Magearna before it was cool
Canalave City has always been somewhat out of the way for a port town. Outside of the essential gym, for the average visitor it really only has a couple bits of noteworthiness: the library stuffed with Pokemon mythology, and, of more recent note, the incident that plagued a sailor's child several years ago. The child had been stricken by some kind of never-ending slumber, forced to endure perpetual nightmares, until a passing trainer managed to dispel the strange affliction with a lunar wing. The nightmares ceased and the child had awakened, but the town was never going to be quite the same after that incident. Most everyone in the town knew the cause of those ceaseless dreams, it could only have been the workings of the Pitch-Black Pokemon, Darkrai. A second incident involving the very same trainer, found sleeping outside of an abandoned inn, merely exacerbated the situation. Despite the afflicted managing to awaken on their own accord, they had little explanation as to how they ended up there, and left the town with far more questions than answers. The trainer's departure did leave some feeling as if a shadow had been lifted from the city, and indeed, as the years passed, no one else ever fell victim to such a haunting slumber... Until now. Suddenly, a growing number of Canalave's denizens have fallen into an unwaking slumber, more with every passing night. The immediate panic of Darkrai's supposed return has overtaken the townsfolk, but the true culprit might not be as obvious as they're led to believe.
That's right, folks, for the first time in years I've decided to take the helm of an RP, a Sinnoh one at that. I know a couple of you have already expressed interest, though I'm going to leave this open as an ask-to-join just in case. Post your bio here, and if it checks out, then you're in.
A few things to keep in mind if you wish to participate of course:
Please do so with the intent to keep with the RP. There's no deadline to post or anything, and reality remains priority number 1 above any silly storytelling business, but, for the sake of your fellow participants do try to post when you can, or if possible, try to inform one of us if you won't be able to post for a prolonged period of time.
Posts should naturally follow the RP standards laid out in the rules by the admins of course, so, a paragraph or two of semi-literate to literate sentences, at minimum. We're not writing Tolstoy or anything, but, make sure to write to the best of your ability.
Follow our almighty Charms overlords over anything else.
And with that, here we go, character bio time:
Name: Crank (Birthname redacted)
Gender: Male
Hometown: Nimbasa City, Unova (Though he keeps this info classified)
Age: 27
Height: 6’1
Weight: 187 lbs.
Hair: Dark Blonde, shoulder-length. Also sports a light mustache and beard stubble.
Eyes: Hazel
Clothing: As undercover attire, he wears a grey hoodie with the sleeves cut off at the elbow along with baggy sweatpants, all in an effort to look like some unassuming drifter.
Identifying Marks: A small, circular scar on the side of his forehead, about the size of a small drill-bit.
Musculature: Physically fit build for someone who exercises regularly
Personality: Depending on the person, he could be seen as either a tad eccentric or terribly paranoid. He’s rather obsessive over the subject of psychic, ghost and dark-type Pokémon and their interactions with humans, both benevolent and nefarious, and is constantly taking precautions to keep his mind protected from any potential mental invaders. It’s this mentality that ultimately led to his codename, though he doesn’t seem to think of it as much of an insult.
Skills: An experienced sleuth, Crank is very observant, often spotting tiny details in things, though unfortunately this leaves him occasionally failing to see the forest for the trees. He is also adept at disguise and both direct and Pokemon-based combat.
Past: Born and raised in a town that encouraged showmanship, Crank had always wanted to become an actor. His mother, a police officer, seemed to strongly support her son’s endeavors, though this ultimately proved to be out of an ulterior motive: The ability to hide behind a mask was far more versatile than just for entertainment alone. His mother proceeded to use her connections in the force to have her child enlisted in the academy as soon as he reached the legal age. While there, he was enrolled in specialized classes with the intent to join the international police. It was during these years of schooling that Crank’s interest in the manipulative potential of certain Pokemon was planted. This quickly blossomed to the obsession he would become known for as he reached graduation. As a rookie agent, his first mission is expected to be a small one, some petty issue regarding prolonged nightmares in a small town in Sinnoh. It was something that certainly suited his… quirks.
Family: Mother – Zoe, Father – Gavin, Sister – Peyton
Love Relationships?: N/A
Pokémon:
Species: Musharna
Nickname: Adler
Gender: Female
Ability: Forewarn
Special Features: N/A
History: Caught as a Munna while Crank was undergoing a field-training lesson in the Dreamyard. As its kind already has a penchant for consuming dreams, he’s conditioned it to immediately consume his own whenever he falls asleep, as to not leave his mind susceptible to potential dream-related manipulation from outside forces.
Species: Zoroark
Nickname: Olivier
Gender: Male
Ability: Illusion
Special Features: N/A
History: Hatched from the egg of his Father’s Zoroark, it was a faithful pet to Crank as a young boy, though it soon became a weathered battling companion upon his enrollment in the academy. Naturally superior in regards to disguise, when outside of its Pokeball, Olivier is often following its master under the guise of a number of different illusions, depending on the environment.
Species: Chandelure
Nickname: Samhain
Gender: Female
Ability: Flash Fire
Special Features: N/A
History: Encountered as a Litwick, Crank caught the candle Pokemon while shadowing a police officer patrolling the Celestial Tower in his early years at the academy. It proved a bit of a handful at first, and still occasionally brings out its trickster ways, though its unpredictability proves to work to its trainer’s advantage on plenty of occasions, namely in regards to the occasional battle, or interrogation.
