A New Professor in Town - Kanto Adventure PG13 OOC Thread

[Zeph.]

Wow, one year? That's impressive :P Can't wait to start RPing with you all :D

 

[slls81]

@Izuna - Yeah, Amoire of Invincibility has put it up already, so you can get working on the next bit straight away :P

@Zeph - Thanks, yeah hopefully we'll be starting soon :)

p.s. went back to the old name I see, or at least a variation of it :P

 

[{Swan}]

But I like You Had Me At Hello, it's cute =] Always makes me smile when I read it, cause I'm just a sobby romantic like that xD
Congrats on the one year, it really takes a lot to make it that far, let's make it two, shall we?
Can't wait to start roleplaying, it should be awesome =3

 

[slls81]

@Luigi-a - Hee hee thanks. Yep two years sounds good :D

p.s. I replied to your PM....

Okay i wanted to ask a favour of Amoire of Invincibility and Izuna...

In the posts between regions, would it be okay if I bunnied your characters a little? I'll try to remain as true to their characters as possible while doing so.

The posts will centre around Professor Maple, but your trainers will also be involved, and it would make my life a lot easier if I could god mod a little. It won't be much, just reactionary stuff. If you would prefer me not to then I'll find another way of making it work, but as I said it would make my life a lot easier if you said yes...

So yeah, let me know :)

 

[I Laugh at your Misfortune!]

Nah, that sounds fine :D Go right ahead!

 

[slls81]

@Amoire of Invincibility - Thank you kindly :D

 

[slls81]

Deadline day for final posts! Excited much? xD

 

[Zeph.]

Awsome! I'm enjoying reading these posts, there really well written :D

 

[slls81]

Awsome! I'm enjoying reading these posts, there really well written :D

Good to know your reading up :)

@Amoire of Invincibility & Izuna - I had a go at tidying up the first post of this thread (It was a bit of a mess :P). I think it's right now, but could you double check that I haven't made any mistakes please :)

n.b. Once we start the next chapter of the RP I will add all of the new trainers to the post. I haven't forgotten about you xD

 

[King!]

OOHHHHH!!!

I just CAN'T WAIT to start this RP! The more I think about it, the more excited i get. And the more excited I get, the more I wanna think about it! EEEKK!!!

Anyways(:P), we decided that Mr.Briney was taking the trainers to Hoenn, and that he gota pokedex from Maple, and he found a Pichu on board while driving there? And he's talking to you-know-who, and Jazmine hears, and so on?

 

[{Swan}]

New profile, because It talked to You Had Me about it :D
Though now the history might not fit... =(
Oh well xD I'll change it if I must, no biggie.

Name: Louisa "Lou" Fisher
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Lou is in most things very average. Her height is an ordinary 1.62, she's not particularly curvy, neither is she obese. She has strong muscles however, from hard work, though hidden from plain view. She has light blue eyes that are always cheerful, with a smile to match. Her face is very freckled and a bit tanned from spending long hours in the sun. Lou has honey blonde hair that's completely straight and a little above should length. She has thin bangs swept to the side and often wears headbands in her hair.

Lou's favourite colour is yellow, and that's noticeable in her clothing. She wears a yellow tee with black accents on top of a pair of white short shorts with a black belt over top. Attached to the belt are two equally black bags with bright yellow ribbons that carry small stuff. Over the tee she wears a blue jean jacket that is almost as long as the shorts with yellow accents. To continue with the colour scheme, she wears blue socks that show up just a little under the yellow rubber boots. The headband that she carries with her is also black. Yes, she likes her colours.

To carry more of her stuff she carries a small round duffel bag with her, appropriately coloured white with several black and yellow ribbons tied around the clips of the several pockets. Inside is the common necessities of a traveler. An overly large map of Hoenn, some clips to hold her hair back, a sleeping bag folded into its smallest possible size and, of course, a flash light. Who would go anywhere without a flashlight?

Personality: Lou's a small town girl through and through. She grew up on a farm, what would you expect? Working through the orchards did teach her discipline and hard work, she can work for hours in the full sun, picking fruits, and not even complain. That's, of course, where she got her healthy tan and strong muscles from. A full basket of apples didn't weight nothing.
Lou always has a smile on her face, it's almost like it's been genetically built into her. She's a cheerful child through and through, and will always try to cheer others up too.

