[SU/DS] Hoenn Enigma - Seeds of Secrets

[Neo Emolga]

Hoenn Enigma - Seeds of Secrets


THE WRONG TURN

Hoenn, Route 110.

For the longest time, the Trick House, owned by the seemingly anonymous and enigmatic "Trick Master," has been a local attraction that tests the wit and ingenuity of passing trainers and rewards them for successfully solving the puzzles within. Often described as a perplexing fun house, most trainers came and went never suspecting a thing and found it makes for a simple conversational piece among those that come upon it.

You were one of many trainers that were curious enough to see what the Trick House was about, and decided to test your wit against it...

...but while navigating the perplexing mazes and obstacles, you took a wrong turn, found a hidden staircase that descended further downward, and ended up discovering the Trick House was home to a stranger perplexing fun house the further underground someone went. As you tried to discover more about it, it became almost like an illogical dream wonderland labyrinth, where one door seemingly opened up into a whole new hidden world outside with meadows and plains, but then became something entirely different when a person tried to turn back the way they came from. Suddenly, the way you came in was no longer the exit...

You suddenly became very lost, and your conception of reality and logic has been rendered useless. Simply trying to head upstairs or dig your way out hasn't been working at all and instead leads into strange and bewildering rooms and areas that defy reality. Every turn you make leaves you wondering if you're making progress escaping, or simply descending hopelessly deeper and deeper into an enigmatic Buneary hole.

But you've discovered you haven't been the only one to discover the darker passage and descend into the darker, stranger, and deeper secrets of the Trick House. The discovery of Pokémon in these strange, impossible "rooms" was a welcome sight at first, until you discovered they were once humans. Other rooms contained fantastical creatures seemingly out of a fairytale, but they too were trainers just like you, and some of them are still searching for a way out while others have completely given up. But they all gave you the same warning:

"Don't eat or drink anything!"

However, the clock is ticking. The many hours you've spent lost in the Trick House Underground can easily become days, which will lead to starvation if you refuse to eat and drink the seemingly tempting but unsettlingly strange fruits, foods, and beverages found in many of the fantastical but strange areas of the Trick House Underground... if that's even where you still are...

All the while, questions keep coming to mind. Who really is the Trick Master? Is he even human, or is he hiding an even darker secret about himself and what he has created here? And what is the purpose and meaning behind the Trick House Underground? Or maybe those questions were never meant to be solved...

It's up to you... to still find a way to escape with or without your humanity... or brave it out and try and discover the hidden secrets and real meaning of the whole Trick House to save everyone still trapped inside it...

KNOWN DISCOVERIES

Even though you don't know very much about the Trick House underground, you know at least these things:

Getting transformed seems to be a common occurrence in the Trick Room Underground. Eating or drinking anything will transform you, and the same goes for your Pokémon too! However, it's been a while since you all last ate, and obviously you don't want yourself and your Pokémon to starve. Meanwhile, that's not the only way you might find yourself as no longer human. Maybe there's a way to reverse the inevitable transformations... maybe not... but who knows for sure?
The Trick House Underground is essentially a nonsensical wonderland that defies reality and instead feels more like the craziest dream you've ever endured... only now it's real. Doors will open up to outside worlds where you can breathe underwater, potentially sprout wings and fly, walk on walls, and other similar wonders. However, bear in mind that there are both captivating rooms and horrifying ones. But you never know what vital nooks and crannies of the Trick House Underground may contain clues...
Mirrors, doors, and elevators have especially weird effects that contain interchangeably different passageways or exits to "outside" areas. Books, papers, and anything with text will often have cryptic, strange, and bewildering messages.
As grim as it might sound, dying doesn't really seem to be an escape from the Trick House Underground as some of the new "residents" have told you. You'll simply wake up somewhere else inside it... possibly as something or someone else!

Of course, you're bound to discover more strange rules that the Trick House Underground follows. But by piecing together the puzzle, maybe you'll find the solution that finally sets everyone free...

RULES

Follow the basic Pokémon Crossroads rules and the RP rules.
God-modding is very loose on this one. As long as it doesn't get too ridiculous, the more you let your imagination run wild, the better, and it's allowed to go pretty far on this one, just so as long as it's not detrimental to other RPers.
No direct bunnying, although you can slightly influence what happens to other people.
Keep it PG-13 and under. Some areas of the Trick House Underground can be dark and scary, but they're not excessively gory, vulgar, or perverted.

Also, include your character's name in the header, as well as their... "location." This also helps other RPers (however that happens) to find you and interact with your character.

As a very imaginitive RP'er, this is a dream come true kind of RP. If I was actually in that place though... Sounds more like a very real nightmare.

Are we allowed to make a character that has already "Transformed" into a pokemon from eating the food/water/dying?

[Noblejanobii]

*bounces up and down in anticipation* Bruh please yes I neeeeeds this. Though we may not want to let my imagination run wild. XD

[SassySnivy]

I'm so glad this is getting the attention it deserves...so far, anyway! This is a wonderful and original concept, but simulataneously simple to the point where it can develop into something much deeper. I can't wait to see when it starts!!

Actually, this is a REALLY, REALLY good question. I'm going to say yes (in fact I might make a character that's already been altered), and because of that, I'm also going to add two more things to the character sign up:

Current State: <If they're still human or if they've been transformed and/or altered into something else>
Entrapment Length: <How long they've been stuck in the Trick House Underground>

And it's not just Pokémon, they could have been transformed into just about any sentient creature. Alterations are also possible, such as some food or drink causing your character to shrink, grow giant-sized, change color, or other weirdness. Plus, once you've been transformed, eating or drinking something else could change you into something else again. Sometimes that might be helpful in bypassing some of the room's obstacles, and sometimes it might make the situation worse.

And yeah, I agree with you if this were really a thing. I think it would only be fun if you could leave whenever you wanted and be returned to normal.

DO IT! I want to see how crazy your imagination can make this when it can go as far out as it wants. XD

I know you're not too into RPing, but hey, we'd love to have you and I'll try to keep things easy-going if this happens to be your first or at least the first one you've done for a while. Your character can't really permanently die anyway (it's like an even more twisted version of the movie Groundhog Day!), so there's nothing to lose.

But if you'd rather just watch the craziness, that's fine. And hey, joining in later works just fine also once you've seen how it rolls along.

[Noblejanobii]

ADO IT! I want to see how crazy your imagination can make this when it can go as far out as it wants. XD

Oh no you don't. The insane, twisted side of my mind is… well… I don't know. AWA1997 how would you describe my imagination when we let it run wild?

[Neo Emolga]

Oh no you don't. The insane, twisted side of my mind is… well… I don't know. AWA1997 how would you describe my imagination when we let it run wild?

LET IT GO WILD! I'll sign a waiver if it's necessary! Now you've really got me curious. XD

[Noblejanobii]

LET IT GO WILD! I'll sign a waiver if it's necessary! Now you've really got me curious. XD

Well, the good half of my imagination can be very creative and come up with very wild but fun adventures. However, I do have an insane side to my imagination that usually plays heavily into the more villainous characters. Since this is PG-13, I'll tone it down a bit, but don't say I didn't warn you.

Hahah, I understand what you mean! I guess it's not that I'm unsure, it's just that I have to have a certain feeling to roleplay otherwise I just can't do it. I just have to crave RP'ing somehow. It happens sometimes but it's pretty rare. xD

But thank you for the invite! And who knows? Maybe time will tell differently! I guess we'll just have to see.

Awesome! I'll probably make one of each (One that's been in for a while and one that's new to the place) better start planning!

That's because Neo is pretty much the best RP maker ever. He clearly puts a lot of thought and effort into making these, and it really shows. Even if the RP community on PXR is small, we're all really lucky to have tried his Roleplays.

Sounds awesome, now you've gotten me even more pumped for this! XD

And hey, feel free to use both the dark and wild stuff. Trust me, not everything we face in this RP is going to be friendly.

Hey, not a problem! Sign ups are always open (I almost never close them for my RPs), so if you'd rather watch the craziness first and jump into the wild waters later, I'm totally fine with that. But yeah, I'm sure even just reading along with this is going to be a wild ride.

Yeah, I need to write up my character also. I was going to do it tonight, and now it's well past midnight over here. Hopefully I'll have it in tomorrow, but I'm still working on how I'm going to be starting him off.

And thanks, those are some pretty high compliments! I'll admit, I have an extremely wild imagination, I have crazy daydreams, and the dreams I have at night can sometimes be extremely wild and rowdy, but are still very satisfying in a way. That, and there's a nearly limitless amount of video games, books, and movies I use for inspiration.

[Chakramaster]

Hmm, after thinking about it for a while I may try and come up with a character and join. I need something crazy like this to expand my thinking since I've been trying to start writing something recently (of course Pokemon related). So this could be what I need to help me in my thoughts. Of course I'll probably come up with a few questions before I ask (being as curious as I am....and kinda picky in character designs etc).

[AWA1997]

Neo, to give you an idea of Jan's insane half, allow me to direct you to the site I have set up for the many universes of A Single Element and her story of the Madness Mage who became known as Jack the Ripper. Warning: This story is not for those who do not do gore well and could easily be considered well above PG-13. Anyone who follows the link, you have been warned.

No prob, dude, ask away. It's great to have you with us and yeah, I imagine this will be one heck of a ride. This is the kind of RP that could be run a thousand times and it'll be different each and every time.

http://mage-book.freeforums.net/thread/71/final-victim

Thankfully, I do gore just fine. I've played my generous share of Shadow Man 64, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and more zombie games than I can count on my fingers and toes. So I've seen some pretty f-ed up things.

