Sutoratosu Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Introduction: Hello there folks! as you all probably know if you checked my last interest thread, I kinda fucked up big time and lost all the work files I had done for pokemon Auroral Starfall, and as a result, was forced to take it from scratch... Well, I got freaking great news: I have another story ready to take it's place now. And no, this ain't some half-assed, rushed piece of work made to satisfy the masses, this thing is the product of me finally giving up on my obssession with sci-fi versions of pokemon, and staying faithful to what it is. once I did that, I saw with such clarity, such focus... I realized something epic. All the work was already done for me, all I had to do was go and tweak a few things, fill in a few plot holes here and there, and bamo... after working my ass off over the last few hours as if my mind were on some type of performance enhancing drugs, I am proud, nay! not just proud, but actually excited, to present to you the finished product of my labor- the replacement for both Surge Story, and Auroral Starfall! Let's do this! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Basic idea and mission: Simple, it's the same as PAS' was going to be; to create something that could serve as a "Better" form of the pokemon anime series, out at least a spinoff series such as Origins or the Mega Evolution specials which lack much of the various flaws I noticed in the main series. Basic Premise: The Pokemon League. An international organization that over the course of the last 150 years, have created an entire culture of competitive battle among trainers and their pokemon partners and managed to even shape the development of several nations. Today, it is the largest of any competitive outlet in existence, the original experiment, the true and only system for official competition. Split up between areas designed to test the mettle of those who dare enter, known as gyms, and a massive tournament known as the league cup, in which challengers who have won all badges from their nation's league branch may participate in combat against others who have proven their strength... and perhaps even the most powerful of them all, the National Elite Four and the National Champion. Yes, many trainers have taken up this challenge, many have failed, but some have passed. But some whisper of a challenge greater than even the national leagues can pose. A challenge so great, so magnificently difficult, that only the strongest dare even consider taking it; Hall of Famers, Elite Four members, Champions, Trainers who managed to at least make it to the finals of the league cups, so on and so forth... This challenge lies in a barren place. a frozen place, far to the north of Unova, so far that a man shall die of the cold long before he reaches it. A place where, by the will of the magnificent Lord Arceus himself, only the strong and the powerful ever survive. A place where towns are few and cities, there are none. A place where wilderness reigns supreme, and Pokemon of unknown power stalk the wilds in search of their next prey... a place, where you will learn from birth alongside your partner to become strong, or you will die before adulthood. In the land known as Arcadia, various new and unheard of Pokemon exist. Some even whisper of multiple unknown types lurking in the snowscape. Some say old gods rest in these frigid lands. But among all the rumors and speculation from those few who have ventured there in the past years it has come to light, and managed to return alive is this: Mother Arcadia hides the entrance to hell. Mother Arcadia is the ultimate challenge. Mother Arcadia will kill you if you underestimate her. Mother Arcadia will break your dreams and take your soul. You, my dear friend, are a Trainer. A trainer of considerable power and skill, a trainer who has had their mettle tested in the fires of hellish combat, and have emerged stronger for it. You have taken on the league cup in your home nation, you made it far, but at the last moment victory was seized from your hands by either an old or newly met rival. And you were forced to sit and watch as another individual took on the Elite Four and Champion. But even though you lost, the match was close; your power was proven that day, even if you did not believe it yourself. For your own reasons, you have set your sights on the ultimate challenge. On entering the realm of Arcadia... You have packed your lone bag, and from your team, have chosen one partner, your most trusted friend in all the world, to accompany you into the mouth of that frozen hell. with some luck, you find a ship owner in Kanto whom is willing to ferry the brave, the bold, and the few to Arcadia, thousands upon thousands of miles away. You head to the famed port of Vermillion in kanto And so your new journey begins as you set foot on that fateful vessel... But little do you know you shall not reach Arcadia. little do you know that the Gods have plans for you, that there is a place on this green earth where your skills will be put to far better, and nobler, use than Arcadia... And so our tale begins. World Religion: since the original people evolved from pokemon millions of years ago, mankind has worshiped a variety of gods over the eons. in many areas of the world, tribes of primitive humans established their faiths around one or two of the beings known to have a hand in the earth's creation, however, after interaction and exchange of ideas began among these people, and tribes became kingdoms, kingdoms became countries, and countries became Nations, the various religious veiws eventually melded into a single, cohesive faith. The Faith of Arceus. otherwise know