Ask to Join Haunted [Horror Gijinka RP||Sign Up and OOC]

Hello there! The following is an 18+ roleplay due to graphic horror, strong language and the potential for some heavy topics, however it will not contain explicit sexual content. Please proceed with caution.

(The following is written in second person to introduce you to the plot, however as per site rules the actual roleplay will be in third person.)

At one time, you were a trainer like any other. You had your pokemon, your friends, your family... When it all started, you had no intention of giving it all up. How did you end up here anyway? There was a letter had delivered to you by an oddly quiet scientist, offering you a large sum of money for participating in a research study. Whatever your reasons, you decided to take up the offer, sign the consent form and make your way to the Sinnoh region. You find the hidden path, and follow it to a strange lake in the middle of the woods. As you consider descending the cliffs, something attacks you from behind, knocking you out before you have time to fight back. You wake up in a plain room, plain white without any apparent doors. Some kind of trick room, a psychic barrier keeping you from seeing the truth. After some time, though, they come for you. Your pokemon are gone, along with your personal items. There is little you can do as they lead you through twisting, sterile corridors, to a strange room that seems like some kind of like a mix between a small lab and a doctors office. They take a swab of your cheek, nearly causing you to gag, and tell you that you'll be involved in an experiment to create what are known as "Gijinka", or pokemon and human hybrids. The science is solid, using induced pluripotent stem cells and CRISPR/CAS genetic engineering to be able to mutate your genome, allowing you to become a creature of incredible power. Being among the first tests, though, its not guaranteed to be a painless, simple process. Plenty can go wrong, there's no guarantee that what they expect will happen. Will you be able to survive and escape the compound, or will you become a slave in their quest for power? Even if you make it out, could such a freak truly survive in the real world?
Summary:
To summarize the topic of this roleplay in a few words, it is a genetically engineered Gijinka roleplay in which the experimentation tends to go terribly wrong for the subjects.

To be more descript, your character is a trainer who, for whatever reason, decides to take up a strange offer to participate in some kind of incredibly vague clinical research that promises a large sum of money. Showing up on the Spring Path in the Sinnoh region, they end up being kidnapped and locked up, to become partipants in genetic engineering research aimed to merge the genes of humans and pokemon into a creature with far more power than either species alone, called a Gijinka. The process is relatively simple, starting with your character giving a cheek swab sample upon arrival, and then (at the start of the roleplay) receiving an injection around the collar bone. This begins the process of transforming their body, which can take anywhere from hours to weeks to complete part or all of it. As may be expected, this process is not perfect, and it is more than likely that plenty will go wrong. For example (and you are free to use these when designing your character):
  • A multi-headed pokemon results in the growth of extra heads and/or extra personalities
  • A ghost pokemon may actually die in the process of transforming
  • A fire type may suffer constant burning or be unable to control their fire
  • A fish pokemon may develop gills
  • An electric type may accidentally zap themselves or electrify things around them.
  • A bird pokemon may grow wings that are too big or heavy for them, and/or have to deal with their bones being hollowed out.
  • A psychic pokemon may be unable to control their mind reading/telekinesis/future sight/etc.
  • A steel type may have their skin turn to actual steel
And I'm sure there are plenty of other ideas that can be developed for individual characters and pokemon, based on their quirks or species specific powers or descriptions (eg a human who takes pride in their appearance becoming a pokemon they consider "ugly", a character who wanted to fly being ironically made a non-winged flying type, a Gardevoir that accidentally forms small black holes when defending themself or others, a Cubone that wears their mother's skull, etc).

Setting:
As previously stated, the roleplay begins with the characters receiving their injection, and starting the process of their transformation. During this process, all characters stay in a large, biosphere like structure, with a decently sized lake, a small forest with plenty of berry trees, about 10 feet of soil (beneath which is a thick metal plate), a small, artificial volcanic zone with something like a fountain of lava, and even some artificial weather. Around the biosphere is a strong Trick Room, making impossible for even a rather strong Gijinka to reach the steel walls of the enclosure. Here they are free to act as they choose, although any (caught) attempts at escape or killing another subject will result in them being removed and placed in solitary confinement and likely receiving some form of "corrective action" before they are released back into the biosphere.

