    GCEA Team Galactic Diamond Version (Sign-Up)



    You are a victim of chance. Without your consent or agreement beings of greater power have flipped a coin and you were on the losing end. You were sucked into a chain of events that escapes your understanding. In this whirlwind of chaos, many others have been stolen from their homeworlds and pulled through wormholes to be brought here to this worlds version of Sinnoh in the present day. This new world you are in is not yours but you would be hard pressed to point out any real differences without further inspection. To further add to the confusion the wormholes that brought you here left you in a precarious situation. Shortly before you arrived a group of trainers like you were involved in an act that has them wanted. Public perception of those events have turned to fear of these outsiders. You are now in a world that is more afraid of you than you of it. A world that seeks to find you and control you. This is not a time to be alone.

    Thats where we come in. We are Team Galactic and we are to here to help you out. We believe that you are special and have something of value to offer. We have sought you out in hopes that we can bring you into our organization to help us unravel this mystery. Team Galactic has to operate outside of the laws to protect people from themselves.

    The Sign-Up form is under the spoiler tag. When filling out the Sign-Up form it is important to remember the character you pick will be the character you use in the game. Below are a couple of other things to keep in mind.

    Things to Remember
    *Your character must be between 16-20
    *No swearing, Weapons or extreme violence. ( There will be moments in the story where violence will take place but this will be limited.) No swearing as it breaks forum rules. However, beyond swearing, the personality and language of your character are up to you.
    *Team Galactic is a criminal organization so your character will resort to things like petty theft at a minimum. A righteous goody goody will not work in this story. (Expect being a possible spy or someone who betrays Team Galactic but that has to be cleared with me through PM.)
    * Since you have traveled through a wormhole you can't run into yourself or family.
    *You can be from any Region including Sinnoh in your homeworld.
    *No characters will be from the current world. You will be entering this world alone and without any friends, families or otherwise.
    *No super-powered characters, you can not be an expert battler as that would not fit in with the story. Remember you are a starting trainer.
    *You can have an NPC that tags along either yourself or a friend who is also playing if you get it approved.
    *There will be direct consequences to your actions. Team Galactic is mostly hidden. So drawing too much attention and risks ruining a mission will result in a reaction from local law and Team Galactic hireups

    Story Version: Galactic
    Name: Isaac “Specter” Pemberton
    Age: 19
    Gender: Male
    Appearance: Isaac has pale skin, messy medium length straw coloured hair and green eyes. He normally wears expensive black shirts and grey trousers. He is often seen wearing a large dark-grey backpack which contains his “Stage outfit”

    As the Specter he wears a sharp white tailcoat and leggings, accompanied by a white domino-style mask shaped like a pair of feathery wings. His hair is neatened up and more slicked, and if he doesn’t anticipate needing to crawl through tight spaces he adds a white top hat fascinator.

    As Isaac, he tends to slouch and blend into the background, and in general give the impression that he’d rather be somewhere else, whereas the Specter is upright and suave, drawing your attention and keeping it with his flamboyant gestures.

    Height/Weight: 5’9, 146 lbs.
    Personality:
    Isaac has never been good at the regal thing, acting out of turn more like a peasant than a person of such wealth and stature. However his upbringing shows through at time, and he always expects to get his own way, being surprised when money can’t solve every problem.

    He is determined, and is dedicated to success, planning out and learning as much as possible before any given mission, and never giving up after a failure, keeping at a job until completion, sometimes to his detriment, as he has a hard time letting things go.
    As an addition to that, he is sometimes petty and will hold a grudge near indefinitely, getting revenge for even the smallest slight.

    He’s always put himself as top priority, and wouldn’t hesitate to throw allies under the bus either for the sake of the mission or just to save his own skin.

    He also likes to challenge himself, refusing jobs that he considers beneath him, as though he’s got something to prove.

    While he is okay taking orders, he doesn’t like people who abuse their power over others, and only works for others when absolutely necessary.

    He also avoids any unnecessary violence, preferring to sneak away when possible.

    Personal Traits that describe your character: Driven, Attention Seeker, Rebel, Vindictive.

    Backstory: From the day he was born, Isaac’s life was dictated by his father. He wasn’t allowed pokemon of his own, as they were a symbol of status and not to be played with or used in battles. He was trained in gymnastics and fencing ever day, regardless of how much he complained or tried to wheedle out of it.

    He met a Zorua in the streets one day, and the two became friends. The Zorua would help him play tricks on his teachers and parents.

    One day when he snuck off from his fencing class, he saw a battle at the Phenac Colosseum. Watching the high-level competition, something within him stirred, and he knew that this was his calling.