as The White Faith. Though many legends and myths exist in the world, there are but 13 legendary Pokemon accepted as the canon gods of the world, as they are unique from other mythical beings in that there are only one of each of them, unlike lesser species of which several exist, but all of them are simply exceedingly rare. They are: Arceus Titles: Lord God, Lord Arceus, The White God, The White King, King of the Gods Significance: Creator of the universe, and the undisputed lord and master of the gods. The lord arceus is accepted as the original deity, the original force in existence, and the source from which all else flowed forth, time, space, life, death, afterlife, matter, anti-matter, good, and evil. His power is taught to be supreme in all ways. He is the alpha, an the omega. Though he has largely withdrawn himself from the world since mankind began to develop further and further, he keeps watch over his children, the lesser gods, and intervenes to maintain the balance of all things whenever needed. The lesser gods are often regarded as either his children or his "Arch Angels" Giratina Titles: The Spectral Warden Significance: The most powerful of the gods before Lord Arceus himself. It is unknown when or where the legends of him having been banished for misdeeds and misconduct among the mortals began, but in truth Giratina was never banished; he was created for the purpose of governing the afterlife in his father's stead. The Spirit World is his sacred domain, and as such he is responsible for the safeguarding of all souls, human and Pokemon alike, who make their way their upon death to await a new life in the cycle. He is the one who created the first Ghost types from his own flesh, intending to use them as servants to watch over the realm, however, a small variety of them managed to gain free will and disobeyed their lord, fleeing into the mortal world, thus giving rise to the specters as one of the 18 types. He makes his ethereal throne in the deepest part of the realm, where the laws of the universe begin to unravel and a great many oddities occur... In his world, the laws of time and space are eternally halted on orders of his father. He is also cited as having power over Matter and Anti-matter Palkia Titles: The Spacial Lord Significance: Alongside his twin, Dialga, and their elder brother Giratina, Palkia is responsible for safeguarding the basic components of the universe, with his assigned sphere of power being that of the very fabric of space itself. Due to his duties, he hardly spares time on the mortal world, instead focusing his efforts on monitoring the very foundation of reality itself. Dialga Titles: The Temporal Lord, The Watcher Significance: Like his brothers, Dialga is responsible for safegaurding the basic components of the universe itself. His domain is that of the infinitely branching time-stream itself, where he monitors the various futures and possibility awaiting the world, watching as events unfold and all their possible outcomes, cropping all those not... favorable, and determining which timeline shall become the knew "Canon" of the universe. Like his brothers, his duties are beyond that of Earth, and so he spares little time directly in the affairs of mankind. Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza Titles: The Lord of fire and Granite, The Lord of Seas, The Lord Azauqyar (respectively) Significance: The trio of gods who came after the original three. Groudon and Kyogre were created to form the earth and mold the continents and fill it's seas, while Rayquaza formed the atmosphere, and they did these task with ease. However, soon afterwards, Groudon and Kyogre began to clash over whose work was more deserving of their lord father's praise, and the only thing that stopped them was when Arceus presented the youngest of the trio of sons, Rayquaza, the power to defeat both his elder siblings. Soon afterwards, Groudon and Kyogre were sealed into deep slumbers, their powers restrained by their lord father, while Rayquaza was given the new task of safeguarding the world encase his older brothers should ever wake from their prisons... Regigigas Titles: The Great Mover, The Titan, The Builder Significance: Regigigas was created after the weather trio's completion of earth. unlike those before him, he was created as a lone god rather than sharing his responsibilities with any siblings. He was tasked with moving the continents back into place and rebuilding the landscape of the world after Groudon's and Kyogre's clash. Once his mission ws done, he set about creating three types of sentinels from his own body to safeguard his repairs, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. After creating several of these and dispersing them across the earth, Regigigas saw fit to venture deep into the earth and sleep, his long and arduous task complete... unless the day comes that Groudon and Kyogre awaken and damage the planet again with their violent pissing contest, that is... Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde Titles: The Lady of Birth, the Lady of Death, The Lord of Spectra (Respectively) Significance: a trio of Gods created around the same time as Regigigas's labors. They were tasked with overseering the concepts of Mortality, with Xerneas becoming the Guardian of Birth, and Gate Keeper of the exits of the Spirit Realm, while her sister Yveltal, the Guardian of death, and the Gatekeeper of the entrances to the spirit world. Their elder brother Zygarde serves as the embodiment and guardian of the planet's life force, of life itself, the delicate balance between birth and death. Out of all the gods, they have the most involvement in the mortal world due to their duties. Ho-oh and Lugia Titles: The Phoenix and the Leviathan Significance: It is unknown for what exact purpose Ho-oh and Lugia were created, however, it is accepted in canon that Ho-oh wields the power to resurrect the dead and grant fortune to onlookers, while Lugia holds the dominion over the weather of the world in the absence of Groudon and Kyogre. Legends tell that Lugia resigned herself to slumber at the bottom of the oceans after having deligated her power to 3 races of servant pokemon, Zapdos, Articuno, and Moltres. Ho-oh is beleived to currently roam the world for a purpose unknowable to mankind followed in his travels by his his own three races of servant pokemon; Raikou, Suicune, and Entei. Available pokemon: The majority of pokemon, barring members of the Pantheon (The Gods) will be available eventually at a point in the story to capture. This includes minor legendaries such as the lake trio and celebi, and legendaries who while technically not minor, whose lore does not give them any major responsibilities in keeping the world or the universe in check, such as the Tao Trio. Do not worry, there are actually multiple members of all legendary species not included in the White Faith's Pantheon, but the general rule, for legends, psuedo legends, and normal pokemon, will be that the stronger the pokemon species, the harder it will be to find in the wild. What this means is that you are far more likely to find a celebi or a dragonite in the wild than you are of finding a Kyurem, and are far more likely to find a normal pokemon like charizard or a serperior than you are a Celebi or a Dragonite. Moves: Moves in the story will function the same as in the anime. A normal Pokemon will be able to know up to four moves at a given time. for starting partners of players, this includes moves from their natural level-up learn set, Egg Moves, TMs and HMs, and Move Tutor Moves. HOWEVER PLEASE NOTE: that if you want your partner to have TM, HM, or Move Tutor moves, you must make your mind when you submit the sign-up sheet, as once the story begins, TMs, HMs, and Move Tutors will be almost completely unavailable due to the stories setting. What this means is this: Only your starting partner can know any TMs or HM or Move Tutor moves because you will have likely taught them to them during your league challenge. Once the story begins though, you won't be finding any of the three of those objects, even if you think you're smart and try to bring some with you, I'll deprive you of them by the end of the first chapter. so all your other party members will have to have move sets assembled solely from Level-up and Egg Moves. Evolutions: Evolution will function normally here. Except for Trade Evolutions, including those needing both an item and a trade. A means to by-pass the required trade will presented several times throughout the story. If you need an item or a certain area to evolve a party member, these will also be made available during the story. Leveling and Strength Referencing: We will be using a leveling system. However, like in the anime, it will be a lite system rather than an exact one, with three classes used to determine a pokemon's general power range, and then three sub classes within those classes to get a more specific reference. Weak -The pokemon is weak in terms of overall strength (Equivalent to levels 1-33) Sub Classes: Beta Class- Levels 1-11 Delta Class-Levels 12-22 Alpha Class-Levels 23-33 Moderately Powerful -The pokemon is moderately powerful, capable of feasibly participating in the league cup by the time it hits Alpha class. (equivalent to levels 34-66) Sub Classes: Beta-Levels 34-44 Delta-Levels 45-55 Alpha-Levels 56-66 Powerful -The Pokemon is a powerful individual who should be both feared and respected. Grovel at their feet, you pathetic heathens. (equivalent to levels 67-100. Most champions have pokemon ranking in at Delta Class, while E4 members are at Beta) Sub Classes: Beta-Levels 67-77 Delta-Levels 78-88 Alpha-Levels 89-99 Omega Class- Level 100 ??? -An Unknown teir. in fact, it is unknown whether or not is possible for a normal pokemon to even grow this strong, and as such it used purely for theoretical purposes such as discussing the power levels of the Gods themselves. (Think of it as being the same thing to the power scale as a very high, purely theoretical number is to mathematics) Spectra Stones and Technology: Crystals known as "Spectra Stones" are the corner stone of all pokemon related technology, from Tms and Hms, Move tutors, Evolution Stones, Pokeballs, and the pokemon Storage system. Spectra Stones are the crystallized forms of the Planet's raw life force, known as Spectra. When living organisms are born, their soul enters the mortal world from the gates of the spirit world, and are infused with some of the planet's life force to use as their own. When they die, their souls return to the spirit world to be born again some day, and the life force they were given at birth returns to the earth, to be given to a new soul, thus completing the natural cycle. Sometimes, however, Pockets of Spectra become trapped and condensed within the earth's crust, crystallizing into what are known as "Spectra Stones". The are many different types of these peculiar stones, their variety determined by a number of variables, such as the minerals present in the crust where they form, among other things. Each different type of Spectra stone holds it's own unique properties, which various peices of technology have been developed over many years in order to utilize. Different types of stones resonate in different ways when around life forms, and some varieties react around pokemon by allowing them to evolve to a new form, evolve past what was thought