Journey to the Past (PG)

[pokemongarnet]

Plot: It's been all over the recent news. The legendary Pokémon of the Sinnoh region have been captured! This time it wasn't the meddling of Team Galactic, it was there predecessor Team Rocket. After Cyrus's failed attempts at capturing the legendary trio failed, the underground organization of Team Rocket, whose ex- executives had been scheming this plan since their downfall some years ago, traveled to Mt. Coronet. They used Silph Co.'s recently duplicated Masterball, to catch the two of them.

They knew that the power of just two legendary Pokémon couldn't dominate the world, so they took a much smarter approach to world domination. They harnessed the time travelling powers of Dialga, and the spatial powers of Palkia so they could travel back in time, to any place they wanted. The purpose for that would be to go back to the ancient world and catch all the legendary Pokémon before their powers were fully developed. The current rocket base location is known but no one will step up to the challenge and stop Team Rocket.

Where you come in: Not manypeople will stand up and fight Team Rocket, they remember the devastation they had brought upon the Kanto Region. You however are one of the fearless few who will rise to the challenge. To go back in time and stop Team Rocket.

You respond to a call flyer posted all over the world as a distress call. You will now be heading to Vermillion city for a mission briefing.

Character Name: Mina Posu

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Appearance: Mina is slender and around 5 feet and 4 inches. She has chocolate brown hair in two high ponytails, reaching to her waist; when her hair is down it reaches to her thighs. Mina's eye color is a honey brown color. She is around 115 lbs. and has a light Hawaiian tan skin tone.

Mina wears baggy dark blue jeans, a pastel purple T-shirt with a silver design of a moonflower and a white undershirt. She has white tennis shoes, a black hip bag on both sides of her waist, and multi-colored bracelets around her wrists.

Personality: Mina is a free spirit when she is alone. However with family and friends she is polite and friendly; strangers are greeted with a wary but happy front. Although she is a kind and gentle-hearted girl she has no hesitation when her Pokemon and friends are in trouble to jump into action, violently of nesscary.

Mina has an extreme hate for being caged, look at history for more details. She prefers being out in the open air and where she can see the sky. Too long in one place, depending on the size of said place, can make her snappy and agitated. She is a true music lover and enjoys laying down in the afternoon and listening to the radio for an hour. Wind is another love of Mina's; she likes the feel of a breeze, gust, or whisper of wind.

History: Mina was born in the Honenn region in the town of LittleRoot (Did you want me to make up a different town or still go with the canon towns?) Mina's parents kept her locked up in the house, only leaving her with books and other things to keep her occupied. Mina learned about the world but never lived in it.

She lived this way until age 15 1/2, circumstances of hospitalization of her parents brought her to a one-person apartment. The sudden bout of freedom given to her scared her. She kept enclosed in the apartment for a half-a-year until finally realizing she couldn't wait around any longer and stepped out into the world. After receiving her first Pokemon, she knew she wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer.

[Hansa]

Character Name: Blaise "Bleach" Brewdale
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Appearance:
Blaise Brewdale is about 160 cm tall, being a little smaller than average. He is very slender and is also has a small problem with his back, making him bend it a little more forward than usual. This causes people to think he has some sort of 'attitude'. In reality, he has cartilage between some of his vertebrals, which cause this problem. Also, he is albino, which gives him a problem with sun. This is also what gives him his nickname; Bleach.
Since Blaise is albino, his skin is completely pale with no pigmentation what so ever. His eyes are red, since they have no pigments, the same feature as his white hair has. His hair is cut in a bowl-cut, but is pretty ragged due to low hair-quality. (No, he is not losing his hair!) His face is pretty round, but a little taller than broad. His chin is sharp, just as his straight nose. Over all, he looks pretty colorless and depressing.

Even though his lack of physical color, he choses sweaters with grey tones, often hoodless and not baggy. His trousers are never any other color than black or blue, and if blue, they are always denim. He always wears a scarf, which has great emotional value for him. This scarf is red and blue, striped.

Personality:
Because of his lost appearance and semi-crippled stance, Bleach has always had problems with getting friends... regular ones at least. Still, he managed to get a decent amount of them, who were mostly physically sick, in some way. His friends made Blaise develop a great sense of empathy and understand. Still, he is very afraid of talking to strangers and is generally asocial.

Because of one of the happenings in his history, which will be apparent when read, made him swear to be a great trainer that would do something great. Therefore, he is very committed to Pokémon, and all that falls into that genre.

History:
Blaise was born and raised in the lively Pewter city, which was somewhat isolated from big cities. He went to an ordinary schools, and quickly befriended another semi-crippled boy, Daniel, who had been born with cancer in his brain. The surgeons managed to get it out, and Daniel had a scar ever since, splitting his head vertically, but mostly covered in hair. Because of this scar, which also showed on his forehead, he was also isolated by the other children. Daniel had a great love for pokemon all his life, which was cut short. The doctors didn't manage to kill his cancer completely, and Daniel died 13 years old, without ever starting a pokemon journey.

