Alright then, 9 players works too :3 you're reserved. Happy to see you here!Oh go on then. I'll reserve Tangela
Liking what I see so far! I feel like she and Ralph might not have been friends in school, but know of each other and probably be able to become good friends on the journey!Still very much WIP! Not even a trace of css!
Spoiler:
Name: Arianne
Gender: ♀
Age: 15
Hometown: Cinnabar Island
Appearance: (can be a picture)
Family: While the girl's family has lived in Cinnabar for generations, it only became a high wealth household relatively recently, when Arianne's father and some friends of his opened a small inn for tourists to stay overnight. Over the course of many years the inn has been expanded to a very renowned hotel: now Arianne's parents really want her, an only child, to carry on their legacy - and this is starting to become a cause of conflict.
Brief history: Arianne could only join the College at 13 years old, when after some failed attempts Professor Palm actually persuaded the girl's parents to let her leave Cinnabar Island. In fact, she never wanted to continue on her father's path, and always dreamed to escape her remote hometown instead.
Personality: Arianne is, in most situations, quite shy and taciturn. She's not the one who usually starts conversations or likes to cling to other people - in fact, she only had few close friends in Cinnabar. Admittedly, she's also quite lazy...
Dreams or aspirations: prior to this adventure, Arianne's biggest dream was to leave Cinnabar Island and explore what lied beyond the sea - a feat that she has already achieved partially. She doesn't really know or care about what will happen next, as long as Pokémon remain an important aspect of her life. And on a more specific note, Arianne has always wanted to fly on the back of a Pokémon!
On a more serious note, though, Arianne's desire to explore outside Cinnabar can be seen as running from her responsibilities and from her family to live life in her own terms - and this travel may as well be the perfect opportunity to learn more about herself and accomplish her goal.
Hobbies: Arianne's most notable hobbies are reading and listening to music, but also swimming. The sea and the Pokémon which lived there have always peaked her interest, as the sea is what separates Cinnabar Island from every other land. From here, Arianne tried to find new hobbies during her stay at the college that would give her comparable feelings - for example, exploring off the beaten paths or learning how to ride a bike. At least, she didn't have to give up reading...

Squirtle - ♂
Roleplay sample: https://www.pokecommunity.com/posts/10076231 (this I had fun writing! I'm weird.)
Interesting SU! I will warn a little bit to not make him too flawless. Not being very physically strong or socially apt is a sort of common way to justify being intelligent with a vengeance. As long as you'll have fun RPing him, this is perfectly fine for this RP though ^^Let's see if I can do this right...
Spoiler:
Name: Bruno Dillinger
Gender: Male
Age: 13 y/o
Hometown: Saffron City
Appearance: He has black and shoulder height hair that he usually ties in a ponytail. He wears hoodies, blue jeans and sporty shoes. He has average height and he isn't that strong physically speaking, but he makes that up with his high intelligence.may post a pic latter idk
Family: His mother was a very famous Pokemon Coordinator from another region, but she traveled to Kanto in an attempt to escape from journalists. Some time later, she met a man who used to work in Saffron's Department Store as a security guard who later became her husband. Some months after their wedding, they had their only son, Bruno. However, just as in any big city, Saffron was plagued by crime; when Bruno was about ten years old, his father has framed by a crime he didn't commit, losing his job and sentencing him to many years of prison; he is still in jail and the witness who framed him had left Saffron days later. They also have a pet Meowth called Jackpot because I really do love cats.
Brieff Story: Bruno never had any remote interest in pokemon battling and being a trainer at first, however, after his dad was unfairly arrested, Bruno thought that if he became a trainer, he could travel the region by himself, and then he could find the real culprit and prove that his father was innocent all along, opening his father's case again.
When Professor Palm visited him in Saffron he wasn't sure about giving him the pass to the Trainer School due to his apathetic and serious attitude and his indifference towards being a professional pokemon trainer, but when Bruno told him his goal was to prove his father's innocence, he saw the determination he believed every pokemon trainer must have.
Personality: He acts as an apathetic and serious kid when he's around people he doesn't know well, but slowly softens up with people he is more confident with like his family or friends. He is very clever and it's said that he has some kind of detective instinct. He is very determined, and it is said that he acts too much like an adult, but on the inside he is still only a child. His adult-like personality has led him to not having much friends of his age.
