[§acred†Beo!]

Name: Lilith (Lily) Blaze
Age: 15
Gender: Female.
Legendary: Darkrai
Appearance: The first thing someone would notice about Lily is her eyes. They are a light blue and very pretty. She is around 5'8 and has a very slim body, but with a bit of an athletic type. Her skin is a light tan, as for her hair it is a lightish brown and is usually pulled back in a ponytail, when it is down it is a little longer then shoulder length. She usually has her nails painted a bright pink as to stand out a bit more.

As for her usual attire she can usually be seen wearing a bright blue tank top and tight jeans. She usually wears tennis shoes but sometimes would have a pair of flip flops on. She also wears a blue head band to keep her hair out of her eyes and she likes to think it brings out her eyes. Both her eyes are pierced with one small diamond earing in each.

Personality: Lily tends to be very caring and kind towards everyone, but at the same time she can have a tough and competitive mentality. She doesn't like to be picked on or see other people who are defenseless be picked on. The caring and tough personality seem to help her in tough times. It is also very helpful when she sees somebody else in trouble. Lily would never look away from someone who was in danger no matter how dangerous the situation she would risk her own life to save someone else... and at times that scares her.

She can tend to be a bit of a girly girl at times, and this may be at fault of her parents for pampering her. She really enjoys doing girly stuff, but at the same time if it's really needed she can turn into a tomboy just like that.

History: History:

Lily was raised in Jubilife with her parents. Her life was never really that tough during Gales reign her father had inherited money from his father and they basically had no worries. Lily's mother wanted her daughter to grow up pampered and beautiful and not have to worry about the troubles in the world. But Lily's deep compassion for other people made her try to learn more about what was going on around the world.

On Lily's thirteenth birthday she was at home waiting for her parents to come home from work and celebrate her birthday with her, but unfortunately they never came home, as they were in a car crash on there way home. This really hurt Lily who had always been a caring child, it also created some what of an angry side to her. At times she would become so angry it was almost as if it wasn't the same girl. Finally on Lily's fifteenth birthday she decided to give up her family fortune to a bunch of different charities and become a pokemon trainer in the new Belkan Region.
Starter choice: Chikorita and Pachirisu
Extra:
Zypher was finally starting to feel a little better as he moved an empty bottle of water away from his lips as he just chugged the full thing.

"Well now, that was just horrible" Zypher said as he looked down at his clothes to see the blood stained color, but suddenly a smile came back to his face as he realized he just captured his first pokemon that would help in his journey to save the world. He grabbed Pichu's tamer ball from his belt clip and tossed it out.

"Pi.. Pi?" the little yellow pokemon said a bit confused as Zypher notice all the hatred in it's eyes he noticed just a while ago was gone.

"Hey little guy, my names Zypher and i'm your new friend" Zypher said knowing well enough to stir away from the word trainer. "Hmm you need a name, how about Chance?" he asked as the pichu began to smile and then jumped up and down.

"Pi! Chu" Chance said happily in agreement as Zypher then walked over picking him up and setting him on his shoulder.

"You can sit on my shoulder Chance" Zypher said smiling to Chance he began to remeber the good times he spent with his old Raichu, in some way this Pichu made him feel like he was back in Kanto... He knew he wasn't though, he knew things would never be back to the way they were but he could hope, and within hope theres light that shines down on the worse things in the world. He then pulled his GPS from his pocket.

"Now where should we head to next?" he began wondering as he realized that there were two different routes that would lead them towards Cherry Grove City. "Well Chance it seems there is a short cut up through Mt.Silver on Route 46, what do you think wanna take the shortcut?" Zypher asked is Pichu pointed at Route 46 on his map and started nodding in agreement.

"Pichu, pi.. pi!" Chance said.

"Alright then Route 46 it is then!" Zypher said as the two of them headed towards Mt. Silver and route 46. As the two of them approached it Zypher began wondering if they chose the right path as in front of them looked like a monstrous death trap. There were pitfalls, and sharp deadly rocks, your basic hard to travel path. Still it didn't seem to bother Zypher who just put a smile on his face.