After this incident, Blaise decided to start a journey, despite lack of interest, in Daniel's honor. His parents were delighted to hear that he was leaving on a journey, hoping he would open up and blossom as a person. They bought him an exotic pokemon from the neighbouring Region, Johto, which Blaise nicknamed the same as he used to nickname Daniel; Craniel.
He chose to travel to Johto instead of leading his journey in Kanto, and made it all the way to Goldenrod City, where he found the news add of the Rocket doings, and swore to help...

RP Sample

Spoiler:

Blaise walked outside the gym of Goldenrod City. His newly gained badge had been pinned to a cork plate, which was attached inside a copper box, with the same size and form as a big wallet. On the inside of the lid on the box, a picture of a tanned boy with chestnut hair, smiling greatly. A scar was peering out of the hair, stopping between his eyebrows. A drop of liquid suddenly dropped on the laminated picture, which seemed to be a tear from Blaise's eye. HE shut the ornamented bow quickly, and hurried to the PokéCenter quickly, holding two pokeballs. He entered the PokéCenter, and awaited assistance...
-.-.-
Only two minutes later, the pale boy escaped the doors of the jolly, but still official building. His two pokéballs were in a pouch at the side of his waist, and walked towards the next route. He heard someone giggleto his left, and as he glanced over his shoulder, he saw a girl walking, holding hands with a big, muscular boy, giggling. She was parodying Blaise, walking with her back slightly bent. H clutched his fist, and walked towards the couple with rapid, unheard steps.

"I guess it is I you are laughing at!" he said loudly, the girl stiffening and twitched. "I- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..." she started saying, before her boyfriend turned around.
"Somethin' you want, kid!?" he said. He was wearing a white shirt with a collar and blue denim jeans, much like Blaise. His hair had a military cut, and he had sunglasses on the top of his head. " A simple apology would be acceptable" Blaise said, still with the same serious face. He was crossing his own limits, but he was already sick of the laughter. His grey sweater was crossed diagonally at the front by a strap from his bag, and his shoes were leather-brown. His back was bent with the same angle as before.
"It's OK, I'll just appo-" the girl said before being interrupted. She was wearing a green dress with white tights under. Her sandals proved it to be spring in the shining town.
"I'll give ya two seconds to run, kid!" the big boy said. Or was it a man? Only one way to find out. "One... Two!" Blaise said. He was really nervous, but he had beat the gym leader. He had to have better Pokémon than this brute.

The girl tried to talk the man out of it, but it didn't seem to help. Not even the "you don't attack a cripple"-argument. The man picked a pokéball out of his pocket. "I'm Roy. What'ya say to go double, huh? And then double the money!" Roy said. A battle with all their money as a prize? this sounded really risky. But a opportunity to use both his friends at once was too good of a deal. "I'm Bleach, and I'm gonna go out of this rich!" Blaise said.

Blaise threw out two pokeballs, and out popped two pokemon. One was an owl with large, red eyes and seemingly only one leg. The other was a small, blue creature with whiskers that looked like antennae. "Do your best, Craniel and Inky" he said. The man laughed. "Those two wimps!? You're gonna be crushed!" he said. He sent out two large beings. One was a Shiftry, a white-haired treant with leaves on his hands. The other was a large serpent made of rocks. He called it an Onix. The fight begun.
-.-.-
It was over in an instant. The aggressive man of course started with a seemingly strong combo of Rock Throw and Razor Leaf. Craniel the Hoothoot took the blow of leaves, and quickly revolved into a strong Peck. Inkelle the Wooper used a Water Gun and hit the Onix with it, with the force to disorient the Rock throw, and make it miss. Craniel used Mirror Move to shoot Razor Leaves at Onix, and Hypnitized the Shiftry. Wooper ended the Onix with a Mud Shot, while Craniel Pecked the Shiftry to fainting. The man had run off in shame, without giving the money.

Typical. Blaise walked to the Bulletin Board, and wrote down a few things, and showed special interest in the poster with "Help needed" sign and a big, red R drawn on it. The girl came walking, irritated. "Boy, I'm sorry for earlier" she said, as she stopped behind Blaise. He was very timid, and looked away, "It's OK" he said. "No, it's not" she said, and gave him the prize money. "I hope the name Bleach becomes known one day, you were great" she said, and walked away. Blaise opened the ornamented, copper bow again, and looked at the picture of the boy. "It will, and I'll do it together with you, Craniel. You'll be right beside me" he said. He approached the Pokecenter once more...

Pokémon:

Name: Craniel
Species: Hoothoot
Gender: Male
Level: 18
Moves:
Blaise mostly makes him use Hypnosis, and then excessively Peck. As he is carefully bred, Craniel also knows moves like Mirror Move and Feather-Dance.
For defensive purposes, Craniel may use Reflect, and in a pinch Uproar.

Nature: Naive
Description: Blaise's parents bought Hoothoot from a breeder for Blaise's journey, being at lvl. 5. Craniel knows Blaise's feelings very well, and therefore is very naive when it comes to making him irritated or disappointed.

