Name: Zanzara Zeron

Gender: Male

Age: 14 (Taking Cruise the day of his birthday)

Personality: Zanzara is a pretty fun person to hang out with, he can get a little hyper or loud at times, but when it comes to something serious like a pokemon battle then he is focused 100%. At the school he went to he was considered one of the nerds, yet he was a skinny guy, with a ok build. He loves pokemon and he always has his with him. He doesn't want to catch more then 6 because he doesn't want to leave any behind.

Appearance: He has pure black hair, his hair is pretty long because it goes down to his shoulders, he also has light blue eyes. He has a scar on the temple of his head from a pokemon battle gone wrong. He has a light brown tan from being outside with his pokemon, he is about 5 1/2" tall and has a ok build. He always wears long blue jeans and a sweatshirt, he wears a class ring that he got from the school he went to.

Bio: Zanzara has a pretty good life, yet he has had a few events in his life that could be considered to shape his personality, such as when his fathers friend was watching him when he was 12 years old and beat him, the guy was drunk and got mad because Zanzara wouldn't get him another beer. Zanzara also got a scar on his head around his temple, that was from when he was battling his only pokemon and an cut attack missed his pokemon and hit Zanzara in the face, he was fine but he was always ready from there to move after a missing attack. He had many friends but many of them abandoned him when a rumor was spread around about him abusing his pokemon, it was a kid who hated Zanzara because he won at a test battle. Zanzara is taking the cruise ship to Johto for a birthday trip, his dad thought that he would want to go and meet some of the great trainers of Johto, which he did and he was very happy about turning 15, he also wanted to meet his favorite gym leader of all time on this trip, Falkner, the bird type leader.

Pokémon: Zanzara only has one pokemon and it is a Pidgey that one day wandered into his yard while he was taking care of the flowers in the backyard, it was injured and could barely move, since then Zanzara had become great friends with his Pidgey and later caught him and nicknaming him Zix.

Pokémon Info: The only pokemon that Zanzara has is Pidgey that one day wandered into his yard while he was taking care of the flowers in the backyard, it was injured and could barely move, since then Zanzara had become great friends with his Pidgey and later caught him and nicknaming him Zix. It has a cool attitude that makes him think that he can do whatever he wants to by himself, it is kind of funny to Zanzara when Zix fails to do something, Zix is a male pidgey and has a birthmark on its left wing that is shaped like a moon.

[Please know that this is my first thread roleplay, and my first pokemon roleplay so please don't be to harsh, thanks! ,Ian758]

Edit: I made a little trainer card for it to :D

Can I please reserve a spot? This seems like "Gilligan's Island"... minus the movie star.
 
What's Gilligan's Island? Anyway I'll reserve a spot for you, please make your profile asap ^_^
 
Sorry, my SU's going to be a while :( But I'll get it in soon, okay? I'm trying to create a totally new character for this...

(^you kind of missed Ian's SU...^)
 
why put off tomorrow what you can do today? hahaa...here's the profile. i hope it doesn't suck too much...

Name: Adeline "Addy" von Hazen
Gender: Female
Age: 18

Personality: Addy is a very out-going girl. She is very friendly and likes to have friends. Like any person in the world, she does have her tempers. When she was younger, she was given anything and everything she could ever ask for. Many people called her a spoiled brat because of that. Since she was spoiled as a child, she tends to throw little tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants.

When Addy sets goals, she never gives up until they've been achieved. Sometimes she goes to the extreme just to reach her goal. With Addy, you just never know! She's unpredictible. One moment she can be all happy, but when someone denies her of what she wants, then she can turn all angry and throw a hissy fit.

You could say that she's very optimistic, always looking on the bright side of things. When someone thinks that they can't do anything, Addy will try to bring their spirits up by telling them that they can do anything if they put their mind to it. Maybe she won't succeed by telling them so, but at least she tried. No one can be perfect.

Addy isn't the sharpest tool in the box. She catches on slowly to jokes and information. It could take a person a week to learn new information, but it'll take Addy about two or three weeks to learn information. If someone told a joke, she would spend a long time trying to figure out what it meant and why it was so funny. She's not stupid or anything, it just takes her a while to process information. Some people like to belive she's stupid, but she's just a slow learner. Everyone learns at their own pace. Some are fast learners, others learn slowly.


