	The noble lands of Kanto, in an age long past when they expanded far beyond their modern borders. Ruled over by the honorable [color=B1E4FC]Shogun Fuji[/color], this land has fallen into an inner conflict. Three of Kanto's grand Clans have taken to warring with one another, each of their leaders trying to prove their strength to the venerable Shogun and earn the right to become the leading Clan, while the fourth remains inactive. The Clans of Kanto are the [color=40826D]Viridian Clan[/color], led by [color=40826D]Olive the Patient[/color]; the [color=E34234]Vermillion Clan[/color], led by [color=E34234]Russet the Headstrong[/color]; the [color=6e00bf]Indigo Clan[/color] led by [color=6e00bf]Beryl the Adaptable[/color]; the [color=FFD700]Gold Clan[/color], which remains uninvolved in the conflict, led by [color=FFD700]Aurel the Brilliant[/color].

	The [color=40826D]Viridian Clan[/color] specializes in Grass-Type Pokémon and aims to grow an empire which knows no end. The [color=E34234]Vermillion Clan[/color] specializes in Fire-Type Pokémon and hopes to forge an empire capable of crushing anyone who stands against it. The [color=6e00bf]Indigo Clan[/color] specializes in Water-Type Pokémon and seeks to build an empire that can withstand any test of time. And the [color=FFD700]Gold Clan[/color], whose members utilize Pokémon of all types, is powerful and looks only to build the Shogun's influence. Together, they have proven themselves nigh unstoppable. Split, as they find themselves now, such a powerful force my find itself toppled. A recent invention, dubbed the Pokéball, may further be their undoing, as it has allowed the warriors of these Clans to tame the untamable. Pokémon fight on the field of battle alongside samurai in vast numbers, and with such powerful weapons in such accessible quantities, the war may meet a very bloody end indeed.

	Two villages mark the major trading posts of the Kanto Region: [color=B1E4FC]Saffron Village[/color], where the Shogun resides, and [color=FFD700]Goldenrod Village[/color], from whence Aurel leads her Clan. The wilds between are vast and untamed, home to Pokémon both large and fierce, where travelers would be wise to come prepared, lest a hungry Arcanine see them as food. The most terrifying of these wild creatures are known to the commonfolk as Alpha Pokémon, which are larger and more powerful than their average brethren. A lone Alpha has has the capability to defeat and entire squad of warriors and decimate merchant convoys, nevermind with a horde of like-minded followers at its back.

	To make matters all the worse, bandits belonging to no clan make their homes in the forests and mountains, sometimes gaining influence over such Alpha Pokémon, and such brutes care not for who is injured during their conquests for mountains of gold and coin. Thus, travel is scarce and only undertaken with the utmost of security, as beyond the walls of a notable settlement lie danger and death. Better to remain safe than risk one's neck to trade with the next settlement.[hr][hr]	Welcome to [b]Pokémon: Feudal Legends[/b]! In this RP you will be trying to settle a civil war between Kanto's Clans before they destroy themselves. You will have noticed that this ancient version of Kanto also includes the portion of land modernly known as Johto. This RP takes place before the two were separate governments. To accomplish your mission, you will need a partner Pokémon and a weapon with which to defend yourself with. While the game will not be hyper-technical and hunker down on stats and the like, Pokémon will still be limited to only four moves each.

	As the players will be fighting alongside their Pokémon during battle, I also had to make a way for things to be roughly translated during a fight between humans and Pokémon. Thus, I have come up with a few classes to sort player characters into, as well as a number of Pokémon moves that translate into things that members of such classes should be able to do. Lastly, each class has been assigned a Pokémon typing to give players an idea of what areas a class will excel in, as well as things that would hinder them more.

	While I do not expect players to go to the trouble of using a damage calculator during battle (as that is a bit too high-maintenance for my tastes), I do hope that you would take into account the fact of your respective type matchups. Some degree of anime shenanigans (also known as "rule of cool") will be allowed. Just do try to keep things within reason.

