“However, it’s going to be problematic if she keeps considering herself a lap Pokémon. A Nidoqueen thinking she’s a lap Pokémon means I will not have a lap anymore.”

Hm? Andreas nodded as he took note of Lily following him towards a table. The laugh that followed broke the line between his lips, bringing a smile that he was sure she hadn't seen. Cute. He watched curiously as the Nidorina, so gentle in doing so ate its food, almost as graceful as its trainer he thought. Bringing his gaze from Lily and her Pokémon back to sorting out food for his own friends.

“Oh wow that’s a nice set you have!” It was the excitement to her tone that caught Andreas' attention more than the words themselves. He eyed Lily blankly for a moment, almost as if what had been said hadn't fully registered. Another thin smile broke out and Andreas began to pack the food back into his rucksack,

"Oh, thanks." He uttered, audible although barely. "Yeah, I see your point." Andreas paused, running his finger along a grain in the wood of the tabletop, "I think I want to win though." He spoke openly, his eyes once more meeting Lily before he took another once over of the other trainers and their Pokémon. Lily's statement brought confidence to Andreas in his Poké friends and it was nice that he seemed to be getting along so well with someone he'd only just met... At least, in his eyes. There were a lot of trainers who'd come to compete in the open tournament and the more attention Andreas paid to them, the more he began to doubt himself and that brimming confidence which had been boiled up now began to simmer and subside. Many of the people competing here seemed more seasoned than him and were probably at the limit of badges for the tournament, three, he was sure of it.

"No." Andreas stated, a laugh followed. "No, I wish. My uncle runs a Poké daycare and is really into Pokémon nutrition. He spends a lot of his time gathering and mixing ingredients before putting them into the food." Andreas picked up one of the nuggets which looked like oversized, dry, biscuit like dog food. The Pidgey he had taken it from looked up, chirped in approval and went back to pecking at the food. The trainer examined the round, solid piece of biscuit and passed it to Lily to do the same. He took another, followed by the same approving chirping of the Pidgey and popped it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed in an instant. "It's not bad actually." Andreas wasn't sure what was wrong with him but - this had been the most talking he'd done in a while, his mouth was getting tired.

Underneath the table he slipped his badge case out from his pocket and opened it slowly, not wanting Lily to see him checking. Andreas only had one badge so far, and he'd sure as hell worked hard for it. He sighed, putting the case away again, this time into his backpack which he closed tight. Andreas brought his gaze up one more time, he smiled as he said, "I haven't a clue what's in it though." Scratching the back of his head.

"I love potato salad!"

Andreas' gaze drifted between his plate, Lily and the potato salad. He squinted as he thought about it carefully for a moment before shaking his head, figuring he'd get through what he had piled up already at least. “You must be hungry. I hope you can handle that much food.” He'd caught her looking at his plate but his eyes slowly met with the ground between his feet as he was sure they'd made eye contact, if only briefly. At that moment, the trainer's stomach let off a loud growling noise, his sigh was followed by a quaint laugh, "Yeah, I suppose I was pretty hungry - huh?" Catching the Pokémon at Lily's side he brightened up, "Oh wow." He proclaimed in a semi-excited tone, "A Nidorina, I've never seen one outside the daycare before." Andreas paused and collected himself before asking Lily, "How long has it been with you?"

The trainer walked with his new acquaintance to where they could sit and eat. He'd unearthed that she too was a competitor in the tournament, he also couldn't help but notice her social side. Looking around, Andreas noticed there were a lot of trainers here, most if not all to compete he was sure of it. There were some strong Pokémon here too, some Andreas had never even heard of let alone seen in the flesh. The sight of all the incredible Pokémon brought him to the conclusion that it was time to feed his own, Andreas almost never ate without his Pokémon and vice versa. Placing his own plate of food down and releasing them one by one from there respective balls; Bulbasaur, Abra, Graveler, Poliwag, Pidgey and Sandslash all spoke for food. "You guys sure are hungry..." He mumbled as he rummaged through his rucksack, retrieving the separate packets of homemade Pokémon food - one of his uncle's specialties.

Andreas proceeded to give portions to each of his Pokémon, looking to Lily while she wasn't quite watching him. He took note of her appearance, she was pretty but he wouldn't let this get in the way of his chances at winning the tournament. "How do you see yourself ranking?" He asked, a thin smile as he continued arranging his Pokémon food.

Pokémon: Start

It wasn't what you said but how you said it. I think it speaks for your character, good luck with the role play.

Pokémon: Start

@SmileyJaws I'm afraid we're not taking applicants. The thing up there. It says "Full", you might have noticed. Do ask BEFORE you post a character.

That said, nnnnnnnnnnnnnnumber of comments. Were you, like, planning to win your first Gym battle ever? Now, ain't that highly presumptuous of you? These Gym Leaders are hardly pushovers, after all. I ASSUME that what you were planning was that he'd get said aspirations when said Gym Battle victory eventually happened, because it can obviously not happen before he got a Pokémon... XD

Also, you got Bulbasaur's ability wrong. It boosts grass-type moves by 50% when Bulbasaur has less than one third of his health left. It's kind of extremely important detail, ya know! XD ... Oh, and they don't start holding anything. You get the Pokémon blank.

And... yeah, we're not accepting. I do not want to be overwhelmed. It is possible that all players decide to go adventuring ENTIRELY SEPARATELY and I'll need to make up NINE different adventures just to keep up with them. I dearly HOPE they'll form groups, but inevitably, they'll have to challenge the Pokémon Gyms as individuals. ... Heck, maybe that's a bad idea. Maybe I should have made gyms, like, need three people to combat? Maybe that would make it fit better as a roleplay rather than as a video-game? Hm. ... Oh, well!

