    Whoever was in the last one, yes I am reviving it after Arceus knows how long. I had really bad timing when I did it the first time. If you were in it last time and want to join up again, you may have to find your SU and repost it.

    Cries from the Other Side [PG-16]

    I write these letters... in hopes that anyone can answer my plea. My world... it is dying. The sky has forgotten sunrise. The inhabitants are falling, falling to this strange song and slipping into the most bloodstained of madness. My world is tearing itself apart. If this goes on... both our worlds will die. I can not stop her any longer. By the time you read this I am certain she will have captured or killed me. The creature who carried this to you is a Pokemon. In that egg with it is also a Pokemon. Please, with these two, please fight to protect our worlds. Please... end my sister's life before the Gods raise her up to immortality.

    Child of Wishes, Aiko


    Plot: Earth and the Pokemon World have coexisted for many many centuries, the Pokemon World unknown to many of Earth's inhabitants. Strange events have been happening recently around the globe however, many to do with weather. People have been killed or injured and the scientists are utterly baffled. As you struggle to make sense of this, something falls from the sky into your arms. It is called a Pokemon and it is carrying a letter and an egg. A Legendary has been chosen to assist you in stopping the destruction of the worlds. You must make your way to the Pokemon World and defeat the person who caused this destruction. Hopefully you will be able to find the writer of this letter, Aiko, as well before it's too late. But you have a limited time. Your enemy is close to complete victory.

    (I will not reveal where you will be in the Pokemon World yet.)

    Anyway, the rules of this:

    1) Abide by PC conduct.
    2) Avoid spamming. (Naturally)
    3) The rating is there for a reason. Please make sure to keep with it.
    4) Godmodding is forbidden.
    5) Any questions and concerns can be PMed to me.
    6) You may have up to two characters. If you have two SUs, you may take longer in bringing them in.
    7) Remain as active as possible and inform me of long breaks. I will attempt the same.
    8) Think of this as a story, so that means good details and realistic speech patterns, accents, stutters, mumbles and such approved of. So keep with good grammar and don't use text speak (unless writing a cell phone conversation). I understand a few mistakes. I make them all the time, but keep it relatively low.
    9) Posts must be a paragraph long at least, which means 3-8 sentences in my book. The only exception is conversation. Though for that I would suggest (you don't have to) talking it over with your other poster beforehand. Saves a bit of time.
    10) Unless you give a good reason to have a longer delay, reserves have three days to turn their profiles in. And any changes can be made after initial complete posting. If you start the SU and post it you have twenty four hours to complete it unless you give a good reason for a longer time.
    11) There are more than ten spots.
    12) I am now allowing Gen V Pokemon as your choices, including the legendaries. That also goes to the movesets.
    13) Have fun everybody! I made this for people to enjoy!

    You have two chances to follow these rules. At the third, I kick you out.

    My SU

    Name: Len Adlar
    Age: 12
    Gender: Male
    Appearance:
    — Skin: Pale, but not sickly pale white.
    — Head: Dark blond hair like a wheat field that curls in all directions, slightly pointed face, dark hazel eyes, small facial features, spatters of freckles on both cheeks
    — Height: 4'5"
    — Weight: 84 lbs
    — Body: He is a scrawny child, his arms are short like his legs. But he has a surprising amount of strength.
    — Upper: He wears a baggy black sweatshirt over a grey shortsleeve. On his head is a dark beanie almost completely covering his ears. His hands are covered with white fingerless mittens.
    — Lower: Len wears jeans that are frayed at the legs and red-decorated sneakers. His socks are pure white.
    History: Len had a very odd childhood in his hometown of Colorado Springs. His father would make him exercise nearly constantly, even while young. He nearly had a little sister, who would have been named Sarah. But she ended up being stillborn and his family became devastated by the result. Even at five, he knew that something had changed. His mother would have smothered him with overprotective behavior if not for his father's iron will. He was a good student except for his lack of social skills and formal speech. He was quickly considered the easy target until he broke one of the bullies' jaw. People avoided him after that, whispering behind his back. The only friends he made were Mic and Allie, two other outcasts. When the world seemed to turn ugly, he sensed it and became very worried and confused.

