    I have gotten permission from Deoxys55 to recreate her old thread.

    Okay, for all of you who have actually read the real book called ?The City of Ember?, DON?T SPOIL THE EVENTS!!! 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 one 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 Pokemon except water, fire, or flying.
    * 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.

    RPG Sample: This kind of explains itself. Give a sample of your RPGing skills.


    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.



    We start when enough people join!
     
    Name: Crystaleirenia Lilyuh Breezezaru

    Type: Espeon

    Personality: Crys is more of a people person character (people as in pokemon). She likes to talk and interact. But the one thing she likes more than people is running. Running is her passion, it's like breathing air. She really doesn't like sitting in one place all the time, but she's able to demonstrate self-control when needed, letting herself get out of most trouble.

    Appearance: Crys has a sheer, shiny white coat of fur instead of the usual lavender. The round red jewel on her forehead is a diamond-shaped hot pink jewel instead. Instead of sapphire blue eyes, she has exciting purple eyes, amethyst in color. She's actually shorter than the average Espeon, therefore, is a bit faster and more agile.

    RPG Sample: (This is a post from an RPG called Abanddoned by RagingDragon)

    The chef, as usual, walked out of the kichen door and out to the alleyway carrying the leftovers from yesterday and throwing them out to the dumpter. A big, green, graffiti-covered dumpter. The Chef, was also carrying his trusty broom, ready to knock Lea clear out of the way.

    "Gale Midnight! Show yourself... I know you are here..." He said closing in on the trashcan, the one that the dark Espeon was waiting behind.

    "Must you always be this suspicious about me at this time of day? A girl's gotta eat, you know. And's it's not even your freshly prepared meals!" Lea said, in her native tounge, staring him down.

    "You'll never get these leftovers!! Never! NEVER!"

    "Why are you protecting trash? Man, you're crazier than I thought..." With that, Lea used Double Team. "Try and hit me!"

    "You're asking for it this time!" The Chef tried to hit her, but the broom missed.

    Noise flooded the conversation between the two, mainly the morning rush hour and people chatting.

    A broken broom and a dozen attemps later, the chef was exhausted. His chubby body can't handle Lea when the sun is shining, that's when Lea's at her best. With a smug smirk from the pokemon, she jumped onto his head and leaped for the dumpter, grabbing two, thick slabs of bacon. She then jumped onto his head once more and darted off to the park. The Chef fell on the ground.

    "One day, I'll get you Gale Midnight..."

    Lea made her way to the park, still chewing on the bacon slices she got from the dumpter the chef was guarding. The idea of the chef guarding trash still makes her wonder. As usual, her little friend, Sparks the Pichu meets her on the curb, greeting her.

    "It's funny that the chef is still guarding trash..." Lea brought up.

    "One man's trash is another man's treasure, or that's at least what I've heard..." Sparks answered, signaling that there's a green light and the street is safe to cross.

    One thing that Lea has learned during her first weeks in the city is when to cross the street. At a time, Lea almost became roadkill because she didn't know when to cross. She learned that the aquamarine green light means go, it's safe to cross. The crimson red light means stop, it's not safe to cross. The tropicana orange light means don't cross or finish crossing.

    As they reached the park they walked around for a bit, observing the trees, and laying on the grass. They then went their separate ways.

    "I'll see you later, Sparks!"

    "Okay Lea, see ya."

    Lea reached the center of the park. She looked at her surroundings and spotted her set of footprints she left the night before.

    ~*Flashback*~

    "Tell me how did I get into this mess again, Sparks." The Espoen questioned, a thick slice of Ham in her mouth, while they where running.

    "I thought it was no one's!! Honest!"

    "HONEST?! You expect me to believe that that was no one's? Why do I do favors for you anymore?"

    "Get back here with our meal!" A Houndoom barked. But not just any Houndoom. That was the leader of a gang, named Artimeus.

    They ran throughout the night, running from the pack of fire dogs. They even got their paws dirty from running in the mud.

    "You owe me big time Sparkiano Flareramber Pichu!" She screamed as they outran the Houndoom. "And I just washed myself too..."

    "Now you can give me the ham..."

    "Take it! And don't ask me to do ridicious favors ever again!" The midnight blue eyed cat retorted, giving the thick slab of pork to the Pichu. Walking back to her trash can, she looked up to the moon and sighed.

    ~*End Flashback*~

    As she took her gaze off the footprints, her eyes landed on the the fountain. The glorious fountian where she takes her daily showers. She leapt in, and as usual, the water was clean and icy cool. Just the way Lea liked it. She like bathing in the water ever since she could remember the fisrt day she accidently fell into this spot. Many memories lies in this historic landmark. She then noticed the bite mark on her left foreleg, right after the waters stung at it. She then realized that the lead Houndoom must of bitten her and his fangs dug deep.