Rules:
I have a few personal requests, beyond typical site rules. First, although this is an 18+ roleplay, I won't tolerate any sexual relations in the RP proper. If you want to imply something happened, that's between you and the owner of the other character, and anything extra can be taken elsewhere. Second, although this roleplay is intended to be pretty hefty on body horror, I would appreciate if you could put fore warnings on posts that are especially heavy on this aspect with a little summary of what to expect, in case any of the content following crosses a certain line for some people, and especially if it starts to fall into territory that some would consider to be mildly sexual. I know this may seem a bit excessive for a roleplay that specifically falls into the horror category, but I want the most people possible to be able to enjoy this, even if their tolerance for horror or gore has different boundaries than others. For example, while I'm comfortable with intense descriptions of gore, anything that falls into a puppet-like territory is too much for me, however someone else might feel the exact opposite. Lastly I ask that you be self-accountable. If something comes up and you can't participate for a while or drop the roleplay completely, please let us know so that no one's character is left hanging in the middle of an interaction. This also means that I am not setting a character limit, however I recommend only starting with one or maybe two characters until you get into the swing of things and develop a better idea of what you can handle without letting any characters fall to the side. Finally, this means that, although characters in the roleplay are intended to be rather powerful, I'm trusting you to not to make your character obscenely powerful and staying within realistic limits. Yes, this means you can only be one type of pokemon, and that pokemon cannot be legendary or mythical. This also mean you can't possibly know every move possible for your pokemon, learn moves outside of your pokemon type, nor start out at an obscenely high level.

Asking to Join:
If you wish to join, please leave a little description of your character on this thread, including important information like name, gender, pokemon, etc. I'll be compiling the information on this introductory post as a little blurb for quick reference, as well as linking to your description. This means you can update that description at any time, I just ask that you let us know with a new post if any of the information you added/changed wasn't explicitly stated in the roleplay, ie if you change something that you previously stated about their backstory, or if you change something about their final appearance that hasn't been encountered in the roleplay yet. Non-examples include if your character cuts their hair in the roleplay, or they clearly develop a crush on another character and you add this updated information to that description post.

Current Characters:
Jamie the female Yamask
Nova the male Flareon

Authors note: I'm still new to this site, and although I read up on the rules before posting this, I still worry whether or not I fall within them. Please let me know if there is anything out of line here or that should be changed, thanks!

Jamie the Yamask
Pre-transformation: Jamie at one time was a girl that had pretty much everything in life handed to her. She was born to a wealthy family in the Kalos region, who adored and doted on her as she grew up. As a girl it seemed all she ever heard was adoring relatives commenting things like "how cute!", "Look at those gorgeous golden locks!" and "Oh was pretty blue eyes! She'll get all the young men when she gets older!" Indeed, growing up she had all the popularity she could ask for: all the right friends, all the right styles, and a the terrible personality that left girls singing their own version of Jolene. At the end of the day, she was a brat, who insisted she got her way, no matter who she stepped on to get there. With time, this would drive away even the friends who had flocked to her for her status and wealth. Despite this, she decided at the ripe age of 18 to elope with her current boyfriend, who shared equal wealth and influence to hers. Because of this, her parents cut her off from all financial support, which angered her enough to refuse to ever make amends with them.

It wasn't long after this however that her fiance grew tired of her abuse of him and his wealth, and called off their relationship, severing all ties with her completely. At the time she received the mysterious letter, the only thing she had to her name was a suitcase full of clothes and her lone pokemon companion, a Persian that had served more as a fashion accessory and excuse to look cute battling along side her fiance. She had attempted to level up Persian and use battling as a source of income, but it paid very little, especially considering she was rather weak for the area she found herself in. The idea of fast money was welcome to her at that point, and without question she signed the paperwork enclosed and made her way to the Sinnoh region with the Ferry tickets that were provided to her.

Post-transformation: Jamie's terrible transformation results in her death and reincarnation as a ghost. Her skin turns completely black, and like a Yamask, her legs change into one long tendril, and her arms and hands stretch out to large proportions that tend to simply hang by her sides. She appears to be wearing a large hood with fairly heavy material, which she can pull down to hide her bright red eyes, and the red tear streaks that seem to be carved into her face. Everywhere she goes, she carries her old face as a gold mask, which she often looks at and mourns her past life. Although she does, in part, mourn her own lost beauty and those times when everything was perfect, she has begun to learn her lesson that life could have been so much more if she hadn't focused so much on herself. I definitely wouldn't say she's completely reformed and suddenly a model citizen, so give her some time to learn and grow, especially when it comes to being a half descent person.

Here is an old picture of her post transformation. When I can, I'll probably update this image.
 
