VeilsightSo I'm planning on having Gavin join one of the guilds in the Treasure/Allure Town area. I haven't decided which guild yet, but I'm guessing that him joining Wally's guild might make it harder for him to meet up/go on explorations with other characters? (Seeing as most of them seem to be in Arnold's guild?)

Bio
(Awesome Gible avatar made by Ridlins)
To-do List:
1. Write a bio
2. Celebrate for finally having written a bio
Hey, my name's Gavin. If you've seen the RP(s) I'm in, you'll know that I name most of my characters that, too. I'd like to say I do it to keep track of them easier or something, but it's really because I'm so bad at coming up with names that I just use my own. I tend to RP with a specific group of people, but if I find the time I'm not opposed to joining other RPs.
I got into roleplaying a while back from a stray Google search. It lead me to a website with a fanfiction written by multiple authors. (Don't judge me too harshly; that's really what I thought it was.) Eventually, I figured out what this "roleplay" concept was. It seemed like a fun idea, so I decided to track down the people who wrote what I had just read and join their current RP. Looking back on it, I'm amazed that my app was (eventually) accepted. I'm not exaggerating when I say that my roleplay/writing skills were absolutely horrible - I was lucky to be able to write a couple sentences per post. If any of you are reading this: thanks for putting up with it back then.
After that RP and its prequel ended, the group I was with moved to this website. I joined (or tried to join) a few of their RPs, but I kept losing interest along the way. There were times where I would get an idea and decide to work on an app, but those never lasted long enough for me to get back into RPing. I stopped making apps, and started checking in on people from time to time because I wanted to keep in contact with them. I eventually realized that it was kind of rude to keep posting on an RP I wasn't in, so I decided not to keep doing that. I checked back here less and less, until I eventually forgot about it.
Until earlier this year last year. A while ago, I remembered the old RPs I had been in and decided to write one of them into a book for myself. I pulled up the old website and started stitching the posts together in my own words into a continuous story, structured more like a book than an RP. I got about a hundred posts in, and that's when I realized that I wanted to RP again. I could tell it was different now; this time I wouldn't get bored halfway through making an app and give up. So, now I'm back. And I don't plan on leaving anytime soon, so you're all stuck with me.

After walking through the plains for a while, I glance back at Mount Dragoncoil for a moment and notice how small it seems from here. It’s strange seeing it from this perspective, given how I’ve lived so close to it all this time. I decide to sit down in the grass to enjoy a quick snack before moving on. Sitting my bag next to me, I unwrap an oran berry from the blue scarf inside my bag and begin munching on it. There’s a few seeds on the ground next to me that I pick up; I don't know what they do, but maybe they could be useful later on.
A Caterpie, which was hiding in the grass just to my left, looks up at me. “Hi.” I say to it, not sure what it wants. The Caterpie takes a step closer without breaking eye contact. I scoot myself and my bag to the right, but the Caterpie takes another step closer. It stands there like an evil, unblinking statue. “I-... Uhh...” I say, not sure how to respond to this. “Okay, well... It was nice... talking to you...” I get up and put my bag back around my shoulder. The Caterpie’s eyes widen a bit, but it otherwise remains unmoving. I turn towards the south and continue on my way.
A few moments later I look back to see the Caterpie in the exact same spot, still staring at me. I walk faster and try to ignore it. Curiosity gets the best of me as I glance back a few times. It’s still standing over there, staring into my soul. My speed-walk soon turns into a frantic run from what I’m sure can only be a demon in disguise. Just don't look back... Don't look back... Once I’m out of breath, I stop and let out a sigh of relief now that it’s nowhere to be seen.
I look around for any sort of marker I can use to get a bearing on my location. Mount Dragoncoil is over on the horizon there... The sun is rising in the east, so... The town must be this way! It turns out that memorizing all those maps in my free time really paid off. Of course, I don’t know what the town is called... Or what it looks like... But it’ll probably be fine. Learning about that stuff beforehand would spoil the fun of discovery, anyway. The smell of grass is soon accompanied by a salty breeze as I walk, meaning the ocean must be nearby. Just as I’m about to see if it's visible from here, I stop dead in my tracks and a chill runs down my spine. There’s a Caterpie - THE Caterpie, right in front of me.
It stares at me, unblinking. For the first time, I hear an unholy chittering sound emanate from its mouth. Wait a second, that came from behind me... Behind me is yet another Caterpie about five metres away, staring at me with its beady eyes. I turn back to the first, but now there’s two of them. There’s one over to my right - no, two - no, three. Wait, now there’s some on my left. Every time I look away, there's more! Oh, Arceus... I snatch the sharp stick out of my bag and get into a fighting stance, pointing it at the Caterpie surrounding me. “Stand back!" I say with a shaky voice, "I'm warning you! I've got a... a stick! And it's really pointy, too!” The Caterpie don’t respond.
There’s a small gap between them up in front of me to the right a bit. If I’m very lucky... “Aaaaahhhhhh!” I yell while making a mad dash towards them. I hit one with a Tackle while whacking another upside the head with the pointy stick. I try to jump over a third, but instead land on my face after getting hit by a String Shot. No, this can’t be happening... I haven’t been gone for two hours and I’m already going to get eaten by a bunch of Caterpie...
Just as I’ve lost all hope of survival, my new savior comes down from above! I’ve never seen anything so beautiful in my life! A Pidgey swoops down at a few of the ferocious bug Pokémon and uses its talons to drop them in a tree. 'Run! I'll hold off these vicious creatures!' It seems to be saying to me. Well, either that, or it's hungry. It swoops down once again and brings another to its nest in the tree. I stand up and start running just in time as the Caterpie release their secret weapon. A horrible stench emanates from their antennae - surely with the ability to kill anything that breathes it in. I continue running, silently thanking the Pidgey for its heroic actions.

