I saw a combination of Christian and patheon religions are in order.

Arceus is the main creator Pokemon, and all the other Legendaries being its "angels", with primary worship going to Arceus and the angels getting various levels of worship but NEVER more than Arceus.

Yes you can. There's already someone playing as the former Gray Knight.

Also two questions.

Not sure on the idea, but yeah, there might be a chance Mewtwo will be in the RPG, though with a vastly different origin. Probably via botched alchemy. Make your own Full Metal Alchemist joke here.

Yeah. People view Arceus the same way Ponies view Celestia. "As Arceus is my witness, I will never go hungry again!"

Actually, Rain, in this setting, some Legendaries have the power to assume human forms, as seen with the Lake Guardians/Witches in the OP. So it's natural that Arceus and other pokemon also have this power. Not sure if Arceus will be a girl or not yet... Maybe a little boy?

Like Rain said, they're the strange dragons that killed the heirs to the throne. Anyone's reaction to those guys will be "OH SHIT! THE DRAGONS HAVE RETURNED TO FINISH THEIR BUSINESS WITH US!" So if they were any analogue to Jesus, then these people are fearing the Rapture.

And I agree with Rain, move all this stuff to the discussion please.

Not going to show up; the guy is lethal to the extreme.

• Name: Uther Pen Draig
• Age: 97
• Gender: Male
• Job: Retired Knight Leader
• Appearance: He's not a bad person, don't worry.
• Knight Armor: See above.
• Knight Type: Dragon
• Pokémon Partner: Dragonite, Hydreigon, Salamence.
• Personality: Cold and reserved, Uther rarely spares any time for his family—and it's no wonder, that as a result, his successor only knows that she's a Knight Leader and not the correct type. More concerned with administrating the oldest and most inaccessible portion of the Pen Draig family holdings than interaction, hardly anyone ever sees him. Those that do tend to suffer horribly.
• Bio: Gaining his position at a young age, Uther held it for over eighty years and the demands of the job, combined with his own stoicism, have lead him to devote little time to interpersonal relationships. As a result, he gained a reputation as a cynical and intimidating night, showing up only when necessary. Eventually, as his age finally began to catch up to him (though it's still not enough for his son to be greater in combat) he set a series of challenges to choose a successor... that ended up as his granddaughter. He never bothered telling her that her type is Dragon, though.
• Leitmotif:

"Not going to show up..."

Ah. Okay.

@Psyga This was the guy I mentioned earlier. You can use him as an NPC but I can control him instead if you don't want to.

Human sheet

• Name: Lord Ishtar Melmat
• Age: 47 years young my friend! , Forty Eight this year.
• Gender: Male
• Job: Former Knight leader, Now a Vagabond who just wants to see the world one last time.
• Appearance: Blonde hair which is now graying. He wears a basic brown hooded travel cloak, sturdy leather boots, A Brown jerkin and leather breaches, and a carry belt to which a crimson long sword is attached standard exploring gear really. The sword is of a one sided crimson blade, With a golden handle with black leather grip. It has an amethyst set into the pommel bellow the grip. This sword was given to him when he became the crimson knight and as such it is an important memento and treasure for him.
• Pokémon Partner: Daedalus the Alakazam all his other partners are either with the knights under the crimson knight for training, deceased or let free
• Personality: A friendly, jovial, happy go lucky kind off guy. He is prone to moments of seriousness and it is during these moments that it can be seen how he earned the title of Crimson Knight. These moments however are scarce and rarely last for an extended period of time, it's mainly seen when he is battling.
• Bio: A man who was once counted as a good friend to the current crimson knight whom he trained personally before handing over his title to them. When he was in his late thirties he suffered a sword wound to his gut from which he never really recovered the fact that he survived was a miracle that he even survived the wound. Over the next several years he contracted a mysterious illness which unbeknownst to most was slowly killing him. When several years later a young man came to study under him with the ambition of earning his title he trained him until one day he saw fit to pass on this title. He left to head to a distant continent having heard stories of men who could manipulate the power of Aura the very life force of the world and desired to meet them. Being told that his life would soon expire by these wise men he has started a return journey to Crimena to say goodbye to his friends and family and give his farewell to his king (He hasn't heard about the king's death yet). More than anything he just wants to die on the soil of his motherland.