Nova the Flareon

Pre-Transformation:

Nova, a male with ocean blue eyes and silky golden hair. He lived with a poor family, not having enough to support them for the month. Nova would go out and battle trainers to get money for the family. His father would lend him his extremely powerful Talonflame to do so, witch became his own pokèmon after some time. He wasn't one to judge people by what they have or how they speak to him, but when someone badmouths about him or his family, he goes into full rage mode and wounds them by making Talonflame burn them. Overall, Nova was a boy with a few words, he always has ideas on what to do when someone is down or when they're in a sticky situation. When Nova got the letter and saw that he could get a lot of money (obviously for his parents) he instantly said yes, not knowing that his whole life was about to change.

Post-Transformation:

Turning into this monster was something Nova certainly couldn't erase with anger. His teeth were sharp and his hair was crimson red. Nova's eyes were still ocean blue but his nails were yellow, three centimetres long and pointy. A strip of his hair was yellow and perched ontop of his head were two Flareon ears. Nova had a Flareon tail too and his skin colour was a paper-white. But Nova's appearance wasn't what set him off, it was him constantly getting consumed by his flames. But worst of all, was that second personality in him. It, witch he called Flare, constantly set him on fire and sometimes even took over his body, it was a curse. Nova would normally be seen crying, obviously about his mother, father and two sisters that depended in him coming back with money, but will they be satisfied with their only son being a monstrosity?




There we go, I hope I explained enough!
 
Neo the Reuniclus
Pre-transformation history/personality:

Neo was invisible. That's what it felt like to him. Only a few people excluding his parents know his name, or anything about him at all. He wasn't jealous of all the people that did have some form of following. Honestly, he wouldn't trade it for anything. His anonymity was special.
The only thing he enjoyed was Pokemon battling. His Pokemon, Flame the Growlith, Fuzz the Joltik, and Chappie the Exeggcute, helped him win against some trainers and gain a bit of a name with a few kids in the town. Nobody knew him outside of "that guy", however. When the call went out about an experiment, his parents told him to jump at the opportunity. He left with his Pokemon to find this place.

Pre-transformation appearance:

Neo has pale skin, black eyes and dark brown hair. He's not very tall, and average weight. He wears a dark blue hoodie, a black shirt and grey pants. He's got a necklace with a sapphire at the end, teardrop cut.

Post-transformation personality:

Neo after the transformation was... Well, about the same. He stayed completely antisocial, despite only having a couple of people near. He's not keen on his new form, but is taking it as it comes. He just hopes that one day, if and when he escapes, that he'll find someplace to live in secret. For know, he's glad nobody knows about the place. He also has some form of split-personality disorder. One side of him is empathetic and energetic, while the other is dark and, well, dead inside.

Post-transformation appearance:

Beginning:
Not much happens in the first stage of his transformation. His skin has a light layer of green gel surrounding it, but his clothes flow right through it. His arms also have some light layers of color, but are barely visible.

Mid-stage:
The gel around his skin has grown thicker, but he can still were his clothes, mostly his hoodie. His arms now have a distinct separation, and the colors are deeper. His hair has turned into a deep white, showing lime green to outsiders. His head has a large cut through it, from his forehead to the back of his neck.

End:
His arms, or should I say, organelles are now full circles. Neo's feet are now stubs, and he floats above the ground by about two inches. Other than that, and the changes mentioned before, not much has happened. He still wears the same clothes, as they seem to be the only things other than him that can pass through the thick, almost solid gel layer above his skin.

I've had a more grotusce Gijinka in mind, so this seems to be the right place.
 
Both Nova and Neo sound awesome~ I'll add them to the top post!

I plan to wait little longer to see if anyone else joins before I start the main thread. It'll probably take me a little while to write the introductory post anyway, it's a busy day for me and I'm a slow writer. ^^U
 
Alrighty the main thread has been made! Feel free to jump in as you like, and I'll still be accepting characters for a while, probably up until we reach a point where their sudden appearance can't be explained, at which point I'll set the tag to Closed.
 
Troy/Frostbite/Plague the Hydreigon

Pre-transfomation :

Troy used to be nothing more than a caring boy, with rich chocolate brown hair and honey brown eyes, he was a talented trainer and writer, whenever he and his Aegislash Arthur weren't training he would sit and write a story, then publish it for money income, and whenever he wasn't doing that he would spend time in his garden caring for it, 80% of his money would go for charity and he would help all the new trainers he meets, but soon his lifestyle started to affect him in many ways, his time spent writing and gardening has limited his socialising time to when he trains, his lack of interaction with others has slowly caused him to become heartless and empty of emotions, sometimes he'd spend the whole night awake in the garden, his lack of sunlight made him pale and lack of sleep made dark rings around his eyes, he was working on a story with two characters known as Frostbite and Plague but his emotionlessness has seeped into his stories, soon he no longer got money because his books won't sell, he lost his house and everything in it, he didn't care for finding a proper job so he decided to put his talent with nature to use.
Every 3 weeks he would go to a random house and offer its owners to work in there garden for 3 weeks in return of giving him a place to stay the nights and enough food to keep him alive, he was ok with sleeping in sleeping bags on the basement floor, with his 3 daily meals consisting of nothing but a loaf of bread, a handful of grapes and a glass of Milk, one day he was offered a good sum of cash in return of helping with something he didn't care for what it was, as long as he got money he was willing to accept, for it can itch when all you wear everyday are some old rags and a tattered cloak paired with grey jeans, not to forget food and shelter was also needed

