Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

Sorry, I'm still working on the opening post. Having a slight issue with my employer. I will do my best to have the opening post up tomorrow.

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

@Ceta de Cloyes

The options available to the player are to pretty much do whatever they wish. For instance, my character will most likely be attempting((And failing))to complete the Orre Colosseum League.

Other players can explore the Region, or sample the foods around the region. I'm even allowing players to create their own minor NPCs to interact with. It's going to be later on that the threat to Orre reveals itself but there will be hints of it in the gossip around the towns. It's up to you guys. If anyone has any questions, PM Me.

@AmpharosBoy

At first yes. Later on we're going to have different issues to deal with.

@Ambra

I'm going to be totally honest, I didn't really consider Larvitar a psuedolegend. It's just a Pokemon I like.

If you feel I've abused my GM power here, I apologize for giving you that impression. If you really want to use a Tyrunt I won't stop you from doing so. The only restriction I have towards players at the moment is having characters start with Pokemon like Metagross or Gyarados.

I apologize if I offended you.

We're full right now, but if anyone drops out I can send you a message inviting you to the RP :)

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

My Hider

Name: Drazen

Age: 18

Appearance:
Personality: Drazen is pretty laid back overall when not battling with his Pokemon. He tends to try and enjoy life to the fullest. He does tend to get in trouble once in a while however due to his somewhat rebellious attitude towards certain teal haired authority figures in his home region of Johto.

History: Drazen grew up in Blackthorn city in Johto to a single mother. His father decided that the family would be better off without him shortly after finding out he was going to be a father. His mother did her best to provide a loving home for him as she did her best to cover her shifts at the Pokemart. Still, with a number of friends in Blackthorn helping out as best they could looking after the young man, Drazen was able to live a fairly normal life and grew up happy as could be. A few weekds before he was supposed to receive his first Pokemon he was taking a walk near the edge of Blackthorn City when he heard a distressed screeching sound coming from a nearby cavern. After grabbing a flashlight and running towards the cavern, he saw a small pale green Larvitar being roughly thrown out of the Cavern by a very angry Machoke. Despite being nearly scared speechless by the sight of the rampaging fighting type Pokemon, Drazen grabbed the injured Larvitar and bolted back towards Blackthorn City with the Machoke in hot pursuit. After several close calls and dodging various boulders and a Geodude being thrown at the two of them, they were met at the gates of Blackthorn by Clair, the Gym Leader who proceeded to release her Gyarados who sent the Machoke running with a Hyper Beam attack.

After confirming that the young man was alright and escorting Drazen to the Pokemon Center, Clair returned to the Gym and Drazen was left with the slowly recovering Larvitar. it took a few days for the ground type Pokemon to fully recover and it took three weeks for the two of them to form a bond with each other. When the time finally came for Drazen to choose his starter Pokemon, he instead chose to stick with the Larvitar he had rescued. At the age of fourteen, he finally left Blackthorn City and began traveling the various regions. His goal at first wasn't to beat the various Pokemon Champions or take down the Gym Leaders, but rather he wanted to sample the different foods. After a number of years of traveling and various encounters with different trainers and different Pokemon he ultimately decided to travel to the Orre Region and investigate the Orre Colosseum league.

Reason for traveling to Orre: investigate the Region and look into taking on the Orre Colosseum league

Starting Pokemon: Rubble

Notes:

Once I get my characters up I'll start up the IC :)

Thank you everyone for joining

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

@Ambra I'll have to think about that one. I can make one available later on in the story though

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

So whats the actual story going to be like? Are the players all hanging around training in the Colosseum or is it more traditional with a journey taking us across the region itself? I barely remember the Colosseum game, and I do remember XD pretty well, but I definitely recall them being very different from the usual style of pokemon adventures and I'm just checking to see what we're actually going to be doing here.

@Ceta de Cloyes

We are going to be traveling the region. It's going to be more traditional @Vexxed Vex approved. Welcome to Shadows of Orre

Hey, may I join?

@Ambra

Absolutely

Pokemon: Shadows of Orre

A character for your consideration:

The SlakKing of Phenac

"Haven't you heard the story of the Torkoal and the Scorbunny?"

---

=-NAME-=
Noel Jameson

=-AGE-=
15

=-APPEARANCE-=
Black Hair
Blue Eyes
5'11"
Thin, but decent physique.

