A Joltik is a very unique pick. While I want to keep interactions with humans low or non-existent, I think one character having had exposure does bring a somewhat unique dynamic. Namely, I can imagine Stella bringing up her past and no one believing a word. She'd chirp on about humans and others would nod their heads solemnly, grieving what trauma this bug must have gone through to create such an imaginative tale xD
True, she rarely bring up her past but she does compares a lot of stuff in the island with what she had back then. She also has zero survival skill because of her upbringing.
 
Can't go wrong with a happy Doggo :D
Glad he's all good was worried my backstory and etc were too short with how long some of the others were ^^
 
Dis is true. I enjoy you providing some perspective in regards to how their typing/culture might shape their beliefs. I didn't intend to poke fun at anyone or anything—the cliches are popular for a reason. Many people can relate to them due to their own personal experiences. And they're just plain fun to write!! 👀
They really are helps with motivation and backstory and keeps thing concise also I added the Venipede incident to throw in a hook

I love Yamp for being Yamp, a corgi!!! I hope it's not creepy to say but the fact that your pfp is a corgi adds to the cuteness! (The corgi in your pfp has a very boopable snoot I feel!)

I have IRL corgi's, it's what has me loving Yamp so much and wanting to play one :D
The one in my avatar was my Girl Honey (my first) Lost her over a year ago now
I have her great granddaughter right now, and she's my service dog though :D
 
Oh I was thinking you must have corgi irl as well! Yamper and Corgi are both gifts to the world <3
Sending blessings to your angels <3
I think you are new to the site right? Welcome! I am finally back after a few year long hiatus as well. I hope you have a lot of fun around!

Slick, Castle, and Vexer could be a fun team! I was thinking about waiting for an ice type to put Castle with because it could lead to some funny shenanigans. But seeing that likely won't happen, this team would have a fun dynamic. The relative hard-headedness of the trio will lead them into a lot of trouble.

And for our second team: Stella, Mauve, and Momo. Mauve might be able to temper some of Stella and Momo's more brasher sides, sort of like the guiding hand of that potential trope. Or at the least,,, teach them how to get into sordid antics the right way.

Our final team is still waiting for a member to complete their profile. It includes Yamp, Clara, and a mysterious third party. They're a pre-arranged team, and I am very curious to see what their dynamic ends up being.

As for the remaining explorers, I believe we will have enough to construct a fourth team. But if not? I don't mind dispersing the few stragglers - with one or two of the teams having an additional member ^^

there is no way I rolled a 10 on teams right now, WHAT
I was actually betting on those

You guessed all of those already? : O
There's still time to move things around lols, certainly not set in stone - just my personal suggestions. And after they are decided, we will have to move onto team names xD

team names would be a struggle
 
Interesting potential dynamics for teams!

Won't ramble about Mauve & team dynamics yet bc it's not set in stone, but looking forward to seeing who she ends up with!

Also looking forward to team names! I see Mauve wanting something tough yet spirited, so working smth out will not doubt be silly

nice nice though recklessness and no brain cells might be bad for the teams health
 
I hope even among different teams the groups get to interact a lot!!! There are too much combi & permutations for interactions so I kept a lot of mental notes before!

Slick's personality is really very refreshing, I really like him for being an optimist, but a problem solver at the same time! It's a very weird comparison but his cool, problem-solver attitude, reminded me a bit of the protag of 'the apothecary diaries', except for being an optimist instead of a complete realist. And Vexer I think will adds to the head first recklessness of the whole team, which might be a bit stressful yeah, I imagine they will often bite off more than they can chew! I think Castle is dominantly a 'heart' Pokemon instead of a 'head' and 'body' Pokemon, so he might be able to balance things out a bit.

As for ice type shenanigans, Castle actually WILL admire Mauve a lot (even though she is not quite an ice type, but a close relative)! Castle will warm up to Mae immediately (they are both Hisuian, they have histories with Auroradrift, growing up on the 'wrong' isle). The most interesting 'polar opposite' for them is their irrational fear, I am very excited to see how Castle can help Mae to realize the cold and the snow is not that scary!!! I think Mae will be a very effective bad influence on Castle, use your power over him wisely! (I imagine Castle will cheer Mae on or even help Mae in her shenanigans without ever questioning her!!!).

