Disturbed Legends (Start Up) Well, I thought I'd start my own roleplay. Let's see how it turns out.
A few warnings: This roleplay will contain a few mature themes, such as drug use and violence. Your character is being hunted by several groups and the very Gods of the Pokemon world themselves. You, uh... you might die.
Rules:
1. Two paragraph posts please. I'm willing to be lienient if his is difficult, but I won't accept one or two line posts, especially not as an introduction
2. Proper spelling and grammar would be greatly appriciated. If you cannot capitalize your 'I's or put periods at the end of your sentences I will ask you to leave
3. Please respect me when/if I ask you to leave
4. Two Legendary Characters per person, but feel free to play as many other types of characters as you want
4b. You can choose any open Legendary available for your first character, but other people get first pick before you make your second
5. No godmodeling, metagaming, or power playing
6. You read these rules, right? Then what Pokemon is dancing in my signature!? ... It's Charmander.
7. Feel free to add your own twists, but if it's something major or plot altering, run it by me first, kayz?
8. Avoid perfect or over-powered characters. I can understand if that's hard, seeing as we're legendary Pokemon people things.
9. If at all possible, have fun with this, okay?
10. Please don't be daunted by the long-ass plot. I just thought background information would be useful. But it seems unneccessary now...
Plot/History!
Team Rocket made the ultimate Pokemon when they created Mewtwo, but they couldn't control its power, and the Pokemon fled. For many years, nobody outside of the higher ups in the organization and a few heroes knew of its existence. The original Mewtwo disappeared into the world and would remain a secret forever.
The original would never be seen again, but its younger sibling would be born several decades later in present-day Lavender Town. Mewtwo's genetic blueprint had been saved and sold by a Rocket Scientist, and attempted replica was created underground.
The first second Mewtwo to show promise for survival was cloned over ten years after the first, after hundreds of failures before it. It arrived to the child-stage when it's first show of Psychic activity happened. It began reaching out with its mind for others but seemed unable to connect mentally with anything. Even other Psychic Pokemon put into the room.
Mewtwo was searching on a specific Psychic wavelength for something, and ignored everything else. After a few days of this insistent searching it became distressed, the monitors keeping track of its brain activity began to go haywire. Scientists tried to sedate the Pokemon and stabilize it, but nothing seemed to help. The young clone began to fidget and twist around inside the tube, even banging against the glass at points. Within two hours of the first signs of mental distress, the Pokemon went into cardiac arrest and died.
An autopsy of the clone revealed that some of liquids in its body had changed, specifically it's blood, lymph, and cerebrospinal fluids. No one had altered the nutrients in Mewtwo's suspension tube, or appeared to have sabotaged the clone directly. It was assumed that whatever Mewtwo had been trying to do before it died had caused the change that killed it.
Nothing else appeared to have changed on the specimen, save for its eyes. Originally the Mewtwo had shared the same violet eyes as the original, but when they were looked at post-mortem, they had turned pink, and glowed even though the Pokemon had died.
The fluid and eyes were removed from the body for further examination, while the dead Pokemon was preserved and stored on a shelf in the main laboratory with the rest of its half-formed brethren.
The strange series of events that led to Mewtwo's early death came together in the following week. No one was in the room while it happened, but security camera's picked up a Spinarak crawling along the wall towards the shelf of Mewtwo fetuses. The bug Pokemon crawled up onto the developed child Mewtwo's large jar, and in a flash of light the mirage Pokemon Mew revealed itself. The Pokemon remained on the screen for several minutes, peering through the glass of the jar and seeming to show an expression of deep sorrow and mourning. It soon Teleported away, taking the dead baby with it.
Using the information gained from the video, it wasn't long before the scientists formed a hypothesis on just what the strange chemical that had killed their clone was.
They found that the chemical could be replicated when injected into Psychic Pokemon. The chemical would activate the Pokemon's Psychic abilities, causing it to send out similar waves that Mewtwo had. Eventually the waves would change the fluids in the Psychic Pokemon's body to more of the black chemical, and the Pokemon would die.
Having a steady source of the chemical, the scientists were able to start experimenting on other Pokemon, and eventually people.
Thirteen years after its initial discovery, an altered form black chemical began to appear above ground in the form of a new drug known as 'Cat Blood'.
This drug produced an effect of euphoria in people, followed by several days of numbness, the length of both effects depending on how much of the drug was taken. After the numbness fades, however, users are faced with extreme withdrawals that cause extreme agony. Body aches, internal tremors, severe headaches, a change in the color of the iris, and nightmares (often involving a specific Pokemon) are common side effects to the use of Cat Blood.
