@ Umbra:

Hm... I think I might take the Druddigon.

Though, I do have plans in the future where Fool decides to "box" her mons at the Ranch and, due to a hiccup, it get's Merged with Melody's pasture. The Druddigon will most likely be the last Pokemon I accept o3o.

Hello everyone!

I was talking in the Creative Chat and I came to the conclusion that I have waaaaaaay more mons than I know what to do with for Rex. So, I came up with a solution that helps me, whomever is interested, and has no binding consequences!

This is a list of Pokemon that are up for grabs from Rex. In-RP, Rex will probably send out a mass text to the group asking for some assistance in getting his Pokemon out of Elm's Lab (where most of them have been for quite some time) for some exercise. This can either lead to temporary RC-ing of the character or keeping the character if you enjoy them enough (In-RP, Rex would allow you to keep them due to trying to do the best for his Pokemon, even if that means sending them with someone else).

The list of mons I am willing to part with are:

  • Alfonse the Xatu (♂)
  • Pandora the Chandelure (♀)
  • Mantisk the Grovyle (♂)
  • Naga the Milotic (♀)
  • Sulfur the Gulpin (♂)
  • Tanith the Seviper (♀)
  • Nico the Ambipom (♂)
  • Amp the Elekid (♂)
  • Shen the Duskull (♂)
  • Avice the Doduo (♀)
  • Miya the Girafarig (♀)

Cool~

  • Amp has...not had his personality created yet. So he's a blank slate. Feel free to make him however you want, Umbra.

  • Sulfur also hasn't had much of a personality, though his quirk is that he likes to cook and make o3o faces. He also is good at accounting.

  • Tanith is friendly, though she's a bit sensitive about people being afraid of her. She draws out her s sounds like thissssss unless it's an "sh" word. However, she can get over that with speech therapy, if you want. She's also good friends with Amia and would be interested in knowing how she's doing.

  • Pandora is kind of a stereotypical creepy ghost at the moment, though that might just be because she hasn't opened up her true self to Rex and Co. just yet.

If I had the time, I would totally take Naga. However, as things stand, if I take her she'll essentially be offscreen somewhere else and appear like once or twice a week with my other mons; not really fair. So, perhaps next time.

Ok, since I won't be available again until Monday (and from there, only scarcely until May), I should be easing some things for the people who wants to RC my characters or interact with them. But also, a notification that on Monday I'll probably be looking for someone to be co-GM-ing Kanjoh until the next arc begins, since Tagg said he wanted IK to end first and then the people there could have the opportunity to briefly go to Kanjoh.

Non-RCable characters

The following characters are not available for RC'ing, period. I have offscreen plans for them.

RP!Silent, Maekrite, Inka, Baluarkos and their family, Lileep, Idrano and his mons.

Overall Guide for RC'ing Silent's characters

First of all, there are two keys to correctly handling my characters.

  • No excess silliness. Some silliness is OK, as is some randomness, but since I base my character development on predefined levels and directions of depth, I prefer my characters to progress in their intended direction more steadily. If you want to try something that you think is too silly, please ask me or someone who has already RC'd them. As for randomness, go for it, just remember to keep it in the mundane context of the arc.
    • The middle part of the OI is more or less a good guide of the level of silliness and randomness I like for my characters.
  • Silent's mons are not one-track mind creatures. While they might be mostly occupied with one thing, there is always some ghostly motivation surrounding them. They also tend to approach problems with a mind open to weird or novel strategies, even if they don't have time or opportunity to eventually to use them. This is more patent in the more experienced mons (Dintel and, to some degree, Ichtacya).

With that out of the picture, let's check some characters:

Characters intended for RC'ing by specific players

(Note that this does not mean they can not be RC'd by other characters)

Ichtacya / Leafeon♀ / Every or Wolf

Ichtacya is essentially a visitor in Silent's team. She is well-versed in living on the road, off-the-grid as a wild mon, and prefers to spend time with one or two friends rather than in large groups, unless they are Eeveelutions. Her reaction to most threats is to warn once, then charge in with sequences of attack combos where possible. Her better performing combination is to Energy Ball a projectile and use it as cover to build up a good angle for an X-Scissor or an Iron Tail. She is also quite clingy, more than Algira sometimes, and loves to be taken out for a walk. She does not like to talk or divulge much of her life, but will gladly talk at length of places she has visited or things she has nommed.

