Prologue

Scott overhears something about the bombs, which are to be dropped in Nimbasa in [Schroedinger's One-Digit Number] after that conversation. He calls AU!Trent, telling him "Get out of here, there's a bomb, don't ask just ESCAPE". He then gets AU!Alli - who is sure to be recovered by then - and escapes. Afterwards, he calls Keith, telling him to "Get to Sinnoh, that's where you'll be safest." Keith does so, accompanied by AU!Diane.

As for the group in Unova, they'll attempt to get to Sinnoh via Castelia, but they're caught in that bomb, and... well, there goes that attempt.

@ Umbra's Egg Distro

There is one particular mon that I was hoping to get before next May, and I'm sure you know who he is... If you would like a role in helping to have him come about, I would kindly request that you coordinate things with Tagg for it.

@ Rex's Cameos

If you'd be willing, I would be interested in cameoing. Pick whomever best suits your fancy if you so desire.

And Now Onto the IMPORTANT Part - My Plans For Rt AU Prologue

Everything that MUST Happen (Note, Some of this has Since Gone Outside of my Jurisdiction as a Player):

  • Eon must leave AU!Luke (no idea who's running him), perhaps foreshadow things to come in a letter (if AU!Luke and party can even *read* the darn thing).
    • Eon will then join the ranks of the 7JD (they've been looking for him after all)
      • Eon may or may not fail miserably in trying to wrestle control away from Alduin (lol Dark-Type)
  • Cassandra will be booted from her position amongst the 7JD in favor of Bahahkun. Possibly with much ranting and frustration
    • Will be demoted to a "middle management" position in a portion of Unova (likely South and East)
    • Will be undergoing antics to try and mobilize for the big invasion
      • May or may not have to resort to hired fighters from AU!Desert Kingdom and the like before the invasions even begin
  • Tiamet (who you may remember as Dragonair!Tiamat) will be introduced with help from Tangent
  • AU!Tracer will be at AU!PEFE by the end of Prologue. Potentially suckered into coming there by nefarious powers-that-be
    • Vallok will put AU!PEFE in the dark and monified en route for as the draconic armadas attempt to neutralize the one main potential source of disruption to their antics before sweep out towards the shores of Kanjoh and Hoenn (is more or less en route hit-and-run), formally ending the Rt AU Prologue.
  • On the OU side, some royally stranded AU mons will find some sort of excuse to come into orbit around some portion of the broader group. (Primarily for Dragonborn!Weavile)

Stuff that MIGHT Happen as Part of the Prologue:

  • Moving AU!Teala over to Johto for purposes of shippery with AU!Maekrite
  • Following a few AU human/mon NP Cs that I write for shortly before their worlds get turned upside down.
  • Other stuff that I haven't thought of yet that I might do as part of Prologue.

Alright, plans...

I would like AU!Crow to have recently started on his journey so he can be in Saffron for when the WEPON hits there. Only other plans with him are to join a resistance group that's formed in Saffron and see what happens with that.

AU!Maggie will be staying in Goldenrod. Her prologue post will show that in the AU, she's a fan of the Goldenrod Owsla instead of the J-Team. Sometime after being one of those evacuated from Goldenrod, she will end up joining the Owsla. By the time she hears about the Anti!WEPON, she will be uncertain if she wants to become human again because she's not sure how useful she'll be to the Owsla as a human.

Not sure what plans for Eon and Bahahkun are at this point, other than for them to lead their armies, for Eon to be stuck-up, and for Bahahkun to RAEG and beat up prisoners and minions.

I guess I'll have to think of something for AU!Alyssa relatively quick, won't I?

I'll discuss my prologue when I come up with the alternate backstory.

Prologue plans:

AU!PEFE

  • Tangent & the Tropii stay there; presumably getting some kind of warning from OU!PEFE, but not soon enough to collect the intel needed to counter the attack

???

