[OOC Board] - All the World's a Game - Season II

[NeoFox]

Okay thanks you guys ^^ Now I need to make a post... how should I introduce her in London?

[S121]

@NeoFox

Well, due to Chung's help in the creation of a Disfrozen portal for Prometheus Labs, he was on the news. Perhaps Aisha saw that news report and decided to go find Chung.

[Katrix]

@Neo

This will be VERY interesting as time goes. She'll have to find a way to resist the darkness tough, or else she'll drown.

[NeoFox]

@Katrix

It's not Darkness like in Kingdom Hearts. When referring top the "Path of Darkness" it refers to the influence Dark El has over her. If Dark El becomes to strong IN she will actually morph like a full on demon, not a heartless or anything. She still has a pure heart, and even if she has control over her dark magic she still has to deal with Dark El which is different then Kingdom Hearts darkness. She's not weak at all spiritually and she has a strong will. It's just that if she does ever go down the path of Dark El (like she decides to actually start purposefully absorbing it OR someone forces her to absorb it) she will become something worse than a demon.

[Katrix]

@Neo

I'm not talking about direct influence like that. The thing about darkness of KH is that it also erodes the heart. There are many things this can do, but the most normal thing it does is to kind of corrupt the person. Makes them take choices that take them down the dark path. Enough exposure will have her accept it like nothing else. That's why it's dangerous for her. It kind of goes inside of her mind and rewires a little. Of course a small dip should be nothing, but she's not the safest person either.

[NeoFox]

@Katrix

Yeah well I was just letting you know in case there was a misunderstanding.

Either way she has to just keep a pure heart (in the sense that she must try to fight any dark influences on her heart either by KH darkness, or the more direct Dark El) or bad shit will happen to her.

I even having something planned where Dark El actually corrupts her completely, turning her into a monster worse than a demon much later in the RP. Now I feel like with the KH darkness it will actually interfere even though it shouldn't. =-= I'm too damn paranoid

[Katrix]

@Neo

Yep, she'll have to try. Only thing that helps. Nearly no one can withstand it. Even Sora is affected by it to some degree.

[SUSTIC]

I'll just leave this here for you both. Angkor (Aisha's demon bat), and the Kyubei from Madoka Magjica

Spoiler: Drayden, the Spartan Mayor

Name: William Sherlock Scott Holmes Wriggurun

Timezone: PST

NPC Character: Drayden, the Spartan Mayor

Game of Origin: Pokemon Black/White

Power:
While Drayden does not have a magical ability of his own, his Pokemon certainly does. And the fact that he was the one of the gym leader of the Unova region is nothing to laugh at. His prowess as a strategist is remarkable, able to quickly analyze and decide on what the best move would be.

Not only that, but Drayden also possesses nearly godlike stamina, endurance, and physical strength, being able to wrestle with his own Dragon-type Pokemon that, according to their Pokedex entries, can decimate battalions of professionally trained soldiers. According to his training schedule, he does:

1. 10,000 sit-ups
2. 10,000 push-ups
3. 10,000 squats

Of course, this is ludicrous for a single person to be able to do in one sitting, but it gives you the scale of how tough it is to defeat Drayden even without his Pokemon.

Weapons: POKEMON ARE NOT TOOLS

Spoiler: Pokemon Team

Basic Info:
Pokemon: Salamence, the Dragon Pokemon
Type: Dragon/Flying
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Moxie - Boosts Attack after knocking out any Pokemon.
Held Item: Lum Berry - Cures any status ailments once.

Moves:
Dragon Dance - The user vigorously performs a mystic, powerful dance that boosts its Attack and Speed stats.
Outrage - The user rampages and attacks for two to three turns. It then becomes confused, however.
Earthquake - The user sets off an earthquake that strikes those around it.
Aqua Tail - The user attacks by swinging its tail as if it were a vicious wave in a raging storm.

Biology:
Height: 7.5 meters or 24.6 feet
Weight: 615.6 kg or 1357.2 lb
Gender: Male
Wingspan: 9 meters or 29.5 feet

Description:
Drayden's Salamence, while he looks menacing, is actually cheerful and happy-go-lucky. He is eager to accept the challenges in his ways. He thinks of them as some sort of a game. He loves Jell-O's.

Salamence will grow more and more confident as he slays foes, eventually reaching his top capacity in long-term fights. This is why Drayden usually sends him early in a battle, to make sure he reaches the maximum power by the end where the trump cards are released from the opponents.

Lum Berry is stored under his wings, and when his battle capacity is below normal(Example: He is paralyzed, burned, poisoned etc) he will eat this to return his power to normal. Drayden has to manually recharge his Berry every battle. Good thing Drayden carries a Lum Berry tree whenever he is moving to a new home.

