THE STORY SO FAR

Before it all happened, Talandra, a world consisting only of Pokémon, used to be a peaceful land with minimal tension. At one time, the nation of Nightjade, consisting of Pokémon deeply tied to nature, refused to be influenced by the technology and weaponry of the Urban Unity. Despite these tensions, they were at least able to coexist in indifference.

Recently, the Pokémon of the Nightjade were able to discover that evolution items could be applied to any Pokémon, and not just particular ones, through long term exposure. Because of these, any Pokémon could completely alter their types, such as Pikachus becoming fire types, Rock Pokémon were becoming Water Pokémon, and were now known as Advanced Evolutions. And then, the event happened. The Urban Unity became jealous of Nightjade’s new advantage over them, new arrays of Pokémon, new combinations, now available. However, it all lead up to one catastrophic event that changed everything.

The legendary Pokémon Shaymin, through a cataclysmic accident, unintentionally unleashed an infection that decimated the land, resulting in massive unnaturally beautiful flowers sprouting from the ground, letting loose an infection that turned all Pokémon that were exposed to it into Grass-types, causing leaves, vines, and brightly colored flowers to sprout from their bodies. Meanwhile, attempts were made to try and destroy the flowers, but nothing was working, and the infection only continued to spread further and further. The lands of the Urban Unity were the primary target of the infection, and as a result, the Urban Unity Pokémon believed Nightjade was responsible for it.

Juno, a winged white-furred Serachu, the flying type evolution of Pikachu, took it upon himself to lead the campaign in effort to try and prove to the Urban Unity that Nightjade was not responsible. After gathering a sizable amount of forces, he lead the attack on Center Lake City, and in the process, a heated battle between Nightjade and Urban Unity had been ignited. However, while both sides exhausted each other, a new threat had surfaced, attempting to take advantage of the situation.

The Dark Lily, a faction of zealous Pokémon infected by the Shaymin Flowers, sought to actually spread the infection further, their goal to cover the world with the infective flowers and infect every last Pokémon. While Nightjade and the Urban Unity were distracted fighting each other, the Dark Lily attacked both sides in Center Lake City, using their strange powers and causing the city to be overtaken by the growing Shaymin Flowers.

Realizing continuing the fight would only result in both sides dying, it was then Nightjade and the Urban Unity agreed to a truce and became allies to fight back against the Dark Lily, realizing they were the real enemies. However, not everyone agreed to this new alliance. Hisoto the Iron Fist, an Advanced Evolution of Machoke, was furious to learn that Juno sealed the pact between the Nightjade and the Urban Unity. He and his compatriots formed the splinter group called “Newjade” and broke away from the group in their refusal to ally with their former enemy, even going as far as to attack their former allies, and decimate Nightjade towns as revenge. Meanwhile, the winged Tyranitar Advanced Evolution known as Xy, another one of Nightjade’s former allies, spearheaded another faction in his defiance of the new alliance, unleashing his own amount of destruction.

Xy then allied with the Dark Lily to even further spite his old allies. In time, the entire continent of Victakan had fallen to the wrath of the Dark Lily, and in a last hopefully effort, Juno and his allies of the new Alliance made an attempt to evacuate the last of the refugees of Victakan. In their attempt to save as many as they could, Juno and his last remaining forces were overwhelmed by the swarming Dark Lily forces. Realizing there was no way they could fight, they surrendered to buy the refugees more time to escape. However, two of Juno’s allies, Crysanthemum the Leafeon and Chuck the Bastiodon attempted to rescue Juno and his allies. However, the attempt had failed, and as a result, all of them were killed.

With Juno dead, the Nightjade division of the alliance was doomed. However, Habira, a fourteen foot tall Rock giant, had taken Juno’s place as the commander of the Nightjade forces. But despite his efforts, The Dark Lily forces had spread rapidly, infecting all of Victakan, and almost all of Azmarax. Every day, more Pokémon were becoming infected, and had begun to realize there was nothing anyone could do to stop them. In their hopelessness, they joined the Dark Lily, hoping other Pokémon would quickly realize that it was the destiny of Talandra to become a planet of flowers, and all Pokémon were to inherit what they considered to be a gift.

----------------------

It has been five years since these events have unfolded. With the continents of Victakan and Azmarax both nearly completely infected and covered with the Shaymin Flowers, the Dark Lily have turned toward Kanat and Synamax, the last two continents of the Alliance that stand in their way of their goal of covering the entire planet. And every day that passes, the Dark Lily grows in power as more Pokémon become demoralized, and just want the resistance and the fighting to end. More and more, these same Pokémon had sided with the Dark Lily, believing there is no choice but for every last Pokémon to finally accept that total infection was meant to be Talandra’s destiny. However, there are many that still refuse to accept that and will fight to the death to stop it.

The Alliance, combining the Advanced Evolution resources of Nightjade and the technology of the Urban Unity, realize that the odds are still against them, but at least now their chances are better than when they were fighting each other. Now, only small remnants of Newjade remain, most of them either disbanded from Hisoto’s death, or were captured and initiated by the Dark Lily themselves.

Meanwhile, the Dark Lily grows stronger and stronger, using their “Green Magic” to infect more Pokémon and bend all plant life surrounding them to their will.

Time is running out for the Alliance. Its all down to you now. Will you support the resistance campaign of the Nightjade and Urban Unity alliance, or will you join the Dark Lily, seeking to accomplish the dream of infecting the entire planet, convincing all resistance there is no hope? You decide.

THE SHAYMIN FLOWER INFECTION

First and foremost, Pokémon that are already grass types can’t be infected by this. Meanwhile, Pokémon can still evolve even if they’re infected, but the infection remains in their new form.

Essentially, any Pokémon that has been afflicted with the Shaymin Flower Infection is now a grass type, which is either tacked onto the single type they have, or replaces one of the types they had (in the case of a dual type Pokémon). So a Ratatta would become a Normal/Grass type, while a Pidgey would become a Grass/Flying type. In terms of appearance, Pokémon that have been infected are now mainly green in color with leaves and flowers blossoming around them. Like Shaymin, if they stay still in a particular place for at least ten minutes, they cause flowers to bloom around them.

There are both advantages and disadvantages to this infection:

In terms of advantages, infected Pokémon can use any grass-type move, and only need water to survive, though they do need quite a bit of it. Meanwhile, their lifespan has also been tripled (even though this may not be applicable when it comes to the RP) due to the purifying nature of the Shaymin abilities that have been granted to them. They also are resistant to poisonous gases and can even remove them. Finally, they have regenerative abilities, able to heal considerably faster than normal non-infected Pokémon.

The Common Infected – Most of the Pokémon that bear the infection (99%) are considered “common infected” and are now simply grass types with leaves and flowers. Like the Pokémon Shaymin, these Pokémon cause flowers to blossom around them. However, the major difference is the common infected can’t involuntarily infect other Pokémon.

The Deeply Infected – A rare few of the infected Pokémon (1%) have been exposed to so much infection and Dark Lily’s Green Magic enchantment that they are now considered deeply infected (The Dark Lily call them “The Lily’s Chosen” while the Alliance and other factions against the Dark Lily call them the Dark Lily’s Elite or “Weedskins” as a derogatory name). Many of the more noticeable traits are these Pokémon are slightly bigger, have a deeper green color, and the leaves and flowers that are growing out of them are massive. Meanwhile, they have the capability of infecting any Pokémon that comes even close to them, even without the use of Dark Lily Green Magic, and they are a direct source of spreading Shaymin infective flowers. All of the deeply infected Pokémon are extremely proficient users of Green Magic. Also, all deeply infected Pokémon are pure grass types, losing whatever different type alignments they might have had before.

Needless to say, only the Dark Lily have access to deeply infected Pokémon.

FACTIONS AND CHARACTERISTICS

THE ALLIANCE

Combining the discovery of Advanced Evolutions and technology, the Pokémon of the Alliance are trying hard to find a way to fight back against the Dark Lily. Even now, many of the Pokémon within the Alliance have been infected, but still refuse to join and submit themselves to the Dark Lily’s cause. Meanwhile, the Alliance highly values the infected Pokémon as they are the only ones that can directly fight the Dark Lily without the consequence of being infected (because they already are). Meanwhile, even though it may take many years of research, they are determined to find a way to reverse the infection, and remove the flowers that are infecting the entire world. However, at the moment, they have yet to find it…

Advanced Evolution: Going beyond the scope of the game’s evolutions, Advanced Evolutions are fakemon evolutions of already existing Pokémon. In all cases of Pokémon, the Advanced Evolution form follows this pattern:

Single Stage Pokémon (Farfetch’d, Zangoose, etc.) – These Pokémon can now evolve, with their second stage being their Advanced Evolution form.

Double Stage Pokémon (Vulpix/Ninetales, Munchlax/Snorlax, etc.) – These Pokémon now have a third stage that is their Advanced Evolution form.

Triple Stage Pokémon (Charmander/Charmeleon/Charizard, etc.) – The Advanced Evolution form replaces the third stage. So a Pokémon in its second stage would have to decide to abandon their natural third stage to achieve Advanced Evolution.

These Advanced Evolutions also follow this pattern in relation to the evolution item held:

Fire Stone/Magmarizer – Evolve into a Fire type Pokémon
Thunder Stone/Electirizer – Evolve into an Electric type
Water Stone – Evolve into a Water type
Leaf Stone/Sun Stone – Evolve into a Grass type
Dragon Scale – Evolve into a Dragon type
Metal Coat – Evolve into a Steel type
Dusk Stone – Evolve into a Dark type
Reaper Cloth – Evolve into a Ghost type
Protector – Evolve into a Rock type

Other items, such as the Shiny Stone, Dawn Stone, and so on are left to the discretion of the RPer.

Pokémon in an “Advanced Evolution” stage do not have resistance to the Shaymin Flowers and are just as susceptible to infection as other Pokémon are. However, if an Advanced Evolution Pokémon gets infected, they are allowed to become a Pokémon with three types, where one of those three needs to be the Grass type. So for example, if you made a Dark type Advanced Evolution of Wartortle (to replace Blastoise) and he got infected, his types would be Dark/Water/Grass. This is the only situation where a three-type Pokémon can be possible.

Urban Unity Technology: – Because the Urban Unity has researched technology, your Pokémon character can be equipped with armor, have a weapon, and even a vehicle (note that because vehicles are WWII era, they’re quite easy to destroy considering the kinds of powers Pokémon have). Your character can also be a specialist and could also create armor, weapons, and vehicles. Because Nightjade and the Urban Unity have shared resources, any Pokémon in the Alliance can now use their technology.

Note that the tech level in this RP CAN NOT be advanced. You’re free to produce as many WWII or earlier era technology items as you like, but it may not go any further than that. Note that large machines or vehicles, such as battleships or Boeing B-17-like airplanes, should take time to construct. However, simple devices such as radios can be created in single posts.

THE DARK LILY

The Dark Lily arose as a cult that actually praised the arrival of the Shaymin Flowers, captivated by their serene beauty, color, and fragrance, as well as their ability to grow in even harsh climates, now “beautifying” wastelands and frozen tundra landscapes. They also don’t see the spread of the flowers as an infection (they refuse to call it that), but instead consider it to be a blessing and a gift that should be spread across the world and bestowed upon all Pokémon. As a result, they only kill resistance when they pose a threat. Civilians are definitely the first to be targeted for infection and inception into the Dark Lily, while the warriors of the resistance are often disarmed and forcefully committed to the Dark Lily’s will. Those that try to defy them even after infection are imprisoned and are kept in there until they are willing to believe in the cause.

Green Magic – Dark Lily Green Magic is the core weapon of the Dark Lily. With Green Magic, Dark Lily warriors have the ability to command the plants around them, using vines, tree branches, briars, and other similar plant-based offensive measures as attacks to anyone who opposes them. However, these kinds of spells can only be used in outside areas where other plants exist.

In addition, through Green Magic, Dark Lily warriors can use it to summon the Shaymin flowers, which start small but grow bigger and bigger the more time the Dark Lily warrior spends on casting the spell. Also, the more Dark Lily Pokémon casting, the faster and stronger the flowers grow. At the moment, the Alliance has yet to find a solution to stop the process and kill the Shaymin flowers. Meanwhile, they don’t have a countermeasure against the infective attributes of the flowers either. The Shaymin flowers also do more than just infect Pokémon. They can be used to grow up from under buildings, destroying them and causing these structures to crumble to the ground.

Dark Lily also have the potential to use Green Magic to create “The Lily’s Chosen,” deeply infected Pokémon with stronger and fiercer Green Magic and with flowers that can directly spread the “gift” to all Pokémon even without summoning the Shaymin flowers (any non-infected Pokémon within 100 yards runs a high risk of getting infected). In addition, the power of their grass-type moves is tripled. The drawback is creating these warriors is very time and energy consuming, so only the Dark Lily’s elite warriors and commanders are selected for this elite status. Finally, any Pokémon that becomes a Lily’s Chosen becomes purely grass type. If they were flying types before, they simply only have “Levitate” as an ability now, but they are still capable of flying.

With Regards to Advanced Evolutions and Technology – The Dark Lily typically doesn’t have any Pokémon with Advanced Evolutions. Pokémon that have betrayed the Alliance cause after becoming Advanced Evolution Pokémon are typically the first to be selected to become Lily’s Chosen to clear the traces of the Alliance from them, as well as make sure they are committed to the Dark Lily cause (mainly because there’s no way the Alliance would allow them to come back in that state).

Meanwhile, the Dark Lily doesn’t use very much technology, though if it just happens to be there and using it would greatly help them in ways that Green Magic wouldn’t, they would consider it if they possess the knowledge of how to use it. However, they only salvage what they actually need and don’t bother to make their own. At the same time, what they do use is also on a very temporary basis, as they find using Green Magic far more reliable than the weapons of the Alliance.

MAP OF TALANDRA

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Ultradyne/TalandraSequelMapFinal.png

Legend:

Alliance Controlled Areas are locations with name labels marked in Yellow.
Dark Lily Controlled Areas are locations with name labels marked in Pink.

Map Characteristics:

• Large cities are resembled by large white dots with a large city label hovering above them. Smaller cities and towns are resembled by smaller white dots with a smaller city label hovering above them. Small villages are not indicated on the map, but this does not mean they don’t exist! Its up to the RPers to discover and define these villages if they come across them in their travels.
• Any city location that has two dash marks around it (for example, --Graystone City--) indicates a city or town that has been overrun by the Shaymin Flower overgrowth. Though the original infection greatly damaged most of these cities, many of them have been able to rebuild, but now need to compensate for the flowers that surround the cities.
• The city and town possession indicated on the map is only reflective from the role play’s beginning. Its quite possible possession may change over time as control over certain cities is switched from one faction to the other depending on the outcomes of battles and so forth.

DEATH AND DYING

It IS possible to kill other RP characters, as well as be killed by them in this RP. HOWEVER, IT MUST BE DONE FAIRLY AND REALISTICALLY. If your character dies, that’s not necessarily the end for them.

When it comes to which of these two afterlife realms your character goes to, Murhe is the realm of the evil, and Sovinto is the realm of the good (FUN FACT: In Finnish, Murhe actually means woe and grief, while Sovinto means peace and reconciliation). Depending on your character's personal alignment and their past actions, its up to you to decide where they go (i.e. you get to be St. Peter for a day). Obviously, a saint of a Pokémon wouldn't end up in Murhe, and a homicidal maniac wouldn't find themselves in Sovinto. Use your best judgment, but if you can't decide, flip a coin.

Yes, you actually can have Alliance Pokémon go to Murhe if they’re needlessly sadistic, cruel, and murderous to even the Dark Lily, or they’re even cruel and heartless to their own team members. And yes, you can actually have Dark Lily Pokémon go to Sovinto if they were merciful and used peaceful persuasion instead of brute, violent force to convert Pokémon to follow the Dark Lily cause. It all depends on the character and their actions.

And some rules on killing other people’s characters:

• YOU MUST GIVE THE CHARACTER YOU’RE ATTACKING A CHANCE TO RESPOND. There are absolutely NO one-hit kills when it comes to attacking and killing another person’s character.
• Consider injuries as well. If your character is very critically wounded, keep in mind that they won’t be fighting at anything close to full strength, and that further injury should result in death. As far as inflicting injuries to others, start small and work your way up toward graver injuries if the battle continues on. As long as they are fair and are realistically inflicted, there's no problem.
• Upon revival, Pokémon that were infected by the Shaymin flowers are cured, but only if they want to be).

AFTERLIFE

MURHE

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Ultradyne/Murhe.png

Murhe is essentially Hell for Pokémon, where those that have sinned and have done horrible crimes against their fellow Pokémon are condemned.

Grindscape – A typical wasteland, Grindscape isn’t so much as painful as it is extremely boring. The land is very prone to earthquakes, which may seem shocking at first until those who stay in Grindscape quickly get used to them, and realize it’s impossible to do anything with the terrain always shaking and rumbling. Also, nothing grows in Grindscape either, and generally, only the mad wish to permanently live there.

Shatterlands – As a nearby neighbor to Grindscape, most of the Shatterlands is cracked and broken, very much like an arid, dark desert. However, the worst part of the Shatterlands is the hideous and ear-splitting noise. Loud, hideous grinding sounds make it impossible to speak or even think straight. Meanwhile, those that live here are either deaf or are too senile to even notice the sounds in the first place.

The Abysmal Strand – As a twisting, horribly-shaped area, the Abysmal Strand’s pain and frustration is its horrible smell. Those who don’t live in the Abysmal Strand are always nauseous and feel the need to throw up every pressing, foul-smelling second. Also, it is impossible to eat anything and keep it down. Most Pokémon undergo the same pain of constantly feeling the need to vomit, even poison-types. The smells are also from noxious gasses that result in hideous and disgusting diseases, which induce even more nausea and violent vomiting.

Sunken Hills – Considered to be an upside-down land, the Sunken Hills are the home of the completely insane and psychotic. While the landscape looks and feels like a mountain range in reverse, most of the land consists of sunken pits and canyons. As for the Pokémon, they are either completely mad, are total idiots, or are insanely homicidal. Those who live here end up learning a new language only they can speak, and as everyone tries to speak their own language to everyone else, random body language becomes the only real form of communication. Also, everyone seems to want to go somewhere, but they don’t know where to end up going.

Reject City – Reject City actually looks and feels like a normal modern day city at first. However, upon closer inspection, the City is completely overstuffed with Pokémon who are too impatient and still believe they need to work 80 hour work weeks to keep living. Most people in the city either have very dirty jobs, or boring office jobs that never change day by day. Meanwhile, the frustrations of every day life are multiplied many times. To everyone, work hours go slower, and hours of leisure are over in mere seconds. All coffee is decaf, all the cars are the same, all the televisions are stuck on the same news channel, and the weather is always the same: a cloudless sky with no sun. Here, people know what time it is, but the actual date is never mentioned. In fact, calendars completely stop existing in Reject City. There are many in Reject City that even deny they are dead.

Weaponblood – While most of Murhe is psychologically horrific, Weaponblood is the exception. Those who come to Weaponblood get caught up in the desire to endlessly kill or be killed. Always a bloody warzone, fighting and combat never stop and never know rest in this area. Like a twisted video game, those who are “killed” simply respawn so they can kill or be killed again. Weapons like knives and firearms are also respawned so the fighting never stops and so everyone involved with the endless carnage always has something to fight with. As a result, the lands are totally saturated with blood, bullets, broken weapons, bodies and body parts, and the like.

Gluttony’s Playground – Probably one of the most disturbing areas, those that come and live in Gluttony’s Playground are absolutely obsessed with eating. Pokémon are given infinite food to binge on, inflating them up like monstrous balloons as they become completely unaware of what their intake is doing to them. However, the fatter they become, the more their bodies evolve to meet the endless intake, often eliminating needless bones, organs, and appendages such as feet and legs that become useless once they’re too fat to walk. Shortly after, their own blood becomes fatty oil and fat-producing organs begin to grow in their massive bodies.

Firesplatter – Murhe’s star hellhole is Firesplatter. The temperature is always 650 degrees Fahrenheit, but somehow Pokémon can tolerate the heat, albeit not ever well. However, fire Pokémon would actually enjoy this place if it wasn’t so horribly boring. The food here is always burnt, and the heat often drives those that hate it into absolute madness. Also, all Pokémon that live here now have red and black skin, which isn’t painful now that they’ve gotten used to the burns, but it still looks horrendously ugly. Pokémon also start losing their fur and feathers, become very shriveled up, and look terribly ugly.

The Grim Void – Everything in the Grim Void looks horrible, smells horrible, tastes horrible, feels horrible, and sounds horrible. The main objective of the Grim Void is to harass and frustrate as many Pokémon senses as possible at all the same time. For example, a dinner may look like a dead, black roach that smells like manure. When attempting to eat it or touch it, it will feel like broken glass and make a horrible screeching sound during that time. Meanwhile, all things in the Grim Void are like this, defying logic and knowledge to create the most absolute abysmal place to be.

Escaping from Murhe

Knowing you wouldn’t want to be stuck here the entire RP, there are ways to get out. How exactly you find them is up to you, but it should involve seeing at least two of the different areas, and spending at least five posts in each of them (total of 10). What exactly you do to get out is up to your own ideas, but you should still need to work at it. For example, someone who can provide escape may want you to do them a service that requires travel to certain locations. Or you may find a piece of a one-time-use artifact that could bring you out of Murhe, but requires assembly and the pieces are scattered around.

Once you come back to life, you appear back in Talandra normally again, but it needs to be in areas that your team controls. You can’t reappear in an enemy territory.

SOVINTO

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Ultradyne/Sovinto.png

Sovinto is considered to be the Heaven for Pokémon. If your character is good-aligned and is killed during the course of the RP, you’ll find yourself here.

