• Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Ask to Join Adrift Arts Academy [Discussion]

'Greetings, recipient of this letter! You may refer to me as Cobalt, the founder and leader of Sinnoh's Adrift Arts Academy. You know, the only Coordinator school in the world that takes place on our cruise ship known as the SS Hullheart.
But let's jump to the case! You receiving this letter mean's you've been accepted into our 20XX class! Don't worry about packing too much, our cruise is very lavish and will hopefully fit your needs. And no matter if you've no Pokémon or not, you're free to take part in our Partner Trial that gives you a random Pokémon for this year's semester. Whether you take it with you at the end of the year or not is 100% up to you!
We'll be docking in Canalave City on June 20th, so just when summer holidays are going to kick off for everybody. What's more fun than Coordinators honing their skills under a shining sun?
Anyways, we hope to see you there! Safe travels!
- Cobalt, Academy Founder'
1. All Pokecharms rules apply here. This means no teleporting, no oneshotting everything, no dodging everything, and especially no controlling characters that aren't yours without permission.
2. No NSFW or 18+ content.
3. Romance IS permitted, but please keep it light. A kiss here and there is okay, but don't push it... you know. PAST that.
4. Please keep OOC drama to a minimum. If you wanna start anything up in the roleplay but don't know if it'd be bad, give me a shout and tell me what you wanna try! I promise I'm not gonna bite.
5. While in character drama is alright, cursing is prohibited. Feel free to replace some things though, like 'son of a Swanna' or 'for Floatzel's sake'. See? Far easier on the ears.
6. We're just teens in this RP, so we can't be having any Legendaries or Mythicals. Even if approved by a mod, I'm afraid.
7. But shinies are a different deal! If you request a shiny roll for one of your characters, you have a chance of getting a glittering 'mon all to yourself.
8. Just have a good time! More rules can be added if needed.
Q: How does a shiny roll work?
A: Quite simple! Let's say you have a Squirtle, and want to have it shiny. You would have to give me a number, as well as 'Higher' or 'Lower'. Then, I'll roll a random number generator (max number 100) and let's say you went with 37, Lower. The results come back as a 22, meaning your Squirtle is now shiny! Fun! You can't just do instant win combinations though, such as 1 Higher and 100 Lower. If you do that, I get to pick the number and stuff.

Q: What's the deal with the Partner Trial?
A: The academy wants to give every aspiring Coordinator a chance to hone their skills. So if you opt in to the Partner Trial, I'll randomly generate a Pokémon and give it a shiny roll. Tada, one free Pokémon!

Q: And what if you roll an Aggron for that?
A: Easy fix! That Aggron will be whittled down to a little Aron. Same goes for Pokémon like Rhyperior, Masquerain and Emboar. In the case of Pokémon with baby forms (we'll use Pichu as an example), I'll naturally pick what's better in the line. Such as choosing Pikachu over Pichu or Budew over Roselia.
These are optional, but provided for a better learning experience.
Basic Performance Arts: The ABCs to getting up on a stage and knowing what to do there.
Advanced Performance Arts: Already got a Ribbon or two under your belt? Well, this course brushes into more difficult techniques to try.
Delectables Training: Poffins, Pokéblocks... you name 'em, this is the place to learn to bake 'em.
Delectables Advanced Course: How about decorating that stuff of yours to increase the effects? Highly recommended to take this alongside its basic course.
Seal Stylation: Can't get your Seals to work the way you want? Need not fear, this'll teach you how NOT to make your Pokémon appear in an embarrasing mishmash of stuff.
Seal Creation: Heck, why not make your OWN Seals?! It's rather difficult, but the judges love stuff like this!
Outfit Coordination: There's no advanced course here, as it's just what you'd expect. Learn how to make you and your partner look great AND in sync!
Recurring things you'll get to see on the cruise. Fun for everyone, hopefully!
Combo Displays: Nightly, in-RP time. Examples of what some Pokémon can do when performing together.
Mantine / Lapras Schools: Rarely. It's not every day you get to see these, so treasure the moment while you can!
Coordi-Cup: Weekly, in-RP time. A friendly competition to see how everyone is developing!
Bonding Class: Almost daily, in-RP time. Get to know your Torchic so it stops blasting you in the face with fire.
Crossing to the Totean Tide: Just once, rather late into the RP. It's rumoured a bask of Totodile, Croconaw and Feraligatr live here. Hence the name Totean!

Age: 30. They're the founder, silly!
Gender: Transgender female, MTF. She/her.
Orientation (OPTIONAL): Believes she's pan and asexual.
Physical Appearance: At a somewhat intimidating 6'3, Cobalt is quite physically eccentric. Her skin is tanned and fair, with electric blue contact lenses shielding her originally green ones. There's quite a lot of neon coloured tattoos scattered over her body, and her black hair has a lot of yellow streaks in. Apparently it's from soaking up Sinnoh's sun.
Clothing: Despite being flashy, her clothing taste is oddly tame. She sticks for a white polo shirt and yellow shorts, a pair of birch sandals aiding her movement where she goes. She also has an ID card around her neck so folk know who she is.
Home Region + City/Town: Heahea City, Alola
Personality: Cobalt is a living bundle of energy. No matter what she does, she prides herself on helping everyone have fun no matter what. It's a tiny bit difficult for her to understand boundaries, but always apologises profusely if she upsets somebody. Yet despite all this, she's a beloved academy supervisor and loves her job a lot.

Clothing: Marina's fashion sense is soft and reserved. She wears a sky blue cardigan over a white tank top, as well as a knee-length cyan skirt and similarly coloured shoes. There's also a celadon green pouch by her side.
Home Region + City/Town: Iccirus City, Unova
Personality: Long story short, Marina is a huge social outcast. She hates being involved in conversations, and will often attempt to hide away if pressured into anything. She's extremely timid and antisocial, as well as very easy to bring to tears. Not very easy to comfort, though.
Any Pokémon?: Yes. A Palpitoad called Moore.
Participating in the Partner Trial?: Yes.
Any Courses Taken?(OPTIONAL): Basic Performance Arts, Outfit Coordination
Any Shiny Rolls?: Yes, one for Moore. Guess was 50 Higher, rolled 24.
Other Information: Mildly allergic to pollen and cat Pokémon. It's nothing deadly.

Here's what I got so far.

Hm, this looks fun!

Character Name: Aaron Barry
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Orientation: Heterosexual
Physical Appearance: Standing at a rather large 6’3”, Aaron tends to stand out in general. His eyes and hair are dark brown and he has mixed, slightly tan skin. He has a fit, semi-athletic frame that he gained simply from being outdoors and riding bikes a lot.
Clothing: Depends on the weather, but indoors/during average temperatures, he wears an unzipped gray hoodie and a golden shirt underneath, along with jeans and gray slip-on sneakers. When it is hot, his hoodie is removed and his jeans are replaced with shorts.
Home Region + City/Town: Hau‘oil City, Alola
Personality: Rather casual and friendly, Aaron enjoys hanging out with people and pokémon alike. He is rather intelligent and gentle as well, so he is the person to go to when you need someone to talk to. He can sometimes worry that people don’t like him, so he is a bit of a people pleaser because of it. He is an empath, so other people’s emotions tend to rub off on him easily.

Courses Taken: Basic Performance Arts, Delectables Training, and Outfit Coordination

Previously The failure
Hey! I'm sorry for butting in, but am I able to join in on this? If I'm allowed, I do have a few questions, but... It's been so long since I did a good roleplay, as I've been off of the site for... Quite a long time. A contest based roleplay seems rather fun and just the thing for getting back into paragraph-based roleplay!
