• 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.

Private/Closed Mystery Dungeon Joint Missions! (Full!)

FOR THOSE LOOKING TO JOIN
>>>SET UP INFO<<<

Idea:
Sometimes, exploration teams need help. Sometimes, they just wanna help. Hell, why not share in the wealth? Or maybe... you want it all for yourself? What I'm going for is to have another team to join mine and... if interested, to have a third team be the antagonists. Y'know, you'd get to play out being the asshole, if you'd like. Doesn't being bad sometimes feel... good?

Settings:
Explorers of Sky. I haven't played the newest PMD game, so I don't know anything about it. x'D The storyline will be rather open. Some modern technology (cell phones and such) exist here, for communication convenience.

Basic Plot (will be refined as we plan):
The Hazy Valley Exploration guild is looking for teams to help take on quite a few dangerous jobs they have lined up. The surrounding mountains are a fond destination for many avid out-of-town hikers. Just as you would think, these hikers are often in need of a rescue, as rock slides and bandits are common along the trails. Likewise, the hazy weather can make it easy to get lost in the woods.

Just as well, the Hazy Valley guild is often sent requests for help to rescue those outside the border of their small town. It is the guild's duty to rescue those in need and it simply wouldn't do to assume some other guild would handle the job. However, Hazy Valley seemed to be getting more and more jobs that required teams to travel and each one seemed to be more dangerous than the last. While it would be crazy to think that trouble didn't exist in the world, there never used to be this much...

Intent of the RP
There will be lots of interaction between missions and plenty of action. You can be new, having just joined the guild or you can be seasoned explorers. Hell, wanna be evil, sneaky or just plain mean?

The point is trying to make this RP shape up to feel realistic. You're not always on missions, nor is everyone in town totally stoked about being an explorer. There is variety in this world, after all. You might meet someone who only saves others for money or you might meet someone who turns down the pay simply for the good of the cause. You never know!

Looking For:
At least a minimum of five active characters and no more than eight or nine. Ideally, two good teams and one bad team.

The blur between good and evil is kinda blurry, since selfishness doesn't mean 'evil' and justice doesn't always mean 'good'. I'm thinking maybe five or six protagonists and two to three antagonists.

CONDITIONS/GUIDELINES:
This is VERY important. If you can't agree to this RP within these guidelines, then it won't work. It'll make sense when you read them.
1. First and foremost, no rushing others. We all know that free time can be VERY limited, so I will only expect a single post from you once every 1 or 2 days, because I will only be posting once every 1 or 2 days. As such, this RP will move slowly, depending on how many people join up. However, this DOESN'T mean that those who CAN reply more often SHOULD. Be patient and wait for your turn. Everyone will have 48 hours from the latest reply to post their own. Plenty of time.

2. I'm expecting a paragraph minimum per reply from those who join. Obviously some posts, especially ones that involve a fair amount of dialogue, can be a bit tricky, so the occasional three sentences is fine. You'll have plenty of time to make a reply. Also, minor grammar/spelling errors are fine, as long as it doesn't take away from the post. I'm not expecting Hemingway or Poe, but I would like some effort.

3. Unless you have a good reason, please don't just up and leave. The nature of this RP will make it difficult to simply kill someone off (write them out), so if you leave, you could very well kill the fun for the whole group.

4. There will be plenty of battling, so PLEASE follow proper RP battle protocol. This essentially means that you do not decide if your attacks hit (your opponent will, if controlled by another user). However, the opponent will need to be fair, as well. If being attacked, more often than not, you will be hit. The occasional dodge is fine, but try to throw in some bad luck. (example, dodged a hyper beam, but the explosion blasted a rock at you). Also, if you have read this far, type "flabbadood" in quotes after your name in the form. ♥

5. No legendaries. Pseudo-legendaries (like Arcanine, Eevee+evos, so on) are fine. Humans turned into pokemon are fine. You can be any stage of the evolutionary chain.

Also, no OP characters. You don't know what other person is thinking. You can't control the other person without their explicit permission. You can't blow up an entire city, so on and so forth. Be logical and reasonable.

6. Keep it clean. No gore, no sex, blah blah blah. You can have romance, just don't make it TOO suggestive. Profanity is allowed, but don't abuse it.

