    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    Yup, that was my intention anyway. We have a big world to explore, that will only get better as more stuff gets filled in. Of course, if you've ever got a cool plan for something like this, you already know what's there you just don't want to spoil it yet, you can say so OOC and people will...

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    What I can do is come up with things whenever the RP seems to be stuttering/when the other players seem to be having trouble coming up with stuff. This lets me plan ahead a little bit, what the next scene is going to be like unless someone else changes it in the mean time. Like in this case, if...

    Yeah, you make one up yourself. Any detail not fixed may be made up at any time, as long as it's not like, you know, "you're all fired and all your partners are dead and I was elected bestest ranger ever the end". And we can challenge each other in this. If I think the situation you came up with...

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    As a bit of a service a announcement: if I'm in the back of the pack I can't be the first to see what's going on, so I'd prefer someone else to take the lead on describing what the situation is, even if it's a partial description. Lefty and eventually Jake will jump in from there.

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. RP thread.

    Jake inspects the newbies while snickering inside. This was a big day for them, some were even nervous. He stops at each one for a short chat, in his best "I'm being really serious" voice. "Frank eh? And you want to be a medic? Good, we can always use those. Any experience so far? You carry any...

    We're live! I figured this could bring all of us to one place. I tried to leave as many things as possible open about how Bootcamp Island looks and functions and who arrived when and how, so start filling in the details that matter to you. My character is available for interaction.

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. RP thread.

    This is the RP thread for Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Almia goes old school is an adventure story centered on Pokémon rangers in a mildly historic setting. This RP is open for more characters to join, but please visit the discussion thread first rather than just jumping in. A cross...

    I've updated my stuff a bit. Looking forward to getting started. We've got a nice mix of characters. The thread will go up around 30 hours from now or so, since that's when I have time tomorrow. (I'll also post about it here.)

    Point taken, I was thinking of things like making a final pick for starting partner (if any) or in my own case chiseling out character traits and weaknesses a bit more.

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    It's Wednesday now. I think it would be good to start up around next Sunday. I'll open a thread by that time and drop a few opening lines on the when and where of how the story picks up. Would everybody be able to work out the details still open before then? I'm looking forward to it! For new...

    Looks fun, good amount of detail. I notice there's half a sentence missing at the end of skills and equipment. Good call to name an ability on this particular partner, it impacts what kind of mon Marill is quite a bit.

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    Yes, sure, you may. Welcome. At Peachy: I don't think we're all done with our characters and such anyway, so I'm not in a hurry to start. But I will start thinking about a good way/point to launch the story, so that we can get going when the moment is right. The total number of players isn't...

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    Okay. That would be fine, sure. Struggle away, just watch out for the recoil damage. Thanks. Good to have you, I like the character. Looks like we might be doing some sort of recruitment/bootcamp arc to start out. I'll go polish off my drill instructor voice. "GIVE ME TWENTY, YOU CRAWLING...

    As a bit of a rope ninja in real life, I approve of this skill. Garchomp, poeh, uhmmm... I don't see anything in the Pokémon roleplay rules about pseudolegends on starting characters, so it's probably okay. I would ask that: 1 You avoid using it as a flying mount, at least for now (Garchomp...

    Yeah, I noticed those, but these seemed to specifically be referring to Addison: That's why I already started speculating I might be seeing the result of some rewriting and editing, as many good characters go through. I meant the whole thing merely as "I know this is a big deal to some people...

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    Oh, no, you totally are. I just forgot for a moment that's a thing I do in this thread. I like the character. Classic motivation, a hint of self doubt but a bigger will to overcome. Maybe clarify the name a bit more? Is Leon a nickname, a birthname or an alternative for Addison, or was that...

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    I was kind of planning to do a twentysomething female character for this one, but somehow I ended up liking this. The backstory is a little involved maybe... (Yes, in this case that's just another word for "like a wall of text".) I'm going to see about finding some more identifiable weaknesses...

    Added that field. Also, feel free to just add any field you're missing in your own submission. Just because something isn't important to all characters I can possibly imagine doesn't mean it's not important to yours. As for this question: I did mark the location of the school from Shadows of...

    Ask to Join Pokémon Ranger, Almia goes old school. Discussion thread.

    Hi, and welcome. Looks good. I didn't really have a uniform in mind. I was picturing the rangers more wild west movie style than like a proper modern police force. If other players want a uniform we can have one, and I'm open to all suggestions. But assuming we don't do that any kind of daily...

    Right, character format: Name (Including nicknames and such.) Age Gender (+Orientation etc, anything that matters for this character) Occupation/role/type of ranger (You can use this field if your character is starting as a trainee or as someone who has yet to enlist (please make this a...
