Welcome to the region of Risin! I hope you enjoy the time that you spend here!
This is where you will post your character, and wait for it to be approved by a WPL. Once you are approved, you can technically start in any thread, unless otherwise noted in said thread. It would be recommended that all new characters go find a professor at a lab, to receive a Pokedex, Pokeballs, and information.
Please provide the following information about your character:
Name: First and last name unless your back story explains why you do not have one or the other.
Age: In order to legally train and own Pokemon you must be at least 10 years of age.
Gender:
Height/Weight:
Place of Origin: This is where your character grew up. It can be anywhere in the Pokemon World.
Family: Briefly describe the people related to your character.
General Appearance: What your character looks like. This is the Pokemon World, so crazy hair colors (Blue, Pink, Green, Bright Red, Purple, etc.) are normal.
Backstory: Not required, but it adds depth to your character.
Goal: This is what your character sees as their main objective. For example, it could be to win the Pokemon Trainer League Championships, catch a specific rare Pokemon, be a good Pokemon doctor, destroy all civilization, etc...
Class: What are you wanting to do? Trainer, Coordinator, Gangster, Ranger, Breeder, Scientist, Police Officer, Pokeball Crafter, etc. This is just a list to get you started, and you're not bound by this decision. Trainers can do contests, Breeders can take the Gym Challenge . . . Police Officers can even be "dirty cops", living a second life as a Gangster (as examples)
Starting Pokemon:
The following Pokemon are not available as starters:
-- Legendaries
-- Evolved forms (not counting Baby forms)
-- Baby Pokemon
-- Fossil Pokemon
-- Shiny Pokemon
-- Any creatures from Black/White and beyond
In addition, these "Rare" ones are also currently not allowed for starters:
Snorlax, Sudowoodo, Jynx, Mr Mime, Miltank, Chansey, Clefairy, Kangaskhan, Jigglypuff, Lapras, Lickitung, Misdreavus, Electabuzz, Magmar, Porygon, Tauros, Dratini, Heracross, Larvitar, Tyrogue, Eevee, Wobbuffet, Bagon, Beldum, Castform, Absol, Tropius, Chimecho, Feebas, Spiritomb, Gible, Lucario, Carnivine, Rotom, Phione
Note: This list is not concrete. If you want to start with one of the above pokemon, you need to convince the WPL(s) about how/why you should have the pokemon as a starter. This is where the backstory can come into effect, but ultimately it is up to the WPL(s) to decide what to allow and what to not. . . . but it never hurt to ask.
If you choose to do so, you may have a professor give you a starter Pokemon instead. This option is available for players that want some element of randomness to their character's story progression. If you receive your Pokemon from a professor, you will get to choose one Pokemon from a set of three, as determined by the WPL(s).
After registering, your character will receive 5000 P (Pokedollars) in your inventory. If there is anything specific you would like to add to your inventory that is essential to your character, please make sure it is cleared with a WPL.

Place of Origin: Born in Hoenn, moved to Lavaridge town with his older sister for a time.
Family: Mr. Issac Moore - Grandfather - Once a gym leader and elite four member in Hoenn. (Note: Some of the names in these relationships are additions by myself, connecting to canon characters can be tricky. Here, gave the character a first name.)
Flannery Moore - Older Sister - Flannery is seven years older than Jerrin, and was currently the Gym Leader in Lavaridge town in Hoenn when Jerrin left. (Its possible Moore is not her last name in the canon.)
Just after Jerrin turned five, his parents left to become better pokemon trainers themselves. He doesn't know where they went, but he suspects it was Sinnoh.
General Appearance: Jerrin has red hair to match his sisters, that he keeps fairly short. He's rather attractive, like his sister before him, but unlike her, he tries to dress the part with meticulously chosen clothes. He has pale skin and dark eyes.
Backstory: Jerrin lived alone with his older sister for most of his life. Because of their parents leaving when Jerrin was so young, Flannery became a little over protective of him and wouldn't let him leave to go on his own journey. He eventually ran off and made it to the region of Risin, but still wishes to mimic his sister and become a Gym Leader one day (Though not for reasons of mimicry).
Goal: To place well at the Risin Pokemon League Tournament and become a Gym Leader. Secondarily, to catch a strong team of pokemon.
Class: Trainer, but somewhat of a Collector as well.

