[WAR] Role Play: Terminus (Sign-Ups)

[Lord Celebi]

Bron, only thing is that, like I said, Whitehall is very hands off. He wouldn't be the one to pay for your operation. Raidon, on the other hand, would probably game.

Accepted, pending all mentions of Whitehall are Raidon.

[bronislav84]

So he doesn't want mercenaries? What the heck kind of leader is he?

Would Raidon have the money to research this, though? You didn't make it clear. I thought hands off meant he doesn't care what he funds as long as it gets him results.

So how would you recommend I rewrite that? Just change the name? Easy, but making sure.

PSST, might wanna update the first post with people who were accepted. Like those from Awesome for example.

Another thing. I made a VERY CRUDE reorganized map for this RP: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rthpxrwar1.jpg I know it's incredibly hack and slash, but the locations are correct to the locations we need. Sinnoh is attached to Fiore, but I didn't want to cover anything and obviously the routes don't connect, so that's up to people to work out for themselves. Whoever feels this is too terrible, can YOU do a better job? If you can't shut up lol. Please put this in the first post somewhere rusty.

[Homura]

Name: Jans "Agricola" Hanson
Gender: Male
Age: 45
Team: Team Awesome

Description: Jans stands at 5 foot, 4 inches tall, weighting roughly at around 150lbs. His hair is grey-ish with strands of dark brown tied in a ponytail, clearly with a receding hairline. To hide that fact, he generally wears a baseball cap. His facial features is a bit on the plump side, with rounded features. He is generally more unkempt with facial hair. His blue eyes seem to betray his looks. His physical condition is more on the lacking side, with a clear beer belly, but not quite large enough to be a complete hindrance to his movements.

Personality: Jans is a vengeful human being, and is generally very lazy on his movements. He'd prefer not to do anything rather than do something, but his profit motive is very high. Given his status as a spy, he likened himself as a superhero, but in reality he is living a dream. He has a short temper, and easily gives in to jealousy. Under that, he is not sociable the slightest, preferring to live in his room. Of course, if there was profit to be had, he may...reconsider things.

Background: At a young age, Jans was a social outcast, destined to do no right in his life. His father was an ordinary plumber, but a drunk. To supplement for the incredible amount of money his father used for drinking, his mother did odd jobs around their hometown in Olivine City. He also had a brother, who was incredibly brilliant, a fit boy from the start, athletic, and smart. His brother, 5 years his elder, was considered the boy dream as he was the odd duck who was "Victor's little brother". Even most of his possessions were simply hand-me-downs from his brother.

It was one day that he, at a young age fell in love with a girl in Victor's class. Her name was Jessica. However, fate had played him a fool. Long story short, she tricked him into having a date with her, but instead ended up humiliating him in front of her classmates. With his reputation tarnished amongst the kids, he set out to ruin Jessica. It was during this time his brother gave him his old laptop. He took two months straight to learn how to hack, and hacked into Jessica's computer, ruining her reputation. That was his first job.

Over time, he dropped out of high school, and continued to shut himself in, hacking. His father, mother, and brother thought he was a simple shut-in, and denounced him despite continuing to support him. Jans took on more and more difficult tasks, and hacked into Harper Industries for company secrets. Fate had it that he would be caught by Oliver Harper himself.

Harper, however, saw what was in him, and instead hired him to be his computer man. Using the wealth and the power of computers, he took the job of keeping Harper Industries safe in the cyber world, and he would hack against other companies to steal their secrets. Of course, he made deals with the likes of Alastair Harper (whom he thought was a jerk, rather than "nice"), as long as the paycheck kept coming in from his end. The job was mutually beneficial for all parties involved.

Jans was able to pay for his parents to move to the Orange Islands, lavishing them with wealth and currency that his brother Victor could not bring. Victor? Jans hadn't had contact with him for years.

Pokemon: *Note, he bought most of these pokemon, which is why they aren't...very good.
Haunter, Jigglypuff, Smeargle, Magneton, Vullaby, Reuniclus

Other: Victor may show up. Also, part of his job does require him to do stealth action as well.

I think that's what you wanted, right boss?

[Lord Celebi]

I think that's what you wanted, right boss?

You're good to go, Bron.

Kenny is accepted.

[bronislav84]

Cooll, thanks.

Please update the first post with accepted players, and also I posted a map in post 22 that you should include in the first post somewhere too. It's not epic, but it's better than nothing. I think it would be a good reference for locations as we're using them in this RP. When you get a chance, I mean.

[TheProtobabe]

Name: Helena Gray
Gender: Female
Age: 22, but looks much tinier and younger. Her face fits her age, however.
Team: Team Awesome
Description: Helena looks entirely diminutive when compared with people of average height, even other women. Not only is she short at only 4'11", her body is slender and fine-boned. She has a thin face and slim, long limbs in relevance to her body. Her large, oceanic eyes stand out on her face. Her fine, chocolate brown hair is always pulled back into a braid or ponytail, but cascades down to her shoulderblades when let down. She is olive-skinned and looks strikingly beautiful, though she pays no attention to the aesthetics of her features.

