Pokemon: The Fall of Hoenn (OOC, OPEN)

[New Jordslag]

I know Domino is 'On Loan'. I am just stuck on having Hanna show up there or stay with the main forces in Rustboro for a while, until Domino returns, as I am assuming the main Rocket force is in Rustboro.

I placed the strategic reserves and the Reserve HQ in Rustboro and thought of Ever Grande being site of the Main HQ and seat of Giovanni, that being the (former?) dwelling of the Elite Four... But Hanna taking command there sounds like a good idea, yes.

Ever Grande is the HQ of all the teams.

Ah... that explains some things, thanks. So, Ever Grande as HQ, Rustboro as Reserve HQ and garrison for the Strategic Reserves (now under Hanna's control), Slateport as main fighting area under Aqua-control/in the Aqua-Sector with Rocket-Support (Domino's part). Did I forget anything important?

OK, looking back I dont think I will get a post up before work, but when I do Hanna will be in Rustboro. Would it be OK if she captured Roxanne?

According to the opener here in the OOC, Roxanne is with the resistance in Dewford and uncaptured - maybe a very close call instead?

I can deal, I will settle for a close call and most of her 'Gym Trainers' and other supporters.

Also no. Her Gym Trainers would flee with her.

Name: Alistair Calston (Though he doesn't use his last name much anymore.)
Age: 20

Appearance:
Looks rather ex-Plasma like, yes? Just make the eyes a bright blue color.

Sex: Male
Gender: Also Male
Birthplace: Unova Region, Undella Town.
Moral alignment: Neutral Good

Biography:

Alistair was born in Undella Town to parents of a....well, to put it simply, of a very pragmatic nature. They were very business oriented, and had climbed their way up a social ladder with a reputable fellow - known as Ghetsis. The parents, for a long time, were close friends and allies of this Ghetsis, and were rather influential to the growth of Team Plasma in the future. But that was several years after Alistair's birth. They saw Alistair as less of a child, and more of a scion, their legacy and the individual who would succeed their interests as a shrewd and cunning person in the politics of Unova - and further. Honestly, Alistair, to this day, never has understood his parents' motivations in this manner. Why would they be so calculating and cold, and to what purpose? They were very pushing of Alistair, and unaccepting of his shortcomings. He nearly never got any freedom while being raised by them. He was educated by his mother, and in a way that he turned out very intelligent from it. But even then, he always desired an escape from their strictness. Undella Town was a beautiful place, but he was never able to truly experience it. It was all confinement and education for his childhood, but he resulted intelligent and physically able from it.

At the age of around fifteen and a half, Ghetsis had gained enough power to gain a foothold with his dream of Team Plasma, and Alistair's parents were welcomed as a sort of behind-the-scenes commander of a portion of Team Plasma, controlling operations and more. In this newfound power of theirs, his parents' plans had been realized as well, and Alistair was more or less indoctrinated into Team Plasma as a sort of lieutenant at such a young age. Only fifteen years old, and he already ranked among the petty grunts. At first, when he heard of Plasma's purpose, he understood their plight. Freedom of Pokemon from the oppression of trainers and their Pokeballs and more sounded like a worthy cause, not to mention he was able to see the whole of the Unova region whole enlisted with them. Alistair being taught that the methods of Pokemon trainers were evil throughout his whole childhood didn't help either, to be honest. He spent a few years in the company of Team Plasma, and during this time his perspective was altered greatly.

He was forced to steal Pokemon away from trainers, young and old, and to watch them cry and weep as their friends were removed from their presence. This was one fot he most saddening things to him; how were these trainers evil? They seemed to....love their Pokemon. His perspective of Team Plasma began to dwindle into a loathing for them after a series of cruel events after another, to which he finally had enough. After the events involving Reshiram and Zekrom, two Pokemon which Alistair revered very much, had rendered Ghetsis and Team Plasma weak and shattered, he went onto follow N in his plight of "freeing" Pokemon, along with a few others. Anthea and Concordia, N's caretakers since he was a boy, and even one of the Seven Sages joined N in his plight of continuing the work that Team Plasma should be doing. Having grown to be an influential figure in Plasma during its downfall, Alistair was welcomed alongside N, especially due to his compassion and remorse for the Pokemon that he had hurt. It has been around two years since the time that Team Plasma disbanded and Alistair followed N to a higher purpose.

Now, of his own will, he has traveled with his three companions to the Hoenn region, to combat the new oppression of Pokemon that has occurred...