General Appearance: Somewhat Pudgy, if you will but not overly pudged. He doesn't Like to put up a show or like to create a lot of attention. For this fact he wears a Wide Brimmed hat with Hikers Boots, Blue Jeans and a Canvas Longsleeve shirt (rolls up the sleeves when hot). He carries a backpack with all his Wanderers Eccentials (Sleeping bag, Map of the Region, Food, Flashlight)
Backstory: As a young Child He Dreamed and Aspired about completing his family Legacy! To catch the Scyther! But as he grew older he realized that wasn't all important to him and he wanted to do much more. This was around the age of 13 he realized this but as he went to talk to his parents about this newfound goal in life, his dreams were all so soon Smashed by his parents refusal to Listen to this "Blasphemous Jibber Jabber". He accepted it for the time, So at the time that ever Male of the Putter Family did at the age of 16, he set out to find his Scyther. Or so his parents thought, instead he caught the first boat out of there. He slowly docked and a thought dawned upon him. He had no pokemon. And the worse Part of it, He had no Idea where to start.
Goal: To explore the world inhope of discovering himself (I know, how much more generic can you get? )
Class: Wandering Trainer
Starter Pokemon: (Do I have a Treeko from the boat ride or is that pre-game null and void? I don't mind, either way.)
Family:
Father - Roy, currently deceased, due to the volcano's eruption
Mother - Lisa. Has short blond hair. Moved to Seafoam Islands due to volcano's eruption. Scared of fire because of the eruption.
General Appearance: Ruffled purple hair. Continuously wears a red and purple long-sleeved jacket.
Pokemon Knowledge: Heavy on the Kanto region, fades as it moves further out.
Backstory: After his home was destroyed by the eruption of the volcano, Ryan left his home to begin a new life, vowing to control the forces that wiped out his home.
Goal: Start my own Magma group and bring it to power.
Family: He has none that he knows of. Or doesn't know where they are.
General Appearance: He's a rather average built guy with light tan skin and deep blue eyes. His hair, slightly past his ears, is just as blue as his eyes. He is never without his companion Psyduck or a pair of sunglasses. He wears a white T-shirt with white baggy sweat pants, and a pair of white and blue sneakers. He lurks in the shadows rarely wanting to be seen but will take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself.
Backstory: Since as far back as he can remember, he's been without a family and has never known why, but often wonders what became of his parents. His earliest childhood memories were stealing food for a group of pokemon bandits. He never knew of his real name either but the bandit's (who's favorite game to pass time between heading to new towns and stealing food and pokemon was to play darts) made him fetch the darts for him, and they often called him just simply Dart.
Around the age of 14 he was growing restless with the bandit's who would treat him quite badly and often beat him and starve him. One night he ran away from the bandit's. Knowing that he could do better on his own, then he ever could with the bandit's.
One day, some few months after escaping from the bandits, Dart was walking along a river heading up to the nearest town when the bank gave away, and he fell in the river. The river was very swift and he could barely keep his head above the water. After being swept down river several meters, he enters shallow water only a foot or so deep. As the water barely trickled passed him, the last thing he could remember was hearing a pattering of something coming towards him in the river. And he passes out, just before the figure reaches him.
He awoke some time later laying along the edge of the river bank. With a Psyduck sitting next too him. And starting from that day on, Psyduck has been Dart's greatest companion.
Goal: To hopefully find out what happened to his parents, and to become a powerful trainer.
While he was younger: Mother: Debra Santin- Pokemon Coordinator
Father: Jim Santin- Currently pursuing the Elite Four spot.
General Appearance: He’s a tall black male with silver hair, crimson eyes. His wardrobe consists of a white zip-up vest with a black tee-shirt (or sweater depending on weather), black pants, and black sneakers (or boots depending on weather). Usually seen with a green Poke Backpack. Unless indoors, he's never seen without his Black Boonie Fisherman's Hat!
Backstory: Ever since the Sinnoh league was formed, Ixider has always wanted to travel and train Pokemon. The problem, school and prior training. His mother was away a lot and his father wasn’t any better. During HS, they enrolled him into the Pokemon Academy. He graduated top honors, but didn’t have a clue on what was next. That’s when he met him. Icy Beak, a Piplup that was injured and mistreated by his previous trainer. After a major incident, the trainer released the Piplup and he then adopted the Piplup and vowed to collect decent breeds of Pokemon and look to follow in his parents footsteps of success.
Knowing this now, he begins his journey with Icy Beak (His Piplup) to the Risin League. He knows what to do and how to do it. But at the same time, he continues to help and find different and rare breeds of pokemon.
Goal: To win every possible league and to collect many different breeds of Pokemon for study.
Class: Pokemon Trainer
Current Pokemon:
Piplup (AKA Icy Beak) Nature: Calm
Moves: Tackle, Pound, and Growl
Backstory on Icy Beak
From the time of birth, his previous trainers (to include his breeder) have always known Icy Beak had great power, but too composed to do anything. His recent trainer made some headway, but at the same time, Icy Beak was miserable because of the degree of vigorous training involved. After finally passing out being forced to perfect Ice Beam, hs latest trainer released him and walked away disgusted.
