Pokemon: Hidden Intentions [Sign Up]

Story:

It has been 12 years since the events of Gold and Silver. (We are going by the merit that Ho-oh and Lugia were optional like in the original, i.e. they're still wild pokemon in this.)

Just now, a new pokemon terrorist group has immersed. They work in the shadows, and not alot of people know alot about them, not even the police. The only thing for certain that's known about this group, is that they referred to their organization as Team Ultima, and the higher ups in the organization use very rare and powerful pokemon. Also unlike other terrorist groups before it, they have no problem using their pokemon to attack not only their foe's pokemon, but the trainer themselves as well. In fact, some of the higher-ups in the team prefer to aim for the trainer from the start.

About 2 years after Team Ultima appeared, a new corporation emerged in Saffron City, known as Starr Corporation. It was founded by a man known as Victor Starr. Soon after it's establishment, Starr Corporation grew like wildfire, making advances in pokemon items, pokemon research, and pokeball technology much faster then their competition, Sliph Co. Just last year, Starr Corporation managed to drive Sliph Co. into extinction. Starr Corporation only used it's money to help sponsor things such as the Goldenrod City Expansion Project, joint-ownership of the Goldenrod Global Trainer Station, and even the Kanto-Jotho Pokemon League itself. Lately however, there has been claims that some pokemon placed up for trading in the Goldenrod Global Trainer Station have gone missing, but all the police investigations on the matter failed to turn up anything, either due to lack of permission to investigate further into the Station due to Starr Corporation's influence, or because the police themselves mysteriously vanished while looking into the case, or were paid off by Starr Corporation to cease the investigation.

All while it seems Starr Corporation is slowly trying to get all of the major industries on it's side, Team Ultima is still very active and strong in the shadows...it seems like it's just waiting to make it's move, but what is it's purpose? Some rumors going around claim the team is trying to capture the legendary birds in order to weaponize them to make a unbeatable army, some claim that the team is trying to cause a war between Johto and Kanto in order to try and rise up amidst the chaos, and others claim that it's actually a secret pokemon cartel that first sells off shines and other rare pokemon to sponsor their activities and to slowly make their way into the governments of the world, controlling it from the inside out. Will the true intentions of both imposing forces be revealed in time?

That was the opening plot for this RP, the first act will take place in Goldenrod City. Don't worry, we will be hitting other cities and areas as the RP continues.

Rules:

- Standard rules, no godmodding and the like

- You can be either good or bad if you'd like, or even one of the higher-ups of Team Ultima (Like have a Commander class or something), but all of the Admins will be played by me.

- You can also be something other then a Trainer, like a Pokemon Ranger or the like. If you have another idea for what your character will be, run it by me via PM, and most likely I'll accept it.

- Try and keep OOC and stuff in this thread, which I will make along with the main RP thread after at least 5 people sign up for this.

- If you do join, TRY TO BE ACTIVE SO THAT THE REST OF US DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOU. If you are inactive for a long time, we will continue onwards in the RP without you.

- One user can have more then one character to use in the RP, but the maximum number of characters per user is 6...but I'm allowed to go over for story reasons. =P

History: Chris isn't like most pokemon trainers. Instead of just blindly going off into the world at the age of 10, he attended Goldenrod University, where he did a 6-year education to earn his bachelor's degree AND to learn about how the world works. He started his pokemon journey at the age of 16, 4 years before the appearance of Team Ultima. However, he got his starter pokemon before then. It was when he was taking stroll through Route 35 during his final year in university when he found a near death Shiny Charmander. He nursed it back to health and got close to it. So it was that Charmander became his starter. He then traveled Johto to become a trainer and to assemble his team. He is currently living in Goldenrod, a bit uneasy about the Starr Corporation influence that's heavy over Goldenrod, and fearing for his Charizard's (his Charmander became a Charizard through experience during the travels through Johto) safety, seeing as it's a shiny one, and how it seems rare pokemon like that are being stolen nowaday. He doesn't trust Starr Corporation and plans on trying to find the truth behind the matter one of these days...

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Rank: Admin of Team Ultima

Appearance: Jack is a tall white man at 6 feet, he has bright blonde hair with green eyes. His normal street clothes is normally just an average pokemon league shirt you can buy at the pokemon league gatherings and a pair of either jeans that are shorts, or jeans that are pants depending on the weather.

