I didn't mean a gay relationship between the 2. I said relationships also seeing what u meant with Shelby and Ivory.

I'll PM u my idea for the interaction between Elliot and Angel that would leave Elliot scarred.
 
Would it be possible for me to reserve a spot? o: I have family events to go to this afternoon, so won't be able to do anything until later on tonight... And I'm liking the look of this RP. XD
 
I'd also like to reserve a spot if that's okay. I should have my sign-up on here soon though. :]

Name: Leilani Delarosa
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Personality: Leilani is a very feisty and stuck-up individual that hates to be respectful. Many people tend to envy her though, as she comes from a fairly rich and wealthy family. She enjoys tormenting others and making herself feel superior to anyone she comes in contact with, even with her own parents. Leilani tends to have an "I-don't-care" attitude about everything, and usually only thinks of herself, unless she sees a guy that she's particularly interested in. Her stuck-up disposition bothers her mother, although she actually pretty much has the same personality as Leilani. In competition, Leilani has been to known to sabotage other contestants, and really gets a kick out of doing so. Somehow she can concoct a way to pull off her schemes while acting "sweet and innocent" enough to avoid being suspected. Leilani doesn't have many friends because of her rather rude behavior, yet her so-called "friends" that do tend to tolerate her, are really only there for her stuff. She is overly self-centered and couldn't careless about another person's feelings.

Appearance: Leilani is a very tall girl; she happens to be around 5'10"-5'11". She comes from a long line of Native Americans, so her skin is rather radiantly tan, and her dark brown, almost blackish looking hair is very soft and flowing. Leilani has dark brown eyes, although sometimes, if she's in bright sunlight, they almost give off a greenish tint as well. A pink shirt with a panda bear centered upon it, along with a white miniskirt cover her long slender body, and with a pair of pink flats as well, since she's already tall enough without shoes on. She is actually quite skinny, being around 120-130 lbs, which is considerably small for her height. Leilani will sometimes sport a pair of black sunglasses with crystals studded along the rim, but she usually only wears them while at the beach. When it's chilly out, she will wear a faux fur coat, since she believes wearing actual fur coats are unstylish, (but she does not want to admit that she has a soft spot for adorable animals.)

Bio: Leilani was born on June 26th in the Hoenn region. Most of her family still resides in the Hoenn region, but her immediate family decided to buy a mansion in the Sinnoh region a few months before the events of the roleplay. Leilani has always been sheltered by her father, who is known to be quite clingy, but her mother was typically the opposite, always going off on some important business trip and leaving them to find something to do on their own. Leilani's mother, Ivana, owns one of the world's most luxurious spa centers and is known to be a real female dog to her workers, often firing them for rather ridiculous reasons although she pays pretty well. Leilani knew and had seen her mother's personality on numerous occasions and really took a liking to the way her mother was in charge of everyone, making Leilani want to be the same way. So one could come to the conclusion that Leilani's personality actually stems from the way her mother acts.

Recently, Ivana asked Leilani to go to one of her "soon-to-be-opened" spa centers in Johto to observe and see how things are progressing, as she doesn't have enough time to go on her own. Leilani gladly accepted the task and saw the perfect opportunity by taking a ferry that would be leaving from Canalave City, which wasn't too far from where they stayed.

Pokemon:

Houndour
Wormadam (Sandy Cloak)

Pokemon Info:

Houndour – Houndour has been with Leilani for quite a while now; it has been almost two years since she's received Houndour as a birthday gift from her father. Leilani enjoys the company of Houndour, as it's very trustworthy and protects Leilani from harm whenever necessary. Leilani doesn't battle often though, so Houndour has remained unevolved as a result. Houndour tends to be prideful and overconfident, yet it's typically very clumsy.

[FONT=&quot]Wormadam (Sandy Cloak) – Wormadam was captured as a Burmy by Leilani, although it was actually somewhat of an accident. She believed the Burmy was some kind of exotic plant that she had never seen before, and tried to get it for herself when she noticed that it was actually a Pokemon that was turned around. The Burmy took a liking to Leilani once it saw her, and would not leave Leilani alone whatsoever, so she just decided to capture it but it is probably the lesser used of the two Pokemon she owns. Burmy evolved into Wormadam almost a week after Leilani captured it, as the Burmy thought if it evolved Leilani would appreciate it more, but this proved to be false. [/FONT] Wormadam has a very quirky and upbeat personality, almost like a cheerleader.