That's when Ixider stepped in and took Icy Beak to the nearest pokemon center (Eternal City). He stood by Icy Beak and because Ixider noticed it from the radar/scanner, he knew he had greap potential. He was being overworked to reach it. After a full recovery, Ixider looked at Icy Beak and that's when he gave him the name. He jumped up and sat on Ixider's shoulder and nodded. A new friendship and team was formed.
Ever since then, only Debra has seen the two in the family.
Family: Rostam comes from a very loving family that consists of a mother, father, and younger sister. They are fairly wealthy and money was never an issue. They want him to grow up and be rich and successful as well. The problem is, Rostam doesn't care about money like they do. His parents are very overprotective and Rostam has lived a sheltered life. He is close with his sister, but their interests are nothing alike.
General Appearance: Rostam is tall with an athletic build. He has tan skin and brown eyes. His hair is dark brown and of medium length. It is generally pushed or combed to the side. It doesn't look extremely neat but it is not messy. Rostam usually wears a button down collared shirt that is usually rolled at the sleeves to the elbows unless it is too hot. He has a white blank shirt underneath that. He usually wears jeans and a nice pair of sneakers. Despite his stature, Rostam looks as if he is 16 or 17. He often gets called 'baby face' and he hates this. In a futile attempt to combat this, he keeps some facial hair. Its usually short but sometimes he shaves clean.
Backstory: Right now, Rostam is a student at a university. He is studying medicine and wants to become a Pokemon doctor. His parents want him to be a people doctor, a lawyer or something of the sort. He doesn't want to be a Pokemon doctor for the money. He is doing it because he wants to help pokemon. He is also adamantly against Pokemon abuse and trainers who force their Pokemon to fight against their wills. He is currently very unsure about a lot of things. He is considering not accepting his parents money any longer. He wants to see if he can make it in the world on his own. He doesn't know how to feel about this. He wants to take a break from school to figure out what he wants to do with his life. In this time, he is going to travel around looking for freelance work in anything he can do. Also, he wants to apply what he has learned so far by helping heal Pokemon after fights. He will also be keeping an eye out for any trainers that abuse their Pokemon. He wants to stop trainers that force Pokemon to fight that do not want to fight.
Goal: Rostam's goal is to prove to his parents that he can make it without them. He doesn't want to be rich. He only wants to make enough to be happy. His main goal is to help Pokemon in any way possible such as helping to stop Pokemon abuse on a global scale.
Family: Renton is an only child, born to two Team Rocket members. Their current location is unknown, and Renton doesn't really care to search for them.
General Appearance: Short brown hair, blue eyes, athletic build. Renton's skin is reddened and sandblasted from his time in the desert, making him look a bit older than he is. Underneath the dirt and sunburns he's fairly attractive. Wears a simple light t-shirt and cargo shorts, regardless of the weather. Often has a pair of Go-Goggles around his neck, if only because he thinks they look cool.
Backstory: In the wake of Team Rocket's disbandment, Renton's parents disappeared. With nowhere else to go, Renton wandered the desert of Route 111 until he met his Sandshrew and decided to go see the world.
Goal: To explore exciting places and to show the world what he can do.
Class: Trainer/Adventurer
Starting Pokemon: Sandshrew
(I'm aware that Team Rocket doesn't have a large presence in Hoenn, I'd like to make an exception here)
(And is it cool if I start with Go-Goggles in my inventory? Being from the Hoenn desert and all that...)

And now you know how I got my username.
Ok, I'm going to gives this a go, I've never participated in anything like this, but I'm getting a jones for DnD
Name: Mason Smith Age: 22 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 5 ft 11 in: 150 lbs Place of Origin: Saffron City: Kanto Family: Mother: Ann, waitress at the Celedon Cassino. Disowned me after I joined Team Rocket.
Father: Never met
General Appearance: Wear white pants, with a black T-Shirt with a red letter R, over that I have a Whtie button up shirt left open, over that a black hoody. Carry a satchel. Dark piercing eyes, dark hair which is cut to an almost buzz cut.
Backstory: Father left when I was too young to remember him... something about wanting to be a great trainer. Yeah whatever, I just think he didn't want the responsibility of me. Anyways I was left with my mother. We lived in Saffron city near Silph Co, but my mother worked in the Casino in Celedon. Because of the long commute I had a lot of time on my own. Too much time if you ask me. I ended up getting involve in this gang called Team Rocket when I was about nine years old. Even got my first pokemon through them when I turned ten. It was a Growlithe with the meanest temper you will ever see.
Then in 99, I was twelve then, this guy Red comes in and invades the organization. Trying to take us Rockets down. You probably saw the movie they made about it. I even fought against him too. Did just about as well as anyone else did, which is to say not good. After Giovanni lost to Red, I managed to get out of the tower before the cops showed up. Ran away from home to go to the gym in Viridian.
