Greetings and salutations, fellow RPers! This here is, as you can probably tell from the title, Islands of Origin, a project that's been very near and dear to my heart for a long time. I've put lots of time and effort into this little piece of work, and I'm excited to see what can come out of it! However, this isn't just my story. Islands of Origin is a tale meant to be brought together by many people, all with their own unique writing styles, characters, and ideas! I really hope that I'll be able to scrape together a group of people who feel just as passionately about this project as I do. So, without further ado, here's Islands of Origin! I hope you enjoy the ride!

200 years ago, in the land of Pelagos, a land where only Pokemon dwell, an inquisitive Alakazam who called himself Odin decided he wanted to expand his already extensive knowledge. He learned of time and space and how they keep the world running, he learned of nature and living beings. But yet he was still unsatisfied. He himself didn't even know why. He was the most knowledgeable Pokemon in all of Pelagos' six islands. His wisdom was a sacred thing to the citizens of Pelagos, and he knew full well that he should be content with all he had learned. And then, one day, it dawned on him.

He knew nothing of how the world itself came into being. Or the universe, for that matter. What was the point of knowing so much about Pokemon if he had know idea how they came to exist? Why should he care about time or space or the universe if he had not a clue where they all began? And who was the mastermind behind it all?

Who was God?

Nearly every Pokemon of Pelagos was engrossed in their legends and lore. They were especially entranced by the ones that spoke of the mighty being Mew, who breathed life into Pokemon, who defeated demons with Their holy magic, who commanded legendary beasts that shaped the earth into mountains and brought forth an almost infinite sea. But Odin was skeptical about these revered legends. He wanted a way to know for sure. What if Mew was just a fairy tale, dreamed up by some fool? He decided to investigate.

The Pokemon who originally looked up to his scholarly pursuit of knowledge thought he was going mad. How could he deny the existence of Mew, an existence that they'd taken for granted for years upon years? Many of them decided not to trust his findings anymore, and figured that he was just a madman who'd lost himself forever. But, as soon as he discovered proof, the tides would be turned forever.

For a very long time, the Pokemon living on the forest-covered island of Feulis suspected that there was some sort of secret hidden within the ancient ruins that rested on its beaches. When he visited the quaint isle for himself, it was Odin who was finally able to discover something incredible. Buried deep beneath Feulis’s beach was a secret passageway that was just begging to be explored. As Odin traveled through the tunnel, he found sacred writings carved into the walls. They spoke of a Pokemon named Arceus, who created the universe and brought Mew itself into the world. Drawings of the Pokemon were spread across the walls, and not a single stone was left untouched by etchings honoring the deity. Odin just knew it had to be true. Just as he had suspected, the tales of Mew were frauds. Just as he had suspected, they were merely lies meant to trick gullible Pokemon into believing in a fake God. But, they wouldn't trick Odin. And if he had anything to do with it, they would no longer trick anyone else, either.

Odin spread his discovery to all the islands of Pelagos, and he got just the reaction he was hoping for. As Pokemon looked high and low, finding hidden clues of their own that proved the mighty Arceus' existence, their trust in Odin began to blossom all the more. Odin had changed the world, and he knew Pokemon were happy to have finally found the truth. But then, one day, he realized it wouldn't be that easy.

A massive group of Pokemon began to rebel, supporters of Mew who wouldn't let Odin get away with taking away Pelagos’ trust in their one true God. They attacked Odin's supporters, and immediately a gruesome battle broke out. Pokemon hurt each other left and right, not showing a single sign of mercy. A few Pokemon were even killed in the brutal conflict. Finally, the Mew supporters rose in victory, having been given the massive advantage of surprise.

Odin had never been so angry in his life. The Mew supporters were growing and growing, and he had no way to stop it. They were simply too strong. He had only one way: to outsmart them. But fortunately, being an Alakazam, that was his specialty.

He formed his Arceus supporters into his own personal army, deploying them on two of the six islands. And they decided to go after the Mew supporters. With their organized methods of fighting and pre-planned strategies, they won this battle easily. So, the Mew supporters did the same.

The conflict soon raged across Pelagos, and four of the six islands were fully involved in the battles. The wars, soon known as the Crusades, went on for many years, and eventually, Odin fell in battle. But the Arceus army went on strong, not wanting to let the loss of their original leader stop them. However, there were two islands who refused to immerse themselves in combat. The Pokemon living on the peaceful island of Feulis, a dense forest-covered island, and the Pokemon of Lithulia, an island filled with beautiful waterfalls and canals. Both islands believed that there is no true single 'God,' and that many god-like creatures worked together to create the world of Pelagos themselves. Their refusal to conform to one viewpoint enraged both sides, and they soon began to attack the islands, trying to force them to one side. However, neither island would budge. It was a struggle of willpower, and Feulis and Lithulia wouldn't back down. But after many years of brutal war, a tragedy occurred on the island of Lithulia.

A strange portal appeared out of nowhere, and pulled several Pokemon in.

The Pokemon of Lithulia were deathly afraid of being taken away themselves, and became more cautious. As portal sightings grew and grew, and more Pokemon were being devoured by the rips in space, they locked themselves in their homes, refusing to leave. Some heard voices in their dreams. Screams of agony, or sometimes a single cruel being telling them to give up. To give up, and stop trying to save themselves. It was a terrifying omen, and the Pokemon of Lithulia had never been so scared. Meanwhile, the other islands fighting for their gods scoffed at the pathetic Lithulia. They figured the portals were a sign. A sign from Arceus and Mew, sealing their fate to die if they refuse to pick a side. But even they didn't expect what happened next.

Lithulia, after suffering from the portals for many months, was swallowed whole.

It happened slowly. First, the southern half began to break apart. Pokemon's homes, their land, their sea... all of it became devoured by the portals. Pokemon from the northern part of the island attempted to escape, readying ships to take them away, but few succeeded. Only a very small handful of Pokemon escaped from the massacre, and they were not left without damage. Some became mentally traumatized, others lost limbs, some even lost portions of their memories. But none of the survivors will speak of what happened on that terrible day. It remains a deep secret.

Now, the Crusades are still raging on, and show no signs of stopping soon. Portals have been sighted on Feulis as well, and the Pokemon of the other islands have no doubts in their mind that they will suffer the same fate as Lithulia. But the Pokemon of Feulis are determined to live on, and maybe even finally bring an end to the wrath of the Crusades.