"Well Chance are you ready to change things here?" Zypher asked eager to get moving.

"Pichu!" Chance cheered as the two continued on Route 46!

 

[Legendarian Mistress]

This is more a general notice, but I never really specified a type for Zenith City, so I decided earlier today that it could be a Dark type Gym. Strikit, you're in.

[Strikit]

[ナギ]

Name: Hana Kurock
Gender: Female.
Age: 14
Legendary: Kyogre
Appearance:
Anyone even taking a single glance at Hana would notice her. It's really not like she's trying hard though.
The foremost reason for this would be her long, raven black hair. She usually wears it into two pigtails, yet even then it reaches to her lower back. As for the rest of her face, it's quite plain, though she has a bit of a snub nose. Her eyes are somewhat large compared to the rest, and coloured a vivid blue.

Hana's physique isn't all that notable either. Standing at around 5'1'', she is quite short for a 14-year-old, often causing people to think she's much younger. Apart from that, she has a quite slim build, yet not too much of 'female traits' yet.
Her Sa'je usually isn't that clearly visible, as it would usually be covered by clothes. The so-called 'birthmark' she got looks most like a bruise, as it seems her skin became somewhat blue-coloured. The mark isn't too big, sitting on her left shoulder. However, if you look closely, the blue colour seems to shift intensity. Like the colour is literally 'flowing' through the mark.

Finally, her usual garb consists of a blue tank top with a black vest over it. The vest has some white lines and other details made into it, while the tank top is just plain blue.
Other than that, Hana would just wear some dark greyish shorts with a white belt. For shoes, she usually puts on her favourite grey sneakers.

Personality:
Although she looks short (and maybe even cute to some), Hana doesn't like that kind of image. She can be a huge tomboy if she wants to, and would often act somewhat rude to people she meets for the first time. Even if they try to compliment her, she won't budge easily. Much more when they call her anything even remotely like a 'cute little girl' … You have been warned.
It's not like she always means to be rude though. If she really says something bad to someone and they'd get upset, Hana would feel bad about it right away. Sadly, she isn't too good at making someone feel better or even apologizing.. Instead, she would just fall silent, or even run away in a worst-case scenario.

However, to her close friends, Hana can be more of an outgoing person. She'd still be there with her occasional rude remarks, but if it's her friends, they'll know she doesn't mean a thing of it.
Deep within, if you manage to peel open all of her rough shells, you'll find the delicate Hana inside. Honestly, she likes being complimented like all other girls would.. she just doesn't know how to react on it too well. That's all.

History:
Hana originally came from a little town in Hoenn, called Sootopolis City. In the middle of a water-filled volcano, Sootopolis is quite detached from the outside world. Because of this, Hana hasn't seen much else from the world than her own little town.. But that's about to change, now she set out for a journey to the new world of Beklan.
Apart from all this, Hana's life hasn't been too much of an amazing one. She has two live parent s (wow!), though she didn't see them as much as she had wanted to; both of them have quite busy jobs. The father's the captain on the one submarine that grants entrance and exit to Sootopolis City, meaning he'd be quite busy throughout the day. Her mom, too, works hard: she's the only doctor in town, meaning she has to get around everywhere to help out people – mostly elderly, lately.. – in the entire town.
Unfortunately, because the two have such busy jobs, they'd come home all stressed out.. often turning the evening into a time of rows and arguments. This is one of the reasons Hana became fairly rude in dealing with anyone else, too. What to expect, when the two people you pick your lifestyle up from are also the ones who seemingly can't get along well? Even though all would be well over in the morning..

Pokémon:
Squirtle, lv. 8
Nickname: Kame
Moveset: Tackle, Tail Whip, Water Gun

Vulpix, lv. 9
Nickname: Horo
Moveset: Ember, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Confuse Ray




I'm quite sorry, I think I went a little overboard with this.. It'll be my first time RP'ing, so I haven't got any sample. If you really insist on one, I can always write one on the spot...