A few months later, Red comes walking through the door and demanded a fight for the badge. I still remember when he fought Giovanni. It was an amazing fight. Even better then the fight you could have seen on Pay-per-view. Y'know the one when where Red fought Lance for the title.
Giovanni officially disbanded Team Rocket after that and I got picked up by the cops. Got charged with Grand Theft: Pokemon, breaking and entering, assault and battery, couple of other things. Got sent to juvy till I was 18, my pokemon taken away. On parole till 22 which is when I got my licensed back.
Goal: I don't know, get on with my life. Maybe pick up a few pokemon and try this trainer thing out.
Class: Pokemon Trainer
Pokemon: I would really like an eevee (got it from my parole officer as a gift?!?) if not a Pidgey.

Welcome Pringlesman, you're approved with a Pidgey. It has Tackle, Sand Attack, and Pursuit.
Please add your chatacter to the list in the Active Characters thread. You should probably read the Rules/FAQ just to get yourself up to speed, and then begin in Livian Port please.
I don't really remember what I wrote before, so I'll make a new one from what I remember.
Name: Donnie Afterdentist Age: 19 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 5' 9", 160 lbs Place of Origin: Olivine City Family: His father, Andrew, is the CEO of a large mining corporation, called Large Mining Corporation, named after the founder Sue Large. Due to its prominence in Olivine City, the Afterdentist family has made a name for themselves. Donnie's mother, Lyra, mostly stays at home caring for the family growlithes and vulpixes (they have two of each) while managing her eBay store from which she sells peanuts; her business is not doing well but she doesn't care.
General Appearance: Donnie dresses differently from most kids his age, not because he tries to stand out but because he thinks their style is completely stupid: single-button, collared shirts grew out of fashion ages ago and those who wear them (a lot of people) are simply trying to grasp at strands of their happier past.
Donnie himself dresses simply: he wears a zip-up hoodie with a really cool t-shirt underneath and really awesome jeans (not the skinny kind). His shoes practically allow him to walk up walls (that's how grippy they are!) but he hasn't tested that theory yet. Also, for reasons only known to himself, he carries a broadsword on his back (it'll be fun for others to try and find out the backstory of the broadsword, IMO).
Backstory: You'll have to find out for yourself............................................................... ladies ;]
*sigh* Seriously, iforgot, lose the broadsword. No weapons at all. . . . shoes are OK to an extent: no actual wall-climbing, but crazy backflip streetdancing stuff is alright, I guess.
Conditional approval with Cyndaquil, it knows Tackle, Leer, and Smokescreen. Post your character bio in the Active Characters thread, then start in the Livian Docks, please.
Place of Origin: Desu no Kyoteki (The Land of Insane Death).
Family: Azamaku Shinreigenso has no family.
General Appearance: Hair - Dark Purple, Covers right eye. Eyes - Dark Purple. Skin - Pale. Body - Thin. Shirt: Black, Skinny-fit. Pants: Blue, Skinny-fit.
Backstory: Azamaku Shinreigenso was born in Desu no Kyoteki. The land is a hostile, savage land of Psychic, Dark, and Ghost-type Pokemon and Pokemon trainers intent on using Pokemon as a weapon. Azamaku fled the land at the age of eight, minutes after having slaughtered his two best friends.
Azamaku hid for years, under a false name and personality; a false self. The lack of blood and misery tore at his soul each of those years, creating a hunger. At that point, Azamaku became a registered Pokemon trainer with his Dark Ralts, who aquired the move Curse at birth. The false personality and name of Azamaku did not leave him as he set out on his journey to conquer the Scientific Industry of Pokemon; those around Azamaku know him not as Azamaku but as Axel, a shy, quiet young boy with no intent other than a perfect device of science. Those who do face challenge.
Goal:
Develop a device to harness the energy of Psychic, Dark, and Ghost-type Pokemon, and later use that energy to convert all Pokemon to Psychic, Dark, or Ghost-type.
Family: An only child. His parents are Pokemon researchers--his father studies Pokemon breeding, and his mother studies individual species in great depth.
General Appearance: He has a mane--there's no other way to describe it--of black hair, which is often in one or the other of his eyes and goes partway down his back. He has slightly tanned skin, large purple eyes, and a face that would be rather cute--if it wasn't always in an expression of planning-shenanigans; hating-the-world, or apathy.
He wears short-sleeved shirts, usually with dragons on them; back jeans (never blue ones); white socks; and dirty tennis shoes. There's the lump of some kind of pendant under his shirt, but he keeps it where people can't see it. He has a dark red cloak (the functional kind), but he doesn't wear it often.