The Emerald Islands – The main feature of the Emerald Islands is its rich vegetation and its incredibly beautiful flowers and foliage. No flower or tree ever wilts here, and it provides a fantastic place to rest and reside in. This is pretty much the maximum amount of paradise a grass-type Pokémon will ever hope to experience. Meanwhile, the area is also known for its pleasant and windy shores, creating a refreshing and sweet-smelling breeze that entices the senses.

The Horizon Crescent – The Horizon Crescent is like one giant sunny beach that’s always just the right temperature. Pleasant breezes make sure this permanent vacation spot never gets too hot, but allows it to stay bright and sunny all day long. The sand is always soft, doesn’t stick like glue even after being in the water, and Pokémon can drink the ocean’s water with comparable refreshment to sweet-tasting flavored bottled water.

Midnight Passion Isles – Starry skies, neon lights and terrific nightlife await in the Midnight Passion Isles, where its like a night out in Vegas without the extreme expense. The drinks are always sweet, the desserts are flavorful and pack as much calories and fat grams as a bottle of water, and the games and excitement are fun, fresh, and can be enjoyed by everyone and anyone. And every once in a while, people break out in song everyone already knows the words and beat to, like it’s the best musical ever performed and everyone gets to be a part of it.

The Sunrise Coast – Renown for its incredible sunrises and sunsets, the Sunrise Coast offers the best place to simply relax, rest, and offer refreshment. Featuring many similar beaches like what the Horizon Crescent offers, the stars are still visible even in the afternoon sky. Offering a warm tranquility, the Sunrise Coast is also known for its serene and quiet plains.

The Aurora Fields – The rolling, beautifully colored plains of the Aurora Fields offer both fantastic views and sights for both those looking upon the ground and the sky. In the endlessly starry expanse of the sky, bright, rainbow-colored auroras shine and wave in the sky with beautiful color schemes never imagined before. These same plains offer reassuring therapy for those that led painful and tragic lives before death.

Wintersong Plains – Blessed with the beauty and color of winter without the harsh, bitter cold, the Wintersong Plains is always like a bright January morning, where the snow is soft and easy to shape, while all of the trees are covered with a glass-like ice that easily refracts light and creates rainbows like a prism. Endless skiing and snowboarding without the risk of pain and injury are a main highlight here, along with refreshing winter sights.

Gemlight Islands – Like a sea of precious gems and stones, the cities and roads are literally made of rubies, topazes, emeralds, sapphires, diamonds, garnets, pearls, amethysts, and millions of other kinds of gems both seen and unseen before. Meanwhile, these islands are full of color and enjoyment, and the jewelry is unlike anything in Talandra and is incredibly easy to create without any tools.

Lovefire Peninsula – The Lovefire Peninsula is the home of lovers who have wed for life, and always wish to remain together for all eternity. Here, the sights and the sounds are always romantic, lovely, and encourage passionate relationships between love-connected couples.

Corona Islands – The Corona Islands are known as the “Islands of Light” due to them being the brightest locations in Sovinto. Despite how bright the light is, all eyes can look into it without squinting or shielding. Meanwhile, bright, colorful and harmless fires dance in the sky, creating magnificent lights and shapes that never cease to amaze.

Escaping from Sovinto

Despite the fact Sovinto is the best eternal dream possible in the RP, I know you want to get back to the fight. There are ways to leave Sovinto, but there’s more to that then what meets the eyes.

Leaving Sovinto means trying to resist the temptations to stay there and forget about the wars, which should be difficult for your character to consider doing. Also, in order to leave, like Murhe, some objectives need to be accomplished. Two different locations (5 posts in each for a total of 10) must be visited in a self-assigned mission, which may be trying to look for a hidden portal, helping someone who can help you find your way back, or assembling a one-time-use artifact that can take you back to the world of the living.

Once you come back to life, you appear back in Talandra normally again, but it needs to be in areas that your team controls. You can’t reappear in an enemy team’s base.

RULES:

NOTE: Several of these rules have been adopted as PE2K role-playing standard. Most PE2K role players will understand them, and I’ll try to make these as clear as I can for GTS role players who may be unfamiliar with these. If you have questions about these, please ask.

The RP Post Header

On the top of each RP post should be a header indicating your character’s name and species, their faction, and their current location. It should look something like this:

Desh the Farfetch’d (Name of character & Pokémon species)
Dark Lily (Faction)
Center Lake City, Victakan (Location: city and continent)

This may sound like a hassle at first, but trust me, it is a MAJOR HELP when it comes to finding who your allies and enemies are, what Pokémon their characters are and what their names are (which will save you from having to go back to the sign up thread and look for their sign up again), and where to find them so that you can interact with them and they can interact with you. Also, if your character is in the same location as other people’s characters, this will be a much quicker alert to that fact rather than having to deeply read into all the intricate details in their posts, which would eat a lot of time and slow the RP down. With this, if you see they’re in the same location as you, it will be a much faster alert for you to be on the lookout for possible interactions that their character may be trying to use with your character, such as conversation, attacking, and so on.

The Traveling Rule

When moving from one location to another, the journey should take AT LEAST three posts. It should work in a fashion similar to this:

Post #1 – “The Departure Post.” The character finishes their business in their current location, and ends the post with them leaving, bound for their next intended destination. For example, let’s say Desh the Farfetch’d decides to leave Center Lake City after buying a few items in town. The last details in the “Departure Post” would be the details of him leaving the town and going beyond the city limits.

Header example:

Desh the Farfetch’d
Dark Lily
Center Lake City, Victakan

Post #2 – “The En Route Post.” The second post in the character’s travel should cover the journey that the character undertakes to reach their new destination. Let’s say Desh is flying to the town of Vora. His En Route post should cover what things he sees and experiences on his way to that location. For example, during Desh’s flight, he may reflect on the things he sees as he flies over the Victankan Plains on the way to Vora. Its also possible his travel may be interrupted by an enemy character. Note that distance does not matter for this rule, but a larger “en route” post should be in order if the travel is very long, such as if Desh was flying from Center Lake City all the way to Houan Peak in southern Azmarax. Also, the form of transportation does not matter in terms of how long it takes to reach new locations, but logically speaking, a character would have to use a ship or a flying or a water Pokémon to cross bodies of water. Also, it can be assumed that roads and highways connect cities and towns to each other.

Header example:

Desh the Farfetch’d
Dark Lily
En Route to Vora, Victakan

Post #3 – “The Arrival Post.” The third post in the character’s travel marks the end of the travel, where the character finally arrives at their intended destination. So after flying over the Victankan Plains, Desh finally arrives in the town of Vora.

Header example:

Desh the Farfetch’d
Dark Lily
Vora, Victakan


Other Rules

• Please, no god-modding (obtaining unstoppable levels of power or luck and/or general abuse of the context/content of the RP) or bunnying (controlling other people’s characters without their consent). These two are a plague to role playing, please try to avoid them and be fair.
• Please, no spamming or flaming. Also, respect your fellow RPers, both the ones on your side and the ones on the opposing forum’s team. If you have an issue or conflict that you want to see resolved, please be courteous about it.
• Role Play posts should have correct spelling and grammar. If you’re unsure, type them in a word processor such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice (which is free). These will allow you to spell check and grammar check your post before submitting it.
• Limit Out of Character (OOC) chat within the RP itself (a quick heads up sentence or two is fine, but if there’s a issue you want to bring up that’s going to be at least a paragraph long, consider using the discussion thread. Also, don’t make posts in the RP thread just for out of character discussion.
• Role play posts should be AT LEAST a paragraph long, though it is generally encouraged to go beyond that.

THE SIGN UP

And finally, the stuff you’ve been waiting for.

Name: (Your character’s name. Last names are optional.)
Gender: (Male, female, or genderless.)

Name: (Commander) Habira
Gender: Male
Age: 112
Species: Geodude>Graveler>Rock King Rock/Grass Advanced Evolution

Description: http://th03.deviantart.net/fs28/300W/i/2008/157/d/0/Regigaia___Fakemon_by_chengkor.jpg(credit to chengkor)
A towering behemoth of rock as strong as titanium. Habira is a fourteen foot tall tower of undefiable and utterly devastating death. Habira has golden eyes, and his 9 red dots formulate his singular eye, and are positioned in the area of where his head is presumed to be- which is actually part of the body. Habira is quite hard to pick out in mountainous areas, and can usually be mistaken for a mountain. Habira is a fearsome sight to see on the battlefield, striking fear in both his foes and friends. The grass is a light green, and he has the beginning of a tree growing on his back, directly upwards- like a spine. The tree is about a foot big currently.

Personality: Habira is an aspiring soldier, holding the values of his allies lives far above his own. He is willing to sacrifice everything for his friends, and fights for the Nightjade cause until the very end. Habira used to argue that the two sides of the Nightjade and Urban Unity should unite, once the Shaymin Flower Infection had begun, but sadly Unity blamed Nightjade, and his calls for uniting were ignored. Habira has a deep respect for Juno.

Habira has become frustrated over the ferocity that the New Lily Forces, and has become troubled over how little the forces of the Alliance have been able to stop the spread of the infection. Habira is pressured by taking the head of the Alliance forces after the death of Juno, but he is firmly setting an example to the troops, and has brought upon strict war time food rations because their food supplies have begun to dwindle, with most of the land's resources having come from Victakan and Azmarax.

Habira is a strong minded fellow, and believes that Juno will return to help stop the New Lily spread. Habira has a great dislike to the infected who think that the land should be filled with the Shaymin Flowers, as Habira believes that it is agricultural destruction, and an insult to the forefathers of the land of Talandra.

Background: Habira lived at Eastedge for a long time, until his late 30's where he left to begin his travelling. He was a large Graveler by then, and lived in many Urban Unity cities. He had a deep understanding of the Urban Unity, and was befriended by many of the Unity soldiers and civilians. Habira, when he was 67, moved to Kanat, where he spent several years relaxing, studying the lore of the history of the land.

Habira was out studying some spectacular findings when he collapsed. When he came to, he was much, much taller, and he had one sole eye instead of two. Habira also noticed he had grass growing on his body, and could not believe it. There had never been anything in the lore about evolving into an unseen creature.

Habira joined the Nightjade army when the Flower Infection outbreak began, and attempted to get the two sides to ally, however, it was to no avail as Urban Unity blamed Nightjade, and his calls were ignored. He tried to refrain from fighting, but had to when he heard of the innocent civilians being killed. Habira played a superb part early in the war, seizing a horde of Urban Unity villages filled with soldiers, as well as Kampuh fortress in the Darkane Mountains, and he managed to capture the Acturian fortess northwest of Center Lake City.

Habira took the front of the Nightjade forces after the death of Juno, and began to formulate a counter attack against the spread of the infection. Habira was formally given the title of commander of the entire Alliance force, as he stopped the New Lily push into the Darkane Mountains, his tactics and decisions having won the battle, against a force double the size of his.

Habira has been planning a massive counterattack against the New Lily, having for the last four years been amassing a large army of not only troops, but siege weaponry from both the Nightjade and Urban Unity.

Faction: Alliance

Other:
Kajin- Habira's right hand. Kajin has been with Habira since the start of the war, and advises Habira.(Lucario)
Kajan- Kajin's brother. Kajan has also been with Habira since the start of the war, and Kajan also advises Habira.(Lucario)
Jaxan- The task leader of the siege weapons under Habira's command.(Machamp)


Name: Griger
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Species: Snover>Abomasnow>Armored Dragon. Ice/Dragon
Faction: Alliance

Description: (credit to fatmon66)
Griger has armor all over his skin, leaving no gaps. The armor on his hands have two sharp points protruding from them, around five inches long and razor sharp. Griger's eyes burn a crimson red. Griger stands at a tremendous 7 foot exactly. His armor is really part of his flesh after he was exposed to the Dragon Scale. The "armor" is a beautiful golden colour.

Personality: Griger is a trustworthy Pokemon who has deep respect for Juno. Griger would never intentionally bring harm upon his friends, as they are one of the most treasured things of his. Griger is a fiery combatant, not one to back down, however, he knows his limits, and will stop if his commander orders him to. Griger has been plagued with sorrow as his only means of escape from Sovinto is dealing a life threatening blow to Juno, and having Juno's blood spill upon a shard embedded in Griger's right arm.

Griger has sworn to himself that he will not do something like that to his friend, he cannot bring himself to harm his friend. Griger believes that the Alliance is a good thing, and that together, the two factions can save the land, and stop the spread of the infection before it is too late.

Background: Griger's past is a big mystery, he himself not even knowing. Griger accompanied Xy to meet Juno, and followed Juno loyally. Griger fought at the battle of Center Lake City, saving the lives of a Hypno and Pikachu when the Dark Lily attacked. Griger was the first one to move into action to save the civilians of Center Lake City from the impending army of Dark Lily. Griger was injured by a Dark Lily soldier using their Green Magic, but he was tended to by a Lockdown soldier.

Juno led a force to Snowpoint to stop Hisoto's destruction, and Griger's helicopter was shot down, crashing into the Mistress' building. Griger survived the crash, but was wounded again by Hisoto. Griger knew he couldn't face up to Hisoto, as he was mortally wounded, and sacrificed himself using a grenade. However, Hisoto survived the blast. Griger found himself in Sovinto, where he resided to asking Juno to come and save him.

Ultimately, Griger discovered that Juno had died, and proceeded to find Juno, and hopefully escape from Sovinto, and return to Talandra and save the land from destruction.

Name: Xy
Gender: Male
Age: 35
Species: Larvitar>Pupitar>Infected Tyranic Dragon(Tyranitar, Dragon ) Grass. Also has the Levitate ability.
Faction: New Lily

Description: thanks to x Giratina for the awesome picture
Stands about 6 foot eight inches tall, and weighs around 250 to 260 pounds. Xy's eyes are a blood red colour, much like his skin. He developed wings thanks to the Dragon Scale he was exposed to. Thanks to the Levitate ability Xy gained, he is able to fly, but not at dramatic heights. Xy cannot fly very long distances, cannot fly in very high heights, and has less manouverability than other flying Pokemon. Xy has a scar across his belly from a spar with a Ursaring.

Xy's skin is now heavily green in colour, a massive patch of grass having encompassed his back, the small sproutings of a tree on his back. Xy's wings are now much larger than before he was infected, and are deep green in colour.

Personality: Xy is a fierce battler, a keen studier of Urban Unity history, even though he despises them. Xy can be quite, cocky, at times, but this can be rare. He is not one to back down from a fight, much like his friend Hisoto. Xy has been referred to as a Munchlax or Snorlax at times, as he loves food. He hates Urban Unity with a passion, for what they did to Hisoto, and what they did to his family.

Xy is a keen battler, and trained daily before the war. Xy has a knowledge of the techniques of battle, from the guns and technology of Urban Unity, to the raw power of Nightjade. Xy is fascinated by the Advanced Evolutions, and has begun researching enormously into the stones, hoping to discover even stronger potential. Xy looks up to Hisoto, and treats him like a brother, which Hisoto does back. However, they do not have a true friendship like some other Pokemon have.

Xy used to be a loner before meeting Hisoto and Griger. However, he opened up heavily when he befriended Hisoto, and accompanies Hisoto on his journeys anywhere. Xy trusts Hisoto with his life, and Xy hopes that Hisoto trusts him with his life. Xy became a changed man after the Alliance formed, being thrown into a deep rage. He began to despise everything about the Nightjade and Urban Unity, hating everyone who followed their pathetic ways.

Xy will stop at nothing until he has wiped the Alliance off the face of Talandra, and has spread the infection throughout the land, under his banner, thanks to his might.

Background: Xy lived on the outskirts of Urban Unity territory, in a makeshift "town", though it was really a camp. An assortment of Tyranitar living together protecting each other. Hugely territorial. Xy had been born at the camp, and had been one of the fastest Pokemon at the camp to grow up, evolving into a Pupitar. Xy lived as a Pupitar until roughly 5 years prior to the war. Xy had long been exposed to a Dragon Scale, and seemed to be the only Pupitar near the Scale.

5 years prior to the war, Urban Unity soldiers marched on the camp, attacking any and all Tyranitar they could see. When they arrived in the child area, they slaughtered all the Larvitar, and began killing all the Pupitar. Xy was the last Pupitar left, and he closed his eyes as they closed in, when he was suddenly enveloped in a blinding flash of light. Xy could hear bullets firing, but felt nothing. When the light subsided, Xy had evolved into.. a Tyranitar.. but not a Tyranitar.

Xy mercilessly cut down the Urban Unity soldiers like they had cut down his family, making them suffer tremendously for it. He called himself a Tyranic Dragon, because of his new found wings, and because he was born from the tyranny of Urban Unity's evil act of evil.

Xy travelled the land, and headed towards Nightjade territory. He sought refuge, as he was wanted by Urban Unity for killing ten Urban Unity soldiers, though they had no sketch or appearance of him. Whilst in Nightjade territory, he met a peculiar Pokemon who called himself an Iron Fist, though he had never seen, or heard of a Pokemon like that. It seemed he too had been exposed to some sort of stone. Xy moved into Urban Unity territory, where he began to research their technology. He stayed there for two years before he was pursued by civilians calling him a monster, a freak of nature.

Returning back to Nightjade, he decided to research the magical stones, and discover their full potential. Xy decided to keep the information he had learnt about Urban Unity weapons to himself, as he was utterly confused by how their technology had been made, what their technology consisted of, however, he had more knowledge of Urban Unity weapons than any other Nightjade he knew.

Xy met back up with Hisoto, and Hisoto's companion, Aux, as well as his own companion Griger. Hisoto was heading to find the fabled Juno, a great Pokemon of the Nightjade. Xy decided to stick with Hisoto, keep him company on his journey and to meet this Juno.

Xy fought with dedication at the battle at Center Lake City, ultimately being killed. Upon his return to Talandra, he discovered that Nightjade and Urban Unity had ceasefired, and he became enraged, breaking away and taking over Ysrenia by amassing a force of angered Nightjade soldiers and civilians who felt betrayed by Juno. Xy attacked Eastedge, heavily decimating it, before allying with the Dark Lily, forming the New Lily faction. He attacked the Alliance forces at Victakan Plains, killing Juno, Crysanthemum and Chuck, and swept the lands of Victakan and Azmarax away beneath the infection.

Xy was given command of the New Lily- his own segment of the Dark Lily- forces, and became in the public view of the Alliance, the leader of the New Lily forces, however, he is not the true leader, merely the frontal piece whilst the true leader begins preparations. Xy immediately amassed a enormous army, severly outnumbering the Alliance forces tremendously, and began construction of Nightjade siege weaponry to counter the Alliance's siege building. Xy was soon picked to become a Chosen, which further rose morale of his forces at the knowledge their leader was a Chosen.

Other: Xy has a knowledge of Urban Unity weapons and their capabilities as he used to live in Urban Unity for a while, studying their past. However, he has no idea how to use them. Xy has a powerful control over the Green Magic, as he is a Chosen. He is by far one of the most powerful Green Magic users of the Dark Lily forces.



Name: Hisoto
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Species: Machop>Machoke>Machamp Advanced evo(known as Iron Fists ) Fighting/Fire
Faction: Nightjade
Description: credit to TheBlueFlames on deviantart for making this..
Hisoto's eyes are a deep red colour, filled with the hatred he feels for Urban Unity and their petty technology. Hisoto stands at about six foot eight inches, towering above most Pokemon. Hisoto has a large scar going over his right eye, but it does not hinder his sight. Hisoto has no visible mouth, however it is under the metal around the neck, which doesn't seem to muffle his speech.
His two large spikes on his upper back can be used as a last-ditch weapon, and can penetrate most objects. His fists are made of a material that looks like Iron- why the evo is referred to as Iron Fists- however, the fists, and spikes are made of a material native to Talandra(got that right?), which is nearly as strong as diamond.
Hisoto weighs about 200 pounds.
Hisoto's skin is as tough as metal, and thus is hard to be affected by bullets. This is not to say he can't be killed by bullets, his skin is just really tough. Think the Hulk, but a bit softer. Bullets can pierce his skin, but they don't penetrate fatally unless it is within ten metres, even then, it is quite hard. (if you want me to edit this if this is overpowering, then I shall Neo..)
Personality:
Hisoto is a battle genius, studying his opponent's moves, and appropriatly countering them with his own strategy. He has a good sense of humor, and has been seen once making jokes with an Urban Unity before a battle. Hisoto is not one to back down easily, and will protect his friends, and comrades, to the very end, even to the point of sacrificing his own life for his friends to escape.

Hisoto has been known to have a mean streak, and can be a tough cookie to crack. Some say he is slightly mental as at times he can appear quite insane. However, he is in fact completely sane. Hisoto has been known to be considerate of others, as long as they are his friends. He is overprotective of his friends- well he should be, there is a war-. He can be easily angered if provoked, and will crush you.

Hisoto and his companion are like brothers, and Hisoto trusts his companion with his life. Hisoto also trusts his long time friend, Xy(my other character). Hisoto is loyal to Nightjade, after a member saved his life when he was just a Machop. Hisoto will fight for Nightjade, will die for Nightjade, he is Nightjade. Hisoto despises the Urban Unity for what they did to his family when he was a child, and wants revenge.
Background:
Hisoto was brought up by a travelling band of Machoke before the war. They used to travel the land, and were allowed passage into Urban Unity land even though the group of Machoke were considered Nightjades. As long as the travelling group did not threaten Urban Unity, they were allowed passage. One night, five Urban Unity Pokemon assaulted the group who were staying near Oasis, and they were slaughtered helplessly by the barrage of bullets. Hisoto tried to fight them off, but was cut down. However he did not die like the others. The Urban Unity men thought he was dead and left, making sure to burn down the camp.

