How's this:

Name |
Toby Li​

Age |
16​

Gender |
Male​

Starter |
Shinx, Male, Thunder Fang​


Appearance |
Toby has very short black hair and light brown eyes. He has a copper tinted tan but despite having all of these Native American traits Toby has a very scrawny build thanks to the fact that his parents trained hum to be a healer his whole life. Currently his favorite outfit is a traditional shaman apprentice uniform, a pure white robe with a hood. He also wears a pair of average boring old moccasins. His travel uniform contains a thin white shirt with black shorts and a single green vine for a belt as his father used to wear.​


Personality |
Toby has always been very enthusiastic about Pokémon research. He is always loyal towards his friends (Pokémon and Human) but he does tend to trip up when someone offers him "a better deal". That being said he tends to be quite gullible but when learning he listens precisely and with all seriousness. And lastly, thanks to his parent's want of him becoming the hero of legend he has chosen to never try to be the hero and instead be who he wants to be.​


History |
Toby was born in the land of Marjat surrounded by Pokémon at birth he was always fascinated by all of them. Except for one specific type, Electric types terrified him just as much as thunder during a storm. This was until the day that a small young Shinx came to his parents' healing center, as was their trade, with a broken paw. Toby's parents had always dreamed of their son being the hero of legend so at the age of 8 his parents gave him the Shinx once it was fully healed of its injury. At first he was quite afraid of the little Flash Pokémon. That was until the day that his village was attacked by a horde of fire spewing Arcanines. While Toby and his family were treating the ill his Shinx ran at the storm of Legendary Pokémon attempting to help. Seeing his bravery and loyalty to his trainer's friends and family the wild Pokémon of the area fought these monsters back into the forest. At the age of 12 Toby and his family had to move to Kalay to search for some special minerals that could be used for healing purposes.

When they got there Toby immediately noticed the large sanctuary and wanted to go inside. However, as he walked up to it an elderly shaman walked out and, noticing the young boy, stopped him immediately and told him that a very powerful stone resided in there making it very dangerous to even attempt to go inside. Seeing Toby's confusion the shaman apologized if he had scared him and sent him on his way to his family's teepee where his parent's were waiting for him. At 13 years of age this very Shaman came to him and offered to teach him the history of the land of Tobyan. Toby immediately accepted the offer and he started to learn many things.

However, one certain set of lessons that always fascinated him were about the six medallions. He loved to hear of the Dendo and its great speed, of Kusa and its life eternal, of Kasai and its terrifying flames, of Mizu and its soul healing powers, of Seishin and its unknown magic, and of Gosuto and its ability to visit the dead. The one that he found to be the greatest was Dendo all because of the fact that upon hearing that name his Shinx suddenly sprang up as if filled with new energy.

And now at 16 years old Toby will start his journey into the world of Pokémon!

Wow, this one is filling up fast.

Name: Amos Jackson-Unganya
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Starter:

Appearance: One of Amos' most striking qualities is that, despite dressing like and identifying himself as a Rancher, he has definite native Tobyan qualities about him. His skin and wavy hair which is kept long in the back are what seem to be a moderately diluted shade of what would be typical of a native Tobyan. His eyes are light brown and even have the faintest trace of the typical shape of the native's eyes.

For a Rancher, Amos' is considerably daintier than most of his kin. While the work he does manages to keep him in shape, he is nowhere near most of the other Rancher boys in terms of muscle mass. Amos stands 5' 9", also making him not quite as tall as other Rancher boys. In short, if one were to compare Amos and another Rancher side-by-side, it would appear as if Amos was a boy merely dressed as a Rancher, and not an actual laborer.

Amos' usual garb consists of a light blue cotton long-sleeved collared button-up shirt, a black vest, rugged brown pants, typical cowboy boots, and of course his treasured black cowboy hat.

Personality: Amos is a boy in search of splendor. He believes the day-to-day routine of work and sleep to be mundane. He finds the ranches and community of his home to be boring and uninteresting. He has no motivation for the labor the life of a Rancher requires, though he begrudgingly does as he is told. The wide world, however, with its open roads, new faces, varied towns, and wondrous Pokemon compels him. He is a boy filled with curiosity for what the larger world before him holds, and one intent on exploring whatever it is. To Amos, getting out into the open world is the greatest thing one can do, and he glorifies the idea of being an adventurer.

