Excuse the double post, but my stomach and I are on speaking terms again. In lieu of this peace treaty, I announce my return.

No problem. I am going to break away for now so I know I can get stuff done in the RP that I want to get done. We can JP together at a later time if you don't mine. I am glad you seem to be feeling better.

Once I catch my next pokemon, I think I will have plenty of time to start up our JP again, unless you want to wait for the next IC day.

I think I have a lot to catch up in the IC. Can I get a list of important events which got completed/is going on? It'd help me decide if I should join or not.

it's mostly just introductions that you missed. I don't think you missed anything THAT important. Mostly just filler :D

Yeah, nothing important per se. Lots of introductions, people meeting each other archenemies made, pokemon caught and personal story lines began. So come join the fun!

Name: Soul Datheon



Nickname (Optional):

- Daichi [A name given to him by the Trial Captain, Acerola]



Age (10-15): 14



Sex (Male or Female): Male [He/Him/His]



Dorm: Suicune Dorm




Appearance:


large.jpg




In addition to this, He wears a black pant with a pair of eye-catching green sneakers.






Personality:

Soul is a calm person, who maintains a cool demeanor around in most cases. The constant taunts and insults thrown at him raised his resistance towards them. Despite his attempts to be friendly, His 'friends' would leave him because of the insults and him being defenceless. He is friendly and shares everything with his father who works in a mine. He has a never-give-up attitude which makes him keep going despite the constant bullying and his poverty. He shares a good relationship with the elders of his hometown, Malie City as He would help them with chores and watering their garden as well as the Malie Garden. When his residence was shifted to the Tapu Village, He would often go around to play as the village was filled with kind people. He is friendly and kind to his Pokémon, regarding them as friends as he never calls them a 'Pokémon'. This fact leads to many people think that he is referring to a human being. Contrast to his defenceless skills, After he got his first Pokémon, He would challenge the bullies, defeating them and also earning money. This developed a passion for battling to him as He would go around, challenging trainers whenever he see one.



History:

Fate started to play in his life since his birth. While giving birth to him, His mother left her life. Hiding the sorrow of his wife's death, His father raised Soul with love and affection. As he grew up, He started to make good friends and.... enemies as well. He became the group of bullies' main target for a reason he doesn't know. They would drench his clothes with their water Pokémon and tackle him with their normal Pokémon. But, Their surprise was that he didn't even fight back as He got up and silently walked away. This was a result of his father's words:

"Workers get bruised, insulted and taunted. But when they rise, Even the world would struggle to stop them."



As the time passes, He reached the age of 10. That is when the bullying got severe. He discovered the reason for the bullying: Jealousy. Because of his friendly nature, Knowingly or unknowingly, He made friends with the girls which the bullies couldn't do. But because of his defencelessness, His friends started to leave him as He became more of a lone wolf.

Later, After two years, His father's salary wasn't enough to pay the rent at their residence in Malie City. Soon, They were kicked out of their house as they moved to the Tapu Village where the kind people offered them a place to live. One day, While he was playing with his new friends, He got lost. In an attempt to get back home, He reached the 'Thrifty Supermart' or commonly known as the 'Abandoned Site'. Mistaken as a trial goer, The Trial Captain Acerola took him inside the site before locking the door. He wandered around the olden supermart, coming across the Ghost Type Pokémon which let him go when they were aware he didn't have a Pokémon. Entering the totem room, He faced the Totem Pokémon, Mimikyu which lunged forward to attack. He narrowly avoided and started to run for his life. Confused, The totem checked if he had a Poké Ball. After confirming, The Totem let him go. When he was about to leave, A Mimikyu jumped at him, climbing his head. They both shared their thoughts in a room. They both were similar. Covering their emotions and looking for love and affection. When he exited the abandoned site, The disguise Pokémon followed him. Acerola gladly asked him to take the Mimikyu which he was hesitant as he didn't have a Poké Ball but caught the Pokémon by the Pokéball the Trial Captain gave him. The Mimikyu tends to stay out of the Poké Ball. This changed his life entirely. He would battle trainers, winning in most of the battles. It also gained him some money which he used to buy a spare Poké Ball while giving the rest to his beloved father. Soon, He caught a Rockruff from the wild. From the money Soul gave and his salary, His father enrolled him in the Trainer's Academy to encourage his son's career.

