@PlatinumSkink Here's Rory!

Rory O'Dowd

Rory O'Dowd

Appearance:
Rory stands at a tall 5'11", making him taller than the average 16 year old. This, however, gives him a good advantage when swimming, as he is able to swim more powerfully. Due to his years of swimming, he has a toned body. Rory has short black hair that doesn't require any styling, he just lets it go how it wants.

Rory usually wears a T-shirt, with a black and red jacket over it if it might rain, or it is cold. In warm weather, he wears shorts with his T-shirt, and wears jeans when it is cold. With these, he wears trainers.

Rory is almost always accompanied by one or more of his pokémon walking with him, out of their pokéball(s).

Age:
16

Gender:
Male

Personality:
At first, Rory can seem a bit introverted, possibly even rudely so, but he is in fact a wallflower. Once you get to know Rory, you'll find out that he's a friendly, sporty guy, who loves swimming, especially with his friends and pokémon. Whilst he usually doesn't go out of his way to make new friends, he'll certainly become friends with people who talk to him first.

Hometown:
LaRousse City, Hoenn (now living in Highhill Town, Isson)

Background:
Rory was born to a pokemon trainer father, and a pokemon contest winner mother. Being the middle of three children, however, caused Rory to spend a lot of his time on his own, and he went to the beach a lot, swimming most of the time with water pokemon such as Wailmer, Marill, and Barboach, as well as the occasional ice type pokemon. It was through this that he developed his love of ice and water type pokemon.

At the age of 14, Rory's parents decided that, whilst the hustle and bustle of LaRousse City was nice, they fancied a change, and decided to move to Highhill town, in Issen. It is here that they opened up their Pokemon ranch, where abandoned pokemon are free to live. Along with swimming in the nearby stream, Rory helped out on the ranch, which allowed him to gain knowledge of many pokemon. With his parents retired, and his older brother and younger sister travelling, Professor Kalmia decided that Rory would be a good choice of a trainer to give a pokedex, given his pre-knowledge.

Kind of Pokémon you like:
Rory loves any water or ice type pokemon, and any other pokemon who are willing to swim with him, though they may not be able to keep up with him!

Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other:
Rory still isn't sure if he would rather battle in gym battles or pokemon contests, but he is sure that he loves pokemon!
Working on the ranch for the past two years has allowed him to make a lot of food for the pokemon, and the occasional human visitor, and he's got quite good cooking skills.
Rory loves to walk with his pokemon outside of his pokeballs.
Given the opportunity to swim, Rory will always take it.

I totally didn't get so distracted that I watched all of Destiny Deoxys.

@PlatinumSkink Hi, is it too late to join this? If it's not, is there anywhere that the trainers will be reaching soon so I can conveniently drop into their group?

Mike

Name: Mike

Age: Appears around 19-21, really around 115-117

Family Role: Uncle

Appearance:

Mike and Paul are around 5'11", and are slim. They have some muscle, but they're not too muscular. They both wear clothes that go down to their wrists, and usually (definitely when they think they might touch someone with their hands) wear gloves. Sometimes they're leather, sometimes woollen. They wear jeans that go down all the way to their trainers.

Placement and Design of Contract Seal: Mike's contract seal is two marigold flowers tied together at the stems, on his left foot.

History and Abilities: Mike and Paul are identical twins, born to a wealthy family in London, around 1900. They both went to a private school, where they learned a lot, and also both gained an interest in music. However, they both decided to become doctors, and went to university in London. This allowed them to conscription in World War Two. Unfortunately, they didn't manage to get to an air raid centre in time during on night of the Blitz, and were both on the brink of death, lying next to each other. However, they both woke up, with no memory of any their lives, other than their names and the knowledge that they were identical twins, in a room with each other, and a man they did not recognise (although they wouldn't recognise anyone at this point). He explained the them that he was a memory feeder, a type of demon that feeds on the memories of others, whenever they touch anyone who isn't another memory feeder, even when they don't want to. He also told them that he found them on the ground, and decided to turn them into memory feeders too, making them immortal, and saving them from death. This, however, required a great deal of energy, which he gained by absorbing Mike and Paul's memories of their entire lives. Knowing that, if they were discovered, they would never be able to touch their families again, Mike and Paul fled London, and were presumed dead. Since then, they have been roaming the UK, mostly getting money by performing, or writing music.

Occupation/Work: Mike and Paul work on their music in their bedroom. At least of one of them is in there at a time, either working on music or sleeping.

Personality Traits and Quirks: Mike and Paul are never seen together, unless you go into their room, which they don't like anyone doing. However, they can be heard practising or writing music, or playing music that they like. Some people aren't even sure that they're two people, and think that it's just one person with a mental disorder.
Mike is the more kind and caring of the twins, and will try and do as much as he can for others (as long as it doesn't involve touching people). He always tries to look his best.

Paul

Name: Paul

Age: Appears around 19-21, really around 115-117

Family Role: Uncle

Appearance:

Mike and Paul are around 5'11", and are slim. They have some muscle, but they're not too muscular.

They wear jeans that go down all the way to their trainers.

Placement and Design of Contract Seal: Paul's contract seal is on his right foot, and is a mirror image of Mike's (two marigold flowers tied together at the stems).

They both went to a private school, where they learned a lot, and also both gained an interest in music. However, they both decided to become doctors, and went to university in London.

Paul doesn't care much for others. Yes, he can form strong, long-lasting relationships with people, but he doesn't go out actively seeking them. He also doesn't attempt to keep his appearance great, either.

Safe and Unsounded

Just waiting to see if my characters are being accepted :)

Safe and Unsounded

@CollectorOfMyst Indeed I am!

@Quoll I was planning on twins who you only ever see one of them at a time, and they're completely identical (or are they just one person? Nobody seems to be sure...). I'd expect more than one other person to think that they're one person who has multiple personalities. Or are they right?

People would only see one at a time, is that idea okay?

Safe and Unsounded

@Quoll I have a character for this, if it's still accepting! I'm thinking of an eccentric uncle (or maybe pair of characters, which I might try something with). It's nearing 1am for me though, so I'll work on it tomorrow morning, and should get it done by the end of the day (I'm off to see a rugby match and I have to get the train).

Is that okay?

To Claim a Starting World

I'll get up a sheet tomorrow too :)

Lughaidh apartments

@Vashonn and @Cat, you're accepted!

Note to all: Don't worry about the theme song if you can't find one :)

Lughaidh apartments

@Cat Of course we are. I believe that there were seven including myself on the interest check, and there's ten flats. If more than ten want to join, I can add another floor or two :)
