Two Nations, Seven Orbs

[ElectricScyther]

This is my first RP, please hear me out.
Plot
Across dimensions from the world we call home was the land of Adei-Ryu. This continent was home to Pokemon, rather than people, and spanned a vast variety of terrain, thanks to the seven Terraform Orbs. Each Terraform Orb controlled an element of nature: Air, Water, Weather, Temperature, Plants, Elevation, and Light. As long as they remained undisturbed, Adei-Ryu remained a balanced utopia. Under this harmony, the Scarlet Kingdom in the heart of Adei-Ryu flourished and made peace with the desert-dwelling Golden Horde, despite their many differences.

However, a secretive cult known as the Terraformers wished to seize all seven orbs and transform Adei-Ryu into a paradise for themselves to enjoy. They have tampered with the Weather Orb, causing rains to abandon the deserts of the north. The people of the Golden Horde now have a shortage of food, and many are starving to death. Seeing the surplus of food that remains in the Scarlet Kingdom, they have no choice but to raid food from village storages. The Scarlet King, despite the Golden Horde's good intentions, is angered by this movement and has sent his entire army to fight the Golden Horde.

Plot
Once again, the Golden Horde faces starvation, but on the other side, they face destruction from the Scarlet Army. Appalled by this ultimatum, a group of Pokemon from the Scarlet Kingdom known as the Pacific Fighters has set out to bring peace to the two nations, and at the same time, investigate the causes behind the droughts that now are beginning to plague more than just the desert.
You will either be a Pacific Fighter, trying to bring peace and stability to Adei-Ryu; a Pokemon loyal to the Scarlet Kingdom; a warrior in the Golden Horde, fighting for survival; or an apprentice of the Terraformers, intent on creating your own paradise.

My SU:

Spoiler:

Name: Theseus
Age: 15
Pokemon Species: Jolteon
Group: Pacific Fighters
Gender: Male
Appearance: Theseus is a normal Jolteon, a bit on the short side, with silky-smooth fur that's almost shiny and a dark purple, teardrop-shaped birthmark on his left shoulder. He wears a loose, sky-blue bandanna around his neck. He has a slight limp in his rear left leg, and his eyes, dark purple in color, almost always have an obvious twinkle in them.
Personality: Smart but sassy, Theseus often shows his emotions but always controls them. Though there are few people he would call friends, he keeps close ties with them and will readily help them in times of trouble. Theseus always tries to play it cool, but mostly because, deep down, he has very little self-esteem and security. Usually, he remains quiet, speaking softly and rarely having anything to say. While he brightens up a room when he's in a good mood, he tends to get annoyed easily, especially if made fun of.
Bio: Theseus was the second-born twin to upper-middle class parents in the Scarlet Kingdom. His parents, though caring and generous, favoured their firstborn son, Odysseus, over Theseus, and let Odysseus get away with heavily insulting his younger brother and stealing all the opportunities. Odysseus constantly would beat up Theseus, hence his limp. These days led to Theseus's insecurity and low self-esteem, and sick of these injustices, Theseus ran off one night and lived as a fugitive until the war between the Scarlet Kingdom and Golden Horde broke out, when he formed the Pacific Fighters to bring peace to Adei-Ryu.

[Vulpix001]

This looks great! Good job, I'm so in!

Name: Rose
Age: 16
Pokemon Species: Vulpix
Group: Pacific Fighters
Gender: Female
Appearance: Rose is a slightly taller Vulpix. Her fur is slightly more orange-red than the usual brown. She wear an Amethyst pendant and her back hair curls are usually let down. 
Personality: Rose is very kind and caring. She is usually lonely and always wants a friend. Her overpowering love for her friends is her strongest quality. She enjoys being clean and looking nice. She will never let anyone sacrifice themselves for her.
Bio: Rose was the daughter of a blacksmith and seamstress. She was raised fairly well but never really made many friends because of her parents occupation. When her father died he gave Rose her Amethyst pendant. However, with her fathers passing her situation became worse. She and her mother fell into poverty and as a result Rose learned to live off of the bare essentials. Her love of being clean and a good bath came from this also. Her mother passed away due to malnutrition from the spreading drought. Rose then found the Pacific Fighters and joined to help stop the loss of life because of the drought.

Vulpix001, you are accepted!

 

[Xilfer]

Hm, this seems great, I'm in.

Name: Jack Nebulon

Age: 13

Pokemon Species: Zorua

Group: Golden Horde

Gender: Male

Appearance: Jack is a pretty normal Zorua, he has a birthmark in the shape of a spiral on his paw, like his father. His whole family line of Zoroarks seems to have these birthmarks but all in different places and all in different shapes.

Personality: Jack is kind, gentle, understanding but also has a big temper and little patience. Jack likes giving and receiving all the same and he loves it when he makes somebody else happy. Overall Jack is a good person. Who hates to pick fights, he's calm most of the time and enjoys "chilling" with his friend Tom. He is laidback and hardly worries about anything, but he's very organized, liking to keep things in their place.