...BUT, holy crap, Batman, that was definitely pretty dark and twisted, nonetheless. I could swear I started hearing the theme from Saw. Now, while the Trick Master is less like Jigsaw and more like the god of Alice's Wonderland, that's still not to say that the Trick House Underground is all peaches and cream either. As mentioned before, some trainers have given up trying to escape and have been stuck in there for years. You can only imagine what that does to them with their minds and bodies changed and warped around so many times in a labyrinth world that totally violates all sense of reality.

[AWA1997]

That is honestly the darkest I have ever seen her get, but still, she has that potential, and she may be able to get worse. I just figured that if anything could give you an idea of why she was warning you about it, that would.

Also, I would join this, but you can ask Jan, I'm not the best when it comes to doing much of anything with RPs. We have private RPs on another site, and most of the time I'm coasting off of her and add next to nothing to the story or anything.

[Noblejanobii]

BRUH! You didn't have to show him the Jack the Ripper story. Then again, that probably was the best warning you could give. But BRUH!!

Also, yeah, we jokingly call AWA "Mr. One-liner" on the other site we're on together. He's good about it when he knows what to do but he's usually not the most creative of persons.

Still, I'm interested in this roleplay and when I get the time I'll sign up officially.

[AWA1997]

XD What you gonna do about it?

I think that's just you.

It's not a problem, what you've been doing in A Single Element is totally fine. I'm not expecting huge and massive blobs of TL:DR RP stuff, so no worries about that.

Awesome, I'm definitely happy to have you two along. :D

But yeah, you've got pretty solid horror story skills. I haven't had too many shots at horror myself, but at least I know who to go to for advice.

[Neo Emolga]

Name: Jonathan Bradshaw
Age: 22
Gender: Male

Appearance: As a human, Jonathan stood roughly 6'2" and weighed about 180 pounds. He also had a lightly-tanned skin tone, long and spiky black hair, and brown eyes. Meanwhile, he had an slightly athletic frame thanks to lots of running and plenty of traveling as a Pokémon Trainer in Hoenn.

He also had a black t-shirt with a tribal tattoo pattern of a Lugia on it as well as a pair of blue jeans, white sneakers, and a gray digital watch. Jonathan, thanks to his savings, had just about all the latest technology for tracking Pokémon and communications. He didn't have a PokéDex, however, as Professor Birch couldn't get him to be bothered to fill it up even if he was paid a million bucks to.

Current State: A very adorable Cinccino.

However, given he's been transformed at least two dozen times and this is definitely one of the least-pesky transformations he's had to deal with (he's had to put up with being a Clefairy made of chocolate and an action figure-sized wooden doll among slews of other strange things), he would be absolutely overjoyed if getting stuck as a cute and fluffy chinchilla Pokémon for the rest of his life was all that happened after escaping. Besides the fact he could get a Pokéball lobbed at his face for being what he is right now, he could at least appear in public and not cause people to freak out!

Personality: Jonathan is very much a sarcastic realist and is pretty cynical in ways that often causes others to laugh. He knows he has horrible, horrible luck, but there isn't a chance he isn't going to make some remarks about it while it tries to bring him down. He can tolerate people for a little while, but if they start doing stupid or insane things, he really loses patience with them. He isn't big on leadership also, as he finds a lot of people have trouble getting on the same page as him when it comes to ideas and how to approach things. Another thing he really dislikes is people who can't stop talking.

His whole reason for entering the Trick House in the first place? It wasn't so much curiosity, but after losing two sour Pokémon battles on Route 110 (one of them being against a guy he had no clue was packing a Mega Charizard X with him), he got bored, felt he needed a break, and decided to check it out... never suspecting a thing. Besides, the prospect of free rewards was enticing, as Jonathan didn't have much money left after having to fork some of it over to those winning trainers.

Now that he's been stuck in the Trick House Underground for weeks and weeks, he's pretty much freaked out that no one will ever notice he's gone, thinking he's just out adventuring in Hoenn and everything's fine and dandy. His goals have been changing around, often just wanting to escape while other times he is determined to find the Trick Master and put him in a coma.

History: Jonathan was born in Rustboro City to a relatively apathetic mother and father that really had no qualms letting Jonathan do his own thing and then eventually go on a Pokémon journey when he was of the age to do it. Jonathan also managed to talk his father into spending all kinds of money to get him equipped with the latest gear.

Jonathan often had to work harder than others to get the badges he needed. Some of his Pokémon were not very cooperative at the start, but because of that, he found trading with others from other regions to be a better prospect. He'd often catch Pokémon, try training them for a while, and if they gave him an attitude, didn't cooperate, or were just lazy, off they went! As a result, Jonathan ended up with a team of Pokémon across many regions, trading with Pokémon Trainers across the Global Trade Station.

By doing this, he figured out what sources had what kinds of regional Pokémon, and after keeping a few electronic logs and building a website called PokemonTraderHub.com where others could share their information, he figured if battling ever completely dropped dead as a viable prospect and he had no chance of ever making it to the Pokémon League, he at least had a Plan B...

...but that was until he stumbled into this mess. Beyond just trying to "survive," Jonathan's been trying to crack the code and logic behind the Trick House Underground, but he hasn't had too much success with it. He's convinced one of these days, he'll figure out some kind of glitch or gimmick, but lately, hope of that has been fading. But, unlike many others still trapped in this bizarre realm, he could never wrap his head around the idea of just settling down in there forever.

Pokémon: Leafeon, Quilava, Skarmory, Zweilous, Pachirisu, and Floatzel. Unfortunately, Jonathan no longer has possession of them and has no idea what happened to them.

Entrapment Length: About a month.

Other: Jonathan has realized that his Pokémon Trainer Gear, including his PokéTech, radio, and X-Transceiver (while he still had them), had strange reactions to the Trick House Underground. He has a few untested theories about that, but it's all he has. Just theories.

Question, what Pokemon are allowed to be carried or transformed into?

[Neo Emolga]

Question, what Pokemon are allowed to be carried or transformed into?

Any. Yes, that includes Shaymin! And you're welcome. :)

[Noblejanobii]

Any. Yes, that includes Shaymin! And you're welcome. :)

XD YES!! I love how you just knew I was requesting Shaymin.

[AWA1997]

I'll just sit back and watch this RP unfold for a bit before I decide whether to join or not.

And I'm actually doing better in ASE here than in most RPs on the other site. To give you an idea, two people (including Jan) were RPing with long posts, and I came in randomly with one sentence just to show I was still there XD

It was such a moving post though. "Blake launched a dark pulse at Leo." Truly a work of art.

I know I'll probably have more questions as it progresses (one it starts), but for now just a few basic questions to help start out I guess lol. yeah it being my first (technically first real) RP here on PXR I just wanna make sure I don't start it out wrong or....in a bad way xD.

-So I've got you can decide on how long they've been there, but do you "have" to be a trainer (carrying Pokemon even though you can just say they "disappeared?"

-The transformations last until they eat/drink something else?

-No godmodding, but that doesn't rule out our characters being used in each others posts? (yeah, lol shows how much I've seen the RP posts around here =3)

-Are there limitations to these transformations in any way or is it an all-out anything goes?

may have more after it starts (or after I come up with a sign-up post. Just had a few thoughts on my mind is all.

[Neo Emolga]

Not a problem. ;)


-So I've got you can decide on how long they've been there, but do you "have" to be a trainer (carrying Pokemon even though you can just say they "disappeared?"

Nah, you don't have to be a trainer. If you want to have a character in some other role, such as a breeder, professor, or whatever, I'm perfectly fine with that also. As far as the Pokémon themselves go, there's quite a lot of situations that might cause you to lose them (in Jonathan's case, transformations caused him to lose his belt of Pokéballs along with the rest of his clothes, but I'll go more into that once the RP actually starts). You could be a trainer that still has them. I'm just personally having one of Jonathan's personal side-quests be the retrieval of his Pokemon belt.


-The transformations last until they eat/drink something else?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. That's really up to you to decide. For example, you could have it where the first food or drink your character consumes turns them into a Pikachu (using this as an example because he's your favorite) permanently. The next food or drink then makes them shrink to become a Pikachu that's only a few inches tall, but that one is temporary and after a short while, you're back to normal Pikachu size (but still a Pikachu). And there's a few things that might not even fully transform your character and only make certain alterations, such as if your Pikachu character ate something weird and made a mushroom grow out of their head, but everything else remained the same.

Again, it's really quite open, but yeah, the general theme of having weird stuff happen when your character eats or drinks is pretty much a given, but the exact nature of the effect is up to you. Sure, sometimes it could be helpful in its own weird way, but other times, it should be a pain in the neck to deal with. In pretty much all cases, it would leave your character feeling weird and funky. It helps the rest of us laugh. XD


-No godmodding, but that doesn't rule out our characters being used in each others posts? (yeah, lol shows how much I've seen the RP posts around here =3)

God-modding is just when people cheat the role play and it causes detrimental effects to the other RPers. One good example of god-modding would be a character that never suffers even one inconvenience from the stuff they eat or drink (in fact it seems to help them overcome everything all the time), their character seems to know exactly what needs to be done to escape and/or find and defeat the Trick Master, and manages to do that instantly and effortlessly. Stuff like that is a killjoy to the whole thing, and obviously we don't want that. Sure, a "victory" condition could be reached eventually, but it should take time, effort, investigation, and some ingenuity. Plus teamwork between characters would be nice to see also.

