Space - the final frontier... ...the only frontier left... Okay, that might've come off a bit too edgy. Anyways, yeah, welcome to a world where space no longer exists and humans and Pokemon have long abandonded planet Pokearth before it got obliterated by an unseen force like the rest of universe. Nothing exists anymore except the mighty Space Aether Foundation with the technology to create new mini-worlds for humans to inhabit. These mini-worlds are known as Nexuses and they look like spheres from the outside, but when entered they have the sky and water and everything else one might need to survive. Nobody really knows how they're made, but eh, nobody cares. Basically, Nexuses are worlds freely created by the Foundation to serve as a replacement for Pokearth. There's a lot of them, btw, because it's apparently easier to sustain many small ones than one big one. Pokemon are inadvertedly treated as tools in this spacey society, only used by Space Aether Employees. Usually they're placed in any one of the 1,076,999 different containment facilities around the general perimeter of the Space Aether HQ. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a story of a group of young Space Aether Employee Cadets starting off their service to the Foundation. This is a story of trust and friendship and space without space!!! This is... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello hello, and welcome to my lovely little Interest Check thread. My name is Froger and I am here with a tale I want to tell. It is about Pokemon, and space, but not space, and a lot of other stuff thrown all together in a single batch! So how did I come to the idea of hosting an rp? Well, Pokemon Sun & Moon came out and I finished my version of Sun. I don't have to explain it got me back into a pretty Pokemoney mood, right? Oh, but this wasn't just a sudden decision. Nonono, I was actually planning this for a while. So don't worry, I actually put some thought into this. Not to keep you waiting for too long, lemme start preaching my rp idea to you. ***STORY*** This rp is going to be set in a post-apocalyptic universe where all the stars and planets have vanished during what is known as the Great Catastrophe. Of course though, this knowledge has long been lost to the nether-drifting humanity, so you don't know anything about how life used to be. You're used to living in your little Nexus, going to your little Space Aether Academy and now being a happy-go-lucky Space Aether Employee Cadet preparing for your first Space Mission in Anti-Space. Anti-Space is lack of space, duh, because space disappeared. All Nexuses are constantly traveling through Anti-Space and the goal of humanity's journey is to reach the one lone star which still shines in the distant nothingess in hopes of recreating the universe. However, unauthorized Nexuses have begun popping up en route on your journey and it's the Space Aether's job to neutralize them before they start posing a serious threat to the society. I'll reveal more in the OoC. Moving on... ***MECHANICS*** To make things more fair and easier to manage, I'll be involving stats in this roleplay. First off, no, don't worry, battles are not gonna be turn based. You'll be able to freely roleplay your battles. With a couple of restrictions, as I've already said. -> Stats: Important stats in Pokemon are, as well all know: Hit Points, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense and Speed. For the purposes of this rp, it won't be necessary to calculate your Pokemon's stats by level, EVs and IVs. We're only gonna need the Pokemon's Base Stats and level to be able to calculate the stats important for this rp. To illustrate, I'll be taking Arceus as an example (because it's flat 120 across the board). ***Arceus's base stats*** HP - 120 Atk - 120 Def - 120 Sp.Atk - 120 Sp.Def - 120 Spe - 120 Above I've presented Arceus's base stats. In my rp, these stats would only be applicable on a level 0 Arceus. Why? Because I'm gonna be calculating stats by multiplying the base stats with the value of x1.00 + 0.01 per level. So a lvl 1 Arceus is already going to have its base stats multiplied by 1.01, bringing them up by 1, up to 121 across the board. On level 100 our Arceus would have its stats multiplied by 2.00, so basically, they'd be doubled. For every 20 points in either Atk or Sp.Atk, a Pokemon's according attack power raises by 10. For every 20 points in Def or Sp.Def, a Pokemon takes 10 less damage. Max HP is calculated by multiplying base HP by 2.00 after multiplying it with the level value. So a lvl 100 Blissey would have 255 * 2.00 * 3.00 = 1530 HP. Pokemon with higher Speed can both move faster and act quicker in battle. Generally, two Pokemon with Speed stats differing by less than 20 can move equally as fast, but the Speedier Pokemon will still act first in the turn order. Pretty simple, right? Let's see how it applies in battle. -> Battle system/Moves: The turn order refers to the order in which players will be able to post during combat. When initiating combat, the first post is usually going to be you and your opponent throwing your Pokemon out. After combat is initiated, I'll compare the Speeds of all Pokemon involved and post the turn order. More importantly... For the purposes of this demonstration, we'll be taking a look at our dear Arceus again. Battle are going to be freely roleplayed, so you can use your Pokemon's moves however you'd like. Heck, use an offensive move supportivly! Creativity is always welcome. But I am going to be complicating this system to remove any problems with vagueness about how or when or why your opponent's Pokemon is still standing after you've blasted it with a direct Hyper Beam. So let's have a level 100 Arceus use a Hyper Beam. A level 100 Arceus has 240 Sp.Atk and Hyper Beam has a power of 150. For every 20 points of Sp.Atk, Hyper Beam's power goes up by 10. In Arceus's case, it goes up by 120 and then up by *1.50 because of the Same Type Attack Bonus. The final power of Hyper Beam is (150 + 120)*1.5 = 405. Arceus is attacking a lvl 100 Blissey using this Hyper Beam. A Blissey has 135 base Sp.Def, on level 100 it grows up to 270. And it has 1530 HP. For every 20 points in Sp.Def, it is going to take 10 