Noir

Hmm, making up my mind and after a bit of research, I think I can have a character ready for this (several options, one class). How technically "old" should the characters be to be acceptable though? Considering Phantom of the Opera was an early 1900s work, I suppose anyone relevant from that timeframe can work? #DibsonArcher

For posting reasons and more curiosity feed I'm going to ask a bit more, do forgive me and tell me if I'm asking too much though What's a childhood memory that makes you smile whenever you think of it? What makes you happiest most in life? If there's anything you could change about a person that you would hope to (or want to), particularly me, what would it be

7/10, but that's just me

For a moment I thought the Dirk was more inclined towards Malmortius, actually. Guess that's my bad, (I derp a lot lately what the hell) but you didn't finish it in the end Getting back on topic, I like how Kled was designed based off memes: http://eune.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/champions-skins/champion-preview/champion-insights-kled-noxian-meme

That's because you're building it wrong. If you've seen the stuff that's going on with Ray lately, you'll know that Duskblade is stupidly effective on J4 in the assassin role. Much like Jhin, Youmuu's/Duskblade are cores (after Tiamat I suppose, and sometimes people build Ravenous Hydra before these two). Don't get me wrong, your build is a-OK and standard, just that without Duskblade expect less kills because lack of AD/CDR for timing and the yummy passive, especially against Flash/mobile stuff #J4oneshots

Septhis, approved to Enter the Gates “My word I give you, fellow guard. My word.” Brushing aside a tinge of snow that coated his grey, cloth-like skin as the Grumpig released him from his psychokinetic grasp, he passed through the gate mechanically, slowly, wanting to indulge in every step as he would now finally set foot on the theatre he would direct. Sights of the many structures erected from an art alien and unrecognizable were set into place before him as civilization painted itself before him, many Pokemon amidst the hustle and bustle moved about committing to each of their own individual duties, to selling to running. Such was the life and idiosyncratic elements that he had yearned for. Five painstaking days of nothing, but the scene set out before him seemed worthwhile- But where was the effervescence he was promised to see? What of the peace and vibrancy that should've stood here, instead of greeting him with medics treating the wounded, a gloomy, dolorous atmosphere set out before him? What of the stagnant, malaise faces of Pokemon as they lived their lives here? Not a single shred of a smile stood on the scattered, unfamiliar faces as they ignored him while he walked amidst the crowd. What of the rumours he had trusted and pursued to see here? What of the wonders he was promised upon overcoming that via dolorosa? Where? Where were they? Alas, not but a venue such as this is spared from loss and strife. He should have expected as much, really; much like how he appeased and distracted himself with the stupor of his past glories where he was granted the privilege to perform amidst the cold, unmoving journey to the lands his feet now stepped on, many ignorant of the reality here, confined to the harshness of the world out there had equally found the Enclave as the glimmer of hope needed to move forward. The Pillar was as much as place of war as the rest, if not worse. Of course, he wasn’t disappointed in the slightest. Had it been the haven akin the rumours the many ignorant souls out there believed in, what but a stagnant opera would come out of it? Granted, this was much better off than many a struggling fate lost and hungry out there, but it was the conflict that truly mattered. Life was, after all, not a bed of Roselia – where would the drama be in that? His first thought in mind was to look for someone to talk to, to appease and to learn of the many features that the Enclave provided. It was but a moment before the Grumpig's words echoed again in his head, pausing him from beginning his first act for a moment. Wherefore would the presence of a presumably esteemed superior result in the withering of public etiquette? His fervor drooped slightly as he contemplated the Grumpig’s words intuitively; an audience like that certainly wouldn’t prove discerning. Issue after issue sprouted itself before him, leaving him with an entangled set of a puppet’s strings. The world is cruel, but it needn’t be ugly. Alas, it is time I pulled the strings. While he enjoyed a good flow of the plot for research, he returned a few steps into the gate as he called for the Grumpig above the wall. It seemed that his endeavor for a desirable exposition would be difficult. “Enlighten me, my sedentary sentinel.” He inquired, bluntly. “Your aforementioning of the statement of your General’s return. Simply speaking, this isn’t the world the souls outside depict it to be – yet so it seems in a grander scheme of things, it seems the dangerous waters themselves aren’t the only things tainted by corruption. Why? What reason would his return bring to sully the morality of those warmed up within these shelters?”

Eh, it's a minor thing, albeit something I prefer not to see in a setting such as this, but for the sake of the joke it's cool. My apologies. Septhis, while keen, is a guy easily distracted by this whole new stuff and the first thing he wants to do is look for a guy to talk to. He's a loner when it comes to work but his work is to, well, appease people. Of course, he could investigate first, but as an artist at heart, he yearns for attention as much as he yearns to craft stuff. Either one of these can take priority in the end, though, so I'll take your word for that though and have a post ready soon. Thanks.

Not to be nitpicky and anything Stratos, but it triggers me to see "Christ" used as a slang/term in a Pokemon setting...... In any case, since you've sorta assigned your OCs to different characters already, am I to head to one of these sections to meet up with the same OC and the associated player along with it, or am I to be assigned with another one? Septhis is late for the party after all.

