Character Name: Haruka Tenoh
Blurb: Flirty, masculine free spirit with a tendency to burst into shoujo tropes at short notice. Secretly has A Mission to brood about.

AU Info: Ex-racer, current lead "actor" for the Union Divine Theater. Secretly tracking down the gods' return so she can punch them in the face. Or something. I see no reason any of that is going to change any time soon.

Pre-Existing CR: There's always the theater and the Rhyhorn races! Her Leavanny, Natto, is also quite the social little guy, so there's a chance your Trainer might meet her after their Pokémon become friends.

Looking for: This is weird, but I want negative CR. Give me your jerks and especially your male flirty types. I want to get in a huff about nothing.

Also, cute girls. I want to take cute girls on dates.

Potential Connections: The theater, the Habitat, the racetrack, rich people parties, every coffeeshop. There's one place in particular she visits a lot that's run entirely by Chansey. It is every bit as adorable as that sounds.

Other Info: My tagging quality and speed is still really sporadic and I don't see that changing anytime soon. :( But when RL is treating me well I try to reply at least once a day!

Anything Else?:

not quiiite a jerk here, but apollo has a bit of a tendency to stick his foot in his mouth and might make an offhand comment about how haruka should try to be a little more girly since her attitude puts people off

and then haruka can ~~make him cry~~ get into snits with him about pretty much everything based on that awful first impression

Yeah, that kind of thing wouldn't get her hackles super up, but she'd mouth off anyway. :P Sounds like we should definitely see where that interaction goes!

Player Name: Napy
Preferred Contact: Plurk: Madokami or PM.

Character Name: Kotori Minami
Blurb: Absurdly cute school idol with a strange fondness of alpacas.

AU Info: Kotori is an absurdly cute girl from Caldera that can shift into a fluffy swablu and is generally all around adorable. Her family runs a school in Caldera about arts, bonding with pokemon (they have a Deerling ranch) and pacifism and thus are mostly seen as a fancy extra education if you have the money and time to waste or simply a nursery school but she wants to change that and bring students from Union. One should understand that she isn't very assertive and Caldera isn't a very nice place so doing that will be challenging.

Pre-Existing CR: Anyone from Caldera probably knows or has heard of her family since Otonokizaka academy is kinda infamous due to how much it constrasts with Calderan culture.
Looking for: Well, I'm looking for a part time job for her since she now has pokemon to enable and spoil, people related to the entertainment side so she can become more interested in it and eventually become a Poke-idol and more friends.
Negative CR would be interesting too but honestly getting Kotori to dislike you is very hard so I wouldn't count on it. Maybe friendly rivals in the realm of baking and design?
Potential Connections: She frequents the habitat but mostly in her Swablu form. People may have seen or even chatted with a shiny swablu there.

Other Info: She loves fluffy and cute pokemon so chances of her approaching rise a cute pokemon by your side.

Anything Else?:

Player Name: Showan

Showan04

Character Name: Son Goku
Blurb: He's the nicest, derpiest guy you'll meet- naive, loves to eat, loves to fight, loves to eat, loves to fight, loves to eat...

AU Info: Pretty much the same person from canon, tbh. Parents dead, raised by grandpa, wife and kids. It's just this time he didn't save the world over half a dozen times.

Pre-Existing CR: He's in the Rangers, so anyone from there would probably know him. Other than that, if you're a fan of meat, you've seen him pigging out before.

Looking for: Goku is the kind of guy that literally, quite literally gets along with everyone. He's got a positive outlook towards everybody, so he can literally work with just about anyone in the game.

Things that he isn't really concerned with is like, scholarly things, or things that take away from training. He'll do them, and if it's for a good cause he'll be more than happy to help. But he's dumb and didn't get an education- something like the Seekers really isn't his thing. Politics isn't his thing either.

Potential Connections: Basically anywhere that you could possibly workout/train. And food places. Even leisurely things like fishing, going for walks, relaxing and stuff like that is something he'd do.

Anything Else?:

Man I just want Ichigo and Goku CR, ngl. can we possibly work this out somehow?

