Yeah, he's a Reasonable Authority Figure, mostly.
EDIT: Or not. DS ninja'd me.

I suppose the Reasonable Authority Figure bit still stands, since he is likely unaware of Cresselia having lied to the inhabitants of the Dream World, among others on his behalf, as well as Cresselia's supposed bratty teenage daughter personality not being her real personality.

More "I Can't Believe It's Not Okami" Planning!
OK, so I decided I would be incorporating the Brush Gods into this somehow. While their true nature in the context of the RP has yet to be worked out, (and I could use some help with it, actually) I have figured out some things.
Not only will they be represented by Pokemon, but they'll have the personalities of mundane mons of the same species from the RP, hinting at some sort of connnection. It'll require genderswapping several of them, but I think the idea is fun enough to be worth it.
The Brush Gods are:
- Yomigami: Dragonair/Dragonite, Bozaka's personality
- Tachigami: Ratatta, Dana's personality
- Hanagami Trio: Three Pansage, all with Rosemary (Wolf's Pansage)'s personality
- Bakugami: Emboar, Lardna's personality
- Yumigami: Nidorina, Inka's personality
- Nuregami: Milotic, Rarity's personality
- Kazegami: Rapidash, Conquistador's personality (which stage of it I may need to clarify with Crewe)
- Moegami: Blaziken, Rawk Hawk's personalty
- Kasugami: Ampharos, most likely. Personality is tricky... Ohm, maybe, or perhaps Shaun.
- Kabegami: Persian, Bucky's personality.
- Gekigami: Luxray (Yes, that's a lion, not a tiger, but it's the best we have), Larxene's personality
- Itegami: Tauros, Random Tauros' personality
- Shiranui/True Amaterasu: Ho-Oh in the form of a white Arcanine, Ho-Oh's Personality
Prinny and DOOM may cameo as Michigami and Kyokugami from Okamiden, respectively.
So... Thoughts? Suggestions? Objections to me using your characters? I'll be glad to listen.
Contact Me!Alright, this is kind of a mood derail, but a message for Ori...
We've been concerned about some things that have been happening since you've returned. It's been a week or less since you've been back, and you've had several issues already, including:
- Being overly insistent on certain ideas and trying to get them to work
- Bringing iffy elements into canon (eg. Burst Hearts, and especially sexualized Pokemorphs)
- Attempting to set up your PC as top-percentage and unbeatable. (I know you planned on her being an incompetent trainer but among other things I'm worried you'll jump to Origa beating up anything in her path more quickly as a result)
- Derailing long-standing pairings on a whim (possibly insulting Daisy in the process, though we need to confirm with Daisy herself.)
- Shoehorning excessive Kamen Rider refrences in any chance you get.
- Shoehorning yourself into established subplots without setting up context first. (Eg. the Other!Tracer subplot. To be fair on this one, you ran it by Tracer first, but the lack of in-RP context still makes it jarring.)
Look, I don't think you're a bad guy, Ori. You've said you don't really want to step on people's toes. But the fact we have to point these issues out to you so bluntly is an issue in and of itself. Ideally, people shouldn't need too much hand-holding to keep things under control, but some of what you do either has a risk of getting out of hand or has already.
So... I really hope you take this advice seriously and try to improve. Run stuff by us first. Keep your ideas more scaled down, for the most part. Do things one thing at a time in a battle, and remember you can only control what your character WANTS an attack to do. And most of all, actually listen to us, and know when to take no for an answer. Hopefully then we can all stop worrying and just enjoy ourselves.
(To everyone else: Due to my anger issues, please tell me where I go too far in this advice, so I can tone it down appropriately. If the whole thing is going too far, I will gladly blank it. Thank you.)

Contact Me!Personally, I don't really think they're all as much of a concern as you say they are... EXCEPT the shipping bit. However... my bigger concern is the fact that Pent is going along with it. I don't mean to offend one of the few people who have been here since the beginning, but as a reminder, it takes two for it to be a "pairing". I stated this before in the chat, and I'm saying it again now: If something like that is going to happen, it needs to happen slowly. For both sides.
Honestly I found I was kind of doing this to Sakura's arc, luckily I took the hint early and sent Des on his way. Still kinda new to this...
Took a while but here's Lyuri's sign up sheet:
- Name: Lyuri Riese
- Age: 16
- Gender: Female
- Appearance: Long brown hair, blue eyes, is a bit taller than Sakura and is just as thin. Wears a long sleeved black shirt with two yellow buttons and collar, as well as a vertical yellow strip in the center. She wears light gray bermuda shorts and black boots, she wears a yellow wristlet in each hand.
- Any ties to a organization: None
- Region of Origin: Sinnoh
- Backstory: As a kid, Lyuri always dragged Sakura along to take part in her's anticts and even when they ended badly, they had a lot of fun together, after the cave in Lyuri believed that everybody had died, including Sakura, she couldn't go back to her home after the accident, so she wandered around and started living as a trainer. Once she went to Canalave, she remembered how Sakura and her wanted to go to New Moon Island to see if Darkrai was really there, and to see if he was really bad as others said and so, she went there just to do what she thought her sister couldn't do anymore. Surprisingly, even for her, she managed to find Darkrai and talk with him, a rather awkward conversation iniatially, but she managed to befriend the legendary and soon she found herself saying all about her to him. Since then she tries to go to New Moon Island just to make company to Darkrai, she also ended being some sort of link to the rest of the world for him since he rarely left the island.
