Selenica: League Info and Registration

[BonzaiRob]

Don't think it's one of yours, like Iwraith. I seem to remember something fitting this description from good old Nintendo Worlds.  

[Paran]

Well, from the description that I got from Pory, I know the ghost type is Spiritomb. Rylie doesn't know that, however, so I didn't consider it necessary information.

On the other hand I've got no clue what the horse is, so you've got me beat there.  

[BonzaiRob]

*looks it up* I was thinking Cloalitch. And Paran, I'm disappointed in you! A seasoned RPGsRUser and you don't know what the 6-legged horse is? razz  

[Paran]

... You call me seasoned but you have to remember that I only participated in the tail end of the first Selenica incarnation and the entire ... meh ... that was the second incarnation. I honestly never got around to reading the backstory before Linara joined the first time... and after it died off and got rebooted I didn't see the point anymore.  

[BonzaiRob]

Nyeh, fair enough. Go have a poke around at PF, towards the start of the GSC gen.  

[Paran]

... of course.

You know, my first reaction on reading the description was "is that supposed to be Sleipnir as a pokemon?" I thought it was too silly to be true, which apparently was a mistake on my part.

Sigh.




....desu.

Name: Vee Plowman
Age: 12
Description: She looks younger than she is (Ryu, don't even think about saying the word "Hagu" =P) I needed a visual to help me with her design, so here's a pic of her:

Starting Pokémon: Oddish
Background: Vee was raised in the provencial forest town of Wandell as the youngest of eight brothers and sisters. Being in this position, she often felt overshadowed by the successes of her siblings; furthermore, Vee had a fiery, adventurous personality and became increasingly restless with the rigid traditionalism of her country background. Her father was a breeder and trader of grass-type pokemon, and she loved to spend time mingling with the various pokemon families that they bred and housed.
On her most recent birthday, her father gave her a baby oddish as a sign that she was now old enough to care for her own pokemon. She was thrilled, and named her Peloria. As time passed, however, she realized that she wanted to see and care for more pokemon than just one baby oddish. Finally, she made up her mind to leave Wandell and travel around Selenica collecting and training pokemon. When she learned that the novice initiation in Lodo was approaching, she eagerly begged her parents to take her to the capital city and let her become a pokemon trainer - they, however, would not hear of it.
"Capturing pokemon and making them fight one another is barbaric," they argued, "besides, you're too young to be running around by yourself; you need to stay here and help your brothers and sisters with the pokemon ranch."
While all of these were indeed concerns, Vee was certain that it had more to do with what the neighbors would think than anything. Nevertheless, she had made up her mind. The night before the novice initiation, Vee stuffed her poke-pack with as many essentials as it would hold and snuck out of the house. Halfway through her bedroom window, a tiny voice stopped her.
"Oddi?"
Vee looked down at the little pokemon and bit back tears. "Sorry, Peloria, but I've got to go."
"Oddi-oddish!" Peloria sobbed. "Odd-odd!"
Vee hesitated, then reached down and picked up the downcast oddish. "Alright, you can come with me. But you're still too little to do any battling, you hear?"
With her pokemon companion in tow, Vee silently exited the house and started off on her bike. She had only been to Lodo a few times, but she knew the way well enough. If she made good time, she should be there by dawn...

Vee's final admonition to Peloria that she was too young to battle was really more a reflection of her naivite than anything. While it's true that Peloria is still relatively young and small, she's done a lot of growing under Vee's care and can hold her own against lower-level grass and bug types - something which Vee will come to realize in the early stages of the roleplay. Additionally, Peloria is at level 5 - basic starting level - and she knows Absorb as well as Sweet Scent which Vee taught her using a TM12. So she does at least know some moves.

If I need to make her pick a new starter when she arrives in Lodo I will, but I don't think it's going to be that big of a hinderance. The biggest obstacle really, both for my character and myself, will be the learning curve. After all, this is my first RP with the guild. ^^;

HAGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

Ok, I'll bite:


Name: Eirik Baldur
Age: 11
Description: Short and hefty, Eirik is going to be built for heavy lifting when he grows up, but for now he looks a little...husky we shall say. He has piercing blue eyes and pale blond hair. Already a healthy brushing of peach fuzz covers his pale, white face.
Starting Pokémon: Chikorita (Freyja)
Background: Eirik was raised in Sebriane and has always loved his frozen surroundings, but when it was time to head off to the big city and become a trainer, he took to it with great enthusiasm. Used to seeing lots of ice pokémon, he was shocked when he spotted the green Chikorita. Already amazed by the beauty of the green world outside his ice-covered home, the brilliant grass pokémon seemed to be calling his name. He scooped her up in his arms and teased her little leaf, ready to face all the challenges that might come their way with the strength and determination of a child who has known what work was all his life.

Should I just read over everything and throw in my two bits?