Bio: Jack was born to the Zoroark pair Sarah and Jarrid Nebulon, being oldest in the family from birth, he has two sisters "Fran" and "Sheela" Nebulon. He grew up a pretty normal life, until the Terraformers started stealing orbs, now there is no more rain and Jack had to rely on his father to bring them food, because the crops died, the maize dried up etc.
Then, one supposedly "spring" morning one year ago Jack and his family received news that his father was dead. It was a time of grief, but not for Jack, he swore revenge on both the Scarlet Kingdom for insensetvily killing his father and to the terraformers for making him do it in the first place.

I don't know if info about the Terraformers is known to everyone throughout the kingdoms, so if i got that wrong please tell me.

 

[ElectricScyther]

You're accepted Xilfer! And yes, everyone knows that the Terraformers stole the "Weather" orb and caused the drought, but no one knows who they are, or their motives.

 

[Xilfer]

Ok, that's good to know. So, when do we start? When we have more people? If you like i know somebody who might like this RP. But no garauntees that she'll join.

 

[BlissyMKW]

Name: Tyrant(His real name is currently unknown)
Age: 16
Pokemon Species:

Group: Terraformers
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tyrant looks like a normal Tyranitar, but he has a few slash marks on his body. He wears an emerald necklace, and he has a scar on his face. People find him to be a really scary guy. He disguises himself when in public with a black cloak with his hood hiding his face.
Personality: Due to his physical appearance, people think Tyrant is a scary guy. He's normally shy, and doesn't speak much. He can't sit by as somebody gets hurt or killed, so he steps in, and helps anybody in help. He really doesn't like the fact that many people were dying, but he had no other options but to stay with the Terraformers.
Bio: Tyrant never knew his parents. He was abandoned by them when he was born. He was found by one of the Terraformers, and was raised by them. He didn't like what goals they had in mind, but he didn't have any other choices. He had to help the Terraformers.

 

[ElectricScyther]

@ Xilfer: Yes, that's when we'll begin, but no sooner than Tuesday unfortunately. And I'd love it if you could help bring in some others to join. Thanks!
@ Kobora: Accepted!

 

[Groc]

Name: Jed
Age: 20
Pokemon Species: Aggron
Group: Scarlet Kingdom
Gender: Male
Appearance: Slightly shorter and heavier than the average Aggron, Jed is a dull grey, with dark red horns. The horn on the right side of his head is broken in the middle. Two dark circles around his eyes give the illusion of a mask. He wears a black coybow hat with holes cut for his horns.
Personality: Jed has a cheerful and child-like mentality, a true gentle giant. Most people don't think he is very smart, but Jed doesn't mind. He is a bit of a loner, as most people avoid him. Prone to excess, Jed often overeats, oversleeps, or overworks himself.
Bio: The son of a cook and a mailman, Jed was raised in a poor family. He grew up quickly, working from a young age. After evolving into Lairon, he was drafted into the militia, and shortly thereafter evolved into Aggron. During an attack by the Horde, he fought a Slaking, who defeated him and broke his horn. The fight caused him some brain damage, and he works in a storehouse while he recovers.

 

[Spanner226]

Name: Mosca
Age: 18
Pokemon Species: Skarmory
Group: Golden Horde
Gender: Male
Appearance: There isn't much of a difference except its feathers are blue rather than red. He wears a yellow scarf.
Personality: A rather silent one, however helpful, and polite. Though not easily angered, he can be rather...rude when angry, so it's best not to go over the limit. If you can get him to open up a bit, he can be a kind pokemon.
Bio: Having experienced a sudden case of amnesia, he has no memory of his past before being taken in by the Golden Horde(that includes his last name). He seeks out remnants of his past every so often, but since the drought began, he has been very determined to help the Golden Horde, who has taken care of him since he stumbled upon them.

I am looking forward to this RP! From what I've heard, I believe it starts next Tuesday?

 

[Garet]

Name: Jolim Tempestas
Age: 21
Pokemon Species: Absol
Group: Scarlet Kingdom
Gender: Male

Appearance: Jolim weighs a little more than the average Absol; this additional weight is in muscle. His fur is naturally smoke-gray instead of the white fur common among Absols; the oval on his head is white. Jolim often maintains the sharpness of his claws and the sickle on his head. A folded-up black bandana loops around his head, covering up the oval on his head and his blind right eye, which he was born with. Jolim's left eye, the iris the same shade of gray as steel, is said to pick out his opponent's weak spots.

Personality: Jolim is more of the serious type, typically not laughing at jokes and other such things. He's had to work harder in his training to be at a level with the other soldiers, due to the lack of vision in his right eye; Jolim doesn't like to sit around and do nothing. Perhaps because of his seriousness, he hasn't had all that many friends. After his father's death, Jolim became even more focused on his training, which has put off some of his fellow soldiers.

