Thread: Pokemon: Soul Bonds *Sign-up!!!* (Sign-ups CLOSED!)

Welcome to my new Role-Play! I hope you enjoy it!

Plot

Welcome to the Pokemon world! The year is 2015, the month September. Summer is finally coming to an end, but where summer ends, technological advancement begins. Research is being put into a new device that may allow humans and Pokemon to communicate telepathically. A prototype has been developed, but the device only works when the human and Pokemon have a strong bond and trust each other with their lives.

This is where you come in.

We've handpicked the twelve best Trainers and Coordinators from around the globe to take part in a short testing of this new prototype. You will be paid handsomely for your time ($1000 per day). The testings could range from a few days to several months or longer, but after the tests are over you will be allowed to keep the device for good.

If this appeals to you, fill out the attached form and send it to us, then head for Slateport City, Hoenn a week from now. Bring the one Pokemon on your team you have the greatest bond with.Thanks in advance, and we hope to see you there!

My Sign-up:

Username: -Gray- (By the way, I'm awesome.)

Character's name: Cole Jacobson

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Sexuality: Straight.

Trainer or Coordinator: Trainer

Personality: Cole has a more... interesting personality than most, as you'll see.
Cole considers himself a bit of a loner, although he has met plenty of people more introverted than himself. He prefers the company of a book or his laptop to the company of a large group of people, and sometimes gets pretty short-tempered when in the middle of a large crowd, so be careful if you see him in public. Cole also has a bit of a silver tongue, and can manipulate people with words. However, this silver tongue turns to lead when Cole is afraid and acid when he's angry, giving the impression of three different personalities.

First, there's cunning, manipulative Cole Jacobson, modest and slightly charming, as well as mysterious. He generally stays away from crowds and stays calm in even the most dangerous situations. He's a good leader and pretty strategic for someone of his age, and can inspire confidence in those around him.

Second, there's quiet, quick-to-flee Cole. He generally tries to stay clear of any awkward situation and diverts attention from himself in any way possible, whether it's changing the subject or rushing into a different room for a few minutes. Because of this, Cole is considered slightly shady, always avoiding conversations when possible. Even when he has to talk, Cole tends to leave the actual talking to someone else, although he listens attentively.

Finally, there's bold, quick-tempered Cole. He gets carried away in conversations, which generally makes chitchat deteriorate slowly into an argument. This personality slightly enjoys conflict, and will listen in and laugh softly at any argument. This version of Cole is the rarest, as he tries to keep out of arguments of any kind.

Cole is mortally afraid of heights, although sometimes this fear drives him to explore the highest areas possible. Contradictory, I know. He is very noble, and will do anything to resolve most fights quickly.

Appearance: Cole is slightly tall for his age, enough so that he gives off a slightly commanding aura. He is extremely thin, with no trace of fat anywhere on his body. You could literally count his ribs through his skin, and nearly every bone of his is visible from outside. No matter how much Cole eats, he never seems to put on much more weight or get any fatter. Believe me, he's tried. Cole has a slightly pale complexion that gets even paler when he's afraid. Because of Cole's thinness, his face appears slightly bony and prominent.

Cole has somewhat short dark brown hair. In the winter his hair appears black, although if you look closely you can see that it is still just an extremely dark brown. Cole's hair grows relatively fast in the front, so his eyes are normally covered a little by his hair. Cole does nothing to keep his hair out of his eyes, although as a small child he used to. Cole stopped once he realized how idiotic it looked to have his entire forehead exposed.

Cole has pure brown eyes that are several shades lighter than his hair. It's rumored that a single glare from Cole's eyes can quiet a whole room, although he tries his best to dispel these rumors. He's never said that it isn't true, though. Cole's eyes also almost radiate intelligence, and no one could ever guess how short-sighted he is. Cole normally wears contacts, although from time to time you might see him wearing glasses or neither.

And now, onto Cole's clothing. His attire is rather plain. It's normally just a plain white or red T-shirt and slightly faded jeans that have seen a lot of use. He wears a silver and gold digital wristwatch on his left wrist and an Xtransceiver on his right. Cole also has black running shoes on his feet and wears plain white socks, as well as a backpack containing his laptop on his back.

