Pokemon: Shadow of Nemesis Reboot

@Ogobrogo

I see you lurkin' down there, mate.

Pokemon: Shadow of Nemesis Reboot

Cerise

Name:
Cerise Fontaine

Age:
16

Gender:
Female

Appearance:

Cerise

She has bright red hair, along with blue eyes along with fairly pale skin. She wears a black and white one piece dress that she designed, labeled, and put onto market herself. She takes great pride in at, and you'd probably do well not to insult it. Of course, most people in Kalos know better, but out here in the 'boondocks' like Johto, well...

She wears a matching black cap, along with black stockings and black boots. She wears a belt, though it is purely for fashion and utility purposes.

Personality:
At first, Cerise would seem to be a friendly person, if a bit Aloof. She speaks very formally to most people, and is usually quite civil in her tone of voice, even to those she doesn't like - which is usually everyone. She hides her disdain for other people quite well, usually though, unless under extreme pressure or circumstances.

Under her calm and friendly, but aloof exterior...to put bluntly is a spoiled little princess who thinks she's better than everyone. She has no time for the 'common' folk, and she always looks after number one - herself. Arrogant and condescending, she really is not someone most people would want to associate with. As such, she has...well, problems making and keeping so called 'friends'. Because of this, she is quite the actress and can easily fool people into thinking she actually cares. In other words, she's quite the manipulative little girl. If given the chance, she would probably always choose herself over someone else - at least not without a lot of persuasion.

She believes herself to be the best - well, her and her best friend Abigail. The other Kalosian girl is probably the only one she would consider a friend. Her goal for the Journey? Well, unlike Abigail she had no illusions of grandeur for the Pokemon league. Honestly, she simply wanted to see her old friend again. After Abigail moved, the two kept in touch and often met if they could. The Adventure is simply and excuse to see Abigail again - and maybe get away from the pressures of being a country icon at the age of 16.

History:
Similar to Abigail, she is the daughter of a rather well known Kalosian Businessman. He handled quite a number of legal affairs for the wealthy in Kalos. The Blanchett's just happened to be one of them. The two kids often played together, but unlike Abigail, Cerise took quite an interest in the Blanchett's fashion. It was when she was around five, that Abigail and her father moved to Johto, though the two kids parents often arranged for them to meet every now and then.

However, while Abigail was busy furthering her trainer abilities, Cerise was busy apprenticing under Abigails mother. She, unlike Abigail seemed to have a natural talent for fashion, and an eye for detail and design. She put it to good use, and by the time she was 15 she had produced her first clothing design, and luckily enough it as a hit with the people of Kalos.

For the already spoiled Cerise, this was only bigger boost to her ego.

Unfortunately, she started to crack a bit under the pressure. Her creativity spiraled and for half a year. she couldn't design anything. It was then, that she got a call from Abigail that she was going to be going on a journey and challenging the Pokemon league. Well, why not go as well?

She boarded the first flight she could book to Johto, and decided to meet up with Abigail in New Bark.

Quirks/Habits/Other: Tends to play with her hair a lot. Especially if she's trying to...eh...'persuade' a man.

Inventory:
x5 pokeballs.
Her hat
Various fashion items.
Holo Caster.
Map of Johto.
A few other miscellaneous items.

Pokemon:

Natu
Name: runt Natu
Gender: Male

Moves: Leer, Peck, Ally Switch
Lvl: 5
Ability: Magic Bounce
EXP: 50% to next level

A seemingly somewhat odd, but playful pokemon. He doesn't do much, other than stare at people unless spoken to or interacted with, then he's perfectly nice. Unless that person is cerise. He seems to love messing with her.

TL;DR: A manipulative, spoiled, brat who may or may not end up hurting more than she helps.

Theme, for reasons~

Pokemon: Shadow of Nemesis Reboot

Abigail Blanchett

Name:
Abigail Blanchett

Age:
17

Gender:
Female

Appearance:

appearance

Abigail is fairly tall, standing around a solid 5'7". Her natural skin color is usually quite pale compared to most other people. A rather striking feature, that a lot of people find rather attractive. Her feature she likes most, however, is her hair. Her long purple hair is usually tied back into a pony tail, though Cerise likes putting it in a braid whenever she asks her to style it for her for some occasion. Most people tend to notice her bright green eyes at first, however, much to her own chagrin. She hates the color green.

