!ATTENTION! You do not have to read ALL of it, just atleast read the first part of it, and the description of the kingdoms. (Just in case all the text freaks you out)
In short this is Poke'mon RPG with no humans, set in a fantasy medieval world.
In an age of lost magic and chivalry, valiantry and malevolence, Poke?mon ruled the lands with supreme authority. Legends were made, lore was spun.
Welcome to that such land, the land of Atha?
You are a peasant, a warrior, a wizard, a scholar, an activist, or whatever you choose to be. You hold your allegiance to one of the great kingdoms, the secretive orders or yourself till death.
In the world of Atha, humans do not exist. There are only Poke?mon, and they live like people. Will you choose to plunder the obscure dungeons of Atha, climb its highest peaks, or raise a new order from the ashes? Choose your allegiance, choose your destiny.
If you wish to enter such a world, simply let our scholars know a few details about yourself, and if you?re accepted, you?ll be starting new legends of your own!
Name: (Be creative, and choose a name appropriate for your place of birth. Maeltria names tend to have ae or eia, etc. in their names. Nvolov names tend to be similar to Russian names. Halai names are always Hawaiian sounding. Burnf and Ford Genn names tend to be Orcish and Dwarvish in nature. Zao-Qin names sound oriental. The Unknown Lands names are Lovecraftian in nature. Consider having an epitaph or title, such as Zhuge the Skillful, or Bitter John, but keep it appropriate and reasonable ? absolutely no ?invincible-kick-#@%-Billy-Boot?.)
Species: (What Poke?mon are you? No third-stage evolved Poke?mon, or Legendary Poke?mon.)
Age: (Keep this appropriate according to your species.)
Gender: (All Poke?mon have gender, even though some species do not display a mentality of either gender.)
Description: (Tell me about the physical characteristics of your character, what kind of clothes they were, any peculiar oddities about their appearance, etc. Be descriptive.)
Personality: (What?s your character?s personality? Be descriptive and tell me why you?re character acts the way he/she does.)
History: (What?s your character?s past? Where was he born? What is the history of his family line? What are some life-changing experiences you might have had? Be descriptive. Be thoughtful, you?re history, especially you?re lineage, matter a lot. Please do not have your character have been born in the Unknown Lands, or visited them extensively.)
Allegiance: (To whom do you swear to obey and serve? This is usually one of the kingdoms, cults, sects, etc. or it can be yourself. Be thoughtful though, allegiance matters a great deal in the world of Atha. Please no Allegiances to The Unknown Lands.)
Other: (Put any other notable things about yourself into here, as long the don?t belong in one of the above categories.)
I will probably be accepting 5-10 people for this RPG. Please only 1 character per person. Thank you.
I'm new to these forum boards, and I didn't see any "Sign-Up RPG" sub-forums or anything, but please correct me if I'm doing anything wrong. Thank you. Also, this RPG is Rated PG-13 for possible intense violence and gore and possible breif sensual mentioning. (If this is not allowed please tell me immediately, thank you)
Kingdoms
Kingdom of Maeltria: Maeltria is the cold, ice isle kingdom to the far north, at the top of the world. It is ruled by the Articuno Matriarch A?Leia. It is one of the largest kingdoms, and thrives because of its bountiful supply of cold water seaweed and the consistent demand for its herbal qualities in the lower lands. Maeltria is officially a kingdom of ice and water Poke?mon. It is rumored that A?Leia is currently having an affair with Yru the Regice, leader of the Eternal Ice sect and that marriage may be in the near future. The kingdom of Maeltria has always been allied with Nvolov and Zao-Qin.

It is the largest of the sea kingdoms and has an impressive naval force. Nvolov is traditionally revered as a kingdom of cold water Poke?mon, and some ice ones. Nvolov and Maeltria are on good terms. Halai however, is considered to be an inferior state, and Nvolov would snatch up Halai if it wasn?t for the wrath of Zao-Qin and Ford Genn.

It is unique in that it is one of the first non-monarchy governments in all of Atha, the current elected leader of Halai is the Snorlax Kia?Analaka and his Milotic wife Halaina?Kawai. Halai is the smallest of the sea kingdoms, but is protected from naval assaults by a natural imposing corral reef surrounding most the islands. The Republic of Halai is now the unofficial territory of grass species, ever since the kingdom of grass Poke?mon was obliterated long ago by the fire Poke?mon, as part of the Crusade of 10,000 Ashes. Halai is on excellent grounds with Ford Genn due to a profitable trade agreement, and is positive towards Zao-Qin because of the ?tourist? industry it promotes.

Burnf is currently led by the headstrong partners of Brunom the Entei and Vimgir the Moltres. The kingdom of Kinma was destroyed and dispersed after its malicious crusade against grass Poke?mon, known as the Crusade of 10,000 Ashes. Burnf is also comprised of low-born fire Poke?mon families such as the Ogdrens, Ashendars, Charmelines, Anarnimas and Tolestashes. They are constantly rivaling the Federation of Ford Genn for the latest in steam technology, but their lack of natural materials is constantly setting them behind.

It has been the kingdom of many different legendary Poke?mon, but the Emperor, Being of Heaven, has never changed; it is still the wise, magnificent and glorified Mew, Myu Kenga. Zao-Qin?s immense wealth comes from their massive trade web, as well as unique, high-priced gems and natural silk-like deposits found easily within territorial boundaries. All other kingdoms and large orders send representatives to the capital city of Zao-Qin and pay their respects, as well as talk and discuss. All kingdoms and almost all orders, sects, and cults support Zao-Qin because none of them are strong enough to openly resist.

There, they work on extremely advanced steam-technology and blacksmith forging. They use only the finest materials and their products are regarded as some of the best because they use a combination of fire, steel and electric type Poke?mon. Ford Genn is owned by 3 large, wealthy families; the electric type family of the Ekeleckoes, the fire type family of the Farimgods, and the steel type family of the Ashksh. However, life is tough for their workers because the forges run day and night. Ford Genn is mainly a ?workshop?, so they claim friendliness towards whoever currently profits them the most, however, if some of Ford Genn?s more elaborate inventions, such as ?flying machines? and ?tanks?, are made to work, Ford Genn may be one the mightiest powers in all of Atha.

They arrive biannually at select ports and trade dark, exotic goods, such as voodoo instruments, bits of flesh and strange bones, foul liquids and gases, as well as hideous black clothing and wicked weapons.

The Mercenary?s Guild now has locations all over Atha, and the current leader is a charismatic Pidgeot by the name of Lucky Jones.
The Trade Tree: The Trade Tree is actually Zao-Qin?s extensive network of bartering, as well as it is one of the largest organizations.

Guards have recently been added to the caravans, because they had become a favorite target of bandits. The current overseer of The Trade Tree is Quintus Arcrelius, a greedy little Mr. Mime.
School of The Mystic River: School of The Mystic River is one of the many magical schools devoted to teaching advancement in the special arts.
