Rise of the Rockets Discussion Topic

[Prowl Nightwolf]

Cool. Then I think I am ready to start an opening post. Anything I should know about what is going on in Alamos Town before I post my arrival?

[JiMing]

Basically, three trainers (Jake Harris, Arius Jacobson, Ruth Fishers) were sent to Alamos Town to investigate a power plant failure on a nearby route. At the city, they picked up an additional two trainers (Elijah Brockway and Megan Keita) to aid them, they are now on the side of the titular plant and figuring out how to get in from an open window high up.

 

My suggestion? Have Yugo be walking along that particular route and see the traveling band of trainers, get curious, and go talk to them. Of course, you don't have to follow that formula, if you can come up with something better!

[Prowl Nightwolf]

Ah, cool. I posted already but no reason I can't spot them after one of them posts. Not sure I could really help with getting into a window. I have a charmander, sandslash, and a pidgey. Guess I could break/burn through the wall if needed.

[JiMing]

Just timeskip over to said route at some point, and notice said group talking to each other. And then send him over, he doesn't need to be the catalyst for helping them get through the window, but he'll still be welcomed to the group because the more the merrier! ^^

[Prowl Nightwolf]

So with an issue regarding the power plant it is safe to say the Town is without power?

[JiMing]

No, just a specific location. It's not the WHOLE power plant that's down... Just part of it.

At least, that's how I think of it.

[Prowl Nightwolf]

Well I posted arriving and seeing the group while staying back but I think Airazor is going to attract attention.

[Konuju]

So, continuing from what I did with 2014, I have now backed up every post we made in 2013. You know what that means: statistics for 2013 RotR!
 
We covered 28 pages in the topic on BZP, which translated to 751 pages in my Microsoft Word backup.
 
We wrote a total of 1072 posts, including four buffer posts that salvaged 67 posts that were lost between August and October 2013.

So taking out the buffer posts and adding in the posts included in those buffers, that's a total of 1135 posts, which included roughly 446 OOCs and 1097 ICs. In total, we wrote 278,539 words.
 
Number of posts per person, including the salvaged posts, are as follows:

• Blade: 211 posts (18.59%)
• Alku: 143 posts (12.60%)
• Parugi: 139 posts (12.25%)
• Konuju: 132 posts (11.63%)
• Constructman: 98 posts (8.63%)
• Dralcax: 86 posts (7.58%)
• JiMing: 55 posts (4.85%)
• Detranix: 52 posts (4.58%)
• Minun: 49 posts (4.32%)
• Nara: 47 posts (4.14%)
• Zacax: 34 posts (3.00%)
• Mango: 29 posts (2.56%)
• Sonyaxe: 14 posts (1.23%)
• KNI: 11 posts (0.97%)
• Kaithas: 8 posts (0.70%)

• Cosmic Titan: 2 posts (0.18%)
• Canis: 1 post (0.09%)
• Baltarc: 1 post (0.09%)
• Tornado: 1 post (0.09%)

If you're curious about what the raw post statistics looked like, not counting the salvaged posts, I'll include them in a Spoiler Tag:

Those with a different number of posts than above are highlighted in red.

• Blade: 190 posts (17.72%)
• Alku: 130 posts (12.13%)
• Parugi: 129 posts (12.03%)
• Konuju: 126 posts (11.75%)

• Baltarc: 1 post (0.09%)
• Tornado: 1 post (0.09%)

 

 

 

As for individual character ICs, again I only have a rough estimate of a few characters, due to the wide variety of IC label formats.

