Minus the sword obviously.[/spoiler]

Biography: Luadra, or Lua for short, had a very standard upbringing as a child. Schooling, coordination training, and even Pokémon battles. That life was great, for a while, but something always seemed to be missing from her life. Maybe it was the fact she never had a Pokémon of her own. But that too changed, rescuing an injured and abandoned chimchar. The two created an inseparable bond, and through the evolutions, that bond had only grown stronger.

Having left her home, becoming much too restless, other Pokémon were added to her team. First was Joltic, then Gollet, followed by Wailmer, and then Natu. It wasn’t until she joined the secretive Team Nebula, that she found the missing piece of her team, Snivy. It took a lot of work, but her well rounded Pokémon team soon showed prowess through hard work and determination, until ultimately she rose to the rank of Admin. She now has the excitement her life has always wanted, who wouldn’t be excited trying to capture legendary Pokémon?

Personality: Lua is a lot different from the other team members in the fact that she has a very caring heart. This often leads to conflicts between grunts and her as to why she should even be part of their team. This is simple, she is a thrill seeker, and hunting Legendary Pokemon is one of the best thrills in life. She can also be very serious when in battle, doing everything in her power to ensure that her team wins. She also has no problem putting her two cents worth into any conversation she is in.

Trainer Type: Team Nebulus Admin

Starter Pokémon: Chimchar

Team: Infernape, Galvantula, Golurk, Wailord, Xatu, Serperior[/spoiler]

Here's my app, not the best I know, but thought I would take a crack at a pokemon rp

[Gαr]

[size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Here's my app.

[b]Username[/b]: Garazza
[b]RP Name[/b]: Ashe Garith (Male)
[b]Age[/b]: 25
[b]Hometown[/b]: Blackthorn City
[b]Appearance[/b]: [spoiler=][img]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a242/CrystalCave/Random%20Anime%20Pictures/Anime%20Boys/81710.jpg[/img][/spoiler]
[b]Biography[/b]: Ashe lived a normal and quite childhood in Blackthorn City. His father went on lots of business trips to Sinnoh. One day his father brought him a Pokemon Egg. Ashe took care of the egg like it was his child. He took that egg everywhere and did everything with it. Ashe was taking a nap with the egg when he heard a noise. The egg was hatching in his arms. The egg finally hatched into a shiny Riolu. Ashe was very surprised and happy that he has a shiny version of a rare pokemon. All the other children were jealous, but very happy for their friend. Ashe's family took a trip to see Professor Elm. Ashe showed Elm his Riolu and battle skills with him. Elm was very impressed and gave Ashe a Cyndaquil. Ashe's father was called away on a business to Sinnoh ans asked his son if he wanted to come. Ashe happily agreed to come with his father. Ashe and his father were walking to Sandgem Town. Ashe started following a wild Starly. When the Starly realized he was following it, it flew away. Ashe was lost in a forest and didn't know where to go. A flock of Starly attacked him for scaring its friend. Ashe held his own against the flock. Ashe was eventually saved by Professor Rowan and his father. Like Professor Elm, Rowan was impressed with Ashe's battle prowess. He gave Ashe a Turtwig, and that made him extremely happy. On his way back to Blackthorn, Ashe's Riolu evolved into a Lucario. Before Ashe could get settled in, his parents sent him to Honen to study under Professor Birch. Ashe lived in Honen under the watch of Birch. While there, his Turtwig and Cyndaquil evolved into a Grotle and Quilava. For all his hard work, Birch gave a Mudkip. When Ashe came back to Blackthorn, his parents surprised him by making him an official Pokemon Trainer. Ashe started on his journey and his Pokemon evolved yet again. While traveling through the mountains, he encountered a Larvitar and Dratini. After a long and drawn-out battle, Ashe finally caught the two rare Pokemon and his Mudkip evolved into a Marshtomp. He quickly started training them to evolve to their final stages along. After several months, they finally evolved and his Marshtomp evolved into a Swampert. Ashe started traveling around, finding powerful opponents. Then he set his sights on the Legendary Pokemon. Ashe formed team Nebulus to help him achieve his goal.
[b]Personality[/b]: Ashe is a quite person. He is very caring to people and his Pokemon. He is very smart and can think his way out of almost any kind of situation. Like most Trainers from Blackthorn, he is very powerful and skilled. Combined with his training in Honen, he is a very deadly opponent. Ashe also helps the Pokemon Rangers from time to time because of his friendliness and battle skills. Due to his friendly personality, people and Pokemon alike enjoy his company, unaware of his true intentions
[b]Trainer Type[/b]: Team Nebulus Leader
[b]Starter Pokemon[/b]: Riolu[/font]
[b]Team[/b]: Typhlosion, Lucario, Torterra, Swampert, Tyranitar, Dragonite[/size]

