Open Camp Pikachu (Discussion/Sign-Ups)

Welcome to Camp Pikachu, where kids can act out adventures from their favorite Pokémon games and cartoons, battling other teams to earn points and badges and, if they're lucky, make it into the Summer Camp Hall of Fame! But things at this camp are about to get a lot wilder when a magical incident links the Pokemon world’s version of the camp to theirs. How will these regular kids deal with real Pokemon, battling, and other trainers?

-Storyline-

Basically, a Pokémon-themed summer camp gets flipped upside down when a device in the Pokémon world accidentally causes a reality-warping incident that links the summer camp to the Pokemon dimension’s summer camp. Shenanigans ensue as normal teenagers have to deal with actual Pokemon and other Pokemon trainers.

Personality: Benjamin is a friendly, social, and energetic boy who enjoys hanging out with others. He is rather casual when interacting with other people, although he's not above petty complaining or overreacting if he feels annoyed or shocked enough.

He's really into Pokemon, knowing a lot of information about the franchise.
Sexuality: Bisexual
Backstory: A regular teenager from a family with 4 children, he often went unnoticed in his family. He was commonly teased and bullied in school for his fascination with Pokemon, but he hid it behind comedy and laughter, never letting anyone see his pain. But now with Pokémon entering the real world, it’s his time to shine.
Skills: With a near encyclopedic knowledge of Pokemon, he’s very good at identifying Pokémon, stats, trivia, moves, items, and battle strategies, making him perfect in this situation.

Name: Alexis
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Alexis  screenshot.png

Personality: Alexis is someone that many consider over prepared, seemingly carrying the right tools for the job no matter where she goes. Basically, she's considered ridiculously useful despite her appearance. Otherwise she's generally kind, preferring to keep to herself but willing to interact with others a few at a time. Being introverted, social events with lots of people greatly tax her mental wellness to the point that she will need at least a day to recharge.
Sexuality: Straight
Backstory: Alexis is a regular teenager that grew up on a livestock farm in the state of Pennsylvania. Her family tended to chickens, cows, goats, horses, pigs, sheep, etc. Basically all the animals that you'd typically think of. They ran an organic farm where they liked to take care of things the old-fashioned way; with little to no machinery. Alexis especially loved taking care of the dogs and horses.
On her farm, Alexis was not only supposed to care for the animals but defend them as well. To that end, she learned to hunt and shoot a bow and arrow, keeping an eye out for coyotes. She'd occasionally take it extremes and camp out for the night waiting for them, including school nights. She has managed to take a few out, but that doesn't mean she liked it.
Despite all of the work she put in to the farm, she still managed to play one Pokemon game or another in her downtime, silently wishing for a chance to interact with such amazing creatures. Especially those that are more dog or horse like.
Sadly, she had gotten involved in a stampede while she was on the ground that resulted in her left arm and both of her legs being rendered completely useless and requiring amputation. Needless to say, relearning how to walk with her prosthetics was a long and grueling process.
Skills: Tracking, Horseback Riding, Archery, Survival, Animal Handling, Camping
Others: She can't swim

Name: Farah
Species: Ponyta
Gender: Female
Ability: Flame Body
Moves: Flame Charge, Stomp, Flame Wheel, Tackle
Personality: Despite being a Fire type, Farah is actually fairly calm a majority of the time. However, she is also very excitable and loves to run and play.

Name: Maggie
Species: Houndour
Gender: Female
Ability: Flash Fire
Moves: Flamethrower, Bite, Smog, Thunder Fang
Personality: Maggie is just about as curious and nosy as any real dog, with little to no respect for personal space. Due to this, she hates being confined to her PokeBall and prefers traveling on foot. It actually helps her burn off excess energy.

I know it's not quite finished, but here's what I have so far. What do you think?

Hmmm, might see about giving this a shot to try and get back in to charms RP.

