Lately I've been looking for the perfect RP but I've always come up short. Then I realized the only way to get a perfect RP was to create it myself. So, that's exactly what I did. This RP is based loosely off my very first fan fiction.
Plot:
It has been many millennia since the almighty Arceus created the Legends and went into his deep slumber. Each Legendary being was given the power to govern a certain aspect of the universe created. At some points, these Legends were given similar tasks, like Dialga and Celebi, but this overlap of duties never caused the Legends to conflict with one another. Soon enough, lesser life spread throughout the universe, but mainly on a relatively small planet call Earth. Many of the Legends called these lesser beings the 'regulars' and demanded worship from the beings. Although many of them objected to it, the regulars were smart enough not to test the power of the Legends and worshipped them like Gods. Even with the imbalance of power and conflict eventually arising among the Legends (mainly to see who should be worshipped more), the universe was at piece. Arceus' universe, that is.
Unknown to all except Arceus himself, an opposite universe was created by an equally powerful being: Giratina. At first glance, the two universes look completely identical, but there is one major difference. No matter how hard he tried, Giratina was unable to sustain life in his realm. Drowned in thousands of years of loneliness, the godly Pokemon went mad and annihilated his creation, but not before making an escape route into Arceus' universe. He expected to be destroyed for ignoring universal boundaries, but was intrigued to find his better half in an eternal slumber and beings almost as corrupt as him ruling over the main source of life. And at that moment, Giratina came up with a plan; a plan that would ultimately change the course of the entire universe.
Giratina observed the most corrupted of the Legends for many centuries, hiding in the deepest reaches of the realm to elude Dialga and Palkia's senses. It was only when he saw that certain Legends were favored more than others by the regulars did the devious being make its first move. One by one, Giratina visited each of the favored Legends, convincing them that if they joined his cause, together they would be able to destroy the other Legends and eventually Arceus himself, allowing them to become gods in full. Such a promise was hard to deny and before the end of the century, Giratina had gained control over six Legends and their massive army of followers. However, with all this support, Giratina chose not to attack just yet, and the years continued to roll by.
No one was for sure how it happened, but one day, the news that six Legends had betrayed their brethren and was on a quest for ultimate power. The remaining Legends were obviously outraged and soon enough discovered the six that were guilty: Mewtwo, Lugia, Deoxys, Heatran, Regigigas and Darkrai. They never discovered the existence of Giratina and the evil god warned his followers not to mention his name. Unable to give any plausible reason for their actions, all six Legends were stripped of their titles and forced to live among the regulars. This act, which should have been Arceus and only Arceus' decision to make, angered the regulars to no end. But their anger was understandable. After all, since these Legends were no more, did that mean that all the Pokemon whose prayers were directed to the former legends would simply be ignored? Conflict between the two types of beings was eventually settled, but the damage had been done. The regulars lost their faith in the Legends, and Giratina saw his chance to attack.
It started off like every other day, but in truth, it was far from that. On that day, Giratina went forward with his first plan: defeat the two Legends that stood a chance against him— Dialga and Palkia. After rousing the fallen Legends and their remaining followers (which still consisted of a fairly large army), the rebels attacked the unsuspecting Legends head on. A great battle to span the ages began, and would later be known as The Legendary War. Dialga and Palkia were able to avoid total defeat, but only by making themselves prisoners to their own domains of time and space. With no one in his way, Giratina launched war on the rest of the Legends and the regulars that still opposed him. A good number of Pokemon underestimated the power of this new being and quickly fell victim to his terrible power. It was clear the to the Legends that they could not win the war on their own, and for the first time in recorded history, broke the barriers between Legend and regular and the two armies fought as one. With their combined force, they drove back Giratina's army, and eventually decimating it completely. Without giving them a chance to recover, the remaining Legends called upon the power Arceus imbued them with and tore a hole in the fabric of the universe and locked Giratina in the Void. The fallen Legends, who knew at that point that the fight was lost, surrendered and have been locked away ever since.
It has been many years since The Legendary War, but things have never truly gone back to normal. With the death of so many Legends, the regulars soon realized that these creatures were no gods and did not deserve worship. The two kept their distance as the Legends returned to maintaining control over their specific domains while the regulars began doing their own thing. Now that praying to the Legends to make problems go away was usless, the regulars took it upon themselves by forming elite teams to maintain control over their world. One thing both side had in common though, was that they forgot about The Legendary War and were on the brink of repeating past mistakes. Then, the unexpected happened: for a brief moment, Arceus awoke. With a booming voice that reached all ears, he said:
"You are all foolish to believe the Dark One is gone for good. Mark my words, He shall return and wage war against the world once again. His rise in inevitable, but there is a way for you to be ready for it: kill the fallen Legends that still remain loyal to Him. Without them, He will be much easier to silence. There will be signs of his return. First, he who governs the Earth shall awaken with a violent shake. Then He who governs Seas will create waves that shall swallow whole Islands. And finally, He who governs the Skies shall rain destruction on all those below him. If all these events come to past and the fallen ones still live, then Giratina has already won the war. Go out, my creations, and cleanse the world of the ultimate darkness!"
And with that, Arceus' slumber resumed. If only he had stayed awake for a little longer, he would have realized that his warning fell on deaf ears. The regulars ignored him, as they had lost faith in the Legends, and the Legends knew that their prisons were much to complex for the fallen to do anything but cheer their master on. And so the centuries passed on, and most of the world forgot about this age.
You are a Pokemon living in Little Hillmoss Town, and lately there have been many quakes in the region. The ignorant people of your age believe it to be natural phenomena, but a Weavile that happened to be passing by is spreading word of Arceus' forgotten prophecy. He claims to know where to find the fallen Legends but says that he'll need a team of brave Pokemon to help him defeat the traitors. You are intrigued by his quest and decide to join him. Little do you know that you are all getting into something bigger than yourselves.

