Bio

Roleplay Interests: Star Trek, Final Fantasy VII, Pokémon and FFXIV. Pretty much exclusively right now. Doctor Who if you can sell me on a plot idea. I am very hesitant to roleplay in an original world, because I enjoy fleshing out my characters, and a lot of times original worlds lack a lot of the information I need to effectively roleplay. I roleplay PG-13 scenarios. I'm 30 IRL, but mature themes just aren't my cup of tea in general. If you desire more, I’m open to conversation. I tend to avoid relationship-based RPs, though some of my characters are more prone to it than others. I have no control over Emet-Selch—he does what he wants.

Roleplay Style: For the most part, I can't RP a child. Which of course is entirely awkward for most Pokémon RPs, so on the whole I'd much prefer to RP a Pokémon instead of a Trainer. I also largely RP males, though I've been known to play other things. I'm also entirely fine RPing Canon characters of my preferred Fandoms, and I like to think I do a good job? You can expect two paragraphs minimum from me, pretty much universally, with no cap. Sometimes I won't shut up. That said, I try to write concise posts—meat and potatoes. Once upon a time I wrote in purple, but I really don't have time for that anymore. With certain partners I can do bursts of rapid-fire, but at that point my responses will shorten.

Contact Info: My reddit username is RhaqaZhwan. The best method of communication is probably Discord, and my tag is Ninian#3747. I have Steam which I'm always on, just because of auto-login lol. If you play FFXIV, I'm Rhaq'a Zhwan of Mateus, so if you're on the Crystal Datacenter, feel free to say hi!

Timezone: EST (GMT/UTC-5) On the weekends my sleeping schedule is very strange. Otherwise I'm up early and sleep early-ish. Unless it's bizarrely slow, I can't post at work, sorry!

Cravings: I want to play Emet-Selch from FFXIV so badly, willing to make compromises for this to work out. Romance or not, group or 1x1, I care little at this point! I'm happy to come up with a suitable plot and guide the story if necessary, I have a lot of ideas and I'm very flexible.

TL;DR INFO
  • likes Pokémon, Star Trek, Fire Emblem, FFVII, FFXIV, Hazbin Hotel, and a lot of other Fantasy/Sci-Fi nerd stuff.
  • 30 years old and counting, also married.
  • prefers PG-13 scenarios, but is open to discussion.
  • Romance is character-specific. I usually play aces.
  • Discord tag is Ninian#3747 (on the RPG Discord so you should be able to just message me).
  • posts frequently.
  • post quality tanks when RL aggros.
  • can and will play a million characters in an RP if necessary.
  • I don't ghost. If I can't continue RPing for some reason, I'll tell you. If I get really sick you might have to poke me on Discord.
  • I won’t get offended if you ghost. If you ever decide you want to RP again just poke me!

None on RPG currently.

Alodi the Delphox
[Altepa Desert]

@MankeyMankey
A cheerful smile spread across the Delphox's maw at Piper's positive reaction, a soft chuckle escaping his maw as he noticed how flustered she'd become. "Indeed, that is what I am proposing~" Putting a claw to his lip, he'd continue, "I cannot say I know where we'd be heading, mind you. I've heard some interesting rumors regarding Folio Town, as well as something large happening on the Mist Continent." Looking down to her, he'd wink once more before continuing, "And trust me, I'd never dream of stealing your spotlight~ Not like those others. Of course, I'm also not usually in the business of lifting, unless you'd consider finding treasures in dungeons such. Mind you, some do consider it such. Especially the articles I find myself interested in."

Raising a finger, he'd stop before looking back at the Skitty, "Speaking of treasures! I had found this a while back. Of course, I cannot do a thing with it. Perhaps you could make better use of it? I believe it may raise capabilities in a Pokémon who's compatible. At least that's what I found with a bit of divination."

Stopping dead in his tracks, he'd step in front of the Skitty with a wide grin, "With that, I present you...!" In a rather over exaggerated fashion, Alodi would pull a scarf-like item from his sleeve. "This!" In his hand, Alodi offered the White Silk to Piper with a grin.
Lilisette the Kirlia
[Folio Town - Trunk Entrance]

@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo
"Oh um! Sorry, I just... I got a bit excited. I didn't mean to tackle everyone..." Face flushing a bit, the Kirlia averted her gaze as the others spoke amongst themselves. I hope I didn't really hurt anyone... I need to be more careful...

