Airborne: A Hoenn Journey

Intro

Welcome to the Hoenn Region, a vast tropical land, filled to the brim with exotic locations and boundless oceans. This beautiful region, created by the legendary pokémon, Groudon and Kyogre, is a treasure trove of fun and adventure just waiting for eager pokémon trainers to explore its riches.

It has been exactly fifteen years, since the legendary trainer May thwarted the nefarious schemes of Teams Aqua and Magma, which threatened the entire pokémon world. She has since been hailed as one of the greatest trainers the region had ever seen and thrived in her role as the Poké-League champion. However she has mysteriously gone missing for the past year, leaving Elite Four member, Winona, to take her place.

Regardless of the league matters, Hoenn is as prosperous as it has ever been. Today marks a special day in which a number of aspiring trainers in Rustboro City are to receive their starter pokémon... including you! The leading pokémon researcher of the region, Professor Roxanne, has promised to entrust you with a pokémon and a pokédex in return for your participation in her studies. With your starter in hand, and an entire world to explore, who knows what sort of experiences are waiting in store for you out there?

Are you ready? Your very own adventure is about to unfold! Be courageous and leap into the world of pokémon where dreams, adventures, and friendships await!

The Workings

It's been 15 years since the events of Emerald (NOT ORAS). As stated before, the pokémon champion, May, has gone missing for quite some time. Gym Leaders have come and gone with the years, technology has advanced and with it towns and cities have blossomed. Gym Leaders will, for the most part, be original NPC characters, controlled by the GM. However, you'll see a number of familiar faces around the RP :3

For the sake of not making things a pain, there will be no levels or IV/EV system. The RP will take a very anime-style approach on pokémon. Since there are no levels, the Pokemon can earn new moves whenever the roleplayer sees fit, but please be reasonable about this. Also, since there are no levels, pokémon evolution is one of the few things that must be checked for approval with the GMs. PM me first before making your pokémon evolve.

The diversity of Pokémon in Hoenn has changed dramatically over the passing years with the growing popularity of pokémon training. The release of pokémon throughout the region and daycare center have introduced different species into the ecosystems of Hoenn, making the fauna the most diverse it has ever been. Basically, there will be pokémon from all the regions available during this rp, not just the ones native to Hoenn.

You do not need the GM's approval to capture wild pokémon. However, while there may be exceptions, for the most part you are limited to catching one pokémon per route. You can go ahead and capture any pokémon in the given area that you want. Just try and be reasonable with it (making a long detailed post if the captured pokemon is rather rare or hard to catch) Available wild Pokémon, and their attacks will be in the chapter description.

This roleplay will be broken up into a multitude of chapters. Each one will have a number of different events that you may choose from, each event warranting a reward for its completion. However, there will be an overarching story that may take the place of these events. All the chapters will also have a main objective that you much complete by the end, such as making it to a certain town.

The RP will be accepting characters on a "first come-first serve" basis with a limited number of spots. Right now i'm thinking around 9, but that number may expand depending upon interest. However, because of this I will be judging a little harsher than other journey rps may be. If I don't accept your character at first, it's nothing personal and I will work with you in expanding upon your application if you'd like. :D

The starter pokémon that your character receives is up to you! However, it must be one of the 18 starter pokémon that are given out throughout the games. Also note that you may not have the same starter as any other players. If you submit an SU with the same pokémon as another player who has yet to be accepted, it will be considered a competition and I will accept whichever character I believe to be a better fit for the RP. ~~If this ever happens you could just switch your pokémon to a different one :p~~

Each starter will start off knowing four moves with a maximum of six learned at any one time. The starters may come knowing a single egg move of your choice. They may also have an ability of your choosing from the list of abilities that they can have naturally.

The Rulez

1. Follow all PokeCommunity/RPC rules and guidelines
2. The GM ruling is law :3
3. The rating is T for Teen, don't go too crazy. Leave all that for the fan fictions.
4. Try to be as active as possible. I understand that we can all be busy and such, but we gotta move on. If you won't be posting as much, let the GM know in advance. However, you will be booted off if you do not return or if you go inactive without messaging me.
5. Be respectful to one another, and have fun cause isn't that what it's all about? ~~lolno~~

Will you join me on this journey?