 

[Legendarian Mistress]

hiinotama: You're in. Since it's your first time, I'll let you off the hook for the sample.

Strikit: Don't fret. You're in, so don't worry.

 

[assasinn]

It seems as though people aren't signing up as Gym Leaders very often, if it goes on like this tomorrow, may I make an NP gym leader?

 

[Legendarian Mistress]

Which are you wanting, assasinn?

 

[Strikit]

Trainer Name: Esthin Roschel

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Appearance: Aesthetic appearance is not of integral importance to Esthin. He spends most of his time indoors training with his Pokemon, rarely seeing sunlight. As a result his skin is pale, almost completely white, and he is thin. His facial features are pointed and sharp. Icily cold blue eyes peer disdainfully through wild tendrils of black hair of a medium length. He is tall, standing at six feet and an inch. Altogether, his facial features, unhealthily pallid complexion and thin body, and cold, demented eyes give the impression of corruption, perhaps even insanity.

Usually Esthin wears a black button down shirt under a black, nearly floor length cloak, baggy black cargo pants held up by a black belt with a silver buckle, and heavy boots. On the inside of his cloak are six pockets sewn in, one for each of his Pokemon. Of course, their balls are most often empty; Esthin trains as many of his Pokemon as he can at once for as long as he and they can manage.

Region You Hail From: Johto

History: Esthin was the second child of Artur and Delilah Roschel. He was born a year after his older brother Korbin, two years before his sister Fyora, and three years before the youngest brother, Darin. From the start he looked up to his father and wanted to become a successful trainer like he had once been. For the first eight years of his life, Esthin and his family lived in Violet City. Life there was unremarkable, with his mother working at the Pokemart, and his father an adviser for the gym leader Falkner. Being an ex-trainer himself, he gave the young leader tips on how to improve his strategy and which additions to his team he ought to make. After stepping in for Falkner on a day when he was sick, he remembered his passion for Pokemon, and decided to move to Blackthorn City and begin training under Clair. Esthin and his siblings all disliked the small town, but they tried to stomach it for their father, as they had never seen him so happy. Their mother opened her own shop where she sold remedies for the many problems that afflict humans and their Pokemon at as low a cost as she could; there was great money in working with Clair, so the family was in no danger of going under.

When he was ten, a trainer stopped at his mother's shop with a clutch of four eggs that one of his Pokemon, he did not say what species, had laid. He seemed reluctant to part with them, but said that there had been too many times on the Ice Path when he had been afraid he would drop them, resulting in them breaking, extinguishing the lives of the developing embryos. If that was any indication of how the trip down the mountain would be, he did not want to risk it. Sympathetic to the young man, Esthin's mother awarded he and his three siblings each with one of the eggs with instructions to be as careful with them as they would if it was their own child. Never being much the nurturing type, he didn't religiously look after the egg, though he did take care of it reasonably well. It hatched in the middle of the night when he was twelve. He went to bed with the egg under the covers next to him, and awoke with a baby Sneasel curled up next to him, egg shell scattered around it. Esthin was pleased with his Pokemon's species; he had always loved the Dark type, and adored the Ice type for being able to take down a Dragon. After he realized it was a male he named him Hades, in reference to his type. As soon as Hades was old enough, and his parents deemed him old enough to leave, Esthin began traversing Johto in search of Dark Pokemon to train. His goal was to get a Gym Leader's License from whatever League would take him and to start the first Dark gym in history. That the type had not had a gym dedicated to it was shocking to him, and he desired to remedy it.

In Johto he bonded with Hades even more as he travelled wherever Dark types could be found. He captured a Murkrow, Houndour, and Absol easily using only the Dark types in his party. It became a promise to himself that he would never use anything but the type he loved so much, and he adhered strictly to it, even when he faced difficulty. His family respected his choices so much that when he returned home for his sixteenth birthday they presented him with an Umbreon to add to his team. By this time he was training Hades the Sneasel, Mafia the Honchkrow, Cerberus the Houndoom (Latin pronunciation -- Kehr-bur-us), Damian the Absol, and Nocturne the Umbreon.