7. HAVE FUN. This is gonna be in-depth as hell and depending on how this goes, I might make this into a multi-chapter fanfic when it's finished, as I like to write during lunchtime at work. : P

I know it's a lot to read, everyone. It'll be worth it if we work together. ♥

PLOT
Hazy Valley. This small town rests at 5,600 feet above sea level. It is nestled between two large mountains, almost cut off from civilization, yet boasting quite the active community. The town itself was founded only fifty years ago, as an attempt to secure resources without needing to travel a great distance in order to obtain them.

The mountains provide more than enough shade to keep the town cool and chilly. The climate is quite mild, rarely getting very warm, even in the summer months. The moist air allows for plenty of vegetation to grow. Forests of strong, tall evergreen trees blanket the mountain sides and most of the valley.

The town itself is made up primarily of those that would benefit from such a climate, to include water types, grass types, dark types and ghost types. Electric types find their powers a bit amplified, thanks to the cloudy weather. Rock, ground and fire types don't seem to thrive, but that doesn't stop them from visiting.

Should you come to visit Hazy Valley, you can expect the finest accommodations (that one could find in a mountain town), as well as all the usual necessities. Drowzee runs the general goods store right in the middle of town. Swalot can store your items for you. Grumpig runs the bank. Zangoose and Lickitung run a cafe that caters to all types. Leavanny and Scolipede run a berry farm and should you ever feel in need of an accessory to help you in your dungeon crawling, stop by Glameow's Boutique. The hotel is run by Chandelure and his family. The lake, for those that can handle the weather, is perfect for swimming.

But Hazy Valley wouldn't be anything without its illustrious Explorer's Guild. As it usually is with every town, the guild is the veritable hub of activity, ran by the powerful and strict duo, Lapras and Mienshao. After all, the mountains are a fond destination for many avid out-of-town hikers. Just as you would think, these hikers are often in need of a rescue, as rock slides and bandits are common along the trails. Just as well, the hazy weather can make it easy to get lost in the woods.

Just like any other guild , Hazy Valley's is often sent requests for help to rescue those outside the border of their small town. It is the guild's duty to rescue those in need and it simply wouldn't do to assume some other team would handle the job.

But as time went on, Hazy Valley seemed to be getting more and more jobs that required teams to travel and each one seemed to be more dangerous than the last. While it would be crazy to think that trouble didn't exist in the world, there never used to be this much...

x0Jackie0x
Name: Marceline
Age/Level: 29
Species: Mismagius
Gender: Female
Orientation: Gray-Ace Lesbian
Appearance: Typical Mismagius, although the brim of her 'hat' tends to sag a bit. Her float seems a bit lazy and will often weave and bob around.
Personality (describe in at least three words): Quiet, inquisitive and laid back. Tends to 'go-with-the-flow', joining missions simply for the sake of money. She doesn't care for authority all too much. Her feelings about protecting others lie along the thought process of 'No point in dying needlessly'. She tends to be a little more motivated and cheerful around other females and will sometimes attempt to 'impress' them, for reasons she doesn't fully understand. Just don't try to change her habits without her wanting to. She doesn't like change.
Are they on a team? Nope. Looking to join.
Are they good, evil or just greedy? Not exactly greedy, but she works to live.
Experience: Seasoned. Marcy has been on plenty of missions throughout the years with many different partners.