    Personality: Len is... disconcerting, to say the least. He is not very childlike, despite being as young as he is. He is withdrawn from humans almost completely, speaking monosyllabically when he has to speak at all, eyes focused on some other faraway point. If he speaks a full sentence pay attention, he might know something. He prefers to simply convey his emotions in pure silence. However his quiet intensity does not mean he is completely devoid of affection. He adores others in his own way, be it in simple hand gestures or the way he looks at someone. He has never gotten angry, at least not enough to raise his voice. He simply bottles up everything and shoves it aside. One wonders what will happen when he loses control of his emotions. However his style isn't anything to do with punk, he just enjoys the loose clothes. He can sense change, more sensitive to the world than some and it bothers him intensely, sometimes making him hide.
    Color(s) of Soul: Grey
    Legendary: Mew
    Weapons: Brass knuckles
    Pokemon: Vulpix

    Pokemon

    Nickname: Sarah
    Gender: Female
    Personality: She is friendly and affectionate, constantly sniffing at new things and exploring. She always returns to Len, as if afraid to leave him alone.
    Moves: Extrasensory, Ember, Tail Whip

    Legendary: Mew
    Gender: Female
    Nickname: Mii
    Personality: She is bouncy, hyper, playful, as if to make up for Len's lack of reaction.

He was usally alone, he never got bullied or picked on at shcool he just becmae a loner by choice and everyone respected him for that. Kirah when he turned 14 he started to open his shell, he became more athletic, intellectual and more social towards others making him instantly popular with any crowd. However one week after turning 15 his father was mortally wounded and in a coma who didn't make it through surgery. Kirah started to fall again, he failed his grades and became less popular and reverting back to his normal self again.

    One year after his father's death Kirah visting his father's tombstone saw 2 eggs (One with blue spots) (The other with Red Spots) where the flowers were meant to be and saw a strange creature nursing over them. He touched the 3 items and a flash of white blinded his eyes.....

    Personality: Kirah currently is between his lone wolf self and open self depending what situation it is. Kirah however still treats people with the respect they deserve.
    Color(s) of Soul: Can I have 2 one for each? Red and Blue
    Legendary(ies): Latios and Latias
    Weapons: N/A

    Pokemon: Charmander
    Pokemon Nickname: Pyro
    Gender: Male
    Personality: Pyro is a Charmander who always carries out his duties, he was given the task to look after Pokemon twin's Latios and Latias and to guard them with his life. However Pyro can have a fun side with fights over food and who gets to go first.
    Moves: Flamethrower, Ember, Slash, Dig
    Legendary: Latios and Latias
    Nickname: N/A
    Gender: Latios: Male, Latias: Female
    Personality: Latios is related more of Kirah's lone wolf personality although he only listens to Pyro, although he cares for others close to him such as his twin sister Latias who is more of Kirah's wild open style who may be reckless but can put a good fight.

    RP Sample: Kirah looked down at the words, "Hear lies Judai Fudo, a loving husband and proud father." Kirah feld a teardrop form in his right eye, it had been a year since the passing of his father, the mysterious attack that got him like the other's who had been reported, Kirah looked at his watch and say "5:00" "I better go." He said to his father, he looked up and his eyes widen with shock.
     
    Sweet Dreams, Lugia is reserved for you.

    dajman, you are currently pending. I do request a description, simply to see how good you are at them, also your personality and history need some beefing up. Also, your grammar and spelling are not the best, though that's slightly less of an issue. You have time to edit your SU and yes you can have two soul colors. It's a melded one. Also, your RP sample also needs some editing. It doesn't say much about your writing ability.
     
    I'd like to reserve Victini. I'll put my SU here tomorrow.
     
    I would like to reserve Ho-oh. I'll have my SU up later.
     