Pokemon:

• Gabite "Draco"
• Male
• Ability: Sand Veil
• Moveset:
  • Dragon Claw
  • Dig
  • Dual Chop
  • Sandstorm
• History/Personality: Draco was the first Pokemon that Alistair had ever received. He first met Draco as an egg, back when he was fourteen years old and still living in the coastal Undella Town. Being very interested in Pokemon since he was a young boy, Alistair was downtrodden when he was not permitted to go on his own adventure at the age of ten. But, when he was fourteen a certain blonde-haired and very skilled woman paid a visit to Undella Town, one who was companions with a Garchomp herself. When she spoke to Alistair on the beaches of the town, she heard his little plight, and offered him something: an egg. The contents of the egg she wouldn't tell him, but he took it with eagerness, as she told him a "special Pokemon lie within". Soon enough, as he kept it secret from his parents, the egg hatched into a Gible, the Gible of which would become his greatest companion....even as he dwindled into the allegiance of Team Plasma and beyond.
  
  Draco has formed a deep bond with Alistair, and is not only a wondrous friend to him, but possibly his greatest protector. Very loyal to his trainer, Draco would fight tooth and claw for Alistair, all to keep him safe.

• Pawniard "Knight"
• Male
• Ability: Defiant
• Moveset:
  • Metal Claw
  • Iron Defense
  • Swords Dance
  • Night Slash
• History/Personality: The second in chronological order of the Pokemon that Alistair carries with him, "Knight" had a bit of a more tragic past than his other two companions. As a wild Pokemon, Knight traveled together with other Pawniard of his "clan", going about their typical business in the Unova region. Then, Team Plasma stumbled across the clan and captured all of them forcefully, in an attempt to put them to a sort of labor and become type of thugs for the Team. Knight, having been one of these, was subject to abuse and neglect from the defunct and rather evil Team Plasma that Alistair followed with an unaware mind at the time. Rather stricken by the sight of these starved and overworked Pawniard, Alistair devised a plan to rescue them in the dead of night. Sparing the details, he managed to take them away from the Team and release them back to where they were found, along with the help of a few other individuals in his plight. One Pawniard respected Alistair, seemingly, and chose to stay with him as a companion. This one was nicknamed "Knight", and accompanied Alistair while he dealt with a falling out from Team Plasma, which the event with the Pawniard led to.
  
  Knight has a personality similar, in a way, to Draco. He is fiercely defensive and loyal to Alistair, and trusts him with his life. However....he is also very untrusting of strangers to him. With him never being kept in a Pokeball, even now, he tends to hide around Alistair until danger rears up, then he becomes incredibly protective. Almost to a point of recklessness.

• Larvesta "Sol"
• Female
• Ability: Flame Body
• Moveset:
  • Sunny Day
  • Struggle Bug
  • Incinerate
  • Will-O-Wisp
• History/Personality: The last of the trio of Pokemon that Alistair carries with him, as opposed to the rest he carries, he acquired Sol after his true allegiance with the Team Plasma ceased and he went on to follow N in his plights. In a search effort that a few N's remnants made on the Relic Castle, Alistair found an egg left behind with an odd pattern, nestled in the sand. He took it in, and with the help of the others of N's remnants, managed to hatch it - which turned out to be a Larvesta. He has carried it with him ever since, along with his other two companions.
  
  Sol, being the youngest of the trio of Pokemon that Alistair has, is rather innocent and meek, while also being crafty. While definitely not as powerful as Draco or Knight, it being so clever pays off in ways. When camped out - or just in general occasions - Sol will manage to sneak away food or other items of interest without anyone noticing, building her own little treasure trove. Despite her cute quirks, she is a very loving and affectionate Pokemon, and shows that to nearly every Trainer, Ranger, or other kindhearted person she comes across. However, with her being more vulnerable than Draco and Knight, she is also the only one whom he uses a Rule Ball with, to preserve her safety.

Optional Section:

Personality: A bit of an outgoing sort, but not very much, in all honesty. In many cases, he doesn't tend to be a social butterfly, but he can make conversation like a normal person, as well as be all-around friendly and jovial. His most notable aspect is how passionate he is for his cause of Pokemon freedom - not from their Trainers, but from duress. He strongly wants to help Pokemon reach a better state, and these convictions tend to be what drives him forward in many cases. In all truth though, deep down, he has a bit of a lonesome heart...

Likes: Steel, Dragon, and Bug types in particular, among all other pokemon. Pokemon as a whole and their freedom. Other than that, he has an interest in reading of mostly historic subjects, as well as a bit of taste for the cuisine of the regions, especially Kalosian.

Dislikes: Unnecessary confinement of Pokemon, along with abuse and overall mistreatment of them. Also, Lava Cookies. They taste way too burnt.

And yes, Cami, I would appreciate the interaction. As long as I'm not a goddamn charity case, like I seem to end up in RPs. My character basically having no place in the major group. Hmmph.

