Our Beloved Dreams of Sinnoh | Pokemon

@Ambra working on my CS at the moment, but before I finish is it okay to have a starter with a hidden ability? If not its not a big deal, just that the hidden ability for this Pokemon is a perfect fit for the character I have in mind.

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

He's a false Paleblood Hunter. I've updated the profile with the correct wording.

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

Joseph Bauer

Joseph Bauer

Race: False Paleblood Hunter

Age: 23

Height: 5’11”
Weight: 121lbs

Clothes: Joseph is dressed in the shabby, worn clothing of a Yharnam local, for that is what he is; or was, before tonight. His outfit consists of a dingy white shirt under a waistcoat, a pair of rough spun grey trousers and a serviceable pair of boots.

Backstory: Joseph was not born in Yharnam, instead growing up in a foreign neighbour with his father Johann and his older brother Jonathan; his mother died when he was still young, young enough that he barely remembers the woman, from a disease that the local doctors had been unable to diagnose. About fifteen years ago his brother came down with the same illness, seemingly less severe but with the same symptoms as those his mother had had at first. In response, unwilling to lose another family member to sickness, his father took the two boys to Yharnam to seek out the curative properties of blood ministration from the Healing Church.

As expected Jonathan made a miraculous recovery and in the process became a true Yharnamite. Rather than return to their home country the family stayed in Yharnam, making the strange and foreboding city their new home.

Many years later, Jonathan fell ill again. The same disease as before, returning again and attacking more aggressively than ever; his health deteriorated quickly and while the Church were again able to save his life the amount of blood required to do so left its mark on the young man. He returned from the treatments a changed man, more aggressive and quick to anger, not to mention paranoid at times even of his own family.

Five years ago, on the night of the blood moon, Johann was stuck away from home as night fell and his two sons were left at home alone. After a few hours he still had not returned and all Joseph and Jonathan could do was wait until dawn and hope for the best; listening as beasts prowled the streets and Yharnamites roamed the city in packs. Both dangerous in their own ways.

Eventually Jonathan grew impatient and restless, both traits he hadn’t possessed until his blood treatments at the Church, and he left to go find their father. Joseph tried to follow, but his brother barred his way and told him to stay, to wait for their father in case he returned and found them both missing. Jonathan left with nothing but a lantern to protect him while Joseph stayed home, barricaded the doors and prayed that he had enough incense to last the long night of the hunt.

He survived the night, but his family was torn apart. His father’s body was found in the street a few hundred meters from their house, torn apart by something, while his brother was never found. Even five years later he doesn’t know what become of Jonathan; though the fact that he died on that night is a near certainty, Joseph can’t help but hope he’s still alive.

If he is then Joseph might not ever get the chance to find out; he’s been feeling a little under the weather recently and it’s not getting any better. He’s been reluctant to pay a visit to the Healing Church after what became of his brother, but surely being changed by the blood has to be better than death, right?

A Gym Challenge-styled Pokemon RP~

So this is a Galar-style Gym Challenge but taking place in another region? I'll add my interest here.

Pokemon: Festival of Steel and Fate

Yes, besides actual attacks that do damage, you can use buffing and debuffing moves as well

@Rex

Those aren't moves. I'm talking about the abilities that Pokemon have that are either passive or activate automatically, things like Swift Swim doubling speed in the rain or Truant meaning the Pokemon skips every other turn or Insomnia making them immune to being put to sleep.

Should we include those with our teams or not?

Pokemon: Festival of Steel and Fate

@Rex Are we using Pokemon abilities or not? I mean things like Guts or Swift Swim.

I'm stating my interest by the way. I've been hoping there would be more Pokemon RPs with the new games out.

Pokemon: Festival of Steel and Fate

@Rex Just to clarify, when you say "fully evolved Pokemon" you're referring to third stage Pokemon only? So a Charizard is fully evolved, but a Steelix isn't despite them both being the final stage evolution for that Pokemon? And Pokemon that have baby forms don't count, so an Electivire doesn't count as fully evolved even though it's both a final evolution and a third stage Pokemon?

Seems like a weird way of doing things, but alright. However, in the character sheet you say only 3 fully evolved Pokemon are allowed, but in the rules you say 2; which is it?

Do we have to have a Legendary/Mythic Pokemon, or can we choose not to?

Dynamaxing isn't allowed, but can we use Pokemon from the new games?

Night of the Hunt - a Bloodborne RP

I always assumed that the Celestial Emissary was something created by the Church to allow them to make contact with the stars; the successful end result of Maria's experiments which also produced the Living Failures, things that resemble twisted versions of the Emissary itself. It's name can be taken one of two ways, either its an Emissary from the cosmos or its an Emissary to the cosmos, and I always assumed the latter; we know that the Healing Church made attempts to make contact with the cosmos, which failed as per the description of A Call Beyond, and we know that they were trying to create something in the Research Hall that also failed but which resulted in the patients with enlarged heads and the Living Failures. I think the Celestial Emissary is what they were trying to create and I think they were trying to make contact with the other Great Ones.

The fact that you get the Make Contact gesture from the Orphanage near where you fight the Emissary and the fact you can use this gesture on the Brain, a Great One, kind of supports this.

As for Great Ones not being able to die outside of a dream? How does Kos fit into that?
