Alrighty, just making sure. I'm going to finish their sheet before I begin homework because otherwise I know I'll either lose the drive to work on them or be too distracted to work on what I'm supposed to. It should be done soon.

Here's my crappy, unnecessarily long CS! :D


The Essentials:



Name:
Sadly not as simple as one would expect a name to be. The right head goes by Ava, and the left head's name is Lema. Collectively, they use an amalgamation of their names, Lemava.


Age: Hard to determine as well. Lema seems to be the older of the two, somewhere in her late 20s or early 30s, while Ava seems to be quite younger, at her very early teens.


Gender:
A little more straightforeward. Both heads are female, but when referred to collectively it's 'they', 'their', 'them', and rather than 'I', 'we'. Not because they're gender-neutral, but because they refuse to think of themselves as one individual.


Species:
Doduo


Faction: Zekrom, though Lema was originally meant to be part of Reshiram's faction; their situation can be best described as soul-snatching gone wrong. They are a renegade, though it's quite clear that if they didn't have to share the same body, they'd most likely work for their respective faction without qualms.


Alignment:
Lawful neutral for Lema, Chaotic neutral for Ava.


Fatal Flaw:
Their indecisiveness, which originates from their inability to cooperate with one another, which in turn stems from their stubbornness. Though they'll continue to learn to get along in order to survive, they, as two opposites, will never truly get along, and as two individuals sharing the same body, it can be easily fatal someday.


Saving Grace:
The very stubbornness that is the root of their problems. If one has their mind set on something, the other most likely won't get the other get it. However, if both have their minds set on something, beware, because with Lema's reason and Ava's wit, the two will somehow, someway, find a way to get what they want. They're persistent but not unreasonably so. Lema knows when something isn't working and Ava knows how to change a plan that isn't working, but though their plan may change, their goal will never be compromised.


Appearance:
Lemava resembles your usual Doduo, with a few exceptions. For one, there's the obvious change in colouring as a human (or rather, as humans) brought into Zoradus, and quite divided colouring at that. The right head (Ava), neck, and eyes share the same black, dark gray, and red as those of Zekrom, respectively, while the left head (Lema), neck and eyes share the same white, light blue, and cyan as Reshiram. The right leg also shares this light blue, while the nails of the talons are coloured white, and the left foot has the same gray as the right neck, with black for the nails. The body is completely black, a marking of Zekrom's influence over Reshiram, but by no means a marking of Ava's influence over Lema's. Another interesting feature is their beaks; Ava's is slightly longer but duller than a normal Doduo, while Lema's is slightly shorter but sharper than that of your average Doduo, and both of their beak lengths corresponds with the neck lengths as well. There's also the fact that there's plenty of scars on the right head inflicted from the left head, causing the feathers to grow in irregular directions. Lastly, there's simply the fact that they don't seem as coordinated as most Doduo are.


Fighting style: Lemava uses their speed to their advantage, aiming to confuse and outmaneuver, or in some cases, outrun, their opponents. Their fighting is quick and their fights are quick, aiming to take out others as swiftly as possible, without causing more pain than necessary. When not using special moves, they will kick -and quite hard at that- and strike with heads, Ava from a further distance, using her beak as more of a club due to its dullness but heavier weight and taking wide swings at opponents, while Lema will strike out at others from a shorter distance and stab and jab due to its lighter and sharper qualities, and the two heads will watch each other's back in combat. This is one of the more common scenarios in which both heads seem to be on the same track, since Ava's desires for fighting usually do not go against Lema's own, but in the occasion that it does, the fighting will become chaotic and uncoordinated, often striking each other by either mistake or purpose.


Writing example:


Doduo's two heads never sleep at the same time. Its two heads take turns sleeping, so one head can always keep watch for enemies while the other one sleeps [/COLOR] momentarily have the joy of thinking and acting as an individual before having to return to being a collective unit, and consequently partaking in the constant bickering that takes place in their waking hours.


This was a time in which such joy was denied to them, for the right head, Ava, would not allow Lema, the left, to sleep. Every few minutes, as the white one would begin to grow drowsy, the black one would swing her head and smack her beak against the white one, both heads wincing as she did so.


Ava, the white head told the other through telepathy, shooting it a sideways glance, It is three AM. I have barely slept, you have barely slept, and if we continue on like this it will not matter that we have found cover, for we will be too tired to think clearly, and will most certainly give away our positions regardless.


"UHG!"
Ava cried aloud, stopping in her tracks, "There ain't no time to be sleepin' ya dolt, they're gonna find us!"


There would have been more than enough time had you not taken it from me via your childish acts of violence. Additionally, there is no need for your loud outbursts, as they are only making it easier for us to track down.