One core component of Ichtacya's personality is that she desires for her life to be more varied, not necessarily more exciting or thrilling.

Algira / Masquerain♀ / Tagg

Currently in a relationship with Helios, the two of them spending time in the Johto Safari Zone getting to know the bugs in the area and the different types of honey. Algira's personality is more or less well know, not much to comment on there. Initially prudish on the exterior, she's evolved to be more sincere but at the same time a bit unreadable. She likes attention but does not like to be the center of it.

Algira also tends to exaggerate some things. Algira speaks in flash patterns sometimes, but uses them more to express emotion. She expresses confusion or misunderstanding by "hmph"ing, hovering clockwise, or both. When it comes to attacks, she uses her flight capabilities for evasion as a backup to charge up attacks, since with her small size she can not exert much strength easily. When required she can try and use moves like Water Pulse and Silver Wind to barricade herself against projectiles.

Python / Ekans♂ / Tangent

Currently in PEFE Goldenrod with Silent. A very young mon that looks more fierce than he actually is, his motivations are mostly food and screentime. He does not like to be too much time in the open. Tends to hiss and rattle at everything (hiss is more friendly than rattle, though) and to wrap himself around wrists and arms. His Ability is Shed Skin. He sometimes speaks in (pseudo-)Python code which he uses mostly to express his (lack of) happiness and related stuff.

Because Silent is pretty open to the wild as a Trainer, Python still has some wildish behaviours. He will sometimes try to nom Pokémon smaller than himself if he is not sure they are "friends". He will also follow some people around in silence and staring intently, a la HG/SS.

The Bird Family / various species / Rex or Every

Copahue the Fearow♂, Harriet the Honchkrow♀ and Shahinne the Starly♀. The three are living in a birdhouse atop a PEFE building in Goldenrod.

Copahue is a practical and sincere mon, but his very limited movepool and past as an HM slave have left dents in his capacity for initiative and expressiveness. He is a very good fisher, something he's been trying to teach to his family, and also has a relatively good sense of direction. His reaction to most threats is to stay away and circle them waiting for a first move

Harriet is a relatively individualist mon - she escaped her life as a flock member to go with Luke because she got fed of that lifestyle. Tends to keep things to herself a bit and is currently undergoing some stress because of a Murkrow murder in the city. Still, she cares for Shahinne deeply, and although her feelings for Copahue are true, her hear might be split over for Bill (the bird) or Treeo. She's as physical as Copahue is but has more Special tricks as well - though she will hardly last enough to use most of them.

As a couple, Copahue and Harriet are a more or less solid item and despite the history behind their relationship they do not feel any sort of shame for being together. Take into consideration that a big component of why they got together was that Copahue was not enough caretaker to keep Shahinne out of danger. Copahue and Harriet like to spend time alone in Faith's rooftop "cooing"; however they carry out most of their other activities, such as tidying the nest, fishing or collecting berries, separately.

As for Shahinne... there is not much to be said that hasn't been said already. A chick with some street smarts and a limited degree of Hyper-Awareness, she is also really individualist and at some point quite self-centered. She believes that she deserves people's attention and caring because of her prettiness, not out of malice but because of her high degree of self-awareness. As such, detests being hurt or feeling pain, which leads her to reject most forms of training; her reaction to most threats is to back away, observe for a moment and then annoy the threat with pecking to make it leave. Her only TM move is Secret Power. Shahinne is the character for whom the highest degree of silliness will be tolerated so long as it does not break her established character.

Characters open for RC'ing

Dintel / Sandshrew♂

To understand this mon you only need one trope: Never Grew Up. Dintel still lives in an almost eternal happyland. He also shows quite a bit of initiative, in particular when he is left to his own devices, being Silent's Second First Catch. However he will patently growl his disregard and discomfort for water, Pokémon to take away his stuff, or claw hygiene.