  • Tiamet gets introduced, and assigned to the Hoenn invasion force (without knowing the details of the bombs, I assume most low-level clawsoldiers do not know about the mon bombs)

Hoenn

  • I will be introducing a family of three siblings in Slateport/Mauville who were orphaned during Lelouch's attack; the oldest & man of the house, Benjamin, will eventually end up taking part in the trolling efforts.

Okay, I will definitely be on board with a 'mon for Katie.

Rules! Ice-type. It can have a secondary (or have Ice as the secondary) type, but it can't be one that is represented on Katie's team, already.

For reference:

  • Cayenne: Fire
  • Basil: Normal
  • Peppermint: Water
  • Jillian: Ground
  • Robin: Psychic
  • Sassafras: Dark/Ghost
  • Nova: Fire
  • Amberjack: Normal
  • Aurelia: Dark
  • Serena: Psychic
  • Nutmeg: Normal/Grass
  • Oregano: Electric
  • Cyanide: Poison/Flying

That leaves: Fighting, Rock, Bug, Steel, and Dragon, or just Ice.

There isn't a single Ice type mon with any of those subtypes.

So just Ice, then. :P

Okay, I'll lift the Ice restriction (although it's still my primary preference) if there's anything interesting among the types that she doesn't have yet.

PLANS

AU!Trip will be in his personal tower, overlooking the city. Then BOMBS? YOU WANT IT? So he may-may not be Monified, depending on the bombs blast radious, and likley, unless she's against it, request help from a certain    EEEEEVIIIILLLL    girl from the desert to aid against the threat.

DS, re: chapter 9:

  • elaborating on Guild stuff to explain travel and such is good
  • seemed like a good balance of having dungeon crawling without getting tedious
  • The forest tribe was interesting, though I admit I find forest stuff generally peaceful and thus hard to get excited about tongue

Traveling Saturday, so may not be on.

Sorry for not being on at all today. Unfort-

-looks at clock-

Err...Sorry for not being on at all yesterday. Unfortunately, I won't have time either today, so I'mma request that the complete roster for GS 12 be sent to me via PM or by compiling on this thread so that I may make sure I have not missed any character in the drafting process either by lack of attention or by recent addition. (I'm hardly perfect and almost forgot a few last year when there were half as many participants). Inking should start as soon as I acquire a fine-liner (probably Wednesday at best) and the list will be officially closed except under special circumstances.

Characters should be either main or secondary that are still either active or relevant to current plotlines. Characters that are no longer active were required to express their intent to be included.

Rt AU

Well... I have no idea. I guess AU!DS is still in Sinnoh, hears about the attacks when they start happening, leading to her attempt to destroy the world. However, before things play out the way they did in the timeline leading to PMD-B, AU!Wolf stops her and talks her out of it, and then she and Cynthia make sure to get the few citizens of Sinnoh safely down to the underground, before starting making preparations to fight, or something...

I also need to have AU!Goggles gather the resistance back together, but... I have no idea where I'm going with that...

Quarter: You joined before the cutoff date, so you can be in if you want. And we're not sure, but we're running another arc alongside it in the OU. Also, are you interested in an egg?

Name: Fillet (his real name is Eric though) Gender: Male Region: Azalea Town, Johto Age: ??? (I had the idea of leaving it mysterious as a joke and having cryptic references that make him seem younger or older than everyone) Occupation: Trainer, but he’s also had experience being a delivery guy for Silph Co., and several dozen miscellaneous odd jobs.

Appearance: About 5’7’’, very skinny and scrawny but with a little bit of muscle (mostly because there’s no fat to cover it up), dark Caucasian skin, dark brown hair that almost looks black, brown eyes, bags under his eyes, crooked smile, slouches. Usually wears graphic t-shirts, trademark red jacket, and jeans and sometimes a backwards hat. So yeah, really dorky looking.

Personality: Usually out of it, kind of a cloudcuckoolander. Although not in the sense that he’s random and crazy, but because he doesn’t pay attention to a lot of things and has weird logic. Usually pretty soft-spoken and chill and a little awkward, but it doesn’t take much to get him to become overdramatic, usually when really happy or really angry, waving his arms around and yelling and generally being obnoxious. Very self-depreciatory. Though his exterior doesn’t show it he’s very into philosophy. He also has a dry, sometimes inappropriate sense of humor.