Personality: At first he's very nice and ongoing to everyone he meets, but when he's all business for the Team, his nice and kind facade changes into a very dark and menacing persona that's not afraid to get himself dirty with the really dirty jobs or to do what it takes to advance the goals of Team Ultima. Due to this, it's unknown which side is the true Jack..the Kind Trainer, or the Menacing Monster...

History: Not much is known about Jack, but he started his pokemon journey in Hoenn. He was always in love with Mawile, seeing as it perfectly matched his personality. He spent days upon days in Victory Road, trying to catch a shiny Mawile. He never gave up, and even unleashed his menacing persona, violently beating down all the pokemon he encountered in Victory Road with no problem while searching for the shiny Mawile. After a month in Victory Road, he found the Shiny Mawile. Maybe by fate, the Mawile was also bullying the other pokemon in Victory Road, somewhat calling out to Jack. Once he cleared the Hoenn Pokemon League, he came over to Johto where his tenancy and personality did not go unnoticed by Leader Nova. Nova itself came before Jack in a Team Ultima Cloak and offered Jack the position of Commander to start out. Jack accepted and quickly rose to one of the 4 Admins due to his outstanding work. After a year of being one of the Admins, Jack is now heading toward Goldenrod City, where Team Ultima already bought him a house down there, to try and expand operations in Goldenrod so that that area of Johto would also have Ultima agents planted among other things planned for the area...

Interested. I'll come up with an idea later today.

Also, you might want to fix the bios. They're all unreadable paragraphs right now.

Oops....well, tried to fixed them.

Here we go. Might make a sister to this character later. Probably. I guess it depends on how the story goes.

• Name: Alex White
• Age: 14
• Gender: Male
• Good/Bad/Neutral: Good
• Rank (If needed): N/A
• Appearance: Such a pretty boy.
• Personality: At first glance, he's the opposite of energetic and motivated, practically going through the motions of a journey around Johto. Mostly because he doesn't care much about Pokemon training at all, and is really only doing so because the constant comparisons to his older sister annoyed him into (reluctant) action. He doesn't hate Pokemon, Alex just isn't fond of battling. Aside from his lack of motivation, he's easy to fluster, and very easy to annoy when compared to his aforementioned sister, an aspiring gym leader.
• History: Led a lazy life in New Bark Town for most of his life, until he decided to travel just to get away from the criticisms. As such, he's slowly made his way to Goldenrod City, and is considering just going back home.

• Pokemon:
  • Chikorita (Chi Chi, Female)
  • Tackle, Razor Leaf, Poison Powder, Synthesis
  • A surprisingly aggressive Pokemon that strives to prove its strength. As such, it typically acts excited in place of its trainer.

  • Vulpix (Makoto, Female)
  • Ember, Roar, Quick Attack, Fire Spin
  • A Pokemon that's very protective of its trainer, to the point of clinginess. It's not a powerful battler, however.

  • Aipom (Hans, Male)
  • Scratch, Sand-Attack, Astonish, Tickle
  • A Pokemon that likes to play pranks, a habit not helped by Alex's lazy nature preventing him from reigning Hans' antics in.

Name:Patrick Smith

Age:21

Gender:Male

Good/Bad/Neutral:Neutral

Rank (If needed):N/a

Appearance:Hope this works

Personality:Patrick at times seems to be aloof and sarcastic, finding no better entertainment than to play jokes on people. Once someone gets to know him, he is a very warm and compassionate person to his friends, and especially to his pokemon...but he has a bit of a mean streak to him, more than willing to fight dirty if the situation calls for it

History: Pat has led a happy, if somewhat immodest life in Jubilife city. Feeling a stirring for adventure like he had never felt before, he has decided to travel abroad and make an attempt at conquering the Gyms of every Region. His adventurous spirit has currently led him to Johto, and Goldenrod City

Pokemon(Maximum of six pokemon. List thier moves, names, gender, and the like):

Riolu(Aaron-Female) Force Palm,Brick Break,Shadow Claw,Return Spinda(Spinz-Male) Fling, Return, Last Resort, Covet

Alex and Patrick are accepted, welcome aboard!