I would've thought that normal trainers would only be starting with one pokémon. But, meh, it's up to the hosts really.

I did say that, actually - it's in the rules.
Other than that, Garazza, your app looks fine.

And this takes care of Nathan, the last of my characters in this RP.

[b]Username[/b]: -Dharc-
[b]RP Name[/b]: Nathan Cyan
[b]Age[/b]: 17
[b]Hometown[/b]: Sootopolis City
[b]Appearance[/b]: Nathan has shaggy brown hair that goes down to the nape of his neck in the back and to the tops of his eyes in the front. His stormy grey eyes have been described as rather cold and inhuman. His skin is tanned from a lot of time in the sun, and he has a small scar going across the bridge of his nose. Nathan is rather tall, standing at approximately 5’ 10”, and he is 150 lbs. His attire consists of long, flowing cloaks and tight-fitting thermal attire.
[b]Biography[/b]: Nathan was born and raised in Sootopolis City with his younger brother, Caden. The two were left alone at a boarding school since their parents were constantly on business trips, always flying between Johto and Kanto. When Nathan turned eleven, he left for his Pokemon Journey around Hoenn, leaving Caden in the hands of Wallace. He returned about a year later, discouraged at having lost to the current Champion, Steven Stone.
After his return home, however, he left again, this time to challenge the Johto League. He won his way through all of the gyms with ease, only having used his Umbreon, and he made it to the Silver Conference. When the time came for the final round, Nathan was pitted against Corey Slade, a trainer from a town he had never heard of. After a hard-fought battle, Nathan managed to take out Corey’s Salamence with his Armaldo, netting him a conference title.
He returned home once more, only to find out that his father had been murdered by a man claiming he was looking for Groudon and Kyogre. He learned of a faction in the far-off Cygrus Region whose ambitions were to capture Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, and other Pokémon in order to control the very forces of nature. He traveled there, only to realize that his brother was on a journey in the very same region…
[b]Personality[/b]: Nathan is very level-headed and cool. He rarely lets anything faze him, and as such is a very good battler. He takes everything very seriously, and is not one to joke around. Despite this, however, he has a soft spot for his little brother, and is willing to do anything to make Caden happy.
[b]Trainer Type[/b]: Normal Trainer
[b]Starter[/b]: Anorith
[b]Pok[/b][b]émon[/b]: Umbreon, Empoleon, Staraptor, Armaldo, Glalie, Simisear

[ListenToLife]

Dharc, I thought you were co-owner. Disobeying the rules, as co-owner, does not set a very good example y'know. Tut tut.

[Gαr]

App is edited, but can I keep the Quilava?

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

Well, KC, he isn't participating in the tournament, now is he? He's only a "Normal Trainer" since he has a "Special Role".

