    A Single Feather
    Many Pokémon have heard and passed down the phrase "An Angel's wings bear such power that even a single feather could bring our world to ruin or renewal."

    The Fallen Angel's Deceit
    It is said, though rarely even heard of, that once an Angel fell from the heavens.
    As she fell, the sun saw whilst it rose from its slumber, and thinking the Angel was a Calamity from the skies, shot a beam of at her. The feathers on the Angel's wings scattered every which way, her body destroyed.

    It's in myths such as these that the Legendary Pokémon Lugia shows its worth,
    As every feather that fell from the skies landed in the ocean Lugia slept in.
    He gathered together every single feather and reconstructed the beautiful Angel's wings,
    But when he found that the Angel's body had been taken from Earth,
    He knew he could not bring back the beauty of such a gift from Heaven.

    Lugia rose from the water and scolded the Sun, bringing the Star of Morning to shame and rejection.
    The Sun hid behind the Moon and the Mist, saying that it could not bring itself to light the Earth as long as those wings were there to remind it of its wrongdoings.

    Lugia knew how the Sun was. It always kept its word, no matter what the consequences. So, It was then that Lugia hid both wings in a pair of precious stones and hid them away for eternity.

    The Light of Day
    Three years ago, on a cold, uncertain night
    Everyone, or almost everyone at least, awoke to the sound of screaming. It was as if the World itself were screaming, in fact.

    The sound of screaming was only the beginning of a string of mysterious events.
    An eerie mist has settled among the Eastern countries and a portion of America.
    Ghostly appearances have been more frequent than ever before.
    People and Pokémon alike have been disappearing without a trace for no given reason.
    The tides have been raising so shoreline cities become reefs, and small towns by the rivers turn to marshes.
    People's dreams are being invaded by images of a distraught-looking little girl singing eerie tunes.
    Prophets and Mediums the world over have fallen into comas,
    And without rest, keep muttering
    "Oh, my eyes. My heart aches.
    Oh, my heart. My eyes burn.
    I don't need the shame,
    I don't need the scorn.
    Let there be eternal Twilight."
    Over and over. (They haven't said anything but that.)
    These situations are far more noticeable in Kanto and Johto, two connected regions in Japan which are most popular for the Pokémon Leagues as well as being the central states of the ever advanced Pokéball, and other Pokémon-related assessments. (In fact, Pokémon is all that citizens of Johto and Kanto seem to care about.)

    (…..What?! It's true!)

    This is where you come in.
    You start your newfound adventure in Newbark Town, a formerly bright and friendly lakeside village known basically to be the hometown of one of Johto's most successful Professors in Pokémon studies.
    Newbark is now a dreary town that never sees the light of day. The lake has overflowed so much that Newbark itself has become a marsh land. Houses and buildings have rotted and had to be rebuilt on stilts, high above the swampy ground, and weeds and vines have grown on each and every building so fast that adventurers passing through think that the village is old and unkempt.
    You might be one of these adventurers, or you could live here in this dreary setting.
    Your goal could be to rid the lands of the rising waters and blinding mists, or you could be searhing for a way to bring back a loved one who disappeared into the darkness.
    Or maybe the mysterious little girl has brought you to unease, and you're searching for a cure of these nightmarish visions.
    You could also be a relative or friend of a Medium looking to cure them from the odd coma, or maybe you know of these "Wings"
    You might want to take these Wings and have them for yourself.
    So you could kill?
    So you could control the world?
    What is your plan? Is it for good or evil?

    …Or maybe you have them…

    Whew, that was a toughy. Sorry it looks so weird, but I like centering texts and breaking them to pieces when it comes to plot design… ^^; Gomen ne! Ursäkta! Sorryyy!!! So, either way, I hope we can have fun… I based the storyline off a story I've been trying to write for a manga anyway. (Pokéjinshi, actually. See my footers, and you'll know which one I'm talking about.) So, if I like the story in the RP better than what I've been writing myself, I'll make use of this instead… But that's not for granted.

    ---------------------------- + ----------------------------

    LOVEN
    --+ I'll only allow 8 members, including myself. The RP starts after 4 days, so you have plenty of time to sign up.
    --+ I'm an easygoing person…But if I don't accept you into the RP, that means your English/spelling/description SUCKS. Ursäkta! But that's how it is.
    --+ I won't tolerate God Modding, or characters with unusual powers. It just…bugs me. If you try making yourself special, I may have to kick you out.
    --+ Novice Trainers, I don't care if you want some other Pokémon for a starter. You only have the choice between Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Chikorita. (Unless, of course, you're from Kanto… Then you can have whatever Pokémon you please.)
    --+ I know you get this a lot, but…No legendaries no Shinies, no 3rd or 4th generation, no mutants, and NO Hybrids, glädja.
    --+ To all Trainers, Don't catch a Character Pokémon unless their Mun allows it.
    --+ No trying to control the actions of another character's Pokémon, and also-- If you ARE A Pokémon Character, you can't simply dodge attacks. Think logically.
    --+ Sadly, I can't let anyone play as a character from the manga or anime.
    --+ You don't HAVE to be good if you don't want to… In fact, I really want at least one "Chaotic Evil" character.
    --+ If you're a trainer, please don't put down profiles for your Pokémon…Those profiles are meant for ones WITHOUT Masters.
    --+ If you're a Novice Trainer, you can catch up to 5 Pokémon as we go. If you're an Experienced Trainer, you can't catch any. Again, Ursäkta!
    --+ No, Pokémon don't Train other Pokémon. Don't even try it.

