@E.K.A.N.S. Curse words aside ( I would request you cut back some in the RP if accepted, IRL I swear like a sailor, but i don’t know the demographic of age on the site and who's comfortable with what so with respect to them, try to keep language to PG13, maybe a bit beyond depending on the situation) very nice bio, really enjoyed reading it. Based on the Bio portion, Sebastiano doesn't really seem to be the Spire Master type, perhaps a Tier 3 Battlemaster that that’s one, two, or three Spire Master Victories away from gaining the title? Based on how the fanfic ended, Celeste would have already been a Spire Master while Sebastiano would still be climbing through the ranks of the Spire, also the Spire Masters would not personally write an invitation out, ultimately it’s not their decision to make, but a committee that the Spire Masters have inputs on but they do not have the final say, formal invitations only, just the way they do things.

My biggest issue I have is the Blaziken. As funny as the Blaziken is, and points for creativity, but there would not be a single Pokémon that can beat any Spire Masters’s Pokémon for as wild as you described, hell it won’t be able to beat most Battlermaster’s Pokémon. Even described as “Abnormally Strong “raw power that has no skill, refinement, or finesse behind it is pointless, and based on how crazy and messed up it ism there is no way it can even be trained. The wild and enraged state of the Blaziken would also be a red flag to the Spire or for anyone who cares about Pokémon who sees him really, Sebastiano would be criticized and discredited as a trainer and possibly criminalized for keeping such a Pokémon in such a state, since it can be seen as abuse or inhumane treatment, such a Pokémon would be institutionalized so it can get the help it needs.

Gonna let how Celeste behaved in the fic go as it’s just a fic and she was younger then and is a much different person now, but really loved the read, great stuff, but I’m going to have to say no to the character in the current state for a Spire Master, with a few edits he can easily be a high tiered Battlemaster. As much as I love, trolling, and humorous things, this RP is more on the serious side.

(Those titles though, some of them better be self proclaimed <.>)

Let me know if you want more clarifications on other points, also I'm open to feedback, thoughts, and other inputs about this character from others as well please
 
I’ll get to all the other points in a sec (or not, life’s busy), but what is it about him that makes him more of a Tier 3 Battlemaster? Is it the number of regions he’s traveled/badges he’s earned? Because I had those all at the maximum until I cut it down to get approved for a Mega.

Also, Sycorax could’ve already been on his last leg before Craziken dumped on his face.

I've yet to play Undertale and I really need to. I even own it, just need to chew through my backlog of games.

I was skeptical at first, the entire game was spoiled for me by the time I bought it, but it was still beyond amazing. There are so many fun things outside of the story. I highly recommend it, it's incredible.
 
Okay, I made that last post rapid-fire from my phone after getting out the shower, but now that I'm in front of my computer again I can respond to everything else.
Based on how the fanfic ended, Celeste would have already been a Spire Master while Sebastiano would still be climbing through the ranks of the Spire
The fanfic included only one clearly defined timeskip, and that was at the start of Episode 8, when he went from 10 to 17. The timeskips to Episode 9 and finally to Episode 10 aren't specified, so there are 10 years to fill between age 17 and 27. I'm not sure at what age Celeste became a Spire Master, but Sebastiano could've read that letter when he was 20, or even 24, or even younger, leaving him a good amount of time to ascend the ranks. Perhaps Celeste wasn't even a Spire Master at the time and the letter was instead sent by those who came before her, meaning in the worst case, I'd just scrap Episode 10 entirely and make it non-canon, or change my character's age.

Sounds good.

The Blaziken actually has exceptionally good battle instincts, which is the route I was going but I neglected to clarify that, as I'd already used the phrase "battle instincts" when describing the Aegislash and I don't like using repetitive words in my writing.

Yeah, Craziken actually isn't the equivalent of a wild Pokémon, and I was well aware that he couldn't be because the position for which I was applying was Spire Master. He's more like an incomprehensible, incommunicable creature whom the world and all his trainer's challengers can't decipher, but is surprisingly sharp in unexpected areas, like Wiress from Catching Fire if you've read the second book in the Hunger Games series.

Re: this.

