[Marked] 14+

[インフェルノの津波]

Congratulations.

You've been Marked.

[story]

Trillions of years ago, when the universe was young, 3 beings were fighting to the death. Each were beings known as the Beings. The original species from where life truly sprouted from. They were as big as the Earth itself.

Moving on, the three beings were known as Calamity, the harbinger of death, a deviant of the Being race because it thought it was the greatest out of all of them, and it wanted to destroy it's brothers to reproduce and have it's own "perfect children". Saviour, and Pure, two sibilings, the strongest of the Beings, and the last of their kind thanks to Calamity. It took many years for the fight to finish, but it did, in Saviour's and Pure's favors.

Sealing Calamity away, because they could not kill him, and then locked themselves away as well, because they both fought for centuries.

Go trillions of years later, Saviour and Pure have awoken. Shocked by their sudden awakening, and then come to find out Calamity is starting to break through it's seals.

Too weak to stop Calamity (between previous wounds, not getting enough sleep, and suddenly going into battle again isn't the best for any creature), Saviour and Pure must do the unthinkable; seek help from a much more fragile and young species known as Humans. With their powers, Saviour and Pure seek out Humans they think that are fit for the job. They only need 10.

You're one of them.

[plot]

You're one of the Marked, one of Saviour's and Pure's chosen warriors. They've given you powers that shouldn't be possible for humans nor Pokemon, and then explain to you their drastic situation. Given the fact everyone you know will die if you don't help them, you agree to help them.

They tell you to find the other humans with a Mark, and warn you; Calamity and his minions will stop at nothing to take you, and your fellow Markers as well, not to mention your friends and family.

So be prepared for what is to come.

[what are the Marks? And Markers?]

The Marks are just what they are: Marks given to you from what little power Saviour and Pure had. Apparently, according to them humans harness something 'Infinite Potential', meaning you have no limits to what you can do.

Anyway, the Marks are in the shape of the Greek alphabet letters, such as Alpha, Omega, Gamma, Delta, etc. You have the upper case version of the Greek letter, while your Pokemon (in Exceed and Unleashed forms, explained later) have the lower case form. It resides on your dominant arm. It will glow crimson red at some times of crisis.

The Marks give you an array of powers, basic ones being:

Telepathy with other Markers (when you meet them of course), Pokemon and Saviour/Pure.
Heightened adrenaline rush, ability to sense danger.
Ability to sense other Markers, Mark will glow when nearby.
Ability to make Pokemon go into Exceed and Unleashed forms.

Along with those abilities, each Mark has it's own unique ability.

The following 10 Marks are:

Alpha - The First Mark. User is given the ability of telekinesis, the ability to move objects with one's mind. The user gets a migraine afterwards.

Gamma - The Second Mark. User can transform into any Pokemon/Human for 1 hour. The user has to eat large quantities of food later though.

Zeta - The Third Mark. The user can disintegrate into physically nothing but have their mind intact. It wears off after 10 minutes. The user becomes depressed for a brief time period.

Iota - The Fourth Mark. The bearer can briefly enhance their thinking capabilities, even beyond those of an Alakazam's for about 10 minutes. A headache comes after using this.

Mu - The Fifth Mark. The holder can see into the soul of any being and see their true self. The user feels disoriented afterwards.

Xi - The Sixth Mark. The user can see the possible outcome out of every action for a brief minute. Afterwards the user will need to rest for a short time period.

Omicron - The Seventh Mark. The bearer can manipulate nature for 3 minutes. Afterwards, all beings may not want to be touched by the user for 10 minutes.

Sigma - The Eighth Mark. The holder can cause momentary confusion within any being. They feel confused for a short time period afterwards.

Upsilon - The Ninth Mark. The holder can stop time for 2 minutes. They feel breathless for a while though.

Omega - The Tenth Mark. The bearer can control the shadows for 1 hour. The side effect? A piece of their sanity is taken from them.

[what're Exceed and Unleashed Pokemon?]

'Exceed' is a phenomenon that happens when a Marker gives some of their power to a fully-evolved Pokemon that makes it go beyond it's own limits, like say a Charizard was made into an Exceed, it would grow much larger, it's flame would turn blue, it's wings' heat can burn down forests just by flapping them, and it's flames can burn down mountains. Legendaries affected by Exceed could very well flatten continents. Also, the Marker and his/her's Pokemon share the same vision in this state.

Unleashed is different. It's a more 'watered down' version of Exceed. It instead heightens your Pokemon's normal abilities, and they act more like a beast and give in to their primal instincts as well, making it easier to achieve than Exceed, but much more risky. It also doesn't need fully-evolved Pokemon.

[rules]

Normal RP rules apply, but one other rule.

Do not find other Markers without my consent or each other's. I don;t want all of you to be together at like Post #3!

[649]

Is it possible to reserve Mu? I swear I will have my SU up by today.

 

[Clark]

If reservations are possible, I'd like to reserve Omega. Normally I don't like reserving spots for RPs, but I'm thinking that particular mark may be important for my character's later development, and I'd rather be safe than sorry...

 

[649]

Here's my signup so far. (unfinished)
Shouldn't the pokemon have a personality, though? I can include that in the history, but...

