Reality Check: Bringing Pokémon Into Reality

[Jaxsem]

Reality Check: Bringing Pokémon Into Reality
(Rated "PG-15" for Violence (Warfare, Gangs, etc.), Some Strong Language - you just can't sugar-coat reality...)

Section I: Plotline

Imagine, if you will, waking up one morning. It's a normal day wherever you are, be it Moscow, Washington, London, Sydney, or wherever else you may live. The sun is out, clouds streak across the sky... but you want to wake up a bit yet, so you grab some breakfast and turn on the television. The specialty channels are all business-as-usual, but the news networks catch your attention somehow...

~shhztt~
"Reports are coming in from all across the Mid-Atlantic states, all describing multiple rolling blackouts. Accompanying them are what appear to be many floating metallic masses, resembling steel balls with protruding screws and horseshoe magnets. Hundreds of witnesses thus far have all reported seeing these strange things, and it is likely a full investigation will be conducted by the Department of Energy-"
~shhztt~
"The English Channel now seems to be home to a very peculiar type of goldfish, according to one local fisherman. The specimen he managed to reel in is about two to three times larger than the average human hand, and appears to have a more elegant figure than its smaller cousin. Scientists at Cambridge will be studying this new fish in an attempt to ascertain exactly what it is and where it came from-"
~shhztt~
"'We are not conducting genetic experiments on animals, nor are we attempting to force their evolution. To do so would be completely inhumane, and to insinuate such is ludicrous!' Those were the words of Army Medical Corps Gen. Douglas Reynolds, spoken shortly before the videotaped press conference encountered an entity that seemed to teleport wildly around the hall-"
~shhztt~
"An official statement from the Japanese government indicates that a research team from Tokyo has managed to isolate an abnormally large bird strongly resembling descriptions of the mythical phoenix, yet shortly after it was contained, it was able to break free and escape all detection. All attempts to radio-tag the bird failed, as they disintegrated before even making contact with its body-"
~shhztttttt~

If you actually saw these reports coming over CNN or SKY News, what would you think was going on? The end of the world, maybe? Or perhaps the start of a new one?

Welcome to Reality Check, a real-world implementation of the concept of Pokémon. The people and places are real, and current events are all real with slight alteration to account for the existence of Pokémon. The only fiction is your character and the Pokémon of the world, plus any NPCs created for the sole purpose of this RPG. So come on in, establish yourself in the world. Set it straight or push it into a downward spiral. The choice is yours.

Section II: Character Sheet



For your character sheets, you'll need to go into as much detail as possible. Certainly, there are some fields that will only have a one-word or one-line item, but for those centering around your personality, appearance and occupation, you'll need to be as specific as you can be.

• Your Name
• Character Age/Birthday
• Location (City, State/Province, Country)
• Appearance (DETAILS!)
• Personality (Again, DETAILS!)
• Other Items of Note (Pieces of information such as what first clued you into events, what sort of Pokémon you first encountered, etc. - be reasonable! If something doesn't fit into a particular category but still needs to be mentioned, feel free to put it here. If you don't have anything to include in this field, go ahead and omit it.)

Pokémon Parties will be picked up as you go through the RP. Again, be reasonable, but remember that in this world, Pokéballs do not exist - that said, not all of you will be out to "catch 'em all." You'll need to use other methods of convincing them to join you in your quest.

• Species (its actual name)
• Nickname (if applicable)
• Nature (Akin to your character's Personality)
• Where'd You Meet? (Keep this reasonable; no Geodudes found in the middle of the ocean or anything)
• Any Other Information (Same as the similar field from your character's description. Use as necessary.)

Movelists will be reasonably inferred based on Pokémon elements, body type, and other influencing characteristics. Parties are not restricted in size, but local law enforcement and/or military forces may, at the very least, look more closely at people with a multitude of Pokémon in their group.

And, if you ever have any doubt, feel free to ask a GM or a seasoned player. We're here to help, and above all else, have fun!

Section III: Policy and Rules

When posting in one of the roleplay's story threads, use the following format, in addition to the Rules-dictated paragraph system:

Bold - Your current location in terms of city, state/province, and/or country. (Ex: Washington, DC, United States)
Italic - Further detailing of your location, in terms of landmarks and such. You can utilize tools such as Google Maps to help in this. Also use this to note down air/sea travel, while still indicating a land-based or sea-based landmark that can be referenced. (Ex: Washington Monument, Reflecting Pool)

Your actual roleplaying post will follow two lines under the landmark detailing. Again, observe the paragraph rule as written in the forum rules.

This will be very straightforward: you will receive one warning for violating the Pokécommunity Roleplay Rules. If you continue to violate the rules, you will be reported and your character will be removed from the story in a manner that does not disrupt the flow of the roleplay. If, however, you are making a serious effort to correct any deficiencies, we may be lenient, to a degree. Do not mistake this for naivete.