Brick's voice brought Lilisette from her thoughts, and she blinked a bit confused, "Wait, you're coming with us? Don't... I mean, normally don't fresh exploration teams go off on their own? Or is that just um, the Water Continent? You really don't have to follow us, we'll be okay! Really!"

Alodi the Delphox
[Altepa Desert]

@MankeyMankey
Piper's reply warmed Alodi's heart, and he flashed a bright smile, "Wonderful! I'm positively glad to hear it~!"

As she continued, the mention of him having some sort of feelings for the Sibyl caused him to flush deeply, despite the fact she mentioned that it was a joke, "O-Oh, no, no! Nothing... Nothing like that, I assure you. The Sibyl is also far too occupied to maintain any sort of relationship—or so I've heard. In fact, only a chosen few have ever actually seen her."

Listening to Piper's stories, Alodi's brows furrowed with concern, however it was due to the wind, not the content of her words. Curious... it's entirely too early for a sandstorm, yet here it is, beginning. This does not bode well, soon... we'll be surrounded. There must be somewhere we can take shelter...

Smiling as wide as he could force himself to, he replied, "Ah! You must be from Yellow Sand Labyrinth, or at least somewhere near there. It's certainly an interesting place, I could not imagine living there however. As she began to discuss what she did for fun, he couldn't help but laugh, "You steal for fun? Well, that would certainly explain things. Truth be told, I'm surprised you haven't joined that rumored guild of thieves. Though I guess I shouldn't be giving you ideas, now should I?" Flashing her a wink he'd continue, "Anyway, yes... so many hostile Pokémon, far more than there should be, at any rate."

The subject was brought back to him, and he flashed a toothy grin, "Well, if you couldn't guess I'm a wanderer, I suppose. A traveling Magician—though that's mostly to pay for my wanderlust. What I do for fun is study ancient ruins, artifacts, anything of that sort. I also enjoy frequenting taverns and eavesdropping on gossip~ Strange happenings in the world around us. I then use that information to pick my next destination." Pausing, he held up a finger, looking to Piper, "Given you enjoy exploring as well, perhaps you'd like to come with me? It does get rather lonely."

Pyrrha the Gardevoir
[Glyph's Guild - Guild Member's Quarters]

@Light Lord
Raiden spoke of his village, causing Pyrrha to tilt her head in interest, "Oh...? Well, I'm certain she loved it. It's rather delicious. Do you normally make your own tea, then?" Pausing for a moment, her brows furrowed as she continued, "I never did ask, and of course you do not have to say, but... where are you from?"
Lovrina
Rara the Gardevoir, Mimi the Sylveon
[Orre - Aether Sanctuary Exterior]

@Shiny Keldeo@MankeyMankey
Turning around on a heel at the voice addressing her, Lovrina held up two fingers with a smile, "Yup! I so totally rocked bracket three!" Looking the girl and her Pokémon over for a moment, she smiled before looking down at one of the Love Balls around her waste. Taking one into her hand, she then threw it to the ground with a grin, "Come on out Mimi!"

In a flash of white light, a Sylveon materialized looking around with wide eyes, <So this is the Aether Sanctuary? Hmmm...>

Looking back to the blonde-haired girl, she continued, "So! I guess you're totally one of the other bracket winners, huh? I think there's supposed to be two more, I wonder where—" Spotting a newcomer, Lovrina gave an exaggerated wave back, "Hi! I guess you're one of the other winners! That's so cool, I bet you're super talented! There should so be one more... Oh well! We should totally find a way in there..." Pausing for a moment she stopped herself, "Oh, I totally didn't introduce myself. I'm Lovrina!"
??? and Ein

[Orre - ???]

"Oh! Ein, look! Can you so turn the volume up a bit? I can't hear what they're saying!" Rushing over towards a large flat-screen television, a pink-haired girl stared at it intently.

An annoyed groan was let out by the man working beside her. "I'm trying to concentrate. Unlike someone else in this room."

Letting out an aggravated huff, the female retorted, "Ugh! Why do you always have to be such a downer? Like you SO need to lighten up!" With brows furrowed with annoyance, she scurried around the room before locating the volume controller. Blasting the speakers up to max with a wide grin, she then sat right on the ground staring upwards.

"Would you turn that down...?"