Sephtis, attempting to Enter the Gates, Dawn Hours. Excitement welled upon Sephtis as he indulged in the first few steps closing in on the Enclave, his single eye attempting to capture every wonderful sight he expected to be given upon setting foot on the sacred ground. He was a newcomer, in all, every bone in his body inching to explore every nook and cranny of what lied behind the ancient ruins. He knew as much of the place and its residents as they knew him; little, if nothing at all; such was the contrast he searched for, where everything was new, a mystery, disparate and novel all its own. Just a little more, he thought. And the stage will be mine. He strolled towards the rampart made of a quality unknown to him, caressing his chin as if admiring the quality of the work as it towered before him. A shambolic piece of work, but stable. Who had made such a thing? He entertained a few thoughts of the wall’s construct before his attention turned to the guard standing above the wall in patrol. He had already presumed such a promising place was not without strict security. And yet the very sight of discord, of moving people, the scent of moving air and life, all shielded behind that wall, were all enough to pace his heartbeat tenfold. He just had to get in. “Salutations, my fine garrison.” He said, loud enough for the guard above to hear, tilting his head downward with a sly smile plastered upon his lips as he courteously bowed before the figure in introduction. “ ‘Tis indeed such a splendid sanctum established here; far and wide I had travelled in pursuit of what lies beyond the very gates before me. Would you grant a humble actor the permission to enter such a distinguished stage?”

Magnezone gives splash damage in fights, but you'll have to pair it with a Ground type or Protect so as to not damage yourself. You'll have to breed moves on Conkeldurr for it be useful EG Mach Punch/Drain Punch.

At a glance your team is weak to Mega Scizor, particularly the defensive ones, since you have like...nothing to break it with. Meanwhile it can just set up SD on a few mons before sweeping you later. Garchomp isn't a reliable answer. Bulky stuff like Mega Venusaur and Amoongus, to a minor extent, also give you a bit of trouble, and you'll find yourself rather hard pressed dealing with them if you lose Kyurem-B somehow. Garchomp being a tank that's vulnerable to being worn down also means your team also has a chance of being beaten swiftly by an untimely Talonflame setup. For the most part, Heatran settles all of the aforementioned Pokemon above bar some unorthodox moves or something, so try to put that in there. As a decent check to Fairies, with Heatran you're also no longer as bound to use Excadrill as a check (and it does it inferiorly so anyways bar stronger damage output) and can opt for Defog as an option to get rid of hazards for you. I'm not sure what Defogger would actually fit at first glance, though. EDIT: Use Ice Punch or Healing Wish on Mega Loppuny either to target Lando-T/Gliscor or give Azumarill a second chance at life to do its job, or any other teammate for that matter.

How would you describe your writing style? What's your preferred/excelled genre? What do you look for in good writing? What inspired you to take the path of writing as a profession?

Actually, I'd advise against most of your choices if you are to in all seriousness build a competitively based Trick Room team. Establish a primary setter. Pick something relatively bulky that can abuse it and provide additional utility to the team, such as Dusknoir, Cofagrigus, Bronzong, Porygon2 and Gourgeist. These are all relatively tanky Pokemon that can abuse Trick Room and have decent offensive stats and utility to complement their already strong bulk. Aromatisse is a sound choice, but it doesn't have as much bulk or damage output that these Pokemon manage to provide in general. Reuniclus is literally a better Musharna in the aspect that its immune to passive damage courtesy of Magic Guard which more than makes up for the former's slightly inferior bulk, as well as more reliable instantaneous recovery with Recover and stronger damage output. If this enough doesn't tickle your fancy, it also can run Regenerator which is a free 1/3rd max HP healing on switch out. Chandelure is another option for an offensive Trick Room user, but being in an awkward Speed tier means it usually can't benefit from it as well as other allies, with Gallade falling under the same boat. As far as abusers go, Earthquake should be a mandatory choice for a team like this (with Bronzong being the optimal choice in this case or you could breed Protect or run Gourgeist) with abusers like Rhyperior being optimal since you can run them tanky while Trick Room abuses their speed. Conkeldurr, Metagross and Excavalier are other choices to abuse Trick Room with. Hope my advice was helpful.

Expected more detailed/deep answers but I guess I'll get what I get. I only asked four and I can finish this up before bed and a 460. What do you think of the way you write? How would you describe your writing style?

I don't think Skrelp and Crobat are available. Not all of Corey's Pokemon are accessible. There's actually another item you get from one of this Pokemon that leads to a secret and an item in Corey's Gym, though I can't remember it off the top of my head.

Shame that I couldn't spend my 444th post here, but I've added overall plans and revamped a bit of stuff in the few chapters. Chapter 4 is released also.

7/10, girl in profile is nice but I've seen better profile pics on you

Lol everyone's doing it now at this point huh, guess it gives nice opportunities What happened that sparked your love for kawaii lolis? What do you look for in a person/friend? Guess in another way, how am I to you as a friend What gave you the whole idea in establishing LxM? Do you consider yourself in essence a kawaii loli?

What forms of art and music appeal to you? Got any pets? Heard you cooked well, what can you make?

So we're allowed to have a little interacting be it with NPCs or other players before the real stuff starts, right? I might add a post in between.

I like to ask questions so bear with me What are your opinions of love and your personal experiences with them, with apologies if this is a bit sensitive? What's your main form of motivation? What are your favourite forms of classical, non-lyrical songs?

Yaaay What are your favorite pets? Favorite foods and drinks? What's the most significant thing that's happened in your life? When life drags you down, how do you get back up?