In my bio, the lack of context to exactly how that battle unfolded is important. The Gliscor could've been already battered up or was about to be defeated, and the crap on its face just added insult to injury.
The wild and enraged state of the Blaziken would also be a red flag to the Spire or for anyone who cares about Pokémon who sees him really, Sebastiano would be criticized and discredited as a trainer and possibly criminalized for keeping such a Pokémon in such a state, since it can be seen as abuse or inhumane treatment, such a Pokémon would be institutionalized so it can get the help it needs.
Huh. You actually nailed a story arc I had planned. One of my future characters, far down the road when I have time, is an undercover journalist for a newspaper bought and owned by the Battle Fleet, a rival facility to the Battle Spire that seeks its demise. She's invited to the Spire for her skills as a trainer, but she's really there to cause a scandal and get dirt on the Spire that'll lead to its closure.

This controversial point about Sebastiano is actually the perfect weapon she can blow out of proportion and embroil the Spire in legal troubles, so there's an overarching story in addition to the customary battles you've got going on.
I’m going to have to say no to the character in the current state for a Spire Master, with a few edits he can easily be a high tiered Battlemaster. As much as I love, trolling, and humorous things, this RP is more on the serious side.
Humor in a serious story is called comedic relief.

Let me know what you all think.

It has nothing to do with ho many regions and badges they've collected

The two had grown up together, and though the boy wished to be a pop star and the Pokémon aimed to become a world-class battler, their bond withstood the conflicting dreams that pulled them in opposite directions.

is the one main point is that sticks out to me about him not being exactly Spire Master material is that competitive or high level battling was not something he wanted to aspire to, Gabriel wanted to but not Sebastiano. The Spire Masters go far above and beyond to make sure they and their teams are successful in battles. In many cases (at least with Celeste and Ceres) perfecting the art of Pokemon battling was something they've devoted their entire lives to.

For instance, it's like taking an Olympic gymnast that has trained their entire lives to compete in the Olympics, and putting them against someone who has gymnastics training because their mom told them they had to do an extra activity.

Based on the way I understand it Sebastiano is more interested in starting his music career rather than competing against the upper echelons of Pokemon trainers in the world.

I really do want this character to work, it's a very fun antithesis to Celeste that I could really get behind and actually see having some very funny situations and banter with. But there are aspects that seem to not quite fit. Feel free to PM me to discuss things so we're not super cluttering things here.

Not super concerned about this, Celeste probably became Spire Master around the age of 20 or so, give or take 1 year

EDIT: Yea I totally get it :D I'm sure no one here actually get super mad, if they do like: come on, just talk it out :)
 
Let's see if we can make it work then.

Haha, I actually addressed this exact point with StellarWind Elsydeon:
What got him this far is not an additional god button, but an exceptional talent for battling. Pokémon training is an area in which he's incredibly gifted but uninterested; the only reason he works as hard as he does is for his partner, whose dream is to become a world-renowned battling Pokémon. They help each other progress toward their goals.
Battling is something he's devoted his entire life to, and though it's not his personal dream, the fact that he works as hard as anyone else in pursuit of it is a measure of extreme loyalty and dedication to his best friend. He's also managed to work his singing into his battle style, so the two complement each other.​
So what I meant by this is that Sebastiano would not even be invited to the island because of this. There is too much risk to others to have a Pokemon like that running around.
Won't be running around as he's in his Pokéball. I don't see a problem with it as I read some of @ThanosCar_The_Inevitable 's posts that mentioned Max's Gyarados being involved in several lawsuits and nothing was said.

Lol all right fair enough, but it still sounds kind of oxymoronic, how can you devote your life to something that you're uninterested in? Like sure he can be talented and works hard at it, but if he's fundamentally uninterested would that still allow him to compete with others who are just as talented, but ARE interested, and do devote their lives to it? I'm not sure if I'm making my point clear >_<.Not trying to be picky here, the more complexities you have in your bio for the Spire Master the more i'll be digging into it, especially his lore involves another character.

So the thing about the Gyarados is that it has a bad temper, as expected from Gyarados. But mentally it's fine, it's not a crazy pokemon that can't be reasoned it with. Also Max is a Participant, his Gyarados can be quite easily stopped by others either groups of other participants, or Battlemasters
Craziken is a twitching, feral, rabid, volatile
lest he go on a rampage. He could easily snap the restraints with his bare hands, but his passing whims don't dictate it.
With Craziken it literally reads like it's crazy, Pokemon are known to be able to come out of their pokeballs when they want to, so whats stopping him from doing so when it get "triggered" by something, and if it can just stay in it's ball what's the use of the collar and leash? (and since it can just break the leash on a whim, what really is the point?" And Craziken would be a Spire Master level Pokemon, if it rampages out, the destruction would be catastrophic, would his own Pokemon even be able to stop it? Spire Master's Pokemon are known to be able to sweep entire teams of Batlemasters as reference. The Spire would have asked him to leave or replace the Pokemon before he would be allowed back even if he climbed through the ranks to become Spire Master.