By this time, working with Dark Pokemon had already begun to corrupt him. He had lost weight and his temper had sharpened. But that did not stop him from continuing. When he heard of the Beklan region on his travels he took a ship there in order to find out what prospects awaited. When he docked almost immediately he found a feral Mightyena in the alleyway behind the hotel he was staying in while he rested. He captured the beast and named him Kain, hoping he would become a successful member of his team. His hopes came to fruition, as Kain proved to be a valuable asset. It took some training for Kain not to be a wild, disobedient monster. But the effort was well worth it. The result was such that when Esthin appeared before the Beklan League directors, he was granted a Gym Leader's License with commendations for his obedient and powerful team. Immediately he began work in Zenith City on his gym. After he established himself the trainers began to flood in, in search of a badge. This meant Esthin had to train ever harder, to avoid giving away more badges than were truly deserved. In present day, Esthin is consumed by his work, questing always to become stronger.

Personality: Esthin is as dark as the creatures he trains. Before he truly began training Pokemon, even up until he got his Gym Leaders' License, Esthin was generous, kind, and fairly harmless, if a bit arrogant. He was very close to his family and aspired even then to be the first Dark gym leader. His intentions were pure, and motivated by his bond with Hades. But after he got his License he began to change. Esthin spent more and more time with his Dark Pokemon, and it seemed that the more time he spent with them the more his personality distorted. In present day he is aggressive, tenacious, ruthless, sadistic, and even a bit masochistic. He lives for every challenge and every match. Despite his lack of compassion for humanity, however, Esthin has retained a certain affection for his team and refuses to overwork and overexert them. Most acutely he is bonded with Hades; his Sneasel is almost always out of his ball and at his master's side.

Your Gym of Choice: Zenith City, Dark Pokemon
Zenith City is elegant, with a high standard of living. The architecture is dark and gothic, but not overwhelmingly so. In the very heart of the fairly large city is the Void Gym, commandeered by Esthin. The gym itself is fairly large and two stories tall. When Esthin is waiting for challengers, he stands on a pedestal on the first floor at the very back of the building. There are flights of stairs on either side of the door leading up to the second floor. It isn't completely solid; it is comprised of winding pathways, all coming up to a platform in the middle. This floor is mainly used for training, and less for challenging. Most often Esthin can be found here training his team. The interior of the Void Gym is dark and in places, filled with purplish smoke to hinder vision.

Sample post: From his position concealed in the thick, smoky darkness he saw a rectangle of light appear, then vanish as soon as it had come. A challenger had arrived. A smirk curved his lips as he watched the girl first be confronted by one of his members, then a second. When she defeated that one as well a dark shape stirred by his feet. A cold aura emanated from it, heightening the frightening appearance that came from its twisted silhouette.

"Calm," the man commanded. It fell silent instantly, its blood red eyes trained on the young woman.

It did not take her long to get through to them, suggesting she had at least one team member that could withstand Dark offenses. That was alright. It would not make any difference in the outcome. As she neared his pedestal her footsteps slowed and her confidence melted visibly, leaving a shivering child in her place.

"State your business," he said coldly. She shuddered at the sound of his voice. It was like a serpent slithering over ice.

"I-I… I'm here for the b-badge," she stammered.

"Then let us begin. There are no rules in this gym. Either you succeed, or you do not. It is up to you."

When he emerged from the darkness he heard her stifle a gasp. His frigid blue eyes, focused intensely on her, glowed eerily. Black hair fell like a pagan wreath around his head. His unnaturally pale features twisted into a sadistic grin, giving the impression that he was on the ledge of insanity. The rest of his body was obscured by a floor length cloak, blacker than the darkest moonless night. His boots thudded dully as he led her to the center of the gym floor. Unbidden, the trainers moved out of the way and watched silently from the shadows, their eyes glowing like hungry dogs.

