Yeah another journey RP, so sue me. Well actually don't because you have like no grounds anyway plus you have to pay for costs and then likely I'll win, so you will have to pay for my court costs as well.

Anyway none of my RPs have worked out but I never give up because if I do then I might as well cry in a corner or something and that's totally not me at all. So back to the point. This journey RP would be pretty simple, get Pokemon, meet people and travel with people. Doesn't seem that tough but what makes it different to the rest? Not much actually, So it is simple with latter villains and you may want to join them, I guess.

However the niche is that you don't get to decide on your Pokemon. Just have to pick a random number between the parameters I give you and there are your six. You can evolve them or do whatever with them, you don't even have to catch those six. The challenge is to space them enough to catch all six and to see what you can do with that team creatively.

Sign-ups are open because I assume people will drop out.

I'm actually impressed I came up with a title.


Rules

1. No Flaming.
2. No Bunnying.
3. No Tennising.
4. No uber-powerfulness I guess. Don't know how you can be but eh/
5. Romance is accept obviously but if you gonna go long then play The Sims cause nothing past a make-out here. Unless you are so good at making it subtle...I'm just saying.
6. Don't argue with moi, accept my decision because I'm pretty.
7. A Reserve is only allowed with a simple reason - I don't like reserves but you know just take your time.
8. No gory violence. Violence is fine, totally fine. As long as their are no blood or organs coming out of their body or body parts chopped off. Don't know why that would happen though
9. All BMGF rules still apply.
10. Be Active or I'll hunt you down and ummm talk about my hopes and dreams or make you drink a special alcoholic drink that I named "The Lyrebird Knockout" :lick:
10. If you read this then say 'Hi' or 'Lyrebird' somewhere. I prefer Hi because it is a greeting.

No problem. I'll just update the first post.

Now I'll shall do my sign up. The Lyrebird Sign up.

Name - Daphne Shepard

Gender - Female

Age - 15

Class - Co-ordinator.

Place of Origin - Hoenn

Appearance - Daphne Shepard, a stylish teenager. She changes her outfits often so there is no point going into that. She has honey blonde hair that is all wavy and sleek, going all the way down just past her shoulders. She has brown eyes which make it seem that Daphne has black eyes. She is at around 5'8" and pretty fit and thin-average. I guess you can say that she has a slinky appearance with nice figure. Daphne has also a middle sized bust which kind of noticeable but that depends on the type of clothing that she wears. Overall she is a very pretty woman that like to change clothes.

Personality/History - A very self-reliant woman who is hardworking and has high IQ when it comes to the contest field. Daphne isn't the most intelligent out there or the most talented but she makes up for it with hard worker. She is not shy and will talk to people which shows that she has social skills and love to interact with people to get as much information as possible. Daphne is also very observant which goes back to her Co-ordination/Contest IQ. Her weakness though is that she is an absolute romantic and will not date until she meets the perfect guy. Another weakness is the lack of intelligence and talent and also a bit blunt when it comes to fashion. Daphne adores fashion and she will stay on the trends and sometimes will act snobbish. She doesn't she herself as beautiful but she knows that other people see her that way. Daphne loves the outdoors as well.

Skills - Can Cook
- Can Surf, swim
- Social skills and reads body language and fashion smarts

Numbers - Starter: 169
Team: 60, 43, 53, 14, 1


Please sign-up guys. It is open for everyone.

Name: Jordan Gray
Gender: Male
Age: 15

Class: Trainer

Place of Origin: Sinnoh

Appearance: Jordan has black colored hair that he usually keeps in a spiky fashion, at other times it may changed to messy but it all depends on whether he's not lazy enough to just leave it as it goes. He has brown colored eyes that shine with innocence and confidence. Jordan is of average height and weight, he has an athletic built along with fit and well trained legs. He likes to change his clothes often but usually prefers to wear his signature black vest along with his pendant which has a ruby stuck in the center.

Personality/History: Jordan is very confident and outgoing, he's got a lot of determination and likes to compete with other people a lot, something that usually bothers others since he always feels like he has to be the best at what he does. This was relevant when he was growing up as well, from the time he was young and living in Juvelife his parents raised him so that he would do his best and strive to be better. When he was 10 years old he began doing track and field and ended up obtaining a few prices; however, he always kept the dream of becoming a great Trainer one day and reaching glory. Once he turned 15 years old his parents gave him permission to go on his journey and so he did.

Skills:

Is good at sports and can run really fast, has sharp reflexes and great concentration, though he might be hardheaded at times.