Appearance: Addy is about 5 feet and 8 inches in height. She weighs somewhere between 150 and 160 pounds. She has a normal figure for a girl of her age and height. Her skin is a tan-like color, since she's mostly out in the sun. Originally, her skin was a pale color.

Addy has long, smooth, thick black hair that reaches down to her waist. Within the black hair are blonde and neon pink streaks added for some color. She has bangs covering part of her left emerald eye. Her right emerald eye is exposed. Addy wears some eye make-up, such as black eyeliner and some pink eyeshadow.

Her outfit consists of a short black dress that reaches her knees. The dress is similar to a tube top...except it's a dress. Under the dress, she wears a purple tank top. The sleeves are visible, since there are no sleeves whatsoever on her dress. She wears a studded belt in the waist area for an accesory. The skirt portion is ruffly from the waist down. Underneath the dress are light pink skinny jeans.

For shoes, she wears black combat boots with a bit of a heel. The boots go over her pink skinny jeans. They don't go all the up to her calf, though. She folded them down to her ankle, since on certain days she gets too hot with the boots all the way.

Addy loves to accesorize. She has three necklaces. One is a small necklace that goes up to her collar bone. It's a little pink skull-and-cross bones attatched to a silver chain. Her other necklace is medium length, going down to her bust. It's a moderate sized diamond heart attatched to a gold chain. It makes sense to be towards the bust, huh? Her final necklace is the same length as her heart neckalce, except it's a little silver teddy bear attatched to a blue piece of wire. She also wears black fingerless gloves that go up to her wrist along with a few bracelets that were given to her by her mother.


Bio: Addy came from a rich family. She was born an only child, which is probably why her family spoiled her rotten, giving her everything she asked for and more. For her eighth birthday, her father presented her with her first Pokemon, a Vulpix. Addy adored the little Vulpix. She named her Pixie. Her and Pixie trained almost every day. Addy dreamed of becoming a great Pokemon trainer, which is why she was eager to start training.

For her tenth birthday, she recieved her silver teddy necklace from her aunt. The year after that, for her eleventh birthday, she recieved four bracelets from her mother, as well as a Ponyta. Addy could care less about the jewelry because she just got a Ponyta for her birthday. She began to train with both Pixie and her new Ponyta, still hoping to be a wonderful Pokemon trainer one day.

Her last and final Pokemon was recieved on her sixteenth birthday: An Absol. She named her Absol Abby, named after her mother who died months before. As a momentum, she wears the four bracelets that her mother had bought for her tenth birthday. Right now, it's her only connection with her mother. She does have a few pictures, but they're hard to transport when she's traveling.

Addy set off to Johto to train her Pokemon some more and to go an adventure there. Johto is also where her aunt currently resides. Addy figured that since she's going to Johto for an adventure, she might as well drop by her aunt's house and say hello. Her father bought her a ticket for a ferry to Johto. Addy couldn't wait to go on her adventure.


Pokémon: Ninetails, Ponyta, and Absol

Pokémon Info: Ninetails (Pixie) - Female
Pixie was Addy's first Pokemon. Addy trained with Pixie every day. Day by day, Pixie got stronger, and one day, she evolved from a Vulpix to a Ninetails. Pixie is very protective over her trainer, since she's been with her for ten years. Pixie stays out of her Pokeball and wanders around with Addy, protecting from any dangers that may happen to her.

Ponyta - Female
Ponyta was Addy's second Pokemon. Addy trained with her Ponyta often, like she did with Vulpix. Sadly, Ponyta didn't evolve into a Rapidash yet. Ponyta isn't as strong as Pixie, since Addy hasn't been training her as much as she's been training Pixie. Addy still trains her Ponyta, hoping that one day she'll finally evolve into a Rapidash. Right now, she's starting to think that Ponytas don't evolve.

Absol (Abby) - Female
Absol was named after Addy's late mother, Abigail....AKA Abby. Again, Abby isn't as strong as Pixie, and is definately not as strong as Ponyta. Addy has been training Abby for about two years, so she's not so strong, but she not so weak, either. She's somewhere in the middle. Abby is like Pixie, she's protective over her trainer. Sadly, Addy can't have two Pokemon out and about with her, she finds that weird and akward. Like her mother and Pixie, Abby is very caring and loves Addy deeply. Addy likes to believe that her mother's spirit is associated with Abby. Everyone thinks she's crazy for thinking that.
 
