If you’re so inclined, you can pick and choose who gets in up to what you’re comfortable with. That way everyone can apply, and you can choose who you’d want in the game. I’d say don’t feel pressured to go beyond what you’re comfortable with.

Pokemon: Valkyrie league!

Well, I went ahead and made the character. Here goes.

Shadows of Almia

Name: Sylvie Chase
Age: 25
Pronouns: She/Her
Trainer Type: Pokémon Ranger
Hometown: Originally Snowpoint, Sinnoh, current residence listed at Vientown, Almia

Appearance: Sylvie is fair skinned standing at about 5’6” tall and is lanky in build. Despite this, she is quite capable athletically, and has enough stamina to hike several miles tirelessly. She has long green hair and blueish eyes. Though she likes her hair down, she has it in a pony tail or other styles that keep it away from her face when working. She wears breathable clothes such as t-shirts, tank tops, shorts and skorts. When on business she has a red vest or a red jacket for adverse weather. She also has a brimmed red hat and gloves. Her preferred footwear is boots. She has a watch, and though she likes jewelry, she hardly wears any for practical reasons. She keeps her essentials in a small belt bag that sits at her waist and a cross-body bag around her back.

appearance

Personality:
She is quite peppy and ready to help anyone in a bind. She is always glad to meet new people and expand her connections. It helps especially in her line of work when cooperation can make or break an operation.
Challenge-focused, she looks for the next thing that needs doing and goes for it. Ready and willing to take on any problem regardless of the difficulty. She is often first in line to take on the seemingly impossible. To that end she is also incredibly patient and kind, rarely letting her temper get to her. It’s joked in her inner circle that if anyone managed to get Sylvie mad, they must have done something incredibly evil.

History:
Sylvie was born in Snowpoint City, and there she was raised until she was seven. Her family had moved to Almia, the home her father was originally from. Being out and about wasn’t new to Sylvie. She became familiar with her parents, mainly her father, always being on the move, conserving this and protecting that. She recalls faintly of her father spending several weeks holed up deep inside Snowpoint temple, preserving the ruins within.
Sylvie admired her parents commitment and when she was old enough, she enrolled in the Ranger School and become a Pokemon ranger. She learned fast and quickly rose the ranks. She proved to be reliable, and was one of the few who responded first whenever the anything like Team Dim Sun tries to take root.
It was her dedication and reliability that granted her the title of Top Ranger, and with it the ability to assign herself her own ranger missions as the needs arose. This also let her perform ranger tasks outside the region, letting her join Rangers in those region that had traditional teams. It was during one of these operations involving a smuggling ring trying to profit off revived fossil Pokemon.
The operation was simple enough, but since it cross over several borders, Sylvie got involved to both end the smuggling, and find proper homes for the hundreds of displaced fossil Pokemon. Displaced in both home and era. Despite that being successful, there was one Cranados that proved to be very problematic, using it’s hard head to tear through most containment methods. After the third escape attempt that set the recently rescued fossil Pokemon roaming out and about the city, Sylvie took it upon herself to deal with it.
Having gone home to Almia, she was still holding onto the Cranados. Any sanctuary she brought it to would end up calling the local rangers to take it somewhere else because it kept knocking out the other Pokemon and disrupting everyone. It was her mother that suggested that maybe it would be better suited in the hands of a trainer who could spend the time to properly train it. An idea Sylvie wasn’t opposed to. She grew up watching battles, and before she met her father, her mother was deep into the league. She could see first hand the dedication some trainers had in raising the potential of their pokemon.
By this time, Cranados had finally stopped trying to fight her or her partner Pokemon. The more Sylvie thought about it, the more she felt like the best person to deal with it would be herself. That was it. A new side to fulfilling the Pokemon ranger ideals, and calming Cranados’s pent up competitive nature. And with her mother helping guide her, Sylvie transitioned from a ranger of the Ranger Union, to that more of those she met outside of Almia. Protecting nature, while also becoming strong enough to handle any other challenge sent her way. Trainers, and rangers, putting two together for the betterment of those Pokemon. Only way to go was up, and if she was going to do this, like everything else she put herself through, she was going for the top.

Goals: To get stronger for the love of the game. Maybe to help out her Pokémon's issues, as well.

Pokemon: Valkyrie league!

There are definitely merits to both. Looking at it now, the character I'm making would better fit the latter of the two options. But I can also understand wanting to have a Rp focused more on having come to oneself and now it's time to showoff the progress against other like individuals. So I can adjust.

