    The Archon Region!​

    Introduction​

    Hello, and welcome to my newest RP! This is basically a journey-style roleplay set in my brand new super special awesome region known as Archon (pronounced Are-kon). This is only my third RP (the other two having failed spectacularly) so if you think of a way it could be improved, let me know!​

    Plot​

    The Archon region is beginning to rebuild itself after a long period of war and struggle, due to fighting between the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh regions over who should claim this new land. Finally, after wars and negotiations, Archon has been established as its own country, under its own rule. This may not be a good thing however.​

    During the war years, the fight for Archon's independence was led by a man known as Malcolm Gray. His methods, though clearly not legal, were effective and as such were strongly backed by the new settlers. Now, however, he has taken what he claims to be his rightful place as the King of Archon and is determined to keep it by any means necessary. Though most Archonians have turned against him, the newly created army backs Gray and this can only mean trouble.​

    So where do you fit into this? As one of the newest settlers, you are being 'encouraged' by Gray's men to start your journey as soon as possible. After all, most of the world's economy is built on Pokemon Training and Battling, so more trainers will mean a richer country. Whether willingly or not, your journey is about to begin!​





    Rules
    • Spelling and grammar is a biggie for me. Occasional typos are fine but its not hard to run a quick spellcheck on Word.
    • If you're playing as a Mary-sue, I will tell you in no uncertain terms. And that means you'd better shape up.
    • If you want to introduce something into the RP (such as TMs or eggs) then ask me first. Don't expect these near the beginning though.
    • Shinys are allowed. This will be explained more later.
    • Be active. I really want a post every three days, but I'll warn you after a week and kick after ten days if there's been no activity. If you're going somewhere where you can't get internet, let me know first.
    • Similarly, don't join if you're going to drop out later. If you do drop out, you aren't coming back in :\
    • I'll be saying what Pokemon appear and where. Also, when you're catching a Pokemon, you end your post with the Pokemon entering the Pokeball. You can fight the wild Pokemon, but I will be the one who decides if you catch it or not and how powerful it is depending on the quality of your post.
    • No legendaries
    • Five Roleplayers. FIVE. I know there are more than five starters, that's just to add some more choice.
    • Have FUN! That's what its all about, right?

    Starters​

    The bit you've been waiting for...to add an element of true fairness, Professor Cedar has obtained a variety of types from all over the world.​



    Traditional starters​

    Spoiler:



    More unusual starters​

    Spoiler:


    If you don't like any of these, then you can ask for a 'random' starter, in which case I will basically point at a big picture of all the Pokemon without looking and give you the lowest evolved form of whatever I point at (unless its a legendary). This is instead of Wild cards, not as well.​



    Random details which don't really fit anywhere else​


    • Once your character receives their Pokeballs, they effectively have an unlimited amount (think: anime)
    • Pokemon which evolve by trade/happiness/in a certain place/max beauty all evolve ten levels after you obtain them. If it requires an item to be held during a trade or to level up with an item, the item can instead be used on the Pokemon at any time to cause evolution.​
    • Errrr....Have loads of fun :D​

    Sorry, but I'd also like to reserve. Not enough time to write an SU right now.
     
    Can you also reserve me? I don't know about 5:00 though...I get home from school at 4:15. Then I have to do my homework. And I eat supper at 5:00. Would it be possible to hold the reservation a bit longer? (Please?) God I wish I had seen this sooner.
     
    Name: Shelby Blake
    Age: 15
    Gender: Female

    Appearance:

    Shelby is about 5'6", and she finds that it isn't such a bad height, even though her friends used to tease her a lot about it. Some people call her short (another joking nickname was Shorty, because of the whole height teasing thing), but she thinks it's perfectly average for a girl. Shelby has blue eyes and she wears contacts. She has glasses that she carries around with her though, incase her contacts get fogged up or start to bug her eyes too much. Her skin is a very pale color, and sometimes people say that she is her part albino. If she ever does go out in the sun a whole lot, she burns very easily and has been trying to work on it considering she knew she was going to be travelling outside a lot. Shelby didn't think it was her fault that she didn't really like to get out and go play sports, so she really couldn't care less about that.

    It is almost obvious that Shelby wasn't very gifted in the sports department. She wasn't fat, but she wasn't super skinny either, leaving her at about an average build. She also never wore makeup because she just didn't want to take the time to put the "crap" on. Her hair is brown, but it has a bit of blonde in it because she occasionally gets a few highlights. Her hair is always put up in a ponytail, because it's so long (about four or less inches above her butt) that she doesn't want it to get in her way. She basically uses the same black hair tie each day, because she doesn't want to have to worry about changing the colors with her clothes.