I have fixed mine, please tell me if i am acceped.

also is this like lost in the blue? where we have to find a way off, or just try to live there, and is like "no people there" like the island of gaint pokemon "no people there"?
 
Sounds interesting, i'll post a sign-up later, if I may.

Also, are you familiar with Advance Wars? The character I plan on playing is very similar to Andy, if you know who that is.
 
I'd like to reserve a spot but I fear I'm too late (god DARN those kids).

EDIT: Here's my SU. I hope she isn't too similar to other characters (I admit, I only skim-read through the other profiles) and I am a bit worried that there might be too many girls? I could recreate another character if that is an issue...

Name: Selena Menhassen
Gender: Female
Age: 16

Personality:
Selena is what she would call "laid-back" and what everyone else would call "lazy", Normally, she completely lacks any motivation and would rather simply lay about and wait for everything to do itself, perhaps reading a book in the mean time or listening to her favourite tunes. Not a lot of things outside of fiction interest her, especially not people. She might have met someone very important but it's doubtful she would remember. Sometimes however, she pretends she's forgotten things and people for certain reasons, be it embarrassment or to try and put herself in a psychologically superior position (she read about that in a book once). Selena likes things to move at her own pace; she complains if someone is going too fast or, rarely, too slow for her liking. However, when something does catch her interest, she becomes very energetic on the matter and surprisingly strong-willed at times, considering her default persona.

She isn't a dominating person, but she'd rather not be spoken down to. She dislikes people knowing too much about her unless she knows a lot about them in return. This can lead to her seeming closed off, which might in a sense be true, but it is not something she tries to achieve. She is an intelligent human being by nature, yet this is often offset by her lack of substantial knowledge as she finds studying far too dull. She usually only remembers what she had read in a book or seen on TV, both of which provide indirect ways for her to learn.

Selena likes to look nice although she abhors make-up (too troublesome to put on in her opinion). She enjoys looking at and wearing stylish clothes and greatly dislikes getting dirty. Despite her love of fashion, if there is something she doesn't like, she won't have anything to do with it no matter how popular it is. This extends to her thoughts on most things in the world.
Her temperament is usually mild-mannered, mostly due to her previously mentioned laziness, but also slightly arrogant. She can get along fine with other mild-mannered people but extremists who too happy, too angry, too nice, too quiet etc. tend to get on her nerves (perhaps hinting at her being slightly hypocritical). She usually won't act on this annoyance but she will treat the offender at arm's length. Selena's whole sense of humour revolves around sarcasm which she sometimes pulls off a little too subtly. Often times she might try and make overs uncomfortable through sarcasm or other such means. Again, this is often to try and take a psychologically superior state. Selena gets more frustrated than angry which could lead to her verbally lashing out at people, even if she likes them.

Appearance:

Selena is around 5'7" with her jet black hair fairly long, tickling her back between her shoulder blades, streaked with crimson dye. Her dark brown eyes stand out like gem stones against her light skin. Her body is fairly curvy and she is generally considered rather attractive. She usually wears a rather bored expression on her face.
When given the chance, she would change her outfit every day. Her normal attire consists of a jean miniskirt and dark tights with a black tank top. Topping it all off, she usually wears a large, fashionable red beret with her hair hidden inside it, framing her face with a few bangs of dark and red hair. She uses a dark blue hip bag with various pockets for the standard array of items and travel equipment. Attached to the bag is her Poketch: the standard girl's model with a Phone app (this will be broken so no worries). Her bag is filled mostly with alternate clothes rather than much to do with travelling. She does pack some snacks for her and her Pokemon though, as well as whatever set of books she's reading.

