We Are All Pokemon Trainers Discussion

Zeal - I suppose not, but that was planned since Thunderstorm was originally Rain+.

Bitty -

Agree with Zeal's logic re: Castform forms

Also a windy weather that's a poor man's Delta Stream might be cool.

Anyone besides Umbra and Crow know if they wanna participate in my media arc?

Not to interrupt Swift, but two things:

PC or Mac

So, I should probably clarify that aside from certain subplots (like Locke and co.'s "trapped in the AU" subplot), I'm going to be primarily focusing on a third set of P Cs for when Project Multipath Traveller and The Entralink Is Done With Your Shit kick in. Unlike Operation Legacy I have decided who all of them will be from the start:

• Jackie

• Neon

• Jean

• Gabe

• [MINOR SPOILERS]

• [MAJOR SPOILERS]

I think they're gonna be called Team Jackie or something. And I will also note that [MINOR SPOILERS] is fun while [MAJOR SPOILERS] is    fun   .

Naturally, I'm still going to want my other P Cs and characters to be up to stuff, so if you have a subplot idea in mind plop it here or poke me about it and I'll probably throw someone your way. Also still looking for people to interact with Team Locke during their stay in the AU so poke me about that too. And on that note I'm probably gonna make a chart for keeping track of who goes in which plots, so keep an eye out for that once I need other people's help.

Anyway, on a less rambly note:

Halloween Jumpstart-scare

Is it OK if me and Tangent use Halloween or at least the week of as the start of The Entralink Is Done With Your Shit shenanigans? The J-Team's involvement won't have to start with it if people aren't ready by then (though I certainly hope we at least start E4 challenges by then), but me and Tangent had a kickoff in mind that would be fun to do on Halloween.

But yeah, thoughts on all this?

I'd be cool with the second thing

@Rabbids: Count me in.

@Entralink II: Electric Boogaloo: I'm fine with starting on Halloween.

Totally cool with Halloween shenanigans. Halloween!

18 PCs? You sir, are ambitious, and I love it.

And I would be willing to throw AU!Shaun and AU!Elizabeth at Locke and Co.

@Entralink 2 - Halloween's cool.

Halloween shenanigans should be fun.

OK, on another topic after some talking with the chat mods I maaaaaay have rewritten a section of the tone essay!

Tone Essay Patch 4: It Makes Sense In Context

[insert normal essay up until this particular point here]

Robin: How so?

Alduin: <Well, generally speaking, we usually like to stick to humans or Pokemon when it comes to actual characters in the RP. However, when experimenting with anything more out there in either category or beyond, there's one thing you should always keep in mind:>

-Rainbow between the headhands and over the head-

<CONTEXT!>

Robin: What do you mean?

Alduin: <Well, I COULD use you, but I need you more later, so...> -calling out- <Gino! Bring in the vampire!>

-Gino enters, dragging in a pale-skinned, dark-haired young woman-

Gino: <Here she is, nyan!>

Random Female Vampire: Wait, what is this? Are you finally letting me in?

Gino: -To Alduin- <She's been bugging me about getting in on the RP for ages, but vampires aren't human or Pokemon! Well, maybe kind of human, but...>

Vampire: Human enough!

Alduin: <Hmm, the thing is, we need you to make sense in the context of the RP's setting! So by itself a vampire out of vampireland isn't gonna cut it!>

Vampire: Hrm, point...

Alduin: <Buuuut there are powers in the RP that can resemble vampirism if used in a certain way! Maybe you eventually have one of those!>

Vampire: Oooh, good idea!

Alduin: <Not immediately, we gotta see if you can be trusted with that and if you won't derail the setting, but it's a start!>

Vampire: Fair enough.

Robin: So you can do unusual things, but only so long as you have an in-universe justification that makes sense?

Alduin: Yep! You can't just throw in things like vampires or supermons or robots or robots that create supermons or Legendary eggs or the Latest Trend In Media™ without making sure they make sense in-universe somehow and don't set things too off course, preferably with the help of other players! And you certainly won't be able to pull that off if you're new! But if you stick around and learn the ropes, who knows what you can pull off! The RP's done some crazy crossovers that were still grounded in-universe and didn't destabilize things! Though, speaking of the universe and residents thereof:>

-deep breath-

But thoughts?

This is good.

Random Vampire Girl's finally getting her chance.

Yep! :P

Silent's thoughts

@Silent: Eeeeecellent points! Made a few minor edits, and applying this to the essay and the Signup thread if there are no objections

So, I've got a few plans for the Entralink arc-Joseph, for instance, will go through a sort of reimagination of The Odyssey, while Kirsten will go through something like Hotline Miami (but not exactly like it due to, y'know, that sort of thing).

But those two arcs would just be me writing stuff without interacting with other people, which means that in the spirit of the arc I've come up with an idea for an actual multiplayer things-happening arc-based on Cuphead!

I haven't worked out all the details, but I've decided a few things:

• It will involve either Pokeform'd humans, their mons, or a combination of the two.

• There will be no more than two or three peoplemons fighting a given boss at the same time. A good number of people can join the plot, and everyone will get to take part in at least one boss fight, but I don't want this to turn into a bunch of unload-on-a-boss-for-ten-posts fights. So, in keeping with the game's frenetic spirit, it'll be like that.

• And, of course, it'll be ball-bustingly hard. :3

Any people interested?

I might be! I need more subplots to throw characters at anyway

I'd be up for it, Dogs.

Hmm...I may be up for this.

COMISSION DUMP TIME

All nice art.

I really like Zumi's, though.

edited 19th Oct '17 2:19:53 PM by SwiftSeraph

Thanks! Zumi's is the most recent of this batch. Her hair clip's modeled after Tapu Lele since she's Native Alolan.

On a similar note Gina's [ARABIC] (aside from the hair and eyes obviously) and her "crown" is modeled after the symbol inside a Psychium Z.

Female!Kars is bae.

I'm probably going to leave the RP.

Aw, well whatever the reason, I wish you the best with your decision.