Know champing and how to climb trees.

Numbers: Starter (120)

Team: 2, 7, 46, 25

Also, Hi Lyrebird!
 
Hi Lyrebird.

Name - Mauve Banzett
Gender - Male
Age - 16
Class - Trainer

Place of Origin - Sinnoh

Appearance - Mauve stands at 5'9", with black hair, and purple-dyed bangs that frame his face. His eyes are small, gray and intimidating. The reason being is that he usually looks like he's glaring. He has an average build, and his skin is a bit pale. His grin is eerily similar to that of a Gengar. Mauve's clothing consists of the colors black, red and purple, with the exception of his jeans, being dark blue or gray. Black soes are always a necessity, and he usually wears two spinner chain rings, one on each index finger.

Personality/History - Mauve is a frightening individual. He spends his time writing horror stories and posting them on forums online, when not reading up on Pokemon. He grew up in Veilstone City, with only his mother, Sevreen, to raise him. She was a top coordinator in her time, but unlike her, Mauve was more into the battling scene. He didn't have a large group of friends growing up, but that didn't bother him. He was more into his studies than making friends at that point in his life. He'd usually play with his mother's Hydreigon, named "Maleficent." Sevreen, unlike most parents, didn't allow Mauve to leave home on a Pokemon journey until he was sixteen, and Mauve had accepted that. He knew it was too young to be out and about with a creature that could spew fire or shadow balls.

Skills -
1. Able to recite Pokedex entries of MOST Pokemon, if needed
2. Able to read books fairly quickly, with his years of reading Pokemon texts
3. Able to... write stories?

Numbers - Starter: 69 Team: 3, 13, 96, 24
 
Name: Emily Bennett
Age: 16 (Birthday: May 9)
Gender: Female
Class: Trainer

Appearance: Emily stands at around 5'6 in height, and weighs around 120 pounds. She has a slim, A-line figure. She also has slightly tanned skin with small freckles, Peridot green eyes, and pale pink lips. Her bust is around that of a B cup, which helps her when she wears clothes that hug her body. Her hair is a strawberry blonde, and is cut in a short, pixie, with a side fringe. She usually wears bright colors such as pink, light green, pale blue, etc. She loves short-shorts of the denim material, and loves her grey and pink tennis shoes. Her favorite accessories are her silver locket that she wears around her neck. She also wears a pink headband with a white daisy on the side.

Place of Origin: Lilycove City, Hoenn


Personality/History: Emily is usually upbeat, and cheerful. She tries to find optimism even if the situation is bleak. She does want to prove herself to her family, especially her older sister, who is a coordinator in Johto. She sometimes lets her rivalry with her sister get her confidence and self-esteem down. She just wants to prove that she is good for something. She loves trying to find romance, but most guys just pass her by. She wasn't really the popular one in her family, or the smart one. She always felt inferior to her older sister. She also wants to earn respect from her older sister, and parents.
Emily was born in Lilycove City, Hoenn. She was homeschooled after being bullied in primary school by people who made fun of her due to not having any "gifted" talents, a southern accent (that she picked up from her mother, who used to live in Celadon City, Kanto). Her sister had coordination. What did she have? Nothing. So, she began trying to become a Pokemon trainer at the age of 10. However, her parents wouldn't allow it as they felt she was too immature, and wasn't ready for what the Pokemon world could give to her. She began trying to befriend the local Pokemon that belonged to her neighbors, and they seemed to get along with her. However, one of her neighbor's moody Mightyena got annoyed with Emily pulling its tail and it bit her hand, leaving a small scar. That made her frightened of Mightyena ever since. When Emily became of age, she snuck out of her home, and left Lilycove, with only a backpack of her belongings, and a heart full of dreams.

Determined
Fast Runner, agile
Friendly towards everyone and every Pokemon she meets