    He borrowed some pokemon from the servants, and began to learn how to battle, practicing with other new trainers in Phenac, but he was quickly found by his father, who banned him from such pointless wastes of time.

    Isaac however was undeterred. Breaking into his family’s funds, he purchased some combat-ready pokemon under the guise of them being status symbols and began to sneak off to Pyrite town, entering the Colloseum battles there under the guise of a masked trainer called The Specter, while his Zorua imitated him back at home so as to avoid suspicion.

    At first he was terrible, being the laughingstock of the town. The clueless ponce who barely knew the basics of battling. But he learned from his failures, and over time began to improve, though never quite reaching the heights he dreamed of.

    After one tournament, he was approached by a group called Cipher, who were looking to recruit trainers like him. To Isaac’s surprise, they knew not only who he was, but that he was a trained gymnast too, and that despite his questionable battling skills, his key skills made up for it.

    A few days later, Isaac returned home to find his father waiting furiously for him. He had discovered the Zorua’s ruse, and as punishment confiscated all Isaac’s pokemon indefinitely, including sending away the Zorua to an undisclosed location, simply stating that Isaac no longer needed to worry about it, and confining him to the manor until further notice.

    That was the last straw. Isaac donned the Specter guise once more, and using his knowledge of the house he broke into the storeroom and took back his pokemon, along with his father’s prized trophy Ninetails, leaving a note from the Specter in their place, before leaving home to take up Cipher’s offer.

    Upon joining, he worked mainly as a thief, getting things without being noticed. Using the Specter persona, he was able to distance his connection with Cipher, allowing them to target high-profile targets without revealing themselves.

    He left calling cards at his victims, and began to make some thefts on his own to further distance himself from Cipher in the public eye, while slowly making a name for himself as a new Phantom Thief, while his Cipher connections silenced any chance of his family revealing his true identity.

    1. Family: Aside from his parents, Isaac has twin younger siblings, Joan and Julian.
    While he isn’t really close, he has some affection for them, while they look up to him as an idol. After leaving home he periodically sends home gifts to them, such as pokemon and items he no longer needs.

    He is distant from his parents, having been at odds with his father’s vision of what he should be since the day he was born, and never getting close to his mother, who hired servants to raise him and in his eyes never stood up for him against his father.

    2. Pokemon experience: When he was 13 he found a Zorua and semi adopted it, but once he was found out using it’s help to sneak away to the colosseums by his father, it was taken away and he never saw it again.
    After meeting the Zorua, he frequently snuck out to watch colosseum battles, eventually buying a team of pokemon and entering them himself, throwing himself in at the deep end but slowly rising through the ranks to become one of the most notable up and coming trainers in Pyrite.

    3. Past experience that has defined your character: When he was 13 he began to frequently sneak away from the manor, on one such trip he saw his first Colloseum battle, leading to his love for pokemon battling.
    After he was found out, his father banned him from pokemon battles, leading to his development of the Specter persona and obtaining his own pokemon.
    Then there was the time his pokemon were confiscated, leading to him cutting ties with his family and accepting Cipher’s previous offer.

    When his pokemon were taken, with the Zorua not being officially his, he never found out where his father sent it, and it’s loss caused him to avoid making connection with any more pokemon, instead treating them more as temporary allies that companions or friends.

    4. Special Talents: Due to his mandatory training, Isaac is skilled in Gymnastics and Acrobatics, which help him greatly in infiltration missions. He has basic fencing skills, though he payed little attention and snuck from lessons away many times.
    Special Pokemon: Zorua?
    Personal Goals: To become so famous that everyone would know the tales of the master thief Specter.
    Pet Peeves:
    Being told what he can and can’t do. People who make a mess and don’t tidy up after themselves. Inaccurate heist films. Heavily opinionated people.
    Region: Orre
    Favorite Pokemon: Zorua
    Favorite Type: Dark


    What starter Pokemon: Piplup
    Drawing or Writing: Drawing mainly, but both.
    Contest Starter:
    Is this a part of Galactic? Uhh, Eevee I guess?
    Side Notes: In Isaac’s world Ein never developed Shadow Pokemon, so Cipher stayed in the shadows and their existence is unknown to the world at large.

    This took way more effort than it should have. I've written backstories several times longer in half the time.