You are a Pokemon who lives on Feulis, and is thus neutral to the combat of Mew vs. Arceus. Because Pokemon from Feulis are not Soldiers, the majority of them are fairly peaceful, with little to no battle experience. However, some Pokemon are trained as guards, in the event that another island attacks. After the destruction of Lithulia, the survivors of the crisis came to live in Feulis, as they had nowhere else to go. Because the incident was so recent, not all of the new residents of Feulis have gotten used to the drastic changes in their lives. And, similarly, not all of the Pokemon who have lived in Feulis have gotten used to their new neighbors. If you decide to play as a Feulis-Dweller, keep both this and the miniscule amount of Pokemon who escaped from Lithulia alive in mind.

Soldiers are split into two groups, Mew Soldiers and Arceus Soldiers, who are each stationed on different islands. Nitraga and Runark are Mew-aligned islands, while Destirae and Quartzir are Arceus-aligned islands (see the island section for more information). Soldiers are normally wholeheartedly devoted to the cause of supporting either Mew or Arceus. However, some join the military for a different reason, whether that’s to get money, or just because being a soldier is a societal expectation.

Rogues are Pokemon who live on Runark, Nitraga, Destirae, or Quartzir that are not Soldiers. This does not include younger Pokemon who are not yet old enough to be Soldiers, or Pokemon who were formerly Soldiers but can no longer continue with their duties due to age or injury. In a society where becoming a Soldier is the norm, being a Rogue is seen as highly unusual. It’s very common for Rogues to be viewed as cowardly, weak, or dishonorable by others. Because of these judgments, Rogues commonly live away from cities and villages, sometimes even forming their own communities. While both Soldiers and Feulis-Dwellers can be cultists as well, the majority of cultists are Rogues who believe in another almighty God rather than Arceus or Mew. If you choose to be a Rogue, keep in mind that in a world where religious influences are everywhere, you must have a very strong reason to abstain from becoming a soldier.

Alignment: Neutral

Most common Pokemon types: Grass, Bug, Flying, Normal, Fairy, Water

A small, quaint tropical island filled with dense forests and ancient ruins begging to be explored. There aren’t many Pokemon living on the island itself, and most of its population lives in a small village within the heart of the forest. These Pokemon are religious like many of the others, but they have a very different belief - there is no single God, only a multitude of gods that each provided a different piece of the world we live in now. The villagers themselves worship Celebi, as the time-travelling legend is thought to be the single Pokemon holding the balance of their forests in place. They occasionally hold ceremonies in Celebi’s honor, usually in front of the island’s pride and joy, a majestic waterfall. The island is not nearly as peaceful as it once was, however, as Pokemon have been suddenly disappearing, assumingly because of the very same dimensional rifts that swallowed Lithulia whole. Because the majority of the villagers are generally peaceful and rarely fight, Feulis has no military. However, a select few villagers are prepared to protect the village from any threats, namely other armies. The leader of said group is Bullet the Sceptile, the loyal right-hand to the wise village leader, Glenn the Venusaur. The other islands tend to look down on the villagers of Feulis, as they did for the Pokemon of Lithulia, as the members of Feulis have yet to pick a side in the battle between Arceus and Mew. They think that the dimensional rifts throwing the island into chaos are a sign from Mew or Arceus - a sign that the island will fall if they remain neutral about the conflict. But the villagers of Feulis are unwavering in heart, wanting to stand strong alongside their beliefs even if it is their downfall.

Notable Locations

Alnamos Village

A humble village just close enough to the northern shore to be blessed by the refreshing feeling of the cooling mist being carried by the salty sea breeze, this old yet charming town square is the center of action in Feulis (Not that it really means much, seeing as Feulis doesn’t see much action anyways.). The rickety old huts surrounding the main square are still barely standing somehow, despite the fact that they were built from withered wood that’s only aged over time. In the center of the square, surrounded by worn cobblestones, stands the small yet tenacious town bell, just loud enough to reach the ears of a Pokemon off adventuring in the forest. The bell has done perhaps some of the greatest duties for the humble town and its citizens, as it alerts them to town meetings, group prayers, and dire emergencies. It used to be that the emergency bell was only rung if a few out-of-line rogues snuck in from the old gravel path leading into the forest, or the weather was getting out of hand. But, lately, any Feulis citizen will gravely tell you, the emergency bell has been rung far too often lately, and for all the wrong reasons. But even though Feulis has been in a bit of a bind in recent years, the citizens of Alnamos Village try to stay serene and unflinching. Even if only a handful of the villagers know how to fight, they can stand up to danger all the same.

Wakeshine Beach
A gorgeous beach with soft, silky sand, thousands of seashells sprinkled across the earth, and the gentle touch of the sun’s warm rays, Wakeshine Beach is the perfect place to unwind, whether it’s by soaking up the rays of the sun, or enjoying a nice wade through its crystal-clear waters. Or, if you’re more of an adventuring type, the seaside ruins off to the side are the perfect place for you. Just don’t forget to bring a light of some sort - or else you’ll miss out on the ornate paintings of the legendary Arceus spread from wall to wall. Or, even better, if you're lucky enough to be one of the rare few to have been taught to read ancient runes, you may be able to decipher just a few of the legends that started it all. The tales speaking of how the mighty Arceus created the universe with a toss of its head, bringing forth powerful deities to create life and land. Dialga, who spun time, and Palkia, who wrote the laws of space. Groudon and Kyogre, creators of the earth and sea, and Rayquaza, the one who kept their differences from starting brutal battles. Every mighty creature that came forth from Arceus's power was bursting with strength far beyond anything imaginable, and yet, they all bowed to Arceus's call as the one true God. Though most Pokemon are unable to read such tales, it is truly a powerful feeling to see where the godly legends began, all while hearing the roaring of the waves in the background.

Greenleaf Falls

Take a few steps onto the cobblestone path leading out of Alnamos Village, and surely you’ll hear the incredible pounding of Feulis’s prized landmark. You may even be able to notice the thin layer of mist settling around the treetops as you continue, and the waterfall’s deafening rhythm only gets louder with every step you take. Only after you continue down the beaten forest path, with the roar of the waterfall growing louder and louder as you go on, will you be able to truly experience Feulis’s greatest treasure. Greenleaf Falls is a mighty waterfall that stretches far past the treetops, surrounded by an eerie coat of mist, and it’s called the must-see attraction of Feulis. Greenleaf Falls is incredibly important to the villagers of Feulis - not only is it a truly beautiful sight, it is also where they hold their vitally important ceremonies honoring Celebi, the forest deity. The massive oak tree dominating the land at the base of the waterfall is said to be where the gentle God was born, springing forth from the branches and leaves and swearing a sacred oath to protect their new home with their life. At every change of the season, the Pokemon of Feulis gather together to pray in harmony in a festive celebration of their loving God's blessings. Sacrifices are made, songs are sung, and holy prayers are shouted to the heavens - all in honor of the life Celebi has brought to the humble village.

