The year is 2029, seventeen years after the appearance of a mysterious new species. Nobody really knows how or why they appeared, they just did. The strange new species, being half-human and half-pokemon, were dubbed "Gijinka".

For fifteen of those years, both the Humans and Gijinka co-existed in harmony, until, in 2027, the Division began. The Humans got sick of sharing their space with the Gijinka, and accused them of "taking over the planet". The World Government, a human-run organisation that sets universally applied laws, began introducing methods of population control to keep Gijinka numbers at a manageable level. The Gijinka were understandably furious at this, and demanded that their rights be respected. Tension rose between the two species, until, in 2018, the War began. Despite the Gijinka's inhuman abilities, they were quickly overwhelmed when the Humans unveiled their new super-weapon; the Genetic Restriction Collar, more commonly known as a GRC. A GRC works by nullifying the Human DNA in a gijinka, reducing their physical and mental capacities to that of their half-species; essentially turning them into a pokemon.

Once the Gijinka numbers were too low to pose much of a threat to the Humans, the World Government introduced "Project Fugue"; a simple plan with one aim: to remove every Gijinka, through Nullification or Death, from the face of the planet.

A few pockets of Gijinka resistance sprang up, but they were no match for the muscle of the World Government, and were quickly silenced. Now there are only a small number of Gijinka left in the world, and have been declared an endangered species.

My Name is Felix, and this is my story.



This RP is based on a failed attempt at a FanFic by yours truly, so i decided to make it an RP instead

A few things you need to know before we get started:
-The RP is set in the real world, so no Sinnoh or Unova or places like that.
-Gijinka do not fight using set "moves", they simply manipulate their "element" if you will. For example- A Charizard gijinka can manipulate fire at will, a Raichu electricity, and a Swampert both water and mud/dirt
-Reservations last 48 hours before they expire
-I'm happy for one or two people to Co-GM this RP with me, and I'll be selecting those who i think will do a good job, not on a first-in best-dressed basis
-Since I'll be without internet from Friday the 28th of September until Wednesday the 3rd of October (that's Thursday-Tuesday for those of you in the States), the start-up probably won't be until Wednesday. I apologise for this

Rules
-All BMGF rules apply
-No godmodding. Overpowered characters will NOT be accepted. No exceptions
-No Mary-Sues. Again, they will NOT be accepted
-No bunnying. Ask permission before you do something to something to another's character
-Maximum of two characters per side. That's four characters max (two human and two Gijinka. This may be changed later)
-For Gijinka submissions, I'll only accept one of each pokemon species, to avoid confusion. Umbreon and Jolteon are taken by me. Sorry
-Keep romance to an acceptable level. This is a forum for pokemon, not porn
-Keep swearing to a minimum please. I'll allow the S-word, but nothing worse than that, so definitely no F's or C's, and don't use the S-word every three words
-Respect your fellow RP-ers. Any abuse will NOT be tolerated, and you will be kicked out immediately, no ands ifs or buts
-No deaths please. Being seriously injured in battle? Yes. Dying? No thanks
-Enjoy yourself. You will have fun whether you like it or not. Absolutely no exceptions to this rule
-I hate doing this, but if you've read the rules, simply put three asterisks in brackets at the end of your sign-up like so: (***)

My Sign-up/Example
Name: Felix "'Lix" Black
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Species: Gijinka
Gijinka Species: Umbreon
Appearance: He is of average height, at about 5'10", and is relatively thin. He wears a black hoodie with a gold ring on each shoulder, a pair of black denim jeans and yellow sneakers. He has distinct Umbreon ears that poke conspicuously through his messy black hair, and an Umbreon tail that stick through a hole in his jeans. His canine teeth are more prominent than those of a normal human, and he has gold rings on his shoulders
Side: Gijinka
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Place of origin: Sydney, Australia
Current Location: Sydney, Australia
Personality: He is generally pretty easy going and relaxed, and enjoys a good time with his mates, but is also very focussed on the task of restoring Gijinka rights and their place in society. He is good friends with many girls, but he is not the romantic type, and has never been involved in a serious relationship. In a dangerous situation, he will remain calm, and sum up the situation before acting.
History: Having never known his parents, he grew up on the streets alone with his brother, taking refuge in the homes of fellow Gijinka or non-hostile humans. He has become very street-wise as a result of his up-bringing.
Fighting style: Only fights for self-defense. He will wait for his opponent to attack, then counter their attack with his own attack, or create a diversion and escape. He likes to analyse his opponent before attacking
Habits/Unique characteristics: Has a habit of fiddling with other peoples ears absent-mindedly. He will sometime fiddle with his own.
Strengths/Talents: He is gifted at analysing a situation or threat, and acting accordingly. He is also somewhat musically talented, although he is modest when asked about it.
Weaknesses/Fears: He fears being stabbed in the back (so to speak) by a fellow Gijinka. The only person he trusts his life with is his brother
Other: He is Jay's twin brother

