♦Name♦
"My name is Bronwyn Wild, but I just go by Brynn. No need for the full name. I hate it, anyway."
♦Gender♦
"Is it that hard to tell? I'm a female, you uncultured swine."
♦Age♦
"21-years of age."
♦Other♦
"I've got combat skills. Grimm and I both train, it's not just on him when it comes to protection between us. I can fight."
♦Personality♦
"I guess you could say I'm your typical loner. Kind of a rebel, as well, honestly. Not the hard-core types, but one all the same. I care deeply, and love purely. Throughout the years of hardships I've faced, I manage to keep a soft spirit and a kind heart. I'm a fighter. I stand up for what's right in the world. Not much that's right about it, now, but.. I don't give up. Nor am I easily intimidated by the Regime, or anyone else. Stubborn, hard-headed, strong-willed.. whatever you may call it. All of the above, I guess. I don't give up easy, that's for sure. I doubt you'll find another girl quite like me."
♦Background♦
"I lost my mother when I was young, and my father. Well, he was never around back in the day, but out of the blue decided to pop back into my life. Come to find out, my father is a high ranking Regime Officer. Makes me hate him even more. I've pretty much been on my own since I was 12-years-old. Luckily when I was 14, nearly 15, I found Grimm. Since then, he and I have thrived pretty well.. for a couple of orphans, anyway. We've stayed out of the Regime's eye for the most part, up until my father mysteriously found us. We only take what we need but we always give back - except for Grimm's pokeball. I'm not giving that back, obviously. I found it on the road, where it must have fallen out of a Regime transport truck."
♦Pokemon♦
"On Regime books, I've got my female Vulpix, named 'V'. What they don't know, is I've also got a second Pokemon. A male Cubone I've named Grimm."
♦Pokemon Background♦
"My Cubone, Grimm has been with me 6, almost 7 years. Grimm and I were truly meant for one another. I lost my mother when I was just 11-years-old, on the brink of turning 12, to liver failure. Come to find out later, she was a heavy alcoholic. Anyway, I was out in the woods moping around while attempting to gather some firewood before dark when I, quite literally, stumbled upon a small Pokemon. I picked up the logs I'd dropped in the process to turn back to the Pokemon to find it was crying, sitting up against a bush. Leaves, branches and scuff marks covered the ground, ugly scars left on tree trunks that now oozed it's lifeblood _sap.... The poor Pokemon had tear stains running through the dirt layer on his face mask. His crying grew louder from the moment I gazed his way. I felt sorry for him. I'd heard stories of the Cubone Pokemon, and thinking back on them now, I could relate to it. I got down on one knee, setting aside my scrawny logs to free my hands so I could pull out the bandanna from my back pocket. With it, I held up my hand to show him I had no weapon and I meant no harm. The Cubone's crying stopped almost instantly and he watched me with weary eyes, probably not sure what to do in the moment. Let me in, or run. I'd have chosen the latter if I was him, I wouldn't have blamed him. With a cautious hand, I wiped his mask clean of both tears and dirt. I picked up his club and held it out to him as I murmured, "My mother's gone, too. You'll see yours again, one day." I got up once he took his club back, gathering my things and leaving. To my surprise, a few minutes up the road the very same Cubone was in my path, staring me down with a kind smile. He had to have cut through the forest to beat me there, but there he stood. The Cubone followed me all the way home, and ever has followed me every step of the way since. I am his, and Grimm is mine.
How I came across Vee is, well. It's a different story, I'll tell you that. When my father, Rhaeger Cross ^{the Regime Officer} reappeared in my life, he taught me quite a bit about how to avoid the Regime and how to properly train my pokemon. Honestly, that's the only thing I'm grateful about him giving me, besides V. Before parting ways, my father handed me a deep red Cherish Ball and told me it was a gift from my mother. I released the pokemon to find a small Vulpix with five tails, hence the name V. Roman numeral for five. Had it not been sent by my mother, I'd have given it back. V remains the only pokemon in my possession on Regime records, thanks to my father.
The relationship I have with V isn't as strong as the one I have with Grimm, but each shares mutual respect between trainer and pokemon. I've run into trainers who treat their pokemon much like the Regime do to their 'service pokemon'. Master and Servant. It's disgusting. Pokemon deserve to be treated better. They're much like us. On the run, afraid and alone. Why shouldn't they be treated the same as we'd treat another human being?"
♦Appearance♦
"I have dark brown eyes and the hair to match them. My hair length extends down to my chest and remains straight until it gets humid, then it gets a bit of a wavy curl going on. Standing straight, I peak at about 5'10" and weight approximately 145lbs. Slim, athletic build."

@DarthSeverus394
Can I have a arcanine and alakazam or at least their previous evolutions?

[Shiny Keldeo]

Wasn't so keen on the genre when I first saw it, but I'm starting to branch out on the concepts around Pokemon and such. I'm wondering if it would be at all possible to be partnered with the very Pokemon that is my Avatar, doesn't have to be Shiny though.

[TheUnknowable]

I'm thinking of creating a character whose father used to be a trainer but was killed by the regime when they came to take his pokemon. My mom would have a pokemon that he gave her but no one else knew about, and she would give it to me.

a quick question, though: could you store an egg for a decade or more, or would you need to hatch it, then catch it?

[The Grey Dust]

@Shiny Keldeo

Alternatively, you should consider playing a strong independent Pokemon who don't need no trainer.