A passing Riolu rescued Hisoto, and tended to him. When Hisoto regained consciousness, the Riolu still tended him until he fully recovered. The Riolu was called Auron, and the two became friends. Hisoto had to leave to train, as he wanted to avenge his fallen family, and he bid his farewells to his new friend Auron, and disappeared into the horizon(walked away). Several years went by, and Hisoto evolved into a Machoke. One day when he was training, a stone fell, and embedded itself in his back. There was no way of getting it out, and he was exposed to the stone- which turned out to be a fire stone. Several days passed before Hisoto began to feel weird, and the stone began shining a bright red, exploding around him in a blinding flash of energy. When the energy subsided, he was a whole new Pokemon. Hisoto decided to call himself an Iron Fist, on account of his now metallic hands.

Deep inside himself, Hisoto could feel the flames swelling, and he felt better, stronger, than he believed he could of ever achieved. Thanking Arceus(Arceus is the Pokemon God after all) for bestowing this gift upon him, he travelled back to where he had left his friend Auron. Sadly, Auron had long since left, and Hisoto remembered some advice Auron had given him. "When you feel as if you are ready, join the Nightjade."

Hisoto did this, and formally became a part of the Nightjade. He has been searching for his friend Auron for some time. When Hisoto formally joined Nightjade, he met a Pokemon that looked like a winged Tyranitar, called Xy, and the two became friends.
Hisoto and Xy were friends, but were not as good friends as Hisoto and Auron had become.

Hisoto heard of a fabled Pokemon that had wings, a Serachu called Juno. Hisoto admired the tales of Juno, a great leader, charismatic, energetic, qualities of a good friend, and mentor. Hisoto decided he would seek out Juno, and learn from him, hoping to better himself so he could live up to his dreams, achieving revenge.

Hisoto was enraged when Juno allied with the Urban Unity, and betrayed the newly formed Alliance, forming his splinter force of the Newjade. He decimated Snowpoint City, but was ultimately killed by the teamwork of Juno and Crysanthemum. Hisoto spent some time in Muhre, mulling over his decisions, and ultimately decided to seek redemption, collecting the Sword of Skaros in the process.

Hisoto returned to Talandra, and tried to rejoin the Alliance, however he was captured for execution. Hisoto was saved by an unknown figure, the night hiding the figure, and Hisoto escaped. Hisoto is hiding out somewhere in the Darkane Mountains, waiting.

My other three will be in another post XD Decided to formally make my NPC companions into characters...

Posted by: Neo Pikachu Oct 4 2010, 02:46 PM

Looks good, Kaioo! They're all set, I'll set the list up in a moment.

Name: Juno
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Species: Serachu (Pichu > Pikachu > Serachu: Electric/Flying). Pikachu evolved with Shiny Stone. Name comes from Seraph + Pikachu combined into one.
Faction: Nightjade

Description:

(Yes, I drew that myself. No credit needed here!)

Juno http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y109/Ultradyne/JunoInfected.png. IF he gets infected. :P

Standing 3’6” and weighing 35 pounds, Juno is covered by snow-white fur, except for the two yellow-gold stripes on his back, his yellow-gold cheeks and the yellow-gold stripes on both of his long ears. Meanwhile, the interior of his long ears is a pastel yellow, along with the down feathers that are on his wings. Atop his head is a slight overgrowth of fur that behaves somewhat like a crest.

On his back are two massive wings with pastel yellow down feathers and snow-white flight feathers. The thunderbolt-shaped tail from his Pikachu form has been changed into a long, sweeping white tail similar to the tail feathers on a bird of paradise. On the back of his legs are small “wings” of feathers pointing toward the back. Between these wing-like projections, along with his wing-shaped ears, Juno has the appearance of having six wings.

In terms of other physical characteristics, Juno is an extremely fast flier, using even the inherited speed and agility of his previous forms when it comes to flight, able to slightly overtake a Pidgeot’s Mach 2 speed. Meanwhile, Juno is especially perceptive, accurate, and is an extremely talented tracker, able to pinpoint and ascertain differences and discrepancies that would normally be missed by others. When enemies encounter him, they usually find they can’t run or hide.

Lastly, Juno is also very charismatic, which causes other Pokémon to see him as a leader among them.

Personality: Casual, free-thinking, and open-minded, Juno is the type of Pokémon that uses better judgment to make his decisions rather than rules and protocols. Because of this, he’s a master at improvising even in rough situations. In this same light, he feels ethics and knowing right from wrong by natural intuition will always be stronger than any law or principle. Meanwhile, Juno has a strong sense of humor and friendship, able to bring cheer and inspiration to others

Juno is also very optimistic, looking at the bright side of things rather than getting bogged down with depression when it seems like things are getting desperate. He sees hope as a major motivator, not just as a wish, but as a goal and a destination. He also believes good things are worth working for, even if the road to get to them seems long and hard.

Meanwhile, Juno greatly values friendship, camaraderie, and companionship, always asking himself about what he can do for others before doing the things he can do for himself. Because of this and his charisma, many Pokémon saw him as a natural commander back when he was still alive. And when it comes to his allies, Juno would never make a choice that would endanger them needlessly.

With regards to the Dark Lily forces, Juno is determined to find a way to stop them, even beyond the realm of death. He understands that it was never Shaymin’s intention to release the massive infection across the world, and because of that, the spreading of the infection is wrong. Right now, his primary focus is to get back to Talandra, and hopefully continue to fight the good fight. As for Sovinto, it pains Juno to try and leave it, but he knows he needs to set it aside for another day.

Background: Juno was born as a Pichu in the big city of Sylath to his mother Nyrice and his father Decken, both of which were Raichus. Juno was the oldest child of four, with two younger brothers Syrak and Kaz, along with his younger sister Jyita. Juno’s family was a bit on the impoverished side, but regardless, Juno kept an optimistic nature, always cherishing the things he already had as opposed to wanting the things that were beyond his reach. Unfortunately, Juno’s family didn’t have the Poké to provide for their education, and as a result, all four children needed to work in order to afford it. Among his brothers and sister, Juno was eager to discover new things about the world around him, and he worked hard in town as a store clerk to get the Poké necessary to pay for his education.

Without much surprise, Juno was the first in his family to evolve into a Pikachu, mainly a result of the happiness obtained in his discovery of being able to obtain the things he wanted with hard work and dedication. Even in his new form, Juno seemed even more charismatic, seemingly born and destined to do great things. As the years came by and Juno began his education, he showed signs of strong leadership, intellect, compassion, and empathy for those around him.

When Juno heard the story of the discovery of Advanced Evolution Pokémon, it was something that captivated him and inspired him, but in the beginning, he wasn’t exactly sure what item he should use. Still, growing up in the city of Sylath, he had seen many rolling deserts and oceans that went on for as far as the eye could see, locked against the horizon of a massive, blue sky. For the longest time, it had been Juno’s dream to be what he called a “cloudchaser,” fantasizing about flying with the birds. Regardless, as Juno knew, Pikachus typically evolved into Raichus who weren’t capable of flight. But with the recent discovery, Juno opened his heart and his faith, hoping he could find the right evolution item to grant him his wish. Knowing what most of the other evolution items did, he placed his faith in a Shiny Stone, paid for with very hard earned money, knowing he only had once chance to do this, but he was willing to give it a shot. Throughout time, Juno wore the stone as a pendant, keeping it close by him. Most Pokémon that knew Juno very well realized what he was trying to do, and Juno’s mission captivated them as well as they all wondered what exactly a Pikachu would evolve into when using a Shiny Stone.

And then one day, a few years later, it finally happened, and Juno evolved into the first ever “Serachu.” The Pokémon who knew him weren’t sure if it was luck or some kind of divine faith or wish that granted Juno the wings that he had sought for so long, but regardless, Juno was ecstatic over them. And then, for the first time, Juno used his wings to fly high and over the city of Sylath, being able to touch the sky like he had dreamed of doing for so long. Because of Juno, many Pokémon see him as a role model to inspire anyone that has always longed for something special, but came close to giving up.

Shortly after these events came to pass, Juno dedicated himself toward becoming a protector of the Nightjade faction, training himself to be a stronger warrior and guardian of the Pokémon that looked up to him.

During the course of the war, Juno made allies with the Pokémon in Snowpoint, and lead the attack on Center Lake City. However, it wasn’t long until a new crisis revealed itself to him, notably the Dark Lily, who took advantage of a weakened Nightjade and Urban Unity. Meanwhile, he had been informed that Hisoto had betrayed the Alliance, and Juno joined forces with Crysanthemum the Leafeon, and stopped Hisoto. However, unfortunately, neither of them could save the town, and Snowpoint had been leveled to the ground. In addition, Xy, who had also once been Juno’s ally, had decimated Eastedge.

When it became clear there was nothing they could do to save Victakan, Juno made the plan to evacuate, working alongside Oracle and Prophet, fellow Nightjade commanders, to get as many Pokémon out of Victakan as possible. During the mission, Oracle’s forces were overwhelmed, and Juno and his small army of only 1,000 troops was overwhelmed by the massive swarm of Dark Lily soldiers. Realizing there was no hope of fighting back, Juno selflessly stood his ground, giving the refugees time to get away while Juno and his compatriots took the fall. Juno, standing face to face with Xy the betrayer, offered to surrender. However, Chuck the Bastiodon and Crysanthemum the Leafeon both attempted to rescue Juno from Xy’s clutches, but their attempt had failed. As a result, Xy grew in anger, and immediately ended the lives of Juno and his allies.

Now, Juno finds himself in Sovinto, struggling to try and find a way to escape. Meanwhile, he feels pressured to try and get back as soon as he can, already feeling that so much damage has been done already in his absence.

Other: Thanks to Crysanthemum’s help, Juno is proficient in using light machine guns, as well as the bow and arrow, the weapon that Juno used to use. In addition to that, Juno carries a katana with him named “Starchaser.”

now for my other characters XD

Name: Aux
Gender: Male
Age: 37
Species: 3 Charizard->Dragonic Overlord. Fire/Electric.
Faction: Alliance

Description:
Stands at a glorious six foot nine inches. Aux's skin is a fiery mixture of ruby red and blazing orange. He has one large tail, spanning about two feet, which rises upwards, and is a mix of blue,yellow and red. His middle head- the fire- is the most dominant, and does all the speaking, the other two heads remaining silent. Aux has three crystals in his chest- a red one, a yellow one and a blue one- symbolising the three elements of Fire,Electric and Ice, however only two of the crystals actually provide power for Aux.

Personality: Aux has been dumped with a huge task of commanding the Nightjade forces, but has promised that he shall do his best. He is a fearless character, feeling that nothing is impossible. Aux is a smart fellow, knowing the fundamentals of battle. He holds an enormous respect for Juno, and if Juno were still alive, would not think twice before stepping down as commander, and giving the rightful leadership back to Juno.

Aux is a fierce fighter, not one to give up. He will never back down, unless all seems to be lost. Aux is easily angered, however he has learnt to keep his anger locked inside him, and not unleash it, as it could lead to a foolish decision that would backfire upon him, and lead to disaster. Aux also has a undeniable respect for Habira, who has done well in leading the Alliance. Aux is angered by how petty Xy is, and will not give up until Xy is stopped, whatever the cost may be.

Background: Aux's history is actually of three different Charizards from three different backgrounds. One lived in Syn City, studying tremendously over the fundamentalities of life, one lived in Eastedge, studying the plant life, whilst the other lived in Scarwell, and was a mechanic.

The three of them soon left their lives behind, meeting each other at Ysrenia, where they decided to travel together for a while. One day, the three were involved in a rockfall accident, in the process the trio becoming entangled and exposed to stones. When they awakened, they founds themselves joined in one body, with one mind. Aux's name came from the three Charizard's names, Adrian, Uther and Xyrion, or Aux.

Aux met Hisoto,Xy and Griger, and joined the Nightjade forces. Aux participated in the battle of Center Lake City under the leadership of Juno, but ultimately died in the battle. He returned to life in Minacen, along with Xy, and discovered that an Alliance had formed between Nightjade and Urban Unity. Aux then accompanied Oracle and Mismatius in the attack on Cyan Bay, razing the city to the ground, before rushing to aid the main force at Snowpoint. The battle turned sour, many troops under Oracle,Aux and Prophet's command dying to protect the refugees. Aux and co. reluctantly fell back when the refugees had escaped, not knowing the fate of Juno. Aux later discovered that Juno had fallen, and swore he would avenge his friend.

Other:

Name: Oracle
Gender: Male
Age: 113
Species: Misdreavus>Mismagius>Mismatius the Ghost/Dark Pokemon
Description: Credit to Masterthecreater of Deviantart for the picture.
Oracle is a one of a kind majestic Mismatius, the Ghost/Dark evolution of Mismagius. However, normal Mismagius don't become a Mismatius thanks to any stone, so he is truly one of a kind. Oracle does not truly have a physical form, and thus cannot be harmed by Physical attacks or physical projectiles such as bullets, however he has a weakness to Pokemon moves, especially Water and Rock moves. Oracle is an elder Nightjade Pokemon.

Personality:
Oracle has over the past five years changed tremendously. Originally, he wanted revenge against Urban Unity, but the first few days of the war showed him that he had to change. Or he was just like the Dark Lily. And they could not be forgiven. Oracle learned to like the Urban Unity, assisting with their duties at times, out of place for a Nightjade commander. Oracle is considered a seer Pokemon.

Oracle is a wise Pokemon, and has respect for Juno,Habira and Prophet. Oracle is in a way a laid back Pokemon, and he loves to be in the fray of combat, alongside his troops. Oracle prefers to get the job done his way, rather than the way of others, however, he will ultimately follow the orders of his superior

Background:
Oracle has not been alive for fiftyeight years, having been killed by Urban Unity soldiers when he was fifty. Oracle had led a somewhat hermit life, hence his name Oracle. He used to give prophecies to Pokemon that came from far and wide to seek out his prophecies, though he did make it clear if it was a very very big thing he would not reveal it.

Oracle had seen the prophecy of doom, and kept it to himself, however, rumour managed to spread of Oracle holding a deep dark secret, and Urban Unity wanted to know it. A dozen soldiers arrived at Oracle's camp near Snowpoint City, demanding he reveal the secret. He refused, and was cut down. His orb was shattered in the process, and revealed a magical stone that had long been exposed to Oracle. The Urban Unity soldiers left Oracle's camp, displeased with the loss of the secret, but they had been ordered to kill if he refused.

Oracle was brought back to life, but not physically. His body was enveloped in the bright flash of light from the stone, and when the light subsided his body was no more, and he was a floating mass of energy, he did not know. Oracle found himself in another realm, where he met Prophet.

Prophet had been in the realm for at least several hundred years, he was of course, the ruler of the realm. The Prophet and Oracle befriended each other, and Oracle expressed his desire to return to the world, which the Prophet could do, but only by destroying his own world. Somewhat distraught over the possible loss of a friend and his world, Prophet secluded himself from Oracle.

Oracle decided to convince Prophet, by revealing a fact. Prophet did not need the dark, empty realm that he called home. There was a large world filled with many Pokemon, many wonderous things, awaiting him. Thus persuaded, Prophet destroyed his otherworld, and the two awoke in the Pokemon world. The two decided to travel together, and became revered as the Pokemon that could not be harmed, mainly to the fact that whenever they got attacked, it was by idiotic Urban Unity troops, or Urban Unity deserters, thinking they were spies or something.

Oracle revealed to Prophet of a coming war, of a disaster that would spark the war, of the massive loss of lives, and Prophet was distraught. He wanted to help. Oracle told him all about Urban Unity, and their technology and machines, which Prophet distasted heavily, hating how they had lost their purity. Oracle then told him all about Nightjade, and though they officially did not join the army of Nightjade, Oracle was given command of 300 Pokemon, a strike team of Nightjade elites, prepared to do anything.

It turned out Oracle had been gone for 58 years, and the war had begun. Oracle participated in the capture of Minacen, and the destruction of Cyan Bay. Oracle without hesitation agreed to the Alliance, and proceeded to rush to the aid of Juno and his forces at Snowpoint City. They were then attacked by Xy, and Oracle led his troops to hold off Xy's forces whilst the refugees escaped. Once their job was done, the forces retreated. Oracle discovered that Juno had fallen, and was angered, however he knew that to fall into anger would be pointless.

Other:Oracle has a staff made out of the same energy as his current body, which can be used as a physical weapon.
Oracle is unaffected by the move Psychic, as he has no form of which to be lifted.


Name: Prophet
Gender: Male
Age: ???(He has been in the living realm for 5 years, but as far as that, nothing is known as he existed in his own realm for his life)
Species: Castform->Fog Electric/Water
Faction: Alliance

Description:
Prophet is 6 foot 5 inches, but has no ultimately physical body, much like Oracle. Prophet is actually unknown as to what Pokemon he is, as he is one of a kind, and lived in his own realm his entire life, until 5 years prior to the current time. Prophet's body is just a mist really, however his "arms", "legs" and "head" all appear physical, however projecticles will just faze through him.

Personality: Prophet is a wise, sage-like Pokemon. Prophet is a fiery fellow, known by Oracle to have great extents of anger, however he keeps it easily under control. Prophet is a mysterious Pokemon, only Oracle truly knowing what he is like. Prophet is a strategic master, and is not one to be messed with.

Prophet is a majestic Pokemon, and is not one to back down, much like his comrades. Prophet is one to keep thoughts to himself, and expresses himself if need be. Prophet has a deep respect for Oracle, the two having travelled together for the last 5 years. Prophet is a fearsome sight on the battlefield, his presence fear-bringing thanks to the lack of physical weaponry able to harm him.

Background: Prophet's history is fairly unknown, no-one knowing truly about his past. All that is known he has expressed to Oracle alone. Prophet spent his entire life in his realm, controlling it, moving through it, the time passing by unknown to Prophet.

Prophet and Oracle joined the realm of the living, the two joining the Nightjade forces under Oracle's recommendations. Prophet followed the commands of Oracle, not questioning him once. Prophet rescued Oracle at Minacen with reinforcements from Eastedge, and secured the city. The duo, accompanied by Aux, led an attack on Cyan Bay, destroying the city, before moving to aid the Alliance forces at Victakan Plains.

They protected the refugees, before reluctantly pulling back. Prophet,Aux and Habira began planning straight away about the counterattack against the New Lily forces, and a plan may be about to be put into action.

Other: A sword made purely out of electrical energy, but acts like a normal blade.

Name: Thunderfang

Gender: Female

Age: 11

Species: Pachirisu ~> Shadow Pachi (Bad at making names...)

Description: The pachirisu is considered short, standing two feet, bigger than a normal pachirisu. She weighs only 9 pounds, also heavier than a normal pachirisu, her thick pelt causing the extra 4 ounces. Thunderfang has jet black fur replacing a pachirisu's normal snow white pelt, making it easier to blend in with the shadows. She has a normal pachirisu's ear and stripe color, blue. her electrical cheeks are blue, creating blue sparks from time to time. The front and back paws of Thunderfang are blue, lighter than the ones on her tail and ears.

Her spikes on the tail disappeared, making it flat. The curl of her tail lessened, making it straighter than normal. Her pachirisu tail shortened a bit, not quite as long as a normal pachirisu's. There are sky blue diagonal markings on her back, glowing slightly, making it seem like an shiny umbreon's markings. There is also more fur on her cheeks than electric pachirisu's, furrier too.

The shadow pachirisu wears a 'necklace' which is basically just a black thread hung around her neck. On the end of this black thread, a blue thunder-shaped necklace is attached. It glows faintly all the time but only when on the pachirisu. She found it just lying on the floor and something urged her to pick it up and keep it.

Personality: Thunderfang is a loner, tending to stay away from other pokemon. She likes to be alone, not really liking to work in a team, but knows if she has too, eventually giving in. The pachirisu hates when others call her 'cute' or 'adorable', those are her least favorite words. Thunderfang is cold to pokemon she just met sometimes getting uneasy as you approach her. After getting used to your company, she might act a little colder than usual, attacking more often.

When you insult the pachirisu, she's unpredictable. Sometimes she completely ignores your insult and other times she just explodes. When she does explode, sparks fly from her cheeks, ready to zap you from your electricity. Discharge is her favorite move, along with Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball. Thoses are the moves she most likely will use against you. Another way she reacts is to just insult you back. This is when she isn't extremely mad and unbothered.

Thunderfang ignores the world when sad. A darker aura seems to surround her. When you come close, you can catch her muttered to herself, when you touch or make contact, she'll growl and snap at you, quite moody. Sometimes she will use swift, knowing it is not a powerful move but will hit you, unless you use dig. The pachirisu can be heard sighing when said, often sarcastic when addressing you.

In a happy mood, the pachirisu seems open and carefree, lazing about. She likes to play around, pull little pranks on you. Sometimes she's even known to laugh, which is unusual for Thunderfang. But things can easily ruin her mood, like being called nicknames she hates (example: Fangy, Sliver, Darkie).

If you're a friend of Thunderfang's, she lets you see her real emotions, making her easy to read like an open book. If she trusts you a lot and feels like she can put her life in your paws or hands, the pachirisu will protect you, maybe even risking her life. This happens to very little pokemon, it is pretty hard to gain her trust, also very hard to keep. If she feels you're betraying her, showing signs of doubt, she'll ignore you and act a cold towards you.

Enemies of this pachirisu might want to look above yourself. The pachirisu will attack recklessly against an enemy, especially one hated. Her eyes might change from a icy cold blue to a blood red color, attacking fiercely. Thunderfang is more likely to attack from above than from the ground when trees are there. Being a squirrel pokemon, she's skilled in the trees, able to creep silently towards you, careful not the make a sound until she decides to pounce.

Background: As an egg she had rolled away from her parents, eventually hatching alone. The pachirisu has learned to care for herself. Being born in the forest, she had looked at other pokemon for help. When they ignored her, this created her shy nature, although she got rid of it later in her life. This also gave her very little self-confidence, making Thunderfang feel low, unworthy of having good friends.

Later when she was older, she got used to the cold treatment, adapting the personality herself. When encountering pokemon younger than her, the life flashed in front of her eyes, making her nicer towards them. Living in the forest, she learned that food was scarce, especially in a crowed forest and in winter. Gather food when avalible, never goof off if you don't have much food left.

