Announcement: As both the interest check and full-size thread have been buried regularly by the speed at which the Casual sections update, I have decided to move Warriors of Sengun to the Advanced section of the forums. The new thread/s will be launched at a later date, to allow a similar role-play - which I co-GM - to take center stage on Pokémon-related threads. Thank you all for expressing interest, even if it wasn't entirely acted upon in many cases.

Warriors of Sengun
A Pokémon Role-Play
The island region of Sengun is home to many unusual things. From its Ten Kingdoms come mighty Warriors, individuals who fight alongside their Pokémon in battle. From ancient ruins scattered across the land come stories: the history of the region. And from all corners come Pokémon that are not seen in other regions: species exclusive to Sengun, from the cute and fuzzy Voltaer, to the towering Guardient, to the flameborn Igniyashi or the martial Froscadet. Whether you have travelled here from your homeland or you are a Sengun native, born and raised in one of the Ten Kingdoms, you are an aspiring Pokémon Trainer, here to take on the newest Pokémon League Challenge and rise to the rank of Champion. Our story begins in Regala: the capital Kingdom of Sengun, the heart of the land, home to both Professors Acer and Yang Ilex and the Pokémon League HQ. You have made your way to the Ilex Laboratories to begin your journey, taking the first steps on the road to glory...

Author's Notes: - Welcome to Warriors of Sengun. I am your GM; NeoAC, GM of The Road to Indigo, is co-GMing for me. - This is a Pokémon role-play, set in a new region, and featuring new species. I have designed 91 Pokémon native to the Sengun region from the ground up, all of which have everything a species needs, from physical descriptions to base stats and moves. - The Sengun region has eight new Gyms, a brand-new Elite Four, and a new batch of villains. All of which will be introduced at various points. - As stated above, all the characters will begin in the Kingdom of Regala (a map is provided below). - Warriors of Sengun will follow Generation VI mechanics and learnsets as of Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, supplemented by new moves and Abilities. A handful of "official" species - Pokémon that aren't Sengun-exclusive - also have small updates applied to them.
-------------—
The Sengun League: Sengun has recently launched a Pokémon League of its own, in the same style as many other regions, and has conducted an advertising campaign across almost every region to draw Trainers, whether beginner or veteran, to the new League. The campaign promises a substantial cash reward for anyone who defeats the eight Gym Leaders, then the Elite Four soon after that, and attains the rank of Champion. As is tradition in many Pokémon Leagues, Sengun plays host to eight Gyms and a set of Elite Four. The Gyms will be challenged in order according to the table below, while the Elite Four can be faced in any order after reaching the Pokémon League HQ. Gym Leaders:
Elite Four:
The new species exclusive to Sengun, including their learnsets and descriptions, can be found here. The Sengun Regional Pokédex, which contains every species found in the region, can be found here. More information on the Ten Kingdoms, including which Pokémon can be found in which territories, can be found here.
-------------—
I am looking to accept a reasonable number of characters, but previous experience has taught me that I should accept no more than eight characters, including those of myself and my co-GM. If you have any questions, feel free to post them here, or send them to me via private message.

The character I've written for Warriors of Sengun is as follows.

While I'm waiting for more applications to be posted, I'd like to take a moment to state that I'm more partial to reading a complete sheet as opposed to a work-in-progress one. I've seen people post half-finished characters and never get around to filling the blanks.

Commentary on the sheets so far:
-snip'd-
There are several points here that I find questionable. - A confident, charismatic... doubting, harsh-on-himself pessimist. This is rather contradictory to me. - I'm not seeing mention of Warriors in the bio, and yet your character's always wanted to be one. - Why does he have a PokéLink, a device exclusive to Sengun, when he's from Sinnoh? - Chimchar isn't available for collection at Ilex Laboratories. - - All Pokémon chosen as a starter begin at level 5, rather than 4.
-snip'd-
- Milotic isn't part of the Sengun Regional Pokédex, which leads me to question how it became the Huijara family crest. - - I assume the bracelet in your character's inventory is the item along the lines of my suggestion for a meaningful possession. In which case it should be part of the Appearance section rather than Inventory. From my notes: (Hint: In the Appearance section, give your character a personal item that holds significance.) - As a side note, I'm generally adverse to heterochromia in characters. It's not something that, in my experience, has added to characters in a meaningful way.

Thank you the feedback, I'll fix those!

Alright, would it be okay to change the Milotic to a Dratini instead? As for heterochromia, can be removed. Will replace his eye color with a simple hazel on the borderline of amber in color. As for the bracelet, it will be moved to the appearance section.

Apologies for the delay; I was just out the door to leave for work when you posted your question. Changing to Dratini is fine. =)

well i thought i'd post to say i'm working on a profile and it's taking a while because i scrapped a 95% complete profile after looking at what's already here and deciding nope we don't need another unsocial type with pokepowers or another mystriverite. leave it to me to manage to pick exactly the combination of traits that are already in use ò ~o9 in the mean time here's a glimpse of What Might Have Been so you know i really am working on stuff

Duly noted. However, I recommend you check the announcement at the top of the OP. Warriors of Sengun will be starting over in Advanced at some point in the foreseeable future, as Casual doesn't seem like the best environment for gathering interest and applications without regular bump posts. So everyone has a bit more time to work on their characters.