Bio:

Selena grew up in the city of Goldenrod due to her flamboyant father owning a large chain of shops, both convenience and otherwise. Although their family wasn't one to flaunt their money, Selena lived a rather comfortable life. She had herself a large bedroom, filled with plushies (one of which she always keeps with her) and books (always has several on hand). She grew up a rich girl with a simple life. She often had some maids accompanying her which might have led to the development of her laziness. Selena didn't see the point in joining the masses and going on some petty little "adventure" with her Pokemon, much to her parents' delight. She always figured that if anything interesting was going to happen in her life, it would come to her – without her having to traipse around in the mud and battle wave after wave of competitors. So she was content to live and wait.

Recently however, her patience has started to wear out. She was beginning to get bored of everything; her big comfortable house; her ever-present maids; the parties with other rich snobs; even her very interesting parents were beginning to bore her. Her mother had been an adventurer who had many close run-ins with danger so often told exciting tales. But there was only so much a girl could stand after twelve!

So she began travelling at 15. Not adventuring, just travelling, often by train, plane or car. Mostly to other clean and famous cities, looking for something interesting. But she was done with Johto within the year and Kanto looked decidedly boring as a whole (she had frequently visited Celadon and Saffron many times before for their shopping). So she struck out towards Sinnoh via jet. The history of the place greatly intrigued her, so it was with some reluctance that she agreed to come home at her parent's call. She didn't know what they were calling her for. Would she ever?

Pokemon:

Kero / Slakoth (Lax Nature): Selena received Kero as a present from her father one Christmas long ago. The two get along very well due to their rather similar natures. He, like most Slakoth and his master, loves to simply laze about and enjoy the sun. He prefers nature a little more to the urban environment favoured by Selena, by isn't too fussed. After all, getting angry and doing something would require effort. Unbeknownst to Selena, Kero is quite strong and very capable of handling himself in a battle – providing he doesn't have to do it too fast.

Virtua / Porygon (Timid Nature) : Selena won this rare Pokemon during one of her trips to Celadon. Virtua is a happy and easy-going Pokemon, probably because of its master rubbing off on it. Virtua might come across as a bit cowardly but this is because of its complete lack of experience as Selena never battles.

Name: Thomas Mitchell
Gender: Male
Age: 16

Personality: Thomas is an easy-going person, nothing seems to get to him. He also is quite intelligent, although he doesn't apply himself, so his intelligence tends to be hidden from most everyone. He doesn't really appreciate being told what to do, and acts on his own whenever possible. Thomas tends to ignore most problems around him, unless they either directly affect him, or if he sees a point in paying attention to it. Thomas will get very restless if he stays in one area for too long, and for this reason, he likes to travel a bit, never staying in one place for too long. Although, the only time he won't get restless is if he's near the ocean, he grew up near the ocean, so he is more apt to stick around the area for relaxation. Good weather is a friend of his, and on nice days, he will almost always be outside relaxing, or training his pokemon.

When Thomas meets new people, he generally takes a few looks at them, and decides quickly whether or not he should bother sticking around them. Luckily, he has always had a good sense for these kinds of things, so he never really has to deal with another headache, much to his liking. When Thomas finds someone that he likes to be around, he will be kind and go out of his way to make a good impression. But, when he finds someone he doesn't appreciate, Thomas makes it a point to be sure that they want nothing to do with him, so that he will have no headaches in the future(In case you couldn't tell, he doesn't like headaches). Thomas prefers the company of the select group of people he likes, and his pokemon of course.

Thomas has a low resistance to annoyance, and will usually make it known when he is annoyed at someone, either by telling them, or force, if necessary. Also, because of his policy towards strangers, he isn't a very popular person, and this disturbs him. Thomas does like attention, although he isn't very good at expressing this desire.

Appearance: Thomas is 6 foot 4 inches tall, has an athletic build, and straight, dirty blond hair, that goes just under his eyes, and to the middle of his neck. The hair in front of his eyes is cut shorter, because it was just too annoying having to wave his hair out of the way, just to see. Because of his love of relaxing, he generally dresses for relaxation as well. He wears a pair of baggy blue jeans, a white t-shirt with the sleeves cut off(sleeves annoy him), a pair of black shoes that keep his feet nice and warm, and a necklace. The necklace is shaped like a tear(think cascade badge, just darker and transparent) and is one of his favored items, losing it would make him quite sad.