 

Evan Tierra: 128 ICs

Ryan Sanders: 91 ICs

Ray Hakuda: 91 ICs

Kyle Eston: 83 ICs

Zach Hikari: 75 ICs

Dack Majors: 71 ICs

Sonja Baron: 57 ICs

Aspen Seaton: 54 ICs

Ellen Burks: 49 ICs

Olivia Seaton: 29 ICs (technically 31)

Dahlia Seaton: 14 ICs (plus two mislabeled ICs that should be Olivia)

 

And that's it for Rise of the Rockets in 2013. Stats for 2012 and 2011 will come once Parugi fixes the formatting in his posts. I swear, if I see another tag I'm gonna lose it. (Also Blade, fixing the formatting in your posts wouldn't hurt either. =P)

[Prowl Nightwolf]

So I am with the starting group at the Power plant near Alomos Town, and I think we are waiting for Megan to post as well as the others.

[Flipz]

Posting pre-emptively for approval--this will be caught by Amelia at some point (still working it out):

 

Species: Murkrow
Nickname: Crowe
Gender: Female
Trainer: Amelia Zann
Appearance: Carries its shiny coloration, though the violet is dark enough that it's often mistaken for black.
Personality: Though prideful and mischevious like most Murkrow, this particular one prefers the company of wild Pokémon to that of trained Pokémon and humans--with a few very specific suggestions.  Especially distrusts scientists.  Is also very Careful.
Ability: Prankster
Speciality: Exceptionally skilled with use of Drill Peck, despite its overall lack of experience.  Its signature move.
Known Moves: Tailwind, Torment, Mean Look, Taunt, Roost (egg move), Drill Peck (egg move)

 

And yes, this is the one Adam and Pippi battled all the way back here.

Edited January 27, 2015 by Flipz

[Parugi]

Looks good. And presumably the same reason for the Shinyness of Amelia's other 'mons also applies to this? : P

[Flipz]

Precisely. ;-)

 

EDIT:  Summarizing some stuff from the chat tonight (last night probably by the time anyone reads this ):

*Groudon in Sootopolis was approx. 3-5 days after the Celadon Department Store

*Havok occurred immediately after Celadon Department Store (Final Rockets went from Celadon to Havok)

*The fallout from Groudon in Sootopolis is approximately synchronized with current events in Celadon; this is the "zone" of time we've dubbed "Ellen Time"

*"Ellen Time" is about a week (give or take) ahead of most of the rest of the game.

 

Please feel free to correct me if (when?) I am horribly, horribly wrong.

Edited January 28, 2015 by Flipz

[Prowl Nightwolf]

I am seriously confused on what you just said but seeing as how I am not in any of those areas maybe that is why,

[Parugi]

*Havok occurred immediately after Celadon Department Store (Final Rockets went from Celadon to Havok)

This is only true OOCly speaking. In-game there was a short period of time between the two--i.e. a few days or so.

[Blessed Blade]

*Havok occurred immediately after Celadon Department Store (Final Rockets went from Celadon to Havok)

They went from Celadon to one of the two Rocket bases in the main regions; then went to Havoc after Joker recruited them for that. =P

 

/EDIT:

 

Nickname: Kamé/Kammy

Species: Wartortle

Trainer: Colette

Gender: Female

Appearance: Kammy has two darker stripes going across her head and down the back of her neck, two stripes around her eyes, and darker swirly patterns on her shell, but is otherwise normal.

Since her evolution, the stripes around her eyes have grown thicker and curved down slightly, and the stripes on her head extend down further. The swirly patterns are also a bit more extensive.

Personality: Kammy is upbeat, and a reflection of her trainer; however, without as much of the reluctance to trust people, since she isn't able to read auras like Colette can.

Her personality hasn't changed since her evolution; however, she seems more confident as a result of it.

Ability: Torrent

Specialty: Special Attack++

Known Moves: Imperfect Dragon Pulse (EGG), Imperfect Aura Sphere (EGG), Water Pulse, Bite.

[Konuju]

Using one of my reward points to say that Jayron's Snivy evolved at some point way back when. Likely when it was training at the Alamo with his Weavile, as the wiki said it was doing.
 