Shimmering
Name: Aegis
Age/Level: 30
Species: Aegislash
Gender: Male
Orientation: Pansexual
Appearance: Pretty much a usual Aegislash, but the colour purple is replaced with a dark turquoise.
Personality (describe in at least three words): Aegis is kind-of the hard worker, that'll work hard for his money sometimes. Usually he's laid back, letting people do what they want, and not caring about other people's opinions, thinking that everyone is different, and people's special features are what make them special. He won't hesitate to attack anyone if he's in a bad mood, though.
Are they on a team?: No, but he's planning to start one, possibly.
Are they good, evil or just greedy?: Not very greedy, and not evil, but he feels like he lives to work or something.
Experience: A mix of seasoned and new. Aegis has been on a number of missions, but not enough to say he's seasoned.
~~~~MoveSet~~~~
Pursuit
Iron Head
Iron Defense

Make the money, save it up, and then buy a DJing set or something. Wants to save people that are in grave danger, and wants to help everyone.

DragonFlye
Name: Kai
Age/Level: 28
Species: Luxio
Gender: Male
Orientation: Biromantic, Bisexual
Appearance: He looks like a typical Luxio, but wears a black leather collar around his neck with a small Thunder Gem (like the Exclusive Item from Sky) embedded into it.
Personality (describe in at least three words): Clever, manipulative, and charismatic. He formed an "exploration team" mainly for the prestige and resources provided by the guild, so he keeps up a guise of politeness and modesty when in and around the town, especially the guild. In fact, to strangers he'll often perform favors or acts of kindness, but he either does this on a whim, to build trust, or it's part of a hustle. He's willing to lie, cheat, and step on others to get what he wants, though rarely does he make an effort to be cruel for no reason. Even so, an intuitive Pokémon can see through his charismatic personality, in which case he drops the act for his bolder, greedy and impudent side. He has a soft spot for children, though.
Are they on a team? Not yet; anyone willing to form one together?
Are they good, evil or just greedy? One could call him evil.
Experience: Fairly experienced with battle and such, but only recently joined the guild as an Explorer a few months prior.
~~~~MoveSet~~~~
Spark
Bite
Thunderbolt
Double Team
Ability: Intimidate
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals:
He wants money and power, essentially.
Strategy/Style: Not exactly a hard hitter, but definitely quick. He prefers to hit from behind and any other way that'll minimize risk to himself, honor be damned. This makes him a fan of long-ranged attacks.
How do they act off the clock? He generally hangs around town and socializes, trying to give the impression of a kind and trustworthy Explorer.

Aquaman
Name: His name is Daniel.
Age/Level: His age is currently unknown, and his level of reference is roughly 32.
Species: Ditto / Transform Pokémon (He's a shiny in case if anyone missed the appearance.)
Gender: Although he is normally genderless, he is often referred to with male pronouns due to his characteristics and other things.
Orientation: He is a bisexual, though he often refuses to come out of the closet with that and usually masks his crushes for males.
Ability: Limber (Nullifies the effects of Paralysis on the Pokémon that has this ability.)
Moves Known: [This is subject to change depending on the Pokémon he is transformed into. He also has the ability to shuffle his moveset; see below for more information.]
Appearance: Even though Daniel may not have any special clothing or accessories due to his body constantly shifting around, he can often be seen as a small or starter Pokémon when transformed. In his true form however, he does not have anything too special or dramatic; aside from being shiny though.
Personality (describe in at least three words): Daniel tends to have a rather calm outlook, as he is patient and observant when it comes to dealing with encounters. He tends to pretend to be like the Pokémon that he is transformed to based upon how he wants to act as their age, since he likes to make others off guard in order to escape or even gain an advantage in battle when the situation presents itself. Although he can be a bit silly at times, Daniel can still get the job done with some dedication involved.
Are they on a team?: Daniel is currently not on a team yet, since he often likes to operate alone.
Are they good, evil or just greedy?: [This will be kept hidden for RPing and preventative spoiler purposes. To the RP creator, please place him under neutral since I am keeping this portion unknown to others until it is a perfect time to reveal it. Thank you.]
Experience: Daniel is an expert at deception and keeping everything under the radar.
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals:
[This is also left hidden since his motives and attitudes are currently unknown.]
Strategy/Style: Daniel the enemy's trust, then betray it when the time is right. He also prioritizes lone wolves over groups when it comes to taking down enemies in times of stealth.
How do they act off the clock?: Daniel usually does impressions of other Pokémon and practices on his pretense in his free time.

(It's a bit slow since it's only me and another person and the posts are a bit giant. I'm also the creator of that RP hehe.)

Technique Shuffle

Technique Shuffle is a special mechanic that Daniel has obtained as a result of his corrupt DNA. It allows Daniel to shuffle his moveset in the midst of battle, allowing him to utilize various moves instead of being stuck to the Pokémon's four moves it had. However, this is a double-edged sword since the moves could be worst than the former ones he had, and Technique Shuffles cannot be reverted; he is stuck with what he gets!