Doesn't really make a difference in how skilled they are, a person who doesn't enjoy something but is just as hard-working and talented as one who does.

My question is how the Spire Masters would know about Craziken's tendencies. @ThanosCar_The_Inevitable clearly mentioned lawsuits in his posts, so Gyarados's problems are on record, yet no action was taken. Whatever Blaziken's personality, I didn't mention any incidents in my bio, so the Spire Masters have nothing within the context of the RP to go off of.

^Ignore all that, I'm just messing with you. Honestly I was aware in advance that I wouldn't be able to RP Craziken as described in the bio, or the RP would get too crazy/godmoddy/destructive to other characters, so the Blaziken was actually going to be pretty boring in comparison, seldom coming out of his Pokéball. The way I want to RP him now though is like Scrat from the Ice Age—still feral and twitchy, but in a curious, squirrel-like way, nothing destructive.
and if it can just stay in it's ball what's the use of the collar and leash? (and since it can just break the leash on a whim, what really is the point?"
I can easily play it off as a distinguishing feature or take it off entirely.

The thing is, is that it does make a difference. If you aren't interested about what you are devoting your life and time to, then you wont have the drive for continuing to put in the effort and self improvement required for the highest possible level of success. It's just how the human mind works because eventually the human mind will eventually start believing that they are wasting their time and effort into something that has little to no return, and if the individual continues that's one way how people get depression, become nihilistic, and overall dissatisfied with their lives, is perusing something they have no interest in. It's a classic issues we all face as humans and why getting meaningful careers is so important. So I'm not exactly surprised that we're having this discussion. Would be interested to hear others opinions on this.

Going back to the main point, this is why I don't believe Seb is quite cut out to be a Spire Master and would be better as a highly ranked Battlemaster, because to the Spire Masters, it's a career to them, it can open doors for them for their futures in the fields of Pokemon study, analysis, future regional Champions, etc. For Seb it's not really something that will let him become a better singer or start a music career off of. He gains nothing from becoming a Spire Master other than the recognition of that he is one of the best trainers in the world, and since he's not interested in that, the recognition would mean next to nothing to him, but only one of his Pokemon (Gabe) would be truely very happy about it.

Also by high ranking Battlemaster, he could literally be stuck on only one Spire Master left, that being Celeste, as someone he's just been trying to beat but can't, since you want this character to be so directly tied to her, just throwing that out there.
 
That second-to-last sentence is problematic, specifically the part that says only Gabe would be truly happy about it and that this would mean nothing to Seb. I've made it a point that this serves as his motivation, and he loves working as hard as he does because that's how strong their bond is.
Would be interested to hear others opinions on this.
Yeah, I think that's for the best. I don't see you budging on this particular thing, and that long and philosophical explanation makes some... pretty serious assumptions about my character's future that have neither been written in nor are decided by anyone other than the person RPing them.

The disagreement here is essentially whether he's allowed to start out as a Spire Master in the RP, which you're saying no to. But you're also saying yes to him beginning as a Tier 3 Battlemaster with only a few victories away, which means you're agreeing to him eventually becoming one. At the same time it sounds like you're saying you don't want him being a Spire Master at all ("I don't believe Seb is quite cut out to be a Spire Master"), but if you're open to him eventually being one, then... that's sort of a contradiction. Him being on the cusp of it doesn't make much of a difference. So I'm a bit confused.
Also by high ranking Battlemaster, he could literally be stuck on only one Spire Master left, that being Celeste, as someone he's just been trying to beat but can't, since you want this character to be so directly tied to her, just throwing that out there.
I hope to take as minimal a role in this as possible given my busy schedule. Though the main reason I want him to be a Spire Master and therefore Celeste's equal is so that he's a bigger inevitable pain in her ass; a while back you said drama within the Spire Masters would be interesting.

I could just make it so that he's learned to love battling by working singing into his style, so that there's a perfect marriage between the two that satisfies both trainer and Pokémon. Since that's what you want it to be, fighting alongside each other with both their hearts in it, like Celeste and her team. In other words it's not that hard to rewrite him as having found his passion for battling, though Celeste doesn't realize he has and still dislikes him (in addition to a hundred other things). I mentioned this point in passing but I stuck to my other one (extreme devotion to his friend being his driving force) and didn't stress this option enough.