Nickname: none
Species: Servine
Trainer: Jayron Aaron
Gender: Female
Appearance: Remains quite small for its species.
Personality: Servine has undergone extensive training with Scythe, Jayron's Weavile. As such, she has developed a somewhat serious take on battling, but remains friendly and energetic outside of battle.
Ability: Contrary
Specialty: Increased Special Attack
Known Moves: Leaf Tornado Leaf Storm, Leech Seed, Mirror Coat (egg move), Twister (egg move), Mega Drain, Wring Out

Added Mega Drain and Wring Out, replaced Leaf Tornado with Leaf Storm.

[Prowl Nightwolf]

So where is the Power Plant crew? I haven't seen anyone post for there in a while...

[JiMing]

Wasn't sure if anyone else in the group wanted to make a post.

I see that no one else does, so I'm gonna write a Ruth IC in this next post....

[Makuta of Time]

Konuju, I'm currently waiting on our situation with George and Dandy with the Rhydon. My last post was on February 02, 2015 at 2:00 a.m. on page 172 of the main topic. I would link the actual post, but my phone is being a pain to work with when it comes to copying and pasting.

[Konuju]

Not sure how I missed that. I remember reading that post at the time, I must've just forgotten to respond. Sorry about that, I'll get a response up tonight.

[Makuta of Time]

No problem buddy. I missed some your posts a bit sometimes.

[Prowl Nightwolf]

Thank you very nice. I was starting to think I killed the area with my building a dirt ramp idea.

Out of curiosity, where do you get the Pokéball icons you use in your signature and posts? It'd be really cool if we could use them on the wiki, I might even be able to alter our Pokémon Profile template to include them as an option.

[Prowl Nightwolf]

I pulled them from Serebii.net 's Pokeball ItemDex page. They in turn either created them themselves or most likely pulled them from the actual game files.

[Flipz]

Sweet, thanks for the link! I'll see about getting a field for these added to the Pokémon Profiles template as soon as I can.

 

Also, is Konuju a ghost? Because the wiki thinks he's a ghost.

 

EDIT: some of my characters overall voices and personalities have changed a lot since I first thought them up (particularly Alex, though I can definitely identify the source of his change ). Has this happened to anyone else? Any characters of yours change between concept and execution?

Edited February 14, 2015 by Flipz

[Blessed Blade]

Personalities are ever changing, really. =P Lucia's still isn't totally decided yet either, as she's more reactionary.

 

Voices, though... Yes, Zach's is ever changing as I try to figure out which is best.

[Konuju]

Character concepts aren't set in stone. They're more like... guidelines.
 
Perhaps the most obvious change for me would be Dack. His original concept was simply to create a Rocket character who supported Team Rocket just as much as Ryan supported Team Liberty. This was prompted by the fact that there were a ton more Liberty characters than Rocket characters, and many of the Rocket characters at the time were a lot more antagonistic, leaving Team Rocket as the generally assumed 'evil' team. However, his character ended up being little more than "Team Liberty caused the avalanche that buried my home and killed my parents, so now I hate them." It wasn't until BZP went down for six months that I finally got around to writing his backstory, to explore how he had gotten to that point. And that's definitely changed things for the better.
 
On a similar note, Luke and Madison have developed far more than I ever anticipated. Madison especially. She went from stereotypical love interest (and damsel in distress during the Darkrai Arc) to Dack's voice of reason. I can definitely see where I got that influence; suffice it to say I am so glad I waited until I had read Lloyd Alexander's books before developing Madison's character.
 
Ellen I always knew would have some disillusionment as she traveled with those involved in the war. What I didn't foresee was her father becoming his own character. That was the result of an "oh, snap" moment when I realized that the Unova group was gonna go by Ellen's home... and she was only supposed to stick with the group until she got home for Christmas. What was originally just suppose to be a story about childhood innocence ended up becoming a story about family. Even Ellen's team functions like a family. Or dysfunctions, in the case of Chrono. =P
 
