[Minako]

Agh. x_X I'm hoping that the RP won't start without me. I wanted to enter Na-Na and my Duskull, but I haven't gotten Duskull yet... ^^; I'm going to write the sign up for Na-Na, but I still want to use Duskull. +dies+ I may have to use Puurii instead.

 

[Clow]

Um... hey can you do me a favor could you put Bulbasaur and Vulpix to the wish list PLEASE!!!!!! *Smiles while holding his cat behind his back (My cat can KILL MAHAHHA think real hard.) (Also I'll join the RP when I get my third pokemon)

 

[Fls4eva]

*coughs* Koff.. Alter.. Can you put Swablu put on the wishlist again? I really hope I won't be too sick to miss it again..

 

[Light_Azumarill]

W00t! The artist is here to enter her sign-up sheet. ^^

Oh, and Minako, I should be done with the first batch of pokemon (your Duskull's in there) tomorrow afternoon. So if the RP can hold off (and I think it will) for another day or so, you'll have your Duskull. ^-^

Anyway, sign-up:

Species: Cacnea
Name: Needles
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Personality: Needles is a happy, jolly, carefree Cacnea that loves everything and anything around him. He can be serious when he needs to be, but those are usually only in extreme cases. He's not bubbly or an airhead, he's just... happy! He loves life and he cherishes it as well. Being a plant-type creature, he feels very connected to flora and nature in general. To him, there's nothing more important than making sure everyone's safe and happy. When these things are threatened, that's when Needles gets serious. He also is very aware of his anatomy, and knows that contact with anyone besides rock and steel pokemon is probably not a good idea. He longs for winter, the time when he sheds his needles temporarily, so that he can be able to touch and hug anyone he wishes. Although, if Miyako has anything to say about it, he wouldn't be hugging anyone.
History (Optional): Needles was an outcast from his own kind. Unknown to most pokemon, Cacnea are actually quite brutal pokemon that are ruthless with their young and even more ruthless with those their own age. Elders are usually killed during the time of mate choosing because they are too weak to fight. The group is nomadic and roams around soaking up all of the water in the areas they hold up in; resulting in the devastation of the surrounding plant life. They're a serious problem and are only kept in check by various rock pokemon. Needles was forsaken by them when he rejected the attitude that he should have adopted. He stood up for what he believed in and after getting beaten by his own family in their desert-like home and left for dead, he struggled to reach a small oasis. There he found Miyako, a young and serious Taillow, and begged for her to help him. She did, and in return for saving his life, he vowed to follow her and be her servant for as long as he lived. She didn't want him to do it, but he did it anyway.
Attacks:
Poison Sting
Leer
Absorb
Grasswhistle
Other (Optional): He is especially fond of flowers and will not hesitate to stop everything he's doing to enjoy their splendor. In addition, he also is able to recognize every flower and plant in existence.

Species: Taillow
Name: Miyako
Gender: Female
Appearance:

Personality: Miyako is a down-to-earth person. She does not deal with silly things, she does not like to do silly things, and she has a snobbish air about her. She does not think she's better than others, though she is often percieved that way, in actuallity she really's just trying to be the best Taillow she can be. She can be sarcastic and bluntly truthful. She can also be cold to you if she thinks your not worth her time. She has better things to do, you know. However, there is another side to her, a side that only comes out once in a while when it's needed. A side that's softer and needy; one that is sweet and kind. Though through training and socialization as a Taillow, she's forgotten that part of her. It comes out when people she cares for are in trouble, and it comes out when she feels accepted by others. She shows it often when with Needles, and knows that though he may not know the real her, maybe with time he (and others) could.
History (Optional): Coming from a millitant-like flock of Taillow, Miyako is one in a long line of proud birds. When she was very little, she was trained that men are the ones who fight and train to be tough, and women were the ones to stay quiet and raise the children. She never seemed to like that part much. She was taught to stay quiet and be pracitcal. It was drilled into her head to behave like a proud and noble Taillow, and that if anyone ever made fun of her kind, she should fight for her pride. She never did quite fit into the mold of a perfect female Taillow though, and so when it came for her time to start a family, she simply left and never went back. The only thing she regrets leaving was an old Taillow named "Nimbu" that she often talked with to raise her spirits. He had always told many stories of ancient things and ways that were strange, and she had always enjoyed him. She had come quite a way though, and as she rested at an Oasis, that's when she met Needles. Now the poor thing is following her with some odd vow about being her slave or something. She is awfully confused about what to do with him but... what else can she do?
Attacks:
Peck
Focus Energy
Sky Attack
Refresh
Other (Optional): Miyako's old friend will probably make several guest appearances, and she will find out that there is more to him than meets the eye. ^-^