EDIT: On second thought I'm scrapping him entirely. I can't make him work within @Foxex 's personality constraints of humbleness and modesty inside and outside of battle with the crazy things I had planned, so maybe I'll go back to the drawing board or join a different RP. You guys have fun, though.

@Frontier Master Yes if it comes down to it But, that's just throwing ideas out there as hypothetical , since responses sometimes on the discussion page is at times sporadic and i got no clue what time zones people are in and their schedules

Yea, sorry about the confusion, I was referring to him not having what it takes, and him being on the cusp gives him room to grow and learn as a person and progressing to become a Spire Master. It was supposed to be thought of as a singular thought, but splitting it in two posts, i can see its not clear :D. It's not that I don't want him to but rather give him some more room to grow in the RP

Finally this... You know I could just make it so that he's learned to love battling by working singing into his style, so that there's a perfect marriage between the two that satisfies both trainer and Pokémon?

So to this point you keep saying Seb being a pain in Celeste's ass, can I get a hypothetical scenario on how that might work? Because aside from just being straight up sexual harassment or some form of bullying (which both are illegal, and if he's a Spire Master or Battlemaster, he is employed by the Spire just as Celeste is) I cant really picture it.

That being said, and to expand on @Frontier Master 's post not all Spire Masters are equal in power and difficulty, there are clear members that are easier than others (difficulty changes depending on the challengers preferred way of battling), Celeste and Ajax are commonly regarded as the most difficult regardless of battle type, they are also the most veteran members in the Spire Masters, Ajax managing to be the first to join after Celeste had elevated, and in a way "reformed" the status of Spire Masters. I think I've talked about this earlier in the discussion, but if I need to make a list with better explanations, I will, just to keep track. A fresh Spire Master is essentially a better T3 Battlemaster until they get a footing of battling in the Spire Master environment, since they play a "different game" so to speak. If a recently promoted Spire Master fails to catch up and adapt, they will lose their rank.

Which reminds me Caziken's whole defecating on another's face in his bio. Thinking back on it. such behavior would not be allowed or tolerated at the Spire. That would be the equivalent of boxing (or name w/e 1v1 sport) once the opponent was knoked down they pooped on their face, I don't think that will fly with any kind of sport of official competition.

Being a member of the Spire Masters or Battlemasters, one must understand, emanate, and demonstrate humility, humbleness, and modesty in and out of battle.

@E.K.A.N.S. well good luck on your future endeavors. lets face it, we'll prob. see eachother in other RPs :D

I'm planning on making another battle focused Pokemon RP later down more centered around the idea of an underground battle circuit where it more about dirty battling and using underhanded tactics to win battles, I'll tag ya if your interested.

The Battle Spire is more of a high end battle establishment where you have regional champions, gym leaders, and other important VIPs that attend, watch, and sometimes compete, so there are more rules and more regulations and such in place because of it.

It'll be like the opposite of the Spire in a way <.>

What in the absolute fuck did I just miss. Aside from, apparently, some very literal shit-posting.

Some posts were removed, particularly due to the person responsible not being accepted into the RP and continuing to post stupid things in the discussion thread. Some people seriously need to actually think before they run their keyboard.
 
@StellarWind Elsydeon Thanks and sorry, i wasn't really sure how to deal with those kinds of content posts so i responded the best i could, I've checked the rules and didn't really find anything on that in particular but i might have missed it, but thanks for clearing things up.

