Name: Pharrah Moan

Age: 81

Appearance: Pharrah is partially blind in one eye and tries to cover it by wearing shades.

Spoiler:

Personality: Pharrah used to live a hedonistic lifestyle, clear from her constant reminiscing of her golden days as a rising starlet. She is not one ashamed to share with you all of her memories, even if they tiptoe and skirt the social boundaries of propriety. Life's too short to be prudish and uptight; let loose a little, right sweetie? Pharrah gives everyone in the home an affectionate pet name, and definitely flirts with every male in the vicinity much to people's chagrin but they put up with her for she's such a precious ditsy soul (and she's about to go anyway).

History: Pharrah used to be famous in the cabarets and clubs back when she was a young girl trying to carve a big name for herself. When she was the electrifying and salacious Pharrah onstage, every guy and perhaps some girls swooned for her. She was the main event, the glow-light that made the crowd swarm towards her like venomoths to a flame. She was irresistible, she exuded sex and the ideal feminine beauty. She was coy and challenging, something that fed into the desires of the masculine ego. There's not a man she couldn't get and she wittily exploited her position to solicit favours and riches from foolish men.

Alas, her twinkling stardom swiftly faded out, as they all do in her industry, exacerbated by her drugged-up mind-numbing extravagant lifestyle that saw her spiraling into poverty. She never met the one man that was right for her so she never had kids, but then again, she would have probably sucked at being a mom and likely to accidentally kill them off (while high). Soon she found herself counting the years that flew by, as her flamboyant red and purple faded to a silvery grey.

Wish: Pharrah wants to leave the world with style in the form of perhaps a final one-hit performance or just feeling electric all over again.

"I like to think I'm just a broken light bulb. Give me a good fix and I'll be turned on for you."

250px-065Alakazam.png


Name: Frederick "Fred" Spoone
Age: 81
Appearance: Fred looks pretty much exactly like what you'd expect an Alakazam to look like, although there are certain subtle differences. The first and most notable is that his skin has lost most of its luster, being slightly paler and wrinklier than a younger Alakazam's would be. He's also become a bit stooped in his older age, standing at 4'08"/1.4m (slightly below the 4'11" average for an Alakazam) and is a bit underweight at 42kg. His mustache protrusions are greying at the ends now whilst the horns on his head are a bit droopy at the tips. Finally, his spoons are locked away for safe keeping so he doesn't carry them with him anymore. Instead you might see him carrying around a decrepit Sunkern.

Personality: There was a time when Fred was enthusiastic with an inquisitive mind, he never forgot anything and he practically burned with energy. He was always doing something, either exploring the mysteries of the universe in numeric form or physically travelling through dungeons for the sake of discovery and sating his curiosity. That is probably the opposite of what he is now.

Now days, Fred is mostly tired. He doesn't like it when things get rowdy and has little desire to do anything requiring much effort. His curiosity is not so easily spiked and he's apathetic towards most things. Not to mention his memory isn't in such a great state anymore. Usually this takes the form of simple forgetfulness but on occasion you might find him with glazed eyes, standing in the kitchen and wondering how he got there and what he was doing.

Fred is past his prime, and he knows it. He's still got his pride as an Alakazam though, he gets cranky if he feels like you're underestimating him or babying him. More than anything, that's because his decaying mind scares him. He's come to terms with his old age, but the thought of losing his memories and identity is a constantly looming fear. It's only because of Sammy's company and encouragement that he manages to keep his head.

History: Frederick grew up as an orphan, he never met his actual parents nor does he know how they died. So for the first several years of his life, his family consisted of other parentless Pokemon and a motherly Kangaskhan. He didn't dislike his life for the most part. His arrogance and pride would sometimes cause him to clash with the other children but for the most part he got along with everyone fine.

The one thing that bothered him during his early years, was that despite his hard work and studies he never really did anything important with his intelligence or curiosity. So, as soon as he was able the young Abra enlisted in a guild to become an explorer. At first he was merely an apprentice, but within a year of joining he was a Kadabra and a full-fledged member of the guild. The following years were the best of his life, he grew renown for his many discoveries and for his ability to quickly and efficiently solve the problems that could come up in a dungeon. He was achieving things that even more experienced explorers couldn't succeed at and was rapidly growing in prestige and rank. This also meant that he was growing in wealth, so he sent a lot of money back to the orphanage which was used to further education there. Eventually this even grew into a bridging program to the guild.