BraveHeart28
Name: Lacey
Age/Level: 6
Species: Eevee
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight
Appearance: The top of his right ear has a gold piercing and has a silk scarf tied around his neck
Personality (describe in at least three words): Cocky, persistent, and bold. Lacey is pretty confident for an Eevee with no fighting experience. Socializing isn't his strong suite so he often gets into a scuffle here and there. However, he does have a firm belief in freedom and justice. He'll fight for those who are unable to themselves. He'll also never go against his own beliefs, regardless of what his peers or superiors suggest. I guess you can say silence isn't in his vocabulary.
Are they on a team? No but maybe a kind team would be willing to accept him?
Are they good, evil or just greedy? He's good. Somebody has to be, after all.
Experience: Absolutely none except for roughing on the streets since birth
~~~~Moveset~~~~
Tackle
Endure
Covet
Sand-Attack
Ability: Adaptability
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals:
Create happiness for those who deserve it. To be looked at as an example of peace and honor.
Strategy/Style: Lacey will use brute force at any opportunity. He tends to make boneheaded decisions but he is tough so sometimes they pay off.
How do they act off the clock? He often secludes himself from others. However, if he were to become close to anyone he'd might consider hanging out with them. He might also help anyone that's in need, rather it's warranted or not

Glaceon Trainer
Name: Shade
Age/Level: 28
Species: Zorua
Gender: Female
Orientation: straight
Appearance: A normal Zorua with a gash in one ear that always appears even through illusions.
Personality (describe in at least three words): She is a trickster. Shade likes to be rude, and push the limits of the rules. She is the kinda pokemon who would prank for no reason.
Are they on a team? Not yet, but might join one. Not a leader though.
Are they good, evil or just greedy? She would be more inclined to evil than good or greedy.
Experience: Shade has little battle experience, but she is quite smart about things.

Ability:

Attitude/Goals:
She doesn't have any yet, except to get someone good.
Strategy/Style: She uses treachery and illusions instead of a fair fight. She overwhelms opponents, and attacks in the many than the one.
How do they act off the clock? She pranks people, or hangs with friends.

N/A

Hisseki
Name: Mallory "flabbadood" (... nope, still don't know what it means)
Age/Level: 25
Species: Absol
Gender: Female
Orientation: Bisexual
Appearance: Much like a normal Absol, but with a fluffier coat and diamond-shaped head adornment rather than an oval. (Think my sona, Zura, more or less-ish :'|:up:)
Personality (describe in at least three words): To most, she seems quiet and uncaring, but once you get to know her, she's kinda quirky. She cares a little too much about what some others think, but she's still a nice girl. She can be pretty ambitious, and protective when she needs to be, but most others don't see this because of her reputation as an Absol, a "Harbinger of Misfortune"... that, and she's pretty hesitant to talk to others that she hasn't been acquainted with. Also, she's pretty klutzy. That's not because of any other criteria being met or not being met, she's just that way.
Are they on a team? Not just yet
Are they good, evil or just greedy? She likes to think she's good. Money and items definitely are nice, but if there's a job that yields no reward, she'll take it just as quickly as one with rewards.
Experience: She isn't "new" exactly, but she has not done missions because she has no team just yet.
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals:
Well, she hopes that she'll have a like-minded partner/team so they can benefit the society rather than just themselves. She's in it to help, not for fame, recognition, power, or money.
Strategy/Style: Mallory prefers a "stay back" style. She'll try one of two things: make herself intimidating so other things back off, or try to do the backing off herself and use projectile attacks. If she absolutely must, then she will use physical attacks. She is well aware that some Pokemon will get hurt on missions, and while she doesn't like it, she must accept it.
How do they act off the clock? During her free time, Mallory tries to help out in whatever ways she can. If she can't, then cloud watching is always nice, as is stargazing when it is nighttime.

Devowa
Name: Slithen
Age/Level: 26
Species: Serperior
Gender:
Female
Orientation: I have no idea what you mean by this.
Appearance:
Slithen is a shiny Serperior with a sweet and happy voice that does not fit with her appearance being a very obese nearly three times the weight of a normal Serperior.
Personality: Slithen is a very happy person, believing fun and enjoyment are the main reasons to live she can be hard not to enjoy being one of the oddest but nicest Pokemon you will ever find. The only problem is she can get a bit out of hand when it comes to food and can be a bit scary when she just won't stop, she usually feels bad for everyone when she gets like that but that does not stop her.
Are they on a team?
Not yet.
Are they good, evil or just greedy? Good but can get greedy for food but nothing else.
Experience: She is not what you call new but has only done some mission in her normal day to day life and never anything official.
~~~~Moveset~~~~
Frenzy Plant
Leaf Storm
Hidden Power
Leaf Blade
Ability: Overgrow
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals:
Slithen will really make friends with anyone that is not a jerk or overly selfish.
Strategy/Style:
Slithen strategy has two part the first is a intimidate test just in case she can paralyze it with her powers without hurting it, Slithen being so large actually works in her favor because she kind of look like she could and would eat you. The second part is using frenzy planet as a shield for her and her friend why using ranged attack from behind the wall if the opponent gets threw that she will use melee but only then.
How do they act off the clock?
In Slithen free time she mostly sits around, reads and eats will doing both, all in all she is pretty lazy while not on missions.