Greenleaf Forest

Feulis's mighty forest is so massive that it can make even the biggest and strongest of Pokemon feel like pebbles in comparison. Thousands of trees stand tall above the island, bursting with life and protecting the residents of the city with its beautiful yet durable canopy. The forest is regarded by the villagers as sacred ground, as it is where the gentle God Celebi was born, and the very place that provides the villagers with what they need to survive. It is thought that Celebi created the forest with a wave of its hand to bring life to the dying island, and it is because of the generous God’s kindly contributions that the villagers of Feulis are eternally grateful to their beautiful, flourishing forests.

Forest Shrine
A worn-down shrine within the heart of the forest, the aptly named Forest Shrine is thousands of years old - and it shows. The careful details carved into the wood are beginning to fade with age, and it isn’t standing quite as tall as it used to be. However, it is still a beloved gem of Feulis, and it always will be until the day when it finally comes crashing down. But, until that day arrives, it will continue to be used for a rather important purpose - the Forest Shrine is where Pokemon can alone venture to pray to the legendary forest God Celebi. It is said.to be the very place where Celebi was born, and where they decided to protect the villagers and forests of Feulis with their life. Scattered about the base of the shrine lay food offerings, small gifts, and other presents from the grateful villagers to the generous God.

Alignment: Mew

Most Common Pokemon Types: All except Water

From above, Runark looks like a barren, desolate wasteland, with absolutely no life. But, that’s because you’re missing what’s below. All of Runark’s Pokemon live underground, in a maze of passages that are nearly impossible to navigate if you aren’t a native of the area. The Pokemon themselves are constantly living on the brink of starvation, since food underground is scarce. Because of this, Pokemon bond together to form unlikely tight groups of communities, sharing food and water. The Pokemon of Runark are extremely loyal to each other because of these communities, and it isn’t unusual for one to sacrifice its food, shelter, or even their life for another. The Pokemon of Runark are strong believers in Mew, who they believe created Pokemon and gave them intelligence so they could face hardships together. This belief is what binds the Runark army, which is the smallest army of them all. Don’t let this underestimate you, however. Pokemon from Runark have extremely high stamina, as they would need to have to live such a dangerous lifestyle. Because of this, they can keep fighting for as long as they need to, and will always leap into battle fighting hard. And if you challenge them in their homeland? You won’t stand a chance. Only the Runark Pokemon know the layout of the passages, and you could get lost down there forever. Their tight community can form unusual strategies that would seem foolish to other armies, but end up winning Runark the battle. But, Pokemon from Runark lack the strength that other Pokemon do, mainly because they don’t get enough food as nourishment. Runark Pokemon need to rely on each other to win because of this, but fortunately for them, that’s what they’re best at.



Central Square

The creatively named “Central Square” is, well, the center of all of Runark’s activities. Taking a stroll through this high-energy plaza is a rather refreshing experience compared to wandering through the rest of Runark’s dark, dreary tunnels. Central Square is where many Pokemon come together to share resources with each other, from food to water to all sorts of other goods. Even in the dead of night, you can count on there being at least a few Pokemon out and about, making merry conversation. Everywhere you look in Central Square, you’re guaranteed to see Pokemon doing good deeds and splitting materials among themselves. The sheer amount of life and color that’s always present in the Central Square is a perfect demonstration of just how close the Pokemon of Runark are.

Council Chamber

Every community needs to be aware of the current happenings, and Runark is no exception. The Council Chamber, a meticulously built auditorium characterized by the beautiful stained glass image of Mew on its ceiling, is where Runark's assemblies take place. Every so often, the Council Chamber will be packed with Pokemon as they exchange information and news at one of Runark's community meetings. This is also where Rufus, Griff, and all of the other high-ranking members of Runark's military go to formulate battle strategies. However, the Council Chamber isn’t just for meetings. The Council Chamber is where you’ll find the Tallstones, a trio of monoliths that Runarkians use as their place of prayer and worship. Etched into the Tallstones are a set of ancient scriptures that seem to be absolutely indiscernible. Pokemon after Pokemon has puzzled over the meaning of the archaic language depicted on the stones, but none have yet cracked the code. As the Pokemon of Runark believe Mew is responsible for blessing them with the intelligence they need to band together and survive, they still continue to hope that, one day, Mew will grant them the knowledge they need to discover what exactly the Tallstones are trying to express.

Bygone Burrow
Among the maze-like structure of the main Runarkian tunnels, there is a series of smaller, far more secretive passages that few know about. It’s within these hidden tunnels that the Runarkian Rogues choose to live. The Rogues of Runark are a very quiet sort, rarely daring to venture outside of the passageways they call home. Their subdued actions and manner make them a very mysterious group - even among themselves. An average onlooker would probably question why the Bygone Burrow needs to exist in the first place. Runark is such a safe and supportive community! Why would there be any Rogues at all? And yet, the Runarkian Rogues exist, and they seem to be so afraid to venture out of their home that they’ve nearly cut off their ties with society entirely. What’s happened to them to make them so paranoid and cautious, so secretive and secluded? Every Rogue of Runark seems to have their own reason, and every Rogue of Runark seems to be tight-lipped about it...

Nitraga

Alignment: Mew

Most Common Pokemon Types: [North] Ice, Normal, Ghost, Psychic, Fairy [South] Fire, Rock, Ground, Steel, Fighting

Known as the “island split in two,” Nitraga has earned this nickname for good reason. The southern and northern halves of the island are very different. Where the northern half is freezing cold, the southern half is almost unbearably hot and humid. Where the northern half has countless forests, the southern half is filled with massive desserts. Where the northern half takes pride in its secluded ice caves, the southern half can boast about its massive volcano, which is active, thank you very much. Nitraga’s climates aren’t the only strange thing, though. Its army, which battles for Mew, is also very different. The two halves train separately, until it is time for them to unite. With each half fighting very differently, they can cover each other's weaknesses with ease. But, this is a bit of a double-edged sword for them. While this can obliterate the other side in some situations, this can make it difficult for the halves to work together and strategize. So, Nitraga can be either a massive force in battle, or the laughingstock of the islands - never in between.

Notable Locations

Northern Nitraga

Frigid Forest

After making the trek from Southern Nitraga to Northern Nitraga, this dense pine forest is probably the first thing you’ll see. Frigid Forest, as its name would suggest, doesn’t exactly provide the warmest welcome to newcomers. Because of the icy winds that blow through it, it’s common for travellers to abandon their journeys after taking only a few steps into this bleak woodland. Frigid Forest becomes an even more frightful place when its maze-like structure is taken into account. Unprepared Pokemon could potentially be forced to wander through Frigid Forest’s winding paths for days, until they manage to either find their way or freeze to death. Only the most tenacious Pokemon can even set foot into Frigid Forest, let alone live in it. In fact, it’s these harsh conditions that make the Northern Nitragan military such a difficult group of foes to take on. The frosty arctic gales and labyrinth of passages of Frigid Forest have trained the Pokemon of Nitraga to persist even through the most difficult of challenges.