Extra: Craniel is very easily attracted by female members of his egg-group.

-.-.-

Name: Inkelle "Inky"
Species: Wooper
Level: 15
Moves:
Inkelle will usually start a conflict with Tail Whip, despite Bleach's protests. Blaise would like more use of the ranged attacks of her, such as Water Gun and Mud Shot, but Inkelle is a more physical type, and will use Counter and Body Slam just as much.

Nature: Naughty
Description: Blaise met her at the edge of a river, toching the water, but not daring to swim. Since a Wooper's natural habitat, Blaise didn't think much about it while walking towards her. He suddenly pushed her out in the water in carelessness, and quickly picked her up when he noticed the doing. Inkelle noticed that she liked the water, and decided to join Blaise in his travels as a thank.
She is very naughty, and never listens to Bleach, much to both his and Craniel's disdain.

Extra: Inky usually takes the attention away from Craniel, which he thinks is okay... until there's a female avian involved. Therefore, they usually end up fighting when meeting one of these.

[Zephyr the West Wind]

Character Name: Sayomi Nakamura
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Appearance: Sayomi stands at a height of five foot six inches, though she prays that she will stop growing there. Her skin is lightly tanned due to her life spent near the coast. Her hair is a light brown, often referred to as ginger, but only seems as light as ginger when in direct sunlight. When her hair is in a ponytail, as it usually is, the end will reach three inches above her shoulders; while it can be up to six inches when down. She has no visible bangs around her forehead, often taking out a few strands of hair to frame her face. Her eyes are a bright blue that seem like sapphire in the dark, but are not often seen in such dim light. She wears a light blue tank top along with a tan zipper jacket that is never actually zipped up. When she does take it off, a large crescent scar can be seen covering her left arm from where she had been sliced by an Absol. Sayomi wears a black belt around waist that carries both her Pokeballs and a small blue bag that carries her supplies.
Personality: Sayomi is one of the most average people you will ever meet. Though she is mostly kind, it is hidden behind the wall that is formed from pure stubborn independence. She tends to be closest to her Pokemon – finding them to be almost if not more entertaining than most people and trainers that she has met. She treats them as her own family, and as such is a reserved person towards strangers. The moment she gets to know someone, however, that reserved mood will instantly vanish, often leading her to treat her friends as family.

Wherever she goes, she never keeps her Pokemon in a Pokeball. She was often seen to have two or more out at a time. She is not particularly fond of battles, as she leans towards studying Pokemon and sketching them then battling with them – but the recent trouble with Team Rocket has caused her to join in the fight against them.
History: Sayomi was born in Goldenrod City in the Kanto region, but left with her parents at the age of four. She and her parents journeyed through the many different regions, her parents quickly becoming scientists that studied the habitats of odd and rare Pokemon. Due to this, Sayomi grew up learning more about Pokemon then the average young trainer would learn in their trainer schools. The year she turned twelve, Sayomi and her parents had been in the Hoenn Region – over by Fortree City to study the Castform. But after a while, Sayomi had ventured out with Omno in order to sketch the scenery and Pokemon to pass the time…Only to return after an Absol accidentally sliced her arm with the sickle-like blade on its head. The scar remains even today, though Sayomi says it proves how careless she was in her younger days. It turns out that the same Absol later joined her team after Sayomi had seen it outside their campsite one night, urging her over in order to apologize.
Despite being a rather peaceful person, Sayomi has finally decided to go to Vermillion City in hopes of stopping Team Rocket's plan in its tracks.
RP Sample: Taken from 'The Seven Wonders of Pangero'

Spoiler:

A sharp crash came from a small boat in the middle of the ocean, and was shortly followed by a suprised wail.

Spoiler:

"Guys, come on! Absol, don't attack Ninetales!" Sayomi tried ordering. Unfortunately this failed, because she was forced to move out of the way as Absol jumped towards Ninetales. The two wrestled in the small room, biting and clawing at each other. "Enough!" Sayomi said, stamping her foot. "Both of you, separate now!" The two stopped fighting, but made no move to move away - which left them at an awkward angle. Absol 's neck was currently wrapped by two of Ninetales' tails, while Ninetales was stuck on his back, trying to avoid the sharp blade that protruded from Absol's head which was aimed at his throat. Growling in frustration, Sayomi finally managed to pull them apart - though she was nearly hurt in the process. After a few minutes of pulling and scolding, Sayomi forced the Pokemon out onto the deck. She was followed shortly by an unruffled Furret, who had chosen to say out of the fight.

"Sorry about that, Captain!" Sayomi called to the Captain who was currently steering the boat. He nodded, unsurprised. Calling her Furret forward, Sayomi forced the three Pokemon to sit in front of her as she glared at them menacingly. "Ellie," She said, waving to the Furret. "You're just fine. It's Ninetales and Absol I want to talk with." The Pokemon seemed to nod in understanding, because she quickly crawled up onto Sayomi's shoulder and sat back on her haunches, also watching the other Pokemon. Pulling back a rebellious strand of hair, Sayomi continued to glare at the two Pokemon before her.

