have sworn that there was some kind of beeping noise coming from behind him.

Then he looked.

15... 14... 13...

"A-a timer? What is this? Just give me tim-"

Pika was cut off by several bullets pounding the ground inches away from his feet.

Then it hit him.

It's either life or death. That is all.

Looking at the gem hanging on his neck, he whispered,

"Please, grant me your power. I want to survive!"

The sphere hovered in the air for a moment, then glowed a brilliant green.

Then he ran. Nothing but a blur being chased down by bullets going faster than the eye can see, Pika focused all of his energy and will into running...

...5...4...3...2.......

Desperately running for dear life, he could finally see the exit! Not caring about anything else, he leaped forward.

...1...

Crunch.

Leaves? How could there be leaves in the... forest?

"Where am I? Why am I here?" Pika had just began to panic.

Wishing for an answer, Pika looked up, and was blinded by the light coming through from inbetween the leaves.

This couldn't be an ordinary forest, not after what Pika had seen from earlier. Pika finally decided to sit down and think...

A loud, booming voice came from nowhere, startling the exausted Pokemon.

"Welcome, players! We appreciate your participation in The Game! For those of you who have just passed Level One, congratulations! For those of you who have not passed Level One, we apologize for the great deal of pain and suffering you must be feeling right now. That is, if you are still alive enough to hear me."

This... is a game? What kind of cruel creature would do this for his own enjoyment?

His pondering was soon interrupted by the mysterious voice.

"The Game is simple. Survival until a certain point allows you to proceed to the next level. Death means you lose."

"As for rules, there are very few, and most of them are for you to find out on your own. Certain actions will be looked upon favorably and increase your score, and some may allow you to proceed to the next level. Death or injury will subtract from your score. On occasion, we may provide you with helpful advice to guide the way. For example, fire is hot. Do not touch it unless you wish to be burned. On other occasions, a helpful pixie may appear to point you in the right direction. That is all for the moment."

"Now, are you ready for Level 2?"

Shimmy on over to the accepted list, and check it out! :)

Name: Xylon
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Species: Kingaler
Appearence: As with most shiny kingaler where there is normaly red its a drak green color. The only differnce is he has two large pincers in stead of one.
Personality: Normaly he is lazy and sleeping, but is always alert to whats around him. But when he feels that danger threntens him and his friends he is pushed in to an uncontrolable rage so powerful that the only way to calm him down is to wait for him to calm down himself. After wards he has no mermory what happened.
History: The last time this rage thing happened every one around him was killed, by him. And not just the things that threntend him but his friends too. The first time this happened(an this is kind of the reason too) some pochers killed his mom, dad and all 45 of his brothers and sisters. This caused the first of only five times that this rage thing happened.Another thing that happens is he can only see what happened that first time.
Shiny or Normal: Shiny
Other: He usaly travaels alone, and away from anywhere there are pokemon or humans.
RP sample: This is from one of the other rp's i am in. hope it's good enough:
"Well isn't that intersting," Xaki said. He creaped his hand around to the pouch under him and pulled out a small water sack and said "I need some water, even Fire types need some small amount of water." Of course it wasn't water in that sack, it was moo moo milk. He didn't think that little trick would fool them so he chuged it down choking on some. Xaki felt compleately revitalized and leaped into the air. He landed about tewnty feet away and called out "I am an Undercover and my name is Xaki. And now I bid you fair well." After that he took off at incredable speed. He had to find Nim. That was his last friend.

Accepted. God dang twenty five character minimum. =P

Uhh...Never been in a Pokémon Roleplay. But I'll do my best to fill in the Application. If you require more, PM me.

Name: Chris
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Species: Chikorita (Were you expecting anything less :laugh:)
Appearance: Slightly smaller than most Chikorita but has a Largely Dominating Leaf to cover up for it.
Personality: Chris is usually Laid back when he senses no Trouble. But if he hears a Poacher approach, he will not back down to stepping aside so easily.
History: Chris was always the 'Lone Wolf' type. He usually lived alone. If he detected a Shiny in Danger, Chris was always there to Shield it. The whole Reason he started protecting Shinies was after giving a Shiny Rattata time to flee from a Poacher. After realising what Poachers were, Chris swore to himself to defend as many Shiny Pokémon as he possibly could. No matter how much Damage he took, he would fight on to the end.
Shiny or Normal: Normal
Other: Like I said, Chris is a Lone Wolf. But fights like one as well.
RP Sample: Umm...I don't know what to put here. From any Previous RP, make one up or from a Previous Pokémon-Related RP. Please Pend me and I'll try to deal with that ASAP. Oh, and give an Answer to my Question Please. Via PM if Necessary.

Edit at 23:43: Huh...I thought I put a RP Sample here. It must have been removed when the PokéCommunity went under Temporarily. Oh well...Like I said last time, it's Partially Remembered and Partially made up:

Foxy nested in the Tall Green Grass, content that everything was fine. She thought that their Ancestors picked a Lovely spot for their Haven. There was plenty of Land, Large Shady areas etc. Foxy closed her eyes, sure that nothing was wrong. But she thought Wrong. Little did she know that the Dangers coming would cause an Infinite Bodycount if she and the others did not act soon. Little did she know that Snowflake was the only Answer to Averting the Incoming Crisis...

Well, that's as much as I can think of right now. Hopefully it tickles your Fancy. If not, tell me and I'll extend it or think of something else.

:t152:

Ok here it goes!

Name: Tavil
Age: 35
Gender: Male
Species: Arcanine
Appearence: Everything about Tavil doesent quite meet the status quo of the common Arcanine. And there is one thing that sticks out like a sore thumb. Tavil's fur is a piercing shade of gold, making him what most Pokemon specialist call "shiny". Along with this Glamorous hide, Tavil's mane and tail are a tad more bushy than the average Arcanine. Tavil's sharp yet short teeth, are framed by gleaming, fire red eyes. Tavil is one of the most glorious looking pokemon in all of Sinnoh.

Personality: Despite Tavil's beautiful appearance, he thinks nothing of it. Survival is the onlything in the mind of this rare pokemon. Constantly on the move avoiding poachers, this Arcanine has been hardened by his treacherous past, and fears his own future. Tavil has known no true home, and knows nothing of love, making him a less agreeable person than an angry Tyranitar. Unfortunately this makes it hard for him to find one whom he truly cares for, and vice - versa.
History: Tavil's history is a dangerous mix of brutality, and depression. Nothing more than a mere glimmer of hope is all he knows of happiness. As a pup Tavil was seperated from his mother when they were both captured by a team of poachers and haled of in a small truck that smelled of fish (to this day Tavil hates fish). When the poachers opened their mobile cell, Tavil and his mother were ready and desperately leaped over there captor's heads and made a run for a near by forrest. Many shots were taken, all of them misses as the two pokemon sped away. Just as the two were about to find refuge within the lush forest foliage, a speeding bullet pierced through Tavil's mother.... Killing her.

After finally finding security within the interior of a hollowed log, Tavil softly cried himself to sleep. Unable to free himself of the thought of his mother's unreasonable death, and their disgustingly immoral captives. He first thought these memories would pass, instead he forgot the time with his mother, and could not escape the devastating poachers that persistently hunt him. Not a single dream since the death of his mother has not been tainted with sanity threatening memories and thoughts. Making him the hardened pokemon he is today.
Shiny or Normal: Shiny
Other: Because of all of his close encounters, Tavil has slightly heightened senses and abilities, compared to the average Arcanine. Not because he is shiny but because of the unintentional training from encounters with poachers.