Notable NPC's
Lapras
Gender: Female
Level: 60
Role: Guild Leader (Founder, Night Shift)
Personality: Confident, brash and caring. Lapras is the considered the 'fun one' by the majority of the guild's members. She will often pal around with guild members and loves holding events in the town, especially if it allows her to get drunk. She loves sharing her mission experiences and old war stories. Just don't get her mad.
The basics: Initially just a tourist, she was the one that actually established the guild after a huge mudslide demolished half the town ten years back. Among her numerous rescues, she organized reconstruction through her own funds and even lent her own muscle to the process. She was asked to stay once the reconstruction was finished and she happily accepted the position of guild leader.
(If you interact with her, keep in mind that she is often happy and joking around. Keep in mind that she has been working with Mienshao for the last ten years, so watch what you say about her.)

Mienshao
Gender: Female
Level: 66
Role: Guild Leader (Day Shift)
Personality: Stoic, quiet and sarcastic. Mienshao is the figurative iron fist that leads the Hazy Valley Explorers Guild alongside Lapras. She exudes a nigh unapproachable aura and only a few of the regulars actually have the nerve to speak to her. She does have an open door policy, but most would rather go through her secretary. She prefers to oversee operations at the guild and fills her schedule with making sure it runs smoothly.
The basics: Mienshao, a resident of Hazy Valley, was present during the mudslide and assisted during the search and rescue process, as well as reconstruction. She was highly impressed by Lapras and offered her services in the guild. After only a year, her dedication to the safety of the town gave Lapras more than enough reason to promote her to Guild Leader.
(If you interact with her, keep in mind that she is protective of Lapras, but understands why everyone likes Lapras over her. It's not uncommon to see Lapras dragging Mienshao around during events.)

Flygon (wip)
Gender: Female
Level: 45
Role: Glorified Secretary/Bodyguard (Night shift)
Personality: Talkative, careful, anxious.

Reuniclus (wip)
Gender: Female
Level: 50
Role: Glorified Secretary/Bodyguard (Day shift)
Personality: Distant, analytical, always seem bored.

Is this okay?
 
Hey~ I'd be interested in playing an antagonist-type Pokémon, but real quick -- do you have a plan so far of the antagonist team's role in the conflict? In the Mystery Dungeon games, for example,

Meanies and Skull (the only two I'm familiar with, lol) were actual Rescue/Exploration Teams that tended to be more of a group of villains/bullies that eventually helped the protagonists out a bit later on (at least, Skull did), rather than the "big bad." Is this what you have in mind, or more of an evil, powerful force?

In other words, do you have any plans so far for the antagonist team and/or main villain? The answer won't affect my interest, just maybe how I write them ^-^
 
*??? comes over after letting off some steam on his Operator*

I suppose I'd like a spot of this RP. I'll be signing up a little later since I have to assist my mom at the hospital soon.

That's mainly up to the group, but I'm open for whatever. The ideas that I did have run through my head was, say, the antagonist accompanies a team and then backstabs them and holds them for ransom, essentially. Another idea was the antagonist sort of MURDERING the guild leaders. : P It's gonna be somewhat of a group discussion when we have everyone, but I want to make sure that everyone gets plenty of enjoyment from this. ♥

That's totally fine, take your time. ♥ We'll be here.
 
Before I start signing up for the RP sooner or maybe later depending on the time I got, I would just like to say that I am using my Ditto character that I often use in mystery dungeon RPs. (Now, he is balanced of course since he can't be transforming into the creator of all things and other stuff right? I also might implement a unique ability for him since I feel like this would be the best way to test to see if it's viable for RPing overall. You'll see once I get his bio up.)

Sounds sweet~ What d'ya think so far? If no one else wants to play an antagonist (Q.Q) I might make him a little stronger if that's okay, to give him a fighting chance.

