Chevaleresse

yeah, i jumped the gun on the IC thread a bit

Thought you were going to be a trainer?

The grasshole. Ame that needs to be his new trainer class

Braius saw the scraeth coming, and began mentally preparing himself, burning images of his allies into his mind. He had fought the creatures before, though not a pack this size, and not of this larger variety. His only response to the words of the other travelers was heavy, but measured breathing, as he brought himself into the characteristic battle trance of his people. He slowly eliminated every emotion that would slow him down. Fear. Excitement. Concern. All that remained was that barely suppressed inferno known as anger. The large berserker reached down and tightly gripped his blades before drawing them from their crude sheaths with a refined motion. The heavy, thick blades were specifically designed to bite deeply into the foe, punching through tough armor. His conscious mind beginning to shut down, he started to slowly walk toward the approaching foes.

as in, legitimate mental and physical disorders/diseases. I've been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (dat 150+ IQ tho) and a mild generalized anxiety disorder. There's also a good chance that I have developed or will develop something on the depression spectrum (you should have seen me last year.)

Gogogo edit: reborn has spoken

asdf where was that trainer PC

The sun rises over the desolate landscape. Reborn hadn't been a particularly fertile and lively region when time and space were stable; now, it was almost lifeless. The light cast illumination into the emaciated husks of the buildings that had made up the once massive city. Due to its proximity to Azurine Lake (which had regained the startling hue it had been named for), the remains of the Peridot Ward held the city's small population. The specter of the past still haunts those who gaze across the gate as they wake up, preparing for the day, as the lake abruptly ends as the land suddenly turns into a mountain range as if cut by a razor. Farmers grumble as they contact their Pokemon handlers; large, heavy farm equipment being hard to come by, they were forced into using the unreliable creatures to provide enough food for the city to eat. The handlers, in turn, complain about the early start farming requires, and collect their Pokeballs, being very careful not to release their dangerous charges by accident. When they arrive at their destination after picking their way through rubble, they very quickly release the Pokemon into their cages, where they are fitted with harnesses and various other devices to prevent one from getting loose and slaughtering the farmer and his family. Some of the handlers, perhaps, have a passing thought that this might be the wrong way to go about things. Then they laugh it off, or simply shake their heads, remembering why the world was like this. You wake up, in your home. What do you see as you look around? As you look down at your own body?

SO, thinking I'll be writing the OP of the RP thread here. Please, PLEASE discuss existing relationships in this thread or a PM. (e.g., if Jory is owned already, who owns him, how did they meet, etc.)

Er, I'm a loner who is extremely loyal and volatile IRL.

I'd also question Typhlosion's moveset. You've got two fire moves, and Thunder Punch which is physical, Mixed attackers are generally difficult to effectively run due to the way EVs need to be spread. I'd go with Volt Switch over Thunder Wave, personally, but it's up to you. Flygon needs Earthquake over Earth Power; again, mixed sets are hard to utilize.

I don't think you can really call it a RMT if there isn't a team to rate.

It isn't bad. Didnt set off any alarm bells in my head. Every character has elements of a Sue, but I don't see enough to concern anyone.

Whimsicott Whimsicott Whimsicott jk But seriously, Whimsicott, Gardevoir, Espeon.

tbh I wanted to be Ralts >.> Also, I'd like to have at least one trainer PC before we start. I know the story says they are rare, but there's a reason there are rules for them.

Who all is in the covert group, again?

Oh, I should mention that my character will basically be a Rule 63'd version of myself. Hmm. Dragonite Infernape Glalie/Froslass (you can add more than three, fyi, and more than one person can contribute to the list)

Preferably, you would use one that matched, but if you want, use one of the primary type (in your case, Fire). Lemme think of a list for you. . . Aggron Alakazam Rotom (someone add more) Also, I'd like a list.

Eh, I'd prefer people to stick to a single character to start off with, but that is subject to change. As for moderators, I'll contact you, not the other way around.

