Pokemon Mystery Dungeon - Guardians of Sin and Virtue OOC/Sign Up

[MichaelDj54]

Hello all and welcome to my first RP/OOC/SIgn up thread on the site. I've been in a huge Pokemon Mystery Dungeon kick lately and figured I would at least try my hand at it, despite the fact there's a longer, and likely better one (Explorers of Justice and Corruption), but I wanted to try my hand at it. Here's how things will play out.

Plot:​

Not much happens in the little village of Helmtown, outside of the occasional random Pokemon Encounter. That's because of the Rescue Teams that live there, with their help they manage to keep Helmtown safe enough for the occupants.

Lately, however, this doesn't seem to be the case.

The wild Pokemon living in the mountains and the forest have been acting out of turn lately. They've grown violent, blood thirsty and even more dangerous than before. Worst of all, people don't know why.

The Legendaries have been acting strange as well, ranging from paranoid to dangerous.

A strange figure has been seen around the town lately, and yet strikes no one, not even touching them. Could he have something to do with it?

It's up to the Pokemon Rescue Teams of Helmtown to not only find out the answers behind this mystery, but also possibly save the world at the same time.

RULES:​

1. PLEASE, and I cannot stress this enough, NO GODMODDING. No dodging EVERY SINGLE ATTACK sent at you, no gurenteed hits, no controlling other characters. I cannot stress that enough, it's a massive pet peeve for me.
2. No excessive swearing, I want everyone involved to be as comfortable with this as possible.
3. No flaming.
4. Try to make your post at least a paragraph in length.

Other Stuff:​

I want people to have as much freedom as possible with this. You don't have to go "X used Y, it's super effective". Use your imagination, jump, leap, exclaim, use your moves creatively, use the environment around you. This is as free as I can make it, and I want people to use their imagination to the best of their abilities.

Also, for now we won't immediately jump into the Plot, we're gonna have some quick Missions to have everyone get into the groove of the whole thing. Everyone WILL be affiliated with the plot, I swear.

Character Application​

Name: You don't have to name it the Pokemon, you can be as creative as you want.
Species: What Species is your Pokemon? (NOTE: You can be ANY Pokemon from Gen 1-5, but no Legendaries or full Evolutions. There will be an opportunity to evolve as we carry on though)
Appearance: Anything out of the norm for your character?
Member of: (First 7 people, not counting myself, will be the leader of their created teams. People joining afterwards will pick one of the currently existing teams)
Moves: Max of 4, please)
Personality: What make your character unique? Does he act a certain way?
History: Try to give them a history, something unique that can show what your characters been through.
Strengths: What are their stronger parts…
Weakness: And what's weak about them?
Aspirations: What does your Pokemon hope to accomplish as a member of being a Rescue Team?

For example, my character(s)

Name: Jose
Species: Alakazam
Appearance: A few major differences are the fact he's covered in scratches and battle scars, along with one of his head horns having been cut off.
Member of: Not a member of a rescue team, but a Guild Leader.
Moves: Doesn't really use his moves, but his known moves are Teleport, Kinesis and Psychic.
Personality: He's thick headed and brash, he's stubborn and he won't take no for an answer. He does however have a nice streak to himself, as he does it just to show he cares for his Rescue Teams.
History: Little is known about Jose, though the occasional whisper is he was a part of a Rescue Team that didn't end well in it's last mission.
Strengths: His psychic prowess is almost unmatched, and knows exactly where every Rescue Team is located, in addition to giving them some back up.
Weakness: his attitude is a massive weakness, as he has a short fuse and loses control of his psychic when that happens. Let's just say the leader of Team Blaze didn't wake up for near a weak after his last freak out…Not to mention he has some intense PTD.
Aspiration: "I just want my Rescue Teams to come back safe…"

Now my RP and Rescue team Character.