I'm down for this, hope I'm not too late.
Position: Participant
Name: Ben (Unknown)
Age: 19
Gender:
Male
Height:5'10
Hair Color:Black and messy, rarely attended too
Build: Above average, comes with traveling in the wild, he's also pretty skinny however.
Eye color: Very dark Brown, basically black
Skin color: Semi dark
Birthplace:Viridian Forest
First Pokémon : Riolu at three years old
Occupation: Pokemon ranger
Likes: Warm weather/ Swimming/ Pokemon battles/ helping people
Dislikes:Cold weather/ Evil actions/
Fears: Pretty basic, fears danger befalling himself and the people he cares about
Clothing/ Accessories: Ben is a licensed pokemon ranger, as such he wears a blue shirt under his read hoodie, as well and red goggles, a yellow scarf, and all-terrain ranger shoes, which are pretty worn out. He also carries a styler, specially modifies by Prof.Hastings, and also has a rotom inside. Otherwise, he wears jeans.
Badges: all 8 from kanto and sinnoh, hoenn 3, from sinnoh 5, from kalos 6, in galar 4,
Achievements: Was offered a place as a gym leader, which he rejected (is this too much?)
Registered in the Kanto hall of fame
Beat Red
Personality: Kind and caring to a fault, Ben will try to help every and anyone. He's capable in battle, and is surprisingly intelligent, at least pokemon-wise. He has some decent coordination when focused, and has dabbled in martial arts by training with Bea, a galar gym leader. He's pretty optimistic and like to crack jokes often. Despite his intelligence, he can be very dense and can't really take a hint unless said aloud. He's clumsy whenever unfocused, which is often. He can be very sarcastic and snarky when in a bad mood, usually because of cold or if he just doesn't like the person.

Battle Style: Ben is the definition of adaptable, he usually uses the first few moves in a battle to get a feel for the opponent's battle style, the adapts his to counter the other. If the opponent plays right though, he won't be able to, after which he will simply use the old strategy "Beat'em till they fall". This sync well with his lucario, whose multitude of movesets allow for a flexible pokemon.

Background: Ben always wanted to be a trainer, but he never really tried to study to be one. It was after he got his riolu at 6 years old when he started to genuinely want to accomplish his dream, so he studied hard, and after years of studying, he got his trainer license. Previously he wanted to be the champion, but after the discovery of other regions, he decide he just wanted to experience adventure, and that's what brought him to the battle tower, to train his skill and discover things.

Pokemon: Lucario
Gender: Male
Personality: (Hardy)Lucario is very stoic, almost emotionless. His quiet, calm and collected exterior hides a burning passion for battle.
Held item:
Ability: Justified

Pokemon: Golurk
Gender:Less
Personality: (Docile) The best description for golurk would be a "gentle giant". Very powerful, but normally likes to be around others, although his size can be intimidating.
Held item: Shell bell ( Hung around it's neck(?))
Ability: Iron fist

Pokemon: Flygon
Gender: Male
Personality: (Jolly) A very friendly pokemon, Flygon has a habit of biting on Ben's head as a sign on affection.
Held item: Smooth rock (Attached to collar)
Ability: Levitate

Pokemon: Ampharos
Gender:Male
Personality: (Mild) Ampharos is a surprising powerhouse despite it's demeanor. Somewhat shy, ampharos can change the color of his light to display his emotions, though he mostly keeps it red, which requires the least energy. (It does give people the impression it's always angry however)
Held item: Rocky helmet
Ability: Static

Pokemon: Porygon-Z
Gender: Less
Personality: (Quirky) Porygon-Z acts fairly oddly, normally being happy-go-lucky and chipper, but after his evolution into his current form, he occasionally goes into a blank state, showing no emotion, other than the occasional twitches he performs. He's still obeys ben however, and the state goes away eventually.
Held item: Lax incense
Ability: Analytic

Pokemon: Weavile
Gender: Female
Personality: (Naughty) Weavile is a pretty tricksy pokemon, only she does truly care for Ben, even if she doesn't act like it.
Held item: Razor claw
Ability: Pickpocket

Pokemon: Dragonite
Gender: Male
Personality: (Jolly) Ever since joining his team, Ben's dragonite was always upbeat, it rarely gets serious, but when it does, hoooooo boi
Held item: Wide lens ( Over his eyes. Allows dragonite to aim better and fly faster, now that the wind won't bother his eyes)
Ability:Inner focus

Pokemon: Greninja
Gender: Male
Personality: (Serious) Calm and collected, greninja prefers to keep the opponent as a distance, but is fairly good a close quarters combat as well.
Held item: Expert belt ( Tied around arm)
Ability: Protean

Pokemon: Sceptile
Gender: Male
Personality:(Rash) A very confident, very smug pokemon, with a secret nice streak.
Held item: Big root ( Hidden between his back seeds)
Ability: Unburden

Pokemon: Cinderace
Gender: Female
Personality: (Adamant) Cinderace is a crowd pleaser, always being flashy and dramatic in battle ( It even faked and injury in battle, which somehow benefited ben)
Held item: Hard rock ( Stuffed inside its bottom half fluff, does not affect cinderace directly, but she does need a stone to use pyro ball)
Ability: Blaze