Wanderlust is not all that defines Amos, though. Amos is also the definition of a rebellious streak. Along with his poor attitude towards work, Amos does not seem to have much of a sense of the strong sense of family common among Ranchers, indeed seeming to go to lengths to distance himself from his family. Disobedience and lack of respect for rules make Amos a prime troublemaker. Amos greatly values individuality, but this makes him become angry at attempts to reign him in, even if it is for his own good.

History: Amos was born in Kuroko Gulch within a large family of long-time Ranchers. Unlike most Rancher families, who, at least in the early days of settlement, married only other Ranchers or other foreigners, Amos' was on of the few to have a member who married a native. That didn't make the family popular, but the times of Amos' family being openly shunned were long ago, before the family set down roots and became an established part of the community.

As a young boy, Amos listened to the stories of his great grandmother, the member of his family with the most native blood. She told him tales of the great rolling hills and plains of green of her homelands. The landscapes relayed through story seemed so foreign to Amos, despite his great grandmother's assurance that such sights were not even far from the ranch within Kuroko Gulch. She died before Amos was even ten years old of natural cause, but her stories lived on within him, and probably were what incited his love towards the open world.

As early as the age of six, Amos began to wander beyond the family property. Starting with the fence that marked the edge of his family's property under the watchful eye of a sibling, to wandering to the edge of the Kuroko Gulch as he got older. Not unexpectedly, this gave his family quite the scare time and time again. Many times he was told of the danger of going too far, especially at night as he sometimes did, and many times he was punished for doing so. The reprimands never truly stopped him, though.

Between his running off there was work to be done at home. Amos' work started barely strenuous in early years, barely considered work at all as opposed to providing minor assistance to siblings. But as the years went on, the level and intensity of work Amos was expected to do increased. It did not take the boy long to decide that he did not care for it. As often as he could, he would shirk off work, sometimes even commencing one of he wanderings as there were things to be done. This, of course, did not make Amos considered to be any more responsible by his family, and regular reprimands continued. Once again, the punishments often did little to dissuade Amos of his ways.

As Amos grew, so did his nerve to talk back to people in authority. It wasn't long before Amos made himself into a regular problem child. Constantly not doing as he is told and talking back when being he is questioned of it. There was growing friction between Amos and the rest of his family. Of course, deep down, they all still loved one another, but Amos' digressions became hard not to notice. His parents and elders were disappointed in him for his inability to live up to expectations, and his siblings grew angry at him for creating more work for them and the stress caused by Amos' shouting matches with his parents.

Then, one day, Amos decided that he had enough. Though, perhaps decided is not exactly the proper term. Amos made way off of his family's property early one morning, which was not uncommon of him. Usually, he would go to the edge of town, meditate for awhile, then return home before anyone was awake enough to question him. This time, however, Amos kept going. There were a handful of times where Amos went beyond the borders of Kuroko Gulch, but he normally didn't go far. Clearly, this was not a normal time, as Amos continued far beyond where he had ever gone before. Then he kept on walking, until his home was far, far behind him.

One afternoon, a lone Swablu was riding the air currents far above some woods, woods that had already grown dark in the afternoon light. It swooped down, getting a closer look at the woods. Then, it saw something quite unusual, a lone human, crouched in a small clearing. Curious, the Pokemon landed on a nearby branch. It could hear that the human was crying, and it could feel a great feeling of distress emanating from it. Amos, meanwhile, was hopelessly lost, contemplating that folly of his mad walk. He found himself in the middle of an unfamiliar wood, no doubt filled with dangerous Pokemon who would soon be around to eat him. He soon detected a presence near him, and turned about wildly to come eye to eye with a Pokemon. His first reaction was panic, but as he scrambled away from the creature he came to see that it didn't appear threatening at all. The boy and the Swablu stared at one another for several minutes, both intensely curious of one another. Then suddenly a loud roar emanated through the woods, terrifying Amos and noticeably startling the Swablu. It made a few noises at Amos before taking off, staying unusually low to the ground. Bewildered and with no better idea, Amos followed the Pokemon. In no time the two found themselves outside the woods, unscathed. From there Amos hugged the Swablu, which it seemed none too pleased with, and then both went their separate ways, or at least they seemed to. Amos began to head out in what he could only hope was the direction of a town. Little did he know a certain Swablu was following not too far behind, though very high above.