She generally wears close-fit, comfortable clothing that suits a wide range of movement. She is almost always sporting brown leather fingerless gloves and prefers long-sleeved items. She often wears breathable sneakers, never clunky, and is light on her feet. She dons no jewelry or trinkets, save for a single earring on her right ear. This earring holds the Burst stone she needs to trigger fusions with her Pokemon team.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Sexuality: Asexual (possibly demisexual)
Personality: Helena has a cold, clinical personality. She has a direct and blunt approach to everything--black and white. She comes up with the most logical or literal explanation for events, applying Occam's Razor whenever possible. She is almost never emotional or perturbed--in fact, there are few who have ever seen her as anything but her blank, stoic self. She has amazing concrete intelligence. She can memorize, analyze, or recall anything she hears or sees. She uses these facts and logic quickly to fashion tactics in the moment. However, she is not particularly creative or imaginative.

Helena is reclusive and generally stays alone. She has no real sense of empathy or compassion for others and tends towards selfishness. She has erased her need for intimacy and relationships on every level, making her a terrifying sort of person to be around at times. At most, she has comrades, though she rubs too many the wrong way to become friendly with them. She feels that she has no need for true friendship and is satisfied to keeping relationships professional or polite. Deep down, she may even fear relationships and attachments as weaknesses. She thinks being detached makes her less emotionally compromised. She has ambitions to hone her skills and become more powerful in her own right, fed from the fear of being weak.

She has an incredible sense of stubbornness and control. This adds to her unflappable demeanor. There has not been a single person who could truly strike fear into her. She believes in 'an eye for an eye', more in fairness and justice than true revenge. She meets every challenge to the fullest and defeats opponents swiftly to discourage them. So far, she has won nearly every fight she's been in, especially as she gains more experience. She will never back down, believing it makes her stronger and more respected or feared.
She rarely seeks fun or enjoyment, other than the knowledge of successfully completing a task set out for herself or someone else. Helena likes the security of her own strength.

Background: Helena was born and given away immediately to a foster home in the slums of Goldenrod City, where she, as the smallest and weakest child, was constantly bullied. She quickly decided that to be safe, she needed to seclude herself and become stronger or learn to be stealthy. Her food was often bullied away from her so she took to stealing, becoming good enough to never have been detected.

At the tender age of seven she took to the streets, hating being confined by the home's walls and mean-eyed brats. She lived in dark alleyways and abandoned buildings, slipping away from police every time they thought they'd caught up to her after a theft. She relished in her own power and skill as a thief and a scrapper, though one day the tiny girl was cornered by a rough-and-tumble gang who tired of her stealing their things. She took a few of the huge gang members down until one got in a lucky blow with his steel baseball bat, and Helena crumpled in a heap to the ground. They would have killed her if not for a man coming to her rescue.
Later, she woke in the man's house, and he introduced himself as Kenji. Feeling hateful towards herself, she told him she'd repay him however she could--however, he waved it off before offering to teach her to fight properly. He'd seen how she fought in the street and saw potential in her. He offered her the one-time opportunity to train under him and learn to really fight, and she took it with hardly any hesitation.

A day came when Johto fell into chaos. War and economical hardship ravaged the country, hitting Goldenrod particularly hard. She learned of Lance's parents and his part in Harper Industries, and though she did not particularly feel that she should be sorry for him, she respected him for wanting to get Johto back on its feet.

In the midst of this, Helena managed to get her hands on a Burst orb. She obtained this by stealing from those who had stolen from Kanto--stealing from thieves. Knowing full well what this item could do, she quickly obtained a Pokemon team. This was harder than she anticipated, however, and took quite a few years. Every single one of her Pokemon team are previously abandoned or unwanted Pokemon that were deemed too weak or unspecial. Not that she did this on purpose, they were simply the easiest to obtain, since nobody cared that they went missing.

Skills: She was classically trained at a late age in several schools of fighting. However, her self-invented stealthy style slips in quite often in her own brand of fighting. Her trainer tries to break her out of this habit, though he has not succeeded quite yet.

Helena is fast and thinks fast. She's not intelligent in the book-sense, but she is very good at evolving tactics quickly in her head to get out of bad situations.

She is very good at pickpocketing, general stealing, hotwiring, and anything else you can think of having to do with thievery.
Weaknesses: She does not work very well with others. She's anti-social and aloof, and often comes off as rude or blunt. She has no real desire to be liked. This probably means that she is difficult to work with in her team, though she does not go out of her way to be a detriment to them. Her overall goal is to become stronger by obtaining an Ancient Burst stone and honing her skills in combat and Pokemon battle.

She's not a powerhouse. She uses tactics, stealth, and speed as her ally. Helena is tiny and easily hurt if someone more skilled gets in a good hit.

