((Yes, certain areas from the Second game will be used in this Rp. :) And your character is approved.)) [hider=Velis]Name: Velis Appearance: [img=http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/315/6/b/pokemon_trainer_anna_by_viandi-dz8sob.jpg] Starter Pokemon: Quilava ((Level 26)) Croconaw ((Level 24)) Equipment: Six Ultra balls stolen from a Cipher peon who attempted to steal her Quilava from her. The Peon ended up both legs broken and a broken arm as a result of the ensuring fight although the snag machine he was using was destroyed in the fight so Velis was unable to steal it. Personality: Velis used to be a fun loving trainer before Cipher took over until her family attempted to defend their Pokemon from a Cipher peon with a snag machine. In the ensuing battle, all of her family's Pokemon were taken and her father and mother were killed while her younger sister was stolen away by Cipher and wasn't seen again. As a result of what happened, Velis became a cold and calculating Pokemon trainer who hid her emotions from everyone except her Pokemon. She now travels Orre as a wandering trainer. History: Velis's father and mother were both killed during the first year after Cipher's takeover and her sister was stolen away after an attack on their home. The only two Pokemon left at her family's home were badly wounded and Velis knew that Cipher would most likely return when they got the chance so she took the Quilava and Croconaw with her as she fled to Phenac city to heal them. After spending a few days in Phenac, she discovered that a few members of Cipher had entered the town and were looking for a trainer matching her description. She was forced to flee to the nearby outskirt stand and was able to hide from Cipher for a few days until she was able to find a new place to hide: The Under. She was able to hide out there for a few years since both Cipher and the Resistance are not welcome there. After hearing rumors of the latest Cipher attack she made a decision Take the fight to Cipher and make sure no one goes through what she was forced to go through.[/hider] [hider=Ross]Name: Ross Appearance: [img]http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs37/f/2008/262/5/d/Male_Protagonist__Dominic_by_BlueGhosty.jpg[/img] Starter Pokemon: Ryhorn ((level 20)) Donphan ((Level 26, captured Shadow Pokemon although it's heart is nearly open.)) Equipment: Stolen Snag Machine. twelve ultra balls stolen from a Cipher Peon that was stupid enough to pick a fight with him. Personality: Unlike most of the people of Orre, Ross hasn't lost any Pokemon to Cipher and is actually a native to Kanto who was in Orre when Cipher took over. As such, he learned the hard way what Cipher does to traveling trainers in this region. He is a careful trainer who examines situations before acting as to best deal with the situation. History: Ross is a traveling trainer who was stuck in Orre when Cipher took over and as a result he was attacked by a Cipher Peon one night. The Peon lost the battle due to the fact that he underestimated both Ross's battling skill and his determination. After the battle, the Peon attempted to take his Pokemon by force only to be soundly beaten and have his Snag Machine stolen along with his sole Shadow Pokemon. Ross didn't know much about Shadow Pokemon but he had heard rumors about them and as a result, battled with it and cared for it as if it was his own to try and open it's heart. As of now, his Ryhorn and the Shadow Donphan actually get along while double battling due to the fact that they have fought together for so long. Right now, Ross is trying to find a way to undo the final lock on his Shadow Pokemon.[/hider]
