Pokemon: The Fall of Hoenn (OOC, OPEN)

[Sabara]

tag for interest

[The Selkie]

My original plan was, that Domino basically gets bored of waiting and assumes direct control over the city, rousing and startling the local Aquas and organizing the defenses under the premise, that this weak attack a few days ago couldn't have been the main force's attack, more a distraction.
Then she gets to work thinking about winning the Hearts and Minds of the local population, while the local Aqua-guy in charge throws a fit. How does that sound?

The "local Aqua guy" is Archie for now. You're not usurping him. Maybe after he leaves, you might be able to go over the Aqua officer in Slateport, but that will be in a while.

Can we go with the hands-on approach then, please?
I just want to be safe, that we don't go off-course from the pre-planned main events, like the Dewford-Day, and then mess it up for everyone.

We understand, but Aqua outnumbers you in Slateport and could very well overwhelm you of you tried to take over.

Besides, if we want to make sure Dewford-Day stays on course, it would be best to have Slateport controlled by an NPC. If you like, though, you can go beat up some random civilians to keep you entertained.

Quick question before I head into making the bio for my character: Is Flareon/Fletchinder/Litleo combo ok? Fletchinder's evolution (fletchling > fletchinder) happens in the first post.

No. You can have a Fletchling, though.

Qart, every Pokemon owned by a Trainer has a ball. It's a fact. We already ruled on that.

So... I don't really care about the first post, but please note that in the future.

Now i'm confused:

Hmm.

I'll allow it, since they aren't, you know, fully evolved.

Whatever Grumpy Senpai says overrules me. I am but a Co-Op.

How about this: we give it one more try. If you still don't want to play, then quit. The story's barely started, I'd hate for you to miss what's coming.

Nah, i'm really not in the mood to start over and to re-write my entire first post, especially since things wouldn't make sence and such.
You just have fun and perhaps we'll see eachother again in another RP

Fair enough.

[Finland SSR]

I want to be the leader of the Hoennian Air Force during Dewford-Day. Pretty sure I am the only guy whose Pokemon is actually flyable.

Can I?

please...

You aren't, but go right ahead.

Unless Temp overrules me, of course, in which case don't do anything.

Anyway, maybe... someone wants to interact with Lucien in the Gym? If not, I'll just go back to training then.

Ah, I see, evil people doing evil things - I can do that. I would still like to have a meeting with Archie, ICly, to have my orders officially (not just Giovanni's "Go there and help Archie!") and to introduce him to Domino's idea of keeping control over Slateport - no usurping there.

I'll send my other character to interact with you. Warning: She hates Bug Pokemon and will murder you if you have them.

Happy conversation~

Sounds good. Just post. I'll control Archie.

WARNING: I may or may not slip some Archie x Maxie references in there.

After a quick Google Search, it turns out Archie/Maxie is called Hardenshipping. For some reason. Aaaaanyway, here's something adorable.

Then when the time comes, I'll take control as Archie.

I'll also probably make a Magma character. Because why not?

You just have fun and perhaps we'll see each other again in another RP

Peace man. See ya.

IDK why Jord said no. Seems fine to me. Flareon's a stone evolution anyways, so it doesn't feel that bad.

Unless Temp overrules me, of course, in which case don't do anything.

You seem a little bummed. It was just one time, lighten up!

You wanna talk, just ask. I can whip up a reason if you want some IC interaction.

Any shipping references (in that sense) and I'm taking Archie. Savvy?

Well, I let Domino do something not really nice, especially what Havoc did - I hope you can hook into it there using Archie and a security detail.

EDIT: And yes, I would like to talk.

Ranger App

Name: Nona Bindo
Age: 38
Appearance:

(Image) Best I could do.

Sex: Bi
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Virbank City, Unova
Moral alignment: Chaotic Good

Biography: Growing up in Virbank, Nona was never one to obey the rules, often getting in trouble in her childhood when she'd wander onto the construction sites in search for more fun things to do. Despite this, she always seemed to get on well with the Pokemon that both lived and worked around the city, and would always follow the rules if it was implied that Pokemon benefited from them being followed. When she was 10 Nona outright refused to become a Pokemon Trainer, refusing to put Pokemon she liked and respected into tiny little balls. Upon finding out about the Pokemon Rangers, Nona became determined to become one, seeing it as the perfect thing for her, being able to work alongside Pokemon, but not having to follow loads of rules or keeping those Pokemon she had in Pokeballs.