Cyrus Capaldi, 17, Rustboro City

Name: Cyrus Capaldi

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Appearance: Cyrus is your typical preppy school boy. He wears a nice dress shirt, tie and blazer everyday, regardless of what the day's events are. He wears glasses but when doing something more outdoorsy, such as croquet, he switches to contacts. He has big brown eyes and a charming smile that always seems just a bit crooked, as if he is hiding something. When traveling around, he carries a large bag with the strap across his chest. Inside he keep spare clothes, his badge case, food and drink, and his contact supplies.

Goals and Interests:Cyrus plans to become the next champion and prove to all that he is superior over everyone else. One of his favorite things to do is talk about his accomplishments, regardless of whether someone wants to listen. He also really enjoys walking around his family's garden, staring off into space and watching the clouds roll by.

Strengths:

- Confidence: Cyrus has never known failure. This allows to him feel like he is capable of overcoming any obstacle no matter how much the odds are stacked against him.

- Networking: Having a well known family name means having friends in all the right places. Cyrus has such friends all over that are capable of helping him and others out with various situations such as housing or food and water.

- Battling: Though he has been average in most everything he does, battling was always the one thing he seemed to have an aptitude for. Growing up, his parents made sure he knew the basics of battling. Through various tutors, Cyrus was taught every day about the techniques of battling such as attacking, defense and strategy. Though he never showed much love for it, he continued to learn what he could as it helped to strengthen his case of being superior over everyone else.

Weaknesses:

- Overconfidence: Confidence is a double-edged sword and, if allowed to grow too much, can become a detriment to a person. Cyrus has allowed his confidence to begin growing to the point where he will make irrational decisions because he thinks so highly of himself. This typically means picking fights he has no business being in, attempting feats that only professionals should be doing or even choosing not to battle someone because he thinks they are too weak and not worth the time.

- Apathetic: Cyrus, though in touch with himself, is not in touch with others. He shows little to no interest in other people's lives and what they are feeling. Oftentimes, he will either interrupt the person to stop the talking or just walk away. It's not that he is incapable of showing interest, he would just rather not as it is a waste of time in his eyes and gets in the way of his goal.

Brief History: Cyrus grew up within the friendly confines of Rustboro City, in a very wealthy family as an only child. His father was a former trainer who raveled the region and even challenged the Elite 4 before settling down into an executive position with the Devon Corporation. His mother, also a former trainer, met Cyrus' father on their travels. After some time she settled in as the stay at home mom. With the money his father made as an executive, Cyrus attended all the best schools, received all the best toys and even learned how to jet ski when he was 6. He was very privileged growing up and somewhat hidden from the rest of the world, having never traveled around much except for when he would travel with his family to various islands on their private jet. In his social life, Cyrus seemed to win every competition that he entered, even though he wasn't the smartest or most athletic. Unbeknownst to him was that his family used bribery to make sure he won. This lead him to feel like he was far superior over his peers due to his wealth and prestige.

When the opportunity to become a trainer presented itself, Cyrus immediately jumped on board the idea as another field he could conquer. Being the overconfident child he is, Cyrus told anyone and everyone that he would become the next champion and all other trainers might as well quit now. Cyrus felt like this was the last obstacle he needed to overcome before becoming the greatest champion of all time. Demanding from his parents that he be allowed to go on a journey, his family, happy to see their son's interest in being a trainer, once again used their influence to put their son in a position where he could be picked as one of the lucky few.

Stinging Bea · May 4, 2016

"Sounds good to me... Just try not to be too much of a bother, yeah?"

Robin Morris / Female / 16 Years Old

Appearance

Robin stands at a height of about 5'7". She has dark, chocolate-brown hair that she keeps short, reaching down to just past the base of her neck. Her bangs gently frame the sides of her face, with the exception of a bit of a fringe which hangs in the middle of her face. Robin sports a light tan skin complexion, which helps to make her lime-green colored eyes stand out more than they already do. Her facial features are completed with a subtly rounded nose and thin lips. Robin sports a rather slender body build, complete subtle curves of a still slightly developing figure.

In terms of attire, Robin dresses in a rather casual fashion. A pair of denim jeans can almost always be found over her legs, held in place with a black, leather belt around her waist. She tends to wear sneakers over her feet, with usually a tank top over her chest. Depending on the temperature, Robin will wear a black, leather jacket over her tops. When the weather proves to be a bit too hot, she will often keep the jacket with her, wearing it tied around her waist instead. She completes her appearance with two constant accessories. The first of which is a pair of black goggles that she wears in her hair, while the second of them is a pendant in the shape of a moon, decorated with a small, pink jewel on the bottom tip.

