Insurgence | Medieval Pokemon RP

I'm kind of towards one big group, as opposed to splitting into two.

But, what is your opinion? Split up or one big group?

Excluding Twilight's characters, and my two characters who have yet to appear, we have 12 characters, if you wish for a gauge.

In groups of 2, we'll have six each

@Crow

In groups of 2? Did you mean 2 groups?

Having a smaller group will prevent people accidentally being ninja'd when it comes to posting, and would allow them to learn the other characters later. 12, as a party, with up to 24 Pokemon (give or take) is pretty huge. It's not really a quest, but a march.

I dunno. That's my opinion, but what about everyone else?

We could have a few people go along the east coast or some through the mountains between the two nations. The split would help reduce group size for a while and thus mean we aren't traveling as one big hoard (allowing more more problems to arise mid journey)

I only chose west for my character because she knows surf and her homeland is that way, making it easier for her to pass to the north.

The problem I heard about that movie was that there wasn't really any memorial scenes. I Haven't seen it myself but from seeing a critic's review he summed it up as just another action movie.

Fury Road was awesome. The more I look up about it, the more subtle details that I find about the story and people. It was just a movie that held so much depth and realism. The world is a harsh place and these people are just trying to survive.

suuuuuuuup

@Michellin

Not muuuuuuuuuuuuch ;)

How are youuuuuuuuuuu?

Character/Story Motivation (especially for Villains)

So this is a bit of a brainstorming topic to gather some ideas and help on how to create a good story motive, but something I tend to have trouble with is how to create an interesting and enjoyable villain with a motive that seems logical and real. Most of the time I tend to notice several of the cliché ideas (eg: I am a warlock, I am a psycho, I was tortured, I want to destroy the world, etc) but trying to place them into a story can be hard because the character either comes out 2 dimensional or they feel like they are forced to do bad things because of 'reasons' and they are meant to be the bad guy.

So the question is:
- How do I create a better villain that doesn't feel forced?
- What are some ideas for motives that can be used besides your standard 'take over the world' scenario?
- What sort of history should a villain have in order to drive them down the path of evil, rather than seek redemption?

EVERYTHING is slow

I just entered a new RP a few days ago, and we are on 34 IC posts in about 4 days.

I think it comes down to what area you're looking at in particular.

Insurgence | Medieval Pokemon RP

Jin wandered through the hallway following the crowd of people while hugging her Staryu. She had just previously heard the Emperor's speech before being invited to go outside to see the remainder of Gentry's Pokemon. She wondered about what the Emperor said and tried to make sense of his rather lacklustre speech.

"You shall find the very source of the beasts' frenzy and crush it before much damage can be done..."

There just didn't seem to be a huge amount of information, like who they were off to battle against, or why they were causing so much hardship for the people of Atlas. Surely he would have gathered more information about these foes, that is unless he wasn't able to. The recent conflict between the nations had made it fairly difficult for travel to the various lands. Aurios, being north of Leonias and Argent, meant that it was difficult for Phoenicis scouts to make the trek without being spotted or attacked. He may have sent people north to deal with the incident and just never heard back, thus it would make sense as to why this meeting was held in the first place.

The more Jin thought about it, the more questions she had and it was beginning to do her head in. All those thoughts vanished however when she made her way through the doorway to the outside courtyard. Sitting atop of large dragon creature was Gentry and he seemed to be the centre of attention to what looked like a young Aurios woman attempting to talk to him. Jin looked in awe at the beast before carefully approaching the duo only to hear the woman call out towards the dragon-rider.

"Wait!" Kasumi cried out in an attempt to stop the dragon from taking off. "That's... That's an Absol! I have one too!" @Ananfal

Sure enough this woman had an Absol, along with an Arcanine and Braviary. The woman's Absol was rearing up on it's hind legs as if to try and reach out towards it's own kind. Jin smiled for a moment realising how nice it was for these different nations to finally come together with a common enemy at hand.

Letting Staryu drop down to the ground, Jin raised her hands to her mouth and called out towards the two trainers, "Gentry!!! We'll head west towards the coast and move up through Argent!" Giving him a large wave, she spun on the spot and headed out towards the Phoenicis town in order to gather a few supplies for the trip, Staryu beside her bouncing his way along the path.

"Pretty cool that we happen to meet up with a Dragon-rider, 'ey Staryu?" Jin spoke in glee as she approached the Castle storage locker and handed a token towards the attendant. The attendant quickly ducked into the back room and returned bearing her sword. Staryu chirped in acknowledgement to her statement as she re-tied the belt to her side. "Just a few more things and we should be ready to go."

I love it! The first game was just... AMAZING!!!

Second game had me a bit unsure for a while until the mid point of the game. Then it really showed off it's true colours. :D

Can someone please explain verdante to me? I don't remember it at all and I can't find it in the opening post.

@c3p-0h

It was on the map posted back a few pages [Link]. I don't think it was mentioned at all in the opening posts as a playable area of origin. It may have been put there as a later story element in the original incarnation.

Shouldn't really matter. We can just refer to it as the Antarctica of the world and use it later if need be.