I'm not sure if I can truly say that Zoe's changed between concept and execution, because she was just sorta dumped on me after Colette was made. But she's definitely the character I planned the least for, save for maybe Madison and Luke, and yet she's already turned out phenomenal. My biggest fear I think was that she'd just end up Ellen 2.0, and while they do have some similarities, their characters couldn't be more different. Ironically enough, before I read the Westmark Trilogy, I compared Ellen to Taran, the main character of the Chronicles of Prydain, who in the fourth book goes on a personal journey that partly inspired Ellen's current journey. But now that I look at it, Ellen is more like Westmark's Theo, an innocent child thrust into a world of corruption and, later, war. And Taran, the lowly Assistant Pig-Keeper who wanted to become a grand warrior, is comparable to Zoe, who dreams of being the aura master her sister is (or, more recently, a warrior princess).

 

I suppose it goes to show that people can evolve just like Pokémon. It's a fine line between developing a character the way you want and allowing them to grow on their own. But it's always rewarding to look back and see just how far your characters have come.

[Prowl Nightwolf]

So... Prowl done went to the RotR Wiki page and was wanting to know if he should/could make a page for his trainer and respective current Pokémon? Also how would one go about doing that as we have never actually edited a wiki page, let alone created one from scratch...

[Flipz]

So... Prowl done went to the RotR Wiki page and was wanting to know if he should/could make a page for his trainer and respective current Pokémon? Also how would one go about doing that as we have never actually edited a wiki page, let alone created one from scratch...

Well, first of all, you'll want to make a Wikia account so you can keep track of your edits and make use of other features (if you don't have one already). Next, try editing one of the simpler Trainer pages (like the ones for my characters) without saving your changes, so you can see how it's put together (use the preview button so you can see your changes without saving the page).

 

Are we allowed to post videos here? I made a guide to the Pokémon profile template a while back, which should still apply even after the layout changes. With regard to wiki text and links and the like, there's an excellent guide here.

 

One last tip: if you want to use the spiffy infoboxes like a lot of us use, use Template :Infobox Trainer instead of the default character infobox; ours is both simplified and modified for RotR use.

 

If you need more advice, feel free to hit me up on the wiki chat, I'm usually online in the afternoon and evening of Pacific Standard Time.

Ah the Western shoreline... I'm Waaaaaaaay over near the Eastern one... Thanks for the help... I'll pop back over there and see what I can work on based on this info.

[Flipz]

Question about Beat Up: in RotR, would it only summon the Trainer's full team, or would it just make all the allied Pokémon on the field attack the target? Just curious, since massive amounts of Pokémon on the field could be a thing in Celadon.

[Parugi]

I personally would envision it as some sort of phantom attack--i.e. not actually using allied Pokémon to inflict damage--but it's really up for interpretation, like most moves.

 

In regards to the character voice question you brought up a few days ago--pretty much every character that I have is extremely different now than when I first came up with them, even the most recent ones like Victoire and Levi. I've found that with pretty much any creative endeavor the reality of what you create is never going to be what you imagine it to be, no matter how hard you try to make it so, and as Blade said there's always that element of change that occurs the more you utilize a concept.

[-Windrider-]

 

Are we allowed to post videos here?

 

 

Of course!

[Parugi]

So Blade found a recap:

 

Starting from the very top, the leaders of Team Liberty/TL (Goldhawk, Blackskull and Bluefalcon) gathered the majority of their agents into the auditorium of their main base, the Alamo, on Four Island, to discuss the new direction they would be taking in the war against Team Rocket/TR. The plan was essentially for agents to go out and recruit Legendary Pokémon, Gym Leaders and famous people (such as the game/manga/anime heroes) to their cause. TR had similar ideas and sent their own agents out to do the same thing.

After a short time of this (roughly a month in-game time) both sides had managed to gather enormous power. However, this was minimized by the arrival of two new players in the war. One was a group called the Searchers, who were basically a shadow organization who produced new and advanced technology, some of which to be sold to TR and the majority to be used for their own purposes; they were led by a man going by the codename Searcher. The other was a terrorist going by the name of the Shadowed Man/John Ford, who, despite seeming to be allied with TR, had continuously attempted to pick off members of both sides. Ford managed to obtain the location of the Sevii Islands, where TL was operating from, and gave this to Sleight, the primary leader of TR. Sleight ordered Joker, another leader of TR, to use this information to launch a large scale attack on the Four Islands; bounty, the third of TR's four main leaders, caught wind of this during a battle with Blackskull and headed to Four Island himself.