RP Sample: *tries her best to think up something on the spot*

Miyako flapped her deep blue wings restlessly. When was this strange land going to end? The dry weather and hot winds were searing her feathers; forest birds were not meant for flying through deserts. She had to remind herself why she had come here, to get to the much lusher forest on the other side. There the birds had probably never even heard of her proud kind. What an idea! People who had never heard of her kind....

The wind was picking up again, yet there was a strange sound accompaning it. She peered over the dust swirling around her and titled her head with mild confusion. Was that someone crawling down there?

She had been perched in a palm tree, enjoying the shade of a palm above her and some protection from the harsh wind as well. There were several others around her in the tree, below her drinking from the cool pool of water that seemed to magically seep up from the ground, and others in the surounding trees as well. The neurotic bird near her, a Pidgey, hopped around nervously.

"What'dya expect that that is down down there?!" he said shakily.

Miyako raised an eyebrow. What is wrong with this guy? "Excuse me, but you're too odd for my taste," she said and flapped her wings twice before going off towards the ground, wanting a drink of that cool water below.

That's when she saw it. The thing moaning with the wind. She swooped down low and landed lightly near it.

It was a Cacnea, and he seemed quite injured. Miyako looked over the wounds and noticed that they had to have been inflicted by another of its kind. She turned tail and was going to leave him though. Cacnea were notorious for being agressive and ungrateful. Certainly not worth her time.

"P-Please... don-- don't leave me...!" the Cacnea choked, trying to pull himself forward in the hot sand.

Miyako would have flown off, but she was a bit surprised by the politeness in the cacti's voice. She turned around. "Why should I lift even a finger to help your sorry, bleeding body?" she said flatly, wondering what the curious creature would say next.

He sighed, "My kind have gotten rid of me like the forests they destroyed wherever we went... I- I will repay you if you help me!" He looked at her hopefully.

Miyako closed her eyes. She was rude, not heartless. So she decided; she would help this Cacnea, and she would not care about his repayment. She flew alone, and a stupid cactus would only slow her down on her journey. She shook her head to try and convince herself.

"I will help you to the water. There's no need to repay me," she said forcefully, emphasizing the latter. Luckily, the battle with his kind had destroyed his needles in one spot, and so she could push him from there. The Cacnea blinked as she began to push his body from the back with her head.

"Oh no no no, I-- I insist that I repay you," he said shakily, his voice faltering now that he knew that relief was coming soon.

Miyako rolled her eyes as she pushed. 'Great,' she thought to herself, 'He's insisting.'

Alter Ego's Awesome Adopted from Kagome's Idea: PH33R Azumarill. OOPS! I mean: PH33R Cradily. Silly me. ^_____^

Later y'all!

 

[Random Plushie]

OH YAY! ^^

Plushie would love to sign up, yes she would.

But first..

Alter, I hereby dub thy Horsea, Nalu.

Plushie has spoken. Oh yeah, and Nalu means Wave, yes it does. =3



Species: Omanyte
Name: Snail
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Ph33r Cradily!!!1 XP

Personality: Snail's personality completely matches her nature. She isn't very outgoing, and highly unsocial, rarely contributing to group conversations/discussions. When she does speak, though, she usually says something very profound or well thought-out. Think of her as the type who learns best by observing quietly. She is easily hurt or sadened, and generally keeps to herself. Once you make friends with her, you are a friend for life. She would not be able to handle it very well if she were to lose a friend..

History: Snail originally belonged to a small colony of Omastar and Omanyte that had thrived peacefully at the bottom of the sea, in the human world. A nice, peaceful, and quiet life that went undisturbed by any humans. When Jirachi granted the wish of those Pokemon that struggled for life, Snail was ultimately seperated from the colony, all of it's members being scattered to different locations in the Pokemon world. Snail ended up in a lake roughly 70 meters wide, and barely 35 meters deep.

This specific lake was under the control of a particularly strict Elder, or rather, an early leader who eventually became an Elder. Even so much as speaking of humans would earn one of those unfortunate aquatic Pokemon a harsh punishment.