Amos eventually found himself outside Kalay, more specifically at the home of some woodcutters a ways outside town. Curious as to why one would be out wandering the roads alone, the woodcutters approached Amos and asked who he was and what he was doing. Not yet willing to face up for his running away, Amos invented a tale of how he was much older than he actually was and was in search of work. This plan backfired when the woodcutters then hired him on, offering him board and pay in exchange for his services. Not wanting to betray the ruse, Amos accepted, though he resolved that he would only go along with it for a little bit, until he found out how he wanted to proceed. It has been two years since then.

The constant duplicity weighed heavily on Amos, morphing him into a near compulsive liar. He felt guilty, as he thinks he has been taking advantage of the woodcutter's hospitality, but tries to reason that it's okay because he is working for them in exchange, and Amos does do the work, with more drive than he ever had at home, but the thought of that makes Amos question his character to a point where he doesn't think about it. He considered many times dropping everything and leaving, just as he had done with his family. Then he remembers the woods, and how lonely, lost, and afraid he felt. Other times Amos has also thought of telling the truth and returning to his family, but it is fear that holds him from doing it. Amos can barely stand the thought of his family, how worried they must have been after he left, how distraught they must be now that it has been so long since he did, how angry they would be if they found out he only left because of his selfishness. So Amos has remained with the woodcutters in conflict with himself and between indecision. The Swablu, which had allowed itself to be captured by Amos after it showed up not long after Amos had taken the job, is just about the only thing keeping him sane, the nonjudgmental Pokemon being the only thing Amos feels he can be completely honest with.

Munna is still available I believe, so.. I guess you two can decide if you want Swablu or Munna, or.. not?

Otherwise, I'd have to based this off of your SUs (which i'll fully read tomorrow morning) and choose from there.

Here's my SU. Its kinda rushed since almost everything is taken already. XD
Hope ya like it. :)


Name | Avian D'rakal

Age | 15

Gender | Male

Starter | Munna (female) + Shadow Ball

Appearance | Avian's height is 5'0". He has a fit phisique because of the life he has. His skin tone is in the middle of pale and dark. He has a clean face. His eyes are black, and he has a messy black hair. He usually wears wears a brown sleeveless shirt and pants made of leather, and he is also usually bare footed. He also has a fur cape at his back when going to long journeys. He wears no other accessories.

Personality | You might thought that Avian has a brave personality, but the truth is he is more that of the timid type. He is easily frightened. He does not want to go in dark places alone, but with company, he feels relieved. He just hides this personality of his because he needs to. He needs to brave the challenges along the way to reach his goal.

Avian don't know how to train and make friends with pokemon even though he always encounters them everyday. The only thing he knows to do with pokemon is use them for his own gain, and to make his works easier. He don't care how the pokemon feels. That might be a bad personality, but because of that personality of his, his Munna grown into a tough pokemon.

History |
Spoiler:


Other | None :)

Hm...actually, I'll withdraw my reservation. It's not so much because of lack of interest but rather because I want to see where it will go with someone else. And...well, because I'm not exactly sure of the direction I want to take with the SU, and it's better that the space remain open for someone with ideas in place than for me who's brainstorming.

Also erm, I read the rules and the game mechanics, and they both contradict each other at one point. So just to get this straight, are we allowed to capture Pokemon ourselves, or do we need your approval? Also, since we all live in Kalay, surely we must have some kind of knowledge of each other? :p

Anyway, SU BELOW; (to be completed in the very near future!)

Name | Samantha "Sam" Harjo

Age | 17

Gender | Female

Starter | Misdreavus, Female; Egg/TM Move: Aerial Ace

Appearance | Sam is on the higher scale of the average height sector for a 17 year old, being 5'7", and her weight is... well, I guess average to her height. Sam's skin is just like anyone in the majority of Tobyan - perfect caramel tan shaped through years of playing and living under the stubborn hot climate. Hair-wise Sam has a distinctive yet modest bowl-cut-kinda fringe with straight bangs alongside and long, flowing black hair behind (think Maya Fey from Ace Attorney). Her eyes have a chocolatey-brown colour and there's a slight cut on the right side of her lip. Her physique isn't macho but Sam does possess 'muscles' on her legs and arms because of her active lifestyle.