Spoiler:

[Human]
Name: Benji Svorzowski
Age: 16
Height: 5'8"
Hair: Benji seems to think it's cool to have his hair greased back. Has a bit of a skinny ponytail in the back. Jet black.
Clothes: Has a light blue T-Shirt that says "In the sky, there is no one freer than a falcon," and many other similar T-Shirts. Likes jeans that are completely ripped around the ankle. Wears crocs, and thinks they are the coolest things in the world. He has orange, black, red, and camo crocs.
Backpack: Cheez Whiz, assorted keys (useless), one Folger's coffee jar, with coffee beans, a plush dinosaur, several pairs of crocs, each filled with candy, and a first aid kit and survival kit.
Personality: He is very optimistic. This optimism is sometimes quite annoying, especially when it is the time to be realistic, but he thinks it is important to keep a bright outlook on life, so as to be able to take on any of life's obstacles. He is also extremely protective. Once he decides someone is important enough to protect, which is unfortunately often, due to his friendly nature, he will not stop protecting them. If anyone important is in danger, he will jump in and risk all to protect that person. He sees himself as a hero. He is confident in his abilities, and he will save the day for everybody, and then everybody will love him! He also thinks he has awesome fashion sense.
Others, though, see him as a loudmouth, slightly annoying, overly optimistic, and eccentric. He is very funny, although it takes time to understand his strange jokes. Once you get to know him, you will spend hours at a time listening to his tales of wonder. He has an almost nonexistent temper, unless someone important is in danger. He will get extremely angry with his opponents, and will not rest unless they have been sufficiently punished. Most of the time, though, he is an optimistic person who takes all the punches thrown at him, and then laughs it off. He has this habit of slicking back his greased hair, and looking up at the sky. Once he looks up, he tends to feel better, and become more focused. He will not back down against an opponent if someone is in danger, and he is capable of making friends pretty easily. His weakness is that others tend to get annoyed by him, and he is reckless in battle. He is prone to making stupid mistakes, although it usually works out in the end.
Mark: Mu - The ability to see in a living being's true soul, at the cost of being disorientated afterwards.
Family: He has lived with a pair of loving parents, until he was 15, when he left to become a Pokemon Trainer. His father, Serge, was quite stern, but he would always be loving and protective of his son. There are times when Benji resented his father for being too strict, but those times never seem to last. Serge works as a sailor, so Benji didn't see him that much, but whenever Serge was home, he would devote his attention to his family. The mother, Lana, is kind and caring. She loves Pokemon, and always seemed to be out playing with Pokemon. She is also a very good cook, and would cook for the whole of One Island on occasion. Mostly, she is a stay-at-home mom, as Serge was out most of the time. She used to run a restaurant, and has slight regrets for deciding not to work, but she feels that family is more important. Benji has an older sister, Irina. Benji knew that Irina was sweet, and just precious. But, at age 11, she came down with an unusual illness. She was prone to psychic outbursts, and she was frail most of the time. These powers have made people hate her, so Benji has protected her all his life. Then she mysteriously disappeared at the age of 16, when Benji was 14. Benji vowed to find her and return her safely, which was part of the reason he became a Pokemon Trainer.
Hometown: One Island
Region: Sevii Islands
History: As soon as Benji walked out of his house on One Island, he immediately decided where he wanted to go. He had decided to go to the Unova region, purely because the name seemed cool. He was another ordinary rookie trainer, he had gotten an Oshawott from Professor Juniper, and he started out struggling, like some others. It was his will, and his determination that prompted him to keep going. He had already collected an entourage of friends. Then, when he had gotten to the Resort Desert, he found a Sandile. Or, to be more accurate, it had attacked Benji, biting it on the leg. "Cool! A sand alligator!" And he immediately got in a battle with it.
Using his Oshawott, he had caught the Sandile! He had named it the Krok, and he kept going. Eventually, even though he had several other pokemon, the Krok was so insanely powerful after evolution, it just dominated the rest of his pokemon. The Krok became the only one. Benji was one of the first to arrive at the Pokemon League, out of his group of friends. The Krok then proceeded to dominate the League, all except Adeku. It was very close, but the Krok had ended up losing. Benji then realized that this is not what he should be doing. Hadn't he set out to find his sister...?
Then Benji released the Krok, and used only his Oshawott, to ask around Unova. He looked around to no avail, until he somehow got captured by Team Plasma. In their dungeon cells, he saw his sister, after so long... He called out to her, I'm here! But there was no reply. He wanted to get out of his jail cell. To save her. Then, from down the hall, a bloody massacre ensued. A Krookodile was going crazy. It was the Krok! But why? The Krok rampaged around, and destroyed the dungeon. He could escape! So he escaped. He had tried to save Irina, but when he looked at her, she was already being airlifted out of the chaos. He resigned himself to the fact that the Krok was the best partner for him, despite being so violent. He made it his goal to save her sister, and nothing else.

[Pokemon]
Pokemon Partner: Krookodile
Nickname: the Krok. As in, "Fear the Krok! The Krok will crunch you up!"
Ability: Moxie
Nature: Adamant
Exceed form: Its eyes turn shiny. (Yellow all over instead of black.) It can now see everything in a 100 ft radius, and it controls the earth in that radius. Its bite can shatter a steel girder in a million pieces. It also speeds up immensely, allowing it to snap up its prey in a second, from over 100 ft away. To it, the world is "slowed down", it shares the Mu power of seeing souls, and its attacks are 100% accurate.
Unleashed form: It becomes extremely angry, and destroys everything in its radius. Steer clear of this thing. Outrage's power is significantly increased.
Moves: Outrage, Earthquake, Fissure, Crunch, Embargo,
Unique Attributes: Has no real unique attributes, except for its exceed form.
Personality: The Krok is ferocious and angry. However, since traveling with Benji, it knows what's good, and what's bad. It seems to have an uncanny ability of knowing whether others have good intentions or not. The Krok is also obsessed with being the king. He wants to be the strongest, to have pokemon respect and follow him. He is also a bit of a glutton, he enjoys eating. But he is not lazy at all. He is ambitious and protective of his denizens, including Benji. He likes to think that he is the master of Benji, but in reality, Benji is the one controlling him.
History: The Krok was always the strongest Sandile in the Desert Resort. It has fought hard to attain this role, brutally fighting with other Sandiles. It then fought with the other pokemon of that area, and rose to the top. As the "king" of the desert, it commanded the denizens of the desert to do nefarious deeds, like stealing food from passerby trainers, build statues in honor of himself, etc. Eventually, he sent out a challenge. Whoever was capable of defeating him, would be king. Of course, the disgruntled denizens all rose to the challenge. But they were too weak. Far too weak. He was bored. So he ventured out to Route 4, when he saw a trainer. This trainer, of course, was Benji.