---

Basic Info:
Pokemon: Charizard, the Flame Pokemon
Type: Fire/Flying
Nature: Timid
Ability: Solar Power - Boosts the Sp. Atk stat in sunny weather, but HP decreases.
Held Item: Life Orb - An item to be held by a Pokémon. It boosts the power of moves, but at the cost of some HP on each hit.

Moves:
Flamethrower - The target is scorched with an intense blast of fire. This may also leave the target with a burn.
Air Slash - The user attacks with a blade of air that slices even the sky. This may also make the target flinch.
Dragon Claw - The user slashes the target with huge, sharp claws.
Roost - The user lands and rests its body. It restores the user’s HP by up to half of its max HP.

Biology:
Height: 4.6 meters or 15.1 feet
Weight: 598.5 kg or 1319.47 lb
Gender: Female
Wingspan: 7.7 meters or 25.26 feet

Description:
While Charizard isn't exactly a Dragon type, Drayden's Charizard is a force to be reckoned with. Her fiery breath can melt a glacier weighing at 10,000 tons within 2 minutes, and her wings can carry anyone up to the altitude of up to 4,600 feet into the air. She is very shy, and will try to hide behind Drayden when near strangers even though she is more than two times taller than him.

Solar Power's level is determined by how sunny the weather is during the battle.

Level 1: Completely cloudy/raining/snowing/hails. Charizard gains no bonus.
Level 2: Partially cloudy. Charizard's attacks are 10% more powerful. (Flamethrower temperature, Air Slash speed, Dragon Claw force)
Level 3: Cloudless. Charizard's attacks are 20% more powerful.
Level 4: Scorching Hot. Charizard's attacks are 30% more powerful, and Charizard is 30% more tenacious.

Life Orb increases Charizard's attacks by 30%, but she gets tired a lot easier. This is the reason why Drayden uses Charizard only for small skirmishes and for short decisive battles.

Basic Info:
Pokemon: Hydreigon, the Brutal Pokemon
Type: Dark/Dragon
Nature: Modest
Ability: Levitate - This Pokemon is not hit by Ground-type attacks.
Held Item: Expert Belt - Boosts the power of super-effective moves by 20%

Moves:
Draco Meteor - Comets are summoned down from the sky onto the target. The attack's recoil harshly lowers the user's Special Attack stat.
Surf - The user attacks everything around it by swamping its surroundings with a giant wave. This can also be used for crossing water.
Flash Cannon - The user gathers all its light energy and releases it at once. This may also lower the target's Sp. Def stat.
Dark Pulse - The user releases a horrible aura imbued with dark thoughts. This may also make the target flinch.

Biology:
Height: 5.5 meters or 18 feet
Weight: 480 kg or 1058.2 lb
Gender: Female
Wingspan: 10 meters or 32.8 feet

Description:
Hydreigon always strides for better results. Even when others may say that she did flawlessly, she always works harder and harder for better results. More efficient ways to decimate her opponents. Perhaps this is why Drayden chose her to be his Hydreigon.

Levitate is really that. Any attacks that involve something moving around in the vicinity of ground, Hydreigon can move away from.

Expert Belt is where if the attack hits the weak point of anyone, it will deal more damage. It does take into effect the types, how prepared the opponent is for the attack, and where the attack will hit. Because of Hydreigon's various attack methods, she is Drayden's most well-rounded Dragon.

---

Basic Info:
Pokemon: Haxorus, the Axe Jaw Pokemon
Type: Dragon
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Mold Breaker - Moves can be used on the target regardless of its Abilities.
Held Item: Lum Berry

Moves:
Swords Dance - A frenetic dance to uplift the fighting spirit. This sharply raises the user's Attack stat.
Outrage - The user rampages and attacks for two to three turns. It then becomes confused, however
Superpower - The user attacks the target with great power. However, this also lowers the user's Attack and Defense stats.
Earthquake - The user sets off an earthquake that strikes those around it.

Biology:
Height: 8.25 meters or 27 feet
Weight: 625 kg or 1377.9 lb
Gender: Male
Wingspan: None

Description:
Drayden's go-to Pokemon, Haxorus doesn't take shit from anybody, Pokemon, trainers, anything. To him, how one looks or how one feels is not important. What is important is how one acts. What one can do to prove one's power. This is why he chose to seek training under Drayden.

Mold Breaker ignores any and all countermeasures against him. He charges boldly like a juggernaut, smashing aside anything with his jaws that can cut through solid blocks of Titanium. It fits his battle style: to wreak havoc and cause chaos for himself to rampage in.

He also carries Lum berry, but he holds it by wrapping it around his tails when he fights. This also causes his tails to become like a large mace, swinging it around with devastating effect. Combine this with his base 147 Attack and you get Drayden's favorite Anti-siege Pokemon.

Weaknesses:

Ice types.
Fairy types.
Other Dragon types.