Name: Samuel "Sam" Bell
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Standing at 5'0" with a slim body figure, fair colored skin, short and smooth light dull Brown hair and Emerald green eyes. His main choice of clothing is a light gray zip up hoodie under an open black jacket long enough to pass his waist, but not his knees, dull blue jeans and black sneakers with white soles. He also wears Black rectangular glasses
Personality: Samuel comes of as a seemingly shy individual, preferring to keep to himself than interact with many people at once, preferring not to be the one to start the conversation unless he feels like he has to... which isn't often. He doesn't like to show his emotions too much, but will do so if push comes to shove, the main emotions he would show is getting flustered whenever women compliment him. He has a very strong love for Pokemon as well. (Surprise surprise)
Sexuality: Straight
Backstory: Samuel was born a regular person in a regular world, the only child of two loving parents. Samuel's life was nothing too special, especially when he was usually considered the quiet boy in school, though thankfully he managed to blend in to the background well enough to keep bullies from targeting him. He loved Pokemon as he was growing up, often spending hours on end playing the latest game... but with the fact that Pokemon were now actual existing creatures in the same world as his, this is the start of a new chapter in Samuel's life.
Skills: He is said to be a fast learner, capable of adapting to situations quickly.
Others: Without his glasses, his vision gets so blurry that he can barely see past his own nose.

Species: Golett
Gender: N/A
Ability: Iron Fist
Moves: Shadow Punch, Mud Slap, Rock Tomb, Protect
Personality: Quiet and curious, they took quite a liking to Samuel since they were the first Pokemon he saw. Samuel first met them when he lost his glasses and Golett was the one who found and gave them back to him, giving him quite a shock when he put them on.

Species: Cufant
Gender: Male
Ability: Sheer Force
Moves: Stomp, Bulldoze, Rock Smash, Rollout
Personality: Friendly and fun loving, Cufant is more cheerful than his brethren, contrary to Samuel, Cufant is more extroverted and is always eager to meet new people and make new friends... though he can be a bit naive at times.

Yeah, but you start off start with 1 to 3 unevolved Pokemon. They do not get them until the first night, the first day is spent developing the characters, counselors, and the camp. You can catch other Pokémon and evolve your Pokémon later.
 
Does that mean you'll be the one to choose which Pokemon appear as the RP progresses and it's up to us on whether we catch them or not? Aside from the Pokemon shown in our character bios.
 
Characters have to be regular teens and not pokemon trainers already?

The () in the Backstory section kinda implies you can be pokemon trainer when in the camp
 
Name: Andy Richter
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Appearance: Long Khaki pants that have quite a few pockets, with the leg sections going down to the sneakers, a light blue polo long sleeve shirt black sneakers with a Pikachu tail thunderbolt design. Andy also packed a pair of blue jeans, a thick sweater that's mainly gray with red sleeves and tan leather boots for Tundra-like areas. As long as the clothes are clean, Andy isn't one for fashion though he could resemble a walking kaleidoscope to some. Aside from that, he will always strive to look presentable.


Carries a smile of cautious optimism, keeping a close eye out for new friends or unexpected events or new areas. Andy walks with great posture giving off an air of confidence that most people will take notice of, it makes him quite easy to talk to without looking as if he's seeking attention. He is also a little bit on the thin side, and with black hair that is done in a buzz cut

Personality: Andy is eager to observe the world around him and somewhat inquisitive. That inquisitiveness has made him very bright in terms of knowledge of nature but has also led to an unhealthy sense of danger because of it. Due to still being young, he is still a little naive, which results in him falling for pranks, such as April Fools pranks. However, when this does happen, he will see it as a learning experience and, in fact occasionally going along with it knowing full well that it’s a prank for the sake of humor. One example of this comes from Ratattas or other prankster pokémon hiding his items all over Mahogany Town, the pokémon themselves belonging to other trainers. The scavenger hunts don't bother him as he sees the pokémon as being playful or silly. Andy has high morals and won't allow anything to happen to his friends, going out of his way to try and settle disputes between other locals, even though it's clearly none of his business, telling the truth whenever he does something wrong, or just being around for people that have had bad days. This does lead to him getting into some sticky situations, however, such as people ignoring Andy during a dispute, at which point he will leave them alone.

Andy will start out shy to any person or pokèmon but will gradually warm up to them as time goes on and strive above most things to keep his friends happy, beware he will run away from anyone that lashes out at him. Battle-wise Andy favors being more on the defensive side, envisioning pokémon battles to be more like chess matches rather than matches of power preferring to pick his opponents apart with strategy instead.

