Character for Rt AU Arc (AU!Des)

Name: Des

Surname: Trad (not necesarily OU!Des' surname)

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Appearance: Medium build. Black hair, green eyes, sharp chin, unshaven. Wears a grey trenchcoat, matching fedora and trousers. White button up shirt, red suspenders and black tie.

Occupation: Private Detective

Bio: Des Trad aspired to fight crime at a young age. Unfortunately he flunked out of police school. Unfazed by this setback he bought a new outfit and set about traveling the world solving mysteries, stopping criminals and committing other acts of "general goodguyhood". An optimist at heart he will always find something positive in a situation, though he can get a little snarky and sarcastic sometimes. He can also understand 'monese, a skill that has proved invaluable during cases.

Pokéform: ??? (To be revealed)

Pokemon:

Name: Ace

Species: Crobat

Gender: Male

Bio: Des' first partner and closest friend, Ace is well Ace. Des has known Ace for as long as he can remember, but how he actually met him is lost to both Des and Ace. If you ask Ace though he'll tell you that he rescued an infant Des from a feral Growlithe. Cocky, arrogant but not in the least bit sour, Ace acts like a tough big brother. The pair are virtually inseperable. During cases Ace acts as the "'mon on the inside". His small stature and nimble reflexes make him perfect for sneaking into hard to reach areas and collecting evidence.

Name: Mycroft

Species: Cacturne

Gender: Male

Bio: It seems Des' love of Grass-Types has transcended space and time. While investigating a drug cartel in Hoenn,Des was ganged up on by...a gang. Luckily a Cacturne interjected and quickly dispatched the thugs. Des was greatful and decided to repay the Cacturne by offering it a chance to see the world and leave it's dry, bleak desert home. Mycroft now acts as Des' "muscle". Being proficient in both close range physical attacks and longe ranged special attacks, Mycroft is almost never seen around Des;preffering to stick to the shadows and alcoves. A 'mon of few words and many bones to pick, Mycroft is always nearby ready to strike.

Also, Welcome to the RP Bittersweet!

and Dogs!

You're missing some parts of the sign up. You need his bio, region of origin, and if he has any ties to an organization.

It's also required that you read that[up] and recommended that you check out the chats here

Apologies for blatant interruption, feel free to ignore.

After a while without posting I decided that I wanted to use a little pseudo-plot thing I've been thinking about for a few months to serve as an exit and some relief. My recent posts have been directly related to this. Basically a small Amensia thing of sorts. I don't think it'll take more than a few weeks at most. I thought about how to make it possible in an RP as well as taking out more gruesome bits, all of which I wrote down here. So yeah. I realize that's a lot of stuff to write about something very insignifant, but it was pretty fun. Please mention any objections you may have, and reading that document is definitely not something I'm trying to force anyone to do.

Have a wonderful day.

A Dilemma

OK, as you can all probably tell, Chrome's shipping partner is currently Arika. As you can also probably tell, this relationship is made possible (and generally more feasable) by Chrome borrowing Ammy's armband. Normally, said relationship of Chrome having to depend on something of Ammy's is fine by me, as it creates an interesting dynamic and ballance.

However, I have encountered a problem with this dynamic. Namely, that Ammy will be separated from the others for at least a good chunk of two arcs.

In light of this, I have determined two solutions:

1. Have Chrome borrow another armband while Ammy is separated. This situation allows for a similar dynamic and is less likely to rile parts of the playerbase. I was thinking of using Skye's, because her realtionship with Diane isn't dependent on it (Bird cuddles are cute!) However, this requires me to be HEAVILY dependent on another player, which may not be fesable due to RL and such and can be annoying in general for both sides.

A. Chrome goes on an elaborate sidequest I'm planning to get his own armband. On the bad end of things, this solution may rile up parts of the playerbase, add to the already bloated number of armbands, and mess with dynamics/balance. On the other, I have precedent for where he could find one, he'd definitely have to earn it, and I wouldn't be dependent on other players. (Plus, then he, Arika, Umbra, and Ammy could go on double dates! :3)

So, any votes, thoughts, concerns, and alternative solutions will be appreciated.

Yeah, Skye's armband was the one Doopliss stole.

However, I'm perfectly fine with the first option. After all, Skye doesn't really "own" her armband.

The suggestions sound like good plans... But I was leaning to the second plan and was simply not sure of its vialbility, which is why I wanted votes and concerns. So those would be nice.

I'm ambivalent, as I can see how both have pros and cons that to me seem to weigh even…

Eskay64 Since: Nov, 2010
#8617: Nov 17th 2012 at 6:09:00 PM

First solution, as stated before. Skye's armband isn't hers and hers alone, and it really wasn't hers to begin with.

I'm more in favor of the first option, but would be fine with the second if the first doesn't work out.

Hmm... Perhaps I should phrase it this way. Is there anyone genuinely *opposed* to the second option? Because despite myself I'm liking it the most ATM and would like to try it.

(Plus, there's the double standard of Eskay and Wolf having both kinds while I can't have two of one...)

(Also, if I'm violating Every's essay rules on obstinateness, please tell me.)

Sorry for double post, but apparently there is some strong opposition to A...

6 Silentran♂: Uhm... re: Umbra's D!posts: My position on the matter is strongly towards option numero 1º, for reasons I've explained several times before. And, TBH, for someone who is so worried about pulling off more and more outlandish stuff with his characters, Umbra *is* trying to make them even more special now...

Since it DOES kinda push Chrome at least into the "too SPECHUL" category, I think I will go with option 1 after all... (Though will emphasize he would have earned it.)

Though I now worry everything I do is too spechul... Even Arikrome itself...

I was more thinking of a mix between the two; Chrome could literally have Skye's armband (since her relationship isn't completely dependent on it), but Skye might ask to borrow it once in a while. It lets Chrome be not-dependent, it prevents another armband from popping into existence, and it avoids that double standard. Win-win-win.