(Note for the Mods: This is designed to be a largely multi-thread roleplay, and will require a lot of organization. Likelihood is that this will become the primary thread for North America, and the OOC/Roleplay Rules/Joining content will be moved to a thread in the Lounge, along with links to all relevant and active threads. If further changes need to be made, feel free to advise me via PM.)

[GlameowBoy91]

Your Name: Johan Lindh
Character´s Age/Birthday: September 9th, 1991 (17 yo.)
Location: Finland/Konstu
Appearance: Johan is very colourful personality who doesn´t hesitate to show it up and he often does it trough his clothes. His favorite clothes are a non-sleeved gray t-shirt that has an orange coloured cross in it and dark orange coloured tight jeans. Sometimes he wears also a jacket and a scarf but he never wear anykind of hat as it would ruin his hair style. His hair are grass green and he loves to dye his hair depending on the time of the year. As he is a dancer and model he often changes his hair style but mostly he likes to have a tuft of hair on his head that point up a bit and others always likes to joke aboyt it which makes Johan very angry.
Personality: Johan is into fashion and and dancing as he is in fit and he´s got eye for mode and he is also very good at drawing and in many other school subjects as he is studying in the High School of Lauritsala and has just started out the second year. He is very kind and he respect older people but he also has the rebellion side that doesn´t come out that much as he is a bit shy around not-that-familiar people. He loves to joke and he has only few friends who to hang around with but he doesn´t feel himself lonely at least not in the school. He has the dark and ambitious side that lurks inside him and Johan is usually afraid to show it to others but sometimes it comes out naturally.

Species: Glameow (female)
Nickname: Nyarma
Nature: Timid
Where'd You Meet?: Johan would meet Nyarma for the first time in his life when he would be walking at the closest bus stop on his way to school when he would see Nyarma lying on the grass and carry it at his home into his room. Johan would take care of it and give it a proper home where to rest as it clearly wasn´t fine and laterwards Nyarma would join Johan as it would be very graceful. Johan´s parents would accept it as a part of the family and build it a house where it could train and gain its powers back and where it would be able to play without breaking anything important.

Species: Eevee (male)
Nickname: -
Nature: Relaxed
Where'd You Meet?: Johan would meet Eevee near in the forest where he likes to walk everyday as it would be beaten by some other pokémons and rescued by Johan. It doesn´t care that much of training or practising like Nyarma would as it considers itself to be enough strong to beat anyone or anything. Normally Johan would take it with himself into school too as it would be enough small and would fit in his bag just fine.

Any Other Information: Johan has lived all his life in Finland and he loves the nature and the four seasons of Finland but he also wants to travel around the world. His two big brothers and three big sisters live all around Finland but he still lives in the house of his parents with his little brother and two cats as their pets. His parents doesn´t hang around the house that often as they work almost 16 hours in a day and they doesn´t have time for their children.

Say if I have to improve some parts in my sign-up... :D

 

[Zimvee]

this seems intresting but im confused on how we obtain pokemon. Do we start with one or two or will we get them later in the RP? And if we do start with pokemon how many can we have?

 

[Slave to the Poké-Rave]

Seems interesting, but I dont think we shuld start with pokemon, as they are supposed to only be appearing now. More a story of our characters meeting and befriending them.

 

[Zeta Sukuna]

Character Age/Birthday: March 11, 1990(19 yrs old.)
Location: Phoenix, AZ

Appearance: Being a High School grad looking for work, he makes himself look more professional. His hair is a dark brown and is a little wavy, and his eyes are a light shade of blue. His skin tone is a light tan from living in Phoenix and always being outside. He wears a long tan shirt with the word 'lost' on it. His pants are a light tan and reach down to the laces of his shoes.

Personality: Chris is kind of adventurous and wants a career that involves travel, but since he doesn't have enough money to go to college, so he travels the country to look for work, and doesn't really mind it, as long as he holds enough money to travel. Chris hates the kind of person that puts down on other people because of social status, or race. In reguards to beliefs, he isn't sure if there is a God or not, but he really doesn't care. Chris also hates his brother since he thinks that Akira, and Trapinch are demons that should be destroyed... and for accidentally killing his dog when they were seven. (Chris's brother was scarred for life)

Other Items of Note: Chris found out about this whole phonomonon by saving Mudkip at Lake Mead. Also, Chris has played the first generation of Pokemon.


Species: Mudkip
Nickname: Akira
Nature: Bold

Where'd You Meet: On a trip to Las Vegas, Chris found Mudkip near Lake Mead getting beaten up by a couple of kids of around 14 years of age. So, feeling sorry for the creature Chris helped it out and lectured the kids, and when that didn't work he grabbed the Mudkip and drove off. After restoring it to full health, Chris let the Mudkip go, but the pokemon didn't want to leave, so he stayed with Chris and kept him company as they went back to Phoenix.