@ Mira: I totally did too! Thank you for pointing it out.

@ Z (that's what i'm going to call you now Z34Guy =] ) I'm not American so that might help the not knowing xD It indeed looks very similar, I swear! I total coincidence!

I will read the profiles in a minute.
 
@ Ian: Mira pointed that out just now, sorry. I know this is your first time, but I really want the profile to be longer and more detailed. What you have is the most basic and superficial part of your character. I want you to go deep down and dig up everything you find. More on his personality, there has to be more to him that that. Maybe how he acts when he is mad or doesn't get what he wants. Peculiarities on his characters, Strengths and weaknesses. Flaws.
And the appearance and bio are the same. What kind of cut is his hair? What clothing does he wear? Where did he obtain his Pidgey? Why was the obviously alcoholic friend of the father allowed to babysit him anyway?

@Omen: You are accepted, welcome to the roleplay
 
Yeah, I was planning on doing the signup today, but my brain is completely dead, and I don't think I could manage to do it without making it sound completely stupid. So tomorrow I will definitely have it up!
 
It's fine Swift, take your time. Better have a perfect profile a little later than a lesser one sooner, right? I am ebing slow too anyway ^_^
 
I believe it's a coincidence and most people my age would have the same reaction. But I have a thing for classic Americana or retro tastes. I love things with a flavor of the 50's and 60's from American daily life. I recognized the similarities right away obviously. Anyways, here's my SU...
----------

Name: Angel Gemps

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Personality: Angel is shy, timid, keeps to himself and likes to listen to pop music. He is surprisingly stoic and doesn't reveal his feelings easily as well as having a hard time telling others feelings (even when it's oh so blatantly obvious). Underneath this though is a loving, caring person who's deeply troubled by other's opinions. This is all hidden under a layer of depression though.

When he thinks he's alone, he sings to make himself feel better. He's really good at singing but gets overly embarrassed when someone overhears him. He seems really easy-going... unless he doesn't have his music. Then he gets spaztastic and freaks out before going into withdrawal. If he snaps though, watch out. He will lash out at the first things he sees and won't stop til he can't move anymore.

Appearance: Angel has dark blue fluffy, spikey hair and crystal-like blue eyes that seem to glow slightly in darkness giving them an eerily beautiful vibe (Think Sora Hashiba from 'Sukisho", but younger looking) . He stands at 5' 10" and weighs around 160 lbs. His frame is tall and skinny but normal for his age. He wears a pair of noise canceling headphones around his neck. Covering his torso is a white T shirt with two uneven blue stripes running down the front off to the right (to him) side a little. His legs are covered with jeans that hug his thighs but open up at the bottom for a bell-bottom like look with fading running down the front and back. On his wrist is a fuzzy black wristband/sweatband and he wears black sneakers with stylized red stitching and silver lining. On his shoulder is strapped a black messenger bag with blue inserts.

When he started his journey, he had a pale complexion from staying inside singing alot, but has gained a nice deep tan since then. His hair has only needed a few trimmings to keep it managable, but has been otherwise untouched. He has lately started growing a small goatee which shows dark blue IS his true hair color. His iPod had been completely modified prior to him starting his journey. Unsure of the torture it would endure, Angel made it waterproof and converted it to solar powered while ruggedizing it a bit with a rubber skin.

Bio: Angel was born and raised in Viridian City. As a young child, he was a bright student, often getting A's and B's, but where he excelled was Music and Chorus. As he got older, his love of music and singing grew, often putting him at odds with his dad who want edhim to follow in the family tradition of becoming a pokemon trainer. As his love for music and singing grew, so also did his abilitys. It became apparent by age 12 that he was more talented than most famous singers.

His dad is an ex-pokemon trainer turned reseacher with professor Oak. Being that his dad is dealing with science, his dad tends to think things through logically and scientifically. He has a lower chance of becoming a pop idol than becoming a gym leader. Things would be easier for him had his mom been there to support him despite his dad, but Angel's mom passed away when he was born, leading to his father being a bit overprotective.

