GCEA: Sinnoh League (Sign-Up Forms) Open

[Rival Max]

(Times like this it comes in handy already having a finished character for another RP that I didn't have the time to join. Some slight tweaking and voilà! Also, when is the deadline for the Writing event? I might have time to write it tomorrow, but I don't know if this is starting then? What I mean to say is, is there a more specific deadline than when GCEA starts?)

Story Version: Pearl? I really don’t mind which, but Pearl has more exclusives I like…

Name: Neith Nimr

Age: 16

Gender: Female

Appearance: Neith has chestnut-brown skin and chin-length black hair with a strand of turquoise beads braided close to her left cheek. She has an average build, perhaps a bit on the short side. Her favorite clothes are a plain black short-sleeved shirt and trousers, with a navy blue jacket added when traveling.

Height/Weight: 5’3”, 116 pounds

Personality: Neith is very inquisitive, and once something catches her attention, she can become a bit obsessed with it. She is generally cheery and positive, and rarely gets angry or let others get to her. She spends most of her time online, and as such at times is slightly out of touch with the real world. She’s also not afraid to ignore any rules that she finds unnecessary.

Personal Traits that describe your character: Curious, obsessive, happy, bouncy, supportive, rebellious.

Backstory: Neith’s parents distrust with the Kalos education system led to Neith being home-schooled and taking online classes instead. As she grew up, she loved pokemon, helping her mother out whenever she could, and couldn’t wait until she could get her own. However, just before she was to get her own pokemon, she contracted a rare illness, causing her to miss her chance. Even after she recovered, her mother was too worried to let her leave, taking until recently to allow her to finally become a trainer.

1. Family: Neith’s mother, Sara Nimr, moved to Kalos after meeting her future husband, Liam Howard, where she works as a nurse in one of Lumiose City’s Pokemon Centers. Due to her job, she had little time to spend with Neith, and she was often called away when she did. Despite this, she is very supportive of her daughter, though a bit overprotective.

Her father, worked in the Kalos Power plant. After meeting Sara on a vacation to Unova, the two started dating, and eventually Sara moved to Kalos and the two were married, with him taking his wifes name. After Neith was born, Liam quit his job to focus on raising his daughter, becoming a stay-at-home dad and teacher.

2. Pokemon experience: Aside from the Porygon incident mentioned below, she learned a lot about how to care for injured pokemon from her mother due to her job.

3. Past experience that has defined your character: When she was 12, a few weeks before she was to get her first pokemon, Neith came down with a rare sickness, which caused her to be bedridden for close to a year. During this time she learned a lot about computers and how they work; starting with patching in dummied out content in video games, and moving on to coding her own add ons.

A couple of years later, she came across an abandoned Porygon 2; something had gone wrong in the evolution, and instead of it evolving normally, it had corrupted and glitched out, causing it to look halfway between Porygon 2 and Porygon Z. Neith took it home and attempted to help it, managing to do a “factory reset” back to it’s first form; a normal Porygon. Afterwards the family adopted it and seeing how Neith cared for it finally convinced Sara that her daughter was ready to become a real trainer.

4. Special Talents: PC coding/hacking.

Special Pokemon: The aforementioned Porygon? (Assuming that you mean we can’t have ones from Sinnoh instead of Kanto?)

Personal Goals: Meet lots of Pokemon and discover all she can about them, make some real-life friends.

Pet Peeves: People who break the rules to get an advantage themselves, People who abuser and/or abandon pokemon, Cars and other enclosed motor vehicles, or being stuck inside things full stop. (Travel sickness + Bedridden = this.)

Region: Kalos

Favorite Pokemon: Ninetales

Favorite Type: Fire

What starter Pokemon: Turtwig

Drawing or Writing: I’m fine with both. (And by fine I mean equally bad at :P)

Contest Starter: Fennekin

Side Notes:

To what extent would Porygon be used by your character.

To what extent would Porygon be used by your character.

Hmm, well I was thinking as a companion kinda like Chibi Altaria's RR character with the Mawile. Kinda a non-combat pokemon that travels with her, like Misty's Togepi.
I was thinking to not make it OP or give me an advantage, somthing would have gone wrong when it was reverted back to Porygon and now they can't use any moves or something, and so wouldn't be able to help with battles, with Neith trying to find a way to fix it as another personal goal, due to patially causing it in the first place. So it would pretty much only exist storyline wise, and wouldn't change the gameplay or anything.
Thouh if you don't want them to have a non-starter so soon, I can always have the pokeball malfunction and lock up so Neith can't access it until later on in the story?

Its interesting that you picked porygon. Part of the gcea cannon was my character max. Max uses a poketch like device that called upgrade. Upgrade is a Porygon. Kinda of in the fashion of what would become the rotom dex. Upgrade wrist computer essentially. Anyways I'm a big fan and as long as the pokemon wasnt really able to battle at least at first. I'm fine.

My main concern is that porygon actually is in the sinnoh pokedex. So to utilize yours in battle and count it towards your pokedex you'll have to meet the same requirements as others . Is that fine ?

Aaah! I thought I replied to this already! 0_0
Oh yeah, I can vaguely remember Upgrade from back when I binged one of the Kanto threads (the yellow one Yellow I think? I can't remember which now.) I'd totally forgotten about that, but that's a pretty cool coincedence.
Also, I somehow completely forgot Porygon-Z was a Gen 4 pokemon, so of corse Porygon's in the Sinnoh pokedex too. >_< But Yeah, I'm fine with those restrictions. :) And once again, so sorry for not replying. >_<

The holidays are coming up and this hasn't really moved forward. I liked the concept but worry about free time to start- is this on a hiatus for now or did you have a kickoff date in mind?

So I have got my a** into gear and finally made arrangements to start this.

We start in a week.

If you are still to make a SU, get cracking.

If you made a sign up and are still planning on playing, chuck us a "Present and accounted for".

Remember, there is still time to do the intro event to get a bonus Pokemon, so make the most of it! It will come in handy when we start.

Unless we get a sudden influx of new members, we will most likely do a single Platinum Version.

Ironed out story details last night, and it looks like it will be a pretty groundbreaking adventure!

[Neo Emolga]

Sorry to say but my plate's too full to jump in on this. I'm still managing Devolution Battle Royale and plus Winter Carnival just started.

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I'm interested. I'll try to get a sign up done xD

[Bulbasaur]

Is it actually going to start this time?

I just don't want to set aside time if it's not gonna continue. D:

[[Desolate Divine]]

we have a start date and i will make sure personally it starts. if it does you have my facebook account to slander and harass ;)
