Ask to Join Arena Gladiators

Ry_Burst

Ry_Burst

This RP is about Pokemon Gijinkas. Years have passed and humans no longer exist. There is only Pokemon and Pokemon Gijinkas, while Gijinkas are the stronger and have the control. They have created a government, similar to the one the humans, once had, except now, it is all controlled by the strongest. The stronger you are the more power you and your family has. A common sport to watch is something called Arena Gladiators. Gijinjka prisoners, are chosen to fight in an arena for better treatment in the prison, and sometimes, even time taken off your sentence. The public watches these bouts and loves them. You are a Gijinka in a prison, or a guard. You can be a guard, gladiator (a prisoner who fights), or a regular prisoner.

Rules
1.) Follow all PRP rules and RP rules.
2.) No Legendaries or Mary Sues. This includes don't be the guy whos in there because he was framed, and is perfect. You could be there for something as simple s stealing to feed your family or something like that, but not because you were framed. The justice system in this world is extremely accurate, and they are very unlikely to just place you in jail.
3.) You can have as many OC's as you want, as long as you can keep track of them.
4.) Grammer and line length are important. Having a misspell or something like that is fine, but something like this "Bob walks to the jim and fites, and wins his bage. He jumped around happilyand bumps his head." That, not only is too short of a post, but his wrong tense, and too many misspells. Also remember PAST TENSE!
5.) Romance is allowed, just remember there are kids on this site. Don't have full on moments that shouldn't be on this site. Also violence is okay, but no murder, unless both parties agree to it, and I agree. Gijinkas can die, but under most circumstances the guards don't let it be to the death in the arena. That means they lose revenue, because they're down a fighter.

Nebula-Newt

Nebula-Newt

Name: Liam Rucker (Goes by Rucker)
Age: 23
Gender: male
Species: Sableye
Position in the Prison: Gladiator
Relationships: N/A
Appearance: stands at about 5ft 9 with a scruff of dark brown hair and a pair of Sableye ears sticking out of the top. He has one red eye and one blue but he does sometimes wear a pair of blue googles over them. He has a lithe figure, suited well for quick movements and agility. His limbs are black and only fade back to human skin in a kind of gradual effect after the shoulders or hips. His digits are elongated and almost claw like, pretty much what Sableye has. His grin is always a little creepy, it always seems if he has too many teeth in his mouth like a shark. Just a trick of the eye really. He wears a dark blue shirt underneath a permanently zipped up dark purple hoodie. Dark colour scheme I know. His trousers are a similar story, the same purple as his hoodie with black boots.
Personality: Rucker has a very skewed moral compass. He doesn't like the idea of rich people being evil because they have the money to avoid being evil so he steals from them. But he keeps it all for himself as he also feels like he earned it. Odd guy. That being said he tries not to hurt anybody without reason but if you get in his way your gonna have to be removed. Pretty solitary and not used to working with others but despite this he has a habit of getting involved in other people lives.
Reason for being here: Rucker went on a very long and large scale thieving spree, taking only from the richest of the rich and never leaving a trace of himself behind. His activities became so well known that he even acquired a nickname. "The Shade". Rucker quite likes it. Sadly his reign of terror came to an end when he was betrayed by a former partner of his.
Extra:
Gijinka abilities include: Being able to climb up sheer walls or stick to ceilings, eat minerals, has a natural talent at spotting anything worth stealing and a couple of pokemon moves such as shadow claw.

Figure I'll give this a shot. Why the heck not, right? Tell me if there's anything I should change.
I was also wondering about the special items the guards would get, and how the regular Pokemon moves would work.

