[Interest Check/Sign-Up]: On the Rocks

[PupSpace]

The Rocks, that's our home.

A large lake, surrounded by a lush beach, with forests surrounding it. There's space for everyone, and everyone seems to coexist.

Of course, we can probably thank them for it.

Four children.

We found them in the mountains that ring us all in, battered and in torn-clothes

Houndoom and Mighteyna carried them to the lake,

Where Chansey healed them

Where Spinarak wove clothes for them,

Where we all worked together to make them safe

And they worked together to make our lives better.

Now, though, someone is ruining our peace.

Pokemon started to disappear, for days at a time, and would return over the mountains,

somehow different,

and would have new abilities...strange, new abilities.

Terrifying abilities.

Character Classes

• Pokemon: A standard Pokemon
• Child: One of the Four who have worked with the Pokemon to make the Rocks a happier place. They can all speak to Pokemon but cannot speak English.
• Infected: A Pokemon who has been tampered with. They're angry, look different, and have strange new abilities. (Include, new second/third type, new ability such as flying, or the ability to use a move outside of their type).
• Scientist: They built a research building outside of the mountains and have started luring Pokemon over the mountains to be tampered with. They're not inherently evil, but they are misguided.

Ideas for Rules

• Only two Pokemon per species, but both cannot be owned by the same person.
• Pre-evolutions (Houndour/Houndoom) each get two entries, but
• The two Pokemon can mate (not explicitly) and create an egg/pup, which may be taken by one of the owners of the parents or given to another member, with approval.
• Any two Pokemon can mate, and the two Pokemons' character sheets should be PM'ed to Host, who will use a random number generator to determine the species and other attributes. This applies to all matings.
• Different gender Pokemon can mate
• Pokemon can be Male, Female, or Genderless despite species.
• Unlimited characters, but each person must be able to post an acceptable entry per active character.
• Inactive characters should have a short blurb in each post about what they're doing, just to keep them in everyone's minds, and to reduce confusion.
• Characters' posts should be color-coded, but not with extreme colors.
• Para-style
• In-fighting is allowed, but not unnecessarily.
• Requests to Host can be made for Child class.
• Infected will have randomly-generated new abilities, looks, and negative consequences.
• Characters do not begin as Infected, as that will be a future plot-point.
• Forms should be kept and updated regularly.
• Adult Pokemon have full use of their moves and abilities, Adolescents are almost there but often have problems with control, Children are wild and know only a few moves, Eggs have no moves and will be hatched with one move, at which point they will retain EGG class until they learn at least one additional move.
• Legends must be approved before posting.

If interested, please post the following form below, as well as any thoughts or comments or concerned, this is still just an idea.

Uh, think this needs more elaboration on what people will be doing. Will the various clases be fighting each other? Infect/Scientists vs Pokemon/Children? Are there any notable characters for the players to follow? I think we need to know more about the world in general first too.

Children and Pokemon would be working together to figure the scientists out, scientists are trying to understand the environment and how the Pokemon co-exist, Infected are trying to get better or accepting their new way of life, depending on author's choice. It's not a clear good v. bad thing, it's just trying to figure what's happening out. I'll be making one of the children and a Pokemon or two who are leaders in the community, and a head scientist character most likely to get things started. Research facility is rule-based and follows the head scientist, the Rocks are pretty much communism, you help me, I help you, we all get something out of it.

Thank you for challenging me to think more about it. This was really just an idea that popped up that I wanted help developing.

This sounds really interesting. I'm Following this Thread as of my Posting this, I'll be interested in seeing how this turns out.
