Welcome!

The pursuit of knowledge is one of the noblest of tasks for only by learning from the past can we stride towards the future. This is the most fundamental principle that Kaza the Alakazam?s famed exploration guild is built upon.

The explorers that work under Kaza travel into the deepest depths of the wilderness around Apricorn Village and beyond in search of the greatest treasure: knowledge. They retrieve artifacts, record art and inscriptions and preserve that information for future generations. All the while they also take on other missions to help the Apricorn Village community and fund their guild.

You

You are a member of Alakazam's exploration guild.
You're either a newbie, a veteran, or just someone who's been a member for the past ten days.
I... I'm not sure what else to say here tbh.

How this works

In essence, this is a sandbox with plot. It's a huge world that has it's main history set up with the player's actions affecting what they would know about it. The rest of the lore and history is built by the community in an OOC (out of character) chat and by the players themselves in their personal plot.

While it does give you the illusion of choice, there is a main plot to fulfill for the lore to continue. These options are given by GM made missions that can unlock key locations in the world and useful bits of information that may help shape your perspective.

Rules

  • All PC and RPT rules apply.
  • No godmodding and unsolicited bunnying.
  • Please talk to me about your plots too should they involve some important Pokemon!
  • This roleplay is rated T. You know the drill. ;)
  • Have fun!

Sign Ups

To sign up for PMD: Antiquity, please fill up these forms!

Currently Known Locations + NPC List


Apricorn Village
A small but bustling and steadily growing town in the middle of a grassy field not too far from the coast. Various forms of Apricorn trees can be seen everywhere as shrubbery. This is the central location where you will find Alakazam?s guild, Farfetch?d Market and many other useful businesses. The locals are mostly very welcoming and friendly here.

Spoiler: Notable Areas & NPCs
Porygon-Z Storage
The stall you see is unusually spherical. There is red circle acting as the roof with a larger red circle as the main walls. there are also some blue blobs that for some reason are magically suspended on the sides of the house, making it look like a Porygon-Z head. You can?t see anything inside it when you try to peek into the hollow area where the owner enters, and when you do try to get in, you?re blocked by a magical, technological forcefield. This is surely the best place to store your wares!

The owner of this stall is Porygon-Z, commonly known by everyone as Pory. He likes to keep to himself, preferring to encrypt the security of his storage area more and more. The ones that don?t understand see him as crazy, but he?s just? determined? to make his storage space the best one any guildmembers can possible avail! He really appreciates everyone who?s up to date with the times.

Farfetch?d Market
The stall itself looks like a giant tent made out of leeks with a hole in the middle for the stall to show. This area houses a multitude of wares. You can?t even see the interior walls anymore. The left interior has a lot of TMs for sale, the middle one with seeds and fruit, and the right wall with clothing and accessories for the trendy Pokemon.

Farfetch?d himself (Fet by friends) is a natural businessman. He likes to sell items to every willing Pokemon, and recommends leeks a lot for their usefulness. He has a one day warranty with items where you get your money back if it?s proven to be broken. He loves being on top of the shop crowd and aims to make sure his stall is always up to date with the best items.

Noctowl Appraisal
For some reason, the area looks like a giant bird?s nest with a simple roof. There?s only a lavish red curtain separating you from the interior of the building. However, once you walk in, suddenly it?s all glam and fancy. The floor is decorated with red velvet, and the walls a lush purple. You can?t really count how many golden decorations there are because there?s just too many to count. W o a h.

Noctowl, preferring to be called Nocta, is just as fancy too. She loves chests, every kind of them, and is just as curious as you are which is why she offered to create an appraisal shop. She isn?t picky with people, and will offer her services to anyone who is interested? and who has enough cash.

Alolan Meowth Bank
It?s? a giant box? for a stall. Legit. But believe it or not, it?s the safest place to store your cash. The box is made out of solid aluminum, only painted on to look like the cool cat?s version of a box. There are additional, giant golden plated chains wrapped around it to make it look extra secure. At the front part of a box is a simple table where Meowth, Alo, resides and talks to the customers.