It was during this time that Fred ventured into a forest dungeon and came into contact with a Sunflora mother and her several Sunkern children. They were being pestered by some local Flying types that were causing all kinds of trouble. Fred and the team of explorers he were with agreed to help out the family and went to look for the Murkrow and Honchkrow responsible. They found them and defeated them, but it was a short lived victory. They returned to where the Grass Pokemon lived a few weeks later to check on things to find only a single Sunkern still alive. Fred took the Sunkern under his wing, but the extreme retaliation cost him a lot of his funding.

As the years went by, Fred not only evolved but turned his mind towards theoretical mysteries of maths and science as well as physical exploration. He earned a comfortable enough living and was highly ranked and well respected - not to mention his program kept young apprentices flowing into the guild. This meant he could spend more of his time exploring anything that got him curious - which was a lot of things. He grew to be famous for his work in scientific fields even more than he was renowned for his dungeon exploration. Through it all, he was kept company by Sammy Sprowt, the Sunkern he'd come into contact with becoming his closest friend.

As the years went by, Fred's abilities slowly began to decline. He was forced to retire and to live off his guild pension. This was a frustrating time in his life, and it only got worse when his memory started to falter. At Sammy's insistence, they both moved into Beatrice the Blissey's Aged Care Facility.

Wish: Fred wants to complete a biography and works on it when he can, mostly with Sammy's help. His gradually declining mind makes it hard work though.




ᔕᗩᗰᗰƳ
250px-191Sunkern.png


Name: Sammy Sprowt
Age: 77
Appearance: Sammy more or less looks likes the typical Sunkern, but the years have not been kind to him at all. His skin is withered and wrinkly, like a fruit that's starting to go bad or plant that hasn't got enough water and like Fred is paler than it once was. The points above his head flop in random directions and his stem is browning and droops. If you look hard enough you can see some of his former cuteness still there, but you'd have to try.

Personality: Unlike his companion, Sammy is a positive personality. He's friendly, humourous and easy to get along with for just about everyone. He's the sort of person who seems to have accepted just about everything about himself. He knows he's old, unhealthy, unappealing and quite frankly decrepit but he doesn't seem to care. You're dealt the hand you're given and it's better to laugh about the bad things or they'll consume you, that's Sammy's outlook.

He does have his moments of frustration or sadness, although he's not the type to let you see them. He's spent much of his life in the company of Fred and it's hard for Sammy to watch his friend's mind an memory slowly slipping away. It's twice as frustrating because he has the sound mind to help during Fred's episodes, but his lack of limbs often prevents him from doing much - he can't bounce around all the time like he used to. He tries to keep his thoughts off of the depressing stuff though and acts as a confidante and pillar for Fred despite his own declining health.

History: Sammy didn't grow up in a town around a guild, he never saw anything urban life as a child. Sammy spent his early years living with his Lombre father, Sunflora mother and a pair of younger Sunkern siblings in an out of the way forest dungeon. They were something of a traditionalist family, preferring to live in their natural habitat rather than constantly surrounded by buildings and bustling crowds. It was hard work at times and education was hard to come by, but they made do.

That was, until the Honchkrow and his Murkrow followers moved in. They aggressively took over the forest and made life miserable for those that lived there - especially the large population of Grass and Bug types. Opposing them wasn't really an option either, as Sammy's father found out. the Lombre went to plead for peace and never returned.

The next few years were the darkest of Sammy's life. His family barely managed and things in the forest were going badly. Things got so awful that Sammy's mother even started talking about migrating or trying to move to a town. It seemed neither move would be necessary though when a Kadabra and his exploration team showed up. They handed a resounding defeat to the birds and it looked like they'd driven them off. Until the angry birds (heh) came back and unleashed hell upon the forest. There were many casualties, Sammy's family among them.

The Kadabra, Fred, returned soon after and discovering the state of things took Sammy back to the guild with him. At first, Sammy held a grudge for how things had turned out but he was nevertheless thankful for the escape route. Eventually, the grudge softened and the two began to get along. eventually, the odd Pokemon pairing were as close as can be with Sammy acting as something of an assistant to Fred.

The years went by and the pair became inseparable, which was why Sammy was able to notice that his friend was starting to have a harder time of things. It was subtle at first, but as the problems with Fred's memory got worse and worse, Sammy eventually put his metaphorical foot down and more or less forced Fred to move to Beatrice's.

Wish: Sammy harbours a secret desire to evolve an spend his last days as a Sunflora. Unfortunately, Sun Stones are both rare and expensive so he can't really afford to make that happen.

A Simple SU is not bad. If you can help me with that, then good.

I will use this post to put all my three characters. Dunno if i'd make a 4th one, but if i want to, i will.

