Torn Apart- The Rift

[Adâm1]

Torn Apart
------
The Rift

Plot:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, honourable delegates from around the world... The unthinkable and previously thought impossible has happened. Our very livelihood is threatened by a problem more fearsome than any in the history of our planet. This could well be the twilight of the lesser nations of the world. For our Japanese friends have committed an unforgivable offence to nature and the space-time continuum, in the name of entertainment, which now begins to pose a danger towards us all. It is at the cost of the Harmonizer... The attempts to bring the Pokemon world into reality... A real game... Has given us to armageddon."

David Cameron addresses the citizens of the world from Buckingham palace, With Obama, Jiabao, Naoto Kan and Akihito, and the leaders of other world nations standing behind him. An American scientist shuffles onto the podium on which the World leaders address the citizens of the Earth.

"Um... This is... Yes... My name is Michael Green... Ahem... The Japanese caused a huge rift in the spacetime continuum... And they have torn a hole from our world into the world of Pokemon... Which now lies at the entrance to Tokyo. Pokemon have been pouring through with their trainers, and they have destroyed a lot of Japan... Er... S-so if we don't act now, we'll be destroyed along with the Japanese. My plan is simple. We must find the Harmonizer and destroy it. It will reverse the tear in time and end this nightmare.

Our only problem is conventional weaponary is useless against monsters who can fire out bolts of lightning and ice and goodness knows what else. So we must fight fire with fire. We have infiltrated their advance base in Japan and stolen what we believe to be "Starter Pokemon". Untrained and inexperienced, they would be perfect for an agent. Unfortunately, our agents and soldiers have no experience with Pokemon. So we are resorting to... to desperate measures. It is the request of the governments that those who have experience in the Pokemon games come forward to put themselves in..."

"You're insane! You suggest our children go forwards to fight in a war against these... these things!?" Dissentuous murmurs from the crowd agree with this onlooker. The scientist nods slowly.

"I know. We sound mad. We probably are mad. But there is no option. We've already lost huge numbers of our special agent forces. So, it is our proposal that the IPDF Be formed... The International Pokemon Defence Forces, to be prescise. We will not force anyone to do this. But it is our last resort. We experts of science... And the people at Nintendo who escaped in time... Believe this will work."

"And if it doesn't?"

"We are all dead."

The Rift is open, and many players of the Pokemon game have been affected by it, given powers or mutations. It is unknown why, exactly, it is just players of a simple game. They have been sorted into groups depending on their mutation, and are put to combat ASAP after tough training- if they so choose. But these powers, combined with the need for heroes, and human spirit, are all that humanity has left. Hope. Desperation. It is Earth's darkest hour- and we must find out what is going on in the Pokemon World, which is now all too real. Intelligence reveals that the Harmonizer was stolen from Tokyo city and taken deep into the Rift. Those brave enough to take the journey through the Rift may not return, but they must succeed. Or Earth is doomed.

Any other info:

Commando- The frontline of any assault and excellent solo fighters, Commandoes are able fighters with all kinds of conventional weaponary. The Rift has granted these people self healing skin, and tremendous physical strength, as well as good team skills and inability to feel pain. They are brilliant at assaulting large groups with powerful rifles and weapons, and can carry Masterminds around if necessary. Typically Commandoes are men, but there are a few females in the team aswell. Many object to the ue of young children in the Commando class, and as such, less of the younger generation are Commandoes.
Current Commandoes:

Mastermind- The Rift gives some tremendous Psychic powers, and these people are sorted into the class of Mastermind. Eschewing normal locomotion, they levitate above the ground unless they have to walk. Physically they are very weak, but they use their Psychic powers for practically everything, including telepathy, telekinesis, levitation, mind-reading, mental projectiles for fighting and mind control. This is predominantly female, but there are several males in the Mastermind class.
Current Masterminds: Adâm

Shadow- The masters of stealth, lies and deceit, the Shadows are useful in both diplomacy and espionage. Though not as good in fighting as Masterminds and Commandoes, they can kill quickly and mercilessly if given enough time, with sniper rifles, poison and bombs. They are good at finding out information, stealing things, influencing big political decisions and other espionage activities. The Rift gives them very light bodies and silent movement, as well as the ability to turn invisible for short times.
Current Shadows:

Medic- Indispensible, the only class trained in healing, the Medic is unarmed and must rely on Pokemon or comrades to protect them. They are excellent at their job and can heal even seemingly fatal wounds, a present from the ominous Rift. They are also given the taks of general support, communications and geography and the like. The task of medic is arguably the hardest, but it is a necessary one. They have knowledge of herbs and plants that can make remdies, and use both Earth and Pokemon world life to help their comrades.
Current Medics:

Good luck, and good hunting.

