Finally done :P

Spoiler:

Name: Silia Dune
Age: 23
Side: Neutral/Unaware
Rank: Glassblower
Gender: Female
Appearance: Rather simple, really. Silia typically wears heavier clothing to protect herself from her line of work, which involves temperatures higher than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. This consists of rather stereotypical clothes: a thick, long sleeved light brown shirt with denim jeans that are worn from constant use. She has thick, brown boots to which the jeans are tucked into, as well as even thicker leather gloves. She wears a heavy smock/apron on her front, shielding her further from the extreme heat. She often has a pair of safety goggles propped on top of her head.

Her exposed skin is slightly darker, but not so much as to give her the appearance of African-American descent. Rather, it is the result of the light and heat generated from working with glass. Silia’s eyes are primarily green, with flecks of blue spread within, and her hair is a thick ponytail of chestnut brown. Her Pokeballs are hidden in a fanny pack (color matching her shirt), which often holds a bottle of water as well as basic tools like a wrench and screwdriver.

Personality: If I had to describe Silia in one word, that word would be timid. Having been raised by her father who taught her the craft, she prefers to be alone with her glass than out and about with others. When caught in public, she tends to stay quiet and give her thoughts carefully for fear of insulting people, for her social skills aren’t as well trained as they should be. That fear makes her have a difficult time giving important information if it takes a lot of explanation, as it requires more speaking. She has a big heart, but it doesn’t always show because of this.

However, this quiet personality rapidly changes to a more robust, confident one as soon as her glass work is involved. She is immensely proud of her craft and will take offense if it is insulted. She has no problem talking about it as long as the topic is related to her craft – she will start to revert to her timid nature should it diverge from it. Silia can babble on and on about her glass, which shows that she can indeed be confident and a chatterbox when inspired to be. She’s very intelligent and creative, but this is apparent from her line of work, and this does not disappear even in timid mode.

She’s more confident with her friend and father, and Pokemon, talking a bit more, but only because she is more comfortable. She is still careful of upsetting them, and should that happen, will do whatever it takes to make them feel better. Getting to be her friend is difficult, but once you are she is loyal, unless you cross her in which case she will not seek revenge. Rather, she would prefer to leave the situation and never talk to you again.

History: Born to her parents, Sandra and Bari Dune in Gateon Port, long before the war happened. Silia was homeschooled due to her father’s belief that school wouldn’t make her a better glassworker, and as such, she never attended college. Her life was rather uneventful as her family worked on teaching her the craft of glassblowing as early as seven years old. Her mother, Sandra, fell into a large dispute with Bari, not agreeing with his way of life and refusal to move to a more populated region (although to be fair, Orre itself was starting to get more populated). She divorced him and lost custody of Silia, moving to a far off region.

Bari was left heartbroken and sometimes took his anger out on his daughter, but he loved her regardless and used his strict upbringing to keep her on the right path. At age 14, Silia won her first glassblower championship, and has won at least nine more, including two nationals. Continuing the tradition, she picked Sandile as her main Pokemon, and has added more to her “team” to help her sculpt. She and her father were present when the cluster happened, but her powers did not develop until considerably later. Only her father and best friend know of her abilities, and her father allowed her to experiment with her only mechanical creation (using programming she taught herself via books and her best friend, a local computer tech named Eddie), but under the strict rules of keeping it hidden.

Her family has stayed out of the war, keeping their shop “Classy Glass” safe since it was not a viable target. She still intends to stay out of it, and in any case, her abilities are not considered useful, at least in her opinion. She would rather keep her family’s longstanding tradition – at least nine generations strong – going, and no war is going to stop that.

Pokemon:


Name: Gobi
Gender: Male
Ability: Moxie
Personality: More or less, spunky and determined. His favorite move is Aqua Tail.


Name: Thal
Gender: Male
Ability: Sand Force
Personality: Serious and quiet, used with glassblowing for his sand. Favorite move is Sand Tomb.


Name: Sahara
Gender: Female
Ability: Simple
Personality: Sweet and gentle, and provides plenty of heat for working. Favorite move is Flame Charge.


Name: Blue
Gender: Male
Ability: Levitate
Personality: Cocky, very, very cocky and willing to fight, and due to being a gift from her grandfather, doesn't listen very well to her. Favorite move is Dragon Claw. Please note he is shiny, but the website I got the model from doesn't have shiny ones yet ^^'

Powers:
Breaker (1): This prevents Silia from taking damage from her working with the materials her Striker ability modifies, protecting her from the intense heat that is created from molding the items into shapes. It also guards her from any electricity generated from metal she is actively working on, but really, that’s all it is. It is very weak and basic, and only protects her from side effects of her own powers.

Striker (5): Her ability targets materials such as metal, sand and anything derived from them. She can warp them into any shape she wants by vibrating the molecules, which generates heat and allows her to form them into any shape she wants. The more she vibrates the molecules, the more heat is generated. She cannot impact anything living with this, but she can use it to at least create even more works of art.