"Now I understand you two aren't the best of friends, but could you stop fighting? I'm at my wits end with you two! In fact, I'm half inclined to send the both of you to Professor Birch! I'm sure he'd love to see you two again." Both Pokemon lowered their heads, clearly chastised. Sayomi let out a resigned sigh, carefully getting down on her knees so she could look the two in the eye. Ellie took that time to readjust herself to the top of Sayomi's head. "You guys know I love you more then anything, and I'd do anything to protect you, right? So can you guys just tough it out? We've almost reached Pangero, and I don't want you two to take your first steps onto the land with anger as your mood!" The Pokemon nodded their apologies to each other before Sayomi stood up and pulled out three Pokeballs. "Now get some rest, okay?" With that, she withdrew all three of her Pokemon.

"Hey miss! You got some beautiful Pokemon with you, you know? They might not have the best personalities...But they're real beauties." The Captain said, nodding appreciatively. Sayomi smiled and nodded back. "If you ever want to trade with my grandson, all you have to do is holler. But I think he'd be more interested in the Ninetales of yours. Honestly, blue eyes and orange tipped ears? That's a first for my old eyes."

Sayomi shook her head politely, grinning. "Sorry, but he's not up for trade." She said, before moving to the front of the bow to look at the land before them that slowly grew bigger as they approached. "Pangero....We're almost there..." She whispered in excitement.

Pokémon:


Species: Ninetales
Level: 26
Nickname: Omno
Moveset: Omno can often be seen using Dark Pulse or Flamethrower due to the TM's Sayomi used on him, but will not hesitate in using Confuse Ray or Hypnosis.
Nature: Naughty
Description: As his personality states, Omno is a very naughty Pokemon. While he acts calm and refined in front of others- around Sayomi and the rest of her Pokemon, he becomes an attention hog. This was probably caused by the fact that he was Sayomi's very first Pokemon; given to her by her parents while they out studying Pokemon. Because he was the first Pokemon Sayomi ever had, and the one who thinks he knows her best, he tries to display such things when other Pokemon are around. He will even go as far as starting small fights with the others, though he is reprimanded immediately.
Extra: Though not a Shiny Pokemon, Omno is far from a normal Ninetales. His eyes are a bright blue, while his ears are tipped with the same orange as the orange on the tips of his tails.


Species: Absol
Level: 26
Nickname: Rei
Moveset: Rei can often be seen letting out a few Shadow Balls and Dark Pulse's, and isn't much of the defensive type. He focuses on pure power rather then strategy, but is by no means an unintelligent Pokemon. He will often use a combination of moves such as Double Team and Perish Song.
Nature: Mild
Description: Rei was the second Pokemon that Sayomi ever obtained; and it was by no means a happy experience. Rei had been in the forest near Fortree City when Sayomi had come, aiming to sketch him. He took it the wrong way, however, and accidentally sliced her arm with the blade on his head due to how startled he had been. After apologizing to the human girl a few days later, he decided to join her team in hopes of redeeming himself. Though he is naturally a well rounded Pokemon, he tends to fight with Omno more then he would care to admit. Rei normally does this just to keep the peace when the unruly Ninetales' gets out of line.
Extra: Unlike most Absol in the world, Rei has a dark black line that runs down the middle of his back. The tuft of fur on his chest is also colored black, which is an oddity that even Sayomi doesn't understand.

 

[Zirkle38]

Character Name: Taylor Amya Zirkle, she goes by Amya

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Appearance: At first glance, there seems to be nothing notable about Amya. Her height is very normal for her age, 5"5'. A light ivory face is framed in dark brown chin length bangs. The rest of her scrunched hair hangs down her back, reaching just past her shoulders. There are a few light brown highlights on her bangs. She's slim, but with no muscles at all, except on her small calves, presumably from all the walking she does. In the sunlight, her eyes are a very bright blue, some might even say they're pretty, while inside, they're a bit lifeless.
Light blue jean shorts cling tightly to her thighs, and end right before her knees. A cheery yellow tank top fits snugly around her torso, with a violet short sleeved cropped jacket hung loosely over her shoulders. Black Velcro sandals protect her feet, and a pair of yellow and violet striped socks go up to her knees. On her back is a spacious black bag with rainbow polka dots. On the bag is a myriad of different sized pockets. And her last accessory is a purple belt with six slots, made for Pokeballs.

Personality: When you first meet Amya, you may think she's... unorthodox. You'd be right. Her favorite thing to do is dress up in ridiculous costumes, and sometimes that leaks into her everyday attire. Most of the time, her outfits don't match, but she doesn't have a care in the world. Behind all her oddities is a gentle, caring person. Her Pokemon are her first priority and she deeply loves each one. Tough and weak don't mean much to her, she usually picks the Pokemon she likes, and doesn't particularly care to battle, anyway. Amya is a very friendly trainer, but she prefers to befriend people that are kind to their Pokemon. She's more-or-less just a push-over, settling for sarcastic comments rather than a confrontation. But, if she feels strongly enough, she usually won't budge. Even through all of her gentleness, Amya still tends to get into trouble. As a very heavy procrastinator, when she was in school she often forgot to do assignments, or dismissed them altogether. Her attention is also hard to keep for very long, and she found herself drifting away from school to a large farm, so she could play with her Pokemon. But now that she was excused from school to journey as a Pokemon trainer, Amya could procrastinate and wander without consequence.

