Thread: Far and Wide: Kanto Era

Far and Wide
Kanto Era

Welcome to the Kanto Region, an exciting adventure-filled region, where you, a beginning Pokemon trainer or coordinator, will begin your path to greatness. Along the way I'm sure that you will meet many different Pokemon and people. The first stop along the way will likely be Pallet Town, where you will hopefully receive a Pokemon that will be your quest-mate for the entire journey. That's all for now. There are many adventures waiting for you in the Kanto Region. Have fun!

Plot

That's right! This is a Pokemon journey RP. I know there have been a lot of these, but I happen to enjoy them more than any other type of Pokemon RP. Anyway, this is basically your typical journey RP. I've been looking over many of the older RP's and seen that they didn't get far because they are lacking one thing. A unique plot. That's why I have decided to put some twists in the RP that will be revealed later. In this Roleplay, you will take the place of a young trainer/coordinator that is beginning their Pokemon journey. They are visiting the local Pokemon professor named Professor Oak. After receiving their Pokemon, they will set out on a quest to beat all of the eight Pokemon Gyms and collect a badge from each or win five Pokemon contests. Winning eight gym battles or winning five ribbons will send a trainer or coordinator to Indigo Plateau, where trainers can challenge the Pokemon League and coordinators can participate in The Grand Festival. That's all for now, see you in Kanto.

My Sign-up/Example

Name: Tyler Avenicci

Nickname: N/A

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Appearance: Tyler is very tall for his age, standing at about 6'0. He has short brown hair which is usually messy. He has large brown eyes and a handsome face. Tyler wears a half-blue, half-light blue shirt with a light grey Pokeball in the corner. Tyler also wears jeans and and black sneakers with white bottoms. He has a muscular build, but is very slender.

Personality: Tyler is quiet when you first get to know him, but he actually turns out to be very outgoing and talkative. He dislikes being alone, so he is always in a group. Tyler mostly does what everybody else is doing, which can sometimes get him into trouble. He is usually optimistic about things. He is also a daredevil, as he will do anything you ask him to. Tyler will stand up for what's right most of the time. He gets into fights a lot and hates making a fool out of himself, which happens often.

History: Tyler lived an exciting life as a kid. His parents were coordinators, so he was always at Pokemon contests. His parents also had several house Pokemon, so he was around Pokemon his whole life. Tyler thought about becoming a coordinator, but it didn't suit him. His older brother had run away when his parents refused to let him be a Pokemon trainer. When Tyler told them he wanted to become a trainer, they reluctantly agreed. When Tyler was ten, he and his parents moved to Pallet Town to settle down, as his parents were done with their coordinating careers. Tyler would always look into Professor Oak's Lab waiting for the day he could finally get his first Pokemon.

Name: Justin Gaines

Nickname: N/A

Age: 12

Appearance: Justin is about 4"9' and he has a fairly slender build, as well as a fair skin tone. His eyes are green and his hair is a dirty blonde, being styled in somewhat of a fauxhawk. He is usually seen wearing a pair of brown cargo shorts, a white tshirt, and over his tshirt; a red, white, and black short sleeved plaid shirt. He also wears a pair of red black and white sneakers.

Personality: Justin is usually a quite friendly and laid back pre-teen; loaded with a love for adventure. He is always happy to meet new people and is quite open towards others. He has always had a soft spot for Pokemon; always being quite caring and kind hearted towards them. He can't stand those that treat Pokemon horribly though(It just makes him...Furious! Outraged! Sick with anger!) Despite his generally bright and upbeat personality, he feels like he's overshadowed too much by his family, trying a little too hard at times to show he can be as good of a trainer as his parents or brother. His bold and impulsive behavior also has been a drawback for him. He is also one who takes words to heart often, even holding grudges against those who upset him.

History: Justin is the son of the Ecruteak City Gym Leader: Morty, and a former top coordinator and renowned chef: Rosalina. He grew up in Ecruteak City; often watching his father fight against other trainers, thereby sparking his interest in becoming a trainer. Through his days in Ecruteak City; Justin would either spend time playing video games, watching his father battle, or traveling the area surrounding Ecruteak City(though he never went far out). He enjoyed meeting the Pokemon on the outskirts and grew to develop a very soft spot for Pokemon, playing with them on occasion and even caring for them. When his parents noticed his interest in battling and Pokemon; they sent him to a local Pokemon training school. There he learned of the reputation his family had, especially his older brother Zach who is known to be a quite powerful trainer in the region. He soon realized he had quite the reputation to live up to; trying extra hard in school and trying to prove to others he could live up to that reputation. Though he was able to learn the basics, he always fell short; being outsmarted by a couple students who constantly picked on him much to his frustration. He could never outclass these trainers and though he graduated from the school, he was left frustrated and began to wonder if he could live up to his family's reputation; though he wanted to prove others wrong. When he turned 12, his parents decided they would finally allow him to go out on his own journey. Justin didn't choose to go through Johto though, choosing Kanto instead, wanting to get a chance to meet the famous Professor Oak.