Name: Jay "Twitch" Black
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Species: Gijinka
Gijinka Species: Jolteon
Appearance: A little taller than his brother, he stand at about 6'2", and is also pretty thin. He wears a yellow racing jacket with a black stripe down the center, dark jeans, and black sneakers. Like his brother, he has Jolteon ears that poke through his dark hair, and prominent canines.
Side: Gijinka
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Place of origin: Sydney, Australia
Current Location: Sydney, Australia
Personality: Jay is your local joker, prankster and party animal, and loves having a good time. He doesn't take anything seriously, and often has to be pulled back in line by his brother. He is alos known for being a bit of a "player", flirting with a few girls, but never actually lands one. In a fight, he is cocky and confident, and consequently finds himself in hot water quite often.
History: Spent all his life on the street with Felix, the two of them watching each other's backs. Like Felix, he knows how to survive on his own.
Fighting style: Uses his speed and agility to confuse his opponent before attacking them with a strong electric attack, however, his reckless and rash style often gets him in trouble
Habits/Unique characteristics: Can never stay still, and every part of him seems to be moving at once. He earned his nickname from the way he twitches his ears unconsciously.
Strengths/Talents: Jay is very confident, outgoing and very likeable, so he gets along with others easier than the average person.
Weaknesses/Fears: Fears being caught with a GRC. He also has an slight, unexplained fear of cake...
Other/Something I forgot to put in the form: He is Felix's twin brother

Accepted and Reserved
UmbraFox - Umbreon and Jolteon
Blathers - Drifblim

The story will progress with a small group of Gijinka traveling from city to city and country to country, uniting with other Gijinka and expanding their forces, in an attempt to restore their right to freedom. Meanwhile, the Humans will try to find the group and prevent them from joining with other Gijinka. Although they may come close to it, the Humans must not stop the group permanently, or this RP is made redundant. They are allowed to come close to stopping it, and even succeed temporarily, but not permanently.

Hope you guys enjoy

Cheers

Name: Poe "Light-Foot" Mackaree

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Species: Gijinka

Gijinka Species: Drifblim

Appearance: Poe, due to his species, has completely white hair with red pupils. His hair is a bit cloud-like in their form, neatly holding their shape. He wears a dark purple Fedora with a single feather poking out of it, and wears a purple cloth around his neck with the bright yellow X which he will some times use to cover his face. He wears a cape that resembles the patterns on a Driflim. He can wrap this cape around himself and use it to catch the wind, allowing him to fly around without the assistance of wings. He wears a white shirt and a set of purple pants, with a belt that has four yellow tipped streamers hanging from it. The bottom of his pants are tipped in red; people often make fun of him for his elaborate costume, but he doesn't pay them any mind. He is of average height, but he is very light and quite skinny.

Side: Gijinkas (Though he considers himself to be on any side that promotes freedom.)

Sexuality: Hetrosexual

Place of origin: Hanko, Finland

Current Location: Constantly traveling; currently in Sydney (Because how else will there be plot?)

Personality: Poe is a whimsical, free spirited person who rarely gets stressed over anything. While he doesn't have an overly strong sense of justice, he cannot stand seeing people's freedoms being restricted, whether it be by criminals or the government itself. Despite his playful nature, he hasn't shown much of an interest in Romance; he is much more interested in simply hanging out with people who share something in common with him. He considers dating to be binding and restricting, which simply won't do for someone as free as he is; at least not until he finds the person who shares in his enthusiasm.

History: His hometown of Hanko was not very accepting of Poe, but he didn't let their hostility get to him. Poe always believed that the people of the town were jealous of his free nature; Poe has never had a permanent residence, and instead chose to fight for himself. He wasn't bitter about being alone, however; it's all he could ever ask for. He knew very few people on a personal level, but he cared for everyone he got to know, even if they kept their relationships secret from the rest of society.

However, crime rates in the town were beginning to increase. Everyday crime became more prominent in the streets and ally ways, and Poe decided that he had quite enough of the maltreatment to others. He became somewhat of a superhero in the town; he would often step in and stop thugs from getting their own way with people who couldn't defend themselves. However, one day a particular group of thugs proved to be much more dangerous then Poe had anticipated. A gun fight erupted due to Poe's intervention, and it broke out horrendously. The Drifblim hijinka managed to end the conflict after a struggling to take out their leader, but in the end everyone had blamed "Light-Foot" for what had happened. Soon the police and other forces got involved, hunting down Poe both for crimes a gang committed and for simply being a Gijiinka. After a tearful goodbye to the few friends he had in Finland, he spread open his cape and let the Northern wind take him away as he avoided the police. He's been traveling and avoiding detection ever since, but he still feels the need to step in and defend people when he sees injustice.

Fighting style: Poe will avoid direct conflict if he can, but he is extremely light on his feet and is quite acrobatic. However, he likes to avoid close quarters combat at all if possible, and will choose to avoid his foes and attack them from afar with his control over ghostly powers and powerful gusts of winds.

Habits/Unique characteristics: Because of the species of Gajiinka he is, he only weighs 55 pounds total, which is very odd considering his age.

Strengths/Talents: Moving around quickly, silently and without drawing attention. He also has the ability to fly, and due to his sensitivity to winds, he is very good at predicting the weather and other disturbances relating to the winds.

Weaknesses/Fears: Due to how light he is, he isn't very strong physically; he can lift people into the air using his streamers, but lifting someone up severely hampers his maneuverability. He is also somewhat afraid of tight spaces; he doesn't fight well in most indoor locations where his movement is hampered.

Other/Something I forgot to put in the form: He likes the color purple, in case you cannot tell.