    Normally Shelby wears a simple T-shirt. If it is cold out or something, she might wear a jacket or hoodie that she has stored in her backpack (it's a red one with a black wolf paw on the back). The T-shirt under the sweatshirt (if she wears one) is normally red, white, or black. Red is her favorite color, so that is why she wears that color a lot. She always wears blue jeans that are torn at the end because they're so long (they go a little past her shoe sometimes, depending on the particular type of jeans she's wearing that day). They vary in color though; some of them are lighter than others. Her shoes are black on the outside with red leopard design on the tongue and they say Scarecrow on the side in red stitching (they say that because it's her nickname).

    The only real accessory she uses is a watch on her left wrist, a red and black bracelet on her right that she got from a friend, and obviously a hair tie because she always keeps her hair in a ponytail. The very last accessory she has is a necklace that she got from her best friend a long time ago. It was one of her most prized possessions, even though Shelby knew they probably weren't really friends anymore. The necklace has a bunch of different patterns in it, and the back of it is a blue color.

    She has a backpack that she bought for her upcoming travelling that she anticipated. The backpack is a shoulder bag, just a strap that she can easily slip on and off. It holds some of her personal items such as her glasses case, her clothes, and a few special trinkets that she chose to bring with her such as a small photo that she keeps tucked inside a book so it doesn't get damaged. It is a simple black color, with a few pouches to hold extra items or whatever else she decides to put in them. On the strap there are several hooks, which is where she plans to keep her Pokémon that she catches on her journey.

    Personality:

    Obviously being human Shelby has a few flaws, but she also has some really good traits. Shelby can be very quiet around people she doesn't know. Around people she does know, however, she's often pretty energetic and talkative. When someone gets her angry, she can get really fired up and mad. That's something a lot of people probably don't like about her, but she liked how she was. A lot of people like to hang around her because normally she's a pretty cool person, but they know not to get her angry.

    Shelby doesn't go for the whole makeup and looks department, because she really doesn't care that much about what other people think. Sure, she likes fitting in (as a lot of people do) but it isn't going to upset her if someone doesn't like the outfit she's wearing. This is why a lot of people call her a tomboy. Sometimes it bugs her because she doesn't feel like she's as classy and as girly as she should be like some of her old friends were, but most of the time she's proud to be one.

    Sometimes people refer to her as a sarcastic person because she always seems to be making some smart remark. Normally though, she only does that if she really doesn't like the person. Although she has to admit, sometimes it doesn't take much to get on her bad side. She's also alright with comebacks. If she ever likes someone, most of the time she spends half of her time tripping and sputtering over her words. When she does this and looks back on the particular moment, she always feels like an idiot and immediately regrets even attempting to talk to the guy, no matter how nice he may be.

    History:

    Shelby was born in the small town of Newbark. She had never really been out much, until she and her brother moved to the Archon Region. Her life was actually fairly boring, with the exception that her parents had died when she was quite young, leaving her to live with her eldest brother once he had finished his own Pokémon journey.

    Shelby had a few very close friends in Newbark. One of them had actually given Shelby a Pokémon egg, which she eventually hatched. Her brother took the Pokémon and raised it himself though, because Shelby was too young. It was then and there that she had decided to become a Pokémon trainer. When they had to move away from Newbark Town, it had made Shelby very sad because she knew she would never see any of them ever again. Finally after waiting so long, Shelby couldn't wait to get her actual first Pokemon, considering that the previous one her brother had raised himself. She was excited for her new journey, but she was also nervous as well.

    May I reserve a spot?
    I'll try to get something up something tonight.
     
    Right, then King!, Sumner, KillehKiwi, Neiko Star and Scarecrow113 are all reserved until 5PM tomorrow (sorry Neiko, but in the interests of fairness, I have to give everyone the same amount of time.)

    Century, you're just a tiny bit too late, but you'll be first place on the reserves list :D

    @scarecrow1113 - wow, brilliant SU. Tiny quibble with it -its meant to be The Local Professor (Professor Cedar) who's handing out Pokemon, not from eggs that you had years ago. Still, it was great, so you are Accepted!

    Hey ILAYM? I'm posting this now. I know that if it might not get accepted, but here it is. My SU! (Yes, it is my first SU as a female)

    Name: Hikari Shioshi

    Age: 14

    Gender: Female

    Appearence: Hikari is a very good looking girl. She has long, light brown hair with chesnut highlights in it. She's 5'6 and weights 95 pounds. She's always been good at sports, but you wouldn't know it by her torso. She has very thin arms and legs, along with a thin body. This leaves her a touch smaller than your average female, if not just a little bit taller. She wears make-up every day, making her look blemish free. She is, but it just makes her look a little bit better in her opinion.