History: Amya is originally from the Johto region, and was raised in Ecruteak city. Through all of her childhood she was surrounded by myths and legends, but wasn't very interested. Her parents had always pushed her to become a Kimono girl, but with that came discipline, and she didn't want any part of it. What really interested her were the Pokemon from the legends. Everyday after school she went to the Burned Tower and looked at its ash covered walls. She'd wait a few minutes to see if she could feel any of the Pokemon from the legends, and she never could. Nonetheless, she did this everyday.

One day, Amya actually did feel different. She looked around, but saw nothing. There seemed to be some sort of presence, but she couldn't tell why. Out of the corner of her eye, a brilliant silver shimmered. She looked up toward the spec, but Amya couldn't see anything. After that day, she decided to go on a journey, searching for that silver Pokemon she was sure appeared. That brings her to today, where she now resides in Cianwood City, because of it's proximity to Whirl Islands.

Spoiler:

"Hold... on..." panted Salin. After that lengthy run, he wasn't sure if his legs would stay attached. Mimi just giggled and skipped to the spot in front of him. Salin tried to look at her with an upset face, but her angelic eyes were just too much for him to stay mad. 'How does something so fragile looking have so much energy?' he thought. Mimi looked at him impatiently and said, "Well if I knew you would get tired so fast, we would have taken the short way, instead of go--" "There was a short way?" he said, trying to sound angry. That outburst was too much for him, and he sat down, with a low thud. Snickering, Mimi sat down beside him. "Well, it's not that much shorter at all. The way we took was definitely worth it. Didn't you think the things was saw were pretty?" she beamed. Salin had no choice but to smile back. The things they saw were kinda nice looking. There were these wicked cool flowers that changed colors depending on who was touching them. It was a kind of mood ring, just a lot more accurate. They also saw some tidal pools with little neon fish swimming around. Salin had tried to catch one, but it turned out they bit. Instead of feeling sorry for Salin like he had expected, Mimi just laughed. "You'd do the same if someone was trying to catch you," she said. That thought reminded him she was still just inches away, waiting for an answer. "Yeah, I guess," Salin said, "but it doesn't compare to the view right here," he said, with love seeping into every word. Mimi blushed, and beamed still. "Well..." she mused, "we could just stay here, if you don't care about that surprise," Salin thought that over for a second. "No, I know you really want me to see. Plus, I do want to know what all the fuss is about." Mimi brushed her lips on Salin's forehead, "If you want," then she got up and brushed the dirt off of herself. Salin sighed and got up, grabbing Mimi's hand. They walked slower now, both filled with anticipation for the place they were going. Mimi had been going to this place whenever she needed an escape, and now that she had found her other half, she knew this place would be magical for the both of them. Salin, on the other hand, had no idea where they were going. Whenever he asked where it was, she'd always say 'Somewhere magical' and give him that irresistible smile.

Is that enough? If not, I could lengthen it. And is it too story-ish? I'm not good at examples, because they always turn out to be story things, were in a roleplay my posts are usually shaped by other people, a plot, etc. I can always try, try, try again (:

Pokémon: Sandshrew and Furret

Pokemon 1 -
Species: Sandshrew

Level: 19

Nickname: Syria

Moveset:
Earthquake
Dig
Poison Jab
Gyro Ball

Nature: Naive

Description: One day while her parents still thought Amya may turn out to be a Kimono girl, they decided to search for what they thought was a 'sturdy' Pokemon. Amya's mother caught the Sandshrew with her Slowpoke. Once her parents returned to show her, Amya immediately fell in love with her new Pokemon. Amya named him Syria, after a desert because she found her companion didn't much care for moisture.

Extra: Syria is a very mellow Pokemon, and loves Amya, although Irra finds him clingy. His favorite thing to do is listen to music on the Radio.

Pokemon 2 -
Species: Furret

Level: 17

Nickname: Irra

Moveset:
Swift
Shadow Ball
Return
Water Pulse

Nature: Relaxed

Description: After Amya decided to start out on a Pokemon journey, the first pokemon she captured was a Sentret, mainly due to it's cuteness. Once she saw the PokeDex entry, she thought of a nickname that would be suitable for her first self-caught pokemon. The mazes they dig underground led her to labyrinth, and the German translation for labyrinth is irrgarten. And, she derived Irra from that. After having her for a while, she evolved at level 15. Amya was very pleased.

Extra: Irra is mainly sweet, but she prefers humans to Pokemon, and this frustrates Syria sometimes, who wants a Pokemon companion. Irra enjoys to dress up with Amya, and they have become very close.