Isolude Village

At the heart of the Frigid Forest rests Isolude Village, a small yet vitally important settlement of Pokemon. Considering the brutal environment in which it resides, the Pokemon of Isolude Village are some of the most powerful you’ll ever meet, even going as far as to enjoy its bitter conditions. Because the majority of Isolude Village residents are either high-ranking military members or Soldiers who hope to reach that level, the Pokemon of Isolude Village are a quiet group. Many of them prefer to keep to themselves and focus on honing their skills rather than conversing with others. The lonely silence and bleak surroundings of Isolude Village make it a rather depressing place to live, which is why only a small number of Pokemon have made their homes there. However, the few Pokemon that live there are all staunch, steadfast, and skilled. The Nitragan military would be truly lost without them.

Crystal Circle

Once you’ve braved the trials of Frigid Forest, congratulations! You’re finally out of the woods - literally! Continuing your trek up north, the weather is still rather nippy, but definitely manageable when compared to the chilled air of Frigid Forest. Pokemon who manage to make it this far past the border between Northern and Southern Nitraga are rewarded generously for their efforts - rewarded with the sight of the Crystal Circle. This incredible landmark alone makes the trek through Frigid Forest completely worth it. The Crystal Circle, a completely natural sculpture of ice, is utterly breathtaking to behold. It stretches far across the Nitragan landscape and high into the sky, looking almost like a flower in bloom. Ornate symbols have been carved into its “petals,” designs that are so intricate and precise that it seems like they couldn’t have possibly been created by nature alone. Even more magnificent is the view of the Crystal Circle when the sun peeks out from between the clouds. When the sun’s rays reflect off of the elaborate structure’s ice, the Crystal Circle shimmers with brilliant iridescent colors - it’s really a sight to behold. It’s no wonder that the Pokemon of Northern Nitraga chose Crystal Circle to be their place of worship and prayer, considering just how awe-inspiring the Crystal Circle is.

Ice Flow Beach

Upon travelling way up north, far past the forests, fields, and freezing landscapes, you’ll encounter yet another one of the most unique landmarks Pelagos has to offer. The land bordering Northern Nitraga and the vast, open sea is encased in a layer of thick glacial ice. This makes it the perfect habitat for Water-type Pokemon who are able to brave the cold weather. But, if you decide to spend some time on Ice Flow Beach, be careful - if the fragment of ice you’re standing on breaks off from the rest, you’ll have a rough time getting back to dry land! While some Pokemon enjoy Ice Flow Beach for the abundance of prey in its waters, there are others who spend their days exploring its secluded ice caves. The frozen caverns of Ice Flow Beach are highly popular places for Rogues to call home - they’re quiet, hidden, and are far from any sort of officially established settlement of Pokemon.



Piery Town

A busy place filled with loud and rambunctious residents, Piery Town is the largest settlement of Pokemon in all of Nitraga. It’s easy to see why - Piery Town is where all the majority of Southern Nitraga’s military activities take place. Not only that, it rests at the foot of Mt. Malice, a major landmark for any seasoned explorer, and it’s rather close to the Steaming Springs, a favorite location for Nitragan residents who need to take some time to relax. Unlike the quiet citizens of Isolude Village, the Pokemon who live in Piery Town are loud, boisterous, and completely unapologetic about it. Even Fianna, Southern Nitraga’s own military commander, is sure to set aside time specifically for throwing parties and having a good time. However, don’t let this exuberant, easygoing attitude fool you. The residents of Piery Town really are dedicated to their work, using their passionate spirits to dissipate any fear that could potentially hold them back on the battlefield.

Mt. Malice

As its name implies, Mt. Malice isn’t meant for the faint of heart. Its treacherous cliffs stretch far past the clouds, the air around it is wrought with soot and ash, and, most of all, the “Mt.” in its name is rather misleading. Mt. Malice isn’t a mountain at all. In reality, it’s an active volcano! Because only the most determined of Pokemon would dare to try and conquer the mighty Mt. Malice, the rocky ridges near the top are a favorite spot for Rogues who don’t mind a little danger.

Steaming Springs

After a long day of training, there’s no better way to wind down and ease your aching muscles than taking a dip in the Steaming Springs. Because these warm, soothing hot springs are so close to Piery Town, exhausted Soldiers in need of some relaxation are a very common sight there.

Daybreak Desert

If you wander past the foot of Mt. Malice, you’ll eventually stumble upon the scorching sands and blistering heat of the Daybreak Desert. Most Pokemon couldn’t withstand even a few minutes in this sizzling wasteland, but the Pokemon of Southern Nitraga have no problem. They’ve had plenty of experience dealing with intense heat and arid weather. After all, it’s a necessity for them to be able to press on through the searing humidity - the Pokemon of Southern Nitraga go to Daybreak Desert rather frequently in order to pray and leave offerings at the Daybreak Temple. However, if you find that you’re unable to deal with the passionate sunlight and dry air, there is a solution. Deep within the Daybreak Desert is a beautiful tropical oasis that’s a miraculous sight for any Pokemon who’s having trouble coping with the intense weather of the desert. The majority of the Southern Nitragan Pokemon don’t find themselves visiting the oasis very often. Because much of Southern Nitraga’s population is made up of Fire, Rock, and Ground-types, taking a dip wouldn’t be the smartest idea. However, if you’re a Pokemon who can safely soak for a while in the water, visiting the oasis is a must.

Daybreak Temple

While in every other part of the island, Southern Nitragans have no problem with being as lively and raucous as they please, Daybreak Temple is the only place that never fails to quiet them down. This mysterious temple of unknown origin is said to have just spontaneously appeared in the Daybreak Desert one day. As such, its very existence is thought of as a miracle, brought to Nitraga by Mew Themself. Because of this miracle from Mew, Daybreak Temple is where the Pokemon of Southern Nitraga choose to pray and leave gifts for Mew. Perhaps the most fascinating thing about Daybreak Temple is the ancient illustrations etched into its walls. The style of these drawings is similar to that of the pictures on the walls of Feulis’s ruins. However, there is a key difference here - Feulis’s ruins depict Arceus, while Daybreak Temple’s walls display Mew. Whether or not the mystery of Daybreak Temple is ever uncovered, it will always remain an important symbol in the hearts of the Southern Nitragans.