Name: Kenshin
Species: Futachimaru
Appearance: An impressive sized gash going down the right side of his face from the top of his head down to his chin and over his eye, causing some discoloration of his eye.
Member of: Team Honour
Moves: Shell Blade, Water Gun, Revenge, Water Pulse
Personality: Head strong and extremely brave, is always willing to charge head first into a fight, regardless if he can win or not. Aside from his team mates, he believes his Honor is the most important thing to defend.
History: Ever since he was a Mijumaru, he had been over shadowed and looked up to his father, a well known Daikenki of his village. Since a child, he's wanted to live up to his fathers expectations, but during an attack on the village, his father was defeated and killed, and as the last line of defense was defeated easily and thrown from the village. Since then, he's trained harder than ever before, promising his village and father he wouldn't let a repeat of this disaster happen.
Strengths: Since he battles near everyone, he learns new battle strategies each time.
Weaknesses: Since he battles near everyone, he tends to lose a lot, ranging from minor injuries to near life threatening injuries.
Aspiration: "I want to protect everyone I can! No innocent shall again fall with me around! This I swear!"

Teams​

Team Honour: Kenshin (MichaelDj54) Oink (King!)
Team Edge: Kenta (~Wind~) Lani (Candy Christina)
Team Titanium: Koori (Dragonqueen0210) Tint (Vamaar)
Team Astral: Walt (BlueGallade) Clair (ComiTurtle)
Team Moonlit Warriors: Lithephion (DarkPokeball) Tria (Charichu)
Team Shadowfire: Flair (BlazeSaga) Ataugu (Dragonite419)
Team Dragon-Blade: Flame (Akatsuki Kisame) Charly (mzmingle)

 

[~Wind~]

This looks fun, and i can't join the other pmd rp 'cus sign-ups are closed. D:
Can I also be an Oshawott/Futachimaru?
Otherwise I'll be a Komatana.

Name: Kenta
Species: Komatana
Appearance: Colouring of a kirikizan, carries a stylised sword. slightly small.
Member of: Team Edge
Moves: Faint attack, Scratch, Psycho cut (egg move), Fury cutter.
Personality: Kenta is usually very joyfull and happy, but can be very serious at times and when needed, and is relatively quick to anger if provoked in certain ways.
Overall is quite a good leader, if not perfect.
History: Kenta grew up in with his father, a Kirikizan, and mother, an Kojondo in a small house in the south of town.
He took frequent trips to the dojo to train his best move, Psycho cut.
On his 11th birthday, his father gave his a sword, designed to increase the power of sword based moves by 20%.
He was sometimes picked on in school due to his small size.
One time he was annoyed and used Psycho cut on another student, getting him a 3 day suspension.
Recently his friend, a sableye, was injured by one of the plains pokemon, sableye was hospitalized for a week.
This inspired Kenta to start a rescue team, so he went to the guild master, Jose to sign up.
Strengths: Good at sword fighting and has the egg move Psycho cut.
Weakness: Unfortunately, Kenta is a bit on the small side, meaning he is at a disadvantage if not using his sword.
Aspirations: "I want to protect my friends, and maybe, eventually, all pokemon of this world!"

 

[MichaelDj54]

Hooray! People are joining!

:D

Also, accepted. However, Pokemon wise i'm thinking Komatana, if that's okay. ^^

 

[~Wind~]

No Futa? T~T
But that's ok if it's a problem, it just kinda worked better and made more sense with futachimaru.
So, should I edit my sign-up or something?

 

[Vamaar]

Hmm, I think for your character Komatana works better and is a lot cooler anyways, especially because Daikenki would be incredibly awkward with a sword...

Anyways, I've never played any mystery dungeon games, so I don't really want to be a leader of a team at all (especially given what I have in mind for a character) but is it vital to know how the games play to RP them? If not, then here's my application.