Name: Brooklyn O'Hara

Nickname: Brook

Age: 13

Sex: Female

Dorm: Raikou

Appearance: Standing at 5'5, she is quite tall for her age – the fact that she likes to wear heeled combat boots when possible makes her appear even taller. She has messy blonde hair reaching her collarbone, with her roots a darker brown colour. As someone who cares a lot about appearance, she keeps her hair as tidy as possible – when it isn't left hanging onto her shoulders, it's likely to be in a messy bun on top of her head. Her eyes are brown, and more often than not have some form of eyeshadow or eyeliner on; however this makeup does not tend to be extreme, unless in formal situations.
She tends to stick to simple, yet fashionable clothing – she spends a lot of time making sure her outfit matches. She's realised recently that, if she's going to be looking after Pokémon in potentially extreme environments, she needs to tone down a bit, going for trousers or jeans and slightly more comfortable clothing when exploring. When she needs to be formal, she'll spend a lot of time ensuring her outfit is perfect.

Personality: Brook is a somewhat outgoing person on the outside, preferring to spend time with people and Pokémon as opposed to being alone, however she tends to find it hard to make friends and become close to someone. She is easy-going and can get along with most people, but as soon as the interaction is over, she picks apart everything she said and did to find something to worry about. This is a particular flaw of hers – despite appearing to be good at social interaction, she will always find an issue. This generally is not a problem when she is with people - she is too focused on whatever is going on – but as soon as she's alone with her thoughts she'll scare herself into thinking she did something wrong.

She likes to do well, and will try her hardest to fulfil every task she is given; however she finds it quite hard. Despite her determination to do well, and her longing to be liked by others, she gets distracted quite easily when it comes to written work. If she is out with Pokémon, training them or battling someone on one of the battlefields, she tends to be fine, but when it comes to studying, unless it is something she enjoys or finds interesting, she'll find it hard to keep on track.

Overall, she tries her hardest to do well and to be liked, however it all comes crashing down when she overthinks things. Due to this, she often prefers to be with Pokémon, as she knows they won't care if she makes a mistake.

History: Adopted as a young child by a couple in Solaceon Town, Brook lived most of her life helping with her adopted parents running the Day Care. She's not sure who her parents are or how she came to the couple at the Day Care, and her parents have never told her anything about it – but then again, she's never asked. Having lived a happy life there for as long as she can remember, she never really thought about her birth parents, and she's never cared enough to go to her parents and ask. They might tell her if she were to want to know, but as far as she's concerned, Solaceon Town is her home, and the couple at the Day Care are her parents.

Since she was a young child, she's helped at the Day Care whenever possible. When she was a toddler, she'd befriend many of the Pokémon sent there, many of them caring for her and spending their time protecting her from non-existent dangers. Though she was never left on her own with any of the Pokémon at a young age, it wouldn't have mattered if she was – she was treated by the majority of the Pokémon as if she was their kin, and could often be found asleep, head resting on the tail of a Growlithe, or snuggled up with a Buneary.

When she grew older, she continued to help look after the Pokémon who came to the Day Care whenever she wasn't in Veilstone City for school. Her school life wasn't bad: she had friends, she got along with most people – well, she wasn't bullied, at least – and she enjoyed the work as much as you can enjoy schoolwork. In class, she'd always listen and do the work, leaving the other kids to be the ones who got in trouble for talking. In the playground, however, she would sometimes get in trouble for not listening to the teachers, or arguing with other students (despite never having started the arguments herself). Being in a school so close to the gym, they would sometimes get visits from gym trainers and Maylene alike. She very much looks up to Maylene, and, despite not particularly wanting to follow in her footsteps of being a gym leader, preferring to look after Pokémon rather than fight them, she admires her.