Ever since then, she has been quite lonely, not to mention deeply saddened. The Omanyte lived, growing up while surviving on pure instinct, not to mention observing the surrounding Pokemon. She eventually became somewhat of a copycat-learner, or more specifically, one who learns best by observing the experts. Snail ended up copying the other Pokemon's hunting techniques, just to get herself some food. She was much too quiet and shy by nature to ask for anyone to help her.

She now resides there, in that lake, wondering if she should continue living under the direction of this.. Elder.

((Btw, even if she is old, she would not be classified as an Elder because she is actually really young for an Omanyte. Yes she is. XD))

Attacks:
Water Pulse
Withdraw
Spikes
Aurora Beam

Other: She has this habit of staring into everyone's eyes. XD




Species: Girafarig
Name: Twilight (Sometimes called Twi)
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Personality: Twilight was raised to be kind-hearted and gentle. Plus, it really helped that she was born with that nature. Yes, this Girafarig is very thoughtful and friendly, finding nothing more pleasing than making someone else smile. But although she seems really innocent, she is also quite the curious type, and often pokes her nose where she shouldn't. ;)

History: Twilight was born many generations after the worlds of humans and Pokemon were split. The group of Pokemon she was born into consisted of several different types and species of Pokemon, although every one of them shared one same characteristic, which was that they all traveled by walking.

This clan followed the laws issued by the Elders, although there was no particular Elder that influenced their decisions more than another Elder.

Every Winter, when food became scarce, the group would migrate to a different area that was not affected by the change in weather, where they could continue to thrive peacefully. In this way, Twilight became used to traveling.

And all the while, Twilight had her parents to look after her.

She lived the life of a normal Pokemon. A happy, carefree life.

Until the Shadow Pokemon appeared. Her clan was one of the first to be attacked by these beings, losing many members as a result. Luckily, Twilight was fortunate enough to not lose anyone close to her.

In panic, Twilight's clan fled to a place at the center of the land, a place under GREAT influence of the Elders. They thought that by doing this, they would be protected, for the most part. Out of pity, and also worry, the Elders assigned them a plot of land to call their own. Seeking to return to the life they had before, the clan agreed with the Elder's plan, settling in near a nice ol' lake, which was beyond their boundaries.. They were not allowed to venture into this lake.

If they did so much as step foot onto it's shores, surely the Elder that ruled there would punish them.

But Twilight refused to believe such a thing. She thought that if she could befriend the beings in the lake, then she would be unharmed. She would constantly run away from the clan's new boundaries and sneak away towards the lake.. But she was always caught by a nocturnal Pokemon.

To this day, she wishes to find something interesting in that lake.

Attacks:
Tackle
Calm Mind
Future Sight
Wish

Other: Twilight hardly ever sleeps, even though she does not have the 'Early Bird' Ability. She can go days without sleeping and seemingly doesn't tire.



RP Sample:

A single pair of wide, frightened eyes peeked out from a small opening in an immense patch of seaweed. Many of the seaweed leaned gracefully to the side as the water's current pushed them that way, giving the creature a clear view of her surroundings. The sight that lay before her was open, undisturbed water, save a school of Magikarp that were swimming in the distance.

It's gone..

The creature crawled slowly forward, inching out of the hiding place. 'Twas a shiny Omanyte, her eyes slowly wandering about; very cautiously. Her lavendar feelers swished about, as if the Pokemon were in preparation to flee.

It had happened again.. For the third time that month she had been ambushed by a Shadow Pokemon.. This time it had been a Huntail. Instead of standing and fighting, she had decided not to take any chances, fleeing into this very patch of seaweed. The creature must have lost her in the green stuff, eventually swimming away out of pure frustration.

The Elder is lying.. Something is wrong.. In this world.. Snail, the Omanyte, furrowed her brow, crawling onto a nearby rock that looked as if it were a good place to stop and think.

But why would he lie? The Shadow things are real, and they are much stronger than they appear. That was true. The second Shadow Pokemon to attack the Omanyte had been a Remoraid, and despite it's small size, the thing had ultimately destroyed an entire wall of coral as it pursued her.

A normal one like me is surely no match for a group of them, let alone one. Snail paused, closing her eyes. Perhaps I should find someone willing to help.. Someone who knows what this all means..

