    BECAUSE OF SOME ACTIVITY IN THE OTHER THREAD, IT WAS REVIVED AS A NEW ONE. IT WAS ON MY FORUM, BUT NOW IT WON?T LET ME ON, SO UNTIL I GET IT FIXED OR GET A NEW ONE, THIS RP IS HERE.



    And if you aren?t invited to this one, please don?t get mad at me.



    Okay, for all of you who have actually read the real book called ?The City of Ember?, DON?T SPOIL THE EVENTS!!! Oh, and this is an invite only RP. And I know, the book is ? to Jeanne DuPrau, the wonderful author. ^_^ I will be using events from the actual book, too. Anyway?



    Plot:

    In the world of eternal darkness, there is only on light. The city of Ember. The pok?mon that live in this city know only of their world, because as far as anyone knows, they are the only city in the dark land. For as long as anyone can remember, the endless food supply and light bulbs have kept the endless blackness at bay. But now the lights are beginning to flicker?

    It is Assignment Day, when all pok?mon of twelve years of age are given a job. We are a group of friends who have heard rumors of the generator that keeps the lights running. The generator has been messing up, according to rumor, and all the citizens have noticed that the blackouts are getting more frequent?

    Will you draw the job that will help Ember? Is there a way out? Another city? More food? A way to fix the generator? All is up to chance.



    Now, I will randomly choose which job you draw. If you don?t want it, trade with someone else, instead of sending me hateful messages about it! I will have a list of the jobs, too, so you can pick the one you want (though that doesn?t mean you?ll get it, it?s just required info for certain parts of the RP) Okay, acceptable and not acceptable:



    Acceptable:

    • You can bring in up to two additional characters of your own, but only temporarily, and they can?t be human. They also are allowed to go off plot for a small while, but they can?t change the idea completely.
    • If you have something to say to someone that doesn?t have to do with your RP post, put it behind this: OOC. Example: I waded through the water.
    OOC: I?m going offline now.

    • Your pok?mon can talk, so you don?t have to translate ?pika pika? in every post. ^^;
    • You can be any pok?mon you want, but it can?t be legendary. It can be genderless, though.
    • Remember, your character is only twelve years old, so they can?t be super powerful or anything.
    • You can have up to three characters, just separate each of their views with three stars, if your doing it first-person. (***)


    Unacceptable:

    • Don?t SPAM!
    • No flaming, even if the person is being annoying, at least try to talk it over through PMs, or even better, don?t say anything at all.
    • Okay, it will be acceptable, but PLEASE try to use good grammar. I?m not trying to insult anyone here, but really, it gets annoying. Misspellings, we can?t help, but you can put periods and commas into your text.
    • Powerplaying is even more annoying, so don?t do it!
    • If your not having fun, or someone makes you mad, then leave! It doesn?t have to be forever, like if you?re having a bad day you could take off of the RP for a while, but don?t just sit around complaining.


    Okay, now, the Sign up sheet:



    Name: Doesn?t have to be your real one.

    Type: What type of pok?mon you are.

    Personality: If you don?t know what your personality is, I?m freaked.

    Appearance: Is your pok?mon Shiney? Missing an ear? Explain!

    Favorite job: Choose from the list below which job your character wants. Remember, there?s no guarantee you?ll get it, but it will help with things later on in the RP.



    Job list:

    Pipeworks laborer ? You work down underground in the Pipeworks, where the generator is.

    Messenger ? Get to run around a select area of town, carrying messages for people.

    Supply Desk clerk ? Sit behind a desk and take orders from shopkeepers, then send carriers down to the storerooms for the requested items.

    Electrician?s helper ? fixing dead street bulbs and house lights.

    Greenhouse Helper ? Helps out in the greenhouse.

    Building repair assistant ? Helps repair buildings and structures.

    Trash shifter ? Moves trash from homes to the two giant trash heaps outside of town, at the horizon of the dark world.

    Doctor?s assistant ? Binds up cuts and give medicine.



    Now, these are my characters for the story that you can use as a temporary character to interact with:

    Clary, the female Grovile that runs the Greenhouse.

    Dr. Felinia Tower, the Chansey doctor.

    Mayor Cole, the Raichu mayor of the city.

    Mrs. Thorn, the Delacaty class teacher.

    Oh, one more thing. There are no trees, grass, water (save for the underground river), or any contact with humans or other cities at all. If I can get the map from the real book scanned, I will, but it's a two page one, so.. It may not come out clear.

    Okay, I will begin, and maybe this time the RP will get somewhere..

    IC: The graduating students occupied Room 8 of the Ember School. On Assignment day of the year 241, this classroom, usually noisy, was sitting completely silent. The desks were arranged in four rows of six, one behind the other.
    ***
    In the last row sat a slender Espeon, named Bright. She was genlty whisking her tail about, sometimes turning to look over at Zander.
    ***
    In the second row was a Poochena, Zander. He sat with his shoulder's hunched, and his tail twitching impatiently.