Totally! Where does Ichigo like to hang out, or what does he do? Does he have a profession in Union or anything?

CURRENTLY he's bumming it over at the kurain school, in ninetails vale. However, he's probably going to wander around Union a LOT. if Goku's ever around, maybe they can meet up? Ichigo's pretty noticeable, since he's got long orange hair and samurai robes.

I do plan on him eventually joining the swords, but right now...he's kind of a sword ghost who doesn't know much about being human.

I mean, Goku is around but he's not all at the same time- he's not home very often, but when he's in Union and NOT spending time with his family, he's kinda out and about.

He can teach you to eat and become a champion of being a pig, Ichigo. See, humans totally eat six times their weight in food, Goku promises XD

But if Ichigo is dressed like that, Goku is probably wanna know if he's a fighter or anything. Because you know, battle addict.

~~teach me how to punch things you are so cool~~

no but really, goku could probably see apollo around the dojo or the gym reaaaaally late at night and try to talk to him so they can start training together. god knows he could use the help

Edited 2014-10-29 21:16 (UTC)

that sounds like a good idea! Goku is always training all the time, so Apollo could literally run into him ANYTIME tbh

and really that could happen anytime, i've got an ic inbox/appointments post set up on my journal, or we could set up a log (probably after the event, ofc) so they could definitely run into each other.

Character Name: Kousaka Honoka
Blurb: She is also derpy, likes food, and is a real go getter when she wants to be. She can be pretty lazy and doesn't do well in school, but she's also very nice. She's 16 and has a lot of ideas to make other people happy because that's what she likes to do.

AU Info: She comes from Caldera so the war had a big effect on her. She's not fond of fighting at all, but she knows she has to be able to defend herself because of Gigas. Though, she'd much rather find ways to make people smile.

Pre-Existing CR: If they went to school with her in Caldera/went to her parent's sweets shop/lived in Caldera in general.

Looking for: Any, right now I've been focusing on her getting to know the rest of her castmates, and don't have much CR outside of it.

Potential Connections: She'll go shopping for cute clothes/things sometimes, loves to eat at rice/meat places, or just eat bread in general. Nico took her to a idol show so she's starting to get into that too.

Anything Else?:

scribblecloud

Character Name: Metalhawk
Blurb: serious, scowly, brutally honest, noble, and so very SJW
AU Info: He's a Skarmory Shifter originally from Mist, but displaced to Caldera after the raid. He was caught up in the recent war between Gigas and Caldera. Now he's in Union.

Pre-Existing CR: Anyone from Caldera may have bumped into this metal bird at some point or another, especially if they worked menial labor or played a part in the day-to-day battles during the war.

Looking for: Gosh, anything really. I just joined so any CR is new CR for me. ~~I do plan on making a backdated dream post.~~

Potential Connections: the Battalion of Steel from Caldera, high places (in skarmory form), drifting through poorer areas, listening in on politics, lingering around the blacksmith, the library, etc. He gets around.

Other Info: He's skarmory first and human second, though he's had plenty of time to acclimate himself to human culture so he doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. His Pidove has taken to carrier pidgeon duty. It makes her feel important (though she forgets where she's going half the time).

Player Name: Ax
Preferred Contact: AIM: Tuldawen, Plurk

AxiomaticGrue

Character Name: Yuuna Sugasawa
Weird, quirky new Ranger with a fondness for exploring and a chronic case of wanderlust. With some unfortunately large Pokemon.

AU Info: Yuuna is a fairly easygoing young woman with a travel bug. She's not at all interested in staying in one place, and her heart is very much adventurous. She has a fairly relaxed nature in terms of how she interacts with other people, and she's very committed to uncovering more about the world and the world as it was. In a lot of ways she's very goofy, but Yuuna's serious side really comes out when there's danger or work to be done, particularly for the betterment of humanity. She's really creative as well, and loves to sketch or photograph things when she can.

She has earned the ire of a large number of Croagunk (There may be froggy assassins coming after her), is something of a natural disaster with legs, and is generally a pretty friendly gal!