Sexuality: Straight
Backstory: History: Born into a quaint, moderately sized house in Mahogany Town Andy was an introvert at the start of his childhood, clinging mainly to his parents, Bob and Martha Richter for protection due to extreme shyness. This led to him being homeschooled and learning basic reading, writing, and math from them. The parents wanted him to make some friends with any other kids at their favorite spot, which also happens to be where the parents met, Corsola Cove, around Mt Mortar, dubbed that due to the abundance of Corsola present. However, if they tried to help him he would run away without saying a word with a very scared expression on his face, thus leading the local kids in Mahogany to label him an oddball.

This continued until age 6 during one routine day at Andy's now favorite area. He was busy making little designs in the sand, with his parents watching him while they were lounging around. That is until a Water Ball pokémon popped its head out of the water. The Azurill, as identified by Mr. and Mrs. Richter who still carried pokèdexes just in case, merrily bounced up to the trio with a squeak. This was Andy's first encounter with a pokémon so initially, he recoiled away from it. The Aqua Mouse Pokémon just waved its bouncy tail at him, smiled and squeaked once more which made Andy more cautious now more than afraid as he reached out to pet the Marill of which it took full comfort in. Bob and Martha saw this occur and became overjoyed that their bundle of nerves seemed to have taken a shine to a pokémon and potential new friend. After a whole day of play by Andy and his new found poké-friend, Azurill, the Richters got ready to return to Mahogany Town. Before they left, she squeaked again, waved using that tail of hers and walked back into the lake.


From then on, Andy slowly became more outgoing. By age 10 thanks to repeated visits to see Azurill, he was at least being more vocal with the Mahogany Town locals, unless it was the first time meeting a person, in that case, he would start out timid but warm up to him or her after a few minutes of conversation. Andy's homeschooling was going well too, he was learning Middle School levels of reading, writing, and math. Though he was homeschooling well, he wasn't as interested as much. His love of nature though never really diminished, still wanting to go to places along Johto such as Corsola Cove, Ecruteak City, and Olivine City, as well as keeping an eye on his neighbor's potted plants.

During the year before his 12th birthday, Andy’s adventurous side started showing up. He would sneak out during the night to explore the areas around Mahogany; not going too much farther than that because he didn't want to worry his mom and dad, he was very respectful of them after all. He yearned to head tonot just the rest of the Johto region, but any other regions out there learning about the many cultures and pokémon present throughout with his own pokémon, little did he know they both were planning quite a surprise for him.

On his 13th birthday, the parents let him have a chance at his own adventure, before all that though, was the usual happy birthday Andy followed by the birthday cake and presents which included a backpack, a flashlight as well as a very special, secret surprise that Andy's parents decided to keep secret from him, a certain blue mouse. The soon-to-be nurse was very excited about all the goodies until he remembered he still needed a pokémon. Suddenly, he heard a familiar sounding squeak. He lit up like a Blitzle charging up a Thunder attack. He picked up the Aqua Mouse and paraded around the house and hugged it followed by the parents for getting his first real friend. His first 'adventure' wouldn't be in his home region , but in a pokémon summer camp to learn how to care for such creatures, a pokémon kindergarten of sorts.

Skills: gardening, swimming, berry identification, very rudimentary first-aid (applying bandages and wound disinfection.) baking (though he did almost burn his parents house down)

Others: Possibly takes the 'pokémon are sentient beings' belief a tad too far. He will ask pokémon if they want to evolve, in spite of the power gap remaining unevolved presents

Pokemon

Name: Aquamarine
Species: Azurill
Gender: female
Ability: huge piwer
Moves: splash, water gun, helping hand, Aqua jet

Personality: A cheerful mouse that is a social butterfree. Usually out of her pokeball, the mouse will greet people with a few squeaks and lots of hopping on her tail. If she had her way, she would just explore areas with Andy, she will however try very hard to win battles when needed.

@PokémonFan567 If you want to start out as a Pokémon trainer, you’ll have to join in later, when we go through the reality warping incident.

Alternatively, starting out a regular teen means that you are just a normal teenager who is probably interested in the Pokémon franchise (like the real world).