    "You don't know how things hurt until you noticed them. And that's a quote that I shall not soon forget." She said to herself as she tried to ignore the sting sensation that was her bite wound. The sun was shining brightly, which soon reflected onto the water's surface. An idea crepted into the Espeon's mind.

    'Why didn't I think about this before?'

    She casted a Morning Sun Attack, which was very effective since the sun was out and high up in the sky. Her wound healed, althogh, not completely, it was just enough for it to stop stinging. The cat-like psychic pokemon leapt out of the old pool of sparkling waters, and shook off the excess moisture, revealing a puffy coat of fur. At least, not for long. By the time she ran around the park, her fur was dry and layed flat against her body, shimmery as it should be.

    "It's adventure time!" Lea yelled as she walked around the neighborhood.

    here it is
    Baker watched on as the trainer ran to care for her beaten down umbereon and carried it back to her place before comforting it and returing it to its ball

    ''I must say''
    I said to her in a low voice
    ''I am greatly impressed by the heart and determination of you Umbereon, it fought bravely and with presistence, and it defenitely has that will to win, but moreso a will to please you. however I am very impressed with you, Your battle technique was superb and you defenitely have a great care for all of your pokemon, I can tell just by the way you hold your pokemoin that there safety is you No1 priority, There is however one thing you are missing that is the key to you becoming a fantastic pokemon master, This is something I cannot explain to you, it comes throagh vigorous understanding and unfortunately a lot of pain for you and your pokemon, Butr when you find it....''
    Baker stopped, he raised his chin, the wind still flowing straight throagh his hair like the sea, he took a deep breath and sniffed the air, it left him with a sort of taste in his mouth, like swallowing a blooming flower in spring, he closed his eyes and listened to the wind, he heard it speaking to him, he heard te birds speaking to him, he heard the very earth speaking to him, everything was always so much better like this, it was the only time he was truly calm and relaxed. he took a minuite to enjoy it, and opened his eyes again.
    He looekd up at a tree where a male bird was covering its partner with sticks and leavs to keep her warm, and making sure its babies were ok, he smiled....and looked back down to the trainer

    ''And when you find it....its the most facinating thing you could ever imagine in your life, your very sould sings a song of joy to you every day and finally.....althoagh you thgink you already may be.....you are...............free''
    There was a sharp intake of finnality to this last word that showed that was all he could really explain about it.
    The trainer looked at haunter who was still on the floor

    Do not worry, I am greatly disturbed at Haunters currrent status and nothing would sooth me more then to at least run over to it and check its safety, however haunter would prefer to be allowed the space to recover on its own and will let me treat it when it is ready, he is a very proud pokemon''
    Haunter suddenly shot up and zoomed at baker knocking him half off his feet and licking him
    ''He is also a very lively and loving pokemon! but theres a time and place for everything!''
    he said this not crossly, but with a laugh and the look on his face that you would see when watching a baby playing with a new toy, or the first time they meet Father Christmas.
    baker stood up and slapped Haunter a high five
    ''Nice one haunter, your the greatest, you know that!''

    haunter smiled
    ''Haunt haunt haunt haunt haunt haunt haunt''
    it replied still trying to lick baker who pulled out its pokemball and returned it before whispering to it to take a long rest and hooking it back on its belt


    ''Now, enough talk, I believe we have an other round to finish''
    he said with a smile at her
    ''I will allow you to choose your pokemon 1st, I am intruiged by who you will choose''

    Alexander was walking down the road waiting for the right chance to release his Treecko, Treecky. As they walked into the park he saw a nice little spot to sit. As he released his Treecko to sit and relax a Bayleaf used vine whip to move him out of the way.
    "I am sorry but you can't sit here," a strange man said from the shadows.
    "This is my Bayleafs spot."
    "I am sorry but I was here first, besides why can't he stay with you?" Alexander asked inpatiently. "I think you need to have your Bayleaf sit somewhere else."
    How bout we settle this the right way, in a pokemon battle. That will see who gets the spot."
    "Why should I agree to such a battle over a spot." I was here first so I get the spot."
    "Lets say this, if you win, which you wont. You get my Bayleaf. If I win, which I will you never show your sorry face around here again. How does that sound to you buddy?"
    "If you are willing to give up your Bayleaf so freely then I might as well except. Besides, he shouldn't be with such a horrible trainer. I except your challenge. Now let's get this started!"
    "Treecky you ready? Good lets get rid of this creep! Bulletseed!"
    "Dodge and use vinewhip Bayleaf." The Bayleaf didn't move an inch. "What are you doing Bayleaf? Move you butt and attack!" The Bayleaf looked at it's trainer and shot a
    razor leaf at the trainer in the dark. The attack hit, and you know it did because of the whimper you heard from the trainer and then seeing him run.
    As you were leaving the park the Bayleaf walked up behind you and pushed your back abit. From the looks of it he wanted to go with you. SO now instead of walking out with Trecky by your side. You leave with a Bayleaf to.