    Hikari likes to sunbathe. She's always enjoyed getting a slight tan, but nothing more. She hates to have extremly tan skin, but regular tan is aparently fine to her. She enjoys standing out, if only just a little. She also has great vision, being 20/15, or slightly better than normal. As a result, she's never had contacts or glasses in her life. While she likes jewelry, she only ever wears one piece. A necklace, or a locket specifically. She doesn't let many people see it, though, and often tries to hide it.

    Hikari likes the color aqua. It makes up the color of her shirt, along with a design of bubbles. Under this, she sometimes wheres a thin undershirt, always white. Over it, she will wear a pink jacket if it is really cold, but perfers not to, as the color isn't exactly her favorite, like blue. For pants, she wears white capris, which tie to her lower legs. She also wears a hat. A white one with a red line all around it.

    Apart from this, Hikari doesn't have much. A pair of red running shoes, which she wears everywhere, as she's never sure when she'll be running. She also has a yellow backpack, which holds everything she needs to help with her pokemon. Finally, she wears a poketch, which she uses for a variety of features, including keeping track of time.

    Personality: Hikari was very trusting for a long time. She used to believe in everyone and everything she saw and met. This all changed at once, however, after the incident. Now, Hikari is very reserved and shy. She doensn't like to listen to people or anyone who could hurt her in the end. There are very few people she actually does believe in. Despite the air of happiness that is around Hikari when she is having fun, she has a very sad aura most other times.

    Hikari is very intelligent in terms of pokemon. She knows the type advantages and disadvantages. She is also very grown up, as she has to cook for her step family, who all work long and hard each day. As a result, she is also quite the cook. She also takes care of her step siblings, all of which are realated to her step parents and eachother by blood. Hikari feels like the outsider in this family. Lately, she's been feeling like she needs to break away.

    Hikari is very rebelleous, despite her rather timid nature. She has a strong sense of justice and doesn't like cheaters. Her very timid nature stops her from getting to know many people well, but her rebelleous nature tells her that if she was going to get to know them, they would want to be on her side. She can be very pursuasive when she wants to be and also very crafty. She will always find a way to get what she wants.

    History: Hikari was thrown out of her home when she was 7, when she was discovered to be infected by cancer at such an early age. This caused her to trust people, especially her parents, much less than she used to, which made her practically hide. She was adopted by a kind and rich family, who paid for her treatment. They nursed her back to health and raised her like their own daughter. They sent her to a pokemon boarding school for about 5 years, and when she returned, things were very different. Her step parents had difficult jobs and had to work day and night. Her step dad, a pokemon professor, was often at work. Her mother worked a radio show, causing her to be around rarely as well. As a result, Hikari had to cook for herself, her siblings and her parents each night. She was also in charge of making sure everything got done.

    Then, after about 2 years of this, when Hikari was 12, they moved to the Archon Region. Here, her father started running research trips everywhere. Her mother kept her radio job, just elsewhere. Hikari was stuck doing the same thing for 2 years. Then, her parents came home with surprises. They had gotten new jobs where they could work from home, running pokmeon lab support. As a result, they said they had a suprise for Hikari. They said she could go on the adventure she'd been waiting for all her life. Hikari had never been happier and immediatly started preperations for this adventure: her first adventure.

    RP Sample: Taken from FrozenSnowman's Ophoore Region.

    Perferred starter: I'll take anything random and hope its either fitting or completely not :D

    Hope its alright even though there's reservations...I'm sorry I didn't ask first. King! just told me about it, and it looked good, so...
     
    Name: Barry Powers
    Gender: Male (No Joke for You)
    Age: 14

    Appearance: Barry is a smidge tall for his age, having a height of 5'10". He doesn't care much about his height, and thinks that people shorter than him are just short, and that he isn't tall. He has a farmer's tan, meaning that he is tan on his arms up until his sleeve line, where his arms under his sleeve are pale. His legs are also pale. Barry's eyes are a very light brown, almost copper, color, and are rather big, pulling attention to his face. He has a small pointed nose, and his mouth is small also. Barry's hair is blond/brown-ish, and is cut short, stopping just at his ears. He has a very strong build, due to his work.
    While working, Barry wears a plain white undershirt, and torn and worn-out jeans, with his working tennis shoes. For travelling, Barry wears a yellow t-shirt with gray stripes on it, and a pair of black swoosh pants (ya' know the ones with stripes? I think they're like adidas or somethin'), along with his white and green tennis shoes. For formal events, Barry wears an orange tuxedo with matching pants and shoes.

