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.
I’ll probably get a post out in the next couple of days, just need a nice long car ride where the family won’t interrupt me with another bonding activity lol
I'll see what I can do if no one interacts with them before the weekend. I will need to edit my next post to keep the story enticing.
I'm attempting to learn from my previous RP mistakes by fleshing out character goals before introducing them. That's how I failed "Wild Mark," my previous non-Pokémon RPG.
It started with an interesting plot, but I quickly ran out of ideas. The plot twists and multiple character interactions were a lot to handle at once. That's why I wanted my "characters" (mostly NPCs) to be vehicles for everyone else's journeys this go around.

We've started already, but we can catch you up easily enough. Just make sure you fill out a character sheet and wait for my approval before you start playing.

I don’t mind! I’d also like to ask where the jury is on Rotom (base form) being in the region? I would assume the forms aren’t available, since those are based on modern-day appliances, but I’m not sure about Rotom base form because it seems to be naturally occurring

Tell me what: If you invent ancient alternate Rotom forms, you can use them. I'd appreciate it if you could post them first so I can make sure they're not OP.
@Captain Cardboard Feel free to join, I'm not placing a limit at the moment because there haven't been many RP posts yet. I assume everyone's busy this week and they'll come back when they're not busy. We only just started after all.
Okay, here is my first character. May put in another one. May not. Who knows. I don't.
Name: Wuijah Age: 24 Pronouns: She/Her Tribe: Specter Tribe Class: Lower Occupation: Wandering Witch Physical Appearance: Wuijah is pretty short and thin. She has long, messy black hair and green eyes. Her skin is pale, contrasted even more by the dark clothes she wears. Wuijah wears a dark black robe, with a dark green cloak/cape as well. She has a satchel, as well as many pouches and pockets on her belt. Often times, her black hair can cover part of or most of her face. Keeps a black steel ritual dagger on her belt.
Hair: Long black hair, very messy. Eyes: Purple eyes. Personality: In Arkhaios, many people have fears and assumptions about the Specter tribe. Wuijah does not exactly help that. She is a very strange sort, coming off as strange, obsessive, and creepy. Wuijah is obsessed with dark magic, spirits, and fortune telling, all matters of the occult. She seems to enjoy unnerving people. Skills: Witchcraft, Herbology, palm reading, fortune telling, poison Past: Wuijah grew up in the Specter tribe. While she was a member of the lower class, she was still very interested in everything to do with the occult. She would stalk and spy on the rituals the village elders performed, trying her best to learn everything and anything she could about the ways of the spirits. Eventually, the elders figured this out and took greater measures to prevent Wuijah from spying on them. So she left, wandering the lands in the search of knowledge of spirits. Being on her own for so long has driven her a little crazy... Family/Relationships: While Wuijah doesn't really have any friends, she is close to a merchant from the Meadow Tribe named Breson. She sells and trades herbs and potions she's made.
Species: Haunter Nickname: Hanged Man Gender: Male Ability: Levitate Nature: Naughty

Class: Lower, just a wandering coordinating performer
Occupation: Coordinating Performer
Physical Appearance: She is a light-skinned young lady with a well fit feminine build. She stands at 5'2 "in height with average weight. She has light Pastel blue long wavy hue hair with half her hair up with a white ribbon, securely holding it. She has ice blue colored eyes with her long wavy bang covering both eyes and her glasses(Mysteriously had changed to white with parts of blue hue left at the ends of her hair while her vision deteriorated dramatically). A white bandage covers her eyes currently. Even though her bangs cover them, it is a bit shown on the sides. She wears a royal purple casual dress with gold outlining, white tights to cover her legs, Dark purple flats, a shiny, glossy purple orb necklace around her neck with a gold ring and trim around it, and a dark purple bow with white and gold trimming at the side of her hair on the right side.
Height (optional): 5'2
Weight (optional): 90lbs
Hair (optional): White with light blue Pastel hue at the ends of her hair(Originally was Light pastel blue which had mysteriously turned white with the original color of her hair remaining at the tips of her hair while her vision was deteriorating)
Eyes (optional): Clouded ice blue eyes(temporarily blind)
Clothing (optional): Royal, Casual
Identifying Marks (optional):
Personality: Respectful, Attentive, Capable, Cultured, and Calm. She will genuinely ask others if she has permission to touch with her hand. She communicates with touch to know what is in front of her for both people and pokemon. It's difficult to sneak up on her due to her highly sensitive hearing as she can detect someone approaching her from behind at a far distance before she responds.
Skills:
Psychic Sense:
Able to sense how far her Pokémon are and how they are feeling. This ability developed stronger to where now she could sense where people are and how they are feeling.
Psychic Touch:
Able to use her touch to know who is in front of her to describe them. This also works with Pokemon she reaches out to touch. This is another way she communicates.
Making Herbal remedies:
Despite having all the assistance between her Pokémon, she does sometimes hurt herself. She learned on her own to make herbal remedies to treat any wounds/ injuries she may encounter. She uses her highly strong sense of smell and touch to gather the proper materials to make these remedies for herself. However, her pokemon are always watching her to make sure she doesn't choose the wrong herbs.
Very Knowledgeable:
Despite being blind, she is very knowledgeable, ask her anything, and she will know whether it's about Pokemon or people. She learned this through books that are specifically for the blind.
Past: Aria isn't your typical healthy young lady as she wasn't born temporarily blind. She was born through lineage as the first born but with weak lungs. She was always on oxygen throughout her childhood as even exposure outside affected her breathing. Her father had restrained her from going outside due to this. Her mother passed away from an illness before she turned 4 years old. She only had her father for life support at the time. At age 8, she was off oxygen support to breathe on her own but wore a mask over her mouth. She had a lot of teaching to learn how to speak and write before she reached the age of 10. When she reached the age of 15, her vision started to mysteriously deteriorate. The cause of this condition is unknown to researchers. She really struggled to travel around due to her temporary blindness with no leads on how she got this or even a cure. Her father saw how much she was struggling and how he didn't want to leave her alone while he was away at work. She had moved with her father, leaving their royalty life behind to start new and fresh. Once she had settled, her father introduced her to Lufian, the male Indeedee he had ever since she was born. She bonded with him quickly once he sensed her temporary condition. A Girafarig was introduced to her by her father as an eye seeing Pokemon to guide her around in the big area she lived in, which she had named Rina. It took her time to get used to Rina being her eyes to the world, but eventually, she placed her trusted on her to guide her until her vision came back to her. This continued until her adulthood until she was completely comfortable with it. She started to have an attachment to Psychic Pokemon like Lufian and Rina,but she didn't have the eyes to study them but only felt them with her. Over time, she started to develop an ability to sense strong power from others as if...her senses grew stronger due to her loss of sight. She believed maybe it was a gift for the loss of sight since she developed another ability to sense where her Pokemon are and how they are feeling.

Aria sounds like an interesting character! I haven't banned shinies in this roleplay, but I appreciate that you limited how many Aria has on her team. On average, I'd say one or two is acceptable. Still, I have a hard time believing anyone would have a full team of shiny Pokémon unless they were playing a spoiled rich brat or a formerly wealthy character spent their entire life's savings on them.
Yes, I never actually use a full team of shinies as they are considered rare for a reason, the latest I have used was one or two but not a full team but, usually I limit to just one. Thanks! ^^
