Zextra Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 *Banner by LC* IC Link: http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/topic/297227-pokemon-paramount-ventures-the-legendary-cygrus-region-icpg-13not-accepting/ For those of you who remember the old Cygrus RP, welcome back! For those who were not a part of the experience, prepare for the adventure of a lifetime! Plot: Welcome to the Cygrus Region, a region full of unexpected surprises! While you young trainers wander about, hoping to become Pokemon Masters, treasures and trouble await you at every corner! Enter the Cygrus Region and nothing will ever seem the same again! The newly discovered Cygrus Region has recently been selected to become the home of the Evraflow Conference, the annual Pokemon League Tournament. Since then, many young trainers have left home in order to explore the region, encountering many new and exciting experiences. However, while trainers compete for the 8 necessary badges, an evil team of thugs, known Team Nebulus have infiltrated the region in search of the Legendary Pokemon Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Thundurus, Tornadus, and Landorus, while the evil Team Draconius search for the Legendary Pokemon Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Zekrom, Reshiram, and Kyurem. Whether they capture these mighty beasts is in the hands of the trainers. Trainers start off at Greenvine Town, where they continue off in the hopes of getting to Evraflow City, where the Pokemon League is taking place. Join now to experience the thrills and horrors for yourself! Additional Storyline, by ~Dharc~ Long ago, there lived three Legendary Pokémon by the names of Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion. These three Pokémon each possessed different qualities that, when combined, fully represented a true hero. Cobalion embodied an iron will, the determination to stand steadfast against all obstacles, and a willingness to lead his comrades through thick and thin. Terrakion represented immense strength, honesty, and loyalty. And finally, Virizion personified (or is it Pokémonified?) luck, kindness, and friendship. For a long period of time, these Pokémon protected the lands and beings of Cygrus from harm, and earned much respect. One day, these three met at a spring on Rockius Mountainside, where they found a young Pokémon by the name of Keldeo. Keldeo was orphaned due to the ravages of a fire, and the three Legendary Pokémon agreed to adopt the young Pokémon. As such, people began to identify Keldeo with certain qualities more than the other Pokémon: intellect, purity, and the ability to overcome adversity. Together, these Pokémon protected Cygrus from evil, and eventually went into a period of hibernation, as peace was restored to the land. However, with the emergence of Team Nebulus and Team Draconius, it wouldn't be surprising if they came forward once again. [spoiler=Rules] Standard RP Rules, including Advanced Clause. Please avoid shortposting - that means please make each of your posts no less than four lines long - more is encouraged. No Legendary Pokemon can be caught or owned until AFTER the Pokemon League Tournament - even then, only certain Legendaries can be caught. Each trainer starts off with only 1 starter Pokemon (except for Gym Leaders and Elite 4), unless you have a non-Legendary/non-Pseudo Legendary Pokemon you would like to start with. An applicant is encouraged to submit more than 1 application - being able to handle two characters would be very beneficial to the RP. THERE ARE ONLY FIVE OPEN SPOTS FOR THIS RP - WE WILL ONLY BE ACCEPTING THE BEST, MOST DETAILED APPLICATIONS. IF APPLYING, PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU WILL COMMIT YOURSELF TO THE RP. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO, THEN PLEASE ALLOW OTHERS WHO CAN TO TAKE PRIORITY. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Cygrus Region] 1 — Greenvine Town The starting town for most trainers from this region. It is a beautiful village, decorated with foliage of all different kinds. Also the home to Greenvine Hill, a small cave where the first wild Pokemon live. 2 — Gradnis Forest The forest separating Greenvine Town and Gradnis Village. Inside lurks Bug and Grass-type Pokemon everywhere! Many people from Gradnis Village come here to train. 3 — Gradnis Village A small village (even smaller than Greenvine Town), which is the home to the first Gym in the region. It is said that the home of Virizion is located nearby. 4 — Alluvium Desert + Terramean City This subterranean desert is home to the Sand Citadel, which many trainers visit for the chance of finding rare Ground-type Pokemon. Also, along the coast lies Terramean City, which is home to the 2nd Gym Leader, specializing in Rock and Ground Types. 5 — Levia Bridge This bridge connects Terramean City to Flamvius Town. There are three pathways you can take: You can travel across the top of the bridge and appreciate the sights, you can go through a long high-tech tunnel that serves as a facility similar to the Battle Tower or Battle Subway, or you can take a tram below the bridge for the quickest route. 6 — Flamvius Town Flamvius Town is another coastal city, though it is built atop a crater. The 3rd Gym Leader resides here, and the town is also home to a market that sells various rare stones and items. 7 — Magma Forest This is an extremely dangerous forest. Many forest fire in Cygrus have started here, due to it being close to an active volcano, as well as the monthly ember showers. However, many trainers come here to test their endurance and stamina. Reshiram is said to live within the depths of the forest. 8 — Barren Colosseum These are ruins of a giant battle arena. It still makes good battle use, but it is run down and dilapidated. A certain area surrounding the Colosseum seems to be unaffected by the passage of time, leading some people to believe Dialga rests nearby. 9 — Lavralyn Volcano An active volcano. Groudon is said to sleep beneath the bubbling molten rock. 10 — Graklus Isle A small, dark island northeast of Greenvine Town. It is home to the 4th Gym Leader, and a portal to the Reverse World is said to exist somewhere on the island. 11 — Rockius Mountanside A small city built in the shadow of mountains. They are known for their wonderful Spring Water, which turns out to be their signature item. Many trainers from around the region come here just for a taste of it. Home to a world-famous hotel, the 5th Gym of the Cygrus Region, and, supposedly, the Legendary Pokémon Keldeo and Landorus. 12 — Woodra Peninsula A sandy isle which acts as a "transition" area for trainers between Rockius Mountainside and Hauntra Town. Terrakion is said to live here. 13 — Immortafreeze City A frigid town - at least 5 times as cold as Snowpoint City. Home of the 6th Gym Leader. 14 — Frigid Fields + Mount Aquamarine North of Immortafreeze City, Frigid Fields is the home to many rare Ice-Type Pokemon. North of Frigid Fields lies Mount Aquamarine. These places are homes to Kyurem and Kyogre, respectively. 15 — Gloomy Shaddes + Gloomdelta Town Though appearing to be a forest, Gloomy Shades is actually a layer of thick, green clouds, covering the sky. These clouds conceal Gloomdelta Town, home of the 7th Gym Leader. It is said that Thundurus and Tornadus live among the clouds, causing storms. 16 — Spacial Ruins A dilapidated area with a single sign: Seaside Hotel. However, no hotel can be seen for miles. On first glance, it seems like a misplaced crater, but in reality, it is the resting place of Palkia. 