SCHEDULES are for people who like SCHEDULES!

Hey, I'm new to the forum here and I need a place that lets me learn what to do here... may I join this RP of nightmares and monsters? Please?

For learning the site, I'd recomend the adoption center over in the new users/welcome section of the forum, but we'd be glad to have you.

Alright, I'll do my best!
Name: Lavender

Age: 11

Sex: Male

Appearance: Short, hunched, and with bad personal hygiene Lavender is a creepy looking child. He wears a dusty brown shirt and pants so holey they may as well not be there. He wears a mask identical to a Bisharp's face and walks with a limp. He has short brown hair and a scar on the back of his neck. No one knows what his face truly looks like under his mask, but it's generally accepted he only has one eye. He has blades sticking from his ribcage that elongate when in battle. His one eye is green and his hair is cut in a bowl-style. He's shorter than most.

Personality: Lavender is a mentally damaged child. He speaks softly, if he even speaks at all, and has blades that stick out from his chest. He is consistently paranoid and depressed. He is deathly terrified of heights and fire, as well as his pokespirit. He never fights himself, as his pokespirit never gives him the chance. He is, however, very smart and crafty. He can use various tools for anything he sets his mind to and, due to his silent nature, shortness, and constant paranoia, is excellent at stealth, much to Bisharp's chagrin. He does also have a soft spot for objects like stuffed animals though, as he has known them not to assault him when he speaks. He strives not for pity though and despises the thought of anyone accompanying him.

History: Born in Black City, Unova, he lived there for five years. He never knew his father, but various sources say he had died during an attack by raiders. His mother loved him though and kept him close until, when he was three at the foot of Mt. Coronet, they were attacked by wild cannibals. His mother died by their hands but in a last desperate attempt to save her son she hid him in a wrecked car, resulting in his Pokespirit being assigned, albeit without being able to speak to the child. He was later discovered by raiders, who went on dragging him along on their travels. He lost an eye during an beating caused by a group of slaves escaping being blamed on him. He was always silent to those who spoke to him, due to fear of another beating. It was 8 years later during an escape attempt at Mount Coronet, when his Pokespirit became vocal, when he learned the truth of his mother. Needless to say, he was not happy, and killed those who'd taken him in a blind fury, much to Bisharp's delight. The killing was not without it's effects however; in the assault his leg had been badly damaged by fire resulting in aforementioned limp and fear of fire, his psyche took a hard dive and he suffers from deep depression. After escaping he learned how truely alone he was now, with only his vengeful pokespirit to keep him company.

Pokéspirit
Species: Bisharp

Nickname: Valka

Personality: Stern and disciplined, he believes that pain is weakness leaving the body and that violence is always the correct answer. He only follows the laws because it was Arceus himself who gave it to him. He despises the child he was forced to bond with, and is VERY vocal about it. Bisharp LOVES fighting more than he does making others feel terrible.

Moves: Cut, Scary Face, Torment, Swords Dance, Guillotine, and Revenge

Other: Terrified of fire

Opening Post: A cave, a cave was the perfect place to hide himself. A perfect place to grow stronger, to train and conquer all his own. He slowly limped inside, hearing the water drip from the ceiling as he felt himself nag. "There are no fighters in here!" He heard his spirit shout at him. "We can't HIDE ourselves away! We can't let our enemies think of how INCOMPETENT WE ARE, YOU STUPID CHILD!" Bisharp continued. Lavender winced at his anger, continually wishing to himself that he would find another target to unload upon before his next battle. The caves seemed to wind on and on as they found themselves going deeper into the proverbial belly of the beast.

EDIT 1: EXPANDING CERTAIN CATEGORIES BASED ON SUGGESTION
EDIT 2: MORE OF THE SAME
EDIT 3: FINISHING TOUCHES

@IceFyr: The adoption/mentoring program was shut down rather recently I'm afraid.

@StinkomanFan: Hmm... Welcome to the Roleplay Corner! Glad you decided to join us. Now, what you have so far isn't bad. I'd like to recommend the rather obvious room for improvement however. You should add more content! Especially the personality and history section. It's my belief that if you properly develop your character you'll have more fun playing them. That being said, you should also know that there's a minimum post length of 100 words. Your Opening post was 113 words, but you should be aware that that's a Roleplay Corner wide rule so you don't get in trouble. (This only counts for IC posts, of course)

That being said, I do have some basic suggestions for developing your sign-up. Where did your character grow up? Which city, that is? Did they ever move? What was his relationship with his parents before said incident? Any noteworthy occurances in all those years? How did he get along with the others around him? Lastly, how did all that effect his personality? Get creative and think it all out. Use creative language if you have to.

Alright, I added and adjusted certain parts of my characters' repetuar repeatour repatooar reptar bio.

I wonder if the end of this RP is finding the Azure Flute and maybe challenging Arceus? (Was on the wiki today and found the flute's article)

@Khawill: That would be a bit crude for Fallout's standards, don't you think?~

@Stinkoman: Alright. We made some progress, but conclusively not enough. First thing's first. The personality section is still very, very short by PC's standards. (Also, why does a boy whose pokespirit fusion would doubtlessly give him super-blades over his entire body carry something as flimsy as a razor around?)