Despite her liking her hair, she doesn't particularly care so much about her appearance. Despite her mom being a bit of a fashionista, she's always taken after her father - an ex Private Investigator. She wears simple, but comfortable and easy to move in black pants.

Personality:
Where to start with her personality? If one were to go by first impressions only, they would simply assume that she's a girl who thinks she's ten times better than everyone at everything. She will often state how much she doesn't like other people and do it quite loudly as well. Its the honest truth, to her. She thinks everyone else will slow her down. She doesn't like interacting with other people, even more so when its against her will. So this whole journey thing, is going to be...interesting, for her at least, since she find most other people quite annoying.

Unfortunately, 'friendship' is mostly a foreign concept to her and she had no idea how to even be friendly. Most often, she can only defaults to some sort of insult. Its not intentional, really, but more of a bit of habit than anything.

However, once she finally warms up to someone, they'll find a secret side to her that is surprisingly thoughtful, and a bit on the sweet side. That doesn't mean its any easier for her - in fact, she's quite nervous about being seemingly to be nice to people. Most often, they'll find her a stuttering and blushing mess, especially if said being nice involves some kind of physical contact, like say...a hug.

Think of her as a grumpy Tsundere cat that secretly likes being cuddled with~ xP

History:
Abigail is originally from Kalos, growing up in the center of of the country - Lumiose. She was born to a mother who was a rather well known fashion designer, and her father who was a Private Investigator. For a time, she grew up there and was quite happy with her life. Well, happy to her in any case. Her parents, despite being rich didn't want to spoil their daughter so they made her work for almost anything she wanted. So, at an early age she developed a need to be the best at everything she worked at. Working harder yielded better rewards, no?

When she was around the age of six, her father and mother split - though she never understood why exactly. She moved to Johto with her father, and they settled down in the city of costal city of Olivine, where she spent the rest of the years growing up. Her father was a bit less lax on her being spoiled, but by now she had gotten it into her head she had to be the absolute best. Actually, no, she was the best and she wasn't going to let anyone tell her otherwise.

She graduated trainers school at the top of her class a few years later when she was 16. After that, she wasn't quite sure what to do with her life. Sure trainer school was promising and all, but she had never actually considered it as an actual career...but oddly enough, the allure of danger and adventure was just too good, despite the law stating travelling in pairs was necessary. So, she signed up for a license, and set off for Newbark Town.

Quirks/Habits/Other:
- Surprisingly, likes eating a lot. Good food is just one way to get on her good side. Where it all goes...people don't know.
- She's surprisingly strong for her size. Physical fitness was something her father also drilled into her. She still likes doing a light jog in the mornings, and waking up at the crack of dawn.
- Do not mess up her hair. its the only thing she actively takes care of appearance wise. Mess it up, you will die.
- has an interest in martial arts, but has never actually tried learning them.

Inventory:
- Pokeballs x5
- First-aid kit, for minor scrapes and injuries (x1)
- Extra clothes x2 (including pajamas)
- Holo-caster, souvenir from Kalos. Works with older and other phones too, but no Hologram will be displayed unless it's communicating with another Holo Caster.
- Hair-Care products, and various hair ties
- Camping stuff.
- Johto Map
All stuffed into her shoulder bag, rather unorganized.

Anyways, done mourning xP

@Savo

Don't worry.

Fantastic, looks like it's back! Damn shame the original had to die, but this time lets make sure it lives!

All hail the dark lord, Tessa, baa baa!

Pokemon: Shadow of Nemesis Reboot

Sorry folks, this is mostly a Private RP between me and a few of my friends so there's not any openings, unfortunately. That said, in the future if something happens we could very well need a new person or two, so send me a PM or something and if something comes up and we need someone else, I'll let ya know.