    Personality: Barry can be a little cold to people, because of the way he was raised, but once you get to know him he'll be much kinder. He is a bit sarcastic and doesn't take some things as seriously as he should. Barry is not very impatient, and can wait for things when he has to. He isn't quick on making friends, and prefers to be alone most of the time. He likes to joke around with people, and is a little violent.
    Barry knows a lot about Pokémon because of his parents teaching him, and is fierce in battle. In battles he often forgets to care for his Pokémon and is more concerned about winning. When Barry is in battle, everything switches around. Instead of being laid back, he pushes hard. Instead of being patient, he usually can't wait for his Pokémon, and is one step ahead. Barry doesn't always treat his Pokémon the right way, and sometimes they grow a little scared of him.

    History: Barry was born and raised on a farm in Kanto. His mother died when he was two, because of a stampede of Tauros. After this, when Barry was four and older, his dad pushed him very hard and made him work hard on the farm. While Barry was working, his dad taught him how to battle with Pokémon. After Barry worked, his grandmother, who lived with them at the time, taught him about real-life skills, such as cooking, sewing, and beading. She also told him stories of his grandfather, who was a world famous explorer that disappeared 5 years before Barry's birth.

    After 7 more years of working, Barry and his father moved to Archon region, after Barry's grandmother died of an unknown illness. Barry made money by helping the townsfolk, and his father sold food at the market. 2 years later, Barry's father had a surprise for him. He was allowing Barry to go on his own adventure through Archon. "It's been hard, Barry, and I want to make it up to you", were his father's words. Barry didn't know it, but that wasn't the real reason for his father persuading him……

    Starter: Torchic, Chimchar, or Charmander all work, but all of them male please!


    RP Sample:

    Chapter 1: Just A Memory.....Right?
    Jazmine walked along the sandy path that winded towards the lab, Pyu balanced on her shoulder. "Today's the day….."Jazmine said happily. So why did she feel empty? She shook off the empty felling, and knocked on the cool metal door. "Come in!", a woman's voice called. Jazmine opened the door, and stepped inside. "Hi! I'm Jazmine and this is Pyu…we're….here for our companion Pokémon."
    Yes…..I'm Professor Willow. Here" She handed Jazmine a Pokeball with a green acorn on it, five empty Pokeballs, and a new version of the simple Pokedex. Although, this one wasn't very simple. Buttons and switches, along with a few lights and a screen, covered the complex machine. "Thanks!", Jazmine said, and quickly left. As she reached the path again, she had a strange feeling someone was watching her.
    "Let's go….Pokémon!" In a flash of red light, an acorn-looking Pokémon came out of the Pokeball. "Seedot!" it shouted. "Oh,Hi, Seedot! I'm Jazmine, your new trainer. I've seen you before….or…one of you…..ummm." She stared at the Seedot, which started walking around in circles. "Okay…." She scanned the Seedot with her Pokedex. "Seedot, the Acorn Pokémon. When it dangles from a tree branch, it looks just like an acorn. IT enjoys scaring other Pokémon. Its moves are: Bide, Harden, and Growth."the Pokedex said. "Cool!" Jazmine returned Seedot into its Pokeball. "Let's go", she said to Pyu.
    Jazmine, Pyu, and Seedot had just finished eating and were walking down the path when they were stopped by a boy, about her age. "Excuse me, miss. A long time ago...I traveled with a girl. Her name was Jazmine. For years, I've been missing her. You remind me so much of her. Would you mind telling me your name?" Jazmine quickly thought of Sam, jumped a little, then nudged Pyu on her shoulder. Pyu charged up and shocked the boy's leg. "Ow! Strong little thing, aren't you?" he asked, letting a Dratini slip off his arms, from which it proceeded to use Wrap on the Pichu, which now couldn't move. "Sorry about that, Pichu, but I need an answer...you're strong for a Pichu, though..." he whispered to Pichu's ear. It looked annoyed for a moment, but eventually calmed down. "So...will you tell me your name?" the boy asked.