17 — Hauntra Town An almost ghostly city. Though many people live here, including the 8th Gym Leader, there have been rumors that this city is haunted...Darkrai is also said to visit in the dreams of townspeople. 18 — Evraflow City Home of the famed Evraflow Conference, the Pokemon League Tournament of the Cygrus Region. Just getting here is a trainer's dream-come-true! NOT SHOWN: 19 — Everascending Spiral Rayquaza's resting place. Very little is known about it... NOT SHOWN: 20 — Evraflow Forest Celebi's home; Only appears one day in every century. NOT SHOWN: 21 — The Black Castle The home of Zekrom; it is said to appear only to those with the purest of ideals in their heart. NOT SHOWN: 22 — Sword Peak Located in the chain of mountains to the west of Hauntra town, there is a mountain that is said to be home to Cobalion. It is nearly impossible to find. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Additional Battle Guidelines] • Be fair about the damage you and your opponent's Pokemon do to each other. When they should do damage to you, let it happen. We are not here to win every battle we encounter. • It's alright to lose; In fact, everyone should lose at regular intervals (with some plot-related exceptions) • Understand the difference in power and level between the higher-up members (Elite 4, Champion, Team Draconius/Nebulus Leaders). to everyone else. Remember to illustrate this difference. It is illogical for a normal trainer with a newly obtained Mudkip to be able to defeat an Elite 4 member and his/her Hydreigon who have been training together for years. Keep this in mind. • Do not simply call "Dodge" every chance you get. If your Pokemon cannot logically dodge an attack (such as Psychic, which just controls the movements of an opponent's body), do not call "dodge" and expect it to happen. • Be a good judge to you and your opponent. If one side launches an attack that would inflict damage, do not try desperately to prevent it. • Be a good sport. If you have won every battle you have faced, and you meet a trainer, perhaps you can let them win • To keep the battles running smoothly, I suggest the two opponents contact each other via PM to to work things out BEFORE the battle ends. • Before you call an attack combination, visualize the attack. Then, express your thoughts on the combination AS DETAILED AS YOU CAN in your` post, and make sure your opponents can understand what happens. • Do not attempt to pull off an illogical combination. Attack combinations should typically consist of only 2 attacks. Occasionally, you can add a 3rd attack if necessary, but be a good judge and limit yourself. • You must declare and describe each attack clearly and accurately. Don't just say "Oh, but I used this attack earlier, and therefore its effect happens now. • Make sure your posts make sense. For example, a cloned Pokemon from Double Team cannot attack. Therefore, if a Double Teamed Pokemon attacks, and the defending Pokemon strikes it before it is able to launch its attack, do not just say "But you just hit a clone". This is unfair and cheap. The only exception to this rule is Substitute, which automatically replaces itself with the original when it is attacked (but don't forget its cost: 1/4 of your base HP) [/spoiler] [spoiler=App] Username:RP Name:Age: (10-20 for trainer; 16+ for Draconius/Nebulus members and Elite 4)Hometown: (can be from any known region)Appearance: (Either a detailed description or a picture will suffice)Biography: (At least 6+ lines; be as descriptive as possible)Personality: (Around 2+ lines or a couple of sentences should work)Trainer Type: (Normal Trainer, Team Draconius/Nebulus Leader/Commander, Elite 4, etc.)Starter Pokemon (or team, if Elite 4 or Draconius/Nebulus member): RP Sample: [/spoiler] [spoiler=Hosts' Apps] [spoiler=Zextra] [spoiler=Caden Azure] Username: Zextra RP Name: Caden Azure Age: 12 [spoiler=Appearance][/spoiler]Hometown: Sootopolis CityBiography: Caden was born and raised in Sootopolis City with his older brother, Nathan. The two were left alone at a boarding school since their parents were constantly on business trips, always flying between Johto and Kanto. When Caden turned eight, Nathan left for his Pokemon Journey around Hoenn, leaving Caden in the hands of Wallace, who was then the Sootopolis Gym Leader. It is around this point that Caden received his would-be partner - Wallace presented him with an egg, telling him to unlock its true potential. The egg soon hatched to reveal a Feebas. Caden tried hard raising the Feebas, but despite his best efforts, all Feebas could do was Splash, Tackle, and Flail. As Caden grew discouraged, he started treating Feebas as a pet rather than a battler. However, this turned out to be the key. One day, as Caden was polishing Feebas' scales, it evolved into a Milotic, who became Caden's closest partner. From that day forth, until Caden was old enough to leave for his own journey, Wallace became his mentor, introducing him to Pokemon Contests in addition to training him in standard battling. Due to this, Caden was already a skilled trainer a year before he left for his Hoenn League Challenge. It was also around this time that Nathan had won the Ever Grande Conference, leaving Caden eager to start his adventure. When Caden turned ten, he left Sootopolis City in hopes of conquering the league - He won his way through each gym - even winning several contests along the way, until he eventually returned to the Sootopolis Gym, where he found out, much to his dismay, that Wallace was no longer the leader, having his position taken by Juan. Upon defeating Juan, Caden made his way to the Ever Grande Conference, where he made it up to the Top 8, where he encountered Wallace...as his competitor. The two ensued in a fierce battle between their Milotics. However, Wallace's superior intellect and technique bested Caden's as his Milotic emerged triumphant. Wallace went on to win not only the tournament, but also his place at the top of the Elite 4. Though Caden was knocked out of the tournament, he only used it as an excuse to prepare even more for the next one. Immediately following the end of the Ever Grande Conference, Caden journeyed to Sinnoh, where he continued to compete in both league matches and contests. Though he won five ribbons throughout Sinnoh, he decided not to participate in the Grand Festival, instead devoting more time to training for his real goal: the Lily of the Valley Conference. Upon his arrival at the Lily of the Valley Conference, Caden rammed through the preliminary rounds as well as the quarterfinals and semifinals. After a breathtaking battle resulting in a nerve-racking showdown between Caden's Milotic and an opposing trainer's Metagross, Caden secured his place at the top of the tournament. Upon returning home, Nathan presented him with a ticket for a ferry to the Cygrus region, exciting Caden. While Caden intended the trip to be nothing more than a vacation, that would not be the case....Personality: Caden can be seen in different ways - though seen to most as shy or scared at first glance, those who he opens up to see that he's active, serious, but generally a warm person. Inside, Caden not only has a very strong will, aiming to never sway from any decisions he makes, but also holds a strong sense of responsibility, taking everything he can help into his own hands including others' needs.Trainer Type: Former Winner of Sinnoh League; Normal TrainerStarter Pokemon: Milotic [/spoiler] [spoiler=Corey "Rectus" Slade] Username: Zextra RP Name: Corey "Rectus" SladeAge: 16 [spoiler=Appearance] [/spoiler] Hometown: Immortafreeze City Biography: Corey was born the son of a police officer and an attorney, so