A New Professor in Town - Kanto Adventure PG13 OOC Thread

[Nakuzami]

OK, my SU is complete...I think.


I'll have to edit the pokemon though...

Spoiler:

Name: Kris Kollyns
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Kris is caucasian and stands at 5'4". He weighs about 110 lbs and has semi-long Dirty Blonde Hair. He has hazel eyes. He sometimes wears a Black beanie hat, always wears his cherished black and white checkered hoodie, even when the weather is sunny and it is 100 degrees. He usually wears a dark blue and black striped T-shirt. He wears dark blue or black jeans and black sneakers with a white trim.

Personality:
Kris is very anti-social to people he doesn't know. He is usually pretty bad on first impressions. He likes to stay isolated and not let people know what is going on in his life. He is also paranoid sometimes. Below all of his quirks he is actually pretty smart and enjoyable.

History:
Kris was never very social, sticking to technology as his friend. When the day that his adventure was supposed to start arrived, he was denied his chance. He got to Proffesor Oak's lab and saw all of the starter Pokemon being taken. Proffesor Oak apologized and said he had no more Pokemon to give. So, Kris stayed home. He often went to the boundaries of Pallet town and trained with his sister's Pokemon that were at his house.

Anywho, this is what I've managed to rumble up so far. It's missing the Pokemon section, and his Appearance, but I'll get round to them tomorrow...

A New Prof. in Town! (Hoenn Saga)

Name: Andrew 'Andy' King
Age: 14
Gender: Male

Appearance:

Personality: When it comes to social situations, Andy has always been a chatty character. He often looks for random conversations to jump into, no matter how much it doesn't concern him. This tends to be a little annoying to some, although Andrew seems to be completely oblivious to any of this. He tends to look on the bright side of things, and almost always makes jokes, even in some of the most serious situations, which are, fair to say, one of the most irritating things anyone can do.

He often acts stubborn, and highly head-strong, which, tied with his joker-like nature, causes him to run head first into some kind of dangerous situation, and usually, doesn't even realise what he has just done. In short, he's your general class-clown. A cheerful and comedic person to be around, for five minutes at least, at which point many people are infuriated by him.

When it comes to the Pokémon he catches and his battle style, it's rather less straight-forward. While Andy has no specific type preference, in battle, he uses a variety of confusing, and often ridiculous tactics and combinations to outwit and bewilder the foe. It seems to work well with the Pokémon he prefers, as they tend to specialise in stat-effecting moves and such.

History: Andrew was born and raised in Hoenn, or to be more specific, Rustboro City. He was born to Annabelle and Richard King, in a small apartment building near the north side of Rustboro. His father worked at the local Devon Corporation, designing new features for the PokéNav, and his mother worked at the local Pokémon trainer school. Andrew had never had a huge interest in Pokemon, and even up to his tenth Birthday, still had little knowledge of much about them. This all changed during one exploration of Route 104. He was out wandering, much like he usually does, when he came across a pack of Mightyena. They soon began to chase Andy, making him run as fast as he could in an attempt to head home.

Much to his luck, he managed to run straight through a gathering of Shroomish, who almost instantaneously released thousands of Spores which struck the attacking Dark-types, and paralysed them. It was from this point that he began to gain a love for Pokemon (And a fear for the Mightyena line), and also what he has based his battle style on.

The next year, he headed to Littleroot (Or wherever he gets his first Pokemon) and found a small Bellsprout, which seemed to already know some Status-based moves. As guessed, this became Andrew's first Pokémon, and his travels lead on from there.

[Doctor Who]

Name: Axella 'Axel' Mason

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: Axel can at the first sight be pretty intimidating. She's tall, with black, straight hair nine out of ten times pulled into a high ponytail, no bangs. Her eyes are a striking gray matched with a long face and prominent, almost hawk-like nose. To finish it Axel has rather dark, full lips that seem almost out of place on the very strict and unforgiving face. She has both of her ears pierced with small silver hoops, and she has a third stud at the top of her left ear. Her built is slender but with a certain amount of muscle. She's not weak, and especially her arms are quite strong indeed. The rest of her is all long and slender, and she has a well-toned stomach with a smaller chest and rather broad shoulders for a girl. All in all she could be called beautiful, but in a very unique and rather intimidating way. Especially since she spends most of her time glaring.

No matter the weather, Axel is most always seen wearing a pair of dark denim skinny jeans. They're easy and functional and just look nice. Over top of that she wears a pair of black boots with a small heel, not that she needs much of a hight booster. Her shirt is white with short sleeves and a boatneck. It has a print of green vines down the right side of it, though the rest is just plain white. Overtop of it she wears a black leather jacket whose sleeves are mostly pushed up to her elbow. When the tropical climate of Hoenn really sets in she'll take it off, but she prefers wearing it, heat or not. Lastly she has a yellow sash around her hips, stuck through the loops of her jeans. Attached to this sash are several rings that hold her filled Pokeball.

Lastly is her bag, a brown leather messenger bag that looks incredibly plain from the outside. On the inside it is lain with dark red fabric and has a ton of small pockets to stuff things in, it's very useful for organization, taken that you know where everything went. Axel keeps the things she might need quickly in a large pocket on the outside, things like the Pokedex or her empty Pokeball, her cellphone, the likes. The rest is all stuffed safely inside.

Personality: Axel is very independent, and she likes to keep it that way. She doesn't like accepting help, and prefers to remain stubborn and do things herself. Even if it's apparent that she can't do it herself, she'll still try. The only ones she'll voluntarily accept help from is her Pokemon, and that only because they are like her family, and she respects them that much. Most of them anyway. Besides the stubborn streak she's also a bit rash, she often jumps into things unprepared. Paired with the rashness goes a sense of hubris, she believes she could do anything, while in reality the opposite is truth. Overconfidence is not something Axel's a stranger to. Yet it's something she won't learn from, as she'll keep rushing head-first into things, independently.