Life in the tropics has given him a nice tan, and a horrible resistance to the cold. His eyes are a dark blue color, and usually give the impression that he is bored all the time.

Bio: Thomas' early life was spent in Olivine City, and was a very easy-going existence. His parents were very much like Thomas, and usually encouraged whatever it was that he wanted to do, which honestly, wasn't much. Thomas would often take walks along the beach, or relax in the shade, rarely interacting with people, though. When he turned 13, his parents decided to move to a place called Sunyshore City, in a place that Thomas had never heard of; Sinnoh. Once arriving in Sunshore, Thomas found the climate to be much like it was in Olivine, so there weren't too many complaints on his end. However, living in a new place did have a few down sides, namely, no friends. Although Thomas didn't exactly have a crowd of friends in Olivine, he did have some friends, so he took to wandering the beaches, and spent most of his time interacting with the various water type pokemon there.

Two years later, Thomas had gotten tired of staying in the same place all the time, and brought his attention to the various kids who had left over the years to begin a pokemon journey. This interested him greatly, and he made up his mind to start a pokemon journey with one of the pokemon he hung out with more then any of the others, a Squirtle. Getting his parents to agree with his plan didn't take much doing, and they went to the local pokemart to get some pokeballs to start Thomas off with.

Leaving Sunyshore City on a pokemon adventure wasn't as easy as Thomas had thought it would be, often he would be beaten by other trainers, though in the first few months as a trainer, Thomas grew to develop a love of battling with his pokemon friends. Of course he realized that training was just as important as actually battling other pokemon, so he practiced with his pokemon constantly, and his efforts were rewarded when Squirtle evolved a few months later. It was at this point in time that Thomas became interested in going back to Johto, as he was getting bored of the Sinnoh region, and wanted to see what challenges awaited there, as well as visiting Olivine to see what his old home was like after the years he was gone.

Pokémon:
Wartortle, Male.
Aipom, Male.

Pokémon Info:
Wartortle- Wartortle is a very calm and relaxed pokemon, much like his trainer. He loves to train, and is very level-headed in battle. He appreciates the quiet, and loves to swim at night. Wartortle also has a slight weakness for Tamato Berries, for some reason. Highly loyal to his trainer.

Aipom- Aipom is a very energetic pokemon, and always eager to learn new things. He is a very fast pokemon, and like Thomas, also shares a love of battling. On the few occasions when he isn't bouncing off the walls, he will be relaxing with Wartortle and Thomas. He hates being cramped, and prefers to stay out of his pokeball whenever possible. He is also quite loyal to Thomas.

(Please tell me if anything is off, and I shall edit quickly!)

Name: Astor "Kaze" Zephaire

Gender: Male

Age: Twenty years, eight months and twenty-three days old, as of the time of the catastrophe. The male is extremely precise when it comes to announcing his age, for reasons unbeknownst to the rest of the world.

Personality: To remark that Kaze is a character is perhaps quite an understatement; his eccentric erraticism renders him as predictable as a tropical storm, and leaves as much chaos in his wake. Armed with a tongue capable of dishing out sarcastic quips, insulting jokes and charming remarks all in one sentence (and the capacity to be able to talk for ages without pausing for breath), it is rare to see him silent whilst in social situations (indeed, the only time he is relatively sedate is when it is raining). This makes him extremely irritating and overbearing to many, as he is prone to putting his foot where he shouldn't, offending others, and generally invoking hostility which results in the male having to avoid being punched in the face.

His flamboyancy and tendencies to speak his (unstable) mind are merely how he was raised, encouraged to have little inhibitions and to be true to himself. Therefore, Kaze despises fakes, people who put on a facade and stab their so-called 'friends' in the backs. Despite seeming brash and insensitive, however, Kaze is in tune with his own emotions and gets hurt just as any other person would. He feels that love is a sacred thing that can warm any heart, and often makes spontaneous gestures to people of either gender when he believes that they need a pick-me-up (often, he will conjure flowers, compose a not-so complimentary but honest poem, or serenade them with his tone deaf tenor's warble). Otherwise, he enjoys interrupting others' conversations, their business- pretty much their lives in order to gain attention. He is not a deliberate or vindictive attention seeker- his outgoing nature essentially is a result of being nurtured by a performing family. Also, the more rejection he faces, the more he strives to be accepted, and therefore subconsciously intensifies his personality to try and convince people to like the real him.

