Agreed. That said, now I'm terrified what would make this an important question (terrified in a good way, of course! :P)

Re: Evan

4 at a time for the Omniband'd be silly. And... re: different opinions of Pokemon and human focus, I had the Pokemon team thing as a concern in the back of my head, but given how you put things, yeah, fair, I can see why we'd differ on that point, but I'll try and keep in mind that's how you feel about things~

I feel like one thing that'll end up interesting, depending in how we do this, is if someone else uses the band, then how they'll be like with it compared to how Evan is.

Re: Infinite Energy

I'm cool with that.

I'm cool with both Evan and humans having some Infinity Energy potential but less than mons. (For the latter I assume it's tied to individual Aura/life force anyway)

Taking a break again, this time to get my plans for my characters together and get some fanfic writing done. Most Discord servers will be muted but you can still reach me by DM as well as Skype and Pidgin. I'll be back once I make significant progress on both things. and will be intermittently available for low-key R Ping, special events, or just when needed.

Okay, I know I'm late to the party when it comes to villains, but I present for your approval two Mobius characters who I may or may not end up doing anything with!

Paracelsus, Mobius Moderator

  • Name: Paracelsus (or "Cel" to her non-existent friends)
  • Age: 24
  • Gender: Female
  • Ethnicity: Native (Navajo)
  • Appearance: Cel is hardly the picture of perfect health. Her skin has an unnatural pallor to it, and her dark, stringy hair would make the girl from The Ring jealous. However, this is all normally hidden by a bulky blue-and-white hazard suit styled on a plague doctor's robes, with the mask to match.
  • Organisational Ties: Moderator of the Mobius Society.
  • Region of Origin: Phenac City, Orre
  • Background: Cel is a toxicologist and medical officer working for the Mobius Society - though following their alliance with Team Iron, she has been spending an increasing amount of time at Iron's more permanent facilities. The child of two Orran doctors, she studied medicine in her home city of Phenac before a family tragedy led her to work with Mobius. She doesn't get out much, though this is understandable considering that she suffers from a veritable smorgusboard of medical conditions, including a weakened immune system and extreme photosensitivity. She's not really cut out for field work.

Cel's Pokemon

  • Species: Chimecho
  • Gender: Female
  • Bio: Being Cel's starter, Chimecho has been with her trainer since childhood, and is acutely aware of how easily even the slightest ailment can lay her low. As such, she is obsessed with cleanliness to a degree that even Cel occasionally finds excessive.

  • Species: Tentacruel
  • Gender: Male
  • Bio: Of all Cel's mons, Tentacruel is the one who most enjoys a fight. He gets restless cooped up in the lab and is often itching for any excuse to rub someone the wrong way.

  • Species: Venomoth
  • Gender: Female
  • Bio: Venomoth is lazy, but not in the traditional sense. She just thinks it'd be so much easier if everything in the world was just... still. Still, and perfect, and beautiful. Don't ask to see her bug collection.

Gus, Mobius Intern

  • Name: Gus
  • Age: Too old for this shit (aka early 20s)
  • Gender: Male
  • Ethnicity: Black
  • Appearance: Done with your bullshit, and especially done with these stupid inspirational shirts.
  • Organisational Ties: Intern at the Mobius Society, much to his eternal chagrin.
  • Region of Origin: Anville Town, Unova
  • Backstory: Gus doesn't want to be here. In fact, let's not beat around the bush, he'd rather give a Hydreigon a haircut than be here. He hates everything about Mobius - the people, the boss, and particularly the dumbass dress code. But it was this or his dad's burger joint, and honestly, fuck that place. Recently he's been working as something of an unofficial assistant to Cel, partly because that lab needs someone who isn't a goddamn hypochondriac and partly because Cel's the only person in this freaking society that doesn't make him want to puke up his stomach lining.