He then tried to steal his food, but the trainer sent out his Oshawott. Thinking this would be easy, he fought the Oshawott. However, he lost. He had never lost before. This made him realize that there were much stronger pokemon than him. He let himself be captured by this trainer, partly out of respect for his win, but also because he wanted to travel. He wanted to be the king. He would go to any lengths to be king. He quickly evolved when his trainer beat the 4th gym, and again when he beat the 7th gym. By this time, the Krok knew he was the strongest, as nobody could stand up to him. However, when he faced the strongest trainer, he had lost. So close.

He was furious, so furious, he started demolishing Opelucid City. Benji immediately regained control of him, scolded him, and told him that this was not the way. Being attached to Benji, the Krok knew this wasn't the way. Benji then released the Krok, so the Krok could become stronger on his own while Benji had his own mission to do. They parted, but they maintained a bond with each other. When Benji was in danger, the Krok immediately rushed to his aid. This was where he discovered his unleashed form, as he tore thruogh Team Plasma's base effortlessly. When Benji was saved, he knew that the Krok would help him on his journey. They became partners again.

RP Sample: Nothing from your past works, write up a quick 3 paragraphs for me to see what you're capable of. Doesn't have to be Pokemon either.

 

[pokemongarnet]

If the RP i'm doing ends up dying, could you please reserve me a spot depending, of course on how long reservations last.

 

[ComiTurtle]

I would like to reserve the spot with upsilon, please. Thank you.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Ah, looks like this has been busy while I've been gone.

And Omega is reserved by Ilike2eatpies! Upsilon is reserved by ComiTurtle!

Also, added Pokemon Personality!

 

[Baker's Bulbasaur]

This actually sounds really cool, but before taking the time to do a sign up and get too excited about it;
You make a lot of references to 'Not being around' or 'disapearing'
obviously we all have busy lives and things to do, but where you say 'If I'm absent for more then 2 weeks, find a new GM'', is that likely to happen? Because I doubt someone would be willing to randomly take over a be the GM of a story they haven't created!

Sorry if all that sounds negative, just wanted to ask ^^

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Well I guess if I'm gone for two weeks or more I can e-mail them the story of which I planned out. I'm not going to randomly just put them in that position.

But yeah, enough OOC stuff! If you have anymore, please sue the OOC thread!

 

[Baker's Bulbasaur]

OOC - Good enough for me ^^

My Sign-Up, will finish it tomorrow, Bulba needs sleepy now!

[Human]
Name:
Melchior Gabor (Mel-kee-or Ga-bore)

Age:
19

Height:
6'2

Clothes:
Melchior has shoulder length blonde hair which is always blowing freely in the wind, although he never spends time straightening or styling it, the way it falls is effortlessly quite cool.
He wears skinny black jeans with a dark green pokebelt. His shoes are white knee high cowboy boots, both with a dark green urban symbol on them.
He sports a tight, white, deep Y neck t-shirt. Over this is a black, retro style waistcoat.
On both of his hands he also wears white fingerless gloves, with an ''X'' symbol on them
(If you're a WWE fan, think CM Punk''

Backpack:
1x Pokeflute
1x Black Flure
3x Revive
3x Full Restore
5x Pokeballs


Personality:

Melchior is about as easy going as they get.
He has never been very interested in battleing competitively. He won his only three gym battles with ease, and has his fair share of win in battles with trainers that have challenged him. This is not to say that he has never lost, but he terats a loss the same way he treats a win; showing a complete lack of interest. He is however very attatched to grass pokemon, and especially his Grovyle, but the time he spends with his Grovyle is more spent by having fun, wether by swimming, surfing, or generally just chilling out and playing music.

Whenever he encounters a another grass type pokemon he will always approach it and make friends. The reason for this is he believes grass types to be the most relaxed, and remind him much of himself.

He is very intelligent, and tends to be very good at most thigns he does, but he never shows much pride in himself, or shows off any of his skills. The only time he speaks words of of praise is when he is complimenting his Grovyle, or offering words of encouragement to wild grass pokemon. Furthermore he doesn't see Grovyle as ''His'' Pokemon, he sees him as a friend, and cosnatntly thanks his pokemon for doing the things he asks. He constantly gives his grovyle the option of leaving is he wishes, telling him that he doesn't want grovyle to feel trapped, or enslaved by Melchior. Needless to say Grovyle has never expressed desire to leave.