Alo is a simple Meowth. He likes his cash, and customers like to keep their cash safe. He?s well known for his impenetrable box, comparable with Pory?s security. He likes it straight to the point and prefers that customers don?t waste his time talking to him. It is also rumored that he has connections with the Meowth Mafia, but that remains as a rumor to this day.

Audino Day Care
Audino Day Care is by far the only stall that actually resembles a house. The exterior is a normal pink house with walls, while the interior has a peachy look to it, with various peach colored beanbags littered on the wooden floor. There is also a special shelf for the eggs and another separate room for the younger ones.

Audino/Ino herself is a precious lady. She loves children with all her heart and will care for them and protect them 24/7 while they are in her care. Ino likes everything sweet and likes to help people out a lot. She doesn?t charge much for eggsitting, only asking for a small sum to keep the kids happy.

Hitmondojo
The Hitmondojo looks like a regular dojo? But with the hitmontrio?s decorative traits equally split on three sides, giving the building a wonky look. You can see that one sides has the clear distinctions of strong legs, one has spinning and dancing symbols, and one is aimed at boxing. The inside however looks very plain. A simple red mat with bamboo walls and training rooms everywhere.

The Hitmondojo is a special place. It is equally ruled by three brothers: Bruce the Hitmonlee, Jack the Hitmonchan, and Connor the Hitmontop. The three specialize in various, experimental tactics. Mostly, the three just want to see who is the best mentor by pitting their apprentices against each other in a quarterly battle of the Pokemon. Then there is Dre, a Tyrogue brother that will be inheriting the Dojo when he is deemed worthy to. So far, he isn?t and he?s been seen battling Pokemon who come in the Dojo and treating them as his rivals.


Alakazam's Guild
Alakazam?s Guild is a slightly imposing gothic-esque one floor stone building contained in a gated compound located in the northern edge of the Apricorn Village. The flowers and trees outside are kept neat and tidy, looking very much like a rich Pokemon?s castle. The inside however is contrastingly comfortable, looking brightly colored and is filled with various book and artifacts.

Visitors are instantly greeted with a map of the Guild building with the doors and areas properly labelled and organized with the mission board and visitor friendly areas on the only major floor, and important, guild member only places like their quarters and dining halls on a secret, basement floor.

Despite the outside appearing sombre, the interior of the building is usually lively and often even loud as adventurers come and go. Alakzam and Klefki actively encourage a friendly and fun, information filled environment in the guild.

Spoiler: Notable Areas & NPCs
Gate Entrance
Before you?re able to go in the guild, be prepared to be scanned by Bob the Bewear. Unlike many other Pokemon, he is quiet and collected. He stands in front of the black gates, judging if the adventurer is allowed to go inside the building or not. Bob likes to use actions instead of words, however he doesn?t even do much. If he doesn?t think you?re allowed to be let in, you won?t be able to get in. If you?re allowed, then he?ll let you pass by without a word.

Mission Boards Top floor
The mission boards are what every adventurer first sees when they step inside the building. It is strategically placed so that the adventurers won?t crowd over a single board, but rather the entire walls are corkboards pinned with various missions from various Pokemon.

Sometimes, adventurers can spot a shiny Totodile in a single space of the room reserved entirely for him. He is Toto, the shiny Totodile, and he is there to sell rare items that you cannot get anywhere. Unlike some other business men out there, he loves trading instead of getting coin. Be prepared to barter when you see him, because he?ll most likely have what you need.

Guildmaster?s Quarters Top floor
The Guildmaster?s quarters is fairly small, with only a table and three chairs in the center. The sides have the official guild certification with ranking along with some paintings of the previous guildmaster, another older, debated wiser, Alakazam. In the corner is also a huge treasure chest that seems to be unopened for a long time.

Inside the office you can find Kaza, the current guildmaster and world renowned scholar of the Pokemon world. For some reason, some of the guildmembers call him grandpa. He acts like he?s offended but his actions as a softie betray his actual emotions. Every adventurer can come to him for help and advice and he?ll gladly give it out to them. It is rumored that he can change into another, more powerful form when it is needed, but nobody has ever seen him actually do it yet.