he naturally has a strong sense of justice. Thus, his parents rarely spent time at home with him - and during the few occurrences that they were, they would babble on endlessly about their newest cases or things along that line. This often left him alone at home with the family pet, a Bagon, and his babysitter/educator, Steven Stone, who home-schooled him. At the age of 10, Corey had already finished college-level academic courses, and Steven decided it was time to switch focus to Pokemon. Shortly into their training, Steven had already measured Corey's potential and capabilities, declaring them comparable to those of a so-called genius. When Corey turned 11, Steven recommended that he set off on one of the Gym Challenges - however, Corey refused, asking for another year to train before setting off. Steven granted this request, continuing to train him throughout that year. The next year, Corey set out on the Hoenn League challenge, as directed by Steven. Despite easily crashing through each of the the Gym Leaders, he decided against competing in the Ever Grande Conference upon hearing of his father's death, instead returning home to pay his respects. Several months after his father's death, Corey journeyed to the Johto region, where he competed in that year's Silver Conference. He won his way to the final match, where he was pitted against a trainer his age, Nathan Azure. After a long battle, Corey lost to Nathan, discovering the many loopholes in his strategies. Some time after his loss in the Silver Conference, while Corey was in the middle of his intensive training, he received an invitation given to a select group of trainers to compete in the Cygrus League's grand opening. He was hoping to see Nathan there as well, but was disappointed to find out that he did not attend. Nevertheless, Corey took the challenge, finding it as an opportunity to test his newly developed form of battling. Upon winning his eighth Cygrus badge, he headed to the first annual Evraflow Conference, where the top five winners would become the region's Elite 4. Corey eventually fought to the top, defeating current Elite 4 member Judas Renict on the way. There he was crowned Champion, with the Elite 4 consisting of Stellar, Desu, Isabella, and Judas. Upon becoming champion, Corey formed the Cygrus Stealth Union, taking on the codename Rectus. As the "leader" of this organization, Corey often spends time doing research at the Evraflow HQ and patrolling around Cygrus. It was around that time where he discovered the existence of the evil organization Team Draconius. After following their actions for a while, he has gathered enough evidence to deduce that they were the cause of his father's death. He has made it his goal to exterminate them for the sake of his father and for the region of Cygrus. Personality: Corey can usually be seen as a calm and collected individual, especially when it comes to his regular patrolling around Cygrus. This is reflected in his battle style, where he is careful, analytical, and calculating.

His father was a Pokémon Trainer, and his mother was a coordinator; as such, he was raised around Pokémon, and he inherently understood that every Pokémon can combine power and beauty in a totally unique way from every other. When Rose turned ten, his father presented him with a Pokémon egg that eventually hatched into a Togepi. Rose and Drilbur played together all the time, and the two were inseparable. When Rose turned 11, he decided he wanted to become a Trainer, and said he wanted to travel to the Cygrus Region to challenge the Evraflow Conference. This displeased his mother, who wanted him to challenge the Unova League. In order to settle the dispute, Rose's father challenged him to a battle. If Rose won, he could leave Unova for Cygrus; if he lost, he would head to Striaton City and challenge the Gym Leader. After a long-fought battle, Rose and his Togetic drew with his father and his Bisharp. As such, Rose's mother was left with the decision. However, seeing how well her son battled, she said he'd do fine in Cygrus, and he set off. Now, he aims to become the Champion of Cygrus, so he may go back and challenge the Champions of all of the other regions. Personality: Rose is a very kind and caring boy. However, his faults include his extreme lack of self-confidence and the tendency to get nervous in the middle of every-day scenarios for no particular reason, and the constant desire to please everyone all the time. In battle, however, Rose shes his normal inhibitions and becomes very driven and resourceful. But, this does not diminish his caring nature, as he will grant any person any grace they so require so long as they are deserving of it (i.e., breaks mid-battle). Trainer Type: NormalStarter Pokemon: Togetic [/spoiler] [spoiler=Nathan Azure] Username: -Dharc- RP Name: Nathan AzureAge: 16Hometown: Sootopolis City [spoiler=Appearance] [/spoiler]Biography: 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…Personality: 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.Trainer Type: Normal TrainerStarter: AnorithPokémon: Umbreon, Empoleon, Staraptor, Armaldo, Glalie, Simisear [/spoiler] [spoiler=Judas Renict] Username: -Dharc-RP Name: Judas RenictAge: 33Hometown: Petalburg City [spoiler=Appearance] NOTE: The weird-looking eye is meant to be symbolic of his actual nature; it really just looks normal like the other one. [/spoiler] Biography: Judas was born in Petalburg to poor parents. Unlike most children, he did not get his first Pokémon (a Zangoose) until he turned 16. Throughout his childhood, his peers often teased him for not having a Pokémon and for being part of a poor family; as a result, when he received Zangoose, he used it to brutally assault everyone who teased him. Afterward, he left on a journey to become a Pokémon trainer, but he was disqualified from the Hoenn Conference in the Semi-Final round because he was threatening his opponents. He then spent many years traveling the world, battling everyone he could to grow stronger and stronger. When the time came for the Cygrus Region to begin looking for Elite Four members, Judas was well-known throughout the Pokémon World for his ruthless tactics and fierce Pokémon; as such, he was the first one chosen to become a candidate for Elite Four member/Champion. There was a tournament held to determine who would receive which position in the Elite Four Hierarchy, in which he came in third place. Because of this, he took up the mantle of Elite Four member #4, and developed a hatred toward the Champion and 4th Elite Four member. Now, he is very reclusive and mysterious, rarely showing his face to anyone other than the Champion, Rectus.Personality: Judas is very sadistic and cynical. He cares very little for others, only showing interest when people are suffering. He is known to randomly send Pokémon from his collection to attack random trainers, simply to watch them squirm. Judas is also known to be a bit of a short fuse, getting angry easily and often lashing out when he does. He treats all of his Pokémon (except Zangoose) like tools, and he could care less if they were happy or unhappy.Trainer Type: Elite FourElite 4: 3; Specializes in Normal-typesStarter: ZangooseTeam: Zangoose, Bouffalant, Snorlax, Braviary, Girafarig, Sawsbuck [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=RP Character Roster] Normal Trainers: Silver Yuja - British Soul Alex Fubushi - British Soul Vasilissa "Vasi" Zankiev - Sapphyre Caden Azure - Zextra Rosencrantz "Rose" Blackwood - Dharc • • • Nathan Azure (Supporting Trainer) - Dharc Elite 4: Desu Crosstar (Bug) - British Soul Stellar Tetanus (Steel) - Admiral Stalfos Issabella Richards (Psychic) - Sapphyre Judas Renict (Normal) - Dharc Corey "Rectus" Slade (Champion - Various) - Zextra Draconius Leader: Coral - Admiral Stalfos Draconius Commanders: Moira - Sapphyre Leon - Admiral Stalfos [/spoiler] [spoiler=Gym Leader Roster] Gradnis Village: Leader: Shibi Type: Grass Badge: Flora Badge • • • Trainer Card: Terramean City: Leader: Randy Type: Ground Badge: Tunnel Badge • • • Trainer Card: Flamvius Town: Leader: Shubura Type: Fire Badge: Inferno Badge • • • Trainer Card: Grakus Isle: Leader: Sorano Type: Dark Badge: Shroud Badge IMPORTANT - Special Rule: Sorano's strength is equal to those of the Elite 4; therefore, trainers typically do not "win" against him. Rather, they are tested - if Sorano sees that a challenger has done well enough against him or has shown enough skill and potential, he will stop the match and present them his badge. In addition, Sorano will rarely ever use more than 3 Pokemon in a battle (in most cases, he just uses 1 or 2), so keep that in mind when making your posts for battles involving him. • • • Trainer Card: Rockius Mountainside: Leader: Vaten Type: Water Badge: Tide Badge • • • Trainer Card: Immortafreeze City: Leader: Virgil Type: Ice Badge: Icicle Badge • • • Trainer Card: Gloomdelta Town: Leader: Lukas Type: Psychic Badge: Clairvoyance Badge • • • Trainer Card: Hauntra Town: Leader: Enzo Type: Ghost Badge: Spirit Badge • • • Trainer Card: [/spoiler] [spoiler=Themes to Enjoy ^^] [spoiler=Current Arc: Arc 2] [spoiler=Opening Theme] http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&client=mv-google&gl=US&v=-Qg412kLafs&nomobile=1 [/spoiler] [spoiler=Ending Theme] http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=kzKWJqDbmzo [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Previous Arcs] [spoiler=Arc 1] [spoiler=Opening Theme] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS6zYS3iBPo [/spoiler] [spoiler=Ending Theme] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIoDWTF0qSo [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Cool beans, well here they are, oh and I decided to lengthen the Bio and personality for all 3 characters to add a bit of quality to the apps. [spoiler=Silver Yuja] Username: ~British Soul~RP Name: Silver Yuja (Male)Age: 15 (Born July 7th)Hometown: New Bark Town, JohtoAppearance: [spoiler=Silver Yuja][/spoiler]Biography: Silver was born in New Bark Town, his parents were pokemon trainers, and thus they decided to catch a Rattata for Silver to play around with. Silver became more of a playful person with this Rattata to run around with, and his parents were happy that Silver had taken a liking to Rattata and they could also tell that Rattata was happy too. As the years went by, the Rattata that Silver was playing with each day had evolved into a Raticate, and his parents were proud of the way Silver had raised it since he was raised to help others as well as himself, and even the Raticate's personality didn't change on evolution which was a plus. As soon as his 10th birthday arrived he got an official postcard from Professor Elm to pick his starter, and when he arrived at the lab, he found that there were 3 pokemon eggs that Professor Elm had received from the Day Care couple. He mentioned that the 3 pokemon inside these eggs were for the new trainers and they later hatched into the Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile and a few moments later the Totodile ran into Silver's arms. Professor Elm knew that the decision had been made and presented Silver with his pokedex and pokeballs. Silver had agreed to travel on his journey with lex as he thought that a journey with friends is more fun then a lonesome journey, and so Silver waited at Violet City, outside the Sprout Tower for Alex so that they could train there together. Now 5 years on, despite the banter Silver had been journeying around Johto, Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh with Alex and when they heard about the Cygrus region, it wasn't long before Silver booked the ferry and went to the Cygrus Region with just his Totodile.Personality: Silver is a playful and warm-hearted guy who likes to help others in need whether that be old ladies that need help across the road or sick/injured pokemon that need treatment, this is because of how he was raised at home, he couldn't just live for himself. Silver also believes that a pokemon needs love and respect since they are living things too, not just tools used for war and thus he doesn't care how strong a pokemon is when it is captured as he thinks he can draw out the full potential in any pokemon, unlike those single-minded trainers who decide if a pokemon is weak or strong on looks alone.Trainer Type: Normal TrainerStarter Pokemon: Totodile [/spoiler] [spoiler=Desu Crosstar]Username: ~British Soul~RP Name: Desu Crosstar (Male)Age: 22 (Born May 22nd)Hometown: Azalea Town, JohtoAppearance: [spoiler=Desu Crosstar][/spoiler]Biography: Desu was born in Azalea Town, a town which had the motto: "Where People and Pokémon Live in Happy Harmony!". His parents, and close family had blessed his birth with various berries in the hope that he will live a long prosperous life and that he becomes successful like his parents. At the age of 7, Desu started exploring the Town on his own, and it was only natural that he took a wander into the Azalea Gym to see what the Gym was like. Inside the Gym which he found to be as beautiful as he thought, Bugsy was in the middle of a gym battle to even notice, and by watching the thrilling battle with neither side giving in, Desu gained a fascination with Bug-Type Pokemon because of how interesting the Bug pokemon species were, he left the Gym not long after deciding he liked Bug pokemon before he was noticed tresppassing. When he was finally old enough to start his journey which seemed like forever after the brief encounter, Desu went out to headbutt a tree as he heard that wild pokemon liked to live up there, it hurt at first but being a fighter at the time, he shrugged it off. The pokemon that fell off was a Heracross, and the Heracross sustained a bit of damage after the fall, Desu saw the opportunity to capture the Heracross with its injury and he managed to capture the Heracross first time and went on a journey around Johto. Before leaving Azalea for his journey, Bugsy exited the Gym and told Desu that he saw him 3 years agao wandering inside the Gym, but he wasn't mad at him being curious as he could tell that Desu didn't do it on purpose. After a journey filled with highs and lows (Including the theft of Rattata and his change in personality after the incident) and putting in lots of hard work with Heracross and the rest of his Bug pokemon, the Cygrus League committee contacted him and offered him the spot on the Elite 4. They contacted Desu because they looked at his record of the past few years and looked at his skills as a trainer, and impressed by what they saw, they offered him the Elite 4 number 2 spot..Personality: Although he appears to be a nice guy and helping out the local Bug pokemon that need his help, there was one issue that came up concerning Desu's past. He can be quite overprotective of the pokemon he owns or looks after, this is because whilst on his Johto journey a group of mean trainers who didn't appear mean when they met had stolen the rattata he had caught thinking that they just wanted to play around with it, Desu trusted them and told them to play nicely, but it was a trap and the trainers called Desu a sucker which annoyed him and he punched the ground in frustration saying he wasn't a good judge of character.