She has also recently joined the Rangers, and helps out at both the medical center and a martial arts dojo.

Pre-Existing CR: Yuuna works with the doctors sometimes, using her medical training and not letting it go to waste, so if your character is involved with that then they may have met. Additionally, she's helped out at one of the school's dojo/gyms, so if your character is into fighting like that, or fitness classes, or stuff like that it's possible they've met? Or possible school friends, people who occasionally visit the bars, and maybe even fighter types who've seen her at local inter-dojo fighting tournaments or something?

Looking for: I'd really like for Yuuna to get a small CR circle who get exasperated with her, or who encourage her more wild tendencies. A night of ill-advised drunken revelry, stupid dares, that sort of thing. Fellow martial artists, people who have problems with overly clingy Aerodactyls, and general positive and negative CR are all things I would love.

Other Possibilities: The medical center, martial arts gyms, around a decent but not exorbitantly expensive area of the Residential area, a favorite bar, these are all possibilities.

Other Stuff

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Character Name: Rei Hino

AU Info: Rei is a partially awakened Enlightened of the fire and psychic types who lives in a small shrine to a flame deity with her grandfather. She lives in Ninetales Vale with a lot of the other spooky-people, occasionally selling services as an exorcist. She is a Kindred Soul, and thanks to that and her strange powers and accurate fortunes, Rei has a reputation as a somewhat odd but lovely girl who has an easier time dealing with Pokemon than people. She is beautiful and at least in her local area she's got a reputation for being a somewhat creepy, icy young lady.

Recently, she's officially aligned herself with the Kurain School in an effort to learn more about her powers. Also because Maya makes her feel normal.

Pre-Existing CR: Schoolmates are a possibility, as are people who are interested in religion/would frequent Hikawa Shrine where she lives/works with her grandpapa. Fellow channeler/shaman types are also possible connections. Or people who may have heard of her "reputation" as a gifted fortune teller.

Looking for: Okay, first things first, I would love some normal people everyday interactions with Rei. I'd also love for Rei to have more CR with boys, her CR is overwhelmingly female aside from a few key people. I'd also love for someone to develop a crush on her, and her to have to deal with that. Boy or girl, that doesn't matter. More general CR would be love, just getting to know each other. Finally, I'd really like for someone to have an actual Ghost related problem that requires an exorcist, and finding a way to put a spirit to rest.

Other Things: Rei frequents her shrine, and has begin taking long distance trips out around the world. She's growing more comfortable with the life of a trainer, and as such thinks that's super important. She's easy to find around Ninetales Vale, the Kurain School, and never, ever in the swamp!

Anything Else?:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Character Name: Yakumo Tsukamoto
Blurb: A sweet, kind high school girl with a problem.

AU Info: Yakumo is a High School student from the same school as Harima Kenji, and she's really fallen pretty hard for that badboy. She's from a noble family, though her parents are always busy, and her elder sister just started university. She's actually pretty normal, aside from being a Psychic/Normal type Enlightened with a mind-reading ability she just can't turn off. She has a permissions post here dealing with that. She's new to training, and has a troublesome Espurr that seems to constantly run away in addition to all of this, and she works at the Breeding Center and Habitat as a volunteer. Pokemon are her love, because she can't read their minds!

Pre-Existing CR: Schoolmates, minor nobles, people who work with the Breeding Center and Habitat.
Looking for: Yakumo needs more CR, honestly. She's new and could use more of all of it in general. School friends, guys with crushes, girls who are jealous of her, Pokemaniacs, new trainers. Old trainers who want a new girl to take under their wing?

I do also specifically want Yakumo to find some sort of older student/trainer/teacher to act as a mentor figure and help her get over her shyness and stand up for herself a bit more so her friends don't keep yanking her into crazy situations.

Potential Connections: School, Breeding Center, Habitat, the areas immediately outside Union.

Other Info: Not that I'm aware of. I work 9-5 so my daytime tagging can be sparse.