The girl ignored him, focused upon the glowing screen. "...is holding a competition, with the grand prize being a rare Pokémon known as Type: Null." The girl's eyes were entranced by the chimeric Pokémon shown upon the screen. "Unlike most competitions, this one is being held on a Battle SIM! If you do not have access to your own simulator, Realgam Tower is coordinating with the Aether Foundation during the event. Check out aetherfoundation.com for more details! Now, on to the weather..."

Immediately hitting the mute button, the girl turned around to the man next to her. About to open her mouth, he interjected, "Yes. I heard. I take it you're interesting in participating in the competition?"

"I'm in love! Did you see it? It looks so tough! I've never seen a Pokémon so perfectly tough! I want it! I really, so need it! It's going to be XD002! I can feel it!"

Turning to look over the girl, the long-haired man narrowed his gaze, "XD002... That decision will be for the Grand Master. However, I will not stop you if you wish to participate. Mind you, you'll still need to win."

"What do you mean win!? Can't I just break into that Aether whatever and totally steal it?"

"Absolutely out of the question. We do not need attention drawn to us at this time."

"You're so mean! Fine! I'll so win that competition and totally get that Type: Null thing legitimately!" Putting her hands on her hips, the girl stormed out.

Several days have passed since the news broadcast. The tournament is nearing its conclusion.

[Orre - Realgam Tower - Battle SIM]

"Okay Milotic! You're going to have to make that ugly rock thing love you! Attract~" Holding up a peace sign, the girl commanded her simulated Pokémon.

[MILOTIC used ATTRACT! ALOLAN GOLEM is INFATUATED!] Hearts appeared around the Tender Pokémon as it began to work its charms on the opposing Alolan Golem.

Gritting their teeth, the opposing Trainer held out an arm, "Explosion! Take it down with you!"

However, nothing happened. Hearts could be seen in the simulated Rock-type's eyes. Moments later, it fell to a knee, taking crippling damage from poison it had been inflicted by previously.

"You so can do this! Okay! We can't let that thing hit you, so use Confuse Ray!"

[MILOTIC used CONFUSE RAY! ALOLAN GOLEM is CONFUSED!] A flash of light washed over the enfeebled Alolan Golem as it stumbled around. Its Trainer gave out a cry, "Ugh, we can't lose! Explosion!"

Taking a battle stance, the Rock-Electric Type appeared to be charging an attack, when suddenly it fell clumsily to the ground. In attempt to get back up, it was struck by the ticking damage, causing it to collapse in simulated agony.

Large letters appeared before the two participants, "Lovrina WINS!"

"I totally won! I knew I was the best! That means I'm totally one of the finalists! I so get to go to the final round at Aether Sanctuary! Twirling in a victory dance, the girl quickly made her exit.

A day after winning her bracket, Lovrina was invited on an all-expenses-paid trip to Aether Sanctuary along with three other talented Trainers. After a week's time, the Trainers made their way to the Sanctuary, located in the side of a mountain near Gateon Port.

[Orre - Aether Sanctuary Exterior]

"This is so exciting! I can't believe I'm really here! The building is so white, Ein would totally love it! Let's see, I can totally send a pic to him..." Pulling out her phone, she lifted the pink device into the air, taking a shot of the strange building that seemed to be embedded in the side of the large mountainside. "There! Aaaand, send!" Pushing the send button dramatically with a finger, she stared down at the message window, eagerly awaiting a response.

Would you please stop texting me every 30 seconds.

"He's so jealous. Oh well, let's see..." Stuffing her phone back into her pocket, she looked towards the building once more, only to realize she couldn't discern a way to actually enter. "Oh no! They so didn't mention anything like this in the e-mail... How am I supposed to get in?!"
Pokémon XD: Chasing Shadows

Premise


Five years after the second Shadow Incident, all seemed quiet. However, not all of CIPHER's admins were found upon Citadark Isle; it seemed Ardos had arranged an escape for himself. Greevil and Eldes admitted as much during questioning, but seemed unaware of his whereabouts.

Rumors in Pyrite Town have begun spreading like wildfire. Figures have been seen around an abandoned warehouse; a site housing an entryway thought to lead to The Under. After first Shadow incident, the town was buried as a precaution. However, there is talk about whether it remains inaccessible to this day.

CIPHER had recovered once before, what's stopping them from rising up again?