Backstory: Darion started as a typical good smart kid--he went to school and was top of the class, he was quiet and polite, he had a couple of friends--the works. He had books about Pokemon, and they fascinated him--he learned as much as a person can learn by reading books about something.
Then he hit high school.
In high school, Darion made a friend named Ted. Ted was not nearly as much of a scholar, but he knew about and enjoyed the finer things in life--like wandering cities at night, vandalizing rich people's houses, and creating amusing spectacles with fireworks and such. To his parents' chagrin, Darion loved this rogue-style life even more than Ted did; it was good therapy for the depression he had begun to develop. His parents eventually agreed to give him a Pokemon if he would leave off the petty crime, but Darion's depression got so bad when he didn't have an outlet that eventually he couldn't take it and ran away from home to start his own Pokemon journey.
Goal: Darion still he likes Pokemon, so he wants to study them by training them; he's a trainer and researcher. He is prone to being distracted, though, between his depression and his love of what he refers to as 'shenanigans'.
Class: Trainer
Starting Pokemon: Hitmonchan, which starts with Revenge and Comet Punch (how does Revenge work in this game anyway?). If he can't have Hitmonchan, let me know and I'll think of another one.
Hiya Shadow, welcome to the World of Pokemon . . . My name is Professor Immersa. . . .
Wait, too much gaming . . . .
Darion is approved for Hitmonchan, but moveset is Revenge, Comet Punch, and Rapid Spin.
Revenge works just like the attack description says: An attack that gains power if injured by a foe. . . . . Actually, it will be interesting to see how you RP that one
Please post your updated bio in Active Characters, and begin in Livian Port.
General Appearance: He has blue hair and is skinny. Very tall, he has a good sense of humor despite the hardships he's faced.
Backstory: He has been alone since birth. He never knew either his mother or his father. He has always loved Poke'mon, but never had the chance to start his journey due to having more pressing matters to attend to (ie, finding food to eat to stay alive, warm clothes, etc.) One day, when he was 10, he went out to look for food outside of Snowpoint and accidentally angered a group of Snover. Luckily, he was saved by a nearby Sneasel, whom he befriended. 8 years later, after working to gather money, he is ready to start his Poke'mon journey. Beginning his journey, he comes across an injured Sneasel which, hoping to repay his debt to the Sneasel which saved his life, he nurses back to health and who becomes his first Poke'mon partner.
Goal: To become a great Poke'mon trainer, and to find the parents he never met.
Class: Poke'mon trainer
Starting Poke'mon: Sneasel (If this isn't ok I can change it to Snover and edit it so that the attackers/saver is switched. But I would really like to have a Sneasel.
No problem, Hat. Approved with Scratch, Leer, and Taunt. Please post your updated bio in the Active Characters thread, and you may begin in Livian Port.

He accepted it for the time, So at the time that ever Male of the Putter Family did at the age of 16, he set out to find his Scyther. Or so his parents thought, instead he caught the first boat out of there. He slowly docked and a thought dawned upon him. He had no pokemon. And the worse Part of it, He had no Idea where to start.
Goal: To explore the world inhope of discovering himself (I know, how much more generic can you get? )
Class: Wandering Trainer
Starter Pokemon: (Do I have a Treeko from the boat ride or is that pre-game null and void? I don't mind, either way.)

Age: 18
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 6'0, 195
Place of Origin: He does not know.
Family: He has none that he knows of. Or doesn't know where they are.
General Appearance: He's a rather average built guy with light tan skin and deep blue eyes. His hair, slightly past his ears, is just as blue as his eyes. He is never without his companion Psyduck or a pair of sunglasses. He wears a white T-shirt with white baggy sweat pants, and a pair of white and blue sneakers. He lurks in the shadows rarely wanting to be seen but will take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself.
Backstory: Since as far back as he can remember, he's been without a family and has never known why, but often wonders what became of his parents. His earliest childhood memories were stealing food for a group of pokemon bandits. He never knew of his real name either but the bandit's (who's favorite game to pass time between heading to new towns and stealing food and pokemon was to play darts) made him fetch the darts for him, and they often called him just simply Dart.
Around the age of 14 he was growing restless with the bandit's who would treat him quite badly and often beat him and starve him. One night he ran away from the bandit's. Knowing that he could do better on his own, then he ever could with the bandit's.
One day, some few months after escaping from the bandits, Dart was walking along a river heading up to the nearest town when the bank gave away, and he fell in the river. The river was very swift and he could barely keep his head above the water. After being swept down river several meters, he enters shallow water only a foot or so deep. As the water barely trickled passed him, the last thing he could remember was hearing a pattering of something coming towards him in the river. And he passes out, just before the figure reaches him.