Bunnying (having direct influence over what happens or what another character does) is a little looser here give the unusual nature of the RP. Say Jeff and Natalie are two human characters (both are controlled by their own RPer) trying to work together to escape the Trick House Underground. They come across a weird room that looks like a bakery. During one of Jeff's posts, one of the cakes suddenly has a giant, pink Weezing pop out of it that sprays the room full of pink gas and that very gas ends up transforming Jeff into a pink Piplup when he inhales it. Now, Natalie is in the same room when that happens, so the RPer controlling her is going to have to address that in one way or another (most likely it's going to involve having her get transformed into a pink Pokémon also just because of where she's standing). This is just one example of where one RPer's posts will affect another's (which makes it fun and crazy in a way, that's the whole purpose of the RP after all). I just don't want people to go too far and force stuff on each other, where the guy controlling Jeff states Natalie gets hit by it also. Let the other RPer decide how that happens, if that happens (but be reasonable, they shouldn't be escaping absolutely every bad thing that comes their way). Sure, Natalie might escape, but it's unlikely because realistically, she wasn't expecting that at all. By a slim chance, she could turn around and sprint away, but as a result, she becomes separated from Jeff ("you ditched me!"). That kind of thing. Around here, we throw curveballs at each other.


-Are there limitations to these transformations in any way or is it an all-out anything goes?

You can become anything (as long as it follows the rules and isn't something suggestive or perverted, but I know you guys wouldn't do stuff like that). Again, I mention the god-modding rule where sometimes the transformation might be good and helpful at the time, other times it may not help or hurt and may just be a weird effect (hair and skin changing a different color), or it could be really inconvenient (such as becoming an ice type in a furnace room or a mobile stone statue in a place where being able to swim would really help). Also, the transformations might help in one room or area (being a Pikachu that can navigate through tiny passageways a human can't) but could be a pain in the neck in another (now he has to climb many glass staircases and ladders that were sized for humans).


may have more after it starts (or after I come up with a sign-up post. Just had a few thoughts on my mind is all.

No problem at all. Again, I want this RP to be really open-ended and surprising with the kind of craziness we throw each other's characters into, but with some very basic ground rules to make sure it's enjoyable and memorable.

[Morzone]

Name: Xavier Hundres
Age: 18
Gender: male
Appearance: Average height, around 5'7" He had unkempt black hair and had a small gold earring in each ear. He wears a red jacket with a black T-shirt under it. Jeans and tennis shoes are also normal. He also wears finger-less leather gloves.
Current State: Well... At the moment he's a sentient Twig that's about 2 feet long, a half inch thick, and has tiny wooden legs, arms, and face. He has a few leaves that somewhat resemble hair on the top of his "Head." And in case your wondering, the wood is mahogany.
Personality: Xavier is very prideful and has a bit of an ego. Rash and bold, he doesn't take kindly to others looking down on him, including himself. There are few things he hates more than feeling weak or pathetic. Still, even if he's annoying he is pretty loyal and is a good person to have on your side.
History: Xavier was a skilled pokemon trainer who'd decided to take a break from training for his 7th badge to hang out at the trick house when he discovered the "Basement." He spent his first day attempting to break his way out of the mysterious place with force, but to no avail. on the second day, he went somewhat crazy and spent most of it thinking that someone was going to steal his soul if he ate the food or drank the water. The third day he died to a mysterious mirror room that flung him high into the air to fall to his death. When he woke up in another room, he was a machop. He generally spent the rest of the time he;s been there getting to know other people who'd been trapped, trying to find his lost pokemon, or dying to other weird rooms until he became the twig he is now.
Pokémon (up to six): Absol, Flygon, Typhlosion, Gengar, Pangoro, Gabite.
Entrapment Length: About a month and a half
Other: A person can last weeks without food, but without water they'll die after 3 days!


Name: Joshua Kanz
Age: 15
Gender: male
Appearance: Short-ish at 5'4". Wears a blue running jacket and track pants. His shoes are normal tennis shoes. He carries around a shoulder bag for carrying his supplies and pokeballs. Around his neck is a silver pendant shaped like a flame. Etched into it are the words "Inherited Will, Destiny, and Dreams" His skin is pale, his eyes are bright blue, his hair is a dirty blonde color.
Current State: Still normal human.
Personality: Joshua is reserved, but very hardworking. He always tries to do the best at whatever he does, even if it is a small task. Even so, he has an unfortunate habit of making mistakes, which have ruined a lot of his self confidence. He enjoys being with his pokemon because he feels they understand him beyond his mistakes, though he won't shun any human friends either. He has a strong belief in an overall justice, (Or karma, I guess) so when things go wrong for him, he assumes it is a punishment for something he'd done.
History: Joshua is a relatively new trainer and was unlucky enough to have found the basement on his first visit to the trick house. He used to live in Sinnoh, but moved to Hoen with his family after some trouble with Team galactic.
Pokémon (up to six): Treecko, eevee, pichu, poochyena
Entrapment Length: about 12 hours
Other: He's not quite as weirded out as some other people because as far as he knows, the trick house is supposed to be like this.

I have a rather important question: does food you have on you before hand have the same affects as the food found in the "Maze" So if you have some berries or fresh water in your bag, can you eat/drink those safely?

Also: Yay for Chakra joining the wonderful and imaginative world of Roleplay! Welcome to the community! Go team electric rodents!

[Neo Emolga]

Morzone, both Xavier and Joshua are Accepted and good to go (I feel bad for snickering at Xavier's twig state, but it just seems so random XD).

And to answer your question:


I have a rather important question: does food you have on you before hand have the same affects as the food found in the "Maze" So if you have some berries or fresh water in your bag, can you eat/drink those safely?

Also: Yay for Chakra joining the wonderful and imaginative world of Roleplay! Welcome to the community! Go team electric rodents!

Food and drinks your character already has on them will just work as normal. So if your character already brought lunch, you should be fine, but there's also the small fact that your Pokémon get hungry and thirsty also, so your reserves are probably only going to hold out for so long.

But as mentioned before, food and drink found in the Trick House Underground isn't the only way your character and their Pokémon could get transformed (but it's definitely one of the most surefire means). Getting stung by that funky green Beedril or inhaling pollen from a weird flower you bumped into might cause something bizarre to happen also. It's just with the food and drink, it always happens.

Have fun experimenting!

And yeah, I think it's cool Chakramaster is joining us. Usually the RPs I run don't get this wild and crazy, but it's always nice and refreshing to put creativity and imagination on overdrive like this every now and then.

[Noblejanobii]

Name: Sloane Jackson
Age: 17, but almost 18.
Gender: female
Appearance: Sloane is a 5'3 Caucasian female. She is fairly small in stature and a little bit on the heavier side. She's not very fit but can run for about a mile without needing to rest. However, Sloane does have a bad knee. Her left leg tends to give her trouble so she keeps a silver walking stick around to keep her steady when the need arises. She has long brown hair that reaches her mid-calves but usually is kept in a braid which reaches just below her butt. She usually wears a black shirt with blue jeans, a black and silver jacket, a chain necklace, and a bandanna with black goggles. Sloane doesn't carry much else on her but she does carry a field guide in her black back sack to help her identify certain Pokemon and attributes of them if she's unsure about them.
Current State: She's currently a human and all her Pokemon are fine.
Personality: Sloane's a bit on the insecure side. She's optimistic in most cases, but if her patience wears thin she goes very close to insane. In such cases, Sloane becomes very aggressive and may attempt to hurt those around her. Sloane is also prone to depression but she tends to hide this because she does not want to bother others with such ordeals. Still, Sloane is caring, quick-witted person and fairs much better emotionally when she has people there to support her.
History: Sloane was orphaned in Ecruteak City in the front of the Kimono Girl temple. For sixteen years, Sloane was raised and trained as a kimono apprentice. However, unlike most trainees, Sloane was eventually sent to Kanto by the Kimono Girls for a journey. She never regretted it. Sloane quickly set her sights on becoming a dark type specialist, feeling closest to the Pokemon of this type, but that never stopped her from catching Pokemon of other types. Following her journey in Kanto, Sloane began to travel the world with her boyfriend, Dylan Thomas. Hoenn was their third stop, following Sinnoh and Kalos. The two split up in Slateport after Dylan got a call from his work and was forced to fly back to Sinnoh in a hurry. They agreed to at least keep in contact and hopefully be back to continue their exploration of Hoenn within a week's time. In the mean time, Sloane decided to take advantage of her freedom and look over all that Slateport had to offer. The contest hall, the museum, and the market had all been fantastic sites to see. Sloane's next stop was the Trick House. She had planned to go to the abandoned shipwreck after that but such a plan never came to be after Sloane became trapped inside this insane house. Now she had to find her way out and it didn't seem likely she'd escape anytime soon.
Pokémon (up to six): Shaymin (Shay), Mightyena (Asch), Manetric (Mori), Mawile (Odessa), Noivern (Bruyverne), and Zangoose (Dotta)
Entrapment Length: Just over a day.
Other: Dylan has been her boyfriend for about two years now. Given Dylan’s personality, Sloane’s found it a bit weird he has not called her since he left Slateport. Sloane has a black pokégear but has already noticed the thing seems a bit bugged out since it won't make any calls or anything.

