Bio

This is my second profile on here, and I have been Play-By-Post RPing for about nine years now. I do my best to see every RP to the end or at least let my character come to his/her own dramatic conclusion when I feel like signing off. Just like novel writing in real life, I tend to find myself on long hiatuses. Since writing is a great way to work out your brain, I try stay engaged as much as possible.

My favorite genres include futuristic worlds, mysteries, and super powers. Any mixture of these three elements will peek my interest.

so we're waiting on @CHammer or @white alice next yes?


That would be nice yes. But I'm going to post something later on today regardless.
@Balthazar007 Just made changes to Feyhollow Poke Mart, is that better?


The items themselves look good. Make sure to put a divider between your Technology items and your Nature items. Refer to the Item Registry to see where each each item lies in that regard.
I am interested in this, are you still accepting?? If so I can have a character sheet up sometime after work, just have to go through the deliciously extensive lore

@balthazar007


As long as you read the manual first, then you may join. I don't mind if you miss something here or there. We'll help you through it. Welcome aboard.

Hello guys and gals!

This morning I decided to make some serious improvements to the way items are handled. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I think things are more simple this way, and we benefit from that.

Please read over all the information in the OOC section regarding ITEMS. Also take note of the changes that had on the Organization type "Research & Development". And take note of the new organization that was added based on that.

PLEASE, if you have a location, please take the time to reorganize your Poke Mart to separate Technology items from Natural items. And be sure to clear all new items with me first before adding them to your Poke Mart.

ALSO, items that do not have a listed price, such as fossils, are NOT supposed to be available within Poke Marts. Please remove those if you have done so.

Also, take note that I added more information to daycares. This can be seen in the "Pokemon > Leveling Up" hider in the manual, as well as to the daycare building description in the "Location Information" hider located in the 0th IC post.

Thanks Everyone!
Organization



Name: Research & Development Division of Poke Corp.

Type: Research & Development

Mission Statement: The march of time goes on, and we must continue to advance along with it.

Organization History:
Poke Corp wouldn't be anything without it's Research and Development Division. This is where all the magic happens. This is where all of their products spawn from. The scientists that work here are top notch in their fields. The scientists in turn would be nothing without Pokemon trainers, whom bring back valuable information to study. You can find these high tech wonders in every state of the art Pokemon Lab.


Membership Requirements: Skilled trainers and above.

Rules and Regulations:



Innovation Department - Members

none yet

Natural Science Department - Members

none yet


@Balthazar007 Yep, Aether Foundation fits Florence pretty much perfectly, so I'd like her to stay part of that. If other people want to join, we'll figure out a way to make it possible.

Just brought Feyhollow over, hope everything's ok. Will try to add the other stuff tomorrow, when I've had some sleep.


Two things to fix once you get back.

1) In the hider labeled "Item Registry" (in the 0th OOC post) you will find all the items that have been created by Poke Corp thus far. Those are the only items that have been approved. At this time, the only way to add new items is through joining a "Research and Development Organization".

That may change here soon.

2) Locations no longer have missions.
@Zarkun@Darkmoon Angel@LuckyBlackCat@Dusksong

Alright peeps. I've taken the liberty of transposing all the old locations that were not created by any of you. Hint, at the top right of every post you can hit "Raw" to view everything in a person's post, including BBCode.

Should I bring over the Aether Foundation that was created by ToadRoaps? I'm mostly looking to @LuckyBlackCat on that question. You're the only one here whom had a character within that organization.

Alright. Enough writing for one night I suppose. :)
New Location



Location Type: Mostly Rural
Pokemon Types: Bug, Water, Ghost, Psychic, Dark, Poison, Rock, Grass,

Lore:
A relic of the past can be found only about twelve miles southwest of Feyhollow Town: Stillwater, an antiquated fishing village. Standing at the delta of a river said to originate in the Atana Mountain Range, and propagated in the marshland that covers the area between Stillwater and Feyhollow Forest, this town is a quiet, remote place with a culture all its own.

If one has a desire to live the simple life, Stillwater is the place. Free from big-city hubbub, it is an escape from the modern world. Here, people may fish, farm, or make goods to trade in order to live. Many find meaning in their work, and in their role in the community. It is a close-knit, personable place, where people treat one another with family. Outsiders may be regarded with suspicion, for Stillwater's people are used to being looked down on by those who consider themselves sophisticated, but it is not an unwelcoming place. In fact, it is an extremely popular stopover location for trainers on their journeyers seeking to experience different walks of life.

