Chevaleresse

I'm interested. Let me think a bit about my team and character. I'll likely use a modified version of Sarcus. By the way, I would make this the OOC thread and make an IC thread; it's easier to follow RP that isn't broken up with 3 OOC posts in between every IC one.

Also Central Time, which is -6 at the moment due to DST.

-Name: Sarcus -Appearance/Characteristics: A bit taller than average (5'11"), with long blonde hair that tends to get slightly unkempt. He never ties it back, preferring to let it flow over his shoulders and down his back. Usually wears brown, black, or khaki cargo pants with a white T-shirt, an unbuttoned shirt, and a jacket or coat depending on the weather. Slate gray eyes. -Birthday; December 3rd. -Things to Know; Sarcus is pretty quiet and reserved at first. He doesn't usually have a lot to say, but when he does, he goes on at length, talking rapidly. He tries very hard to stay calm and collected but has a very hot temper. Sarcus is also very proud and easily offended, though less so around friends. He is very intelligent but somewhat lacking in people skills and common sense. Sarcus relates very well to Pokemon, however. He's been traveling alone with his Absolution since his family was taken away on suspicion of opposing the Church of Dawn; the reason the Absol appeared to him. -Roleplay Universe : Aftermath.

A few are questionable, but... holy shit. Your Existing Situation "In a very inactive and stationary condition, yet conflict and disagreements keep the wheels in the head constantly turning. Looking for fulfilling relationships which are affectionate and understanding, yet settles for less." Your Stress Sources"Response well to the world around him and wants to experience everything there is out there. Finds his existing situation frustrating and keeping him from learning new things. Needs patience, understanding, and a sense of security. Feels momentarily powerless to achieve his goals." Your Restrained Characteristics Current situations force him into compromise and placing his own hopes and desires on hold for the time being. Is bothered when his needs and desires are misunderstood and he feels there is no one to turn to or rely on. His self-centered attitude can cause him to be easily offended. Is satisfied and finds contentment through sexual activity. Current situations force him into compromise and placing his own hopes and desires on hold for the time being. Your Desired ObjectiveSearching for ways to relieve stress. Longs for a peace and happiness. Your Actual ProblemLack of energy leaves him unnoticed to pursue further activities or demands placed on him. He feels powerless which leaves him agitated and depressed. Tries to escape from his struggles by searching for peaceful and restful conditions in which to relax and recover in an atmosphere full of security. Your Actual Problem #2"Tends to be too trusting, so he must protect himself from this or he runs the risk of being misunderstood or used by others. Searching for a relationship which provides a safe and understanding environment, one where he knows exactly where he stands with his partner at all times." - See more at: http://www.colorquiz.com/results.php?code=m,1,0,2,7,6,4,3,5,5,1,0,7,2,6,3,5,4,4&p=full#sthash.ZMEYBk4U.dpuf

GaMetal's Mega Man Mega Medley.

Go easy on me, but still give advice. Keep the title in mind. @ Leftovers Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 128 SDef Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk) - Spikes - Roost - Toxic - Brave Bird Pretty standard AFAIK. I went for Toxic to encourage swaps instead of Whirlwind forcing it, and Brave Bird to have additional options as well as avoiding being screwed by Taunt. @ Dragon Fang Trait: Moxie EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Lonely Nature (+Atk, -Def) - Aerial Ace - Earthquake - Outrage - Dragon Claw Trying to get STAB and a decent amount of coverage with this set, along with something to deal with evasion (which I HATE HATE HATE). Otherwise, just going for a sweeper. @ Choice Scarf Trait: Clear Body EVs: 192 Atk / 188 SAtk / 128 Spd Hardy Nature - Flash Cannon - Meteor Mash - Psychic - Zen Headbutt A bulky sweeper Metagross with 4 STAB options to choose from. @ Focus Sash Trait: Pressure EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk) - Detect - Swords Dance - Sucker Punch - Night Slash An Absol that's in my team because I really love the Pokemon. I figure that I can use Detect to mess with the opponent's attack plans, with Pressure hopefully exhausting the PP on the opponent's stronger moves. Sucker Punch and Night Slash are pretty self-explanatory. Swords Dance if the opportunity comes up to use it. @ Fist Plate Trait: Blaze EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Flare Blitz - Close Combat - Overheat - Earthquake Trying to get plenty of coverage here with Infernape's good offense, and since it's already squishy, I won't really care about the defense losses. Overheat is for any particularly annoying physical walls that come up. @ Life Orb Trait: Rivalry EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd Hasty Nature (+Spd, -Def) - Discharge - Thunder Fang - Crunch - Ice Fang Same idea as the previous ones.

Still, I've always seen Absol's speed cited as the reason it isn't in higher tiers. I've been playing a game with a hacked Speed Boost Absol running the moveset I wrote in my post and it's amazingly effective.

Should I go ahead and post my character in the RP character thread? Or should I wait for approval from the host?

I'd need a bit to catch up on the story (a summary would be welcome), but can I still join this? I'd be Sarcus with my Absol called Absolution. (Don't hate me for it.)

Basically, a theorycrafting thread. E.G, I think Absol would be an absolute beast if it had Speed Boost instead of Pressure or Super Luck. Run something along the lines of Detect, Night Slash, Sucker Punch, and Swords Dance, with possibly a held Focus Sash to give you a chance to Swords Dance without being asploded.

Gen III, best Pokemon designs (IMO), interesting locations, and it was the first one I played.

Fair enough.

What I would prefer to be? Absol. I get to tell people that shit is going down, but otherwise just do my thing and own all of those annoying Psychic types. What I actually would be? Probably a Swampert or something, I kind of just sit around until someone pisses me off.

A shiny Ursaring in SS. Named it Envirobear. I was in a hotel for a fencing tournament with a buddy, and I was headed to Mt. Silver to level a Bagon up a bit to calculate its IVs. I flipped out, since I have been playing Pokemon for, oh, eight years, and had never seen one until then. (Except for Red Gyrados, but that doesn't count.)

Gen V. Mostly because of some of those. . . interesting . . . designs for Pokemon. Gen III was my favorite, I actually loved the region and the pokemon are my favorites. (Absol ftw.) Though, Ruby was the first Pokemon game I ever played, so I might be a bit biased.

Absol. I love the design, and the amazing Attack is icing. Plus, dark types are amazing, and I like everything about Absol.