Rook / Human♀

Rook is a Trainer from elsewhere ( a non-canon region perhaps ) who is in Johto looking for some interesting Pokémon to catch. She is self-sufficient and aims high in her life, but is also not too expressive and tends to disregard, or at least ignore on first hearing, the advice that is given to her. If you have seen the third saga of Robotech you can get a small glimpse of her character from her namesake.

Rook's Pokémon are an offscreen Starter♀; Geratte, a combat-experienced Golduck♀ who can not stop making questions and trying to understand what is going on around her; and Adua, a Medicham♀ who is calm and observant, enjoying the small thins of life, but also seems to lack in such things as a sense of time or direction. The team is focused on catching a Johtoan mon of interest, which might be a Teddiursa, a Houndour (inb4 they are in Kanto) or a Skarmory. As part of a trend this mon to be caught will also be female.


If you have any doubts take your time to PM, but mind that I likely won't be able to answer until Monday.

Since I won't have time to catch up with the RP during the month, if there is any big event or change that is relevant to my characters please let me know by PM. Same with discussion in the Creative chat - please provide the relevant links. These simple steps should ease up my participation and assistance in both RP and meta on Mondays.

Seeing you all later.

With Regard To Rex's Mons

Unfortunately, the only mon there that really fits the running scheme of things that I've got going ATM trainer-wise is Ohm... And I've already got an electric sheep... If you're in a pinch though, I can happily shenanigan some homes with recurring NPCs of mine later down the road.

With Regard to Silent's Call For RCing

Oh what I would give if life didn't utterly hate me for this next month or so... Vlad and Dintel NEED to be together onscreen again. tongue

But yeah, as much as I'd love to make a commitment to take Dintel or Rook under my wing, I don't think that I'd be able to manage. As for Pepper, well... She's already not in the spotlight mu-*bricked with extreme justice*

With Regard to Umbra's Egg Giveaway

I'd be interested in one of your wild cards if your feeling up to it... Provided it fits my current motif as a PEFEr, (I still need to write that 'canth article one of these days.) namely of mons I've written about or otherwise have queued.

As luck would have it, you actually HAVE three mons that I've written / intend to write about as a PEFEr in your ranks... One rather obvious choice, and two others as well. (Not suggesting a flowersaur because you don't have one, also, Pepper. o3o Also, a doom dragon will likely require a word with Tagg regarding if he's okay with not following through with an idea regarding Hydreigon he's bounced around.) If it's something that you don't feel like you can write the scenario well while keeping things non-awkward with your chars (which was a concern you voiced regarding Xu), it's fine and I understand it if you request that I bow out from the wildcard egg.

Do note that due to the aforementioned issue of life hating me, that RP!Tracer's mon get from the egg will likely be rather belated (or done via offscreen scene like a number of things back in OI).

If you do decide to follow through with the egg, I look forward to being able to welcome Moogle, Baigan, or the mon that would probably wind up being called Cecil to the team later on.

Also no, I have not been level grinding in the Giant of Babil lately, shut up.

@ Tracer

You'll actually be able to get "Cecil" from me, since unlike Alduin and Xu, Reynard doesn't have a girlfriend (Likely due to his Butt-Monkey status. :P )Of course, it will be a bit belated, unless I can deliver the egg to an offscreen location or to the 'mons of yours I'm R Cing.

Do note that he'll likely be often embarrassed by his dad's behavior and failed attempts at trolling. o3o Other than that, take him in any direction you want.

On the egg distribution

OK... there's three more days and four eggs left (Unless Mezzo wants the Vullaby for Fortis; if you're reading this, Mezzo, post for or against that). I'm making a final call for any of these eggs (and praying to Arceus that somebody loosens their stand on getting more mons). I've got enough takers that I can ditch the remainders if absolutely necessary, but I'd VASTLY prefer they find homes.

Also, I'm in Hilton Head for the week. :3

I'm leaving the RP. I feel like I have too many problems to work with here. I make far too many social faux pas, I have no idea for character direction, I have too many Pokemon, etc. So, I'm just going to cut my ties and end it here before I do anything worse.

Later.