Pokemon Sheet

• Pokémon’s Species: Alakazam
• Pokémon’s Nickname: Deadalus
• Pokémon’s Age: 47 Years
• Pokémon’s Gender: Male
• Pokémon’s Moves: Recover,Teleport, Psychic, Focus Blast
• Pokémon’s Personality: He pride's himself on his wisdom and knowledge yet is able to accept his idea's and plan's going awry. He is generally easy to approach and is far more calm than his partner. He tends to try to give advice to those that he considers "Children" when this happens it's easier to ignore what he's saying.
• Pokémon’s Bio: Given as an egg to the new born Ishtar Melmat as per family tradition. Hatching when he was only a few weeks old the two of them are more like brothers than anything. He has stayed together with Ishtar their entire lives and as such they have formed a bond that is closer than most will ever achieve. When Ishtar sustained his gut wound it was Daedalus who nursed him back to health franticly trying everything that he could think of. A part of him died when he found out Ishtar was dying and now wants to help him fulfil his dying wish. If you ask him or Ishtar he named himself after something he read in a book as "A name gives one a true identity".

Hope that's okay.

Yeah. I think that's okay. Accepted.

Awesome! Thank you!

Well, let's see how a Tacitus Expy (read: a warrior-historian Badass Bookworm) will do. Signup will be up shortly.

Human

• Name: Gaius Cornelius Tacitus.
• Age: 36.
• Gender: Male.
• Job: Tacitus is a professional soldier and administrator; in his free time he writes the history of the kingdom.
• Appearance: Onwards for the Kingdom!
• Pokemon partner: Divum the Umbreon.
• Personality: Tacitus is a stern, quiet person. He prefers action to words, but will not act until he is satisfied of his actions' consequences. He isn't a hesitant person, but sometimes his patience and thoroughness causes people to mistake him for one.
  He is hard to befriend, but stout and loyal once befriended; he also deeply cares about his Pokemon, being a stern but fair and loving master.
• Bio: From birth, Gaius Conrelius was destined to become a soldier; his father was a veteran commander, and he trained him from a young age. He joined the kingdom's army at the age of 16, and rose steadily through the ranks until he became a captain of the cavalry. After a neighbouring kingdom suffered an uprising and asked for help, he and his company were sent to put it down; they stayed there for six long years. There he took the position of, for lack of a better word, general administrator and troubleshooter for a small region.
  When the king was murdered, he left his second-in-command Gnaeus Julius Argicola in charge and returned to the kingdom of Harmonium, wanting to stop the civil war from happening. Alas, he was too late and by the time he arrived it had already begun. So now he wanders the kingdom, seeking a Knight whose claim for the throne he could support.
• Leitmotif: this.

Pokemon

• Species: Umbreon.
• Nickname: Divum.
• Age: 22.
• Gender: female.
• Moves:
  • Faint Attack
  • Confuse Ray
  • Shadow Ball
  • Protect
• Personality: Much like Tacitus, Divum is stern and quiet. She is also a perfectionist, and will push herself too hard sometimes. She is extremely loyal to Tacitus and will protect him at all costs.
• Bio: Divum is the daughter of Tacitus's father's Espeon and his mother's Eevee. Form birth she was supposed to be Tacitus's partner, and she spent all of her life with him.

Accepted. And I guess I should drop some of the knights that have dropped out.

The Knights that are free are:

• White Knight (Normal)
• Red Knight (Fighting)
• Indigo Knight (Flying)
• Brown Knight (Ground)
• Violet Knight (Ghost)
• Purple Knight (Dragon)

Yosh. A question: Can he have a Ponyta/Rapidash as a mount? He's a captain of the cavalry after all.

Okay.

Alright. I've started the Archive Binge and will post an OP as soon as I finish it.

Actually, I'm being indecisive. Can you keep the seat warm for me?

Alright.

I'm not keeping the reservation, though there is a slim chance of suddenly popping with a signup if it won't be taken by that time.

I'll be reserving the Violet Knight (Ghost) if I can. Will write a character sheet as soon as I can.

This is dead for what, a month? More?

Yeah... I apologize for the deadness of it. Not even sure how it happened.

Usually when some players leave and the GM does not care enough RPs just peter out. I'm all in for a faster-paced reboot, though.

Yeah. I'm considering rebooting too with a more basic premise, because I began to build the Medieval Pokemon World in my head and figured that the fight to the death would be just the first act. If I ever reboot this, it would skip past that.

Kewl. I was never really big on it anyways.

Yeah, I'm interested if it's gonna start again. I found this sing-up and I'm a bit new to Tvtroopes forum so I didn't even see the time the last post was posted.

Timestamps are to the right of the poster's name.

I think what contributed most to this RP being inactive was this being the thread that finally perma-banned THREE noteworthy forumers.

... I could have sworn that it was another thread, ran by one of them, that did 'em in. But enough dwelling on the past. I'm probably going to rework the RPG today.