Goals And Interests

Many people would assume that like most teenagers her age, Robin has dreams of travelling around one of the many regions of the worlds. They would most likely assume that she has dreams of catching them all, earning all of the badges to take on a regional league, or maybe taking part in some contests. For Robin, these people would be dead wrong. The true reason she is setting off for a grand tour across the Hoenn region is to find her missing, older brother, Chris. When the siblings were younger, Chris constantly had dreams of becoming a famous, world-class Pokémon trainer. He had dreams of taking on the league and eventually even becoming a trainer. Upon his 16th birthday, he set off for that grand adventure in the Hoenn region. However, it has been three years since he set off and no one in his family has heard from him sense. Robin has taken it upon herself to find out just what happened to her missing brother, using the life of a trainer as nothing more than a tool for financing her search.

Strengths

Easygoing: Robin has an extremely easygoing, relaxed personality. It takes a lot to visibly upset her, and as a result she approaches most situations with a calm and level-headed mind. Robin takes everything in stride. It is her personal belief that one should not sweat over the minor details, and if they keep their cool everything will work out in the end.
Positive Thinker And Jokester: Robin is generally a lighthearted girl. It's very rare for there not to be a smile on her lips, and she's quick to crack a joke or a pun should the opportunity present itself. It is Robin's belief that frowning is bad for one's health, and a smile and good joke are the best way to have a good life.
Medical Expertise: The women in Robin's family have a long-line of expertise in the field of Pokémon medicine, most of which have had careers working in Pokémon Centers. While Robin has not had any official training, she has been with her mother, who still works as a nurse, several times during her childhood. With the small bits of knowledge she managed to obtain during that time, Robin does have the ability to help treat minor wounds of Pokémon, which proves useful should a Pokémon Center still be a ways off from her current location.

Weaknesses

Lazy: If one thing could be said about Robin, it's the fact that maybe she's a bit too relaxed. In fact, she could be considered downright lazy at times. It takes a lot to motivate her into action, and there are many times that should she feel like not having to deal with something, the teenager would find someway to pass the trouble on to someone else. While others like to rise with the sun to experience the next step of their journey, Robin is happy with simply rolling over and catching a few more hours of sleep.
Bad Timing: Robin has a hard time realizing when it's time to be serious and when to let the jokes stop. Also, because she tends to use puns and jokes so often, it can be difficult to tell when she is actually be serious. Robin has been known to have quite bad timing with these on several occasions. At times it can be quite easy for her to inadvertently hurt the feelings of someone around her, usually because her wisecracks can go too far too quickly. She does not really mean harm with these, however. When Robin realizes she has screwed up, she is quick to apologize.
Loner: Despite her more positive personality, Robin is not exactly a people person. She tends to enjoy her private time more than times when she's forced into the company of others, and being placed in more crowded and noisy areas tend to grate on her nerves, albeit slowly. Due to this fact, Robin will easily feel more at home when traveling through a forest or a cave than when walking through a bustling citiy.

History

Robin was born and raised in Celadon City of the Kanto region. Her mother works as a nurse in the city's Pokémon Center, while her father makes a living as a manager in the city's impressive department store. Robin is the middle child in her family. Oddly enough, she is the second of the tree triplets and the only female of the trio of children. All three children, while somewhat similar in physical appearance, are as different from each other as night and day. Robin's older brother, Chris, has always been quite the adventurous spirit. Her younger brother, James, had always been a more quiet and reserved boy, feeling more at home with books and his studies. Robin on the other hand, has always been a carefree, easygoing girl, who never really seemed to excel in physical or studious activity.

Robin's two brothers were both very forward in their dreams. Chris wanted to become a world famous Pokémon trainer, while James had aspirations of becoming a Pokémon researcher, perhaps going as far as to become a professor. This left Robin as the odd triplet out, as she grew up in life never really knowing just what she wanted to do in her future. While she had accompanied both her parents to their jobs on several occasions, Robin never really seemed to show any major interest in the field of sales or medicine. Still, this did not seem to worry her parents as they felt that she was merely trying to find her own path in life like her brothers.

