RP now open here!
Summary: The party is summoned to an ancient time, and sets out on a quest to defeat a mysterious war-starting cult through the power of Pokemon battles.
Here are some basic rules for the rp:
1) Try to be good at replying! There will be a conversation for announcements related to this rp as well as for you guys to ask questions, so if someone needs to go afk for a while just let me know.
2) Follow the forum rules, as per usual.
3) Integrate into the world as much as possible. The next post will have lore stuff so check it out when making characters!
4) If you'd like to join after the story picks up just ask down below! I'd be happy to write in new characters as we go along. If you're joining please go back and read the most recent "summary" post in the rp (it'll say SUMMARY at the top in bold letters) to help get caught up with what's happening. That way you don't have to read through everything!
And one last thing, if you're worried about grammar for any reason (English isn't your first language, you feel like you're bad at it) I'd be happy to help with editing posts. Just let me know!
Lore:
The Parcae region is unique in the sense that its gym leaders are not determined through league rules, but instead from their ancestral lineage. The region is shaped similarly to a lopsided hourglass: the north consists of a hot desert, the middle-top is a range of mountains that touch the sky, the narrow part of the hourglass is a peaceful forested plain with the occasional swamp, and the chilly south a frozen tundra with mountains and frosted lakes.
Historically, Parcae has had four "kingdoms," and each kingdom has passed down two gym leaders along with an elite 4 leader.
Roles: Any empty roles that are unfilled by the time the story gets there will be played by me. One person can have two roles, one that is a main party role and one that is a leader/ancestor role (except the people I've already talked to about this!).

Lore:
The Parcae region is unique in the sense that its gym leaders are not determined through league rules, but instead from their ancestral lineage. The region is shaped similarly to a lopsided hourglass: the north consists of a hot desert, the middle-top is a range of mountains that touch the sky, the narrow part of the hourglass is a peaceful forested plain with the occasional swamp, and the chilly south a frozen tundra with mountains and frosted lakes.
Historically, Parcae has had four "kingdoms," and each kingdom has passed down two gym leaders along with an elite 4 leader.
- The Northern Kingdom was led by the Fire King/Queen. Their modern day representatives are a fire type elite 4 member, as well as ground type and rock type gym leaders. They were a proud and honorable society, and worshiped "The Colossal One" as a deity of strength. Most days they would focus on training and were seen as the warriors of the past. Knights using steel and fighting types were not uncommon as they were seen as the defenders of the kingdom.
- The Southern Kingdom was led by the Prophet of Water. Their modern day representatives are a water type elite 4 member, as well as ice type and dragon type gym leaders. Generally distant from the other "kingdoms," they were a more pious and secluded folk. However, due to their position as the most waterlocked nation, they found themselves the leaders of sea travel. They worshiped "The Abyssal One," a huge serpentine creature that was said to have electric powers and would drag boats to their doom. Due to their religious nature, ghost-type trainers were often quite common.
- The Zenith Kingdom was led by "The Traveler," a mysterious adventurer who was rarely ever seen in their own kingdom. Their modern day representatives are an electric type elite 4 member, as well as flying and psychic type gym leaders. Since they lived in the tallest mountains, these people were often adventurous and full of life. The most technologically advanced of the kingdoms, it was said they harnessed the wind and the magic of psychic types to create contraptions that could carry them through the air. They worshiped "The Wise One," a child-like spirit whose eyes were said to erase memories.
- The Middle Kingdom was led by the Lavender King/Queen. Their modern day representatives are a grass type elite 4 member, as well as poison and fairy type gym leaders. The most mysterious of the kingdoms, as much of their land was eventually taken over and leveled off as a result of city expansion. A peaceful folk, but often described as being mischievous. Worshiped "The Lucid One," a creature that was said to purify the lakes and streams that gave the forest life. In old texts they were seen as the peacekeepers of the continent.

Pokemon (1-3) with short summary:
Background: Due to his frail build he was often disregarded in youth as being weak and unfit to become a knight in service of his kingdom. He chose to follow his own path and started research on various topics in the region, traveling far and wide and making contact with important people in the other kingdoms. This task is seen as pointless to his peers who are becoming knights, and he's highly sensitive to any sort of criticism. Nevertheless, the thought of abandoning his work has never crossed his mind. He harbors a grudging fondness for Nowell of the Southern Kingdom.
If this was an rpg, which role would your character fill?: As Houndoom is his main Pokemon, he seems to fit the rogue type. When he uses Vulpix he's more of a support role.
