[PKMN OPEN] The Retaliators and The Downfall of Team Rocket [M] (OOC/SU)

[Kung Fu Ferret]

Basically it was an idea of a pokemon hybrid, basically human with pokemon DNA mixed in so they would be human with pokemon characteristics mixed in, probably most of them the features could be hidden by cloths, or concealed in some other method... like possibly a few individuals that were part of some of Team Rocket's other experiments that escaped and are now fighting them, but also have to keep their true selves secret. something like that

I'll allow it.

 

[Typh]

Awesome thank you, I'll set something up, I'm guessing alterations would be to specify hybrid and then what kind of pokemon and list moves given then? just so I don't mix something up

Civilian Name (what you will go by when you aren't in your personalized Retaliator form): Christina Wayfar
Retaliator Name: (your alter ego) Agent Z37 (Z37)
Age (18-49 in human years): 20
Gender (Male, Female, Trans, etc): female
Trainer?Ranger?Pokémon? (which one are you?): Hybrid - Hisuian Zoroark

Partner Pokémon (only one if you are a Ranger, must be completely unevolved. If you are a Trainer, you may start with up to three completely unevolved Pokémon. Leave blank if you ARE a Pokémon, which means you are exempt from the requirement of being unevolved):

Moves (maximum of four for each Pokémon, but be reasonable): Agility, Shadow Sneak, Shadow claw, Copycat

Personality: Shy, timid, but also playful and mischievous. While not the way she started out, she might as well play the hand she's been dealt, and with her unique abilities she might as well join the fight to putting an end to Team Rocket and their criminal behavior. She can't stand injustice but possibly due to her new zoroark nature, she finds alternative ways to handle them. She's a huge softie for pokemon, and often finds the company of pokemon more pleasant than the company of humans.

History (your backstory and how you ended up getting recruited):
Christina was originally born and raised a human in the Hoenn, she even spent some time as a pokemon trainer, battling, raising and spending time with her pokemon which she loved. She had a modest and happy life leading up to her 18th birthday. Shortly after her 18th birthday, she disappeared, her pokemon being left behind in her home. She wasn't sure where she was, but soon that was the least of her worries. she was a natural at bonding with pokemon, as her DNA proved she had a rare gene that allowed her to forge strong bonds with pokemon easily, even when she was young and she encountered wild pokemon, most either helped her or treated her kindly. With this knowledge she was subjected to several experiments, chemicals and gene splicing experiments seeking to amplify her natural abilities, and bring out her inner pokemon. Two years the experiments happened, eventually leading to her hair color changing, her growing the ears and tail of a Hisuian Zoroark, even developing similar abilities to the pokemon itself. During that time she found out that Team Rocket were doing these experiments to herself and a few others. What Team rocket didn't plan for was her ghost abilities to manifest and for her to keep them secret, eventually she found the right opportunity to escape, she phased right out of her cell and into the cell wall... from there, she found out about other experiments, angered and wincing at the pain the others were going through, she decided to act. While she had yet to master her moves and abilities, she was effective enough to create a ruckus, freeing her other captives, and the commotion she made at the base allerted the Retaliators, who lended aid to the escapees, upon finding out of her actions she's been offered a job to help take down Team Rocket, since then she's been going by the Alias Agent Z, though still quite new to the Retaliators, she works hard and does her job well

Civilian Appearance (Pic? Description? Both?): Civilian appearance changes based on her needs, she often times uses her illusion ability to disguise herself appropriately, most of the time the attire looks modern with changes to hair color. Her true form matches that of Hisuian Zoroark, long white hair that turns red at the tips, claws and zoroark like ears and tail, though she rarely shows this appearance out in public or around others, unless she fully trusts them

Retaliator Appearance (likewise):

Her Retaliator Appearance is a bit different than would be expected, it's a zoroark, but due to the experiments she was subjected to, the coloring is different, matching more in line with Team Rocket colors than a standard zoroark, her golden eye color remains the same as her true form, and even with the altered appearance, she remains a ghost type.
Special Abilities (Aura, talking to Pokémon, psychic capabilities, extreme brainpower, brute strength, etc):

Illusion - can cast illusions on herself and the area around her, useful both in and out of combat