Midpass

As its name suggests, the Midpass is the strip of land dividing Northern and Southern Nitraga. Travelling across it is a rather unusual experience - as you progress further into Southern Nitraga, the temperature slowly heats up, and as you begin to venture towards Northern Nitraga, you’ll begin to notice more and more stray snowflakes littering the ground.

Destirae

Alignment: Arceus

Most Common Pokemon Types: Flying, Rock, Ground, Steel, Fighting

Destirae is a mountainous island, with huge cliffs reaching to the horizon and past the clouds. It takes a very brave and tough Pokemon to live here, because those mountainsides don’t joke around. Fall off, and you’re just about done for. Because of this, many Flying-type Pokemon make their home here - they don’t have to deal with that risk. Destirae sports what is probably the strongest military in terms of raw power, due to the dangerous environment the Pokemon of Destirae live in. However, this can sometimes serve to be a problem. Many of Destirae's military members tend to be overconfident and overly-reliant on their brute physical strength to carry them through battles. Fortunately for them, though, Destirae is able to depend on its talented military tactician in solo battles. And, when fighting with their fellow Arceus supporters, the army of Quartzir, Quartzir can just handle the strategizing for them if need be. Proud, tough, and dangerous, the members of Destirae's army aren’t to be messed with.

Notable Locations

Passage Points

Need a lift to another part of the mountainous cliffs of Destirae? Too timid to manage the climb on your own? Well, just find a Passage Point, marked by a handy sign, and if a Flying-type Passage Porter is on duty, they’ll fly you straight to where you need to go - for a fee.

Sanctum City

Resting atop the pinnacle of Destirae, Sanctum City is the end goal for all aspiring climbers. It boasts a rather impressive population when compared to the smaller villages sprinkled throughout the cliffs of Destirae. While it’s easy enough to just get a ride from a Passage Porter up to Sanctum City, the same can’t be said about climbing up there yourself. Treacherous cliffs, steep slopes, and powerful winds are just a few of the threats that await Pokemon who attempt to reach Sanctum City all on their own. However, there is a very special reward that awaits travellers who brave the perils of Destirae - legend has it that Pokemon who climb from the foot of the mountains all the way to the Sanctum City peak will receive a blessing from the mythical Arceus. It’s for the sake of proving their determination and skills to Arceus that Pokemon all across Destirae continue braving the trials that the journey to Sanctum City holds.

Sanctum Sanctuary

Atop the tallest peak in all of Destirae, on a cliff that stretches out over the open sea, rests the Sanctum Sanctuary, the final landmark of any climber who is tenacious enough to explore the rugged landscapes of Destirae. Sanctum Sanctuary is the shrine where the Pokemon of Destirae go to pray, leave offerings, and receive blessings from their almighty God, Arceus. The Sanctum Sanctuary altar is where ambitious climbers are finally rewarded for their efforts. What is this reward, you may ask? All Pokemon who reach Sanctum Sanctuary by scaling the crags of Destirae are said to be sworn by to secrecy by Arceus Themself - you’ll have to step up to the challenge yourself to find out!

Crevice Canyon

Within an inlet that can only be found by carefully scanning the surface of Destirae’s rocky ridges exists a place that hardly any Pokemon knows about - even among the most powerful of authority figures on Destirae. If you manage to discover this secretive opening, you’ll find that deep inside of it lies a vast network of underground gorges - the perfect place for Rogues who wish to separate themselves from the rest of the world. Crevice Canyon, sometimes referred to as “The Hideout,” is where the biggest known settlement of Rogues chooses to live. The Pokemon of Crevice Canyon are an extremely tight-knit group, welcoming any newcomers who happen upon their hidden home with open arms and open hearts. The majority of them don’t even seem to care that they’ve been cast out from the rest of Destirae - if they’re unwanted there, they can just create a community of their own!

Quartzir

Alignment: Arceus

Most Common Pokemon Types: All, but Water-types slightly moreso than the rest

A very strange island, it appears to be an absolutely tiny patch of land that couldn’t hold any Pokemon, but this is only because the majority of the island has been completely submerged underwater. Underneath the surface, the island is almost like an aquarium - a powerful, near indestructible barrier surrounds the bustling cities and Pokemon of Quartzir, and through the barrier, Water-type Pokemon can be seen swimming about. Quartzir’s military, trained to fight for the glory of Arceus, is very uptight. If you can’t perform up to the army’s standards, you’d better prepare yourself for a grave punishment. This particular island is in the best condition out of the others, simply because it is very difficult to attack and locate. The island used to have a series of pipes connecting it to the other islands, but they were shut off due to the danger of oncoming attacks from Mew supporters. The military is extremely dangerous because, as said before, Quartzir’s mighty commander, Sepres the Milotic, will not take in any stragglers. She’ll work you to exhaustion if she has to, and will not take no for an answer.

Notable Locations

Spiracle City

Spiracle City, a crowded, chaotic metropolis, takes up nearly all of Quartzir and is the center for all of its activities. Stepping into Spiracle City for the first time is overwhelming to say the least - there’s no other place where you’ll see so many Pokemon in one place. And, because of the size and diversity of Spiracle City’s environment, the hordes of Pokemon you’ll find there are extremely varied. The residents of Spiracle City come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, as well as having vastly differing type combinations. The only type of Pokemon you’ll have difficulty finding in Spiracle City is Water-types. While Spiracle City is inside of the gigantic glass dome beneath the surface of the ocean, Quartzirian Water-types have their own home on the outside. It’s the sheer amount of diversity and organization that Quartzir has that makes it the fearsome force on the battlefield that it is. While Quartzir doesn’t necessarily have a higher population than the other islands, it has the advantage of having easy access to a massive group of Pokemon all in the same place - all gathered in Spiracle City.

Hallowed Hall

There are two places that will immediately catch anyone’s eye upon entering Spiracle City - Quartzir’s official military base, and the Hallowed Hall. The Hallowed Hall is the chosen place of worship for the Pokemon of Quartzir, and it is perhaps the most intricately constructed place in the entire city. Entering the Hallowed Hall for the first time is an incredibly humbling experience unlike any other. It’s constructed similarly to a museum, with various creations dedicated to displaying the glory of Arceus lining the walls. Ancient artifacts recovered from the bottom of the sea, paintings displaying Arceus’s brilliance, stone tablets with legends of the mighty God carved into them... If you can think of it and it relates to Arceus in some way, it’s probably here. The Hallowed Hall really shows just how devoted the citizens of Quartzir can be towards their beloved deity.

