Natural sources of energy (wind, hydro, compression, heat, etc.) are gathered to power all of Hoenn. Mauville City oversees all collections and distributions of energy but also reports to the Fairfax Association. This allows all of Hoenn to be largely pollution-free. The culture of this RP’s version of Hoenn will be considered liberal (socially, sexually, morally, whatever.). Most believe technology and nature can work together in harmony and that if technology negatively impacts nature, it does not belong. Consider this the baseline for your character’s involvement/opinion/role in this RP. There are 18 Gyms, one of each type. The Gyms do not reside in the same places as the game/anime and they do not reside only in towns or cities. All 18 badges are required to challenge the Elite Four, which are stationed on Victory Road. The Pokemon League is where the Championship takes place, which is held in the summer each year. Participants are only required to have "successfully" defeated their region's Elite Four to compete in Hoenn’s Championship. Mega Evolution has not yet been discovered, though there may be those investigating the possibility of Mega Evolution. I'd like to explore this mechanic throughout the RP where appropriate. There is no maximum to the number of Pokemon to which an individual has immediate access. All are stored in one’s Gauntlet or carried on their person (should they not wish to have a gauntlet). There is no PC system and trading is performed by hand. You may create any type of character you wish, there is no restriction (this includes age, occupation (Gym Leader, Scientist, Breeder, etc.), race, nationality, or even religion). Whether they interact with Pokemon is up to you. I only ask you keep in mind that there is intent to interact with the plot (which will be introduced ICly when the time comes). The nature of this RP will work like a D&D campaign mixed with Sandbox. No two characters are required to interact with each other. You may decide to start the RP together or meet at a designated location along the way. I, as the GM, will be interacting with each player individually, however. I will introduce NPCs and plot points. I might guide certain characters together, but you all decide how your own story plays out, ultimately. I encourage collaboration (privately or publicly is fine) with each other as well as with me.[/quote] [h2][center][b][u]Rules[/u][/b][/center][/h2][quote]- No God-modding, power-playing, meta-gaming, etc. etc. - There is no minimum or maximum post length. However, it [u]must[/u] add to your plot or the plot of others should you be interacting with other players. - Please be conscious of grammar. Ironically, my reading comprehension is lower than average and good grammar will help things along tremendously. - Criticism, from all parties, should be constructive and respectful. Over PM is always best. - Character Sheets should be PM'd to me before posting in the Character Tab. I do not want to see CSs in the OOC. I do not want to see WIPs anywhere in the thread. Make a PM for yourself to work on or send the WIP to me and I'll help you finish it if you have concerns/questions/etc. - There is no limit to the number of characters you may employ. However, if issues occur, you will be asked to let any number of them go. - Posting will be once after each of my own posts. Exceptions to this rule may occur. - This list may change.[/quote] [hider=Example CS][b][u]Franklin Broadson[/u][/b][hider][b][u]Age[/u][/b]: 36 [u][b]History[/b][/u]: He has referred to himself as "Broadson" since he made the ranks of the Marine Rangers at the age of 16. However, his parents have always called him "Frankie." None now dare to call him such, and most don't even know his first name. Sergeant Broadson is a man of driven purpose and deep determination. Frankie is a boy who worked as a fisherman's son and who knew joy and freedom. Franklin Broadson was born during the Wet Season on the island of Dewford. His parents, Martin and Theresa, were subsistence farmers. Martin worked the small dinghies and nets while Theresa perfected her needlework and tailoring. Franklin never had fashionable clothes, but they were always handmade by his mother. They were usually highly practical with helping his father upon the shores catching Remoraid, Finneon, Goldeen, Corphish, Krabby, and Clauncher. Broadson is the eldest of three. His sister, Asurelia, was born just a year after himself. His youngest sister was born two years later as Melioda. Melioda looked up to Frankie and depended on him for the smallest of tasks. Asurelia was fascinated with the sea and took much more after her father than Broadson even did. He had little schooling and never pursued training. He believed his place was at home to help provide for his family. They weren't in poverty, managing to trade for what they needed, but they never had the fancy gadgets of the Fairfax Association. There was never any strong envy of others. It was more of a disappointment that his experiences were stunted due to his responsibilities even as a small child. He was reluctant to leave his family when the Rangers discovered his athleticism and diligence along the shore of Dewford. His parents urged him to pursue something other than what little they could provide for him. They knew he wanted adventure, or just something more than the life of a subsistence farmer. He was 12 at the time, the youngest the Rangers had recruited at the time. He even trained with the other Marine Rangers, despite only being a student. It was clear his talents were in physical ability rather than mental. They accepted this but pushed him to improve his studies to round out his abilities and immense usefulness to the Rangers as a whole. At 16, he was promoted to Corporal, skipping the rank of Area Ranger. Though still a cadet in most Rangers' eyes, he was proficient in his training and effective on each mission on which he was dispatched. However, his "successes" didn't come without immense hardship. His body is now literally scarred from these missions that were above his age and experience. The Grand Colonel was eyeing this boy to be his successor, however. After ten long years of, what seemed to be, trial and error, he was finally promoted to the rank of Sergeant, where he is currently. And though he's always been stationed on Dewford, since that is where the Marine Base resides, Broadson doesn't spend much, if any, time at home. Because he takes his job so seriously, he believes that the work of a Ranger comes before any individual since their aim is to protect the well-being of all. He usually only gained the cooperation of a Pokemon during missions. A Tirtouga ended up remaining by his side after a particularly difficult mission in Mossdeep City and Shoal Cave. They became inseparable after a bout against Sealeo and Walrein who were destroying the ecosystem of the area.