When she was a normal pachirisu, she encountered a umbreon, the first pokemon actually nice towards her. She seemed to like the idea of being a dark type pokemon, wanting to evolve into one later in her life. So she did, finding a dusk stone with her friend after a week. Suddenly a quick fight occured, a electabuzz wanting to stone too. Thunderfang blinked and was willing to offer the stone to him, although the umbreon was not so quick to give it to him. Midnight, the umbreon, growled and told Thunderfang to run with the stone, evolving into a dark type when she was sure no one was following her. So she followed her friends instructions. Thunderfang waited for a day, but Midnight didn't return. Creeping back to the place where she found the dusk stone, she saw her friend at the brink of death. Watching in horror, the pachirisu saw her friend die, making hatred and anger blaze inside of her.

Other: Thunderfang carries a dagger between the curl of her tail and is quite skilled with it. This seems so short....

Please reserve me a spot. I'll post here ASAP!

Posted by: Larvinator Oct 4 2010, 09:37 PM

Ohoho, is that a challenge?

Name: Matryo
Gender: Female
Age: 20 (and she doesn't act it)
Species: Shuppet [Infected]

Description: Matryo’s body underwent a fairly intriguing change with the infection. Her body, generally speaking, looks normal; the Shuppet structure is still quite present, even if her skin is green and her horn seems to have turned into bark. However, once you get more towards the bottom of her body, the change becomes quite evident. It looks as though the infection went up inside her hollowed-out body, taking root and growing downward. The result is something of a hanging garden, with stems and flowers and vines growing downward out of her body and then curving upward towards the light. The vines, in particular, are actually controllable, and can serve as really clumsy hands in a time of emergency.

While with her fellow cultists, she wears the standard-issue robe, but in battle she’s taken to wearing a piece of black cloth with the Shadow Lily’s symbol on it around her neck like a scarf or cape. Otherwise, there’s no particular need for clothes, what with her oddity of a body structure.

Personality: Matryo’s not the sort of Pokemon you’d expect to defy a “keep off the grass” sign, let alone join a sinister cult trying to take over the world with infectious flowers. She seems, for all intents and purposes, childish and happy; not a single Pokemon has seen her depressed, and her goal in life seems to be trying to keep others’ spirits up as well. (There’s no fooling her, either, thanks to Shuppets’ infallible appetite for spite and malice.) Her optimistic nature can make her very oblivious; in fact, it’s not uncommon for her to be humming a happy tune in the middle of blood and carnage.

If that sounds a bit insane, you’re right. Matryo, while not, perhaps, completely over the edge, is most certainly soaking her feet in the deep end (if she had feet, anyway). She’s just too happy, too naïve, too oblivious to be all that grounded in reality. This actually makes her rather dangerous; although she’s always cheerful (and, for the most part, genuinely does want to please people), she cannot really be reasoned with when she has her mind stuck on something, because even if you make a legitimate case to her she’ll selectively ignore it. Also, happy doesn’t mean good, really; she’ll spare infidels on a whim if they’re interesting to her, but she’s certainly devoted enough to the Dark Lily to kill anyone who opposes them. However, she generally considers killing icky, a waste of perfectly good recruit material, and, most of all, directly opposed to her philosophy of spreading joy around; if it's avoidable, she'll avoid it, but if it's not, she'll go right ahead and then get over it quickly with some hasty rationalization.

Being a Shuppet, she feeds off negative emotions; however, she also finds emotions absolutely fascinating in their own right, from fury to joy to suicidal depression. Nonetheless, she rather prefers the happy ones despite her diet, hence her neverending quest to cheer people up. It makes one wonder, then, why she would support the Dark Lily, but the answer is quite simple: propaganda. She’s been taught to believe that what she’s doing is for the good of the world. Plus, being part of a dark, secret club is just so exciting and fun, right?

A chaotic neutral, in the end, but she'll probably find her way to Sovinto should worse come to worse.

Background: Ghost-types, in general, prefer to stay on the edge of society rather than get too involved in other Pokemon’s business; it’s an outsider nature that tends to follow things like being the vengeful spirit of an abandoned doll or having a reputation for spiriting children away to Murhe. Matryo’s parents were no exception and, indeed, were quintessential Ghost-types, floating around in the dead of night in Cyan Bay to go look for an emotional Pokemon to feed on. Matryo followed this pattern (although she didn’t stay with her parents long; Shuppets were expected to break off from their parents rather quickly), growing more and more fascinated with these feelings of envy, malice, and every other undesirable emotion imaginable. Her interest was all the more amplified by the fact that she, herself, hardly ever felt these emotions, and when she did it was so fleeting it was like it’d never happened at all.

Over time her fixation only deepened. Who were these Pokemon, who felt such dark, depressing emotions on such a regular basis? Why? Were their lives really this bad, or did they just have a predisposition to call the glass half-empty and their lives miserable? The questions reached a fever pitch when, moving to the site of a massive wave of fury and hysteria, she witnessed one Pokemon murdering another. Although oblivious to many things, this rather disturbed Matryo; were emotions so powerful? At that moment she made the decision to try and eradicate negative emotions in as many people as she could, since they seemed to cause nothing but angst and trouble; after all, if she was born with hardly a shred of angst in her, how hard could it be to convert others to that philosophy?

The idea of purging was precisely why the outbreak excited her so much. Here was something new, something interesting, and most importantly, something which had explicit purifying power. Cyan Bay was hit hard by the flowers, and Matryo had become a greener Shuppet before nightfall. But why was everyone so worried? Wasn’t this good, these flowers cropping up and giving everyone the power to purify? Why, if everyone just stopped worrying and called this a good thing, it’d be fine! It’s all in the attitude, right?

Fortuitously, a cutting-edge religion was springing up in Cyan Bay that had exactly the same thoughts as her about Shaymin. Her indoctrination into the ranks of the Shadow Lily was a quick affair, what with her being so very eager to spread this new blessing wherever she could. After joining, she happened upon a few friends of sorts. There was Argon, a silent and serious Graveler who, while constantly annoyed by Matryo’s attitude, has more or less the same thoughts about the Shaymin infection and finds himself rather drawn to her cheery nature. There was also, at one point, a neurotic Kecleon named Jikio and a bitter Luxray named Fang, but both of them died over the years (Jikio by Alliance forces while he was trying to surrender and Fang by Alliance forces when he pushed himself beyond his limit); though Matryo was rather sad at their passing, she moved on quickly.

Early in her Dark Lily career, Matryo was more or less in charge of a sneak attack on Minacen, wherein her and the twenty or so cultists under her command spread pollen through the city under the cover of night. The mission was a massive success, with Minacen completely infected by the end of the next day; the riots and civil warring that resulted was an unintentional side-effect, one which Matryo wasn't happy about, but her superiors loved it. She was put in charge of more missions because, despite her bizarre nature, she had an odd charm about her and could be surprisingly sharp when she wanted to be. Plus, Argon served as a fairly effective foil to her loopiness, keeping her plans from getting too convoluted.

Before long, Matryo was climbing the ranks; now she's a commander of sorts, though usually only in covert or diplomatic missions (which is not to say she can't fight). Also, she actually isn't a Deeply Infected; it was decided that being a Deeply Infected would completely neuter her for negotiating, and, however disappointed, she had to agree. People who thought being infected was scary were stupid, in her opinion, but if she can convince people without killing them, she's all aboard.

Other: Argon, as a counterpart to Matryo, is a serious and rational Graveler (infected with moss, naturally). Of course, sanity is relative: he sees the Shaymin outbreak the same way Matryo does and doesn’t shy away from killing anyone who questions it. He gets annoyed with Matryo on a regular basis thanks to their opposite personalities, but they’re actually fairly good friends.

Also, I find it amusing that most of the Dark Lily rationalization in the info looks like Matryo's rationalization. Guess that's what happens when you're the only genuine RPer on a faction.

Hilariously enough, I discussed the idea of infecting the afterlife realms via a Deeply Infected dying and going there with Neo and he admitted it'd be possible. Generally speaking, though, I think the Alliance would severely outnumber the Dark Lily in Sovinto and vice-versa in Murhe, so it wouldn't be much of a contest.

I still like the basic idea, though. Tensions between the two sides ought to still remain in the afterlife realms, especially Murhe.

Posted by: Neo Pikachu Oct 5 2010, 08:27 PM

Yep, I'm cool with that. That would be pretty interesting indeed.

And Larvinator is right, having infection start in the afterlife realms would also put an interesting spin on things.

Posted by: Kaioo Oct 6 2010, 12:53 PM

NES, the thing is, there hasn't been any conflict between the Alliance and Dark Lily since the death of Juno... The Alliance having been gathering troops and equipment for the past 4 years.

However, there would likely be conflict in Sovinto+Muhre, but no significant change thus far... Because we actually never mentioned how time in Sovinto/Muhre acts in contrast to Talandra. 4 years could be minutes in Sovinto/Muhre..

Posted by: Neo Pikachu Oct 6 2010, 03:37 PM

Well, first thing is we haven't really decided on how this all played out. I'll gladly make updates to the maps, but let's first decide on what actually happened. Truthfully, I was thinking of having afterlife infection only just begin to start in this RP, not make it full fledged already.

Also, Kaioo, what you said about no conflict after Juno's death isn't actually true. Considering how much the Dark Lily has swept through the eastern side of the world, it can be assumed there's definitely been conflict. Also, just for consistency, it might be better if Sovinto and Murhe were on the same clock as Talandra.

Posted by: Kaioo Oct 6 2010, 03:49 PM

That is true Neo I presumed there hadn't been significant conflict as in big battles That is true Neo Also, now for my 2 cents. The infecting the after life would be a good idea, but how exactly would it become infected? I would presume- though correct me if I'm wrong- that there would be something in Sovinto making sure everything remains all peaceful, beautiful looking, so on, and something in Muhre making sure nothing changes there either...

Posted by: Cynder Dustypaws Oct 7 2010, 05:59 PM

YAY! I'll post pics of Crysanthemum later. Are we still in Sovinto, or are we out? I will be starting out out of it, considering Crysanthemum was wanting to leave as soon as possible.



Name: Crysanthemum

Gender: Female

Age: 25 (Her birthday will be on the start of the RP on my First post. )

Species: Zepfloreon (Leafeon Advanced EVO. Check DESKRIPTION for appearence. When my scanner starts working, I'll upload a pic. )

Faction: Alliance

Description: Crysanthemum's appearence has changed dramaticly over her evolution upon returning from Sovinto. The Shiny Stone Juno had given her a while back has compleatly turned her into a flying grass type. She is lucky to have been a Leafeon, as now she can venture into Infected area's without being affected. Her tan and brown colouring has faded to pure white. The leaf on her fore-head is still green, but has fallen and is covouring her right eye. Her tail has turned from leaf to paint-brush like, black tipped, wolf tail. Feathery wings have sprouted from her back, and her brown eyes have turned green. She now has red markings and the leaves on her legs have turned into wing-like objects. There is one on each foot, and a very long one on both her shoulders. Her ears have also changed from Leaves, and are now long eevee like ears. http://www.artofokami.com/images/amaterasu/amaterasu_52.jpg


Personality: A kind hearted, forgiving, loving Pokemon. Crysanthemum is very kind, but sad inside. She constantl puts on a smile just to covour up her sadness. Unfortunetly, because of her death, Crysanthemum has a deep hate for Xy, and wants revenge ever so badly. When she is mad, her red markings will glow like an Umbreon's.

Background: Crysanthemum, poor soul, had been terrorized as a yound eevee. Her parents were wonderful, yes, her childhood decent. She has evolved a Leafeon, making her parents very proud of her.. but when she led them into the infected feild, the infection drove them crazy. They commited Suicide, right infront of their helpless child's eyes. Crysanthemum couldn't fathom how she could live... she was now trapped in Synmax, and was in grave danger in this Nightjade territory. In great eagerness, Crysanthemum radio'd to the Zeppelin, a red cross aircraft, and was resqued by it's crew who helped her back to her old workshop.

When Crysanthemum was radio'd into Center-lake, she had gotten into a lot of danger. Her current enemy, Xy, had ripped her plane to shreds, forcing her to fly on her glider. Then she met Juno, a Serachu, who attacked her glider, sending it into a downword spiral to death. Crysanthemum Countered by slicing his wings with her sword titaled http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/9900000/Okami-okami-amaterasu-9961660-434-550.jpg. She was killed upon impact, of course, and went through a strange new adventure.

Once in Sovinto, Crysanthemum met up with her parents who put their souls into her trinket that she wears around her neck. This is made up of a wood carving of an Umbreon, and Espeon, and a Leafeon. Her parent's beings are embedded in the trinket. Upon her escape, Crysanthemum was back into war. She attacked Juno, only for the attacks to be blocked. She went to the Zeppelin, then went back to Juno to help the pact. She herself got him onto her Glider, and they soared off into the current location to pact together.


When battle returned by Xy, Hisoto, and the Dark-lily, Crysanthemum tought Juno how to use the glider and a machene gun. They both went back into battle, as Crysanthemum's jet has been brought back on her revival. She and Juno fought Hisoto and sucsessfully killed him. Then Xy joined the Dark-lily, causing the forces to become the Newlily. Crysanthemum, in a misunderstanding, tryed to protect Juno from attack of the Newlily, and got all of them killed in her stupidity. On her second arriaval to Sovinto, Crysanthemum was shown that JUno didn't trust her any more. Crysanthemum then confessed her love to Juno, thanking him for the evolutionary stone he had given her during war. She now strives to help Juno, and regain his trust. She still hops he will forgive her.


Other: Scroll below. This is the way to Maximus' entry

Name: ( General ) Maximus Decimus Meridius ( Just call him Maximus. I will state his full name on the header, though. )

Gender: Male

Age: 46.... lol he's old.

Species: Arcanine

FactionL Alliance

Description: http://arcanine.turkblog.com/public/blogs/arcanine/2009/05/12/arcanine.jpg
Maximus' colouring is like any other Arcanine. Orange with yellow fire-like fur. His appearence is tiger-like, and very strong. He is Very Muscular, and is able to pull two large boulders. On his right Shoulder lays a tatoo that says "S.P.Q.R.". He stands 9'10" from the shoulders. He weighs about 575.6 lbs. His fur is very soft and bright. I dont know what else to write....

Personality: Maximus is a very calmb, gentle giant. He lacks the ablility to want revenge, and would rather ask questions and make friends, before even coming close to killing poeple. He dislikes war, and beleives that the Factions should put aside their differances and be friends. Oddly enough, However, he does beleive that the NightJade where the ones to cause the infection, but does not hold it against them. He finds it only a way to help them. In a way, he is a bit bitter, and unwilling to trust those who try and kill anyone he has close to his heart. His IQ is about the same as Crysanthemums, being around 500. He happens to like using swords and arrows, and other non electronic devices to attack. His moves that he has learned is: Flamethrower, Overheat, Dig, and Protect.


Background: Maximus, at birth, was told he was ment to be something great. His godmother told his parents that something would happen to change his life... to make him a great pokemon. As time passed on, he was taught the way of the warrior, and the way of a gentle farmer. He got used to tending to crops, or cutting his pawpads trying to sharpen his swords. He practised with his most prized siver/gold ore sword that his Father had gotten for him. All in all, Maxinus' childhood was poor. He learned to be grateful for what he had, which was very little. He learned that not everything was in reach, and that not everyone would help you reach your goal. But one day, being 20, Maximus was tired of being a Growlith. So, as a result, he saved every penny of Poke he got for his work. He would set up his own garden full of berrys and herbal medicine. He helped get the protine or zinc. And over the time of 12, he got enough poke to buy a fire-stone, his lifelong dream. He evolved into a Arcanine the instant his paws touched the stone. He was no longer a Growlithe... he was a mighty Arcanine.
After Getting married to a beautiful arcanine woman, and having their very own pup, a boy, Maximus was called to be a general in war. He faught war after war for 10 more years before he got terrible news. His family had been murdered by his own Faction, Urban Unity. He returned instantly to find them crusified, their rancid rotting bodies hung up for all to see. How, just how, in Arceus' name could he live? After mourning for 4 more years, Maximus moved to Center Lake city which now lay in crumbles, forcing him to move on.


Other: N/A



Thanks. Really excited for this sequal.

If one is Accepted and one is not, tell me.

We could really use some more Dark Lily peeps.

Just let me know when you finish the background on your other character, NES.

I'm Willing to make a Dark-lilly Character.


Just not right now, I'm really busy today.


And cool. thanx for accepting my Charries.

Posted by: The Ghostly Banette Oct 8 2010, 08:34 AM

Sorry i did'nt post in the last RP. I was wondering, can i make a new character? and if so, can i be a Pokabu?

Posted by: Larvinator Oct 8 2010, 08:54 AM

Well, at least Dark Lily has the upper-hand regarding pretty much everything. Hopefully that'll be enough despite our severe shortage of RPers.

I'll post Maeto up later, I'm pretty busy today and tomorrow. When's the RP scheduled to kick off?

Posted by: Neo Pikachu Oct 8 2010, 09:30 AM

That's fine, now's the best time to create a new character. And don't worry about the last RP either.

Pokabu is fine, along with any other B/W Pokemon. There's enough info on Serebii now to put them into action.



I was thinking of starting it up later today.

As for the Dark Lily, yes, they do have the advantage because I was kind of expecting more people to jump on the Alliance side.

Posted by: The Ghostly Banette Oct 8 2010, 09:42 AM

Name: Chaobu
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Species: Chaobu
Faction: Alliance


Description: He looks like a normal Chaobu from the left. However; if you look at his right side, you will see an infection flower. But do not worry, it has been drawn on. He has a Bag on his back, which has gadgets. These gadgets are

a tape recorder, put in a Flower shaped Box. The 'markings' on the flower are actually the, Play, Rewind, Fast Forward, Record, and Stop buttons.

A packet of colouring pencils, with the colours of the shaymin flowers.

A Smoke Bomb, to confuse enemies if they find out who he is.

A picture of his Mother and Father.

A Gun with Ammo.

Personality: When he is in disguise, he is just as 'evil' as people in the Dark Lily. But he is actually really kind and caring. When things go wrong, he panics and you can tell, because he begins to squeal, like a pig. When angry, he snorts like a pig. He loves to eat, so you'll always see him holding food in his hand.

Background: Chaobu was born in Brownrock City, with his mum and dad. But because of the Dark Lily attack, they moved to Kuran. Pokabu wanted to stop the Dark Lily, so he was first in a Squadron of Fire Types an army squad but because of the terror and madness of fighting, he decided to become a spy for the Alliance. He was sent to Snowpoint City; to spy on a Dark Lily member called Gem.

Posted by: Neo Pikachu Oct 8 2010, 01:22 PM

He could, I have no problem with that.

Posted by: The Ghostly Banette Oct 8 2010, 01:41 PM

Yay! ok. Can't wait for RP to start!

Posted by: Nightingale Oct 8 2010, 03:31 PM

Uh... hey~
I wasn't in the first half of this... am I still allowed to join? /: I'll simply assume so...

Name: Sejra Feyin
Gender: Female
Age: 31
Species: Murkrow -> Honchkrow
Faction: Alliance

Description: Sejra looks almost comletely like a normal Honchkrow, but only because she doesn't feel the urge to have another evolution just yet. Her main feathers are the same dark blue as with other honchkrow, albeit a bit darker, while the lower, normally white, layer is still white, but seems to have a slight lightblue shimmer, causing it took look like it is glowing a little. The red feathers on her wings and tailfeathers are even darker than normally and seem to be blood red.
Her beak, claws and eyes are deep golden.
Around her left leg is a silver ring, as is pierced through the hat-like part of her feathers on her head.
Personality: Sejra is a rather sinister and quiet Pokemon. She prefers to keep watch over everything from the air and the darkness, planning her steps carefully. She is a quick and logical thinker, able to think up complexe strategies.
However, she is only like that in battle or crucial situations. If she is among allies, she is quite hotheaded, but also a little mean, enjoying laughing about others suffering from minor difficulties or injuries. Many people tend to think or her as an annoying, mean person, but in reality she is different. If someone is actually hurt, be it physically and psychically, she will notice immediately, and she is also quite concerned about people with problems.
Sejra is very aware of the danger caused by the Dark Lily, and she can't see at all any good point in the infection. She wants to stop them, but she also knows that their chances are bad...
Background: Sejra grew up in an urban city in a quite small, but strong flock of murkrow, of whom which noone could evolve for they had no Dusk Stone. She grew up quite normally, but was always raised to be a thief and criminal overall, albeit not hurting anyone if she could help it. During that time, she was great at what she did, being a master thief in the big city. However, she had a rival at that time, a young Misdreavous. They were both very good, but none of them could outmatch the other. Sejra was quite angry sometimes when the other had outmatched her again, but at the same time she was very intersted in the others talent.
One day, a valuable trasure came to town: A twin pair of dusk stones, connected through a thin bridge, and Sejra immediately decided that this beauty was going to be hers. She planed everything out and infiltrated the building, just when complications started to surface. The guards began their round through the building an hour earlier, and she would have been caught, hadn't the Misdreavous saved her. They discovered that the building was built so wryly, a single thief would never get in, and so they decided to work together. Once, not more.
Eventually, they succeeded in finding the right room in which the twin stones were kept, but the room had a special shield on it, so nobody could remove the stones from the room without alerting the whole building. Not wanting to leave them behind, the two of them decided to se the stones, seeing this was a once in a lifetime chance.
They used the stones, evolving successfully into Honchkrow and Mismagious. They left the building again and fled to a building at the verge of the city, where they spent a little time together, training against each other.
After a few days, they decided they had to do something to keep living, and so they kept on living as thiefes, however now working as a duo, as which they were more successfull than ever.
They continued their lifestyle until the infection began, when they were among the few Pokemon who didn't push the blame on the Nightjade. They were aware that nothing is ever as it seems...
However even when the alliance began, they kept out of the battles as it wasn't their speciality to fight. When the battle turned against the alliance, they however had their doubts, and so decided to join anyway, and that is how they ended up where they are...
Other: Sejra has a close friend, a Mismagious named Rekiar. They hand out together most of the time and completer each other in terms of personality as well as battle style. Recently, she has met a Choroneko who seems to be a good thief... Or will show to be one in the future, if Sejra and Rekiar raise her. Her name is Jeriné.
She uses white armor in battle, but not any weapons yet.

