What I want most out of life is people to quit bitching at how I, or anyone else for that matter, lives their life without it affecting them adversely.

If Pokemon has taught me ANYTHING at all, it's that you can hate the player AND the game equally and get away with it.

Well shit man. A lot of us know those feelings about home and the turbulence people put us through. I'd read about cooking and Yugioh if you didn't mind posting about themm

Well looks like the Staff now needs to pull out their whips and start cracking on the new guys.

Hey Temero. Since you're new here. I'm gonna be needing this. *Takes sanity* Yep you won't be needing that around here. I am Darv, or the Trash Man. It don't matter, but enjoy yourself here bud.

Hello there mate. You'll need to leave one thing behind first. *Takes his sanity* Ok now that's out of the way. The name's Darv, or the Trash Man, and enjoy your time here

Man there is a lot of untapped lore I have yet to delve into. I've dreamed this one up over the past week or so and finally settled on the balance. I may have a proper OOC up by Monday if I see a decent number of people interested.

To answer all your questions. 1. One character is what I'm working with right now. Two might be a thing, but it will probably stay at one to keep it simplistic. I will accept new characters if your current one is killed off. Legendaries will most likely only be allowed on a first come, first serve basis, although I am on the fence about legendaries because of potential powerplaying. You can play as any evolutionary line as you please and evolve as you equally please with given conditions. 2. There will be "classes" if you will. You can be any of the following - Nalin Conscripted Soldier/Bounty Hunter/Mercenary (These will all be respected in the same regard) - Nalin Military Officer (Any rank, regardless) - Senator/Advisor/Enforcer (All different politicians. Senators are the actual "governors", advisors are those who digress in their fields of politics, and enforcers are glorified policemen) - Plebians (The class referred to as "other" jobs like blue-collars or merchants) - Other (Special cases, like children) Expertise in what "class" of occupation your character resides in. 3. In terms of battling, type advantage and experience will mean everything. There are no TMs or HMs in this world, although "Move Tutors" will be accepted as feasible in this world. Strength will be determined like real-world cross referencing. Experience and background will mean everything with strength. Luck and probability will be another (like David and Goliaths would happen but uncommonly at most). Pokemon don't "forget" moves unless they practice them, and they learn techniques through experimentation with their "learning capacity". In terms of moves, I'll say no limits, but techniques is a whole 'nother matter. Battling will be sorted out through conflicting parties in PMs and either I or one of the parties will post the results. 4. The biggest confliction I will center around is two different mechanics. The first is your alignment to one of the three political factions of the government, and access to "Primal Desolation". For those who played Battlegrounds and remember the deal with the Lucario, think of Primal Desolation as a Dark Mega Evolution. There are 3 factions to the government of Nalin. To sum them up briefly The Empiricals - The warmongering expansionists who believe in sacrifice for safety of the masses. (Empire) The Nostrings - The hands-off faction that prefers a laissez-faire form of government, instead letting the people rule. (No Strings Attached) The Paragons - The peace-loving civil rights advocators who prefer a closer to home approach on governing and happiness of the whole. (Perfection) The PC's will have to side with any of those three factions, or even none at all, to help add to their backstory and maybe reasons why they react how they do. 5. The age of PCs will be limitless withing reasonable doubt. I won't allow anyone to play a toddler or really young child. Legendaries die here, but are reincarnated in other entities. Everyone can die.

Banned for an unsatisfactory reason to ban someone.