Name: Ace Danger
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Species: Absol
Position in the Prison: Guard
Relationships: Friendship (Crystal, Aliah), Counseling (Bane), Trust (Vince)
Appearance: Has long white hair like the symbol for Yang with a single black streak on the right. Has beige skin and two eyes - one black and the other white. Has black hands and feet, as well as three claws on the end of each. Wears the normal prison guard uniform, but like to wear a white scarf and belt over it.
Personality: Naive and friendly. Feels sympathy for a lot of the prisoners here, and (when he can) tries to help them with their situation. Mostly through emotional means.
Equipment: Carries a taser and collapsible riot stick, but only because it's protocol. He also carries handcuffs, just in case. When forced to use a gun, always uses rubber bullets.
Extra: Closest thing to a guidance counselor the prison has. Pretty much the apprentice of Crystal, as she's showing him how things work. Currently trying to help Bane. Having problems, because the guy won't talk much. But he's being as patient as he can.

Name: Crystal Snow
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Species: Glaceon
Position in the Prison: Guard
Relationships: Friendship (Ace, Aliah), Trust (Vince)
Appearance: Has long, light blue hair with dark blue diamonds at the ends. Has two Glaceon ears, but likes to hide them underneath her snow-white tuque because they make her feel insecure. Wears the classic prison guard uniform and dark blue gloves and boots.
Personality: She's quite cold (pun absolutely intended) towards most people. Crystal is focused and stern. If someone makes a mistake, she's right on their ass. Crystal really only opens up to Ace, Vince and Aliah, as (as far as she's concerned) they're the only three in the building she can trust. If someone pisses her off, she can get really hostile. She's also extremely stubborn in any situation.
Equipment: A riot stick and taser as per protocol, but also carries an M1911 pistol and (in some extreme cases) an M16. She makes sure to always aim at the limbs, as hell will break loose if she shoots another inmate.
Extra: Absolutely unforgiving towards prisoners. This attitude has earned her the nickname of Frosty among the unruly prisoners. She's never afraid to show them why. She quite admires Ace's forgiveness and sympathy, even to the ones she thinks deserves none of it. She'd die before admitting this, though.

Name: Bane Waves
Age: 33
Gender: Male
Species: Blastoise
Position in the Prison: Prisoner
Relationships: Counseling (Ace)
Appearance: Has long, shaggy blonde hair and a large blue hat he always wears. He wears the same suit as most of the other inmates, but a large portion always sticks out the back. This, of course, is his shell. The shell has two water cannons locked inside, as he inherited from his ancestors. He also has a small tail, but it's so small that no one ever notices.
Personality: Quiet and solitary, but has a commanding presence. He usually doesn't need to ask twice to get something in the prison from one of his fellow inmates. Quite casual and nice with the guards... when he talks to them, that is.
Reason for being here: Doesn't like to talk much about his past, but he can often be heard saying "I screwed up" late at night. Some prisoners like to make theories, but barely anyone has actually managed to learn the truth. Why? He refuses to tell them.
Extra: Lives alone in a single cell. Currently under "counseling" with Ace, but they haven't made much progress. Bane never does anything against the prison, always following the rules... that is, unless someone pisses him off.

Moves are optional, to use, and guards get a larger array of weapons while gladiators only get weapons on the battlefield. Moves also would be warped to work with the gijinkas better.

Mind giving some expansion on that? For example, what equipment would be given to the guards specifically? And how would moves be restricted when in prison? Otherwise a Foretress could just use Self-Destruct and cause a prison break.
 
Ry_Burst

Ry_Burst

It would be more physical moves if using moves, like Poison Jab, or Mach Punch. Moves like Self Destruct of special attacks wouldn't be allowed. They don't have that due to the act their Gijinkas. Guards are allowed whatever weapons they prefer but are given a stationary club and taser.

I'll have it up tomorrow morning. Let's just say, I have to paint a closet, write two essays, finish 4 worksheets, all tonight, so I'm a bit booked for today. Also, feel free to tag anyone who might like it.

Screenshot_2016-12-05-20-15-06.png
Personality: Acts like a tough girl, but can be sweet at times. She doesn't like being messed with or be thought of as a weak girl. She's not afraid to be hostile towards others.
Reason for being here: Raven was minding her own business when she saw a Weavile mugging a little Braixen. She stopped the Weavile but she beat him up badly. When the police arrived, she was arrested for brutal assault.
Extra: Raven is able to produce electricity and turn her tail into steel.