Eh... done~

@ NES2: Virgil’s good to go.

@ The Ghostly Banette: Just let me know when he’s done, I’ll look back at the sign up.

@ Nightingale: Its perfectly fine that you weren’t in the first half, that’s why we started a new RP as a sequel. To get more good RPers like you into it.

And Sejra is good to go.


And guys, the Dark Lily side BADLY needs more people. I don’t want to lock the Alliance side, but I might have no choice if no one joins the Dark Lily side. Anyway, the RP itself should be up in a few minutes.

Holy crap, that's one hell of an advanced evolution...

Posted by: Cynder Dustypaws Oct 9 2010, 11:10 AM

Making two more characters. One on Alliance, and one on Darklily


Name: (commander) Valor

Gender: Female

Age: 46

Species: Zoroark

Faction: Alliance

Description: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/043/7/1/new_pokemon_Zoroark_by_OkamiSasuke.jpg
Valor stands at 2.7m, a little taller than normal Zoroarks. She weighs 100.2kg, and is very fast. She's exactly like any other Zoroark, exept for her hight and weight.

Personality: Valor is a very Smug, brave, and sometimes very... cocky durning battle. She often is found with her smug smile and eery eyes locked on her prey. She happens to enjoy battles and bloodshed, and will often abuse her followers just for tiny things. Has a very LOW patiance, and does not tolerate very much. One thing though, She DOES beleive that the Alliance needs to kill off the Dark-lily, and therefor she has trained herself to controll her anger. Just think of her a increadibly harsh Drill Sargent.


Background: Valor was never as sane as she seems. Hatched as a Zorua, she was instantly sent into war and bloodshed. With her experiance, she never really cared much for it, as she often would stand out in the leftovers of battle and gaze at all the corpses. When she evolved, she was respected and honered, as she had been in many of battles. She was instantly chosen as a Leader amongst the Urban Unity. She herself isn't quite as sane as her appearence suggests. Infact, durning the battle of Center-lake and the Uprise of Dark-lily, She was sitting in her home in Syn City, watching the oceon with her restless eyes. Even after all the bloodied radio calls, She ignored the pleading army.

After one afternoon, she was told that the Alliance had been formed, and instantly set out to find Habira. She stands as a commander, a little lower than Aux. She doesn't quite know it, but her desteny if about to change drasticly.


Other: This next sign-up is for a dark-lily character.

Name: (commander) Gem

Gender: Female (Lol.)

Age: 50

Species: Sableye > Dracoeye. Is a Chosen ( grass type. :0 )

Faction: Darklily

Description: http://th04.deviantart.net/fs35/300W/f/2008/311/c/f/Fake_Sableye_Evo__Opalisk_by_Rijolt.jpg
Gem floats.. at 2 feet exactly. Not such a big pokemon, yes, but very intelligent. Her arms have vines that grow up on them, and her back is covoured with flowers and vines. The gems on her back each have a bit of moss on them. The horns on her head are enveloped in vines and flowers. Her tounge actually has turned green, and looks like a vine itself. She keeps her purple colouring, but has patches of moss here and there.

Personality: Gem is a very sane, smart, and oderly pokemon. What she lacks in hight, she gains in smarts and fighting skills. Her IQ is about 600 and her fighting ability is surprisingly strong. She sees herself as one of the only 'smart' pokemon in the Darklily, and is very stuck-up. She is very easily angered, though she wont show it. Her stuck-up personlity can sometimes get her in very sticky situations.

Background: Gem grew up knowing nothing of battle. Her parents had always protected her from the grousom fights, and often cooped her up in their cave. All she was then was a Sableye. She didn't even imagine she could evolve. One day, at the age of 40, she happened to swollow a dragon scale that has been nestled in a gemstone. Ten years later, she evolved. Everyone in her village rejected her, as they thought she had become part of the Nightjade. She herself was very dismayed and left the Urban-Unity controlled cave. She infected herself and joined the Dark-lily. She is one of the only others who has become a Deeply infected... or 'Chosen'. She herself is proud of her stat, and Is equal in rank to Xy.

Other: Just tell me if one is accepted and one is not and vise-versa.

Sorry they're so short. I've been really tired and busy.

Posted by: Count Bleck Oct 9 2010, 04:38 PM

Name: Dist
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Species: Crisol Absol-> Crisol Dark/Flying Advanced Evolution through exposure to Dusk Stone. Comes from Crisis and Absol. http://th05.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2010/177/a/b/Legen_evo_contest2__Voidem_by_shinyscyther.jpg
Description: With his new Evolution, Dist has become a real force to be reckoned with. He has blueish and white fur all over his body, and near the top his fur grows longer like hair. His Claws are long and fierce, breaking his old Gauntlets when he evolved. He has two huge wings, one blue angelic bird like, the other more bat like and fierce and two miniature wings like the first on both sides.. Strangely, the spikes only grow where the black wings are. He also has a huge bladed horn that reaches back to where his wings are, and small letters are written that no one can translate but Dist. They glow golden when Dist is endangered.

Faction: Alliance
Personality: Distant and serious, Dist likes to go straight to the point. This makes him look rude from a distance, but that is usually because of his current situation. If you do go up to talk to him however, he will slowly but surely open up to you. He keeps his friends close, and if it came to save himself or his friends, he would choose friends. He shows no mercy towards his foes and is always up for a challenge.

Background: Dist was born and raised in Vora, a seaside city in which he lived with his best friend Leo. Dist and Leo were Childhood friends, and often hung out together after school and battled constantly. During the first couple years of his life, Dist was fascinated by the technology that was available in the Urban Unity, while Leo was more into Nature and the Nightjade. "Someday, if i were to go to Nightjade, I would want to be a grass Type." Leo said one day. Dist however, said that would be fools errand, and started a small rivalry between them.Thats when the event happened.

While Leo was on a trip to Centrael, the town was over run with flowers. Dist became throughly worried, hoping that he was okay. One day, Leo did return, but he was very different. his fur was grassy green, his arrow Dirty brown. and his tail was made of leaves, like a leafeon. On the arrow on his head grew a small green flower. Leo was infected. While Dist avoided him at first, although They still kept in touch. Finally, after a year of avoiding, Dist finally met up with Leo. Leo's flower was Orange now, brimming in the sun as the two friends finally met. Leo told him about how he was coping with the incident and his constant need for water. Surprisingly, Leo loved this transformation, except for being outcast from everywhere else. But only one thing truly disturbed him: the Shadowlily. "They use there powers to spread the infection further"Leo said."They are evil, demented group. that have to be stopped." And so Dist looks for a way to Stop the true threat, the Shadow Lily, and Cure The involuntary pokemon.

5 years ago in the battle of Central Lake, a surprise invasion of the dark lily had changed the course of battle and spread flowers throughout the city. Dist, easily surrounded and out matched, he prepared himself for death. Then Leo came in followed by what seemed to be a Dark Aereodactyl chasing him. Dist yelled for Leo to look out, but to his surprise, they both attacked the surrounding Dark lily. before he could ask questions, the Aereodacytl told them to run. Dist didn't need to be told twice. He and Leo left , Dist almost being infected. The Aerodactyl evo followed them, only to be nearly attacked by Dist. Leo Held him back and explained everything to Dist. The Alliance, the Newjade, the Dark Lilies' rise to huge power, everything. Dist took a moment to swallow all of this and made a decision: He would get stronger.

Over the years he's been training fiercely with Leo and traveling all over to hunt down the Dark Lily. 3 years ago he found a Dusk stone on one of the Dark Lily, which he took for himself. Over the year of exposure made him stronger until one year ago, on an eclipse, Dist transformed. Wings sprouted from his back. A Giant blade grew from his head. His fur grew longer and darker. He was no longer an Absol. He was a Crisol.

Recently, he been having bad dreams, which is always bad. for any Absol family member. He saw the world collapsing, pokemon crying, and A Giant flower bursting from the earth. Dist knew That something was going to happen . something bad. So with Leo on his back, he set off to the skies. The time had come to act. To join the main force. It was time to strike.

Other:Dist has some knowledge in creating weapons and small technological stuff and weaponry, but rarely uses it for obvious purposes.

Name: Leo
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Species: Infected Linoone
Description:
Being infected makes him different from everyone else, obviously.His fur is green as grass and his arrow turned to the color of Rich soil.On top of his head is a small flower that changes color with emotions
Personality: Unlike his friend, Leo is the carefree addition to the duo. true to his species's nature, he is curious and eager to explore. He smile often and loves jokes, and , on occasions, plays pranks.(Not on Dist.)apparently, even in a fight, he can'take things seriously.

Background:Dist was born and raised in Vora, a seaside city in which he lived with his best friend Leo. Dist and Leo were Childhood friends, and often hung out together after school and battled constantly. During the first couple years of his life, Dist was fascinated by the technology that was available in the Urban Unity, while Leo was more into Nature and the Nightjade. "Someday, if i were to go to Nightjade, I would want to be a grass Type." Leo said one day. Dist however, said that would be fools errand, and started a small rivalry between them.Thats when the event happened.

While Leo was on a trip to Centrael, the town was over run with flowers. As soon as the city was over come, all technology there was halted. so Leo started home on his own, to get away from the infection. However, a small seed fell into his fur....

One day, Leo did return, but he was very different. his fur was grassy green, his arrow Dirty brown. and his tail was made of leaves, like a leafeon. On the arrow on his head grew a small green flower. Leo was infected.Dist refused to to meet Leo directly for a year before he finally convinced Dist otherwise. In that time he learned to use his new and unnatural(or natural) power. He also realized that the flower on changed with his emotions, and affect, his power in a way he could not yet figure out. Leo told him about how he was coping with the incident and his constant need for water. Surprisingly, Leo loved this transformation, except for being outcast from everywhere else. But only one thing truly disturbed him: the Shadowlily. "They use there powers to spread the infection further"Leo said."They are evil, demented group. that have to be stopped." And so Dist and Leo looks for a way to Stop the true threat, the Shadow Lily, and Cure The involuntary pokemon.

In the Battle for Central Lake city, Leo met a NightJade evolved Aerodactyl who had helped him later find Dist. This Aerodactyl what exactly transpired in the last 24 hours. Still not exactly forgiving the Nightjade compleletly, The Aereo dactyl finally convinced him otherwise. With his help, Leo was able to find Dist just in time. They escaped, and Leo told Dist what had happened. Leo noticed a change in Dist that day. It was like the fire to a candle. It was resolve.

Leo trained with Dist for 5 years, even through his evolutions, which is even unvolunarily lethan. He also hellped Dist on his missions fighting Dark lily and Destroying the flowers. Rently, Dist made a desicion to join the main force, and Leo was not one to quit. He would fight by Dist side to the end. But he had to wonder. Would the army even allow himself to fight? Nonetheless, he had to try. So he held on tight to Dist, his vines making a belt as they flew off to find Alaxander...

Other: Whenever Dist goes into a city or meets a pokemon, Leo quickly dives underground, leaving his emotion color changing flower above the ground. Leo has knowledge for Herbs and plants. His powers have also grown, able to unleash powerful attacks with ease.

Two questions...

1. Can I reserve a spot?

2. How many characters can we have?

Posted by: Kaioo Oct 9 2010, 06:21 PM

1) Yes reservations are possible.

2) Well, as many as you can handle... but yeah, don't want to push yourself too much.

Posted by: Nightingale Oct 10 2010, 12:05 PM

Okay... since the Dark Lily desperately needs members, I'm going to make one...

Name: Raion
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Species: Infected Wargle http://serebii.net/pokedex-bw/628.shtml , but infected
Faction: Dark Lily

Description: Raion, just like any other infected, has green colors instead of his normal ones, and grass and flowers sprouting all over his body. In his case, his main feathers, which are normally dark red, are now a deep, dark forest green, however seem to shine silghtly lighter and golden in sunlight. The feathers on his belly and feet are still dark grey, but now even darker as to accompanie his back feathers.
His tail feathers, which normally end in yellow and blue, now end in two other colors, white and a dark blue, and his claws are now colored white, too, instead of black, just like his beak which has shifted to the new color from its old yellow.
The patch just above his beak, which was previously colored marine blue is now the same midnight blue as his tail feathers, and the crown-like feathers abover his eyes are now the same dark green as the feathers on his back, wile his eyes now burn with a deep crimson red, making him seem mad and out of control, even though he really isn't.
The only part of him which has really become a plant are the spiky feathers sprouting from his neck. They are not anymore feathers now, but instead a grass-like blotch of plant, shimmering in a light green. In spring and summer, small blue flowers seem to grow from it. The feathers just in front of them (the white spikes in the original) have transformed into deep emerald leaves.
Personality: Raion, being in a high ranking position in the Dark Lily Military even though he isn't a chosen, needs a lot of guts to make his will known, which he has. He states his opinion every time he has something to say on the topic, and is not quick to budge from his believes, and will also not back down from a Pokemon possibly stronger than him if he believes he is right - which he does a lot. Also, in addition to his almost unbreakable will, he often acts like a bastard, respectful to the ones in higher positions but standing his ground, while he is almost rude, demanding and very hard to please to Pokemon inferior to him in ranks or power. His subordinates he treats harshly, expecting each of them to be at their best whenever he needs them to be, but the only ones he has yet fully approved of are two other Pokemon which will accompany him often: His second in command, an infected Aakeosu named Ancient, and a trusted member of his squad, an infected Shinpora named Neri. Those two he treats just as bastard as everyone else, but maybe a little nicer.
Being the leader of the Dark Lilys main air force squad, he holds a lot of responsibilty, expecially since he works directly below the lily's chosen. He respects them a lot, but also takes great pride in having come this far being only a normal infected.
He views the Shaymin infection not exactely as a blessing, but does not think of it as bad either, more as inevitable, and can't see sense in resisting it. He wants the other side to finally surrender to them.
Background: Raion was born in a free flock of Wargles and Barujina who half heartedly belonged to the Nightjade, not particularely liking tecnology, but also not being mad if one of them chose to leave and live his live in an urban city either. Here, he was among a group of them who really wanted to lean how to fly and ifght as soon as possible, and thus were trained from a young age by the older ones of the group.
However, at a time the infections began. Raion was among the first few to be infected, and even though the flock did not push him, and would have accepted him , he decided to leave on his own, not wanting to endanger the others as he did not know how dangerous this infection really was. When the Dark Lily formed, he was among the first members of it, however not as urgent to bring the 'blessing' upon the rest of the Pokemon, and he rather stayed in the background. Later, when the battles got harder and more violent, he finally decided that this had to end, and as he did not see any other way for it, we decided to do his best so the Lily would win this war so peace would return soon enough. However, he did not want to get to much into the fighting emotionally, and so decided to hide his emotions away, resulting in his bastard behaviour.
So in the last few years, he has worked his way up into the high rankes, now being the commander over the main air force squad of the Lily...
Other: Raion does not use particularely many weapons, but instead armor covering his back, head and bella, as well as long spikes in his wings and tail feathers and guns attached to his feet to attack from above. Close friends of his who will most likely be with him most of the time are Neri, an infected Shinpora and Ancient, his second in command, an infected Aakeosu.

OOHH! Ok. Lemme edit that.

Posted by: ShuppetMaster371 Oct 10 2010, 06:30 PM

Name: Eclipse
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Species: Infected Umbreon
Faction: Alliance
Description: (Working on picture) Eclipse is currently a green umbreon with pink rings. She has a flower by her right ear and back leg. Unlike other Umbreons, she has blue eyes. She also wears a pink necklace.
Personality: Eclipse is a child at heart and is always curious about how things work. She enjoys tinkering around with things by taking things apart and putting them together again. Whenever she sees something new, she likes to observe and play around with it. Eclipse is also the best in her class. She is very brave, kind, and can do anything she puts her mind to. She is not afraid to give her opinion. She is usually calm and open-minded, but you're in trouble if she gets mad.
Background: Eclipse has always wanted to be a designer. When she was really little, she'd always make paintings and come up with tons of new ideas. Whenever she had the chance, she'd go to the store and pick up materials for her own inventions. The place you'd most likely see her back then was in her room working with different materials or exploring. She has been spending most of her time seeing how things work and how to make them better. She has currently been going to two different schools for years; one involving the arts and the other, of course, technology. She is in advanced classes and will be skipping a few grades. (She's in 8th grade) She has been known to carry around a sketchbook and pen at all times. She is also given the nickname "Penny" because of her love of designing.
Other: Eclipse is a friend of Midnight.

Name: Midnight
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Species: Wralia -> Ghost/Psychic Advance Evolution of Kirlia. Reaper Cloth.
Faction: Dark Lily
Description: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs22/f/2008/016/e/a/Fakemon_006___Bansheet_by_soy_monk.jpg Credit goes to soy monk on Devianart.

Midnight is a bit smaller than Gardevoir, put that doesn't really matter when it comes to her power. She doesn't really weigh a thing either, considering she's a ghost. A dark mist appears coming from her when on the battle field, mainly to scare enemies. Her bandages are neatly wrapped on her head as well. Sometimes, only to people she trusts, she reveals her "True Form" which is a gold, Gardevoir-like ghost. The only difference is longer hair, dress, and sleeves, silve bracelets on her armd, and transparent angel wings. Of course, Eclipse was the only one who's ever seen it.

Personality: Midnight is always doing what she wants and is not afraid to speak her mind. She really doesn't care what others think. She's also gifted in many things. Midnight is a natural leader.

Midnight is a little dark because of her past, loyal, and brave. When she wants to, she can be the kindest most selfless person you've met, but it's rarer now that she's in Dark Lily. She used to do anything for a friend or someone she trusted. She is now the exact opposite. She never smiles anymore. She rarely ever shows emotion. Only those close to her see her true personality. She isn't cold or heartless, but wise and understanding. Of course, no one would know.

Midnight is very strong in many ways, that's why she's high ranked in Dark Lily. On a battle field, she can be strong and level-headed. She never gives up on anything.

Although she doesn't show it, she's confused about being in the Dark Lily and confused about the infection. She isn't sure what to believe. She knows that her side treats it as a gift, but others treat it as an infection. Once, she was asked if she wanted to be Chosen, but she told them that there were others who deserved it more than her. She's sort of scared of being infected. She secretly questions even being in the Dark Lily.
Background: Midnight was born in a small village near a forest.

When she was little, she'd move around different areas. No where was really her home. One day, she met Eclipse in one of the citys in Victakan. She doesn't remember where. The two became fast friends, but were split apart. You see, at the time Eclipse was with Urban Unity and Midnight was with Nightjade, but that didn't stop them. They'd always meet a little ways off from the city Eclipse lived in. There, they'd play and explore all day and night. Once in a wihile, they'd even camp out. During then, Midnight was a Kirlia full of joy and compassion.

One day, Midnight found a Reaper Cloth in the forest. She always found dark stuff somewhat comforting, even though she enjoyed other things as well, so she decided to keep it. A year after finding it, and almost 6 months before the Shaymin Flowers, Midnight evolved. However, this didn't change anything, much. Eclipse and Midnight still hung out. She had never been aloud in the city, but now, she could easily sneak in. This new evolution also caused her stats to grow.

When the Shaymin Flowers arrived, Eclipse and Midnight went their seperate ways. Each thought the other was gone.

Midnight eventually became part of Dark Lily, and quickly grew in the ranks.
Other: She thinks her friend is dead. That's one of the many reasons she's even in the Dark Lily faction.

Alright, just do the Description for Midnight when you get a chance, and just let me know when its done.

Name: Miles
Gender: Male
Age: 31
Species: Floatzel
Faction: Dark Lily

Description: Like a normal Floatzel, Mile stands 3’8” from the ground. His fur has been turned to a pastel green and jade color, and various leaves and flowers are on his back, including a massive red and purple colored lily flower that Miles calls “ridiculous” and another large blue and purple lily growing out from behind his head that Miles calls “that freaking sombrero.”

In terms of attributes, Miles is perceptive and smart, but he uses all of these traits for the wrong reasons. He may also not be the strongest Pokémon out there, but he can throw a mean punch when he knows the only way to get words through to people is to slap them into their thick skulls.

If such a thing as luck exists, Miles is bone-dry of it. Miles actually prepares for things to go wrong ahead of time, knowing that’s pretty much how they’ll turn out one way or another. He’s a firm believer in Murphy’s Law, and he feels that if someone can’t afford for something to go wrong, then hell, they shouldn’t be doing it. And as a result from his lack of luck, Miles would stomp on a four leaf clover while laughing, throw a rabbit’s foot out the window like a cigarette, and tie a horseshoe around someone’s neck as a cute bowtie.

Personality: Humorously pessimistic and sarcastic, Miles may not get the best treatment from Lady Luck, but he at least knows how to spit back in her face. It doesn’t take very much to piss Miles off, and when it does, he lets everyone around him know about it, often going into a totally overblown rant that some Pokémon may find hilarious while others will find it annoying. Regardless, Miles makes sure he makes himself heard. Miles doesn’t believe in karma, but if he did, he would conclude that someone up there felt he must be the meanest bastard alive, and he knows that’s not true.

When it comes to the Dark Lily campaign, Miles often takes a “whatever” kind of personality. As his history goes, Miles was once an Urban Unity Pokémon working in a city that was overrun by the Dark Lily, and then later infected to be then forced to convert to the Dark Lily’s campaign. Miles, not really wanting to deny the whole reality of the situation, felt there really wasn’t a damn thing any Pokémon could do to try and stop the infection. He had seen what Green Magic had created, what it was capable of, and in the end, he pretty much felt the Dark Lily had this fight in the bag. Regardless, he’s just facing the reality of the situation, even if it means the entire world and all its Pokémon are the equivalent of a flowerpot. But, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, right?