Name: Tint
Species: Natu
Appearance: Even smaller than the average natu, with a shorter beak.
Member of: Team Titanium
Moves: Teleport, Light Screen, Reflect, Wish
Personality: Tint is a very quiet and discreet pokemon, one who keeps to himself. A lot of pokemon consider him a loner, and unobservant pokemon focused on brute strength find him to be a useless waste of space. He does not offer any of his abilities either, instead applying them as he feels necessary. He is loyal to his allies and will not abandon them, due to his unspoken desire to not be abandoned.
History: From the beginning of his life he was the smallest of his siblings and growing up, he was often picked on because of his small stature and weak peck attack. His father, a well-respected Xatu, saw this and taught him Light Screen and Reflect in place of his conventional attacks, promising his son that the ability to defend was more valuable than the ability to attack. Along with that he promised that one day other pokemon would value him for it. In the short term he used it to defend against the bullies that assailed him, but he always wished for a powerful attack, a way that he could strike back at them. He decided to wait until he was a Xatu before gaining one in honour and trust of his father. Until that time, he is reliant on all his defensive tactics. Even now, as he joins a team, his father's words echo in his ears.

"You will be valued for you can do what others cannot..."

Strengths: Although he's quiet and never volunteers, if something attacks his team he wastes no time setting up defenses and healing abilities. If things get rough, he won't teleport out without his allies. Because he focused on defense, he's better at taking hits and dodging than the average natu, and his small size further helps him. He can also use teleport as an unconventional form of attack (i.e. teleporting large rocks above opponents, teleporting fire opponents into water, etc)
Weakness: He has no conventional form of attack whatsoever.
Aspirations: He doesn't know yet, as a new recruit he doesn't understand what they truly do or why, or why they're important. He just knows his father said he would be well suited to it.

So, thoughts?

 

[~Wind~]

If it was Futa, I wasn't gonna evolve him anyway, he's just too awesome, but anyway, I'm just waiting for MichealDj's reply.
(BTW, did you know Daikenki can actually stand on two legs?)

 

[Vamaar]

Ah, fair enough I had no idea that Daikenki could stand on two legs... Then again, I don't know much about fifth gen, not having played it or watched the new episodes. I've just looked at the pokemon and mentally assigned which ones I would want on a team for sheer coolness factor...

 

[MichaelDj54]

Setta IS accepted, and yes if you would be kind enough to change it to a Kota? I apologize for the lack of Futa. (lol)

Tint is accepted, I'll add him once we get the other leaders in.

SIGN-UP

PMD is awesome, so a Rp on it would be awesome too.

Name: Koori
Species: Prinplup
Appearance: A slightly lighter blue, sort of snowy looking.
Member of: Team Titanium
Moves: Aerial Ace, Ice Beam, Metal Claw (and later Steel wing), Surf.

Personality: Despite that she is a female, Koori has always been arrogant and argued often with the males of her colony, even before her father disappeared. She is sarcastic, quick to anger and is proud of her strength. However, she is extremely loyal to anyone who can earn her trust.

History: Koori was born far away from Helmtown, in the icy regions of the Pokemon world. Her colony of Piplup, Prinplup and Empoleon resided on Blizzard island, isolated and away from other Pokemon. They lived happily until her father went out to search for food one day, and never come back. Her mother had assumed him dead. Without an Empoleon in their family, she and her mother had to scavenge off the leftovers with the other Prinplups and Piplups.

Furious at her sudden change of luck, Koori made a sudden, spur-of the moment decision, and fought with one of the weaker and newly evolved Empoleons, getting injured, but evolving in the process. It was customary in the colony that males were the only ones allowed to evolve into Empoleons, and thus could shatter the walls of ice bergs that surrounded the island to get food.

Koori didn't believe it fair, and so refused to wear the Everstone that every female Prinplup had to wear. The elder Empoleon cast her out of the colony, dumping her on the mainland. She wandered through forests in a daze, being far from her natural environment. After what seemed like months, or perhaps it was more, Koori landed herself in Helmtown. She quickly adapted to the town, and gained a new resolve. She joined a rescue team hoping to see the world, train and evolve, and one day return to her colony, to open their eyes to the ways other Pokemon lived in.