Player Name: Eski
Preferred Contact:Ye olde plurk, Eskiwen on Aim

Character Name: Ichigo Kurosaki
Blurb: Grumpy shonen hero who's smarter than he looks, with a heart of gold and a HUGE protection complex.

AU Info: He's a Honedge shifter, and is the soul of someone who lived 500 years ago and died during the first attack of the war. He's more inclined to think of himself as a pokemon first, human second - and he's pretty clueless about most of human things. WHAT IS THIS WHAT IS THAT

He lives in the Kurain School in Ninetails Vale! Learning about ghost things. I'm thinking about once he's settled down a bit and learned things, about him possibly either joining the Rangers or the Swords, but that'll be a few months down the line.
Pre-Existing CR: NOT UNLESS YOU ARE ALSO FROM 500 YEARS AGO, whoops. Although, he did wander around as a shiny Honedge in the forests around union for a bit, around a month or so.

Alo, he does live in ninetails Vale, so...he's definitely noticeable.
Looking for: ALL THE CR but no, really. I want positive cr, negative CR, hangouts and stuff. Romance stuff might...take a while, since. Ichigo has a lot of other things to figure out first.
Potential Connections: Ninetails vale, Kurain school. He'll eventually start branching out, though.

Other Info: I'm EST, and rn I'm suffering from heavy depression with no meds to help, so my tagging can be super sporadic.
Anything Else?:

T-TECHNICALLY USAGI'S PAST LIFE LIVED 500 YEARS AGO? SO we could go with a weird feeling of dejavu like they know each other or something. idk. I'm all up for that.

Besides, shiny Ralts / Kirlia / Gardevoir / Gallade romance must happen! It will be a story told through the poke-ages!

HMM WELL

Thing about that is, when exactly would Usagi be living during the past? Ichigo lived shortly before the war began, and then died during the first wave, so to speak. If in Usagi's past life, she lived before the war, we may have something!

YES MAN THAT GOTTA HAPPEN. Also I hear you are afraid of ghosts, usagi? let Ichigo help change that

..... honestly I have no idea? XD The background we have for the Sailor Moon cast is kind of vague, but from the looks of reading through the premise of the game, Usagi's past self would have been alive before the war doing... something...

YEAH WELL YOU'D BE AFRAID OF GHOSTS TOO IF THEY WERE YOUR TYPE WEAKNESS, AND YOU WERE ALMOST SPIRITED AWAY BY A FLOCK / HORDE OF DRIFLOON yes pls help ichigo Usagi needs to toughen up.... ~~and usagi needs to mimic her ralts and help ichigo feel like he's normal!!!!!~~

Ichigo was a trainer before the war, so maybe they might have seen each other while he was wandering around everywhere? idk. Maybe even a friendship /SHRUGS LOUDLY

Carried away by balloon pokemon is a problem, yeah. But sword ghost will not carry you okay ok ok. ~~YES PLEASE that would be quite helpful!!~~

It wouldn't be the first time that Usagi's met people from TBH. She was a lot older then, at least her mid-late twenties? Again IDK vague backstory so if we go this route we can just go "OH HAY DEJAVU" and leave it at that. ~~or we could just head canon a whole bunch of stuff for the hell of it because WHY NOT it's an AU.~~

Sword ghost is fine by Usagi's books. SHE CAN HANDLE MOST ANYTHING BUT GENGARS AND DRIFLOONS. ~~IT SHALL BE SO. USAGI WILL MAKE ICHIGO FEEL LIKE A NORMAL GUY. IT'S IN HER CHARACTER TROPE... I MEAN IT'S WHAT SHE DOES.~~

I should probably actually tag Ichigo with Jinxie sometime since he lives right next door to her and all. Until then, we can probably assume that they've at least met and talked a few times?

YES I'd love to get a thread between them going someday! But yes, we can assume that Ichigo and Jinxie have spoken! He'd probably worry over her, ngl.

Character Name: Apollo Justice
Blurb: Low-ranked Sword of the Savior. He tends to be a little too serious and a little too loud, but he means well.