Outside the village, the unique shoreline provides a prime location for adventure. Various remote dwellings litter its versatile terrain, from tucked away in chasms to perched on the edge of cliffs. It is home to so many grottoes, tunnels, and secret places that many consider it to be a natural labyrinth. Tales abound of hauntings and surreptitious dealings, from ghost shipwrecks to rituals of dark magic in the seaside caves. A large variety of rare Pokemon can be found here as well.

The inhabitants of the village attribute Stillwater's peaceable, slow atmosphere to a legendary Pokemon of the moonlit night, said to bring good dreams to people who treat one another well and bestow cruel nightmares on evildoers. Pokemon researchers conclude that the area is frequented by either Lunaala or Darkrai. Some visitors to the town, however, claim that the interference of the mysterious Pokemon is not as good . The town's old and sick, on the precipice of death, invariably disappear in the night only to be found stretched out on the beach in the morning. Missing persons -and even ships- are more common here than anywhere else in the region. However, these doubts are never substantiated; naysayers seldom stay for long, and none who've awoken suddenly in the night as if from nightmares have ever wanted to return to Stillwater.






New Location

Zephyr Strip



Location type: Mostly Rural

Pokémon Types: Steel, Electric, Ground, Dark, Ghost, Grass, Normal, Fighting

Lore:

The Zephyr Strip lies to the west of Central City; the site is a large town built around a shopping center based in a long-abandoned electric train. The train has been renovated with new lighting, new reinforcements, and newly-refurbished interiors, with the outer paint job left untouched for that rustic feel. As it houses a shopping center, it is a popular tourist destination, not only for the shopping but for some of the folk tales of the potential haunting of the train itself. The train is situated inside of a train station laden with vines, though since the area is inhabited, there is often hedgework done to trim those vines down (courtesy of local services provided by the Zephyr Maintenance Company’s Bisharps and Pawniards). The shopping center houses a shop per car, and they are lined up and well-lit in an easily-organized fashion. From boutiques to restaurants to souvenir shops to bookstores, you’ll probably find it all in the Zephyr Strip.

Around the station is a bit of a ghost town; nothing but expansive plains as far as the eye can see (though if you follow the tracks, you’ll meet a place where they converge with a rail line heading to Central City), with high buttes and mesas extending into the sky. In the northeastern distance, the Atana Mountain Range is barely visible through the haze. There are several windmills set up around the station, most likely to provide an additional source of clean energy. The dry plains house a plethora of Ground, Normal, and Grass type Pokémon. The more inhabited areas, especially those under the roof of the station and the train, will see Steel, Electric, Dark, Fighting, and Normal Pokémon, though in the furthest recesses of the train and the station, there have been reports of ghost Pokémon skulking about.

While refurbishing the station, the workers unearthed an enormous statue of the titanic Regigigas, standing immobile in the deepest recesses of the station. Out of respect, they decided to leave the statue alone, and tourists would sometimes approach it and rub on the moss collecting on its legs for good luck. (Is it truly just a statue, or is it actually Regigigas itself? There's some debate in the town, but there is only one way to find out.)

Sometimes the power would flicker, and people who live around the Zephyr Strip attribute it to the mischief of Pokémon like Rotom and Electabuzz, whose interactions with power sources and electrical devices would lead many to conclude that this is so. Notably, this is treated as a sort of routine event for the locals. However, people have been reporting hearing strange noises from the train’s decrepit locomotive. Like… scraping? Some have even seen a dark, rubbery tentacle pass by the window once or twice. There are rumors that it’s a Pokémon not of this world, and that there are actually multiple in there. They insist that Deoxys couldn’t possibly be stuck in a train for that long, but others say that it certainly is not Deoxys.








New Location!

Adriana City



Location type: Metropolis

Pokémon Types: Electric, Water

Lore: Adriana City rests to the Far East of Central City, residing next to the coast. It is a popular city to both who reside and tourist as it has many shopping centers and is higher tech then most places. Self moving walkways, robotic assistants and trash cans that will assist in picking up any litter, elevators and escalators to travel different levels and so on. It's far large and can be easy to get lost in, luckily there are plenty of maps everywhere.

The city has three layers, the bottom being the more transit area for trains and cars as well as homes for the less fortunate, the middle having resorts, amusement parks, the warm sunny beach and the like as well as homes for common people, and the top having the shopping centers, wealthy business's and wealthy homes. A popular place to shop is at Azure Corp, where beautiful gems and jewelry are sold.

Downside is, quite a lot of things are a bit on the pricey side.

Pokemon often do not show themselves often around here, but they still live among the bustling city folk occasionally. Water Pokemon often play in the coast of the sea, some beach goers often able to spot them playing in the water. The electric Pokemon can often be found around the power plants, or the amusement park.