The chemical wasn't only distributed to junkies though, and vaccinations began to be laced with another version of the chemical. Those who received the chemical through vaccinations were only treated to the side-effects of the drug, though on a lesser scale. It was often written off as a reaction the the vaccine.
What was the point? The group of scientists were searching for specific reactions to the chemical, which still activated the strange Psychic wavelength in victims. These wavelengths were created by the baby Mewtwo to search out its closest genetic ancestor, Mew, due to its initial Psychic search for its nonexistent parent being unsuccessful. A similar reaction is caused in any other organism that's brain is affected by the chemical.
Human tests had showed that they too would search out for an ancestor, but not another human. People would Psychically link up to a Pokemon somewhere in the world, and their nightmares are actually that link, which activates best while asleep. People's eye color would change to the color of the Pokemon they are related to.
Like the original Mewtwo's glowing pink eyes, some humans eyes also glow. These people are connected Psychically to legendary Pokemon, and they are the reason for the mass distribution.
Noah Fulmine, a multimillionaire and CEO of the Olympus Company is the mastermind behind this operation. She is seeking the victims of Cat's Blood and the tainted vaccines to find the locations of the legendary titans she desires.
She seeks to capture you alive, but she's not the only one hunting you.
Things to know:
1. You have interacted Psychically with the Legendary Pokemon and you know their location. I will control the Legendary until it accepts you.
2. Fat chance. It hates you. And its one of the forces hunting you down.
3. You're not defenseless though, in addition to any Pokemon you may have, you yourself are able to transform into a weaker version of your Legendary that is roughly your size. You can preform any physical abilities this Pokemon may have, but not attacks. (this trait is shared among all users of Cat Blood and the Vaccine, though not all have discovered it)
4. If your Legendary accepts you and you learn learn its true name, you will be able to use more powers.
5. Bounty Hunters are after you in order to reap a reward from Olympus.
6. The Olympus company is located in Lavender Town, Kanto. Don't worry about where you are in the world, they'll come to you buddy.

* A character can be connected to either Latias or Latios regardless of their own gender, but a female paired with Latios will still have red eyes, and a male paired with Latias will still have blue eyes. The same is true for Pokemon like the Nidoran family and Illumise and Volbeat.
** Since Zekrom and Reshiram were once the same dragon, a person connected to one will also be connected to the other.

SOMNUS:
Name: Somnus Rocco
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Somnus stands at 5'11" normally. He has shaggy, layered blond hair that comes down to about his chin at the longest points, and curls up in uneven spikes at the short points on the sides and top of his head. He used to have light brownish yellow eyes that matched with his hair, but after achieving his connection with Lugia, they have turned a pale silver color, and can be seen glowing in any light.
Somnus wears a black baseball cap with the symbol of Lugia on the front, framed against a red zig-zag pattern. He wears a red and black jacket with a broken zipper. His typical clothing style consists of loose or baggy articles, normal t-shirts and cargo pants.
Personality: Somnus is an introverted and shy individual, he's bad at voicing his opinion or explaining his actions. Because of his shyness, some read him as aloof or self centered, while others see him as weak. The latter would be correct. Without support, Somnus is a generally weak-willed individual.
Somnus is normally a harmless and passive individual, but is also a tad obsessive and prone to addiction. These facts can and have been used against him, and Somnus's peaceful side will usually lose out to his desires in the long-run, leading him to do many regrettable actions.
Bonded Pokemon: Lugia
History:
Somnus grew up in Olivine City, where he spent most of his time alone. He got into drugs before he became eligible to become a trainer, using them as a sort of stress relief. Obtaining them at his age wasn't as difficult as parents might hope, due to his world's messed up view of maturity and responsibility. Somnus ended up getting several children in his school involved in drugs as well, mostly by accident.
Starting life as a trainer came at the age of twelve, when Somnus was entered in a program for rehabilitation that used Pokemon as a sort of therapy. It was there that he obtained his first Pokemon, a Cyndaquil named Zarek.
The program was successful, and Somnus was able to get off drugs as he became occupied with taking care of and training Zarek. He was able to keep the therapy Pokemon and was released from the program. For several years he and his partner traveled and trained throughout the region of Johto, but he never worked up the courage to challenge a gym. He also didn't get back into drugs though.
Of course, until he was sixteen and an acquaintance convinced him to get into Cat's Blood.
Oh well. Plot.
Pokemon: Quilava [Zarek], Politoed [Nen], Ampharos [Luca], Beedrill [Dyre]
Other: Did I mention the charmander recently?