During his nursery years, he met Silver and they later became best friends who did almost everything together. At the age of 8, after a bit of deliberation between them his parents decided that he was repsonsible enough to look after their pokemon without supervision, although they still had niggling doubts about whether they made the right decision, but Alex's father thought that it would give Alex the valuable experience he needs. When he was old enough to start his journey, Alex decided to be a breeder as well as a trainer which didn't seem like a big decision at the time though, and when he arrived at Elm's lab, he received a Cyndaquil from him that had not long hatched from its egg, and Cyndaquil had a habit of exploding in Alex's face to which he laughed at. During his travels in Johto with Silver, who started his journey before Alex, but met with him in Violet City, Alex took a fall through the weak flooring of the Burned Tower and when he opened his eyes after recovering from the fall, he briefly saw what he thought was Entei, to which he believed was just a dream to this very day. Now 5 years on after travelling with Silver through Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh, Alex had heard about the Cygrus region and travelled to there along with Silver to further train his pokemon and ultimately get ahead of his friend.Personality: Although on first glance he looks to be a kind guy and able to make friends easily, Alex can come off as a hothead and argues with anyone who disagrees with his opinion even if their opinions are feasible. Even though Silver likes to annoy Alex for fun, being best friends for years, both of them are used to the other person's banter and shenanigans. Being an avid sportsman, he has the tendency of getting become extremely competitive which is normal for a sportsman in his opinion, his competitiveness around Silver is definately noticeable as they end up playing on the opposite team when playing football (talking about soccer btw), and all their friends like to pit them with each other just to see how competitive they really are. This competitiveness was present during their Johto Journey because they kept competing over them same pokemon when they both wanted it and most of the time both of them failed when the pokemon got away. Also there are no lengths that Alex will go to protect his own pokemon as he jumped off a cliff on Route 47 to save his Cyndaquil.Trainer Type: Normal TrainerStarter Pokemon: Cyndaquil [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm placing all of my old characters from the previous RP here. I'll update them later. [spoiler=Daniel Andrews]Username: TheFinalFanRP Name: Daniel "ThatGuyWithTheGoggles" AndrewsAge: 20Hometown: Castelia City, UnovaAppearance: Daniel has very spiky dirty-blond hair with a yellow patch, though this patch is actually Chu, his Joltik, who feeds off of his static electricity by riding in his hair. His spiky hair is actually a mullet that has spiked up thanks to Chu. He has striking blue eyes, and a lanky build, being 6'4". He has on a T-Shirt with some sort of funny Pokemon anecdote, a safari vest, jeans, hiking boots, a pair of headphones around his neck that are attached to a hi-tech SilphCo device called a "myPod", and a pair of aviator goggles just above his hairline. He also carries around a backpack that has all sorts of gear, including a special extendable bug-catching net, camera and a laptop.Biography: Daniel Andrews, aka, "ThatGuyWithTheGoggles", is a legend on the Pokemon World's Internet. Born and raised in Castelia City, Daniel is the son of Victoria Andrews, a headstrong District Attorney, and Colin Andrews, CEO of Andrews-Mizuhana Shipping, a transportation company operating out of the port. He caught his first Pokemon, a Krabby, when he was 8, and became fascinated with the Bug Pokemon living in Pinwheel Forest, becoming a Bug Catcher. After accumulating loads of information, Daniel started the site "ThatGuyWithTheGoggles.mon" when he was 14 so he could help out Bug Catchers (and later Pokemaniacs) everywhere, becoming the Chief Administrator. With helpful information detailing the latest swarms and how to find the rarest of bugs, TGWTG.mon has grown into an Internet powerhouse. With supporting admins "Linkcada", "TheSpinnyOne", and "TheShedinjaSnob", Daniel now has hundreds of thousands of fans across the world and dozens of contributors to his site, including his idol, Arti, the Castelia City Gym Leader. Arti, hearing of rare Pokemon in the Cyrgus Region, has tasked his student to go find it, so Daniel has taken Chu, one of his prized Pokemon, with him. He turned this opportunity to do a documentary series on Cyrgus, and is chronicling his exploits in a regular series using his laptop's webcam.Personality: Daniel is very...eccentric...He can be completely calm and serious one moment, and totally outrageous and silly the next. However, he is very caring about Pokemon, and gets along with with them, especially Bug Pokemon. However, he hates Flying Pokemon and frog-like Pokemon, since they eat bugs. He is technologically literate and uses his laptop often, but he doesn't really like the outdoors, growing up in a city, and is terrible at living off of the land. He hates people who only see Pokemon as tools and objects or wants to release them into the wild, like Team Rocket or Team Plasma.Trainer Type: TrainerStarter Pokemon: Joltik (Nicknamed "Chu") [/spoiler] [spoiler=Manos]Username: TheFinalFanRP Name: ManosAge: 23Hometown: Unknown, but suspected to be Mt. Silver, JohtoAppearance: Manos has platinum-blonde hair spiked back, though a few jagged bangs poke out over his face, blood-red eyes, polarized sunglasses, and a jagged scar over his left eye. Underneath his uniform are several scars and poorly-healed wounds, probably from fighting against Legendaries. He has a black leather jacket with silver and bronze trim, the Team Nebulus emblem in white embroidering on the back of his jacket, black jeans, black combat boots with steel toes, black biker's gloves, a white T-sleeveless T-shirt underneath his jacket with a black Team Nebulus symbol, and a gold chain around his neck. He can usually be found near or on his motorcycle, Damocles. The motorcycle is large, has an exposed engine, and mostly silver with a black front plate over the front wheel that has the Team Nebulus symbol on it, as well as room in the back for a Pokemon or a human to sit. He usually pulls his sunglasses down over his eyes when riding his motorcycle.Biography: Much of Manos' background is unknown, but he joined Oculus' group shortly after he formed it, adding a bit of aggressiveness to the cause. He agreed with Oculus' teaching, but where Oculus had the vision, Manos carried it out, serving as the sword of the armored leader. Eventually, Oculus needed someone to command his forces out in the field and handle the dirty details of the organization, so he entrusted Oculus with the power to keep things running, all the whole maintaining the illusion that he was in charge. Manos kept the gears oiled behind the scenes, and occasionally handled a mission.Personality: Manos is rude, crass, and generally doesn't care about anything except his own goals and the goals of Team Nebulus. It is quite surprising to people that he is a commander, but his ruthlessness and tenacity make him a tough opponent. Also, Manos HATES Legendaries with a passion. He sees them as obstructions to the advancement of humanity and Pokemon, gods that wish to simply fight and lord over specific elements, instead of actually