Before the Omanyte could continue with her thoughts, a piercing roar cut off her concentration. Whipping around as fast as she could, Snail spotted an infuriated Huntail jetting straight for her, her little eyes widening again.

Ducking to dodge the first Take Down, Snail opened her eyes and dived into the nearby patch of seaweed, preparing a batch of Spikes, should she be discovered.



----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wh00t. Actual sample.

May add one for Twilight.. But meh..

Yeah.. I basically cut and pasted her personality, then added one line. XD
I'm original, yes I am.

 

[Alter Ego]

Well, what can I say?

Agent9, could you please provide at least a four-line RP sample? I've asked you to do so once already but in case you didn't notice...

Jordan, your char's personality description is too short, you haven't provided an RP sample, and you obviously haven't even read the plot since if you had then you would already have realized that your char's history makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Declined.

Minako, it's not like I'm that much of a hurry to start. Sure it would be nice to do so on Sunday but I can wait for the benefit of additional RPers.

Clow, your wishes have been noted. Now put that cat away before I sic my german shepherd on it. Well, she'd probably just wag her tail at it and look confused but anyway...^^

Flissie, your Swablu is still on the list, I had the foresight not to remove it when I noticed that someone adopted it before you. ^^

Ligh Azumarill, a right proper sign-up...thank you. ^^ As soon as I get an RP sample and a certain phrase (In accoradance with a certain rule) there you're in.

Plushie, meh Horsea now has a name! Yay! XD Oh, and your sign-up is accepted as well and I actually like the history so it can stay. Omanytes would have a very different idea of age. And that RP sample is impressive. ^^

 

[Charon]

Plushie, your Omanyte sounds so sad... ;; *cuddles it* all lonely...

Nalu's a cool name, but it kinda reminds mer of Nala from the lion king. lol, oh well. ^^

If AE's German Shepard failed, I could always but my big ol' retriever to sit on Clow's cat. He's a year old, and technically he's underwight (apparently I walk him too much, and he burns off too many calories =o) but he's still huge and really heavy...

 

[Random Plushie]

I actually impressed you?

Whoamg, my purpose has now been fulfilled. XD

Glad the nickname pleases you. ^^

 

[Minako]

Plushie, Snail's history is so cute. XD She's a great character. ^^

And LA, Ego, I apologize for that. I thought the RP would start but I didn't want to sound like rushing LA. XD; It's alright now, though. Thank you for being helpful to ditzy me. XD

 

[Random Plushie]

Wow, thankies, Charon and Minako. ^^

I didn't know my lil' Snail would be so loved. XD

*Snail huggles you all*

 

[Charon]

It's so cuuuuute, though.

However... I'm pretty sure once Pandora's had her way with her... (clambering all over her, calling her all sort sof embarressing abbreviations of her name, painting her shell with berries...) ...she'll be a nervous wreck... ^^

 

[Random Plushie]

Actually, I think Snail would be more silently pissed off, although containing her anger.. Until she explodes. And then there will be no more Snail. And Plushie will be sad. XD

But I'd still think Pandora's cute. XD

 

[Supreme Edgeboy Max]

Hey uh, I'm waiting for a Dratini at Azumarill's place, so can I join?

 

[Random Plushie]

A Dratini?

o_o

I thought LA said there wasn't going to be a new list until Monday? X.x

 

[Alter Ego]

Yeah, you'll actually have to be an approved adopter until you can join. As it is, it seems like you haven't even read the rules.

 

[Supreme Edgeboy Max]

Meh, I did read it, but it was too long a post. =P Well, lets wait then.

 

[Alter Ego]

*Sigh* So in other words you didn't read it. There was no Dratini up for adoption so you couldn't really adopt it, could you? Meh, next list might change that I suppose. But read before you post.

 

[Supreme Edgeboy Max]

Meh, well... yeah. It all depends on that list.

 

[Rioku]

They walked/floated around the pokemon center to explore thier new surrondings. Those guys are never to tired to explore, Rioku thought as Bulby poked a picture of nurse Joy and Ghosilik tried to scare a Chansey. It worked, the chansey went running and screaming into the hall. Ghosilik and Bulby chuckled. Rioku shook his head and laughed at his two pokemon. They went to sleep for the night.


Is this right?

 

[Alter Ego]

Ehh...ya' still haven't read the RP plot, then? Read it and you'll understand that the histories of you chars make no sense whatsoever...