Gus's Pokemon

  • Species: Durant
  • Gender: Female
  • Bio: Unlike her trainer, Durant is chipper, has an excellent work ethic, and just wants to make friends. Too bad she doesn't really get the chance with Gus being the seething ball of anger and negativity that he is.

Trans rights are human rights. JK Rowling preaches hate. If you sit at a table with five bigots and say nothing, there are now six bigots.

Oh, questions re: Magic Mirror 2: I’m thinking of trying to get it started within a week or two. so

1) Who’s interested?

A) Would those interested mind if different parts get potentially spaced out some? Not sure if that’s for sure yet, but it might allow for shifts in motivation and people being able to enter/exit easier

Holidays and Next Year's Plot

Clavis Party 2017

Back during the first year I joined (2013!), for the Holiday event Ren sent invitations to the Entire J-Team to come to his Family's house near Goldenrod - and this basically became the "party" for that year - even though I didn't actually expect it to...

At any rate, I am planning for Ren to Propose to Kitsune at the party, and in-universe Ren would like his friends to be there, so for this year's J-Team holiday get together, I'm proposing for the "holiday get together" to happen at the Clavis's main estate in Celadon City.

Note this will be unlikely to happen again as this will be Ren's last year as a member of the main Clavis Family.

2018 Pla— WAIT! WHAT?

Yeah early next year there will be a vote by all the heads of the various branch families in the Clavis Conglomerate for who the next head of the Clavis Family will be - Ren or Martin.

Obviously, Martin will win. This means Ren will no longer have his "Effectively Unlimited Funds" trait he's enjoyed up to now, and Ren will have a year to create a way to provide a source of revenue for the Clavis Conglomerate.

Wow. How is THAT going to happen?

In order to establish this revenue stream, Ren will have to firmly establish himself in the entertainment industry - by finally winning all four major Grand Festivals in one season - and once that's done he'll announce an "entertainment advisory firm".

An "Entertainment Advisory Firm"?

Basically Ren is going to use all his contacts and reputation in the entertainment industries to help advise and secure help for those who need help with matters related to entertainment and media.

Remember those posts where Ren skillfully exposed Sally Morton and ensured any and all the fallout from the news only affected her? Yeah. That is the kind of thing - albeit in a very extreme case - of what Ren's firm would do.

Anything Else?

Other than a Wedding in the late spring/ early summer?

You Know What I Mean!

So while the media handling is covered, the entertain aspect will be covered thanks to something that stretches alllll the way back to Holon. Remember that grant Ren gave to support Sarlac (I probably mis-remembering her name) - i.e. Professor Mesquite's niece? The one to fund that incredibly advanced VR room? Yeah. Imagine THAT taking off and the Clavis's getting some really nice return on investment.

So In Conclusion...

That my D!Post any questions, comments, constructive feedback?

Hey so, since I'm here getting back into the swing of things, he'res a character I've been meaning to introduce long before now but only around the last week have I actually finished ironing out the character so here we go

Heahea Police Chief DeCosti

  • Name: Volpe DeCosti (Volpe off job, Chief or Chief/Officer DeCosti on job)

  • Age: 28

  • Gender: Male

  • Ethnicity: Mixed Italian and Afro-Caribbean (mother is Poke!Martinican)

  • Home Region: PokeItaly (specifically the Pokeverse!Gulf of Genoa). Currently residing on Akala Island, Alola.

  • Occupation: Police Chief of Heahea City's Police Department.

  • Appearance:: Volpe is a man of average height (around 5'7) with dark skin mottled with frostbitten patches all over. He's shockingly thin and scrawny (to the point of looking closer to a lich than the living) which makes his Alolan Police Force uniform (+ navy blue undershirt and Sharpedo tooth necklace) look baggy and loose on him despite being the smallest available size.

He has long, straight, icy white/blue hair that reaches down to his waist with two fox like "flips" that conveniently rest to the side of his officer's cap and a matching eye colour with slitted pupils. He's missing a few joints on his hands due to frostbite.