On the day of their sixteenth birthday, the dreams of the brothers would finally come true. Chris was finally given permission to begin his dream life of becoming an official Pokémon trainer, while James had received a letter of internship to begin studying Professor Elm of the Johto region. To celebrate, the parents of the triplets gave them their own Pokémon for their birthday. James was gifted a female Bulbasaur named Clover, Chris received a male Charmander named Ash, while Robin received a male Squirtle she affectionately dubbed Coral. The following week, James set off for Johto, while Chris decided to begin his trainer career by exploring the region of Hoenn. Most would think that being separated from her brothers by mountains or oceans would bother Robin, but the girl seemed to take it in stride. She knew that the her siblings' pursuit of their dreams was more important.

For the first few months after her brothers' left, Robin and her parents would receive weekly phone calls and letters, detailing all about the experiences they were having. However as time moved on, the letters and calls from Chris grew few and far between... until they suddenly just stopped. The family tried not to think much of this at first, simply believing that Chris was having so much fun that he was getting distracted. However, after an entire month passed with no contact, Robin's parents began to fear the worst. They tried various means to contact the boy, but they never got a single response from Chris. Robin began to have a very bad feeling about her older brother's well-being. Perhaps it had to do something with the bond they shared as triplets, but she could definitely tell something was amiss. It was this motivation that set things into motion for Robin, which led her and her Squirtle to the Hoenn region in search of her brother.

Biography

Name: Dylan Josh "DJ" Thompson

Age: 16

Gender: Male

Appearance: The first thing that you would describe Dylan upon meeting him was his fair skin that goes well by his brown hair that is cut short and almost wavy. He stands in a tall stature with a relatively average physique with a hint of muscle tones. He is often described by his mother to have prepossessing eyes that are the shade of the Slateport oceans that harmonize with winsome smile. He typically wears thin clothes, because of the tropical weather of the region. He dons a grey top with brown pants and a attenuated jacket completes his look.

Goals and Interests: Adventure is Dylan's true passion. While he does have a desire to challenge the Hoenn League, he is more interested in the journey. His goal of collecting the badges and challenging the Elite Four is only of little account to his passion to explore and experience everything Hoenn has to offer. More than anything else, he just wants to have some adventures with his friends, people or Pokemon alike.

Personality: Ever noticed that guy that never really gets mad or excited, or really any emotion outside nonchalant. Meet Dylan. He is easy going and satisfied with his position to the point of near stoic. Often a benevolent or at least affable character due to rarely being confrontational. He is very positive and relaxed in nature, usually he has this side effect of having such a mellow trait, he seems rather slow or dim. In most cases however, Dylan can be incredibly perceptive or philosophical. At the very least, he often has a hidden tint of intelligence underneath it all.

He is a cultured individual but somewhat an introvert at his core. He is most likely to puzzle or confound his peers because Dylan is difficult to read and have a mysterious quality to him. He appears tremendously calm and composed, sometimes, this is just the surface, and scratching that façade may show that Dylan is, if anything, wound far too tight beneath their calm and unemotional appearance, he tends to be extremely ruthless, ready to do or sacrifice anything to accomplish his goals.

He refuses to speak about his wealth.

Brief History: From a young age, Dylan was fascinated with the concept of Pokemon, though he wasn't exactly interested in becoming a trainer. He grew up in a lower high-class family, his father the CEO of a mega-corporation, but Dylan forewent becoming the heir to the company for a while leaving his brothers and sisters to face off for control of the company. He lived in the lap of luxury for a few years until he decided that it was time to pursue his true passion - adventure, and forget all that riches and wealth. He decided that he would carve out his own path in destiny, not just have it handed to him by being the heir of the business.

Unspoilered and ready for evaluation/feedback.

Danielle Metts

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Light hair and pale skin contrast with her dark colored outfits. A fan of black and red, with the occasional white to further accent the dresses. She's a fan of overly elaborate dresses and designs, which usually are the opposite of practical. She owns more normal outfits, consisting of jeans and normal shirts, but will wear the ornate garments until they become too much of a burden for even her stubborn self. For her lace, frills, and feathers are the highlight of fashion, no matter how much she actually sticks out in normal society.

She puts forth great effort to maintain her appearance. Her hair is naturally a dark brown, which she bleaches and dyes to make it her desired white. She is very careful out in the sun, usually carrying an umbrella or large hat, because her skin tans easily instead of remains the paleness she desires. All of her clothing is either completely practical (jeans, shirts) or completely impractical for normal lives. She's a person of extremes, and wouldn't have it any other way.