Backstory: Fillet completed his journey a year or two ago and it was pretty normal compared to most other people’s. Had brief encounters with a few legendaries but that was more chance than anything so really nothing special happened. He conquered the Kanto and Johto Pokémon leagues and has competed in many conferences since then, and his job as a delivery boy sent him to Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova, where he caught Pokémon there. (He’s beaten 3 gyms in Hoenn, 6 in Sinnoh, and 6 in Unova but finishing their leagues isn’t a priority to him.) Overall, a pretty average life. Trainer Class: Normal trainer, but he has a lot of weird Pokémon so maybe supernerd? Idk.

Pokemon: Boots the Aipom (Male) Nature: Impish Met: Azalea Town, Johto Ball: Poke Fillet’s first ever Pokémon. He’s a troll and kind of a jerk but is still a good friend (depending on your definition of good). Holds himself on a pedestal compared to the other members of the team. He never evolved and despite being the first Pokémon Fillet ever owned he’s not that strong either, mostly relying on shenanigans to win battles. (Usually he doesn't even fight though, just hangs around.)

Wraith the Gengar (Male) Nature: Naughty Met: Pokémon Tower, Kanto (Ghastly) Ball: Great Wraith is a jerk and a troll and likes to scare and mess with people, but really he’s a nice guy deep down when you get to know him, and he’s one of the strongest and smartest Pokémon on the team. New Pokémon tend to hate him and older ones really like him. He’s a total bro, pretty much.

Latula the Flygon (Female) Nature: Adamant Met: Route 111 (Hoenn) Ball: Great Captured as a mischevious Trapinch, Latula likes to do things her own way and don't take nothing from nobody! She's stubborn and loud and boisterous and acts like a gamer girl coolkid. Fillet uses her for flying around a lot. She's friendly with all the other Pokemon but gets on their nerves quickly. Nevertheless she's a skilled fighter.

Slim Shady (Slim) the Scrafty (Male) Nature: Bold Met: Route 4 (Unova) Ball: Great Slim was captured on Route 4 and resented it ever sense. He has a gigantic ego and believes himself to be the strongest, smartest, and most handsome Pokemon on the team. He's street smart but very book dumb. He's also very quick to break down under pressure and start crying. He's very loud and insults everybody, and tends to get Fillet in trouble because he likes stealing things and likes to try and beat up innocent people. Thug life yo

Yo-yo the Gliscor (Male) Nature: Quirky Met: Route 206 (Sinnoh) Ball: Ultra Yo-yo (real name withheld because he hates it) was caught on Route 206. Fillet set his stuff down to sleep there overnight and upon waking realized his bag was missing. A Gligar had found it and was eating his food, and Fillet chased him for half the day until Gligar released one of his other Pokemon who beat him into submission. Fillet then captured him. He's treated as a butt monkey, usually, and is very immature and afraid of screwing up. Likes to hug people. He's also a big eater and extreme omnivore, some traits inherited from his buddy Taft the Snorlax. He's a fairly skilled battler, just immature and klutzy.

Rapunzel the Tangrowth (Female) Nature: Bashful Met: Route 21 (Kanto) Ball: Ultra Caught as a Tangela on Route 21 while Fillet journeyed in Kanto. Her first battle was against Blaine, who she had a type disadvantage to, and another Pokemon on the Kanto team constantly made fun of her for being ugly, which was not great for her self-esteem. She is a total nerd and likes anime and other dorky stuff and constantly geeks out over it. She is, however, good friends with Yo-yo and some other "misfits" on Fillet's team. One of Fillet's top battlers (at least top 5), even with her flaws. She's a quick thinker and is good at making up strategies in the heat of battle.

Like 30 other Pokemon kept in the box, too.

Sorry for the huge text dump! (Tell me if I did anything wrong, too.(
