[WAR Season II RP] Arcane Pokéworld [SU/DT]

[bronislav84]

No need to mention me, except for finished forms or form edits. I check the thread. :)

As long as the thing blows up and becomes useless, feel free to use it as an escape plan once. But please don't just try to get another one made. I'm trusting you with this.

Arcstar isn't polluting the world. It's become normal and the world as everyone knows operates on it. You know how our own RL sun will destroy the world if our race doesn't somehow escape? Well the way we set this up is the world can't 'exist' without a functioning Arcstar, so the hope is that by the time it goes nova again on it's normal cycle people will be able to use the magic to stabilize it by that time like the Xeth did. Assuming this is done continuously as needed and people come back to be irradiated every once in a while, it's self sustaining. So yea, the radiation is good, similar to our sunlight for plants and solar panels. You are free to have some science and the rules of physics do exist unless a spell alters them (Like flight spells for example), but overall it's unnecessary as the magic and magical items serve the purpose.

It's okay to assume the Xeth had at least a semi-natural version of this type of sun, or they just have magic because they do for plot purposes, but yea it's a pretty unique star.

Eh, like I said, I don't intend to do anything with that portal. It just makes it easier to get items for a cost LOL. And possible conflicts. She's not exactly outgoing XD

By "pollution", I meant the fact that it's effectively made it so everything has magic XD Whether you want it to or not :P Which is her dilemma, trying to get the magic out of the electricity. Just because it might be deemed unnecessary doesn't mean you won't have the science nuts out there trying XD

In any case, it seems we're on the same wavelength now. Dis gunna be good.

[bronislav84]

That's all completely fine. Have fun. I wish I could.

Name: Laura Ignavi

Gender: Female

Species:Neko

Age: 20

Team: Prism League

Description: Laura stands at roughly five foot seven. The fur covering her body is a darker charcoal color on her head, back, arms, legs, and tail. Her ears, face, stomach, and the backs of her hands and feet are a lighter shade of grey, nearby. Her eyes are green with lighter gold flecks. She keeps her hair just long enough to reach where her ears would be, if she were a human and not a neko.
One of her ears is pierced, and has an earring with a Keystone on it.
Laura usually wears dark clothing, which on occasion seems to blend into her fur. She has a charcoal colored t-shirt, and baggy sweatpants, usually rolled up. Instead of average shoes, Laura typically wears sandals.

Personality: Laura isn't very knowledgeable, but she is clever. She only knows a few spells that are heavily based on Dark type and Fighting type moves, but she tries to practice them with her Pokemon a few times a week so she gets better with them, and does not forget the knowledge.
Laura doesn't care much for strangers, and if someone she doesn't know very well acts over-friendly to her, she'll tend to avoid that person in the future. The longer she knows someone, the more she trusts them. Oddly enough, the longer she knows someone she considers an enemy, the more likely she'll stay near them and at least temporarily trust them if she's in a situation with people she doesn't know, or an incredibly dangerous area.

Background: Laura's parents were both employees of Silph Co. when they met. Her mother researched spells to create new, more advanced items for trainers to use. Her father had an unusually large amount of Flying and Water type Pokemon for a neko, and used them to transport goods from the factories to different Pokemarts across the region. Despite working in the same company for quite some time, their meeting was entirely by chance.
Once they had Laura, they found that they had no time for a child, with Laura's mother's job requiring long hours of plotting out schematics and new ways to combine technology and spells, while her father's job involved constant traveling.
In Laura's earlier years, she lived with a family friend in Lacunosa Town. That friend assigned one of her Pokemon, a Swanna named Maris, to look after Laura and make sure she didn't wander about outside after dark.
Laura and Maris got along relatively well. Their only disagreements were about how when Laura tried to stay out late at night and watch the stars, instead of letting her stay out Maris would grab Laura and fly her back to her house.
Once Laura reached thirteen years old, she recieved two things. A Keystone, and a letter requesting that Laura return to Saffron City, where her parents lived. Laura was reluctant at first, but after much urging from her guardian she and Maris took a portal to Saffron City.
Laura's life with her parents was awkward, and uncommunicative. When Laura reached 14 her parents hadn't made much headway in befriending their daughter, and Laura was still shy around them. It was then that Laura requested permission to go on a training journey over the summer. Her parents reluctantly agreed, and gifted her an Absol as a starter Pokemon.
Laura journeyed with the Absol, who she named Lucky, and Maris. She captured the rest of her party on her journey, before finally returning home. Her parents revealed that they were going to send Laura back to Unova, which Laura was overjoyed to hear. She returned, this time to Virbank City, and continued going to high school. Once she graduated, she started going to a local acting college, hoping to someday act in the films created in Pokestar Studios.