 

[ArcanineOod]

Here's my SU. I'm willing to add anything needed. ^__^

Character Name: Diana Leton

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Appearance: Diana is 5"7, slim and feminine. Her muscles are well toned but are not so large she looks unnaturally buff. Her wide open eyes are red-violet: warm and comforting, with beautifully curved and styled eyebrows that complement her arched eye shape. Her eyelashes are long and dark. Diana's dirty blonde hair lies semi tied back from her face, but with the main body of it loose around her shoulders.

Diana always carries herself well, with a straight back and good posture. She isn't the type to let her emotions be extravagantly displayed on her face, but always keeps a measured countenance; she's the type of person whose eyes tell the story. Diana has high cheekbones and full lips, and while her skin is pale by genes, it was been tanned by an active outdoor lifestyle.

When it comes to clothes, Diana prefers to dress stylishly but with room for active movement. Her usual outfit is that of a simple straw coloured Ancient Greek style dress (much like a Chiton) that reaches down to the top of her knees, made out of a light, thin material and a wide green girdle that sits upon her waist. On her feet lies a pair of old and worn, yet comfortable, sandals that allow easy and swift movement. If she requires warm clothing, Diana dons a long tan trenchcoat which she keeps in a beige shoulder tote bag.

Personality: Diana has always been a rather aloof girl. She prefers her own company to that of other humans, yes, but she does not shirk society. While she would probably prefer to be alone, exploring a forest (which she does very often) she often attends social gatherings and is well aware of the rules of social etiquette.

As stated before, Diana often ditches human company and explores forests with her Pokemon. She finds thrill in adventure and likes to feel at one with nature. Forests and caves are absolutely her favourite place to be, although she relishes the thought of exploring anywhere. She's a curious girl who likes to face the unknown.

Pokemon battles aren't really her thing, although her quiet confidence can sometimes unnerve her opponent and give her the upper hand; she prefers to train her Pokemon by letting them free from their Pokeballs to run around and explore to gain real world experience. She prefers to explore and discover than to fight.

History: Diana was born in the beautiful Azelea Town, and along with her mother Clara, father Justin and younger brother Archer lived in the peaceful village. Living in such a small, quiet community, Diana learned patience and courage, for she always had to travel through either Ilex Forest or Union Cave in order to reach different towns. She was educated in Earl's Pokemon Academy of Violet City, and was accompanied there by her parents until she was seven years old. By that time she had spent so much time exploring Union Cave, Ilex Forest, the Ruins of Alph and the Slowpoke well that she no longer feared the journey. In fact, she relished the thought of exploring caves and forests alone. She became very attached to Flying Types, admiring their agility and beauty, and became interested in the history of Johto because of her constant explorations of the Ruins of Alph.
She was present when the Rockets made their attack on the Slowpoke Well, but was not old enough to know what to do. She simply hid away in Ilex Forest for most of that distressing period.
Upon reaching the age of ten, she was presented with her first Pokemon by her parents; an bright female Aipom. With a spring in her step, Diana set out on her Pokemon journey, exploring all over Johto with Aipom at her side (or more usually up a nearby tree). She later caught a Natu at her old haunt, the Ruins of Alph, which eventually evolved into a Xatu.
While Diana grew up with these friends and had to make her way with maturity and sophistication through the dog-eat-dog world of Pokemon battling, she never forgot her love for climbing through caves or flitting through forests, nor that sense of wonder she got when exploring the Ruins of Alph and attempting to figure out the mystery of its history. Upon hearing about the quest to head back in time to defeat the Rockets, therefore, and remembering the damage they did to her hometown (however short lived), she decided that she would sign up and experience the feeling of heading into the unknown past to influence it positively in any way she could. She was thrilled at the chance to experience the history she had only dreamed of before.


RP Sample

Spoiler:

The girl breathed in the fresh air of the forest, her eyes sparkling and her lips turning up slightly at the corners. Her slender fingers lightly stroked the two Pokeballs that hung from her girdle, and with a swift movement they were soaring through the air, soon to be mimicked by the Pokemon that were freed from them. With a jolly yelp, a purple Pokemon grabbed a nearby branch of one of the many tall trees with its tail and now happily hung upside down, chattering away in its Pokemon tongue. The second Pokemon drifted gently down to the ground, its large wings outstretched and its wise eyes contemplating all that was and all that could be. Upon reaching the soft, mossy earth, it stood still. Xatu stood gazing up at its companion, its deep grey eyes looking yet not truly seeing the Aipom grinning back at it.

Spoiler:

The companion of the two Pokemon, the human, gazed in silent joy at her partners. Diana Leton brushed her golden locks back behind her shoulder, then knelt down on one knee in front of her Mystic Flying Type and placed a soft hand upon its beak in understanding and pride. No words were needed. Her red-violet eyes conveyed all the affection she felt for Xatu.
Out of the corner of her eye, Diana caught sight of an official looking notice swaying the light breeze of the grove, and rose to her feet to investigate it.
"Aipom," she called. At once the Long Tail Pokemon acknowledged her with a chirp and swiftly sprung from branch to branch and down onto its trainer's waiting, outstretched arm. Diana walked with purpose to the notice, the folds of her thin dress swishing about her knees, and lightly fingered it as her eyes drifted over the words. Raising an eyebrow in amusement, she glanced at Xatu. "A joke?" she wondered out loud, before murmuring "Surely… Could it... be?" She stood up straight and reached for the Pokeballs at her waist. "It's worth a look," she reasoned. "Return." At once the figures on her shoulder and the ground disappeared in a flash of red light, returning to their Pokeballs. "To Kanto, ladies. To Vermillion. To the past."