~Welcome to the Johto Region, young trainers!~

Hello! Welcome to the world of pokemon! It's been awhile since I've last had trainers to give pokemon too. The last bunch was....how many years ago? Ten years ago, when the new law was passed, I think. Oh, this is kind of exciting! These pokemon that I obtained to give young new trainers have just been sitting around the lab! I'm sure they'll be much happier with one of you, now! Oh, wait! I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself! I am Professor Elm! I study pokemon breeding, and specialize in pokemon Eggs and how they are created. I remember the first time I found an egg! An acquaintance of mine who goes by Mr. Pokemon found one, I'm not sure of the specifics, but it hatched into a Togepi! I was astounded! It really helped advance the field of pokemon research and breeding.

Oh, I've gone off on a tangent again. Young trainers, you are now old enough to have a pokemon of your own! I have plenty of pokemon here for you to chose from. These pokemon have been here for quite some time. I intended to give them to the trainers before you, but when the new law passed ten years ago, a lot of them got left and have been waiting here for a trainer. I've taken care of them as best as I can, but pokemon love being outdoors, fighting, training and being with humans!

OH, and a reminder! Please, stay together. Wild pokemon have gotten much more aggressive in recent years. No one is sure what is causing it, but even normally docile pokemon have become much more hostile than usual! It would be terrible if one of you got injured on your journey, so please remember to be careful and stick together! The law only states that you must travel in pairs, but I would advise travelling in a group. It would deter larger numbers of pokemon from swarming you! Plus, it'd be a good thing to get to know your fellow trainers!

...where was I? OH! Right! Now please, pick a pokemon! This pokemon will likely be your partner for life, so choose carefully! now, are you a boy or a girl?



Alright, now that my horrible rendition of a pokemon intro is over, I'll take a bit of time to explain some things here. Obviously, this isn't your average pokemon RP. This RP takes place roughly 20 years after the end of the games/anime. Obviously, things have changed quite a bit. Many of the older professors have already died of old age leaving new ones to take their place. Gary Oak took over Professor Oaks position, and is now the leading Professor in the entire World. Aside from that, the Gym Leaders have all retired, and the iconic Members of the Elite Four, have all retired from their days of pokemon training and battling as well, leaving the younger generation to further themselves and allow a new set of trainers to rise to power.

However, around 10 years ago, wild pokemon suddenly started getting more and more aggressive. It was subtle at first, with wild pokemon going into human towns and causing minor mischief. Usually stealing food here and there, or possibly just playing a harmless prank or two if that was in their nature. However, soon it got to the point where the wild pokemon were attacking trainers in broad daylight. Even new trainers, who were overwhelmed quite easily. This resulted in quite a few numbers of accidents, that led to the passing of a law that increased the age of trainers to sixteen, and a provision that all trainers must travel in pairs.

Since then, the numbers of trainers have drastically decreased in number. However, the danger and the age limit doesn't change the most adventurous - or some would say foolhardy of the trainers.

You are playing one such trainer, who for whatever reason has decided to go on a journey with pokemon provided by Professor Elm. You are going to be traveling in a group, simply because it's safer. Of course, not all of you are going to like this. However, if you go off on your own...well, you dun goofed mate.



First of all, lemme welcome you here. This is a reboot of an RP I tried a few months ago. Due to various reasons, I was unable to continue it. However, I do have some big plans for this and if you are interested, please let me know. Its a private RP for the moment, but if you want in at some point in the future and we have need of another player, please, send me a PM we could use someone.

General Rules

Yeah, yeah, I know. Boring. But it's still important, so just hear me out!

1. Friendliness is key! Keep all IC drama where it belongs, and take other disagreements to the PMs. Remember, we're all friends here! That said, I personally am a big fan of IC drama, and highly encourage characters to conflict with one another.
2. Romance is just as allowed as friendship is, but if there's mature content coming up, please take it elsewhere. No one wants to read your bad smut.
3. Remember, your trainer is just starting out! In other words, we're all n00bs. You are NOT expected to be able to crush the first gym leader beneath your feet. No god-modding or, y'know, Mary Sue style characters!
4. Please abide by the training-related rules specified below!