Anger and sadness do not plague this particular man, as he possesses a positive outlook on life and adamantly resists being overcome by the insecurities and fears that he will end up alone in life- travelling around the world is not an ideal lifestyle in which one can form solid and true friendships. He is prone to becoming malicious and spiteful when irked to a certain extent, but this is a rare occurrence, as his mind is too flighty to linger on one subject for more than a few moments. Kaze's greatest sins are gluttony and envy, though one would have a hard time believing that upon seeing him with his perpetual, goofy smile.

Appearance: Kaze is a true ectomorph, his body composition having a low fat and muscle ratio in addition to his petite, compact bone structure that renders him very short in stature in comparison to other males his age- or indeed, many males over the age of fourteen. Therefore, he is classified in cruder terms as a 'scrawny midget' or 'runt', though the latter is actually an endearing nickname that was assigned to him by his family as he and his siblings were growing up. He stands at a modest five feet, five inches, having inherited his mother's height rather than the long-limbed, lanky stature of his father. Give or take the odd fluctuation, the male weighs approximately one hundred and twenty-four pounds.

His complexion is neither tanned nor pallid, and no freckles or moles dapple his skin. However, his torso and abdomen are marred by a scar which stretches almost vertically from his lower clavicle to the top of his left hip-bone- Kaze possesses no insecurities as far as the disfigurement goes, and will happily wander around shirtless, as if he is proud of the mark. Yet he will never answer queries as to how the injury was sustained; Kaze will always chuckle loudly (and obviously forcedly) and blather on about something completely unrelated.

Perhaps the most striking feature concerning the male (other than being vertically challenged) is the crop of bright red hair which sprouts from his scalp. Most of the time, it conforms to the untamed layered style that Kaze prefers to sport, though when wet, it loses its volume and becomes flat. The strands within the longest layers tickle his shoulder blades, those in the shortest flick upwards- almost against gravity. He is prone to adding an accessory to the mop upon his head- often a hair clip or band that has been swiped from the dressing rooms of his sisters. The more it glitters, the more likely it is to be included in his ensemble.

Kaze's irises are a dull blue in colour, but his eyes are perpetually filled with energy, enthusiam and mischief. Long, doll-like lashes encompass his eyes, framed by thin, red eyebrows which only enhance his effeminate visage- Kaze can more or less conform to the requirements for the 'androgynous' category, thanks to his delicate features in juxtaposition with the masculinity of his frame (a lack of curves, and relatively broad shoulders). Often, he is mistaken for a girl- this is enhanced by his heart-shaped face, soft cheekbones, a small nose, and Cupid's Bow-shaped lips.

The male is unafraid to wear garments which suit his appearance- this includes the clothing that is typically reserved for the opposite gender (particularly during the summer months). People often raise their eyebrows when they spy him parading about in a skirt or a dress, but as Kaze protests, he is equipped with a pair of legs that could carry off such a look. Generally however, he will don elaborate, flamboyant cloaks that you would expect a magician from a fictional novel or television series to wear, along with ruffled shirts and tailored suits. But when feeling particularly uninhibited (which is ninety percent of the time), Kaze will exchange certain garments for others beneath his capes. Shirt for a mere bandana fastened about his neck, for example. Smart trousers for Hawaiian shorts. Boots for flip flops. In short, his clothing choice reflects his personality; gregarious, over the top, and erratic. Finally, Kaze (unsurprisingly) is a fan of make-up- whether this be due to his family's career or a true personal preference, it still pertains to the fact that eyeliner, glittery mascara and nail polish are two things he will often use to enhance his appearance.