Bio: Jolim's parents, both Absols, were often able to warn other Pokemon of an impending natural disaster, which earned them a certain level of respect. Though it generally isn't common for a Pokemon to foretell natural disasters. Jolim's father served as an officer in the Scarlet Army, and he expected Jolim to do the same.
Jolim joined the army of the Scarlet Kingdom at the age of 18 and soon proved his mettle in combat. When the Golden Horde began its raids, Jolim wasn't so sure if simply fighting them was a good idea...until his father made a mistake and died in one such raid. Now Jolim's focus is on fighting the Golden Horde to make them pay for his father's death.

 

[Arcaray]

Name: Nox

Age: 17

Pokemon Species: Luxray

Group: Golden Hoarde

Gender: Male

Appearance: Nox is as captivating as any Luxray, but his fur is a much darker colour, the tip of his tail a much brighter yellow. His shoulders are strong and muscular, and he walks with purpose, his X-Ray eyes speaking a story much too complicated to interpret.

Personality: Nox likes to keep himself to himself, and doesn't like to get involved in formalities. Although not necessarily superior by age, Nox's experience and wisdom is much respected, as is his ability to fight. Nox is mysterious, and a fan of tough love, but still would go to the ends of the earth to protect his Hoarde. He answers to no one, and none are willing to challenge that.

Bio: Before Nox had hatched, his parents were neutral in the war. However, they had got caught up in something they had wished to stay out of, and not long after Nox's birth, they were brutally murdered by fighters in the war. Nox was forced to live on his own, and never was faced with commands or rules. Nox lived in the mountains, fending for himself and training for hours and hours on end. Once the drought had hit, he was forced to enter the villages, and here he saw the chaos which lay around him. Upon seeing the suffering of the Golden Hoarde, Nox swore to put an end to it. With every starving face he saw, the more he remembered of his parents' deaths. The Scarlet Kingdom were to blame, and Nox was ready to avenge the family he never knew.

 

[ElectricScyther]

Er, sorry for the inactivity, I was without internet access over the weekend.
Godzil, Garet, and Arcaray, you are all accepted.
@ Spanner226, I stated the technology level for the RP in the first post. Sorry, but Porygon2 isn't medieval/renaissance technology. I will accept you if you can change your pokemon to match that. I will wait for you before beginning, but otherwise I think it's ready to start.

That was faulty on my part; I had forgotten to read that one part!

Previous post edited.

 

[ElectricScyther]

OK, now you're accepted. And now we can begin.

Theseus sighed, looking out over the black water and watching the waves lap up on the dock he was sitting. He hadn't heard from any of the other Pacific Fighters all day, and was growing impatient.
I know they know this is the meeting place. Why haven't they shown up? he wondered.
The full moon illuminated the night, enough so Theseus could see well even with his dark eyes, but not enough so that a guard of the Scarlet Kingdom would be able to see him. The Pacific Fighters operated by night usually, because the Scarlet Kingdom didn't approve of their activities. Blowing his fur out of his eyes and lightly tapping his rear paw on the dock, Theseus sat and waited.

 

[Arcaray]

Nox stood rigidly in the entrance of the cavern, his eyes fixedly pointing to the direction of the far away village, just visible in the glare of the moon.
The Moon. Clear nights were always difficult to work in, and of course, there was no sign of cloud cover. The vast desert provided no shadows, and he knew that the Scarlet Kingdom would be looking for any movement that suggested another raid from his Horde.
Nox glanced up to the sky once more, but the chance of any cover was almost ludicrous; for there to be a cloud, there would need to be a promise of rain, and Nox's hopes of water had dried up along with the last water reserves.
The risk of the raid would be high tonight, he knew that. The less experienced would have to stay behind, and he couldn't wait for the better fighters. With one final look at the skies, Nox slunk away from the cavern, the village getting closer with every determined stride.

 

[Groc]

Jed moves slowly through the warehouse, carrying a large crate. He looks around for a moment, listening to the sound of water outside. Everyone else had left, and he was alone again. He sighs, going back to work. "Wish something interesting would happen. Don't care what." After putting the crate on a shelf, he opens the door, letting in some air from the dock outside.

 

[BlissyMKW]

Tyrant was walking around the Scarlet Kingdom in his disguise, looking for something to do. "Man...no assignment yet. This is no fun. There isn't even any people around at this hour." Tyrant thought as he walked around.

 

[Xilfer]

Er, bad news, i can't play on this RP anymore cuz i got two others going.. to much for me to handle, sorry, really.

 

[Arcaray]

Nox kept to the shadows of the buildings, despite that there appeared to be nobody around. He may have made it through the desert without being seen, but he knew better than to try his luck in the town. He'd seen the mistake made countless times before; there is always somebody that you can't see.
Nox looked back to the desert. No signs of life.
Good. Less distraction when I work alone. He hated having to be responsible for the others sometimes; this way he could come to do what he needed and leave.
He was beginning to think that this raid would be far easier than expected, when the door of a warehouse a few yards in front of him opened, a glimpse of silver just visible from inside. Heart in his throat, Nox stiffens.
Here we go.