The black head flailed about wildly, letting out a wild screech before speaking once more, "If Zekrom finds us he's gonna snap! And if he snaps then we're gonna snap! Literally! And I like my neck intact, thank ya very much!"


Exactly my point. Lema gave a jab to Ava's head, right under the eye, which Ava returned with another smack, "SO THEN JUST LISTEN TA ME!-"


Shut up. Grow up.


Thud.
Ava brought her head against the ground and let out a groan, burrowing into the dirt.


That's not helping.


A small bout of silence fell upon the duo as Ava began to take example from the wiser head.


If we're out in the open he's gonna find us! Okay!? We can't stay out here! So stop complainin', and let's get to Zodiac City already! We're almost there!


We can stay out here, you just refuse to. So go on, then. I won't stop your delusional self, for I know it won't do me any good. I only wish you could come to these same conclusions. Thus I tell you only this: If something bad happens, though, don't say I didn't warn you.


"Fine!" Ava's head popped out of the dirt and began to run once more, taking Lema by surprise and causing them to fall face-first. Spitting out dirt and exchanging a final glare with Lema before turning away sharply, her beak held high, she continued, "You'll see! I'll show you! You're not the boss of me!


I never said I was.


"Well you sure act li-YOU KNOW WHAT!? JUST HURRY-...Just hurry up and run, damn it."


And with slight reluctance, they did.



The Extra:


Likes:


Dislikes:


Talents:


Hobbies:


Fears:


Crushes: N/A for Lema, none as of now for Ava.


Orientation: Confusing. Ava is pan, while Lema is aro-ace, making relationships of that sort for Lemava very difficult and/or short lived.


Theme Song:


Ava - [media]

Lema -[media]

Lemava - *2/3 songs from Undertale = Proof I'm in Skeleton Hell and am Undertale Trash


[media]



[/media]
Other:


"This represents Lema's speech."


"This represents Ava's speech."


"This represents Lemava's simultaneous speech."


Doduo. The twin bird Pokémon. The perfect example of unity, despite being the result of an unexpected mutation.. Sharing the same body and two indentical but individual minds, the Pokémon works together in perfect harmony through a telepathic bond, each head watching over the other when most vulnerable. Always feeling, thinking, and knowing the same thing.


And then there was the rare example of yet another mutation, in which the bird shares two distinct and individual minds.


And then there was soul snatching, which in itself could be considered another deviation.


And then there was soul snatching gone wrong, yet another deviation from the norm.


And then there was Lemava. The very culmination of everything above. Everything that could've went well but had gone wrong when bringing a human -or rather, two humans- into Zoradus. If your average Doduo was the perfect example of unity, then they were the perfect example of division.


{I might add in more in 'The Extra' later, but that's all for now. Might also draw them.}

So, I was looking at this and it sounds really good.


What are the limits on the Pokemon we can be? 1st Evolution? Certain regions for certain Factions?


I'm pretty sure I figured out the answer to the other questions.

Due to the nature of this RP, I'm fine with Pokemon being evolved so long as they were adults before being sent into that world or are old enough as Pokemon. Factions are not region specific and any Pokemon from any region can be in any faction.
 
Runesage said:
Also, how do you find pictures for these pokemon? That Riolu one looks really cool.
I used the Riolu Maker made by Wyndbain on Deviantart because the creator explicitly states that they can be used as Avatars and for RP as OC images so long as no one claims that they made the game used to make it.
 
[QUOTE="White Masquerade]Oh my gosh Rio O_O Good luck

[/QUOTE]
xD thanks. This seems like a pretty good start here, huh?
 
[QUOTE="White Masquerade]It sure looks to be!

[/QUOTE]
Wouldn't have made it this far without your advice! Thanks a ton!
 
Thanks Riolux, might make some slight changes in the other and whatnot, but eh. I'm still not 100% happy with it but I've got a lot of work to do so that won't be done today.


PS - I'm still drawing my characters by hand but I used some bases to see how they'd look like with their colourings and whatnot, though any physical changes (save for the additional leaves and the scarf added on Sylvain) weren't accounted for. I'm not too fond of the colouring for Lemava and much prefer Doduo's normal colours, but I gotta say Sylvain's does have this charm to it...


Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet


But yeah, might not hear from me for a while. ^ ^"
 
The Essentials:


Name:
"My name is Aneirin."


Age:
"The number 13 comes to mind."


Gender:
"I am a male. Was it hard to tell?"


Species:
"I am an Absol, obviously.


Faction:
"I'm no longer part of a Faction" (Renegade, former Follower of Xerneas, but Soul-Snatched from Kyogre, as evidenced by the darker blue hues in his light blue fur.)


