Pokemon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

Air makes sense for information, and I was thinking an intelligence-gatherer or hacker rather than a battler. And I was thinking about making his PorygonZ large enough to carry him... And also, you know, insane.

So, Keeper Max the woobie hacker coming right up.

Pokemon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

Hm. Which division would a techie fit in? Probably Land? I was thinking the Porygon line for his partner, probably PorygonZ, because I love the idea of a glitchy Pokemon. Tried to upgrade it with cutting-edge code he bought off of a shady former Silph employee, but something didn't go quite right... (the PokeDex even says it was invented to travel in alien dimensions, but it can't, because it's glitched to hell)

Pokemon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

:) It's all good, I'm patient. If you want, I can come up with a secondary PC as well, so that we aren't starved for human characters...

I had an idea for a young Ranger, because I liked your write-up about them so much.

EDIT: Especially because Noor is such a hermit, maybe a second, more outgoing human would be appropriate.

Pokemon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

Yeah, I saw the little write-up. Looks good to me, no need to develop it more on the concept level.

As for "power playing", would this be an acceptable list for a main Pokemon party?

Main Field Team
- "Hermes", Flygon (M, Hatched from Egg / First Pokemon)
- "Delphi", Gardevoir (F, Met in the wild, as Ralts)
- "Orpheus", Ludicolo (M, Met in the wild, as Lotad)
- "Cassandra", Absol (F, Last Pokemon met during her childhood in Hoenn)
- "Alexander", Ampharos (M, Met in the wild as Flaafy during her journeys through Johto)
- "Lethe", Quagsire (F, Met in the wild as Wooper during her journeys through Johto)

EDIT:
Most interaction would be between these Pokemon and her "research projects", such as Castform, Spinda, Shedinja and Mawile (also Dunsparce).

Mm, I was thinking of more of a military/Ranger brat, living in multiple different places in her childhood, always on the move. Maybe originally from Pacifidlog, though, I always liked that town.

Pokemon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

Cool, I'm glad. It'll be nice to get at least a little bit invested in the status quo before things go to shit.

As for landmarks, I like what you've got. Other places I can think of would be the Mossdeep Space Center and Pacifidlog as a sprawling, floating eco-utopia (since you seem to be going for something of a future-of-the-games vibe)...

EDIT: Also, you say that our teams basically unlimited. Would multiple fully-evolved Pokemon be a no-go? I'm thinking of her as an experienced trainer with a main "field team" of fully-evolved or single evolution Pokemon.

Pokemon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

- Unknown plots are lovely, I'm a big fan of mysteries and I play a lot of tabletop.

- Usually in Advanced I like to do lengthy collabs, and since you mentioned that being a possibility, then I'm all for it. I like dialogue and asking questions in posts, so... When not collabing I'll probably focus on interacting with my Pokemon and the environment.

- Frequency, at least once per week. If I can't do once a week I will let you know. I've got work and school responsibilities, so there
might be times when I'm writing a paper or something and can't get in the mindset of Pokemon, but again, I'll let you know. If I can set up a regular time to get together with you and other players to collab, that will do a lot to help me stay engaged.

- As for dedication, I will say that text RPs are tough for me to stay interested in if there isn't a driving plot. You seem to have a direction you want to go in, so all I can say is that I enjoy Pokemon! I'll give you a character to work with, and we'll go from there, eh? I will certainly notify you if I cannot continue to take part, or if my interest wanes.

I have a couple of questions of my own:

Trawling the first post of the OOC, is the mass PokeStation failure still part of the plot? And the villainous team mentioned there? Or are we starting fresh, with a different sort of thing from that original OOC?

Is it possible to be officially associated with the Prof. and his organization?

Pokemon: Hoenn - Make a Wish

Ah, I've been playing Omega Ruby, and I have a hankering for some Hoenn action. It's probably my favorite region, and I'm interested to see your interpretation...

Character forthcoming, probably a Pokemon researcher or some sort of futurist studying the possibilities of Mega Evolution. Hoenn is certainly the place to do it.

Tentatively:
- A native of Hoenn, raised on both the ancient stories and the many triumphs of modern technology
- A researcher of and friend to Pokemon; less interested in challenging Gyms, more into discovery and exploration
- Focuses on quirky Pokemon and useful field moves

I'll mock up a CS with some hard details and Pokemon descriptions in a PM, as you suggest.

Star Wars: Revanchism (Mandalorian Wars)

Welp, do you have an account on RPGGeek, or similar?

Star Wars: Revanchism (Mandalorian Wars)

Just so I have my timeline straight, aren't all the light-saber forms readily available to the Jedi order during this time, excepting possibly Juyo which was developed during this era (probably later on though).

I also need to sure up and change my backstory, as well as add a rank. I'm thinking Specialist or Corporal, but I'm not sure.

@HeySeuss I was wondering if you had a preference for a "medic" or a tech specialist. If I go tech specialist, I can reasonably tie in some skill as a pilot, as well as kind of fit into the three sentences I call a backstory.

@Arkay

As for the timeline, yes. By this time, the most prevalent lightsaber forms are Soresu (III), Ataru (IV), Shien/Djem So (V) and Niman (VI), all very well-developed. The development of Juyo (VII) had been completed, but it was relatively young. It was possible to learn it if one had advanced training in multiple other forms, but finding a Master who would be willing to teach it would be difficult.

Makashi (II) was by this time considered out of date, as it focused too heavily on lightsaber-to-lightsaber combat (weak against blasters), BUT there were still those who clung to it as a masterful art (for a later example, see Dooku). In this era, those who wished for a practical offensive form usable against both blasters and lightsabers would usually train in Shien/Djem So or perhaps Niman instead.

Shii-Cho (I) was usually delegated to training form status by this time, though there were always a rare few Shii-Cho masters who were considered incredible duelists for their unpredictability in combat.

(I know you asked HeySuess, but I thought I'd mention that my character is going to be primarily a healer, if that influences your decision to go for medic or techie)
