Pokémon: Ashes of Dreams [OOC]

FTR: Yeah, I'm still accepting apps, so if you want to get one up real quick I wouldn't have a problem with it. I believe there is still a Gym Leader and a few starters free~

MM, don't worry too much. Although if you want a starter trainer, you'd better get one apped and in quick. I won't have Rose let them choose their Pokeballs until everyone is assembled, but I can only stall for so long. xD

Himeno, you're supposed to wait to get your starter, not just randomly get it in the thread. They're in their balls, not running around - since there are so many starter trainers this time around, I was going to have them pick their starters randomly from the Pokeballs assembled. Obviously you'd all get the starters you wanted, but it seemed like the way to do it.
 
sorry, i went for the pikachu approach where he wouldnt get into his ball, and it made sense i would get there earlier than the others since the lab was in my home town, sorry if that screwed up your plan :( i can change my post if you want
 
Would you mind doing so? It's not much fun (and doesn't make much sense) if you just come in and then go out again, especially not when other people are already there.

As for arriving earlier than anyone else...Jennifer is sleeping upstairs in the laboratory, so technically you wouldn't get there earlier than her. I just had her sleep in because I didn't want to write an intro for her last night. xD

What I may do is have Rose release them all and then let you guys have your trainers bond with your Pokemon - have them come over to you or something. Might make more sense than just having them pick a ball at random.

Oh, regarding the Team Sol Commanders - your pseudonyms are as follows:

DarkPaladin: Commander Meri
Noctis: Commander Theia
Robert: Commander Ao

...I could have sworn there was a fourth commander, but I see no app :hmmm:
Anyways, you don't have to refer to your characters by those names, but those are the names Tobias will use when talking to you~

Just in case you were interested, those are all lesser-known solar/light deities. I like to fit the theme (Sol is Sun in Latin, and Invictus, a.k.a Sol Invictus, was a major Roman Sun deity in the later days of the Empire), and using the obvious ones is too cliche for my tastes. /mythology nerdage

Expect an update to the information thread later as well, plus I intend to determine just exactly how many bios we're missing...

will everyone please point out that a pokeball is shaking more violently than the others? and maybe someone went to pick it up and a chimchar popped out and scared them so the professor had to force it back into the ball?

changing post now
 
Martel - I'll start working on the profiles...again...now. >.< Only reason I'd want to make a starter trainer is because my Gym Leader character won't really be "active" until people start getting towards Bleu City or if Team Sol starts anything. And I was planning on making my Elite Four a recluse. Haha.

Just worried that three characters may be overwhelming, but it is so worth it for a Pokemon RP. And at least in a Pokemon RP I don't have to worry about AI Trainers spamming status effect moves. :rage: /pokemonplatinum. /rant.
 
I do apologise!

I had asked for a Commander and Gym Leader position but have been unable to get ont ot the site recently, would it still be possible for me to stick a bio of both of the above?

I will start prepping them but wait for a reply before putting anything up on here.

Thanks!
 
Name: Rena Lis

Age: 13

Gender: Female

Hometown: Amaranth Town

Appearance:



Personality: Rena is calm and studious. After her fateful encounter, she devoted her time to learning as much about Suicune as she could. She's not afraid to speak her mind, however doesn't speak out of turn, and holds a high respect for other Pokemon Trainers out on their journey. After her resolve, she realized that everyone battles and trains for a reason, be it for Championship or in the search of a rare Pokemon.

Bio: Rena was never terribly involved in the lives of Pokemon. Her parents ran the local PokeMart in Amaranth town, so she never really interacted with the little critters. Her resolve changed one day when she was 8 and she was wandering along the coast of Route 10, and she had caught sight of a blue blur. It sparkled, shimmered and seemed to dance along the waters as it fled.

She didn’t think much of it until a couple years later when she happened upon it again. This time it seemed to stay a moment, and she made eye contact with the fair creature. That second moment stirred in her the goal of life to capture this illustrious creature. After a fair bit of research she learned the creatures name, but that was all. With a name and a face, she decided to go on a journey to find and capture the elusive Suicune. But first, she would need a companion for such a journey. So shortly after turning 13, she journeyed onward to Amber town to meet with the local Professor, in hopes of collecting a starter Pokemon who could aid her on her quest.

Nickname: Zippo (Charmander)

Gender: Male

Level: 5

Ability: Blaze: When HP is below 1/3rd, Fire’s power increases to 1.5 times.

Personality: Zippo takes to looking after Rena, although despite her age, she doesn’t need as much shadowing as a typical starter trainer would. Together they form an even bond of companionship, one neither smothering the other with protection, but shared.

Brief history: Receives in Amber town at the beginning of the gam—RP. :tehe:

Moveset: Scratch and Growl
 
Hey Noct.
Cameron doesn't have a pokegear yet. as I wasn't sure if pokegear was in the RP. You might wanna edit that bit to fit with my post?

Also I accidentally posted my post like 2 seconds before Hime so they were a little out of whack, so I edited mine to fit hers but coz my post is first its a bit weird. I made a note in orange tho. I just wanted people to know :) <3
 
Hay guys we probably don't wanna get too far ahead. Martel's on the other side of the world, and sleeping right now, we don't wanna bog down so many replies for them to keep up. Besides, eventually we'll be posting in circles since we can't even acquire our Pokemon without Martel's post.
 
Eh she told us to meet eachother so we're meeting haha. But I agree, there is only so much you can post. I guess everyones just excited to start the RP :P
 
Talking with each other for a little while should be fine, though, right?
 
yo Pinky, i Edited my post slightly to incorporate your char's lack of Pokegear, hope Y'all like, and we all are really eager to get this Rp started, few pages in and no pokemon are in ownership by our main chars.
 
Yeah I understand everyone's excited but I'm just trying to think about Martie who's going to wake up tomorrow and has 3 pages to read. =/

Speed posting between the same 3 or 4 people when an RP has so many is usually frowned upon anyway.
 
its not like they're huge posts...and I am sure she will know to skim over the ones that don't directly involve her character (which are most because we know she isn't online atm).

and what does that mean when we finally get our pokemon? How will the RP happen if we aren't allowed to post to our travel group as much as we like? Will it be a snail pace RP? /just curious.
 
Also she only has to look over 1 page fyi, her last post was on page 2.

Edit: anyway, I am sorry for posting too much D:
Some posting guidelines would be good maybe, so we don't piss people off?
 
I know, but 6 replies were all posted within an hour, 2 of which were by the same person. When everyone's so quick like that, you have people talking over each other (like what happened with you and Himeno), and then some people (not just our Game Master) might fall behind because the same 4 or 5 people are posting continuously, even if it is amongst yourselves.

And suggesting that one just skim over posts that doesn't include them is actually quite apalling, since it alludes that people do this often and don't even read a lot of others hard written posts.

I'm just saying that there needs to be more consideration for the others involved despite your enthusiasm.
 
Edit: Ok, now that I am semi calmed down, I will re-write this.
I do not appreciate being told that I am 'inconsiderate' and being made to feel like i am rude or something!

as I said above, maybe some guidelines should be posted, this is my first RP on this site, and where i was originally from our RPs were very different.

someone new doesn't know these things and when told in the RP that we should get to know one another I felt maybe it was ok to have banter between characters. Obviously its not ok.

Dear Martel, i am for real very very sorry for posting 2 times in one hour. This is my first RP on this site, and despite reading all the rules I seemed to have missed this one...

Sorry.