[spoiler=App 3][b]Username[/b]: KCnameless
[b]RP Name[/b]: [u]Michael[/u] (Micky) Anderson
[b]Age[/b]: 20
[b]Gender[/b]: Male
[b]Hometown[/b]: Celadon City (Sort of)
[b]]Appearance[/b]:
- Height: 6'1 or 185.4 cm
- Weight: 154lb or 69.9 Kg
- Body Type: Very skinny and quite tall.
- Complexion: Micky is very, very pale, sometimes being mistaken as Ill. However, when he's embarrassed or angry his face becomes bright red, making it very hard to keep something secret for him or to avoid showing his embarrassment.
- Hair Color and Hair Style: Shoulder length brown hair with a small flick in-between the right side of his nose and his right eye.
- Eye Color: Dark, intelligent green eyes.
- Make Up/Facial Hair: A small amount of stubble on his chin.
- Scars, Tattoos and notable Birthmarks: He has many scars on his hands, presumably from the many bar fights he has taken part in. Tattoo of an Ampharos on his left should
- Clothes: Micky is usually found in a Black Leather Jacket with a white 'The Weedles' printed on the left sleeve, a pair of very faded Jeans with a brown leather belt, and a white t-shirt under his Jacket. He also has a Locket with a picture of the whole Weedle's band inside, with his face torn out. On the outside of the locket, a Pokéball shape has been engraved.
[b]Personality[/b]: Micky is a fun-loving guy who loves taking risks. He takes regular Sky-dives, breaking records for the highest ever fall from which the person survived. Despite this, he has chronic Claustrophobia, and shudders at the thought of an Elevator. He also loves music, loving to play his guitar, although he rarely shows off about it. And with right, being former member of the Weedles(The Pokémon world mixture of the Beetles and Guns 'n' Roses. Name inspired by Beetles, Music similar to guns and roses).
He is a rather witty and quick talking individual, commonly starting a conversation and turning it into a monologue, and yet making the listener believe they are included. He has a gift with his way with words, and would be able to manipulate people rather easily, were he to realise his gift. He is rather distant from himself, having no realisations about his skills with words or music, becoming surprised when people compliment him on his singing or guitar skills.
[b]Biography[/b]: Micky doesn't remember much of how he became claustrophobic, but was told by his parents that it was probably because of him falling down a well at a young age and being trapped there for three days.
Micky was born in Celadon City, but was raised in many different places, as his Parents moved a lot. As such, he had a terrible education and never made any good friends. At first, he lived in Celadon City. He remained there for the first 4-5 years of his life, then moved to Saffron just as his education was supposed to start. In saffron his was taught the basics of Pokémon from the Gym leader of Saffron, but left the city within the following year. For the next 6 years, he was constantly moving from Cerulean, to Lavender town to Vermillion, when his Parent's decided to stop halfway between Vermillion and Saffron. He lived in a small cottage there until he was 15, before having to move again, this time to Fuschia. It was in Fuschia that he met the fellow members of his Band, the Weedles, and that fate began to kick in.
Micky met his Mareep while in the Band, on his way to a small gig in a bar in Celadon. While travelling through the routes towards Celadon, the Minibus broke down, and left them stranded for a few hours while waiting for the Mechanic to fix it. Micky, while taking a quick stroll through the forests around them, saw a bright flash of light. Being curious, as most humans are, he went to take a look, finding a lone Mareep shooting Thundershocks at a nearby tree. It was obviously training, and Micky, bored as he was, decided to watch it. For about an hour he watched it, entertained by it's perseverance, until it stopped suddenly. Micky didn't know why, but Mareep's ears had perked up and it was looking around anxiously. Afraid it had noticed him, Micky started to edge backwards, until the Mareep was shot with a large flamethrower. Noticing the group of Ponyta approaching, Micky snuck forwards again. He knew that Mareep was an uncommon Pokémon in Kanto, so if it was hurt that would be quite bad, and that after that training Mareep was in no state to battle. So, after analyzing the situation, he decided that the best thing to do would be to defend the Mareep. He ran towards the Ponyta, ramming himself into the lead horse. Normally, even with Micky's bar fighting experience, the confrontation would have been easy for the Ponyta, but Micky had the element of surprise on his side. The lead Ponyta was caught off guard, and instantly fell to the floor, struggling to stand. The rest of the Ponyta, waring of this newcomer, decided to back off, running away, dragging the injured leader along with them. Mareep, recognising Micky's assistance, decided to tag along with Micky, and followed him all the way back to the coach, and Micky accepted it as a friend, deciding to keep her as his first pokemon. She also helped start the coach, using her electricity to start the engine. She has been with him for the last year and a half.
Micky became a Guitarist long before he and Mareep met, and it was initially obvious he had a natural talent. He was playing guitar professionally a year before he met his Mareep, along with 3 friends from Fuchsia, the rest of the Band. Unable to think up a good name for the Band, they settled with the Weedles, and became an almost instant hit in Fuschia and nearby Cities. Three years on and they are very big, but Micky has become bored with the Guitarist life style. He took his Guitar and left the Band, and at the worst time possible, because a year later they became the biggest band in Kanto, Johto and Hoenn(Not so much in Sinnoh or Unova.) Micky decided that, because his biggest dream had been to become a trainer, that he'd do just that, and so decided to start a journey. Aware that he'd already seen most of Kanto, he decided to try exploring a bit, and signed up for the Evraglow league, awaiting his journey in Cygrus.
Trainer Type: Normal Trainer.
Starter Pokémon: Mareep[/spoiler]