[Whimsley]

@fer1323 @Shiny Keldeo

So I can't speak for the GM, but I believe one needs to start from the ground up. So fer, you would start with a Growlithe and an Abra if you wanted those two pokémon in the future.

As to Keldeo, I don't believe legendaries are allowed, but it would be awesome in my opinion to have someone in charge of pokémon encounters or something like that.

[Shiny Keldeo]

@Whimsley If I could, it wouldn't be my captured Pokemon. More like a bonded friend. Or I might go with Grey's idea and possibly play the Pokemon myself. Idk, it's all up to the GM.

[Bigg Slamm]

@A Tattooed Girl that's creepy, i almost went with a cubone and a similar background. Sort of glad i thought otherwise.

[Ganelon]

Do I have the distinction of having a reserved slot for this, or were you referring to someone else when you said that, Severus? If I'm already tentatively "in", I'll try to put a rush on getting a character sheet and intro post up, although I'm still running through a bunch of very different ideas and there are definitely a few questions I'll have to get answers to before I really start.

[TheUnknowable]

@Overlord24What gender is your Umbreon? I was planning on having an Eevee that becomes a Jolteon later and was thinking of making it the opposite just in case we want to introduce them later.

[TheUnknowable]

my character

Name: Kale Fields

Description:

Age: 18

Personality: Reckless and full of anger, he loves to fight. He used to get in fights at school, and has a minor police record for destruction of property and assault.

Background: He was growing up as a normal child, his mother a nurse and his father a professional pokemon trainer, when the growing regime came to the gym where his father trained to claim his father's pokemon. His father fought back and, in the end, the regime's pokemon killed him.
Without a father, and angry about his father's death, he began to act out. His mother was unable to get him to behave, partly because she was unable to spend enough time with him due to her now having spend extra time at work to support herself and her son, and he started committing crimes to get her attention.
On his eighteenth birthday, days after he was released from jail after slitting the tires of a neighbor's car, his mom told him that she had a gift for him, from his father. She took him into the basement and moved some boxes, eventually pulling out a pokeball. His father had hatched the egg from his Jolteon and caught the baby, an Eevee. He had planned on giving it to him for his tenth birthday, as his father had got his first pokemon at 10, but the regime killed him first. His mother had kept it stored there since that day out of fear that the regime would attack her if they found out about it. She knew Kale wouldn't care about the danger, though, and thought that maybe having a pokemon would teach him responsibility.
He set out shortly after that to live on his own, only taking out the young eevee to train it in secret, using a training manual his father also left him.

Pokemon: Eevee female

Pokemon Name/Nickname: Eve

Pokemon background: Hatched from an egg more than eight years earlier, it was intended as a birthday present for Kale, though out of fear of the regime it was left in the ball for eight years. It grew to resent humans, though, through its work with Kale it has learned to trust him. It hopes to one day live up to it's father's legacy as a prize fighter.

Other: Kale is an adapt street fighter and knows how to break into buildings if he needs to. He also carries a knife for when he needs to fight, often fighting dirty. Avery/Eve doesn't trust humans accept for Kale, who it's friends with.

@DarthSeverus394 Sorry to take so long to do the CS, but I became busy, and also had the dreaded "which picture should I use for my character?" and also the almost never ending Dark/Ghost decision. Doing the CS now though!

[Sapphic Pigeon]

@Bigg Slamm I was really stuck between a Cyndaquil and a Cubone, but I went with Cubone because I actually did lose my mother when I was younger, and it's story hits a little close to home. I've always loved Cubone. :)

[TheIrishJJ]

Name:
Christopher Hawkins

Description:
Chris is six foot seven. This means that the average fully grown American man (5'7") only comes up to his shoulders. He has pale skin, and black hair. His body is slightly slim and muscular.


Age:
20

Personality:
Just like his father, Chris has a short temper. However, he tries hard not to let this get the best of him. Chris is a very kind soul, but this is hidden behind a face that rarely shows his true emotions. He'll show happiness and sadness, etc, but it won't be as out-there as with other people. If he likes you, you'll definitely know it, and if he doesn't, you'll know that, too.

Background:
Chris is from a family of Regime sympathisers, living on a farm in Arkansas. His father trained him and his brothers to be strong, both mentally and physically. Due to this, he has a strong body, and is smart, too. Thankfully, he wasn't as misogynistic as his father and brothers, and he also doesn't believe that the Regime are the right rulers of America. When Chris was 15, he found a shiny Duskull, which was close to death, hiding in a cellar of a building that his family owned on the other side of the farm, and immediately bonded with it. He took it food and nursed it back to health. During this, he started to learn about looking after, and also breeding, pokemon, which he continued doing even after Duskull was healthy again. When he was 18, he ran away from home with his Duskull in order to help other pokemon, and he now wants to be a pokemon healer and breeder. He is now in New York to try and find rebels that he can help. He is also fascinated with dark and ghost type pokemon.

Pokemon name and nickname:
A male shiny Duskull, with no nickname.

Pokemon background:
Duskull was owned by a group of shiny pokemon collectors travelling through Arkansas. When the Regime saw that they had so many shiny pokemon, they captured the people and their pokemon. However, Duskull managed to escape by turning invisible, albeit with injuries, and got to Chris's family's farm. He then hid there until Chris found him.