He awoke some time later laying along the edge of the river bank. With a Psyduck sitting next too him. And starting from that day on, Psyduck has been Dart's greatest companion.
Goal: To hopefully find out what happened to his parents, and to become a powerful trainer.
Class: Wanderer
Starting Pokemon: Psyduck
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 6’1, 200 pounds.
Place of Origin: Eterna City, Sinnoh
Family: He lives alone now.
While he was younger:
Mother: Debra Santin- Pokemon Coordinator
Father: Jim Santin- Currently pursuing the Elite Four spot.
General Appearance: He’s a tall black male with silver hair, crimson eyes. His wardrobe consists of a white zip-up vest with a black tee-shirt (or sweater depending on weather), black pants, and black sneakers (or boots depending on weather). Usually seen with a green Poke Backpack. Unless indoors, he's never seen without his Black Boonie Fisherman's Hat!
Backstory: Ever since the Sinnoh league was formed, Ixider has always wanted to travel and train Pokemon. The problem, school and prior training. His mother was away a lot and his father wasn’t any better. During HS, they enrolled him into the Pokemon Academy. He graduated top honors, but didn’t have a clue on what was next. That’s when he met him. Icy Beak, a Piplup that was injured and mistreated by his previous trainer. After a major incident, the trainer released the Piplup and he then adopted the Piplup and vowed to collect decent breeds of Pokemon and look to follow in his parents footsteps of success.
Knowing this now, he begins his journey with Icy Beak (His Piplup) to the Risin League. He knows what to do and how to do it. But at the same time, he continues to help and find different and rare breeds of pokemon.
Goal: To win every possible league and to collect many different breeds of Pokemon for study.
Class: Pokemon Trainer
Current Pokemon:
Piplup (AKA Icy Beak)
Nature: Calm
Moves: Tackle, Pound, and Growl
Backstory on Icy Beak
From the time of birth, his previous trainers (to include his breeder) have always known Icy Beak had great power, but too composed to do anything. His recent trainer made some headway, but at the same time, Icy Beak was miserable because of the degree of vigorous training involved. After finally passing out being forced to perfect Ice Beam, hs latest trainer released him and walked away disgusted.
That's when Ixider stepped in and took Icy Beak to the nearest pokemon center (Eternal City). He stood by Icy Beak and because Ixider noticed it from the radar/scanner, he knew he had greap potential. He was being overworked to reach it. After a full recovery, Ixider looked at Icy Beak and that's when he gave him the name. He jumped up and sat on Ixider's shoulder and nodded. A new friendship and team was formed.
Ever since then, only Debra has seen the two in the family.

Age: 19
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 6'3" 200 lbs
Place of Origin: Celadon City, Kanto
Family: Rostam comes from a very loving family that consists of a mother, father, and younger sister. They are fairly wealthy and money was never an issue. They want him to grow up and be rich and successful as well. The problem is, Rostam doesn't care about money like they do. His parents are very overprotective and Rostam has lived a sheltered life. He is close with his sister, but their interests are nothing alike.
General Appearance: Rostam is tall with an athletic build. He has tan skin and brown eyes. His hair is dark brown and of medium length. It is generally pushed or combed to the side. It doesn't look extremely neat but it is not messy. Rostam usually wears a button down collared shirt that is usually rolled at the sleeves to the elbows unless it is too hot. He has a white blank shirt underneath that. He usually wears jeans and a nice pair of sneakers. Despite his stature, Rostam looks as if he is 16 or 17. He often gets called 'baby face' and he hates this. In a futile attempt to combat this, he keeps some facial hair. Its usually short but sometimes he shaves clean.
Backstory: Right now, Rostam is a student at a university. He is studying medicine and wants to become a Pokemon doctor. His parents want him to be a people doctor, a lawyer or something of the sort. He doesn't want to be a Pokemon doctor for the money. He is doing it because he wants to help pokemon. He is also adamantly against Pokemon abuse and trainers who force their Pokemon to fight against their wills. He is currently very unsure about a lot of things. He is considering not accepting his parents money any longer. He wants to see if he can make it in the world on his own. He doesn't know how to feel about this. He wants to take a break from school to figure out what he wants to do with his life. In this time, he is going to travel around looking for freelance work in anything he can do. Also, he wants to apply what he has learned so far by helping heal Pokemon after fights. He will also be keeping an eye out for any trainers that abuse their Pokemon. He wants to stop trainers that force Pokemon to fight that do not want to fight.
Goal: Rostam's goal is to prove to his parents that he can make it without them. He doesn't want to be rich. He only wants to make enough to be happy. His main goal is to help Pokemon in any way possible such as helping to stop Pokemon abuse on a global scale.