Alignment:
"I live by a personal code, not abstract concepts of right and wrong." (Lawful neutral)


Fatal Flaw:
"My biggest struggle is responsibility. Leadership wouldn't suit me very well."


The burden of responsibility. The ability to sense disasters comes with a personal feeling of responsibility to warn others of their coming. He'll go to great lengths to warn others, and he'll often take massive risks to get to the area where the disaster will happen before it strikes. Also, if he is leading a group, he'll be rather indecisive, due to not wanting to make a wrong choice. Failure to warn others and failure to lead weigh heavily on him, and he personally is hard on himself after that.


Saving Grace:
"I think my best quality is my drive to succeed."


Aneirin is driven. If he sets out to accomplish a task, he will use all of his effort. This is partly the cause of his flaw, because he takes the failures that he has very personally. This drive allows him to focus almost perfectly on the task at hand, allowing him to do come up with some pretty unorthodox solutions to problems.

Fighting style:
"Fighting is something I'm good at, even if it's inefficient at times. I know where people hurt, and aim for that."


He, unlike most of Xerneas's followers, has no inhibitions about violence, if someone is getting in the way. That doesn't mean he won't try a peaceful solution first, but if the opponent insists on fighting, he will. His fighting style is very calculated. Most healers know the places that hurt the most on a body, and he is no exception. He goes for fast, precise strikes on sensitive areas of the body, trying to end it quickly, but with as little permanent damage as possible, unless he's angry. If he's angry, he switches his aim from points that would cause pain, to vulnerable spots that will quickly incapacitate his rival.


Personality and/or Writing example:



"But, you can't leave!" the young follower of Xerneas protested, looking up at Aneirin worriedly. "He can still make it!"


"I'm sorry, but I can't help you. There is going to be a tornado-"


"So? He's dying, and I don't know what to do." The follower said, tears welling up into his eyes. Aneirin felt tears well up. It was time for him to make the choice he knew was coming. Would he focus on his calling as a healer, or would he focus on his duty as an Absol. The responsibilities seemed to conflict more and more often these days. A silence seemed to prevail over the entire area, only broken by the groans of the injured Pokemon.


The silence continued until Aneirin started walking out of the room. "Wait, where are you going? He's going to die if you don't help him!"



A single tear fell down Aneirin's face as he turned to look at his former co-worker.
"I'm going to do my duty. There is no good choice in this matter. If I stay, the town gets destroyed, and more people will be hurt and killed. If I go, then I will forever bear the guilt of his death." More tears began to fall. "I choose to follow my soul. Staying will only cause me more trouble. I can run from the duty of a healer, but I can't run from the duty of an Absol."


"So you're running away? Forever?" The follower asked.


Aneirin nodded, tears now streaming down his face. "
I'm sorry," he said one more time, knowing it was woefully inadequate for the occasion. He then turned and fled, running as fast as he could towards where the tornado would hit, fervently praying that Arceus would grant him the strength to live alone and rejected, as all Absols seemed to end up.


History: "History? I can't remember most of it. My earliest memory is a feeling of being pulled, and then Xerneas standing over me. I remembered my name, and Xerneas told me that I was one of her followers, a healer, a spreader of peace. Everything that Xerneas said made sense and fit, but I got the sense that something was being held back. Xerneas promised to help my mind heal, and eventually regain my memories, as long as I continued as a follower. I did for a while, but then the pressure of healing and the pressure of warning began to build up, and I decided to leave. I split from the group and fled to Zodiac city."


Yeah, I'll work out the human history soon enough, but this should be enough to start.


The Extra:


Likes: "I like good food, helping people, being successful, and, even though I left, I still like and respect Xerneas."


Dislikes: "I really don't like being being alone, even though I have to be. I don't like death, failure, and I don't like it when I can't plan all the way through


Talents: "I mean, I can sense disasters with my horn, but that was obvious. Oh, you mean personal talents. I'm a pretty good fighter, I'm a decent healer, and I can solve puzzles pretty well. I've got pretty good stamina, and I've got a knack for cooking. I can read footprint runes, and Unown script."


Hobbies: "I never really have much time for hobbies because I always have to go somewhere, be it to heal, or to warn. In my down time I enjoy cooking, learning about things, and solving puzzles."


Fears: "I'm afraid of failure, rejection, and losing control. I'm afraid of myself a little."


Crushes: None yet.


Orientation: Straight


Theme Song: [media]





[/media]
Other: nothing right now.


Moves:
"Let's see, I know Hone Claws, Detect, Night Slash, and Psycho Cut."