Goals and Interests: Danielle thinks of herself as an artist, and the image she portrays as her unique brand of art. She wants to find people who understand the art she produces. Failing that, she at least wants to find people who can pretend to understand and can stand by her as a real friend, even through her more selfish and delusional artist moments, be they human or not. As for hobbies, she took to writing as a method of improving her delicate maiden image and found she does really enjoy it (her first choice was painting, something she found she had no talent for). Unfortunately, the type of writing she does contrasts with the image she wants, finding her talents in the horror genre instead of the romance and fairy tales she wanted to write, so they tend to be locked away once she finished.

Strengths: Her stubbornness and sense of pride keeps her going forward through even the toughest of challenges. She can act and hide her personality well enough to deceive those she does not spend a good amount of time with. This also works in reverse, and she can usually pick up on people who are acting oddly or are trying to put on fake image like herself. Outside of her created persona and underneath her actually abrasive personality, she does really care about her companions and friends, and will defend them to the end. She knows how to flatter and compliment people, because flattery get you everywhere.

Surprisingly, despite the fanciness of the dresses she is very good with money and thrifty. She knows the value of a (poke)dollar and can spot scams or rip-off of most things from a mile away.

Weaknesses: She is stubborn enough to wear a fancy dress on an adventure spanning the entire region, which speaks for itself. She's very selfish outside of her persona, and unless it benefits her or her friends she sees little reason to help someone who sees through her maiden act. She tends to seclude herself in her own thoughts, picturing herself as a suffering artist who doesn't need help. Despite the determination towards her goals, she is also prone to laziness and will half-hearted do something she doesn't really want to do.

Also, her views of what is art is weird and she does slip into the delusional artist category sometimes. She doesn't even realize that the writings she brushes off have a better chance at being understood and getting her the status of artist she dreams of, and stick to the hope that someone is weird in her own specific way to understand the frilly dresses and innocent maiden persona as "art".

Brief History: Born in Lilycove and a true child of the city. She had a normal childhood with normal parents and normal friends. She grew up with a small circle of close friends who she was very dear to, and together they played in the streets of Lilycove. She attended an average school and received average grades, only really excelling in writing and literature. It seemed she would be an average girl with an average life and average hobbies such as reading and swimming, until she decided that average wasn't good enough, she wanted to be abnormal, stick out in the crowd.

Her weirdness was unaccounted for during the first fifteen years of her life, where she lived as more of a tomboy than anything like the image she portrays now. It wasn't until she visited a small store in the city that specialized in unique dresses and antiquated clothing that she first caught eye of the basis of what would be her art. After doing research into the dress and the style, she began to save up for the dress and practice her act. Unfortunately, people who knew her were weirded out by the sudden 180 in her personality, and drifted away from her.

She shrugged off her sudden lack of friends and began to walk the streets of Lilycove in her new persona, drawing looks and whispers at her odd attire. But this was not the reaction she craved, no one "got" it, no one else understood the art like she did. After a year of lackluster reaction and her new found isolation, she decided to finally leave the city she spent her entire life in. Although she didn't understand nature like how people didn't understand her art, she made her way to a specific Professor Roxanne. She would volunteer for research as a pretext to traveling the region, and maybe the world, so that she could show off her art and maybe find someone else who understands it.

Chosen Starter and Nickname: Dom the Turtwig, Docile nature.

Moves: Tackle, Withdraw, Absorb, Seed Bomb.

Ability: Overgrow

A little slow, but loyal.

Other: Yeah, right now the picture is a little dainty and delicate. For the lack of a single personality field, and to sort of catalog my thoughts until I fill out everything else, dainty and beautiful is how she wants to be seen, it's just a facade. She wants to stick out, playing her innocent maiden persona so long as the eyes on her don't know any who she really is. To anyone who actually knows her, when she forgets the act, or when she just doesn't care about it, her normal selfish and stubborn side show. The whole "gothic lolita" style is something she once saw and fell in love with, even though she isn't the girls in the pictures, even dying her hair from its natural brown to fit the image more. To her the act and dresses are her own brand of art, and the masses are just too ignorant to get it. Her personality is abrasive, yeah, but she is a good person underneath all her selfishness that does cherish her friends and companions, even if she won't show it on the surface. Also, I didn't pick turtwig because the image of her riding him underneath the little tree is awesome, that's just a side effect.