Any Other Information: Akira doesn't like very many kids because of the two punks that beat it until it nearly died. Chris's brother tried to burn Akira at one time... but it obviously didn't work.


Species: Trapinch
Nickname: N/A
Nature: Timid

Where'd You Meet: After leaving Las Vegas, and thirty miles from home, Chris's car ran out of gas, so he had to walk back a few miles to get some gas. On the way though, there was an attack by a robber who had obtained a pokemon and was intending to steal everything of Chris' using his Trapinch, but Mudkip was able to beat the sand bug. The robber cursed before running away, leaving Trapinch there. So Chris helped Trapinch out and healed it to full health, but that caused him to stay and fight off other pokemon, coyotes, ect for a few days, and it got him fired from his job, but Chris didn't find that out until he got home.

Any Other Information: Chris's brother never tried to kill Trapinch, probably since he is trying to kill Akira.

Seems interesting, but I dont think we shuld start with pokemon, as they are supposed to only be appearing now. More a story of our characters meeting and befriending them.

Agreed, and I thought that I noted this in the initial post - rather clearly, at that. Keep any parties that you posted in mind, as you'll have to go through the RP itself before you even get anything. Until then, you're all more or less "... wtf?" about what's going on.

 

[Swift!]

Name: Kade Blake
Age/Birthday: 26th January, 1993 (15)
Location: Sydney, Australia

Appearance: Kade stands at 6'1, weighs 65 kilos and was a rather sturdy build. He has pitch black hair which is shorter at the back and grows into an "emo" fringe at the front, covering his right eye. He has sky blue eyes, which really stand out with the help of black eye liner.
His lightly tanned skin is slightly weathered from years of mistreatment. His usual attire consists of a tight black t-shirt accompanied by a beige scarf, dark blue skinny jeans held up by a black studded belt and converse low-tops worn over white ankle socks. When it's cold he wears a tight white, grey and black striped jumper.

Personality: Kade is rather quiet and doesn't like to talk much, he has lived on the streets for 3 years and usually steals for survival.
His current "home" is actually anywhere that he can get comfortable, for warmth during cold nights he sleeps on night trains... trying to avoid the security guards.

Other Items of Note: Kade first became aware of the "Pokemon" when he was wandering through the back streets of Sydney and he ran into a Pichu, who was looking for food in an overturned garbage can.

-----​

Species: Pichu (Male)
Nickname: N/A

Nature: Pichu is the complete opposite to Kade, he is cheerful and friendly. He loves hugs from Kade, even though Kade never hugs back and wants to be the centre of attention all the time.

Where'd You Meet? - In a back street of Sydney's inner city, Pichu was looking for food when Kade stumbled upon him. Pichu became scared and scurried off, but chose to follow Kade... they both didn't have any true "home" so Kade decided to let Pichu stay with him.

Any Other Information: Pichu has a tuft of fur on the top of his head which is longer than the rest of his fur. He also has a black spot on his right eye which resembles the eye liner around Kade's eyes.

 

[Zimvee]

ok thats what i thought. i was just confused because people were adding their teams. You can expect a sign-up tomorrow!

 

[Parabolic]

Your Name: Nathan Specter
Character Age/Birthday: 18, November 16th, 1989
Location: Surprise, Arizona, US
Appearance: Nathan stands at approximately six feet and weighs an average 194 pounds. His slim appearance off-sets his choices to wear mostly baggy clothing consiting ov t-shirts and jeans. He ocassionally wears an over shirt or something to that effect. His hair is brown, short, and flipped at the forehead where his hairline forms a slight widow's peak. His equally brown goatee frames his chin as his blue eyes seem like jewels on the contrast of his tanned skin.

Personality: Nathan is pretty easy-going. He has been a long-time lover of the arts and a marginally successful actor. These endeavors of his contribute to the quirky aura he exudes. Playful and never afraid to have fun, Nathan attends many social events and never really has much trouble enjoying life.

He wasn't always like this, however. Through elementary school and junior high, he was a timid little kid. He never got many friends and he just stayed incredibly introverted. This behavior has stated to show again now that he has left high school and has started college. He will eventually be out of this phase, but it is something he doesn't really like about himself.

His easygoing personality, however, has led him to be ill-prepared for the sudden outbreak of odd creatures around the world. Not knowing what they are, he starts to live life in sudden fear. Hoping that they don't come to a measly little state like Arizona. He doesn't understand them and therefore fears them. He will soon learn they are not to be feared, but for now he is bordering on terrified.