Melchior also has a lot of trouble sleeping due to disturbing dreams, he can never quite recall what the dream was about, but he knows it always involves him around the age he is now, and his Grovyle battling, and aruptly ends when Grovyle changes colour and turns to Melchior with white eyes; this dream ahs been reoccuring though since Melchior was 11, and before Grovyle had evolved from a Treecko,

Overall, Melchior is a very cool, calm, and collected character. He is never cruel, but shows a distinct lack of interest to anything but providing for grass pokemon the best he can, and playing with them.

He is very rarely seen without his Harmonica, and he has become very apt at playing it, which is one one of his favourite past times, and something he does reguarly to entertain and relax Grovyle, and any othe grass pokemon he meets.

Mark:
Xi

Family:
Mother: Wendla Bergman
Father: Moritz Gabor
Grandmother: Grandma Bergman

Hometown:
Kanto: Cinnibar Island
Hoenn: Fallabor Town

Region:
Orange Islands

History:

Melchior was born in Cinnibar Island in Kanto, but his parents soon after moved to the Hoenn region to be closer to his grandparents.

As a child growing up Melchior grew very closely attatched to his grandfather, who always used to play his Harmonica for Melchior; who was always completely captivated by this, and very often when angry or upset it was the only way to calm him down or get him to sleep.
As a boy he had a love for grass type pokemon, but only grass types. His parents found it concerning that he would show no interest towards any of the house pokemon, or those that would occasionally roam the garden. He never showed them any sort of cruelty or signs of hate, he just tended to ignore them, but spent a lot of time with any grass pokemon that he met.

When Melchior turned 8 his grandfather became very ill, he wasn't particuarly old, but had spent a large amount of his youth traveling as a pokemon trainer. he had been very sucessful and gained a lot of respect, but was eliminated in the first round of every league championship he had entered in his life.
It was generally assumed that the work and stress that he had put on himself through over the years he spent as a full time trainer had exhauted him to a point where body was never going to last as long as normal.
When Melchior was 9, his grandfather passed away, and this greatly effected Melchior.
On his grandfathers deathbed, he had said to melchior

''I always knew I would never going to become a pokemon master, you could say I foresaw every defeat I was destined to go through beforehand, but you my boy are meant for great things, I can see it''

At this point he gave his Harmonica to Melchior as a present.

Melchior spent every moment of his time over the next 2 years playing the harmonica, but he could never perfect it the way his grandfather had.

On his 10th birthday he chose his first pokemon, this pokemon was a Treecko. However, he chose not to embark on a pokemon journey. The pokeballs he had recieved to catch new pokemon went unused, and he spent all of his time playing and practicing with his Treecko.
Just before Melchior turned 11, he was becoming increasingly more frustrated at the mistakes he would make when playing the Harmonica left to him by his grandfather, Treecko had always sensed this frustration, and in his desire to help, perfected his use of the move Grasswhistle

When melchior turned 11, he announced that was wanted to move back to Kanto to stay with his father, with whom his mother had split when Melchior was 4, but always stayed on good terms with.
His mother agreed, and he said his goodbyes and moved back to Cinibar island to stay with his father.

When Melchior was 13, he decided to begin his pokemon journey, he successfully challenged the Pewter Gym, the Cerulean Gym, and the Vermillion City gym all to success. In fact, the gym leaders had all been completely wiped out by just Melchiors Treecko, and commented on his strength as a trainer. Melchior however, challenged no more gyms.

he now spends all of his time in the orange islands, where he relaxes, and trains with his now evolved Grovyle.

[Pokemon]
Pokemon Partner:
Grovyle

Nickname:
None

Ability:
Overgrow

Nature:
Relaxed

Personality:
Grovyle takes after his trainer melchior, as being very relaxed, and cool.
Grovyle now sees the world the same way as his trainer, a place to never take thigns too seriously, and just enjoy yourself while you can. He can often be seen playing his Grasswhistle along with Melchior's Harmonica (Grovyle may choose wether or not his Grasswhistle puts those that hear it to sleep. He will protect Melchior with his life, and although he has learned to understand and respect Melchiros wish to not battle professionally, there is a small part of Grovyle that has never completely disapeared, longing to battle, and prove itself.

Exceed form:
Exceed will obviously only occur when Grovyle has evolved into Sceptile. But the process will be as follows;
Sceptiles eyes turn snow white, and his green body turns a much darker green, but black urban symbols appear all over it's body. At this point Sceptile immediately shrieks in pain, and it's mind is full of images that it's brain shouldn't be able to comprehend. After this, for the duration of its time in 'Exceed mode' Sceptile has two sights, one being what is currently happening, and the other showing everything that will happen 30 seconds on from that given moment. It's grass type attacks such as Leaf Blade and Bullet Seed glow black, and become Dark type moves with maximized power, and super effective against any type of pokemon except grass, to which it is a standoff.
Aswell as it's power, Sceptile also gains incredible jumping power, being able to leap from tree to tree or any sort of building, miels apart from eachther with ease.
As a final factor, when in it's exceed form, Sceptiles Grasswhistle can be heard by anyone in a 10 mile radius, and all those who hear it (Bar Melchior) immediately fall asleep.

Unleashed form:
In it's unleashed form, Sceptile gives in to it's childhood dreams to battle, and be seen as the most powerful Grass pokemon. It's physical attacks are heightened, although it loses the ability to use Grasswhistle.
While in this form it will pick a fight with any pokemon it sees as a worthy adversary, without accepting commands from melchior. It will fight especially hard when it sees a worthy grass pokemon.

Moves:
Brick Break
Bullet Seed
Double Team
Grasswhistle
Leaf Blade
Leech Seed
Detect
Synthesis
Hidden Power (Psychic)

Unique Attributes:
If is often seen playing it's Grasswhistle to relax.