TR quickly set out on their mission, bringing a large force with them. As Goldhawk had left for Orre prior to this to look for a Raikou in Orre, Bluefalcon was left in sole command of Four Island, and quickly rallied TL's defenses. Soon after the battle started on the beach of Four Island, resulting in what seemed to be a stalemate; however, TL soon became overwhelmed and was pushed back. At the same time, Silvermind, a TL executive, gave a rebellion order in Hoenn, seeing the lower amount of TR forces there as an opportunity to take the region. The rebellion was successful and TR was almost completely pushed from the region. She then began issuing orders at 4 Island, and managed to even the odds using specially bred Pokémon teams. However, two events caused TL to be thrown into disarray once more. One was the bombing of the Alamo's control center by TR, which killed Green, one of TL's executives, and left Bluefalcon injured. The second event was the arrival of a massive TR airship, which caused general panic and such, though was eventually taken down by Registeel.

Blackskull and Bounty soon arrived on the island, and Bounty, along with a TR Elite managed to infiltrate the base. Bounty was attacked by a TL agent controlling Registeel and was successfully held off until the attack ended, though the TR Elite, Jessica, managed to make her way into the Alamo's server room, which contained all of TL's data on virtually everything.
Cutting form that really quickly, Bluefalcon was rescued by a TL agent in the ruins of the control center. Joker soon arrived, followed by Blackskull; however, Bluefalcon was teleported away by a Rocket defectee soon after, and an assassin hired by Ford attempted to kill Joker and Blackskull, managing to shoot Joker in the stomach, though neither was killed. Joker issued a retreat soon after, and was carried away by her escorts. Meanwhile, Bluefalcon caught wind of Jessica's presence in the server room and attempted to stop her squad, though she was overwhelmed by the combined forces of her opponents. Ford then caused the computers in the server room to explode, forcing Blackskull to watch; the resulting explosion nearly wiped out TL's database, injured many of the elite TR agents present, and killed Bluefalcon. TR thenr etreated from the island, badly beaten, though managing to leave TL standing on virtually one leg.

Blackskull then set his agents to work repairing the Alamo, and promoted Silvermind as Bluefalcon's replacement. Silvermind's first act of leadership was to lead a group of agents to TR's master facility in Hoenn to attempt to remove TR's last remnants of their reign there. (Will continue this further down, once I explain more stuff.)

Speaking of TR being removed from Hoenn -- Sleight had Ace, TR's fourth and final leader, arrested and demoted for her inability to keep Hoenn under her/TR's control. She was brought to Orre, where a trap was set in which Goldhawk picked her up and brought her to Team Cipher's old base. As part of the plan, Buzz, a TR executive, was ordered to assassinate them once they met up. Ford made sure that Goldhawk and Ace would be trapped in the base by locking them in the prison section, though Goldhawk's Electivire was able to free them. They attempted to flee from the base, though ran into Buzz on their way out, and in the following fight Ace was killed. Goldhawk was locked into a room, which began to be filled with tear gas that would have killed him, were it not for the timely arrival of the Orre Raikou, who freed him and, in an act of rage, killed one of Buzz's Yanma. Goldhawk allowed Buzz to leave, though not without a warning, stating that he would not be so merciful next time. Goldhawk returned to the Alamo, bringing Ace's body to be buried on 4 Island and without the Orre Raikou.