Attending Ranger School, Nona was disappointed by the amount of rules that a Ranger had to follow, although she pledged that she'd try to uphold those rules even if she didn't follow all of them. Passing through the school and gaining her own Styler, Nona was set to work out of the Ranger HQ, something that didn't excite like it would many others, as it meant she'd probably be closely watched to make sure she did what she was meant to, something she'd never been brilliant at. After a couple of years Nona was straining against the, what she thought of as a, tight ruleset that the Rangers seemed to have to follow, and following a couple of 'incidents' Nona was 'reassigned' to Lacunosa Town, a move that made her start to outright dislike the Ranger Union. Following her move Nona started to truly isolate herself, hating Lacunosa Town because of its strict rules and traditions, often causing her to spend time in the other cities and towns in the nearby vicinity. It also didn't help that plenty of Pokemon Trainers used the routes she walked, although Nona would occasionally challenge them with Pokemon from nearby whom she had bonded with due to her Styler.

During one of her patrols Nona came across a lone and wounded Drifblim, despite being scared of her at first, Nona was able to calm the Drifblim down and bought it back to her house in Lacunosa Town so she could help it heal naturally. The two bonded and Nona took it on as her first Partner Pokemon.

A fews years after that, Team Plasma appeared, and despite being interested and agreeing with some of their ideals Nona did not join with them, mainly because of the hypocritical way they used their Pokemon. After the original version of Team Plasma was defeated, Nona would sometimes journey to Driftveil City to talk with those who had truly fought for N's ideals, and indeed she tried to help them again when Ghetsis reappeared.

Upon hearing of the invasion and subsequent fall of Hoenn, Nona prepared to move regions once more to help how she could. For although she held a dislike for the Ranger Union and Pokemon Trainers in general, she hated those who treated Pokemon as tools, and after hearing of the Pokejammer, those who could refuse to allow Pokemon out of their Pokeballs to potentially starve or die. Viewing her joining of the Resistance as more of an alliance of convenience than anything else, she is prepared to help where she can.

Partner Pokemon:

• Drifblim "Drift"
• Female
• Unburden
• Moveset:
  • 1 Hex
  • 2 Clear Smog
  • 3 Charge Beam
  • 4 Psychic
• History/Personality: Nona originally found Drift wounded alone and scared on Route 13 one night as she returned from her patrol around Undella Town. Bringing Drift back to her house in Lacunosa Town, Nona proceeded to look after the Drifblim, having used her Styler to calm down the Pokemon. The two bonded over the time it took for Drift to heal, and so Nona took her on as her own Partner Pokemon. Drift is quite close to Nona, and can bring out a less cynical side in her. Drift is generally OK with other Pokemon, although perhaps due to her closeness with Nona, she does not like seeing Pokemon being recalled into Poke Balls. She also does not like other Drifblim and can act slightly scared around them.

Optional Section:

Personality: Quite cynical of others, not that friendly although willing to work with others if needed, a bit of a deadpan snarker and often uses sarcasm when speaking to others. A bit suspicious and curious of others, always tries to keep her guard up, not that she always does. A bit of liar, especially if it suits her, or if she believes it will help in the long run.

Dislikes:

I don't quite see how her gender could be 'Bi.' I do believe that you are confusing Gender for Sexuality.

Yeah, I did write most of this at 2:30 in the morning, so that probably explains it. Also, added pic to app.

I didn't say no- I said no to one particular Pokemon. But, again, your call.

I'm not bummed. This is happy me.

Well now her sex is Bi. Oh, dear.

See, when an app says Sex, they mean Biological Sex; whether he/she was born with male naughty bits or female Naughty bits. Gender is what your Character recognizes themselves as. A male could recognize himself as a female, for example. But when an app has sexuality on it, then that would be where you put Bi.

If you go back and edit the original app with the changes, accepted.

Though... someone's "Sex" isn't bi. Again, you're thinking of sexual orientation. "Sex" would be if they have female or male genitalia. "Gender" would be if they identify as he or she, to put it simply. Though gender can get complicated, for simplicity's sake we put "male" for normal-to-macho guys and tomboys, while "female" is for normal-to-girly girls and effeminate guys.

So don't worry about which way they bend. That can be told via the writing. But if you must, put it in the personality section.

Ranger App

Name: Tai Roberts
Age: 22
Appearance (picture preferred): This
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.