I rolled my eyes. Hydro saw this and gave me a Hydro Pump, knocking me off the bench. "Crabby ,today?" She snorted and jumped off the bench. A trainer came up to me. He was wearing a fire printed bandana and tie die shirt. As for his pants, they were beat up. "Wanna battle?" He asked. Hydro looked at me hopeful. "Sure. A warm-up never hurt anyone."
    Hydro stood at the ready and the trainer grabbed his pokeball. "Go! Swellow!" A Swellow, with black wingtips, appeared infront of him. "Hydro Pump!" Hydro jumped and released a jet of water towards Swellow. "Dodge!" Swellow flew in the air. "Again!" I shouted. Hydro used Hydro Pump on the ground to propel herself and once close enough in the air to Swellow, released another Hydro Pump. With a start Swellow was caught off-guard and hit. Hydro landed as did Swellow, only on his back. Swellow quickly recovered as his trainer shouted:"Drill Peck!" My eyebrows raised. Hydro just stood there.
    I thought madly. Swellow was powering up its attack. Think! Then it hit me. Swellow was now charging towards Hydro. "Use Aurora Beam!" A rainbow ball appeared in Hydro's mouth. It got bigger and bigger. Swellow was almost on top of her. "Now!" The rainbow ball turned into a beam and hit Swellow directly on his stomach. Swellow flew back into his trainer.

    It isn't too late to sign up, is it?

    Name: Rin

    Type: Chikorita (F)

    Personality: Rin puts on a happy face when she is around others, but inside she feels terrible. She was abandoned when she was born and had to fend for herself, making her emotions mixed at times. She tries to never show any emotion but happiness, but sometimes others see through her mask.

    Appearance: Rin is blue, unlike other Chikoritas. The tip of her leaf got torn off in an accident. Because of this, her grass attacks are weaker than usual.

    Favorite job: Greenhouse Helper (This is what Rin wants. I think that Pipeworks would be a better job for her, because due to her weakness it would be interesting for her to have a difficult task.)

    RPG Sample: (It's a prologue for her)
    "Goodbye, Rin!" Yue yelled after Rin. Rin turned around, smiled, and waved with her free hand. Yue was the Girafarig that ran the Mini Mart down the road. Rin showed up to buy food occasionally, but with her limited money, it was usually something small and less than a dollar.

    Rin lived in her own home. She once had money saved from her old job, but the money was nearly depleted. She had trouble with food, and she usually went to the Mini Mart only once a week, spending less than a dollar every visit. Rin was always hungry and couldn't do physically demanding tasks, like construction, since she would need to use her Razor Leaf, probably. That was the strongest grass move, after all. She was not only young, but the tip of her leaf had gotten torn off, weakening her more.

    Rin pushed the door open to her house and put the bag on the table. It tipped over, and its contents spilled out. A small bag of cheese puffs and a stick of gum rest on the table. She sighed. The house was small, but practical. It was all that she could afford. She wasn't renting it, and it was all paid off. There was no point in selling it.

    Rin went into the small bedroom. There were two posters on the wall and a small bed in the corner. The bedroom was about the size of a small closet. She flopped down on her bed. Why couldn't she be happy like normal eleven year olds? She looked at the posters. One was of a beautiful Persian, obviously a model. The other was a cute Pikachu, a childhood actor. Rin had found the posters while going through other pokemon's trash for food. She had had no luck finding anything but banana peels and rotten orange slices, which she would have eaten if oranges weren't toxic to Chikoritas. She came across the posters, which she liked, since she couldn't get anything of the sort normally.

    This was when Rin decided to move. She had heard of a city called Ember. It was worth a shot. What could it hurt? She was trash. If she died on the road, no one would care. She could die here. If she died on her way to Ember, at least she would be trying to make a difference. She took the posters down, put them, the gum, and the cheese puffs in the bag, and walked out the door.

    After a year living in Ember, it was Assignment day. This was when all twelve year olds were given jobs. Being twelve, Rin would get a job. She had heard the rumors of the generator failing. She could get the job that would save Ember. She braced herself, looked to her friends, and waited to hear the rest of her life determined.
     
    Well I think we have enough members now. I will PM your jobs to you. Until then here's my profile and the first post. (Sorry I'm going to borrow Deoxys55 post and profile because that's how it'd be anyway.)

    Favorite job: Greenhouse Helper

    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 Furret, named Bright. She was genlty whisking her tail about, sometimes turning to look over at Zander.
    ***
    In the second row was a Umbreon, Zander. He sat with his shoulder's hunched, and his tail twitching impatiently.
     