Pokemon: Lycanroc (Dusk forme)
Gender: Male
Personality: (Docile)As most dog pokemon are, lycanroc is protective of Ben, playful, and has a great sense of smell
Held item: Hard rock ( Buried in Lycaroc's mane)
Ability: Tough Claws

Pokemon: Cramorant
Gender: Male
Personality: (Quirky) Cramorant is amazingly powerful ever since he was caught. A very capable battler, Cramorant nearly decimated his local arrokuda population while he was wild. There's one thing holding him back. His intelligence: one of the dumbest members of Ben's party, he doesn't really know what's going on, ever.
Held item: Damp stone (A replacement for arrokuda after using surf and dive)
Ability: Gulp Missile

Notes: The rotom ben carries inside his styler is an extra pokemon, but unable to battle. The rotom is legally retired from battle, meaning that while it can battle for self defense or even a friendly match, it cannot participate in official pokemon battles, such as gyms or league battles. It behaves similar to a rotom phone, working as a pokedex.( This sounds legit right)

Rotom:
Gender: less
Personality: (Quirky)

Quoted from the official Pokecharms Pokemon Roleplay Rules:

"Any Mega Pokémon needs to be authorized by one of the RP moderators prior to making references to such, including in provisional character bios - PM us with your request, citing the character (complete with up-to-date character bio), the Pokémon, and sufficient proof of the bond between the Trainer and Pokémon, as well as the way they attained a Mega Stone and Key Stone. These must be plausible enough to be considered.

In case this was not clear - the very ownership of Mega Stones and Key Stones in general
requires request of permission
and the manner in which these were obtained must be cleared in advance. Do not presume that you can simply write your character as having all the means required for Mega Evolution so long as you don't use the power in the RP itself."

These aren't my words, this is just what the rules say.
 
You'll need at least 6 Pokemon on your team. Also:

Height:5'12

5'12" is 6 feet XD since there is 12 inches in a foot.

But 17, and has beaten all Champions, possibly even younger than that? That seems a bit young. None of the Champions in the game are younger than 25, let alone 20. How does he compare to the other Champion winners, who have spent the better part of their lives, hell even a couple of decades, learning strategies and training their Pokemon to be the best? How does he beat the Champions, who have 5 years of experience or more than your character?

This isn't like the games, where Champions are easy pickings if you got the right team, hell even the right level or moves. In the anime, they are shown to be the cream of the crop and have even shown to decimate trainers before them with ease, as well as make some decisions befitting of a president or mayor of the region.

Does your character, at such a young age, able to hold on to that responsibility for a while before leaving to challenge other Champions?

Running some errands right not so I’ll review it in a bit, but at a quick glance he needs a full team of six, there’s no way he could achieve champion or any similar task with a single Pokémon.

Personality: Sasha is arrogant and very prideful mainly in battles. He cares a bit too much for his pokemon, but cheers them on never the less. He is a bit of a lone wolf, but will befriend those who have similar ideals and goals of to become champion along with training and befriending pokemon along side with them. On the side he is fun loving and reckless, since he thinks he knows more than others. Depending on his mood he will donate to others small portions of his gains as well as giving others advice.
Skills:
  • Great with stealth and camouflage
  • Knows the trick to catch pokemon easier
Past: As a young kid Sasha grew up with his father constantly being called to battle as he was the champion of that time. His mother would sit and watch him as he played with the family Herdier named Kole and Pignite named Flarig. When his father was home, Sasha would go hunting for apricorns and berries while camouflaging to avoid the gang of Karrablast that attacked those that disturbed their food supply. He had one older brother that did take his life when in high school from peer pressure, which drives Sasha away from having friends. His fiery passion came one day from a feisty Riolu he found while hunting that wouldn't give up to protect Sasha from being attacked by the Karrablasts. Went through Unova and became champion like his father before him, lost 3 weeks later to another trainer. Started a dojo in Nimbasa City and when buisness was booming and people could take over, he decided to travel and train more.

@StellarWind Elsydeon wondering if I could possibly have a mega stone for my Lucario. I have been putting off asking for it because it didn't feel nessesary. But know that I think about it more, it makes sence why I should have it.
My Lucario has been with this character for all of his years, and was the first pokemon he had, plus since, this character went to Kalos, it would explain why he would have the key stone and Lucarianite.