Oooh! Consider my interested!

Since the last Hoenn rp kind of...stopped, I think I'll use the character I was going to use for that one...with some slight alterations to fit the format.

Rose Burnes

Name: Rose Burne

Age: Seventeen

Gender: Female

Hometown: Goldenrod City

Appearance:

At the short height of 5'3, Rose is often mistaken for being younger than she is. Traveling makes for a fairly lean body with toned legs due to so much walking. Her natural hair color is a mild blue that reaches slightly past her shoulder blades, along with several bleached-white streaks around her face. Her eyes are upturned and brown, while her skin is lightly tanned from years of outdoor exploration. Considering Hoenn is a tropical region, Rose will be wearing light clothes throughout the journey: Shorts, tank tops, light running shoes, and a thin jacket, just in case (Hoenn might be tropical, but it isn't the sun, and it's good to be prepared). Like many female trainers from Johto, Rose wears a Pokegear around her neck, as well as two small, rosebud shaped earrings in each ear.

Goals, Interests, Strengths and Weaknesses: Rose has a one track mind, and that one track is Pokémon. She is eager to experience everything the Pokémon world has to offer, and interact with as many Pokémon as possible. She favors Pokémon that sacrifice bulk for speed, and using that speed to set up a quick sweep. She tries to teach her Pokémon a variety of moves in hopes of always having one super effective move against her opponents. Rose enjoys adventure and will step into unknown situations without hesitation in hopes of encountering one, that is, until something goes wrong. Her confidence can be shattered with extreme ease. From gung-ho to devastated so quickly can make her a bit difficult to understand, as there is rarely middle ground. Rose is generally friendly (more so to people with Pokémon), and though not the most talkative, she truly enjoys to be in the company of others, especially while traveling.

Brief History: The man and woman that Rose refers to as her parents are actually her aunt and uncle. Her actual parents were Pokémon mythologists whom went missing thirteen years ago, supposedly on the trail of an ancient Sinnoh Pokémon (whether they are deceased or merely missing is a subject Rose cares not to theorize over). While she has no real memories of her birth parents, their absence left a young Rose with a small sense of loneliness, as well as a feeling of guilt. Why did she yearn for parents she could not remember, when her foster family treated her so well?
Both Rose and her cousin were sent to the Pokémon Trainer School in Goldenrod City, where Rose's interest in Pokémon battles developed into a deep and fiery passion that could not be extinguished. It was quick to see that all this young girl wanted in life was to be a Pokémon trainer, and to travel the world in search of Pokémon to catch and trainers to battle. On the day of her graduation, Rose' guardians presented her with two gifts: A fire Pokémon (befitting her surname) and a ticket for the Goldenrod train station, which she could use to travel to Kanto, and from the port in Vermillion City, begin a journey in any region she chose.

Gender: male

Appearance: Standing 5'6" tall Henry dresses very simply in his day to day life. He wears loose jeans, with cuffed bottoms, and a monochrome t-shirt, of which he has many color choices. He always carried a backpack which he stores his pokeballs, and other knickknacks in. He has no hair, and brown eyes.

Weaknesses: Suffering from a slight case of little man syndrome Henry postures by challenging any opponent he meets. He also attempts to make himself look bigger by standing as tall as he can all the time and doing 100 push-ups, 100 situps, and running 10 miles every day, and due to this training regimen he Is now bald.

Strengths: Thankfully Henry's pokemon are strong enough to back up any big talk that gets out of hand. He also never needs money since he performs often on the street where people seems to enjoy his act.

vine whip
Leach seed
Giga drain
Tackle

But before he does that he must learn more skills in the Hoenn region.

Alright Ozy, my SU is ready for its judgment (:

Ozymandias · May 5, 2016

Update: I'm really excited as to all the attention this has garnered so far :D

I have a very big exam that I thought I was well prepared for, but I'm not so sure about that anymore. :') Because of this I won't be able to start reviewing the SUs until over the weekend. Sorry to everyone that's waiting for me to look at their SUs, but life take priority in this situation. ~~Fear not, it's only a couple days~~

Name: Belle Blackwood

Age: 17

Gender: ~~Unicorn~~ Male

Appearance:
Belle has silvery hair, teal eyes and pale skin. He wears simple tank tops and a a black denim jacket. He uses a simple leather belt with a gold buckle and wears blue denim jeans and wears simple black tennis shoes. He likes to wear bracelets and has a simple black band around his left wrist.