    Jazmine's head spun. "Am I going mental?", she thought. She'd check and see. "Okay Pyu, Thundershock!" she said, as Pyu shocked the Dratini."Pyu...sheesh. More and more interesting. Oh well. Time to end this game. Return, Dratini. Come on out. Cranidos!" the boy said, who seemed a little excited. "Now! Smash it with Headbutt!" he yelled. She knew it could probably be Sam. The Craniados lowered its head and charged. Jazmine knew that Pyu was fast, but she also knew Cranidos was probably the fastest rock type she'd ever seen, especially with its extra boost due to the down hill turf. A rough crash later, Pyu was on the ground injured. Jazmine smiled. "Pyu!" She snapped her fingers, and Pyu immediately stood. She clapped slowly, snapped again, and Pyu jumped on her shoulder. "Okay.....maybe I'm Jazmine, maybe not. But what does it matter?"
    "It shouldn't, but I can't get it out of my head, so I'll end this quickly. Cranidos, Headbutt again. But this time, make sure it stays down," he said. Jazmine was fairly certain it was him at this point. Cranidos charged, and jumped, hitting Pyu hard in the stomach and causing it to fly back into the ground, where it charged and hit it again. "Now. I'm fairly certain you are. That's the only way it could have taken Craindos's first hit. Its obviously friendly, so it would have evolved it it wasn't everstoned. Pyu is both those things. Therefore, I think you are Jazmine Torzela. I'm...not going to tell you who I am. Yet. Well, nice catching up, Jazmine," the boy said, tossing a mint at her in a way only he could do it. "Weirdo......", Jazmine muttered, and she scooped up Pyu and ran to the nearest Pokemon Center.
     
    @ King! - great SU, you're Accepted with...Chimchar, then!

    @ sasuneuchiha - I've VMed you but I'll just reiterate; to be fair, I can't let you in but seeing as your SU was damn good, I'll let you know if anyone doesn't post their SU in time, so you can take the spot :D
     
    I know I am still on the first reserved list, but I would like to get my SU up just in case somebody backs out or can't make it.

    Name: Century
    Age: 16
    Gender: Male
    Appearance: Century is handsome in the way that could draw you in, for better or for worse. He stands in at 5'11, not extremely tall for his age, but not short either. He feels rather tall, even thought many people are a bit taller than him, but he doesn't mind. He has jet black hair, which smoothly comes over his left eye as all his hair that comes down onto his forehead is pushed to his left, creating a bit of a fringe effect. He has sharp blue eyes, which can seemingly see right through people who fake themselves, as Century has a bit of a knack for that. Underneath his right eye, a deep scar is embedded into the semi-tanned flesh of Century. His five o'clock shadow is evident, making him look older than he really is.

    Judging by his average build, you would think he would be on a pokemon adventure, as his average build would make him seem like a good candidate for an adventure. However, his build is rarely seem, as Century is usually seen in a black leather jacket, with a right breast pocket. Underneath his jacket is a shirt of his choosing, usually something in white, so it makes his outfit look more co-ordinated. He usually carries a black backpack which is slung over both of his shoulders full of supplies and food for both him and his pokemon. Over his shirt, a silver chain is visible. A plastic pendant in the shape and color of a Boulder Badge hangs from it, something with some significant meaning to it to Century. On the inside left side of his coat are holsters for his pokeballs. His pants are usually always ripped acid washed blue jeans, with large tears in the knees and a small tear on the right hamstring. His pair of black sneakers finish his outfit, worn with time.

    Personality: Century isn't one for too many words. He will certainly carry on a conversation, but he will never let on about himself without persuasion. He knows when enough is enough, and tries to stay away from talking about himself, as he doesn't want to be figured out. He goes under the moniker 'Century' to keep people from finding out about him. Whenever conversation drifts about him and his past, he will always steer it in another direction.

    He is very caring for the ones he is close to, as he is quick to form emotional bonds with certain people that attempt to break the surface with him in the right way. He cares deeply for his pokemon, and tries his very hardest to keep them in tip top shape, priding in his care of his pokemon. If he had to, he would give his own food and starve if it meant that his pokemon would be happy and fed. In battle, Century uses strategy and tries not to be rash, planning out the best moves possible so the battle goes in his favor. He will also show mercy on his opponents, not wanting to damage his opponents pokemon, trying to be as caring as possible. His commands seem calm as a slight breeze on a sunny day, never straining too much, and when he's losing, he never lets it show. However, he can show some cockiness when the battle is going in his favor, but he tries not to rub it in. Century's favorite type of pokemon is rock type, as he grew up in Pewter City, before running away to the Archon region.