And there?s also Key the Klefki. He?s Kaza?s secretary that rises with the sun. He opens up doors for Pokemon when they?ve managed to lock themselves out of their quarters. He is also an unusually fast worker, although he is seen to jitter most of the time, his keys clanging on each other. Most of the guildmembers, including Kaza, actively encourage him to rest but Key just says no and does his work without fail.

Infirmary Bottom floor
The infirmary is pretty plain. White walls, carpeted floors, and all the berries and equipment needed to heal an injured Pokemon in an instant. There are also charts of ?first aid for newbies? on the walls, with first aid satchels (berries, bandages, etc) on a table for emergencies. There are also sleeping areas for fainted Pokemon and the Doctor?s office in the corner.

Doctor Omfe the Comfey is a bit of a problem doctor. She's lovely, with all her beauty, but she has a strict heal-it-yourself policy. She uses only her ability to help speed up the process. She does do her job when it's needed though... it's just most of the time she prefers her patients to learn.

Nurse Tiss the Aromatisse is the best nurse you?ll ever have. Unlike Omfe, she pities you. She's beautiful and thicc and helpful. Pokemon do seem to stutter around her, which makes her more confused on what to do for the Pokemon, and panics when she doesn't do it right.

Living Space and Dining Area Bottom floor
The living space is one of the many secret perks of the guild. There are sofas and bookshelves streamed on the sides of the room, while the center is littered with tables and chairs to accommodate the guildmembers. In front is a platform where the guildmembers can perform and entertain others. To the left side of the room is the Shuckle juice bar where he takes orders and provides quality drinks for Pokemon.

Luke the Shuckle is especially known for this eighteen-and-over drinks, those that are said to bring the most entertainment to the table. He however does strictly make sure the Pokemon is over eighteen. Luke likes to create the most delicious food that can cheer up a horribly bad day. He is always there for everyone and is a pretty good listener. He can however be pretty slow, so people need to somewhat patient with him.

Member?s Quarters Bottom floor
Guildmembers, should they not have a house of their own, are given a shared room with another guildmember in the west side of the bottom floor. This room houses their personal belongings and two beds. The decor is up to the members, but they are expected not to change the wooden flooring and the cream walls of the rooms.


Additional Locations
As well as the many locations within Apricorn Village and the Guild, your work as an explorer will take you to a wide array of locations beyond the village's boundaries. You can find those locations listed below.

Spoiler: Available Areas
Lookout Coast
A cliff overlooking the ocean not too far from the Village. The view here is breathtaking and the area is home to a lot of Flying and Water types who enjoy the habitat.

Deep Lake
A perilously deep lake (hence the name) where water from the ocean flows in through multiple riverways depositing rare items like unusual shells or deepsea scales. Be warned though, the Pokemon of Deep Lake are very territorial and don?t like it when outsiders descend into their domain to loot.

The Combee Hive Village
A vast hive of Combee run by the regal and strict Queen Vespiquen. It is nestled deep within Honey Woods and is the chief producer and exporter of honey in the region. They have a very tense relationship with a neighbouring colony of heracross.

Honey Woods
A deceptively deep forest of beautiful trees that is home primarily to Bug and Grass type mon. Many of the swarming bugs in the Woods retain permanent settlements there but there?s little tension between most? most.

Heracross Estate
Estate is really too fancy a word for the small Heracross settlement. They are friendly to most but have an extremely tense with the neighbouring Hive Village over resources.

Vast Barrens
An enormous desert region beyond the village that only the hardiest Pokemon can easily survive in. The weather here is always hot and dry and the harshness of the landscape has left much of it unexplored.

Magnet Canyon
Located inside the Vast Barren?s, Magnet Canyon is a deep, wide and long gash in the landscape where many rocks produce powerful magnetic fields. The canyon attracts Steel types and a few hardy Electric types. Pokemon who aren?t savvy enough sometimes get stuck in the fields.

Winding Cave
A sprawling cave system that links between Honey Woods, Vast Barrens and Lookout Cove, passing directly under the Village. The walls are covered in strange and elaborate paintings in many places and some have theorised it is impossible to explore entirely.

