The end has arrived. In a fierce battle, all of the Legendary Pokemon fought each other for power and dominance over the lands. Their battle lasted many years and killed many innocent humans and Pokemon, and razed the lands. As the battle seemed to reach its climax, Arceus descended from the Hall of Origin and passed its Judgement. In a flash of light the Legendary Pokemon disappeared. The Judgement destroyed buildings, leveled landscapes, and eliminated many. With life nearly over for both humans and Pokemon, the decision was made to travel to a single land and begin repopulating. That land was chosen to be Saffron City in Kanto, as Kanto was the region least destroyed. Eventually people and Pokemon began fighting over the limited resources. These arguments escalated, and eventually people split apart and headed in every direction in an attempt to live on their own. The world is in total anarchy. We are like moths drawn to a flame--we know that we must repopulate and survive, but we are afraid of being burned. We are afraid of the fires that await outside our comfortable homes. We do not know what--or whom--lurks behind our backs... OVERVIEW This is a post-apocalyptic setting. The buildings of Kanto are all nearly gone save for a few makeshift ones. The ones still standing are unsafe for habitation. There are no leaders, gyms, elite four, or champions. The status of trainers no longer matters. Rookies and experts are forced to live together and coexist with their remaining Pokemon in the hopes of surviving. Resources are limited, and you cannot trust the person next to you. It's up to you and you alone to survive, yet at the same time, you know that you need others. The problem is, you can't take three steps without looking behind your back anymore. How will you adapt and survive? RULES 1. All forum rules apply here. 2. One character per person. 3. No controlling of other characters beyond minor dialogue and movement in order to keep things moving. 3a. EXCEPTION: If someone gives you permission to control their character. 4. All Pokemon minus legendaries are available to characters. However, if you just started before the Judgement, you're not going to have Tyranitars and the like. Be realistic. 5. Proper spelling and grammar are nice. Make your posts readable! 6. Because this is a post-apocalyptic world, some of the pathways in Kanto have been altered. It's now much harder to travel to some places, easier for some, etc. 7. Please, if you are accepted, BE ACTIVE. If you foresee being away for a while have someone else RP for you, if possible. I'm hoping I can create ONE RP that doesn't die. PROFILE TEMPLATE Please use this template! QUOTE Name: Gender: Age: Height: Weight: Hometown: Appearance: Personality: History: Pokemon: A FEW NOTES 1. Appearance and personality do not have to be elaborate, as long as there is enough there in order to give us a strong image of what this person looks and acts like. 2. History should include where the character is residing at the beginning of the RP. Include things like how they got there and what they intend to do there. 3. Because the institutions are destroyed, Pokemon storage no longer exists--the person's party are the only Pokemon they have left. They may end up running into old partners along the way. Who knows? 4. Pokemon are allowed to have unlimited moves as long as they can learn them in some way. However, take note of the Pokemon's relative strength. A rookie trainer with a fairly weak Charmander isn't going to be using Flamethrower for a while.

Glad you finally "found" an Rp that you would like xD... Making one is always the best way to get your vision, I would guess ;3
I'll be joining, but I do have a few questions: 1. If everyone chose Saffron as a "safe place"... Then would the other continents still be populated? And if so, are they inhabitable. 2. If they are not habitable/able to start there... Are pokemon from other regions allowed? Such as if I wanted a Bagon or something along those lines. 3. Are pokeballs still an available resource? It would seem to me like their production would stop, therefore meaning that they would slowly and surely die out leaving broken ones and pokemon merely attached by a thin cord. 4. Could you possibly have a small group if you only had one main character? I would be interested in leading a nomadic pack type thing... But I would need to control the other characters at times... I know this seems obvious but I want to make sure... Your title scares me o-o -------------------- ![]() Wanna dance? (click to show ) |

And for the first character... Mine! Use him as reference when signing up.
Name: Patrick Scolia Gender: Male Age: 22 Height: 5'10" Weight: 177 lbs. Hometown: Verdanturf Town, Hoenn Appearance: Patrick has short blonde hair that's constantly messy. He has deep jade-colored eyes, is clean shaven, and has fair skin. He keeps himself in shape by running daily. He has a sharply angled jaw and medium-size cheekbones, giving him a youthful appearance. After the Judgement he developed a large scar on his back from flying debris that he keeps covered, as to not show signs of weakness. His clothing is simple and easy to move in--he wears athletic shorts and a t-shirt, although he also carries a sweatshirt for when it gets cold at nights. Personality: Patrick is one of the few who is openly trying to find others for survival. He is smart enough to know that staying in a group is better than nothing. He has the basic survival skills that he learned at a young age, and also displays average intelligence. He talks moderately and with a level-headed tone, and rarely sees anger. Despite this, he is a bit callous towards strangers but lightens up after knowing them for some time. History: Patrick was born to a middle-class family in Verdanturf, where he enjoyed a modest yet fulfilling life with his parents and older brother. The boys would repeatedly go camping with their father, and their mother was a Coordinator whose Ninetales won many contests. He attended school and did not receive his first Pokemon until the age of sixteen, when he decided to move away from home and enjoy light traveling. He began with a Taillow his mother's Ninetales had caught and began to explore the world around him. His partner grew in strength, and Patrick eventually received a few gym badges for his efforts. He was not one to travel with a large team, instead keeping to his main partner, Swellow, and a few others. At twenty-one, he was flying on Swellow's back when the pair were followed by the Legendary Bird Trio, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Desperate to get away, they dove downwards, taking injuries in the process. He then ran home only to find the town in flames. When the ashes subsided, only Ninetales remained, bruised but alive. He took Swellow and Ninetales with him to Kanto via boat, landing in the port of Fuschia with others from Hoenn. After traveling to Saffron, he settled there with the remaining survivors. Finding the disagreements to be too much, he left Saffron and headed west, towards Celadon, where he found a small community hiding in the old Game Corner basement. Right now he's just trying to survive, hoping that there can be some leadership and unity among the broken few. Pokemon: ![]() His mother's Ninetales, the only survivor of the blaze in Verdanturf. She does not fight much, as she was trained for Coordinating, nor does she reside in a Pokeball. She and Patrick have built a relationship of trust, and he sleeps nuzzled in her fur every evening. ![]() His Swellow was the first Pokemon he'd owned, and became his partner in battle. Swellow still resides in a Pokeball, although Patrick walks with Swellow flying overhead constantly. -------------------- [align=center]I am the earth-mother, and you are all flops.