less damage from Arceus's attack if it fails to evade it. Since it has 270 Sp.Def, Hyper Beam is going to do 405 - 130 = 275 damage, bringing it down to 1255/1530 HP. Items which raise stats or attack power work exactly how you'd imagine them to work, so a Silk Scarf-wearing Arceus's Hyper Beam would grow by an additional *1.10 after calcing the final power, upping it to 445, while an Assault Vest Blissey's Sp.Def would go up by *1.50, up to 405. Oh, and all decimal numbers are rounded down. I forgot to mention that. Damage cannot be lowered under 1, so even a lvl 1 Caterpie is gonna be able to damage a lvl 100 Arceus. But only slightly. Another new aspect of battling is going to be clashing moves. Physical moves clash with physical moves and special moves clash with special moves. A move can clash another move if its resulting power is equal to or greater than the opponent's move's resulting power. If it's greater, the move will be able to clash through the opponent's move. Status moves cannot be clashed but can be avoided by smart usage of another move. If a move has a secondary effect, I will randomize whether or not the effect applies. You're gonna have to trust me not to cheat. Why the heck would I even wanna cheat? I'm the god of this world-less world. >:] You'll be able to learn new moves after returning to HQ and talking to one of the NPCs. You'll have the ability to choose any move in your Pokemon's moveset under its current level. So like a Move Relearner, only free. Because Heart Scales don't exist anymore. Rip. Got all of that? Good! I worked really hard to try and implement a battle system into my Pokemon rp. Of course, I'm open to suggestions and/or questions regarding it, because I may have missed a point or two. -> Leveling Pokemon level up by winning battles. I'm still thinking about how to implement this. Maybe say that you need to defeat two Pokemon of a similiar level and same evolution tier to level up, or one Pokemon >10 levels higher than you. Or four Pokemon 5 levels lower than you. Or one Pokemon of a similiar level but higher in an evolution chain. Maybe get two levels out of an evolved Pokemon >10 levels higher than you. Or two levels out of a Pokemon two tiers above you. Generally, Legendaries always fall in a special category. They may not even earn you levels, instead earning you something even better! Yes, I think I'll be going with something like this. I'm very open to suggestion about leveling. -> Dungeon Crawling Have I mentioned Nexuses are going to be this rp's main dungeons and that you're going to be exploring them? No? Whoops~ Well, you are. At the start of a mission I'll be posting up a map of the Nexus Dungeon with a marked goal you need to reach and enemies or wild Pokemon standing in your way. While traversing a dungeon, you'll be able to move to any point of interest within a post, no matter the distance. This will be to minimize the dungeon crawling and make the experience more enjoyable. If an obstacle stand in the way to your point of interest, you're going to be stopped when you reach it and will need to remove it before you can advance. Special Cadet Skills will help you with this. ***MAKING YOUR CHARACTER*** Name: Age: Appearance: Personality: Backstory: Starter: Special Skill: -> Name Knock yourselves out. Future is spiffy. -> Age Anywhere between 11 and 25. Youngest Space Aether Employee Cadets start their cadetship at the age of 11 after finishing the Space Aether Academy. The regular populace usually starts the Academy at age 11 and finishes the 3 grades somewhere at age 17 after failing each year at least once. If you have the money, you can try again until you're 25. If you don't have money, you become a Space Aether Janitor. If you fail after turning 26, you become a Space Aether Janitor. It's simple. -> Appearance Your appearance and out-of-work wardrobe. Because Space Aether has regulations and uniforms. You can choose between a jumpsuit and a regular shirt and pants kind of uniform here for guys and a jumpsuit or shirt + skirt for girls. -> Personality Again, knock yourselves out. Anything goes, pretty much. There's no limit to how much you write in here. -> Backstory You'll be able to write this better when the actual OoC comes up if people show interest and I post stuff about the world. No paragraph limit once again. I won't be accepting your char if you only write one sentence though. -> Starter You've all requested a Pokemon from the Space Aether Foundation when you were given your jobs. This can be any Pokemon which is first in its evolutionary chain. Pokemon that don't evolve can't be requested. You'll be able to catch any Pokemon during Nexus Dungeons and every Nexus Dungeon is going to have its own unique ecosystem and obtainable Pokemon. -> Special Skill You will be able to pick one skill out of a set of skills when making your character. I will be posting these skills in the OoC, because I haven't made them all up yet, but they'll be useful both in and out of battle. Some examples I can give are these: Resourceful | Allows the user to see special points of interest during Dungeon Crawling or during battle. These can turn the tide in your favor if investigated or made proper use of. | Poke-Pro | Once during battle, the user can choose to use this skill to boost a stat of their choosing of their active Pokemon for the duration of the battle. | Ninja | You move first in the turn order unless another character with Ninja has greater Speed than you. | ***Conclusion*** I'm inexperienced at hosting, but I want to try. This is a story I've had in mind for some time now and I want to share it with the world and have the world enjoy being a part of it. Roleplaying is an awesome medium and it's already given me a lot of fun times. What I want in this rp is people doing just that-having fun. I'm already making artworks for NPC, but I still have no clue how to properly draw dungeon maps. I'll try my best, of course. Also, I'm open and will appreciate any help if you see something wrong with my systems, because god knows how many mistakes I tend to make while making up all my ideas. Feel free to ask questions. This is basically just a draft. I'm far from making an actual OoC. Enjoy! Froger out~

