Pokémon Trainer RP in an Original Region

I'm glad to see you two are interested already. We'll probably need a few more to have a fun group RP, so stay subscribed and we'll see how many more would like to join ^_^

Pokémon Trainer RP in an Original Region

I have a Pokémon Region that I use for my fanfics. This interest check is to see if anyone wants to play in my region and try either the contest or the league they have.

The region is a group of five island, four of the islands have a gym and a contest hall, both themed around one of the four elements (earth, air, water and fire), the last island is where the league will be held.
There is a catch to the league. While you may use any Pokémon you want in the gyms, in the League you may only use a Pokémon with a ground, flying, water or fire type (dual types are allowed). As for the contests, every hall has a theme of an element and attacks should represent that, but in the big finale on the last island you should also use Pokémon of the correct type.

The RP will allow people to have their own adventures; you may do the league, you may do contests, you may do both or you may do neither. I as GM will have NPC's to make quests, assist players and play the gym leaders, who double as contest judges.
If people want a Pokémon Academy RP, that is possible too as one of the islands has an academy where beginning trainers can take classes, I have 2 professor NPC's who can teach.

So, plenty of options :) anyone wants to play on my islands?

Sonomi

Sonomi

28 | Female | 12 kg | 0.98 m | Treejumpers

Species

Treejumpers are a human/squirrel hybrid, they have ears on top of their head, but a human-like face. The colour of their fur can have any shade from red to orange or brown. The fur covers most of their body, only their hands, feet, face, and chest up to the bellybutton are covered in pinkish or brownish skin.
They usually don't wear clothes, only when it's too cold will they cover their exposed skin with clothes woven from plant fibers. Most Treejumpers paint lines or symbols on their skin as a fashion statement.
They are a small, but agile species, known to climb in trees and able to jump great lengths. Their fluffy tails are used as balance and to keep themselves or their young warm. They live in wooden cities they build in the trees.
The males tend to be stronger and more muscular around their shoulders and upper torso, whereas females have a higher agility and speed and have stronger legs.
The females give birth and nurse their offspring until the first year of their life, then the males take over the care and educate them.
When the females aren’t taking care of their offspring, they are the ones to scout the territory and gather food. The males stay in their cities, to guard their home and the children against intruders, and to build and repair the buildings and the furniture they use.

Description

A curious Treejumper with a love for exploration.

Appearance

Sonomi has a dark-orange fur and a light pinkish-shade skin. Her fluffy tail is almost as tall as her body and has a white tip; the tip of her ears is also white. With a paste made from red berries and resin she colours her lips and paints small stars on her belly.

Personality

Sonomi is a playful and curious Treejumper. Like most female Treejumpers she goes out in the grove to gather food. Her curiosity often leads her on explorations, sometimes finding new places with food, sometimes running into predators. She wants to explore the grove, get to know every tree and every bush. And, although she doesn’t say it out loud, explore that what lies beyond the grove.

Bio

Sonomi has given birth three times and she is proud of her two sons and daughter. Like all Treejumper families, it’s her partner Jumeyo who takes care of their children while she is in the grove.
Even though she loves the forest, with all the trees she can climb and the freedom she experiences that moment in the air when she jumps between them, she wants to see what else is there.
As a child she used to sit with her grandfather, who told her forbidden stories of a time before the grove, and how the first Treejumpers lived in nests they had built in the branches of the trees, barely able to shelter themselves from rain and wind. He told her what he knew about ‘civilisation’, before the grove had destroyed it. She always loved the stories, but surely they were just that. Just simple fairytales about stone cities and furless beings, who destroyed the world around them to expand. Such places could never have existed, the grove was eternal; it always there and would be always there. It was hard for the young Treejumper to image a place that wasn’t the grove, but it had sparked her curiosity to find such a place.
Years later the word of the abduction reached her; the daughter of the great fairy held captive by an evil force. At first she decided she wouldn’t go on this quest, leaving the comfort of the trees of the eternal grove scared her. But her curiosity to learn what was out there overtook her fear and she promised the great fairy to find her daughter for her and bring her back when the first group didn’t succeed.

Magic

The magic of Treejumpers is taken from the living plants around them, and used for them. They can heal plants or increase the speed of their growth; the strongest can even move the plants and use them how they want: using vines as whips, letting branches weave together to form a wall, using ivy to entangle predators or enemies...
Sonomi isn’t the strongest and is far from making walls from living plants, but she has learned to make ivy curl around someone’s leg.

Character contest #3: Grove

My character form is complete, tomorrow I'll read it over a final time, probably edit bits and pieces, and submit.

Although I have to say I'm not entirely sure what the difference between Description and Appearance is. First I wanted to make a short character description, but it looked more of something that would go under appearance, so I used the description to describe the species and the appearance to describe the charater is. I hope I did it right.

@Mahz

I'm not a fan of the statusupdatesd being used as chat, sometimes it's just people commenting to each other for a while. Maybe there could be an option to reply/comment directly to a status, instead of people having to make their own status to reply to something. The comments could be expanded if people want to read them, but be hidden by default in the recent status bar.
The should be able to be deleted by a mod or creator of the original status that is being replied to, showing 'deleted comment', so any hateful comments on the status update won't remain visible.
Also, maybe you could add a bar under the facebook group for the discord chat, people might notice it better there and start using that more for chats. Plus, it keeps all the social media together.

I've seen other suggest re-arranging the forums and I'm for moving the Persistent World under the Roleplaying section or as a subcategory of the Roleplaying section.
Under the Roleplays could be the category for the things that are still related to roleplays and creativity in general, like the general roleplay discussion, character sheets, articles and guides, but also the gallery and the writing contests.
And under that the off-topic section for off-topic discussion, the spam forum, etc.

Edit: I also saw the suggestion for a 'smut' tag for the mature roleplay forum. That's not a bad idea.

Maybe a seperate 18+ section could be added too, one that would only be hidden for people who aren't 18 or who aren't logged into the site. There would have to be a date of birth added to the registration form for that.

Character contest #3: Grove

@BrokenPromise But they have to be part human / a fusion right? No unicorns and dragons and such.

Character contest #3: Grove

Fantasy is my thing, I'll definitely submit something.

So there are no humans, just the mythical humanoids. How about other mythical creatures, based in lizards, horses, are they a part of this grove? And are original mythical creatures allowed or should we stick to the known mythical creatures?

Character Contest #2: Junk Yard

Yes, sorry, I had nothing for this.
World of magic sounds like fun though.

RPGC #22: Ode to Fury - Discussion

I don't think there will be a need to vote in this round, but @Gwynbleidd I have to say, I love the idea of telling the story through the entries in journals and the idea for the story you had is intriguing. I hope you will finish it one day, I'd love to read the full story.

RPGC: General Discussion

It was a fun contest, thanks for hosting it BrokenPromise.

Is anyone participating in RPGC 22?
I already mentioned in the discussion that I probably wouldn't submit something (still haven't been able to come up with anything), but the deadline is closing in and I haven't seen any entries yet.