Dreams or Aspirations: He wants to become a professional trainer so he could be able to travel around the entire region and use his reputation as a pokemon trainer to re-open his dad's case. Once that is done, he wants to become a private detective in Kanto so he can make sure no other incident like that happens again.
Hobbies: He likes playing with Jackpot and enjoys taking care of it. He also likes solving puzzles and making mind games.
Theme Song: Hard choice, ngl. Probably this one:
Starter: Gospel/Gastly (Male)
Roleplay Samplenow I'm fucked here bc I've never done this before. I'm also sleepy so if something doesn't make sense, you know why it is.
Spoiler:Bruno entered the Detention Center's visitors room and sat quietly as the warden at the other side brought his father in. The room didn't look much different than the ones in the movies he had seen before; it was a narrow but tall room, it had a few small fenced windos at the top of the left and right walls, it had grey walls and they were made of pure concrete and didn't appear to be clean at all. Standing at his back, there were two wardens, they almost looked the same and didn't seem as if they could listen to the conversation.
His father sat down and smiled while he grabbed the small phone to talk to him, and Bruno did the same.
"Hi, dad." He said in a low voice.
"How are you, son?"
"I'm... fine. Just stopping by for my weekly visit. Mom's here as well, but the warden didn't let her pass. You know how it is, only one person at the time."
"Yeah, I know." There was a short silence, but his dad broke it by asking "How's everything at home? How's Jackpot?"
"Jackpie is fine. Making a mess in the house as always, but he is doing fine." Bruno said as he chuckled, thinking of the other day when Jackpot hid mom's Master Rank Contest ribbon for two months thinking it was one of his coins, she was all nervous and freaked out searching for the ribbon during both months and when she finally gave up with it, Jackpot just took it out under the sofa where he hid many of his coins.
"Ha, ha, ha. Yeah, yeah I imagined so"
"Also, Professor Palm came to visit as well some days ago. I've been accepted in Cerulean's Trainer School!"
"That's great, son! But why the sudden change of heart? I thought you didn't want to do anything with pokemon battling"
"That's right, and I'm still not interesed a lot in it, but I was thinking, maybe if I travel around the region by myself I might find the person who put you here, gather some information and open your case again..."
Once he listened to that, his dad's smile suddenly disappeared.
"Son... Bruno... we've talked about this before."
"I know... but it isn't fair at all."
"Bruno, fair or not I don't want you to interfere in this matter, please. You're my only son, and I don't know what will I or your mother do if something happened to you. You're still a child, after all"
"I know! I know I'm only a child! And I get that you're worried about me! But I too worry about you and I want you to return home with us!" he said with teary eyes "I may not be the strongest kid around, but if I have the chance to do things right and change things for good then I think I have to do it. We miss you, dad."
His dad started crying.
"You're just like your mother, aren't you? Once you make a decision, there's nothing holding you back." he calmed down and breathed. "It doesn't make me happy, just so you know. I still don't want you to get into any kind of trouble, but I don't think I'll be able to change your mind at all. I'm still very proud of who you've become."
One of the wardens at the door called Bruno and made some signals saying that the time was over and that it was her mom's turn now.
"I need to go. Listen, I'm going to take you out of here. I love you, dad."
"I love you too, son."
I think I got all the information we needed even though you didn't type out the SU information categories. So okay then ;)finished my su unless anything needs changin'! :>
That is lovely ^^ Welcome to the RP!The sign up is... pretty much done! It still needs css and some minor tweaks, tho.

Spoiler:
Name: Arianne Chandler
Gender: ♀
Age: 15
Hometown: Cinnabar Island
Appearance
Arianne stands quite tall at barely over 6' (about 1,83 m). She's more on the thinner side, though her years of practicing sports have mitigated this. She is not very pale, though she used to look more tan when she lived in Cinnabar Island (and even then, she'd get sunburnt from time to time).
Her hair is black and, when loose, reaches just past her shoulders - though she prefers to keep it more organized most of the time: her eyes are a much lighter shade of brown instead.
The clothes she will be using throughout the journey are mostly jeans, light sweaters or denim jackets, though she is also considering to carry with her something more apt for the summer season, such as short dresses, t-shirts, short trousers and tops. Her preferred colors for her clothes include black and dark blue (especially for her trousers), but also lighter, pastel colours.
She's already planned out her outfit for the first day of her travel though: black jeans and denim jacket, over a white t-shirt with some red details.
