    The Realm of Darkness:
    The Vassa Region
    Rated: PG-16

    [PokeCommunity.com] The Realm of Darkness


    History/Plot:
    From the shadows of a large island that was, until very recently, undiscovered, a region rose full of powerful wild Pokemon and overgrown earth. Just five years previously, Vassa was a recently discovered and named region, completely uninhabited save for the Pokemon that roamed the various areas. On a fateful day in that time, a man by the name of Draconis Darc discovered the land, and from there on it became well known as a developing region. It didn't take long for Vassa to become popular, and slowly towns had sprung up all along the areas. Wild Pokemon were slowly being tamed and controlled, and the land was bowing to the will of the people that ran it. Everything was running smoothly.

    Thanks to how new the cities are, they have only the best technologies of the period and are just generally well off. Many people from the smaller, less renown towns in the other regions migrated over. Slowly Vassa began to gain resources and the like. The Pokemon League took interest, and it was then that the first gyms began to be built in some of the larger towns that Vassa had to offer. Though, they did have difficulty setting the gyms up because of the geography.

    The first part of the region, starting at Amber Town, is a rather grassy and plain-like area. It stays that way until you get up to about Route 306, just after Carnelian City, where it turns rocky. By the fourth town, it grows much hotter and almost unbearable because of the nearby volcano to its east. Moving just a ways away from Topaz Town (the fourth town with a gym), is Jade Forest. The ground is frosty here, and the snow and ice only gets worse as you move further on to the west of the region. As anyone could tell, it's a very dramatic region, where only the bravest people chose to go. So many were reluctant at first, which is why it took about five years before the region's Pokemon League was ready to go.

    The hardest part was getting the gym leaders. None of the gym leader applicants of the region seemed to know what they were doing, so that put things off about two years. Finally they had some former gym leaders from other regions agree to come over. Some of the gym leaders have downgraded on positions (though they do not mind because they see it as a good thing, helping a starting region out) and some have risen. They all have Pokemon that can accommodate to their positions, so it truly made no difference. They all have new gym badges as well. Though the first through seventh gym leaders are well known, the eighth hides in secret. None have seen who this gym leader is, and many strive to know. That, supposedly, is a mystery that the new trainers of the Vassa Region will have to find out.

    However, aside from all of the basic things, the Vassa Region is slowly falling to be the darkest regions of the world, thanks to its discoverer. He basically appointed himself, just a year before, the ruler of the region. Now the man controls the region with a dark fist. The once more hospitable and tamed wild Pokemon are slowly returning to a maddened state of rage. None have been able to best Draconis and his ultimate dark Pokemon, and that is where all of you come in.

    Where You Come In:
    You are the trainers, some fresh from the old region and others just starting out as trainers. A secret organization called the Alliance has appeared in the first town, Amber Town, and they are going to use you as a means of beating Darc. You, of course, are being kept in the dark about this whole thing, and are unaware that you're heading off into more peril than just having to defeat the wild Pokemon. Darc knows of the Alliance and what it is doing, and will stop at nothing to have you all murdered. It's up to all of you to save this region, and this journey will show you easily who you truly are.

    Rules:
    1. No GMing/Bunnying
    2. Respect your fellow RPers, as well as your lovely RP master.
    3. Use proper grammar.
    4. Be active.
    5. I have to say, I do enjoy pie.

    Name: Odessa Stocks

    Gender: Female

    Age: 16

    Appearance: Odessa is about 5 foot 6 inches, weighs a little under 140lbs, and is a lightly tanned Caucasian. She has black shoulder-length hair that has blue streaks throughout, as well as green eyes. She has a scar across her back from surgery to repair her spine after a car crash and has earrings with a small sapphire hanging off small gold loops on her left ear and a small ruby hanging off small gold loops on her right ear. She also sticks to wearing running shoes, a knee-length shirt, and a black t-shirt, but avoids hats and gloves.

    Personality: Odessa is very smart, but this mostly gets covered up by the fact that she loves procrastinating to doing what she should be doing. Odessa also has a deep hatred for anyone or anything that can take any kind of joy from others pain. Odessa is also someone who knows that she is still experiencing the world and as such, while she holds her own views and ideas about the world close, is willing to change them based on facts and others arguments. She also tries to be kind to others, but is too easily aggravated for her own good and as such sometimes ends up snapping at others when she doesn't mean it.