contributing to anything. His wish to do away with Legendaries happens to coincide with Oculus' desire for a logical world.Trainer Type: Team Nebulus Commander (Actually Co-Leader)Starter Pokemon: Sneasel, Pawniard, Houndour [/spoiler] [spoiler=Cordia]Username: TheFinalFanRP Name: CordiaAge: 19Hometown: Hauntra TownAppearance: Cordia has long, curly black hair, pale skin, and purple eyes behind round glasses. She wears a black sleeveless jacket over a silver and bronzed-striped shirt with matching hip-length stocking, black shoes, a white scarf around her neck with the Team Nebulus in black on the ends, and a black beret. She usually has a black bag with the Team Nebulus in white on it, in which she carries a laptop.Biography: Where Manos is, Cordia usually isn't too far behind. Rumor has it that she had joined Nebulus because a guy she liked had joined, only to be mistaken for Draconius. However, she was smitten by Manos and worked hard to become his secretary. Whenever Manos issues an order, Cordia makes sure it is carried out. No one really knows what she sees in the spiky-haired jerk, but she would do anything for him, though he doesn't seem to return her affections, or even be aware of them. Surprisingly, she is a Moderator on ThatGuyWithThe Goggles.mon named "Mawsgurl", after her beloved Mawile, though she has never met Daniel.Personality: Cordia is submissive and meek, but she does have a bit of a temper. She is head-over-heels for Manos for still unexplained reasons, and she gets very embarrassed whenever asked. She is always willing to follow orders, and is a bit of a tragic lover.Trainer Type: Team Nebulus CommanderStarter Pokemon: Sableye, Mawile [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zextra Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Cool beans, well here they are, oh and I decided to lengthen the Bio and personality for all 3 characters to add a bit of quality to the apps. [spoiler=Silver Yuja] Username: ~British Soul~RP Name: Silver Yuja (Male)Age: 15 (Born July 7th)Hometown: New Bark Town, JohtoAppearance: [spoiler=Silver Yuja][/spoiler]Biography: Silver was born in New Bark Town, his parents were pokemon trainers, and thus they decided to catch a Rattata for Silver to play around with. Silver became more of a playful person with this Rattata to run around with, and his parents were happy that Silver had taken a liking to Rattata and they could also tell that Rattata was happy too. As the years went by, the Rattata that Silver was playing with each day had evolved into a Raticate, and his parents were proud of the way Silver had raised it since he was raised to help others as well as himself, and even the Raticate's personality didn't change on evolution which was a plus. As soon as his 10th birthday arrived he got an official postcard from Professor Elm to pick his starter, and when he arrived at the lab, he found that there were 3 pokemon eggs that Professor Elm had received from the Day Care couple. He mentioned that the 3 pokemon inside these eggs were for the new trainers and they later hatched into the Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile and a few moments later the Totodile ran into Silver's arms. Professor Elm knew that the decision had been made and presented Silver with his pokedex and pokeballs. Now 5 years on Silver had been journeying around Johto, Kanto, Hoenn and Sinnoh, Silver went to the Cygrus Region with just his Totodile.Personality: Silver is a playful and warm-hearted guy who likes to help others in need whether that be old ladies that need help across the road or sick/injured pokemon that need treatment, this is because of how he was raised at home, he couldn't just live for himself. Silver also believes that a pokemon needs love and respect since they are living things too, not just tools used for war and thus he doesn't care how strong a pokemon is when it is captured as he thinks he can draw out the full potential in any pokemon, unlike those single-minded trainers who decide if a pokemon is weak or strong on looks alone.Trainer Type: Normal TrainerStarter Pokemon: Totodile [/spoiler] [spoiler=Desu Crosstar]Username: ~British Soul~RP Name: Desu Crosstar (Male)Age: 22 (Born May 22nd)Hometown: Azalea Town, JohtoAppearance: [spoiler=Desu Crosstar][/spoiler]Biography: Desu was born in Azalea Town, a town which had the motto: "Where People and Pokémon Live in Happy Harmony!". His parents, and close family had blessed his birth with various berries in the hope that he will live a long prosperous life and that he becomes successful like his parents. At the age of 7, Desu started exploring the Town on his own, and it was only natural that he took a wander into the Azalea Gym to see what the Gym was like. Inside the Gym which he found to be as beautiful as he thought, Bugsy was in the middle of a gym battle to even notice, and by watching the thrilling battle with neither side giving in, Desu gained a fascination with Bug-Type Pokemon because of how interesting the Bug pokemon species were, he left the Gym not long after deciding he liked Bug pokemon before he was noticed tresppassing. When he was finally old enough to start his journey which seemed like forever after the brief encounter, Desu went out to headbutt a tree as he heard that wild pokemon liked to live up there, it hurt at first but being a fighter at the time, he shrugged it off. The pokemon that fell off was a Heracross, and the Heracross sustained a bit of damage after the fall, Desu saw the opportunity to capture the Heracross with its injury and he managed to capture the Heracross first time and went on a journey around Johto. Before leaving Azalea for his journey, Bugsy exited the Gym and told Desu that he saw him 3 years agao wandering inside the Gym, but he wasn't mad at him being curious as he could tell that Desu didn't do it on purpose. After a journey filled with highs and lows (Including the theft of Rattata and his change in personality after the incident) and putting in lots of hard work with Heracross and the rest of his Bug pokemon he was recognised by the Cygrus League committee and offered him the spot of Elite 4 member number 2 in the Cygrus Region.Personality: Although he appears to be a nice guy and helping out the local Bug pokemon that need his help, there was one issue that came up concerning Desu's past. He can be quite overprotective of the pokemon he owns or looks after, this is because whilst on his Johto journey a group of mean trainers who didn't appear mean when they met had stolen the rattata he had caught thinking that they just wanted to play around with it, Desu trusted them and told them to play nicely, but it was a trap and the trainers called Desu a sucker which annoyed him and he punched the ground in frustration saying he wasn't a good judge of character. Since then he has had a hard time trusting other people with his pokemon just in case the same thing happens again, he doesn't even fully trust the Day Care couple.Trainer Type: Elite 4Elite 4: Number 2; Specialises in Bug-typesStarter Pokemon: Heracross Pokemon Team: Volcarona, Escavalier, Accelgor, Drapion, Heracross, Scizor [/spoiler] [spoiler=Alex Fubushi]Username: ~British Soul~RP Name: Alex Fubushi (Male)Age: 15 (Born August 8th)Hometown: New Bark TownAppearance: [spoiler=Appearance][/spoiler]Biography: Alex was born in New Bark Town, his mother was top coordinator who had won the Grand Festival and the Ribbon Cup which resides in the family trophy cabinet and his father was a pokemon trainer whose achievements included winning the Orange League trophy.