Age: 19
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'5, 135 lbs
Place of Origin: Route 111, Hoenn
Family: Renton is an only child, born to two Team Rocket members. Their current location is unknown, and Renton doesn't really care to search for them.
General Appearance: Short brown hair, blue eyes, athletic build. Renton's skin is reddened and sandblasted from his time in the desert, making him look a bit older than he is. Underneath the dirt and sunburns he's fairly attractive. Wears a simple light t-shirt and cargo shorts, regardless of the weather. Often has a pair of Go-Goggles around his neck, if only because he thinks they look cool.
Backstory: In the wake of Team Rocket's disbandment, Renton's parents disappeared. With nowhere else to go, Renton wandered the desert of Route 111 until he met his Sandshrew and decided to go see the world.
Goal: To explore exciting places and to show the world what he can do.
Class: Trainer/Adventurer
Starting Pokemon: Sandshrew
(I'm aware that Team Rocket doesn't have a large presence in Hoenn, I'd like to make an exception here)
(And is it cool if I start with Go-Goggles in my inventory? Being from the Hoenn desert and all that...)

Name: Mason Smith
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5 ft 11 in: 150 lbs
Place of Origin: Saffron City: Kanto
Family: Mother: Ann, waitress at the Celedon Cassino. Disowned me after I joined Team Rocket.
Father: Never met
General Appearance: Wear white pants, with a black T-Shirt with a red letter R, over that I have a Whtie button up shirt left open, over that a black hoody. Carry a satchel. Dark piercing eyes, dark hair which is cut to an almost buzz cut.
Backstory: Father left when I was too young to remember him... something about wanting to be a great trainer. Yeah whatever, I just think he didn't want the responsibility of me. Anyways I was left with my mother. We lived in Saffron city near Silph Co, but my mother worked in the Casino in Celedon. Because of the long commute I had a lot of time on my own. Too much time if you ask me. I ended up getting involve in this gang called Team Rocket when I was about nine years old. Even got my first pokemon through them when I turned ten. It was a Growlithe with the meanest temper you will ever see.
Then in 99, I was twelve then, this guy Red comes in and invades the organization. Trying to take us Rockets down. You probably saw the movie they made about it. I even fought against him too. Did just about as well as anyone else did, which is to say not good. After Giovanni lost to Red, I managed to get out of the tower before the cops showed up. Ran away from home to go to the gym in Viridian.
A few months later, Red comes walking through the door and demanded a fight for the badge. I still remember when he fought Giovanni. It was an amazing fight. Even better then the fight you could have seen on Pay-per-view. Y'know the one when where Red fought Lance for the title.
Giovanni officially disbanded Team Rocket after that and I got picked up by the cops. Got charged with Grand Theft: Pokemon, breaking and entering, assault and battery, couple of other things. Got sent to juvy till I was 18, my pokemon taken away. On parole till 22 which is when I got my licensed back.
Goal: I don't know, get on with my life. Maybe pick up a few pokemon and try this trainer thing out.
Class: Pokemon Trainer
Pokemon: I would really like an eevee (got it from my parole officer as a gift?!?) if not a Pidgey.

Name: Donnie Afterdentist
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5' 9", 160 lbs
Place of Origin: Olivine City
Family: His father, Andrew, is the CEO of a large mining corporation, called Large Mining Corporation, named after the founder Sue Large. Due to its prominence in Olivine City, the Afterdentist family has made a name for themselves. Donnie's mother, Lyra, mostly stays at home caring for the family growlithes and vulpixes (they have two of each) while managing her eBay store from which she sells peanuts; her business is not doing well but she doesn't care.
General Appearance: Donnie dresses differently from most kids his age, not because he tries to stand out but because he thinks their style is completely stupid: single-button, collared shirts grew out of fashion ages ago and those who wear them (a lot of people) are simply trying to grasp at strands of their happier past.
Donnie himself dresses simply: he wears a zip-up hoodie with a really cool t-shirt underneath and really awesome jeans (not the skinny kind). His shoes practically allow him to walk up walls (that's how grippy they are!) but he hasn't tested that theory yet. Also, for reasons only known to himself, he carries a broadsword on his back (it'll be fun for others to try and find out the backstory of the broadsword, IMO).
Backstory: You'll have to find out for yourself............................................................... ladies ;]
Goal: So many goals!

Conditional approval with Cyndaquil, it knows Tackle, Leer, and Smokescreen. Post your character bio in the Active Characters thread, then start in the Livian Docks, please.
Age: 15.
Gender: Male.
Height/Weight: 5'11/120 LB.
Place of Origin: Desu no Kyoteki (The Land of Insane Death).
Family: Azamaku Shinreigenso has no family.