    Story Version: Galactic Diamond
    Name: Luke Anderson
    Age: 19
    Gender: Male
    Appearance: Luke stands at about 5'9 and weighs 146 pounds. He has an average build. He has short and wavy dark brown hair, greenish hazel eyes, and moderately light skin. He typically wears loose fitting jeans and plain T-shirts. Usually, he wears neutral or dull colored clothes.
    Personality: Luke tends to come across as apathetic. His apparent lack of emotion makes it difficult to tell how he's really feeling. He lacks motivation, not seeing the point in putting a lot of effort into things. He avoids conflict as much as possible. He tends to be quiet and not say more than he needs to, but will open up if the conversation involves something he has an interest in. He often likes to cite facts and statistics from books he's read.
    Personal Traits that describe your character: Apathetic, quiet
    Backstory: Luke was born in Oreburgh City, Sinnoh. His father worked long hours in the Oreburgh mines, and was often not around. Growing up, he was always causing trouble, frequently picking fights with other students. As he got older, he preferred to just skip school, finding it easier to just avoid other people all together. Often instead of attending school he would find himself reading at the library. Although he would do okay in school when he actually tried, he felt little motivation to do so. His parents would always scold him and ask him why he couldn't be more like his sister.

    Eventually, Luke's sister managed to knock some sense into him. Luke realized that things couldn't keep going the way they were forever. He decided that he would study to become a programmer. With hard work he managed to make up for his past failure enough to get accepted to college for Computer Science.

    Luke found college more difficult than he had expected. He struggled his way through his first year with moderate success. During his summer break however, his father was killed in an accident at the mines. Luke entered a state of depression, and upon returning to school found that he no longer had any motivation left. His performance steadily declined, and he eventually dropped out of college. With little hope for the future, he locked himself in his room, wasting the days away playing video games and listening to heavy metal until the day the wormhole took him.
    1. Family:
    May, Luke's older sister who he greatly respects. Currently studying to become a biologist.
    Luke's Father, who works in the Oreburgh mines.
    Luke's mother, who works in someplace, idk.
    2. Pokemon experience: Minimal direct experience with Pokemon, although he has read about them
    3. Past experience that has defined your character: Luke's sister is the only thing that was ever able to motivate him to try to accomplish anything.
    4. Special Talents: Luke knows how to do simple programming.
    Special Pokemon: Arceus
    Personal Goals: Don't die
    Pet Peeves: People who don't know when to give up
    Region: Sinnoh
    Favorite Pokemon: Porygon
    Favorite Type: Steel
    What starter Pokemon: Chimchar
    Drawing or Writing: idk
    Contest Starter: idk what this is
    Side Notes: Luke can often be found wearing earbuds and listening to heavy metal music. Luke reads a lot, and remembers a lot of random information from books he's read.

    I feel like the whole unmotivated thing could raise some concerns, but I promise not to let it be a situation of "Go on a mission? nah, I'd rather just sit here and sleep."

    A few days later, Isaac returned home to find his father waiting furiously for him. He had discovered the Zorua’s ruse, and as punishment confiscated all Isaac’s pokemon indefinitely, including sending away the Zorua to an undisclosed location, simply stating that Isaac no longer needed to worry about it, and confining him to the manor until further notice.

    That was the last straw. Isaac donned the Specter guise once more, and using his knowledge of the house he broke into the storeroom and took back his pokemon, along with his father’s prized trophy Ninetails, leaving a note from the Specter in their place, before leaving home to take up Cipher’s offer.

    Upon joining, he worked mainly as a thief, getting things without being noticed. Using the Specter persona, he was able to distance his connection with Cipher, allowing them to target high-profile targets without revealing themselves.

    He left calling cards at his victims, and began to make some thefts on his own to further distance himself from Cipher in the public eye, while slowly making a name for himself as a new Phantom Thief, while his Cipher connections silenced any chance of his family revealing his true identity.

    1. Family: Aside from his parents, Isaac has twin younger siblings, Joan and Julian.
    While he isn’t really close, he has some affection for them, while they look up to him as an idol. After leaving home he periodically sends home gifts to them, such as pokemon and items he no longer needs.

    He is distant from his parents, having been at odds with his father’s vision of what he should be since the day he was born, and never getting close to his mother, who hired servants to raise him and in his eyes never stood up for him against his father.

    2. Pokemon experience: When he was 13 he found a Zorua and semi adopted it, but once he was found out using it’s help to sneak away to the colosseums by his father, it was taken away and he never saw it again.
    After meeting the Zorua, he frequently snuck out to watch colosseum battles, eventually buying a team of pokemon and entering them himself, throwing himself in at the deep end but slowly rising through the ranks to become one of the most notable up and coming trainers in Pyrite.

    3. Past experience that has defined your character: When he was 13 he began to frequently sneak away from the manor, on one such trip he saw his first Colloseum battle, leading to his love for pokemon battling.
    After he was found out, his father banned him from pokemon battles, leading to his development of the Specter persona and obtaining his own pokemon.
    Then there was the time his pokemon were confiscated, leading to him cutting ties with his family and accepting Cipher’s previous offer.