Abandoned Alleys

As you exit Quartzir’s military base and venture through Spiracle City from there, you’ll find that the city begins to slowly and progressively change. The buildings nearest to the military base are fancy and ornate, and they exude a certain, almost royal sense of superiority that you won’t find anywhere else. After wandering away from the base, the buildings and facilities begin to seem more and more ordinary. Identical houses line both sides of the street, as if originality is no longer a concern. Then, finally, on the edges of the city are the drab, crumbling buildings that are hardly even glanced at by passerby. It’s on these shabby outskirts of town where you’ll find the Abandoned Alleys. While most Pokemon would dread living in a grungy area of such low class, it’s the ideal spot for Quartzirian Rogues. When you’re a Rogue who’s stuck living in Quartzir, where the military laws and punishments are far stricter than anywhere else, you’d want nothing more than to find a corner of the city where hardly anyone is even aware of your existence.

Driftdeep Reef

While Spiracle City is the central for all of Quartzir’s activities, it’s not all there is to the island. In fact, on the outside of Quartzir’s glass dome, you can see firsthand what kind of a world has been created within the surrounding ocean. The Water-type Pokemon of Quartzir have managed to form a whole new town and community of their own in the form of Driftdeep Reef. As its name suggests, Driftdeep Reef is a town specifically for Water-type Pokemon that has been built atop a coral reef. This means that Driftdeep Reef is far more bright, colorful, and structurally unique than Spiracle City. Because Driftdeep Reef is home to only Water-type Pokemon, that means its population is far smaller when compared to Spiracle City. However, many of the residents seem to prefer it this way. They can easily take a look at Spiracle City through Quartzir’s glass dome at any time, and seeing the constant hustle and bustle has made them grateful for their comparatively laid-back lifestyle.

Feulis

Glenn

An old, wise Venusaur who is far past his prime, Glenn has been the leader of Alnamos Village for who knows how long. His long life, though it may be coming to an end, has taught him many things, and his only hope is that he can pass them on to his dear village before his time is up. Because of his age, he isn’t as much the leader anymore as the one who watches over the village. He can no longer battle, and he is growing weaker and weaker each day. But, still, he remains a kindly and thoughtful Pokemon who loves nothing more than his wonderful community.

Bullet

The next in line for the spot of the coveted village leader, this diligent Sceptile puts his duties above all else, strictly and harshly trying to keep every last Pokemon in line for their own protection. Bullet often comes off as a stick-in-the-mud with his no-nonsense attitude and his harsh view of the world. However, the Pokemon who train under him wouldn’t agree. Bullet has taught quite a few Pokemon about how to fight and defend the village in a crisis, and his students all look up to him immensely. To them, his stubbornness is persistence, his irritability is passion, and his need to keep everyone in their place is loyalty. Despite the fact that Bullet can easily suck the fun out of anything, you can’t deny that he’s certainly devoted to Feulis and its citizens. And, in a place where almost every resident is gentle and peaceful, sometimes a little discipline is all you need.

"The Fury"

All throughout Alnamos Village, Pokemon tell stories of "The Fury," a fearsome creature who lives in the eastern part of the Greenleaf Forest. It is said that The Fury's ruthless nature strikes fear into the hearts of even the most courageous of warriors. Even more horrifying is The Fury's ravenous appetite - the only meal that can satisfy it is children! For years, Pokemon have frightened their children with these made-up tales, with the goal of scaring them so much that they would never dare to set foot into the deep woods. However, there may be some truth to these rumors. There are some Pokemon, both young and old, who claim to have seen this fearsome monster. Some say that The Fury has claws that are so long and sharp that they could even slice through bone. Others assert that The Fury's strong jaws and massive teeth could reduce a boulder to rubble. Meanwhile, others state that it's The Fury's psychic powers that make it so terrifying. As no one can agree on whether or not The Fury is real, or on what form it takes, this monstrous being still remains a mystery.

Runark

Rufus

This giant behemoth of an Excadrill appears to be fierce and heartless to any average onlooker, but every Pokemon living in Runark knows that he is the very definition of a gentle giant. Rufus has everything that a military commander like him would need - quick reflexes, a sharp, strategic mind, a durable body, and, most of all, pure, raw power. However, his kind nature and soft spot for all things cute and cuddly is what really sets him apart from the rest of the commanders. While Rufus is a strong believer in Mew, he primarily fights just to protect the residents of Runark - his “family” of sorts. Because of this, it’s very rare for the Runarkian army to launch a direct attack on another island - if possible, Rufus wants to avoid striking others unless they’ve struck first. The tender nature Rufus possesses has made him a beloved figure in the hearts of the Pokemon of Runark - especially in the heart of Griff the Sandslash, Rufus’s trusted mate and right-hand man. Even though Rufus would prefer peace to war, underestimating him and his loyalty to Runark on the battlefield will be your last mistake.

Griff

To any Pokemon living outside of Runark, this smooth-talking, laid-back Sandslash might seem a little strange. But, to the Pokemon of Runark, he is their beloved instructor of sorts, focusing on training Pokemon into powerful soldiers when he’s not in the heat of battle. Griff is a very quirky Pokemon, seeming to be relaxed in even the bleakest of situations and preferring to take take life’s challenges as they come and go with the flow, rather than rushing ahead recklessly. But despite his relaxed nature, he is surprisingly extremely sociable, able to strike up conversation with complete strangers and talk for hours. He’s also got quite a few odd catchphrases under his belt, and passes out weird nicknames like party favors. But even though he seems careless, and always cool and calm, Griff changes dramatically once he enters a fight. He’s a tough, ruthless fighter who strikes fast and hard, and will only hit harder if you dare to hurt one of his companions. This especially holds true for Rufus. The two have pretty much known each other since birth, and they eventually went on to become mates. But, whether he’s a rough n’ tumble berserker or an odd yet endearing rascal, Griff is someone who can definitely be relied on.

Leona

If you asked the average citizen of Runark about their childhood, they’d most likely say that they had many fond memories with Leona. The mother figure of the community of Runark, Leona the Kangaskhan takes great joy in taking care of the young Pokemon who can’t fend for themselves, whether they have to stay in her care for a few hours while their parents are out working hard, or they have no parents at all. Leona remembers clearly that she grew up without any parental figures in her life - her mother died while giving birth to her, and her father abandoned her soon after. It was difficult making her way in the world and learning to survive without their help, and she doesn’t want any child to have to go through the same. However, even though much of her time is spent nurturing the children of Runark, that’s not all she can do. Her powerful body and tough armor doesn’t mess around - and if any threatening Pokemon try to harm her “family,” she won’t let them off easy. Because of her natural skill with other Pokemon and her immense power, she even sometimes helps Griff train the newer recruits. With her powerful attacks and good-natured spirit, the community of Runark owes a lot to its mother figure.

