The History of this Land
Humans think they have explored everything. But far to the west of Johto is a small region that is not known by mankind, containing only Pokemon. However, that doesn't mean that it is a completely perfect paradise. There are still Pokemon with different ideas, bad intentions to one group, but just to them. By the others, these Pokemon are called "The Tainted." The Tainted often were hungry for power over this region. However, those that were against The Tainted, called The Pure by themselves, wanted to keep the land in what they considered peace, which was with no battles to the death. Neither group would stop at anything to get what they desired. So they continued to fight.
Eventually, The Tainted began to emerge victorious. The Pure were almost out of hope. Suddenly, a small, glowing figure began to fade into the air in front of the two groups. Many Pokemon recognized this as a legendary being; Mew, who created life. The huge battle stopped for the most part. Except for a highly-ranking Pokemon in The Tainted. He was a Sableye, resistant to almost all of Mew's attacks. As I said, they would stop at nothing. This Sableye began to fight Mew alone. At first, he was losing, but the Sableye did not give up. He defeated Mew, and that's when everything began to change.
Slowly, the once-green region began to turn into a wasteland. Before Mew was defeated, it had left a bit of its own life behind to try and save the region. This was called the Essence of Mew. And with the Essence, Mew left a prophecy: "Two for each season, surrounding this planet on which we live, may restore the world with this Essence." And with the help of Celebi, Mew's lingering spirit looked into the future and chose eight Pokemon to journey for the Essence.
The Present
Now, 6 years later, the story of The Tainted and The Pure is only old lore... mostly. The land is still barren, and Pokemon struggle to survive, especially herbivores. There is little hope for them, except for the eight Pokemon that Mew's spirit had chosen. No one but Mew and Celebi know of these Chosen; Mew is planning to send a prophetic dream to those who must leave. Something to draw them to a small shrine where Mew's voice may be heard. However, Mew won't let them just get the essence; no, that would be too easy. It has to put these Pokemon to the test. However, if the Tainted are sneaky enough, they may follow…
Rules
Form:
Name: Your character's name. No codename is required [you'll see one in my form which is why I mention this]
Gender: Male or Female
Species: What kind of Pokemon?
Allegiance: Protagonist (those that have been chosen by Mew) or Antagonist (those that follow the above mentioned Pokemon)
Appearance: This only needs to be a few words, since it only requires details that are different from normal. However, you can go all out and describe the Pokemon itself if you wish!
Personality: At least three sentences, please.
History: Four sentences minimum.
Role-Play example: What's your average RP post like? Please put it in spoiler tags.
Gift: Protagonists only. Antagonists, put N/A
My form:
Name: Shei (codename: The Demon's Claw)
Gender: Female
Species: Mightyena
Allegiance: Protagonist
Appearance: Due to her gift from Mew, she has extremely long claws, giving her the codename that she had gotten from her pack.
Personality: Shei retains her slightly arrogant attitude from when she was leader of her pack. However, she cares for others and tries to do what's best for them. She is brave and isn't afraid to lead her pack, or any group otherwise, into battle; however, she can be very rash when it comes to fighting, and is likely to start a fight when there doesn't need to be one. Quick to judge, she often assumes what someone is like by their appearance. She doesn't like strangers much, since she's used to being around people she knows. Quiet, Shei prefers not to speak unless asked a question or giving orders. It's hard to make friends with her, but once you do, she is very loyal if you're a higher rank, and caring if you are lower-ranking. Short tempered, Shei is easily annoyed and snaps at the slightest things.
History: Shei was originally part of a Mightyena and Poochyena pack. However, the Alphas weren't her parents, as normal. Her father had been a loner; her mother had been within the pack. She was honored as a member as soon as she got old enough to hunt, although she lived a hard life. She had to fight off other Mightyena packs that were trying to steal her own territory, even when Shei was still a Poochyena. In one last, harsh battle, after she had evolved, the Alpha Female had been killed. In a flurry of panic, Shei was chosen to be the new Alpha Female. From then on she had led her pack bravely, and enjoyed the life of an Alpha. However, she got used to it and became rather bossy with the others. However, when a tyrant was born into the pack, Shei was thrown from the position of Alpha Female, and became a spy instead, to watch enemy packs, and was the one that helped lead attacks against other packs.

Rules
- Bunnying – please do not control someone else's character without their permission.
- Warnings ahead of time – if you are going to leave for over a week, please PM me and I'll put it under Absences at the bottom of this post. That way I won't wonder where you are.
- Mary-Sues – No one does everything right every time, and no one lacks any flaws and is completely perfect. Please make your character realistic.
- Rating – This RP is rated G for all audiences and must stay that way. No cussing at all, and don't go overboard with violence.
- Literacy – This is a beginner RP, so I don't require you to post an overwhelming amount. However, this doesn't mean post as little as possible. I'd appreciate if you posted at least two and a half lines per post in a wide style (such as Caramel Sentret), or five lines in a narrower style (such as The Forgotten).
- Character amount – One character per person, please. Also, I will limit this RP to eight protagonists (including me) and four antagonists.
- Sign-up forms – Even though this is a beginners' RP, I would like you to at least go somewhat into detail with your forms. Make sure you put as much effort into the sign-up form as you would into your post, especially in the Role-Play example section.
- Grammar and spelling – Again, this is a beginners' RP and I don't need you to have perfect grammar. However, please at least make an effort on it.
- Protagonists – Each of these Pokemon will have a special "gift," something that gives them a quality that is different from the rest. It can be anything from long claws to super agility. Just don't make it extremely supernatural, like summoning a forest fire or flight when the Pokemon doesn't normally fly.

Role-Play example:
Spoiler:
Shei sniffed among the bracken carefully, scouting for any small morsel of prey that might be hiding. She also would keep an eye out for enemies; not like they would approach anytime soon. The Alphas had just laid the scent earlier that morning, and the sun was only a little bit up into the sky, as if it were reluctant. Come on, sun, won't you rise already? TheMightyena bared her teeth at nothing, scarlet eyes narrowed. Her nose remained to the ground, but she lifted it as she heard a howl from afar, her ears pricked. Replying with a deep howl of her own, Shei signaled that she would now return. As soon as her ally's howl ended, she lowered her head again, double-checking.
Wait a minute. There was a new scent this time. It brought back those lonely memories of the Alphas' death. Even though the Alphas had not really been her parents, as they usually were in Mightyena packs, Shei had felt close to the Alphas.
With a sharper warning howl, Shei began to dash back in the direction of her pack, checking behind her to see if the enemy was approaching. This was going to be one tiring day…