Mission Board


Dewott's Shell: Requested by Dewott
Old Man Dewott has lost his seashell and needs a replacement, but finding the special kind of shell isn?t going to be easy. The only place to find the shells he?s looking for easily enough is at the bottom of Deep Lake where a river deposits them from the ocean. The residents of the depths of the lake don?t like intruders and it?s a long, long way to the bottom.
Reward: 200p

She?ll Sell Seashells: Requested by Farfetch'd
A Farfeth?d from the Market got wind of Old Man Dewott?s plight and decided it would be an excellent idea to stock a selection of shells. They?re looking for some mon with lots of time and no money to scour Deep Lake to collect a bag of shells. Be warned though, the Deep Lake Pokemon do not like outsiders intruding into their space.
Reward: 200p

Bees and Bandits: Requested by Vespiquen
The Combee Hive Village is being raided by a group of Heracross bandits for their precious honey. Queen Vespiquen, leader of the Hive, requests assistance in driving off the powerful invaders and ensuring that they don?t come back.
Reward: Honey

Alakazam?s Apples: Requested by Alakazam
The Guild kitchen is running out of apples and Alakazam want to restock immediately. He?s not waiting for the Market, he?s paying for one or two of his guild to go to the Orchard and collect as many apples as they can. They get to keep some for themselves and might get another reward too.
Reward: ???

Crack the Canyon?s Code: Requested by Alakazam
A strange code of dots is inscribed in the walls of Magnet Canyon, getting close isn?t easy though as the intense magnetic waves that deep inside can cause problems. Rescue Team Mawile from where they are stuck in the chasm and then record the code for Alakazam to decipher.
Reward: ???

Run for It!: Requested by Electrode
Electrode doesn?t look like it, but boy is it fast. Actually, it?s one of those fastest Pokemon ever and it?s looking for Pokemon who can give it a worth challenge in a race from the village to Lookout Cove. If you manage to impress it, or somehow win, you?ll be rewarded with a Choice Scarf that can make you much faster at the cost of not being able to use all of your moves.
Reward: Choice Scarf

Winding Cave Wonders: Requested by Smeargle
Winding Cave has become famous for not only it?s seemingly infinitely twisting, turning and confusing tunnels but also for the amazing artwork that is present on the walls depicting strange unrecognisable figures. The deepest part is also currently under the control of a rather mean Golem and his Variant Graveller brothers. You need to safely escort a Smeargle artisan through the deep part of the cave to create a replica of some of the art for study.
Reward: Luminous Orb

chika
? HISTORY ?
She lives at the guild now, but Chika was first born and thereon raised in the city of Kamenshi, a pseudo-metropolis ruled by peculiar, sylvan-faring monsters into the far forested outskirts of the continent.
------Upon hatching, the Paras nymph found herself abandoned in a sodden maze of tree roots and undergrowth, alone. Her solitary egg had been accepted, albeit reluctantly, at the insistence of Head Nurse Kuroyuri, leader in a nursery-and-foster-care initiative for highly-reproductive Bug-types. It was unknown where and how the egg was conceived; there was no indication of the mother, but it had been taken off the hands of a wandering explorer who might have been the father. It was equally baffling that the Paras, henceforth named ?Chika? by the Head Nurse, found herself outside of the actual nursery, but in the sudden and devastating disappearance of a lady Vivillon's clutch of eggs, the little Paras was allowed to slip through as a miracle.
------Chika would go on to be raised by the Kamenshi community ? that is to say, she lived by herself, took care of herself, was expected to live and take care of herself, and received some formal education on ?avoiding ferality,? ?self-defense? ? the basics. It was a place populated by similar Pok?mon, yet no others looked exactly like Chika, and she was never told why. There might have been bullying, but she snuffed that. Otherwise, it was a subtle ?skirting-around? her existence. Growing up, she was always given empty promises of her father coming back.
------When an incident threaded an alliance between Kamenshi and representatives of local guilds in the event of warding off danger, Chika was inspired by this contact with the wider world. Ultimately, she decided to leave her city with guild escorts in hopes of reuniting with her father, who must have been important, and to pursue a vague concept of ?destiny?; Chika was convinced that for her to become a great scholar of legend was necessary, and she would have to grow into the capacity. Starting with some rough battle instincts, an interest in yore, and a knack for map-reading, she was escorted over miles to Alakazam?s guild. It comes full circle.
? PHYSIOLOGY ?
Just scraping a foot tall. A stout form is carried on three pairs of tarsi-tipped legs to cling, climb, and skitter through tight spaces. Chika?s eyes glisten and ogle at a world curved like a fishbowl behind chunky white-framed goggles finessed from Wide Lens?. ?I paid a lots for 'em,? she?d inssisst, hissing all her ?ss?s from a gaping mouth lined with teeth.
------In combat, Chika can wield her claws with deadly dexterity as she blocks, bobs, and weaves. Without the acuity to tell where an attack will land, she needs fights to be as simple and direct as possible. The toughness of Chika?s thorax means she can afford blows to the front, and the mushrooms on her back serve as budding bastions for the soft abdomen underneath. They have a subtle luminescence to them that?s perceivable if dark enough, much as Chika herself tends to glow; her exoskeleton shines deep-red with a near persistence.