History: Cole grew up in Nimbasa City, the heart of entertainment in Unova. He had a buisnessman father who paid almost no attention to anything but work and the stock market most of the time, including his wife and children. Cole had two brothers, Kaleb and Caden Jacobson. Kaleb wasn't exactly nice, and constantly made fun of and bullied his two younger brothers. Cole was the middle child, so he got the least attention of them all, despite being a straight-A child and pretty good with a guitar. Cole's little brother looked up to him, but he rarely had any time to himself. Cole's mother was a famous Coordinator and was almost always away at the Pokemon Musical or in a different region competing in Contests, so Cole pretty much raised himself. He was fine with that.

Then, when he was eleven years old, something changed his life for the better. Cole was exploring the nearby Lostlorn Forest with his little brother when he stumbled upon a half-dead baby Zorua lying sick in the grass. Cole made it his personal job to ensure the Zorua lived, and brought the Pokemon food, water, and medicine every day until it was healthy enough to take care of itself.

A year later, a half-asleep Cole opened his front door in the middle of the night to find a smiling Zorua looking up at him from the porch. Cole caught the friendly Pokemon and made a bed for it in his backyard, naming the Zorua "Illusion" to match its hobby of changing physical form to random things, even a fire hydrant at one point.

Over the years, Cole and Illusion battled each gym and the Elite Four. He never caught any other Pokemon, as his Zorua was perfectly capable of taking on any opposing Trainer or wild Pokemon, even the Fighting-types. Soon Zorua evolved into a Zoroark, and Cole simply dominated the rest of the gyms, the Elite Four, and Alder, making Cole the new Champion of Unova.

Hometown: Nimbasa City, Unova

Pokemon:
Species: Zoroark "Illusion"
Level: 80
Gender: Male
Appearace: Same as normal
Personality: Despite being Dark-type, Illusion is very noble and will do anything to help someone fight evil. He is fiercely protective of those he loves, and will stop at nothing to protect his Trainer. Illusion is also extremely bold, and often tries to be the center of attention. Despite this, Illusion is a smart Pokemon and knows when he is at a disadvantage.

Username: Oblivion (Formerly Ombrare)

Name: Dusza Koning
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Trainer or Coordinator: Trainer
Motto: "I do not stand for good or evil. I do not stand for black or white. I stand for what is right, even if I stand alone."

Personality: Dusza is definitely an interesting character. He can come off as distanced and melancholy, but in truth, he is a truly compassionate individual. He's very quiet and frequently outspoken, but when he speaks, he speaks with words of deep thought.

He sees the difference between what is accepted and what is right, and always tries to see the light within the dark, even if the light is what many consider the dark. He does not believe that people should changing to conform in society. He believes that people should embrace their differences, and learn to find happiness within the tragedy and hatred that shroud most other people.

And he also has a particular in ghosts, seeing similarities between he and themselves. Outcast by the majority of the world, and yet, they generally have no malevolent intent. To put it in his own words, "spirits are the gray in a world of black and white."

Appearance: He has fair skin complexion, eyes of a dark gray, and straight black hair. His outfit normally consists of a black longcoat, with an undershirt of a dark purple color. He also wears black pants, boots, and dark purple fingerless gloves with some sort of arcane symbol on them.

History: Dusza had a troubled past. Having been orphaned soon after he was born, he had never seen the point behind many of the things other people his age took for granted, which attracted ire and sardonic behavior from his peers. His brothers in particular had supplied them with the majority of the ammunition. He started to steadily retreat towards the fringes of society. He had views that no one else would understand, and even if they could, they chose not to.

So over the years, instead of attempting to fit himself within them, he chose to stay where he was, deflecting all attempts at harassment, no matter how intense they started to become. His resolve was unwavering, and almost everyone else was confused. He simply refused to fit. No matter how much was put into giving him a place in society, his resistance made it all but impossible. He had no friends, except for a few ghost Pokemon he had met during his travels. No real occupation. No permanent home to call his own. But that was how he preferred it.

He later received a message from someone named Professor Soul, about a new invention that had been made. It definitely piqued his interest. He finally decided to come out of hiding and see what this entire thing was about.

Hometown: Ecruteak of the Johto Region

Pokemon

Species: Rotom
Level: 76
Gender: Male

Personality: This Pokemon takes mischief and amps it up to insane levels. It's very hyperactive and energetic, and you rarely see it without an ear-to-ear grin. Its favorite pastime is pulling pranks on people, much to Dusza's dismay. He doesn't really mean any harm, but on occasion he can get carried away. But he's really a friendly little creature, and he definitely does a good job of lightening the mood.

History: During his travels, Dusza came across an abandoned warehouse, and found a Rotom wreaking havoc amongst the various electronics still left there. However, as fate would have it, two thugs were also observing the creature, and attempted to capture the Pokemon for profit. Dusza intercepted them, and drove them off. Rotom, knowing that his current hideout was no longer safe, decided to accompany him.

