[center] [h3]Pokemon Legendary Guardians[/h3] [i]Legend tells of ten chosen ones who will bond with the Pokemon of Legend to save Viore from great calamity.[/i] GM: [@Shiny Keldeo] Co-GM: [@Ninian] [hr] [h3]Story[/h3] [hider=In The Far Past...] [i]It was a time of conflict. Warring kingdoms battled for absolute control of the land. The magical creatures we once referred to as gods were now used to fight battles for the ones that now control them. One King refused to fight, knowing that war would destroy everyone and everything. He desperately sought for a way to end the conflict once and for all. He consulted a Wise Man, who told him of the powerful Dragon that held the power to end the strife and conflict. The King, unknowing of what truly awaited him, set off on a quest to find this Dragon. After many weeks, he stood at the base of a massive mountain. With great determination he climbed the mountain to its peak, where he met the great Dragon. He begged the Dragon to aid him, to end the war once and for all. The dragon granted his request, and in a single day, every war raging across the land was ended. The King, who had summoned the great Dragon, now stood as the most powerful king in the land, the true ruler of the land. He asked the great Dragon once more if he would help him keep peace and security in the land, and the Dragon agreed. Many seasons passed, and the King grew old and gray. Soon the time came for him to pass on into a new life. Before this, he left control of his kingdom to his Son, and the Dragon pledged to help him achieve what his father had. However, the Son held great darkness in his heart. After taking power, the power he now held quickly corrupted him. He became cruel, harsh, and unjust. He turned the Dragon into his slave, and forced him to punish any who stood in his way. No one could stand against such power, they thought. And for many seasons, this was the case. Soon though, the Wise Man who had told the King about the Dragon, gathered a group of seemingly random people, and imbued them with the marks of magical creatures. He then sent them out on a quest to find the magical creature that would respond to their mark. And so they did. After a season had passed, all had returned with the creature the mark responded to. Now, the Wise Man told them they must fight the new King, and free the great Dragon from his control. Many thought they were crazy, but soon they came into battle against him. The castle he resided in was almost completely destroyed in the battle. When the dust cleared and the last of the rubble fell, the new King was at his knees. Revoked of his power and stripped of his title, he was banished to the unknown reaches of the world as punishment for his crimes. After this, the ones who defeated him became known as the Guardians. They eventually disappeared, leaving but one word for all of history. "Should this power be needed again, a new generation of Guardians will be chosen by powers barely fathomable to us. They will carry on the legacy, the hope, and future of this land!"[/i] [/hider] [hider=In Modern Times...] [i]The Viore Region is an amazing place filled with Pokemon found all over the world. The variety here is unmatched, and some believe that there may even be undiscovered Pokemon here! It attracts Trainers from all over the world, who want to come and experience a journey of a lifetime. All kinds of trainers, young and old, fresh or veteran, but also good and evil. Along with being a PokeManiac's paradise, it is also scattered with ruins and legends of a time long forgotten. A time when most Pokemon were revered as gods, Pokeballs didn't exist, and rival kingdoms and clans were almost always at war with one another. Some legends have completely faded from history, while others remain as fairy tales, child's bedtime stories per say. However, some believe the legends are much more than just legends, and wish to control the power spelled out in them. One organization has become prominent in this, Team Royal Skies. Their goal is unknown, but they have operatives across Viore searching for something... nobody knows exactly what except for them, and they aren't talking. However, they are right about one thing. Many of these legends are much more than the bedtime stories they have become, as a small group of trainers will soon see for themselves. I said before they would be going on the journey of a lifetime, but these few will have a VIP pass to the main event of the century.[/i] [/hider] [hr] [h3]Premise[/h3] In the far past, there was a group who became known as the Legendary Guardians who saved the Viore Region from a tyrannical king. They soon vanished, but said that if they were ever needed, a new generation would be chosen by fate. It seems that conditions in Viore, although they may not seem like it to the naked eye, have become just that drastic. New Legendary Guardians are being chosen, and you might be one of them... [hider=Legendary Pokemon and Powers] As a Legendary Guardian, you will have some special abilities and powers based on your Guardian Legendary. Those would be the following: 1. Keldeo - ???