[Akaida]

Name: Vince “Taegon Erenor” McAden
Gender: Male
Age: 42
Team: Team Aqua

Description: Taegon is 6’5’’ and a tank of a man. He has a large, bulky, muscular body, looking only just a bit smaller than your average NFL lineman. His dirty blonde hair has become long and has bits of seaweed throughout it and his beard. He wears scavenged armor and robes of black and blue. He often carries with him a large machine gun as his weapon of choice. Taegon is incredibly intimidating between his bizarre appearance and his large towering body.

Personality: While Vince was a caring, loving and kind man, much of that has disappeared with his rebirth as Taegon. He has become fanatical; valuing only the opinion of who he believes is his god, Kyogre. Taegon has an aversion to anything related to fire but sees water as healing. Fanatical, obsessed with water, Kyogre, more involved in the “spiritual” side of Aqua. His loud booming voice and excellent speech skills have led to him being incredibly charismatic which has led to many joining his following. Taegon has not lost his confidence from his previous life, but can also be a bit foolish due to this confidence, especially when he puts so much faith in Kyogre. His lack of any experience in combat or war also makes him a poor battle commander, but that does not deter him from throwing his fellow crazed followers into danger or harm’s way.

Background: Vince McAden was a fairly regular man who lived right off the cost of Lilycove City in a wonderful beach house. He was an average businessman, with a loving wife and two kids. He had endured no particular hardship that would be distinguishable in his early years. There was simply nothing exciting or different about Vince. However, when war broke out, a naval battle between Hoenn and Orre ended up causing a massive tidal wave from the warships and Pokemon. It had engulfed just about all of Dewford Town, destroying homes, shops and all manner of buildings and structures. There was no time for Vince or his family to react as their house was demolished, and Vince’s family nowhere to be found. Vince was unconscious amidst the wreckage of his home. He had a vision, in which he was standing on a beach and the water was engulfing him.

He could clearly see at the head of the wave was the great legendary Kyogre. A voice emitted saying, “Vince McAden, you will be reborn from these waters I bring, as Taegon Erenor. You will lead these people to bring the people back to my waters of rebirth.” Vince had awoken from his unconsciousness coughing out water and looking around to realize his home was destroyed and his family not having the same luck as him. However, he did not awake as Vince but Taegon as his dream had told him. From there, Taegon gathered all other survivors from the wreckage of Dewford and declaring that they were all reborn because of Kyogre’s graciousness. With these people losing everything, and the Hoenn government only trying to hide the disaster in Lilycove, they had no choice but to follow the charismatic man.

However, there was little Taegon’s force of insurgents could do when most of Dewford was demolished. One day, he was contacted by a man who said he represented Raidon Makoto. If he and his forces were to join his organization, Team Aqua, then he would have his vengeance and his mission accomplished, provided he followed orders. With no other option, and fueled by a fanatical desire, Taegon accepted and him and what he dubbed fellow Followers of Kyogre, were secretly transported off of Dewford and in the forests between Fortree City and Mauville City, with one goal and mission: recruit more and disrupt Hoenn. Taegon, now with the manpower and resources from Aqua, he was set up for success and his desire would only see it through.

Pokemon: Swampert, Hariyama, Kingdra, Gyrados, Metagross, Golduck,
Other: Being such a large burly man he carries a machine gun.

@bronislav84

I've gotten many concerns from members and staff with your character for the somewhat explicit content. As forum rules say, content needs to be at least PG, and also, it's often a bad move to mention something possibly being NSFW and posting it without at least spoiler tags. If it's NSFW, it's not to be posted here. Anything that people are worried about being past PG-13 are normally run through me for avoiding this kind of situation. Now the images aren't that explicit but the first one with the mug shot is a bit much. The history and the specifics of puberty were also a bit much.

Comments must abide to PG standards, as our content is viewable by all age groups, races, and religious groups. Hate speech toward any persons, races, age groups, religious groups, or works will not be tolerated and will be removed.

Full post here.

So in short, mature content that may not be suitable for all audiences and the lack of keeping it PGish is in violation of the forum rules. This needs to be changed. The mature content needs to be removed and the written works need to be edited to be made less obvious as to what they are to keep within forum rulings, if you want to keep it, or removed completely from the post itself.

[bronislav84]

Guns and blood and killing people is definitely not PG. This whole RP is above the PG marker. War is messy. It will happen.

Now how would you have me change it without completely destroying the character concept? She is in no way completely naked. It's close, sure, but nowhere are explicit parts actually showing. The character's choice of basic outfit and bust size is meant to be comic relief. You're taking it too seriously I think. I don't want to break the rules of course, so help me out without the character concept being destroyed please.

For the images is it just the first image that's much? That can poof if you're sure it has to go. The puberty description in the history is a major part of the character, though. Please explain how you want it edited so the character concept can be preserved.

-----------------------------------------------
Without getting some help I can only guess, and I've removed mention of specific body parts and clarified that she is covered where it counts. Also put the entire post in spoilers, though yea, it's not that explicit. What else would need to be done to make it acceptable without ruining the character concept? Sure I shouldn't keep the first image in there, or is spoilering it fine? Is it maybe acceptable now?

I swear in no way am I purposefully trying to break rules. Please, work with me here.