Name:Hope Sinram

Nickname:

Gender:Female

Age:14

Appearance:Hope has long black hair kept in a braid, with her bangs hanging loosely. She has lightly tanned skin, and blue eyes. She is 5'2'' tall of thin frame. She wears a simple long sleeved black shirt, with a white hooded vest, and white jean shorts. Her shoes are black and white boots.

Personality:Hope is cheerful and kind to everyone, but takes time to get to know them before trusting them. She is always up for any kind of adventure or challenge, unless it is to dangerous. She will also scold someone for being reckless if they could have been gravely injured or killed. She is a hypocrite in that she is very reckless if a pokemon is in danger.

History:Hope grew up in the Unova region in Nimbasa City, and loved to go on the subway, to the musicals, and the amusement park. When she was nine she visited the kanto region with her parents and saw a contest. She instantly fell in love with them. When she got back to Unova she did all the research she could on contests, which was little as they didn't exist in Unova. Her uncle who lived in Hoenn allowed for her to stay with him while she studied more about them. At fourteen she decided to finally start her journey as a coordinator, choosing Kanto as that was where she saw her first one.

Yeah, okay, I'll guess I'll give this a shot...

Name: Alex Santos

Gender: Male

Age: 13

Appearance: Alex is quite tall for his age, standing at 6'2, with a rather fair complexion. He has a stocky, well-toned musculature due to hardy, vigorous lifestyle. Alex has shaggy light brown hair, dropping down to only just above his ears, and a pair of bright, amber eyes with hints of gray in them. He normally shoots for comfort rather than style in his clothing. Alex usually wears a red colored short sleeve t-shirt under a black sleeveless jacket. He also wears a pair of thorn off jeans and worn out, red tennis sneakers. He tops off the look by wearing a pair of black fingerless gloves.

Personality: Alex is an easy-going, collected kid, always ready for adventure. He enjoys meeting new people and is generally open towards making new friends. His appearance and initial stoicism can be off-putting or even intimidating to some, but time will soon show a lovable bundle of jaded cynicism and contempt. He's world-weary without the burden of being world-wise. Alex has always had an adoration of Pokemon, always trying to be caring, and kind-hearted towards them. It makes him sick with anger to think that there are people who abuse and treat Pokemon horribly. Alex gets in over his head with things at times, hating to be overshadowed by others. He is quite bold, sometimes even being a little impulsive, and is normally one not afraid to take risks. All in all, Alex is an upbeat, outward young man that loves to cheer people up.

History: Alex was born in Hearthome City, Sinnoh where he lived a fairly normal life, at least through most of his life. He always had a lot of friends at school and was generally liked by the people that knew him. His family being neither poor nor rich, Alex had a classic middle-class upbringing. He quite enjoyed growing up and living in the big city, he got to see all different kinds of both people and Pokémon who travelled through the city. He attended the Pokémon School in the city but after his completion of the program he just didn’t have the desire to start on a journey like all the other kids in his class, feeling as if something was wrong with him, being that he wasn’t overly fascinated by Pokémon. One fateful night, Alex's father was murdered by a member of Team Galactic, after refusing to give up his Pokemon. After this occurred the boy and his mother had to fare for themselves, something that was beginning to become increasingly hard with the loss. The incident left Alex with a sickening hatred of all evil organizations around the world.

At the age of twelve, Alex got into battling as a sport, he started watching tapes of famous trainer battles and became more interesting in traveling but it wasn't the joy of traveling it was the thing he could get. With that he prepared himself for his journey so that he could become champion not for the fame and fortune, but for the glory. Through this he worked for months to try and gain the right amount of money to last him until he was at least skilled enough to get his own money for sure and settled for leaving on his journey. Alex took a ship directly to Pallet Town, once deciding to start his journey in Kanto. As a present for him leaving Alex's mother bestowed upon him a Vulpix that he could use in battle, his first ever Pokemon.

His build is rather slender he stands at 5,7.

William also wears a Top Hat with a red bow around the base and carries a purple back pack with a Genger face on it.

Personality: William is the perfect example of a glitter goth, He loves gothic litrature, movies, comics, clothing, and anything else you can think of. William is rather hyper, eccentric, and even a little annoying to a certain degree. Wiliam is also fond of cute pokemon although William's definition of cute can be considered a little strange thinking that Gastly is the cutest pokemon imaginable. William however suffers from depression and doesn't feel speacal. William also has a horrible temper and can get to the point where he he'll slap the person who get mad or verbally snap there heads off. Usually what angers him is being lied to or betrayed by a friend or someone hurting an innocent pokemon.