Name: Dylan Thomas
Age: 20
Gender: Male
Appearance: Dylan is tall, about 5'11 and the average weight for a man of his size and age. He has short brown hair, somewhat tanned skin, and is built well. He tends to wear blue, and at the time of his transformation, he was wearing blue jeans, a pink t-shirt with the words “Fairies aren’t just for Girls" on the front, and a blue jacket. He also had his favorite blue fedora with a pink stripe on it. He also has a badge from the Sinnoh branch of the Pokemon Bureau of the Investigation.
Current State: Currently, Dylan is stuck in the form of a wind-up togetic toy. He can walk around, pick up things, and eat. However, in order to speak or fly, the key in his back must be wound up. Dylan finds this extremely irritating.
Personality: Prior to this incident, Dylan was a calm, cool, and collected guy that could easily reason himself out of any situation. He cared a lot about others, more so than himself, and would sacrifice himself for the sake of others. He also liked his girlfriend, Sloane, a lot and constantly worried over her since she was not in the best physical condition, resulting in many phone calls back to her, whenever he could manage them. Now, he’s even more frantic and panicked than usual. Dylan wants nothing more than to escape this place because he worries not only for himself, but also for Sloane. He wishes to protect her from anything that could possibly happen to her with the proximity of the Trick House to Slateport, each day brought her chances of entering this place much higher. He’s also a bit more irritable than usual.
History: Dylan was born and raised in the Sinnoh region. His family traveled quite a bit across the region so Dylan was given the rare opportunity to visit most of the major cities in Sinnoh. His favorite stop, however, was Celestic Town. Dylan was enamored by the stories of rare dragon Pokemon and the myths of their once strong rivals, the fairies. It was also here that Dylan met his uncle, Johto Champion Lance. After that, Dylan was regularly thrust upon Lance to visit Johto. The first time he visited the place, he hated the entire trip up until her arrived at a festival in Ecruteak city. It was there he met Sloane for the first time. The two quickly bonded and two years after that, he finally got the guts up to ask Sloane out on a date. Shortly after turning nineteen, Dylan became the youngest member of the Pokemon Bureau of Investigation. He has yet to do much field work, but he doesn't mind that since he knows he needs to learn the basics before he takes on the big cases. In fact, it was this very mentality that got Dylan stuck in the Trick House. Following his departure from Sloane, Dylan was sent to the Trick House based on rumors from the locals of people going in and never coming out. Dylan just didn't realize he'd join that list of people too.
Pokémon (up to six): His team is all fairy types due to his specialization in the area: Sylveon (Becquerel), Gardevoir (Fei), Aromatisse (Marigold), Togekiss (Melody), Wigglytuff (William), and Azumarill (Hannah). Currently, his pokemon are still with him, and they have been relatively unaffected by the food and water other than occasionally growing mushrooms from their arms, blooming flowers on their heads, etc.
Entrapment Length: Roughly 5 days.
Other: Sloane’s been his girlfriend for about two years now.

Sloane and Dylan are Accepted and are all set to go. Poor Dylan, though. XD

Nice job on these guys, and thanks for joining in on the craziness. XD

MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

[Chakramaster]

Nah, you don't have to be a trainer. If you want to have a character in some other role, such as a breeder, professor, or whatever, I'm perfectly fine with that also. As far as the Pokémon themselves go, there's quite a lot of situations that might cause you to lose them (in Jonathan's case, transformations caused him to lose his belt of Pokéballs along with the rest of his clothes, but I'll go more into that once the RP actually starts). You could be a trainer that still has them. I'm just personally having one of Jonathan's personal side-quests be the retrieval of his Pokemon belt.

On that I just meant like could your character be a random Pokemon that found it's way in somehow, but I think I abandoned that idea now lol.




Sometimes yes, sometimes no. That's really up to you to decide. For example, you could have it where the first food or drink your character consumes turns them into a Pikachu (using this as an example because he's your favorite) permanently. The next food or drink then makes them shrink to become a Pikachu that's only a few inches tall, but that one is temporary and after a short while, you're back to normal Pikachu size (but still a Pikachu). And there's a few things that might not even fully transform your character and only make certain alterations, such as if your Pikachu character ate something weird and made a mushroom grow out of their head, but everything else remained the same.

Again, it's really quite open, but yeah, the general theme of having weird stuff happen when your character eats or drinks is pretty much a given, but the exact nature of the effect is up to you. Sure, sometimes it could be helpful in its own weird way, but other times, it should be a pain in the neck to deal with. In pretty much all cases, it would leave your character feeling weird and funky. It helps the rest of us laugh. XD

Ah so kinda like I was thinking. A sort of fun house effects with (near) anything goes kinda clause to what can happen. As great as it sounds having the "permanent" effect. Jumping straight into that sounds like it wouldn't be as fun though lol. It could be something that may or may not happen...but you know me and Pikachu well there it seems xD


God-modding is just when people cheat the role play and it causes detrimental effects to the other RPers. One good example of god-modding would be a character that never suffers even one inconvenience from the stuff they eat or drink (in fact it seems to help them overcome everything all the time), their character seems to know exactly what needs to be done to escape and/or find and defeat the Trick Master, and manages to do that instantly and effortlessly. Stuff like that is a killjoy to the whole thing, and obviously we don't want that. Sure, a "victory" condition could be reached eventually, but it should take time, effort, investigation, and some ingenuity. Plus teamwork between characters would be nice to see also.

Bunnying (having direct influence over what happens or what another character does) is a little looser here give the unusual nature of the RP. Say Jeff and Natalie are two human characters (both are controlled by their own RPer) trying to work together to escape the Trick House Underground. They come across a weird room that looks like a bakery. During one of Jeff's posts, one of the cakes suddenly has a giant, pink Weezing pop out of it that sprays the room full of pink gas and that very gas ends up transforming Jeff into a pink Piplup when he inhales it. Now, Natalie is in the same room when that happens, so the RPer controlling her is going to have to address that in one way or another (most likely it's going to involve having her get transformed into a pink Pokémon also just because of where she's standing). This is just one example of where one RPer's posts will affect another's (which makes it fun and crazy in a way, that's the whole purpose of the RP after all). I just don't want people to go too far and force stuff on each other, where the guy controlling Jeff states Natalie gets hit by it also. Let the other RPer decide how that happens, if that happens (but be reasonable, they shouldn't be escaping absolutely every bad thing that comes their way). Sure, Natalie might escape, but it's unlikely because realistically, she wasn't expecting that at all. By a slim chance, she could turn around and sprint away, but as a result, she becomes separated from Jeff ("you ditched me!"). That kind of thing. Around here, we throw curveballs at each other.

Yeah that pretty much explains it well. A character that seems like they know everything or can overcome anything with no harm or effects from what the world (or story) was created TO make wouldn't be too much fun. It would feel like a main character of a show/game that knows everything and would kinda take away from it all.

Hmm, that's one thing I didn't think about (other effects than just food or some water/drink) that would/could change their appearance. So it could stretch out to be whatever might fit the scene and add to the story or humor at the time. Yeah bunnying I would have to get used to cause I know not everyone likes others using their character (especially if it effects them too much). So loosely would be good. As long as they don't physically control what happens to the other person's character, got it =D.


You can become anything (as long as it follows the rules and isn't something suggestive or perverted, but I know you guys wouldn't do stuff like that). Again, I mention the god-modding rule where sometimes the transformation might be good and helpful at the time, other times it may not help or hurt and may just be a weird effect (hair and skin changing a different color), or it could be really inconvenient (such as becoming an ice type in a furnace room or a mobile stone statue in a place where being able to swim would really help). Also, the transformations might help in one room or area (being a Pikachu that can navigate through tiny passageways a human can't) but could be a pain in the neck in another (now he has to climb many glass staircases and ladders that were sized for humans).

Yeah, following the rules at all times would be best lol. Keeping it pg-13, but under if possible. xD well you pretty much read my mind in that sense because that was my exact thinking there (how like being a Pikachu could help get to places a human can't like small narrow passageways while a human couldn't vs like stairs that would be harder to climb up). Even though Pikachu is my favorite. I can't stick just to that for this. Where would the fun in all that be? Though I'm sure I could come up something to have something random happen at times.


No problem at all. Again, I want this RP to be really open-ended and surprising with the kind of craziness we throw each other's characters into, but with some very basic ground rules to make sure it's enjoyable and memorable.

Yeah just being my first (other than WAR which was just bad timing for my laptop to die out) RP here I don't wanna make it too hard to follow, but still have to learn the best way to go about keeping it going. Something to keep the mind and ideas flowing really

I hope to have something to post soonish. Maybe later today I hope.

[Morzone]

How exactly do you pronounce Sloane? Is it just Sl-oh-n?

So a few normal people, a twig, and a wind-up toy. This is looking very promising.

[Noblejanobii]

You know, in all my life no one has ever asked that. That is one way I've heard it pronounced but I actually believe it's pronounced S-loan. The E is silent so as long as you get close Sloane would respond.

[Morzone]

I was just wondering because I was recently listening to Eragon on CD, which has a character named Sloan and is pronounced how it looks. But Sloan is a guy and I wasn't sure if you pronounced it different for a girl or if the E made a sound at all.

[Noblejanobii]

Like I said, I've heard it both ways and I've heard it pronounced with a "eee" sound at the end. The E is usually silent though.

[Chakramaster]

came out a bit more detailed than I originally thought, but here's s short/long character entry.