    Name: Jenna Stone

    Age: 13

    Gender: Female

    Appearance(picture in signature):
    — Skin: Lighter than most people's skin, but not pale.
    — Head: Short, dirty blonde hair which curves near the end. Her eyes are also a very vivid blue.
    — Height: 5 ft
    — Weight: 83 lbs
    — Body: Jenna is very small. Her arms, although unusually thin, are full of hidden power that has been released few times. She is also very thin, but a great athlete non-the-less.
    — Upper: She wears mainly t-shirts or sweatshirts, and alternates between the two with not much for a wardrobe. However, she is always found wearing a silver chain necklace, symbolizing something to the girl.
    — Lower: Jenna wears jeans or shorts, alternating just like her shirts do.

    History: Jenna grew up with a lovely family. Her parents were relatively more kind and considerate than most people, and gave her more than enough love. At the same time they were protective, which angered Jenna to the extremes. She was unable to go outside, nor play with any of her few friends. During school she would talk with many people, but was often bullied by people due to her odd behavior. However, she soon was known to be very vengeful. The little girl would have "moments" of retaliation, both at school kids and at her parents. As years passed by, Jenna continued to be sickened by her cozy life, knowing many others had it worse. She swore to herself she would prove herself strong. She just had to figure out a way how.

    Personality: Jenna's a rebellious child. Nothing can, or has ever been able to restrain her if she doesn't want them too. She goes by her rules. She is also very selfish and arrogant, thinking more about the safety of herself than others. Even though these traits get in the way of her nature, Jenna is overall a very kind person, treating nearly everyone with respect. She comes off to most as a naive child, however she is very educated, and knows a lot more than people thinks she does. Jenna is also very trustworthy, including wise when it comes to common sense or problems. Still, most of her personality easily flips and changes due to her situation and mood, therefore mostly un-predictable. She is mostly influenced by other people.

    Color(s) of Soul: Light Blue, Black

    Legendary: Lugia

    Weapons: Bow and Arrow


    Pokemon

    Species: Poochyena
    Nickname:
    Allison

    Moves: Tackle, Howl, Thunder Fang

    Legendary: Lugia
    Gender: Male
    Nickname: Spirit
    Personality: He is a more serious, noble being, representing a more patriarch-like figure. However, he is very kind, and lives to make others happy.

    OOC: Would like to reserve Celebi. My SU is mostly ready, except for the RP Sample, which I will likely get in by tomorrow at the latest. (I would finish it now, but I have other stuff to do at the moment.)
    For posting times, I can generally post at least once a day, and will notify you if I cannot.
     
    Name: Cole Marrik

    Age: 14

    Gender: Male

    Appearance:
    Hair Color: A piercing jet black.
    Eye color: Dark Brown
    Skin color: white
    Under-top: a Light blue shirt that features a Polar Bear on it.
    Top: Over the shirt, he wears a red jumper, just a plain red jumper.
    Trousers: Sports trousers, dark blue with white stripes going down the left and right sides
    Shoes: Silver, featuring wavey designs. Tied with laces. Also wears blue socks.
    Size: 5 foot, 40 centimetres.
    History: Involved in a car crash at the age of nine. Cole, his sister and their parents were seriously injured. Cole, his sister and their mother turned out alright in the end, but Cole's father ended up never being able to walk again. Resulting in Cole getting bullied, because his father was a "cripple", for the rest of his Primary years. In secondary school, Cole learned to stand up to his bullies. Aside from the incident, Cole grew a relitively normal life. He had a sister named Charlotte, a spanish mother named Saria and a father named Nate. His sister was two years younger than him but was also, at times, his best friend.
    Cole grew up in a neighbourhood of rather rude people. He heard bad words very often when taking his sister for a stroll across the block. There were few good people in his neighbourhood, although one was a nice old man named Edward. He was over seventy years of age but stil very active, going for a jog every morning, afternoon and evening. And never missing an appointement for gym training on Sundays. Cole and his sister very much enjoyed being around him. Often staying at his house for long periods of time. He was really the only friend that the twosome had in their dreary neighbourhood.
    Personality: Cole is mostly kind, thoughtfull and sympathetic. But he can be very impatient and annoying when he wants to be. He's very protective over the ones he holds dear, he threatens anyone who is bad to them. Especially his sister, who was also bullied for he father being a "cripple". Now, thanks to Cole's protective nature, Charlotte is one of the 7th Grade's most feared pupils. Cole would no doubt ohysically hurt anyone who even layed a finger on his loved ones. Cole makes friends easily, though. He can become anybody's ally if he wanted to. As a result, he is rather respected in his school. Not just for being fearsome, but because he is in many of the most popular kids' favor.
    Color(s) of Soul: Red with a bit of yellow
    Legendary(ies): Darkrai
    Weapons: None
    Pokemon: Shinx