Angel was forced to take a pokemon journey by his dad and Professor Oak. Given a pokemon and shoved off at age 15, he developed a hatred of his dad. In fact, once, while "coincidentally" meeting his dad while on his journey in Goldenrod City, Angel snapped and lashed out at his dad. His old man spent 3 weeks in the Goldenrod City Hospital and 2 months in recovery. This is one of the few violent streaks Angel has ever had. Angel then had a psychiatric evaluation to see whether he was actually sane. He passed but was labeled "currently unstable". Some have wondered whether he has a dual personality as he seems conflicted quite often with himself.

No matter how much he denies it, Angel makes a great pokemon trainer. Years of onhand experience with his dad has led to a unique battle style. Rather than shouting out attacks, he trains his pokemon to respond to changes in the pitch of his voice while he sings during a battle. The change in pitch tells them what to do. This gives him the constant element of surprise as no one he's met has been able to figure out what he's thinking or what he ordered his pokemon to do. However, sometimes it backfires when the pokemon mistakes one tone for another. He's apparently also trained them to know when he's singing for fun and when he's singing to command. This unique battle style combined with the range of tones and notes his voice can hit makes for a very tough battle.

Pokémon: Marill, Whismer

Pokémon Info:

Marill - male: One of Angel's favorite pokemon. He has a bond with it that he has with few other pokemon, save for his Whismer. Marill is laid back and loves to have fun but will turn deadly serious when it needs to be. Angel's fifth caught pokemon, they have endured alot together. The best of friends. Given a choice, Angel hates to admit it, but he'd pick his Marill over his other pokemon. Looks are decieving as Marill is Angel's strongest pokemon. It's taken down full grown Charizards before. It's tried to evolve but Angel won't let it, constantly saying he doesn't want Marill to change.

Whismer - female: Angel's second favorite of his pokemon. It's one of his favorites because of it's connections with sound and music. Whismer and Angel both share a love of music... only Whismer can't sing anywhere near as well as Angel. Music is a rather strong bond between them. Angel had looked after Whismer's egg for a long time before Whismer hatched. He was given the egg from a pokemon daycare when the trainer with the parenting pokemon didn't want it. Whismer is a bit of a cry-baby and is very skittish since it's still a newborn. But Whismer has proved tough time and time again when push comes to shove.
 
Name: Elliot Acies


Gender: Male


Age: 15


Personality: In a social setting, Elliot generally strives to gain attention, even in the most inappropriate of times. To this end, he has a sense of humour, ranging from allusions, to slapstick, to dark humour as well as the odd prank. He also likes to start arguments, always attempting to have his say, before the matter is over (even if it doesn't add to the conversation). Especially at school this gets him into trouble, as usually a fight might occur. He is never bitter after a fight, but rather he is passionate about them.

While he is not particularly energetic, by himself, he gets bored quickly. He had suffered early on in school as a result. But since his father helped him in obtaining a Trapinch, his homework and procrastination greatly diminished. He now takes his schooling seriously, but still manages to pull some strings in the above listed humours.

Because he is at that rebellion stage in life (teenager wut!), he tends to not listen to his parents often. Evidence of such could be seen in his room ("How old is that sandwhich?!"). Nonetheless his focus still stays with his homework.

Elliot's sister also tends to get on his nerves. Though he does love his family in the end. He also holds reservations (not fears) for water type pokemon.

Appearance: Elliot is Caucasian and has a medium build. He stands at a descent height of 5'10". He has black surfer's hair (which will either look all wacky from surfing, or from having put hair wax through it) and green eyes. He uses facial cleansers often, to avoid any outbreak of pimples.

He will usually be seen wearing Surfer branded clothing, a simple one coloured t-shirt with his favourite company on the front of it (he lost count of how many t-shirts he had a long time ago). As well he has a collection of border shorts, as well as men's capris, the majority of them being white or beige in colour. His usual favourite combination is a torquise t-shirt with and sleek white capris.

He also wears a necklace made of small round wooden beads.

Bio: Born in Mauville City, Elliot has lived in the Hoenn region his whole life. He grew up with a mother (Jill), father (Peter), and sister (Rosie). The family earned a descent income and as a result could afford some liberties. Elliot, as aforementioned, was popular at school, and before his first pokemon, he and some friends would go surfing in the bay just south of the city almost every day. It was not until the Sharpedo attack that he stopped going surfing, this happening at the age of 10. This as a result made him dislike water pokemon in general.