Miles isn’t without his qualities though. He doesn’t take credit for anything (probably because its rare that he has something to attribute for), which is really the only conclusion that the Dark Lily felt he would make a great commander… and perhaps because they needed more in a hurry and no one else wanted the job. He still doesn’t understand the exact reasons as to how that happened, but regardless, Miles feels it probably would be better to just “get this over with” and cover the last acre of land with flora, and there are times when Miles feels his hasty nature is what the Dark Lily admires most. What happens after that, Miles doesn’t really know, but he figures somewhere along the line, someone is probably bound to whine that the flowers in one area aren’t pretty enough and need to be redone, and someone else is going to whine that the flowers in another area should be a different kind or color.

In essence, Miles has ambition, but its really only to get things over with and out of his face with no concern as to how well it was actually done.

Background: Miles grew up as a young and energetic Buizel in Minacen who loved sports, games, and hide and seek. But he was a loser when it came to how well he actually did in them. After a while, other Pokémon just didn’t want him around, calling him a jinx.

Once he realized sports weren’t his forte, he tried competitive battling, and Miles, having been born under a black hole of disaster as opposed to a lucky star, always ended up fighting some “bloody damned” electric or grass type every single time.

As a result, Miles came to learn to be extremely impatient and always laughed his ass off when someone wished him “good luck.” From his impatience, if a conversation took more than fifteen minutes, he just got up and left. If planning and direction took more than fifteen minutes, he just got up and left. If a song took more than four minutes, he shut it off midway. In the end, he felt if someone couldn’t just get to the bloody point right away, it probably wasn’t worth listening to their yapping.

Miles got a job as a demolitions specialist, realizing that if he couldn’t actually get a job trying to create something because of his awful luck, he could at least shoot for trying to get a job where he destroyed something instead. And Miles was exceptional at destroying things on the job. If there was an old building that needed to be torn down, there were some Pokémon that could testify the structure looked ready to collapse just by Miles’s presence, leading them to wonder if he was jinxed many times over.

Several years later, Miles actually evolved into a Floatzel from all the practice he got from smashing glass, hurling rocks, and wrecking landscaping, even though that was not one of his job responsibilities. However, his career started to go south when the Nightjade Pokémon and the Urban Unity Pokémon got into war, and the whole Shaymin infection crisis broke out. As luck would have it, the war was destroying architecture left and right, and Miles began to believe he would lose the only job that was actually right for him. And then, the Dark Lily attacked Minacen, and essentially turned Miles into a walking flower bouquet.

And Miles hated it.

It took time for the Dark Lily to “condition” Miles to become one of them, but Miles didn’t have the patience of being held up by vines all day and night, so he decided compliance with the Dark Lily’s demands would be the fasted route to just “get it all over with.” Besides, from what he could tell, the Dark Lily was on a mean winning streak, and the Alliance was clueless when it came to trying to cure the infection and reverse the growth of the Shaymin flowers.

After serving some time in the Dark Lily, Miles was allowed to learn Green Magic, and using it to demolish buildings was actually one thing he was good at. And Miles got to thinking maybe there was hope for him yet! Spreading the flowers wasn’t actually hard at all, even though Miles didn’t honestly believe in a lot of the “spreading the lovely flowers around to beautify the entire world” mumbo jumbo that a lot of the other Dark Lily members truly believed in. To him, flowers are flowers, when it came to how pretty they were, his giveadamner was broken.

Now, after a bizarre twist of fate, Miles finds himself as a commander of the Dark Lily forces, probably for his hasty nature, his ability to destroy buildings, and/or the fact he never really takes credit for much simply because… its nothing he’s not used to. In truth, he’s hoping the Alliance Pokémon just make this easy on themselves, and just give in. He understands why they wouldn’t want to become walking flower bouquets, but then again…

…this is all coming from a guy who never gets what he wants…

I never was able to get time to get in on the original RP, so I have a question. How's people joining in now gonna work? Most 'mon are older than 5 old (AKA not newborns), so in theory everybody who wasn't in the RP as a player had to exist as an NPC. Considering NPCs generally live and die as players dictate based on need, what justifies a character to be able to survive the whole conflict 5 years ago if they HAD to exist at the time as an NPC, given how fragile NPCs are compared to player characters? Just wondering.

Also, I'd like to try to reserve this time and actually make time to participate. Please reserve me that last or semi-last Alliance spot, because I just don't wanna start infected. And just in case by the time I'm done so there's no conflict, I'll say the species now: Akoniken, Advanced Evolution of Combusken which is Fire/Dark.

You did say about to be locked and not locked, so it's still ok right?

Posted by: Neo Pikachu Oct 11 2010, 08:08 AM

You make it sound like every last NPC should be dead...

I don't know where this theory came up, but its wrong. Yes, its assumed that new characters in this RP did exist as NPCs in the last one. That doesn't mean they're suddenly weaker than a twig.



Well, alright.

And with that last post in Viral Outbreak, I move the SUs to here ^^

-Name: Landon Denathos

-Gender: Male

-Age: 24

-Species: Pikachu

-Faction: Alliance

-Description:
Picture credit goes to Sugimori, with slight edits on his eye, cheeks, and headfur by yours truly.

Landon seems to be your typical Pikachu at first glance from afar, but if one gets closer, his more distinguishing features become more noticeable. He was still a young Pikachu, so his muzzle held that distinctly youthful look to it. He was very active, even for those amongst the Nightjade, so his body was fit, sleeker than most other Pikachu around.

The fur on top of Landon's head is spiked slightly, but this is natural; he doesn't use gel, or anything like the stuff that may be found often in the homes of Pokémon in the Urban Unity. The electric sacs on his cheeks are not red like most Pikachu, but rather they are as black as his eyes. These are of little importance, as they denote little. On his back, he carried a spear just longer than himself at a diagonal angle, allowing for ease of wielding as well as comfort when keeping his weapon holstered. Around his neck on a thin, but strong piece of string is a Dragon Scale, a memento of his fallen mother. And during free moments, a golden band could be seen on one of his pawfingers.

The most distinguishing feature about him is that he has a cross-shaped scar on his left eye, rendering it useless and sealing it shut. This he sustained at an early age. It hasn't even in the slightest faded back into his skin and fur. It's unmistakably visible. However, rather than fade into a dim, hazy look of depression, his remaining eye is as bright as ever, and possibly even more so, as if trying to do enough for two eyes alone.

-Personality: Always optimistic, he always has a smile on his face, unless the situation turns really serious. His happy mood often rubs off on others around him, so it's hard to stay mad at or near Landon at all. Most who meet and stay around him become fast friends, because of how likeable he is. Because he's always smiling, other Pokémon tried to intimidate him, but found this to be impossible.

Despite his laughing nature, he can be serious behind it all. He never gives up, and refuses to give in to the ones who antagonize any from the Nightjade, or in fact any others. He has underlying reasons for this, but he doesn't bother others with his history unless they blatantly ask. He shows no fear, even when faced with unimaginable odds, and will fight for what he believes in to the very end.

Landon hasn’t had as much experience with leadership as some of his equals, having become one of the Commanders, and also the youngest Commander, after his reawakening five years prior, but his pure indomitable will and lack of fear has made him a sort of role model for those under him. Landon doesn’t view himself as one deserving to be an example or a leader, but if it helps his comrades, he would happily put himself in the front. When it comes to those that he feels shows true examples of leadership and strength, he is respectful to the utmost he can be.

Even though he was born in the countries of the Urban Unity, Landon has no real knowledge of their society since he came overseas when he was still days old, so their ideals and habits aren’t a part he was born with. He is Nightjade through and through, and he loves the more nature-centered life. The Urban Unity used to truly confound Landon, because he found the Pokémon across the sea becoming lazier, fatter, and more sedentary the more they rely on technology to solve all their problems, major and minor. After the Alliance, however, he got to know those from the Urban Unity more closely, and he realized that, even with the machines, these people were just as hard working, just as alive, and just as passionate about their way of life as he was his own. With the Alliance, he came to truly understand and appreciate the Urban Unity. And even though he still preferred to use his spear in battle, he does have knowledge and training in using weapons correctly sized for a Pikachu like himself.

There are many that Landon knows by name, but few that he considers close friends. Of these close friends, none are any closer to him, save for two. One is obvious, since Zhunjai, the pretty Sandshrew maiden, is his wife, and is almost always seen at his side. The other one might take some observation to really see, but Landon has become rather attached to Juno the Serachu as well, having come to think of him as the older brother he never had, always admiring and respecting him as much as possible. If anyone mentions Juno around him, a fiery passion could be seen in his eyes, a constant desire to avenge his death and make him proud from the afterlife.

If the situation becomes dire, and something happens that would be hell to another, he'll instantly switch from the happy-go-lucky joker to a death machine that knows one emotion: anger. Few have seen it. None have lived through it.

-Background: Landon wasn’t born in any of the Nightjade countries. His parents, a proud Raichu named Shirazon and a beautiful Pikachu named Sorai, lived in the Urban Unity, but they weren’t very happy there. Their families had been living in and around Yantacan for many generations, so that was the reason that they had been living there, but the hustle and bustle of society really didn’t strike well with the chords of their beings. They lived out in nature, out where things were quieter, peaceful, and without the distractions and offensive things found in the booming urban cities. When Landon was born in the mountains, the sight of black circles on his cheeks in place of red greatly worried them, afraid their firstborn son might be deathly ill. After a lot of thought, his parents knew that he could not be raised well in a place like this.

They had to go to the Nightjade.

For a month, Shirazon worked endlessly on a boat to transport the family across the sea; his former profession as a fishermon [A/N: Yeah, can’t call him a fisherMAN, so get over the tacky, cliché name slapped on the end :P] helped considerably with this endeavor. It took a lot of time, sweat, and blood, but in the dead of night a month after Landon’s birth, the small family finally departed from the Urban Unity, hopefully forever. Shirazon and Sorai could not be more excited from all the wonderful stories they’d heard about the Nightjade.

Originally, the plan had been to go to the continent of Kanat where the Frostfist mountains were, due to their desire to live in a beautiful mountainous region, but things don’t always go as planned, especially not for ones as huge as this one. The boat was tossed and beat around by the seas, but they eventually made it to the continent of Synamax, a northern hurricane having driven them far to the south. Somewhat disappointed at first, the ‘chus got over it quickly when they realized they were in a country of Pokémon who thought a little more on their level, and one booming with the beauty of nature rather than the stellar, overglamorized metropolises where they had come from. Finally, they could start to feel more comfortable, like they had come home.

When they arrived near a place called Brachta Beach, they were tired, looking around for a place that they could stay, but the search turned up fruitless for a time, until they met a Sandslash couple that had seen them from their farm in Doma’esk. Despite being offered a place to stay in their home, the ‘chu family refused to their desire to not impose on anyone else. So, the Sandslash family helped them find a nearby cave, which they decided would be their home as soon as they looked inside. Years pass slowly, and Landon’s upbringing as a Pichu reveal that not only were the black circles on his cheeks not a sign of a deadly illness, but that he was quite healthy and full of more energy than they had expected even from a Pichu. Despite Sorai’s initial desire to care for him as best she could to keep any weakness from getting the better of him, it was quickly apparent that he didn't need her help very often even from infancy, as he was much stronger than any Pichu the small family had encountered before. He would help his father lift heavy rocks out of their way, he'd battle assailants often, and even climb high cliffs in an effort to make himself stronger for his mother. Landon was a very speedy Pichu; able to run faster than his parents from the moment he started walking.

Unlike back in the Urban Unity, Landon’s family interacted with the Nightjade Pokémon on a daily basis, even when they lived off by themselves away from any towns or communities. One of these Pokémon, a Wartortle named Trais, became a fast friend with the family, moving out to stay nearby to them soon after meeting Shirazon and Sorai. While his parents found a dear friend in Trais, Landon’s attention was captured by someone else, a Sandshrew girl from Doma’esk named Zhunjai, who was also the daughter of the Sandslash couple that helped his family when they arrived in Synamax. The moment he saw her pretty blue eyes, he felt himself pulled to her as if by gravity, and within the hour the two were talking as if they’d merely been long-lost friends who’d found one another again.

Every single day after that, Landon made sure to go see Zhunjai, to talk, to play, to do anything and everything with her that he could; she was his only real companion, something that his parents were happy for. It was during one of these times with Zhunjai that Landon actually evolved into a Pikachu, showing how very happy he was with his friend, and Zhunjai admitted she really liked being with him as much. The two were inseparable. When the unthinkable happened, and Zhunjai lost her parents, Landon was there by her side, her paw in his and her head on his shoulder, the young Pikachu showing her comfort and companionship he knew she needed. Even when he could not understand just how awful she felt, he had an idea, based on his understanding of her feelings. Zhunjai’s sorrow didn’t stay very long, and she thanked Landon every day for being there for him. Landon was happy he could make Zhunjai happy even when she had lost her whole family.

Unfortunately for the close-knit group, more tragedy was fast approaching…

The unfortunate truth of the world is that no matter how far you go, no matter how many different people one sees, there will always be those who wish to cause harm to others. A rather large group of vicious Pokémon had come across the caves that Landon’s family lived in, and decided they wanted the area for themselves, demanding that all those living there had better leave immediately (even without packing away anything) or face harsh consequences. Being rather stubborn, Shirazon, Sorai, Landon, and Trais refused to move away from the place they spent their entire lives making as perfect as it was. And so a large battle began. Pursued into a dead-end, Shirazon and Trais displayed their prowess in battle by defeating many of their assailants, knocking all unconscious if they could help it. Unfortunately, this became harder and harder to do, until lives had to be taken…and soon, to the young Pikachu’s horror, Shirazon and Trais were two of them, thanks to a Charmeleon, a Scizor, and a Marowak. Landon and Sorai, who had been hiding before, attacked the Charmeleon relentlessly, not able to bring themselves to kill, but they beat him within an inch of his life. It was here the Marowak decided to step in, utilizing a specially-sharpened Bonemerang. With deadly aim at the charging mother and son, he let loose his instrument of death.

Sorai never had a chance.

When the Bonemerang made contact with Sorai, it cut her head clean off, causing her body to collapse mid-rush at the Leader. Landon was the lucky one of the day. After cutting through Sorai's neck, its course altered just enough so that he had enough time to duck...at least, to survive. The deadly blade cut across his left eye, destroying what use it might've had. Staggering with blood pouring down his face, he was not prepared for the Bonemerang's return trip. It cut his left eye again, exactly 90 degrees angle turn from the last cut.

He collapsed, screaming in physical pain and mental agony; he had lost his parents, and now he, too, was dying…it was an awful reality. Thinking the battle was won, the Scizor leader walked close to finish off the little Pikachu. However, the anger Landon felt erupted out of him in the form of his Thunder, instantly frying the Scizor to a husk, and killing any other nearby, unconscious survivors instantly. The Marowak was stunned by this, and therefore had no time to get away from Landon's awesome Quick Attack. Landon covered his right arm in a huge electric current and rushed at his opponent, running the Marowak through with a single strike. Landon collapsed on the bloody mass in his complete exhaustion. Breathing hard, Landon’s mind took the toll of the idea of having killed those who had killed his parents and a very close friend, what little sanity he had shattering instantly. Unfortunately for the Pikachu, lying on a dead body and dying from loss of blood, there were still quite a few assailants left who were still well enough to kill him for what he’d done to their teammates. Closing his one good eye and crying, Landon prepared to join his parents in the last few painful moments of his life…

And then a miracle happened. Someone had arrived and had started fighting the assailants off and away from Landon, the aggressive group standing no chance against whoever it was. Struggling to stay alive, Landon, stares into the sky, his vision blurring. The last thing he remembered seeing was the head of an odd-looking Pikachu with white fur instead of yellow, with his words ringing quietly in his ears: “Hang on…!”
For days the Pikachu was unconscious, before waking up in a very familiar house, that of his best friend, Zhunjai. The Sandshrew leapt up as he sat up in bed suddenly, obviously very awake, and she clung to him in relief and sadness. The two grieved together before he asked how he came to be there at her home, and she then revealed that the two weren’t alone. Standing in the room was an interesting creature, what looked like a Pikachu with white fur…no, feathers, ears shaped like wings, wing-like protrusions coming from back of his legs, and two glorious wings on his back.

The visitor, Zhunjai explained, was a Pikachu that had evolved into a new type of Pokémon through prolonged exposure to a Shiny Stone, called a Serachu. The Serachu approached Landon and greeted him, introducing himself as Juno. He had heard the battle some ways away and came to intervene, but he knew he was only just in time to save Landon in the waning moments of his life. He had carried Landon to the nearest village and asked for a medical expert, but the closest thing there was Zhunjai and her decent knowledge of herbs and remedies for injuries. He had also gone back and recovered his mother’s Dragon Scale Amulet from the battlefield, having thought that maybe Landon might appreciate having something his late mother had. Landon could not be more astounded or grateful to the Serachu, taking the Dragon Scale amulet and putting it around his neck immediately.

From that point on, Landon admired and thanked Juno endlessly for saving his life, becoming rather fond of him quickly. He was also eternally grateful for Zhunjai working to save his life as well. Without either of them, he knew he would be dead…and even though he missed his parents greatly, the two of them had given him a new lease on life, and he was going to live it and repay them with every second he could.

Soon after Landon awoke, Juno left, leaving him alone with Zhunjai while he recovered. It didn’t take him too long to recover from his injuries, and once he had, he set out to go find Juno, along with Zhunjai, who had openly admitted while he was recovering to being very fond of Landon. The two travelled together, even more inseparable than they were before, and it didn’t take them long to find Juno, where they began tagging along with him.

The growing hostilities between the Urban Unity and the Nightjade had worried Landon even before the Shaymin Flower Infection, and once it had grown into full-blown conflict, Landon knew he wanted to fight to stop this senseless violence and protect those he had come to know and love. He had already made himself fit and strong, but he trained alongside Zhunjai, learning skills that could help save lives and end battles with a minimum of lives lost on either side. While Zhunjai’s skills focused mostly on medicinal healing, and a staff with which to protect herself, Landon instead trained his own natural abilities to the greatest potential he could before maintaining them and adding in the discipline of handling a bladed spear in combat.

He hasn’t had as many years of training and experience as so many others in the Nightjade, but his personal courage and desire to protect more than made up for any lack of skill he may have. Sticking with his beloved Zhunjai, and staying close to his “big brother” Juno, Landon was ready, able, and willing with every fiber of his being to fight for his beliefs, and to protect all he knows, in and out of the hell of war.

The fights raged against the Urban Unity, and Landon had been ready, but in one certain battle that had taken place in Center Lake City, Landon took a rather lethal hit in his side. He ignored it and carried Zhunjai to safety so she could fix her own wound before his, but he had lost too much blood, and lost consciousness. He drifted into a coma soon afterwards.

The next time Landon awoke, it was too weeks later, and the whole world had gone to a flowery hell. The worst news he heard was that of Juno’s death, something that he had once thought impossible. It shook him to his very core. But after finding out that an entire brigade’s worth of soldiers from both the Urban Unity and Nightjade had stayed with him the entire time he had been unconscious, wanting to look to him for guidance and leadership after they had seen him in battle, he knew that he couldn’t allow himself to wallow in guilt and sadness. Looking to the memory of his “Brother” for guidance, Landon vowed to become a Commander worthy of his memory. As homage to the former Commander, Landon suggested that the Brigade name themselves “Juno’s Spear.”

With their Commander awake, the Brigade of Pokémon moved towards where they thought a great base of operations would be, an old abandoned fort high up in the Frostfist Mountains (ironically the place Landon’s family had meant to go many years before), and with a few months of cleaning it and re-fortifying it, the fort was a place to be reckoned with, able to survive the harshest of sieges. It was agreed, based on the story of a hero long passed, that it would be called Fort Gremio. Once the fort had been completed, Landon focused their efforts on returning the world back to the way it was once before the Dark Lily moved across the land.

When the leaders of Nightjade learned of Landon’s survival and his efforts in creating a new Fort, and in the growing struggle against the Dark Lily, it was a rather quick decision to make Landon one of the youngest Commanders in Nightjade history, giving him the proper authority so desperately needed in this time of hardship. They knew Landon’s growing experience would be direly needed in the days to come.

Landon and Zhunjai also grew closer as time went by. Upon becoming a Commander, Landon officially made her a Subcommander, due to the large size of the Brigade (which was growing larger with time), and he knew he could trust her to help with the leadership. But their relationship grew on a more personal level as well…when Landon proposed to Zhunjai. The two were married soon after.

Now, five years later, the dawning of a new age of battle approaches. And Landon is determined to see to the end of it in the favor of those who live in fear of subjugation and control.


-Other: For those of you who know Landon…yes, you know what I am gonna use as his Special Evolution x3

________________________________________________________________________________

-Name: Zhunjai Aluren

-Gender: Female

-Age: 18

-Species: Sandshrew

-Faction: Alliance

-Description: Anyone who looked at Zhunjai knew instantly that she was pretty. Most Sandshrew had gritty skin from being Ground-Types, but her skin is smooth to the touch, not at all unpleasant to feel. Rather than the common black eyes most Sandshrew have, her eyes are a very deep but bright blue, like the color of the ocean on a sunny day. Most commonly she will have a simple pink flower on her head with the stem behind her ear, accenting her more tropical appearance. Completing the image would be the grass hula skirt that she sometimes likes to wear during times of peace and quiet, dancing with or without music to keep her mind clear and bright, and her senses calm.

Most commonly seen slung over her shoulder is a green pack, made expertly of woven blades of grass and leaves, that she had made herself to hold the many healing supplies someone like her needs. Besides herbs and poultices, she also carries wrappings and crude bandages for those more stubborn injuries she has come across. In addition to her pack, she keeps her staff upon her back just in case she needs to join any battle.

