Sign Ups A Sinnoh Tale (Seeking 2 Players)

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

Hello Bulbagarden RPers. I'm seeking two users to accompany me on a journey through the Sinnoh region! If you're into this type of RP, its pretty much your average follow a group of trainers on their journey through a region as they catch Pokemon, train them, compete in the league, and even find themselves wrapped up in a Team Galactic plot to lure out Giratina. What challenges will await them on their journey?

UPDATE: I just wanted to say that if more than two people DO sign up and if one user drops at some point, anyone who posted a sign up can take that spot to keep the RP going if you really wish to. I wanna do everything I can to keep this RP going.

Rules
-All BMFG rules apply
-Please try to be active. I'd prefer to RP with users who are quite active, also I'm keeping this at a very low amount so there's less people we have to wait on.
-If more than two people sign up, I'll use a randomize to help me decide who I'll let tag along.
-Battles and possible contests will be done in anime style.
-Please do not godmod.
-Yes double will be allowed. If two people wish to have a Shinx on their team, then its fine.
-You can have two extra characters to serve as rivals for our main characters. For now, just fill out one sign out and talk to me after the RP starts if you want to have a rival for our characters.

My Sign Up

Spoiler

Aha I'll just reuse a character....
Name: Justin Gaines
Gender: Male
Age: 13
Hometown: Sunyshore City
Starter: Chimchar

Appearance: Justin is about 4'9" and he has a very slender build with a light skintone, slightly underweight as well. He has blonde hair that is styled somewhat and he has a set of green eyes. Justin typically wears a white tshirt with a red and black plaid short sleeved shirt over it, also wearing a pair of brown cargo shorts. He also wears a pair of black and white sneakers.

Personality: Justin is typically an easy going adventurous teen who is very eager and open to meet others. He tends to be very caring of his friends and Pokemon which he often has a soft spot for, also having a certain hatred for those who abuse, mistreat, and don't care about Pokemon. While Justin is usually good-natured, caring, and kind boy he can be a bit too bold for his own good. He seems to have trouble letting go of certain things and can be a little sensitive at times. He also seems to be so focused on his goal that he forgets that he is his own person and that he shouldn't feel the need to live up to some reputation others have made out for him.

History: Justin comes from a rather accomplished family, being the son of a powerful trainer and a former top coordinator, as well as having a brother who is a very talented and strong trainer. His three passions begun at an early age, living in Ecruteak City. His love of battling stemmed from continually watching his family train with their Pokemon. His love of adventure came from his curiosity as a child he explored the outskirts of Ecruteak City. He also was very friendly and caring towards Pokemon he met on the outskirts and this made him want his own Pokemon. When his parents saw this at a young age, they sent Justin away to the Violet City Pokemon Academy.

At the academy, Justin quickly learned about what it takes to be a trainer and he was shown to be easily able to connect to most Pokemon the trainers were given in the school to practice with. Despite his ability to connect, he was continually pressured by other students about the reputation his family had because of their accomplishments. He felt as if he had to prove he was as good as his family and he was usually outsmarted by the more harsh students. He picked up the basic skills of Pokemon training and battles and he managed to pass the academy's program. This left him a little frustrated, realizing he had such a reputation to live up to. It didn't help that his older brother always pressured him, doubted him, and looked down upon him. It really seemed to affect Justin, though he couldn't give up...he had to prove himself somehow...

When Justin turned 13 he decided he'd finally set out on his journey and though his parents suggested he'd go to New Bark Town to pick up his starter and travel through Johto, he decided against that. He wanted to see some different sights, having traveled around Johto a bit with his mother while she was being sent to film on a certain location. He decided he'd travel to the Sinnoh region to compete in its league, explore the vast region, and hopefully prove to himself and others like his brother that he could be as good as his family, though he seems to forget that he is his own person and shouldn't feel forced to live up to any reputation.