History:
When he was a young Treecko, he had dreamed of being adopted by a strong and worthy trainer, and to be known as the greatest Grass type battler in the world.
Melchior however had never shown signs of interest as a professional battler, and although this at first slightly frustrated Treecko, he quickly gained respect for Melchior seeing the way he treated grass pokemon, aswell as the kindness he always showed towards Treecko.
Treecko quickly learned to love his trainer, and was very saddened to see his frustration at failing to play his Harmonica, so as a way to help his trainer, Treecko learned ''Grasswhistle'' and played this tune for Melchior which put him to sleep, but when he arose he felt inspired, and since that day has been an expert at playing his instrument.
In the few battles Grovyle has taken part in with his trainer he is extremely loyal and obeying to Melchior's commanbds, even though Melchior had said to him one day, that if he felt an attack different to what commanded was better, then to feel free. This being said Grovyle has never done this, and always done exactly as told, when told. The true mark of respect and loyalty to a trainer.

Okay Baker's Bulbasaur.

Xi is reserved!

 

[wonderstruck]

Hey; this looks really interesting, so I was wondering if I could fill the Omicron? Here's my SU (sorry, it's one monstrous post xD):

[Human]

Name: Avelyn (AY-vuh-lin) Grey; Ave to close friends

Age: 14; turning 15 in a month

Height: 5'6"

Hair: Layered, fairly straight hair the shade of faded caramel that hits about three inches below her shoulder

Clothes: Thin navy blue turtleneck and a scarf with stripes colored black, gray, and white; an ivory peacoat goes over this when the weather becomes too cold. Dark blue skinny jeans and slightly scuffed sneakers complete the look. Dark blue skinny jeans and slightly scuffed sneakers complete the look. Underneath her turtleneck dangles a tiny, gleaming silver feather threaded through a thin chain—a present from her parents for her tenth birthday.

Backpack: Her aforementioned peacoat whenever she isn't wearing it, simple first-aid kit (because she'd probably tangle up anything beyond bandages and a cleansing spray), ten Hyper Potions, five Revives, five Full Restores, 20 Max Repels, ten Full Heals, a cell phone, her iTouch, a wallet with 10,000 Pokedollars, a box of Cheez-its, her notebook and pencil, and the basic survival equipment (thermos and iodine, lightweight sleeping bag, etc).

Personality:

Spoiler:

What's there to say about Avelyn? Actually, there's probably a lot, but she doesn't think that she's terribly fascinating; she describes herself as one of the blander, quieter ones out there, and perhaps rightly so. An aspiring writer who's always had a penchant for scrawling down stories, only one of which she's ever finished, Avelyn's got a fairly dry, biting sense of humor and many (supposedly) witty jokes that, for some reason, only she understands. She's the type of person who has a lot to say—a lot—but sometimes cannot phrase her feelings coherently and/or to her satisfaction, and this is the point when she starts scribbling away in that huge notebook of hers or goes off for a quick jog when she wants to pound those thoughts away.

When meeting strangers for the first time, Avelyn is more often than not a quiet, muted wallflower thanks to her many insecurities, molded from demanding parents and her sister, who has always twinkled much brighter and higher. As such, she's not used to having close friends and secretly longs for a best friend with whom she can do all the generic, trivial "best friend things": braiding each other's hair, slicking nail polish onto the other's nails, whispering the type of secrets best suited for late nights during sleepovers, having a solid support system, etc.

She tends to suppress her emotions because she finds it easier to dam up the river than to let someone freestyle/back-stroke their way in. Although she's sarcastic and is more than capable of delivering some very cutting lines, she's reserved about offending people and often does her best to mollify awkward situations. Avelyn is one of those people who puts off anything connected to responsibility, no matter how thin the strand linking them. She's also a coward, someone who is scared of facing her problems and any anger from an authority figure in her life, and she'll do her best to run away from them until a confrontation is absolutely imminent.

Avelyn has always had an affinity of sorts to birds. One of her dreams is to meet a legendary bird Pokemon someday because she was named indirectly after them (Avelyn means "beautiful bird"). The great silver avian Pokemon Lugia in particular holds a strange, mesmerizing appeal for her, and when she is alone she fantasizes about meeting it one day. Sometimes, she likes to imagine that her silver necklace is really a plume that dropped from one of Lugia's wings, though she chides herself immediately afterward for succumbing to such nonsense.

Mark: Omicron - She can manipulate nature and her surroundings for three minutes, but after using this ability, her touch may repulse any being for ten minutes [er, did I get this right? I'm not sure if I fully understood the downside to Omicron's effect…].

Family:

Spoiler:

As previously mentioned, Avelyn comes from a pretty demanding family. While it's not the most extreme out there, she's been taking piano classes since the age of five and started violin at age seven; she's expected to earn perfect grades and be the top student in each of her classes at the Pokemon Academy; her parents expect her to be a high-paid entrepreneur by the age of twenty. There was a fair amount of pressure on her birth because she was expected to have an IQ higher than that of her sister (165), but instead it turned out to be 135, much to her parents' commonly vocalized disappointment.

Kenneth and Maria Grey moved from Kanto to Johto when Avelyn's older sister, Arissa (uh-RISS-uh), was only two. There they found work in the Pokegear Company and rocketed through the ranks very quickly to become the CEO and COO of said company by the time Arissa was four. Arissa showed interest in the business and the creation of some of the Pokegear's key features, much to her parents' delight. At Avelyn's time of birth, Arissa had already graduated from the Academy at the age of five, was playing four instruments, and could speak five languages fluently. This established an extremely high standard for Avelyn, obviously, who was sort of the black sheep of the family.