    Pokemon Nickname: Sphinx
    Gender: Male
    Personality: Sphinx is very curious, sniffing at anything he finds. Although stern and serious when he wants to be. He has a craving for food, wanting bowl after bowl of food. But he never eats too much, wich is weird, because he eats so much but he never eats TOO much.....
    Sphinx is a comedic. He's good with impressions and he likes to make people laugh. And he's very good at it. He could make even the most stern of people laugh their weariness away.
    Moves: Tackle, Leer, Night Slash.

    Legendary: Darkrai
    Nickname: Light
    Gender: Male
    Personality: Light is never sure of himself. You would expect a Darkrai to like its abilities. But Light is ashamed of what he can do, and does his best never to do it. He is very sympathetic, maybe a bit TOO sympathetic. He never wants to give bad dreams to a Pokemon, even in a battle. And he does not have much self-confidence. He was named Light to make him feel a little better. As he is a being of the dark and he sees himself as something evil that should not exist.

    RP Sample:
    Cole looked to the left, then to the right. Today was the infamous Track & Field. The day that everyone at school hated more than anything. It was a day full of sports, and there was no way out of it. There were several events that you could take part in, all of wich Cole detested. He looked behind him, his sister wasn't here....funny. Cole shook his head and concentrated. The day before yesterday had been the day in wich pupils had to choose wich events the would participate in. There had to be at least four for each person. This was Cole's second event, the 200 Metres race. He had failed miserably at the High Jump so he wondered what could be in store for him now. The whistle was blown, and the game began. As fast as he could, Cole ran around the race track. 200 Metres was about half of the race track, so it wouldn't be too hard.
    Cole wasn't thinking straight, he though he'd passed a few people behind, but he was still behind himself. He was no master of sports. He looked to his sides, where was his sister, Charlotte in all of this? Cole reganed his senses and ran further. He passed one last person before he struck the finish line. Apparently he had made it sixth. "Few, honestly i thought i woulda done worse." he thought to himself.

    Name: Archibald (Archie) Monroe

    Age: 18

    Gender: Male

    Appearance:
    — Skin: Caucasian, slightly tanned.
    — Head: Mid-length dark brown hair, kept slightly unkempt for the 'handsomely disheveled' look. Usually clean shaven. Face is a bit thin, but not gaunt. Eyes are dark brown. Wears a burgundy baseball cap, and glasses.
    — Height: 6'3'
    — Weight: 160 lbs
    — Body: Medium frame, athletic build. Not overly muscular, but could be described as lean and healthy.
    — Upper: Brown leather jacket with dark red t-shirt underneath. Carries black satchel.
    — Lower: Standard, though worn, light blue jeans. White and black runners.