Any time she feels free to do so without risk, she also wears a golden ring, with a large diamond adorning it, on one pawfinger: a symbol of her commitment to her husband.

-Personality: Zhunjai is a very happy Sandshrew, almost always seen with a smile upon her face. She can be excitable, but for the most part the little maiden is calm and caring at all times. She is very gentle, not able to bring herself to cause any mortal harm to anything, hence her weapon choice of the staff and decision to be more of an herbal healer in the midst of a battlefield rather than a combat specialist. She can be fierce when needed to be, but this kind of emotion for her doesn’t last long when her caring nature shows through even that.

One of the main things that make Zhunjai such a good medic would be her incredible intelligence. She is sometimes told to be a genius, though she will immediately deny such things. She knows she is intelligent, yes, but a genius? Hardly. There are things she does not know anything about, and while she may strive to learn about things she does not know if there is a way, there is still more to know out in the world.

One thing that causes her distress is all the pain around her, due to the recent war that had sprung up. She had been wondering for most of her life why the Urban Unity and the Nightjade didn’t get along, not arriving at an answer that satisfied her as of yet. She was overjoyed when they finally put their differences behind them to work together, but the campaign of the Dark Lily is just as bad in her eyes. War hurts her on a spiritual level, but she knows that she alone can do nothing to stop it, so the best she can hope is that the war will be won with a minimum of lifeloss. Due to her appreciation for life itself, she prefers to give medicine and healing herbs to anyone and everyone on a battlefield, friend and foe alike. It’s not uncommon for her to be seen tending to wounded Dark Lily Pokémon after a battle.

Even though she is caring, she obviously has a closer relationship to some more than others, but she couldn’t possibly have a closer relationship with any other than Landon; as her husband, he is the only family she has, and she is determined to not lose him no matter what.

-Background: Zhunjai was born and raised in the small little village of Doma’esk, north of Brachta Beach on the Nightjade continent of Synamax, which was a farming community. The neighbors were quite far-spaced, meaning Zhunjai didn’t have very many friends, but she did have a few, and they, along with her family, were very close. Life was simple for her, since there was plenty of peace and quiet, but that doesn’t mean that her education was simple at all, either. It was obvious from an early age that Zhunjai would grow up to be an intelligent person, and so her parents took advantage of every opportunity and resource they could to help Zhunjai’s wealth of knowledge along. Lacking the materials and teaching practices most commonly found in schoolhouses in the Urban Unity, the Sandslash couple still managed to give her a wealth of knowledge even they did not have before trying to teach her. Ever eager, the young Sandshrew girl sat, rapt, as she absorbed more and more knowledge.

Due to the fact that their village was small, hardly anything from the outside world ever reached their ears, something that they preferred; why let the worries of the world affect them when they had their own things to worry and care about? But sometimes some things do come to their knowledge and affect them…and in this case, it happened to be a family of ‘chus, having gone across the sea on a boat they made themselves not too long after Zhunjai had been born. They didn’t come to the village, but they were able to be seen from the lettuce patch on the Sandslash family’s farm. They were a tired buch, obviously hardened by their journey and in dire need of a place of their own. Always ones to help out travelers, the Sandslash pair immediately went out to help the small family by offering a bed to sleep in at their house. Once the Raichu male made it clear that they dind’t want to intrude, and preferred a cave or cove to stay in, they immediately knew of a nearby place that would be perfect, just up a hill outside the community.

A five-minute walk was all that then separated the tuckered-out ‘chus from their new home, which they decided immediately upon seeing it. The next day, the Sandslash couple introduced their daughter and a local friend, a Wartortle named Trais, to the family, and they became a tight-knit group quite quickly. Particular to note was Zhunjai’s new friendship with the young Pichu son, Landon. She was immediately fond of him, because he was just as friendly with her as she was with him.

Over the years, the families constantly interacted with one another, finding a kinship in them, and relishing it. Any help that either needed would be provided by the other, whether for harvesting, building, finding, anything. While the parents were out working together, Landon and Zhunjai were always playing and having fun with one another. Soon enough, Landon’s thirst for knowledge led him to start having classes with her parents as well, learning alongside his close friend. Over the years their friendship could only get stronger and stronger, as proven when Landon soon evolved into a Pikachu…and this would friendship would show greatest when a great tragedy struck.

Again, it wasn’t common for anything from the outside world to affect the farming community. Even sicknesses were kept out of the clean land, until one day, when a nasty plague took a deathgrip on even the strongest of Pokémon. The children were mostly left untouched, but nearly every single adult in Doma’esk was infected with a virus that left them bedridden with little energy, their conditions worsening. Not many survived once infected…and neither did Zhunjai’s parents. They were sick in bed for nearly three weeks before they succumbed to the strain. Zhunjai had tried caring for them with all her might, her efforts keeping her so ingrained she didn’t even think to go ask Landon’s parents for help. Landon had only discovered that they were sick on the day of their passing, when he encountered a sobbing Zhunjai. Immediately, he was by her side, comforting and caring for her. The whole ordeal had nearly snapped Zhunjai’s sanity, but Landon had saved her with his compassion and friendship. Zhunjai didn’t know how she would ever be able to repay him.

Life has a rather cruel sense of humor.

One day not too much later, Zhunjai had a knock at her door. Figuring it was Landon, she opened the door with a smile, but it eventually turned into a ghastly expression, one of horror and surprise, as she beheld a strange, winged Pikachu, with Landon slumped over her shoulder, blood dripping from his face. Without waiting for an explanation, Zhunjai beckoned the strange one into her home and had him set Landon on the table in her kitchen, pulling out herbs and wrappings as fast as she could. While working on Landon, the strange Pikachu explained to her what he witnessed, making a feeling of pure terror sweep through her very core. Landon had lost his parents, and was losing the fight for his own life, due to a band of thugs that had tried to kill them all. She could hardly believe such an experience had just happened, but her mind was more focused on helping Landon keep his life, even though his eye was definitely lost. Once she had finished administering her treatment, Landon’s breathing was more regular, and, with a sigh of relief, she moved Landon to the spare bedroom upstairs and allowed the Pikachu to explain further, as well as introduce himself.

She found out that he was named Juno, and that he had evolved into a Serachu from prolonged exposure to a Shiny Stone some time ago. It took a bit for Zhunjai to understand that any item made for inducing evolution could affect any Pokémon. It was something that amazed and intrigued her, being an inquisitive little Sandshrew. For the next few days while Landon recovered, she found out as much about this new information on evolution as she could from Juno. She wondered what her evolutions due to different stones and items looked like, none in particular attracting her more than the next.

After Landon awoke, she introduced him to Juno, who’d saved his life and brought him to her. It was obvious that Landon’s affections for Zhunjai had grown, and that he had gained respect and admiration for the one who had come to his rescue without even knowing him before. Juno left later that evening, but Landon and Zhunjai talked about it, and they agreed that it might be for the best to go and seek him out, exploring the world as they did so. Juno had the aura of a natural leader, and they were prepared to follow him to their last.

It wasn’t long after they found him and tagged along that the conflict, something that worried Zhunjai to no end; Pokémon killing other Pokémon was bad enough, but now the fighting would take place over the entire world, and that amount of massacring would be difficult to just hear about much less see. However, Zhunjai knew she had to get involved. The blame put on them by the Urban Unity was misplaced, as was their aggression, so she felt she should help out her fellow Nightjade residents. And being a healer, she knew that she could do some good in and out of combat, not only for those of Nightjade, but also those left alive and wounded from the Urban Unity side. No matter the threats or the criticism her actions would bring from those around her, she would continue to heal those she saw were in need of help. Besides, with Landon always close, she never had to worry about anyone actually carrying out any of those threats.

She eventually decided to take up lessons on using a staff, because she knew that she had to defend herself from being attacked as well, but rather than kill any attackers, she preferred to incapacitate them instead, to avoid the need for bloodshed. If she caused an injury, she was already there to patch them up anyway.

In the midst of the battle at Center Lake City, Zhunjai was very nearly killed, but she was saved by Landon; unfortunately, he was grievously wounded in the process, and he picked her up and ran to carry her to a safe spot. Despite her protests, Landon refused to stop and set her down until they were outside the city. After she was allowed to patch herself up, she looked to Landon, and terror grew inside her as she noticed his eyes closed. Desperately, she tried waking him up, but to no avail; still, she clung to the hope that he was still alive, and she healed his body as much as she possibly could to help assure his survival.

The arrival of the Dark Lily shook Zhunjai immensely, and she worked with other Nightjade soldiers, as well as Urban Unity soldiers, to evacuate all the citizens and get Landon to safety. The fact that the Urban Unity and Nightjade were now working together brought even the tiniest bit of relief to Zhunjai, something she needed in this tumultuous time. For two weeks, she and ten thousand soldiers waited in the Emerald Coast for Landon’s reawakening.

When Landon finally did awaken, she was so relieved that she broke down into tears instantly, the feeling of dread finally leaving her mind for good. With Landon back, a part of herself was back, and she felt strong again. When Landon and the whole brigade of Pokémon that had waited for him moved out, she was right there with him.

Surprisingly, Zhunjai was an incredible help in reinforcing the fortress found in the Frostfist Mountains, because defenses were one of her main studies while she was in training to be in the Nightjade military. It’s because of her and several others that the project was completed in only several months rather than years. This lead Landon, when he was officially made into a Commander, to justify his decision to make her his Subcommander.

But the surprises wouldn’t end there, because Landon surprised her during their private moments soon after in the traditional way, by taking a knee, presenting a ring, and asking that most binding of questions. Her answer was given without hesitation, and there was a big wedding set up inside Fort Gremio quite soon after.

With her loyalties set and her friends ever close to her, she was determined to see this war end on a good note for the entire world…

And here's mine as promised. It's a miracle I actually finished in a timely manner, huh? Well unless you don't like something, then I suppose it wouldn't be finished until I made edits.

Name: Karai Horoshi
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Species: Torchic > Combusken > Akoniken, Fire/Dark type
Faction: Independent, Alliance affiliated
Description: http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/6982/bethrezenrt3.jpg

My attempt at pixel editing, but it's only a start. The “hair” part is down like people hair, the V is longer and moved a bit higher up the forehead, the tail should be long and spiky on the end, and there should also be spikes on the shoulders and elbows.

And now for a more proper description.

An Akoniken is about a foot taller than a Blaziken. The colors of the flames they use are a dark brown, and their leg coloring is a dark brown as opposed to a bright orange. This variant of the species is at least three times as fast as a Blaziken, able to run on the surface of water without fear of getting wet.

Karai wears a belt with some pockets made for storage, and a mask to cover the bottom part of her face, but usually it's just worn as a neck scarf for decoration purposes.
Personality: Karai is not much of a people person and doesn't like crowds. Having been in charge of a couple hundred Pokemon for a while, she has a bit of a problem with taking orders from others. A bit hot tempered, but usually tries to not get mad over silly things. If you make friends with her, its forever unless you really do something to upset her. She enjoys fights but is never the one to start conflicts. She's often honest to a fault. If you're doing something wrong, smell, or ask her if you're fat, be prepared to be told the truth. Often in a sarcastic tone.
Background: A paradise for Fire Pokemon located in the Tripplecross Sea roughly between Bayoutown and Kuran, for generations the small volcanic island of Kinkau had managed to stay out of the conflicts going on in the rest of the world because of it's natural volcanic fog cover. The only ones who knew of it were those coming to do business with the locals. They had a lucrative business selling evolution items to the mainland. But this seemingly peaceful island held a secret. Once every two generations, the residents must lose one of their leading family or risk unleashing terrible destruction. Or so the story goes, but nobody has come back with proof, until recently that is.

One day, Karai was startled by Talet, her father, with terrible news. Grandfather was calling for her. “But dad, didn't he jump into Mount Spew to protect us? Not even a Fire type can survive lava. And what do you mean calling for me?”

The time had come, but she wasn't close to ready. Apparently those who sacrifice themselves to keep the volcano dormant went to a world beyond this one. Grandfather had appeared in a dream and told her father that there was going to be a cataclysmic eruption in three days. It was too soon, and a Combusken was not strong enough to sedate the volcano. Ignoring her pleads, dad jumped into the volcano to spare his daughter's life. For a week, all was well. But suddenly the volcano became active again one night. The vibrations woke her up.

Resigned to her fate, she headed to the mouth of the volcano. “What am I doing? I'm too young, too weak, and an only child. If I do this there would be nobody to lead my people. I don't even know how to do that. I'm just a teenager.” She thought to herself. The lava had been rising the past couple of days and there was a lot of smoke. There in the center of the lava on a magma rock was her father. It was unheard of for a Fire type to succumb to burns, but he was severely burned and looked like he wasn't even alive anymore. He hadn't eaten or drank the whole time. But why was he there? She'd seen him jump into the lava and disappear. Had the mountain rejected him? There was no way to jump back up from that rock, but thankfully she'd brought a grappling hook. She had to do something, at least give him a proper burial and start the evacuations. She jumped down there.

There was no semblance of a pulse. How to carry him out? The body weighed a lot. The old Blaziken was dead, or so it seemed. Something was clutched in his hand. Suddenly he coughed and spoke, barely above a whisper. “Karai take...this Dusk...Stone. We.....who live on.....Kinkau are.....especially sensitive to.......the effects of.....the stones mined.....on the....island. You must....lead......our people. I.....love you.” He wheezed and closed his eyes. He was truly dead, and the stone rolled out of his hand a little as his muscles relaxed for the last time.

Dad was dead. Tears welled up in the young Pokemon's eyes, and she got on her knees sobbing loudly. Karai was never the type to cry like this, ever. She'd just never been a very emotional person, but there was no way to hold back the grief. The sound echoed around her as she wiped the tears, trying to focus on the fact that the volcano was going to erupt soon.

But what did he mean? Dad hadn't evolved through stone evolution, especially not with a Dusk Stone. Gotta make a choice. The lava was rising higher. Grabbing the stone, she had no idea what would happen. A rush of energy, and a glow all over. It felt strangely soothing and pleasant. When it was over, Karai flexed her muscles and long tail. A tail? What was a tail doing on a Blaziken?

“Uwaah! What have I become?!” The scream echoed in the volcano mouth. No time to think about that now. She grabbed her father's body and leaped out of the mouth of the volcano. Why was that jump suddenly so easy? Putting the body in what looked like a safe spot, something compelled her to jump back to that rock. Madness. The volcano was about to erupt soon. Why did she come back to that rock?

”My child.” The voice sounded masculine, yet feminine. Strangely plural, yet also singular. It felt familiar, and like it wasn't being spoken out loud.

“Who's there?!” Yelled Karai, looking around and seeing no one.

”My child, there is no time. You must listen.”

No time? Yea, the understatement of the evening. “Dad?! But didn't you just die?!”

”No, but he is with us now. We are the voices of your ancestors. We, who sacrificed ourselves to protect this island.”

“The lava is rising! At this point, I don't care who you are! If you have something to say, spit it out!”

”You have received a one of a kind gift among our people, but you won't be alone for long. Others like you will soon follow. You have the power to control this volcano and others like it. Control it, but not stop it. Volcanoes must erupt, for it is their nature. But you can slow the eruption and direct the lava so it doesn't harm anybody.”

The lava was an inch from the surface of the rock Karai was staging on. “How?! Make it fast!”

”Child of Fire and Shadow, you need only dive in and you may will where the lava flow goes. We bestow upon you Immolation, use it to protect our people.” And just like that, the presence speaking to her felt like it went away.

Dive in? No, even most Fire and Rock types couldn't survive heat like this. In the stories, nobody ever came back. Father survived, but not for long. If jumping back here to this rock in the first place was madness, then what would one call jumping into a live volcano? Out of time. The lava was almost at her feet.

“THIS IS INSAAAANE!” Karai jumped into the molten lava.



Kinkau continued to enjoy a lucrative Evolution Stone trade with the mainland cities, not knowing what was happening in the outside world, or caring. What Nightjade had called “Advanced Evolutions” became more common among the populace.

On the anniversary of her father's death, Karai recalled what happened on that day. Talet rests behind Karai's house, and Laira her mother, prefers to pretend that Talet never died and will come back home some day. He was the only casualty of the eruption. The residents of the island were miraculously spared, as they watched the lava actually move to avoid their homes. But the volcano has been active again recently and could erupt again.

Since she doesn't dare attempt that stunt again, there's only one thing to do. The people have to involve themselves with the affairs of the rest of the world, and hope a more permanent solution can be found.

Other: For the record, I didn't intend to have a type advantage like this. I just like Fire. A lot.

Posted by: Kira Matosi Oct 12 2010, 08:18 PM

Name: Shoto
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Species: Ninetails, Common Infected
Faction: Dark Lily

Description:
http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/1691/infectedninetails.jpg
Shoto’s fur has been turned almost completely green by the infection, the only exception is the very tips of his nine tails which have miraculously stayed the same darker brown they were before he got infected. He has also grown what looks like a necklace of red and orange flowers and one red flower over his left ear. These have brought him no end of torment, but he tries to ignore them the best he can.

Personality: Shoto hates having been transformed, even if it were only the ridiculous way he now looked, he might not mind so much, but it’s having all these new weaknesses that he needs to remember that really irritate him. About the only good thing is that water doesn’t seem to do as much damage as it did before, in fact he can even live off water alone now which is handy, but boring. He doesn’t see the Shaymin flowers as a blessing at all like the rest of the Dark Lily crackpots seem to, he sees them for the plague they really are. However, there is no cure and no way of getting rid of the flowers or the freaks that started invading his territory. The Dark Lily offered to return his territory to him when the world was filled with “Shaymin’s blessing” if he helped them make it so. Plus, this way the whole world would be in the same blasted boat as he was. So, he will help them to turn the world into a freaked-out flower-pot, and the sooner the better.

Background: Shoto and his pack of Ninetails lived happily on the outskirt of the Koraken Desert. They were almost never disturbed by outsiders because who else would want to live in a desert besides maybe another fire-type and even then it took a special kind. Five years ago, when the Shaymin Flowers first appeared, the group had no idea what they were getting into by examining them. Poor silly Nani even ate some for a time, and so is more deeply infected than the rest, but not to the point of being one of the Dark Lily’s so-called “Chosen”, at least not yet. When it first happened, all the girls were making fun of Shoto behind his back since he now looked just as girly as one of them. But, he put that down immediately and they learned not to comment on it. For a time some outsiders would also comment upon it, whenever they came across the pack, but those outsiders learned quickly not to make that mistake again. Now though almost everyone in Azmarax is in the same boat anyway so it’s rarely ever even thought about. The other problem that started when the Shaymin Flowers cropped up was that Shoto’s territory was being encroached on by outsiders who wanted to attend to or grow more of the crazy-ass flowers that started all this in the first place. So, Shoto and his pack now go wherever the Dark Lily people want him to, helping to cast more Green Magic, which they’ve all now learned the basics of. Shoto’s been promised though that once the world is covered in Shaymin Flowers that he will have his territorial land returned to him. Whether or not they’ll keep their word Shoto doesn’t care, when this is all over he will have his territorial land back whether they give it back or not.

Other: Shoto never travels without his harem, whom he generally refers to as his pack so as not to demean them in the eyes of others. The pack consists of Keisha Shoto’s alpha mate and the controller of the group when Shoto is otherwise occupied, Leti Shoto’s second favorite, Sari the brains and conscience of the group, and Nani who’s pretty but not really all there.

I actually made this chara for the first, but wasn't able to join until after it ended so I'm hoping I can use her now even though she is Alliance... If not, that's fine.

Name: Takira
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Species: Dracovolt (Dratini > Dragonair > Dracovolt) A Dragonair evolved with the use of a Thunder Stone. She is a Dragon/Electric type with Levitate as her ability. However, her wings are fully functional.
Faction: Alliance

Description:
http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/5985/dracovolt.jpg
From the crest of her head to the tip of her tail, Takira is 14ft 4in long, but when she’s standing the crest of her head only reaches 7ft 4in. She weighs in at a healthy 324lbs. Her eyes are a shocking green that even seems to glow in dark places. Almost all of her skin is a pale blue, the exceptions being her stomach, which is such a light blue that is almost white, and the ten, pale yellow stripes found in pairs on her neck, upper arms, and legs. The horn in the center of her forehead is the same pale yellow as the stripes on her body, as are the feathers of her wings and ear-tufts. At the base of each ear-tuft is a turquoise lightning-bolt. At her throat and the end of her tail, her power-gems have turned yellow and now help her to harness the power of Electricity. When Takira must walk, her tail is usually held up between her wings to keep it out of her way and from getting stepped on.

Personality: Though Takira tries to take the optimistic view as often as she can, she is also a realist, she faces all situations with the best knowledge she can get about them and then does what she feels she must based on that knowledge. She no longer begrudges those that were originally from Urban Unity, for she has realized with the rest of the Nightjade faction that the true enemy is the fanatic Dark Lily faction that is so ready to transform the world into one big flower-pot.

Background: Buried deep in the high plateaus of the Synata desert, there is a winding warren of caverns. In the largest of these caverns there is a spring of fresh water. From that spring has grown a large lake and from that lake, an underground river runs out to sea. Within those hidden caverns, a society of water, rock, and dragon pokemon has flourished. This is where Takira was born. Her parents, a Dragonite named Toki and a Lapras named Shakira were both wandering spirits and so when Takira evolved into a Dragonair at the early age of eight, they allowed her to decide if she wanted to see the world with them or stay with her friends. Takira, sad to leave her friends, but more excited to see the world, chose to leave with her parents. When she was saying good-bye to a long-time family friend, a Lanturn named Lectra, the kindly electric and water type wanted to give Takira something special to remember home by and so she gave Takira the Thunder Stone that Takira had admired in her friend’s home so often. Takira put the stone on a seaweed thong and wore it around her neck, just underneath the power stone that naturally grew on her neck. For eight years, Takira and her parents traveled the world and Takira learned a great many things, and yet she never evolved, hoping to someday discover what effect a Thunder Stone would have upon her next stage of evolution.