Name: Brian Evans
Age: 21
Gender: Male

Appearance: A young man, an artist, who honestly looks younger than he actually is. Wears a solid purple shirt with an orange scarf he carries with him to wear if it ever got too cold. He's 5'4", light skinned, but you can tell he gets a lot of sun from time to time. He has moderately short hair, mostly likes it to lay down flat. Carries a backpack with all his supplies. He carries around extra clothing because when he goes out, it's usually for days at a time.

He tries to stay active, but with his line of work he barely gets time other than the walk or climbs he makes to get the best view he can of any area or Pokemon. Prefers when taking trips to wear long pants in a darker, more navy blue shade. He also carries a watch with him. His watch is also his calendar, which mean it's also his only way of telling what day it is, time; basically his only way of keeping track of time at best. If he loses it, it becomes much harder for him to tell how long he's been out or how long he's been at this location. He does, however, have on his watch a way of telling directions (not with a compass) and contacting people, but they can't contact him. However, since becoming trapped here the "contact" function has stopped working correctly, at least that's what he believes since there's no sound from it anymore.


Current Sate: Still a human. Brian is still keeping his sense about him, but the way his rations are going, he and his Pokemon might not be able to hold off eating or drinking from this area much longer. Seeing Pokemon able to actually talk at first freaked him out, but in this new world he's started to get used to seeing and hearing it. Though, Brian still suffers from nightmares from what happened one year ago. Sometimes, it effects his judgments, and causes him to react out of emotions rather than logic or ration.


Personality: Brian has always tried to keep an easy-going kind of attitude towards most things. When others wanted help, he's always wanting to do what he can to help, but sometimes that's what causes him to lose his way. Other than his art sketches Brian has always loved puzzles or complex things to solve. Sure it would take him a lot of time, but he's always enjoyed the thrill of it. When it comes to being somewhere or finding the perfect spot, usually Brian gets lucky. He always happens to find the, what he calls, "the perfect spot." Usually it's followed by perfect timing where as he seen as many great sites as an artist can hope and dream to see and sketch. Again his judgments are sometimes effected, meaning even his attitude toward certain things may suddenly change depending on what his mental state may be like at the time.

Brian hates being picked on. He grew up with that and now he sometimes has rash ways of dealing with it. If he ignores them, it only further burdens him later on. Sometimes, he just wishes he had the power to stand up to them, much like his Pokemon, but his Pokemon are his only friend currently with him. All of his other human friends have all gone off on adventures as trainers and now somewhere in Kanto. They all preferred to travel with each other. Brian doesn't have anything, but the best of feelings for his friends success.


History: Brian used to be a trainer in Johto. His first Pokemon ever was his Pikachu. Normally a trainer would get their first Pokemon from the region's Professor. Brian, however, got his from his family. For his birthday when he turned 10, his parents gave him a Pikachu. They used to have fun battling with their friends at school and going on random adventures with each other in the forest near their house. One day Brian took his Pikachu and his best friend to the forest. Together they made it further than Brian and his Pikachu ever made it. They ended up finding a clearing, which was a rather large field. Suddenly they heard cries, cries from a Pokemon, an Eevee. Not knowing what to do Brian's Pikachu suddenly jumped down from his shoulder telling him something in pika-speak, then runs off into the forest. Brian and his friend both look at each other confused, assuming it said it will be right back. Brian tries comforting the Eevee while looking over it's wounds. They weren't too deep, it only looked like scratches, but this Eevee looked very young. Had it's parents abandoned it? Not even 5 minutes later Brian's Pikachu runs back. It runs up to then hurt Eevee and hands it gently a few Oran berries. Timid at first, the Eevee nibbles on one of the berries and it's tears stop. It slowly stands up and eats the berries. After some time of looking after it, wondering if it's parents are coming back. They decide to leave as it was getting late. Looking back at the Eevee as they told it good-bye the image is still stuck in Brian's mind of a beautiful sunset behind the trees as they look back at a confused Eevee, that suddenly perks up and gives back a radiant smile. This image is one of the few things that directly inspired Brian to become the artist he is today. After arriving at home, after saying bye to his friend, Brian hears rustling in the bushes before he gets back inside. Suddenly, a small-bushy tail pops out. Then it's head. it was the Eevee they found earlier. Apparently it followed him back home. After some thought...oh who am I kidding, it wasn't even a thought! Brian just KNEW he had to keep this Eevee. Together, he thought Pikachu and Eevee were going to be the best partners a trainer could ask for....until.

Years later, he's lost Pokemon (whether it was from a thief that stole them or whether the Pokemon defended him and died). Most recently, his Pikachu died. Brian had his Pikachu and Eevee with him that he had always carried with him from the start of his journeys, but while he was sketching a wild Leafeon in a forest one day "it" happened. Somewhere he started hearing crying, which to him sounded like the cries of another Pokemon. Knowing the layout of forests now, thanks to his Pokemon, research and journeys, Brian now knows layouts of forest much better than he used to. He found an Oran berry bush and Pecha berry as well, just in case. After rushing there to where they heard the cries. No one was there, but unbeknownst to Brian, his Pikachu heard exactly where it was. The sound that Brian had ignored above them. Someone had hid themselves really well in a tree and pounces on Brian. He's talked to the ground throwing Pikachu off of him. Brian had suddenly found himself fighting for his life on the ground with a blade pointed towards him. Refusing to meet the armed guy's demands, the mysterious guy suddenly prepares his arm to hit Brian. Brian feared the worst in his already weakened state. He couldn't reach his bag to pull out Eevee and Pikachu was thrown off somewhere. He closed his eyes fearing the incoming thrust from the guys blade, but....suddenly the pressure forcing his body down had been lifted, but he still couldn't move. Had he been paralyzed? No..this was different, maybe just paralyzed with fear. He was able to force open his eyes, but only to see one large bolt of lightning come down and 2 screams. Brian blacked out after that. Later, Brian felt shakes, no...nudges on his sides. Grunting, but not up yet he suddenly feels a lick on his face which makes Brian jump up. Alert now after remembering what had happened he was worried. What had happened...he remembers being attacked, but after that-. Suddenly it hit him, to him it was as if time itself has stopped. Looking over to where he saw the lightning before he passed out Brian sees only one large crater with scorches around where it landed and a large charred object, which was most likely the guy that attacked them. Then, after looking around Brian had remember being licked. Looking to his side he saw his Eevee. He wondered how she got out of her Pokeball, but he was horrified to look by his backpack. His Pikachu, lay there in front of his bag. Not moving and laying there, lifeless. These memories still haunt Brian even today as his Pikachu was one of his best friends. It's been one full year now to the exact day that the story takes place.

2 days ago Brian had his Eevee with him walking looking for something to sketch and had already prepared for at least a week long trip. Somehow, finding this place was some of the worst luck Brian and Eevee had gotten themselves into in at least a year. They both figured a new region was just the change in pace they needed. Were they right?


Pokemon: 1 (an eevee -just named Eevee) He always was bad with nicknaming Pokemon. So he just decided to leave it as "Eevee."

Entrapment Length: 2, almost 3 days now.


Other: Because of his skills as an artist, this allows Brian to remember things he sees or notice things a little easier than some people, even the smaller details such as: sights, sounds, or smells of the areas he's been. The memories of what happened are still haunting Brian and sometimes causes nightmares.

[Morzone]

I think that's the longest history description I've ever seen. Clearly Chakra won't be suffering from a lack of detail in his RP posts XD

[Noblejanobii]

It also looks like he's a present tense roleplayer. Been a while since I've seen that style. Cool!

[Chakramaster]

I think that's the longest history description I've ever seen. Clearly Chakra won't be suffering from a lack of detail in his RP posts XD

LOL, well like I was telling Neo before I made the post. I felt like got a little carried away while writing it. Before I started writing it, the character had no name (making mentioning him hard saying "him" or "he" so often). So I paused and wrote certain parts, again getting stuck so I though for a bit, came up with a name. Fixed that....then I though...how would I go about thinking of how I can use this worlds nature to change my character in ways. Personality and background both made it hard. So I went with something we all know happens in stories and have seen before (even though personally I've never tackled it). Yeah I just got an idea while writing the personality lines and....it broke off into the history and ended up becoming like it's own side story. About halfway into it I noticed how long it stretched, but didn't wanna just scratch it all only to HAVE to bring it all up later anyway. So here it is xD



It also looks like he's a present tense roleplayer. Been a while since I've seen that style. Cool!

present tense wha-?! I know past-present-future tense, but I didn't think the way I wrote it was present tense xD. That or I just didn't notice. I certainly didn't PLAN on making it that way lol. I just wrote what came to mind as best as I could....honestly I could've went more in-depth in explaining, but restrictions on a rating here lol. We all have imaginations to know how it might've looked and the after effects it might've cause and.....*clears throat* will cause at some point.

[Morzone]

Ah its fine, I've seen Noble put just as much detail into some of her character descriptions as well. *Shivers at the memory* Don't worry about the present tense thing either, Its always best to Rp with whatever you find easiest to write with. (Whatever it may be)

[Noblejanobii]

Well, Chakra, you actually seem to flow between the two. It doesn't really matter but seeing a person who uses present tense is a bit rarer nowadays. You're one of two that I know of.

Also, as for descriptions, I have to stay under the ratings as well you know. I can also become very dark. Exhibit A:

Neo, to give you an idea of Jan's insane half, allow me to direct you to the site I have set up for the many universes of A Single Element and her story of the Madness Mage who became known as Jack the Ripper. Warning: This story is not for those who do not do gore well and could easily be considered well above PG-13. Anyone who follows the link, you have been warned.