Starter Pokemon: 88

Name -Rafe Seraph
Gender - Male
Age - 15
Class - Coordinator
Place of Origin - Somewhere in Johto and then Ecruteak City, Johto
Appearance - Long jet black hair that reaches to his knees and emerald green eyes. He stands at six feet with an average frame all muscle. His hair is always worn down, with the only exception being occasionally tied back in a low ponytail for special occasions. Generally he wears long-sleeved white or black button up shirts or just plain long sleeved, black jeans and boots meant for traveling. When traveling he has a black cloak with hood on as opposed to a jacket or cape for warmth.
Personality - Rafe acts cold towards others upon meeting them at first but once he gets to know them he warms up to them and will be more cheerful smiling more often than he does before. He is angered easily by things that he finds wrong but is able to retain himself from acting out. He is very caring towards pokemon and children and shines the brightest when making either smile. He grew up not using technology and has trouble using anything other than a phone.
History-Rafe grew up with his grandparents somewhere in the more rural areas of Johto until he was 13 when he then went to live with his mother in Ecruteak City. His father was in and out of his life along with his half brother who just so happened to be to be born the same day as him. He loves to perform for people and make them smile so when his mother said she was going on a business trip to Sinnoh he asked to go with her so that he could start his journey as a coordinator. When he was young he played with wild pokemon often and got most of his knowledge about pokemon from that.
Skills - Athletic. He is very strong with a lot of stamina.
Knowledgeable about pokemon. He can remember things about pokemon easily.
Patient/Calm/Controlled. Even though he can anger easily or anxious/frustrated, he can calm himself down and think through it.
Numbers - Starters: 7 Team:10, 21, 38, 62, 43


HI LYREBIRD
 
Accepted - I'll PM list and update first post.

Now one more person and I can start up this show.
 
Name: Jerry Gregory Raffe
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Class: Trainer. He also wears comfy shorts.
Place of Origin: Lilycove City, Hoenn
Appearance: Jerry's a bit lazy, but he also doesn't eat much outside of leaves. So he's pretty thin, with a tall, lanky body. His skin is tan from all the time he spends relaxing in the sun, and his coppery hair is a bit long, since he lacks the drive to keep getting it cut. He always has a big smile on his face.
Personality: Jerry's a bit of a slacker. He only became a trainer because it seemed like it wouldn't be too much work. He has found he likes his Pokemon, so that has gotten him off his butt. He is a very nice guy, and also very humble. He simply doesn't see the need to prove himself all that much. He's mostly just gunning for championship because it's an adventure.
Skills
-He can extend his neck. He uses this skill to eat the leaves off of trees. It is very nutritious.
-Has gotten relaxing in the sun down to an art form.
-Can build hammocks out of nearly anything.
Numbers: Starter: 99 Team: 14, 79, 5.76, 17
Oh, and hi Lyrebird.

Sorry man, trainers don't get to wear comfy shorts. Hahha

You're in. I'll start it after work I guess. I'll PM teams now and update post.
 
We are still accepting people. It isn't closed.
 
Name - Noah Pritchard

Gender - Male

Age - 16

Class - Traveler that likes comfy pants

Place of Origin - Snowpoint, Sinnoh

Appearance - Noah is a 6'1" male, with brown hair, a square jaw, and a pair of mismatched earrings. His eyes have a long and knowing look which often makes people mistake him for older. His face is neither a scowl nor smile but has a calm demeanor. He always dresses in a simple button up shirt (different colors but always similar style), a pair of faded jeans and running shoes. Lanky and tall, his belt is merely a long steel chain that has different pokeballs attached at different points

Personality/History - Noah grew up on the lake front of Lake Acuity. His actual house was in Snowpoint but he spent most of his time on the lakefront. It was here where he cultivated his calm persona that he carries himself with.

His household life was a direct contrast to his personality as it was always bustling with news of the successes of his older brother in the field of Pokemon Research. Noah's parents expected Noah to follow his brother's footsteps and get a degree as well so Noah was always held to the standards that his older sibling set. He wasn't built for the school life however and liked to explore the temple at Snowpoint, Lake Acuity, and other places in the town much to the gym leader's annoyance.

When Noah's schooling years started coming to a close, instead of heading to an University like his parents wanted him to, he decided to explore Sinnoh. His parents protested vehemently to this and told Noah that they wouldn't be supporting him on this adventure but their words fell on deaf ears. Noah made up his mind and left the next morning.

With a suitcase full of clothes in one hand and nothing to lose, Noah embarked on his adventure.

Skills - Can remain calm in tough situations
Slow to anger
Peacemaker, he prefers to talk things out than resort to violence.

Starter - 77

Team - 3, 47
 
Hi! SUs still open right?

Name: Jeremy Darius
Gender: ♂
Age: 14
Class: Trainer

Place of Origin: Canalave City, Sinnoh

Appearance: At 5'8", Jeremy is fairly, but not overly, tall for his age. He is somewhat muscular and, while not nessecarily a stick figure, is in no way overweight. His silver/gray hair is short and somewhat curly, and he can easily grow a mustache(though he shaves daily.) He always wears a Mystic Water around his neck for safekeeping, and he dons two wristbands, each with a keychain that holds a detachable guitar pick. He totes around a large bag whic and a cello case, so in addition to his adventure bag he periodically has his hands full.