Post-transformation :

Troy had been through many things since his arrival, his once tidy Rich Chocolate Brown hair has became Coal Black and messy, the whiteness of his eyes and his irises turned amathyst purple making his black pupils look like tiny dots, his teeth now jagged fangs as sharp as broken glass, purple scales covering his hands from fingertips to his wrist, black scales covering his arms from wrist to his elbows, a tail swishing around behind him, a purple feathery mane around his neck.
But the worst of all was his 2 other sides he has developed, they weren't like two other personalities, they where like separate entities, with their own names, voices and personalities.
When plage was in control his purple eyes change to red, he was short tempered, barbaric, black hearted, bloodthirsty and homicidal, his voice boils blood in fear.
When Frostbite was in control his purple eyes change to blue, he was sadistic, masochistic, cold hearted, enjoyed torturing and the sound of bones breaking, his voice chills blood in dread.
Troy is in constant struggle to keep control over the two
 
Hey, umm... I have to say something.

Ive read through the first post a few times, and i've decided this roleplay's not for me. I don't like strong language, and even though I'm fine with gore, I don't like it. Sorry for quitting so early.
 
This caught my eye. Note that I'm not really the recommended age? But it'll be fine, right? Right? Anyways...
Jackson Blunth, the Serperior

Pre-transformation

Before receiving the flier, Jackson was a vagrant. A poor boy wandering astray in Kalos alongside his Vulpix and Dusclops companions. Despite him being "Homeless" (Technically he could still go home, but the real reason he started roaming was the fact his father hadn't returned in over a month), he still kept up a nice appearance (Most of the time) and positive attitude...as a hopeless flirt. He did get some on and off, but they soon were detracted by his childish attitude. He...wasn't really a great person.

Of course, once he received the offer, he couldn't refuse. Because what woman didn't want a man with money? Of course, he wasn't aware of what awaited him...

As for appearance, Jackson stood a good 6" foot. His hair was a light brown, skin tanned a fair bit. A pair of sunglasses rested consistently over his eyes (Which are a blue sheen), and fashionably dressed (Though these nice clothes were dirty and worn). I'll describe them in detail later.

Post-Transformation

His transformation has three stages. This happens in around the course of three days, give or take.

-In the first, he gains an extra 2 inches in height. Green scales start forming on his back and near the base of his spine (Rear). Jackson's hands and arms become noticeably thinner and weaker, but otherwise function as normal. His clothes are also functionally the same, that being a short-sleeved button up vest, which would cover a black shirt. His pants are a pair of jeans, a nice navy blue color. Nothing too remarkably different. His personality is unchanged as well.

-This is where changes start really happening. His height has increased another 3 inches, and the scales on his back have evolved into a short tail, which mimics the end of a Seperior's. It slowly becomes longer over the course of a few hours. The scales also have several leaves spurting up between them. His tongue has become forked, and when ever he utters the letter "s" it becomes elongated into several more. (Like "Sssserperior.") His arms have become even thinner and malnourished, alongside his legs. The scales have spread down his thighs and feet, and his legs have become bulkier than normal.

-The most dramatic changes happen here. Anything human below his waist are gone, being replaced with a very thick tail, mimicking a Seperior's still. His body now is completely coated in the green scales, save his head. His speech is littered with hissing and elongated "s" pronunciations. His forked tongue flickers in and out quite often. And his once blue eyes were tainted a deep red. Not of malice, no, Jackson's personality and being is mostly there. Mostly, since his transformation seems to have made him more flirtatious than usual. He no longer wears clothes, though there is nothing revealing thanks to his tail.

Hopefully that wasn't confusing. I always feel what makes sense to me may not make sense to others. In any case, I can make changes based around it if necessary. Also worth noting I probably won't be too quick to respond, this is kind of one those Roleplays I'll work on the side, so...no real fast replies, okay? Sorry :p
 
I understand Sciencewars, I didn't really think about the language when I made the OOC thread, it was kind of until I got into writing and felt out the character that it happened. For future reference I'll be adding it to this threads warnings as well.