    History: Century was raised in Pewter City in the region of Kanto looking up to the local Gym Leader Brock, who was more or less his idol. Century was amazed with the way Brock would handle opponents with ease and show great pride in caring for his pokemon. A trait that Century wanted. However, he had no pokemon to do so with. Century was often seen at the gym, watching the gym battles against trainers who have travelled far and wide to challenge him. At age 14, Brock noticed him as a mainstay, and one day, offered to train Century. He was ecstatic. He went home to ask his parents if he could get trained by Brock, and they said no.

    Century begged and begged and begged, but they wouldn't budge. This enraged Century, who wanted this opportunity so bad, but his parents said no because they thought pokemon 'promoted violence'. This angered Century so bad, he ran away. He managed to find his way to Vermillion City, and caught the first boat out, the boat that brought him to the Archon region. He had only heard of the region before, and now that he was on it himself, it was surreal.

    It took him a bit to adjust, but just when he was about settled, he was approached by one the members of Gray's army, telling him to get to Professor Cedar's lab to get their first pokemon to start their pokemon quest, as pokemon training and battling is a large part of the economy. Century didn't argue, as he went to Cedar's lab and got his first pokeball with a pokemon inside, something he's only dreamed of...

    Roleplay Sample: This is my first roleplay, second if you count another one I'm going to be in but have yet to post.
    Chosen Starter: Oh, lets have some fun. Random starter, please.

    If no one fulfills their spots and what not, a spot? Also, you only want five? It seems a tad bit small. I always found seven to be a nice healthy amount. But, eh' your role play, your rules. Just getting this in, in case a spot frees up.

    Name:     Azul Kylar
    Age: 16
    Gender: Male

    Appearance:     Azul is considered to be quiet the charming young man. His hair is a fauxhawk style with spikes that go down in the front;(something like Cloud Strife's, but less poofy, and a little shorter) it is a jet black with dark blue and dark red running through the spikes. Like his father, he is quite tall, in fact, his total height is six feet and three point eight inches. Quick and nimble, he doesn't really weigh that much, a measly one-hundred and six pounds. Most of that is from his muscle anyway, no he is not a bulging sack of muscle, he just can hold his own when it comes down to it. His complexion is a light tan, he doesn't tan that fast, but he doesn't burn either. A well-toned body only adds to his extravagant body, all the sports he plays are good for his body. He wears slight make-up everyday.

    Azul likes close that are tight and not too breezy. His wardrobe is usually pretty complex though. His pants are a pair of tight skinny jeans, everyday a different color, black, gray, red, green, purple, pretty much every color of the rainbow, plus many not in the rainbow. He wears a white studded belt and the stud are colored all different colors. His t-shirt also differs for each pair of pants, with his black or gray pants, he will wears a light blue shirt. His black and gray plants are the ones that he wears the most. His shoes are a pair of black tennis shoes with blue on them, in the toe, and on the sides. The sole is a dark black.

    As for accessories, he accessorizes a bit much for what most people would consider normal for a male. His left ear is pierced with a small diamond earring that glistens oh so bright. On his neck, a silver neck chain with two dog tags. On his wrists he wears an assortment of bracelets, a few metallic ones, most of them, however are rubber. (Like the ones that say "TRUTH", "LOVE" and what not.) They are in various colors, shades and hues.

    Personality: Azul is little lighthearted, and isn't serious all the time. He likes to relax every once and while and maybe eat a light meal. He doesn't get all that hungry, and really only needs two meals a day; the portions don't have to be that large either. He is a complete vegetarian, and only eats veggies, and other non-meat/dairy products. Always he tries to do his best, often giving 110%, doing better than his best. He pushes himself, and the extra effort pays off. ON the other side he is quite rash and headstrong. Although intelligent, he acts on impulse a lot, and thus, he really doesn't hang with a lot of people. Traveling with others tend to ruffle his style and give him trouble for being him. Yeah, he is a major showoff and will take any chance he can to flaunt his skills.

    Cocky and arrogant, his pride often gets the better of him. He refuses to swallow it and apologize to someone, they have to apologize to him. Deflate his ego and he'll be nasty. The grudges he holds tend to escalate fast, and get a bit out of proportion. He may seem outwardly friendly, but on the inside he is plotting your demise. The talents and skills he possess make him quiet the the hater. A bond is harder to form with him than it is too bake a cake with not oven, no mixer, no spoon-- you get the point. He doesn't have very many people close to him, but find the right topic and the right words, and you might just crack the surface. He doesn't believe ins a destiny of sorts, and believes that life is what you make it.

