Eh, no different, really. Fighting depression and trying to keep up running to help with that. Being a regular hermit because people suck. Doing a lit of writing and game play to escape real life.
I just want off this island and to be in the states so I can have a real life.

Does someone need a hug?

When is the soonest you'll be able to head home?

In the past, it would have been mostly berries, spices, drinks and items like that. That's actually info from the Pokemon Lore.

Very useful site that allows for custom built fantasy maps.

After designing a map, I placed it in Photoshop and ended up with this:

Insurgence | Medieval Pokemon RP

Neito was born into the Royal Nobility of Naranai. Once he reached four years of age he was given a shiny Vulpix named Burūfokkusu as a protector. At the age of seven he began to learn royal combat and mastered it at the age of Twelve. One year later he received the royal crest to signify his claim to the thrown and his ascent into his teen years. When he reached sixteen his Vulpix was evolved to a Nintails. Two months after his sixteenth birthday the Kings younger brother forced a Coup D'Etat onto the king and was successful. Once the brother became king, he issued a decree stating that the previous king and all of his family were to be executed. After hearing this the former king gave his sward, Nibuidesu, to Neito along with a healthy sum of money and told him to run. Since then Neito has been wandering from country to country fighting anyone he views as corrupt.

So 50 years ago the Xuirong region got destroyed and all the inhabitants fled to Argent thus becoming migrants/refugees mostly in the city while the rest of the locals spread themselves around the country. Because of this I assume that most of your Royalty history would be up in the air at the moment since you are not of Argentian decent and I doubt that an immigrant would be able to become a member of the royal family so quickly.

Other than that, I don't see any other issues with the character. Just need to work on a new back story as such. Refer back to the OP and have a re-read so you know you're not missing any other important details.

You got a fine for having long grass? o__O

Attracting people to your roleplays

Formatting, formatting, formatting.

Easiest, and I can't stress enough, but the easiest way to generate some interest. You want to catch someone attention in seconds and having things clear to read and in paragraphs with colourful headings, dot points and a clear indication of what will be expected in the RP can improve your chances of people joining so easily.

Best part of all is that it requires little effort.

One of my roleplays
When I created this roleplays the interest check went psycho with people wanting to enter. I only wanted two people but ended up asking for PM submission of character sheets to choose the best for what we needed. So we had it all set up even before starting the true RP, and I believe a lot of was due to the ease of relaying information.

Jin had finished her time in the local markets and hurried enerstly towards the outside of the city where she would meet up with the others. Her detour was from the meeting point was mostly to get some food supplies for the trip, but to also look for a waterstone. Like what Gentry suggested, Staryu would evolve into a Starmie when exposed to a waterstone and she had been on the hunt for one for a while, however they were very rare and most of the time extremly overpriced to the point where she simply couldn't afford it. Most of her savings was spent when she purchased her Ninjato and being of a unique design it had to be specially manufactured from start to finish.

She left the city limits feeling somewhat disapointed that her personal quest was more in vain and when she saw the group surrounding Gentry and his Salamance, she noticed that they were standing on the path towards Leonias.

"Are we waiting for something in particular? Maybe someone?"

Jin heard the group talking amongst themselves as she walked over and decided to address the Aurios woman's query.

"Um.. Possibly me. Are we going through Leonias instead?" Her question was addressed with uncertanity as she had never been out of Argent before this trip and taking a full journey through what some of the more radical Argentians called 'The Enemy's Territory' did make her feel uneasy. Being part of the Guard Regiment had it's many perks but one of it's downfalls was that they never left the country.

"I can't back out now," she thought quietly as she looked over the other party members and tried to remember their faces, and who owned which pokemon. From the looks of it, this was going to be the group that she would be venturing out with.

Is either letting coGMs editing first post for each tab or a GM/coGM note thing at the top of each tab a likely feature to be added anytime soon?

Oh, and thought of another semi-crazy idea, @Mahz... How about GMs being able to make announcement type posts in their threads? Say if there's something they want all players to note, rather than general chatter.
Perhaps a shiny frame or somesuch?

@Ellri

For the first post of each tab, what about a reserved post that only the GM/Co-GMs can post in. That way if someone decides to post character sheets in the CS section, their posts will never be before the owner(s) of the thread.

An announcement like form at the top or side of the RP would also be a good utility for the GM(s). Occasionally I know I have to refer back through the pages to find something that was important when there have been a few pages of off topic discussion. Having it pinned to a section that reoccurs on each page would improve the flow of information.

Childhood ruined. DO NOT CLICK. If you want a normal childhood

These stories are all from people that just have the ability to read into things and inject ideas that make absolute sense... somehow.

One that I read recently was to do with the original Pokemon and a War.

You have no father, and your best friend is an orphan.
Children are going to a journey around the world.
Your mother accepts you as the man of the house, making your own decisions.
Old man warns you of dangers around the corner.
Most people you meet are children and/or gym leaders.
Most adult men are either very old, or have a job related to the military or organized crime.
Hospitals and gyms are everywhere, but no forms of entertainment such as movie theaters.
LT. Surge:
"Hey kid! What do you think you're doing here? You won't live long in combat!
That's for sure! I tell you what kid, electric Pokèmon saved me during the war!"
You now realize that there was a war in Kanto.
Your father died, and your rival lost his parents.
You are among the first generation of people to live in peace at post-war time.

I'll leave it to crow since he knows the requirements better than I for what twilight wants.

I posted a big'n. Hope it's okay that I pulled everyone in the Jin group outside the city.

@Chexmix

That should be fine. I'll meet up with you all in my next post. When I get home from work this evening.