Name: Kai
Age/Level: 28
Species: Luxio
Gender: Male
Orientation: Biromantic, Bisexual
Appearance: He looks like a typical Luxio, but wears a black leather collar around his neck with a small Thunder Gem (like the Exclusive Item from Sky) embedded into it.
Personality (describe in at least three words): Clever, manipulative, and charismatic. He formed an "exploration team" mainly for the prestige and resources provided by the guild, so he keeps up a guise of politeness and modesty when in and around the town, especially the guild. In fact, to strangers he'll often perform favors or acts of kindness, but he either does this on a whim, to build trust, or it's part of a hustle. He's willing to lie, cheat, and step on others to get what he wants, though rarely does he make an effort to be cruel for no reason. Even so, an intuitive Pokémon can see through his charismatic personality, in which case he drops the act for his bolder, greedy and impudent side. He has a soft spot for children, though.
Are they on a team? Not yet; anyone willing to form one together?
Are they good, evil or just greedy? One could call him evil.
Experience: Fairly experienced with battle and such, but only recently joined the guild as an Explorer a few months prior.
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals:
He wants money and power, essentially.
Strategy/Style: Not exactly a hard hitter, but definitely quick. He prefers to hit from behind and any other way that'll minimize risk to himself, honor be damned. This makes him a fan of long-ranged attacks.
How do they act off the clock? He generally hangs around town and socializes, trying to give the impression of a kind and trustworthy Explorer.

Not exactly recent per se, but I think he's the closest thing to an asshole I've RPed within the last few months.
 
Name: Lacey
Age/Level: 6
Species: Eevee
Gender: Male
Orientation: Straight
Appearance: The top of his right ear has a gold piercing and has a silk scarf tied around his neck

Personality (describe in at least three words): Cocky, persistent, and bold. Lacey is pretty confident for an Eevee with no fighting experience. Socializing isn't his strong suite so he often gets into a scuffle here and there. However, he does have a firm belief in freedom and justice. He'll fight for those who are unable to themselves. He'll also never go against his own beliefs, regardless of what his peers or superiors suggest. I guess you can say silence isn't in his vocabulary.
Are they on a team? No but maybe a kind team would be willing to accept him?
Are they good, evil or just greedy? He's good. Somebody has to be, after all.
Experience: Absolutely none except for roughing on the streets since birth
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals: Create happiness for those who deserve it. To be looked at as an example of peace and honor.
Strategy/Style: Lacey will use brute force at any opportunity. He tends to make boneheaded decisions but he is tough so sometimes they pay off.
How do they act off the clock? He often secludes himself from others. However, if he were to become close to anyone he'd might consider hanging out with them. He might also help anyone that's in need, rather it's warranted or not

(Optional) Do you have a link to an RP that you were part of? I would if any I were apart of lasted more than 2 pages
 
About like 50% done with my bio since I was a bit knocked out thanks to my illness and the heat...

I won't exactly be revealing if they're good or not since that's going to spoil his character a lot if I did...
 
Name: Munch
Age/Level: lv 15
Species: munchlax
Gender: male
Orientation: staright
Appearance: a regualer munchlax with shades
Personality (describe in at least three words):happy, goofy, brave
Are they on a team? no
Are they good, evil or just greedy? Good
Experience: Working in shops
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals: have the best shop ever
Strategy/Style: zen headbutt then metronome
How do they act off the clock? keeping up with shop and selling stuff for prices hire then they should be

Name: Shade
Age/Level: 28
Species: Zorua
Gender: Female
Orientation: straight
Appearance: A normal Zorua with a gash in one ear that always appears even through illusions.
Personality (describe in at least three words): She is a trickster. Shade likes to be rude, and push the limits of the rules. She is the kinda pokemon who would prank for no reason.
Are they on a team? Not yet, but might join one. Not a leader though.
Are they good, evil or just greedy? She would be more inclined to evil than good or greedy.
Experience: Shade has little battle experience, but she is quite smart about things.
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals: She doesn't have any yet, except to get someone good.
Strategy/Style: She uses treachery and illusions instead of a fair fight. She overwelms opponents, and attacks in the many than the one.
How do they act off the clock? She pranks people, or hangs with friends.

Do you want it? I have quite a few I could put in if needed.

I'm afraid I had to delete the actual RP thread as it does not comply with our RP rules - namely it contains absolutely no in-character content. All the background/setting nonsense go here, in the discussion thread. When you're ready to properly start the RP with a proper first post, that's when you post the actual RP thread.
 
@DragonFlye @Shimmering @Aquaman @BraveHeart28 @Manbat99 @Glaceon trainer

Alright, the plan is to get this thing going on Sunday. I plan on making the intro post at noon. What would everyone like the post order to be? I usually make it the order of when everyone joined, but it's up to you guys.