     History: Azul was born to two very erratic parents, hence his name Azul when he is completely of European origins. Many, many different types that he doesn't even know about. His birth region is unknown to him, but he was raised in the Hoenn region, more specifically Fallarboar Town. Living next to a volcano made it quite the hot spot, so that is why he wears no jackets or sweaters. The ashes there made his lungs as strong as iron, he can breathe to a lot of things due to the exposure at his hometown. Every time he asks of his birthplace, his parents have something to go run off and do. He wonders why they keep it a big secret, and is determined to one day figure out why. Team Magma was quite the troublesome group, they practically owned the town. They did as the pleased and ruffed up whoever they wanted for whatever they wanted

    Both of his parents thought that it was too dangerous for a young boy in the Hoenn region, the various teams could snatch him at any moment. So, they sent him off to the Archon Region to live with their good friend Scott Russel. They sent him there in hopes that he would one day start a journey, as Scott knew Prof. Cedar, and he might just listen to Scott and send the boy off. Adapting to the region wasn't that tough. Scott didn't think he was fit to go on a journey, and put him through much rigorous training, the playing of sports and what not. Azul played in a few championship placing in the top three of all of them. His favorite sport being Tennis, closely followed behind by Baseball.

    After a couple years of this, Gray's soldiers told Scott that he had to send Azul on a journey. Scott, however, believed that he wasn't conditioned enough, just a month more of training. The soldiers disagreed and he was jailed for resisting the order of the King. He was forcibly thrown in jail. Azul denied going on a journey after the treatment to his mentor, the soldiers threatened to kill the man if he didn't comply. Azul eagerly accepted, the only reason he didn't at first is because of the cruel treatment. Now, he had two reasons to go, to save a friend, and to explore the region. Well, two personal reasons, the soldiers and the king had their own motives and reasons to send him off.

    Name: Damien Creed

    Age: 17

    Gender: Male

    Appearance: Damien's long blond hair and white toothy drin have been the envy of everyone since the day Damien was born. He usually keeps his hair tie back but on rare occasion allows it to go loose and rest on his shoulders. The hairs color is like a dark honey blonde and contrasts perfectly with his blue eyes. His face is lightly rounded into a vertical oval shape. His body type is medium fit although he is very tall, he stands at 6'1 woth no evidence of abnormally pronounced muscles.

    For pants he wears a pair of loose fitting brown cargo pants held up by his lucky belt with a Pokemon ball for an insignia. For a shirt he wears a white T-shirt with the sleeves removed but for an over shirt he wears his lucky jacket which is made from leather and on the back has a spade, diamond, club, and heart around a Pokemon ball and in Gothic text says "Gamble." As a final touch he has normal black and white sneakers on his feet that are usually kept nice and tidy even with the heavy travelling he does. And finally he has a tattoo on his upper right arm of a Banette balancing a dice on one foot and in one hand.

    Personality: Even since he was a child Damien was a gamer, it was the only time he felt people would even want to be around him. Slowly through his gaming prowess he felt that he gained some sort of respect from his peers. Now his personality is very extroverted and he has no problem socializing with most anyone especially the ladies. Damien actually hits on women very often and that usually gets him a blush or two, normally he doesn't do it because he's looking for a relationship but more as a moral booster.

    He has a neutral behavior towards Pokemon and feels that they are the ultimate test of ones luck and skill. In battle Damien will always give it all he has but sometimes he's is luckier than others, he's also not afraid to fight dirty. Luckily Damien is not without morals, he would never hit a woman unless it was necessary nor would he leave someone in need to defend them self. His moral choices reflect that of any normal person, he wont go incredibly far out of his way but he will do what he can.

    History: Damiens family has always relied on their luck to get by in life, sometimes they were up and sometimes they were down on their luck but in the end everything always seems to work out for them. As a child Damien was alway that weird kid who everyone picked on, he was the but of everyones joke and very few kids wanted to be around him. Damien found a form of sancuary in gaming. He would play whatever game he could get his hands on, card games, board games, any game really. And no matter what he played he just seemed to always win. The more he won the better he felt and the more that other people wanted to be around him. Playing games became Damiens best form of socialization and over time he grew to love them. It wasn't until his father came into possesion of the Mauville casino that Damien really got into gambling.

    For years Damien perfected his skill in all the different casino games, blackjack, and even the slot machines. He became one of the best and luckiest gamblers in town. Ironicallyy though when Damien turned 16 his father lost owner-ship of the casino through gambling. Since than Damiens father took what little money he had left and moved to the new region of Archon where recently Damien found a new way to show off his skill, Pokemon battling. And lukcy enough for Damien the local professor has recently come into possesion of some Pokemon that he is willingly giving out to trainers, Damien is going to pick up his very first Pokemon today!