Pokémon:
Lucky-- Male Absol, Laura's official starter Pokemon. Spars with Laura to help her learn and use more effectively certain Dark type moves.
Auma-- Male Umbreon, holds Leftovers. Specializes in status moves.
Eric-- Male Scizor. Specializes in physical moves and priority attacks.
Mockingbird-- Female Roserade. Holds Black Sludge. Specializes in ranged attacks.
Kai-- Female Lopunny. Holds Lopunnite. Specializes in physical attacks, specifically punch based ones.
Raze-- Seadra. Holds Razor Claw. Specializes in ranged attacks.
Maris-- Female Swanna. First Pokemon Laura met. Has a motherly nature. Specializes in support tactics, but rarely uses moves. Holds Sitrus Berry.

Other: Laura isn't very experienced in physical combat, if physical combat means 'anything other than repeatedly using Knock Off, Sucker Punch, and Foul Play.' Because of this, ever since the Night of Bloodfall she's taken to keeping at least one, if not more of her party outside of their Carrying Crystals whenever possible. She usually keeps at least Maris out, since the Swanna can get rather overprotective and fussy sometimes.

My apologies for the lateness, I am Morzone of the prism league.

Name: Shawn Mazox
Gender: male
Species: angel
Age: 27
Team: The Prism League

Description: Shawn in 5'7" with dirty blonde hair, blue eyes. and not much muscle. He is skinny, and is usually wearing his preferred clothing: a sky blue jacket with a white T-shirt showing the IRDA(Inter-Regional Doctor's Association) symbol. The symbol resembles the caduceus of RL medical symbols, only instead on a winged staff the snakes are wrapped around a thin, vertical PPC. He wears running pants and keeps his back pack of medical supplies with him at all times. His wings are average sized and are generally kept folded unless he plans to fly with them.

Personality: Shawn is a person who puts his friends and pokemon before himself as much as possible. He is very protective of the things he treasures, whether it be a person, pokemon, or object. However, Shawn has trouble expressing his true feelings, especially to people he doesn't know, and will often say nothing despite having a good opinion. His pro-life views also give him an odd sense of humor, often finding something funny that others will not. Shawn is against fighting in any way, partly because he hates to see people be hurt, and because he is, deep down, afraid to get hurt himself. All in all, Shawn can be seen as an introvert with a mind of an extravert, he longs for friends, spotlight, trust, and action, but has trouble understanding and obtaining them.

Background:So Shawn was born in Lilycove City, Hoen. This is also where he spent his first childhood years, however both his parents were suffering from a dangerous illness, and they were forced to move to Celestic Town, Sinnoh. Unfortunately, Shawn's parents were not strong enough for the trip and died upon arrival. Shawn was taken in by the town doctor, a very old and wise man known as Shanze. Shanze was merfolk who lived in celestic town, he was famous in the nearby towns as a very skilled healer, but also was getting rather old and senile. Shanze took Shawn in and raised him, teaching Shawn everything he knew about medicine and healing magic. Shawn too, by the time he was 18, had become famous for his medical abilities due to what he learned from teaching, and his own personal vow never to let what happened to his parents happen to any one else.