Has the ability Dry Skin, making her susceptible to extreme weather condiions. An acuity to conditions, such as humidity changes, can be linked to a high sensory awareness of the world in-general. While her scope is limited in battles or other high-stress instances, the ability to ?perceive? the world has proven essential in navigation.
------Dry Skin means water heals Chika?s wounds. When in contact with harsh sunlight, the Paras would describe the experience as akin to immolation.

------Chika knows the following moves:
?----Fury Cutter
?----Counter
?----Mega Drain
?----Synthesis
?----Flash
[title="Who finna be the best if it ain't me?]? CHARACTER ?[/title]
?---A neophyte, but a fighter inspired by idealism, work ethic, and discovery. Her plucky optimism ultimately leaves her impressionable in most instances. She has immediate respect for providers of advice and high spirits.

?---She anticipates being overwritten or left out of conversation. She has internalized that she?s disadvantaged compared to other stronger Pok?mon, but it drives her twice as hard. She is often vulnerable to overworking.

?---A self-concerned nature. She prioritizes her personal goals, especially over-glorified, abstract concepts she cannot understand, like ?justice.? Subject to tunnel vision.

?---A reliance on instinct, improvisation, and prior knowledge. She is more book-smart than clever; she gets more mileage from rushing headlong into a situation and figuring it out as she goes.

?---A fear of self-stagnation, never becoming greater than what she is, and becoming but a simple cog in a machine.

"What's the point of an adventure if you can't look fabulous doing it?"

Rose Mari? / Female / 16 Years Old / Bulbasaur

8v6xVz7.png





















Appearance

Rose Mari? is a bit on the shorter side than the average Bulbasaur, standing at a height of 2'0". She tends to look like your average Bulbasaur, save for the fact of the various flowers that are already sprouting around the bulb on her back. Mari? owes this to the genetics on her mother's side, who happens to belong to the Vileplume species of Pok?mon. To enhance her appearance with these flowers, Rose Mari? has crafted a small flower crown as well as a bracelet of sorts that she wears upon her front, right foot. She is never seen without either one of these rather fancy decorations and she values them more than almost anything in her life.​

Personality

A lover of all things cute, Rose Mari? comes off a bit as a fancy-elite. She is a very fashion conscious Pok?mon, always making it her business to critique the appearance of her fellow guild members. Headstrong and determined, Rose Mari? tends to act a bit on the rash side. She is eager to show that she is capable of lending a helpful paw in almost any situation, all the while maintaining a proper and fashionable appearance while doing so. She does tend to have a bit of an ego, rarely letting herself be the one to take the blame when something does go wrong, but the Bulbasaur does mean well most of the time. Rose Mari? speaks with a thick, Kalosian accent and tends to call most of those around her by rather affectionate sounding nicknames such as "darling" or "dear".​

Ability

Chlorophyll

Moves

Tackle | Leech Seed | Razor Leaf | Synthesis | Poison Powder | Magical Leaf

Alakazam's Questionnaire

1. Somebody calls you ?weird but funny.? How does that make you feel?
"I am... how you say, offended by such a comment. I pride myself on trying to be helpful and complete my tasks while carrying myself in a polite and poised manner. Zen to top it all off they insult me? Non, non... Zis will not do at all, monsieur! Zey are clearly in need of a proper education in the form manners!"