Nitraga

Sinatra

An odd and somewhat twisted Froslass, the strange thoughts dwelling in Sinatra’s mind are a mystery to everyone, and frankly, most Pokemon don’t even want to know what she’s thinking about. She’s the quiet sort of Pokemon who mostly prefers to talk to herself rather than others - some say they’ve even heard her muttering what appear to be curses under her breath. She has a more pessimistic nature, the opposite of her fellow commander Fianna’s brash, optimistic one, but her negative outlook on life doesn’t bring her down. In fact, it makes her even more determined to change the outcome of battles. Some say her cynical nature comes from Nitraga’s previous defeats at the hands of the Arceus Soldiers, while others choose to believe that her gloomy persona stems from having faced the bitter embrace of death once before. Whatever you may think about this commander, you can’t argue that her status-inducing moves can really screw up the enemies plans, even if she may seem a little bit too happy to make her enemies suffer.

Fianna

A tough girl who isn’t to be messed with, Fianna is the commander of Nitraga’s southern army. She’s a Rampardos with a serious attitude who isn’t afraid to prove in battle that she’s the best commander of them all. In order to demonstrate her raw strength, she trained hard in order to conquer the scorching heat of Mt. Malice, the most menacing volcano in all of Nitraga. Many Pokemon have suffered considerable injuries due to the overwhelming heat of Mt. Malice’s lava - but not Fianna! She’s spent so much time around Mt. Malice that magma has cooled all over her body. This makes her rocky armor even more durable and her head smashes even more devastating! As a contrast to her fellow Nitragan commander, Sinatra, she focuses purely on offense, living by her motto of “Strike first, ask questions later!” Doing serious damage to enemies isn’t all she can do, though. When you’re being assaulted by Fianna’s fearsome barrage of attacks, you won’t even realize that Sinatra is running wild with her status conditions until it’s too late. If you don’t know what you’re up against, facing off against Fianna can be just like throwing your life away.

Mira and Milo

An odd duo with an odd way of going about life, these twin Meowstic are never seen apart. The two run a travelling fortune telling business, and they’ll go through the most treacherous mountain range, across the widest, driest desert imaginable, or possibly even over the ocean to secure a bit of money. Though they may seem like frauds at first, with Milo’s greedy, penny-pinching attitude and Mira’s eerie, inopportune giggling, their fortunes are shockingly accurate. For each fortune they predict, they’ll normally only get one detail wrong. This is due to their immense psychic power (though Mira may suggest, with a spine-tingling cackle, that it’s because they have certain “connections”), which is leaps and bounds beyond what two Pokemon with so little fighting experience should have. Because of their power, each Nitragan commander has tried time and time again to recruit the dynamic duo to the military, but to no avail. Mira and Milo believe they have no need to answer the silly question over Arceus vs. Mew, especially when they figured out the true answer long ago. Whether they believe Mira and Milo are complete frauds or telling the absolute truth, any Pokemon who meets this brother-sister duo can agree that they’re unlike anyone you’ll ever meet.

Destirae

Vic

The tough-as-nails commander of Destirae, this loud and rambunctious Braviary is as strong as an ox and as stubborn as one, too. If one of his trainees decides to give him “no” for an answer, they may as well have spoken their last words. Despite this, though, he has a definite sense of humor, and doesn’t really take much too seriously. Other than battle, that is. Vic is fierce in battle, wanting to live up to his namesake as a leading force of victory for his lord Arceus, and will never back down from a challenge.

Laos

Sometimes, within the thick of war, Pokemon forget what they’re truly fighting for. Though he can be difficult to seek out, as the mountain ranges of Destirae reach far across the island, Laos is always there to remind you. A strong believer in the glory of Arceus, Laos has spent year after year of his long life giving thanks to the benevolent god, believing that he gave Pokemon the ability to pave their own way in life. Despite the fact that he should have retired from the army long ago, he battles on for the sake of his beliefs, training hard every day. Being a Mienshao, he is very quick and agile on the battlefield despite his age, striking fast and hard. He’s got a sharp wit as well, and his long life has given him both immeasurable patience and wisdom. He’s accepted the fact that his life may come to an end at any time, so he’s decided that any young Pokemon hoping to further their skills can train under his wing for as long as they’d like - that is, if they can find him among Destirae’s vast cliffs.

Avex

A strangely cheery Pokemon among a crowd of soldiers weighed down by the horrendous sights of war, this upbeat Gliscor will dive into just about anything with a smile on her face - even a battle. She finds battles fascinating, and will try her best to analyze everything she can about a Pokemon’s move in the middle of one - that is, before she has to get out of the way. Avex constantly has her nose in books whenever she isn’t on the battlefield. This is a rather rare sight for a Pokemon considering that Pelagos’ written language has been lost in time, and is now only known by a select few. She knows the ins and outs of just about every strategy in the book, and as such, she’s been unofficially elected Destirae’s resident tactician. She loves nothing more than to discover more and more about the way Pokemon channel their power, and about the characteristics of each species. And, if you’re unlucky enough to catch her at a time when she’s particularly excited about her studies, she’ll decide she needs to exuberantly share everything she’s learned with you - whether you like it or not. For a renowned strategist, she’s rather disorganized. Constantly surrounding her while she studies are papers that have just been lazily thrown about. She’ll get so wrapped up in her research that it’s become expected for her to show up a few minutes late to strategy meetings. And, you’ll have to spend quite a bit of time around her to get her to remember your name (In the meantime, she’ll use one of her lovingly crafted nicknames. “No need to thank me,” she’ll add.). But, she’s only so scatterbrained because she’s using up the space in her mind to remember just about any detail about any Pokemon you could ever imagine. She’s like a walking encyclopedia, and can give you a comprehensive oral guide on how each species fights - all the way from Abomasnow to Zweilous. So, when you meet her for the first time, don’t judge her by her excessive enthusiasm, forgetfulness, or odd habits. Judge her by her dedication to her research, and her loyalty to the military’s cause.

Dorian

Chatty, comical, and above all else, charismatic, this Hawlucha is the go-to Pokemon when you just want to forget your worries and have a good time. Dorian was the original founder of the Crevice Canyon, and the one who made it into the haven for rejects and misfits that it is today. As such, he’s the unofficial leader of the Rogues of Destirae, and is adored by just about all of them. And, really, it’s no wonder that they do - his charm and wit could bring any Pokemon out of the doldrums. In fact, the Rogues of Destirae probably wouldn’t be the closely bonded group they are now if it wasn’t for him. As much as he tries to cover up his past with a fun and light-hearted attitude, he will always have to live with the memories of his former identity - a former Soldier, and, at one time, Vic’s right-hand man. The fact that Dorian used to be such a well-respected and powerful military member is a secret that very few Pokemon among the Rogues of Destirae know. However, this isn’t the most mysterious thing about him - that would be why he suddenly chose to flee the military and carve out his own path as a Rogue. Not a single soul knows just why Dorian abandoned his life as a Soldier, and it’s possible that no one will ever know.