She has buckets of energy, and a healthy appetite for anything sugary or sweet. Of course, she loves fruit too, she has to love fruit, for she's been eating a lot of it all her life. She likes people, and people generally like her. She just has this adorable streak that especially adults have a difficult time not to love. The big smile, doe eyes and adorable freckles tend to do that for you.
Although Lou's such a sweet girl, she also has a shy streak. She doesn't like being in the center of attention, and gets embarrassed easily. She has no problems talking to a random person, but as soon as all the eyes are turned to her, she's bright red and stuttering, bless her.


History: Lou grew up on an orchard somewhere near Fallarbor Town. She was the only child of two very determined farmers, and so she grew up. Because the farm was quite a ways from Littleroot by foot, the girl was pretty much homeschooled for all of her life. Since she could walk she had been helping out in the farms. She used to just come along with her parents in the summer and autumn months where the harvesting season would be there and she'd sit in the shade and do her school work while her parents worked. It didn't take long for them to employ her too. She only picked until she was old and strong enough to carry the baskets.


Lou's 10th birthday came and went, but since Lou had always been homeschooled, she felt no pressure to take off on a Pokémon journey. Little did she know that it might be the chance for her, and that there might not be anyone that would offer a beginning to those who are over the age of 10. She was just the hardworking girl on that farm somewhere there. But when the opportunity arose, her parents were the first to tell her to take it. And they didn't have to ask twice, for Lou was already away packing her bags.
Starter Choice: Ponyta

PS. SO EXCITED.

[King!]

Announcement: Sam Saruno is the new Pokemon League Champion!!! Congratulations to Izuna for this accomplishment :)

On another note, I guess that's Kanto pretty much done... bar some between region posts by yours truly and mayb a victory ceremony post from Izuna. I'm amazed we've got the RP this far, so once again thankyou to everyone who participated. :D

@Izuna - Okay made that change for you :)

[drunk ¬_¬]

iight,
first of all, congratulations izuna!!!
and you too AoI... (i was actually rooting for warren on this one ¬¬)

anyways, i re-read my su and decided to rename my char, so:

Spoiler:

Name: Vitor Aurelio

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Appearance: Vitor is rather short compared to other kids his age, standing at 5'00" (and a half as he rather enjoys arguing). This is further accentuated by his light frame that causes him to be much lighter than his friends, and over time made him become the butt of jokes or pranks. His body is rather slim, because of countless hours that he spends swimming, surfing, and even snorkeling in the coast.

His hair is black in color, and he keeps it in dreadlocks that he usually ties back into a ponytail. His skin is very dark, he has black, bloodshot eyes that seem to never be truly focused and drift past the material world into some sort of daydream. His face is, like his body, really slim, devoid of excess fat, and his cheeks seem to suck in, showing prominent cheek and jawbones. He has a scar behind his right shoulder that was caused by a surfing crash. An odd attribute of his is that his teeth are scarily white.

Vitor usually wears really light clothing, as he spends most of his time at the sea, and dislikes using shoes, or anything that would enclose (or 'trap') his feet. Normally he likes to wear a white 'wifebeater', with an optional unbuttoned shirt on top of it, and matching swimming trunks. He especially likes his blue & white colored shorts, as well as his brown & orange colored ones. Flip-flops are optional.

Personality: Being the shortest kid in the bunch, Vitor has huge self-esteem problems for a kid his age. After having much deliberation and debate with himself, he came to the conclusion that he'd be able to overshadow this… by pointing out the flaws on other people. He tried his hypothesis out, but it would not go as he had planned. This behavior led him to go from the popular kid he used to be to an alienated classmate who would rather spend his time at the sea with the older surfers, or damn well by himself. Thus, he has started to become more and more separated from the world. To make matters worse, he's beginning to forget things. Whether this is Alz-Heimer's or not, or if this is even connected to his latest way of acting, or just plain distractedness from his part is not know, but what is known is that according to the doctor… right now, a journey is too dangerous.

Although these attributes seem to make him into some sort of snotty, loner, who doesn't mind about a thing in the world except himself (read: narcissist), there is more than just this face to him. When someone with patience, or sometimes, just luck comes into Vitor's life, and is able to get past his defenses, one really gets to appreciate what this kid has to offer. Vitor is in reality a really caring person, and a romantic at heart.

History: Born in Pacifidlog Town, Johto, Vitor isn't used to the big city. He has lived in a rural and remote area, and this has changed and shaped him into who he is now. He has one younger sister, Kelly, who is ten years old now, and is a complete social butterfly. She loves hanging out with her friends, playing and going on trips. She is very similar to her brother personality-wise, I mean, how her brother used to be.