[shows interest] I'll let the others ask questions. I'm fine even not knowing, lol. Mostly 'cause I can't ever think of anything to ask anyways, hehe. But I do like the fact there's nothing in Nowhere. And I look forward to just interacting with other PCs if this kicks off. That's basically my favourite part of any rp. So here's hoping for this cray cray nihilistic deepness to become a thing~

"Ooooh, we actually ended up getting to beat him after all, Teri~" Klaren turned to Terrin and smiled before shuffling away into the forest waving at Maya and the rest of the gang. "What're you doing, let's go open the door, Q~! Q? Can you hear me? It's Klaren~ Are you sleeping? I think a battlefield isn't such a good place to have a power nap at, wouldn't you agree~?" Moving to E18 and holding

"Aww, poo-poo!" Klaren's pout turned from soft to comically edgy in moments as he puffed his cheeks and crossed his hands, tangling them up as he tried to look imposing but failed, eventually unfolding them again. He stuck out his tongue at the poopy Soldier before frowning. "I'm not talking to you if you're gonna be this way, hmph!"

"Owieeeee, pretty brutal, Teri~" Klaren clapped as he dusted off a few bits and pieces of the unfortunate Knight that had gotten onto his robe. "Come with me, let's go explode this smaller one now!" Moving to B18, equipping Blessed Iron, attacking the Soldier

"You know...even I'll run out of optimism eventually this way. But for now...yay for Luck~~~" Upping my Judgement subcategory

"I-is this part of the demonstration?" Tessa shouted in panic as the ground shook, but she quickly realized how silly it was of her even to think such a thing. She watched in puzzled horror as everything around them collapsed into a flaming inferno, including the dorms where all of her stuff was. "Noooooo!" She screamed in agony, faced with images of all of her neatly assembled clothing burning away into oblivion. Not to mention her prized rapier. That thing costed money, you know! It had jewelry embedded into it! No, she couldn't get hung back by these thoughts. She had to escape. She had literally 0 chances of victory in this scenario. Her lumen calculated that even with her rapier in hand, she would not be able to contribute AT ALL. So she did what any reasonable student would have done - ran towards the teacher while shouting and flailing her arms in panic, into the tunnel and into safety. "Everyone...I know you keep ignoring me...but ruuuuuuuuuuun!"

Mommo Who was this girl now? Mommo wondered to herself as the comedy unveiled before them, dragging even her attention away from the pathetic self-lamentations she was chanting in the back of her head over the HUNTER. Wait...so was she that guy's replacement? Hmm... Mommo placed a hand on her chin, momentarily forgetting about her body's worldly needs to focus on examining the girl. The girl failed to employ any form of a dangerous presence, but perhaps that was what was so dangerous about her. Mommo would need to pay a lot of attention to the new contestant, especially with how poorly her own performance had been going thus far. "..." Continuing her inquisitive stare-down, Mommo was oblivious to the rather imposingly stretched out snot that had began oozing from her left nostril.

