VOX POPULI – A POKéMON RPG
"The voice of the people is indeed, a melodious sound… For no matter what person it is, they shall always be heard."
Pokemon. For many decades, they were believed to be extinct. They still are. But you know better. For you are one of them.
But Pokemon aren't the same after their banishment from the regions. They barely managed to survive, living in a place no one would think even remotely possible; a nuclear waste site that was named Owari. The surviving Pokemon had fled to an empty town, where they believed they would be safe and able to live on their own. The monster's peace didn't last long. After being bombed by an evil group named the Dark Crusaders that now had control of all the regions, many of the weaker Pokemon such as Rattata and Nidoran went extinct. Some stronger creatures, such as Flygon or Haxorus, were able to survive the initial blast, but eventually the radiation killed them. The Dark Crusaders had completed their mission. They finally left Owari, knowing their foes were now useless against them. But they did not know few managed to survive even the radiation poisoning.
The Legendary Pokemon were the only ones strong enough to survive, though they became very sick. A few Shaymin were able to make the area liveable, and so their new, exile lives began, fighting for only survival of their race. Of course, they had to stay low; many so-called "Brave" travelers often visited the area, and getting noticed would be the end for them. They hid and took care of their young, and so many generations of powerful Pokemon lived and died. The radiation took strange effects on the creatures that lived there, and after about twenty years of breeding, they gained the ability to disguise themselves as the People they so often saw. At the time, they knew not what a powerful advantage this mutation would be.
It is the year 5134, hundreds of years after the bombing of Owari. The place, after many, many years, is now being explored by People since the radiation has worn off. You are one of the many children who were playing outside on that fateful day; the day when the People came.
They arrived with their guns and their nets, ready to attack and capture all of the once-extinct creatures that made their homes there. Your parents managed to discover of this threat in time, and they hid you well in a small shelter under a rotting house.
Only a bit later, you and your companions slowly sneak out to find your parents are no longer there. You are alone, in this big, strange world. You were always told never to leave the area where white no longer coats the earth. But what will you do now, that there is no one to protect you?
There is only one choice. You must learn, escape. You must know why the People hate you so much, and why they want you dead. You must know where they took your parents, and if they're alright. So, taking full advantage of your shape shifting powers, you leave your home, never to come back again.
But where will this road take you?
Only time will tell.
Let your voice be heard.
GAME MECHANICS
As stated in the story and plot, you will be playing as a legendary Pokémon that has the ability to change into a human form. There are a few restrictions to this;
• You can only stay in your human form for short periods of time (Up to six hours), even shorter if you're injured. It takes much of your energy.
• You are obviously not going to know much about the human race or customs, so it will be a bit awkward. If you know how to carry on a sensible conversation with a Person, well, there's very obviously a problem.
• Your Human form will look very similar to your Pokemon choice, but it will not be anything too drastic or impossible in human genetics. Here's an example of a big no-no, using Meloetta (Aria Form) as an example:
1. Long, curly green hair
2. Green eyes the same shade as hair
Doing something like that is very naughty! It's impossible for any human being to be born with green colored hair, and even less realistic to have bright green eyes the same shade as your hair! (If I'm wrong with this, please do correct me) So use natural colors, or you shall be denied.
We'll all be traveling in a group during the RP, starting in an island in the southeastern Hoenn region, which is, of course, Owari. You'll get your pick of one of these legendaries:
• Zapdos
• Articuno
• Moltres
• Mewtwo
• Mew Played by Juniebug910
• Suicune
• Entei
• Raikou
• Ho-oh
• Lugia
• Celebi
• Latias
• Latios
• Shaymin
• Darkrai Played by chaoticlapras
• Cresselia
• Mesprit
• Uxie
• Azelf
• Keldeo
• Virizon
• Cobalion
• Terrakion
• Victini- Reserved - ShinyDiamond
• Reshiram
• Zekrom Played by Cookie
• Kyurem
We will not be including many Pokemon such as Groudon, Landorus, Palkia, etc, for the fact that they are pretty much reffered to as "Gods"; Palkia controls space, Landorus fertility god, Groudon created land, and so on. The choices I have included do not have any extra-special world destroying abilities.
You may reserve a Pokemon for up to 72 hours (3 days). After that, your reservation will fade and the spot will be open. Choose wisely.
RULES
1. You know those rules, in the sticky thread named "The Rules!" Those all are included here. Don't break 'em.
2. We may be legendary pokemon, but really, we're not that uber anymore since all the other pokemon are extinct. Keep it realistic.
3. IFEELif you read these put deliciouscookies somewhere in your postFABULOUS
4. Put lots of work in your SU. Provide character development, too. That's cool.
5. Be active, Dangit! If not, we'll all just assume your character died in their sleep or something like that. If you need to leave, just let me know.
6. Have fun. If you don't you shall die.