In terms of clothing, nothing is particularly special. He interchanges between a silver and a blue hoodie daily, and consistently wears black slacks and black dress shoes. Attached to his pants is a special microphone that records, overlaps, and reproduces multiple clips of sound at impressive qualities; he uses this to record his songs.

Personality/Backstory: From a very young age Jeremy was exposed to the wonders of music. Though he took no particular lessons, he self taught himself the basics of piano and guitar, allowing him to shine as well as an adult who has taken lessons for five years at the age of ten. From there, he expanded his horizons, teaching himself cello and the electric bass.

Jeremy never was the most fortunate person; his mother drowned when he was young, and his father fell into a depression, cutting back the family's funds and resources. Nevertheless, he kept himself afloat by participating in the preforming arts. However, volunteering for musicals doesn't pay the bills, so he set off on an adventure to gather funds and take away another mouth for his father to feed.

A gentle and altruistic being, Jeremy's soul is completely imbedded in music. Though he is friendly and somewhat sociable, he tends to distance himself from the crowd. That being said, if he is not talking, he is likely humming. He is prepared to take drastic action in dire situations, putting himself on the front line WITH his Pokemon if needed(he keeps a bladed melee chain in the bottom of his vast black hole of a bag for such an occasion.)

He prefers to keep a calculated head in terms of solving problems and well, most things. His battle strategy reflects this; he always keeps himself twelve steps in front of his opponent, focusing on the long term effects of his attacks instead of pure force. This puts him at a weakness against trainers that pull unexpected trump cards.

Skills: -A gifted musician. Plays guitar, piano, cello, and bass, in addition to having a voice.
-Good with technology. He DID grow up in a steel-based area.
-Good with water. He DID grow up in a harbor.
-Fairly intelligent.
-A good actor. Also a good liar.
Weaknesses: -Doesn't have the social skills that most have.
-Distances himself from people.
-Suspectable to heavy emotional blows.
-Outsmarts people on the battlefield, but if he is outsmarted, he's pretty much done for.

Starter: 22

Team: 2, 12, 32, 11
 
Right you're both in. I'll PM team and wait for my call on the other topic.

Sweet as.
 
Still accepting I assume?

Name - Orabel Wyght
Gender - Female
Age - 16
Class - Traveler/Swimmer

Place of Origin - Pacifidlog Town, Hoenn

Appearance - Standing at 5'3", Orabel has a somewhat petite but athletic build. Her dark navy blue hair reaches down to her bottom, but she ties it up into two lazy pigtails loops that rests on her shoulders. Her bangs are a little long but she takes good care of them. She always has either an aloof or spaced out expression on her face, a light shade of brown eyes sporting that face. Any other standing out details would be a mole nearside her right eye along with a slightly noticeable muscle tone. Other than that, there is nothing else to her. Orabel does change clothes a lot, but she always wears a flashy and frilly one piece swimsuit underneath her clothes.

Personality/History - Orabel felt like somewhat of an opposite in her very hearty and welcoming family. Her parents, siblings, and relatives were all loud and full of energy. She on the other hand, while still friendly, didn't have as much as energy. Her siblings would be having races and competing in the water, while she preferred to just float around on the surface. Not to mention, she's a little clumsy and unlucky which causes her trouble during travels. But Orabel never let her misfortunes get her down, thus making her a strong-willed girl.

Living in Pacifidlog, her family were a bunch of active swimmers and they all swam almost everyday. As they would swim off, Orabel would lounge around the shores finding small beautiful trinkets. This has grown into a big love for jewelry, rings specifically. Soon enough that interest grew over to clothes, thus explaining her extravagant swimsuit. Orabel would like to own prettier clothes, but she never has the money. Out of all her siblings, Orabel loves her eldest sister the most, who left on her own journey quite awhile ago. It has inspired her to do her own exploring, despite her worried parents. She had planned to take a trip to somewhere in Hoenn, but due to her terrible luck and bad sense of directions, she ended up in Sinnoh somehow! Orabel thought about going back, but why not start here she wondered?

Skills:
- A somewhat excellent swimmer.
- Able to tolerate people and pokemon well
- Finding trinkets/treasure or rare items

Starter: 66
Team: 53, 34