    KARAKTÄR

    You have three choices for your character, and you can choose only one.
    One very important feat in this is the "Alliance". You must choose between the following:
    Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil, and Chaotic Evil.
    Your character's personality, history, and involvement all depend on their Alliance. Look up the alliances on Google if you're unsure as to what you should be.

    Story So Far:
    RP Sample:


    ---------------------------- + ----------------------------​

    Pokémon: Meowth
    Name: Cait Sith
    Gender: Male
    Alliance: Lawful Neutral
    Attacks: Scratch, Pay Day, Mimic, Substitute
    Style: Cait Sith is known basically to be a tricky cat, never attacking directly in battle. He always uses cunning plans to draw the enemy into a trap, or use his opponent's attacks to get his way. This can usually be done by getting the opponent angry. He uses the environment and his speed to his advantage, sometimes without even knowing. Cait's favorite attack is Substitute.
    Personality: The self-proclaimed King of Cats has long dreamt of being the richest creature ever to exist, and will use every means possible to reach his goal. Cait has a knack for using people to his advantage in order to stay on top, thus labeling him a scandalous fraud and trickster. However, he has never stolen or killed, and claims to have his own sense of honor…One which most people don't understand.
    Either way, Cait Sith himself is hard to understand. Sometimes you'll think he's going to stab you in the back, and then he shows his good side, then there are times when you don't even know what's going on and he runs off on you.
    Because of his "ego of steel", it's hard to upset Cait. He's always proud of himself no matter what the situation, and is a definite attention whore. Yet one thing will always get on his nerves. He'll flip out if you call him any of the following: scruffy, dirty, tattered, ragged, rag-doll, scarred, worn, or anything else relating to his battle-scarred appearance. He also HATES saying the word "Meowth" for some unknown reason.
    Notable Traits: First off, Cait Sith is one of few Pokémon who can actually speak in human dialect. His native language is Swedish and he also knows English, Japanese, German, Finnish, Kantonese, and French. You can point him out anywhere by listening for his voice, which normally sounds like a little boy with a rude tongue and odd accent (Some call it "Mid-Atlantic Mush"). He wears a pewter necklace (which was actually meant to be a choker for humans) with an ampethyst pendant, shaped like a teardrop, which oddly enough matches with his violet eyes. Due to constant traveling and fighting, Cait Sith's fur has become a few shades darker than most Meowth fur, battle scars decorating the hide underneath.
    Motivation: In actuality, Cait is just an adventurer. When he first heard of the oddities 3 years ago, he decided to investigate for the fun of it. He doesn't know, nor does anyone else, how involved he is in the catastrophe. (I would call it just being in the wrong place at the right time, which is a given typical for Cait Sith here.)
    Story So Far: Cait Sith was born in Sweden and raised by Jöran Greve, a well-known linguist and Pokémon Professor. Jöran taught Cait Swedish and acted as a parent since he adopted him, up until he passed away from old age. For the last 10 years, Sweden and Finland have been fighting turf wars. Men, women, children, and Pokémon have been forced onto the battlefield. Knowing he would be involved in the war, Cait Sith set out on an endless journey. He's been all over the world, learning new dialects and collecting the different currencies so that he could one day be the richest creature ever to exist.
    RP Sample:
    Oft did the river between Victory Road and Newbark Town serve as a passing for visitors from Kanto, as such would be constantly passing through Newbark to the next Town to visit a dying uncle or a pen-pal.
    Today, however, the river was flooded. In fact, it had been flooded for days upon days and nobody knew why the bloody hell the river was growing in width! Not to mention the Mist rolling in about, say, three years ago. Newbark needed a new name, one that fit its current condition.
    A passing Meowth that never said Meowth suggested a rather fitting name, which rolled off the tongue. He had taken one look at the marshy place, nodded, and said in a harsh and somewhat British accent "I say, my good fellow, does Miretown sound any good at all?"
    At that time, the Meowth that never said Meowth was having coffee with a good chap who went by the name of Professor Elm. He found the Pokémon himself quite the intriguing fellow, and found it hard to believe that the Meowth spoke in so many tongues so wonderfully.
    "Yes, actually. I'll speak with the Governor about that, Mister-- Ah, what was it again?"
    "Cait Sith. Gaelic for Cat Faery." The pronunciation of the cat's name was proud, much like he was referring to something majestic and worth Godly Praise.
    The Professor had to take in a huff of air to prevent fainting from this profound discovery, which had apparently named itself. Elm himself was a Pokémon Professor, and to find such a low-class Meowth as Cait Sith that could present himself as if he were a king was absolutely splendiferous! "So then you've been to Ireland as well?" He asked half-calmly, taking a small sip of his coffee.
    "Äsch, No, no. Ireland comes later, after I see Ghana and Hawaii."
    "You're a busy man." Prof. Elm paused, thinking over his words thoroughly. Calling a Pokémon a Man was one thing, but it's another thing when you can't seem to call a mere Meowth by its true race without choking up your own lungs.
    "Would you like more coffee, Mr. Cait Sith?"
    "Yes, please."
    'Ah, Cait Sith is such a gentleman', Prof. Elm thought to himself. "Although" he mistakenly said out loud as he made his way to the kitchen. "He is quite scruffy," at which the cat Pokémon stood up on the table and stamped uncontrollably.
    "Vad var detta? Har du något till säga??"
    Oh, dear. Elm needs to learn a bit of Swedish.
