@LuckyBlackCat @Mistress Dizzy @Crimson Flame any of you are free to go.

Pokémon: Rust

Ugh… forget what I said. Everyone, just play on. I’m done waiting.

Pokémon: Rust

@Such A Birch is saying he’s back in. To Birch, just ignore the last two posts and play as if nothing happened. GM’s call.

Pokémon: Rust

From within the lab, Cypress shook his head. He'd been watching the battle with rapt interest when one of Argen's parents had arrived. It seemed there was some trouble back at their dispensary and they would need all hands on deck to solve the problem. Some new sort of disease going on with the Fairy Pokémon. Unfortunately, this meant that Argen would be unable to join the expedition team for the departure. With a heavy heart, the professor sighed as he took back Argen's DexWatch, Trainer Card, and even the Gible.

"I'm sorry about this, Little Guy. "You were looking forward to finally getting a trainer of your own weren't you?" The Gible's head fell and it looked as though it was about to cry when suddenly, much to its surprise, Professor Cypress started to laugh. "Not to worry, you'll get to train with me and my team here! In fact, you'll be doing quite a bit of traveling and you'll further my research!"

Before the Pokemon could react, Professor Cypress reached into his lab coat and retrieved a set of Pokeballs. From out of them popped a Goodra, a Turtonator, and his ace partner: Kingdra! With a smirk, the Professor picked up the little dragon while it stared in awe at the professor's team.

"Welcome to the crew, Little Guy!" Cypress cradled the Gible in his arms as he looked out the window to see Rory pulling the jeep around and George and Orianna preparing to get in. Their first stop in the Kaida region was Hesperus City, the Town of Ancient Kings. Once they acquired the Overseer's Mark, George and Orianna would be free to explore the surrounding routes at their leisure. Until then, Rory could guide them on the basics of catching Pokémon near the city grounds. Cypress shuddered as he recalled the Overseer of Hesperus City, a Fairy-Woman...

@Crimson Flame it’s been over two days and I got nothing so just continue on. Argen can either be injured in the battle or he gets called back home for “reasons”. He’s a Bianca character now. Rory will keep the Gible.

Shaman King: Darkstars

Didn't the boss say seirei was off limits, though?

I like the look of the character, and the background, I feel, is good too. Look forward to learning a bit more about her cultural distinctions as a shaman

@BenG85

I said kami (god class) was off limits to start. Seirei is just an ascended form of a basic spirit so it passes. Also, all characters have been approved. Start the RP, ladies and gents!

Shaman King: Darkstars

Name: Pyrus

Age: 27

Star Sign: Scorpio

Blood Type: AB-

Spirit Ally: Pyrus' spirit ally is a massive wolf named Lobo. At one point, Lobo was the 'king' of the American Southwest, leading a large pack and terrorizing farmers and native tribes alike. It was only when Lobo's mate was killed by a pack of hunters that he was drawn out. Seeing no reason to live, Lobo allowed himself to be captured and he eventually starved himself to death. In death, Lobo's spirit roamed the Southwest, calling out for his mate. One day, he and Pyrus found each other. Finding kinship in their shared loneliness, Lobo became Pyrus's spirit ally on the condition that he would assist him in searching for Blanca, Lobo's mate.

Oversoul Medium: Pyrus's main medium is a bracelet made from wolf bones that he wears on his right arm. In addition, he is also able to manifest Lobo's spirit inside his own body as well and 'sync' with him, turning Pyrus into a wolf for a period of time.

Oversouls:
Lobo Utlunta By placing Lobo's spirit in Pyrus's bone bracelet, Lobo is able to manifest as a pair of large claws on Pyrus's hands. Lobo's spirit can manipulate the shape of the bones, allowing Pyrus to extend/fire the claws forward like spears.

Skinwalker Thanks to intense training from his mentor Quarta, Pyrus is able to use his own body as a medium and 'merge' with Lobo's spirit. This form grants Pyrus the strength and speed of a wolf as well as sharpened senses. The drawback is this form consumes a large amount of mana, so it's only used in dire situations.

Background: Life was never easy for Pyrus. Being born in the Kee Tribe of Native Americans, his mother died in childbirth and his father died on a hunting trip shortly thereafter. Viewing him as a 'bad omen', Pyrus was outcast from the tribe and left to fend for himself. One day, he found himself being chased down by a pack of vultures when his cries for help caught the attention of Lobo, who's arrival awakened Pyrus's shamanic power. A nearby Patch shaman named Quarta sensed this awakening and brought Pyrus and Lobo to the Patch Tribe where they began their training. Having lost a child of her own, Quarta became a mother figure to Pyrus in addition to his teacher. Pyrus joined the Darkstars as a means of repaying the Patch tribe for letting him in among them and to travel the world in the hopes of finding Lobo's mate and reuniting them.

@Crimson Flame Ok, it’s been nearly two days since my DM and I’ve heard nothing. If there is no post by midnight, you are free to win the battle and we’ll try to push forward without Argen as a character. @Such a Birch if you come back and are reading this, I’ll be willing to place you back in, but slowing down the rp kills the fun for everyone else and we had to move forward.

Pokémon: Rust

Yes. I would say so. I’d explain it as either A.) Argen gets injured and has to step aside or B.) we just treat it like he’s a different trainer.

Pokémon: Rust

@LuckyBlackCat I’m glad to hear that. Worst case scenario, Rory just takes a more hands-on approach (essentially he becomes the Tracy of the team). I was planning for him to be involved already, but he’ll just be more so if Birch doesn’t come back.

Also, one other design thing. Could you make the scales that aren’t armored look patchwork-ish? Like, the armor scales appear in “spots” along the arms,legs, head, etc. like bruises/war wounds. This would be locations where the Pokémon was struck the most.