For his success in killing Ace, albeit without Goldhawk, Buzz was promoted to Shadow Admin of Hoenn and given control of TR's master facility there. His first challenge was securing the base against Silvermind's elimination attempt. The new TL leader led a large team to the base, including the Gym Leaders Koga, Surge and Sabrina, who had arrived just before Silvermind left, though were met with much suspicion. They managed to get to the master facility and break in, though their attempt to eliminate TR there failed when the three GLs betrayed them. The result was Silvermind being captured and the other TL agents being brought back to 4 Island.

As this was going on, Goldhawk had returned to 4 Island with the news about Ace, and was in turn given the news about TR's attack and the death of Bluefalcon. He was not given much time to grieve, though, as Ford attacked the Alamo himself shortly after. Blackskull and Goldhawk arrived to fight him, and were barely able to beat him back. Eventually they seemed to succeed; however, he escaped, and used his Darkrai to tear a hole in dimensional space. Blackskull was sucked in and presumably killed, though this has not been confirmed. Goldhawk was rescued from the rubble soon after, and seemed to be in shock when he was told of Silvermind's situation, though after several hours he recovered.

Scott Stone, a TL agent, soon approached him with a possible rescue for Silvermind in the form of a drilling company called Soil Colossus. Though a shady organization, Goldhawk lacked the resources to carry out a rescue himself, and reluctantly agreed to the proposal. A second attack was launched on the Hoenn master facility, this time led by Carl Sandrock, SC's leader. The battle lasted for quite awhile, though they eventually were able to nab Silvermind; however, Carl betrayed them and took Silvermind to SC's base. He offered her up to both TR and TL, in exchange for a certain Manaphy found in Isshu. joker immediately agreed to the deal and began to put a team together, while Goldhawk was eventually convinced; however, he made sure to let Scott know that should the mission fail, TL may very well fall with it, and that would effectively be Scott's doing. Both the TR and TL teams met one of Carl's representatives in Rustboro, and took a plane to Isshu, where they have just arrived.

That's TL's side; unfortunately there's a lot more.

Following the incident with Ace in Orre, another TR executive named Shade concocted a plan to capture the dragon trio of Sinnoh, who seemed to be weakening. At the same time, a mysterious man named Sombra visited him and increased Shade's natural shadow powers (explained later.) Sombra then began going around and located nine Darkrai, speaking of the return of "Master" and having them use their special Spacial Rend attacks to create small dimensional holes, weakening the restrictions on their master (also explained later.) Team Galactic was also enlisted for help by Evan, Seth and Kinali, who were the dragon's chosen saviors, though it was found that TG planned to exploit the dragons' powers, and as such were temporarily beaten down by the trainers.

After a series of smaller events, Shade gathered a force of TR agents at Spiral Tower, and summoned the dragons, who he captured with three Master Balls. The dragons battled with the three trainers and were eventually saved when Shade was betrayed by a girl named Bria, who he had brainwashed and lied to. The dragons, though not entirely healed, were freed, and the Rocket agents were arrested by Searcher agents. During this battle, it was also revealed that Shade was Seth's future son, who had accidentally been sent back in time and corrupted when, in the future, he had gone to check on the three dragons. Shade is currently being held captive in Chapel, Sleight's master facility.

Tensions between Sleight and Bounty have also been rising as of late, as Sleight wishes to begin operations in Isshu and Bounty does not. This has not been explored all that much.

A TR agent named Quinn also released a large number of Unown into the skies of Johto at one point. This will be explained more soon.

Finally, a fourth sub group was inadvertently created by a TL agent named Cyan. He was formerly part of a resistance group that was crushed by TR prior to the RPG; however, he still had all of that team's data. Cyan got into contact with other survivors form that group and used the data to continue their project. They managed to create a large number of Porygon that could absorb power from Legendary Pokémon, testing this with samples taken from the Unown. While testing the absorption capabilities on a Mew he had befriended, the others betrayed him, implying that they intended to use the technology for other uses. Cyan narrowly escaped with Mew, though the others continued the project and created a faction agaisnt both TR and TL, Team Energon.