AU Info: instead of dedicating his life to finding the truth, apollo's helping out his fellow man by keeping the faith. he hasn't been able to do much since he got his commanding officer arrested for being involved in Shady Disappearances, but that isn't stopping him from making his own path his own way.

as of this moment i figure he's trying to make sure nothing's getting too out of hand with this whole soulfasting business while doing his usual duties and patrols.

he is ALSO trying to figure out how to take care of his newly bonded pokemon. he's never had any before, so if you see him around the daycare or the training dojos, you should definitely bother him.

Pre-Existing CR: um, i think

healthepot's player mentioned that apollo's probably seen him around? but that might be it for pre-existing. apollo doesn't really go out of his way to talk to people very often.

Looking for: new friends, rivals, ~~criminals to catch~~, anything really. he's pretty lonely.

Potential Connections: apollo often frequents the agnostos temple or the university's library when he does wander out from his tiny apartment in the industrial district. he does do patrolling so he can potentially meet anyone, really, but he's most likely going to be professional and brief.

Other Info: i work during the week til closing. there's been a lot of downtime lately so you might be getting mostly phone tags

ALSO APOLLO IS KIND OF SCARED TO DEATH OF ANYTHING REMOTELY GHOST-RELATED because he doesn't know how to handle it. help him get over his fear yo @literally everyone in ninetales vale

Anything Else?: please be friends with this loser he can't handle this by himself i mean look at him

Edited 2014-10-29 21:00 (UTC)

/lurk emote goes here

come be friends with the ghost sword, apollo

let's get all casper up in this mother effer, man

you should totally discover apollo during one of his patrols late at night

I can see it now

Apollo wandering the streets

All of a sudden

A RED SWORD FLOATS OUT OF THE DARKNESS

WHAT DO YOU DO APOLLO

oohhHHHH MY GOD

WHOOOOOOOOOO

and then you see it's a pokemon who's in a scabbard anyway

Suddenly less scary y/n????

LET'S BE AFRAID OF GHOSTS TOGETHER, APOLLO.....

d-don't worry

i'll protect you from their awful clammy ways

i hope you enjoy being spirited away by a flock of drifloons then......

nnnGH that-- I'll be fine!! I'm way heavier than a child, they couldn't... could they?

of course not.

unless you're about 130lbs being lifted by like 20 - 30 drifloons.

then there might be a problem....

it's the red oni

~~oh great, we have to go through this again~~

Edited 2014-10-30 17:57 (UTC)

Probably not, actually. This Jinxie's a lot less overtly superstitious as concerns ghosts since they are a demonstrable thing that live in the streets and can be seen by everyone. She's still heavily involved with the spiritual community, but her personal superstitions tend to have more to do with charms, fortune telling, and that kind of stuff than revolving around Pokemon themselves, with the notable exception of Honchkrow and Ninetales (the AU stand-ins for Tenma Taro and the Amazing Nine-Tails). She's also related to Maya Fey as her younger cousin from a branch family of the main Fey line, and Papa is still around as an NPC who takes care of political stuff in Ninetales Vale while Maya's busy being spiritual leader.

Also, no alderman murder case!

that is true! no alderman murder case ~~so apollo isn't used to getting slapped in the face with charms yet, if that's still a thing~~

apollo is actually bonded with a murkrow, if you wanted to roll with that somehow for their first meeting. idk how to go about that though-- is the legend more or less the same, just with pokemon instead of the demons?

i would like for apollo to hang out with people from ninetales vale since he still has a bit of a bias towards ghost pokemon. ghosts unnerve him because he hasn't had a lot of exposure to them yet, and i'd like for him to get more familiar with the idea. it'd be some really fun character development.

Edited 2014-10-30 18:19 (UTC)

The legend as I've chosen to present it in BNW is basically a big-ass Honchkrow attacked Jinxie's family's ancestors 500 years ago when the Pokemon rose up, and they were saved by a benevolent Ninetales that drove it off. They still call the Honchkrow 'Tenma Taro' and half of the name survives as the family name, etc.