Bio: Astor "Kaze" Zephaire is the second-oldest child of Nikolai and Circe Zephaire, a duo who were both part of a travelling circus prior to their marriage and the birth of their children. Upon Kaze's elder sister coming into the world, the pair decided to branch off from the circus and create their own troupe, and all Zephaire children that followed were encouraged into the spotlight- each exhibiting their own special talent. Whilst not particularly famous internationally, the troupe are well-acclaimed, and do have a small legion of fans. Kaze is an acrobat who possesses the knowledge of simple magic skills, though specialises mostly in tumbling and the high wire, as he has a great deal of balance, co-ordination and flexibility (whilst performing; the skills seem to desert him upon leaving the 'stage'). His nickname (and preferred name) comes from a Japanese word for 'wind', pertaining to the nature of his act.

Though born in the Hoenn region, Kaze lived on the road. His family were constantly on the move, sharing their arts in a bid to raise enough money to survive on and sustain their show. Despite this, Kaze had a decent childhood- there was always someone around for him to interact with, and his parents loved each of their brood equally and unconditionally.

There were the occasional mishaps, which were guaranteed when the nature of his act was taking into consideration; once or twice he dislocated a shoulder, and Kaze spent five months incapacitated after fracturing an ankle at the age of thirteen years, eleven months and two days. However, his eventual return to the spotlight was successful, and the physiotherapy he had been subjected to was worth the expense.

Kaze never held much of an interest in Pokemon as a child, and did not obtain one of the creatures until his fifteenth birthday. His first partner was a rather sinister-looking Sneasel with a lazy eye, who he promptly nicknamed 'Stan'. Stan joined Kaze in his act, developing a bond with the human to the extent that he didn't mind wearing boots, leotards and a cape that matched those of his companion, and a pirate's eyepatch during the period of time Kaze spent trying to remedy the Sneasel's sight.

However, all happiness must be terminated abruptly at some point or other- Kaze's life was twisted upside down when he was framed for arson by a member of Team Magma after the troupe stayed in Lilycove City. It was simply a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, but Kaze's attitude and weak alibi rendered him as the prime suspect. Wanting to evade prison and shaming his family, who he treasured above everything else, Kaze stole a local Wailmer and fled the city. Since that night, eighteen months have passed, and he has managed to relocate to the Sinnoh region without revealing himself. However, strange phone calls to the house he, Stan and Wailmer have been residing in have caused him a great deal of unsettlement, and he has traversed to Canalave City in order to escape once again.

Pokémon:
Stan the Sneasel
Cal-Cal the Wailmer

Pokémon Info:
Stan (Sneasel): Stan can't help but look especially odd, especially with eyes that are closer together and more slanted than is normal for a Sneasel. They seem to glare into your very soul if you stare into them, and those who have shared a room with Kaze have often awoken during the night and discovered the Pokemon staring at them with a grin of bloodlust. Despite his appearance however, he is partial to classical music and watching Western films on the ancient television in Kaze's 'house'. He has a quirky nature at the very least, mirroring the eccentricity of the companion with whom he has spent five years.

Cal-Cal (Wailmer): Cal-Cal is the stolen Wailmer who carried Kaze away from his injust, guilty sentence. Perhaps the brains of the trio with a serious nature, Wailmer allowed Kaze to officially capture him after hearing the man relay the series of events on their journey away from Lilycove. He resents the fact that Kaze insists on using him as part of his act (which he still practices religiously), often ending up as the crash mat or trampoline. Nevertheless, Cal-Cal has grown to love Kaze, despite the terrible nickname he has been given.

Kiarra: I like Kaze, he's a very 'interesting' character to say the least, you are accepted.

Guardian: Might I ask you why you posted that?
 
Thank you. XD Now I can go to sleep, with my mind frazzled from all that work I made it do. :3
Also!

Grammar Nazi #3 reporting for duty, Ma'am. :D

-will shut up now- XD
 
(Okay, so... Yeah... Not exactly original and pulls a lot of inspiration from different sources... I hope it's okay! Also, her hair was originally black... But it seemed enough characters had that color ;))

Name: Calliope (kahl LEE o peh) Baham
(most people call her Calli)

Gender: hermaphrodites female

Age: 16

Personality: (subject to change over the RP as I tend to develop my character as I get to know them through RPing)
(please bear with the contradictions, for they shall be explained ;))

Calliope has a bright and cheery disposition. She is very social and will do anything she can to please others. She is quick to befriend others. Calliope is slow to lose her temper, though she won't hesitate to throw a few insults at someone who rubs her the wrong way. She often shrugs off a bad situation by wandering off somewhere and singing. She tends to be cool and calm, usually not allowing anything to bother her. Her demeanor allows her to get along with Pokemon rather well. She is rather caring of others, but tends to express it in a rather in-your-face sort of way, thus causing people to become annoyed with her. Many people could describe her personality as that of somebody who is constantly in love, but Calliope is rather sheltered about her true emotions by not allowing anybody to get close to her through her fast-paced carefree actions.