Well, this should be interesting... this might be a bit awkward for me at first since this is the first time in a while that I'm roleplaying with an adult Pokémon character/human. (I'll give props to the one that can figure out where the weapon my character has are from. :3)

Name: Her name is Aliah Solima.
Age: She is roughly 20 Years old.
Gender: Female
Species: Ampharos
Position in the Prison: Guard (In more depth, she acts as the Nurse for the wounded should a guard suffer injuries from inmates in any situation.)
Relationships: She has no relationships at the moment, though she may have a crush on someone later on in the roleplay.
Appearance: Standing at a shorter than average height of four feet and ten inches, she has yellow conical ears on her head that are slightly hidden from her messy, black hair. There is a small, light red orb on her forehead. Her skin is in a pale tone, as she can often seen in her two piece scrubs outfit since it is rather comfortable for her. She has on a white lab coat that has several pockets that goes over her top scrubs. She wears yellow tennis shoes that go over her clawed feet, as she also has a tapering, yellow, black-striped tail that has a slightly larger red orb that glows brightly.
Personality: Aliah is one that can be rather quiet, but then suddenly outraging within the next moment. She can be malicious and stern against most prisoners, since she despises them for the bad that they have done; not to mention that she knows that some would possibly go as far as to injuring the other guards. Although she can seem like an intimidating doctor to some, she can reveal her soft side to others that she really trusts.
Equipment: Aside from having the standard taser and club, she carries around an H&K MP5M that was modified with the help of a gunsmith to have certain attachments of her needs and to be able to use another type of caliber. The MP5M has a dual magazine that has different calibers. There are .22 LR rubber tipped rounds affixed with electrical charges designed to incapicate the target in the first magazine, and .40 S&W rounds in the other that are designed to eliminate any prisoners with ease in the sweet spot should they rebel against her or any other guards. On the rail of the MP5M lies a small device that shoot darts that will heal whoever the dart hits. In her pockets of her lab coat lies some of her medicinal tools that she carries around; along with some spare ammunition and darts for her H&K MP5M.
Extra: She is known by some guards as Nursey, since she treats their injuries well and with haste in the treatment center. (Though she is hated by some prisoners as a result of being a doctor for the guards.)

Well sure, go for it! (I might start Aliah off in the roleplay with her treating an injured guard that's an NPC and a minor character for the most part.)
 
Le Marsouin

*A Jigacho sits down in the roleplay discussion in his booster seat*

Something about what? Isn't it normal for a Nurse to be treating the injured? (Especially since prisons are notorious for guards being injured by prisoners?)
 
Le Marsouin

Le Marsouin

*The Jigacho gulps and curls in a ball*

Oh, right... I kinda wonder how Aliah would handle it then once the time comes. (As another note, the guard that she is treating will be unconscious since it does involve more than just bandaging wounds and applying medicine to it.)
 
Le Marsouin

Le Marsouin

Oh my... that's one frosty guard there... I could only imagine what she'd do to the Prison's worst prisoner.

*the Jigacho falls over from accidentally flipping the booster seat in fright*
 
Le Marsouin

Well, it'll be ICE to meet her since I assume that she is going to be with her from the start judging from what I read. Hopefully she can keep her COOL with the guard before the effects of the conscistasis medicine wear off.

*an Axovenio can be seen hiding behind the Jigacho*

@Nebula-Newt: Sadly, it's not based off of that, though that was a really good guess.

Well, umm... I just need to ask a rather urgent question that will be reasonable for the double post in the discussion.

So, since my character is going to be performing some surgery on the NPC in my first post, is there any rules against how hurt the patient can be? (I.e. Strong hemmoraging, lacerations, foreign objects in the patient, performing lobectomies, etc.)
 
Ry_Burst

Ry_Burst

Just keep it reasonable involving gore. It could be a bad wound, or worse, but don't go too into detail on how it looks and such. Don't focus directly on what exactly is being done, but vaguely enough so people know the basics.

Also a possibility on what you could do, is in my post there was a fight. A guard could have gotten hurt in it.
