Many centuries ago the legendary pokemon of the world were not as they are today. No, long ago the great beings of the pokemon world lived side by side with mankind, unafraid and trusting of their intentions. Things were simpler back then. There were no evil machines out to catch pokemon and contain them for evil uses, no mechanisms to extract the power of the legendaries, only trust and companionship: the ideal.
In the land of Urael there lived a princess in a great castle. Her parents had left her in charge of her future kingdom so they could travel the world gaining knowledge of their fellow kings and queens of the lands. The princess held no fear for her parents' absence, for she had by her side a legendary companion who would protect her at all costs. As if that wasn't enough, her younger siblings were all about the castle and the royal guard wouldn't have let a joltik slip past them. The princess felt safe. For weeks she went about her duties, knowing full well what was expected of her. With the help of the legendaries that called the castle their home, the kingdom was peaceful and well sustained. All was well... or so it seemed.
One morning the princess saw through her window, a dark shadow seeping over the edge of the horizon. Though far in the distance and hardly noticeable at all, a terrible chill crept down her spine. She summoned a meeting with her brothers and sisters and the kingsguard. This shadow was an ominous sign, they all agreed, and while the king and queen were absent, it was the duty of the princess and those around her to find out the source of darkness and stop it, if need be.
Welcome Lovelies :)
+The Rundown+
We live in a time before pokeballs, before team rocket/plasma/magma/anything else, before pokedexes, before the legendaries became the elusive pokemon we all love to hunt down and catch. Instead, the legendaries help rule the lands with the kings and queens. I will be playing the role of the princess, Zokura. There will be the following slots available:
Siblings (Royal Family)
1.
2.
3.
Kings' Guard
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Now, the siblings are all younger than Zokura, even if by 10 months (busy queen eh?) Don't worry though, Zokura is 26 so we won't be playing children. The siblings may each choose a legendary from the list to have as their "companion" and the kings' guard will choose from a different list. If you really want one that's not on the lists, PM me. The guards are all well trained in whatever talent you choose, be it battling, stealth, stradegy, healing. Just choose one :) The siblings and Zokura will have their own talents of course, be they acrobats, scholars, alchemists, etc (being royalty they were raised to flourish in their talents.) We're going to start off by going out to investigate the dark shadow on the horizon. And that's how the adventure will begin :)
Pokemon "catching":
We won't be "catching" any pokemon, no. Things are much more chivalrous back in these days. You'll battle a pokemon and it will vow its loyalty to you until it has paid its debt or you offer it its leave. Your only permanent pokemon will be your legendary which will have sworn an oath to serve the land by serving you. No pokeballs, no pokedexes, no "sprays" for healing. It'll be a fun time.