    When his pokemon were taken, with the Zorua not being officially his, he never found out where his father sent it, and it’s loss caused him to avoid making connection with any more pokemon, instead treating them more as temporary allies that companions or friends.

    4. Special Talents: Due to his mandatory training, Isaac is skilled in Gymnastics and Acrobatics, which help him greatly in infiltration missions. He has basic fencing skills, though he payed little attention and snuck from lessons away many times.
    Special Pokemon: Zorua?
    Personal Goals: To become so famous that everyone would know the tales of the master thief Specter.
    Pet Peeves:
    Being told what he can and can’t do. People who make a mess and don’t tidy up after themselves. Inaccurate heist films. Heavily opinionated people.
    Region: Orre
    Favorite Pokemon: Zorua
    Favorite Type: Dark


    What starter Pokemon: Piplup
    Drawing or Writing: Drawing mainly, but both.
    Contest Starter:
    Is this a part of Galactic? Uhh, Eevee I guess?
    Side Notes: In Isaac’s world Ein never developed Shadow Pokemon, so Cipher stayed in the shadows and their existence is unknown to the world at large.

    My main concern is the inclusion of shadow pokemon. GCEA covered the Colosseum timeline already in past cannon. Meaning that Cipher and Shadow pokemon could be a thing but the events of Orre happend 20 plus years ago. They would have happened before he was born. Unless Isaacs character is from a world that is still at that point. If you want the Orre storyline to be part of his backstory then Isaac will not only be in a different universe but he will technically be in his 30s. (Maybe not physically but when he finds out the date.)

    Story Version: Galactic Diamond
    Name: Luke Anderson
    Age: 19
    Gender: Male
    Appearance: Luke stands at about 5'9 and weighs 146 pounds. He has an average build. He has short and wavy dark brown hair, greenish hazel eyes, and moderately light skin. He typically wears loose fitting jeans and plain T-shirts. Usually, he wears neutral or dull colored clothes.
    Personality: Luke tends to come across as apathetic. His apparent lack of emotion makes it difficult to tell how he's really feeling. He lacks motivation, not seeing the point in putting a lot of effort into things. He avoids conflict as much as possible. He tends to be quiet and not say more than he needs to, but will open up if the conversation involves something he has an interest in. He often likes to cite facts and statistics from books he's read.
    Personal Traits that describe your character: Apathetic, quiet
    Backstory: Luke was born in Oreburgh City, Sinnoh. His father worked long hours in the Oreburgh mines, and was often not around. Growing up, he was always causing trouble, frequently picking fights with other students. As he got older, he preferred to just skip school, finding it easier to just avoid other people all together. Often instead of attending school he would find himself reading at the library. Although he would do okay in school when he actually tried, he felt little motivation to do so. His parents would always scold him and ask him why he couldn't be more like his sister.

    Eventually, Luke's sister managed to knock some sense into him. Luke realized that things couldn't keep going the way they were forever. He decided that he would study to become a programmer. With hard work he managed to make up for his past failure enough to get accepted to college for Computer Science.

    Luke found college more difficult than he had expected. He struggled his way through his first year with moderate success. During his summer break however, his father was killed in an accident at the mines. Luke entered a state of depression, and upon returning to school found that he no longer had any motivation left. His performance steadily declined, and he eventually dropped out of college. With little hope for the future, he locked himself in his room, wasting the days away playing video games and listening to heavy metal until the day the wormhole took him.
    1. Family:
    May, Luke's older sister who he greatly respects. Currently studying to become a biologist.
    Luke's Father, who works in the Oreburgh mines.
    Luke's mother, who works in someplace, idk.
    2. Pokemon experience: Minimal direct experience with Pokemon, although he has read about them
    3. Past experience that has defined your character: Luke's sister is the only thing that was ever able to motivate him to try to accomplish anything.
    4. Special Talents: Luke knows how to do simple programming.
    Special Pokemon: Arceus
    Personal Goals: Don't die
    Pet Peeves: People who don't know when to give up
    Region: Sinnoh
    Favorite Pokemon: Porygon
    Favorite Type: Steel
    What starter Pokemon: Chimchar
    Drawing or Writing: idk
    Contest Starter: idk what this is
    Side Notes: Luke can often be found wearing earbuds and listening to heavy metal music. Luke reads a lot, and remembers a lot of random information from books he's read.

    I feel like the whole unmotivated thing could raise some concerns, but I promise not to let it be a situation of "Go on a mission? nah, I'd rather just sit here and sleep."

    Contest starter means that you will have the chance to have a starter pokemon with you when you enter this world. If that doesnt fit the story its fine. But you could have a starter or pokemon that you get cleared as a starter or partner with you.