Starting Out:

Players will start as newbie trainers who are about to start their Pokemon journeys. This will probably put everyone in the age range of about 16~25. If you want to play as someone older, then go ahead, but make sure you have a plausible reason for starting your journey late. Playing as a younger character will not be possible in this RP, due to in-universe laws.

The RP will start in New Bark Town, where Professor Elm will offer player characters a selection of Pokemon. These Pokemon will be:
- Chikorita
- Cyndaquil
- Totodile
- Eevee
- Nidoran M
- Misdreavus
- Houndour
- Mareep
- Tyrogue
- Phanphy
- Swinub
- Natu
- unowns F & U

Characters will not be able to start with a pre-owned Pokemon due to the necessity of a trainer license to own Pokemon. These will be obtained from Professor Elm.

Battling Guidelines:

Now, about battling! Unlike the games, which use EVs and IVs and all that stuff, we will not be taking a Pokemon’s base stats into account…to a certain extent. A Pokemon’s base stats will function as guidelines: a Tyrogue, for example, will be more vulnerable to special attacks than it is to physical attacks. However, in this setting, all Pokemon will be created equal. Tactics and creative solutions will mean much more than base stat numbers, and a Beedrill would most definitely be able to defeat a Dragonite with some very nifty tactics.

In other words, choose the Pokemon that you like, not the Pokemon that you think have the highest stats!

Resistances and weaknesses will still apply.

The moves that a Pokemon will learn in its natural lifetime are the same as the ones that it would learn by leveling up in the game. As far as egg moves go, only two Pokemon in a player’s team can have them, and only one per Pokemon, max.

Also, I shouldn’t have to say this, but please, no auto-hits or OHKOs! Not even with NPCs, okay?

Moves:
Now, as long as a pokemon can learn a move naturally and is at an appropriate level, it can use a move. The four moves you specify in your CS, should be your 'signature moves', so to speak. The ones you'll be using most often. TMs are special, and HM's don't exist. If you teach a TM to your pokemon, it must go in your signature move slot. Three pokemon can learn a TM, and only one TM per pokemon.

Egg moves:
Two pokemon can know egg moves, and only one egg move each. Also must be put on your 'signature move list'

Catching Guidelines:

If you’re in an environment where a Pokemon can be found (eg. we’re on Route 1, and you want a Pidgey), then go ahead and encounter it. However, because wild Pokemon are a lot more aggressive now, there will be no ‘oh I gave it food and it decided to come with me’. Players should expect to waste 2-3 Pokeballs on each Pokemon. Remember, wild Pokemon are practically feral by this point! Players with wild-caught Pokemon should expect to face some obedience issues towards the beginning of their friendship with their Pokemon.

Now, on pseudo-legedaries. The pseudo-legendaries that exist are Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, Hydreigon, and Goodra. These Pokemon and their evolutionary lines will NOT be encountered in the wild. Some of them aren’t even from Johto, actually. Pseudo-legendaries will be gift Pokemon only, and the distribution of them will be controlled by us GMs.

Before you catch a Pokemon, please run it by Me and Ogo first. On each new route, we will provide a list of capturable pokemon.

Inventory Guidelines:

Your inventory is where any important items go. Things like Pokeballs or Evolution stones. Items like potions and such, are not counted here. Why? well, potions aren't exactly easy to use in battle any more. Aside from the fact it'd be dangerous to go in there and use one in the middle of a pokemon fight, they've gotten a bit more expensive as well. Outside of a fight, its perfectly okay for you to use a few to get your team back up to health. Just don't god mod with it or anything.

Everyone starts with five pokeballs, and whatever other important items they have that everyone else may not. Say, a pokegear or Holo-caster. Maybe a funny little scarf. Limit to five pokeballs at a time to begin with. However, for every badge you own you can hold one more. If you're not going after badges, the person with the highest number of badges in the group has your max number of pokeballs.

Trainer Battling

Battling a wild pokemon shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just don't catch one or beat one in one post. Make it a good battle, and somewhat difficult. That said, don't take too long with it either. Three posts should be enough to finish of or capture a random wild pokemon.