Tinker (8): Silia specializes in glass technology. Anything with glass, and she can work with it. This does extend to metals, although it takes a bit of adjusting to get used to new material, and programming is a weaker forte but doable with enough time and practice. Her most notable achievement is a mechanical hybrid with the form of a Rapidash, the wings and tail of a Noivern, and the gem (which is what I presume the mist comes from) of a Musharna. To avoid going into lengthy detail, she bought the gem from a trader as well as the Roggenrolla power core that sustains the creation, and it is all covered in a layer of glass. This is her best achievement yet, although she tries to keep it hidden as no one knows she has her powers, aside from her father.

Other: Her father loans her Thal, the Hippowdon. He belongs to both of them, really. Her father also owns a Garchomp, Krookodile, Onix, and Flareon. Her best friend, Eddie Odem, owns a Magnezone, Klank, Beldum, and Dedenne.

Silia is accepted.

Any chance of there being a lab system eventually where people can catch more than six Pokemon? :P

Good luck /finding/ them. Orre's wilds are all hiding. Snag Machines are obsolete as a whole. You could theoretically kill someone and take their Pokemon, but it's very probable that some of their Pokemon and some of yours will die, making it extremely likely that you will not have more than six

Also, RP goes up tomorrow. It was going to go up today, but I need rest because I'm sick.

Astrid has had finishing touches edited in, barring a huge description of all of her "toys" because I honestly have forgotten almost all the ideas I once had for them. Am I safe to run ideas for those by you was we go?

Yes, that's fine. As long as you run them by me.

[Dragotech]

Any chance I can get these characters off as reserves, I just came across this and would love to be a part of it if I am able. I am not completely sure if I will be able or how long I will be able.

Spoiler:

Name: Luke the Crow

Age: 26

Side: Neutral
Rank: As high a rank as you can be working for yourself

Gender: male

Appearance: He is "usually" about 1'08" though he prefers to be a Murkrow than a human. As a human he is typically 5'09" and weighs a good 170 pounds. Luke's skin color is somewhat pale. Granted that typically is how he prefers to look. His eye color is always blue. His hair under normal circumstances is black and short. He appears to be lean and muscled. His choice of clothing includes a black, sleeveless hoodie underneath a brown leather trench coat. He wears a pair of black chinos and a broken-in pair of boots. He has a black leather satchel in which he carries his things. He has a pouch full of steel ball bearings tied to his belt. On the other side of his belt Luke has his pokeballs.
Personality: His past experiences and current present have made him socially awkward. He has always tended to enjoy solidarity over belonging to a crowd. He tends to seem cold at first meeting. For this reason, he tends to not have too many friends.

However it wouldn't be inaccurate to say that he has a desire to re-enter loops and not be a stranger in the background. It would be safe to say he would revert to his old disciplines and act selflessly for those who are his allies. His primary trait would be his loyalty.

History: He was born under the name Marion Perkinson. He grew up with his family owning a multi-martial arts dojo that came about through the disagreement of what martial arts specialty was superior. His father had not agreed with his uncles who had not agreed with each other either. It has long since been demolished. He was trained in multiple forms of martial arts since he was of young age. Though he lost most of his formerly known discipline after the loss of his family, he retained his level of mastery in hand-to-hand and armed fighting.

After he had lost his family, he was an orphan living on the streets. It wasn't long until he decided what to do with his life. He joined Team Snagem when they would take him. He worked as a snatcher until right before shadow pokemon began to appear. He didn't want his life to continue on this path, so without a word he disappeared. He began seeking a way to make what he needed the right way. He worked as a carpenter in Pyrite town and managed to just barely survive on what he earned.

Then he woke up one day, and something was different. He had the urge to leave. The air had become different here to him. So he spread black wings to his surprise and took to the sky. This lasted only a short time. He sat on one of the buildings of old Pyrite. On top of the old jail in fact. He climbed down and went home wondering what had occurred and glad that no one had witnessed anything terribly more unusual than a carpenter climbing down from an old building. It is evident that he does not have a presence in Pyrite any longer, but where he is and what he is doing now is a mystery to most.

Pokemon:

Sparks/Heliolisk: A mischievous and fun loving Heliolisk, she tends to enjoy harmless pranks. He received her from one of his uncles after he returned from the Kalos region. Ability Sand Veil

Eltry/Crobat: A loyal companion to Luke, Eltry is one of his oldest friends. He received Eltry from his father as a Zubat. He acts as the leader when their master is away. He eagerly awaits his masters call. Ability Infiltrator

Spindle/Ariados: An old friend of his. She is one of the few Pokémon he caught himself. Ability Insomnia

Heracles/Machamp: A fierce ally of Luke, he may not be the brightest but he makes up for it with brute force. He was a gift from his uncle. Ability No Guard

Prometheus/Duskull: At one point the forlorn soul of one of his father's lost pokemon, he was found by Luke. Despite a few shortcomings they have become well bonded friends. Ability Levitate

Nails/Sneasel: Despite acting as Sparks' sister in crime, she acts as another member of Luke's team. She was given to him by yet another uncle. Ability Pickpocket

Powers:

Changer 9: He can modify his own body in almost any way he pleases. He tends to use it to alter himself into a Pokémon, but he can do far more than that. He has the capability to alter his flesh to make it like metal to make weapons of himself or to use his skin as an armor. He can alter his physical appearance as he deams necessary for what purpose he wishes to achieve. His other abilities are mere extensions of his power.