Strengths: She is a natural fighter and strategist, knowing how to use the best of her and anyone's abilities.
Weakness: Koori's weakness would be her arrogance, and her refusal to listen to anyone, until it smacks her in the face.
Aspirations: "It's us against the world."

Hope this is okay.

 

[BlueGallade]

Name: Walt

Species: Ralts

Appearance: Walt has hetrochromia {Different colored eyes} Blue and Red. Walt is also constantly floating due to his strong psychic power.

Member of: Team Astral { or another team if you need me to join one}

Moves: Psycho Shock, Telekinesis{Always active}, Calm Mind, Psychic.

Personality: Walt is very selfless, caring about other's needs rather than his own, he is ready to sacrifice himself for others. He enjoys being around friends when they are happy and is usually the one to cheer them up when they are down.

History: Every one hundred years in Walt's village a Ralts is born with enhanced psychic ability and hetrochromia, Walt just happened to be is this Ralts. All throughout his life he was pampered and worshipped as some sort of idol, but Walt didn't let this get to his head. Walt had spent his entire life in a temple as pilgrims from across the world visited him in hope of receving some sort of blessing.

Walt soon grew tired but knew he had to do this to keep his village's faith alive. With so many travellers arriving at Walt's village news spread fast of the events unfolding throught the world, Walt feeling now was the time for action pleaded the village elders to allow him to help in some way, but they just told him to keep giving words of wisdom to the pilgrims.

Walt could'nt sit down and do nothing so he ran from his village in secret, with hopes of starting a rescue team in Helmtown......

Strengths: Walt has strong psychic power and can utilize it well. He is also calm and is able to analyse situations quickly.

Weakness: Walt is too trusting, he cares for others that he may be used by the wrong people. If an ally is in danger Walt will risk everything to save them, putting himself in harms way.

Aspirations: Walt wants to help others not through words but through actions, he believes that sometimes action is the best answer.

 

[~Wind~]

Ok, edited, I also changed him name to Kenta, which I think is more fitting, as ken is japanese for sword.
(lol Swordta...)

 

[darkpokeball]

:P

Name: Litephion
Species: Pichu!!!
Appearance: I am a small Pichu with two black tipped ears and a cute face. However, on my chest is a big "P." I was born with it, and forced out of my home village for it was supposed to represent the sign of corruption and evil. I do find I have..er...strange powers, but I swore to use them for good. However, the more I use them, the more strange thoughts come into my head about betrayal.
Member of: (WOOT! 5th member! I become a leader!) I lead "Moonlit Warriors."
Moves: "Thundershock" "Tackle" "Perilous Corruption" [No 4th move to start with]
Personality: My character hides his inner emotions, which are twisted due to having his own parents reject him. He tries to fit into the society, but makes an occasional blunder in what he says. However, he has a good heart...at least until he over-uses his 'gift/curse.'
History: Forced out of his village due to his 'curse' he has been twisted and warped. He tries to recover from the emotional tragedy and tries to act as if he never even had a village. Socially strange, he feels odd about...well...everything.
Strengths: Electric Field, Dark Magics.
Weakness: Physical Field, Corruption Resistance.
Aspirations: My Pichu hopes to give justice to others and earn back the respect of his village, despite his gift/curse.

 

[MichaelDj54]

Oooooh, quite a selection of Team Leaders. I like them all.

All are accepted. I'll go and add the Teams, Members, Who they're being played as, and Team names in the OP.

 

[Blazesaga]