  • Bio: Sleazy, hedonistic, duplicitous and a tad bit arrogant, Volpe seems to the average eye the last person to be policeman material, let alone a police chief, but it turns out 10 years of experience in the force, being affable and occasionally charming and connections do go along way. After a decade of working on the force, including six years as an Interpol Officer, he's entered a somewhat soft retirement in the Alola Region where he's currently based in Heahea, but does the occasional visits to the other islands.

Slightly shady and with a mysterious past, Volpe tends to keep his head down and doesn't really get involved with something unless he needs to or he finds the case particularly juicy. But when it comes to information and knowledge about Alola, it's underbelly and the underbelly of a fair few other locations - he's the guy to go to, since he seems to have one of his in tact fingers on the pulse of what's going on in the world.

Despite his numerous negative traits, he does have redeeming qualities. For all his Absurdist hedonism and apathy, he's still a firm believer in justice and equality (even if he believes that the official body of Law is inefficient at it's own job) as well believing that sometimes, people can be redeemed. He also holds a handful of Interpol officers, namely Nanu, Looker and Anabel, in incredibly high regard and even holds his usually crass and quip filled tongue around them. He can also be incredibly blunt and brutally honest at times (depending on the context of the moment and the person), but not always, which tends to make long conversations with him devolve into mindgames.

Volpe is also a Dark Obscuric user, an incredibly potent one at that, evident by the fact that Dark Obscura leaks out of his body like an oozing haze - complementing his already lich like appearance. He even has the ability to create powerful ice constructs with his Obscura, among other things like high end, life-like illusions and other shadowy powers. The deal sounds impossibly sweet, which it is, because it turns out - being that powerful has had a rather damning effect on his person. He cannot consume enough food to produce the energy needed to both fuel his powers and feed himself - despite the fact he eats constantly and is rarely ever seen without food nearby. His own powers are, essentially slowly starving him to death.

He wants to get some things done before he kicks the bucket, but otherwise is pretty happy and content with himself and doesn't really fear the eternal slumber.

The Team!

  • Massimo the Alolan Ninetails

Massimo is Volpe's longest standing partner Pokemon along with Nero. Massimo is quiet, he doesn't really talk or communicate at all via verbal communications or telepathy, leaving some to believe that he is entirely mute. He most communicates with others via his body language, which seems to imply a stern, cold and somewhat sad individual without much sheer joy left in in him. That being said, he really loves snacking on Malasadas at the Malasada shop and seems to have an appetite that rivals his own trainer.

  • Nero the Weavile

Nero, along with Massimo, has been with Volpe the longest. Unlike Massimo, however, he is deeply mistrustful and suspicious of anyone who isn't his trainer or his team - oh whom he is deeply loyal to. Sneaky and deceptive, Nero will stop at nothing to achieve the goals that he and his trainer have set out to accomplish, no matter what means necessary, but he lacks the abilities of diplomacy that could resolve such a conflict in a more prudent and non-violent way. He's rather secretive, as only Massimo really knows what's going, but he does hold a grudge like a bitch.

  • Dinah the Shiny Delphox

Dinah is one of Volpe's older mons. Doting and motherly, she worries and frets over her trainer and her teammates constantly, trying to keep them warm with her own fire (despite most of her team mates being weak or otherwise averse to fire). Despite her obvious care and love for her teammates and trainer, her paranoia and neurosis have also made her rather smotherly and obsessive as well.

  • Alabarda the Bisharp

Alabarda is incredibly laid back and chill. She's pretty relaxed, going with the flow and not really having the time to be all serious and stuffy when you could be just strolling around and enjoying the wild ride that is life. So just like, unwind man.

Also she loves puns and memes, which makes her incredibly insufferable to everyone but Arlecchino and Rugiada. The latter of which doesn't even really know what a "meme" is.

