I wouldn't have a problem with you obtaining one in your first RP, but I don't like deviating from the starter list.

What is the wooper's significance?

Alright, then. Just checking.


Aside from liking them - I mean, they're axolotls! Who doesn't love axolotls? - the character I've been playing around with is a really laid-back sort of person who just seems like they have a Wooper instead of, say, a Squirtle, because of how low-maintenance they are.

Low maintenance? If something knocks off those gill things on its head, it dies of suffocation!

Hehe, true. He could just stick it in an aquarium and feed it once a week, though. Of course, he'd have to worry about it getting ich or something...


Oh, another question. We can choose not to evolve a Pokemon, correct? If we want to keep a Pokemon in its current form forever , will our character have to permanently equip an everstone on their Pokemon to keep it from evolving?

If you don't want to evolve it, don't evolve it. No special things required.

Right then, thanks.


One last question - is there an age cut-off? I know a character has to be ten years old at minimum, but how high into the age bracket can they get? I know that the oldest character so far is 23, so is a character over 30 plausible?

There is no exact cut-off age that has been said, only that one should "be reasonable." I personally feel that the limit should be 25, but the other mods may have their own opinions on this, and I would await for their response, as well.

Also, having a pokemon that never fully evolves is in some cases awesome. Grovyle for the world.

Like PUC said, there's no upper limit, though we expect a good reason for a 30 year old to be out adventuring with the kids. Hopefully nothing that would get him arrested :P.

Also, the older your character is, the more they experience, and the longer I expect the bio.

Hey, one more letter and you guys can just start calling me Puck! I'm sure no one got that, so we'll just move on.

If you do have a 30 year old trainer, you also might take into account physical ability. No offense to anyone here who is thirty years old, but some people are not athletic and/or do not retain athletic capabilities into their thirties. Might be a little hard to climb a mountain with a bad back (I couldn't do it, and I'm in my twenties).

Hey, they could go the other way and start calling you Robin Goodfellow, y'know.


And as for NewGuy, I guess I'll plop him in the mid-twenties. He's just been 32 in my head for so long that it's kind of hard imagining him any younger than that, whoops.


Last question for tonight at least. What's the stance on vehicles in Furoh? I already know that scooters are allowed and that cars would kind of eliminate the point of exploring, but what about other modes of non-Mon transportation? Can we rent ATVs for mountainous travels? Bikes for the old farts so they don't throw out their back carting a huge sack o' supplies?

I don't see why not.

Is anyone else as excited as me to read Lux's new profile?

No.

_{You guys are making me nervous. D.}


Erm, another question. Someone (I believe it was Puck) once asked about albino Pokemon, and as far as I can remember, it was allowed, although the albino Pokemon was weaker/was ill due to the genetic mutation. Does this still apply?

We don't want a sudden albinosplosion on our hands, but I don't see albinoism as rare as shinies, either (and we have a few shinies in the world as it is). That being said, I think one or two more wouldn't be amiss, so long as it's well explained, etc, etc.

That being said, the person who asked first hasn't introduced it yet.

It was me! *waves her hand* Yes, I asked about albinism and it was approved. I also have an explanation for it, as well. As I think, though, pokemon should not be limited to perfect little clones of each other. Even golden retrievers, who look similar to each other with a generally singular-colored coat of blonde, have varying spots of white and such, different eye-color, etc, etc. Nothing huge (we don't want purple wailords or green eevees), but albinism, while rare, is still a real thing, and I don't think these should be ignored for the sake of having a perfect party (but then, I love drama and conflict).

The pokemon in question - Eowyn - will be introduced soon enough.

Also, I am equally excited about reading your new profile, Lux!

Well, I've looked through PANE's forums now, and it looks just as interesting as Uprising. (I'll most likely be participating once I have more time, and a complete character sheet.)

I do have a question, though, XD. Would an unusually colored pokemon, not shiny, be accepted? Say ... Rattata's are usually violet and beige. What if it was blue and white instead, because of genetics?


EDIT: Make that two questions - Would a non-starter pokemon like Eevee be accepted in egg form if it doesn't hatch until later on? (Certainly not in the first or second RP, though.)

I'm going to say no to the rattata. We only go for minor changes. I think that would be too big.

For Eevee, you could just catch one in your first RP. Is there any reason you wanted to start with an Eevee egg?

I figured it'd be best to ask, XD. No need to clog up the character thread because I didn't.

Oh? I didn't think that captures were allowed in first RPs. Never mind, then. This would be more feasible than my original idea. *Sweatdrop*

Thank you for the clarification, though.

My character caught an Eevee in his first RP The only things we'd disallow are fossil, dragons, ghosts etc - anything that a rookie wouldn't be able to deal with.