Hopefully this doesn't die like the last couple of times :/ We're hoping it won't - that's why we've decided to severely limit the number of accepted applicants this time. Only five places? :o I was thinking great, I could ship a character from another failing RP over here, but if its gonna rob someone else who'se gonna be better/more active I'd better not :( The whole point of having such a limit is to make each RP'er more involved (and so we can avoid too many sideplots). If you think you're able to commit yourself, then by all means you should give it a shot. I'd like to reserve a Draconius Commander and a trainer for now, is that okay? Also I'd like to reserve these Pokemon for my characters: Draconius Commander: Gardevoir, Lapras, Glaceon, Dragonite, Seviper, and Roserade Trainer: I'll think of something later. Sounds good - your reserve will last three days, so try to get your app in within that time. @TFF - We will look over your apps tonight and let you know :3 Also, to everyone applying - I apologize for asking this, but when applying, please include an RP sample for your character; since we have limited openings, it would be nice if we could view an applicant's RP'ing abilities before accepting them.

I can get that sample over and done with now. As for the apps themselves, I'll probably go over them one at a time, cause I'm slow like that [spoiler=RP Sample]Elison was also watching the trio go about their demise, from a tile above the conflict. From what she saw, it was obvious that even the Troys were too strong for the ill-prepared Magical Girl to combat; one what hate to think what Lerna was capable of. Speaking of the devil, she descended down in between of Elison and the sole survivor of the trio. She was just about to launch an attack on the Magical Girl when all of a sudden... "W-... WAIT!!" cried a panicked Elison, "What's going on? Why are you doing this?!" Lerna stopped. She kept an eye out on the surviving Magical Girl using one of her heads, but her main had looked Elison straight in the eye at the same time. Some Troys that hadn't transformed yet rushed in between them, displaying an array of runed tiles like multiple times before. "Under attack?!" Elison exclaimed, "It looks like they're doing the attacking to me!" Of course, it would take a while for Lerna to "spit out" an explanation. These runed tiles were her only means of communication to Magical Girls and/or candidates, which meant that each time she needed to make a new message, the Troys displaying these messages would have to routinely disperse, collect some new tiles and return as quickly as possible, perhaps with more or less of their kind than before. Alas, a new message had arrived. After a second of displaying this message, the Troys all transformed into their humanoid forms and dropped down to the group of tiles below. ... "I HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF THIS!!" screamed the soul surviving Magical. All of a sudden, her arms suddenly transformed into thick, thorny vines, as she spun around as quickly as possibly. The surrounding Troys had dodged the first swing, but were completely ensnared by the second, before the girl slam dunked them into the ocean. However, she didn't have much time to catch a breather before a massive wave of Troys descended from above her...Assassin's Creed OST - Chase Theme "Son of a... S***!!" the girl took off running, knowing full well she couldn't take on that many Troys at a time. Many ranged attacks were being launched at her, ranging from "stick" throwing weapons, "stick" arrows and crossbow bolts, and even bullets from "stick" firearms, but the girl kept going, purposely jumping onto and off of the lighter tiles in an attempt to throw the Troys off the pursuit. But these things knew their turf to well to be fooled by some foreign entity. Eventually the girl got a bright idea to latch her vines onto a tile that was higher up, and tried to pull herself up, but was stopped by Lerna. With a combination of brute strength and the girl's own powers, Lerna pried the girl from the tile, and shoved a vine right down her oesophagus, until it reached into her stomach. Inside, Lerna felt around for and managed to find the girl's Soul Gem, which she had swallowed, and while the girl tried and failed to plead for her life, Lerna was having similar difficulties trying to crush the Soul Gem inside her. That was until the girl had foolishly tried to punch her in one of the main head's eyes, with a fist that she had transformed into a tree trunk. This was immediately rebounded by a strange barrier that appeared around Lerna out of nowhere, but Lerna, realizing that she could do the same, had transformed one of her heads into a tree trunk and slammed the girl in the gut, crushing her Soul Gem in the process. ... Elison could only watch in horror as Lerna effortlessly killed the Magical Girl, and discarded her corpse like common trash. No doubt that there was a separate Kyubey that bore witness as well. Elison turned to this Kyubey, and approached it slowly. "Kyubey? How did you find me here?" Elison asked. "Me? Find you?" Kyubey queried, "I was here the whole time," "Oh..." Elison muttered, "You must be a different Kyubey; the one that knows me warned me about that." "Quite," after saying this, Kyubey observed Elison's Soul Gem, only to see that it had gotten more blackened than usual, "Hmm... I see why you've come here now, but after what you must've seen so far... don't you think you're being rather ambitious?" "Huh? NO!! ...yes. I'm not here to fight." "Oh?" "I... I just want some answers." "Answers to what?" "From Lerna. I wanna know why and how she became a witch... and I want the truth, all of it." "I see... That'll have to wait. I suppose you want this Lerna alive then, not that I approve of it, so I'll take you out of here and into another labyrinth." "Thanks... I guess," with that, Elison followed Kyubey out of the labyrinth.[/spoiler][spoiler=Draconius Leader]Username: Admiral_Stalfos19RP Name: [acronym='First name is unknown']'Coral' Redwood[/acronym]Age: [acronym='She appears as though she's 25, however']13[/acronym]Hometown: Eterna City, SinnohAppearance: Even on the surface, one can tell that Coral's body is heavily mutated. For starters, she just happens to stand at a [acronym='for a woman anyway']monstrous[/acronym] 6' 4", and this is without heels, although she has a rather slim, snake-like build. To add to this snake-like appearance, she has a forked tongue that appears to have the same size as the human tongue, except much longer, and her canine fangs are at least thrice the size of the normal adult human's. Scales can be found down Coral's back, arms and legs as well. The last mutations are in Coral's skin, which appears as a solid white, and her eyes; her right eye appears to be a normal, hazel eye, but her left has a fiery red iris and a slit pupil. Coral has ocean blue hair, and her dress is mostly black, although the stripes running down it are blood red. The black strands of fabric on the back of the dress seem to flow behind Coral when caught in a breeze. Her left hand also seems to have acidic burns on the back of it. The cause of this is unknown. [spoiler=Pic][/spoiler]Biography: Shortly after her 9th birthday, Coral Redwood had been offered a chance to obtain a voice, as she was born mute, and had been ridiculed for it by everyone she had ever met. This unfortunately included her family. Growing tired of the ridicule, Coral was quick to accept the offer, but for that to happen, she had to offer herself as a guinea pig for a few scientists, who had been researching on extracting genes from certain Pokemon so they could potentially recover important human organs. Unfortunately, the scientists could only tell which genes they managed to extract via close observation after each gene was inserted into Coral's body. Because of