Vitor always had the fame of being one of the most popular kids at school, and in second grade he had already assembled the biggest, and meanest crew in school. He had several friends who helped him devise plans to make pranks on girls, teachers, nerds, and sometimes even the third graders. His friends were with him in everything, with Charlie being his best friend, and right-hand man. Rodman (as they called him) was a bigger, fatter, and heavier bully who had secretly admired Vitor's craftiness at their young age. He also hung out with Mark, the smart kid, and Elijah, the crazy psychotic kid who ate bugs, and wrote on paper with his own blood, among other lackeys. Yes, with this group they were invincible, and not even the girls (their second-worst enemy) OR their girl germs (their worst enemy) could beat them. They were the school heroes for the guys. But something went awfully wrong.

As they continued to grow, and eventually reach the girls' height, Vitor's crew seemed to have left someone behind… Vitor. He simply saw as everyone's eyes began to get farther up and farther away from him. The back of his neck had begun to cramp up because he started to HAVE to look up to see his friends' faces. He became depressed.

It was in this depression that Vitor began to distance himself from everyone else. Sure, they made fun of him, but they loved him… and Vitor knew this… but it just felt wrong. Rapidly shoving his friends aside, he began to notice how one by one they stopped waiting for him, until only Mark was left. Then again, it only took a few more time for him to get tired of waiting as well. It was at this point when Vitor finally found in the sea and in Pokémon what he had been seeking for from the second he was surpassed. Peace… detachedness.

Vitor loved Pokémon and still loves his friends, but they were quick to leave on their journeys while he had to stay because of his 'volatile' state. His parents were very worried for him, since the doctor had said that his state of mind was self-destructive, and that he wouldn't recommend having Vitor leave on a journey since it'd be dangerous for him. However, a fated encounter with Steven Stone, a former Pokémon Champion, allowed his parents to realize that if anything woud 'cure' Vitor, it would be Pokémon, and now that he's become fourteen, Vitor is finally being allowed to part on a mission to find himself.

Starter Choice: Psyduck "image removed"
RP Sample from ShadowDragon~'s A Journey in Disguise:

Spoiler:

Name: Tito Daviles
Location: Olivine City [FONT=&quot]→[/FONT] Goldenrod City [FONT=&quot]→[/FONT] New Bark Town

Tito had gone to sleep, and didn't wake up until he heard a loud horn bellowing from the ship. "Attention everyone, the boat has reached Olivine City! Please make sure you do not forget anything in the ship. Thank you for your preference, have a nice day!" Tito knobbed his fingers over his eyes, squinting as the light flickered into them. 'Of course' Tito thought having been confused at first. 'Even the sailors are putting their lives at risk by bringing us to Olivine… that's why they need to stage the show that we're just a normal passenger ship! His eyes became tearful upon the realization. 'I will not allow these bastards to keep terrorizing my home!

Overflowing with determination, Tito picked up his personal belongings, and walked as powerfully as he could onto the main hall, where he was directed to the exit by a ship attendant. As Tito walked outside, the breath of fresh air immediately awoke him, and in the matter of a second, helped refresh his memories of everything that had occurred so far. He opened his eyes, and with a refreshed look, he continued forwards.

As Tito stepped onto the dock, he felt the sensation of being wobbly, like when you try to get up after being knocked down. He took a second to plant himself to the wood, and kept on walking like nothing, even though he had been in the water for the most part of his day already. As he began approaching the city, he noticed a line of Team Rocket members who were asking for ID cards, prompting him to take out his.

"ID" a Team Rocket stopped him upon approaching.

"Here" Tito replied as he showed the agent his ID.

The Rocket inspected the card in front of him before handing it back to the trainer in front of him. The Olivine train to Goldenrod will depart exactly at 1700 hours… be punctual.

Tito took his ID back from the agent, and not bothering to respond, he started to make his way towards the train station. He wouldn't need to stop anywhere else, and staying in front of the terminal would be the most foolproof way to not miss the train. As he walked away however, he noticed that some of the other trainers had begun to start scenes against the Team Rocket agents who were inspecting the dock (much to his dismay). Tito simply took a mental note as to who not to work with. No one was going to make him blow his cover, no señor.

Tito made his way to the train station trying to get away from the scene as soon as possible. He didn't really care about the future of those who were being foolish back there; after all, if they got caught they would damn well deserve it he thought. He walked through the main road with the damned red R stitched to his back, which attracted both glares, and fright from the crowd of people in the street. It broke his heart to be seen like that, but this mission would later pay off, and worrying about the public image at this point would not be the smartest thing really. Finally reaching the train central, Tito went to the restroom, bought water and fruit (yes, fruit) and released Tyrogue who sat besides him, and they both began eating quietly.