While all of these groups were busy with their own devices, Ford had plans of his own. Changing his game, Ford concluded that the only way to bring peace to the world was by eliminating both the current government/TR and its opposition/TL. To do this, he needed the other three sub-factions, Teams Energon and Galactic and the Searchers. Ford sent three of his own agents out: James Pierce would negotiate an alliance with Team Energon, Maddison Hayes would ally Team Galactic with them, and Quincy Adams would find a lone Team Rocket agent and use their influence over the Unown to seal the swarm of Symbol Pokémon back in their own dimension. Ford would talk with the Searchers himself and get them to ally with him and the others.

Negotiations went smoothly, and all three sub-factions were reeled in with the promise of control over one of the three regions they would take over. Ford divulged his plan to them, stating that they would launch an attack on Four Island using their various resources: Team Energon would drain power from Mewtwo, while energy taken by the Searchers from Arceus when he briefly appeared at Spear Tower would be used in conjunction with their Legendaries, temporarily giving them a power boost; meanwhile, modified Red Chains from TG would be used to prolong the effects of the Arceus energy. Currently, they are preparing, and the plan is for them to launch their attack on 4 Island once the Soil Colossus mission ends.

 

[Blessed Blade]

Nickname: Hozukimaru

Species: Samurott

Trainer: Ray Hakuda

Gender: Male

Appearance: The only difference is that the shell has a pointed tip to act better at stabbing than normal. The shell's also become slightly larger, more like a sword now, though still with the spear-like qualities. This has become more obvious with the evolution, though Hozukimaru uses the spear on his head from time to time as well.

Personality: Hozukimaru never gives up. Literally. If he gets into a battle, especially one he likes, he stays in there for the whole fight; he even fights to attempt to get out if he gets out before the fight's suitably over. He's also rather short tempered, and picks fights for little or no reason. His evolution has not helped this at all. His final evolution has cooled the Samurott off a bit, but he still never gives up, and even fights on the wild side from time to time.

Ability: Torrent

Specialty: Attack +++

Known Moves: Razor Shell, Night Slash(Egg Move), Retaliate, Aqua Jet, Air Slash(Egg Move), Swords Dance.

 

Nickname: Myriam

Species: Mienshao

Trainer: Colette

Gender: Female

Appearance: Has a triangle on her chest and right arm. Upon evolution, a third has appeared on her left arm as well.

Personality: Myriam is rather serious, and likes to focus on combat, taking the nature of a fight seriously, even for training battles. However, she will never go overboard and continue a fight when it's finished. Her evolution, especially under the conditions they were in, has not helped that; though she seems to be slightly more laid back when outside of battle.

Ability: Reckless

Specialty: Special Attack+, Attack +

Known Moves: Aura Sphere, Quick Guard, Jump Kick, Calm Mind, Fake Out, Detect

Well finally getting around to posting this whole little profile.

 

Species: Celebi
Partnered Trainer: James Arthur
Gender: Female?
Appearance: A legend, a god, or something like that. I would say looks like a standard Celebi, but that would imply such a thing as a "standard Celebi". So I'll say Celebi fits the archetypal description of Celebi.
Personality: Likes to act mischeavious and aloof towards her job and the war, and speaks with a girl's voice. This is all likely a facade, as in actuality, Celebi takes her job and the war very seriously. Preference for being in forests.
Ability: Natural Cure
Specialty: Special Attacks are Celebi's main focus, also adept at healing herself. Also has the power to warp Space/Time to warp, but generaly unwilling to use this power.
Known Moves: Nasty Plot, Perish Song, Recover, Giga Drain, Psychic, Earth Power

Oh, there is a Celebi getting involved in the plot now?

There's been one since my very first 'plot' around day one of the RP.... I just haven't done much of anything with her, except one awesome post... very recently. Time to change that.

So I apparently do sprites now. I'll try animating Amelia's sprite sometime tomorrow (today?) or the day after, but for now, have a heavily expanded wiki page!

 

EDIT: ...not sure why that came out so big, but I guess it's okay.