Because he did not decide to become a Pokemon trainer at the age of 10 like others in his class, Elliot studied on, or at least tried to do so. He did not even feel compelled to go on the journey, but did feel a bit lonely. Thus one day, his dad decided to take him on a trip to the desert, north of the city in attempt to help him catch a pokemon. To that end Elliot was able to catch a Trapinch (which he named Morpheus, after the God of Dreams, just for the fact that it sounded cool), who has been a strong willed companion and good friend since then. Most of the battles its been in however were school yard skirmishes, as Elliot had no desire to attempt any gym badges. But surprisingly one day, in the middle of one of his now few skirmishes, his Trapinch evolved to Vibrava.

At first sceptical about the "fun-ness" his father claimed a multi region cruise would be (for their summer vacation), Elliot decided to join the family when his father hinted at all the hot babes that would be on the cruise ship. Thus they headed from Hoenn, to Kanto first, while visiting there, their father decided to catch a pokemon with his own, and gave the now captured pokemon to his sister. It was a Meowth. Though for some strange reason, she named it Pikachu, and the name had stuck since then.

They eventually made their way to the Sinnoh region and then taking the Louisiana to the Johto region.

Pokémon: Vibrava nicknamed Morpheus (or Morph for short) is a male and looks like a typical Vibrava

(Significant for the RP, as Elliot will have been carrying Meowth): Meowth nicknamed Pikachu is a regular looking Meowth. Pikachu is a female.


Pokémon Info: Vibrava: Strong willed and confident, and friendly. It will do what Elliot asks of it to do. Though its battle experience is not completely fine tuned, as it has not participated in many.

Meowth: His sister had it for about 3 weeks. It acts loyal to her, and only her, and on many occasions has scratched Elliot, and only him. This was becoming a down turn on the cruise for Elliot as his parents only smiled when they saw his sister play with her Pikachu.
 
Z, even though I think the personality is a bit short, he's an interesting character and you are accepted. Ivory would like him xD

Okay, Feign is accepted too.
 
YAY!... but who'se Ivory? and the personality is vague on purpose as most of it will be revealed in the RPG
 
Ivory is the character being created right now =]
Okay, as long as you know your character inside out, it's okay.

Name: Ivory "Ivy" van Dijck
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Personality: She is a very ditzy little girl, that can easily be said. She is clumsy, a little rock can cause her to slip and fall. Her body is usually covered in at least a few bruises, but this made her tough. She is definitely not a crybaby, if she would have cried for every time she skimmed her knee, she'd be dead by dehydration.
She is also quite ditzy in her comments, some things aren't quite clear to her at first, making her come to stupid conclusions and leading to embarrassing moments. She is a bit blunt with what she says, too blunt. She does before she thinks landing her into a lot of foolish situations that could have easily be avoided.

Also Ivory is naïve, she will easily believe things you tell her, sarcasm also completely passes her by sometimes. This also makes her very easy to manipulate.
Her intentions are always true though, no matter how stupid she was, she usually only meant good with it. Of course, she has her bad times too, times when her intentions aren't as true, but she is quick to regret it afterwards.
Her anger is something else completely. It is almost impossible to think of the little creature as a demon when she is mad, be she very nearly becomes one. Her childlike personality leads to arguments where she refuses to back off. She can't stand to lose one and so she becomes mad and childish. She'll sit with her back to you and not talk to you for a long time. These things are usually over small things too, you said something she didn't like and she'd comment, dragging it out until you'd have enough. That is when she can hold a grudge for a while, waiting for you to be the one to apologize, because she won't. She'll feel regret, of course, but her stubborn nature prevents her from actually being the one to apologize. She simply won't do it.

But for the most part she is nice girl that likes to be friends with everybody. She especially has a tendency to be attracted towards those that others find strange, or that have no friends. She feels she needs to be their friend, simply because they don't have any. Also, they simply interest her, in a strange way. She likes the social outcasts, it's another story to learn.