* * * * * After a few hours waiting in the Station, the train finally arrived * * * * *

"Alright, 9 o' clock," Tito said as he got up "let's go Tyrogue." He then proceeded to board the train.

The train ride was rather uneventful, he could recognize some of the people from before, but didn't bother to walk up to them and talk, rather he just sat down, and drifted into a deep sleep before being waken up by an assistant who informed him of their arrival to Goldenrod City. 'Alright, we're just a bus ride away from meeting this Professor Namba' Tito thought as he got up, turned around to get his belongings, and departed the train.

On the station, he followed the arrows, which pointed towards the bus terminal. There he transferred to a bus headed to New Bark Town. Tito gripped Tyrogue's Pokéball tightly, and thought in a concerned manner: 'We're almost the Tyrogue… don't worry about a thing.'

Yet on another uneventful trip, Tito's body almost exploded. He was way too active to lead such a low-key life! First class boat ride to Olivine, private train ride to Godenrod City, and the commercial bus ride to New Bark Town were simply not cutting it. Upon reaching the small town, Tito jumped out of his seat, walked hurriedly outside the bus, and took a deep breath upon reaching the fresh air of The Town Where the Winds of a New Beginning Blow.

Hastily he ran eastward, he had been here once before and remembered that although small, New Bark Town's coast was the most similar to that of Cianwood City. Upon reaching it however, he noticed, that Team Rocket had had its impact here too, as the coast was overflowing with trash, which made most of the species of Pokémon who lived there escape, leaving only Tentacool and Magikarp. 'Pity.' Tito thought as he sat down on the sand and let out a sigh. 'I got to go to Professor Elm's Lab… apparently that's where Professor Namba installed himself anyways' he thought as he got up and scrubbed off the sand on his pants.

He walked towards the northern part of the city where Professor Namba's Lab was located just south of a deserted forest. Attempting to head in he was stopped by a lab assistant who was holding a clipboard with a red R on the right chest pocket of his otherwise white lab coat. "ID" the scientist hissed through his brackets, prompting Tito to show his ID to the man silently. The lab assistant however was not satisfied with just the ID. Raising an eyebrow, he looked up at Tito through his thick glasses, and asked: "And who recruited you?"

Had he found something? Was he onto the Gym Leader's plans? Tito gulped before responding in a confident voice: "Doctor Wolfe."

"I understand Doctor Wolfe has been taking in recruits quite hastily these days." Not being able to find any fault with Tito however, he proceeded to let him in. "Take this, I'll take you to Professor Namba." He said as he returned the ID.

It didn't take long to reach Prof. Namba's private office, it was in here that the lab assistant dropped Tito off.

"So you say your name is Roberto Daviles… here we go… Dr. Wolfe again, weird…" the Prof. started talking, first directly at Tito before drifting off into his own little world. "Alright!" he jolted up from the seat after about two or three minutes of checking his computer. "I've got to talk to you." He continued straightening up, and looking directly at Tito's eyes.

"First off, this Team Rocket deal is nothing to be taken lightly… there is nothing you can do about it now, but you can't be half-assed with it, let's say it's… dangerous to do that. So, right now, you're what we call a private… a simple grunt" he said accentuating the demeaning grunt part quite effectively. "Anyways, you'll go through what we call a Rocket Journey. You can use this time to both, rise in rank by defeating the Rocket leaders, and strengthen yourself. To think that even Jessie and James could be promoted to generals…" he paused as he began to drift off to his own world yet again.

"Oh, sorry about that" he said looking up at Tito. "Anyways, here you go." He said taking out a box and opening it after placing it on top of his desk. "These are some Pokéballs, a Pokégear, and a PokéDex, I'm sure I don't need to elaborate on." Tito simply nodded remembering the chip that lay in his bag. "Very well, and one last thing, you might want to use this." He said as he held out a strange-looking device(?). "It'll make your Pokémon stronger… there are still some side effects like personality-loss, but who cares about that right?" he asked with a malicious chuckle. He was so proud of this thing, that he was almost certainly its inventor.

Tito shared the professor's laugh. He had absolutely no intention of using it, but even less intention of jeopardizing the whole mission. If he was acting like a Rocket, he was going for the Oscar. "This'll be helpful." He lied to the scientist.

Another assistant who was much more laid off than both of his co-workers was promptly ordered to guide him out to a building where he would stay for the night. "Thank you" was the first, last, and only thing Tito told him, and the assistant left. Upon entering the building, Tito not trusting the Rockets headed to the bathroom, sat down in a stall, and inserted the chip into his PokéDex.

"Time to rumble." He told himself quietly.
