Okay, people, that is my first RPG and I tought I might as well make it interesting lol. There's the background of the story:
Extract from newspaper "Pokemon Journal":
.... cannot find cure for the misterious disease. It has affected people on the other side of the ocean as well. The matter is very serious. There are reports that the virus has spread to the continents of Hoenn, Johto, Kanto, and Orre. The deadly disease does not affect pokemon, but is really hazardous for people. The infected are having difficulty breathing. The symptoms are very serious and since no cure has been found yet, some of the infected are already dead. Thousands of relatives are mourning and are making protests in front of the police stations and hospitals. They are not aware of the fact that they should be under quarantine, because they might as well be infected. The government, however, does not take any precautions. The scientists are working hard to find a cure, but one of the most intelligent researchers who was just a step close to revealing the secret (Name: Dr. Stevenson) is now not among us, because he as everybody else who was infected ...
Extract from Dr. Stevenson's notes:
... the mysterious disease is spreading everywhere. The virus is mutating so fast that we cannot monitor it at all. It affects the human's lungs, and spreads all over his/her body through the blood vessels. It also affects the kidneys and that is why the patients are having great pains. We tried to give them some antibiotics and some herbal medicine extracted from the medical herbs of Lavaridge, but it did not help at all. Now the patients are on morphine, and even so, they still feel the pain. When their kidneys stop functioning properly, they cannot get the proper vitamins from the food and the drinks they consume. Their body is dying slowly and painfully from lack of minerals.
I had an idea to search for cure among pokemon. They might be the only creatures, which could help humanity survive. The legendary pokemon, for which I've read only in fairy tales, are said to have mystical powers that could cure any disease. The one, which could help a lot would be the mysterious Suicune. It could provide an answer with its ability to purify water. That is why I left searching for it and managed to find a sample of that purified water. I tried it on a patient and it worked. Unfortunately I feel the symptoms of the ilness myself. I am afraid I won't live long enough to find the cure. We would need a miracle. If we could travel back in time it would be somehow possible to get rid of the virus, but nothing is sure in this difficult situation ....
That's where you come in. You are a pokemon trainer, whose family is infected with the virus. One member (of your choice) is already dead. On the day of their death, you swear to find a cure for the disease, and to help the other members of your family. You don't know yet, but you are infected as well. (You may choose not to be, but sooner or later, you will meet other people who are, and then become infected no matter you want it or not). You set on a journey to find Suicune, and/or a legendary, who could help you fight the disease. Mentioning that, I hope everybody got the end of the extract of Dr. Stevenson's notes... Time traveller ... Does it ring a bell?
The criteria I'm looking for: We would try to make this RPG smooth and exciting at the same time. I am looking for people who are interested in the plot of the story. They also need to be able to write descriptively and in a lot of detail. I'm sure that in the end it would be better than most fanfics. Whoever is in the RPG, try to develop your character, and think a lot about the fact that you've lost someone very special to you. You can even loose your best friend, if that's what would make you develop your character better. Try to make your character dimensional, by adding emotions, and inner dilemmas. Just stating the actions does not make the RPG look good. That would make the plot more individual, more personal, and in the same time more interesting. I reserve my right to ban anyone from the RP whom I don't find suitable for the purpose.
There's the form you need to fill in:
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Lost which member of the family?:
Infected/Healthy:
Pokemon: up to 6, no legendaries
Background:
Appearance:
Personality:
Items, which you find indispensable for the quest:
Name: George
Age: 17
Gender: male
Lost which member of the family: his little brother
Infected/Healthy: Infected
Pokemon: Salamence, Tyranitar, Gyarados, Metagross, Gengar, Snorlax
Background: George does not come from a wealthy family. He set on his Pokemon quest when he was 11. One might say that it's too late to start a pokemon journey, but George thought that he needed experience in one particular sphere - relationship with Pokemon. He took his time to study and try to understand pokemon, because he knew that once there was a link between two creatures, nothing could stand in their way. He was very happy when his mother gave birth to his younger brother - Ned. Although he sometimes felt jealous for his mother paying more attention to the youngster, George secretly was happy for having a brother. He knew that one day his little bro would be the one who he could trust most. George became an excellent pokemon trainer, mastering the evolution techniques, and the raising of the pokemon. He also had some skills in breeding, which added a lot of strength to his team of 6 pokemon.
When the disease started spreading all over the world, he had beaten all the elites amongst the pokemon trainers, and was resting at home, preparing for another journey. Watching as everyone around him started feeling worse and worse, he tried to help them in any way he could. It did not work. Watching as his younger brother was dying in his hands one night, George swore that he would find a cure even if the price had to be his own life.
Appearance: George is slim, not very tall. He is a good athlete, although he doesn't practice sports anymore. He wears strange coloured clothes, which always seem to be blending with the surroundings. He has dark blond hair, and blue eyes. His eyes are rather strange because his iris is coloured dark blue, but around it there is a star shaped figure filled with lighter colour.
Personality : After the loss of his brother, who also was his best friend, George kept distance from the other people. Unable to recover from the wound in his soul, he sometimes sobbes at night, when there's nobody around to hear him. He is now lonely, but does not regret that. On the other hand he used to be cheerful and happy. He treated Pokemon as his equals, and one could say that he cared for them more than for his dearest people (except for his brother). Deep in himself he still has hope for recovering from the trauma, and starting a new life afterwards, but that lies too far ahead in time for him to think about. He is able to focus really well, and fights until he either wins or loses.
Items which you find indispensable for the quest: Full restores, mystic water, bicycle, TM/HM case, Full heal, Max revive.
We'll start with the RPG as soon as there are four more people.