Goals and Interests:
Belle is interested in finding ways for Pokémons abilities to be useful in everyday life, such as Paras' ability to grow mushrooms that can be used medicinally or Machoke's ability to help work in the mines for precious materials. As such his goal while on his journey is to meet many different kinds of Pokémon and learn all about their abilities apart from battling.
He is of course an avid Pokémon battle fan and likes to watch and sometimes participate in contests as well.

Strengths:
Belle has a very peaceful personality, almost zen like. This enables him to think clearly even in situations which are unfavorable, such as being chased around by a horde of wild zigzagoon.
He is also very slim and nimble, being able to get around almost any obstacle that could be in his way, such as a locked gate or a small ravine in a cave.
He is quite booksmart, knows first aid and how to survive in the wilderness if he gets lost.

Weaknesses:
Belle isn't in a very fit state despite being slim and nimble. He can't run for more than ten minutes without getting winded and prefers walking. He doesn't have much upper body strength so carrying or moving heavy objects is also a no go.
Belle doesn't socialize with people very often, prefering to spend his time with Pokémon who he understands rather than humans who are complex beyond understanding.
Belle does not like heights. At all. He rode the cable-car up to Lavaridge once and threw up, causing quite the mess and a long day for a severely underpaid janitor...

Brief History:
Born in Castelia, Belle was two years old when his family moved to Lilycove as his father was a boat captain who had an acquaintance in the Hoenn region who was starting a new ferry business. Belle grew up a bit of a loner, but always had a few schoolmates and his families Pokémon as friends. He always did well in school but never had any idea of what career path he wanted to take, so he decided to go on a Pokémon journey to give him a little time to think before he had to finally choose.
His parents had been a little disappointed in his decision, as they had always been trying to convince him to take over his fathers job as the ferry captain. However they were supportive of him and promised to help fund his trip however they could. His younger brother Rolo cried, wanting to go with him. It took a ride around on the old family Stoutland in order to calm him down.

Chosen Starter and Nickname:
Vyl the Treeko (Male)
Quick attack, Pound, Absorb, Dragon breath

RP Sample:
Belle rubbed his face with the drying rag and looked into the mirror. His face looked the same as it always did, but somehow still seemed younger to him today than it had in several years. Perhaps its the childish glee I feel at the idea of finally getting a pokémon of my own.
He stared at that ever so familiar face in the mirror and couldn't help but feel his mouth turn into a smile. Maybe its because deep down... we're all kids who want to go on an adventure at heart. With that sound he tossed the rag on the rack and turned to walk out of the bathroom, out of the house and onto his bike. His adventure was about to begin.

Carter Fontaine / Male / 17 Years Old

Appearance

At 5' 10", Carter is on the higher end of average height. He has dark brown hair that is short and perpetually messy, though his high hairline gives him a big forehead. Despite his dark hair, his skin is pale, and his eyes are a very light blue. He has the face of a thug, with large eyebrows, a crooked nose, and even a scar on his chin. Completing his thuggish look, he's broad-shouldered and a little muscley, with various other scars all over his body.

Being a little self-conscious about his scars (and slightly afraid of sunlight, given his pale skin), he usually wears a light jacket to cover his arms. The current jacket is red and black, with a high collar and a simple zipper. He otherwise tends to dress casually, preferring muted colors such as gray jeans and a white shirt. He almost always wears an undershirt, either as extra warmth when it's cold or so he can open his jacket when it's warm. He carries his gear around in a brown knapsack, which is not a purse, no matter what people say. And while he doesn't know what they're actually for, he wears black fingerless gloves because he finds them comfortable. And of course, he has a red Poketch, because having a phone in your watch is cool.

Goals And Interests

Instead of looking forward to the future, Carter is running from his past. He's made many mistakes in his past, and his primary goal is to go somewhere where no one knows his name, what he's done, or judges him without knowing him. He enjoys traveling, seeing sights, tasting foods, or just walking through a pretty landscape. He'd like to create things, but he doesn't know how best to channel his creative energy.

Strengths

Carter was raised in the streets, so he's physically strong and tough, and knows how to fight. Surprisingly, he's also very empathetic, able to get along with nearly anyone, and can be both kind and funny. Once he sets his mind on something, he doesn't give up, even when he should.