Quartzir

Sepres

A cold-hearted and stoic Milotic, Sepres is not only the commander of Quartzir’s military, but she is also the self-proclaimed queen of Quartzir itself. She is a bit on the egotistical side, taking pride in her skills, but hey, she really does have a good reason to be. She, like the other commanders, is a fierce foe in battle. Her unusually high speed for her species allows her to strike faster than you could ever imagine, and she may as well be unrivaled in water combat. She is the sole reason for her military’s uptight standards and won’t hesitate to personally punish any Pokemon who isn’t performing up to snuff. It’s because of her ruthless nature and natural ability to strike fear into the hearts of others that she has complete control over a sizable portion of Quartzir’s population. Rumor has it that this cruel empress might be hiding a secret, but no Pokemon has been brave enough to confirm that for themselves...

Dyna

Sepres’s attack dog of sorts, Dyna has developed quite the reputation for herself among the population of Quartzir. She’s unflinchingly loyal, carrying out even the most violent orders at just a flick of her master’s tail, and being a Houndoom, she’s viciously strong. Pokemon after Pokemon has applauded her incredible determination and crowned her as one of the best soldiers around. It’s clear that she’s extremely devoted to the military’s cause... Or, at least,
that’s how she seems to be. Dyna has quite a few secrets to hide concerning her true alignment, and she isn’t nearly as devoted to her position as one might think. Despite her vicious actions and incredible strength, Dyna is really a kind and gentle soul, which is why she’s been doubting whether or not fighting for the sake of Arceus is really worth it.

Wink

If you ever find yourself within the hectic main city of Quartzir, be sure to remain diligent at all times. Look in front of you. Look behind you. Look around the corner. If you manage to spot a hooded figure moving through the chaotic crowd of Pokemon surrounding you, get away as fast as you can. Don’t stop running until you’re sure you’re sure they’re not behind you. You’ve just escaped the fate of becoming one of Wink’s victims. Unlike most Rogues, this nefarious Scrafty is bold enough to leave the Abandoned Alley and venture out into the busy streets of Spiracle City. Being in a place where so many Pokemon are out and about is usually a Rogue’s worst nightmare, but Wink uses the chaos to his advantage. Wink has such a massive grudge against Soldiers and Pokemon who associate with them that he has no qualms with bringing harm to them. He gets his food and money from snatching it right from other Pokemon, and he’s become rather talented at his thievery. It’s certainly a big risk, but it’s one that has always paid off for him. When he steals from other Pokemon, they have no way of knowing exactly who did it - and that’s when he uses the hustle and the bustle to make his stealthy escape. However, he doesn’t just use the money for himself. Its very common for Wink to share his food and money with the Rogues around him. This has lead many of the Rogues in Quartzir to respect him deeply - he’s taking a risk for their sake! However, there’s still a sizable amount of Rogues who disagree with Wink’s methods and outright refuse to accept gifts from him. Whether you think Wink is in the right or in the wrong, it’s undeniable that he’s got a knack for what he does - for better or for worse.

1. No bunnying, or controlling someone else's character. Controlling NPCs is fine.


2. No godmodding, or overpowering your character to the point where they're unstoppable in battle.


3. If you need to make any changes of some sort, to either your character or the plot, I’d prefer that you message me about it first. This includes introducing a new character (NPC or not), evolving your Pokemon, or making extremely important twists/changes to the plot. I am a bit more lenient about twists because I understand that messaging me can take some of the shock value away, but if you’re willing to message me about it first, I would appreciate that.


4. If you know you’re going to be inactive, let me know beforehand. I will consider you inactive if it’s been two weeks since you last posted.


5. If you are inactive and haven’t informed me in advance that you will be, I may have to kick you from the RP if you’re inactive for too long. Not posting for 1 month without talking to me first is grounds for being kicked.


6. If there are any real-life circumstances preventing you from doing your best work, or if you just have writer’s block, please let me know. I won’t judge - it happens to all of us.


7. No harassing or manipulating other RPers. Let's all try to be civil with each other, alright? (If another RP member is treating you badly in any way, please let me know! I'll be sure to have a chat with them.)


8. If you break a minor rule, I’ll give you a warning, but you won’t receive any harsh punishments. If you break a major rule, you’ll get a strike. Three strikes, and you’re out. The exception to this is if you have been consistently harassing or manipulating other RPers - in that case, depending on the severity of the situation, I can and might kick you out immediately.

Rather than being a first-come-first-serve basis, this RP will take as many sign-ups as are submitted for two weeks. In two weeks, I will look over each sign-up and pick the 11 best to actually join the RP. So, please go above and beyond with your sign-ups! (I might move the deadline forward or back if I get more or less Sign-Ups than expected.) All other details are included in the Sign-Up form.

Name: (Only a first name is needed, but you can add a last name if you want.)

Species: (Self-explanatory. Preferably a basic or unevolved Pokemon, but they can be evolved if they evolve at a low level. I might make exceptions. There are no levels in this RP, but the estimated level of strength at the beginning is around the equivalent of Level 20. If there is a backstory reason why your character must be evolved or must be stronger than the equivalent of Level 20, I might make an exception.)

Gender: (Self-explanatory. Not restricted to just male or female - feel free to fill in whatever gender you’d like. Specifying pronouns is appreciated as well.)

Faction: (Feulis-Dweller, Soldier, or Rogue. Please specify whether you are aligned with Arceus or Mew if you are a Soldier. If you're a Cultist, please make a note of that here as well.)

Island: (Which island you live on. Keep in mind how your species factors in to your ability to survive in a certain island habitat. For example, a Grass-type probably won’t thrive very well in hot, fiery Nitraga. Generally, Mew Soldiers live on Runark and Nitraga, while Arceus Soldiers live on Destirae and Quartzir.)

Moves: (4 moves to start out, but you can have more than 4 later on. You can’t have any TM or HM moves yet, but you may have either 1 egg move or 1 move tutor move. If there is a backstory reason why your character must know more than 4 moves or a move that doesn’t fit within these guidelines, I might make an exception.)

Personality: (At least 100 words, but you can type more if you want a better shot at making it into the RP.)

History: (At least 100 words, but you can type more if you want a better shot at getting into the RP.)

Other: (Optional. Any other information that doesn’t fit in anywhere else.

Writing Sample: (A sample of writing. This can be a piece of writing from the past, or a sample written specifically for this sign-up. Please put the sample in a quote or spoiler box so it’s separated from the rest of the text. This sample doesn’t have to be very long, but the longer it is, the better.)
