marshmarrow marshmarrow Yo! I'm diggin' your CS so far, but I noticed one little mishap: all characters are 20-21 years old. I mentioned it once or twice in the the initial Interest Check post, but I should have made note of it in the CS skeleton as well. Sorry about that!
 
Thank you so much! That's an easy fix, since I haven't started explaining her history. I never caught it in the IC, so I was actually about to ask about the timespan of the M3 project.

Also, the second image isn't really Gijinka, but it fit her character relatively well and had the coloring I was looking for. I hope that's OK.

The M3 project began when our characters were no more than a year old. It developed well for several months until a gang of desperate and foolhardy people raided the lab. After the children were dispersed among the world, nearly twenty years have passed until they return to project at last for the supposed drug trial.

And yeah, that picture is perfect! It certainly doesn't have to be a gijinka-specific picture, so long as any Pokemon traits they received are acknowledged in the appearance description.
 
I have a question. Basically: I don't really get some of the stuff the form is asking of me for making my character. (I'm the zebrastrike)

also question for the starraptor user. why are they from kalos? starraptor is a sinnoh pokemon? (I don't really care one way or another, I was just wondering.)

Alright! Which parts of the form can I make clearer?

Also, it does not matter where any specific Pokemon originates. Professor Reid has a collection of Pokemon DNA from every region. After the raid on the lab, their character ended up in Kalos, but received DNA from a Sinnoh Pokemon. The region in which a character grew up and the region of the Pokemon's DNA they received have no relation whatsoever.
 
Ah i see. that makes sense

first, can a gajinka be a trainer?
also, just what sort of things went on at the lab? and if someone went back, what would happen? would their situation change at all?
(I'm nor really sure what to do with the history XD)

Yes, they can be a trainer.

Okay, let me try to explain this a bit better.

The governor of the Orre region and well-respected gang leader Xavier Cross decided to create Pokemon-human hybrid weapons of war to sell to the gangs of other regions (Rocket, Plasma, Flare, etc.). He assigned Prizio Reid, a former Pokemon Professor, to take charge of the project. Reid gathered orphan newborns from all over the Orre region and beyond, none of them any other than one year. After a month or two of testing and observation, those newborns were prepped to receive a formula containing the DNA of certain Pokemon. For example, if a babe displayed quick mental development, that child would receive a formula containing the DNA of various Psychic-type Pokemon. Between these injections, the newborns were subject to various other tests to examine the effectiveness of that formula. If a child who received Fire-type DNA were subject to a Water-type's attack, for example, then that child should show susceptibility to water. Most children grew sick and died. Very few actually survived, for some unknown reason. A few months later, a gang raids the lab and destroys whatever they can. The surviving children are taken by the gang to either 1) be sold in the black markets throughout Orre, 2) taken in by a gang member, 3) tossed away if not seen as valuable (and from there they can grow up on the streets or be taken in by a family or workhouse or what have you).

As the children grow up, they suffer from a odd sickness unknown to any doctors. It affects some more than others, but always includes severe reactions to certain elements such as water, fire, darkness, ice, and so on--whichever element the Pokemon you have chosen is weak to. I have a Gengar and a Lycanroc M3, so my Gengar will grow up terrified of the dark, while my Lycanroc will be allergic to water and avoid plants. After nearly twenty years, the now-grown-up test subjects will return to Orre after hearing word about a drug trial that describes their symptoms oddly well. In addition to receiving the drug, they will also be handsomely compensated. After receiving this new drug is when they finally complete their transformation into an M3.

How's that? Any more questions?
 
Honestly part of me not posting the character is because I don't have any fancy code abilities whatsoever and I don't like that. And the fact that things weren't allowing me to focus here schedule-wise the last week due to stuff like college signup, so yeah. Character either tonight or tomorrow.

Oh, it doesn't need to look fancy or anything! Just as long as you have all the information togrther. And okay, take your time.
 
ah I see! ^w^
what if the character went back/remained t the lab after the raid to due getting tossed out/hiding?
 
I'm here! Work has been insane stupid retail but I should have time this weekend to actually work on my two guys!
 
I can't wait to see everyone's characters! I'm making edits to my CS and then I will begin writing out the history.

Also, if the RP starts Sunday, I may not be able to actually respond until Monday or Tuesday. My replies can be slow, especially as exams are approaching, but I'll make time to post a few times a week.

The lab was destroyed in the raid and many workers were killed by the gang. Any other survivors would have fled the scene and your character would have been left alone until they were found by anyone passing by (which is unlikely considering it's in the middle of the Orre desert, but still possible) or until they died. Governor Cross had the lab and all other evidence burned to ashed and cleared entirely until a new facility was built several years later complete with high-tech security and guards. Your character may hear rumors of the new lab or see it from a distance, but they will be unable to get close until the day comes to test the new drug.

Maaaaan, do I know the feeling... Take any time you need to recover! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Bit by bit is the way to get it done! I still have a whole other character to write up as well.
I extended the due date to the the end of Monday! If people still need time to work on their sheets, I can extend it if need be. Otherwise, we can get started on Tuesday!
 
Question about the lore: Does Team Snagem or Cipher of Orre have any affiliation to the M3 project? You mentioned Team Rocket planned to distribute M3's to all regions' criminal organizations; I'm curious if that would include disbanded ones that might plan a resurgence once they get a hold of these weapons. Seeing how Cipher had a lab in the Orre desert and also experimented with Pokémon, I thought there could be a connection.
 
i did it [dies inside]
If there's anything that needs to be corrected, tell me and I'll see if I can work it out.
Just a couple things: explain how Amaya's Solrock came into her life and add it's ability, then you'll be good to go!

I know you're still working in your CS, but I just need to clear something up since I just caught it. Your character was hardly a toddler when the lab was raided and therefore should not be able to remember the lab's location or anything more than vague memories of pain, fire, a white room, etc. Small things, nothing concrete. You are welcome to place your character in a similarly strict environment though, such as an orphanage or a work house, and say that routine feels familiar.

Team Rocket won't be doing the distribution, Xavier Cross will! He plans on selling the M3s to the criminals of other regions. But that's a good question! I haven't thought much about Snagem or Cipher, to be honest. I always assumed they were simply disbanded after the events of Colosseum and XD respectively. The lab that Reid was using when the M3 project first began was the old Shadow Pokemon lab, though. Hmm... Let's say that Snagem is finished entirely, wiped out after Wes destroyed their base and finished Cipher the first time. Other gangs, such Xavier Cross's Bane, rule the lands. Most Cipher peons, however, were arrested and imprisoned, though a few here and there escaped their fate. There could be a couple working on the M3 project, but not with any intention to begin Cipher anew for the third time. 25 Years have passed since their second defeat, after all; the times have changed.

The goal of Governor Cross is to incite war between all other regions but Orre as a way of revenge, with Orre being the main weapons dealer as a way of generating revenue. He hopes that doing all of this will eventually contribute to Orre's stability as a region.

Solrock's only ability is Levitate, so I figured I wouldn't need to mention it when I typed that part. Added regardless. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The explanation was added as well.