    History: Odessa was the last child of five children, first being a brother twelve years older, second a sister nine years older, third another sister eight years older, second a brother three years older, and last Odessa. Her two brothers and older sister all went to the various regions and had their own adventures and Odessa always aspired to do the same them. As she grew up in Cerulean city she learned to be a good trainer learning from her brothers and sisters when they came back to visit from their various journeys. While she did aspire to be a great trainer like her siblings she still wanted to retain individuality which is where her hair highlights and earrings come in.

    When she became old enough to start her journey she explored the various regions of Sinnoh, Johto, and Kanto but spent most of her time exploring and training then actually collecting gym badges. With the discovery of the Vassa region Odessa has decided to entrust her Pokemon into the care of her various brothers and sisters and be the first of her family to take the Vassa Gym challenge. She hopes that she will be successful and that her success will distinguish her from her siblings.

    Name: Garith Gin
    Gender: Male
    Age: 15
    Appearance: Garith, tall, muscular, blond hair. About 5'9 and still growing Garith has light blond hair that covers his eyes, ears and stop at his shoulders. His eyes are a light blue but because of his hair most people do not see them. Garith doesn't care much for appearance so most of the time his hair looks like a tumble weed on a persons head but lately he has been trying to tame it a bit so he can see better. Garith facial expression is just a blank depressing stair into the abyss as if he was reliving a horrbile memory over and over again. A first glance at him and a person would say he's just an empty shell like all the happiness was drained from him. Garith doesn't care much for appearance he wears two colors black and dark gold. A black long sleeved jacket with a dark gold stripe going vertically down on the right side. Black jeans and black shoes with a gold stripe going along the bottom rim. A dark gold shirt he wears under the jacket. Garith will sometimes zip up the jacket and spike his collar to hide his face.
    Personality: Garith is silent but, kind to people and pokemon alike. He doesn't talk much and usually never speaks a word but he will speak when needed. Garith is kind person at heart and will help those and need. He usually keeps his emotions bottled up and if something is bothering him he keeps it to himself. He believes actions speaks louder than words and can tell how someone acts and feels by observing their body language. Garith hates attention, big groups and talkative people Garith loves quiet and being left alone. The only thing that Garith really communicates to are pokemon he loves pokemon and everything about them. He's kind toward pokemon and sometimes smiles when he's around them. Other than that Garith is quiet doesn't talk much and has a soulless look on his face
    History: Garith was born in Vassa ten years before the pokemon league got interest in Vassa and lived with his mother in Amber Town he's father had died the day before his birth for unknown reasons. Garith was taught about pokemon from his mother Kailey, his mother taught Garith maybe one day he would become a trainer when the pokemon league sets everything up. During the 5 years it took the league to get settled Garith studied everything he could learn about pokemon living in Vassa and the other regions. The age of ten Garith knew that's was the age most trainers started their journey but unfortunately it was delayed another two years. During those two years his mother got very ill. For the next five years Garith took care for his mother until a neighboring friend said it was time he went out on his pokemon journey and took over for him. As Garith got ready to leave his mother said to become the best trainer ever and never give up. Garith is now determine to become the best trainer ever and nothing was going to stand in his way

    Hi~! (gives pie to Frostbite) :P Let me know if I need too add more or change anything~

    Edit: Miharu has an IQ of exactly 200 hundred now, kind of explained it (let me know if I need to explain it more) and I made the appearance longer.

    Name: Miharu Mizushima

    Gender: Female

    Age: 16

    Ethnicity: Asian (Japanese)

    Appearance: Miharu has short, black hair which reaches to the bottom of her neck. She likes keeping it short so it doesn't get into her eyes and she doesn't have any bangs. She also has purely black eyes which can unnerve people at times, she can use that to her advantage when she doesn't want to be bothered. She has a yellowish skin colour and has very definite muscles from the various martial arts training she has had. She is 5'5" and wears about 110 pounds. She usually wears all black; a black t-shirt and long black slacks, but sometimes she would mix in a little blue as well. She doesn't own or wear any jewelry or any other accessories.

    Personality: Miharu is usually very taciturn, unless the situation calls for it. She cares very deeply for pokemon, but will probably not help out anyone unless their lives are really in danger. She believes that hard experience will either make the person the best they could be, or break them. She likes to blend into the background and doesn't really like to be noticed. She can have a temper, but she can usually calm down by breathing in and out deeply, or listening to music. She doesn't speak unless addressed first, and is usually very polite to people older than her, unless she decides that they haven't earned her respect.