When Avelyn could not clear the bar that her family had set for her, it caused strain in her familial relationships. As of now, her parents have pretty much given up on her and turned their attention fully on Arissa, who led the design team in the development of the C-Gear, though they regularly make passing comments regarding Avelyn's disappointing failure—the sort of remark that's not intended to hurt but is thoughtless enough to do so anyway.

Hometown: Avelyn was born and raised in Goldenrod City for the first seven years of her life, though she was sent to Olivine City for her "health" after her seventh birthday. She dwelled there until she turned fourteen and returned to Goldenrod.

Region: Johto

History:

Spoiler:

As a child, Avelyn struggled to meet her parents' expectations of her, which were in short to excel. And to do that, she had to beat out her sister. However, Avelyn could not keep up with all of the pressure to trump and please, and she finally cracked when she was seven, breaking down weeping and throwing a tantrum and dripping snot on the party favors at her birthday party (which practically nobody important in her life attended, seeing as all of the guests were just the children of people from her parents' company desperate to kiss up to the bosses; she didn't even have any friends then).

Her parents then made arrangements to ship her off to her cousin Jasmine in Olivine City, claiming that her health was "very fragile, poor thing; perhaps the fresh sea air might clear up that boggy condition of hers." But it was just done to get little Avelyn, the family embarrassment, out of the way so that they could devote all of their focus on her more talented sister, a fact that was clear to both Jasmine and Avelyn. Jasmine, however, did not let this affect her judgment of her young cousin and instead took up a sort of older-sister/mentor role, a position left vacated by Avelyn's actual sister. Under her guidance, Avelyn slowly blossomed into a more confident girl, and the shadows under her eyes began to disappear, little by little.

Jasmine encouraged her interests, and when Avelyn couldn't think of any, she gave her a journal to write in daily. This journal instead became a leather-bound storybook of sorts, a document chronicled with a plethora of unfinished tales. Like this, Avelyn's interest in writing was piqued and nurtured. She also gained interest in running when Jasmine took her down to watch the sea one day. As they had an impromptu race down the beach, Avelyn quickly overtook Jasmine but kept running even after the latter had stopped, panting for breath and doubling over onto her pale knees. This was the moment when she realized that running helped keep her mind clear, and thus Avelyn became a regular evening jogger who befriended some of the other twilight runners.

Because she was Olivine's Gym Leader, Jasmine made Avelyn go to the Olivine Gym and watch challenges, which she deemed the temporary substitute for Avelyn's previous Academy lessons. Her young cousin didn't mind and even grew to enjoy Pokemon battles until one day, Jasmine finally gave into her incessant pleads and presented her with a Pokemon egg. This later hatched into a Togepi. She was always too scared and wary to become a Pokemon trainer out on the road, though, and enjoyed a comfortable life with Jasmine in Olivine for seven years.

A few days after her fourteenth birthday, Avelyn received a letter from her parents telling her to return to Goldenrod, because they wanted her to start continuing her lessons again. Avelyn didn't break down and sob this time, but she did resist and cry a bit. Two weeks later, she bid goodbye to Jasmine with many teary farewell hugs and biked back to Goldenrod, where she's spent the past year studying the topics that her parents assigned her, writing weekly letters to Jasmine, and hanging out with her Togekiss.

[Pokemon]

Pokemon Partner: Togekiss

Nickname: Eggshell (sometimes shortened to Shelly)

Ability: Serene Grace

Nature: Modest

Personality:

Spoiler:

Eggshell is the type of Pokemon that likes to talk talk talktalktalk, probably because he spends a lot of time with his much quieter trainer. He'll bend your ear off about, well, anything, which is annoying sometimes when you just wish that he'd shut up so you could sleep, and he's almost always radiating this glow of happiness/optimism that can get wearing. Shelly is rare to anger, but he is fiercely protective of Avelyn and so close with her that they can read each other's emotions and understand each other perfectly.

He can be arrogant about his strength since he's had TMs lavished on him since his birth, and this has led to him overestimating himself many a time.

Exceed form:

Spoiler:

Eggshell would double in size, hitting close to ten feet and weighing about 180 pounds. He would become pure silver and attain glowing indigo eyes with heightened peripheral view and clearer, sharper vision—in general all five of his senses are honed to a fine point. When he flaps his wings, trees will shudder and quiver as if submerged in a tornado; his attacks will hit significantly harder (Aura Sphere will destroy the side of a mountain and possibly cause a rockslide. The power of TM moves are doubled and naturally learned moves tripled); and Serene Grace will now quadruple the possibility of a side-effect. In this form, Eggshell is also much colder and harsher: he still senses happiness and good-hearted people, but he no longer avoids strife and instead serves punishment to those whom he deems evil.

Unleashed form: Serene Grace remains quadrupled, but his eyes glow a lighter hue of blue. As in Exceed form, he doles out hard punishment to those not pure of heart.

Moves: Wish, Sky Attack, Extremespeed, Aura Sphere, Air Slash, Flamethrower, Thunderbolt, Solarbeam, Thunder Wave, Reflect, Light Screen, Fly, Defog, Rock Smash

Unique Attributes: He has the ability to sense the good traits of people to whom he is very close, like Avelyn, as he sees past her perceived flaws and insecurities to each of her beneath-the-surface positive qualities.