Winning is something that has a lot of importance to Axel. She's very determined and will fight to the bitter end for anything. She can't stand losing, and therefore is an incredibly sore loser. Axel can also be rather irresponsible sometimes, especially when battles are concerned. She tends to lose herself with cold hard tactics and not thinking about the well-being of her Pokemon. She does love them dearly though, they're the closest she has to a family. She loves spoiling them and even sometimes babies them a little. She's definitely determined to make the most of her journey, and she her creatures be as tough as she can possibly make them.

History: Axel's mother was a single mom who accidentally ended up getting pregnant. She was supposed to give up the baby after birth for adoption but when she saw the baby she selfishly needed to keep it, and vowed to change her life around from the current life of alcohol and irresponsibility. That didn't last long. By the time Axel was three years old her mother drunk herself into death, and Axel was placed into an orphanage. She doesn't remember anything from the time she lived with her mother, though she supposes it's not something she'd want to remember anyhow. In any case she was placed into an orphanage in Rustboro city.

The orphanage was pretty nice, the people were really kind to her, and Axel learned quickly that she had to be tough to be respected there, with so many youngsters running wild. She did what she was supposed to do with an iron determination, going to school and getting the best grades she could possibly get. They weren't too high, since she had little patience for such things, but she did her best. When other kids decided to escape the orphanage and go on a trainer journey, Axel decided to stay. She had it just fine, and she had grown attached to the place.

Still, as she approached the age of 18 she would soon have to move out and get a job. Axel was at a loss as to what she might pursue, she really had no idea. But the councilors talked to her about it, and once again the subject of a Pokemon journey came up. And, since Axel had no other alternatives anyway, she decided to go with it.

[Garouga! Bare Your Fangs!]

Okay, minor setback. Seems like my friend, who lives with me/hasn't been home in about a month because of work, came home and isn't really interested in proofreading for me at the moment. I shall have everything up tomorrow. I swear on my love for TheSmartOne.

 

[GrifSpark]

Added the Pokemon I wish to own to my main post, which Include Bellsprout, Zubat, and Slakoth. I still have yet to add the appearance, but I'll get round to it.

 

[Century]

Any chance there is any more openings in this?
if there isn't thats cool but if there is, pm me and i'll have a SU up ASAP.

Century

 

[slls81]

@Grifspark and Doctor Who - Yep those look fine to me, both are accepted

@Garouga - Since you expressed an interest early, I'll open up an 8th spot for you. However all other Sign Up's are closed.

Century

Sorry, but all of the new spots have been taken. I'll be sure to keep you in mind if there are any new openings in the future though.


F.A.O new roleplayers - Right I've been thinking about it, and since we are already 4 badges I think it would be a bit much to ask you all to start from the beginning. Soooo... my idea is to have you not be a Professor Maple trainer. (I know some of you have put in your histories that you are, but that is easily editable right? :P)

Instead you have just come to Hoenn to challenge the league, and only become involved with Maple, Warren etc. due to the fact you run into Warren and Kliff upon their upcoming confrontation with Team Aqua/Magma. (This happens in about two routes time, so it would all tie together quite quickly). This avoids trying to make a tenuous link for all of you back to Maple prior to the event, and I'm thinking after helping Warren/Kliff, Maple will help all of the new trainers and provide them with pokedexes, ferry passes and whatever else I've had her give the trainers along the way xD

So yeah let me know what you think of that idea. If you like it then great, id not I'll try to come up with something else. As always, if you have any questions feel free to ask them in this thread.

Thanks,
Slls

 

[GrifSpark]

I promise I'll get round to the appearance eventually!
And I do have a question actually. What level are each of my other Pokemon? I remember you stating that the starter will be Lv.15, but I don't think that any mention of the other Pokemon has appeared.

 

[TrueMastermind]

are signups still open? And is there a certain list of starters we can use?

 

[slls81]

Sorry buddy, but all the available spots have been taken

 

[Nakuzami]

Well no need to edit my history, as I didn't mention Maple :P
I am gone for the weekend, as I am most weekends, so if we reach the Magma/Aqua point before then, I guess I come in late...

 

[Zeph.]

Nice to see some life breathed into this thing xP

@slls: Pan dosen't seem to have Rapid Spin on page 1 D= *sadness*

 

[killet513]

Do we need to already have Flannery's badge or not. It would be a good intro post for me if not.

Oops my bad, I'll add that now

If you want to write a gym post, then feel free to by all means. If you don't want to write one, then wait a couple of days and the next route will be up and you can start from there... whichever one works best is fine by me :)

So we canz join in with a Gym post against Flannery?

 

[GrifSpark]

I'll have to put off my first post for a while, as my laptop has died. I'm not joking, it's impossible to do anything on it, so the extent of my messages will be done here, on my home computor, which is painfully slow and lacks MicrosoftWord, meaning it'll be hellishly difficult to make a decent post. Hopefully it wil be only a few days before I can get it fixed!

Yes, yes you can.

Sorry to hear about your laptop. Hope to see it back up and running soon :)

 

[GrifSpark]

It's, alive! Well, sort of...

While my laptop is still blargh, my home-computor works well enough. It's a little slow, and I wont be able to post as much as usual, but I can throw out a post here and then, which is better than never! Onto working on my post it seems!

I believe I have already asked this, but what level do your other Pokemon start at? I remember you mentioning your starters are at Lv.15, but nothing has been said about the other Pokemon.