[Aidannadia]

Ignacio(Nacho for short) is from Rustboro as well. He told Team Rocket info to help take the town, as well as was a notorious thief in the city. It'd be withing the realm of reality for her to recognize him if they were to meet.

You... realize how big Rustboro is, right? It's like the Chicago of the Pokemon World.

He certainly could have heard of her, since she is the daughter of the richest man in Hoenn. But unless he was unusually notorious, I doubt she would have heard about him.

To be fair, I did mention he stole from more well-off families due to a disdain and mistrust of the rich. I would assume that the Stone Family would be rather affluent, what with all of their exploits.

He certainly could have heard of her, since she is the daughter of the richest man in Hoenn. But unless he was unusually notorious, I doubt she would have heard about him.

To be fair, I did mention he stole from more well-off families due to a disdain and mistrust of the rich. I would assume that the Stone Family would be rather affluent, what with all of their exploits.

Which, somewhat ironically, they would support, since him robbing them would mean less competition.

But sure, we can do a Storyline like that. I try my best to be allowing without bending the established plot of the RP.

Interesting to see that Cynthia gave his first Pokemon to him. Accepted.

By the way, my OTP is Darksteelshipping, with Ferriswheelshipping forming a close second, also known as Steven x Cynthia. Look it up, the fandom is really awesome.

I tend to stay away from shipping stuff as a whole, but I love Cynthia :3

Also, I thought "Darksteelshipping" referred to Pawniards or Bisharps

Nope. Pawniards and Bisharps is Sharpsteelshipping. <---Clearly lying

The Darksteelshipping fandom is mostly made up of random fluff. The most you would get out of it would be an 'Awwww.' But if you don't want to read it, fine by me.

Uh.....who's the guy in the IC?

Ranger App

Name: Tai Roberts
Age: 22
Appearance (picture preferred):
Sex: Male
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Shamouti Island, Orange Archipelago
Moral alignment: Neutral

Biography: Born on Shamouti Island within the Orange Archipelago, Tai was raised between two contrasting cultures - the Island's traditional culture; with some saying that it was only kept alive by tourism and the Kanto-based culture that seemed to encroach ever closer. Thus, Tai didn't challenge the Orange Crew like his father and grandfather did - instead choosing to enter Ranger School and to become a pokemon ranger. Thus, becoming a pokemon ranger.... which was quite anticlimatic considering the previous three generations of his family had done the same thing.

Tai ended up in Hoenn after catching the wrong boat - having meant to be sailing for the Johto Region. Of course, before he could rectify his error, Hoenn's Ranger Union came in and... believing him to have been sent over, took him in. He didn't last long however, as the Ranger Union found itself disbanding soon after.

Partner Pokemon: Sableye

• "Saul"
• Male
• Keen Eye
• Moveset:
  • 1 Psychic
  • 2 Poison Jab
  • 3 Shadow Claw
  • 4 Brick Break
• History/Personality:
  
  Sableye, or Saul as Tai calls him was found when the Ranger School went to investigate a suspicious coal mine, which they believed was occupied by Team Rocket. They were wrong and instead were a colony of Sableye who were making mischief among the local populace in the nearest village. Saul actually followed Tai because of a carton of cookie ice cream im his pocket, being attracted by the smell. Saul is regarded to have perfect comedic timing by Tai and was the mascot for a short time of his local ranger school - surprisingly. However, in battle Saul tends to be hardworking and approaches every situation as if were a game of chess.

Optional Section:

Personality:
Likes: Ice cream, kayaking, the Weather Trio, Lugia, pink pokemon
Dislikes: Guys named Lawrence, funny looking airships, the Prophecy.

Specialshipping, obvs.

Ok, the big question we've all been waiting for is:

WHO WANTS TO SHIP

Ok, the big question we've all been waiting for is:

WHO WANTS TO SHIP

I want to ship in a large force in Slateport and move it up to Dewford to ship it out again, once the time comes, going D-Day all the way... other then that, I have to ask: Shipping of official Pokémon Characters or of Characters in this RP?

No reason to not allow that. Temp and I both love shipping.

Ok, the big question we've all been waiting for is:

You move quickly. But sorry, I already have a shipping Partner picked out for Alice, and Eleanor was my character that I created for non-shipping, and instead just to be a friend to Steven.

There's nothing we can do about it. The only one who can request for posts to be removed is Temp himself.

D-Day with Pokemon would be....interesting, to say the least.

And I mean our characters, of course!

D-Day in Dewford has already been planned by me and Tri. You can influence events in the beginning; it's just that it would be better if we went a certain way at Dewford.

I admit, when you put it like that so easily, I'm almost tempted to try it.

Key word being almost.

I don't understand. Are you Stevie's brother or something?