Oh, that's who we're waiting on. Yeah, I was wondering if I might read through the entire thing before the next person posts.
Yep, currently almost 300 posts in (22.2%). It's a really good story, it feels like reading a book. Here's what I've got so far for the recap:
Honestly, someone should make this into a book.

Yeah, I saw in his app that his name was changed. Is it a different character now, or did he just change his name or something?
@KaBling
Oh, boy. I did NOT expect myself to go so in depth about it! This is about the first 2 and 1/2 pages of the rp, I don't think I'll write as in depth for the next sections if I want to get this done anytime soon.

So I'm reading the whole rp, and I can't decide between Kamina or Arnold as my favorite character. 
Spruce:
I just stood there and watched as Arnold climbed up to the top of the guild, and started to place gummis on the... thing... and had the hot sun start to melt and cook them. Who in the world cooks GUMMIS!? Ugh, and that's the guy I'm supposed to be listening to? I then notice some of the gummi goop ooze out of the pan and onto the guild's roof. Archie somehow sneaks up to me and shouts "Guildmaster Arnold Columbus what do you think you're DOING!?" that shout surprised me, but, what didn't surprise me was when Arnold answered "Archie... I'm just making some breakfast for myself, and it's too hot outside. You told me that I could do this once per summer, so, I'm doing this now." Archie didn't seem impressed.

@Gavin
Haha, YES! I love it, I wish I could draw like that! You even added him holding the pointy stick!
Would you mind if I put that as his picture in the appearances section of the app?
I glare at the Dragonair, more than slightly annoyed by this point.
"I've said it before, and I'll say it again." Danny repeats. "I heard from Terra, who heard from her husband, who was told by that Pokémon over there, that a Gible who looks just like you bought something from Bob and Ed's stall!"
"But I've never even traveled that far! How would I have bought anything all the way from Allure Town!?" I shout back.
"You tell me." Danny turns away, feeling betrayed by one of his best customers. I open my mouth to argue, but think twice. I sigh and storm out of the store. Back in Scale City's main square, I place my unspent 1000 Poké back in the bag and look around for anywhere else to buy food. Amanda is standing over at her shop discussing various fabrics with a customer, but nothing she sells is edible. Chad and Terra's hotel offers breakfast alongside one of their insanely overpriced rooms. Denise's guild only feeds its own guild members... The thought of walking into the guild, let alone asking to join, is nerve racking enough for me. It's at this moment that I realize the genius of owning the only food store in the city.
Scanning the buildings in town for a solution, my eyes fall onto a signpost. A signpost pointing me to one place I've been longing to go all my life. I walk over to it. 'Now leaving Scale City', it reads. "But I can't just leave..." I wonder, before looking back towards the town's busy centre. "Can I...?" Danny probably won't sell me anything for weeks, and Arceus knows I don't want to mooch off the food at my parents' house until then. All the maps I've memorized show towns nearby; towns that undoubtedly have different stores. The only thing that's really been stopping me from leaving is my own uncertainty...
I look to the sky, which is dominated by the intimidating peak of Mount Dragoncoil. A flock of Staravia glide overhead as a lone cloud slowly floats by. The sun is still just above the horizon... I think to myself. I might have just enough time to make it to another town and back before nightfall... Returning to my house to gather the necessary items for the journey, I still can't believe I'm going through with it. Seriously, I must've gone insane from rotten berries or something. The remaining food from my house is wrapped in a blue scarf and gently placed into the bottom of my bag. In the bag's side pocket lay a sharp stick; one I make sure to never leave home without.
Though this isn't the first time for me, stepping out of Scale City feels different now. The familiar warm breeze wafting up from Sunswept Plains... The sounds of bird Pokémon in the distance... It all feels so much more... real. As though I'm finally experiencing the world as it really is - as it's meant to be experienced. Despite my heart racing, I tell myself that I'll return after visiting another town and buying food. I tell myself this will only be for one day.
Though deep down, I know that once I gets a taste for my sense of adventure, there’s no containing it.

I don't see anything wrong with it.
Wait, sorry, does that mean it's accepted and I can post?
