Re: Vampires: The weremons thing is a distinct case, with a pretty big amount of backing and building up. As is psychic and similar, which are in fact backed by canon sources. This is a lot more...sudden, as it were, and consequently I'm not feeling it as a concept.

In addition to this, I'm inclined to agree with Wolf. Even if vampirism is accepted as a thing in WAAPT, using it as backstory instead of development strikes me as uninteresting.

tl;dr: Voting no on the vampirism.

I'm going to say that I put Morrigan's vampirism as her backstory because I didn't want it to define her - she has other traits, too. Secondly, I'm pretty confidant I can try not to make her clichéd and passé.

Sorry, but I think enough people are iffy or not fond of the concept that it would be better to change it.

Are you sure there's no way to make it work?

Perhaps you could give her a vampire motif but not actually be a vampire.

Hell you could have her claim she's a vampire when in reality she's not.

You're gonna have to changer her backstory either way.

I'll change the backstory. she'll be goth.

Excellent!

Alright, since most of the issues seem to have had their kinks worked out, I'll start the test.

Pen's test

You are ambushed by a hungry Luxray that wants you as its meal! What do you do?

Morrigan tenses up. "Oh sweet David Bowie on a stick what do I do." she blurts out. HABIT gives her his usual follow-my-lead stare. <COULD YOU PLEASE KINDLY NOT EAT ME AND MY COLLEAGUES?> he attempts to negotiate.

Pen's test

-The Luxray stares at HABIT, not answering him-

Luxray:<Food...> -pounces and attacks with Thunder Fang-

<RUN.> HABIT shouts. Morrigan and HABIT abscond as fast as they possibly can. "And how did this happen to me, of all people?" Morrigan sighs.

Pen's test

-The Luxray gives chase, using Thunder Wave to try and slow them down-

Morrigan and HABIT screech to a halt. "HABIT, use Shadow Ball!" Morrigan roars. <WITH PLEASURE.> HABIT smirks.

Pen's Test

-The Shadow Ball hits the Luxray, knocking it backwards as it falls down. He gets back up, and continues chasing them-

Luxray:<FOOD GET BACK HERE!> -Uses Discharge-

Morrigan begins to smile the creepiest smile she's done in a while. "HABIT?" she inquires. <YEAH? WHAT IS IT?> he responds. "Use Curse." Morrigan nearly growls.

It's probably a good idea to have them react to the Luxray's attacks.

Pen's Test

-The Luxray is afflicted by the Curse, and ends up tripping-

Ah. Sorry.

HABIT recoils from the Discharge attack. <DAMN, THAT HURTS.> HABIT hisses.

Pen's Test

-The Luxray gets up and goes for one last attack by charging at HABIT and Morrigan with Wild Charge-

"HABIT, return!" Morrigan shouts, pulling out HABIT's Pokéball. In one fluid motion, she pulls out another Pokéball and sends out a Gyarados. "LET'S RAISE SOME HELL, TYRAIN! DRAGON PULSE!" Morrigan barks.

Pen's Test

-As the Luxray gets near them with Wild Charge, the Dragon Pulse slams into him, sending him flying. He hits the ground, looks around, and decides to find another meal-

Luxray:<FOOD...FOOD...>

And that's the end of the test. Barring any issues, you're welcome to start posting. It's recommended that you check out the chatroom or discussion thread to get yourself oriented.

Squit jumps back, dodging only a few of the razor leafs before getting pelleted by the others.-

Pana: Squit! One final attempt! Water pulse!

Squit jumps up and charges towards Tropis. Once close, a massive wave of water emits from the shell, hoping to pummel the pokemon-

(Sorry for vanishing.)

It's fine.

Pana's Test

-Squit's Water Pulse hits the Tropius, taking out its remaining HP. It falls over, KO'd-

And that's it. Nobody else is really awake right now, so I don't know if anyone else had anything to say(assuming they didn't). Feel free to drop by the chat or the Discussion thread to help get yourself oriented.

Okay, I think I've got everything sorted out, so here goes nothing! Pyrrhic Pyroar

Timezone: Pacific Daylight Time, -7? I always get confused trying to figure out how my timezone relates to the rest of the world :p

Name: Blitz

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Appearance: Short dark brown hair, brown/green eyes. Blitz can usually be found wearing a grey T-shirt, blue jeans and work boots.

Personality: Fun loving but fairly laid back. Life at the day care usually isn't too exciting, but as long as everyone is happy and healthy that suits him just fine.

Organizations: None, unless you count the family's day-care

Origin: Hoenn region.

Back story: Pretty quiet really, Blitz has spent the majority of his time either at his family's daycare or out of town running some sort of errand. By the age of 10 dreams being a champion abounded and Blitz was eagerly looking forward to receiving his first pokemon, when the day finally arrived he was surprised to be given not a pokeball, but and egg. His parents explained that the most important thing for any trainer was how you raised your pokemon and your relationship with them, and the best way to learn how to do that was to start from the beginning. So instead of rushing off to the forest with a fist full of pokeballs Blitz spent the next few months hatching, raising and training his Growlithe. Eventually Blitz decided that while adventures and champion battles might be pretty exciting, his skills were probably better suited to working at the daycare to help others on their own adventures and providing a safe environment for young trainers and pokemon to get started.

— Mons —

Species: Growlithe (Starter)

Nick: Ammon

Gender: Male

Ability: Intimidate

Bio: Blitz's starter, hatched and raised at the daycare. Loyal and dependable, he prides himself on his responsibility to protect the daycare.

-

Species: Aron

Nick: Stark

Gender: Male

Ability: Sturdy

Bio: Found one day, in the shed, EATING A BOX OF SCRAPS!!! Nobody really knows where he wandered in from, but he's been part of the family ever since he ate his way through the fence. Stark can be very stubborn when he puts his head to something.

Looks good to me. Although question, is "the family's daycare" meant to be the canon one on the route between Mauville and Verdanturf, or just a nonspecific one that doesn't exist in the games? I personally don't mind either way but other people might prefer it be a noncanon one.
