A Pokemon Journey RP
~
In a new Poke Region rightfully named Teramyste (or "Land of Mystery"), a series of islands long undiscovered between Johto and Hoenn, dark secrets await. Professor Pilot is enlisting the help of new trainers to start a journey in Teramyste to study both the known and the unknown Pokemon of the region. Along the way, these trainers will battle against not only each other, but also the newly-appointed Gym Leaders at each major city to collect badges. These leaders will utilize Teramyste's unique Pokemon and their abilities to defeat any trainers who wander into their battle arena. All 5 badges are necessary to gain the Champion's invitation to Teramyste's Grand Coliseum, where invitees battle each other to determine who can challenge the Champion. However, as trainers come closer to achieving this goal, a secret organization amasses in unknown locations around Teramyste, conducting wild experimentation on the region's Pokemon. What are they hoping to accomplish, and how far are they willing to go to find their answer? More importantly, will our chosen trainers be able to stop them in time?~

Official "Trouble in Teramyste" Forum Page~
RP Rules- Do not post in the official RP page without joining through here first.
- There are no limits to race/ethnicity UNLESS it gives your character insane powers. Example: you can be an elf but you can't use magic. Example 2: you can be a cat-eared person but it's only cosmetic. We want an equal playing field to start. After that, it's all Pokemon canon (though as it's a new region, I will be incorporating new mechanics and ideas). In addition, please don't make a flawless, "badass" character who can do everything ever. If you need me to explain, please PM me. Get creative!
- Act in character at all times in the official RP page!
- Do NOT make fun of anyone else, how they roleplay, or what kind of character they have. Unless it seriously interferes with the RP, people can be whatever character they want within the world.
- Enter all out-of-character (OOC) text in parentheses.
- Do not constantly post two or even three times in a row. I am excluded from this rule because I will be conducting NPC interactions and setting changes. I'll try to keep everything tidy, in any case.
- If you would like to control side characters, feel free! I will be constantly introducing new characters for your characters to interact with and such, but I don't have to do this alone! If you'd like to own more than one character, please PM me or talk to me through parenthetic OOC (see: Rule 5).
- Please use correct grammar and spelling wherever and whenever possible.
- I am the Dungeon Master (DM).
- Cursing is allowed. (Didn't think I'd have to say it, lol)
- To show that you have read these rules, please put a somewhere in your RP Character Sheet when you request to join.
(( Check this list often; rules are subject to change if needed. Feel free to ask for rule changes as well as needs arise. ))

How to joinTo sign up to be one of the trainers enlisted by Professor Pilot, please fill out the following RP Character Sheet.
There will be 3 spots available for people to join at the start. These trainers will begin in the starter town. After that, additional players will be introduced into the RP through various other means. Either way, you can join anytime. The sooner, the better!
The plan is to have new players begin on
___TO BE DETERMINED___. Anyone who joins after that will be added likewise, but not through the starting town. I'm planning a big opening for the beginning of the RP, and I can't repeat it over and over.
If I don't have enough players to begin by that time, I may extend the deadline. I'm just excited to begin this roleplay! I might even start it earlier if interest is high enough... however, I dunno. Forum has been kinda dead?