Mommo - wearing only socks on her feeeeeet <!!! The floor was murder on the girl's feet, stinging needless into her very soul. To, at least to some effect, avert these uncomfortable circumstances, young Mommo was forced to tap ever so slightly on her feet, as if dancing. Except the rest of her body was shivering and an apprent look of annoyance was plastered on her face as she held her teeth clenched. However, there was no missing the whole display of affection the god had shown at the HUNTER. And then the HUNTER at the hooded figure. As much as she hated to admit it, the scene helped qualm the freezing temperatures on the outside by setting something warm and gutteral off on the inside. Mommo's teeth clenched harder as she stepped to introduce herself, trying her best to ignore the scene while she knew she was blushing. Hopefully it would be attributed to the cold. "I'm the Slumbering Giant." She said as she gave a light bow and tapped along back to the line.

Aw, shucks, the armored Knight managed to block one of Klar's amazing magic bolts. And he also got healed by a runaway Troubadour. "Mmmmm..." Klaren pouted as he moved sideways like a crab and disappeared into the forest. He noticed an enemy Monk hiding in there as well and gave the guy a thumbs up with a stuck out tongue before taking aim at the Knight. Moving to D18, equipping Lightning, attacking the Knight

Tessa To say that Tessalyva had been taken aback by the sudden appearance of the two Coerators would be an understatement. Her surprise bordered shock and her eyes widened in response to the demonstrations they presented upon them. Words got stuck in her throat. This was unexpected. This was...this was amazing. Well, kind of. More amazing was the fact they were to stay here and help train them. Of course, Tessa already had mastered her Lumen and would have surely mastered anything this little army course had to offer even without their help, but it couldn't hurt to have a couple of the most powerful beings in the world here with them. She cleared her throat and stood up from her seat, hands still firmly gathered in her lap. "Ahem. Excuse me." She shily glanced up at the Orca. The display they'd put up had almost had her topple over her chair when the icicles formed and take cover under her hands when it seemed like they were going to have another cold morning shower. Their presence triggered some response in her and she stuttered, suddenly at a loss. Not that she thought either of them were the one to give her powers, as she had her own theories. It was hard to explain. They were incredibly imposing so she glanced away at the Falcon, but it didn't do much help. Tessa had to settle with closing her eyes instead. It still took her a few moments to gather her composure, though. "I-I...ahem, I am sure I speak for all of us when I say that it would be a great honor, working with legends such as yourselves, Coerators." The girl finished by giving a light bow.

Tessa Right on time, as always, Tessa was firmly seated in one of the front row chairs at exactly 10:30 a.m. She was proud of her punctuality in the face of such disarrayed chaos and the night she would rather forget. She hadn't even picked up on her dormmates...all she could think of was how the organization in this place could be so horrendous. She will most definitely be filing a complaint if this kept up. Someone had to take the matters into their own hands! Anyways, she sat quietly with her arms laid solemnly upon her lap. Her greenish hair was tied in a small bun on her head and she wore a light, white dress which flowed elegantly around her trained form. All she had to do was wait now.

Praised be the system! Ah. Feels good.

Oh, Tessa is so filing a written complaint about this. Mmmmmrg. (then just tell me one of the dorms + who's in it and I'll go with it, can't choose cause can't even follow who's where, gaah)

So no official dorm regulations exist and we just mingled randomly apparently??? Then who was I in the room with..??? aaaaaaaaaaaaggggggghhhhhh

Mommo is reporting for some more shenanigans duty.

Tessa Tessa smirked as she noticed the way the butler was struggling. Good. It made her feel better, just watching him squirm like that beneath her thumb, her almighty iron fist of command. But she was determined to show some courtesy herself and relieve the butler of at least a part of his torture. Because unlike his master, she was a woman of affirmed and clear status. With a swift turn, Tessa rested her hands on her hips and looked straight at Alison. They were near the dorms already, so she could handle the rest herself. She seemed to have regained her calm composure. For now. "You were good." She said, cocking her head to the side as a grin spread across her face. Gently, Tessa placed one of her hands onto her cheek. "Ah, but I was kidding. It would be silly if I'd actually requested that you be constantly 3 and a half paces behind me, would you not agree? Anyways, I can do the rest myself. Except...one thing. Which dorm should I enter..? Tell me and you'll be relinquished. Just bring me my hairpins."

Klaren moved over towards the lone soldier guarding the door. If he wasn't gonna come over to Klaren, then Klaren had to come over to him! Grabbing the blessed tome once more, Klaren readied himself for the attack. "Babum-!" Moving to C18, equipping Blessed Iron, attacking the Knight

"Told ya it was Luck that got me out of that pinch, hehe~"