Anyways. Because of that, I don't want more than nine characters. Nine, because then they can form three groups of three, which I can see as the ideal. Now, it's up to them what they actually do, but that's my take. I'm not risking more.

Now, then.

@PlatinumSkink

You could have been a bit less of a d*ck but thanks for letting me know. Good luck with your role-play.

Pokémon: Start

Room for one more?

Andreas

"Everyone will know my name!"


Age: Sixteen
Gender: Boy
Personality: Intelligent and reserved, Andreas is a good listener but a relatively quiet person. An introvert when younger; catching, training and battling Pokémon brought him out of his shell and taught him people skills. Andreas is most comfortable in silence and while he has a strong exterior is often brought down by his thoughts of inferiority and failure. Kind but firm, Andreas is no pushover as person or a trainer but is fair and understanding. A private bookworm, when alone he enjoys the company of his Pokémon and a good book although doesn't find as much time for it as he'd like. Andreas is ambitious and loyal and even on the road to achieving his own goals often puts others needs before his regardless of consequences.
Hometown: Bigfjord City
Background: A city boy born and raised, Andreas finds solace in the hustle and bustle of city life. Andreas was raised by a single mother during his childhood, his father had left with aspirations of becoming a Pokémon Master and never returned. Andreas doesn't find himself feeling bitter to his Father, instead he prefers to think that there was good reason for his abandonment and perhaps if not lost or dead, his Father achieved his dream and is looking for the family he left behind. Pokémon had always been a fascination of Andreas', his uncle a Pokémon Daycare owner is responsible for Andreas' introduction into the World of Pokémon and taught him much of what he now knows today about the creatures.

A trouble maker in adolescent years, especially around when Puberty hit, Andreas seemed to keep falling in with the wrong crowd. His mother always scolded him for his poor ability at picking friends. Mischief lead to petty crime which in turn could have gone down a much darker path if it wasn't for the six months Andreas spent living with his Uncle after being caught trying to break into a PokéMart with a local youth gang. It was at this point in time that it became clear to Andreas. He wanted more than to live and die in the same city, all his life doing the same stupid things with the same group of losers who at the bottom of his heart, Andreas knew were going nowhere. Like many at his tender age, he began exploring all the different options relating to Pokémon in his future, daycare work seemed honorable and he took a lot of inspiration from his Uncle. At the same time, there was a desire to be the best, catch every type of Pokémon and become a Pokémon Master. It wasn't until his first Gym battle some time later, where Andreas' first badge was earned that he knew he had found his calling. Andreas was to become a Gym Leader and then to further himself even more a League trainer and maybe even someday, one of the Elite Four.
Kind of Pokémon you like: Andreas likes many type of Pokémon and prefers a balanced approach.

"Thanks again for the lift." Andreas spoke, looking out the back window of the pickup, he examined his Pokémon sitting in the back, conversing among themselves. He looked back, eyes locked onto the road ahead Andreas twiddled his thumbs unsure of what to say if anything. He turned to look at the driver, an old man with a frail build, despite his appearance he was obviously a strongman, probably a lot stronger than Andreas too he'd bet.

"It's no problem!" The old man chirped taking his eyes off the road, "I was going this way anyway and when I stopped, I knew you were alright." The man driving brought his attention back to the road, pursing his lips. He found it odd that the lad didn't seem to make much conversation. He'd shared few and far words in between the whole journey. "There's some great looking Pokémon you got there."

"Thanks." Andreas uttered again, he noticed the driver glancing at the pokéball in the boys bag. Poliwag... If only I thought you wouldn't try run off. He frowned but his trail of thought was interrupted by the driver once more.

"What's that Pokémon in the ball?" The old man asked, his gaze drifting between the bag and the road trying to spark some kind of conversation.

"It's a Poliwag, but it was abandoned by it's last owner and doesn't seem to trust anybody." The old man smiled as he'd finally gotten more than a couple of words out of him.

"You can call me AJ." Andreas looked at AJ for a moment, "I'm Andreas." He spoke through a thin smile as he looked out on his Pokémon once more.

"We're here!"

Andreas had grown hungry far before lunch time, so the all out picnic for competitors and spectators alike had been a sight for sore eyes and stomachs. The young trainer's plate was stacked with so much it looked fit to collapse, his eyes as big as his stomach as he made his way along the tables.

“Can you hand me that scooper?”

He looked at the girl he had come shoulder to shoulder with a blank expression, a plate of food stacked high in one hand, his other dangerously close to hers. Taking a step aside Andreas picked up the serving spoon, "Yeah, sure." He spoke and handed it out for her. "Here you are." He scooted around her other side and continued to look at the food, glancing momentarily back at the girl before adding to the plate.

-I'm fine with thread or PM with a preference to thread. I don't do anything off site at the moment for convenience.
-I'm not working currently other than some commissioned stuff so I am usually around. I try to lead a active lifestyle though so am often not around a few days out of the week until evening. Sometimes I might be away over the weekend and now without a phone won't be able to reply but I will let you know first.
-I can make daily posts and like to be as active as possible in a role play but I can work around schedules as well.
-I play mostly males, I can play females but don't usually do romance when playing a female role.
-I'm a male, 22, also been role playing on forums since 12, actually started out on the RuneScape Forums I think :P Harry Potter is good!