...now to hope more people join... XD

• Name: Jamie Duncan
• Age: 16
• Gender: Female
• Good/Bad/Neutral: Good
• Rank: Pokemon Trainer
• Appearance: Jamie is short and stocky. She has tanned skin, brown eyes, and long brown hair that's generally braided or held in a ponytail. She wears a pair of bright red glasses, and is nearly blind without them. She can usually be found wearing some variation of jeans and a hoodie, and is never seen without her green backpack and Pokeball belt.
• Personality: Jamie's a glass half full kind of gal. If there's a problem, there must be a solution; she just has to find it. She's very pragmatic and is always trying to be unconventional and think outside the box. She's very loyal to her friends and family, and has absolute faith that her team can get her through anything. Jamie is a very outgoing person, willing to walk up to anyone and start a conversation (usually by saying something along the lines of "Your Pokemon/bag/watch is neat"), or a battle if they so choose. While she will never give up on a problem right in front of her, she's easily distracted from the long term.
• History: Jamie loves a good challenge, and the Gym challenge seemed right up her alley—and living in the town of Ecruteak, where better to start than by challenging Morty? Jamie challenged the local gym leader for the first time using her mom's Pokemon, an Abra. Without any idea what she was doing, she ended up losing terribly. Refusing to give up, she decided that the best solution to beating Morty would be with type advantage, so she would become a Dark type specialist. Her father supported her decision and for her first Pokemon of her very own, she received a Sneasel, the daughter of her father's own Weavile. Naming her Carrie, Jamie trained her Pokemon for months before taking on Morty again with just her, and... lost again. Realizing that maybe battling the Gym leader with a single Pokemon might not have been the best idea, Jamie decided that she would catch another. She did her research, and on a visit to her aunt's house, caught a Houndour. Deciding that surely now she could defeat Morty, Jamie returned home and trained hard until the Houndour, Elysia, evolved. Together with Elysia and Carrie, Jamie finally prevailed over Morty, and set out to challenge the rest of the gyms. Before she left, her father gave her a Murkrow egg and a Fly HM, so she could always come home. Well, Jamie traveled Johto for about a year, hatching and soon after evolving her Murkrow, and eventually catching a Corphish (she wasn't so sure about it, but the Internet assured her it evolved into a Dark type), and not challenging any gyms at all. At the current time, she's come back to Goldenrod to get back on that whole "gym challenge" thing and battle Whitney.
• Pokemon:
  • Carrie the Female Weavile; headstrong and extremely loyal, Carrie is rather battle hungry. She is Carrie's first and most trusted Pokemon, and would do anything for her. Nevertheless, she is not the leader of the team; Carrie does not like responsibility and is more of a follower. She knows the moves Ice Punch, Brick Break, Night Slash, and Swords Dance'.
  • Elysia the Female Houndoom; Elysia is the true leader of the team. All of Jamie's Pokemon look up to her for guidance. Elysia is always calm and is motherly towards the rest of the team, even those that are technically older than her. She's very protective of the other Pokemon, and especially Jamie. She does not take well to being in her Pokeball, and as such is nearly always found glued to Jamie's side. She knows the moves Flamethrower, Dark Pulse, Solar Beam, and Sunny Day. (Note: She learned them all as TMs, so she isn't that great with any of them)
  • Hermes the Male Honchkrow; Hermes is the youngest member of the team. He's always excited and happy about something, and it's a rare thing to see him not chattering on. He's something of a spazz and a klutz in battle, but always tries his best regardless. He likes to test himself and is always looking to improve. Unfortunately, he's also something of a coward, and not all that smart. He knows the moves Fly, Night Shade, Pursuit, and Protect.
  • Megan the Female Corphish; Megan is the only unevolved member of Jamie's team, and keenly aware of it. She is desperate to get stronger and evolve—and, incidentally, gain the Dark subtype that will let her fit in with the rest of the team. Though she isn't actually looked down on for it, she is convinced that everyone thinks less of her because she isn't a Dark type. Megan craves approval, and will do anything to get it. She knows the moves Leer, Vicegrip, Surf, and Taunt.

Jamie is accepted, welcome aboard!

If no one else joins tomorrow, I'll start the RP and just have it still open for those who want to join.

He's dead, Jim

If I were to make a signup sheet, would that revive this, or would I be beating a dead Ponyta?

edited 17th Nov '13 1:33:18 PM by Eskay64

Probably not likely to revive this. It's been dead for over six months and the RP never actually started.

THREAD LOCKED.