General Appearance: Hair - Dark Purple, Covers right eye. Eyes - Dark Purple. Skin - Pale. Body - Thin. Shirt: Black, Skinny-fit. Pants: Blue, Skinny-fit.
Backstory: Azamaku Shinreigenso was born in Desu no Kyoteki. The land is a hostile, savage land of Psychic, Dark, and Ghost-type Pokemon and Pokemon trainers intent on using Pokemon as a weapon. Azamaku fled the land at the age of eight, minutes after having slaughtered his two best friends.
Azamaku hid for years, under a false name and personality; a false self. The lack of blood and misery tore at his soul each of those years, creating a hunger. At that point, Azamaku became a registered Pokemon trainer with his Dark Ralts, who aquired the move Curse at birth. The false personality and name of Azamaku did not leave him as he set out on his journey to conquer the Scientific Industry of Pokemon; those around Azamaku know him not as Azamaku but as Axel, a shy, quiet young boy with no intent other than a perfect device of science. Those who do face challenge.
Goal:
Develop a device to harness the energy of Psychic, Dark, and Ghost-type Pokemon, and later use that energy to convert all Pokemon to Psychic, Dark, or Ghost-type.
Starting Pokemon:
Name: Ralts.
Color: Dark.
Moves: Shadow Ball, Hypnosis.
Post your bio in the Active Characters thread, and continue where you left off in Livian.
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'6" / 135 lbs
Place of Origin: Cerulean City
Family: An only child. His parents are Pokemon researchers--his father studies Pokemon breeding, and his mother studies individual species in great depth.
General Appearance: He has a mane--there's no other way to describe it--of black hair, which is often in one or the other of his eyes and goes partway down his back. He has slightly tanned skin, large purple eyes, and a face that would be rather cute--if it wasn't always in an expression of planning-shenanigans; hating-the-world, or apathy.
He wears short-sleeved shirts, usually with dragons on them; back jeans (never blue ones); white socks; and dirty tennis shoes. There's the lump of some kind of pendant under his shirt, but he keeps it where people can't see it. He has a dark red cloak (the functional kind), but he doesn't wear it often.
Backstory: Darion started as a typical good smart kid--he went to school and was top of the class, he was quiet and polite, he had a couple of friends--the works. He had books about Pokemon, and they fascinated him--he learned as much as a person can learn by reading books about something.
Then he hit high school.
In high school, Darion made a friend named Ted. Ted was not nearly as much of a scholar, but he knew about and enjoyed the finer things in life--like wandering cities at night, vandalizing rich people's houses, and creating amusing spectacles with fireworks and such. To his parents' chagrin, Darion loved this rogue-style life even more than Ted did; it was good therapy for the depression he had begun to develop. His parents eventually agreed to give him a Pokemon if he would leave off the petty crime, but Darion's depression got so bad when he didn't have an outlet that eventually he couldn't take it and ran away from home to start his own Pokemon journey.
Goal: Darion still he likes Pokemon, so he wants to study them by training them; he's a trainer and researcher. He is prone to being distracted, though, between his depression and his love of what he refers to as 'shenanigans'.
Class: Trainer
Starting Pokemon: Hitmonchan, which starts with Revenge and Comet Punch (how does Revenge work in this game anyway?). If he can't have Hitmonchan, let me know and I'll think of another one.
Wait, too much gaming . . . .
Darion is approved for Hitmonchan, but moveset is Revenge, Comet Punch, and Rapid Spin.
Revenge works just like the attack description says: An attack that gains power if injured by a foe. . . . . Actually, it will be interesting to see how you RP that one
Please post your updated bio in Active Characters, and begin in Livian Port.
I hope Darion's tendency to wander around at night and commit random acts of crazy won't be a problem...

Place of Origin: Snowpoint City, Sinnoh
Family: None that he remembers
General Appearance: He has blue hair and is skinny. Very tall, he has a good sense of humor despite the hardships he's faced.
Backstory: He has been alone since birth. He never knew either his mother or his father. He has always loved Poke'mon, but never had the chance to start his journey due to having more pressing matters to attend to (ie, finding food to eat to stay alive, warm clothes, etc.) One day, when he was 10, he went out to look for food outside of Snowpoint and accidentally angered a group of Snover. Luckily, he was saved by a nearby Sneasel, whom he befriended. 8 years later, after working to gather money, he is ready to start his Poke'mon journey. Beginning his journey, he comes across an injured Sneasel which, hoping to repay his debt to the Sneasel which saved his life, he nurses back to health and who becomes his first Poke'mon partner.
Goal: To become a great Poke'mon trainer, and to find the parents he never met.
Class: Poke'mon trainer
Starting Poke'mon: Sneasel (If this isn't ok I can change it to Snover and edit it so that the attackers/saver is switched. But I would really like to have a Sneasel.