Well I'm still trying to get my foot in the door on this whole RP hosting business and I had a wicked idea that popped up in my mind, inspired by TyrannX's old Pokemon Battlegrounds RP. But...the general idea is a self-governing republic of Pokemon. It's still just an idea, but I'd appreciate feedback. -------------------------------------- For countless years, the great Pokemon creatures of the Kingdoms of Old, believed they were safe under the hands of caring rulers, who made up their minds for them, with the best interests of the people in mind. However, the interests changed, rulers themselves corrupt, all with their own visions of a peaceful and prosperous world for the greater good, regardless of the cost, whether it be the lives of the mothers and fathers, or the resources of the coffers, it didn't matter. No price for peace was too great. The time advanced, the technology advanced, the people and philosophies advanced. Only the fiercest of tyrants and monarchs remained, lording over their people in both fear and respect for their bravery. The names and legends of tyrants and heroes rose and fell for years without second thought to where time felt meaningless and each new kingdom or empire was subject to the satire of inevitable failure. Finally after centuries, if not millenia of this decrepit oppression of the people, they finally revolted on their tyrannous masters. Unavoidable bloodshed ensued as every tyrant and monarch was recklessly tossed away from the throne.Out of the smoldering ashes of once scattered dominions, came a collective set of visionaries, representatives, and the unwashed masses. Everyone had a different set of goals in mind, as well as progressive thoughts and the will to compromise. With the general agreement of the Old Kingdoms, they pacted a Declaration. A Declaration of government with the people spearheading the affairs, and everyone's thoughts and opinions carried lofty metaphorical weight in policymaking. Henceforth, the organized Declaration proclaimed a new land. A grandiose republic. The Republic of Nalin. While many of different territories agree and disagree on the musings of the Republic, collectively everyone is accounted for in one way or another. The Republic has stood sturdy for nearly 200 years, and shows no visible cracks on the governmental structure. Although as the old saying goes, "Times change", and a silent malevolence has swept over Nalin. The Pokemon speak of horrid atrocities hat shouldn't even walk the very earth. They speak of transformations that corrupt the soul and warp the mind. Something that not even a stable government could deal with without the hearts and minds of the people. But henceforth Nalin shall prevail!

None really. Casual or semi-casual fits best for me. The doctor gave you the news and said you had a bad case of what? (500 rupees for real if you get the reference)

Usually Chrome, otherwise Internet Explorer. Boys, Girls, Hermaphrodites, or something off the wall in between?

As long as they aren't near me, why not. Do you have a fetish or kink?

Phoenix mah boy. Game of Thrones is so overrated amiright?

Hey even if people stop caring for you in your life, don't forget you have a damn-near cult of personality on here that loves you as the creator of our game. Perhaps we shouldn't mindlessly shunt you aside and actually stop to thank you for a gift you've given us. Both a game and a respectable community of young men and women and non-binaries of all different backgrounds. Don't think of suicide, think of the people who appreciate you. If your family and the world doesn't, remember there's at least 15000 of us on this forum who have. Edit: As much as I hate to add on, birthdays aren't by any means terrible. Seven billion of the things? Heh, nobody really cares enough to monitor every last one of them. Birthdays are a herald first of your survival, then a coming of age, and eventually a mark of your wisdom and experience until you eventually die.

No. This is an independent project. SoA is Stratos' undertaking and in NO WAY similar to Battlegrounds. I said I WOULD DO MY OWN INDEPENDENT SPIN-OFF PROJECT most likely, if that answers your question. EDIT: Sorry about that. I'm a little wound up too much. I'll stop talking about that project and save it for my own interest check.

As Omega said. Time and time again, timing is of the essence, and now it's not the best since V6 for Rejuv just came out and most people are on summer vaycay. I'm mildly interested in this, but ultimately my priorities in the Roleplaying department will fall to Sins of Avalon, and my own spin-off of Tyrann's Battlegrounds promptly named: "Pokemon Ascension: Second Sons" when I get around to writing it up. Keep on trying. You'll bound to attract someone at the very least.

Who on Earth is that?/5

Y'know when I was reading it over again, I got hit by a gnarly wave of de ja vu. Aforementioned Gengar was actually the Gengar I was tasked writing with on Battlegrounds. I kind of miss that RP. Thinking about doing a re-roll. I'll polish it till it shines like a Mirror Shot.

Man Chim. Felix tried to actually protect Joey from Johanna for his own good, but as you prolly saw, some stuff was definitely said. That episode reminded me of the hell-raising Gengar from Battlegrounds for those who may remember.