Shanze however, had reached the end of his days when Shawn turned 19, and peacefully in his sleep. Shawn went to traveling around the different regions learning the most advanced healing and protection magic he could find. Many people, especially in Kanto and Johto, tried to convince him to learn to fight, but Shawn would always refuse saying: "I am a healer, not a destroyer."
While on his travels, Shawn was recruited to the IRDA, quickly becoming well renowned within its system.

Shawn eventually stationed himself back in his home region, in Celestic town, Sinnoh. He lived there for about a year, peacefully healing Pokemon and people alike, then came the night of blood fall.....

As for his connection to the prism league, He joined during the years of apprenticeship under Shanze. One of Shanze's mottos was: 'The most important thing a person can own is his identity.' Shawn followed this motto and joined the team he most identified with, which was the prism league. The prism league also supported him in his years of travel and when he became part of IRDA. Every now and then the prism league would ask for his medical advice, but as times were peaceful he wasn't bothered too much.

Pokemon:
Ruby (female luxray, his fighting Pokemon, a very powerful fighter in both ranged and physical attacks, holds a comet shard on a necklace)
Seth (male absol, weak compared to most absols, his scouting Pokemon, holds a quick claw on a necklace)
Crystal (female Audino, his healing Pokemon, hold a heal bell)

Other: Shawn does not fight, but when his enemy continues to attack, Ruby will act as his return attacks. Most of the time however, Shawn will use his shield magic to stop the first attack, then put his hands over his head to show he does not wish to fight. He will often refer to his healing/shield magic as his "hue." Shawn will generally keep all 3 of his Pokemon out of the crystals unless he is portal traveling. Oh, and he loves music, a lot.

Of course not. Keep an eye on this post for your mentions, or next one if more sign up.

Laura Ignavi [Prism League] @LKWayvern

I see no major problems here. You have the requirements and everything seems to be in order. It's a little short, but fine. You do not mention how she is tied to her team, but that's minor and can be worked out during the RP. You are APPROVED.

Shawn Mazox [Prism League] @Morzone

You're almost there. I would just like to see more personality in an actual paragraph, and if possible his connection to his team. As I have said to other people, this can be worked out during the RP though. You are PENDING.

[Morzone]

I apologize for the lack of personality information and information on his connection to the prism league, here's an updated version:

Personality: Shawn is a person who puts his friends and pokemon before himself as much as possible. He is very protective of the things he treasures, whether it be a person, pokemon, or object. However, Shawn has trouble expressing his true feelings, especially to people he doesn't know, and will often say nothing despite having a good opinion. His pro-life views also give him an odd sense of humor, often finding something funny that others will not.

Hopefully this will fulfill what you were looking for.

Shawn Mazox [Prism League] @Morzone

Please edit this into the original post where necessary. I assume you're going to do this, so you are APPROVED.

[bronislav84]

Points! Fair and unbiased. I'll post this in the official thread once one goes up, or someone can transfer it in my absence.

First and second place are honestly interchangeable. Really no surprise PB is getting these.

First: Grassy with creative use of technology in a magic setting. It exists but isn't really all that developed or widespread, but Grassy manages to have it program Porygons without sucking. A little boring, but I liked the detail and sarcasm on it.

Second: Neo for the first problems of the RP. I'm a sucker for action and explosions. That's really all I have to say about this.

Third: Morzone. Another one with action, and there's some suspense in there.

Honorable mentions: Definitely Sabi for somehow making a travel post not seem all THAT boring. You can probably get a couple of points next week once you get there. Post more often. :) LK I wish you were a little longer and double spaced, but overall it was an interesting post.

Eri had good length but the script really turns me off.

[LKWayvern]

I'm surprised but happy I got an honorable mention. I really wasn't expecting to get mentioned at all. Most of the RPs I go into have really short posts, and usually if you go offline for an hour or so you suddenly have 20 pages to catch up on. One of the main reasons I'm trying out in this particular thread is I'm trying to work on getting out longer RP posts.
Okay, I'm going to try to aim for even longer next week. >:3