    @Century and Murder - well, thanks and I'll let you know if a spot opens up, but I really don't want to make rules and then instantly break them. So, you two and sasuneuchiha are on my little reserves list, 'kay?

    @GhostPrincess - I'm afraid that all the spots are already filled and I've got a three person reserve list so to but it bluntly, no.

    @Sumner - Great SU so far, you're only missing a sample and choice of starter so once you add those I will accept :D
     
    Name: Jen
    Age: 18

    Appearance: Jen has small cut hair that only reaches the top of her neck. She spikes her hair and looks a lot like a boy. She has a single bar piercing on her left ear that she got without her parents permission and has loved it ever since, though it did get infected a few times because she did it herself. Jen always wears normal blue jeans, a black and gray striped long sleeved shirt and black converse shoes. Around her neck is a simple silver chain necklace that she constantly wears, along with the dog tags of her deceased older brother. He was always her favorite and taught her how to be a fighter. Aside from that she keeps a black jacket in her black backpack that she always carries around because she is constantly picking things up from the ground: coins, shells, sparkly things... ​

    Because of this, said shiny items can be seen dropping from her bag on occasion from bulging pockets that just seem to hold too much, even if the items are pure crap. In many ways, she has the characteristics of a Murkrow, and if someone said that to her, she'd be pretty amused and wonder what it is exactly that you're smoking. When it gets cold, she'll trade her long sleeved shirt for a much warmer black sleeved shirt that's a bit on the heavy side to keep her warm. While she doesn't mind the cold that much, if she could avoid it and go near a hundred degree climate area, she'll head over there. Atop that black long sleeved shirt (if its cold enough) is another jacket that she'll bundle up in.

    Personality: Jen is one tough cookie. Having had grown up with five brothers total and being the only girl puts you in that sort of position. She constantly likes to wrestle and have mock fights, even going so far as to wrestle a stray Mightyena that walked into her backyeard. The two had fallen in love with each other, but sadly Jen had to let it go. Jen can be pretty cheerful. In fact, she is almost happy all the time and rarely shows any anger unless for a just cause like against abuse, unfair laws and anything against her belief's or when she gets into a fight with one of her brothers. Jen hides her tears, which really doesn't matter since she doesn't cry all that often. When she falls and hurts herself, she takes it, unless its as bad as a broken bone, but unless a drama show is on that really affects her, she will cry silently.

    As Jen grew up being the only girl in the family, with five brothers to boot, she has the tendency to act a bit too tough, thinking she has to prove herself. She doesn't like to be coddled, and no matter how tough a girl can be, there is always that unsaid boundary between a girl and boy, which is sad, because she doesn't know that many girls who have an adventure bone in them. She hates make-up, dresses and all sorts of girly things, which is in fact the total opposite of the girls she does know from school. Its regretful too, as sometimes her father will take the boys out for just a boys night out, which involves crazy stunt shows on the rare occassion, and Jen absolutely loves that sort of stuff. Don't get it wrong, Jen's father loves her and always has time for his 'baby girl', but that's just the problem, she loathes being considered 'daddy's little girl' or 'daddy's princess'. While it may be the same for all girls, Jen still feels like she has to prove herself to be as tough as a boy, which is exactly why she will dress and act as one.

    History: Jen grew up with five brothers, but was the third oldest. Her oldest brother, and favorite, Jarrett, died while serving in the army. He was a great soldier and pokemon trainer. His best pokemon, Skarmory, went down fighting with him. Jen now keeps his dog tags for herself. That was the first time she had ever cried so openly. When she held Jarrett's dog tags while they buried his ashes, along with his Skarmory's into the same grave, she vowed that she would make him proud. Her brother had wanted to become a pokemon trainer after the army, but Jen sometimes doubted he really would. Her brother loved serving too much, and she knew he would have been great, and that is why she vowed to protect his memory. With that vow, she placed the dog tags around her neck and has never taken them off since, even when showering or sleeping.


    Jade's second oldest, Bobby, is a bit of a study nerd, and doesn't fight all that often, which sucks because when he does wrestle he's incredibly good at it. Jade's younger brother's, Mark and Owen, are only a year apart, Mark being the oldest and being one year younger than Jen. Aside from Jarrett, who is three years older than Bobby, they are all a year apart. Their family is close, but when news of Jarrett's death reached their ears, they were never the same again and closed off one another, and even till this day they aren't the same. That's why Jade wants to go on a pokemon journey, to get away from it all. She loves her family, but there is only so much one can take in a sad environment. ​