Phasing - being a ghost type she can phase through walls, and floors at will

Poke-speak - is fluent in both English / human and poke-speak

Invisibility - as a ghost type can turn invisible but still be present

Enhanced senses - her sense of hearing and smell are stronger than a normal human's senses

Theme Song (a song that suits your character, preferably either an instrumental piece or something with lyrics in English and/or Japanese):

Battle Theme (same as above, but more suited for a battle):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V1pMQKDPco

Other (anything else you might want to add):
In her free time, she enjoys singing, and arts and crafts
She sometimes spends time at the pokemon daycare, just playing with the pokemon, she also brings rescues to the daycare so they can be safe from team rocket's clutches
Agent Z37 or Z37 is a reference to her Team Rocket Test subject ID number, S-37 which is tattooed on her left shoulder
News reports and the like regarding her disappearance stopped after 1/2 a year of her missing, her pokemon stay at 'surviving' relative's home in Joto.
Due to her Hisuian Zoroark nature, she can range from different moods, including playful and social, to... extreme enmity.
her fingernails are actually claws and sometimes she ends up hurting herself with them if she's not careful

More non-trainer girls~ 😆

Nevermind that Christina used to be a trainer, but eh.

I mean, she's a bit of both, but yea... I'm also imagining she might not be too fond of the idea of the ranger stylus being used on her

Hah, fair. Pretty sure her human side's gonna hate it. 😏

Interesting! I look forward to see your character and mine interact.
And I love her civilian appearance! Where does this art come from ?

I look forward to it as well, will be interesting to have yours officially close the book on a cold case she may or may not have worked on

as far as the civilian appearance... honestly it's a pic I found on pinterest which is linked to an artstation post https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Rnm2Dr, apparently it's called Cold Mornings. It's a nice piece.

 

[saniachan]

Also, can I just love how only the earlier members actually rock the tokusatsu-like outfits for their Retaliator forms despite the host's (indirectly) suggested vibe? I already broke that expectation with Sherry. 😅

I honestly considered going with something like that, but decided against it, I was having a rough enough time finding the right images for Christina, especially for her hybrid nature. Plus I think it goes with her zoroark side nicely, since that side would be all about speed and powerful strikes, she'd basicaly be a shinobi or similar warrior.

@Kung Fu Ferret I know you're busy, and absolutely no rush, just wanting to know your thoughts on my character submission, anything you think I should change? I know her retaliator appearance is pretty much how she looks like when not disguised, so I could find an alternative if you'd like.


Thank you for your consideration.

 

[Typh]

I keep reflecting on my character's Retaliator appearance, and thinking I could do something more than just it reveals her true form, like her actual Retaliator form is different enough, like if she's compatible with Zoroark DNA making her a half Hisuian Zoroark, maybe her Retaliator form surfaces maybe her as a 'mega' or makes her a full zoroark? something that would still make her unrecognizeable by even team rocket, who would at some point recognize her appearance / true form.

What does anyone else think? I'm mostly putting my thoughts out there right now, something like below for her Retaliator form? like the aura bit brings out the rest of her zoroark half or her natural connection to zoroark.

That, I would dig in! The cool woman in black's appearance in casual life, and this form as a Retaliator, I like!
But the choice is up to you at the end. What matters is to have fun!

I personally think this form looks really nice! It even has colors similar to TR, further adding to the backstory you made for your character and how she was experimented on by them.

Thanks for your input guys, I decided to go with it, both for some of the reasons mentioned, and for the surprise / shock factor, I am keeping the other image as a secondary 'civilian appearance' image since it still connects to her, but in the aspect of this is what she looks like without any illusions, kind of deal, but it would be pretty rare to see on the spot, at least I'm hoping for it to be more rare for a bit, but depending on how things play out it might be revealed sooner rather than later. Looking forward to it regardless.

One obligatory tag for @mdebourg101 because it's been quite awhile since Andy's last post. Care to explain his morphing process IC?

That person hasn't been online since December 20th... I'm not sure pinging them's going to make much of a difference for now...

In that case what should be done? We have three people in the lobby if I'm reading everything correctly and one active in the simulation room not counting kung fu's character...