/baton smashes to Arcanine

Some credit goes to the RP forum, particularly Acquiescence, for helping me with this idea. Cyrus succeeded. He was not stopped at Spear Pillar, and captured Dialga and Palkia. He would recreate the world as he chose, with himself as its almighty head, using the power of the Pokemon lords of space and time - or so he thought. No one had anticipated what would occur when they were captured. Without the stabilizing influence of the Spatial and Temporal Pokemon, the universe itself started to break down. Machinery changed from useful tools to deadly hazards as space shifted, causing them to malfunction. People would walk for five minutes and find that their entire family was dead and gone for decades. Meteors annihilated towns as the distance between them and Earth flickered between light-years and inches. Entire cities winked out of existance, their founders removed from time. The destruction was almost absolute. Eventually, though, the universe shook itself to something approaching a standstill. While neither time nor space were entirely trustworthy, the planet still survived. Barely. Massive scars in the surface run for hundreds of miles, running deep enough to expose the planet's molten core. Gigantic rips in space and time transport those unfortunate enough to cross through them into unknown locations. Shadow permanently veils swathes of the planet as light bends away. Ruined cities from a dozen dimensions dot the hellish landscape, overgrown with jungle, buried beneath dunes of sand or snow, or simply sitting, gutted buildings a mute testament for what it was like before. Or afterward. No one knows any more. Humanity has slowly recovered. Fortunately, time and space are stable enough that technology is useable and cities do not warp themselves into volcanoes, or the depths of space. Usually. However, society is very different from the time when Dialga and Palkia were free. People have shifted the blame from Cyrus and his arrogance to the masters of space and time that seem to have vanished, and, by extension, all Pokemon. They are not friends; they are not even animals or pets. They are tools at best, according to most people. They are used as power sources or vehicles, and only if there is no viable alternative. There are no Trainers - or, at least, none that anyone will acknowledge. Wild Pokemon live in fear of vengeful humans, and some have come to hate them, laying curses upon them if they are able or worse. This is the world we live in. A world where the gods sleep, seemingly uncaring, while it falls to pieces. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, with the prologue out of the way, welcome to my RP. I'll be your host for the foreseeable future (fortunately, in real life, time runs in a fairly straight line). Let's get the ground rules out of the way. No bunnying. Your actions are your own only. The only people that can fully control the actions of others are Trainers with NPC pokemon.However, Pokemon are encouraged to obey their trainers, and your trainer can force you to use a move once in a while as is reasonable. Obey the host and the moderators. No, this doesn't mean obey the commands of their characters; if they tell you to knock something off, knock it off. No powerplaying. Don't act like this is a wifi battle; just because someone likes Delcatty a lot, does not give you the right to kick the crap out of them because you have/are Blaziken. Legendaries may, at some point, be controllable, but are prohibited from usage by most players, both as characters and as caught Pokemon. Don't be disruptive. You can have loud, obnoxious characters that cut people off in the middle of conversations, but don't break the flow of the RP. Pokemon choice will be restricted to an extent. Preferably, you'll take the Type Quiz in-character and make them a Pokemon of that type (assuming said character is a Pokemon.) You can also have the group make a list of Pokemon they think fit you, and you can choose. You can also let people just plain choose for you. You don't have to strictly follow canon, but any deviation should have a solid explanation. Better, more interesting explanations lead to more leeway. Your backstory should make sense in-universe. It would make sense for you to be cursed by a Ninetales and wake up as a Pokemon; it would not make sense for you to be Cynthia's son, raised by Pokemon, then returned to society as a master Pokemon Trainer that everyone adores for no readily apparent reason. Don't get too graphic. You can go as far as saying someone was disembowled, but we don't need to know where their intestines landed, for example. Profanity is okay, but keep it to a minimum. Use Precision F-Strikes, not Cluster F-Bombs. Excessive out-of-character posting is frowned upon in the RP thread. With that out of the way, if you're interested in joining, you should know a few things. One, this will be a pretty freeform RP. There will be goals in mind, but there will be gentle nudges toward them. Two, I'm pretty lax. Creativity takes priority over canon, and honestly, I'll let someone get away with almost anything if it makes for a good story. Space and time themselves are broken down; weird things happen. If you'd like to join, you've got a few options. First, decide if you're human or Pokemon. We need more Pokemon than humans, this being a roleplay specifically created to place Pokemon center stage. After that, decide on your species (if you're a Pokemon). There are three ways to go about this. Take the Type Quiz in-character, and pick a Pokemon with your typing, unless it doesn't exist (e.g, Ice-Fighting). Have the group prepare a list of Pokemon they think would suit your character. Simply have myself or the group decide for you. After that, tell us about "yourself." Have a template. Name (if any): Species (if applicable): Age: Appearance (picture requested but optional): Personality overview (optional): Backstory (MANDATORY): Your story should be around a paragraph long. Not "he is a poochyena that likes berries," but we don't need six chapters of development, either.