    OOC: Awesome. This sounds really fun, it won't die.

    IC: Rin sat at a desk in the far corner of the room in the last row. She was nervous, in her mind too weak to do most of the jobs. She swung her leaf from side to side, growing impatient. She bit her lower lip. She was so nervous, she could barely contain herself. "Rin, it's going to be ok," she said to herself. She grabbed the bottom of her seat to keep herself from fidgeting, and waited.

    OOC: I have sent all of you your jobs. Once you make your first post the guest of honor will arrive.
     
    Franky sat in the first row third seat. He did not know what was waiting for him or what he was going to be doing. He sat there quietly like he was meditating. He was upright on his tail with his legs crossed and his arms were the same. Just like he was waiting for something.
     
    There was a soft nock on the door and Mayor Cole walked in with a scowl on his face as if it had been them who were late. "Welcome Mayor Cole." Said Mrs. Thorn holding out a paw. Mayor Cole was a rather fat Raichu. He smiled at Mrs. Thorn and shook her paw.

    "Hello Mrs. Cole." He began looking around the room. "Today is Assignment Day. Today you will all get your jobs and go out into the city to work." Mayor Cole paused, his eyes moving slowly to each student. "What will your job be eh? Well you are about to find out." He placed a small bag on Mrs. Thorn's desk and patted it lightly. "You will all come up here one at a time and draw a job from this bag. You will then read the job you have drawn outloud to the class. Now who would like yo go first?"

    A young Skitty named Lizzie jumped up. "I would."

    "Very good. Come up here."

    Lizzie scampered up to Mrs. Thorn's desk and placed a paw in the bag and pulled out a folded slip of paper. She unfolded it and looked at the words printed on the paper. "Desk Supply Clerk." Lizzie read aloud. Her face was expressionless but Bright could here the disappointment in her voice. Lizzie smiled and went back to her seat.

    "Ok who's next?" Asked Mayor Cole.
     
    Rin snapped out of her daydream. "Oh, uhh, I will be I guess..." she said. She walked up and pulled a piece of paper. She got her job. "Building Repair Assistant." Her heart sank. How well could she do this job? She touched her leaf and let out a loud sigh before walking back to her seat.
     
    The little Espeon jumped out of the chair and made her way to the bag. Using her psychic powers, she grabbed a slip of paper. The paper looked brand new, and it floated into the cat-like pokemon's paws, the electric blue aurora wearing off. Crys' amethyst purple eyes read the slip. In an emotionless tone, she said "Doctor's Assistant" out loud. You can't see it but she's very disappointed. But it's fair at least, she can understand that much of it. Crystaleirenia just hopes that it's a place where she could at least run around a bit, maybe not very fast, but run nonetheless. With a sinking heart, she walked back to her seat, sighing in defeat. But all is not lost. She just hopes that someone gets Messenger and is willing to trade for her job. Her foot tapped on the ground impatiently as the next pokemon went up.
     
    Zander couldn't wait any more. He jumped up and walked up to the bag. He took a deep breath then reached his paw into the bag and withdrew a slip of paper. He stared at the words written on it for a minute then said, "Messenger." He threw the paper to the floor causing Mrs. Thorn to gasp and Mayor Cole to say, "Disgraceful." Zander marched back to his seet and flung himself down.

    "Disgraceful." Said Mayor Cole again. "You should be happy to serve your city. It is an honor to work for Ember. Only if we work can our city prosper."

    "But the city is not prospering." Shouted Zander standing up. "There are blackouts all the time now. The suppiles are runninglow too. The city is..."

    "Zander sit down." Said Mrs. Thorn quietly walking over and placing a paw on his shoulder.

    "What is your name son?" Asked Mayor Cole.

    "Zander." He snapped sitting back down. Bright stared at him in disbelief.

    "I will remember you. So who is next?'
     
    "I will," I whispered. I slowly walked up to the large pokemon. He should have been a Snorelax, I thought, looking at his round belly. I pulled a paper out. Trash Collecter. I threw on the ground, walking to my desk.

    "Well, what is it?" Mayor Cole asked. I turned my head.
    "We're all waiting," He said impaitenly.
    "Trash collecter," I muttered under my breath.
    "What? I couldn't here?" Mayor Cole asked again. I held my breath. Thanks to Mayor Cole, My parents died. He gave them Pipeswork job. It's all his fault. My eyes glowed.

    "I got the Trash collecter job," I yelled. Kids in my class began to snicker. It turned to a laugh when I walked over to Mayor Cole.

    "Trash Collecter," I screemed in his large ears. Everyone began to cry of laughter. I saw one pokemon run out of the room. Hope he made it to the bath room on time.