Pokémon:

Species: Aipom

Level: 27

Nickname: N/A

Moveset: Swift, Fury Swipes, Tickle, Sand Attack

Nature: Jolly

Description: Diana's parents felt that Diana didn't express her emotions enough, and didn't laugh enough for a child. They therefore presented her with Aipom as her starter Pokemon upon her tenth birthday in the hope that she would be taught to express joy properly.
Aipom is… Hyper. She's jolly and carefree, and likes nothing more than swinging from trees (usually upside down!), playing jokes and generally making a nuisance of herself. As a rule, Diana doesn't carry sugary snacks, instead preferring fruits and nuts, but Aipom can't get enough of them when she gets the chance to eat them.


Species: Xatu

Level: 28
Nickname: N/A
Moveset: Lucky Chant, Wish, Confuse Ray, Night Shade
Nature: Serious
Description: Diana caught Xatu as a Natu while exploring the Ruins of Alph. She simply caught sight of it staring at her. Despite being quiet herself, Diana was slightly disturbed by its behaviour, and so was Aipom, who happened to be out of her ball at that moment. Upon taking a few tentative steps away, Diana watched as Natu hopped a few steps after her and stopped as she had done. Her interest piqued, Diana sent out Aipom to battle Natu, and was impressed at the Flying Type's mystique. It reminded her of the very reason she had come to the Ruins of Alph in the first place, and so endeavoured to capture it.
After months of travelling, Natu eventually evolved into Xatu. It became much more serious and still, and Diana appreciated its quiet wisdom.
Xatu often stands as still as a statue, simply gazing into space with its deep, enigmatic, grey eyes; looking but not seeing; hearing but not listening.

[wildsparkgirl]

Character Name: Mina Posu

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Appearance: Mina is slender and around 5 feet and 4 inches. She has chocolate brown hair in two high ponytails, reaching to her waist; when her hair is down it reaches to her thighs. Mina's eye color is a honey brown color. She is around 115 lbs. and has a light Hawaiian tan skin tone.

Mina wears baggy dark blue jeans, a pastel purple T-shirt with a silver design of a moonflower and a white undershirt. She has white tennis shoes, a black hip bag on both sides of her waist, and multi-colored bracelets around her wrists.

Personality: Mina is a free spirit when she is alone. However with family and friends she is polite and friendly; strangers are greeted with a wary but happy front. Although she is a kind and gentle-hearted girl she has no hesitation when her Pokemon and friends are in trouble to jump into action, violently of nesscary.

Mina has an extreme hate for being caged, look at history for more details. She prefers being out in the open air and where she can see the sky. Too long in one place, depending on the size of said place, can make her snappy and agitated. She is a true music lover and enjoys laying down in the afternoon and listening to the radio for an hour. Wind is another love of Mina's; she likes the feel of a breeze, gust, or whisper of wind.

History: Mina was born in the Honenn region in the town of LittleRoot (Did you want me to make up a different town or still go with the canon towns?) Mina's parents kept her locked up in the house, only leaving her with books and other things to keep her occupied. Mina learned about the world but never lived in it.

She lived this way until age 15 1/2, circumstances of hospitalization of her parents brought her to a one-person apartment. The sudden bout of freedom given to her scared her. She kept enclosed in the apartment for a half-a-year until finally realizing she couldn't wait around any longer and stepped out into the world. After receiving her first Pokemon, she knew she wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer.

[pokemongarnet]

thank you for editing that wildsparkgirl. but daveyp1997 you need to rework that completely you were way to vague, look at the other SUs to get a good idea how an SU should look

 

[daveyp1997]

im fairly new to rping itd be longer if i had a sample...............

 

[Zirkle38]

Daveyp1997; I might have some useful tips, if you want. You said he has blond hair. How long is it? Is it messy, or does he keep it very tidy? You could talk about his eyes, and his clothing especially. Assume I don't know what they boy from Soul Silver looks like. Describe the details. Does he have good posture? Or does him being weak make him prone to slumping, and an all around not confident gait? Why does he hate climbing? When he was younger did a caterpie jump out and scare him from the tree? The history is also very important. Where did your person come from? When creating a character, answer questions like, where? why? who? what? when? and how? There are a million little things you can add (:

 

[pokemongarnet]

One more character before the RP begins

 

[Dimenticato]

Magical Leaf

Character Name: Adam Locke
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Appearance: Adam has brown hair, which is reasonably short but always well kept. He has misty grey eyes that do not betray any emotion and his skin is very pale. His mouth is small and usually a thin, hard pressed line, only a few shades darker than the rest of his skin. He doesn't have any skin marks or blemishes. His nose is quite small, but not inproportionately so, and his eyes are about average.