Striker 5: Upon contact he can use his Changer abilities on other creatures or objects to modify them. Of course he has to use himself or his target as material for the transformation, of course other people aren't as pliable so he can't do quite as much as he can to himself. As an example, he uses his changer abilities to make his pouch of nearly harmless ball bearings into a dagger.

Breaker 6: He passively alters reality so that his transformations are painless, and the exchanges don't have to be exactly equivalent. He can't make something out of nothing, but he can make something for different and more or less of it.

Other: His clothing is an extension of him, therefore it isn't lost when he changes form. His satchel and belt however are not, and therefore have to be stashed somewhere while he is not in a human form. His T-shirt that you don't see is blue.

Spoiler:

Name: Loreli Nelson

Age: 23

Side: Neutral
Rank: None

Gender: Female

Appearance: She stands at about 5'03" and weighs about 128 pounds. She is freckled all over her pale face and a naturally born red-head who could use a hair cut. She has large green eyes that are magnified by the large frames of her glasses. She wears blue shorts as well as black and green sneakers. She also has a green vest over a blue t-shirt. One accessory she is never without... Headphones.

Personality: She is a techie who will take technology over a social life any day. Needless to say... she doesn't get out much. Sure she is ambitious and passionate about it as long as it runs on batteries or plugs into a wall. Of course like any trainer she does care about her Pokémon. Even the ones that aren't made of metal and don't need to eat ever, and she legitimately tries not to be neglectful.

Despite her obsession with all things electrical, she is actually a caring person. You just wouldn't be able to tell if she is surrounded in fun electronics.

History: Loreli grew up in a fairly privileged household. Both her parents worked hard to provide for the family. Good old dad was an archeologist, and mom managed a construction business from her desk at home in Agate village. She encountered technology early on. As she grew she became more in-tune with technology, which was fine for her parents as long as she kept her marks up in school.

It did eventually become worrisome to them that she was always alone, so they gave her a fairly simple Pokémon to keep. A Porygon was as suited for technology as she was and was a gateway for her to acquire the skill take care of other Pokémon. Granted certain other Pokémon didn't turn out as well. Her Slaking has little to no respect for her, and now there is a pestering Murkrow that she doesn't remember even catching hanging around.
Pokemon:

Glitch/Porygon Z: Her first ever Pokémon at its fully evolved stage. It acts as her reality check alarm clock fairly often. Aside from that duty it is a loyal friend to her. She also hacked into it to alter its code here in there. Ability Download

Kane/Rampardos: She received Kane from a resurrected fossil that her father acquired. He acts as a loyal guardian even if he isn't the most obedient Pokémon she has, and he has a reckless streak. Ability Mold Breaker

Bill/Abomasnow: She acquired Bill as its pre-evolved form. Bill is another of her loyal guardians and keeps Kane in check if the situation calls for it. Ability Snow Warning

Lazarus/Slaking: He is a lazy lug of a Slaking. He ignores his trainer completely. Kane and Bill tend to watch him just as much as they do their opponents. Ability Truant

Vox/Magnemite: Vox is a fairly happy little magnet creature. Its trainer's performance with it is satisfactory since it does not require food or affection it is generally satisfied. Ability Analytic

Priest/Yamask: He is a strange little Pokémon as far as Loreli is concerned. He is a narcissistic Yamask that tends to stare at himself and enjoy it. Ability Mummy

Powers:

Thinker 3: She was a smart cookie before, now she can come up with decisive decisions quickly, and still remember to feed her Slaking.

Tinker 4: Her skill at creating things has improved.

Spoiler:

Her favorite pen now has a built in Laser pointer and when the button for the pointer is held down and the pen is clicked the pen's head is ejected and turned into a taser utilizing the same battery as the pointer. It needs to be rebuilt and the battery replaced to be reused... The pen part will still work though.

Her cell phone has been gutted and rewired to allow it to receive radio frequencies like a typical car radio. It can still be used as a cell phone, the warranty is just useless now and the coverage isn't as great.

Trump 3: She isn't typically bothered by the mental abilities of others. Granted she is unaware of their use on her.

Other: the pestering Murkrow is Luke and is not one of her Pokémon.

[Popshakes]

Almost done with Emma's character sheet. If anything, I'll have Emma done and ready for the RP when you officially start the thread. The only things I need to finish with her are a back story and the details of her powers.

Edit:
Emma's character sheet is finished. Working on Skylar and Jade now.

[Princess Crow]

Finishing up my character sheet, with my character tentatively named Ellen. Will edit into this post as soon as I finish.
