Thread: Pokemon New Journeys: Johto Saga

The Johto Region


From the tall, snowy, peak of Mt. Silver. All the way to the shore of Olivine City, the Johto Region features a variety of fascinating Pokemon. Some people use their Pokemon to battle others. These people are known as Pokemon trainers and are always on the move to battle Pokemon Gyms. These gyms each feature a gym leader, who specializes in one type of Pokemon. If the said trainer defeats the gym leader in battle, they will earn a gym badge. Once you earn a trainer earns all eight gym badges, he or she may go on to battle every trainer's dream, The Pokemon League. There are also some who prefer to enter their Pokemon in contests known as Pokemon Contests. These people are known as coordinators. A coordinators job is to train a team of show-ready Pokemon, being that they should be able to preform for three judges, whether it be in battle or appealing moves. Although these two jobs are quite interesting, there are some who like to explore the Pokemon world and catch as many Pokemon as they can. They later breed those Pokemon and keep them as pets or give them two a research lab to research the Pokemons behavior. These people are called Breeders. As you can see, the Johto Region has endless possibilities. Where will you fit in?

So this is basically a journey RP. We will all be trainers/breeders/coordinators and be traveing through the Johto Region. The reason that I didn't pick the Kanto Region (because I know that is where most people start a series of RPs) is because I have looked throught all the old journey RPs that have been quite successful and I have found that Johto RPs are what most people enjoy and adequately post on. I am looking for generally experienced RPers, for I would like to learn a thing from you. Also because this RP will be focusing on character development. Going from complete strangers to best friends and going from nobodies to champions.

Rules

All BMGF rules apply

My word is law

Name:
Lewis Griswald

Age:
15

Appearance:
Lewis is quite tall for his age, standing at 6'3, and has a rather fair complexion. He has a stocky, well-conditioned musculature, due to a vigorous lifestyle. Lewis has shaggy light brown that tends to curl out on the sides. He also has hard, icy, turquoise eyes, that seem as if they're staring right through you.

Lewis usually sports jeans and a t-shirt, but likes to mix it up a little. He will sometimes wear a leather or denim jacket over his shirt and is normally seen wearing his signature gray and red baseball cap over his head. Another notable feature in Lewis' apparel is the silver, dragon-shaped pennant around his neck.

Personality:
Lewis is naturally a kind boy. He loves to help out and enjoys making new friends. Lewis is mostly optimistic, having a postive outlook on most things. However, he is quick to react to things and is always the first to lose his temper. But, he will generally stay pretty calm unless something disturbs him. Lewis enjoys joking around, which is good, at times, as well as bad, at times, because he finds it hard to take things seriously, almost as if the world is one big joke.

History: Lewis was born and raised in Olivine City, coming from a long line of Pokemon trainers. His parents were killed in an automobile accident when Lewis was very young, and he was forced to live with his abusive grandfather. Lewis' grandfather was a scientist, and paid more attention to his work than he did to the boy. Lewis was neglected, and he learned how to take care of himself. One day, while he was strolling along the beach, Lewis came across an injured Vaporeon. He rushed the mortified Pokemon back home where he doused it with Potions and the like. Once it was healed up, the Vaporeon decided to stay with Lewis, as one of his only close friends. When he turned 15, Lewis decided to leave his grandfather once and for all and start his journey.

Name: Eliot Nadel

Nickname: The Daring*

Age: 14

Appearance: At exactly six feet two, Eliot's a little tall for his age. He has fairly long blue hair, mostly because he hates the barber's shop (He's worried about getting his ears chopped off.) He usually dresses in formal styles, usually wearing a tuxedo vest, button up shirt, tie, slacks, and dress shoes. He always wears a pair of pink heart-shaped sunglasses, and has uncommonly large blue eyebrows. He also wears a pair of kitty ears for some reason.

Personality: Eliot was raised to be a gentleman. He is very polite and well mannered, and will always serve others before himself. He's the kind of person who would give anyone the shirt off their back, and their pants, shoes, socks, heart-shaped sunglasses, and tie as well. He is also constantly awed by the feminine form, often rhapsodizing on the beauty of women he meets, and hitting on most females and pretty men. However, he will never disrespect a woman, and is very chivalrous.

History: Eliot's parents were a pair of astronauts named Ben and Elvis. They lived on Cinnabar island. But when the volcano erupted, his parents sent him to the moon on the family rocketship with Aron while they helped people escape. They died in the fires. Eliot, meanwhile, was crashed on the moon, where he lived off of rocks and coconuts. He eventually built himself a new ship and went back to earth to become a Pokemon master.

Name: Cara Smith

Nickname: If someone wants to call her something then go ahead.

Age: 10

Appearance: She is 120 cm tall has brown hair and blue eyes. She wears a blue-white-ish skirt-shorts (not sure what to call it) and a white T-shirt with a heart mark on it. She wears sneakers and a hat similar to Lyra,s but mor pink-blue-ish. She has a Pikachu shaped bag for her supplies.

Personality: Very cheerful she likes to meet new pokémon but can be wary of new people. She is very childish and is easily side-tracked.

History: She lives with her divorced mother and rarely meets her brother who she likes a lot. One day when she and her brother Kairo meet ha gave her her Oddish as she was very fond of his. She decided to us this Oddish as her starter at that time.

Proffession (Trainer/Breeder/Coordinator): Coordinator/Breeder she isn't sure which she is best suited for.

Starter: Oddish called Lily

Name: Raine Logans

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance: Raine is just about average height for her age and has a fair complexion. She has bright auburn hair and light crystal blue eyes. Raine is rather curvy for her age, but doesn't yet have any womanly features, and perhaps will never get them.

Raine normally sports a pair of faded, dark jeans and a sleevless, sky blue top. Over that, she wears a navy sweatshirt jacket and prefers no headwear. Raine wears black, fingerless gloves on each hand as well as pink converse.

Personality: Raine can't stand people who "pity the blind girl." She is very independent and likes to do things herself. Although Raine has a short temper, she is normally calm and makes friends fairly easily. Raine enjoys joking around, which is a good thing at times, but she definitely has a hard time taking things seriously. She is outward, down-to-earth, and loves cheering people up.

Raine is a bit of a nervous person. She is scared to be alone, due to the fact that she can't see, she likes to have someone to guide her, but not do stuff for her. She also has a huge phobia of bug Pokemon. Despite this, she tries to be brave, and isn't afraid to take risks.

History: Most unfortunately, Raine was born blind. This was not a pediment in her studies however, as she was an excellent student, graduating first in her class, as well as making honors. She led a rather quaint, peacful childhood, living with her single mother and sister in a small two-story cottage in New Bark Town. Raine always wanted to get out and see the world, but her mother was way too overprotective, hardly letting the girl step outside the door without her. Raine would always watch, or rather, listen to, Pokemon battles on the television. Battle strategies and mechanics intrigued and interested her, and it was from then on that her mindset was becoming a Pokemon trainer.

Professor Elm had been close to Raine's family, mostly because her father happened to be a lab assistant. When he agreed to give Raine a Pokemon, her mother finally gave in to letting her go on a journey. She has always loved exploring from a small age, and hopes to find new expiriences upon her journey. Raine's major goal is to make new friends and become a champion.

Missing No. hasn't posted for a number of days. Anyone else in favor of starting this up?

You should. I'm too busy?

Well, I happen to be running another Johto RP, so, GMing two of them would be a little too much for me to handle.

Unless, of course, I had a co-GM.

I don't mind GM'ing, I have a lot of free time on my hands