He is quite tall, but a lot of his height comes from his legs, but not enough to make himself look gangly. He has medium sized arms and long, graceful, dainty hands, with very elegant and long fingers. His legs are graceful and elegant, and look like they've been through a lot of acrobatics. He is very lean and very agile.

Adam's self made "Armour" Is very durable. He wears burgundy armour of adamantium all over his body, legas and feet, which protects him from fire and most other forms of attack due to engineering and enhancements. Over his chest and back, he wears a plate of black metal with a small gap running down and then separating to circle him right around to his back to provide flexibility. His legs are also covered in adamantium, and have black plates running down them, too. His shoes are made of adamantium and look like combat boots, but smaller and sleeker. He wears a small cape that is only over his right shoulder and goes down halfway his back.

Personality:
Adam isn't the kind of person who you'd meet and instantly like. He rarely speaks to anyone except his closest friends. He practically radiates an aura of malice and fear, but also of loneliness and sadness, and other people instinctively know- He's not one of them. He's different. An outsider.

He has extreme standards for friendship and trustworthiness towards other people, and he deigns very few people to be worthy to even regard as a friend. If you could gain his trust, you'd find he wasn't a completely emotionless. In truth, he is a lonely and generally sad person, and his silence and apartheism are drawn from his sadness, and his intelligence lets him use it to a great amount of success. He is an emotional and creative person.

However, kindness is not a word that comes familiarly from Adam. He has a strong desire for justice, but his idea of justice is his own and will conflict with others. He is not accustomed to giving out random acts of kindness to those who he doesn't know. He'll often only aid those who he considers he owes a favour, or those who have earned his trust and respect.

Adam takes vengeance, promises and honour very seriously. To someone who he makes a promise, he will go to any length to fulfill his promise. If he is made a promise, he expects it done, and if it isn't, life coul rapidly get unpleasant for those who would fail him. Despite all, his silence is his most prized trait, and he always tries to remain quiet at all times.

Adam loves the environment, and by extension, any Grass Pokemon. Despite the common misconception, he isn't one of those hippie environmentalists; he is a true envrionmental warrior, ready to fight, and possibly die, to save the planet. His "Armour" Is proof of his skirmishes. Many would call him an eco-terrorist.

Overall, He is very, very quiet, and a loner. He knows who has power and who doesn't. He walks with an air of malice and seems incredibly sinister. He never seems to show any emotion other than comprehension, but inside, he is a compassionate and determined soul, willing to do anything to acheive his personal justice. And he never forgets. And he never forgives.

History:
From a young age, Adam was an outcast. Always the one who would be teased and picked on. Always the one who would be alone whenever it came to choose partners. Always the one who'd get kicked around by those who were stronger than him. But instead of channeling the energy into anger, he made into sadness and regret. And vengeance. Always vengeance.

As he grew, he came to understand a great truth. People were evil and they ruined everything they touched. It was this that helped him become who he was. It was this that helped him train himself to become nature's guardian. And, when he was older, it helped him to fight for the planet.

When he was 10, about four years after his family had moved to Celadon City, his parents split up, leaving him feeling truly alone, so he set off on his Pokemon journey to find adventure, friendship and peace with his precious Chikorita, Florence. During his many battles and attacks on factories and their owners, his Chikorita evolved into a Bayleef, and he's working to evolve it again.

This is my first RP.

The two became inspearable, to the poitn that Adam would allow Florence to sleep on his bed. When he set off on his journey, Adam naturally took Florence along with him. When the pair attacked an oil cruiser, she engaged in battle several Water Pokemon. The amount of experience gained from the fight let her evolve. She is known for a love of classical music and ice cream.

Nickname: Rose
Moveset:
Mega Drain

Description:
Rose was Adam and Florence's first new partner. On a trip to the Hoenn region, Adam found an injured Budew and took it into his care. After it was fully reccovered, it evolved into a Roselia because of it's feelings towards Adam, and it joined Adam and Florence in their quest to save nature and combat the forces of technology and environmental harm. Since then, she was exposed to the radiation of a Shiny Stone when Adam bought one off of a merchant, mistakenly believing it to be a diamond. She adores mostly herself, and likes mirrors and jewellery. She also loves cherries.



Species: Breloom
Level: 23
Nickname: Toxin
Moveset:
Mach Punch
Leech Seed
Stun Spore
Headbutt

Nature: Brave

Description:
Toxin is the most aggressive and dynamic of Adam's Pokemon, and the way he came to join Adam is equally so. Adam was tending to some plants that he had found near his camp in Petalburg woods when Toxin, at this stage a Shroomish, attacked him with a cloud of spores, thinking he was a predator. When he woke up, he set off after it, with Florence and Rose following on. He found it tending to some mushrooms, and sent Rose out to fight it. During the ensuing battle, Adam managed to capture Toxin and gain his trust, and eventually, it evolved into a Breloom.