Current Cast of CharactersProfessor Pilot (click to showhide)
General InformationFull Name: Pilot Draryu
Nickname?: Pilot
Age: 26
Gender/sex: Female
Race/Ethnicity: White/Caucasian, human
Profession/Status: Pokemon Professor
AppearanceHeight?: 5'8"
Weight?: 180 lbs? lmao
Hair: Honey brown
Eyes: Blue
Unique Details: Before Pilot became a professor, her "trainer look" was as so:
As you can see, she kept her favorite scarf and still wears blue jeans. Her signature hat is a black baseball cap with flames. It's one of her most prized treasures. Pilot isn't very feminine in dress and often wears button-up shirts and dress pants or khakis when she's not in her professor coat.
Personality: Pilot is a very kind, intelligent person. She's been through a lot (see: History) and knows the world of Pokemon well. She is competent in Pokemon battles after years and years journeying through every region. She is the kind of person who seems like they'd never give up. However, she does have low points and often gets frustrated and disappointed if she can't figure something out quickly. If she's put into a situation where she has no control, she will quickly seek out control or else lose her cool. She's the type of person who doesn't trust others with important tasks so easily, and will often just do the job herself. However, at this point in her life, she's realized that she needs to give others the opportunity to do the right thing, to get the job done, to be the hero. (( more developments to come ))
History: Pilot was born in Pallet Town a little while after Red and Green. She never knew either of her parents; her father left before she was born and her mother disappeared one day when she was 6 and never returned. This left her in the custody of Pokemon Professor Oak, who watched over her and acted as a god-father. (Secretly, he knew where her mother went, but was always afraid to tell Pilot.) She grew up adoring Red and hearing about his adventures (they kept in touch after he left). Like every other 10 year old kid, she was going to become a Pokemon Trainer, too. When she turned 10, she and two of her childhood friends went to Professor Oak to begin their journeys. She chose Squirtle and quickly made her way out of Pallet Town. When she went into Viridian Forest, she discovered a silvery Eevee that was wounded in the brush. After nursing the Eevee back to health, Pilot invited the little fox into her team. The Eevee was named "Friend." They trained in the forest, meeting other new Pokemon, beating Bug Catcher trainers, and finding useful items. Then Pilot met back with one of her rivals, Josh, who had illegally purchased a Jolteon, and they faced off. Pilot saw that Friend would not be able to beat the Jolteon, so she willingly put herself between the two, causing herself to be struck by Jolteon's dangerous lightning. Josh was horrified at the scene, but quickly rushed her to the Pokemon Center. When Pilot came to, he was gone and Friend was by her side. In the dim light of her hospital room, Pilot looked at Friend with tears in her eyes and said, "I am so glad you're alright." Her companion cried in a sort of bitter joy to see her awake. Suddenly, the Eevee began to glow, evolving into a bright green Espeon. Shocked by the sudden change, Pilot gasped and took the Pokemon into her arms, crying and laughing happily. "Friend!" she cried as she held her up. "You've evolved!" Later on when she took Friend into combat, she discovered that the Espeon knew Hidden Power and it was Fire. The Espeon would summon a flaming heart in front of her chest before shooting it at foes. Therefore, Pilot decided to rename her as Fireheart.
This is just one story among many of Pilot's as she journeyed from Kanto to Johto, from Johto to Hoenn, from Hoenn to Sinnoh, and so on until taking a vacation in Alola. (( more History to come ))

Winter Tenewere (click to showhide)
Winter TenewereGeneral InformationNickname?: Winter
Age: 15
Gender/sex: Male
Race/Ethnicity: Werewolf-human Hybrid
Profession/Status: Trainer School Student --> Pokemon Trainer
AppearanceHeight: 5'10"
Hair: Black
Eyes: Blue
Unique Details: Winter's basic appearance is with fuzzy black ears, furry arms and legs and a bushy wolf tail. He changes into a wolf when under extreme stress or under attack. He wears his favorite pair of oversized white boots to cover his huge wolf feet (he's self-conscious about them). He keeps multiple outfits with him at all times because when he transforms, it can sometimes rip up his clothes. If it gets cold, he will wear a furry black and white scarf that his mom made for him with her own fur.
When Winter is under extreme stress or attack, he transforms.Personality: Against his own will, Winter is very loyal and outgoing due to his energetic werewolf blood. However, he's also determined, brave, and tends to keep to himself when it comes to personal matters. He's not quick to trust others, either, especially humans. He is still trying to kick old wild habits as well, such as cleaning himself, eating raw and without utensils, and subduing the urge to growl when angry, terrified or any other strong emotions.
History:Winter was born in Hoenn where regional werewolves (part Mightyena, part wolf) were commonplace in some remote locations. He grew up around others of his kind in a pack, but when he turned 10, his mother (a werewolf) convinced his father (a werewolf-human hybrid) to take him into human society. When he first went to Pokemon school, he covered his ears as much as he could and had his tail shaved so he could tuck it into his pants. However, as he grew more comfortable, he decided to let his identity show more and more. Now at 15, he's graduated Pokemon school and he was looking into future careers with Pokemon when Professor Pilot contacted him. She saw him as a unique opportunity due to his bloodline; he would be able to track scents if needed and communicate with Pokemon.
Additional NotesWinter can communicate with most Pokemon, though he has trouble with Pokemon that aren't canines.