Also, Aquaman, I know you got a few things going on, so no rush. You're still considered in this RP. ♥

Quick go-over one more time. Everyone will have 48 hours to make their reply. There will be a reminder at 24 and 36 hours, but if 48 hours has been reached with no reply, your turn will be skipped.

Scheduling issues and such will be handled in the PM, while plot, reminders and general thread/post questions will be handled in the OOC thread.

Remember, this RP won't be very linear. I will provide a few specific dungeons to start off with, but everyone is free to make up their own. It's open world, will only some plot (which will be revealed more and more as time goes on).

Are there ANY questions at all?
 
I've got one real quick! Considering there's to be quite a few battles, should we have a specific moveset/ability in mind for our characters, and if so, should those be added to the bio? Also, if this is the case, would TM moves acceptable (as long as they're legally learnable by the species)?

I've got one real quick!

Good question, actually. It would probably be best to have a set movelist, so that we don't come up with a move that is super effective against, well, everything we end up fighting. Also, yes, TM's are just fine.

In that case, I'll need everyone to come up with their moveset and post it in here. For non-TM moves, keep them level accurate. Once they are posted, I'll add them to your character section.
 
*Aquaman looks at the RP creator in shock*

W- wait... you're doing this by turn order? *woosh*

B- but what if someone purposefully stays offline to stall us or if time goes over us? *drip drip*

(I kinda hate turn-based orders kinda since often times some people like to purposely stall the RP by waiting their turn to skip. Even though it's more organized, I just feel like there's going to be that one person that's probably going to ruin it...)
 
*Aquaman looks at the RP creator in shock*

Oh nuuu... Honestly, I get what you're saying, which is why I limited the post time to only two days. But I chose turn order because not everyone has the same kind of time to devote to this RP. Some people might be able to consistently post throughout the day, while others might only have the time to post once a day. This method makes sure that the time and day of the RP is kept consistent and to make sure others don't take it too fast (like one team having already completed a dungeon while another has yet to even leave the town).

As for people purposefully stalling, they'll be dealt with. Unfortunately, you can't really anticipate that, so we'll deal with it as it happens.
 
*Aquaman gives a little sigh while his Operator secretly inserts the emotional management program chip into him*

Well alright... I suppose I see your point in having that then. You're the boss so I'd have to assume that's the way the RP is going. I'll try to have my bio in as soon as possible and certainly before the RP starts.

As for turn order, I'm not sure how we should decide that.
 
*Braveheart is feeling impersonationable or whatever the word is*
I'm fine with whatever order. I'm pretty lenient with this stuff. As for stalling, I think a good idea for if you want to be skipped is to message the group.
Also I'd get wrecked with my moveset and level :D
 
It's not really a matter of 'I'm the boss, so that's the way it is', it's just... See, like, I know where you're coming from. Everyone's experiences are different, after all. The reason why I structured the RP like this is because I've joined too many RP's only to be left behind and eventually kicked out for being too slow. Then I joined an RP on Valucre (different RP site) that was set-up to be turn-based, with three days of reply time. No was was too rushed to post and there was never a question as to what was going on or when.

I don't want this to be seen as 'do it because I said so', but rather making sure that everyone has the same chance to post as everyone else does. I know it's a little weird, but at the very least, everyone gets to play. You know?

Well, the level is more for just reference than power. Besides, since we're gonna be following proper RP battling standards, everyone is gonna have their fair chance to cause some damage, regardless of level.

Also, for post order, I usually just do it in order of signing up. It'd be me (since I'm setting up the world : P ), Shimmering, Dragon, Aqua, Brave, Manbat, and Glaceon.
 
Are the turns for all times? Because if chatting with someone through RP, while they are online, and waiting for other people to post first is gonna be problematic for me.

That is what we're going for, yes. Like I was explaining to Aqua, the intent is to make sure that one part of the story doesn't progress much further than the other. It was mentioned from the start that this RP was going to move more slowly than normal. But, to be honest, with the size of the replies we'll posting, I wouldn't expect too many quick replies. Small little chat replies of only dialogue should be avoided, since we're trying to fill our replies with details, as well.

It seems like it's slow, I know, but after a day or two, things will start to speed up.
 
I personally like turn-based RPs, 'cause (in my experience), they've been least likely to die after two pages or end up with half a page of content while I'm asleep ^^; Just, thought I'd throw my couple cents in there. The order looks good for me, too. Yeah.