This page is under construction! TL;DR it's a Pokémon XD (Orre Region) RP set after Gale of Darkness. Probably not accepting applicants outside of pre-registered players, but who knows maybe I'll change my mind.

Players: @Shiny Keldeo@Light Lord@MankeyMankey
Alodi the Delphox
[Altepa Desert]

@MankeyMankey
With a bit of a spring in his step, the Delphox headed off into the vast desert. Looking over to his traveling companion, the Fire-type flashed a smile, "You're rather cheerful. I suppose that meal has lightened your spirits? It certainly has mine," winking, he'd continue, "Though I certainly would not turn down a feast whenever we reach Folio~ I wonder what it looks like! Ah... I've been all over the Sand Continent, but not once have I traveled there. It is a place shrouded in mystery. Despite that, I am aware of another Delphox that happens to reside there. She is referred to as the Sol Sibyl, and seemingly has mastered her prophetic abilities far more than I have. Not that I'm complaining, of course."

Further wading through the sand, Alodi slowed his steps as his ears heard a change in the wind. "Hmmm... it would seem the wind has picked up. I hope that doesn't bode ill for our journey. I believe Gerudo isn't much further, but..." Averting his gaze to the ground, he paused before glancing back to Piper. "Well! Let's not dwell on that for now. So then, tell me about yourself? What do you do for fun, how has life been thus far? Anything will do, whatever you'd like to talk about."

Pyrrha the Gardevoir
[Glyph's Guild - Guild Member's Quarters]

@Light Lord
As Raiden spoke, Pyrrha's gaze fell downcast as she considered her situation, and his recommendation. "I suppose you're right..." After taking a few moments, her gaze finally met his, "If you believe it will help those in Folio, then... well, I cannot refuse such aide."

Picking up once of the wooden cups, she placed it to her lips, taking a gentle sip, "Ah... this is delicious, thank you very much, Raiden. You're too sweet..."

Robel the Heliolisk
[Glyph's Guild - Guildmaster's Office]

@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo
While Glyph conversed with their guests, Robel slipped past, shooting a glance at them before making his out of the building. They're very close to having a grasp on the situation, but even then... they do not know. We have plenty of time to evacuate, and as soon as the damage is done, as soon as I defeat the Manifest, then all we need to do is fortify Folio to buy us some time...
Lilisette the Kirlia
[Folio Town - Trunk Entrance]

@Light Lord@Shiny Keldeo
"Um... yeah... I'm from the future...? and uh... I think I have amnesia? Maybe? It's really confusing. Anyway, I'll try really hard not to believe every thing I remember, but... it's hard not to..."

Wincing a bit as the Totodile embraced her, she let out a soft, nervous laugh, "Y-Yeah, I guess you're right..." As he continued, tears began to well up in her eyes, and she launched herself towards Devon, tackling him into the two girls nearby, "T-Thank... Thank you....!"

After what probably knocked everyone to the ground, Lilisette picked herself up, brushing off her skirt. Somewhat forcing a smile, she spoke up, "I feel better. We should probably get going... s-sorry for holding everyone up like that. I'm being silly..."

Alodi the Delphox
[Altepa Desert - Rabao Spring]

@MankeyMankey
Tilting his head somewhat, the Delphox gave the Skitty an inquisitive stare, "You... like hearing me talk...?" Taken aback and flustered by the casual compliment, he frantically attempted to regain his composure, "R-Right, well..." Taking Piper's wrapped up leftovers in hand, he then glanced over to his own bag, frowning somewhat. This seems a bit much to carry, hmmm....

Standing up with both of their meals in hand, he flashed a smile at Piper, "Unfortunately, I planned to travel light this journey. Silly me! It's not a problem; I'm sure I can purchase a satchel at the outpost."

One transaction later, Alodi has found himself with a large satchel bag!

Now donning a brown messenger bag slung over his shoulder, the Delphox was prepared. With both meals neatly tucked away, he turned towards his companion. "All right then, shall we~?"
Celes Elwyn
Celes' Party: Ranulf the Dragonite, Mist the Dratini
Devon's Party: Nasir the Zoroark, Ace the Starly

[Route 701]

@Shiny Keldeo@Light Lord
Devon mentioned the Starly, who proudly puffed up his chest, <It's been pretty good so far. I haven't seen them do anything bad. You look pretty bad. I would trust that girl if I were you. Humans are pretty useful.>

A soft groan escaped Nasir's lips as Ace explained his feelings. "Well... yes... I suppose he is right."

