Fandom ◓ — Pokémon: Monochrome [OOC].

[Calyx]

Castelia City. Hustling, bustling, always filled with moving bodies, and absolutely stunning in the autumn. It's also home to the Casteliacone, the Royal Unova, and most importantly, Castelia University. An academic marvel welcoming students from every corner of the globe, it offers a variety of rigorous programs for all dreamers — battling, coordinating, liberal arts, STEM, Pokémon conservation, and so much more. And this fall, with an acceptance letter in hand, no matter your background, you have the opportunity to experience life in the city and at Castelia University for yourself.

Our character thread is now live! Thank you to everyone for your patience!

 

[Calyx]

Slept late, but added ApfelSeine 's Mai-Lan as our first accepted character!

I had no idea what a Pokémon Connoisseur was, so I almost assumed that it was a misspelling for Coordinator, but then my lazy butt Googled it. Very cool concept and I'm excited to see what our Quagsire-loving lass brings to the table!

Before anything else happens injustice wanted to express that I know the basics of Pokémon but I’m starting to love it every time I watch a video about it so apologies in advance!

Just wanted to make sure but my character having one of his Pokémon as golett is fine right? I saw that ur fine with Pokémon from other rhinos so just wanted to make sure!

Yep. Battling is not the main focus, so your Pokemon can be anything short of legendaries. If you need help with your character sheet, I'd be happy to help you.

Thanks I’ll let you know if I do!

Awesome. I'm still on vacation, theoretically, until the 3rd, but I'll try to respond to any DMs sent my way.

 

[BlossomBunniess]

May I have help with my backstory?

Absolutely! Happy to help anyone, so feel free to send me what you have and I'll give some ideas!

Should I send you the wip character sheet or just the backstory I have so far?

Whichever you prefer. I'd be happy to give feedback on anything you need.

 

[Calyx]

Next to the roster is BlossomBunniess 's Fujimori Michiko! Our first battling-based character is here. And with an extremely relatable quote too.

 

[ThAtGuY101]

I think I'm content with Dolan's bio for now. If it needs edits, I'll make it happen. If I edit it on my own, I'll let y'all know.

Nope. It looks good! I love the idea of using Union Cave and The Alpha Ruins for the background of an archaelogist character. Also love to see some love for my boy, Slowking! I'll go ahead and update the cast list to include Dolan.

Slowpoke is hands down my favorite pokémon. For some reason I find the dopey pink oblivious pokemon to have a very relatable personality.

 

[R U S T]

Gonna finish up the character sheet later tonight!

 

[dontPanic]

Just finished up my CS

 

[Calyx]

Just finished up my CS

Looks great! I'll add you to the list tomorrow.

 

[Calyx]

I absolutely love Alex! Very excited to see some NB representation. Absolutely love that all of their Pokemon are references to protagonists from literature too. I'll add yours (and dontPanic's character) once my headache goes away, draconicheart .

WAHOO! ＼(￣▽￣)／ tysm! take your time :>

It was asked in the interest check, but not addressed here: I'm thinking we'll start sometime this weekend. I don't have an exact date, so it's a little TBA, but I'm working on my characters in my Private Workshop (still on vacation until Tuesday though). With the amount of initial interest, I was expecting this to be an extended universe sort of Roleplay, but since this group is shaping up much smaller than I expected, it may be a single thread, which is where I'm leaning right now.

 

[dontPanic]

i like how well rounded the cast is so far!

 

[Merciless Medic]

I took a look at all the character sheets (really cool by the way), and I'm interested in making two characters. A coordinator/scholar-esque type of person with a Psychic-, Bug-, and Ghost-Type specialty, and a researcher who could help with the knowledge aspect of battling or anything else knowledge-based that has to do with Pokemon, ecology, and their behaviors. I would ask if I could give this researcher a mega (and possibly give my specialist a mega throughout the RP when it comes time), but I'll just send sheets when I can

Megas are allowed within reason. I'm actually having an ex-Mega Researcher turned Conservationist as one of my characters myself. Honestly, I'm looking more for story than balance, so I'm open to >most< things as long as my players can give me genuinely good reasons for them.