When the Shaymin Flower crisis hit, Takira was sixteen and they were living in a sea-cave not far from the Nightjade village of Eastedge. When the Urban Unity forces decimated Eastedge, Toki was killed when one of their machines destroyed a near-by building sending debris flying. Takira had been with him and was injured, but saved from death by Toki’s selfless act of shielding her with his body. Takira had been knocked out by the concussion from the blast and when she came to, she was curled up between her father and the wall of another building. Groggily she asked, “Dad? What happened?” when he gave no reply, she blinked her eyes and refocused them only to see her father’s lifeless eyes glazed over and then to realize that he wasn’t breathing. First she recoiled, shrinking away from what had once been so familiar that now seemed strange in death, then she began to whimper and she moved forward again to nudge her father, and whispered, “Daddy please, no, don’t leave me.” In the back of her mind, a thought cropped up, it’s too late, they killed him. “no, No, NOOOOOOO!” In that moment, her grief was overwhelmed by rage at the Urban Unity army that had taken her father from her. She needed to be able to strike back at them, that need, that rage, caused a reaction from the Thunder Stone she wore and she evolved. With the almost overwhelming power of lightning that was now a part of her, the rage only seemed to grow. Takira wanted revenge and she wanted it now.

She flew high and saw that some of the machines that had created this carnage were still moving, still attacking, and a whole company of Urban Unity soldiers with it. She flew towards them, and targeted the first of the machines. She let the lightning loose. She had put so much rage and power into the Thunder attack that it destroyed the machine and killed not only those in it, but at least two soldiers standing near-by and burned a few others. Her rage was not spent just yet, and neither was her electric power. She attacked two more machines in quick succession. But, the soldiers had noticed her and were now firing back, with their machines, but also with their own Pokemon attacks. Two bullets and one Confusion hit her hard and her rage was gone. In its place an empty confusion and overwhelming sadness inundated her. At first she wasn’t even sure why she was sad, the reason flit through her mind for a split second and she fled the battle-field. When the Confusion wore off, she was able to tend to her wounds, and it came to her that she should not leave her father’s body just there in the street. So she went, and despite the carnage managed to find where she had been, and she indeed found her father’s body right where it had been before. She cleared away the debris that had killed him and when she had she was just able to carry him, but she carried him all the way back home.

That day, after they had honored her father, Shakira and Takira went in different directions, Shakira took to the sea, wanting to return to the colony where she and Toki had first met, where Takira had grown up. Takira on the other hand, could not simply run and hide, she wanted to help Nightjade. So, she flew north to join the Nightjade army. She was there for it all, but she had never risen very high in rank and hadn’t done anything particularly note-worthy. She had even helped with the final evacuation of Victakan. She knew of the valor of the commandoes led by the Serachu Juno, they had given their lives to allow everyone else to escape. Takira had been one of those put in charge of making sure that the refugees made it out alive, and so that was what she did. Some groups went to cities in Kanat, others to other various regions throughout Kanat and Synamax. Takira was with the group that went to Sylath on Synamax. When she had completed her duties, she took a leave of absence to return to her childhood home since it was not far away. Now, she is ready to return to the fight, though she is not very sure what she can do to help stop the spread of magic-induced, infection-carrying flowers, she knows she must at least try.

Been wanting to do this for a while...

Name: Kitaru
Gender: Female
Age: 31
Species: Pikachu. Common
Faction: Dark Lily

Description: http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/1193/pikachuy.jpg(credit to me for picture =D)
Stands at a height of one foot ten inches, at least half a foot taller than normal Pikachus. Kitaru is evidently different in many ways, one of those being her fur is a dark green colour, due to the infection, and she has tiny trees growing on her head, about half an inch, maybe an inch, in size. Her eyes are a sparkling silver colour, whilst the pupils are gold. Her right ear is missing a tiny bit off the top of it, making it about a quarter of an inch smaller than the left ear. Kitaru wears a small necklace around her neck with the symbol of Fire on it.

Kitaru has a scar just under her left ear, and the scar is about an inch in length. She wears a silver arm bracer that covers the lower half of her arm up to her elbow on both arms, and on her right hand wears a golden glove, but doesn't wear a glove on the other hand. Kitaru has a willow bow which she carries on her back. Kitaru also has a small silver sword sheath which contains her golden sword.

Personality: Kitaru has a strong distaste to most things around her, having grown to dislike the world because of being treated like an outcast because she was infected. However, she doesn't hate the Dark Lily, because they welcomed her with open arms. Kitaru isn't as intent on spreading the infection as others, however she is still keen because she wants revenge on the people who cast her away because of being infected. Kitaru feels like she's something when she's with the Dark Lily, and feels that without the Dark Lily, that she would have nothing. Because of this, she will fight for the Dark Lily no matter what, until her dying breath is exceded from her body. Kitaru can be a violent person if necessary, not one to shy away from blood or killing, sometimes even taking enjoyment out of it, however, that only happened once, and it was when she had got revenge on a group of Pokemon who had constantly been mean to her.

Kitaru has learnt to lock the majority of her emotions away, so as to not appear weak. She tires of the chanting, and lacks emotion in spreading the blessing of Shaymin. Kitaru is easily annoyed, and can be easily ticked off if the right buttons are pushed, otherwise she's a pretty tough nut to crack. When angered, she is extremely violent. She is arrogant at times, and a smartaleck. Kitaru perceives the Alliance as a bunch of fools, a dying era that should just give up and save themselves the humiliation of being decimated by the Dark Lily.

Background: Kitaru grew up in Jansen, in Synamax, and grew up with an ordinary family, and attended a school. However, Kitaru never quite fit in because of her personality, as well as her tastes, and eventually had to drop out of the school because of being bullied. Kitaru's parents died when she was nineteen, and she immediately left Jansen, to go travel. She happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was infected by the Shaymin Flower Infection. Deep in sorrow, she returned home to Jansen, and was outcast by everybody, friends and family. Kitaru was deeply angered and swore revenge, and when the infection hit Jansen, she felt somewhat happy about having gained her revenge, however she personally went to Jansen and exacted her revenge by killing the few living tormentors she could find,

Kitaru then joined the Dark Lily who turned out to be secretly controlling Jansen, and was welcomed with open arms, being treated the same as every other member of the Dark Lily. Kitaru was in the army that attacked Center Lake City, and had attacked a Pikachu and a Drowzee which happened to evolve into a Hypno. An Armored Dragon rescued the duo, and was reinforced by LOCKDOWN soldiers. The Dark Lily forces pressed the attack, and Kitaru dealt a vicious blow to the Armored Dragon, the vine she launched skewering its chest. Kitaru helped with the mass infection of Center Lake City by aiding a group of Dark Lily soldiers move through the city, summoning the infective vines, and thus spreading the pollen.

Kitaru was then given orders for her group to head to Victakan Plains, where they cornered the fabled Juno, with the help of Xy. Kitaru felt a deep satisfaction inside herself when Xy ordered the deaths of Juno and his soldiers. Kitaru was given the order to march on Snowpoint City, and infected it, and then mobilised to take Eastedge, finding it practically decimated. Kitaru then moved back to Jansen, to press forward the Dark Lily infection in Synamax.

Other:
Golden Sword- About six inches in length, a specially smelted and sharpened blade personally made for Kitaru.

Just wondering, can there be a character who is'nt with the Dark Lily, or the Aliance?

Posted by: Neo Pikachu Oct 13 2010, 01:05 PM

That's possible. Kaioo has a character that's technically not on either side.

OK then.Can i make a second character?

Name: Icefang
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Species: Froslass
Faction: None

Description: Icefang is 4.03''. She wears a Dawn Stone, which gives her Magical powers. She is blind, but uses her powers to see. On her left eye there is a scar.

Personality: 5 years ago, she was a nice kind Froslass.But now, she is cruel, and has no remorse.

Background: Icefang was born blind. She used to be a kind and caring Froslass. She was always pushed around, and made fun of, because she was blind. This was why she became cruel. But one day, she discovered a magic that she could use. She felt that she could take revenge on these Pokemon, and did. She belives that everyone thinks she i freak, so he ran off into the Abandonded Mine in Jansen. She lives here no, and if anyone ever goes, in, she uses her powers to freeze them, and keep them as decorations.

But one day, she went to her family, and attacked them. her father scrathed her left eye, and her guiding stick broken. After she froze them, She discovered a Dawn Stone necklace. She put this on, and now she can "see". Because she lives in the abandoned mine, and rarely goes outside, she doe'snt know about the Dark Lily.

You need more for the description, personality, and history. Exactly how is she evil and what has she done that would be considered evil? As for the background, how exactly did she live before the current events? You really need to answer these and not leave her character so vague in detail.

Posted by: Bron Oct 16 2010, 04:03 PM

Yup, and to add to what Neo said, I have a character who isn't with the Allies yet due to living an isolated life but having trade relations with them, so hence the affiliation part.

But generally independents are frowned upon aren't they Neo? I'd say perhaps make it a requirement to have intentions to join a faction soon into the RP, not necessarily the main Alliance or Dark Lilly ones, but one of the ones that exist. Kaioo's multitude of characters created a couple "Other" factions.

And seriously I don't get how he can do that. Not only is it conflict of interest to be able to write adequately for multiple sides, but Kaioo just killed one of his own characters. To me, it becomes hard to get into a character's skin, to actually care what happens to a single character, if I had more than two (So what's losing a couple bodies right? He's like Legion from Dreamscape. Don't even need to worry about trying to escape the afterlife because he just adds another to his repertoire to replace the one he lost) but, Kaioo you've got like what 7 and still going? How come there isn't a soft cap on character count? I say soft cap because if he really needs to make another one and has a good reason, I don't see why it shouldn't be allowed, but it just seems like a waste to control so many characters. What side are you really rooting for personally, Kaioo? I can't tell because you're all over the place.

Just my 2 cents, because this has been floating around in my head for a while.

Posted by: Kaioo Oct 16 2010, 05:04 PM

The characters I have created are all essences of my own personality, and therefore myself. We can have as many characters as we can handle, and I believe that I can not only handle the number of characters I currently have, but it allows me to challenge myself by writing from different viewpoints, and my different personalities.

I personally am not rooting for any side, I'm more of in the middle, watching with interest to what happens within the story. I have no personal attachments to any of the sides, and I hone myself to understand that so I can write fairly, and equally, for my characters.

And originally, I only had three, then I ended up turning my NPCs into PCs so this time round I just decided to do sign ups for them...

Name: Xires
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Species: Hitomoshi>Ranpuraa>Lampuraa
Faction: Alliance

Description:
He is like that of an old England lamppost, ,with an Interseting sort of metal cap on top. he features for arms, each one sporting a yellow flame that flickers occasionally. His head is a glass sphere with a large yellow flame inside of it. He has two eyes that shine like floodlights.
Personality: Xires is very intelligent, but will only reveal this when asked. He tends to be in charge of prisoners of war, seeing as his typing allows him to be more in charge. He can be unfeeling at times, or in a word, cold, but is rather kind to the people that he knows. due to constant care of Prisoners, Xires is on the brink of insanity, and must constantly be reminded of his importance, lest he hurt himself. he tends to let his mind wander.
Background:
Xires was named after His mothers friend, who, unfortunately, had disappeared with a Dusknoir three weeks prior to his birth. At the age of three, his father gave him a dawn stone. He had a fairly rough childhood, as his mother was an outcast from urban unity. He tried to survive as best as he could, and left home at an early age. It was around this time that he evolved into Ranpuraa.
He was barely eighteen when he met his first dark lily. unfortunately, they tried to kill him. they had no use for capture. of course, he fought back with bursting flame, which was his most powerful attack. Thankfully, he managed to fight them off. One of his flames, however, landed on the dawn stone, causing it to glow. he picked it up, and evolved once more. He decided with his full evolution set, to join alliance army.
Once he had done that, he Quickly ascended the ranks. He got where he is now today with Honor and dignity.
Other: His signature move is Purgatory, (It's information is at serebii.net), And he is the Warden of one of the biggest war camps of the alliance.

Xires, Alliance is locked, its got way too many people.

Depends on the RP, but I’ve been looking at what Kaioo is doing and generally, I think its okay and I have no problems with it. It’s the independents that stay independent and do nothing but disrupt and distract from the storyline that I don’t like.



Eh, if Kaioo can handle it, its fine with me. He’s been doing an excellent job with them and honestly, I don’t see why such a limit would be necessary. And most of the time he groups them together, so really, I don’t see a problem.

THE ALLIANCE
Locked

Alliance Locked!?! Derp. Can I be like, Not part of either? or do I have to be Dark lily?

Posted by: Latio Reol Oct 23 2010, 08:35 PM

Hi, Neo! I was planning on doing a character for the Dark Lily, and specificly, a Lily's Chosen.

Name: Karazin "Skymin" Ziviz
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Species: Lily's Chosen Buizel
Faction: Dark Lily-Lily's Chosen

Description: This guy looks more like Sky Forme Shaymin than a buizel. the Moehawk, the ears (which hang down from his head rather than stick up like a regular shaymin), the scarf, most of the stuff on his body gets him called "Skymin" quite a lot. however, he retians the two tails signature of a buizel. Major differences from both Skymins and Buizels include a ring of floweres that go around where his Air Pouch was, a grass-like hair has appeared on his head (think of bangs), and his back and arms conceal tentacle-like vines, which he controls to the fullest extent. the vines he produces in this manner are various-Blue flowered vines (A.K.A. medic vines) can speed up healing, Pink flowered vines (A.K.A. metamorphasis vines) have Shaymin Infection Flowers and are particularly powerfull when spreading it (compared to Karazin just walking around), Spiky Vines are toxic to touch and very hard, and Vines with Black Roses and a prickly appearance (A.K.A. black rose vines) are intended to drain life out of victims and briefly obtain their powers, as well as being another source of particularly strong Shaymin Infection. the last of said vines Karazin uses only when he's really upset. really, really upset. oh, yes, he's grown about 2 feet higher than usuall, and can sprout (and launch) seeds from his own body at will. overall, he looks the part. in more generall terms, his fur is grass, his harder appendeges (like claws or teeth) are some sort of hard wood, his blood is now chlorophyll, and like any other plant, does photosynthysis. he sunbathes as often as he used to swim.

...was that a bit confusing?

Personality: For what has been considered a deity in the Dark Lily, he is lazy to extremes. He only seems to care if he can swim or sunbathe. He has a very long fuse, but when the internal bomb of rage goes off, well, to put it mildly, it's like a nuclear bomb filled with ridiculously large fauna was dropped. and that's not mild at all. fortunatly for most, he is too lazy to really start a real rampage, and is more likely to be seen hanging around the far edges of a neutral-sided lake or in the bowels of a Dark Lily encampment than actualy fighting. nevertheless, he's highly strong, incredibly smart, and decivingly resoucefull, despite the fact that he's too lazy to even care about the war. his logic is so: "Dude, what's the point? Like, can't we just all get along?"

His Transformation into one of the most powerfull of all the Lily's Chosen has had only a few effects on him: 1, he's now a Tree-Hugger, and quite a big one at that. 2, by being taken in by the Dark Lily, he's attached to them, regardless of how misguided they may be (he's yet to prove that what they're doing is really a big issue in his book). 3, his ability to control plants is so strong that he feels a certain connection to life in generall, and feels really uncomfortable around dead bodies, and as such tooken it upon himself to try and revive severly wounded and near-dead solidgers of any faction. He unintentionally gets a lot of Pokemon to join the Dark Lily in this manner (the touch of a Lily's Chosen causes instant infection, if I'm not mistaken). 4, his religious ideas originally dictated that Kyogre and Manaphy were basically Arceus, but now, he belives that entities like Celebi or Shaymin are the real Gods, and as such, Most of the Dark Lily follows suit. Finally, he's heard of the Serachu named Juno and the Pikachu named Landon, and as much as They Hate the Dark Lily, he hates them. He also heard from a Former Nightjade that Juno is dead, so he's turned his attention to Landon.

On a side note, he envies the Advanced Evolution Pokemon, and hopes that one day, he can make an Advanced Evolution, if not Lose his Lily's Chosen status altogether. the Dark Lily claims if you are a Lily's Chosen, then it's impossible, but he still thinks otherwise.

Backstory: He spent over half of his life in the Southwind Ocean for the most part, generally just swimming around and being lazy, his water type bretheren and him being segmented from the rest of the world, so no one down there knew about Shaymin and the Infection. they were still scared when giant roots suddenly appeared out of nowhere, cutting through rocks and underwater cliffs like paper, signaling to His Floatzel parents that they had to move to the continents (even though they had no idea of what was occuring, with so little contact and all that.) His aloof and carefree attitude didn't even change when they were trying to move into Cyan bay (a Nightjade colony at the time) on Azmarax. He was so tired after day 3 of hauling all that luggage around in fact, that he decided to ditch his parents, head out onto a small, secluded island, and stop and rest on nothing short of the largest Shaymin Infection Flower in the world at the time. And he slept, right in the center of the thing, compleatly disregarding the danger of touching unknown foliage, and snoozed for about 12 hours. when he finally woke up, he woke up a whole new Buizel, suddenly being pure grass type, finding himself a lot more physically powerfull, looking like a Sky Forme Shaymin, with a very changed voice, and changing the landscape around him into a flowering meadow wherever he went. He assumed that it was meerly the Advanced Evolutions that he heard so much about from the other water types (they probably knew about that), and just considered the gigantic flower he found his new home, and he simply fell back to sleep on the thing, making it his new bed.

A month later after the decision to crash at the island, when the crisis of the Shaymin Infection Flowers were revealed, and his parents had finally searched for him on the island (a great distance from cyan bay), they percived Karazin as a compleatly different Buizel (who could blame them? He looked like a bipedal Skymin, and his voice changed pretty drasticly), and asked him if he saw their son. Quickly picking up on a chance to get them out of his life (his parents were overprotective and really clashed with him), he simply said that he saw him dead on the beach and set his body adrift in respect. they cried up an ocean before Karazin pointed to where he allegedly set the body adrift, and his Mother and Father went, hoping to properly bury the body in an actual funeral. He hightailed it to Sartaras as a percausion (he'd get killed by his parents if he was caught lying like that), and that was where he found out the truth - that his new body was a product of the Shaymin Infetion Flower, not from Advanced Evolution like he suspected. The citizens of Sartaras were extremly scared about his Infectious ways, how whatever he touched would immediately obtain the Infetction, and as the city wasn't severly Infected yet (these events were before the events of Viral Overgrowth), he was thrown out-literally-by the arms of those he accidentally Infected. Full of rage for the first time in his life, and not fully understanding the intentions of the people of the Urban Unity, he used his new power to practically demolish the city, leaving only peices remaining, and the entire city, as well as the area around it, was turned into the Infectious Meadow it is today. The founders of the Dark Lily saw this and took Karazin in as a Deity, being considered (but not confirmed as) the first of the Lily's Chosen, and basically being the reason for starting up the Dark Lily. The Teachings of the Dark Lily into it's Green Magic gave Karazin the full idea of his powers, and his only concern about them from then to today is the fact that he may be far too powerful to ever consider being used in such a violent way ever again. However, this concern was incredibly small compared to the luxury of being able to do basically whatever without scorn or objection from the Dark Lily.

His current role as one of the Dark Lily's Deities is somewat taxing, requiering him to try and make Lily's Chosen's out of captured pokemon-mostly those with Advanced Evolutions. Other than that, he generally has days of free time to himself and his Dark Lily friends. He really envies the Advanced Evolution Pokemon, actually, and hopes that someday, he at least gains the ability to make an Advanced Evolution, if not lose his Lily's Chosen status altogether. The Dark Lily Claims that If you are a Lily's Chosen, then it's impossible, but he still thinks otherwise.

Other: He is unlike other Lily's Chosen in the fact that he is not a Millitary leader at all. He's more like an object of worship or a Pope of sorts, and as such, his death would certainly and severly weaken the faction. To get a little technical, his ability as a pokemon is Chlorophyll (which doubles speed in sunshine).

ARCEUS, ANY LONGER AND I'D HAVE STOPPED TYPING BY NOW! well, that's done. now then...where's the RP? oh, wait, Neo, is this godmodding? I understand that the Lily's Chosen are really powerfull, but is this too much? I can understand that.

Posted by: Zapi the Pikachu Oct 24 2010, 09:08 AM

Are we still allowed to join if we weren't in the original RP?
If so, could you reserve a Dark Lily spot for me, please? c:
edit: I'm probably going to make two characters for Dark Lily, just a btw.
And one more question, about how long (in years) was the duration of the original RP? I'm kinda needing that for my character's backstory...

Posted by: Neo Pikachu Oct 25 2010, 10:18 AM

You guys are welcome to still join, but the RP has been extremely dead lately. Latio, I'll consider you accepted, but again, it seems like everyone's left the RP a while ago.

And xires, you could make a character that's not in either faction.

Posted by: Zapi the Pikachu Oct 25 2010, 07:55 PM

Ah...I dunno if I should join, then.
It's too bad; the RP was a great idea. Wish I would've gotten into it before it died...

Posted by: Latio Reol Oct 27 2010, 08:05 PM

hmmmm...

Neo, are we going to keep the Viral infecton/Spring Cataclysm path for, persay, another forum V.S. forum RP war, or is there going to be something different?

also...is there ever going to be a sequal to Spring Cataclysm?

Posted by: Neo Pikachu Oct 28 2010, 03:52 PM

Probably not, I think people are getting a bit tired of the storyline and it might be time to think of something fresh and new. If there's another forum vs forum RP, I'm probably going to come up with an all new storyline. That way, new people will feel more comfortable getting into it, and it will have a fresh new feel.

Still, I'm pretty satisfied with how far and how long this went for. It turned out pretty well, I'd say.