The twisted shape had followed him down. It positioned itself in front of him and waited. The girl realized after several moments of silence that she would not be told what to do here. Her hands shook uncontrollably as she retrieved a ball from her belt and threw it. A Forretress landed where it fell, towering over the far smaller dark shape. However, despite the species' generally blank expression, its anxiety was evident in the way its eyes darted back and forth. He chuckled cruelly.

"Go."

The little shadow lunged forward with a bloodcurdling screech, sealing the fate of its opponent.

 

[Legendarian Mistress]

That was superb, Strikit. You amaze me.

 

[assasinn]

NP for Learth, or the Rock place, but an electric trainer.

 

[Strikit]

Aww, thank you. I've always wanted to play Esthin, and I was hoping his SU would be satisfactory.

 

[Legendarian Mistress]

assasinn, Laerth is a Ground type Gym... did you still want it?

That's okay, Strikit.

 

[assasinn]

Alright, I'll take it. Here's the SU I've worked on:
Name: Terry Freedman
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Region you Hail from: Kanto
Appearance: Terry is a hardy mountain man. He has sort of a butt-chin, but doesn't let that bother him, and people don't seem to notice it. His chiseled features make him excellent at climbing anything, no matter how steep. He has a buzz cut, with a Hindu sun sign at the side. The green on his eyes make him look demonic, but at the same time, curious. He wears a white T-Shirt held up by suspenders, which don't suit him at all.
History: There is not much which is known about him. Some say that he is actually a golem, forged in the volcano of Cinnabar. Others say he was left for dead as a baby, and was taken in by Sandslash as a child. There are no records of his parents, or any family members at all. All that is known is that he is Terry, the gym leader of Learth City, from the Island of Cinnabar.
When Terry was ten, he met a trainer, who showed him a Pokemon. The trainer took him to Vermillion city, and helped him register for the Pokemon League. He then gave Terry his first Pokemon, a Cubone, he named Chet. The Pokemon League was easy for him, although he came across a strong water-type trainer. He managed to make it to third place, but failed in being first.
After three years of intense training, he travelled to the Beklan region to become a gym leader. He chose Learth City, because it reminds him of his journey.
Personality: Although a little narcissistic, he will take on anyone, disregarding appearance. Terry is also illiterate having a hard time speaking with others.
Pokemon:
Marowak
Sandslash
Steelix
Rhyperior
Flygon
Gym of Choice: Learth City
The city is nested in a caldera. The city is famous for "Steamer" a smoke vent at the center of the city, next to the gym west side. On the East is a Pokemon Center, and a Poke Mart. Many non-descript buildings are built around the vent.
RP sample:
"We battle?" Terry said. The other trainer replied studdering "O-kay?" Terry sends out a Sandslash. The other trainer sends out the best Pokemon ever; a mudkip(z). Terry appears to communicate with Sandslash by clicking his tongue. Sandslash used rapid spin. Mudkip used bide, not moving taking his time. Sandslash uses shadow claw, but mudkip stands there, still using bide. Mudkip then releases energy, and knocks Sandslash to the wall. Sandslash makes a quick recovery and uses super fang. Mudkip now as a gash on its tail fin. Sandslash uses rapid spin again, taking out Mudkip. "Okay, you lose" Terry announced. "But-" Terry interrupts and says "No" five times. He then holds out the Silt Badge in front of the trainer, and laughs in his face.

 

[Legendarian Mistress]

That's a good Leader SU, assasinn. Terry's in.

 

[KillehKiwi]

Could I reserve the Turehu City Pyschic Gym, please? I'll probably have my SU up tomorrow or the next dayy. Thanksss. ;D

 

[Legendarian Mistress]

Sorry, Killeh. I've already posted a NP SU for the Turehu Leader. If you want, you can try for the last City - Shedu, the City of Stones. Also, the Leader of Shedu has stone-evolved Pokemon, if you wanted an extra hint.

 

[Strikit]

Yay Jess! I hope you get in.