Name: Adam Spencer Leonard Locke
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Country of Origin: England
History:
Growing up in a quiet and calm country village, but dedicant enough to become a sophisticant, Adam was an outcast amongst the children of his village, who found his Upper-class accent and manners a constant point of making fun of him. But his steely personality and odd atmosphere unnerved them, usually keeping them at bay. He passed through Primary and most of High School with pretty much no trouble at all concerning education.

At home, Adam was an outcast even amongst his own family. Quietly spending most of his time in his room, he developed a love of reading and the arts, but of course, in a modern world full of gadgets and inventions, Adam developed a love of the Pokemon franchise, and spent a lot of time playing on it. Limited access to anywhere but his room often meant he was ill-equipped for social events, but he persevered.

When the rift opened, and Adam started to experience changes that the government began calling "Mastermind effects", that elevated Adam to the next level of "Freak". For reasons unkown to even himself, Adam left one night with no indication of where he was going, but immediately set off for London- a fair distance, but one away from the persecution of "normals", as he so called them.

Personality:
The way Adam looks at people is deeply unnerving, as if he can see straight past the facade people put around themselves, which is, in a sense, what he does. He is unnaturally perceptive, immediately knows when he is being lied to, and a practically unbeatable counsel in time of need. That is, if he's willing to listen. Adam generally ignores other people unless absolutely necessary, and is typically untrusting of others until they have proved they are trustworthy, and not an easy feat his eyes.

He is exteremely intelligent, both before The Rift and even moreso afterwards. He uses this intelligence as and when necessary, and isn't shy about entirely crushing an opponent to his mental dominance if they pose a threat. He is somewhat paranoid, as after years of being bullied by others, he takes anyone laughing behind his back to be insulting him. Though is not a proud person, he doesn't abide cowardice, and will use his Psychic powers to teach them a lesson in civility.

[Garet]

Name: Jonathan E. Winchester

Gender: Male

Age: 18 years

Country of Origin: U.S.

History:
Jonathan grew up in a small Arizona town that wasn't as well-known as, say, Phoenix. Contrary to any thoughts that Arizona was all desert, this town was up in the mountains, where it actually snowed in the winters. Jonathan had two older brothers and a four-years-younger sister. The oldest brother, about ten years older, had joined the U.S. Navy; the other brother, three years older, was more of a computer-tech geek who, after graduating, found a college that fit what he was looking for. It was because of his brothers that Jonathan became a fan of the Pokemon games as he grew up.

As he grew up, Jonathan tended to gravitate towards anything that involved electronics, and he was one of the best at his school when it came to mathematics. However, Jonathan wasn't the social type. He was generally quiet at school, and he ended up spending a lot of time on his Pokemon games. By the time high school came around for him, Jonathan had ended up with a bunch of Pokemon on one of his games that had been traded and whatnot; as a result, he didn't restart the game with all of his Pokemon, as it would have been difficult for him to get similar Pokemon again.

It was less than a year after graduating from high school that this whole Rift business began. At times during his life, Jonathan had wished he could disappear; one day, he literally became invisible while helping his father in the yard. Other changes soon followed, which would have made Jonathan even more un-social had he still been in school. After he and his parents were contacted by the government, Jonathan signed up to the IPDF.
What else could he do?

Personality: Jonathan is still not the complete social-type, even after the IPDF training. He's more talkative now, though, which helps when interacting with other people. Jonathan knows more about electronics than he'd previously thought he could learn. Which was part of the Shadow training, as far as Jonathan knows. He's learned to be more decisive, whereas before, he sometimes flip-flopped.
The one part about being a Shadow that Jonathan may not appreciate as much, so far, is the deceiving and political stuff. For most of his regular life, Jonathan had been honest and without a tendency to lie; now, though, that tendency and a few others are present in his mind.

Appearance: Jonathan, standing straight up, is about 5'4" and weighs around 125 pounds, partly because of being a Shadow. His straight, brown hair is a few inches long; a small "wing" has been present in the back-right of his hair as he grew up. Jonathan's eyes are hazel-colored. He's somewhat tanned from time spent working in the yard of his family's home. He isn't a total weakling, but he would have a ways to go to be as strong as his oldest brother. There is a faint burn-scar on the back of his left wrist from when he put it against the side of a hot wood-stove as a five-year-old kid.

Codename: Ghostfire

Class: Shadow

Training centre: Washington

Any other info: Jonathan has requested a Treecko.

