From Permafrost's POV it feels as if we've only hit the halfway point of the chapter (I know I can't always update due to how busy I get, but I usually get something up daily). I'd suggest letting this go on because I see little reason to end it. Nothing MAJOR to the overall plot happened such as a huge battle between two Kingdoms which would've been a good point to break up the point between the next chapter. I still don't think it's time jump yet and add a new Kingdom when Permafrost and Underdark barely had anything to do yet. (Even though I'm practically in charge of Permafrost from the looks of it).

I can't really update until late at night tonight so it's going to be a little while before I update.

Actually i have to make a few major posts soon.. That is when stuff is going to go down.. Only after that chapter 2 will end.. Also the king of underdark needs to get moving.. If you cannot post please tell me.. I will need to bunny and get the kingdom moving.

How can I move if none of the other Underdark characters post / respond? There's supposed to be another Commander that I haven't seen so far and Tyrannt needed his own to introduce that Hydreigon. I'm not even sure if he reads what I do with Napoleon. That's why I made the Nidoking but I'm still waiting for approval.

WHO IS THIS IMPOSTOR YOU SPEAK OF? I SHALL SEND HIM TO DEPTHS OF HELL AS THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE COMMANDER!

Seriously though, don't worry about it. I only glanced at your profiles, but there probably fine. Things are a little weird here in this RP so just assume they're accepted unless stated otherwise.

And Darvan, anyone is welcome to Permafrost. Only the Queen spot, Froslass, and Regice are taken that aren't mentioned already. I was going to make an update on it, but I've been a little busy. We are starting to get up in numbers (oddly). We might even outnumber the sky Kingdom soon.

[Darvan Korematsu]

Like I noticed how of course there's a lot of wanderer, but some find themselves under the loyalty of a certain empire. My first two characters, Ulkina and Alucard, had no original intention of finding themselves in the Sky Kingdom, and my third, Aria Wyatt was made for the intention of a correlation with Alucard. But now they all are residing within.

I might help the Underdark cause because those guys need a little love. I'll post a char for one prolly in a little while.

Also I'll just say this: seven kingdoms I don't think is the best idea, because we covered pretty much everything and there's many webs as it is.

[Sutoratosu]

Hell, brantyn might join Underdark at some point too to help out... if he can ever get across the damn ocean. Gotta make groudon soup, yo!

And I just realized that it's probably true that I'm the main player for Sky Kingdom right around now... given I have seen very little of any of the other senior officers besides Swain (Typhlosion's pc)... and given the fact that one of my PCs is the freaking head of state for the time being and the other is the legit head of national security... in truth, Sky might have somewhere among the most players/ PCs of any kingdom, but very few (Myself, Darvan, and typhlo) are actually all that active right now.

As for wanderer loyalties, i just intend to have Sebastian and Freya hold loyalties only to Azauqyar himself and go on about their own missions while trying to stay out of the war as much as they can

Yeah, Underdark needs more love. And as for the seventh Kingdom, at this point I really doubt he's not going to go through with this. The only thing we can really do is not support it by not creating a character for it. I mean I already have my spots booked (plus two characters who'll appear later on) otherwise I'd support Underdark best I could.

And I kept that ice bridge for a reason. Should a single Pokemon want to cross it, I'll allow it instead someone trying to use boat logic.

[Chim]

Considering how the Hydreigon was introduced, I think the seventh Kingdom is already set for next chapter. They might even start a war with Underdark.

[Yash]

Chim consider your characters accepted.. Also I will be moving stuff along really fast now.. Specially for the Underdark kingdom.. Roht is going to be visiting soon and stuff is going to go at lightening speed..(pun intended)

[TyranntX]

I would say something about kingdom 7 but the chapter is ending in 3 days. So I'll just leave you with this. It has the largest army compared to the rest

is it that big that more than one kingdom needs to team up to take it down?

Sorry bro, but if I told you that I'd be giving too much away. Just wait for 3 more days and check out what happens it the epilogue. Then wait for the next chapter witch will start when i come back from vacation. I'll be back in 4 days so I'll start it up on Sunday.

[Pixl]

I haven't posted with my Underdark yet because I wasn't sure where he was supposed to be yet >>

Alright in that case I'm ready. I'm heading to bed early today since I have to get up early to get to work but after that I should be able to update until the next chapter.

Just come up with something. I had the same problem but as long as you post I can react to it.

This is really starting to push me more towards dropping out. Clearly this kingdom has too much importance (imo) and the rushing of all the other stuff has really watered the kingdoms to being really generic or dull. Whenever I design something, I try to keep everything in balance such as one kingdom having equal chances of winning or an advantage over certain kingdoms (Sky and Permafrost are pretty much equal in strength despite the type advantage). Throwing this new Kingdom right now into the mix could pretty much straight up throw you into a trainwreck which is why I suggest you rethink what to do with the following chapters. At the very least, give this chapter a month before a jump.

If you rush or keep pushing through chapters just because everything you wanted to do with the chapter is done, I and probably a few others will be forced to drop this. We have lives so we can't always keep up with demands like that. It's also fun to see what creative things players through into the mix to surprise and somtimes raise hell because Wander, Chim, and I are great at that.

I'll make a post up on Wednesday and probably cancel the whole invasion thing as a whole, but that's going to be it this chapter. It's ridiculous I couldn't even do a single thing I wanted to do because of the need to jump chapters. There hasn't even been a single battle since the first and I did plan on going to war with somebody (not necessarily the Sky Kingdom I might add).