Calliope is cold and calculating. She is constantly watching the behavior of others, reading them for any sign of hostility or any sign that they may be dangerous. She tends to shy away from contact with other people and prefers solitude away from all except her Pokemon. Calliope is quick to grow angry and small things can bring her to tears or blind rage. She will lie motionless for hours on end unless somebody comes to rouse her, in which case she typically gets up and wanders off some other place to be alone. When she does speak to others, she is sarcastic and cruel and often ends the conversation by yelling or breaking down in tears. For obvious reasons, Calliope doesn't get along with people so well.

Calliope usually acts as first described: carefree and an overall happy teenager. But occasionally... her emotions switch to that which was latter described. It can last anywhere from a moment to up to a week on-and-off and is often triggered by seemingly insignificant things. She also suffers from night-terrors and sometimes wakes up screaming and lashing at anybody who happens to be nearby.

Appearance: Calliope has piercing green eyes with golden flecks that tend to change shades slightly based on the weather and her emotions (not many people notice this) that tip up slightly on the outside edges like a cat's. Calliope is rather tall for her age, standing around the height of 5'9", and has a rather slender build, though she has rather muscular arms and legs from the work she did back home and the amount of swimming she does. She has incredibly blonde hair that flows down her back, cutting off abruptly at the small of her back. It appears to be silver in the moonlight and her parents were amazed by her hair color as nobody in their family had ever had anything but black hair for generations. While her hair is usually pin-straight, it becomes wavy in humidity and she likes to wear it back as well as leave it down much of the time, typically wearing it in a braid wrapped up like a bun when she wants it out of the way. Her complexion is rarely pale and she is quick to grow tan as she spends more time out in the sun.

Calliope wears a white kimono with green vines winding through it adorning flowers of various colors and wears an emerald green sash. She wears simple white sandals with her outfit, though her feet are so calloused that she often goes without them. The sleeves of her kimono are slightly smaller than that of an average one and they are slit at the bottom to her elbows. Calliope wears her kimono more as a robe and therefore wears a blue tank-top and black capris underneath it. Her earrings are made of a purple stone and can hold two of her PokeBalls when she makes them as small as they can go. She wears a silver chain around her neck which holds her Ninetales' PokeBall. Calliope has a bag decorated with glass beads that she typically wears across her chest. Though it originally held seeds for Berry plants and natural remedies, Calliope lost track of the things that she left inside and doesn't remember what's in it.

At first glance, Calliope looks as though she hadn't suffered so much as a scraped knee in her life. But upon closer inspection, signs of injury are evident. She has pale white scars on her hands and forearms and faint ligature marks on her neck. She has a long scar that stretches down her back from between her shoulder blades to her right hip and Calliope usually tries to keep it covered as best as she can.

Bio: Calliope Baham was raised on a small island on the coast of Johto close enough to see the mainland from their house, allowing them to travel between them as often as they wish. Her father inherited the land from his parents and he moved there with his wife to take over their family's business of growing berries and creating natural remedies. When Calliope was born, their Vulpix immediately immediately took a liking to her. Calliope always played with the Pokemon and Vulpix in turn watched over Calliope and made sure she didn't wander off or get hurt. Calliope began singing at a young age, her mother teaching her all the songs that she knew as her daughter's gift grew. Calliope helped her parents work on their berry farm and learned how to make potions and other medicines out of the berries.