Concerning clothing Sam just wears whatever that fits comfortable with her, whether it may be a male or female apparel.

(What kind of clothes do people in Tobyan wear? I'm guessing like Native American stuff but it would be great to hear more details. Thaaaanks o 3o)

Personality | Sam brims with confidence, and she doesn't let anyone or anything take her ego down.

History | (you can be born anywhere in Tobyan, but you have to have lived in Kalay for at least the last few years. You can talk about how you first met your first pokemon, why you've become a pokemon trainer to go on the race to collect the medallions, etc )

Theme | Up on a hill, is where we begin, this little story, a long time ago...

@Scyke - I don't understand how that error came about, but, I meant to change that.. earlier; you're allowed to capture pokemon without approval, and I'd decide on the initial level, pretty much.

Anyway, I've read the SUs up to this point;

@amerininja - Alrighty, I'll accept you as Shinx, just as long as you're active!

@The Noob Hacker - Are you sure you still want to stick with Swablu (on account on someone reserving it first) Because if not, Munna and Staryu is still available~ Other than that, your SU is pretty much excellent!

@kosuke - your History and appearance is pretty much okay, but try to flesh out your character's personality more; other than him being timid... how does he interact with pokemon? That, pretty much.

[ Piper McAdam ]


Name | Piper McAdam

Age | 19

Gender | Female

Started | Shae | Petilil | F | +Ingrain




Appearance | Piper is a cowgirl through and through, the large cowboy hat on her head is the first thing that hints to that. She wears a buttoned thick brown skirt often seen on the few active female ranchers about. The buttons are undone for easier Ponyta riding, with a thin underskirt to ensure modesty. Piper wears a simple cream blouse, sleeves usually rolled up, a lavender neck scarf, very light and simple, and a pair of cowboy boots on her feet. She has a sturdy belt around her waist with two big bags for supplies and a lasso on her right side. Normally she'd carry the rest of her stuff in saddlebags, but since she doesn't have the money for a Ponyta she also has a satchel-bag for bigger supplies.

Physically Piper is not a big girl, she's 1.65m tall and weighs very little due to a combination of borderline malnourishment and a physically heavy life. This does allow her to even ride the smaller Ponyta, as her weight is rarely a burden. She has a straight figure, with barely any breasts or hips to speak of. She has a small round face, with brown eyes, thin lips, and a small upturned nose. Her skin is light, spotted with freckles, and prone to burning, which is where the hat and sleeves come in handy. Her hair is strawberry blonde and wavy, but she usually keeps it tied up in a braid for convenience. Though her size (and, for most, her gender) might make her look weak, Piper has thick muscles hidden beneath the clothing. She is very proficient as a cowgirl and one does not succeed in that line of work without the strength to back it up. Her thighs are strong from riding and her arms from doing lifting a d handling cattle. Piper can hold her own quite well, thank you.





Personality | Piper is stubborn as a Tauros. Tell her she can't do something, she will. Start something and she will finish it. If she sets her mind to something she's like a dog with a bone, she simply won't let go. Someone once told her she couldn't be a cowgirl, and so she became one. She's fierce and hot-headed, not one to forget or forgive an insult. Piper couldn't give a Ratata's ass about acting like a lady. She wears her modest skirt because she has to, as a legitimate rancher, but she's not afraid to hike it past (gasp!) her knees, and she'd just as soon change it for a nice pair of pants if she had the chance.

Besides being a stubborn hothead Piper is also very impulsive. She has very little preservation instinct and often chases whims and damns the consequences. This has gotten her in a lot of trouble before but she's too stubborn to learn from it. She's young and with that comes that strange feeling of invincibility. One unfortunate characteristic is that Piper's racist. She's always been taught that the Indians were barbaric and cruel people who raided the Rancher's cattle, and then after her father's death it was truly cemented. Indians were despicable and it was a good thing the Ranchers had taken their land. Truth be told, they frightened her, even if in all her life she'd only seen one or two from afar.