Troy is accepted!

Jackson is also accepted, just proceed with caution~ I probably could have made this 15+ to be honest, but with thegore element (and now the strong language) of it I figured I'd go up to 18 to be safe.

... Huh, oddly enough we have quite a few guys and one girl. That's not bad, it's just very opposite of most roleplays I've done before, which always seem to be female heavy.
 
Pre transformation:
Ava Mires (The Zoroark) was a simple girl. She was homeschooled by her parents because they didnt have enough money to send her to a real school, so theres things she doesnt know, and things she does know about pokemon. But she'll learn it in time. Because her family didnt have much money for food and ect. Ava always helped her neighbors and "friends" with things, such as mowing lawns, raking leaves, housesitting pokemon. Until she had recieved a mysterious letter, talking about helping with an experiment, and it had talked about netting a large amount of money. She had accepted, and was soon on her way.
On the way, She wore navy blue jeans, and a plain black T-shirt, She has short black hair, and normal brown eyes, with a pale skin color. She had been given a small frog like pokemon, but their "bond" didnt last long, She was sedated while hiking up a mountain that was said to lead to this "place." She no longer knows nothing of her past, and sits in a white room, not knowing what happend.

Post Transformation:
She now has red hair that reaches down to her waist, Purple eyes, and fur that covers her mid section up until her neck,Her arms are starting to twist into those of a Zoroark,but otherwise the rest down is normal. Shes now 5"2 instead of 4"11, Her speech is sometimes filled with growls,snarls and whimpers. Shes quiet and observant, looking for an end to this nightmare.

Extra:

Due to her being a Zoroark, she sometimes transforms into people she faintly remembers, and sometimes the people around her, She cant control it, unfortunately.
 
Hey, for future reference this is the Discussion thread, which means if you have OOC talk or questions please put them here and not in the main thread. The only OOC in the main thread should be within an in-character post, and it should be in relation to something within the post, not just chatter.
 
Hm... Do you have room for one more? I'm considering joining this RP, but I don't have the time at the moment to write up a backstory for my character, whoever that may be, at the moment. I'm perfectly fine with the stronger language and everything, even though I'm not 18+, so could I still join this?
 
Yep! Again under 18 it's kind of "proceed at your own risk" stuff. I'll still be taking sign ups for a while, so take your time~
 
Thanks! Just got it done! vv

Name
:
Hester
Gender: female
Pokemon: Litwick

Backstory:
Pre-Transformation:
History:
I warn you now: self-harm is brought up here. Just tell me if this is taking it too far, okay? A six-year-old Hester wanted nothing more than friends. She had one, yes, but she wished with all her heart for a group. When this want grew too much for the friend, he left her all alone. Hester grew lonely, isolated by all she came across. This feeling quickly became something more, something the girl did not like to think about. That something was depression. After being clinically diagnosed with the disorder, she was able to get her hands on a knife.

Everything went down the drain from there.

Having no Pokemon partners and no caring family during these hard eight years helped in no way. By the time she received her letter in the mail, which was thrown in her general direction by her father, many scars had made their homes on Hester's wrists, although they were always covered so nobody would grow suspicious. She immediately packed a few key items for her long journey to the lab, despite her parents' protests.

Hester was very relieved to see the building once she had arrived. Instantly, she walked inside, following all the orders she was given.

Appearance: Less-than-shoulder-length, red-orange hair, Hester's eyes used to glow (not really, though) a bright blue color. However, this was before her depression, which matted her now-greasy hair atop her head and dulled her eyes. Standing at the average height for her age, her disorder grew worse due to her bust, which she was anything but proud of. She usually wears a pair of striped red-and-blue pajama pants, a fully-black hoodie, a dark grey scarf, and bright yellow sneakers.

Post-Transformation:
Mannerisms: After her death by the serum she was injected with, Hester still acts the way she used to, back when she was alive, with her silence and hate for all people. However, she dropped her old ways of self-harm for her newly-achieved fire powers. Nothing much had changed about her personality-wise.

Appearance: The top of her hair now gone, burned to a crisp by the blue-purple flame emanating from her head's soft spot, the teen's eyes regained their glow from years ago- but this time, they actually glow. Her hair looks as if it were wax dripping away from the fire, its greasy-ness not helping anything. Hester shrunk at least a foot due to the injection, and her bust grew, much to her displeasure. Actually, her height alteration made it seem like she literally shrunk, not just grew shorter- her arms, legs, and torso seemed to lessened their size somehow.

~~

Like I mentioned before, if there's anything about this character that should be changed, go right ahead and tell me, okay? :D