Here's the base of Tony for you, people.

If you tell me what species your Pokemon are, I'll just edit the same CSS I'm using to match your characters.

When you make the IC thread for this eventually, gimmepie, could you include a layout of the old folks home building? It would be helpful while we wander about.

Also, I hope someone makes a Drampa. :3

I fully intend to include at the very least a general description of the facility.
On a side not, since two players have made a war in the past canon, should I write some background lore relating to that? It doesn't really pertain to the RP, but it might make things easier for some people I guess?

The species are Honchkrow (Tony, the Old Mafia Boss, who still has visits from children to discuss business), Bellossom (Yuri, A person who works there), A Shiny Zangoose (Gelius, a Person who does whatever his supervisors say, and was forced to work there) and Froslass (Momoko Winter, someone who had most her family murdered at the great war, and the remaining members just abandoned her in the Aged Care house.)

I'll PM the CSS to you.
Since you're also going to reference this apparent great war, I'll have to write some lore up about it so everyone can be consistent when they mention things.

Also, we have a discord channel for anyone interested in joining that. I'll be sure to keep anyone who doesn't updated on anything important via the OOC though.

Name: Surus Dieter

Age: 77 (In human years)

Appearance: A few battle scars across his body, and a scar under his left eye.


Personality: Stubborn, battle scarred and gruff, Surus tends to keep to himself when it comes to strangers. He's not hostile, nor is he shy. He merely likes to reflect, and be alone. That is, unless his niece and nephew come to visit.

After years of battle and tragedy, Surus doesn't take funny business from anyone. He may be old and reaching his final moments on the planet, but he's still ready to impale anyone with his tusk, provided they provoke him enough.

History: Surus grew up in a modest, typical family setting, with his mother, his father, and his younger brother. He lived in a quiet community and a small town made up of mostly Ground-type Pokemon. But, due to a catastrophe, the town was decimated, and Surus was alone. He lost his family, not ever knowing if they had lived or passed.

Surus grew a rage deep inside, and instead, chased after the ones responsible. This led the young Surus to a savage city made up of rogues, shady business dealers, and a coliseum. But before he knew it, he was kidnapped and forced to fight for his life in underground matches.

Consumed with hatred and anger, Surus met the task with full force. He had to do whatever it took to survive, and destroy the society that chained him and destroyed what he loved.

He breathed and lived in turmoil, but when he evolved, Surus became a force to be reckoned with. He was known as the Trumpet of Demise, and the Force of Nature itself. Eventually, during a death match, Surus seized an opportunity to cause an earthquake and kill off everyone inside.

Surus was broken and bloody, but he survived. Without any reason to stay, he fled in hopes to find meaning in his life again. The years rolled by, as did he. He felt the blood of the warrior burn through his veins, and so, he travelled the world in search of his next battle. The Force of Nature had slowly become a well known title in the world of fighters, warriors, and even to some of the explorers. Surus even helped out a few times with the Pokemon exploration team.

Eventually, he joined the exploration team in hopes of ever finding any of his remaining family, along with helping Pokemon who suffered the same fate as he did.

Eventually, he did find his younger brother, married and with children. The reunion was deeply emotional to the war-torn Surus. Having been acquainted with his brother and his new extended family, Surus had found something to cling onto in his life once again. He was made the godfather of his brother's children, and lived with them up until his later years.

Unfortunately, despite Surus' hopes and wishes, his younger brother had died before him. Surus had raised his brother's children until they could fend for themselves, for which they returned the gesture in kind. This is how we find the battle born, scar ridden Donphan at the quiet facility of Beatrice the Blissey's Aged Care.

Wish: To see his niece and nephew live happily, get married and have children of their own, and to have closure with his bloody past.

250px-430Honchkrow.png


Name: Donatello Lauro Carlo Napoleone Anthony, Or just "Tony" for short.

Age: "73, and still counting"

Appearance: Tony normally carries his cigars around, making him distinguishable. His feathers are now less blacker, getting a tiny bit grey as he gets older and older. His "hat" is slightly so larger, and his red tail is now losing it's color. Despite this, he is still the same he has been always.