Piper has always been one of the boys at the ranch, and the boys have rubbed off on her too. She's loud, swears like a sailor, and burps freely after a meal. She'd be a disgrace to many an uptight rancher family around. She does have a way with Pokémon though, no one can deny that. She's always had a gift for handling them and approaching them.





History | Piper was born to John and Annie McAdam, a family living in the Kuroku Gulch. John was a cowboy who made a modest income working for a ranch, but that did mean he was hardly ever at home. His work meant he'd be away from home for days at a time, but he was still Piper's idol. Piper had never been one for being a lady no matter how much Annie would have liked that, and it was always her dad who was the star of her life, she could spend hours listening to the stories he told about his work. When she was 6 he bought a small frail Ponyta for her so she could learn how to ride like him. Her mother didn't approve but there was no stopping little Piper from riding the Ponyta whenever she could. It started with just a slow walk but soon Piper was galloping her little Pokémon up and down the town in a frenzy. She was known was the weird McAdam's cowgirl. From that time onward she'd spend about as much time on her Ponyta as with her feet on the ground.

Whenever John was home Piper would ask him to teach her certain ranching things, like throwing a lasso and how to properly take care of both cattle and mounts. It was Piper who was hit the worst when one day John just didn't get back. One of the Tauros had shied from a wild Pokémon and ran into the woods close to a known native village. John had pursued the Tauros but he had not returned, the Indians presumed to be the cause. Piper was 13 at the time and unruly as ever. With no man to bring in the money Piper was determined to do things herself. She went up to the ranch, belong to Mr. Abernathy, and close to demanded that he take her on as a cowboy instead of her father. Of course at first he laughed her off, Mr. Abernathy had a large booming ranch, he could afford to hire the best of cowboys, why on earth would he hire an untrained girl? He did feel a certain pity for her, as he'd been on good terms with her father, and he allowed her to much out the stables for a few coppers an hour.

It wasn't much, but it bought enough food for a meager living, and Piper never gave up on her dream of becoming a cowgirl. She practiced her lassoing every day and made sure to always do her job diligently. Whenever the cowboys were at the ranch she asked them to teach her things. Most brushed her off, but there were always one or two guys who'd have the time and kindness to help her. Two years of plaguing later Abernathy finally agreed to let her on as underpaid worker, to try out her skills. She always made sure to work twice as hard as the men, and her gift with Pokémon was certainly an asset. She became one of the guys and the regulars didn't think twice about the fact that she was a girl. All the work also evolved her Ponyta into a Rapidash and she couldn't be happier. Of course, such happiness couldn't last.

When she had just turned 19 Mr. Abernathy died of a sudden heart attack. Having no sons to inherit his property it went to his brother, who'd already owned a ranch of his own. Abernathy's brother believed a woman's place was in the house, and not on the field. He fired her promptly. He also confiscated her Rapidash, not believing it to be hers, as the ranch had its own stables filled with Rapidash for the cowboys. This broke her heart far more than losing her job. She went around knocking on any Ranch' doors looking to find work elsewhere but no one had room or faith to take her on. With money dwindling her mother decided they should pack their things and move to her sister's in Kalay, where they might find a solution to their problems. A solution that would probably be made with Piper's marriage, she knew. Her aunt Bettie was an old-fashioned person, and during her stay there their wills clashed often. Piper's only reprieve was with a small Petilil that had her mother had bought for her on the way to Kalay with the few spare coppers they'd have, when she'd seen how miserable her daughter was. But perhaps, with the help of the Pokémon, Piper might turn her future around yet.

Apologies, I was not aware of the prior reservation of Swablu. Whoever it is that reserved it can still put it as their starter in their SU, but until then I want to hang on to it, if that is of no concern. Once the person who reserved Swablu writes their SU, I'll switch. But switching at this point would be rather difficult considering Kosuke has already taken Munna and still has a chance to revise his SU and be accepted and Staryu has just been reserved again. So, for right now, I'll leave my Pokemon slot empty (however I'm not going to edit my history just yet) and decide how to proceed once all of the reservations and such are sorted out.