I'm down for this, hope I'm not too late.
Position: Participant
Name: Ben (Unknown)
Age: 19, 3 months to 20
Gender:
Male
Height:5'11
Hair Color:Black
Build: Above average, comes with traveling in the wild, he's also pretty skinny however.
Eye color: Very dark Brown, basically black
Skin color: Semi dark
Birthplace:Viridian Forest
First Pokémon : Riolu at three years old
Occupation: Pokemon ranger
Likes: Warm weather/ Swimming/ Pokemon battles/ helping people
Dislikes:Cold weather/ Evil actions/
Fears: Pretty basic, fears danger befalling himself and the people he cares about
Clothing/ Accessories: Ben is a licensed pokemon ranger, as such he wears a blue shirt under his read hoodie, as well and red goggles, a yellow scarf, and all-terrain ranger shoes, which are pretty worn out. He also carries a styler, specially modifies by Prof.Hastings, and also has a rotom inside. Otherwise, he wears jeans.
Badges: all 8 from every region from kanto to galar
Achievements: (Required): Was the champion for kanto for a bit, before giving up his title, and has participated in every pokemon league and battled all champions.Supposedly he could become the champion of other regions, as he did in kanto, but after finding out about other regions such as johto, he gave up his title and continued his travels, after which he will always go as far as he can to beat the champions, but , even of he wins, he refuses to be the champion, and move on the the next region.

Personality (Required): Kind and caring to a fault, Ben will try to help every and anyone. He's capable in battle, and is surprisingly intelligent, at least pokemon-wise. He has some decent coordination when focused, and has dabbled in martial arts by training with Bea, a galar gym leader. He's pretty optimistic and like to crack jokes often. Despite his intelligence, he can be very dense and can't really take a hint. He's clumsy whenever unfocused, which is often. He can be very sarcastic and snarky when in a bad mood, usually because of cold or if he just doesn't like the person.

Battle Style: Ben is the definition of adaptable, he usually uses the first few moves in a battle to get a feel for the opponent's battle style, the adapts his to counter the other. If the opponent plays right though, he won't be able to, after which he will simply use the old strategy "Beat'em till they fall".

Background: Ben always wanted to be a trainer, but he never really tried to study to be one. It was after he got his riolu at 6 years old when he started to genuinely want to accomplish his dream, so he studied hard, and after years of studying, he got his trainer license. Previously he wanted to be the champion, but after the discovery of other regions, he decide he just wanted to experience adventure, and that's what brought him to the battle tower, to train his skill and discover things.

Most likely not my place to say this, so don't take this absolutely seriously, but, EVERY badge from Kanto to Galar? This is definetly possible for a very experienced , at least 30-ish, trainer, but, at 19? I dunno. My character is 19 as well, and he is already questionably powerful for his age, with all badges in Galar, Alola island challenge completed, and getting all badges, as well as beating the champion, in Kalos. I personally think it is pretty questionable to have a 19 year old have beaten all the gym leaders in every. Single. Region. Not my place to say this, as I am not the owner of the rp, but I am just expressing my opinion, but, whatever floats your boat I guess, but I think at least a few people most likely agree with me on this. Cool character though.

Honestly, thanks for the constructive criticism. I swear I don't want to make my char toooo broken, but well....yeah, I'm not accomplishing that well. I'm trying to fix what I can, so I honestly appreciate it.

No problem, I usually try to express my opinion without being rude, (Which can be kinda hard sometimes, to be totally honest, xD) So, thanks for not taking it hardly. I honestly think this is a really cool character, I just think his power can be dialed down.
 
@Gamingfan all looks pretty good so far, accepted as Participant only thing I would recommend is maybe just having been registered in the hall of fame in home region as an accomplishment. completing all the region badges at the age of 19 is a bit difficult, remember that just flying to every region and city is not as easy nor is it free as it is in the games, it takes time and money. you could argue that you can fly on the back of Pokemon, but the world is huge and not every region is right next to each other so just keep that in mind. I'm not super bothered by that as a fact as gyms a typically easier but Ceres, one of the 6 Spire masters has completed badges in 5 regions at the age of 20. But she's kind of of of them special prodigy types that also had help from one of the other characters.

@BegalBitez based on him being 18 and having beaten the champion of Unova twice and the Kalos and becoming a successful business owner, then traveling to most of Alola and parts of Hoenn, at 18... going to have to say no, this this character, feel free to edit and let me know, also read around the discussion, there are plenty of sources of advice and info on how to gauge your character appropriately