Spoiler:


Personality: Tony is a person who smokes a bit (Around two cigars a day), plays card games and casino games, whether gambling or not, a lot, and likes money. He is also very well aware of his age, and problems, and therefore tries to cut on smoking (The Results are not that great). He is also, still at this age, always in his head talking about the "Family's Business" and that it was at a better stage when he was at the head of it. He is a bit flirty on the ladies, specially people around his age, showing that he hasn't changed much from when he was young. Which also means that he is horrible at picking up ladies. But he tries. Despite his somewhat rude initial atitude, he shows to be a great person to be around, and that is why he is always playing card games with fellow members of the Aged Care, and even other people living there. Unlike most would do, he is extremely extravagant, and at times, has his meals bought somewhere else. He at times gives no care for rules. Just don't piss him off. That's rule number 1.

History: Tony was born, as a Murkrow, in, you guessed it, Grand Canyon, at the Air Continent. However, early in his life, he had to move to somewhere. Due to the harsh surroundings, Tony saw himself driven to small crimes to survive through the harsh place. Due to his great achievements as a crook back then, and to treasures and treasures collected, one after another, and even due to a situation where he earned respect, he rose quickly through the ranks, becoming a professional Crime Lord, a Mafia Boss. It was around here where he also evolved into Honchkrow, and his smoking habits begin.

Due to the wealth easily gained, and still growing, Tony had all in his possession. Power, Wealth, Respect, and even gained the Immunity, as long as he contributed to development of the location he was living. That's were he saw then a small empty space inside him, which needed to be filled. Well, that was quickly solved, when he met someone he loved: Swanna. Both were together for a few years, and raised a family, having two children: Ducklett and Murkrow. However, Swanna then ditched him, and he was alone to raise two kids.

Since then, the illegitimate off-springs were common. He had four in total: Pidove, Flabébé, Glameow and Meowth. That raised his Successor count from 2 to 6. From there, nothing much happened until he was around his 50s. His latest wife, which no off-springs were made by the way, Delcatty, died of cancer, ending Tony's streak of scores with women. From there, Tony was more focused in the business of the family, now that he had to have in mind a successor, until he established that Murkrow, now an Honchkrow as well, would be the new successor, around the age of 63. During the next 7 years, Tony went every morning to his office, smoking on his cigars (Even though he was advised to stop smoking), dealing with business. That was until a day, months after his 70th birthday, he was hospitalized with high cardiac tension. He was fine, but that lead to the six successors of his to consider for him to retire and to be left at Beatrice the Blissey's Aged Care agency for a more peaceful life, which was the idea that went forwards. He went to there, yet, as of today, Purugly, Honchkrow and Persian still visit him to discuss business, while the other three visit him cause they work nearby.

Moves: While he does not use em much anymore, if needed, he can pull up a few moves if needed to defend someone. At this age, he shows some strength somehow. After a good fight though, he would need some rest:

Dark Pulse: His Signature Move. While it's not as a powerful as it was during his "Legendary Crime Lord" days, it's still enough to make damage and impress someone.

Heat Wave: With the heat of his body, he can exhale. However, he only uses this as of lately to light up his cigars, since it's not as damaging as it was back then.

Nasty Plot: This is just symbolic.

Shadow Ball: Tony can create a ball of dark energy, and throw it at enemies. Like all other moves, this move is not as efficient as it was back then.

Wish: Tony just wishes for his family business to be succeed, and to see Children of his Grandchildren. However, he wishes as well for someone who truly cares for him. It is not a lie.

Quotes: "Ace of Hearts. And as it is trump, I win."; "Why play fair, when can I cheat?"; "Hey, young one! Bring me my cigars."; "I still am the same since last time."

250px-182Bellossom.png


Name: Yuri Hanako Makoto Haruka Watanabe

Age: Yuri is 21.

Staff Position: She normally is in charge of entertainment, but at times volunteers herself to clean, to take care of people, and to even help with daily health routine.

Appearance: Her Flowers are more of a lively red. She also has wristbands made of flowers.

Spoiler:


Personality: Yuri is someone who is a cheerful pokemon who tries to make other people's day (Hence why she was easily accepted). She helps cleaning, taking care of elder, and even help them in terms of healthcare. Her goodness has no limits... Except when she sees someone who is not good in heart, or is a Poison Type. She despises Poison Types due to how her parents died, and she despises bad, mean Pokemon because she is a good Pokemon to most Pokemon. She even is okay dealing with people who aren't that accepted. But no Poison Types or Mean Pokemon. She does have a bit of a sugar love. What this means is that she loves sweet stuff, maybe perhaps a bit too much. She is polite.

History: Yuri's history does not date much. She was born in a jungle, her parents were murdered by poison, and she lived with her grandparents, helping them in a few stuff. Since early, she said: "I want to take care of the most needed. I don't wanna lead a company that only goes for profit and nothing else.". These were her words, and so she set out to fulfill them. Studying medicine, and more specifically, nursery, she showed to be good at taking care of others, passing on tests with flying colors.