She's pretty superstitious about the legend and got herself a Ninetales a while back that she pampers and treats like it's a god on earth, and would probably faint if confronted with an actual Honchkrow. Murkrow I've been saying are okay just because it's a starter and she'd be passing out all the time if that were the case.

Notably, she had a nightmare about the Tenma Taro thing during the event, and Lux helped her through it in a way that will probably result in Jinxie starting to let go of that extreme reaction just a little. Like anything, it will take time. But if Apollo wants to get used to ghosts, Jinxie can absolutely help him out with that.

would you like to be sword buddies apollo

Character Name: Yu Narukami
Blurb: Derp who is blunt and is a bit of a badass at times. Will befriend you and your cat. Or bears.

AU Info: Yu's a pretty lonely kid, feeling like an outsider in Caldera due to his Enlightened abilities and that he can befriend Pokemon easier than humans. He's in Union to find his way in life and maybe get some friends out of it.

Pre-Existing CR: If anyone from Caldera wants to know Yu as that 'weird kid who talks to Pokemon alot' they can. Other than that I am open to any type of pre-existing CR.

Looking for: Friends, enemies, fellow Pokemon Whisperers, just about anything to get Yu to loosen up and be more outgoing.

Potential Connections: For now, Yu's exploring Union so he's going to take a look around first before joining anything.

Other Info: I work in retail so they have odd hours but I'm usually home in the evenings and adjusting to a new time zone. And the holidays are coming up so my tagging might be off.

Anything Else?:

Edited (oops add stuff) 2014-11-02 07:40 (UTC)

Usagi was in Caldera a few months back to help build the pokemon habitat there. Could they have accidentally crossed paths because one of her pokemon got lost in a big new place that they've never been before?

EITHER WAY, I WOULD LIKE USAGI TO BEFRIEND YU, BECAUSE NO ONE SHOULD FEEL LIKE AN OUTSIDER.

~~could he have given the pokemon treats?~~

Yeah they could've passed each other and Yu doing something really weird might end up being something she remembers when they run into each other again.

~~TREATS ARE ABSOLUTELY ALLOWED because Usagi's unintentionally trained them that anyone who gives them treats are good people. ... since that's usually how she ends up befriending them orz~~

What kind of weird thing could he have done? ... and also he's also allowed to remember the girl with the weird hairstyle.. because how many people have two twin bun tails and super long blonde hair anyway?

~~but then there could be bad people who give them treats!~~

He could've been playing with a few pokemon and acted more like them than human (like if one of them rolled in the grass like a cat or dog, he'd do it too). It's his befriending technique and it seems to work...and it's fun.

the buns are so perfect....seriously how do they stay up like that? XD;

~~they like to think they have a better grasp on who's a good guy and who's a bad guy..... really...~~

Usagi would ... definitely think that's weird, but then think it's adorable because everyone's having a good time! It might even make her want to join in for a little bit!

also it takes lots of hair ties and bobby pins. there will be no lop sided buns from this girl!

Character Name: Cynthia
Blurb: She's the champion from pokemon DPP, and is freakishly obsessed with ruins and mythology...and bikinis.

AU Info: Let me point you to the well organized bullet points

Pre-Existing CR: Well her AU story goes way back to her childhood, so people can pretend to just know her from that one family or from her rank in her profession? I really don't know. But CR wise, she's got zilch
Looking for:
"Possible childhood friends, family friends, work buddies, just friends in general to start her off? Also you may all battle with each other to win the title of her BFF. lmao"

also

"I welcome shipping and weird surprises like "oh I was friends with your father" or "I'm actually your mother's reincarnate" or something. But enemies are no bueno for now."

Potential Connections: Well, her whole AU life is devoted to the Swords of the Savior, the Historians and the Delvers...so there's that. She's also part of an important family so I'm sure that would have gotten her connections growing up. If there's a library, she's probably always there as well, and I plan on having her frequent one cafe and one bar when things settle down.

Other Info: She has a gible! That's it.
