Ok, this is based off the real world illegal sport of Dogfighting, which most you can probably tell, I really don't condone in anyway, as the RP itself shows. Also, there's a bit of supernatural aspect in it as well.

Plot: Pokemon battles are normally friendly sporting confrontations, with little if any major injuries occuring. What most trainers don't know is Pokemon purposely hold back their strength in battle so they don't severely injure each other, or worse, and those that do don't push their Pokemon past that point, because not only is it morally wrong, the ways to force them to do so are largely illegal. But some...unsavory types do it anyway.

In a secret underground arena under the Sinnoh Region, an insane, evil man named Mako uses these illegal methiods to force Pokemon to go past the restrictions they'd normally put on themselves to battle for entertainment, and his own wealth. These Pokemon are often badly injured in the fights, sometimes even killed. But these Pokemon are beginning to reach their own breaking point, and are preparing to escape, but even if they escape the Dark Arena, there's still the matter of bringing down that horrible place and making sure no Pokemon will ever suffer in that awful place again. And worse than that, some Pokemon are truely loyal to Mako and Mako surely will want to regain his lost Pokemon, or make sure to silence them forever.

Rules:

This RP is rated PG 13, due to violence but keep cusing low to none.

In the Dark Arena, Pokemon, like in dogfighting, are injected with chemicals that make them highly agressive and no longer hold back their power. When under the influence of these chemicals, their attacks are far more powerful than normal due to them not holding back, and blood is actuelly drawn.

You cannot kill another player's character without their permission, unless they quit the RP. NPCs can be killed in the arena though. I will decide the winner of battles between players, but if you lose a battle in the Dark Arena, you'll likely be badly hurt.

This is mostly a Pokemon centric RP, but there is one human role other than Mako you can be.

Please be respectful to others.

No Legendaries in the arena, I will allow weaker Legendaries to help them once they escape, just no Arceus or anything like that.

Pokemon used by the Pokemon Hunter do not require bios, unless you want them.

Have fun, its a roleplay after all.

If you read the rules, right Arena in your post.

Could I do two?

Personality: Slaking's personality is determined to show that all Slaking's are not lazy, good-for-nothing Pokemon. He is strong-willed and highly motivated, and very active. Although he may seem slow, lazy and stupid on the outside, he is really very intelligent, always planning and thinking.

History: Slaking was born a lazy Slakoth in a forest somewhere in Hoenn, far off from any Route or City. He passed his days eating berries and sleeping, and his nights were spent around the fire with his friend, a Whismur named Paris, telling stories. One day, an off-path trainer found the two. Both were too lazy to resist capture, so he caught them. For two years, he trained them to the max, and the three became bestfriends. Tybalt became a strong Slaking and Paris, a great Exploud. But the trainer was attacked by Mako's Pokemon capturer. Tybalt was taken, but prevented Paris from being captured. Tybalt plans to escpae and find his trainer.

"Sure, but remember, this is a pretty serious toned RP, ok?
 
ARENA


Name: Skull
Species: Marowak
Age: 17
Personality: Skull is somewhat hostile, never putting trust in anyone but one of his kind. He rarely shares his thoughts and is very unpredictable. One minute he could be happy, and then trying to kill you next. Skull is very unfriendly, and doesn't exactly delight in making friends. Most of the time, if you make friends with his, your skull will end up on his head.
History: Skull was born when his Kangaskan mother died, using her skull as a helmet and training himself in Lavender Town. He was captured for the arena when a Pokemon Hunter spotted him taking down a flock of Mareep with only a club made of bone. He was raised in the arena for most of his life, and has nearly forgotten what it is like to be a wild pokemon. Skull wants to escape the Dark Arena so that he can live a normal wild pokemon life once again.
Status: Wild
Side: Wants to escape Arena
Unique Traits: Skull on his head is from a Kangaskan he killed in the arena. It has a large crack down the side from Skull's Bonemerang.
Attacks: Bone Rush, Bonemerang, Earthquake, Skull Bash
Holding a thick club
 
Indeed compelling. It's been a great deal of time since I rp'd so I hope I'm not too bad with my grammar :\


Name: Khaoss (Pronounced the same as Chaos)
Species: Espeon
Age: 27
Personality: Obsessed, Seductive, Taunting.
She is as sly with remarks as her former owner, she taunts and lures her foes and plays plenty of mind games.
History: This espeon was no average trainers fare, she belonged to a criminal gang hellbent on research on pokemon. The haunting images of the poor creatures being disected and altered into monsters became something she accustomed easily to. When the criminal gang was disbanded by force, decimated and trashed by a lowly trainer she fled for her safety.
Status: Criminals tool.
Side: Loyal to Mako, she respects his ideals.
Unique Traits: This espeon is unlike most, it bares a deep scarring around it's jewel on its forehead creating a eye like image. Another example of her previous owners malice on life.
Attacks: Trick, Hypnosis, Nightmare, Psychic
Hold Item: Flame Orb

What am I missing? Perhaps a layout change would help.

Edit: I took note of the Arena thing, but is that really nessicary to add? All my requirements are met in the post above as far as I can percieve, unless I've done something wrong.


If you read the rules, right Arena in your post.

The issue is that it was smalltyped. You should underscore the rules and title it, so it stands out.
 
Its supposed to be small so that people need to read the rules to see it, if it stood out that'd kinda nullify the point. Anyway, you read it, so you don't have to add it, you're fine. Though you may want to add an escapee character, sense the story rides mostly on them.

I mean to underscore the rules rather then that note, keep it at the bottom.

Hmm...

This'll be one of those rare occurances where I role play as someone besides Zaar and/or Kokirkimu! =D


Arena! Arena! Arena!

Name: Raphael
Species: Weavile
Age: 19

Personality: Raphael has always been cunning and mischevious, but mischevious in the dark sense. He always cracks up in laughter at other people's expense, and loves fighting more than anything else. His "jokes" include slicing people to ribbons with handmade buzz saws, smashing them with hammers, and dangling them in the air, suspended by a rope, only to find his claw being driven through their face. He is a genius, but uses his intelligence for his own amusement.

History: Ever since he was a baby Sneasel, Raphael was playing jokes on others. Jokes where the end result was broken bones, detatched limbs, and maybe the loss of a life or two. He was banished from his home, the forests of Snowpoint.

During his travels, he stumbled across Lake Acuity, and saw a semi-transparent figure, about a foor high, with two flowing tails. He walked up to the figure, and just before he was within speaking distance, the creature vanished.

After that, Raphael travelled around the Sinnoh region, before finding Pokemon Hunters. He, strangely enough, willingly gave himself up to the Hunters, and once he arrived at the Arena, immediately took a liking to Mako.

He's in the Dark Arena for the sport. As he says, "The fun doesn't stop until there's no one left to die."

Status: He was wild, and travels around, continuously trying to find more people to pull his jokes on, but he also is trying to find his parents.

Side: Compltely and utterly loyal to Mako.

Unique Traits: I've got a picture of him, but I can't get on a computer to put it on here yet...

Attacks: Dark Pulse, Metal Claw, Shadow Claw, and Blizzard.
 
Cool! You're in! Though could you also be an escapee because they'll be the more active of the fractions.

Actuelly, Zaar, without the supernatural powers, would probably be fitting for the Pokemon Hunter role if you'd like.
 
Alright, let's go with that. Need I post a sign-up for him?
 
Yeah, and also please make an Escapee, as I said, they'll be the main focus of the RP.