Gladion
Silvally: Grass Memory

[Vertigo City - Pokémon Center]

@Shiny Keldeo
The conversation between the two girls, and the one's doubts caused a small frown to cross the blonde's lips. Shaking it off a moment later, he replied, "I see." Glancing over towards the rampaging Rockruff, his gaze lingered for a moment before coming back to Luna, "It's something I would recommend for every Pokémon, no matter their stage of development."

Taking the Bounsweet's words into account, Silvally furrowed its brows, <She traveled such distance without a clear plan? Well, that's brave to be sure... it reminds me almost of Gladion's sister.> Looking up to his Trainer, he picked himself from the ground and nudged his pant-leg, <Well shall see if I can get him to demonstrate...> Once the boy's attention was on the chimera, Silvally started towards his hip satchel, undoing the magnetic button.

"You want to show them now? All right." Pulling out a few small flying discs from his hip satchel, he continued, "Well, as an example, this is an exercise I've developed for Silvally."

With a disc in hand, Gladion would let it loose. A moment later he'd fling another, and another, all at varying speeds, heights and distances.

Now in a sprint, Silvally launched itself towards a disc, swiping at it with a paw quickly before making its way towards the next disc. With another powerful leap, the chimera gave it a swift side kick with a hind leg before landing gracefully, sprinting towards another disc. This exercise would go on for a brief few more moments before Silvally successfully finished making contact with the flying discs. Once it finished, the pseudo-Grass type went around, gathering the disc-shaped gliding toys.
Celes Elwyn
Celes' Party: Ranulf the Dragonite, Mist the Dratini
Devon's Party: Nasir the Zoroark, Ace the Starly

[Route 701]

@Shiny Keldeo@Light Lord
Furrowing his brows at the conversation between the other Pokémon, Nasir made his way back towards Devon's side, lowering his voice as to not startle the Shinx further. "It seems this Shinx's mother was a Shiny variant. I would suspect she was hunted by poachers, leaving this as the result. It's little wonder that they do not trust us..."

Wiping tears from her eyes, Celes looked to the Dark-type, "Poachers...?"

"Indeed. There are some humans that hunt rare or valuable Pokémon, often selling them... It's why I was so cautious around humans for so long..."

Gladion
Silvally: Grass Memory

[Vertigo City - Pokémon Center]

@Shiny Keldeo
As Sierra finished her explanation, Gladion gave a nod, pulling out and then looking down at his cellphone, punching in the information she had given. "Hmmm. I know Silvally wants to, but the whole concept reminds me of..." Pausing his brows would furrow, "...that woman, so I probably won't do it. You should at least enter it though, Luna. Even if you don't place, the experience will be invaluable."

Looking over the group, Silvally noted that Flake was correct; they hadn't evolved yet. <So you haven't. Well, a bit of training would remedy that. Once Gladion locates a partner or two, we'll be doing a lot of strength, endurance and agility training. If your Trainer isn't familiar with such methods, it will prove useful.>

Finally, a soft smile crossed the blonde's lips as he continued speaking to the Alolan-born. "If you want, I can teach you the basics of strength or agility training. I'm not sure if they have the tools in this center for anything else, though... I'd have to look." Furrowing his brows, he'd think for a moment before continuing, "Once I'm done with that, I'll probably take a walk through Route 701 and see if anything catches my attention. You are both welcome to come with me."
Pyrrha the Gardevoir
[Glyph's Guild - Guild Member's Quarters]

@Light Lord
A small smile played across the Gardevoir's lips as Raiden mentioned he was able to stay, though it faded the moment he mentioned being unable to sleep. "O-Oh... I'm sorry to hear that..." Trailing off, her eyes would avert, and her expression growing increasingly worried.

As he continued, her eyes met his, "...well, don't worry about us. I know we look like mere dancers, but... you know, we're strong too. We can easily hold our own in any dungeon. In fact, we have to to... you know... travel as much and as far as we do... still, I... I want to dance? I understand there's danger, but... I just... I-I don't know..."

Nodding, glanced at the tube, a small smile playing across her lips, "Tea would be lovely. Thank you, Raiden. You're so very sweet..."