Extra: Grey is amazing. But, I have to admit, green is such a nicer color.

Don't mind me; just reserving a spot (if you will allow me to do so).

Character's name: Lai Ming

Gender: "Hard to believe, but I'm actually a chick."

Age: 15

Sexuality: "EEWWWWWW!!! LOVE IS GROOOOSSSS!!!"

Trainer or Coordinator: Trainer

Personality: Lai is life itself-unexpected, insane and the worst or best thing that's ever happened to you, depending on the situation. She is constantly hyperactive, exploding all over the place with energy, like a child on a sugar rush. Makes sense, seeing as she is just like a child, and not just appearance wise- she is stubborn, rash, shameless, obnoxious, easily angered, hot-headed, reckless, impatient, fun-loving, always laughing and always enthusiastic and vocal about anything-be it eating cake ("YAYAY I LOVE CAKE!"), not getting enough sleep ("RAAAGEEE!!! I'M SO TIRED!!!) or just having nice weather ("IT'S SO SUNNY TODAY!!!!"). She just can't help but be vocal about what she's currently thinking or feeling, which is why it doesn't take a genius to work out what Lai's like. Lai acknowledges this comparison by referring to herself as 'just a kid'.

However, because Lai is so childish, she is also a bit naive. When Team Plasma first began preaching about Pokemon being tortured by being kept in Pokeballs and all that rubbish, Lai, being the naive idiot, fell for their plan immediately, and was one of the first to let her Pokemon go. But it's just who she is, and doesn't regret doing it. She'll do anything to make her friends, family or Pokemon happy, and hates to see them sad. And that was one of the things she felt she had to do to make her Pokemon happy-to let them truly live their lives the way Pokemon should, roaming the lands freely.

Lai also isn't very sensitive, and doesn't have many solutions for people's problems, seeing as 'Just smile~!' doesn't always work. She's sweeter than a cherry on top of a cake, but she's never serious, so there's no point in listening anyway. She gets bored easily, and when she does, tends to cause havoc, chaos and trouble, and it doesn't help that she's quite clumsy. Lai also isn't a very good liar, but that doesn't even matter, since Lai always announces whatever she's done, as some form of an accomplishment. For example;

You: "Who took all the teabags?! I'd been saving them for years, I had them flown in from Johto years ago!"

Lai: "Me! I did! I threw them into the river 'cause I wanted to see if the water would turn green!"

You: "..."

Lai can also actually be scarily aggressive and vicious, using her full extent of her Pokemon training and rock-hard muscles for an actual fight, but it's usually for defensive motives, such as protecting friends and family or being threatened by someone obviously powerful. However, on other occasions, a light nip or swipe across the face usually gives strangers the message to piss off.

Appearance: Lai is short and thin, standing at exactly 5ft with quite a muscular build. Her large, round eyes that are always sparkling with excitementare almost the same colour as her short, spiky hair-a dark, rich chocolate-brown. Her face has quite a child-like appearance in general, with a cute little button nose, a slightly round face and a bright, wide smile stretched across her face, revealing her teeth-a set of pearly white gnashers that would almost be a perfect set if it weren't for her crooked incisors.

Lai also has a habit of sticking out her tongue and pulling down the bottom of her eye. If you look carefully, you'll see the sides and the tip of her tongue are slightly jagged, and she'll explain that her teeth, along with her nails, are so sharp she always cuts accidently cuts herself on them. They don't call her 'Dog Teeth' for nothing (And when they say that, they're talking about her nails).

Because her appearance is so child-like, she could easily pass for a boy, what with the short hair and lack of any feminine features. She has been mistaken for a 'young lad' on more than one occasion, which Lai doesn't seem to mind at all, but the more popular situation is the 'lost child', where strangers come up to her and ask if she's lost and searching for her parents. At this point, it's best to back away before Dog Teeth explodes.

Clothes-wise, Lai doesn't really put much thought into what she throws in the morning-as long as it smells alright, everything's just fine. Her attire usually consists of distressed/frayed/ripped denim shorts that are so big on her that they hit her knees, with a big, baggy t-shirt that has some form of a witty logo or catchphrase on it, such as 'I rove rice'. She also has one of her older brothers' hoodies in her neon green rucksack in case it suddenly gets cold. She wears big, boxy trainers on her feet in flashy neon colours, such as orange, red, purple or green, but usually red.