As for trainer battles and PvP stuff - since it could get lengthy during battles, especially those with six pokemon, we've decided to make all PvP battles collabs.

How will this work? Easy enough. One collab = one pokemon match. Say, on collab = 'Nidoran VS Houndour', then you end that collab. Post it, and allow for other people to comment, post, or hell, even interrupt the fight after that if possible. As soon as one pokemon faints, the collab shall end. So, all battles should take no more than six posts between two people.

Might update later if we encounter problems, but for now that is the basic system.

CS template

Name: Pretty self explanatory

Age: Between 16-25, most likely. You could have an older character if you have a plausible reason for them to be starting their journey late, but you can't have a younger character. In this universe, 16 is the minimum age for starting your journey.

Gender: Somewhat self explanatory.

Appearance: Picture, paragraph, whatever. You know the drill.

Personality: Blah, blah, blah. Aside from general personality traits, go ahead and tell us what kind of training style your character has. If your character has no idea what they're going to do with their life then that's fine, but otherwise, tell us what kind of ambitions your character has too! Do they want to be a pokemon breeder? A coordinator? The Champion of the Johto League?

History: Again, you know the drill. =)

Quirks/Habits/Other: This part is optional. Does your character have any quirks? Strange habits? A complete inability to keep the inside of their bag even vaguely tidy?

Inventory: See inventory Guidelines

Pokemon: Please note that no one will start with any Pokemon due to in-universe laws. Since trainers now need licenses to own Pokemon and the minimum trainer age has been pushed up, no characters can start with a pre-owned Pokemon. However, please insert your Pokemon here as you get them!

TL;DR: Summarize your character very very briefly, because Arceus knows not everyone can be bothered to read through all these character sheets, and at least this way everyone will have at least a vague understanding of who's who.

Reboot: Please Select Player

"I don't think it's a dream."

He was afraid she was going to say that. It would have been infinitely better if some part of his subconscious popped up and said "Hahaha, jokes on you." So he could proceed to strangle it and wake up from this weird dream. He sighed, ugh, this freakin' sucked. Almost worse than losing all of his anarchy stacks on Borderlands after getting 400. Well, it could be worse. It could always be worse. Everyone could be going around like a lunatic and trying to kill each other.

"I don't take orders from anyone, graveyardstuffer!"

Oh wait. Ugh. People. Why must they always try to kill each other? Really, they should all just be working together to figure out this mess, but no. They were fighting and probably were going to kill one of them. Really, he wanted to just ignore it, but for some reason there was this...little twitch, telling him to get involved. Why? He couldn't exactly say but if he had to guess, it was because explosions were going to possibly be a thing.

"And we have our first volunteer-!"

...fuck it. Kirby had the right idea. They should probably break up this fighting before it escalated any further. Kind of funny since Deathtrap was originally built as an anti-bullying robot. But what exactly could he...do? Well, he could have Deathtrap make sure the pick ball of happiness didn't get hurt or something.


"Can you back me up? I'm gonna try to suck up their weapons maybe I can get them to stop fighting if they don't have any weapons. Oh, and I'm Cia by the way!"

Being the eternal realist, he was pretty sure people, if they wanted too, would fighting without weapons. Or rather, they'd just make new weapons. Meh. Well, it couldn't hurt to try. Not like he'd probably get hurt. And DT was a big guy, he could handle some punishment.

"Yo, Deathtrap. Make sure that pink ball doesn't get hurt or something, yeah?" A brief mechanical noise that sounded like a trash compactor lost a fight with a razorblade came from the robot, before turning its attention to Kirby. Her plan seemed like the best so far. Well, aside from having Deathtrap give them the clap of death and explode all of them.

Chasers: Boundary of the Crimson Sky (Full for the time being)

@KoL
Well, guys, it's been fun hanging out with all of you but after a bit of consideration and other things coming up I've decided to drop the RP.

It looks like a really cool idea, but I just can't go with it currently, so let someone on that waiting list in xP

Sorry if this screws anything up for you guys.