History:

Spoiler:

Eggshell was a present from Jasmine for Avelyn's tenth birthday. The child of Jasmine's two Togetic, he was a somewhat loud crier as a Togepi, and Avelyn had to devote all of her attention to him for the first week or so. It got better in the second one, however, and soon he was waddling along after her without so much as a squeak as she wandered around Olivine. Shelly soon grew to become her trusted partner, and they even had a few friendly battles with Avelyn's jogger friends, in which he lost at first but then leveled.
Then one day, they were proceeding in their usual 5:30 jog when an aggressive Raticate popped out of the grass and attacked. She tried her best to scare it off, but in the end the Raticate defeated Eggshell and started in on her. Then Eggshell began to glow, and in a few seconds a determined Togetic flew toward the startled Raticate to Headbutt the living daylights out of it until it fled.

This started Avelyn's habit of buying TMs for her friend, who had a brand new array of moves that he could learn. Using the large sum of money from her parents that had been sent with her to Jasmine, she purchased many small discs from department stores and even spent two months at the Game Corner until she had accumulated an impressive supply. This was taught to a delighted and very eager Eggshell. In a similar vein, she scraped enough at the Pokeathlon so that she could afford a Shiny Stone, which she presented to Eggshell. "You can use this when you feel ready," she said and showed him the golden gemstone; however, instead of waiting, he immediately touched it and evolved into a Togekiss. Avelyn was shocked and a little alarmed by his growing recklessness and resolved not to teach him any more new moves.

RP Sample:

Spoiler:

[Scraped together very quickly and def not my best work, but meh. Edited to be more... RP-like. And stuff. 8D]

The sun had begun its gradual descent over the valley, stepping carefully down an invisible marble staircase and dragging its multihued train along. Rosie looked up at the horizon. Indeed, the swirl of vibrant colors was something to behold: bold strokes of sepia, salmon-orange, and red made up the frame, while splotches of Atomic Tangerine and Fuzzy Wuzzy created the thin second layer. A few messy streaks here and there of Razzmic Berry and Ogre Odor, and the thing could be a classic Monet.

Sometimes, Rosie mused wryly, it paid to be the unpaid babysitter of your toddler sister. At least you were familiar with all the individual shades of Crayola and their assigned names, no matter how ridiculous. They were such handy tools to bust out at parties just to liven the mood up.

Because the painting process was moving faster than she expected—the light was already dimming into a dullish Pearly Purple—she turned around. Time to set off for home with Elsie, though the squirt wouldn't like that; Rosie knew that she could expect pudgy fists leaving apple-sized dents in her back and insistent screams slicing through her ears the whole way home. Fun stuff.

When she flicked her eyes away from the morphing skies, though, she noticed that Elsie wasn't sitting where Rosie had left her a few minutes ago. She's probably just hiding behind some hills or something, or maybe she went off to, like, inspect a butterfly, rationalized Rosie. Just in case, she raised her voice and called, "Elsieeee, it's time to go home. Come on. I'm tired and hungry, and I want some gummy worms in my stomach pronto. Let's go."

But when Elsie didn't respond, Rosie felt worry begin to gnaw at her stomach. That wasn't like her baby sister: the clumsy three-year-old always had something to shoot back snappily, and if she wasn't replying… Rosie scrambled down the hill and hurtled back and forth around the field but to no avail. "Elsie!" she screamed, seriously panicking now.

Oh sweet heavens. Her little sister had somehow disappeared.

...Well, this was going to put a serious dent in her next paycheck.

 

[Venomire]

An extremely interesting idea.
Name: Sylvester "Shinobi" Blake
Age: 15
Height: 5,5 ft
Hair: Silky smooth black, very short as to not get in his eyes, and always kept in a combover right-to-left.
Clothes:
Shinobi wears black, practically weightless clothes called Shozoku- fromt he feet up, he wears special shoes with split toes, to encourage light stepping, and a pair of silken socks. He wears trousers with souble ties, fastening at the ankles, knees and the waist, to prevent them being loose and getting caught on something. He wears a black Jacket with overlapping lapels, and sleeves that cover the arm. He has a pair of fingerless "lockpickers" gloves. This is all made of cotton for easy freedom of movement, and is all black, for
less-than-honourable reasons. When he is engaging in said activities, he wears a black balaclava and hood.

Backpack: He carries with him a reliable trio of Shuriken, mostly ceremonial but still very sharp, and a few potions, revives and full-heals. he also carries camping equipment and a first aid-kit, for those emergencies.

Personality:
Silent, solitary and sad-looking, the young Sylvester has earned the nick-name of Shinobi amongst his peers, and thus everyone calls him so. He even introduces himself as Shinobi, so it's become more of a real name than "Sylvester" ever was. He doesn't really talk to people unless necessary, and many find him quite rude- others simply find him scary and unnerving, and with good reason- he is a born thief, spy and general clandestine fellow, and he prefers to keep to himself and his horde.

What he really wants is to be left alone. He doesn't like people, because they're untrustworthy, as he himself knows from experience; he has very few morals, and has had years of training in ninjitsu, and so is an excellent and willing thief. He is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a "good person". He doesn't offer charity or generosity and he doesn't make friends, and he finds any notion of kindness a weakness that can be exploited.

Highly intelligent and creative, he values lies and deception over strength and persuasion. He is very sarcastic and witty, and is practically unable to stop himself cracking a comment about something the person he's talking to says which is even mildly amusing. He feels that the very best way to get over being sad, angry or irritated is to get your own back- and he excels in this task. Far from a coward but nothing near a hero, Shinobi prefers the phrase "Live to fight another day" Than "Until the end". He will take a risk if he's calculated that it's worth it, and he's usually right.