Weaknesses

Despite his capability in combat, Carter isn't very smart, and is kind of clumsy. He has a bit of a temper, which can make him reckless, and he refuses to quit, even when outmatched. He has few skills outside of fighting or manual labor, and his ugly appearance tends to put people off.

History

Born in Saffron City, Kanto, Carter had a simple, spartan childhood. His father was a teacher at the Fighting Dojo, his mother was a cook at a local diner. He wasn't well liked in school, by either teachers or students, and eventually fell in with a group of students who called themselves the Street Sharpedos. It turns out they were actually a street gang, and Carter became friends with their leader, Brak. One day, Brak and Carter got caught breaking into a convenience store after hours, and Carter cut a deal for his freedom, giving up Brak in the process.

Vowing to turn his life around, and wanting to put distance between himself and his old gang, Carter moved to Littleroot Town in Hoenn. He was able to get a job as one of Professor Roxanne's assistants, where he was an enthusiastic, if unskilled, worker. He was eventually promised a Pokemon and a Pokedex, perhaps just to get rid of him. Having never owned a Pokemon, but grown up around them, he was excited to start his journey and explore this new region.

Starter Pokémon

Snappy the Totodile, Male, Nature: Impish, Ability: Sheer Force, Moves Known: Scratch, Leer, Water Gun, Ice Punch (Egg Move)

Snappy is a mischievous little scamp who likes to play around. He likes taking things, and chews on stuff he likes, including Carter. He can often be seen riding on Carter's shoulder, and Carter keeps him placated with treats.

Even though I know I shouldn't, I will write an SU for this. (Even though college is kicking my butt.) I'll have mine up by Sunday. (I'll be trying to grab Fennekin, I think.)

Edit: I have lied. College is still kicking me in the butt. (Ahaha a speech and a research paper due on the same day. Kill me.) I'll try to have my SU up by Tuesday.

Gabriel Gray
Male
16

Appearance:
Gabriel has stark white hair (not naturally, of course, he dyed it.) His red eyes stand out with his pale skin. He wears a white shirt with a Red Cross, blue jeans, and stark white running shoes. Around his neck, he wears a necklace in the likeness of the Pokemon Mew. In cold climates, he wears a red hoodie and if things get colder than that, he wears a large, faint pink jacket.(it used to be white but he accidentally ashes it with his hoodie.)

Goals/Interests:
Gabriel has been raised in a Temple of Mew all his life, so naturally, Gabriel is a very religious man. He can constantly be found praying to The New Species Pokemon. He's also rather fond of tea. He wants little more than to be with his Pokemon and travel the world. People often ask what his opinion of Pokemon battles are. He replies "Is it any different than us humans wrestling, or playing sports? No, it's not. Pokemon do it for recreation and fun just as much as we do."

Strengths:
Devotion: Gabriel's devotion to Mew allows him to take risks, knowing that Mew will protect him. However, at times, it can be his weakness.
Good Will: Gabriel seldom has bad intent for anyone, allowing him to make friends.

Weaknesses:
Naive: With all of the Good Will for others, Gabriel is slow to see the evil in some people's hearts. This can be quite dangerous when enemies take advantage of it.
Unathletic: Gabriel doesn't get out much. He often stayed in the Temple, so he really hasn't had any vigorous exercise, except for his chores.

History:
Gabriel was born in Lillycove City. He grew up around the sea and beneath the distant Mt. Pyre. He and his parents were always very close, laughing and playing and dancing. Until he was 6 years old, and his parents and him went out boating. All was well until Gabriel felt a a huge sound, looked over the side and saw that they had crashed into some rocks, and were now sinking. Without hesitating, Gabriel's father threw him into the top of the boat. His parents, however, could not get up there in time. When rescue vehicles came and got Gabriel, it was already too late. They were gone.

Distraught, Gabriel ran away from Lillycove City. He ran for an entire day before he saw it. A weird looking house on Route 121. He entered and found a small church run by about 4 priests. They took him in and raised him as a follower of Mew. He also a few odd chores, but nothing too much, he mostly sat and prayed. But one day, they asked him to go to Rustboro City, where a Pokemon Professor was residing, and obtain a Pokemon. It would be through his journey that he truly gained an understanding of the world around him.