@Riolux Let me know if there's anything that needs changing based on how you wanted the story to go.

Sylvain looks cool and that's just the reference!
 
So how many people do you think that you'd need before this started? I'm really excited for this. If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know @Riolux !


Also, @LittleLoon , I can help you deflate your ego over the CS you made. You forgot to add a place for what moves they know. Guessing four move max because that's how it is in PMD.

That is true. And I think I'll make Littleloon's the official one for this RP since EVERYONE uses it xD . With the addition of moves. Which I'm gonna add to mine. Also I am adding everyone's themes to the Newly added Themes Tab. Also yes Runesage, it will start soon. I'm gonna message a couple of people that expressed interest before to see if they're still up for it and if they are, I'll let them post characters. If not, we'll start it up.

I didn't add in moves because I wasn't sure whether or not we were going to go with the traditional 4 move limit or a different system, but since the 4 move one has been confirmed, I'm going to add that in. Thanks. ^ ^"

Also, um, could you not add Lemavas' themes yet, since I haven't finalized them and they'll probably change (especially since I'm probably not going to use any Undertale songs for them after all since I have the /perfect/ one for my last character with Undertale)? Sylvain's is fine to add, though.

I can easily update it with no problem. It's simply there and I expect updates from others as well.
 
The Essentials:


Name: Grane Croberd (AKA Dewdrop or Dew or Dewie)



tumblr_nao2n0YL6f1qk7puko1_r1_500.gif



Age:
15


Gender:
Female


Species:
Pachirisu


Faction: Once a follower of Reshiram, but now a Renegade


Alignment:
Neutral Good


Fatal Flaw:
Her lack of responsibility and inability to take anything seriously can hold her back. And, when given the opportunity, she will do things just because she is able to. This can get in the way, but that does not mean she doesn't know whats best for people.


Saving Grace:
Her ability to keep her spirits up and keep at something is something she excels in. Normally, however, she will refuse to do it unless she is able to do it her way. Then again, her way seems to always work.


Fighting style:
Tends to have no set pattern for anything, as she is extremely good at adapting to the situations shes in. Dewie is able to deal with conditions and has a great strength in teamwork; Shes able to do things the enemy would normally never think of.


Personality and/or Writing example:



Dewie launched from tree to tree, hearing the loud shouts of the Followers in pursuit. She giggled, a buck tooth grin stuck to her face. Seeing them lag behind, she stopped and jumped off of a branch. She put her small hands on her hips, lolling her tail around casually. As the Arcanine and Deerling approached, she waved wearing a cheeky grin. "So, how're you guys doing?" She questioned innocently. The Arcanine growled, then stated, "Reshiram is looking for you, Dewdrop. What are you doing running off?! We have a job to do." He placed his paw ferociously on the ground.


Dewie waved dismissively at him, as if it were nothing. "Reshiram should forgive me, since I'm just following the truth. The truth that, well, I can't exactly follow the truth..." Her voice cracked a small bit at the end, but she soon redeemed her normal persona. Dewie saluted. The Deerling stepped forward, tentatively. "No, wait, Dewie. Don't leave! Reshiram needs you..." Dewie again waved it off. "I'm not that important. Just, forget you ever saw me! Hehe~!" Then, she swiveled on her pivot foot and sprinted away, hearing a roar from the Arcanine. She left them in the dust once more, feeling a small seed of regret begin to germinate... But, she just couldn't do it anymore. And she pushed that seed back, rebelling it. No more regrets.


History: She never really talks about it, probably because she doesn't want to or she just doesn't remember.


The Extra:


Likes: Berries, her 'way', other people and action


Dislikes: Boredom, stumping situations, and being scolded.


Talents: Being adaptive in many different conditions, speed, and cunning


Hobbies: Running, bargaining, adventuring, and helping others


Fears: Fears that one day everyone will look down upon her and think shes some kind of disdainful disgrace...


Crushes: None, yet.


Orientation: Straight


Moves: Iron Tail, Thunderbolt, Gunk Shot, Roll Out (Has some weaker versions of these she can use to 'tease' people)


Theme Song: [media]





[/media]
Other: Nothing, really...

I like the update, Molten also it's good to hear from you again. I was just about to message you to make sure you were still on for it.
 
Alright well once Littleloon is comfortable with everything, I'm gonna send a quick message to all others that expressed interest to see if their still up for it. It's unlikely as they haven't posted in a while, but in the event that they are interested, I will have them post characters as well.
 
So how many people do you want for this rp, because if each person has 3 chars, then right now, with me, you, Molten, and Littleloon, that'd be 12 chars eventually.


Also, could you post the CS format in the opening post?