Other Items of Note: Nathan, as stated before, is scared of the POKeMON events on TV. His first encounter nearly makes him flee the school campus until he realizes Ralts means no harm. (How this message is brought across... you will see. ;))

POKeMON

Species: Ralts
Nature: Quirky
Where'd You Meet?: His college's performing arts stage while he was cleaning up. (Hasn't happened yet, but it will.)
Other Details: Ralts can be... well.... Ralts. Like most of them, he is shy, but if you get him to open up then he is, oddly, a huge party animal. Kind of like how Nathan was at the start of high school and is now that he is starting college.

• Konrad first realized pokemon were popping up after watching the new. However, his first meeting was when he saw a krabby scuttling along an old wave breaker off of a beach.

[Jaxsem]

Eletj, your discovery of a Porygon is not exactly what I would call "permissible" at this point, at least. In the real world, there's no known origin of what would become the Porygon program. I'd leave Porygon alone for now, as it's a Pokémon that would likely be discovered - or at least analyzed - by a hacker or other programmer.

 

[Solyss]

Shouldn't some of our characters be in the same region so that they can meet? D:
*steals someone else's location for this reason*


Your Name: Nicolette Raevin
Character Age/Birthday: 15, October 17th, 1993

Born with a slightly albino complexion, Nicolette has almost abnormally pale skin, and nearly white blond hair that curls gently around her neck, ending a little above her shoulders. Her eyes are a crystalline, almost translucent blue, that stands out in her pale skin. The right eye is usually covered by her bangs, that have been brushed over to the side, slightly long, thusly covering part of her face.

On her ears are many piercings. Two silver studs in each earlobe, one small hoop in her left cartilage, and two in her right. She also been seen with a lip ring on occasion, but doesn't wear it often.

Nicolette's clothes keep a consistent style. Black, tight tees usually with colorful skulls, hearts, or music notes on them. Occasionally, she will wear a vest over them. She wears dark blue denim skinny jeans, usually held up by a simple belt. On her feet are either black flats or converse, depending on her mood.

To finish off her usual attire, Nicolette wears a variety of accessories. Usually she wears pink and black striped arm socks, with a large amount of purple, pink, and black bracelets over them on one wrist, and black and white patterned star bracelets over the other. She sometimes wears a black choker with a cross that hangs down slightly.


Personality: Nicolette is an observer. She stands back from the fast moving flow of the world and watches the world. She notices small things about people, how they act around certain people, how they stand, what their true natures are. This of course, makes her the quiet type. A loner. Someone who is alone, and wants to keep it that way. She wasn't always so silent, however.

When Nicolette was 12 years of age, she was completely different. She had a bubbly, cheery attitude, and had tons of friends. She was very happy. Then tragedy struck.
While walking home from school, Nicolette and her friend Katie were assaulted by a man in an alleyway. The man, obviously drunk, pulled out a gun and nonchalantly pointed it at Nicolette. Freezing up, she closed her eyes and waited for the bang.
And it came. But there was no pain. When she opened her eyes, Katie was standing in front of her, facing the man, who held the gun, now smoking at the barrel. Katie collapsed. Realizing what happened, Nicolette darted home, not caring that her friend had been shot, or that she was probably dead, all she wanted to do was get home. And she did.

After that, Nicolette was never the same. Somehow, she feels responsible for Katie's death. She feels like she was a coward, that she could have saved her. She was also exposed to the true state of the cruel world she lived in. This changed how she thought of everything. She had always said that she would protect a friend with her life, but when the time came, she was the one protected. Her true self was nothing more than a coward. Now she searches for the "true self" of those around her. What they're really like. Who they really are.


Other Items of Note: After the news of the sudden appearance of these new creatures, Nicolette has been secretly going out into forested areas in search of one of them. So far she has only met one.
POKeMON

Species: Eevee
Nickname: Nicolette calls it the "tiny fox" every time she sees it. It has no real nickname yet.
Nature: Jolly
Where'd You Meet?: In the forested area behind her house. She went there often to see if she ever found one of these strange creatures, and she did.
Other Details: Nicolette doesn't own the tiny brown fox creature. She's only seen it in the forest, a few times. It's there every time she comes in the forest, and it seems interested in her, but has so far kept it's distance. It seems like it wants to play.

At this point, all initial characters are accepted. Pokémon will have to be found/met/stolen/etc. along the way, so you will all start out with absolutely none.

Pikalover10, you are on a very short leash on this one. If your posts aren't well-written and grammatically correct (at least to the point of being able to clearly understand what you're trying to say), you will be warned. If you don't shape up after that, you'll be removed, no questions asked.

After this post, all posts will be in-character. Remember, at the start, it's just you and no Pokémon, so post appropriately or face a warning.

For people looking to join: Create a profile using the method listed in the first post, but instead of posting it here, have it messaged to me. An OOC thread will be created for this purpose later.