Unlike most of the girls she's seen around the college, she never strays from using backpacks to carry her stuff - her favourite being a quite large gray backpack with purple stitching.
Family
While the girl's family has lived in Cinnabar for generations, it only became a high wealth household relatively recently, when Arianne's father and some friends of his opened a small inn for tourists to stay overnight. Over the course of many years the inn has been expanded to a very renowned hotel: now Arianne's parents really want her, an only child, to carry on their legacy - and this is starting to become a cause of conflict.
Brief history
Arianne could only join the College at 13 years old, when after some failed attempts Professor Palm actually persuaded the girl's parents to let her leave Cinnabar Island. In fact, she never wanted to continue on her father's path, and always dreamed to escape her remote hometown instead.
She started to read, and subsequently listen to music or watch TV series and movies, for that very reason - and her interest was fueled even more by all the tourists she would see walking around Cinnabar Island. When it comes to school, she was on par with most of her peers - but whereas her parents wanted her to focus on maths, Arianne's favourite subjects were literature and, of course, geography.
All these things aside, though, Arianne has lived a quite sheltered and comfortable life in Cinnabar. Sure, the mere thought of living close to a volcano was enough to keep her alert, but no eruptions actually happened during the course of her life.
Personality
Arianne is, in most situations, quite shy and taciturn. She's not the one who usually starts conversations or likes to be part of large crowds - in fact, she only had few close friends in Cinnabar. Admittedly, growing up in a wealthy family made her fairly lazy and disconnected from reality: she in fact might appear air headed and indifferent to a lot of things, at first glance. Furthermore, she tends to run from responsibilities and from other people's commands, something that could get her in trouble at the college.
However, when she's more at ease with the people around her and the environment she's in, Arianne is more open and talkative - overall, a nice person to have around. Despite how she might appear, she's good at heart and cares about not only her friends, but also about all the places and things that help her feel good. Finally, she is quite capable physically and has good stamina - but doesn't like actual demanding tasks as much as practicing sports without any second purpose, and - since she was raised in Cinnabar Island - is very sensitive to cold. Going outside during winter is hard without a parka, a scarf and a woolen beanie.
Dreams or aspirations
Prior to this adventure, Arianne's biggest dream was to leave Cinnabar Island and explore what lied beyond the sea - a feat that she has already achieved partially. She doesn't really know or care about what will happen next, as long as Pokémon remain an important aspect of her life. And on a more specific note, Arianne has always wanted to fly on the back of a Pokémon!
On a more serious note, though, Arianne's desire to explore outside Cinnabar can be seen as running from her responsibilities and from her family to live life in her own terms - and this travel may as well be the perfect opportunity to learn more about herself and accomplish her goal. In short, she knows who she isn't but doesn't really know who she is.
Hobbies
Arianne's most notable hobbies are reading and listening to music, but also swimming. The sea and the Pokémon which lived there have always peaked her interest, as the sea is what separates Cinnabar Island from every other land. Moreover, songs and books let the girl know more about outside Cinnabar Island and acted as a way to escape, even if it was just fiction. During her stay at the college, Arianne tried to pick up different hobbies that could give her similar feelings. For example, she started to explore areas off the beaten paths or to find Pokémon she'd never seen before. She also tried her hand at cycling and skateboarding, not because it was necessary but because she considered that interesting and fun to try. One of the skills that she would like to learn instead, is how to work with Pokémon to solve... practical problems. For example, how to use the battlefield to her advantage, how to surf and fly with Pokémon, maybe even how to help other people who are in danger. She's just not quite there at the moment!
Theme song
OOC: I actually tried to find songs that could inspire me to write more about Arianne, rather than coming up with a theme song once the character was done. So, since I'm now so indecisive about what's the best theme song for Arianne, have three!

Reserving clefairyyy
Psyduck, I choose you~
Your reservations are up, as more than 48h have passed. However, both Magilou and Dragon have talked to me about their character plans so I'm extending your reservations a while longer if you're sure your SUs will be up soon!Going to reserve Growlithe!
Cute character! Will be fun to see how he fares with his Growlithe. Normally you were not supposed to know your starter bforehand, but perhaps Palm saw how much Growlithe meant to David and let him keep it at school and use it for his journey. So that's fine :) And Morning Sun as the move, as we just said on Discord.Here it is!
Nice SU! You are accepted, welcome to the RP!
oohg I love the character! This concept was nice too :D Welcome to the rp, you are accepted~