2. The road forks to the right and left. You are told there is a treasure on the right. What do you do?
"Zat iz a bit of a tricky question, monsieur! It depends on the reason for the road being traveled, does it not? If one iz on the road to help one in need then it would be unacceptable to stray from the path. However if one iz... how you say, just out for zey leisurely stroll... Zhen I do not see ze problem in taking ze right path. Besides, it might have something fabuleux awaiting at ze end of the trail, non?"


3. Spring, summer, fall, or winter? Which season do you like best and why?
"Zat is an easy question, monsieur! Ze obvious answer would have to be Spring. It iz a season of beginnings, when ze flowers are blooming and ze the frigid harshness of Winter begins to melt away. It iz a time when ze horrid snow and bitter winds are replaced with bright sun and ze gentle breeze! Magnifique, do you not agree?"

4. When it?s all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
"Of course not, monsieur! Ze whole reason I have joined zis guild is to do my part to help zose around me! What good would it do if I was to... how one says, be all the bark with non bite? Ze very thought disgusts me!"

5. What makes you special?
"Darling, I would think zat zat would be obvious... Still, I will humor you and fill you in on ze answers. It iz obviously my flowers, non? You see, many of my kind only sprout ze one flower when they have.. how you say, fully evolved? Thanks to my m?r? I am able to grow zese other flowers on my back while waiting for my bulb to bloom. Zey are quite the sight to behold, non?"​

Name: Nixo

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Species: Rockruff

Appearance: Standing on all fours at one foot and ten inches, Nixo is a bit taller than average Rockruff, though this slightly larger size comes with a small drawback of not having as much bulk, not really able to take hits but still able to dish them out. The rocks within his collar are a little bit bigger than normal, though they get covered up by his overgrown fur from around his body somewhat.

When Nixo goes out on any travels, he needs a place to put important items in. that?s where his bag comes in. Sure, it may not be that big and hold that much, but that keeps things limited, so only the important things will come along. That keeps him from having to dig through a mess of a bag (knowing him it would be a complete disaster).

Spoiler:


Personality: Nixo is quite tough by his own standards, though by tough he means that he?s not afraid to pull punches. Whether the punches are real or not vary based on the situation. He?s rather brash, he?s not really afraid of stepping on toes if it means speaking his mind on something important. He?s rather easily provoked due to him being quite prideful of himself and his own perceived ability to take care of whatever is thrown his way. He also sometimes sees it as him doing things that ?keep the ball rolling?, as long as something is being done, he?s relatively happy.

Nixo is also rather active, though that?s mostly due to him constantly needing to do something, whether it?s productive or not, as long as it?s something to be done is all that really matters. Though this tends to have the drawback of short nights or generally sleepless nights.

Ability: Vital Spirit

Moves: Howl, Scary Face, Rock Throw, Crush Claw, Rock Slide, Sand Attack

Alakazam?s Guild Questionnaire
Please answer these questions as honestly as possible.
You are recommended to answer these questions in character.


1. Somebody calls you ?weird but funny.? How does that make you feel?

?Eh? What?s that supposed to mean? They wanna? pick a fight!??

2. The road forks to the right and left. You are told there is a treasure on the right. What do you do?

?Obviously to the right! You?ll never get a second chance, and you won?t know till ya try!?

3. Spring, summer, fall, or winter? Which season do you like best and why?

?Huh? that?s actually a little difficult, though I do have to say either Fall or Winter. It?s when things get chilly and the nights get longer. Gives me a bit more reason to stay up!?

4. When it?s all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?

?Alright, I?m a little boastful, so what? If there?s something that needs to be done, then I?ll get it done!?

5. What makes you special?

?Eh, not much, though I know I can?t exactly nod off that easily. So I?m well adjusted to the dark and long hours.?

If there's anything I need to change or improve, let me know!

