Name: Flash
Species: MUDKIP!!!!!!!!!!
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Personality: Rash nature
Traits:
Positive: Good at making cakes, good at hitting lamps
Negative: Eats a lot of cakes, can be kinda stupid sometimes
RP Example (REVISED)
Flash was just enjoying a normal day at the cake shop, baking some cakes, selling them, looking at Mischief funny, the usual. Suddenly, he saw a strange lamp out of the corner of his eye. He asked someone else to cover for a second.
Flash walked over to the lamp. He stared at it. It stared back (somehow).
Flash used Tackle on Lamp! It's not very effective...
Sad by the fact that Tackling the lamp didn't do anything or accomplish any goals, he skulked back to the oven and made sure the cake didn't burn.
Flash sees a cake shop and walks up to it, intrigued.
After buying a cake, he asks if he can have an application to work.
"I'm good at baking, but I may eat a lot of cakes, and if this Abnormal Cake Shop is anything like the last one I heard of, I'm not that great at fighting, but can I join anyway?" Flash says.
He looks at the person with a tilted head and genuine Mudkip cuteness.
Name: Nano Species: Rotom Gender: Male Age: Not alive in the traditional sense, I guess?
Moves: Discharge, Trick, Astonish, Thunder Wave, Confuse Ray. When possessing appliances, he can use moves of that nature, e.g. Overheat if he's inside the bakery's oven. Ability: Levitate Mechanics: As a Rotom, Nano thrives on sources of electricity, but his body is too fragile to feed off of lightning. The best way to get energy is to use the Rotom's unusual ability of merging with a machine, anything that uses electricity to power itself. Usually called "possession," the Rotom can then both thrive off of the electricity running through the machine and stimulate the machine with its own electric energy. Rotom-possessed machines can outperform traditional machines in unusual ways, varying from the novel to the dangerous.
Personality: Nano is a boy who rushes through most of what he does. He takes pride in his skill in electronics proficiency, and does everything quickly to prove a point: he's worth keeping around because he can make machines work way faster, way cooler than they usually do. Acting with such haste can lead to a mess to clean up afterward, and a rather... eccentric final product.
Like all Rotoms, he makes a habit of hanging out in places where he's always near electric appliances so that he can possess them to increase his abilities and to recharge his energy. And that includes workplaces.
He has an eccentric sense of humour and accomplishment, ranging from flippant to playing pranks. It's easy for him to forget to be tactful, but don't be misled: he does care about making people happy, absolutely.
Traits: Energetic. Talented with electronics. Eager to please. Tactless. Prankster. Hasty. Messy.
Roleplay Sample:
Spoiler:
"Nano!!" a Hypno bellows into the other room. He looks to be nearing middle age, and currently stressed out enough to sound irritable.
The receiver of a telephone floats swiftly in from the other room, its spiraling cord dragging the box of the machine along with it. Clank-clank-clunk."Sup boss!" the floating telephone replies.
"Get out of that phone and listen up!" the Hypno exclaims, already ticked off but trying to reign in his mental state along with his tone of voice. "Carefully, this time. Mrs. de Leon has a kitten missing and it's your job to print up missing posters. I want each one to have this photo of the kid --" the Hypno hands a photograph to the Rotom -- "along with the kid's name Kit, the mom's name Mrs. de Leon, and her name and number and address she wrote down here." Another slip of paper is handed over. "And mention that she's giving a reward to whoever finds the kid, so people actually read the thing. 250 plus some home cookin'. You got all that? 20 posters."
The telephone's receiver drops right to the floor as Nano de-possesses it, leaving the base-form Rotom floating in the air in its place. He squints at the photo of the kitten before grabbing it up in lightning-bolt shaped tendril of plasma, delivering a weird dull zap to his boss's fingers in the process. The Rotom looks back up at him. "Why the polaroid? Doesn't she take digital photos? C'mon, lady."
"Just put it on the poster, Nano. Were you listening? I don't wanna go through that Spheal again."
"Yeah yeah! 20 wanted posters! Piece ofcake!" Nano assures his boss, turning and zipping into the room he came from.
"MISSING posters!!" Hypno calls out after him, urgently.
The office Nano retreats to is a little less technologically equipped than Nano would like, but whenever he's in the machines they can always outperform normal ones anyway, so it's fine. Man, he wonders what the place did before he worked here! Must've been in shambles.
The Rotom dives straight into the desktop computer and starts controlling it from the inside. Before that old Hypno would even be able to grab the mouse, Nano's already got a new text editing document pulled up. "Let's see... MISSING! LONELY LOST KITTEN, PROTECT AT ALL COSTS! Precious cinnamon roll." he narrates, typing up the header from inside without need for the keyboard.
"Then we put the photo in..." Nano shifts from smile to frown, which takes the form of a digital cartoon frowny face on the computer monitor. "But it's like, not a digital photo. I guess I'll just draw the kid myself. I got a reference right here so whatever!" Quickly switching to an art program, he draws a Litleo as quickly as he can based on the photo provided. Needless to say, it is barely recognizable. "Who's that Pokémon!" Nano jokes to himself as he slaps his creation onto the page.
He goes back to writing. "Call up Missus De Lion when you find him. BIG REWARD! 250 big ones and a home cooked meal from the lion herself!" Mashing the Print command, Nano jumps in a flash from the desktop to the printer beside it, lashing the printer's cord out like a whip and plugging it right into the computer. Putting the squeeze on the poor machine, Nano revs it up until it's spitting out all 20 pages in rapid succession, flinging them onto the floor in a mess. With that, he pops right out of the printer and swoops over the floor to collect the papers in his plasma. Zipping over to the next room, he dumps the papers in his boss's lap ceremoniously. "20 posters, record time!"
Nano finds himself looking for a new job the next day.
Preferably something with even more electric appliances.
Hm, should I be treating this as a cold call, or as if Nano's already been asked to come in for the first day of work today? Little unclear on the setup in your RP.
Thanks :3
Here's my SU, took me awhile to choose a pokemon.

Name: Mia
Species: Espurr
Ability: Keen Eye
Moves: Scratch - Disarming Voice - Psybeam - Psychic
Gender: Female
Age: 9
Personality: Mia tends to stay quiet most of the time, only speaking when necessary, thanks to her shyness. She loves to help others alot, leading sometimes to overworking herself. Her shyness contradicts that, so she helps in the shadows. Soft spots are cute stuff and sweets.
Traits: Bashful, Emotional, Helpful, Caring
Roleplay Sample: Mia walks up to the cake shop, stopping in front of one of the wide windows. The entrance door opens and a customer leaves, satisfied. "Um...e-excuse me..." Sadly, the customer didn't hear her quiet voice and left across the street.
Mia stood there, not knowing what to do. She turned to the shop and noticed the 'Help Wanted' sign. She glanced inside then to the sheet before slowly approaching the door. "Should I....?" Mia took a deep breath and clutched her pendant before opening the door. 'I...want to....'