After graduation, she was given the option of finding a job. Due to her good, gentle nature, and experience of taking care of elder ones (Her grandparents), she sent out a form to a Aged People Care House that was hiring Nurses, the Beatrice the Blissey's Aged Care. She quickly got answer, getting the job. She then started her new job of making a ray of sunshine in the life of people.



Gelius
shiny_zangoose_global_link_art_by_trainerparshen-d6u47zf.png


Name: Gelius Razor Cross

Age: 19

Staff Position: He does not necessarily have a position. He is literally on part-time cause he was forced. So therefore, he always does what the superiors on the work say.

Appearance:
Spoiler:


Personality: Gelius is a person with really short temper. He rarely wants to take any bull crap, and at times gets so ahead of himself, that he yells to whoever is next to him. He is known for picking up fights with others. Despite not meaning bad, he HATES this job. He was forced to do this job, and unlike some people *cough*Yuri*cough*, he does not do his job perfectly as needed, and even seems to be loafing around in the job. He has high hopes of being able to quit the job and become an adventurer, while trying to smooth down his temper. He is not much to be next to elder ones, even not listening to them. Poor Elder ones. He likes games, and at times is seen playing cards with older people instead of doing his own job. When needed, he can be polite.

History: Gelius was born in a family driven by a forbidden love: His mother a Seviper, the father a Black and Blue Zangoose, a sister that is a Seviper, and an adoptive brother (Egg was left in the nest by someone mysterious) that is an Elekid. His childhood was filled with bickering with his sister and playing outside or playing games. He was what people called a Nerd. And honestly, he was proud of it. He was not disturbed by the slightest of being a nerd.

School though was another story. He was not a good student in most subjects, and passed the subjects barely, and even used to sleep in classes. Due to his bad performance, failing once the 8th and the 10th grades, his mother became furious, and as punishment, he would do summer work at the Aged Care house, and once he finished school, he would immediately start his work there to learn how it is to make a living. Gelius was not agreeing to said idea, but he had no choice, and so, his work began.



мσмσкσ
250px-478Froslass.png


Name: Momoko Sakura Momoka Winter

Age: 84

Appearance: Despite her ice colors being a clear blue, her white skin is now slightly grey. Pretty much, she is somewhat gray now, but her blue is still as elegant as ever. Her purple areas are somewhat worn out, and her ribbon is, well, a bit of torn off, and it's not as red as it is when she was young. She also has a few wrinkles.

Spoiler:


Personality: Momoko is the usual quiet one, deep in sorrow. She is always sad due to the abrupt way she was left alone. She is very fond of the winter, knit stuff, and even watching some TV or reading a good book. She rarely speaks to someone, and when she does, she is very direct. She is EXTREMELY polite, even to others who are less nice. She never is disrespectful. But, she normally hates the word family/love, as those feelings have died on her, and are merely illusions, ghosts (get it?) of the past. She hates activities like bingo and card playing.

History: Momoko was born in the harsh environment that is Blizzard Island. Due to the harsh life there, she had to learn how to survive. Eventually, due to an event, she had to move away to Crystal Crossing, a more easier place to survive in. From there, she made a new life, and even married to a Gallade, whom she loved dearly and deeply, and raised a family of five children. Everything seemed perfect. That was until the Great War.

With the husband brutally murdered at the Great War, and with 5 children to raise on her own. She even fell in depression a few times. Years passed, mother problems happened, all was set for a bad ending between her family. Late in the 70s, the three younger children of her five children wanted her to die to pass the wealth down. They were sick and tired of the mother. Therefore, they abandoned her at the aged care, and even lied to their two other brothers that she died when they were overseas. Since then, Momoko has hated every single emotion.

Wish: All she wishes is to mean something to someone... To reignite all passions she felt before... To feel like to be cared by someone.


And done. The Zangoose gave me a trouble there with the CSS, but i think i fixed it. Now i'm ready for the Mafia shenanigans. As Tony says...

Think you got enough middle names there, mate? Wow. @w@

Edit: Oh, actually I was just having a laugh at first, but it's worth noting that Japanese names actually never have middle names, so if you want to be culturally accurate enough to have Japanese names, you may want to also be culturally accurate enough to cut the girls down to just one family name and one given name. The more you know!

I'll most certainly be reading this RP. I'm super curious if this trend of simpler-made roleplays are going bode well in the long run; I hope they do! They seem to get a following very quickly.

they do if you're weeaboo trash