[Darvan Korematsu]

Looks like Underdark needs a Champ. Chim and Commander, I'll bail y'all out.

Name: Sora Falchion

Age: 54

Gender: Male

Kingdom: Underdark

Rank: Champion

Pokemon: Excadrill

Bio: Considered the greatest miner, digger, and excavator in the entire Underdark Empire. Having lived underground for the majority of his life, through thick and thin, Sora was able to develop his own unique form of sonar to compensate for his inadequate vision. When he developed his sonar, he became an instant success in thr mining tycoons of the Empire. Sora went under hire for several companies, only to be fired for his near-obsession with precious stones and rare metals.

When the King of the Underdark foresaw the potential skill in this small-time miner, he struck a deal with the mole. Formal training and military service, in exchange for all the prettiest stones and free reign on mining for his own ventures. Sora is well-trained in martial arts adapted to his body style, as well as able to utilize his claws into various techniques taught to him by various masters over time.

It is said that when the earth really quakes, it is most likely Sora, burrowing through the earth on another expedition to fuel his lust for gems.

EDIT: @Wander/Yash. I'm also curious as to where my Lucario is, because it seems like she is nonexistent down there. Mention of Gengar but not Luc.

now that sounds cool. Then again the underdark was intended to be a subterranial kingdom.

Oh, uh, neat.

**goes to change his Underdark Champ to Commander** Actually, I'll erase him for now since he hasn't been in the RP yet. I'll think of something different.

Don't cancel the attack! Drax is longing to smash these puny kingdoms

I think someone in this RP needs to initiate the first attack to get the fire going and make this a little more interesting. As for the 7th kingdom, well don't rush the story just for the sake of introducing it, we'll get there eventually.

EDIT: also, i think that bugs types should be included in the Underdark kingdom; being subterranean and all.

Agreed, maybe the sky or Frost will attack first. I dunno but then again if Land manages to get Groundon, they have enough strength to over take the magic kingdom.

[Yash]

I am just waiting to get the stuff cleared with the magic and sky kingdom.. Also I will talk with ty about pushing back the new chapter, as there is a bunch of loose ends in this chapter that I don't want rushed, including the whole invasion.. @Commander, keep the invasion going since it is already half way there.. It will definitely make things more interesting..

Also guys, battling is not the only way to get territories.. As it is with the Toxia Badlands and the Somber Platue you can also have stuff happen there..

On that note, should you want to have a conquest between a non aligned land, then I will serve as the acting commander for them..

[Commander]

Yash, I need at least a week and even then that's pushing it (I'd really need two tbh). Regardless, I will keep the ice bridge and I'll do something to open it up to wanderers and mercenaries. Right now, it's going to connect the Creator of Abyss to Somber Plains. The only condition is to pledge loyalty or neutrality to the gatekeepers who guard it. If you betray this condition, you will get killed. And those who pledge loyalty will get escorts to protect them from the water kingdom or other enemies.

And if any Kingdom (maybe excluding Underdark) to bring an army across it, there's a really good chance those Pokemon will get KILLED, not defeated. I want to emphasize that so that nobody tries something stupid.

Edit: I also have the same idea as Typhlosion. Patients is a virtue when it comes to RPing. I feel there's no need to end this chapter so quickly.

[Yash]

Honestly with episode 15 coming out and the amount of stuff I have irl, I will have to slow it down.. I can't say if it will be 2 weeks, but it should slow things down a bunch..

[Pixl]

Oh my lord I hate myself. I was in the middle of writing a response that was very time-consuming (due to a certain aspect of it), and accidentally returned tot he previous window so I lost eeeeeverything. R.I.P. Ok, here we go again...

EDIT: Ok, you can see why it took time. That one freaking quote took forever because I used Size 8 font for the spaces between letters and Size 12 for everything else. Also note Yash that I am not trying to start any hostilities yet. I'm just establishing the characterization of Hakumen as one really creepy dude. But I'm going with the assumption that he's been in the kingdom and is a commander so most people, especially fellow commanders and the king and all, already are accustomed to his creepiness (that's not to say, however, that some soldiers or even those higher ups aren't still a bit disturbed by him, though they'd probably keep that as a gossip sort of thing or a personal thought to themselves).

[Sutoratosu]

yay, finally got something up.

@Darvan, like I said at the bottom, feel free to have Ulkina find either Azauqyar in the halls of the keep or Stratos down in the dungeons right now if you still want her to talk to them. I would've had the post taking place right after the end of the incident, but with the amount of posts that had been up inbetween now and when yash made the update, I figured it would just flow better with a bit of a small time skip

[Komodojoe]

Actually, I thought of waiting on this one, but considering how this will be put in (and hopefully fairly soon I might add), I think I'll put up my 4th character.

Name: Pavise

Age:???

Gender: Genderless

Rank: Officer

Kingdom: Land

Pokémon: Registeel

Bio: For countless generations, Pavise has been called upon for many different purposes during it's lifetime. From acts of war to simple tasks of prosperity, it has experienced more than many other Pokémon could only dream of achieving. However, due to the chaos that it made during one of the tasks that it was given, the people had decided to seal it away. Now, Pavise slumbers in it's ruins somewhere in the Kingdom of Land, waiting to be awakened and given purpose once again.

(I think this will be alright, especially considering that most of you can guess how I will introduce this one, but if this is somehow a problem, just let me know and I'll see what I can do.)

{And also, just as a random history lesson for those who don't know, Pavise is the name of a large and complex shield of European origin that was used to protect the entire body, which in this case, makes it a perfect name for a Pokemon with the defensive capabilities that a Registeel has.}