    History: Born in a smallish city on the prairies, Archie enjoyed a relatively normal life. Though a bit introverted at first, interest in baseball allowed him to grow out of it. When the winter came and going to play ball was not an option, he often spent his spare time reading books, often staying up past his bedtime to read them secretly. Around the age of 10 Archie's eyesight deteriorated from all the reading in poor lighting conditions, and he had to get glasses. It took some getting used to at first, but over time they were like nothing more than an extension of his face. Hitting high school he joined the school baseball team. Archie and his newfound rival, Greg, were the top two players on the team, and it seemed what one couldn't do the other could.
    Over the next few years Archie, at his parent's urging, began taking classes for cooking as well as other practical skills. Most of them were just tedious and boring to him, but he found he enjoyed cooking. On the flipside, he absolutely could not get a driver's license. Despite his usual nonchalant attitude, the kid just couldn't keep his cool behind the wheel. In fact, technology in general wasn't all that appealing to him.

    Personality: As stated above, Archie is generally calm and collected so long as it doesn't involve heavy machinery of any kind. Archie can be a bit of a downer, however, given the other two outstanding aspects of his personality. Firstly, he tends to be a pessimist. Not in the traditional defeatist sense, however, but more in the sense of a pragmatist. Secondly, he is often snarky and sarcastic in his pragmatic assessment of things. If Archie thinks your idea is stupid, he's going to tell you it's stupid. This can make him abrasive and hard to get along with, though he may have the best intentions at heart.

    Color of Soul: Dull Earthen (Mix of Green and Brown, trace of Gray). Could be described as moss colored.

    Legendary: Celebi

    Weapons: Baseball Bat

    Pokemon: Kabuto

    Pokemon Nickname: Brick
    Gender: Male
    Personality: Brick is small, heavy, brown, and not very interesting. Thus why Archie named it Brick.
    Moves: Rapid Spin, Scratch, and Harden

    Legendary: Celebi
    Nickname(s): Fairy Thing; Tinker Bell; various others
    Gender: Female
    Personality: Helpful and friendly most of the time, but capricious, acting on a whim. She's understandably a little indignant about a lot of the nicknames.

    RP Sample:
    It was that time again. Archie wiped the sweat from his brow as he walked out of the building. Not because of the summer heat, though that certainly didn't help. He was sweating because it was time for his driver's test, again, for the thirteenth time. It was a good thing he wasn't superstitious.
    With the afternoon sun beginning to set in the sky, Archie climbed into the car. The instructor walked around to the back, having him check the brake and signal lights. The instructor got in and put his seatbelt on, which reminded Archie to do the same. Sighing in relief at having dodged that bullet, he started to back out of the parking stall, not accidentally driving forward onto the curb this time. Successfully exiting the stall, he shifted into drive. Pressing the gas just a little to hard, the car lurched forward before he could straighten out the steering wheel, hitting the back end of the car parked next to him, to the dismay of both inhabitants of the car. Archie sighed, "I'm just gonna assume that's a failure."

    @Xilfer123: I sorry if you take offense to this, but it would be a little bit better if you double spaced between different things. It was hard for me to tell where your history ended and your personality began. It would just be more legible if you did this. Just trying to help:)
     
    Ouch. I hadn't seen this earlier, so both Victini and Lugia are unavailable, and my legendary from the original RP, Celebi, has also been taken... *Sigh* reserve me for... uh... Articuno... ... ... but if either Victini or Celebi open up, I call one of them (Victini if for some reason both open up) ;P

    Edit: Almost done... most of it is a copy and paste job, so I may edit a bit too.

    Edit2: Well, I finished... but I can't decide on Articuno's nickname... I listed like four names... which do you think I should use? I'm completely stuck.

    Edit3: Decided on Articuno's name ^.^'

    Ah thanks killet, got that before I could get there and Nakuzami I really should have sent the word out. Honestly my bad. But if you remember how it went from last time we should be okay. When you finish you'll be accepted.

    Discordant is accepted.

    Xilfer you will be accepted when you add a bit more detail to history and personality. It gives me the bare bones but not much to go off of.

    Kobora, I know you're not finished yet but please edit your RP Sample because the big wall of text is very confusing.

    OOC thread will be posted tomorrow.
     
    Ah, my apologies, Nakuzami. I had originally been undecided between Celebi and Heatran, so I can switch my choice to Heatran instead if you want Celebi. Simple enough to edit it in.