Age: 12
Gender: Male
Species: Solosis

Appearance: Your typical Solosis, with the addition of two free-floating monocles within its body.
Personality: A touch on the nerdy side. Years of being pushed around, bullied, and made to act as different round food objects along with his seventy brothers and sisters has taken its toll on his mental state, causing him to be quickly irritated - although, he's still a bit of a pushover since he doesn't have any hands to push back with.

Ability: Regenerator
Moves: Wonder Room / Psychic / Future Sight / Endeavor / Recover / Trick

1. Somebody calls you ?weird but funny.? How does that make you feel?

Why... I thought that after I became a guildmember something might change... but it's still... it's still always the same.

2. The road forks to the right and left. You are told there is a treasure on the right. What do you do?

Oooh you know I'm going to the right. Maybe if I pick up some good loot, I'll gain some respect.

3. Spring, summer, fall, or winter? Which season do you like best and why?

Definitely winter. Most of the people that pick on me tend to go to sleep around that point in time so it's quite peaceful for me personally.

4. When it?s all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?

Until I evolve and become like my Ma and Pa... I'm stuck to saying more than I can do.

5. What makes you special?

My desire to change and become stronger, to become more useful to my new guild is what makes me special.

Name: Ara | Age: 23 | Gender: Female | Species: Pikachu
tumblr_ngxvkoZMQn1ty9rloo1_250.png


Appearance:
She stands at your average height for her species, her ears always pinned down. They frame her face due to the slowpoke headscarf she dons. A shellder pin keeps it held tight, visible underneath the chin. Matching the adorable piece is a similarly colored tail warmer that encapsulates more than half of her zig-zagging tail.

Other than that, she's simply a regular-looking Pikachu.​

Personality:
A gullible thing that indulges in sweets. Despite being clumsy, easily amused, and rather emotional, she does carry strengths. Ara strives to give it her all in every task, no matter how mundane or trivial. After all, slow and steady wins the race. In addition to this she has shown to be both a fast learner and capable of amazing feats of memorization. But that's as far as she goes, being more booksmart than hands-on.

When it comes to interactions the Pikachu can be quite talkative when given the opportunity. Furthermore she tends to grow attached rather easily, finding comfort when with company than on her lonesome.​

Ability: Lightning Rod
Moves: Disarming Voice | Thundershock | Quick Attack | Electro Ball | Thunder Wave | Feint

Alakazam?s Guild Questionnaire

Somebody calls you ?weird but funny.? How does that make you feel?

"Happy that they think I'm funny! I know I can be weird, and I know I'm not funny... so to hear somebody say I am makes me happy."​

The road forks to the right and left. You are told there is a treasure on the right. What do you do?

"Oh my, I don't know... I want to say to the right, but only if it's safe or if I'm with somebody. I get scared too easily."​

Spring, summer, fall, or winter? Which season do you like best and why?

"I can't choose, I love them all! Spring brings the flowers and nature to bloom, summer is warm and has perfect days, fall has that amazing scent of pumpkin spice and perfect balance between hot and cold, and winter looks so beautiful... um, cold, but I do love cuddling in blankets as it snows."​

When it?s all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?

"Um. I try to not say too much or put too much on myself because I know I'm clumsy and forgetful. I want to believe I do more than I say... but I... I wouldn't know."​

What makes you special?

"I don't have a lot of talents, but I do want to learn about everything and learn how to do everything. I'm not strong... um, I'm not that smart either, but I do try. I'll do my best!"​

Name: Nicholas ?Nick? Razor / Age: 17 / Gender: Male / Species: Gligar​
LAUQAIF.png


Appearance:
Nicholas's physical appearance doesn't vary much from the average Gligar, save for his wing flaps: they are colored an emerald green instead of the usual blue, an anomaly he was born with. Nicholas can often be seen wearing a pair of aviator goggles on his forehead, used for when he goes soaring through the air.​


Personality:
On the surface it seems like Nick doesn't take himself--or pretty much anything?seriously, something that's readily apparent from the first time you meet him. He has a very good sense of humor and genuinely enjoys being foolish no matter what the situation is. Because of that, despite having only recently joined Alakazam's guild, he has earned a reputation for being immature, or towards those who are older than him, a lack of respect for his elders. He refuses to change though, brushing off any complaints about his immaturity. Those who work with Nick will soon discover that he's a bit of a scatterbrain and irresponsible, too, often losing track of things vital to a successful exploration, perhaps adding to the frustration of working with him. Even if everything has gone completely awry, Nick takes it upon himself to see the bright side of every situation with his unwavering optimism.