[Chakramaster]

Well somehow while writing a "character bios" or sign up, I did stretch it out from an explanation more to actual story delving or like actual character development there. Which doesn't hurt I guess lol. Either way it's not bad to explain it now since I would've had to later anyway. I'll definitely work on it some more and improve as I write more once we start. Because I may have a weak start at the least.

Morzone thing is...I don't really have a particular writing "style" per say. All that came off the top of my head (with some edits here and there). So if my style is present tense when I write things off the top of my head. That can be a good thing in most cases I guess since writing something present tense is actually needed. (Actually helps knowing I do because I have plans to write something using it at some point).

Hey, dude, sorry about the delay on reading the sign up (I've had my hands bit full lately). I checked it out and it's definitely Accepted and really well-written, but holy crap, I was NOT expecting to be blind-sided by the feels train while reading it. Everything from his efforts to rescue the injured Eevee and the death of his Pikachu was an emotional rollercoaster, but you've definitely painted a solid picture of Brian's character and what he's been through.

This may be one of your first RPs here, but I've been doing this kind of stuff for years and you definitely have THE GIFT for this. Great job, I'm really looking forward to seeing your RPing in action!

lol there's no rush, so no worries! Lol even though you all keep saying it's good....I still can't shake the fact I feel like it's written a bit differently than you all made yours. Differently styles and all I know, but mine is sort of...like a small side-story itself imo. I could've went more into detail again as I said, but I was worried about stretching it out TOO long hahaha. There's more behind his skills as an artist I could've gone into, but again length worried me. It still may take me a bit to get into the creative writing style on the fly, but I'm sure with time it won't take long at all. Thanks though, it is my first time attempting one of these so it's great to see support from the first one I create =D.

It was great! And everyone's style is unique. Stories like that aren't all that uncommon actually, it's just not how I usually sign up. Leaves people in suspense for when my character remembers a traumatic incident. *snickers*

Dude, no worries, I definitely respect the fact everyone's got their own styles and I'm open to all of them. And trust me, I've read plenty of EXTREMELY wordy RP character sign ups. Yours was great, and if I felt there was something really troubling about it, I would have spoken up, but I didn't see anything that came even close.

Also, I have a fully loaded day of busy stuff to do tomorrow (I need to do a lot of errands and I'm off to see that crazy Deadpool movie with a friend), but is everyone game if we start this puppy on Monday?

That should work for me. I'm out of school Monday so I should be able to reply easily then but worse case I reply about midnight timeframe.

[Noblejanobii]

Please excuse the double post, but I had a dream last night and it was too fantastic to ignore.

Name: Belladonna "Fox" Digitalis Oleander
Age: 21 (she turned 21 two weeks after she got stuck inside the house)
Gender: Female
Appearance: Her hair is always changing colors, being dyed whatever she likes. Currently it is platinum blonde with a purple streak in the front, pulled back into a tight bun. Her skin is a deep brown, the kind that can be attributed to the earth after a long rain following an even longer drought, and her eyes are the color of the sky. Currently she is dressed in a green, purple, and pink tie-dye shirt with jeans that were ripped at the knees and brown ducklett boots. In her current state, her tail is blue like her jeans and her tail fin is the color of her ducklett boots. Her mermaid bra is tie-dye like her shirt was.
Current State: Currently, Fox is stuck as a mermaid. And she hates it. Very much. She's got gills and everything, which means she can't leave the lake she's stuck in because she can't breathe out of water. She's tried stuffing her face with as much food as possible to change back and it hasn't really done anything except give her scales on her arms, neck, and stomach, as well as a dorsal fin. She's just stopped eating for now.
Personality: There's no good way to describe Fox. She's sassy, sarcastic, and a very strong tomboy. Fox likes to get down and dirty. She loves it when criminals put up a fight because then she can take them down and show off.
History: Fox was raised by two police officers in the Kanto region. She was given her first Pokemon, a budew, when she turned ten. Ten years later, Fox was a poison type specialist and signing up for the PBI branch in Sinnoh. She had moved to Sinnoh after hearing rumors of a need for new members on the force. Her parents encouraged the move and even though they're far apart, Fox still has the constant support of her parents. She was sent to the Trick House based on rumors of suspicious activity. She actually had to go through the house twice before she finally "got lost" enough to find this mysterious place. Fox was smart, she had brought only one Pokemon with her, and a bunch of rope. She tied rope at the entry way and led on. Fox went until she ran out of rope then she went back, except, the rope was no longer at an entrance. It was just held in a wall, a solid wall. Fox ended up succumbing to the madness of the trick house. The only reason it was discovered she went missing is because two weeks after she got lost, her parents contacted the company saying she hadn't shown up for her birthday vacation days. At the time, the agency couldn't spare anyway. It was only as a last ditch effort after a threat of being sued by Fox's parents that Dylan was contacted.
Pokémon (up to six): Hemlock the Roserade
She has more but she didn't bring them with her on this mission.
Entrapment Length: Two months roughly
Other: She's the reason Dylan and subsequently Sloane got stuck in this mess. She's technically older than Dylan by about six months, so prior to his joining she was the youngest PBI member ever.

Please excuse the double post, but I had a dream last night and it was too fantastic to ignore.

Hey, I've made ENTIRE RPS based on dreams I've had! Best part is they're all original and all those ideas are yours for the taking!

Anyway, I checked Belladonna out and she's Accepted and good to go. I feel bad for her, though, hopefully she can get out of that lake eventually.

Just thought I'd let you guys know that the RP is now up:

Have fun! (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?8755-RP-Hoenn-Enigma-Seeds-of-Secrets)

[Noblejanobii]

I saw that and I was so confused for a second because I thought it was the setup and I was like "why is there only one- oh this is the actual roleplay." XD

[Chakramaster]

I promise if I don't get to it if I'll have by tomorrow morning. Another busy day is all. So if it's not up by 5pm est it'll most likely be up tomorrow. Just a lot of running around today and it'd be easier to type it up on my computer than out away with many more distractions lol.

No rush, dude, we're just doing introductory posts. Usually starting off is the trickiest part, but once you've got the momentum going, things will feel smoother.

[Eri]

Name: Joarro Louis Jozander, at your presence.

Age: The young age of, 31.

Gender: The Manliest of Men!

Appearance: I was molded with purpose. I stand 6' 8", by chance you think? I think not. By genetics? perhaps! But when tall grass has engulfed your miniature stature look into the sky and seek the star which is flawlessly edged and ever illuminating. It is then that ill lift you with my bulging muscles and rest you upon my world carrying broad shoulders. I shall trample over the worst of roads, through the deepest of swamps, and hike over the highest of mountains for there is no where my sturdy legs cannot traverse. My travels around the worlds has placed me under the harshest and delightful of Sun rays, it has even bared me with a strong but fine bronze complexion.

Current State:

Just got trapped in the Trick House. Separated from his friend Scyther.

Personality:

Very energetic, strong willed, strong pride and intelligent from experience.

History:

Why is it we battle? I spent 5 years on a journey from cities to towns and even the most remote of villages. From Mountain tops to valleys below in order to find the answers to life. In my journeys I have encountered many individuals who have possessed great passions and purpose. Trainers seek to be the best, the champions. Nurses and police, to protect people and their pokemon. Scientist to further study the world we live in. It wasn't till I encountered an old man siting by the lake shore fishing.

He seemed grim and ….old. I tried not to mind him but he called me over. “ You are on a journey for enlightenment” he says. I was in awe. How could this man that I only met now for the first time know this. “ To find the answer you must return in favor” he continued. I then emptied my bag to offer something for his knowledge. He took no interest in my possessions. It wasn't till he he had taken a second glance at my sparkling scissors. He looked at me and told me to turn my head. He then cleared his throat and says “I could use a hair cut”. I was quite confused but if it was all it took to get my answer...I was for it.

We talked about his journeys and many other great things about his trainer days. I then decided that I should perhaps become a trainer, he did make it sound very convincing. I finished cutting and went to pack my bags. A scream was then heard from the old man. The calm and very wise old man was now full of energy and jumped around foolishly. “Hey Jarro, forget everything I said you should cut hair!”.

And thats how me and the old man started traveling around cutting hair for a living. It does pay well HAHAHAHA.

The old man suggested that I catch a pokemon so we can battle our customers. If they won they got a free hair cut. He said it would help attract customers. He sure does know a lot.

So I went into the wild and decided to catch the first pokemon I saw. Who knew that it would have been a Scyther. It seemed very fitting for me to catch it. It was not an easy task though. We fought for 3 days and 3 nights straight with no breaks. But I could not be bested. My might fists could not lose to anyone.

And thats how a Scyther became a member. HAHAHAAHAA

Pokémon (up to six): Scyther

Entrapment Length:

Just entered the Trick House Underground.

Other:

As Scyther and I traveled for an appointment in another city we decided to rest at this strange house. Good thing I packed food and water...our appetites would make us as wild as a pissed off Primeape.

[Neo Emolga]

Eri

Checked out Joarro, he's Accepted and good to go. Welcome to the chaos!

[Eri]

Thank you!

[Chakramaster]

Out of curiosity though, is there somewhere we discuss the plot going on (like future posts maybe planned) or affected player/character scenes questions? Or is that all a play as you go thing?