Because of the game's nature, the Pokemon are hard to kill. The closest they will reach to death is a long-term faint, or a Poke-coma. Drayden himself, however, can be killed, for he is a human trainer... if one can kill him of course.

Appearances:

LOOK AT THAT BEARD

Spoiler:

Personality:

Drayden is authoritative, tough, and disciplined... or at least on the outside he is. In reality, if you manage to crack through his thick shell, he is a compassionate man for his students and his Pokemon. He believes in power and potential, and is eager to find young trainers that he can train to grant them a brighter future. He knows he is old, but he believes that trying your hardest and giving your all is the vital energy of life.

Morality: Lawful Good

"The cooperation of people and Pokémon is how Unova came to exist to begin with. If a Pokémon really didn't want anything to do with humans, it would simply leave... Capturing a Pokémon in a Poké Ball doesn't mean you've captured its heart." - Drayden

Drayden believes in mutual trust between Pokemon and people, and through that, between each person.

Biography: Mayor of Opelucid Gym, Drayden is dubbed the Spartan Mayor by the Unova region residents. Strong-willed and determined, he is respected in the Pokemon world as a skilled dragon master, on par with the likes of Drake, Clair, and Lance.

But even he could not know the world beyond the Pokemon world. So when he was warped from his game to the real world, he was confused at first. He and his four most trusted Pokemon were still here, but there were no other trainers within site... or no Pokemon other than his to be exact. Gathering information, he realizes that he is in the real world, and how he and his Pokemon wouldn't have even existed if they were deemed unsatisfactory by a couple of incompetent men sitting behind computers all day... that thought enraged Drayden. He was the pinnacle of hard work, he and his Pokemon, and their efforts couldn't have been fake. To prove that their achievements cannot be taken away by a couple scrubs, Drayden and his Pokemon seek out to help those in need of a justified, steadfast leader.

It is not the passage of time that causes Pokémon and people to age. When the energy that flows in their heart dries up, that's when they get old. The heart's energy is powered by truth, ideals or maybe dreams... No doubt it changes depending on what you most hope for in life. - Drayden

Trauma: None.

Notes: Here's his theme song...

@Wriggle

Looks good to me.

[SUSTIC]

Same here.

[WriggleRid3r]

Spoiler: Karen, the Dark Mistress

Name: Wriggurun

Timezone: PST

NPC Character: Karen

Game of Origin: Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal

Power:
Karen herself does not possess any powers. However, she has enough dignity and intelligence to be recognized as the strongest of the Johto League Elite Four.

She is sly and cunning, like most Dark type users are. This leads to her being an expert orator, able to convince and persuade a large group of people with only her words. And when her words fail her, her Pokemon won't.

Weapons: POKEMON ARE NOT TOOLS

Spoiler: Pokemon Team

Basic Info:
Pokemon: Honchkrow, the Big Boss Pokemon
Type: Dark/Flying
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Moxie - Boosts Attack after knocking out any Pokemon.
Held Item: Life Orb

Moves:
Sucker Punch - This move enables the user to attack first. This move fails if the target is not readying an attack.
Brave Bird - The user tucks in its wings and charges from a low altitude. This also damages the user quite a lot.
Superpower - The user attacks the target with great power. However, this also lowers the user's Attack and Defense stats.

Biology:
Height: 2.2 meters or 7.2 feet
Weight: 155.2 kg or 342.2 lb
Gender: Female
Wingspan: 4.8 meters or 15.75 feet

Description:
Honchkrow always strived to increase her flock's lifestyles. However, when a natural disaster annihilated her flock of Murkrows, the Honchkrow fell into deep despair. The despair, however, turned into anger as Honchkrow realized that it was the humans' fault that the disaster happened. In heat of rage, the Honchkrow attacked as many humans as it can, even killing some. This led Karen, the renowned Dark-type trainer, to capture and kill the Honchkrow.

After a week of relentless search, Karen found the Honchkrow, already battered by the human force's pursuit. The Honchkrow accepted defeated and only awaited for her execution... but instead, she found Karen handing her a Pokeball with a smile. Karen knew exactly how it felt like to lose everything you held dear for. Karen gave the Honchkrow a chance to redeem herself, and the HOnchkrow took it.

Description:
Absol knew no love from her parents. Born as an abandoned orphan, this sad Pokemon had to try her hardest just to barely survive. She knew of the opportunity of being selected as a trainer's Pokemon, but her tendency to bring disaster in her wake left her unwelcomed and even violated.

One day, Absol had enough. Standing near the waterfall, she decided to drown and end her life there... until she found a beautiful female trainer bathing nearby. It was Karen, 5 years ago, a skilled Dark type trainer and a survivalist who liked to camp in the outdoors. Something about Karen allured the Absol to continue living, something about her that refueled Absol's will to survive. And now she gives her all to make sure that no opponent can defeat Karen so easily.