possible of their species power, learn a new move... How Pokemon... do stuff: Spectra is the source of all life on the planet. the world itself is providing for things to live on it, and Pokemon are able to preform feats impossible to human beings, such as bending reality, defying certain physical laws present in our own world, and other such things because their bodies possess a greater level of Spectra than a human being's does. This in turn results in Pokemon being imbued with certain powers, greater vitality, etc, that humans have lost since evolving to their current form. Additional Details: as the premise stated, unlike most pokemon RPs here, you as the player will actually start out in this with a little bit of power under your belt in terms of combat capabilities because you will have been seasoned from sufficient past experience, as well as have your most trusted (And likely your strongest) partner from your old team* with you. Just note on the partner though, if you choose to start out with a Psuedo Legendary, you will be unable to acquire another psuedo legend, or a minor legendary. Everyone will eventually get at least one chance to find one, so really there's no point in you even doing it for your first. so don't do it. Also, you will be limited to only a full party of 6 pokemon during this story. you enter the plot with one with you from previous travels, and will be able to catch your other party members mostly at your own leisure. Also, though your first partner will be contained in a pokeball, your other 5 party members will be contained in a different method. Your first partner will be Moderately Strong, somewhere in the Alpha sub class *-Host holds the right to veto a chosen partner Oh... and pokemon can and will die in this, and so will people. :3 Also note in closing: There is a crap ton of plot sensitive information which I am witholding from the public. So... it's here everybody. It's happening! Who's interested? I'll have maximum of 7 slots open for PCs, so once that many people express interest, I'll put up an OOC/sign up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veterans Azeria Posted July 12, 2015 Veterans Share Posted July 12, 2015 It's not a Stratos RP without death I guess. I'm surprised how fast you managed to get this up though.

Raindrop Valkyrie Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Also that feel when Xerneas is made female when it is based on the 4 Stags ((male deers.)) that resided within the World Tree. Most things in Norse Myth are typically male. ((though the thing with Yveltal is what it is based on doesn't have a projected gender from what I can tell.)) Not saying it is wrong mind you... just an interesting choice lol. I mean it does make sense being a female with it being the god that presides over birth etc... but it is weird for a Horned Deer to be considered female. Also another interesting thing. Kyogre is based on Levitation((or way more closely than Lugia is.)).It is very interesting that you gave his inspiration's title to Lugia. Lugia is closer to the Ryūjin, a Mythical Water Dragon and the Shinto God of the Sea. ((which is why it is still weird that it is Psychic/Flying and not Water/Flying for whatever bloody reason.)). I personally think Lugia is much to Reptilian to be based on a whale... but yea as I said personally XD. Just nit-picking for nit-picking sake lol. It's you RP after all. I just find these things interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just find these things interesting. yeah, I know lugia's title doesn't really fit on her, though to be honest, both it and ho-oh barely scraped by in terms of being "Godly" on my personal radar. I really couldn't find any legit reason in their lore for existing, couldn't find their responsibilities, so... yeah, I pretty much had no choice but to wing it... Though perhaps I could make Ho-oh the gaurdian of the sun and Lugia of the moon... that might work... Of course I'm in. Just one thing What the fuck are we actually doing? We got all that exposition on Arcadia and then there's that last line that makes me think it's all a rick roll... EDIT: Imma have to find an equivalent for Doux... My dear trainer, I can not tell you that. It will completely spoil the ending events I have planned for the first chapter of the tale. but i will tell you something. Players will have a role in the preparation for Armageddon; the frozen, climactic battle of the eons that will take place far to the north of Unova someday... They'll find themselves in a rather... peculiar place. A place that has been far removed from the rest of the known world for a very long time. A place where the league has no authority, where there are no pokeballs or a PC storage system. A place they can not leave from... not until it has been purified. Alright, anyway, looks like I have enough people. time to get started on the OOC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutoratosu Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 it's definitely gonna be different. the minimum age needed to participate in the league cup itself is 18 years olds (and no, you can't travel on your own as a kid taking on gyms. in this version of the pokemon world, child neglect is very much frowned upon, so no little prepubescents running around taking out terrorist Armed Heretics trying to seize control of the gods, I'm afraid...) The range will likely run from 21 to about 26 years of age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiss13 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I'm the type who likes writing younger characters myself so I'll likely have my character end up on the lower end of the age range. *Gardevoir for my character.