I'm sure the answer is more simple than my slipping mind is thinking right now xD...tired from the work day, but I wanted a new post in and had a quick question I thought of (along with a few ideas) while there.

[Morzone]

That's actually what this thread is for. SU (Sign up) and DS (Discussion). so if you have an idea you want to shoot by us, you can tell us here!

[Chakramaster]

Lol yup my mind was just super tired still when I asked that xD. Some reason I couldn't make that out. Nah nothing yet, but I'm kind of getting an idea where to move my character at this point. Trying to keep ideas flowing to about how to continue it even. Will for sure post it if I do have some to discuss though.

[Neo Emolga]

Yep, Morzone is right on the money. We do sign up and discussion in the same thread.

For those who are wondering (and so that they know this storyline actually does have some direction), what I'm doing with Jonathan is he is going to use Sloane's pen and markers and paper to track what foods and drinks turn people into what and what doors lead to what other rooms by writing on the walls, floor, and so on. This is going to lead to him trying to map out the entire Trick House Underground for everyone stuck inside it to know what doors can lead to what rooms, know where they're going, and what foods are "relatively" safe to eat. He's hoping this will lead to them figuring out every nook and cranny of the Underground and eventually find where a possible exit might be to help everyone escape...

...which is going to get the attention of the Trick Master in a bad way. By doing this, Jonathan's undermining the whole intention of having the Underground confusing, shocking, and bewildering, and that might lead to something bad happening (I haven't decided what, yet, but you're welcome to decide!).

Now, you're free to help Jonathan in this little mission once you learn of the plan from him directly (like how Sloane did) or see his work in action. You're also free (and highly encouraged) to interject your own ideas for having things change in the storyline, but even if you're stumped on that for now, trust me, things will take interesting turns anyway.

[Morzone]

I wonder if there's a way to break whatever system makes the maze work like it does and destroy the it. (which is what I'm going to call it for now) Which would be kind of interesting. What happens when a system that works to destroy all possible conceptions of reality stops working? Does logic return or does the system go crazy and make things even more messed up?Is it even possible to make things more messed up?

[Chakramaster]

Well as for right now I'm trying to buy myself time to plan out something while I set Brian on seeing exactly how far some of these transformations will actually stretch. Somehow it will for sure end up having him run into another, but unless it happens through someone else's post I don't have it planned at least for a good few more posts. Once things start heating up I'm sure it'll get a little more strange and crazy in things that happen. Like you were saying Neo, yeah the Trick Master probably wouldn't like anything becoming easier. So things are bound to be noticed and get strange.

That's a good question. I imagine it would be pretty chaotic, but again, these are some of the things we can do along the line.

Ever watch the movie Coraline? That movie gets REALLY screwed up, and I imagine it would probably start becoming something along those lines, where the Trick Master gets pissed and makes everything start taking a dark and wicked turn and parts of the Trick House Underground start collapsing or turning in on itself.

Having some bizarre and deranged creatures and things start appearing to challenge and fight our characters might be interesting as well.

Definitely, what Jonathan's doing would be considered "cheating" in the Trick Master's eyes. We're still in the introduction, so the aftermath of the situation won't pop up too soon, but we can definitely make things get dark and crazy further down the road.

[Noblejanobii]

Just an FYI, I've added the nicknames of Sloane and Dylan's Pokemon to the first post.

[Chakramaster]

Hmm, I feel like the way I'm still writing I haven't learned how to explain it as well yet. Don't worry though I'll figure it out soon enough! xD Just taking me a bit of time because some reason I'm finding myself switching on and off with first and third person.

I actually just thought of another crazy one idea I'm going to use soon (most likely next post), but I thought about sources of food and stuff and thought....this sounds like it would work, but be really cruel at the same time. A few other ideas have sprung up, but no idea if it will come up or not.....at least not yet.

[Neo Emolga]

I've been using a randomizer to determine what Pokemon Sonya gets turned into. 1-720 is what I've been going with and the results have been pretty comical. When I saw Galvantula come out of it, I started snickering. That's been the funniest one so far. :P

I was actually wondering if you were actually deciding or just randomly throwing them out there. Luckily none of those *specific* numbers were rolled xD

trying to finish this next post before I get too tired to post as well

[Chakramaster]

I feel as if I might take a bit more time with my next post. Not sure where to take next just yet. Any thoughts for discussion?

Also being my first RP, technically, any critiques? What I'm may not be doing right, how to make it sound better, or is it alright? I know you may think it's good, but I just want personal opinion, as I, personally feel it could use improvements still.

The only thing that stands out to me (and it's not all that big of a deal) is that you switch from third person to first person and then back again several times. It makes it a bit tricky to follow who is the "I" when it switches to first person, but everything else from description, character speech, and organization is FANTASTIC. You definitely have great RPing skills and talents. When it comes to perspective, I'd say consistency might help. For example, I've been RPing in first person from Jonathan's point of view the entire RP. You could go with either first or third person, but switching back and forward does make it a bit confusing. That would be my only complaint, and it's only a minor one at that.

lol I wouldn't really expect complaints anyway since we all have different writing styles xD. Thanks for the critique though, yeah I just thought I'd get some feedback to see if every is able to follow it as easy. It's just taking some time to work around and see what works best. I may try the next few in first person and after that try third person to see which works best for me.....just as soon as I firgure out where to take it next hahaha.

If I ever do switch the first person perspective from being Brian though I'll note it in the text who the perspective is for by either parenthesis, (), or an, *, asterisk marks. Thanks again though. Certainly going to be working with it to figure out how to make it sound as clear as possibly. Guess being alone at the moment gives me time to work with it before having the character meet up with anyone else.

[Chakramaster]

I think I'm going to try getting a post in later tonight. Just looked back over what all happened and found a good spot to take it. Also depends on if Eri changes his too much between now and then. Both our character seem to be in similar places. So I could possibly make one to join in with him for a short while at least.

I'll probably try to change up the writing style to see how it turns out this time. Maybe get some feedback on it later? Every little bit of feedback will help me improve =)

Sure, if you want me to read a certain post in particular and critique it, I could do that, but really, you're doing a great job and I don't really have all that much to point out. No worries, dude, you're an awesome RPer. :D

[Chakramaster]

Well I found a way to push and give me time to think by joining Eri's character (since they were originally in a similar area). While writing it though I thought if the next place to throw him (yeah my character won't be able to figure out those secrets with the doors like Neo's character for a good while at least. I feel like I got a better handling on the writing in that last post. Made me feel more comfortable with it at least.

[Noblejanobii]

So, my three close IRL friends demanded to have cameos in at least one post here, so I featured the three of them as their pokesonas in my most recent post. They may or may not appear again, who knows. Here's what they look like in order of appearance:

You could always come across one of the rooms that Jonathan's been to and has been writing stuff for. So far, the Food Court and the Greenhouse have gotten mapped, so either one of those is fine. The only catch with the Greenhouse is that it's guaranteed to turn your character (and anyone else that's traveling with you) into a grass-type.

I was planning on the food court sometime after Brian or Eevee's first transformation. I'm still deciding if I want to transform Brian first or his Eevee. I kinda wanna push Brian's and I'm trying not to force a Pika transformation so quick is all

About the green house though. It wouldn't effect someone whose transformation is already permanent though right? Just some odd effect like a mushroom or something growing out of their body or something?

Those look awesome either way! Yeah I got Eri to join ( a friend from my old site ) and even though he's been pretty busy lately he's got a few posts in. More we have the crazier things may get. I've even thought of something like how to try to escape IF it happens.

I wonder what would happen if someone became a Palkia and tried using Spacial powers to travel through dimensions while in the Trick House. Would it get them out or will it make things way worse?

They've given me permission to use them in the future if I want. They probably won't join though since they're not very active internet people.

Shiloh laughs at your horror/amusement at his sona. He's from Saudi Arabia so he wanted a djinn as part of his sona. His favorite Pokemon is Flygon. Also his online name is IktomiDjinn. The Iktomi part is a reference to his Sioux heritage. It's pretty much a troublesome spider so we threw some Ariados legs in there for kicks. All those Sprites were made by yours truly by the way.

About the green house though. It wouldn't effect someone whose transformation is already permanent though right? Just some odd effect like a mushroom or something growing out of their body or something?

Those look awesome either way! Yeah I got Eri to join ( a friend from my old site ) and even though he's been pretty busy lately he's got a few posts in. More we have the crazier things may get. I've even thought of something like how to try to escape IF it happens.

I wonder what would happen if someone became a Palkia and tried using Spacial powers to travel through dimensions while in the Trick House. Would it get them out or will it make things way worse?

I'm okay with the Pika transformation. I know you want it, so go ahead! As for the Greenhouse, no transformation is truly permanent. The only way they wouldn't be affected is if they're already a grass type.

As for becoming Palkia, space works differently in the Trick House, so things would get worse.


They've given me permission to use them in the future if I want. They probably won't join though since they're not very active internet people.

Shiloh laughs at your horror/amusement at his sona. He's from Saudi Arabia so he wanted a djinn as part of his sona. His favorite Pokemon is Flygon. Also his online name is IktomiDjinn. The Iktomi part is a reference to his Sioux heritage. It's pretty much a troublesome spider so we threw some Ariados legs in there for kicks. All those Sprites were made by yours truly by the way.

Ah, no problem, but great work on the sprites though!

Should the beach Sloane is thrown on to be the same one with the green-fungus sand that Joshua is on? Or do you want to be somewhere else and keep Sloane on her own for a bit longer?