Fia Blackfire

It was only a moment, but to the group, it felt like an eternity. Fia was more than willing to bargain with the djinn, but everyone else was vehemently against it. For Fia, the deal was more than just the trinkets she could potentially walk out with. That was only an after thought, something the others might be able to take advantage of to better their own prowess against the unknowns of the twilight lands. Given the stern injunctions of some, and the silence from everyone else, it was clear that only Fia saw this as a boon rather than a curse.
Arcan held out his hand, expecting Fia to follow through perhaps. In that moment, Fia had a thought. Something like the ancient Djinn was an encounter Fia never thought she’d experience so early on her adventure to unlocking her own potential with worldly power. She was too focused on the what if rather than the reality of the situation. Just moments ago, Fia warned them of the untold power ancient Djinn could possess/ Fia had to take her own words to heart. She realized that despite how much she had learned and assimilated, she was not on that level.
Fia looked at Arcan in the eye and then down at his extended hand. She took a half step forward, and gingerly placed two of the objects into it, positioning them so they wouldn’t fall out of his grasp. The one item she kept, as per the deal Arcan himself, presented, was the leaf-like brooch. A once in a lifetime opportunity perhaps, but there were still many years left in hers. It was too early to indebt herself into that of a singular djinn, as unique as he was. She did take some solace in knowing where Arcan called his domain, so perhaps in the far future, Fia could return and maybe attempt another dialog with the ancient djinn.
“Alright, darling. I’ve heard you. Theriadore's trinkets belong here, and I won’t put any more stress on my sweet dear Miwa. And everyone else, for that matter.” said Fia. She looked at Miwa for a moment then back at Arcan, “I guess we’ll be leaving now.” Not soon after she finished speaking, Jazdia returned to the group. She looked furious and concerned at the same time. Her face attempting to remain smooth, but Fia could tell something was off.
“Mad? Maybe.” said Fia. She tossed the brooch a foot into the air before catching it in her palm and stashing it away. “But I’m not going to poke the bear any further here. I don’t mean to worry you. Sometimes a girl just can’t help but want to leave with something shiny. Like I said, I misunderstood Arcan’s generosity when we first arrived. I think we pushed fate enough today. You want to leave? By all means, lets. Come dear Miwa, I’m sure there are other curses within these cursed lands for you to cleanse away from here.”

This was unexpected. Given how dear this vault and its contents were to Arcan, she was surprised that an option other than surrendering the newly acquired treasures was even presented. Fia completely ignored the horrific expression Vesemir held. Testing their luck against such a being so soon after he nearly brought down the cave in on them was probably not his idea of smart decision. Still, Fia listened as Arcan explained each of the items. Fia would have figured out what each did eventually, but this saved her a lot of time.
“Oh? I like the sound of that.” said Fia, her arms lowering slightly, but the items she ‘claimed’ were still presented openly. Especially with the claim that they ‘could take more than that.’ It made it sound like they could walk back into the showroom and potentially walk out with more artifacts. In some ways, it still seemed fair to the young mage. Everyone was welcomed in, so everyone walks out with a prize. Also considering what happened to the last guest and the bout between he and his companions leading to the death of an entire city. Fia contemplated pushing their luck further in this regard.
The ancient djinn’s insistence on putting the items to good use caught Fia’s ears. In her line of reasoning, that means just using the items in general. Clearly some of these items power had waned. Perhaps one of the reasons is they were lying dormant for so long. One who takes pride in their creations often wish to seem them in action, and hope that they continue to provide actual benefit to the outside world. Museums are well and good, but this vault was true to its name. And everything inside was wasted potential. But Fia had a feeling that one of the reasons card holders were allowed to claim some of the treasures in the first place was to release them from their prison.
So far, the items and their effects were stunted. It was hard to gauge how different or potent the items were at their expressed purpose. Fia’s chromatic heart already provided her with an effective boon when it came to conserving mana and increasing her own power. Still, treasure was treasure and Fia was keen on accepting the offer. With the exception of the one item that Eblana had her eyes on, Fia was confident that she could make use of the others in one fashion or another.
“Well, I’ll be sure to use whatever artifacts I’m able to walk out with. Though, I have a feeling that isn’t my decision to make alone. So darlings, if no one has an objection, I might just accept."

Well, considering everything that took place just moments ago, Fia’s decision to grab a couple goodies of her own was probably ill advised. Arcan knew that items were missing and probably which ones, but he didn’t know who. Fia paused in thought as the others discussed what may have happened to the missing items from the vault. There were pro and cons to each decision. When Vesemir couldn’t come up with anything, Fia took a step forward.
She reached into her bad and presented three different jewelry items. “I may have misunderstood how far your generosity reached. Well, I apologize for my mistake. Here are the items.” said Fia. She kept her voice calm and steady. Her heart beat didn’t change and her breathing remained calm. All in an effort to prove completely sincerity in her confession. While she had hoped to be able to walk out with the items, ultimately it would be better to leave safely than it was to provoke the ancient djinn any further. And it was far too early into their adventure to throw Vesemir under the bus for mere trinkets. As much as those trinkets held untold power from ages long past.
“If Vesemir would be so kind then, might he claim this item as his second?” Fia asked more directly towards Vesemir than to Arcan. With her other hand, Fia picked up the piece of jewelry Eblana was looking at most intently just before the group left the workshop to investigate the djinn’s rage. A certain someone in our group appeared to covet this intricately beautiful piece, and I think it would be a stunning addition.”
As for the other two items, Fia looked at them longingly, but only for a moment before she presented them to Arcan to take from her hands. They were still in the vault, Arcan's domain. And Fia was not ready to poke the bear in his own home. Fia hoped this gesture proved both genuine misunderstanding and willingness to amend the situation.