    History: Miharu was born in Pallet Town, Kanto and started out in her home region. She managed to get all eight gym badges, but lost in the top sixteen. She then went to Johto where she got other gym badges, but didn't challenge the Indigo league again. She then made her debut in the Hoenn region, making it to the semi-finals but lost. Afterwords, she managed to get into the Sinnoh tournament and beat a boy named Kris in order to win the tournament. She then challenged the Elite Four, won, but lost against Cynthia, whom she has become friends with. She has decided to challenge Vassa now.

    Notes: Knows English, Japanese, Korean, Khmer, and French. Has an IQ of 200; she is pretty much one of those "born smart" geniuses who usually don't have to work hard in order to perfect anything that has to do with memorization and learning new things. She usually thinks things through, very quickly, before doing anything and she can usually get information by just reading people or picking up small context clues or hidden messages in the words. Has studied different martial arts and has incorporated most of them into her own fighting style. She can use practically anything around her as a weapon.

    Name: Lenny Taylor

    Gender: Male

    Age: 15

    Appearance: He's bald, plain and simple. Lenny is very sensitive about it because when he was younger people made fun of him because of it. It wasn't his fault that hair never grew on his head, which is why he often hides his head with a beanie. He has thick, black, square framed, glasses which he is proud to wear. Lenny usually wears a button up, red and white striped, long sleeve sweater and black jeans. He wears a locket around his neck, given to him by his best friend after he moved away.

    Personality: He is very sensitive and takes almost everything that comes out of people's mouths seriously. Lenny overacts a lot, especially at jokes. He doesn't get jokes, so he isn't the funnest person to be around. He is quiet when he first meets, someone, but quickly opens up. Lenny has anger issues, and has been to counseling and anger management to control his anger. When battling he tires to keep his cool, but when he is "driven over the edge" his anger affects his battling.

    He cares a lot about Pokemon, a soft spot to be exact. Lenny enjoys playing with them. He also enjoys reading and running. He isn't very "athletic" (he can't play sports well) and his only strong point in the athletic department is his running.

    He keeps a diary around and carries it around everywhere he goes. It's where he spills out all his emotions, his days, and secrets. At first he never bothered about diaries, but after the urging from the people at counseling and anger management class he got one. He writes in it when ever he can, and when he runs out of pages inside his diary where he can write he buys a new one and mails the finished diary to his councilors.

    History: He lived in the Hoenn region, the youngest of three brothers and two sisters. Lenny's mom was a retired coordinator who became a flower shop owner. His dad is a human doctor.

    Lenny was always a moody person and sensitive, even when he was a child. He didn't take up counseling until a year before he was supposed to go on his journey. He didn't have many friends because he could never understand jokes that people often cracked and because people always made fun of the fact that he was bald. He guessed the fact that people made fun of him because he was bald evolved into his sensitivity and anger issues.

    He has journeyed through Hoenn gaining all the eight badges (and a couple of contest ribbons.), but he lost in the semi-finals of the league. Lenny then back tracked to Johto and managed to win the league out of luck at the last second. He is now in Vassa hoping to take on the league and actually get five contest ribbons.

    Zamorak: I did have slight issues with the car crash prospect, but your SU was good overall. Accepted.
    Nakuzami: Very interesting Cyndaquil. Anyway, it was good overall as well. Accepted.
    Doctor Who: Marvelous sign up. Very nice. Accepted.
    HunterZero: Pretty good SU, just remember to separate your actual posts with a line break to make it easier on the eyes X3 No problems, though. Accepted.
    MichaelaTheUchiha: At least you got the pie XD Quite honestly, the appearance needs to be a bit longer, that's not really a full paragraph in my opinion. Another thing, an IQ of 200 is really extremely...crazy. I mean, a normal IQ is in the 100 range. 150+ is genius. If your character is a genius, can you elaborate? Pending
    First Snow: Very wonderful SU =) I rather like Lenny X3 Accepted.

    Lilliana: Your reservation is up in 6 hours.
    MichaelaTheUchiha: Your reservation is up in 9 hoursl
    *All spots are taken/reserved at the moment.
     
    Alright, I edited my SU; made the appearance longer and made Miharu have exactly 200 IQ. I also explained the genius thing a bit, so let me know if you need me to add anything more~!
