Global PokédeX Plus Forums _ Roleplay OOC Discussion and Sign-ups _ Begin Again

Posted by: Xires Sep 3 2014, 07:16 PM

First and foremost, a greeting. I cannot remember how long exactly it was since I last visited this site, but it has been quite a while, I assure you. Recently I have been informed that my Four Year anniversary happened recently, and to this I am surprised, very surprised indeed. That means it's been four years since I first visited this place. For those of you that don't know me, I am Xires, as my roleplaying experience is... I would argue, subpar. Nonetheless, it is tradition for me to return each time to this place with promise of a new roleplay for all of you to enjoy. As I am aware that almost all roleplays here rarely come to fruition, I have decided that this roleplay in particular will be one without much preordained plot events. That isn't to say, however, that there will be no plot involved. I look forward to your participation.

Character sign up:

Name: (This should be the name of your character.)
Species:(What kind of Pokemon are you? There can only be one of each pokemon, so read other responses carefully first!)
Appearance:(While you can technically put regular pokemon in here, a lot of pokemon have special items they hold on to, or certain special appearances about them that put them apart. If your pokemon has any of those, note that here! NOTE: It has to be identifiable as the pokemon. Scars, a tousling of hair, or eye color changes are fine, but a full on palette color change, major appearance changes, or otherwise are not acceptable.)
Personality:(Be detailed! If you're used to roleplaying out their personality, think about how you usually roleplay. This personality section is what I'll be looking at most when I judge whether or not you'll be accepted.)

Please note that at the current moment, I won't be having a particular character myself! You see, I want everyone to be able to choose their pokemon first, and then I will choose my own pokemon at the beginning of the roleplay. If You're accepted, I expect you'll already know basic etiquette, so a Rules list won't be necessary.

Hiya, I don't know you from when you were here before, but welcome back!
Anyway, this is very, very interesting. I've got school in about an hour, so I won't be able to do anything just yet, but I'll post something later today if I get the chance. I think I know who I want to put in here, as I'm used to roleplaying him and actually like him a lot. He also has one of those distinct features that you mentioned they should have.

I also noticed that you joined on my birthday. Pretty interesting.

You know what? I'll just do it now. I've got enough time.

Name: Kurai
Species: Luxray
Appearance: Kurai's fur is a strange red color, rather than the usual blue or rare gold that most Luxray have.
Personality: Kurai is very intelligent, and often thinks things over before acting. He uses his x-ray vision to his advantage, and is very loyal and often protective of those close to him. He also has a sense of pride, but usually lowers it around his friends.

I've been gone for a while, back to RPing!

Name: Aura
Species: Lucario
Appearance: Aura has the normal fur as a Lucario, but has crystal-blue eyes, since he got a scar on his neck, he also wears a red scarf.
Personality: Aura was bullied as a Riolu since he had different eyes than the other Riolu, he's very calm, cool and collected and always helping weak Pokemon in need, since he has been bullied back then, he always keeps his scarf on to hide his scar that he got from a fight with a angry Scyther that he had as a Riolu.

Posted by: Xires Sep 5 2014, 02:02 PM

Alright you two... I think I'm going to need to explain a few things.

Mr. L: I'm afraid I'm going to have to deny your application. A red Luxray isn't exactly normal, or passable within the pokemon universe. the closest there is to that is the pink pokemon from Pinkan Island, which have been eating a special type of berry selectively for their entire lives. Considering there are no instances of a red variant of this, it's not possible for your luxray to exist. Sorry.

Metal Sonic: At this point, I can only accept the Lucario, for reasons listed above with Mr. L. On a side note, you are only allowed ONE entry, I wish to keep as many pokemon available. I should specify that there should only be one held item (A singular oran berry, a scarf, etc.) I would appreciate a change with this. Additionally, I would prefer a much longer personality description. It's how I know whether or not you'll be able to put in the effort.

Posted by: Metal Sonic Sep 5 2014, 02:28 PM

Edited. (is this better?)

Posted by: Xires Sep 5 2014, 02:34 PM

Metal Sonic: Appearance wise, yes. That is much better. It should be noted that while you are already accepted, I would still appreciate going more in depth into their personality.