Appearance: Ivory is a true ginger. As her name suggests, her skin is very pale, the only thing giving it color are the freckles. She has loads of freckles. They're not over her entire face, though, only over the nose and under the eyes. Her arms are freckly. Her hair is cut a little over shoulder length and it's copper-red and curly. She sometimes wears it in pigtails over her shoulders, but mostly it's just loose. She is a frail and tiny thing, standing at a 1.54m. She is very skinny, having almost no chest at all and no muscle either. You'd think she'd fly away with a gust of wind.
Her eyes are bright green and stand out with the red hair. Her face overall is rather small, with tiny ears and a tiny button nose.

She likes to wear bright clothing, though carefully stepping away from the pink shades. She either wears light blue denim shorts or darker blue jean's that end at her knee. She took three shirts with her on the cruise, one of them being a comfortable light green shirt with puffy sleeves and a square cut. The have an elastic just beneath the bust and then they flow down freely. She also has her summery yellow shirt that has two spaghetti bands to hold it up, after that is't loose layers of frills that leave the belly button bare. Then she has a white gypsy-like shirt that leaves the shoulders bear. She also carries a teal zip-up sweater with yellow flowery details. All this is packed in a cylinder shaped darown leather bag with one shoulder strap. This also carries necessary items such as a few potions, a whole bunch of spare Pokéballs and some nice treats for her little creatures.
She also carries rather large sunglasses with her, that make her face even smaller. She usually wears silver hoop earrings and a silver necklace with a sparkling snowflake-shaped pendant attached.
Her shoes are either black flats or white comfy sneakers.

Bio: Ivory was one of those children everyone found cute. She was the one who wobbly walked towards the pokemon to give them a squishy hug. Or the one with the adorable smile. No one could resist her charms. She grew up in a house full of love and care. Her mother worked in a department store while her dad was a security guard. She grew up in Olivine and was obsessed with the lighthouse Ampharos. She always wanted an Ampharos, it was her favorite Pokémon.

On her 10th birthday her parents surprised her with a tiny little Mareep. It was very small, smaller than average and very cute also. It was her best birthday yet. Her parents allowed her to train the Mareep in the area, but she wasn't allowed to go adventuring yet. She loved the lonely little thing. She never really trained it too hard, it was a frail and skittish little Pokémon and she didn't want to frighten it even more.
A few years later, when she was 13, she got addressed by a local breeder. The breeder said she found a Pokemon that needed Ivory's help. So Ivory took the little sad Cubone, but it didn't turn out to be such a sad little Pokemon, because she took after her trainer in a lot of ways.

Tehn, on her 16th birthday she told her parents she was going to go on an adventure. She was old enough. Her mother tried to stall her as long as possible, but in the end, gave in. She did gift Ivy with a Lapras, in case anything happened to her. And so, she went on the challenge. She beat one gyms before she got homesick. She wanted to go back to Johto. She could do a challenge there too, right?
And so she reached the Louisia, about to go back to her home island. But things didn't quite go well.

Pokémon:
Lapras (Amphitrite)
Cubone (Persephone)
Mareep (Apolla)

Pokémon Info:
Amphitrite (Phoebe) is still very young, but she is strong enough to carry one trainer on her back. She's playful and likes to swim, a lot. She bonded well with Ivory and loves to play with her in the sea. She is incredibly friendly too.

Persephone (Phione) is surprisingly cheerful and curious. She doesn't seem as sad as the other Cubones and she hasn't evolved into a Marowak either. Maybe the two things are tied together? either way Persephone is incredibly friendly and loves to play. Sometimes if she needs attention she'll beat you with her bone, or beat it against something else to make noise.

Apolla is frightened of a lot. She doesn't like battling and usually just cowers away when anything unexpected happens. She does love Ivy, and Ivy is the only one that can make her feel safe.

Oooo I just realized, I see potential relationships starting already XD (though I'm not one to usually write romances).

Probably a suggestion for the vague personality thing, is that if at the beginning your character acts a certain way, make sure to maintain a certain stature unless if you give hints otherwise. ;) Just a thought anyway.
 
Feign I think Elliot will end up pissing Angel off to no end (to which I already thought up a hilarious plotline to remedy, but Elliot would be scared the rest of their time their of Angel.). Yes, I do know what you mean about seeing blooming relationships before the RP has even started, there are characters just THAT compatible. Believe me. The stranded island thing has already given me so many ideas for sideplots.