Name: Flair (nicknamed icefire for the blue flame on his tail)
Gender: Male
Species: Charmander
Age: 17 (important to build his personality)
Appearance: Looks like a regular charmander at first glance, however as previously mentioned the tip of his tail is an odd icy blue type color instead of the traditional red. Some say it's a good omen, others say it's because he's just plain lucky. He also wears a light red scarf around his neck. (he often complains that it's too cold in the room)
Member of: Team Shadowfire (yes 6th post barely made it ^_^)
Moves: Scratch, Ember, Growl, Flamethrower
Personality: Flair is always cheerful and enjoys his job as a rescue team leader. He loves it when others join his team. He also loves kids younger than him. He is often seen playing with them out in the town. While Flair is cheerful he is also kind of childish. He teases the older leaders and jokes around, and sometimes he doesn't take things seriously. Also even though he plays the practical joke on them every once in a while he tends to be more shy around adults. Some say it's because he took on the job way too early in life.
History: Flair was born with a Blue flame instead of the regular orange or red. Sometimes people casted him away because of it. But sometimes they said it could be a good omen or a signal of luck. That is one thig that Flair is very well known for. He is extremely lucky. He often wins his battles because of a faulty attack rather than stratagy. Also he got his rescue leader job because of dum luck. When the leader of Team Shadowfire retired to start a new life, Flair was the default choice because he was usualy the one who actually completed or even took on jobs! It took him surprize when he first got the job but now he takes pride in it.
Strengths: Because of his personality he has many friends that are younger than him. The occasional joke or prank and just him being there lifts everyones spirits.
Weakness: Since he is a little childish it doesn't really score him any points with the adults. Also because of him being young his moves aren't all that strong. He is also afraid of water and can't swim
Aspirations: His favorite quote: "Never give up, even if it seems that your going to lose"

 

[Akatsuki Kisame]

Team Dragon-Blade

Name: Flame
Species: Gible
Appearance: Cute and cuddly, yet obvioulsy well treated because of my round stomach.
Member of: (My Team) Dragon-Blade
Moves: Chomp, Scratch, Flamethrower, Ice Beam
Personality: Brave and courageous for my kind. Sometimes a bit too reckless though. I am kind, but to who I dislike, I will go to the end of the world to defeat. I have many friends and am known for my sense of humor.
History: When I was a child, my mother was killed in front of my eyes. I tried to fight back, but because of my stubby legs, I couldn't move. I was raised with my neighbors, the kindest people I know. No one will ever tell me how I earned this scar on the left side of my cheek. It is shaped like one of my fins. I hope it is a good sign, because whenever people look upon it, they either gasp in horror, or bow down to me. My "family" thinks they are all making fun of me, but I think something is wrong with it. And until I find out what, I dont think I can ever sleep easy.

Strengths: I am a very good swimmer, and many say that if they had to choose between a flamethrower and me, I would beat 15 of them.
Weakness: I am a terrible flyer, and I am very uncomfortable in any heated place. Aspirations: To help bring justice, and to make sure what happened to my family does not happen to yours.

 

[BlueGallade]

I hope more people join, can't wait to start ^_^
And it looks like we have the 7 teams, woo

 

[Vamaar]

Yeah, what's the starting number, anyways? How many until we start? Also assuming all of those teams make it, I have to figure out what team suits Tint best. I think I want Tint on a team where he won't be initially appreciated, because it'll make for good character growth on all sides, and it should be a team with an aggressive leader... I dunno how it's planned to figure out who goes where, but I think the best options for him as a character are either Koori or Flair, Koori because her aggressive style is at ends with his defensive, unobtrusive personality, and Flair because it would be really damn funny if he never realized what Tint was doing in battle, and thought Tint was useless and that he was incredibly lucky. How is that going to work, anyways?

 

[dragonqueen0210]

Tint and Koori. That would certainly be an interesting relationship. I can already imagine what would happen. XD
On another topic, since each team would normally have about 2-3 members (including the leader), if you you go according to the games and there are 7 leaders already, we'd need about...7-12 more people to sign up?
Something like that. From experience, I usually find the less people sign up, the easier it is to manage. It gets really messy once a lot of people sign up. Although that's just my opinion.

 

[anugrah6]

[MichaelDj54]

Mmkay, Flame and Flair are accepted. Anugrah, I dunno, something about yours that needs a bit more. Perhaps something more of a weakness than "Weakened if betrayed". Something else with your history as well, it just feels...meh.

And yeah, for now I think I'm gonna limit the teams right now to 2 per team, anone who wants to join later you can, we'll find a way.