Posted by: Huntress Wizard Sep 5 2014, 02:47 PM

This seems like a good chance to flex my RPing muscles a bit more:

Name: Lyra

Species: Lopunny

Appearance: Lyra is a pretty typical Lopunny, color-wise. But her fur is not as well groomed as it should be, and is even matted in some parts. She's also slightly shorter than average at 3'7". She is missing two fingers on her right paw, and so usually keeps it tucked further into the ring of fur around her wrist. Lyra also has a bite mark scar on the right side of her stomach, visible as small patches of missing fur, that curves from her ribcage to the middle of her stomach and back around to her hip. There is a mirror image of this scar on her back. Around the base of her left ear, she wears the torn remains of a Silk Scarf. Lyra is Limber, able to dodge attacks with ease in the air.

Personality: Lyra is an optimist to a fault, never seeing the cloud without a massive silver lining. She hops everywhere she goes, occasionally forgetting that she's not a Buneary anymore and overestimating her leg power. She will always try negotiating and soothing before resorting to fighting, but make no mistake; she is a force to be reckoned with. Lyra is never without a smile on her face. She can sometimes be naive, but generally knows how the world works. Her one major fault, though, is that she would do anything to protect those smaller, weaker, or more helpless than herself. That was how she got the bite mark (Sharpedo) and lost her fingers (Beartic), and also how her precious Silk Scarf ended up in tatters (Druddigon).

I added a bit more to Aura's personality, I also added a extra to his Appearance.

Posted by: Xires Sep 5 2014, 06:33 PM

Huntress Wizard: Approved, and very well thought out as well. I like it.

Metal Sonic: You really don't actually need to edit your personality you know. Honestly, and I'll be blunt, It looks less like you added personality and more like you added some more to his appearance...

On a side note, I may actually be starting this up once we get a few more members. Groups of pokemon will be released in packs, so large scale confrontation may occur. Small groups of 3 or 4 pokemon will be released at a time, and then move together as a unit (hopefully). One more accepted member, and I'll start things up.

Posted by: Metal Sonic Sep 6 2014, 02:27 AM

Ah, sorry, is he still approved?

Posted by: Xires Sep 6 2014, 01:42 PM

Yes, He is.

Posted by: Huntress Wizard Sep 12 2014, 03:29 PM

If you really want to start, Xires, I'm sure we'd be fine for a little bit since your character would also be joining us. And maybe having it start would attract more peeps to join us...?

Posted by: Xires Sep 14 2014, 09:31 PM

Well, I suppose we can. But, to still keep things fair, I'll let you guys choose one from the three potential characters I'll play.

Dirge the Cacturne (M) (click to show)


Benjamin the Bronzong (N) (click to show)



Sophie the Audino (F) (click to show)

Posted by: Metal Sonic Sep 15 2014, 01:39 AM

Hmm... Lets see... I think I'll pick Sophie, we could use a cleric!

Posted by: Huntress Wizard Sep 15 2014, 04:53 AM

I also really like Sophie (inb4 someone screams MEDIC), but it would be funny to see how Lyra and Dirge interact.

Posted by: Xires Sep 17 2014, 09:31 PM

So, It appears Sophie the Audino is our choice. Sophie Actually holds what used to be a Mega Stone, and her ability is Healer. However, Due to the lack of humans on the planet, her Mega stone is nothing more than a pretty paperweight... Unless some secret is revealed.

Well hello there rp, don't you look intriguing? lol.gif

Is this still open for applications, by any chance? I'd really like to join.

Posted by: Xires Sep 26 2014, 12:17 AM

This is still open! I'd suggest looking over the length of the posts in the main topic, before considering applying, however. It's expected of you to be able to keep up.

Posted by: Fallen Angel Sep 28 2014, 03:42 PM

Great! No worries about posting length here; I popped over to the main topic for a look before asking, and I don't believe I'd have trouble keeping pace with you. (I've actually been accused of typing too much in the past, though admittedly that was a while ago, and I haven't done much roleplaying in far too long ago so I'm a little out of practice. sweat.gif) Anyway, I'll go start on a profile now.

ETA: Oh! Quick question. Seeing as you only have female characters active at the moment, would you like me to make a male, or does it not matter?

Posted by: Xires Sep 28 2014, 06:53 PM

To be honest here, I doesn't matter. Male or female won't make much of a difference, really.

Posted by: Fallen Angel Oct 2 2014, 05:33 PM

Hello again! I'm very sorry for the delay, real life and my muse both suddenly decided to be stubborn this week. sweat.gif Anyway, here's my character. I ended up making a male after all, so I guess my question was a moot point.