	As I fully understand that people have jobs or school, and thus time is sometimes limited, I am not overly concerned with the frequency of posts. It would be nice if we could get each person to post once weekly, but this won't be a necessity (if every other week is your limit, then so it is). My request is that if you have the ability to post more frequently than others, that you at least offer the courtesy of giving them a chance, if possible.[hr][hr][b][url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1b616yPP-JspAKJ0Lnxhbg7_M6hmrC7Qyy_njgHn5A2k/edit?usp=sharing]List of Kanto's Pokémon[/url][/b]

Proud son of Mizuno Yu, a revered samurai. Takes his duty very seriously, and is able to hold his own in single combat against a variety of foes.

However, she tends to be quite visible and unhidden, and as a result, her employment is on thin ice. Her partner is Koritsume the Sneasel (who she frequently calls "Kori-chan"), whose moveset contains Ice Shard, Metal Claw, Fury Swipes, and Double Team. Koritsume is known to take Atsuko's employment more seriously than she does.[/hider]

[hider=Saffron Village]
[center][img]https://assets.3dtotal.com/peter-dimitrov-00-animal-shrine-peter-dimitrov.kb8z2o.expanded.q2o.jpg[/img][/center]
The central point of Shogun Fuji’s command and the largest settlement in Kanto. Saffron is surrounded on all sides by log barricades with one gate opening to each of the cardinal directions. At least two guardsmen are posted at each gate at all times, ensuring nothing hostile threatens the safety of the village. In addition, patrols watch over the dirt-and-cobblestone roads to prevent violence within the walls.

	Citizens of Saffron generally live calm lives. Farmers sell crops, merchants barter off rare items from beyond the walls, and artisans practice their craft. At least one local fortune teller named Severn provides eerily accurate predictions for those brave enough to learn what their futures may hold. Meanwhile, Kenichi–a master of martial arts–runs a dojo where he teaches others to defend themselves and gifts such pupils with a Pokemon to serve as additional protection.[/hider][/hider]
[hider=Class Data]
Each Class is provided with a move pool that describes what they are capable of reproducing in battle. A person is not limited in move options in the same way that a Pokémon is, so within the same fight, a person could potentially recreate all of the moves within this pool, provided they have the appropriate equipment and training. These move pools also do not start and end with these given lists. If you have an idea for recreating a move that is not included in your list, please just let me know what that move is and how you are duplicating it ahead of time. So long as it sounds even remotely logical (by some form of anime logic, anyway), I'll likely allow it.

Additionally, a person may teach an appropriate Pokémon how to use one of the moves said person can reproduce, akin to using a Move Tutor or TM in-game. Again, this should be performed within reason. A Bulbasaur, for instance, likely won't be learning Flamethrower. Ultimately, if you have any questions, please ask.

You report to Shogun Fuji and his Daimyos. You are a contracted warrior expected to follow a strict code and carry your orders perfectly. Failure in your duty will result in being stripped of your post, and being appointed to the post of Ronin.

You are born to fight, much like the Samurai, but are not contractually bound to a single lord. Instead, you offer your skills wherever you deem worthy. People either generally respect or fear a Ronin, depending on how the Ronin carries themselves.

Your fighting style is wild and unpredictable, but effective at felling your foes. The drawback is that this frequently causes your allies to keep their distance, as such a fighting style endangers them as well. However, so long as there's a nice drink at the end of the day, you probably don't mind being distrusted.

[indent]About two or three paragraphs is all that should be needed. If you want to do more, feel free. If you want to do just a paragraph for now, that's also fine, but less now means I will expect some additional details to be added later on. Also, your journey will begin in Saffron Village, and you should have some reason for working toward the greater Shogunate rather than toward the goals of one of the individual Clans. However, you may have origins among one of the more biased Clans, so long as you can end up in the opening setting along with everyone else.