As a child working at the Day Care, the regulars all seem to like her, sometimes bringing her sweets or having a conversation with her whilst her parents were collecting their Pokémon. Her parents and her were quite close to a few regulars, to the point where they knew her birthday, and would always bring their Pokémon in to see her that day, even if they didn't need the Day Care service. On her eleventh birthday, one of the regulars came to collect his Arcanine, who Brook had known since she was a toddler, and another Pokémon, whom she had never seen before. When he came out, he was carrying an egg, which he gave to her with a grin, wishing her a happy birthday. Her parents were smiling behind him, indicating that this had been a gift for her birthday.

Soon enough, she had a baby Growlithe, who she named Nala, to look after. Soon, her parents suggested that her and Nala go to the Trainer Academy, and, after being told too many times that the Day Care would be okay without her, she finally decided to go.

Pokémon
Species: Growlithe
Nickname: Nala
Personality: Nala is extremely energetic, and loves exploring. She is always eager to battle other Pokémon, and sometimes she'll overestimate herself, attempting to battle something a lot more powerful than her.
Lvl: 7
Moves: Bite, Ember, Iron Tail, Flamethrower, Double Team

Phew! Sorry for taking so long to get around to stuff folks. The holiday season was busier for me than I expected and I got hit with a pretty nasty cold/flu/death thing. Anyway!

Malanaphii My personal feelings for Phi Phi O'Hara aside (tired ass showgirl don't you know) you are of course accepted. Another woman for Raikou Dorm!

Wawi2018 You're also accepted - although as a note, you seem to have a tendency to capitalize after a comma. Not sure if this is a personal idiosyncrasy or some odd spellchecker shenanigans but your writing would read a lot smoother without it. Glad to have you! Mimikyu hasn't made an appearance in the RP yet so that should be fun. You should join our discord, we use it pretty exhaustively.




Everyone the first IC day will soon be coming to an end so I suggest you start wrapping up any adventures your character is currently involved in, or prepare a big post to explain what happened to them when the next IC day starts. Speaking of which...

The second IC day will begin on January 8th! I've pushed it back a few days because I got behind on stuff but this gives everyone a full week to get ready.

Please post here, private message me or dm me on discord with your characters name and whether you are opting IN or OUT of IC classes on the next day. If opting in, please also let me know which class you would ideally like your character to be part of on that day - I can't promise they'll be in it but I'll do my best to keep as many peoples wishes in mind as possible. Don't worry though, even if you're not in the class you would have liked I'll make sure it's still a class that makes sense for your character! Unless you request otherwise, of course.

As usual, any questions just hit me up and I'll do my best to answer them. Happy New Year and Happy New IC Day!

Lucas will take classes, ideally Pokemon Biology, Pokemon Mythology, Steel-type Specialist, Fire-type Specialist, and Pokemon Trivia. I don't want all of these in one day, this is just a list of classes I would like Lucas to take over several days.

I think it's probably a more handy way to let everyone know if you're opting in or out of classes by saying it in your discord journal channel.

Dallas will be opting in classes.

Cooking and Culinary Skills and Eggs & Breeding are his two main ones he would enjoy. But I myself don't mind what classes he gets.

L'belle -- Having classes listed there doesn't necessarily mean a player wants their character to take them on Day 2.

I can't join Discord. My browser and mobile are too old for it. So... Is there any problem with it?
Because this thread has only seen practical use so far, not having the Discord essentially excludes you from most of the player interaction behind Trainer's Academy. It's usually misc. conversation, but it's also been used and is at present the easiest way to receive post feedback, discuss character direction, things like that. Ideally, there would be more conversation here as to not exclude you, so I -- and hopefully others -- would happily partake in any discussion you kickstarted on the site itself.