Scrafty's family was involved in a Poke-gang warfare, forcing his family to be on the run. Being on the run taught Scrafty that himself is the only Pokemon that he can trust, even as a Scraggy.

One day, while the Scrafty and his family was running from a mission gone wrong, a group of Granbulls attacked, forcing the entire group to split and go their separate ways. Scrafty suffered a heavy injury, and just as he was about to faint, he was given a man-made potion from a kind young lady trainer in blue hairs.

For the next month, the Scrafty sought out to search for this trainer. And when he finally found her, he offered his service to the trainer.

Basic Info:

Type: Dark/Fire
Nature: Naive
Ability: Flash Fire - Powers up the Pokémon's Fire-type moves if it's hit by one.
Held Item: Life Orb

Moves:
Nasty Plot - The user stimulates its brain by thinking bad thoughts. This sharply raises the user’s Sp. Atk.

Dark Pulse - The user releases a horrible aura imbued with dark thoughts. This may also make the target flinch.

---

Basic Info:
Pokemon: Umbreon, the Moonlight Pokemon
Type: Dark
Nature: Calm
Ability: Synchronize - Passes poison, paralyze, or burn to the Pokémon that inflicted it.
Held Item: Leftovers

Moves:
Wish - One turn after this move is used, the target's HP is restored by half the user's max HP.

Biology:
Height: 1.0 meters or 3.3 feet
Weight: 27 kg or 59.5 lb
Gender: Male

Description:
Karen's father was a Pokemon breeder. When Karen became 10, along with the Houndour puppy out of the egg, she received an Eevee from her father. Who knew that those two Pokemon would be the last gift Karen would ever receive from her parents?

Karen cried herself to sleep every day. With no relatives in Kanto that could lend her a hand, Karen had to travel to Johto by foot. The Eevee, sympathizing Karen's grief, evolved into an Umbreon by himself, to get stronger, to be able to fill Karen's face with a smile again.

Weaknesses:

Bug types.
Fairy types.
Fighting types.

Because of the game's nature, the Pokemon are hard to kill. The closest they will reach to death is a long-term faint, or a Poke-coma. Karen herself, however, is vulnerable. Of course, it would be bad manner to attack the trainer directly while he/she has a Pokemon out on a field.

Appearances:
My lord my nose is going to be flooded today

Spoiler:

Personality:

Karen has a painful past behind her glamorous and lavish looks. To cover up for her inferior and embarrassing past, she acts haughty and arrogant. She has nothing to fear, and act like a pillar of support for her surroundings... a pillar without a foundation, that is.

Morality: True Neutral

Biography: When Karen was 10, her father gave her a Houndour puppy and an Eevee for her birthday present. Going out to explore the world with trusted Pokemon was a greatest honor that a 10 year old could earn, and Karen was overjoyed. For the rest of the day, she went out and bragged to everyone in town how she will become the greatest Pokemon trainer.

By the time Karen came back to her home, the house was empty. Furniture were broken, and in the parents' bedroom lay the corpses of her parents. It was a burglar with a Scyther that used the move Slash to cut the defenseless inhabitants down.

With no relatives to take her in, and the unstable orphan care policy of the Pokemon Government, Karen was left out on her own with her young Pokemon to brave the wilderness. Every night she spent in tears. But she did not give up. The grieving began to dull. When her Eevee evolved into an Umbreon, she realized that there was enough darkness in her heart for her to become a skilled Dark type trainer. For the next few years she spent surviving the harsh Pokemon world, taking in other Pokemon that were outcast from society and training them to be able to survive, until her Pokemon and herself grew so competent that they were admitted as the Elite Four member of the Johto League.

But that's all history.

One day, while Karen was walking through the wilderness near the Indigo Plateau, she found an odd marking in the sky. When she approached it, she was sucked into another world... the so-called real world. Her Pokemon were still here, but she was worried about her duty as the Elite Four. Now she seeks Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon, to find any ideas of how to return back to her world... rumor has it that Satoshi Tajiri is now living in South Korea...

Trauma: The death of her parents haunts her still.

Notes: None

[Katrix]

@Wriggle

Looks good, however, have you tought about what a turns and stats will mean in the RP?

[SUSTIC]

I find it good Wriggle, but I do ask the same thing that Katrix asked. How will you handle turns (obvious what this would be), and how will you handle stats?

[WriggleRid3r]

Stats will be easy.

HP - Endurance
Atk - Physical attack power
Def - Physical defense power
Sp. Atk - Magical attack power
Sp. Def - Magical defense power
Speed - Speed

I average a regular, non-character human to be around 40/40/40/30/30/50.

Turns... Idk. I'll figure it out and post when I have an idea for it.