Stop this is too cute-

Castle is so lil bro coded that if he and Mae do meet, she'd love him to bits. He's so sweet, someone could take advantage of that loving trust (anyone whose mean to him will find their house egged. But instead of eggs probably just nasty smelly berries)

And since he likes ice, she'd definitely be down to introducing him to her ice using cousins. I fear he may accidentally get adopted by them. Imagining one of them slipping their number into his fur like 'If anyone gives you trouble, call me'

asdfghkhkl that's too adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭
[okay....breath! Side note, I think he will have every reason to like Mae as much as he likes other ice type Pokemon like Mae's cousins, because besides the physical feeling of it, it's always more about associations, what ice and snow reminded him of (his home, and his father). I think this 'association talk' might become important for Castle to share to Mae eventually, when he feels particularly determined to convince Mae to see ice and snow with a different perspective (to replace the bad associations with positive ones). <3]

Tbh I absolutely love the parallels between their characters!

I definitely see Castle leading Mae to a road of recovery on how she feels about snow/ice/coldness in general, maybe reminding her of good memories she's had during winter that helps her see colder times as things that aren't so bad. Vv ironic that it's a fire type helping her do so-

On the flip side, she'd be encouraging him with his fire. Like yeah, fire can destroy and burn, but it also warms and brings people together.

Love me some character growth and overcoming personal struggles/challenges so I'm looking forward to exploring Mae potentially having a changed mindset on it. It's mainly being cold that she dislikes, but I reckon it's led to an irrational fear of the temperature getting below certain degrees that starts to make her feel uncomfortable, like she's gotta hide away/bundle up until it's warm again.

This is me refraining from rambling(not really tho)
 
Also lmao no matter the teams can we agree that they'll be absolutely hilarious when they evolve into their final forms (assuming they chose to do so)

I'm giggling Mae turns 4'3 as a Sneasler

That's still so short but it'd feel so tall for her-
 
Man, look at y'all! Making character plans! :D I'm excited to see the interactions between the different teams, what'll happen if they need to rely on each other, how the dynamics will be different...
 
I'm also thinking about how interesting it'd be if Clara evolved into a Glaceon? Would that win her instant brownie points with Castle? Would Mae avoid her? Or perhaps if she became a Flareon, would she be able to help Castle conquer his fear of fire? I really haven't decided what she'd evolve into, but it could greatly impact her relations!

Ooh, that's an interesting thought!

For Mae personally, she wouldn't dislike Clara no matter what she chose to evolve in, bc type discrimination isn't her thing. She is, after all, big on accepting anyone no matter how different they are to her.

Shes got some exposure to pokemon who are partial ice types such as her cousins and maybe one of her found family sibs, but I reckon a glaceon would technically be colder. Nonetheless, she wouldn't go out of her way to avoid any ice type pokemon bc they can't control what they were born as, same way she can't control her fear of the cold.

The only reason she'd do that is if they were a jerk, though Clara is *checks notes* top sweetest girls so we're good here.

Side note I absolutely love Clara. Mae would once again love her. I think she wouldn't be used to naive type pokemon since she grew up in a 'outsiders are suspicious so we must be on guard' type of place, but sweeties like Clara remind Mae the childlike wonder pokemon can still have. Anyone who bullies her will be dealt with. Fighting type bc she can throw down despite her size (when she learns poison type moves it is so over for any non steel types)
 
Looool it IS super funny when they evolve! But baby Pokémon always feel much more natural in PMD settings (probably because most of them are just living about their life, and not hyper-trained to be combat veterans, and baby Pokemons are under appreciated!) (final evolutions all have such an intense aura! LOL!)

Speaking of evolution, Castle was always meant to be an Arcanine in my head, so this 'rendition' of him is actually a younger version of it (and him being an Hisuian was a decision on the spot, and I LOVE IT). He was much older in one of my stories, with his suave and confident side being more prominent. I would play an Arcanine version of him if I could, but I love this younger version so so much as well equally!!!

And yes, Clara evolving into Glaceon=instant brownie points with Castle!!! I suspect most of the characters probably wouldn't evolve for a very long while (or the entirety of this rp), but somehow I can easily see Clara being the earliest to evolve and having an existential/identity crisis before it/because of it!
 
I might be out for nearly the whole day, tmr