In the case of two or more people who reserved the same pokemon, I'm going to be looking at the quality of the SUs, and decide on the best from there. Just so you know~

Name | Castor Garnet

Age | 17

Gender | Male

Starter | Staryu (M) + Thunder



Appearance |
Castor is a Tobyan native through and though. Like most natives he has the same recognizable dark hair and skin. His eyes have an attractive nature to them and despite being brown, certain lights make his eyes appear almost red. His eyes are common along his father side of his family, making it very clear he is his son's child.

Castor stands at around 5'10, still having a few years ahead of him to grow. His build is overall fairly average for a boy his age in Tobyan. A fair amount of bulk, but nothing too freakish or really surprising in anyway.

His outfit on the onset of his journey is composed of a brown button up shirt, a pair of black pants, and a pair of red boots. He fashionable wears a black belt to his side, which has a small red sack attached to his hip which usually contains things that he would need quick access to, such as apricorns. Along the belt are small pockets which contain other small but useful items. Over his shoulders is a thick red shawl which Castor is particularly fond of, though tends to be a problem in hot environments.​



Personality |
Castor is a fiery youth. He is high energy and his life revolves around this aspect of him. He's quick to make decisions and as such is very goal focused. If he decides on something, it will happen if it has any say in it. In a way this makes him both impulsive and a bit mischievous.

His mischievous nature tends to get the best of him as the general story that occurs when he does get in trouble for his nature, he ends up having to rely on others to get him out of the situation. This has led to a number of lectures in that Castor has promptly learned to properly ignore. This shows Castor's pompous nature. When he decides something is right, he will stick to it, until he feels it's clear he is wrong. To get Castor to change his mind on in issue takes colossal force and usually is not worth it, most will say it is better to manipulate his first thoughts on an issue if you wish to get something done with him.

Castor is a man of his word, so when he tell you something, it will be his bond, regardless of how 'good' or 'bad' it may seem. If he is told to steal something, he will do it immediately or he will just reject the proposal and leave it at that. He isn't one to lie to get his way.

Because of his family history, he doesn't have a strong opinion on The Ranchers and prefers to judge them individually than as a group. That said, he has had enough bad experiences with The Rancher to prefer to stay away from them than enjoy their company.

Castor has one huge goal in life right now: to become a star in Tobyan region. He will do whatever is required to get that done.​



History |
Castor's family are natives to Wanako and originally part of the Onako tribe. Castor's was once a famous jeweler amongst them during his youth. However, over the years, the tribe began to grow dissent towards Castor's grandfather and his family because of his decision to take his gems to Dalia in order to trade sacred Onako goods. Once day, after returning to the tribe with gold and other goods purchased from The Ranchers, Castor's family were exiled from the tribe, forbidden to return to the Onako or Wanako in itself. Stripped of their name, reputation, Castor's family decided to take the name Garnet, after the jewel that has consistently brought luck into their name and they most prided themselves after. They left Wanako and decided to travel the world as nomads, trading whatever goods they got their hands off. Castor was born a generation after the exile, so he never really had an opportunity to see Wanako, in fact that land is the most mysterious to him, as he has been to the rest of Tobyan throughout his life.

Castor was born in Suijin causing a halt in his families traveling. Shortly after his birth, a local shaman came to the Garnet family and provided them a young Staryu as a gift for their fortune in having a good birth. The Shaman explained that the young Pokémon was destined for the boy and the two would make for a good pair as they grew older. He also felt it was a fitting Pokémon for the familiar garnet in the center of the Pokémon's core. The shaman's words came out to be true as the two came to be mirrors in a way. The young Pokémon proved to be highly energetic and a fiery soul, despite being a water type. It would go out of its way to cause trouble and was honestly a huge pain to the family. In addition to Castor's similar nature the two were known as a huge nuisance during their early years. However, as time went on, the two became great assets to the Garnet family.

When Castor final came to be of age, he decided to chase after the six medallions with the hope of bringing fame to his family name, as well as proving that he himself is a great person. As a child Castor was particularly gifted in his ability to calm Pokémon and while growing up his parents were able to tell that he had what it took to be a great Pokémon trainer. So when it came time that Castor came to them with his proposal, they were quick to accept, as they knew this time was coming for a long time. Castor came to his decision while his family docked in Kalay.