    An Espeon named Aura also sat in the back row. She quietly looked over the whole classroom before resting her gaze on the Espeon beside her. She then turned her attenion to the front of the class and sat as still as a statue.
     
    Blade sat beside Zander. She looked at the anxous Poochyena and smiled slightly before turning back to the front of the room and watching the teacher intently. I wonder what my job will be. She thought nervously. Though she was nervous she didn't let anyone know it.

    Name: Flame

    Type of Pokemon: Blaziken (male)

    Personality: Friendly, kind, and very Brave. Will not care to do anything that is needed to do despite of its danger, fearless even if its life is in serious danger, anyways aware of the danger but fearless. Always helping everyone that needs the help and worrying for others. although silent, and not much talkative, more observative, doesnt usually start a conversation unless worried for someone or someone talks to him. Very mature for beeing 12 years old only due to the hard experiences passed thorugh his life.


    Appearence: Shiny blaziken "image removed"

    Favourite job: Trash Shifter (i like danger)


    hope this is ok

    here i go!

    -----------------------------
    Flame entered the classroom throwing a interested stare at the espeon and the poochyena that were sitting together, he found the image sweet, friendly and comprehensive in a situation like this.

    Then noticed the tail of the espeon, getting near the couple, he said hello.
    Then asked the espeon coldly what happened to her tail.

    waiting an answer that seemed to take for ever to arrive, Flame went to the back of the classroom and leaned against the wall ,looking up to the ceiling, waiting for something to happen, wishing these moments would change his life forever and would make him at last discover what he was capable of.

    Then he saw the Scyther entering the classroom, its presence heated the room, it looked experimented, and Flame instantly knew that he would make good friends with that scyther. He watched the Scyther untill it went up to him , stared at him for a while and leaned on the wall just next to him.

    Flame found this funny laughed for himself and kept on waiting for the moment that all were waiting for .. to come.

    OOC: Aaryn's in, sorry for the confusion.

    IC: Someone's foot scraped back and fourth on the floor. Miss Thorn sighed. Then the door rattled and the mayor walked in. He looked annoyed, as though they were the ones who were late.
    "Welcome, Mayor Cole," said Miss Thorn. She held out a hand to him. The mayor smiled. "Miss Thorn," he said, enfolding her hand. "Greetings. Another year."
    He walked to the front of the room.
    "Young people of the Highest Class," the mayor began. "Assignment Day now, isn't it? Yes. First we get our education. Then we serve our city. What will that service be, eh? Perhaps you're wondering. Someting to remember. Job you draw today is for three years. Then, Evaluation. Are you good at your job? Fine. You may keep it. Are you unsatisfactory? You will be re-assigned. It is extremely important for all...work...of Ember...to be done. To be properly done. So. Let us begin. Simple procedure. Come up one at a time. Reach into the bag. Take one slip of paper. Read it out load. Who cares to be first?"

    OOC: I will PM ya your job when you draw.
     
    Flame snapped out of it, and look around. Seeing thaqt no one seemed to have any intention to get near the mayor to take their jobs, he glanced at Blade, the scyther and started to the mayor. When he got there, he saluted and took his slip, then closed his hand and went back to the wall where he was leaning. He stopped infront of Blade and throwed a friendly stare and leaned back on the wall waiting for everyone to get their paper...
     
    Aura jumped out of her seat and started down to the mayor and the slips. She carefully took one with her paw and regarded the mayor for a few seconds before walking back to her seat.
     
    Flame found the nervous and pink espeon quite nervous and laughed to himself, then he look towards the door and noticed a pigeotto flying quickly inside the clasroom and land carefully next to a flygon that he did not notice before.

    The Pidgeotto looked kind of embarrased, but flame realized that he wasnt, it seemed that the pidgeotto did not care at all. The flygon turned its head back to stare at the pidgeotto and then back again to the front of the class.

    Flame felt weird now, he realised that he did not know anyone there, but he knew that it wouldnt last for long! if they were to work together, they would end up like friends, so he looked down at Blade and smiled.

    OOC: I think we should refer to our characters in 1st person from now on!

    Blade smiled back and stood up. She walked to the front of the room and scooped up a peice of paper on her blade. She stared at it then went back to her seat. She looked over at the Blaziken and asked, "So what job did you get?" She said this quietly cause she didn't want to get in trouble in front of the mayor.
     
    Flame, looked back at Blade and answered: " I do not know yet, i think ill wait till everyone gets their piece of paper" He didnt feel nervous, he was excited!!

    So he waited till others came up to the table and got their papers...

    OOC-DEoxys come on, send us the jobs!!
     
    Blade looked back down at her job and scowled. "I'm a TRASH SHIFTER." She muttered.