If everyone chose Saffron as a "safe place"... Then would the other continents still be populated? And if so, are they inhabitable. They aren't populated anymore, nor are they habitable. Everyone who was still alive fled to Saffron. 2. If they are not habitable/able to start there... Are pokemon from other regions allowed? Such as if I wanted a Bagon or something along those lines. Absolutely. 3. Are pokeballs still an available resource? It would seem to me like their production would stop, therefore meaning that they would slowly and surely die out leaving broken ones and pokemon merely attached by a thin cord. Everyone who had Pokeballs still have them, but there really are no markets so there's no more production. 4. Could you possibly have a small group if you only had one main character? I would be interested in leading a nomadic pack type thing... But I would need to control the other characters at times... I know this seems obvious but I want to make sure... Your title scares me o-o I don't see a problem with it as long as there aren't a million people and it's kept to a small limit.

I wanna join!
Name: Mizuno Nariko Gender: Male Age: 17 Height: 5' 4" Weight: 105 lbs Hometown: Cerulean City Appearance: X Personality: Mizuno is very quiet. He tends to come off as shy, but in all honestly, he just wants a friend. He's willing to make friends with anyone if they seem nice enough. History: Mizuno grew up in Cerulean City as an only child. His parents never got along with each other very well and none of the kids his age ever gave him more than a passing glance every other chance encounter. Because of the human neglect, Mizuno never developed good social skills and would often go to the outskirts of the city near the entrance to Mt. Moon and play with the wild pokčmon, finding their company more enjoyable. He loved to swim and missed the comfort of the river that Saffron didn't have. Actually, even if Saffron did have the same river, he couldn't bare to swim in it. Mizuno had had so many friends that lived in that water, and when Arceus passed judgment on the world, all of them died. Mizuno had to get away; there were too many memories in Cerulean and Saffron provided an outlet for him. And as for the pokčmon: Neptune (~26 Vaporeon) Neptune was Mizuno’s first pokčmon, given to him on his 10th birthday. The two grew very close very quickly. One day, while the two were playing by the local river, Neptune found a water stone and accidentally evolved himself. Zephyr (~25 Pidgeotto) Mizuno found Zephyr while she was still a pidgey. She was in a delicate state, one that involved a broken wing and near-starvation. After Mizuno nursed Zephyr back to health, she wouldn’t leave his side. Claw (~24 Sandshrew) Mizuno saved Claw after the sandshrew almost drowned in the local river. At first, he wanted nothing to do with Mizuno, but after almost drowning a few more times, he decided to stay by the human’s side. Rhyme (~24 Pichu) Rhyme used to belong to another trainer, an abusive one. A few months before judgment day, the trainer almost killed her. Mizuno came up and saved her at the last moment, though he ended up with a black eye and a chipped tooth. Cait Sith (~23 Meowth) Cait Sith was raised by Mizuno from an egg he found in the forest. "Cait Sith" is pronounced "ket-chee" by the way This post has been edited by flamefiends: Jul 23 2013, 11:52 PM -------------------- Wait, who's "Flame?" I see no "Flame" here, and I doubt there ever will be a "Flame," in plain sight or otherwise. Besides, you wouldn't call, sweet, precious Flare by any other name, would you?

Family? How did he meet his Pokemon? I do like it thus far. If you can throw in a little more detail I'd accept it in a heartbeat.

Name:Ivy Shadowolf Gender:Female Age:14 Height:8feet 9 inches Weight:4.1 Hometown:Sunnyshore city - sinnoh Appearance:She has long black hair and light blue eyes Personality:Brave but quiet History:She lived a lone for a long time but on her tenth birthday she caught a pokemon Pokemon: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I hope you don't mind if I make some critiques... But... 1. Her weight is without units. She could weigh 4.1 ounces, or tons. We don't know. 2. Her appearance seems lacking. The fact that you've described her facial features, and in barely any detail at that, is simply not good enough. Generally you should describe: Their clothes Their facial features Are they beautiful/handsome? What do they think of themselves? This can also tie into personality. 3. Personality is also very lacking. Just because she's "brave but quiet" doesn't explain hardly anything. Is that implying that she's just quiet by nature? Or is she really shy? Does she like her Pokemon? All things that should be explained. 4. Her height is ridiculous. She's a giant. Enough said. 5. Her backstory seems a little odd. Why was she alone? Does she like to keep it a secret? Did she kill someone? Was she adopted and ran away? You've said that she captured a Pokemon: but which, how, did she form a bond? 6. What about her Pokemon? How did she meet all of them? When? Sorry: I just wanted to attempt to make some points so you could possibly edit it... Simply because I wouldn't accept this if it was submitted. -------------------- ![]() Wanna dance? (click to show ) |

Okay, this is an awesome set-up, but I'll be asking if you'd want to hold a spot for me. I first need to see if I have enough time to be active enough again