Name: Azrael

Species: Mightyena

Appearance: He differs slightly from the norm for Mightyena, measuring only 3' tall and weighing roughly 83 pounds. The extra weight is pure muscle and does little to slow him down. He certainly looks like he's been through the wringer more than a few times; his right ear is in tatters, his tail is crooked, and his pelt sports a startling number of bald patches where scratches and bite wounds have scarred over. The worst of these by far is an old jagged scar that circles around the right side of his throat from front to back. The black spiked collar he wears serves to hide a portion of the mark from view, but most of it extends well past the collar's edges and can be seen easily. The first hints of white fur on his muzzle show his advancing age, though it can be hard to notice without taking a closer look.

Personality: In a word, adamant. He has long since developed his worldview, and nothing short of the sky tearing open and Arceus themself stepping forth from the rift to dispute his opinion will make him consider changing it. Said worldview is rather bleak; love and compassion are myths, mercy a lie, and survival of the fittest the law of the land. Most of the time he remains silent, partly because he finds little value in words - actions speak volumes, after all - and partly because he finds little value in wasting breath on those he views as below him for one reason or another. The injury which disfigured his throat and damaged his vocal chords beyond repair may also play a small part in his taciturn behavior, though honestly he seems more grateful for the excuse to avoid most conversation than annoyed by the challenge it presents to make his words understood consistently. He has little patience for cowards, weaklings, and fools. He also tends to fly into a rage at the slightest provocation and is sadistic. The 'nicest' thing about him is that given the choice between fighting a worthy opponent and tearing some helpless creature apart (his two favorite pastimes) he'll always choose the former. This has the unfortunate side effect of causing him to try picking fights with anyone who looks strong. The one surefire way to earn his respect is to beat him in a contest of strength, but be warned - he views each battle as a life-or-death struggle, and he knows quite a few moves not normally part of a Mightyena's repertoire thanks to his diverse lineage. The benefits may just outweigh the risks, however, as he can be a powerful ally if his crueler tendencies are kept in check. At the very least he has a lot of moxie, so there's no worry of him turning tail when the going gets tough.

Posted by: Xires Oct 2 2014, 11:45 PM

Well thought out! Accepted.

On a side note, a mystery pokemon will be playing an antagonistic part in all of this. Be wary, i've already started their movements...

Posted by: Aura Dynasty Dec 11 2014, 04:36 PM

Alright. If thy areth still active, I'll be dropping someone in here very soon and edit this very post. Now you'll only have me think of any of my favorite pokémon that haven't been chosen yet... Oh, and the posts' length, Xires, you know me. I've grown my replies overtime, they're now doubled in length (and filled with five times more crap and other irrelevant bullshit, seasoned with the occasional typo. wink.gif )

Posted by: flamefiends Jan 4 2015, 11:48 PM

I've been dying to rp on this site again!

Name: Melody
Species: Leafeon
Appearance: Melody has seen better days. Even though the pokeball kept her healthy in her long slumber, the lack of sun has left her leaves an autumn red. Her fur is a bit faded as well. She treasures the white scarf she wears around her torso.
Personality: Melody is a rather pessimistic character. She doesn't like conflict and will try to avoid it when possible. She hates being weak, however, and won't show pain unless she's alone or super comfortable around whoever may be in the room with her.

Posted by: Jewely Jan 5 2015, 09:09 PM

Name: Lyla
Species: Raichu (female)
Appearance: A Raichu abnormally skinny and long for her species. Her tail is twice as long as her body, and is usually seen trailing behind her. Her ears are small, and her odd cheekbones give her the appearance that her cheeks are swollen. All other aspects of her body are unremarkable. She carries a choker with a blue jewel with her.
Personality: Lyla may seem strange to others at first, because of her inability to maintain contact and sentence fragments. But she’s actually a sweety and loves to make new friends, whether they are hostile or not. Her strange sentence fragments make her seem more hilarious than she really is, so her jokes usually come out funnier than expected. However, making fun of or laughing at her strange sentence fragments makes her sad. Many other things make her sad. In fact, its easier to make her sad. When she is sad, Lyla goes into a corner and cries.

I hope this is okay!

EDIT: I'm sorry, I didn't see how old the thread originally was. My mistake.