Oh I'm sure xD. It will happen at some point. In fact, Eri gave me an awesome idea with it too.
Imagine Pika vs his old companion (you know, the dead Pika).

Anyway, ahh that's what you meant by permanent. In your earlier post I thought you literally meant "permanently." Now I see what you mean. You transform them and then just don't have them transform into anything else (other than extra effects like Johnathan's butterfly wings)

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Palkia they may think is good, but really that would be bad. It'd be interesting to see played out though. Especially the Trick Master's reaction.

Yeah, you got it. As for him fighting his own dead Pika companion, geez, that's harsh, but a good plot device. Might be something to pursue when everyone's figuring out ways to pull the whole Trick House apart.

Also, I plan on having some... "interesting" things happen soon with what Jonathan's doing. You'll see.

[Chakramaster]

Yeah it would, but I spoil tagged it for 2 reasons. It's either going to or I'm gonna throw it out entirely.

I'm sure once things really get started its going to be interesting to see what comes up. Right now I'm trying to kinda lead Eri into somehow engaging with me to try and show me that wall so I can get Brian to sketch it out. After that I don't think it will be too much longer before I make him transform into something though.

[Chakramaster]

Small update, but come tomorrow or Monday I will try and get my next post up. I've been a little more busy than usual and haven't had time to delve into the mindset to write up the next part. I originally intended the next post to be rather dark. Now though...I'm not too sure.

As for my last post I kinda feel I had to push away from Eri since I didn't get him to push me really where I needed, but oh well. The wall is roughly sketched out. Oddly enough I have plans to make it have some interesting features.

No problem. I also figured I might need to kick things into gear, since things have slowed down a bit. Things are going to start to take a much darker turn.

Ah yeah, sorry guys I've been meaning to reply but life has really prevented me from doing much on the Internet as of late.

So I am going to put my oc character in this role play lol my friend told me to come to this thread so I did all the info on him so I will be giving the details I guess on here. I may have a second one I really don't know if I would be able to do that tho. So here is my info:
Name: Sapphir Urameshi
Age: 25 (started when he was 15)
Gender: Male
Appearance: Golden blonde hair, one blue eye and one crimson red eye. He is also 5'11" and weighs about 155lbs. He resembles Pokemon Emerald's protagonist.
Current State: Unknown new Region Pokemon League
Personality: Very caring of his Pokemon and shows leadership in stressful situations. Has some naivety and is very trusting but when it comes to battling he is very serious and uses knowledge from battling others to his advantage.
History: Sapphir started his Pokemon journey when he was only 15 years old and during that time before he became a trainer he always befriended Pokemon. His first Pokemon he ever caught was a little tiny, shiny Totodile that he saved from drowning in a whirlpool. From that day, Totodile was always by his side until he finally got his Pokeballs and asked Totodile to join his party. The Pokemon League was intrigued at the idea that a trainer could easily befriend any Pokemon(including legendaries), so they challenged him to take up the position of Champion of the region he was born into (his father is the first and former champion.) The Pokemon League's challenge was for Sapphir to beat all the other regions Elite four members and Champions to even permit him to League Champion of his Region. So it took Sapphir about 8 years to beat every Gym leader and champions of all the regions and now he has claimed his rightful spot of Champion of his Pokemon region.
Pokémon: Feraligatr (shiny), Sceptile(special shiny instead of red it has blue. Can mega-evolve), Charizard(shiny its eyes are lighter blue instead of red and completely black. Can mega-evolve into Mega Charizard Y), Gallade ( can mega-evolve into Mega Gallade), Electrivire( shiny), Noivern (very special Noibat Sapphir caught during his travels it has a different coloration that other Noiverns don't have but it isn't shiny.)
Entrapment Length: About a month (he kinda likes the Trap Master. He likes puzzles very much.)
Other: The new Region's Pokemon League Champion (was sent to the other regions to battle their Elite Fours and Champions to prove to the Pokemon League he was capable of being a Champion of the new Region.) (Having trouble with what to call the new Pokemon Region. Will come up with one soon.)

[Neo Emolga]

So I am going to put my oc character in this role play

Interesting, sounds like most people would know this guy's gone missing. We'll see what happens.

In any case, Accepted and enjoy the RP. :D

[SSGodRage]

I will definitely like this RP lol and also thanks for accepting my OC �� I may have one more OC more like Sapphir's friend and rival but I really don't know right now lol. The problem is the rivals back story is going to be hard to produce.

Well this is bad. I got so caught up in other things I forgot to come on PXR for a while... and now I have no idea what's going on. Judging from What I've skimmed, everything has gone to hell and it is highly likely that whatever my characters were doing is now obsolete.

Could I have a recap and maybe some suggestions on how to get my characters back in?

Long story short, the Trick Master caught onto Jonathan's labeling plans and was forced to reset the Trick House to a darker and more primative map. He put the various characters in rather tortuous forms, but after a rather grotesque Goodra explosion, it was discovered that there was no backup for this map so it was prone to glitches. The only way to escape is to pretty much destroy the whole place, but since the place quite possibly is linked to Jirachi via the Trick Master's wishes, this could result in the death of Jirachi.

At the moment, here are the locations of various characters:
-Sloane (PC), Shiloh (NPC), and Patty (NPC) as well as many other obsolete characters and their teams are currently in a safe haven city that, when you step under its mist fountains, return you back to your normal form. Azlan (NPC) and Dylan's Pokemon team will be arriving there shortly as well.
-Dylan (PC) and Fox (PC) are currently making their way from the beach towards a nearby abandoned city in hopes of finding some signs of life.
-Jonathan (PC) and Hemlock (NPC) have met and are assessing each other inside the abandoned city as they debate whether or not to trust one another.

I know that I'm kinda late but I read the whole RP and I love it and would like to play it too! Can I still do it?

[Neo Emolga]

Wow, you read everything in there? Most of the people that were in it have already left, leaving only Alphys and myself just tossing the ball back and forward. I was also intending on wrapping it up soon. What I could do is write an epilogue that closes the book on this installment but opens the way for a sequel.

Alphys Chakramaster Morzone

What could happen is Jonathan, Hemlock, Dylan, and Fox ultimately cause the Trick House Underground to collapse, but they fail at stopping the Trick Master from using Jirachi's third and final wish in time. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how the Trick Master is able to expand his power into the rest of the world.

Would you guys be interested in something like that or some kind of sequel to this that pretty much summarizes what happened in this, but keeps the same style of RP going?

I'm also open to discuss the plot of the sequel. The whole premise I had in mind is the Trick Master, using Jirachi's powers, is now able to expand his power into the real world, which has allowed him to use it as a catalyst to form and rebuild his destroyed wonderland. Unlike before, people can't cause this version to collapse, because it would mean the apocalypse for everyone. And things get out of hand FAST. Unlike before, where the rest of the world was oblivious to what was going on in the Trick House, now everyone knows about it and has to endure it.

In this version, you're a person that has already been trapped and suffering through the first versions of the Trick House Underground (which allows you to use the same characters as before or make new ones). However, because of your previous exposure to the effects of the Trick House Underground, the new, warped reality doesn't affect you chaotically like it did before and your character has learned how to control it and manipulate it to their advantage somewhat (an understanding that gets stronger as the RP progresses). While the rest of the unexposed world is subject to the ill and chaotic effects of the reality-warping, you're less prone to the negative effects and instead harness it to help you deal with some of the nastier minions and effects the Trick Master has unleashed into the world to force it to submit to his rule. Now that you're able to grasp how this reality-manipulating effect works, you're now more of a force to be reckoned with than even the legendary Pokémon that can barely handle this new chaotic reality. The rest of the world needs your help and is now looking toward you for a solution.

The Trick Master's goal now is to eliminate his previous "test subjects" that have learned how his powers work and the legendary Pokémon so that he can simply replace them with his own to call him the master of all. Just don't get too attached to these new and dreamy powers you've managed to gain an understanding of, because it will all have to be undone. And for some, that may be a hard thing to give up. It may even result in one of you becoming the very thing you've been trying to stop all along...

But yeah, let me know what you guys think. I'm totally open for suggestions, alterations, and opinions about this. I'd also like to make it so that new people can easily get in on this, so if there is a sequel, it will somewhat feel like a new RP, but it would be in the spirit of this one.

[Noblejanobii]

I'm totally up for this. Looks amazing, sounds amazing, let's do it.

[Shenili]

WOW I thought Hoenn Enigma is cool but this is better! I have no idea how it could turn out! RP could also be named like some other rotor machine (machine for coding messages) like Fialka or Enma or it could be simply named World Enigma! I can't imagine how crazy the outside world even gets! Can you make an example?

[Morzone]

Sorry for dropping out, but since my characters had been left so far behind I honestly hadn't had a clue on how to bring them back into the RP.

Anyway, are we going to be using the characters we created for this RP since they're the ones that had already been in the trick house for a good time, or are just going to make new ones? (Some of the characters were pretty new)

Either way I really liked the sound of this!

Neo said in the explanation you can reuse old characters or create new ones.

[Morzone]

Ah I must have missed it. Thanks!

[Shenili]

Yay!! Epilogue! Now, let's make a character!! ^▽^ Uhm.. I hope that Sign-up form doesn't change.

It won't, just need to write up the storyline for the sequel. That shouldn't take me too long.

[Morzone]

Are you going to make a new SU thread for the sequel, or just keep using this one?
