Thanks a lot :)
Can I ask, how do you make a boarder around your post like that? I feel like such a noob not being able to do that ;n;
Honestly, I have no idea lol. One of my friends made it for me a few months back, so I have been using it for this RP. It basically something similar to how sizes and colors work on words, but has a good amount of set 'codes' that need to be placed correctly. I am in no way able to tell you how to make them lol. I am sure you could have some answers or someone can make you one if you want one.
Also, I will reply to your next post soon. Gonna see if anyone else wants to post before I post anymore. It might be best to make a JP together if we plan to interact a lot more. That way there won't be 10+ posts going back and forth just between us.
Journey RPs sound really interesting. Never done one before! How do they work, exactly? How is this one going?
Unusual. The OP didn't load past the image the first time. Reloaded and it worked? This is what I get for looking at this on a phone.
Anyway, it sounds very interesting. I'll most definitely have to give this puppy a look. Do people tend to pair/group up in a journey RP, in your experience?

I just noticed that Coul is in Celestic Town, maybe when Oakley and Tatsumi get there we could post with Varys then?
Name: Stan (Stacey) Cordeline
Age: 18
Gender: Male, crossdresser.
Hometown: Solaceon
Appearance: This is a standard look.
![]()
He will wear whatever looks best and since he is who he is, feminine attire is what naturally adorns him. He won't go out of his way to be provactive with his clothing choices but he is equally shameless- he'll wear what works when he has to.
Interests and Goals:
His primarily goal is to make some money. He has hustled and done odd jobs ever since his family moved from Johto and with the collapse of the family business forcing him out, he is even more keen to make the moolah. Indeed, this goal has been so prevalent for so long that it is why he looks the way he does- his sister needed help convincing her new teachers on their first day at a new school that she was at school when in reality she was off competing in a high stakes pokemon match, so they went through great effort to make him look convincing. Lo and behold, it worked...and it didn't even require much. It worked so well that they kept it up for most of the year, and he just kept on looking that way afterwards.
He is not above losing to make money either. He had a successful run as a jobber trainer. People would hire him out to lose to their children or friends. He hustled on the streets of several cities and looks at the adventure he is about to partake in as just another way to make a buck.
He has a wide variety of interests, most of which are derived by his focusing on whatever he does that ends up working. he has a passing interest in card games of all stripes and has always had a certain affection for all things Pokemon. He loves trying new and interesting things, and is willing to indulge himself in just about any activity if he thinks he can do it well. No matter what it is, if he is good at it, he'll take an interest in.
Family:
Mother, Janice, Father, Enricin, and older sister, Rose. Together they formed a dysfunctional if loving family. Originally of Johto, they moved here after Enricin failed (again) to distinguish himself as a Pokemon trainer. Seeking a new start, Janice moved the family business- a lumber service ran primarily by Enricin's pokemon- to their new home. And then moved again. And again. The business never took off and Enricin's job prospects as a failed lifelong trainer were poor. As a result, both parents worked outrageous hours, leaving their son and daughter alone. Rose took responsibility, and large elements of her charcter and personality rubbed off on the very impressionable Stan.
Strengths:
Unflappable and has an amazing ability to adapt. No one exemplifies better the saying, "If life gives you lemons, make lemonade". He can become what he needs to be when he needs to be it and he knows it. This knowledge means that failure or hardship are shrugged off with a grin. He has always had a habit of turning defeats into victories (unless he is paid to do the opposite), and knows that no matter what, he can make do. If he were to be stranded on a deserted island...well, he'd enjoy the impromptu nude beach and lifetime supply of coconuts.
Humor and Upbeat Attitude. He can make a joke out of any situation, with a broad sense of humor- immature, mature, parody, satire, sarcastic quips and elaborate surrealism all appeal to him. This is a symptom of the dreaded, 'positive attitude' disease. Since he has few expectations and a belief that he can and will always be able to get by, he is almost always satisfied. The more positive feedback he gets, the more likely he is to ascribe GIANT SUCCESS to his efforts.
Quick thinking and sneaky smart. No one will mistake him for a genius, but his range of experiences and indulgences in a wide variety of situations makes him an underestimated wealth of knowledge. He can come up with quick solutions and respond to changing circumstance with lightning speed.
Friendly. He is easy to get along with as, after making money, having good people around him is what matters.
Weaknesses:
Stan doesn't know who he really is and hasn't for years. In moments of quiet reflection he grapples with questions of identity and purpose. He spends the overwhelming amount of his life as Stacey and enjoys it, but why? Is that who he is or is it simply the most comfortable mask? Not being able to pin down what to do with yourself can be hard. Read a book and learn some knowledge or take that cheap, not so glamorous but it pays the bills so just don't think about it job? he always takes the job. It is hard to understand what's the mask, what's the job, and what's the person underneath. And the worst part is that he doesn't know if he ever wants those answers.
He could probably use a good friend or two to help him out, but it also means that someone willing to help him could just as easily be someone wanting to manipulate or control him. Once you worm your way into his heart he has an almost impossible task ahead of him if he wants to distrust you. He tends to be very impulsive. Part of his ability to adapt, the darker side of it, is that if something looks promising he has a hard time not trying it, even if it is a bad idea. This has put him in bad situations with bad people, and has rarely benefited him. His impulsiveness has been known to detract from whatever main goal is ahead of him.

Horn Attack
Zen Headbutt
Rest

I would be happy to do that. I'm currently in the gym battling against tiamat. after the battle, I will be picking up my Scyther from the Pokemon center. Maybe we could meet up there and have our characters proceed together to Mt. Coronet?