  • Arlecchino the Zoroark

The prankster of the lot. He loves telling jokes, doing tricks and playing pranks on people at any chance he gets. However, he's not really all that good at it and just comes off more as a desperate pest rather than a funny prankster. Despite his bad jokes, the team do appreciate his presence as the one to usually alleviate an otherwise heavy atmosphere. He gets along well with Alabarda and Rugiada, the latter of which because she's the only one who finds his jokes funny and falls for his pranks.

  • Polare the Aurorus

Polare appears to others as being perpetually depressed. He looks sad all the time, talks in a depressing monotone and seems to apologise a lot for things that don't really need to be apologised for. However, he's not really all that depressed - not really - he just processes and talks about things in a way that seem like he's depressed, but he's actually rather content with himself. That being said, he does tend to snark here and there.

  • Vecchio the Mamoswine

Vecchio is a grouch. A Grump. He's cantankerous and bossy, prefers being alone, is rather gruff, abrasive, cranky and is generally everything you'd associate with being a grumpy old man. Deep down inside, though, he has a big soft spot that sometimes comes to surface. Usually via Rugiada, who he has sort of taken under his wing as a de facto granddaughter.

  • Rugiada the Glaceon

Rugiada is the youngest of Volpe's team and thus, the most wide-eyed and innocent of the bunch. Just shy of a year old, she has only known Alola and has never seen all the wonderful places that Volpe and his team have travelled to and all the adventures that they have been on, though Massimo and Nero tell her she should be thankful that she hasn't been such adventures and should be content with relative peace (which she doesn't get why they'd think that). As the youngest and most naive of the bunch, she often falls victim to Alabarda's puns and Arlecchino's pranks, but Vecchio is also the one to chase them off if they do that to her.


So yeah, now that I've got this dude out of the way biowise, I can finally get cracking on the Rescue Lex plot tomorrow since I haven't really been all that subtle in implying this new guy will be the instigator for that plot even if he doesn't actually participate in it himself.

So anyway, thoughts?

Things are starting to slow down a bit for me (although my living situation probably won't be ideal until a couple weeks from now), plus the R Ps I'm currently a part of are slowing to a crawl. I've looked over some of the guidelines for this group (which I'll probably end up reading at least 3 more times, if not more). Not sure if you're accepting new members at all, but I figure it's worth a shot to express my interest. In all honesty I don't have specific ideas for characters, just general ideas (one human, one mon, not sure if I'm forced to have one of each or not).

Specifically I have a vague idea of a human trainer whom is the runaway son of a sailor from Slateport whom would be around 15-17 by the present setting, and has no idea of what they really want to do in life...save for not joining any sort of navy. As for a mon, the only thing I've thought of is a machop whom some people misjudge as having all brawn and no brains, but can be surprisingly profound when he wants to be.

I'm going to try and review what's gone on so far, but I have a feeling I'll grow a full beard by the time I get everything. I'm not planning any sort of real plots, and if I find myself joining this game I'll most likely just be along for the ride, sort of speak.

Last I checked we had not closed signups, no, and yeah, it's a pokemon trainer RP, I think we require at least one of each to start out with.

'Cause, y'know, pokemon trainers.

And those two ideas sound fine to me.

Alright, I guess I know what to work on then. I'm just going to be upfront here, I've only ever played Pokemon Leafgreen & Pokemon Ruby/Omega Ruby, so I'm mainly familiar with Gen I and Gen III stuff. I have some limited knowledge of Gen II and even less of stuff beyond that (only know bits and pieces due to Super Mystery Dungeon), so that might influence the knowledge of my human character. As for the main mon, I'm not entirely sure how familiar they'd be with human stuff. Like I'd imagine they'd be trained to recognize things like human food and drinks,but I'm debating over whether they'd have been trained to be able to use things like a pokedex (not sure if Pokemon literacy is a thing, or if he'd probably just go by pictures). I know I plan to introduce a full team later, as I highly doubt someone who's been to (and possibly beaten the champions of) the Kanto and Hoenn regions would have been able to do it with just one mon, but if I'm accepted I'll start slow and see where things go from there.