History: Lai was born and raised in Goldenrod City, Johto. Her family wasn't exactly the richest family in the city (In fact, more like the opposite), but neverless, she lived happily in their cramped apartment above their takeaway with her four older brothers, parents and grandparents. Lai spent most of her childhood going to Pokemon school for half a day and then coming home to help work in the takeaway by answering the phones and taking orders seeing as nobody trusted her not to mess up the cooking, and then going to the Goldenrod underground late at night to battle with her friends. This cycle was be endless, as she or none of her brothers didn't have enough money to go on a Pokemon trainer and had to stay to help their parents work (FREE AZN LABOUR! LOL JKS).

However, when Lai turned 11 years old, after much begging and pleading, her grandparents finally realised she had potential as a skilled Pokemon trainer, and gave her the money to go on her own Pokemon journey. She caught the magnet train from Goldenrod to Saffron City and begun her journey in Kanto, and travelled all throughout the region. Because she earned so much prize money from battles, Lai travelled through several regions, and explored many places, but only ever caught six Pokemon-three from Kanto, one from Johto, one from Hoenn and one from Unova (Lai never went to Sinnoh because she claimed it was too cold, and only travelled down south).

Pokemon
Species: Scraggy

Nickname: CHICKUHN!

Level: 77

Gender: Male

Appearance: Chickuhn is a bit plump since he's always 'carried'. He also holds an everstone, so he can never evolve. Other than that, an ordinary Scraggy.

Personality: Chickuhn is what can be called 'the land form of Slowpoke', what with being incredibly dim and not very intelligent. It does have the potential to be a devastatingly powerful Pokemon, but is just too...moronic. And not to mention lazy. However, it is very loyal to Lai, and has a surprisingly strong bond with her. Why surprisingly? Well, to her, Chickuhn just seems to be a stuffed toy to carry around everywhere. The only time Chickuhn is ever seen nowadays is when he's been dragged along by Lai, floating just off the ground and clutching Lai's hand, like a tiny child holding on to a helium filled balloon. However, it seems that Chickuhn doesn't seem to mind this treatment. He probably even likes it, being carried around all the time. Probably why he's a bit on the podgy side.

Lai also has a lot of other pet names for Chickuhn, usually along the lines of 'dumbass' and 'retard', but it all just seems to go in one ear and out the other. She loves him a ton really, but it's a shocker the Pokemon's not deaf by now, what with Lai not being able to turn her volume button down.



History: Met on Route 1 of the Unova region, there was no escape. Because Chickuhn was such a dumbass, as he couldn't be arsed to move from where he was sitting, so he got owned in less than five seconds, capture complete.

When Team Plasma first began preaching about Pokemon being tortured by being kept in Pokeballs and all that rubbish, Lai, being the naive idiot, fell for their plan immediately, and was one of the first to let her Pokemon go. But it's just who she is, and doesn't regret doing it. She'll do anything to make her friends, family or Pokemon happy, and hates to see them sad. And that was one of the things she felt she had to do to make her Pokemon happy-to let them truly live their lives the way Pokemon should, roaming the lands freely.

Lai also isn't very sensitive, and doesn't have many solutions for people's problems, seeing as 'Just smile~!' doesn't always work. She's sweeter than a cherry on top of a cake, but she's never serious, so there's no point in listening anyway. She gets bored easily, and when she does, tends to cause havoc, chaos and trouble, and it doesn't help that she's quite clumsy. Lai also isn't a very good liar, but that doesn't even matter, since Lai always announces whatever she's done, as some form of an accomplishment. For example;

You: "Who took all the teabags?! I'd been saving them for years, I had them flown in from Johto years ago!"

Lai: "Me! I did! I threw them into the river 'cause I wanted to see if the water would turn green!"

You: "..."

Lai can also actually be scarily aggressive and vicious, using her full extent of her Pokemon training and rock-hard muscles for an actual fight, but it's usually for defensive motives, such as protecting friends and family or being threatened by someone obviously powerful. However, on other occasions, a light nip or swipe across the face usually gives strangers the message to piss off.

Appearance: Lai is short and thin, standing at exactly 5ft with quite a muscular build. Her large, round eyes that are always sparkling with excitementare almost the same colour as her short, spiky hair-a dark, rich chocolate-brown. Her face has quite a child-like appearance in general, with a cute little button nose, a slightly round face and a bright, wide smile stretched across her face, revealing her teeth-a set of pearly white gnashers that would almost be a perfect set if it weren't for her crooked incisors.

