(NOTE BEFORE I START ANYTHING. THIS RP WILL BE LIMITED TO 5 PEOPLE INCLUDING MYSELF. IF YOU WRITE A BELOW PAR CHARACTER SHEET, YOU WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED UNLESS YOU CAN PROVE IF YOU CAN WRITE. [such as me sending you a mock post and you replying with the best of your ability] TEMPLATE WILL BE POSTED BELOW THIS)
"Captain! The ship is going to capsize! We must evacuate the passengers!" said the First Mate of the Businia (Pronounced Bus-in-eye-ah)
"We cannot evacuate in this kind of weather! The life boats will go down in an instant! We have to hope we can make it through." The Captain said. The Captain's history was deep in sea life, being born of a fisherman and growing up as a sailor. The grim look on his face, the sweat running down his brow, though it could have been sea water getting in from the broken windows, the heavy breathing, and overall the trembling of the hands when he steered, this seemed like it was going to be the end for him and his crew.
Some of the crew members already seemed to be praying to whatever they worshiped, being Arceus the Author of creation, Xereas giver of life, or even some of the smallest of religions, such as the Church of the Helix. A Siren on the ship went off meaning that part of the hull has been breached and the ship has begun sinking.
"We could still save the passengers! We can get the Water Pokemon to carry them ashore!" Said one optimistic crew member.
"The waters are too rough. They would have to go under water to save them. The likelihood of the trainers not drowning is next to none." Said the Captain. His face was now even grimmer than before. He knew for sure what was going to happen; they were going to sink, and all the passengers are going to die with him. He released his hands from the steering mechanism and opened up a small booklet containing a picture of what seemed to be his wife.
The ocean roared in anticipation of its prey. It was eating the ship, inch by inch. The Captain's quarters was beginning to fill with water now, as the crew began to say its farewell to the world. There was one last act of the Captain, though. He released all of his Pokemon, sending them into the Ocean in hopes that they could live on where he could not. Trainers filled the waters as their water Pokemon tried desperately to save them, but to no avail. All they could do is hope that the Ocean spares them.
Trainers heads went under left and right, some not returning up. It was a massacre of both Trainers and Pokemon. Items from the ship littered the ocean, filling it with an assortment of all kinds of items. Some trainers tried to hold onto these, but they would soon be devoured by a wave and disappear. Suddenly, a strike of lightning hit the ocean, knocking all the humans unconscious, and most Pokemon too. The only Pokemon to not be affected by this were the ones under water, where the current could not affect them.
Sometime later...
A group of trainers began to wake up on an island. They seemed to be the only ones to survive the grand wreckage. The beach was littered with trash, though some of it could be useful because these trainers will be here for a while. Extreme weather surrounded the island, but the island itself was not affected by any of it. Rather the island was quite peaceful. It was an untouched, uncharted sanctuary of Pokemon. A dormant volcano lies in the middle of the island, around it a mixture of jungle, forest, lakes, plains and of course the edges, beach. The Volcano housed a secret, however. This secret could change the lives of these trainers forever, and just save their lives and return to civilization
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, after reading that long introduction to this RP and the high standards that have been set, you still wanna join? Well of course you do! After an introduction like that it just asks for you to join (hopefully...)
So I don't expect anything near this level of RPing, just the starter has to be good, right?
WHAT I EXPECT OUT OF REPLIES: I expect five complete sentences at a minimum and with understandable grammar. I can tolerate a missed comma, but this is what can happen
"I want to eat Grandpa" This is implying that you want to eat said, Grandpa
"I want to eat, Grandpa" This is telling the Grandpa you want to eat.
So commas can be kinda important at times so try to put them in places where you think they will fit. No worries, though, I won't get nit picky with these.
However, I will get nit picky with the wrong tense, that being a rule of Pokecharms. Basically, if you write I, replace it with your characters name. Being the third person does not mean you can't mention your characters thoughts. This is called third person omnipotent/limited. This means only you have access to your characters thoughts and you can freely share them if you choose to. It isn't required.
Lastly, spelling. If it has a little red line under it and you are using google chrome, here is a tip.
PC USERS: Right Click the word, it will most likely give you the correct spelling
MOBILE USERS: Double tap the word and it will come up with the correction if Auto Correct hasn't already done so.
GROUND RULES: Technology would be, for the most part, destroyed or lost. We don't have any lights. Watches and other basic things are allowed, though. Pokeballs do work so that you can have them.
Pokemon cannot be Fakemon. If it ain't real, it ain't here
Pokesona's however, are allowed but at a limit. Try to have something within reason. No rainbow dark types, please
I will allow special Pokemon abilities, but I have the right to refuse them. Nothing too OP
If the Pokemon does not have that ability naturally, please explain why.
No more than one character and team.
No mushy stuff. Hugs are ok, but no kisses, we got kids on here.
Lastly, if you do not reply on the RP within 72 Hours, you will be kicked. That being said, you cannot just have a posting spree with someone else just because you are the only two online.
So with the basic rules out of the way, let's show the Character template, shall we?
