Lol, that's fine. I'd just assumed it was because the order's usually you, Ridlins, then me.

I felt like I should post an update status, seeing as my last one was seven months ago. So here it is. Hi status bar.

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.

Oh, Terra and Chad! I didn't realize they were the ones who discovered it, thanks.
Oh, that's good to know. Thanks.
You know, this OOC gets way too quiet sometimes. I can't believe it's already been a month since I posted here.
Edit: @Lugia, What are the names of the explorers who discovered Scale City?

Oh boy, exams were over two days ago. Then I went on a cleaning spree.
Yeah I'll probably begin to try posting again by tomorrow, but I'm gonna need to warm up to using my PC again (literally have not touched it in over 8 weeks).
8 weeks!? That's a long time without a computer, but that's great that exams are over! It sounds like you had a more productive couple months than I have, I think a cleaning spree would be great right about now.
"Yeah, you think?" I replied to Magma, trying to block the Aron’s flailing attacks with my arms. I pulled my stick away as Magma's Ember came dangerously close to catching it on fire, then the Aron changed course to target him while screaming something about their rage. They were probably working as Hudson's backup. Battling was out of the question; their armor was too tough for my stick to scratch, and they came at us with such ferocity that I'd be worried making Magma fight alone. Even with Ember it would be difficult for him to get enough hits in before getting mauled, assuming Magma wasn’t working for Hudson, too...
Come to think of it, it seemed suspicious for Magma to have come just as Hudson teleported away. Getting away now might be my best option, but if I was wrong I’d hate to think what would happen with him going up against the Aron all by himself.
"Hey!" I yelled, hoping the maniac wouldn't leap at me again, "He's gone! Hudson's gone - he's probably leaving the forest right now with your money! You’re not gonna get paid if you don't go after him for it!"
I technically wasn’t lying, because Hudson would probably try and scam his hired help anyway. With luck, the Aron might hesitate long enough for Magma and I to get away. I glanced at Magma then at the dense plants nearby, hoping he'd get the message.

Yeah, I sort of got the impression that Lavul meant you to control Rebecca until life slowed down some. If Lavul will have time to post in a bit, though, then I'm okay with waiting; I'd just assumed it was a "until I say otherwise" type of thing.
Just as Hudson was about to eat something, an oddly colored Salandit jumped through the bushes, shooting embers at him. It had a pink head and a lavender body, unlike the dull gray of most Salandit. Hudson lost a few coins in the confusion before vanishing as he ate a seed. I raised my stick in self-defense, expecting the Salandit to turn on me.
“Agh... We can’t let this stand!” The Salandit said, to my surprise, “Mister Gible, we have to find him, and fight him! That guy has all your stuff!”
A stunned expression had painted itself onto my face. I didn’t know what to say. Suddenly, there was a Salandit standing where Hudson had been only a moment ago, offering to help get my items back exactly as he had done. Apparently, the Salandit noticed they hadn’t introduced themselves yet.
“Uh... My name’s Magma... I’m from the Ashen Volcano, a fire-type mystery dungeon.”
He didn’t say if he was from a guild. Was that a good thing or a bad thing? Hudson had claimed to be from Allure Town’s guild, but at least this Pokémon wasn’t trying to convince me one way or another.
“I’m Gavin. I’m from... up north.” I replied, cautiously shaking his hand. He seemed a bit robotic about it, almost like it was foreign to him. “Are you offering to help me go after Hudson? Er - that Wurmple from a moment ago?”
I scarcely had time to finish my question before a war cry rang out through the trees. “Nyaaaaaaaagh!” An Aron ran towards us, throwing a handful of mud. It wore red war paint on its face an had a violent look in its eyes. I stumbled out of the way as it focused its attacks on the Salandit, giving me a chance to sneak around and steal a pecha berry from the bush. Instantly, warmth filled my body as my head stopped spinning. I felt as though I could take on the world, though that idea quickly dissipated when I looked back at the Aron. As intimidating as it was, I should still help the Salandit; it did seem like he tried to save me from Hudson. I ran towards the Aron and jabbed at it with my stick, hoping to give Magma an opening to attack.

Well, uh... we can still TRY, right?
You're right. I should probably stop planning stuff out like that now that there's more characters involved, lol.
He's gonna be an Aron.
My old character knew an Aron once!
Actually, I was just going to have Hudson get away. Gavin's got way too much of a happy-go-lucky attitude towards "adventuring", so this was to make him realize that there's actually a danger associated with it, and that exploring isn't just going around doing whatever you want with no repercussions. It's also because that gives him a good reason to join the guild. He's forced to find somewhere to stay in Treasure/Allure Town because it's so late in the day and he doesn't have enough supplies to get back.