Despite his every man for himself philosophy, Shinobi does have a sense- very, VERY deep down- of duty to humanity as awhole. Sort of his way of saying "Sorry for stealing your stuff. I'll pay you back sometime." And if he is called upon to do a task that is seemingly impossible and dangerous, then who is he to say no?
Mark:
Zeta - The Third Mark. The user can disintegrate into physically nothing but have their mind intact. It wears off after 10 minutes. The user becomes depressed for a brief time period.

Family:
A family of criminals and justice enforcers, quite ironcically. His father was a paid assassin, and he took a fair amount of interest in Shinobi's future, shaping his current personality, a mother who was a policewoman entirely unaware of her husbands occupation, which Shinobi found amusing, and a sister who was a little angel, which Adam took as a blessing- kind, gentle, beautiful, and stupid, she was a prime target.

Hometown: Mahogany Town
Region: Johto
History:
Living in the small Mahogany Town for all of his life and never really seeing the world, Shinobi always took pleasure in his time with himself. He had a good relationship with his father, who advocated the part of his life that involved theft, espionage and revenge, whilst he felt that his dear mother was far too pious to be a good influence. He never really got on with people, partly because of his strange clothes, and partly because of his strange personality. In the end, he decided to become a recluse.

His family was murdered- presumably by his father's assassination cell- when he was five, and he went into the care of that same cell, who trained him in ninjitsu and provided him with an education. He loved every second of it- in his mind, it hadn't killed him, and he was given a shiny new lease on life. When he was unleashed upon the puiblic at the age of ten, he proved to be a very promising new recruit, and thus was given even more training.

In more recent times, he's become less moral and less conscientous about things, he was angry wtih people in general abd so felt that they owed him, and if he had to take it, well, so be it. So a spate of crimes were never linked to him, and when he was finally caught, he ran from Mahogany town with his Cell's blessing and a full pack of equipment. He eschews armed combat, as the very possession of arms makes him a criminal, so he trains himself to be a living weapon, and he is getting close to perfection. He didn't leavee his favourite Shuriken, however. It was then that his cell sent an unlikely partner to aid him- a Weavile, which he found to be an excellent partner, and at times, a friend. He would never admit that this Weavile was his friend, however.

[Pokemon]
Pokemon Partner: Weavile
Nickname: Ninja
Ability: Bad Habit
Nature: Adamant
Personality:
Essentially the personality of a thief, Ninja is as his partner-in-crime Shinobi, is; moralless, logical and cold as ice. The two are reasonably close, although neither would admit it, and Ninja finds a certain thrill int he hunt, the cahse or the scam- he is by any account a true thief, after his owners own heart, which is a source of their closeness. He's smart and fast, and finds a certain delight in civil attitude.

Exceed form: In Exceed form, Ninja becomes fast as light and pracitcally impossible to see. His claws grow longer and his entire body becomes black-although it is seen as just a blur in the daylight. The simple touch of Ninja whilst he is in this form makes one's blood run cold- or begin spilling, either way, and can literally freeze a person in their place. He exudes an aura of primal fear, like a prey being hunted, and is the perfect hunter.

Unleashed form: Ninja becomes a wild, hunting animal, eager for the hunt and blood. He is stronegr and faster than normal, but loses his quick wit and fast reaction, instead becoming a hulking killer rather than a silky hunter.

Moves:
Night Slash
Slash
Ice Shard
Revenge
Metal Claw


Unique Attributes: He has a scar about 1cm long above and below his left eye from where he fought a rival Sneasel, and he can whisper literal fear into an enemy's ear.
History:
Born a Sneasel in Silver mountain, he soon learnt that it was the strongest that survive. And so he took his own unique little spin on this ethic- becoming a cunning, villainous mastermind who controlled the Sneasel through the use of a mafia and blackmail, theft, and other cruel acts. Despite the evils he committed, he did bring the Sneasal clans together into one faction, and he was the sole leader. When he found a razor claw, he couldn't take his eyes off it, and insisted on carrying it all day, until nightfall, when he evolved into a Weavile, further asserting his dominance over the others.

He was shortly thereafter captured by Shinobi's assassin cell, and given direct instructions to find him. he was, however, unloyal to these people, and so when they released him with his Pokeball and a tracking system for Shinobi, he planned to run. However, they had released him somewhere he was totally unfamiliar with. Feelign a pang of fear and loneliness, he decided to find Shinobi and maybe find a new pack- or a new friend.

When he did finally find Shinobi, they got on like a house on fire, i.e, badly. Shinobi thoguht he wa sbeing attacked, and Ninja thoguht he found the wrong person. Launching into unarmed combat with each other, and coming to a stalemate (Ninja insists that he was being gentle), they decided to actually find out a little bit about each other, and it was to each others tremendous surprise that they both somehow understood each other. They then apologized for the incident and continued on to Shinobi's next place of visit- i.e, wherever he felt like. Then that strange incident happened...

Is that all ok? Sorry it's a leviathan read.

 

[alisaie]

I'm going to go ahead and ask if I can reserve Alpha? I want to take the time to write out my sign-up (it's been a loooong time), but I want to make sure that I have a spot when I'm finished.

 

[Sewaddle]

Also gonna ask if I can reserve Stigma? /because I totally did not notice Upsilon was reserved sob

Also, I totally thought of Happy, Charle, and Lily upon seeing Exceed. I'm sorry, I really can't help it.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Hmm...since it seems this will live another day, I guess those marks are reserved. Though I do ask you get in it within 3 days.