Dah, don't know what happened to my history, i'll fix it now. Also, reserved for 9 months? When does this RP start?

History: Jessica was born into a family with a sister four years older then her and two parents. When she was eight she was involved in a car crash that killed her father and left her in the hospital for two months while her back was properly realigned leaving her with a large scar across her back.

When she was 16 her step-father got her a gun against her mothers wishes and she soon took up target shooting at a firing range, althouh due to her mothers objections she didn't really get into it until she got her license when she was 17. When she turned eighteen she started going to college to train for a engineering degree in aeronautics during which she played video games to deal with the stress of college and also continued range shooting in order to scare away the pervs of the school from trying to go after her. When she heard about the IPDF she immediately filled out a form to join once that semester of college was over.

Fixed my history!!!

Humanitarian Form

Name: Jose Aldo Reyes

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Country of Origin: Mexico

History:

Aldo, as he prefers to be called, was born near Mexico City, in the city of Toluca. From a very young age, he practiced sports as part of his life, aspiring to be a professional soccer player or swimmer. Although he always played Pokémon, by the time he was in eighth grade Aldo was introduced to combat sport in the form of boxing, and lost most of his interest in the games at that point. Aldo continued to box and by the time he was sixteen, he had a professional record of four wins and a loss. At this point, he became familiar with the MMA phenomenon, and moved to Brazil, and later the United States, in order to participate in competition.

However, Aldo's plans to continue fighting would soon be thwarted by a happening impossible to control by his hands; something called "Commando effects". Unknowingly to Aldo, the opening of the rift affected him especially hard, causing him to become exponentially stronger, impervious to pain, and by all means, barred from legitimate competition. Devastated, Aldo found his 'calling' taken away from him, and could do nothing but blame it on the Pokémon invasion, thus, Aldo returned home to later enroll with the IPDF and begin his training…​

Personality:

Aldo has always been, above anything else, an ambitious person. Not a money-driven person, he believes that all people are in the world for a reason, and he believes that that reason, is to make a name for oneself, by attaining glory in the same way that heroes of the past did it, fighting. However, Aldo is no meathead; more of a philosopher, actually, he is a bit introverted and is keen to write poems or songs to express his feelings at a particular point. However he has no real talent in it.​

Appearance:

Aldo stands at about 5' 7" and weighs 145 pounds. He is of extremely strong constitution, and has outstanding musculature. He has thick, black hair buzzed short, as well as black eyes. He also has a variety of scars throughout his face because of his various fights, including one across the bridge of his nose, a dandy souvenir of the one time he's ever been knocked out in a fight. Aldo is somewhat of an introvert, and thus he tends to have a thoughtful, if not disappointed, look on his face.​

I'm almost surprised not many have "latched onto this" yet. Storyline is fascinating.. I'd like to give this a shot.. Let me know if I need to add or adjust anything, or if something is "too much".

Name: Bruce Callaghan

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Country of Origin: Ireland

History: "Born and raised in Ireland, I began to learn somethings about the world. Things all too, boring.. When I was about twelve I came across a friend, a video gamer. He owned and played almost every pokemon game there is, which got me into them eventually. As for my skills and training, when I was eighteen I was in the military for a short time and learned some on how to fight, and shoot things. Then they had put me into an espionage/intelligence "cell" or "division". I had learned much of how to sneak around and to find out secrets. I loved that job so much, and yet I eventually ended up being discharged for "classified" reasons. Nothing too terrible, but discharged none the less. After that I went to school for classes on psychiatry, learned many things on the human mind, but I didn't stick around to graduate. When the rift open it "called" to me, I knew it was time to step up and fight. So I went to train in London for the fight for the lives of the people of the world. I hope the use my "assets" will prove to be a good enough help in the matter at hand."

Personality: Generally a fairly kind individual, but not without "boundaries" set in his view of life. "Don't cross this line" is a view he has on certain things. If you do cross it it's a world of trouble for you. He can find out many things about your life. Don't make him want to have to, in order for him to "get you back for crossing the line". "Once the line is crossed, it can be crossed the other way as well" he's said in the past. He's not necessarily shy, but keeps to himself. From his history he tends to be "emotionless" unless he's with "close friends". Likes the night-time, free to roam around "without much fuss".

Appearance: Caucasian ("white-skinned") , Blue-green eyes, Dark brown hair, although bits are blonde, almost as highlights, but it's "natural". Dark red sort of "tunic" shirt. wears Dark brown-black "short sleeved trench coat" and red and dark grey wrist "gauntlets", but more they're like "wrist-bands".