this, the first day of trial and error went completely wrong. The first test subject was an Ekans, which didn't like having genes extracted from it and thus escaped after two extractions... neither of which bore the right genes. The first one was what caused the pupil of Coral's left eye to transform into a mere slit. The other was the evolution gene, which contradicted with Coral's pituitary gland, causing her body to grow and expand... almost as if she was going through puberty at a rapid pace. By the time the evolution gene's effect on Coral's pituitary gland wore off, her body had grown by well over 2 feet, and had gotten so far developed that any commoner could easily make her for a 21-year-old. The scientists weren't giving up on Coral though, and continued their experimentation, unaware that Coral wanted out. The scientists managed to catch a Seviper, which they had nicknamed Gaboon, to be the next day's test subject, in which they were hoping to get the right genes. It certainly took a few more genes before they finally got the right one for Coral: the voice gene. The scientists have also given her a gene that resulted in tripling the size of her top canine fangs, one that transformed her tongue into one that looked similar to a Seviper's, but maintaining the width and thickness, one that was supposed to be responsible for the traditional Seviper's red sclera, but which affected the iris of Coral's left eye instead, and one more that appeared not to do a single thing... until one of the scientists had accidentally dropped a Poke Ball that contained a Zangoose. All in all, Coral finally got the voice gene that she was after, and she got to keep Gaboon as well, who she had befriended quickly. But the ridicule commenced, partly because of the new mutations and partly because the populace had found Coral's new voice worthy of at least snickering at, if not laughing out loud. Coral had found herself rather insecure for some time, until she finally snapped, committing a whole slew of violent, criminal acts all over the Cygrus Region. Incidentally, this was picked up on by Team Draconius, which lead to Coral's recruitment. Coral accelerated through the ranks, and was quickly promoted to be a Commander, but she wanted more than that. That meant something had to happen to the previous leader, but nothing did until 3 and a half years of Coral's service, where the leader mysteriously disappeared, never to be seen again. However, Coral stepped up to the plate of being the new leader, based on the assumption that she would only refuse to listen to anyone else. Still, she had a rocky start, with an attempt to capture Dialga going horribly wrong, and an attempt to catch Reshiram even worse. However, during her flight to punish the goons that failed to capture both Pokemon, Coral had come across the Ekans that had been used for the gene extraction experiment, which had since evolved into an Arbok. Coral recognized the Arbok the second it attacked her, but realizing she had no PokeBalls and thus couldn't catch the Arbok legally, Coral instead wrangled the Cobra Pokemon to submission. Now though, this Arbok, which Coral has nicknamed King, is always at her side, with Gaboon having been given to a Commander by the name of Moira von Schroder as a reward for the promotion. As for the others, Coral has set a new target from them to try and capture; Kyreum, said to be the weakest of the six legendary dragons. One will just have to hope things go smoothly.Personality: Probably one of the most unstable persons in all of the Pokemon World, let alone criminal masterminds. Coral is completely uncensored in how she reacts to a certain situation; she can even go so far as to brutally assault the grunt responsible for enraging her, and asking her to restrain herself is like expecting a Rattata to win a battle against a Tyranitar; that just isn't going to happen. She's deceptively strong; so much so that it often takes at least 4 or 5 grunts to hold her back. Speaking of grunts, they've taken Coral's silence as a good sign, as it seems to be an indication that she's contempt... in truth, it's probably the only sign. Coral has never been seen by anyone to be truly happy. Contrary to her initial wish, Coral would rather be as silent as possible, and about the only times her voice tends to be heard are when she gives an order or when she yells at someone for being incompetent. However, she can't stand the sight of Bug-type Pokemon, and also gets enraged upon seeing a Zangoose, whether that be in the wild or from any trainer at all. This in turn leads her to go straight for the Zangoose with no holds barred, and [acronym='The real reason is because Coral has gotten the gene responsible for Gaboon's genetic fued with any Zangoose, but not everybody knows about this.']apparently for no reason at all[/acronym]. Despite her inability/refusal to keep her mentality in check though, Coral so far has been a good leader, ever since promoting herself upon the disappearance of the former one.Trainer Type: Team Draconius LeaderStarter Pokemon: [acronym='Has been given away to a Commander to look after']Gaboon (Seviper)[/acronym]Pokemon Team: King (Arbok), Hydreigon, Steelix, Gyarados, Milotic, Serperior[/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~British Soul~ Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Here's an RP sample: [spoiler=RP Sample] Desu Taking time off from his official duties as an Elite Four Member, Desu was slowly looking through the Gradnis Forest. He was looking for a stray Larvesta that had gotten stranded in this foroest rather than in its home. Being a Bug specialist he would be able to hear the specific cries of the different Bug pokemon so that he can figure out if it's Larvesta and if so, the location of said pokemon. Focused in one place, Desu blanked all thoughts from his mind in order to focus more on the sounds on the outside, ideally he was looking for the sound of a flickering flame since he knew that Larvesta was part fire-type but he feared that he might be in the wrong part so he moved on. Silver Taking a tumble inside the Greenvine Hill, not the most convential way of entering the hill though, Silver got up from the ground a few seconds later only to rub his head. "Oww, my head." He urked as he took a gander to see what pokemon he would find inside Greenvine Hill. A nearby Bidoof approached the wandering trainer only to laugh at him for taking a tumble. "That Bidoof is mocking me," Silver said in annoyance as he got out a pokeball. "So I'll have Totodile take care of it." Totodile came out of the pokeball with a fierce look on his face. "Use Ice Punch!" Shouted Silver who ordered his little water crocodile to attack the crafty Bidoof with a frozen fist aiming for it, however the Bidoof tried to run away, but took a trip, thus hitting the ground waiting for the Ice Punch to hit. Alex For Alex, finding a Seedot inside Greenvine Hill was his top priority. He looked high and low, checking each and every bush thoroughly and he also checked to see if they are hanging from the trees as from previous experiences he's seen that they are likely to dangle from the branches early in the day, sadly they were nowhere to be seen, and this had saddened him, so he sat down next to the tree that he had just checked. "Where am I going to find a Seedot." Alex mused as he looked to the sky, he knew that he had to be calm abut this, even if a crafty pokemon came along to mock him. Suddenly the bushes next to him rustled, and a surprised Alex got up off the ground in no time and ripped out a pokeball ready to fight the next thing to come out, he broke a sweat waiting to see what would come out, and what would pop from from the bushes, why it's a little Seedot. "Yes! A Seedot!" Alex said in excitement as he sent in Cyndaquil to help. [/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
