Name: TheoreticalSelkie (Selkie for short)
WAR Experience: Not my first war, but I didn't do too much last war due to some school-related things.
Skills: Sprite Art/Pixel Art, ASB, RP (if it's not too unreasonable), maybe Showdown but I'm really rusty. Maybe other categories if they catch my eye.
Referrals/Promotion: DS and Velocity did it! IT WAS THEM. Also I really like birds. Flaming birds are even better. Muah.

Hey....doesn't mean we can't be just as awesome. xD

[bronislav84]

Hey....doesn't mean we can't be more awesome so they feel jealous and have to change their name because it's all about one descriptive word. xD

There, I fixed it for you Caite.

So yay we're in the War. If we win I'll eat a shoe cause I'm pretty sure it's severely imbalanced toward Trainer now, but hey at least we're in and have a shot in what seems to be all categories. Now I just need someone to cru-I mean give a motivational speech to in the RP. WTB evil team.

ANOTHER MEMBER! Totally epic, now we've got seven! Welcome to the crew, Selkie, it's a pleasure to have you!

Wow, thank you guys for making a day that was starting off bleak into something great!

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Yay congrats guys :D No need to worry!

Now that you're official, don't forget you can have your very own userbars! :O I generally make them, but since you are a graphic artist, you can make your own if you like @Neo Emolga. :) It needs to be no bigger than 128x40 px. Just PM it to me when it's done and I'll add it to the forum!

Mmm, mmm, MMM! I'm totally going for it!

ANNOUNCEMENT!

Okay, with the banners, I realize what Team Trainer is doing is making for very effective recruiting strategies by giving members totally customized banners (and they are cool). I have Photoshop, I have the skill, so there's NO reason why we can't do that as well and make for some hot and spicy competition! Also, I figured this would be a cool way to celebrate us reaching the member requirement to become official.

Therefore, if you want a completely customized Phoenix Battalion banner, I'm totally game for making them and really want to make these banners shine. I figured I could let the sample banners be the kind of style you'd like to go with when you tell me what kind of banner you'd like, but yeah, I think it would be better if everyone on the team had their own unique banner rather than copy paste the three that I have up there over and over again. Also, if you have a Phoenix Battalion banner already, I'm totally fine with you keeping it or requesting a new one.

So, if you want a custom banner, just fill out this easy form:

Banner Style: <You can put Sample Banner #1, #2, or #3 to get a banner that's similar in style to those that are in the first post, but if you have a link to another banner that you want me to make your banner similar to, let me know. I CAN do user bars, icons, and button-sized banners as well, so let me know if you want one of those instead!>
Name you want on the Banner: <Easy money, just mention the name you want to see on it>
Motto: <Could be your user title, your favorite slogan, a song title, whatever defines you!>
Pokémon: <Any Fire and/or Flying type (or Pokémon with Levitate) you'd like to see on it. Let's stick with two as the max. I might throw subtle cameos of Moltres and/or Ho-oh in the mix as well if I think they look good in there. But the Pokémon you pick will be at the forefront.>

Also, this was my banner shop on Serebii. Again, if there's something on there you like that you want me to base your banner off of, let me know. I'm flexible!

NOTES:

• All banners will stick to having a fiery-colored theme. It's only natural! So yeah, expect lots of red, orange, yellow, and black. Burn, baby, burn!
• I will try my ultimate best to make the banners as cool as possible. I won't stop until it becomes something I'm going to have to struggle giving up!
• I'm going to go with a first come, first serve policy on banner creations. I'll try my best to get to everyone.
