Pokemon: Life [Always Open]

[hider=Quilo]

Title:

Name: Quilo Kitamura

Nickname: Master of Mist and Mystery

Age: 27

Appearance

Hometown: Snowpoint City, Sinnoh

Height: 5’11”

Weight: 160lbs

Occupation: Viridian City Gym Leader

Likes: Teaching, kendo, reading

Dislikes: Arrogance, hot summer days, unnecessary haste

Talents: Swordfighting, weather forecasting, and dice games

Personality: Usually quite composed, Quilo nevertheless has a charming and polite personality that has made him if not popular in Viridian City, certainly respected in the town known as the entrance to the Indigo League. He's quite fond of the local children, and is employed part-time as a tutor at the Viridian Pokémon Academy. His careful, precise manner helps many of the children, though he credits most of the improvements to his calm, patient teaching environment; outdoors on the grass.
He adopts a similar attitude to challengers who enter his gym; while his gym attendants gain his mentoring, he will advise and praise challengers while teaching them to trust their Pokémon. He also personally greets challengers, even though he is required to wait for them to make his way through the gym before battling him.
He likes mints.

Background: From the cold city of Snowpoint in Sinnoh, Quilo’s parents joke his affinity for ice pokemon came from being born in a snowdrift. Certainly he spent a lot of time playing with the swinub and snorunt that wander through the town, and his first capture was a snorunt who had taken to following the little boy around. Young Quilo quickly showed his affinity for Pokémon, though average at most other subjects.
That changed when his family moved to Kanto; the disruption sent his grades tumbling for several months until he earned a scholarship from the Indigo League.
This helped him find his focus again, and he went 7 of 8 in his pokemon league challenge. His natural talent with ice pokemon led to an apprenticeship with former Elite Four Lorelei, whereafter he was appointed to the Viridian Gym. Renovating the gym to its new ice type theme, he's set about guarding the “entrance to Victory Road” with aplomb ever since.
He hands out the “Blizzard Badge”, a redesign of the Earth Badge that resembles snowflakes on a crescent rather than the feather of the older badge. An ongoing debate between his and Pewter City's gym is which is considered the first gym in the Kanto League; officially, this remains Pewter City, despite perceptions.

Pokemon:

Personal Pokémon

• Nub, a Mamoswine. Ability, Snow Cloak. Moves: Earthquake, Ice Fang, Ancient Power, Hail. (First of Quilo’s Pokémon, and still his favourite. The two of them often rest together in the gym, and Nub carries Quilo when he needs to visit people.)
• Lora, a Lapras. Ability: Shell Armour. Moves: Ice Beam, Sheer Cold, Perish Song, Brine. (A gift from his mentor, and named after her, Lora enjoys sleeping in ponds around Viridian City. During school holidays, she lets children play around and on her back, despite the thinness of her shell)
• Haze, a Froslass. Ability, Snow Cloak. Moves: Blizzard, Draining Kiss, Shadow Ball, Double Team. (Haze is affectionate. When she was a snorunt, this was cute. Now that she can move through walls, it's often startling and sometimes terrifying. Haze doesn't notice this.)
• Katana, an Alolan Sandslash. Ability, Snow Cloak. Moves: Icicle Spear, Metal Claw, Brick Break, Hone Claws. (Serious and focused, Katana was smuggled into Kanto by poachers. He was brought to Quilo in the hopes he would recover from the trauma in a familiar environment. While he's still not entirely friendly, Katana has calmed enough to train with Quilo’s kendo class.)
• Flurry, an Alolan Ninetales. Ability, Snow Cloak. Moves: Dazzling Gleam, Double Team, Ice Shard, Frost Breath (While Katana became sullen and vicious, Flurry’s experience left her shy and skittish. Haze’s affection has helped her recover somewhat, and she occasionally participates in gym battles as she regains her confidence)
• Austram, an Aurorus. Ability: Snow Warning. Moves: Freeze-Dry, Ancient Power, Frost Breath, Hail. (Aloof and regal, Austral stands as the tallest of Quilo’s Pokémon. He cares little for people other than his trainer, but will play disciplinarian when the rest of the team gets too boisterous. Most people who interrupt his almost-constant browsing on the nearby Viridian Forest get pushed aside with his tail.)

Gym Team

While Quilo relies on his personal Pokémon during battles with appropriately skilled trainers, not all of his challengers have their seven gym badges. For that reason, he keeps weaker teams around for weaker challengers. They can include:

• Smoochum (Forewarn) (Sweet Kiss, Powder Snow, Confusion, Sing)
• Swinub (Snow Cloak) (Mud-Slap, Powder Snow, Hail, Endure)
• Sneasel (Pickpocket) (Feint Attack, Fury Swipes, Avalanche, Ice Punch.)

I think I've got everything right... @CaptainSully, how's he looking? I'll finish Viridian Gym soon.

Pokemon: Life [Always Open]

@CaptainSully Since I'm playing a gym leader, do I put my personal team or the team(s) I use for challengers on the character sheet?

Pokemon: Life [Always Open]

And a question; As a gym leader, would I have to stick with Kanto-native ice types for my battles? I believe there's a difference between your battle teams that you use against challenging trainers and your personal team.

Pokemon: Life [Always Open]

@CaptainSully I'm assuming the Elite Four are the HGSS ones, so I can take an Ice-type gym leader in Viridian?

Pokemon: Life [Always Open]

Got room? I think Pokemon would be a fun way back into the group RP.

Avatar: the Legend of the Lost

There were times when Anitelu valued the way that the eyes of the Earth Kingdom citizens would slide off him and his blue clothes, and they'd practically yawn at his waterbending. In fact, he'd been fairly blatantly doing the impossible just over their heads not 15 minutes ago. But here, atop the prison walls, he could scream for that anonymity back. "If you don't mind, I'll..." The earth guard seemed remarkably determined that he stay here. "You know, I'm not actually supposed to..." The spear was rather annoying, the way it was waved in his face whenever he tried to explain. "Look, friend, I-" Anitelu ducked, kicking the guard's legs out from underneath him. Flicking the waterskin open at the same time, Anitelu spread the water out into a thin, but rapidly rotating sphere. The fact that a number of guards were inconvenienced was really secondary at this point. "Thank you for your hospitality, but I must go." Gathering the water beneath him, Anitelu threw himself across the street, catching the roof on the far side with watery tentacles.

He turned, bowed to the fracas below, sidestepped what had to be an arrow fired accidentally in his direction, then began walking very calmly away, looking for those two firebenders. If the Avatar had been here, there'd surely be more bending. There was earth, air, and fire being clearly flung around, but there weren't any other waterbenders. An Avatar would surely make use of the water he'd felt beneath the building. He couldn't have reached it, but the Avatar was impossibly powerful. "Excuse me, sir!" Anitelu called down to a guard below. "Could you point me in the direction of the Upper Ring? I appear to have been turned around in the confusion."

Just when I was making an effort to get back in... Ah well. I'll keep an eye out for other Zelosse projects.

Here to Help D&D 5e GMs and Aspiring!

This a D&D5e DM help thread? I'll contribute.

I'm good at stories, lore, and refluffing mechanics for characters. I'm also good at extrapolation.

I've been behind on all my RPGs. Family things. Also, I can't see any reaction from Zeke that doesn't involve him crying in a corner. He's not a conflict person.