Name/Nicknames: Edward "Ed" Stern
Species: Weavile
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance: Along with the regular attributes that all healthy Weavile will have, Ed wears a small, brown messenger bag where he keeps all his belongings and food. He usually wears and old, ragged brown cloak that seems a bit too long as it trails along the ground. Lastly, the yellow jewel that should be on his forehead is missing for reasons he keeps to himself.
Personality: Edward has always been a natural born leader. He has always had the ability to think on his feet as well as make good judgment calls. This, however, causes him become obviously jealous when someone else tries to lead the team. He is also a very orderly being and will almost never does anything dangerous without thinking up a plan first. If, for any reason, an objective is not meant, he is quick to lay blame on the one(s) responsible, but will also gladly take responsibility if he is the one at fault. When it comes to his enemies, Ed can be very merciless and lives by the philosophy that with every enemy left alive, the team has less of a chance to complete a mission. When meeting strangers, Ed is not at all shy and can actually seem a bit too enthusiastic at times. Then there's how he treats those close to him. Edward is a very loyal and trustworthy Pokemon, but at the same time has the tendency to act like a jerk to his friends. Most of the time he's just joking around, but he sometimes goes a little too far.
History: Edward is originally from a village northwest of Little Hillmoss Town, known as Rosetown. In his early years, Ed held great admiration for the Pokemon teams of his village that went to complete missions. He dreamed of the day when he was old enough to join a team so he could help the growing world around him. As he waited for his time to come, Ed spent a lot of time with the village elder, an old Alakazam, who taught him how to lead a team and told him old stories. The day before all adequate males were tested to join available teams, Ed visited the elder and asked for one last story. And so the Alakazam told the best story he knew: the one of the Legendary War. The tale immediately caught Edward's attention, mainly because it was true. To everyone's amazement, Ed purposely missed the annual testing to educate his fellow townspeople about their past and their inevitable future. Not only were the villagers not paying attention, but even the most respected teams didn't bother checking if what the boy said held any truth. At first the townspeople ignored the Weavile, but soon they realized that he was passionately sticking to his beliefs and continued causing disturbances. When the entire village shunned him, Edward knew the Pokemon's minds were made up and he had no choice but to move on to the next town. Before leaving, he promised the Alakazam that he would return when he convinced a reasonable number of Pokemon to help his cause.
Moves: Quick Attack, Screech, Icy Wind, Ice Punch, Crush Claw
RP Sample: Not me!
Other: Edward's skin is always cold to the touch, even after an intense battle.

The Fall from Grace
Giratina observed the most corrupted of the Legends for many centuries, hiding in the deepest reaches of the realm to elude Dialga and Palkia's senses. It was only when he saw that certain Legends were favored more than others by the regulars did the devious being make its first move.

The War