Your personality is currently 41 words long. Aim for 150 at a bare minimum.

Your history also has several... oddities in it. You don't explain why cannibals took him in rather than do what cannibals are predisposed towards doing and eating him. Such an odd action deserves an explanation don't you think? I also feel like perhaps you've misunderstood the setting of the RP, being a world where electrical technology is completely gone and medicine has been set back to medeival times. (Therefore, artificial insemination is not something that happens.)

It's also fair to say that with so hilariously little food to begin with making alcohol should be taking a backseat to not dying. Therefore, finding enough alcohol to get drunk off of is likely both extremely difficult and impractical. (Unless you're a very successful cannibal or a pokespirit wielder known for eating normally inedible things like dirt, wood, and rock in which case you do not have a shortage of food to begin with.)

Alright then, I think I believe that I may have bitten a bit more than I can chew with this RP. I apologize for having bothered the lot of you. I'll try to work on a different RP that I can hopefully understand more easily. I thank you for your co-operation however.

She's not saying you should leave, she's just trying to help you create a well-rounded character. It's really not as complex as it seems, and really, most RP GameMasters are going to tell you that you will need larger personality categories than what you have. It just takes practice.

Ah, OK. So this is one of those "You just can't sign up instantly" thingies, that I've got to work on it for a long while. That would've been nice to know when I started... But alright then, I'll get to work on it, if you have any more advice just PM me, OK?

Khawil.... That's kinda what I was thinking, but instead of the azure flute I was more or less thinking of the lustrous adamant and grisious orbs. That could be our quest, or perhaps everyone then finds out about this and wants to eb the hero, making every poke spirit wielder go after the orbs or something like that. Also, there is the possibility of uxie mesprit and azelf appearing? without them the world would have no emotion, knowledge or willpower at all, perhaps an encounter with them at celestic ruins? This is just an idea, but this could effect everyone in the rp, unless it's kept secret between charecters. Idk what does everyone else think?

also stink (if I may) can't wait to see what your charector turns out like! (p.s it was like that with me signing up :D)

Well what if the "flute" is actually a person? To make it more Fallout friendly, we can kill people until we find the person! Also I think the way our characters come upon this lies in various inscriptions, texts, and clues around the region.

hmm I'll wait to see wjhat other people ave to say

Why would the flute be a person, though? Or, how? I mean, the flute does look something like a heart, but why would a human harbor, or even be, an object that can almost literally open the gates of Heaven?

@Machomuu: Tut. Tut. Now those are some interesting questions I'd love to see answered. Regardless--It's true that I've been forced to make plans in order to accommodate other RPers in Fallout, but I originally had no plan of how the RP would end. None. Nada. Heck, if some of you recall I hadn't even finished my characters by the time the RP was ready to start. |D The original intention was that the /players/ decide how it ends, and I fully intended to take a back seat and let others try to work out an end to the RP as merely someone to keep things from getting hostile and unfriendly.

That has changed of course. I have made plans regarding a possible end to the RP as a cautionary measure in the event nobody really /wants/ to take those reigns, however in the spirit of the RP I'm still open to the idea of letting other people play dungeon master. That being said, you should /totally/ exercise your mind and come up with ideas. Run them past me if you feel like they might conflict with Fallout's preset setting, but otherwise I'd be perfectly fine letting you guys help to come up with a plot worthy of ending the RP.

Second edit is done, but I think I may need to write more on Bisharp's when the time comes.

The "flute" (in quotes) is someone who is the perfect candidate for kissing god's bum, and obviously the person isn't an object to open the gates, merely the person to knock on the door!

Anyways, I'm just shooting ideas, a fragment quest could be a good way to start interactions amoung roleplayers

Edit* I'm bringing this up for consideration because I could start the quest on victory road, it would be a side quest for now to the main one my character is doing.

So then that raises another question: Would this character actually be human? I could see them being part human and part...celestial being, as that would give them a reason to have any association with Arceus, and thus, having a reason to be able to contact Arceus in some way, shape or form.

Well, angels were written in for a reason you know.

What angels are you referring to?

Well, I'm talking about Angels in general. Be it from the bible itself or from culture angels are written as a way for god to communicate to the common folk while still being able to remain mysterious. I hope I didn't sound condescending. I do that sometimes... :s

It is possible that Arceus could have created an angel to communicate with the humans, I could see that being the case. It would work great in terms of the legendary "Azure Flute" being...well...a legend. If it is one, that is. I'm not sure if it is acknowledged by the characters of the game or not. If the flute itself is indeed a legend, then I'd say that we could consider making the angel a fallen angel (or an angel that has watched over the planet many years).

Regardless of whether it is a legend or not, I think that an angel would fit well as the "Azure Flute"; it's well within Arceus' power and makes enough logical sense to exist, especially given the current state of the world.

No its a human. Sort of like the "Chosen" one. Maybe they blow an actual flute at the Mt. Coronet peak, Arceus lets that person (and those accompanying him/her) into his domain, just like in the game.

Quick question~ Since I left PC I havn't really gotten into details from wht happened in this RP, so like, do pokemon still exist in Fallout orr like yes?