Whatever is lost within his immaturity and irresponsibility is gained in how persistent he is. Once Nick sets his mind to something, he'll never give up on accomplishing it, even if it means losing sight of the bigger picture and smaller details. Nick's incredible sense of loyalty towards those he cares for also leads to him making hasty decisions without asking for second opinions. If there is one thing Nick hates though, it would be talking about himself. Any attempts at talking about himself and his personal life results in him being very evasive about the situation until the topic is changed.​



Ability:
Hyper Cutter​
Moves:
Poison Sting, Knock Off, Quick Attack, Sand Attack, Harden, Night Slash​



Alakazam's Guild Questionnaire:

Somebody calls you ?weird but funny.? How does that make you feel?
?At least someone's laughing at what I'm putting out. Or maybe they're laughing at me if they think I'm weird, heh. Either way, I'm glad they think I'm funny. I'm not exactly sure how to feel about the ?weird? part but, meh. I won't put much into it.?​

The road forks to the right and left. You are told there is a treasure on the right. What do you do?
?Part of me would think that the right path is a trap, and if you're going somewhere, it's probably not a good idea to take any detours... But, man, who's going to just give up the prospect of treasure like that? I'd definitely take the right path, yeah!?​

Spring, summer, fall, or winter? Which season do you like best and why?
?Summer's the best, in my opinion. Fall and winter are way too cold for me. Spring is nice but summer is when its nice and hot and the days are shorter. Now if only winter was shorter...?​

When it?s all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
?I'll do my best until the very end! ...Are my jokes included in how much I've said, though? Cause, uh, it might be impossible for me to do more than what I've said in that case. I talk a lot.?​

What makes you special?
?My green wing flaps are pretty cool, aren't they?! But... I would say that my ability to see almost the good side of anything is pretty special. Everyone says that I'm just ?silly? and that I should ?mature? and ?act my age,? but I hate being uptight 'n stuff... To be honest, I'm not sure what truly makes me special.?​

Name: Matthew "Matt" Shale
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Species: Alolan Graveler

Appearance: His appearance is no different from that of a regular Alolan Graveler except for that he has a yellow stone on his forehead.

Personality: A firm believer in Helixism, a religion that believes that Arceus created the universe and left Lord Helix the Omastar to rule over earth, he sometimes clashes with those of other faiths. Although he might seem stern and serious around strangers, he often loosens up around people he knows better. One of his biggest struggles socially is that he has trouble hiding his emotions through his facial expressions. Sometimes he will randomly stare off into space blankly, and afterwards his vocabulary ends up somewhat slurred for the next three to five minutes afterwards (this is likely due to some head trauma he suffered as a child). He enjoys reading, learning about ancient cultures, and rock and tree climbing and his biggest fear is being choked,despite it being particularly difficult for this to be done.

His father was a Ferrathorn and his mother was an Alolan Golem, who died when he was two. As a result of the her death, Matt rarely talks about the topic and secretly yearns for a motherly figure in his life. He is also an only child.

Ability: Sturdy
Moves: Thunder Punch, Rock Climb, Spark, Stealth Rock, Smack Down, Rock Polish

Alakazam's Guild Questionaire
Please answer these questions as honestly as possible.

Someone calls you "weird but funny." How does that make you fell?
"I guess I feel satisfied that someone can find positives in me."

The road forks left and right. You are told there is a treasure on the right. What do you do?
"If I had the time I would do both, but if I had to pick I feel that I would be more inclined to go left, but for the most part it depends on the situation."

Spring, summer, fall, or winter... Which season do you like the most and why?
"Spring because it is as warm as summer without being as buggy."

When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you have done?
"Nope. I'm a kind of person who lets their actions speak louder than words, so it would be the other way around."

What makes you special?
"I can climb trees despite seeming too heavy to climb them."