Now Calliope had lived on the island for most of her life with very little contact with the mainland, and she dreamed of traveling across the regions from a very young age. When she was ten, Calliope's father decided to bring her along to deliver their medicines to the mainland. But when Calliope got there, everything went wrong. Calliope and Vulpix played in the town where her father was doing business. Suddenly a man appeared, grabbing Calliope. Vulpix attempted to defend her, but was left paralyzed by the man's Luxray. For the next day, Calliope was beaten relentlessly and starved nearly to the point of death. The man then strangled Calliope and left her for dead. Calliope's father found her and brought her to a hospital where she survived her physical injuries. Her mental injuries, however, remained. She frequently had night terrors about her experiences and her emotions remained fragile. Her parents did whatever they could to help her through what had happened and Calliope finally learned how to cope with it.

When Calliope turned sixteen, the urge to travel through all the different regions returned. Her parents finally allowed her to make deliveries for them in Johto and gradually let her travel farther away. Calliope traveled with Vulpix and they found a Fire Stone and Vulpix evolved. Calliope traveled to Sinnoh where she made a large delivery to the professor there and received a Piplup as payment. On her way back, she encountered a Gible (who she suspected to have been released by a Coordinator) and captured her. She was taking the Luisia back home and was planning on traveling through Johto to go to the opposite side where her father would have a boat to get her back home.

However, things never seem to work out as planned.

Pokémon Info:
Ninetales: Ninetales is a calm Pokemon that often goes over to Calliope to comfort her. She keeps a watchful eye over her trainer to make sure that she doesn't get hurt in any way, emotional or physical, and will defend Calliope against her attacker. She is cold toward almost every other trainer and keeps a wary eye on any males who may be around. She is rather kind to Calliope's other Pokemon, though she does often become annoyed with their constant bickering and break up their fighting sessions. Ninetales has a slightly more slender build than most Ninetales, allowing her to be more limber and swift. She has a white mark on her forehead in the shape of a star, but otherwise she doesn't look any different from any other Ninetales. She came from a long line of female Vulpixes that dwelled in Calliope's family for several generations. A Baham would find a Fire Stone and give it to the Vulpix and she would evolve. She would then live in the Baham family until all the children were grown and then one day she would disappear, leaving behind the egg of another Vulpix.

Piplup: Even though Piplup is the only male Pokemon Calliope has, he is the biggest crybaby of them all. If a Pokemon of person steals something from him, he will throw a tantrum until he gets it back or faints from exhaustion. He does care about Calliope, but when she becomes upset, he becomes upset as well and breaks down. This obviously doesn't help his trainer very much. He is constantly following his trainer around, begging for attention. But if Calliope doesn't give him attention, he goes off and finds another trainer to harass. When not upset about something, Piplup does have a rather bright disposition and will skip around chirping merrily. He listens to his trainer rather well and is willing to help her with whatever she asks. Calliope received Piplup as payment from a Professor who ordered natural remedies from her family.

Gible: Gible is the biggest showoff of the group. She goes around showing off her moves to anybody who will watch, and sometimes to people who won't. Gible will often try to cheer up Calliope with her tricks, but becomes sad as well if her trainer isn't happy. She also enjoys getting on other Pokemon's nerves. In fact, Calliope found Gible when she stole Piplup's Pecha berry. Piplup began trying to attack Gible, but Gible started rolling around and making Piplup dizzy. Ninetales trapped Gible and brought her over to Calliope, who took the Pecha berry and gave it back to Piplup. Gible continued to follow them for several days, pulling pranks on Piplup, until Calliope had Piplup battle her and captured her. Gible is cheeky toward most people and pulls pranks on everybody she can and often gets in fights with Piplup for stealing something from him.

@Mira: It looks like a nice and solid character. I would wish you would elaborate a little more on the personalities, because they are mainly two instead of just one. Also, it would be good to read over a post for the little grammar errors. If your Bio is as solid as the rest, you will be accepted.

@Guardian: This is not an OOC thread so please refrain from posting useless things here. If you think something is funny, post it somewhere else.
 
That's fine, I work today anyway, so there might not be too much going on until later.
 
I finished my SU and made a few edits as well. Sorry about Ninetales' history. It was an ADD moment ;)
 
Mira, you are accepted.

Also, I need everyones Sign Up's today, because I want to start this,
If not than I think I will open up the reserved spots.