 

[Taengoo]

Name: Flynn Vendetta
Gender: Female
Age: 14
Hometown: Snowpoint City
Starter: Piplup c:
Appearance: Flynn is a fairly tall girl, with reddish-brown long hair and fair skin. Her eyes are a jade-turquoise swirl, often drifting off into space. She has many freckles spread across her nose and cheeks, a trait she inherited from her mother. Her daily wardrobe usually consists of a white shirt, dark gray jeans, a blue vest, and a dark brown fedora. She is often mistaken for a male, due to both her name and her clothing.
Personality: Flynn, while being an outgoing person, is shy and quiet when she isn't about her friends. Due to this, she has anxiety, and is easily scared. However, she has just as many brave moments as she does her frightened ones. She will protect her friends and Pokémon from outside harm, thus having a reason to go on. Very humorous and carefree once she's having a good time, Flynn is definitely a friend you'd love having around.
History: Although being born and raised in the coldest place in Sinnoh, Flynn had enjoyed a rather simple life. Simply put she had Drake, her mother's Garchomp, and her sister named Ventus. Ironically, Flynn had always hated the cold, so Drake played a lot with her when she was a child to keep her company. Ventus, at the time, was traveling to the distant Johto region, discovering new Pokémon myths to look into. Ventus, although you couldn't quite tell, loved learning about Legendary Pokémon. Flynn's mother, whom passed away at her birth, had left her beloved Garchomp to care for her younger child. And while Ventus occasionally stopped by to say hello, Drake was Flynn's only real friend. When she turned twelve, she decided she wanted to journey Sinnoh like her mother once did - however, harsh blizzards had cancelled any flights to Sandgem, and going on foot would prove extremely difficult. So, she caught a flight two years later, at present age fourteen, with none but her mother's Garchomp accompanying her. After recieving her first Pokémon, she didn't want to let go of the Garchomp, but Ventus had come by to return Drake home. Flynn and Ventus had bad blood between them - it mostly had to do with her big sister neglecting her. However, her sister's Pokémon were very powerful, and sometimes she was forced into decisions, so Flynn didn't argue. She began her journey with a heavy heart. She wouldn't likely see Drake again for months, even a year. But time would eventually tell.

Your sign up looks great to me. I'm kinda wondering how much people sign up, though knowing me, I'll probably end up starting as soon as I see two sign ups aha. I'm unsure if I'd really wanna do a four person RP because they're a little more likely to die I feel, though they can help make things more exciting and they are nice for keeping the gender ratio even aha. Also I kinda wonder if someone will actually choose Turtwig, though if you don't want to, its fine. We can have a rival come along and take Turtwig if not.

 

[Heroic Sociopath]

Name: Vincent Davia
Gender: Male
Age: 14
Hometown: Sunyshore City
Starter: Starly, if you please. Otherwise, Turtwig
Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: Vincent is a happy-go-lucky kind of guy. He's easygoing, and doesn't sweat the small stuff. He's a bit on the impulsive side, and often does things on a whim. He's also very outgoing. He often will strike up a conversation in waiting rooms at the doctor's office or in long lines. He likes to take risks, and is a bit of a thrill seeker. He's the type of guy who, when he goes to a theme park, makes a beeline for the scariest roller coaster.
History: Vincent's parents were knocked out by a rogue Jigglypuff. He vowed to become a Pokemon trainer to make it so pokemon stop attacking humans. He also vowed revenge on said Jigglypuff. After finding out where the Jigglypuff lived, he went to its home and gave it a stern talking to.

The history is a bit too dramatic for me and it is rather short. Also I would prefer a location within the Pokemon Universe to be put down as the hometown.

 

[Heroic Sociopath]

Okay, he now lives in Sunyshore City, and I made his history a little better.

 

[LuxrayOfTheWild]

Okay that's a little better.

Update! Since its been 4 days and nobody has attempted to sign up, I'm gonna be starting this on the weekend.