Probably wont use him, but he's there, just incase.

Oh, so he's an important guy. Okay then, I dont have any arguments for that. [sub]Besides the generic 'everyone is just as important as each other'[/sub] [sub]crap.[/sub]

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

I'm sorry if this or anything else I've said sounds ass-ish, but, if you had been a part of the first two versions of the RP, you would be able to tell that Nathan had a very "special" role. He's basically the guy you call on to advance the plot, really.

[ListenToLife]

Okay. I was just messing around, i'm not actually that bothered. It just might seem a bit snobbish to other people, Is all I'm saying. I'm aware that there were other RPs (I was originally tempted to join some at one point) and as such will not pretend that I know much about the previous story.

Any way, I've added like a sentence to Olly's Bio, if anyone cares.

Awesome - I take it Becca is more menacing than she looks? ^^
[/quote]
Good god yes
She's replacing Thorn, and she's part of [i]that[/i] piece of plot, so she has to be a bit of a psychopathic girl.
That fact that I made her adorable is just amusing for me.

[s]It'd be hilarious if Caden recognized Becca from the Sinnoh Conference. That would make the whole scenario a bit crazier.[/s]

Of course! ^^
Just for planning purposes - is there a specific character you would like to reserve, or have you not decided yet?

[Cherz]

Regular trainer.

Reserve Draconius Leader and Regular Trainer. Thanks Zex!

Sure, no problem!

[Tourmaline]

Are you still open to more or not? I haven't been able to join an rp in three months because of huge family and personal problems, ergo my inactivity, and this looks fun as Hell.

The starters are limited to official starters, are they?

[/quote]
Alice! How have you been? :3
Anyways, yes, there are several positions still open - we would love to have you.
As for the starters, you can select any basic (or rather unevolved) non-Legendary, non-Pseudo Legendary (Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, Tyranitar, Metagross, Hydreigon) class Pokemon.
However, if you are a trainer with prior experience (say, from competing in another league), it is alright to have an evolved Pokemon as your starter.

PM me the application, please. My iPod can not highlight text on here, so I can't start for ten hours unless you do so.

[color=#8b4513][size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Ugh, sorry for disappearing for approximately 24 hours; PC got a virus and my hotmail took on a life of its own.[/font][/size][/color]

[color=#8b4513][size=3][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif]Anyway, just to let you all know, Zextra and I have agreed that all of the Cygrus-native legendaries are Shiny, much like the Crown Beasts and the Rayquaza from Nobunaga's Ambition/ Conquest.[/font][/size][/color]

[ListenToLife]

I just looked back, and I noticed my third guy wasn't accepted or denied. Soooo, is he accepted?

[Ｄｈａｒｃ]

[color=#8b4513][font=verdana,geneva,sans-serif][size=3]Sure, I don't see anything wrong with it. Just make sure that you're able to actively balance all three of your characters. We don't want to see you struggling with using all three of them.[/size][/font][/color]

[ListenToLife]

I've used three characters before and it's been alright. I probably wont post them all at the same time, but I'm sure I'll be able to manage.

I might just use the last one as a back-up character anyway, incase we dont get enough people; though I'm sure we will.