History: One day when William was about 8 years old, his parents took him to a Pokemon Contest and he saw how many people were there. He never seen so many people and when he asked his dad how many people were in the Contest Arena and his dad told him that its seats 2000 people. When Wiliam returned home that very evening he looked up online how many people were on the world and figured there was over 6 million people in the world. That night when he went to brush his teeth, he realized that at the time. There were thousands, if not millions who were doing the same thing as he. Because of this he no longer feels speacial. Thats when he started acting weird and gothic in order to be different from the rest of the world.

Name: Alice Fudo

Nickname: "Weirdo"

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Appearance: Alice was born with an unusual feature. Naturally pink hair that she hides inside a black hoodie. She is very petite with a pale skin tone due to lack of sunlight. She has blue eyes that her father tells her she inherited from her mother. She wears a pair of black and white fingerless skirt and a black skirt

Personality: Very quiet and isolated. She is always wearing a hood to hide her face, and as a result, very few people have actually seen her face. She is very intelligent and well-read, which is shown through her mannerisms and speech. She is very polite and respectful to her elders, but her self-induced isolation and fear has caused her to grow a somewhat cold personality towards her peers, and has grown up without friends. Despite this, she has a soft spot for younger children and secretly desires to be a teacher when she comes of age. She has a fear of Poison types.

History: Her mother left at a very young age, and she doesn't have much family outside of her father. She is an only child, and due to her self-isolation, grew up alone. When she was thirteen, her father told her that she would have to go on her journey before she was sixteen, or she would be kicked out.

Starter Request: Gothita

Proffesion: Trainer/Teacher

All Accepted. Since we have six members when do you say the start-up should be?

You should do it when you're ready.

I say by the end of the week. We have six members, once acs1903 decides to post his sign-up. That's a fair amount for a journey RP, but, if it were up to me, I wouldn't let in more than ten.

Can I reserve or is that not possible? :)

Sure, Reserved.

Name: Jessica Holden

Nickname: Jess or Jessie

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Appearance: Jessica has long light-ish brown wavy, silky hair. Her eyes are deep steel blue and her skin is between tanned and pale, so the generic stereotypical skin color for a Caucasian. Jessica is a very pretty/beautiful girl and it does help that she has no pimples and blemishes as well. She also has a nose that isn't big nor small and ditto for her mouth. She is pretty tall-medium for her age at around 5'7" and her body is that she is medium-thin and athletic, so you can tell that she is very fit for her age and strong just by looking at her. Her body is that where she has a little bit of a noticeable chest but she's developing...I guess, her legs are long which kind of adds to the athletic look as well. Jessica's attire includes a printed tunic with a low v-neckline with oversized lapels, cut-out sleeves and gathered waist with contrast tie. The print on the tunic is a light purple with a little beige mixed in with black. Under she wears shorts of the same color as well. She does wear this with black ribboned ballet flats and a light little silk scarf around her neck. However Jessica will change her outfit a lot which is mainly due to her love of fashion.

Personality: Jessica is a fashionista, she loves fashion. She knows she looks good and she knows other people will. She is also knowledgeable enough to use her looks as manipulation. However the problems of Jessica, is that she's not really smart, she lacks common sense and actually the only thing that she is intelligent in or has any sort of intelligence is tactical batting, fashion and traveling. She is a very athletic woman, she loves to surf, swim, jump, run, anything and everything to do with being active. That is mainly due to her upbringing though but she is very adventurous and she loves to travel as well because of her upbringing. She can act like a snob, she is very high maintenance which does get on a lot of people's nerves but she makes up for it in other areas. A lot of people will find her to be a snob and very stupid without giving her a chance but she tries to have a heart of gold. Also she does get very distracted when it comes to shopping and crazy daredevil stuff and is a known choker when it comes to battling.

History: Jessica is the middle child in a family of well interesting occupations. Her father was a savvy businessman which is a good reason why her family is rich from the city of Lilycove where they didn't really grow up in. Jessica's mother was a famous co-ordinator who now judges contests around Hoenn. Her sisters are very different, the youngest is very intelligent and is likely to follow on her mother's footsteps, while her older sister is a fashion model and Jessica has little resentment towards them for being smarter or prettier. Anyway her family moved around a lot of regions, a lot because of her father's work. She began to pick up stuff which led Jessica wanting to become a trainer, so she could travel by herself and make her parents proud. Also because of her traveling a lot with her family, she has picked up a lot of knowledge on the world (using a map) and also allowed her to be more active. The reason why she picked Kanto was because her family at that time was there bar her mother who was judging the Grand Festival in Hoenn, so she was ready to meet Prof. Oak and start her journey.

His father's diversity has reflected on to AC as well and so AC shows interest in a lot of things. As a youngster, he spent most of his days in school learning about math and the social and physical sciences. Thus, he has a good background in terms of knowledge. He also spent his free time generally looking after his brother, which made him mature even quicker. He decided to go on a journey with his Pokemon partner to figure out his calling.
