Chevaleresse

Posted a Q/A thing. Keep comments and stuff here for now: put questions in the Q/A. By the way, the second reference is near the end of the post.

A seemingly ordinary, if somewhat rough-looking, teenager stands before you. His hair is nearly long enough to reach his shoulders, and has been bleached an unnatural shade of blonde. He wears a battered-looking zip-up hoodie with an artistic, abstract design on it in gray. His jeans are in slightly better shape, marked with the occasional hole or thinned spot, but look slightly too large. However, topping his build is a somewhat handsome, if lean, face with a friendly expression. "So, before we get started with this whole thing, was there anything you were wondering about? I'm an open book; fire away." Answered Questions: Question: Question: Question: Question: Question: Question: Question:

Worst company? Activision. Ruining fantastic series since forever.

“Not raising it without restraint?” Veronica smirked, “I could've stopped him if I wanted,” she said to Kage. “And did you say boyfriend?” There was a lot of disapprovement coming from her voice as she gave Kage an odd look. “So you swing that way? No wonder none of you make any sense...” "Oh, so what you're saying is that not only can you not raise Pokemon, you're also a complete bitch. That's cool, the first step is admitting." Kage was actually trembling slightly with suppressed anger. "And for your information, I swing whatever direction I damn well please, as long as it's away from people like you." The followup to this wasn't strictly audible (or comprehensible, as Kage switched back to Japanese), but the muttering under his breath had the unmistakable staccato pattern of an expletive-laced rant.

7/10 lost a point because I always confuse you and Alexus

Important Action (speaking with Flagstarr, maybe involves Cyaloom) Blair sighed. She saw the point, but she couldn't see how more mind working on the problem could hurt. "Could I at least take a look at his Duel Disk? I've spent plenty of time poking around inside them; I should be able to recognize anything unusual about it." She doubted they would let her at it, but it couldn't hurt to ask.

Alright I'm giving up the first reference.

*sigh* No, but close. I'll give you another hint: the plot revolves around magical beasts. "Of Shadow and Flame-" does that make you think of any magical beast in particular?

I don't plan on posting, since it would just be Blair sitting on her bike, waiting.

Nope. Closer, though. Edit: Jory, your character looks good, but there are a couple issues. The first is that beasts are hostile toward Mediators as well, and will actually target them over humsns given equal opportunity. The second is that you said your character was inducted, but in your backstory the power came from a contract.

There will be beasts of varying scale. Nope. I'll give a hint; one of them should be very obvious and is one of the first things you see.

Still not sure whether to evolve Lucas into a Gardevoir or Gallade. Having a Gardevoir would balance the team out a bit more, but either would work RP-wise.

"Yknow, people tend to like you better if you don't attack their boyfriend's Pokemon." Kage wasn't in the mood to hear her excuses. Acting like that for any reason gave you a lot of information about the person doing so. "I don't care if Ludicolo did it on his own, it's still your fault for apparently not being able to raise a Pokemon with enough restraint." He couldn't imagine Pokemon that reached that kind of power being poorly raised, but then again, criminal organizations did that very thing to push their Pokemon past their limits. . .

There are at least two specific references, and I haven't even seen those two lol.

Most beasts are just that, yes. Some will be far more intelligent. As you predicted, beasts will mostly come from negative emotions, but they are occasionally generated by positive ones. Also, bonus points if you can spot the references in the OP.

1. Their powers remain, though there will be consequences in the form of lost support (they'll help you if you deplete your energy) and the fact that you will have a hard time getting along with most people given that you failed at your job. 2. It's a modern setting, with all of this taking place in a major city. I'm still working on some details. 3. Restrictions are pretty loose as long as you stay reasonable. Reality-warping powers consume a ton of energy. You don't necessarily have to stick to a theme, but much like in real life, practice makes perfect and a very diverse set of techniques will lead to each individual one being pretty weak and/or energy inefficient.

I would rather you just edit your post to conply with Tomas.

People experienced with magic and Mediators can tell. The source of knowledge will be a combination of a few things.

SIGNUP STATUS: CLOSED Introduction There is more than what is readily apparent in this world. Anyone with a gram of intelligence realizes this. What is not often realized is the world that now exists in the shadows of our own, a world of legends and magic. In it, individuals and groups defend the unknowing mundane from the threats of the supernatural - magical beasts, born from the emotions of humanity, ranging from simple animals endowed with unnatural strength or size, to crafty lurkers, sowing misery and misfortune from the shadows, to truly awesome monsters straight from the legends of the ancient world. Of course, as in any situation, some of the beasts take a decidedly familiar form. . . Species Factions In the magical world, there are three principal factions of magical people, each with its own techniques, motives, goals, and ethics. There are also those that lie outside this system for one reason or another. These may sound quite organized, but the reality is that those with the right potential are rare and death is not uncommon. A faction's presence in a large city may never break 50 individuals, and a group of Loners or Deviants will rarely, if ever, reach a dozen.