=-PERSONALITY-=
Light-hearted and chill, Noel takes life one step at a time. Being the patient sort, he's quite helpful and an excellent teacher that doesn't irritate easily: Instead brushing aside failure and mistakes, seeing them as something to learn from instead of linger around and regret about. He often pulls quotes from books he's read, or references stories when he's making a point: Always trying to provide examples for why he's got a grasp on a situation.

This might make you see Noel as mature; And for his age, he probably is. But just as much as he has a tendency to quote books and look after others, he also likes to joke around and tease others on occasion to amuse himself. He doesn't mean any harm by it, though sometimes it can be misunderstood as such. Or just somewhat irritating, though those that know Noel well enough might understand that said irritating is part of numerous mindgames that make up his battling technique.

Noel isn't exactly what you'd call an active battler: He's very reactive, and where he slacks in physicality he makes up for in his mind, a strategist beyond dodging and attacking. His constant napping and rest is a form of meditation. A way to clear his mind and relax despite the lack of peace around him. Understanding the potential of sleep itself has lead him down a unique trainer path that might reveal a staggering amount of potential.

While he does gain benefits from resting, he only adapted this habit over a fight with constant stress due to his habit of taking responsibility. It's highly possible if he was to set out on his own and venture out of his usual life that he'd become more active; That's a theory that hasn't been tested by Noel himself just yet, however.

=-HISTORY-=
Noel has spent most of his life in Phenac City. His mother, a nurse at the local Pokemon Center. His father, a teacher at the Pre-Gym Academy. Both doing their duties for the city, it inspired him to grow into a support role for those around him: While he wasn't a doctor, he learned basic first-aid. While he wasn't a teacher, he did absorb the knowledge from his classes to teach to the youth around him. Known as a 'hero among the little folk' or a 'big brother' for the kids of Phenac, he spends his days napping in-between attempts at being productive.

While not a heavy battler, Noel did occasionally find himself facing off against another trainer in a conflict. It wasn't always for fun; It was sometimes someone his age trying to bully the younger children, or an out-of-town adult trying to cause trouble in his city. In times like these the competence of the young man and his Pokemon partner sky-rocketed; He didn't usually show much eagerness to battle, but with something at stake, it proved to be a very good motivator.

All of his efforts satisfy him and he does feel accomplished with his actions daily, but his constant insistence on continuing has driven him to be quite stressed and fatigued. At the rate he was going, he'd feel like an old man by the time he was a legitimate adult. And that wasn't healthy. Despite that being apparent, he pushed himself anyways, only occasionally eyeing a potential way to get away for awhile: He's needed a reason. Something to dedicate himself towards if he were to take a journey outside the city. And little did he kniw that such a reason was more urgent and close than he could have thought...

=-REASON FOR TRAVELING TO ORRE-=
Character is already a resident of the Orre region.
Noel has been contemplating a method for leaving Phenac for a few years, but never found himself a true purpose for leaving. As of the moment, his reasoning isn't too far beyond 'Vacation from home'. But he's vulnerable to being presented with a much more serious goal for his travels, if he encounters a reason to partake in such a thing. He serves as not much more than a traveling history book and on the road cooking/nursing aid currently for those he encounters.

=-OTHER-=
Battle! Vs Trainer Noel

The Little Dreamer, Komala

=-NICKNAME-=
Snooze

=-PERSONALTIY-=
Snooze spends all of his time asleep, quite literally: Constantly tossing, turning, and snoring. It doesn't acknowledge others unless it feels a bond towards them or feels threatened, the latter of which it takes action without remorse. Despite being asleep, it seems to have a connection with Noel where they seem to communicate. Especially when they're sleeping in the same location. While it doesn't often show that it can take note of what goes on outside it's own realm of sleep, it does occasionally show affection to it's trainer.

=-HISTORY-=
They say that Komala are terrible Pokemon for trainers to use. THey sleep from hatching to when they pass; Seemingly unaware of almost everything. But ever since Noel found the small Pokemon napping under a tree in Phenac, and he took a nap beside it, they began to instantly grow attached to one-another. It was captured as his first ever Pokemon, and while battling was something they tended to avoid, they began to show a certain prowess when working together that was impressive. They seem to hold a connection beyond normal, awake state. And for the last few years they've grown into not only excellent friends, but an amazing team.