Anyway, here's Kai's moveset for the beginning of the RP. Lemme know if there's anything I can tweak! I'll add it to his form in my earlier post, too.
Ability (If needed):
Intimidate
Moves:
Spark
Bite
Thunderbolt
Double Team
 
Anyway, here's Kai's moveset
Thanks, hun. I'll get that posted on your section.

Small conversation is the base of many RPs.
Small conversation is the base of small RP's. This RP that I'm setting up is bordering on epic, which involves lots of detail in every post. Epic RP's never have dialogue-only posts. There will be replies ranging from one paragraph to four, possibly five.
 
Personally, if the RP moves once a day, it'd still be moving faster than pretty much every RP I've been in. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here are Lacey's moveset

Lacey's moveset:
Ability: Adaptability

Moves: Tackle, Endure, Covet, Sand-Attack
 
Usually I just use a pokemon's movepool up to their level, but if you insist...
Ability: Stance Change
Moves: Pursuit, Iron Head, Iron Defense, Rest
Also, will there be stores in the town? ( e.g. A place where you could get icecream, called Miltank's Ice Cream, or something)
 
Also, will there be stores in the town? ( e.g. A place where you could get icecream, called Miltank's Ice Cream, or something)

We'll see how it goes. Tbh, I've tried it out both ways and had different results with different people. We'll see how this group handles a specified moveset. Changes to moves won't be that hard to implement.

As for stores, yes, there will be. I have a few already in the town's in depth description that are the typical PMD staples, but if someone wants to come up with their own store, that's totally okay.
 
*sighs in relief and puts quite a bit of information*

Alright! I'm finally finished with my character's bio! (Included a custom mechanic for my character to use in battle since I feel like this would make more things interesting and Ditto don't just always transform into the Pokémon they're looking at haha.)

Name: His name is Daniel.
Age/Level: His age is currently unknown, and his level of reference is roughly 32.
Species: Ditto / Transform Pokémon (He's a shiny in case if anyone missed the appearance.)
Gender: Although he is normally genderless, he is often referred to with male pronouns due to his characteristics and other things.
Orientation: He is a bisexual, though he often refuses to come out of the closet with that and usually masks his crushes for males.
Ability: Limber (Nullifies the effects of Paralysis on the Pokémon that has this ability.)
Moves Known: [This is subject to change depending on the Pokémon he is transformed into. He also has the ability to shuffle his moveset; see below for more information.]
Appearance: Even though Daniel may not have any special clothing or accessories due to his body constantly shifting around, he can often be seen as a small or starter Pokémon when transformed. In his true form however, he does not have anything too special or dramatic; aside from being shiny though.
Personality (describe in at least three words): Daniel tends to have a rather calm outlook, as he is patient and observant when it comes to dealing with encounters. He tends to pretend to be like the Pokémon that he is transformed to based upon how he wants to act as their age, since he likes to make others off guard in order to escape or even gain an advantage in battle when the situation presents itself. Although he can be a bit silly at times, Daniel can still get the job done with some dedication involved.
Are they on a team?: Daniel is currently not on a team yet, since he often likes to operate alone.
Are they good, evil or just greedy?: [This will be kept hidden for RPing and preventative spoiler purposes. To the RP creator, please place him under neutral since I am keeping this portion unknown to others until it is a perfect time to reveal it. Thank you.]
Experience: Daniel is an expert at deception and keeping everything under the radar.
~~~Team Behavior~~~
Attitude/Goals:
[This is also left hidden since his motives and attitudes are currently unknown.]
Strategy/Style: Daniel the enemy's trust, then betray it when the time is right. He also prioritizes lone wolves over groups when it comes to taking down enemies in times of stealth.
How do they act off the clock?: Daniel usually does impressions of other Pokémon and practices on his pretense in his free time.

(It's a bit slow since it's only me and another person and the posts are a bit giant. I'm also the creator of that RP hehe.)

Technique Shuffle

Technique Shuffle is a special mechanic that Daniel has obtained as a result of his corrupt DNA. It allows Daniel to shuffle his moveset in the midst of battle, allowing him to utilize various moves instead of being stuck to the Pokémon's four moves it had. However, this is a double-edged sword since the moves could be worst than the former ones he had, and Technique Shuffles cannot be reverted; he is stuck with what he gets!
