Pokémon Mystery Dungeons: The Unsettling Future

Actually, Venge's going to be in the cave. I'm working on the post as we speak, and I'll leave it open-ended so that you can choose to interact with him or not, though I'd definitely recommend it.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeons: The Unsettling Future

Like I said, it's mostly for the character. Venge is somewhat based on the ironic idea of being a really exuberant fighter at heart but being unable to perform any attacks.

Thank you for acceptance, Hiro. I regret that due to traveling on the impending Spring Break I may post a lot less often over the coming week than I wanted. Still, I'll make every effort to give it my best.

oh you...

Did I miss some sort of rule? Blackbelt is a Pokemon item, after all. Slight boost to fighting-type moves and 'determination'. Chose it more for character than functionality. Hmm...do those items not exist in Mystery Dungeon?

Unlikely Heroes

The instant Adam felt tiny particles forming beneath his fingers on the steering wheel and sliding over its rubbery surface onto his lap, he realized the events of the early morning had not been some flu=induced hallucination and promptly pulled over. With no rest stop, convenience store, gas station, or other such luxury in sight, he was forced to stop his vehicle on the side of the highway, accompanied an irate beep sounding from another motorist who had been obliged to slow down as Adam did the same before pulling over. Luckily this particular stretch of road was rather remote, with only short stretches of grass and a bulwark of trees on either side. Now thoroughly at a halt, parking break engaged and all, Adam examined his hands again and found more irritating grains of sand. The same flowing chill from earlier crept over the hairs on Adam's neck. This was absolutely not right. Should he see a doctor? This seemed more like a job for a priest than a physician. His mind couldn't help but jump to conclusions, some ranging from decently plausible to downright science fiction. Was somebody playing a practical joke on him? Had he taken some sort of psychoactive drug? Was he going crazy, or had scientists somewhere, somehow, created some sort of serum that altered his body...to make sand? Was this God's doing?

As these questions plagued him, he initially failed to notice a slight but steady rise in the amount of sand falling from his hands. It wasn't until he shifted his legs and felt a swath of powder slide off him onto the floor that he realized that he had a problem. After carefully checking to make sure no oncoming traffic would callously flatten him, Adam shoved open the driver's-side door and stiffly, awkwardly made his exit. Over thirty years of driving and he still hadn't mastered getting out of a car...but there were more pressing concerns. Still dribbling sand, he meandered a short distance away from the road. The sand was now falling quickly enough to make a definite trail, with little mounds where he tried to stop. Adam's old nerves were beginning to tremble; he was nothing if not freaked out. He held his hands aloft in an almost reverential manner, trying to determine the source of the problem but still not sure if this was all some sort of dream. It certainly seemed real.

Suddenly, a huge blast of sound from the direction of the road startled him, and he whirled just in time to see an eighteen-wheeler thunder past. Neither Adam or his car were posing any sort of complication to the highway just now; maybe the truck driver just wanted to impress him. Dimly Adam remembered from his childhood a biker that lived in his neighborhood who would boisterously rev his engine whenever he passed a pedestrian. Worse still, it seemed that the egregious noise had given him a headache. He raised a hand (which was, mercifully, finally free of sand) to his forehead for a good rub, meant to mitigate the rising pain there in accordance with the gate-control theory of pain--the one thing he remembered from college psychology classes. While doing this, he noticed a rather large pile of sand at his feet, but that wasn't what caused him to freeze in utter disbelief; a little motorcycle made of sand rested on the pile. Adam recoiled and aimed a kick at the tiny bike, which -to his further shock- rolled backward of its own accord to avoid the strike. Suddenly fearful some sort of dark design was at play, Adam lashed out again, and this time the sand construct burped to life and raced away across the grass toward the highway, where it sped into the road and was promptly obliterated by a forest-green minivan. As the dust settled, Adam's lips moved up and down, but no sound came out. Then, with a speed bordering on hysteric, he jumped back into his own car and made his way onto the highway once more. He needed a doctor...or perhaps a priest. Whichever he found first would do.

Starting off near the mouth of that Beach Cave might work out well for the character I have in mind. Thanks for the info.

Venge

Appearance:
Name: Venge
Species: Wobuffet
Age/Level: 30
Abilities: Shadow Tag
Gender: Male
Moveset:
--Encore
--Counter
--Mirror Coat
--Destiny Bond
Personality: In a word, rash. Seemingly in contrast with himself, Venge is a gung-ho showoff, full of energy and enthusiasm. He is quick to anger but equally quick to forgive, and is a great companion. A quirk of his is a sort of theatricality to his words and actions—everything is exaggerated and emphasized, spoken and done with emotion and confidence, as if a film crew is everpresent to record every second of his life for eternity. Often at odds with his own nature and abilities, Venge knows he needs to become more cautious and patient (he is, after all, the Patient Pokemon) but a degree of pride and a disinclination for slowing down make him slow to learn and slower to change. He can also be quick to judge others and stick by first impressions, though it takes real effort to make him hold a grudge. For all his faults, though, he is totally honest and trustworthy. He wants to be a hero.
Birthplace: Unknown
Background: The true memories of Venge are yet to be made. While many Pokemon who claim to have been human have been around for some time, this Wobuffet is new to the scene. Everything from his past life, aside from a few dim images, are gone; he remembers fighting, struggling, winning...blood, sweat, pain, and triumph. All that, however is only memory; this soul's existence begins anew here.
Team Name: N/A
Team Rank: N/A
Items: Blackbelt
Other: Venge chose his own name, since he doesn't remember his original. The idea sprang both from 'vengeance' and 'revenge', which is pretty much all he can do in a fight. He both loves and hates the nickname 'Vengie'. He wears his blackbelt around his head like a bandanna.
Theme Song: What It Takes to Be a Hero Venge will occasionally, absent-mindedly hum this, as if it's a distant memory ingrained upon his psyche.

7.) Make sure when you are filling out your CS's, to delete everything that i had put in the () just so it would look cleaner.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeons: The Unsettling Future

Oh, fantastic! I've read the backstory and the current story and I've got a character in mind. If I post it and get accepted, how exactly would you suggest I begin? Waking up confused, perhaps? I'm not too familiar with Mystery Dungeon locations.

Unlikely Heroes

I'm going to have another post done in short order.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeons: The Unsettling Future

Looks like I've stumbled upon yet another great-looking roleplay I wished I had found earlier. I don't suppose it's too late to get involved?

Villains 'R' Us

Dangit, this looks like fun; villains are my favorite. Why is it I always find the great RPs just too late for me to get involved?

Beacon's Light: Rising - OOC (RWBY)

This roleplay looks like a ton of fun. i wish I had looked into it when I had the chance! I mean, I already independently created an RWBY OC and everything.