Lai also has a habit of sticking out her tongue and pulling down the bottom of her eye. If you look carefully, you'll see the sides and the tip of her tongue are slightly jagged, and she'll explain that her teeth, along with her nails, are so sharp she always cuts accidently cuts herself on them. They don't call her 'Dog Teeth' for nothing (And when they say that, they're talking about her nails).

Because her appearance is so child-like, she could easily pass for a boy, what with the short hair and lack of any feminine features. She has been mistaken for a 'young lad' on more than one occasion, which Lai doesn't seem to mind at all, but the more popular situation is the 'lost child', where strangers come up to her and ask if she's lost and searching for her parents. At this point, it's best to back away before Dog Teeth explodes.

Clothes-wise, Lai doesn't really put much thought into what she throws in the morning-as long as it smells alright, everything's just fine. Her attire usually consists of distressed/frayed/ripped denim shorts that are so big on her that they hit her knees, with a big, baggy t-shirt that has some form of a witty logo or catchphrase on it, such as 'I rove rice'. She also has one of her older brothers' hoodies in her neon green rucksack in case it suddenly gets cold. She wears big, boxy trainers on her feet in flashy neon colours, such as orange, red, purple or green, but usually red.

History: Lai was born and raised in Goldenrod City, Johto. Her family wasn't exactly the richest family in the city (In fact, more like the opposite), but neverless, she lived happily in their cramped apartment above their takeaway with her four older brothers, parents and grandparents. Lai spent most of her childhood going to Pokemon school for half a day and then coming home to help work in the takeaway by answering the phones and taking orders seeing as nobody trusted her not to mess up the cooking, and then going to the Goldenrod underground late at night to battle with her friends. This cycle was be endless, as she or none of her brothers didn't have enough money to go on a Pokemon trainer and had to stay to help their parents work (FREE AZN LABOUR! LOL JKS).

However, when Lai turned 11 years old, after much begging and pleading, her grandparents finally realised she had potential as a skilled Pokemon trainer, and gave her the money to go on her own Pokemon journey. She caught the magnet train from Goldenrod to Saffron City and begun her journey in Kanto, and travelled all throughout the region. Because she earned so much prize money from battles, Lai travelled through several regions, and explored many places, but only ever caught six Pokemon-three from Kanto, one from Johto, one from Hoenn and one from Unova (Lai never went to Sinnoh because she claimed it was too cold, and only travelled down south).

Hometown: Goldenrod City, Johto

Extra: I remember when you were obsessed with Bidoof =') Okay lolol jk, -Gray- be aweshumz~

Pokemon
Species: Scraggy

Nickname: CHICKUHN!

Level: 77

Gender: Male

Appearance: Chickuhn is a bit plump since he's always 'carried'. He also holds an everstone, so he can never evolve. Other than that, an ordinary Scraggy.

Personality: Chickuhn is what can be called 'the land form of Slowpoke', what with being incredibly dim and not very intelligent. It does have the potential to be a devastatingly powerful Pokemon, but is just too...moronic. And not to mention lazy. However, it is very loyal to Lai, and has a surprisingly strong bond with her. Why surprisingly? Well, to her, Chickuhn just seems to be a stuffed toy to carry around everywhere. The only time Chickuhn is ever seen nowadays is when he's been dragged along by Lai, floating just off the ground and clutching Lai's hand, like a tiny child holding on to a helium filled balloon. However, it seems that Chickuhn doesn't seem to mind this treatment. He probably even likes it, being carried around all the time. Probably why he's a bit on the podgy side.

Lai also has a lot of other pet names for Chickuhn, usually along the lines of 'dumbass' and 'retard', but it all just seems to go in one ear and out the other. She loves him a ton really, but it's a shocker the Pokemon's not deaf by now, what with Lai not being able to turn her volume button down.



History: Met on Route 1 of the Unova region, there was no escape. Because Chickuhn was such a dumbass, as he couldn't be arsed to move from where he was sitting, so he got owned in less than five seconds, capture complete.

Accepted! I wouldn't call it obsessed (some people would, though). I was just tired of everyone hating on the little derpy-thing. I Pokesav'd a lvl100 Bidoof with Huge Power and 31 in all IVs, EV trained in Attack and Defense. You get the idea.

Can I reserve a spot, please and thank you? :D

Sure. You're Reserved.

Three more spots, everyone! And because so many people are reserved, I'm officially taking back what I said here:

However, if all other slots are taken up the Start-up will begin without you.

Instead, I'll wait for everyone who is reserved to finish their SUs.
