The world has been sent into a cataclysmic state, and it's all my fault. I should have interfered when I had the chance. Now... this...

I created this world, and it's inhabitants. Of them, I have entrusted duties to specific members, as to govern and protect this place. The beings that inhabit this world, humans and Pokémon, have learned to work together to overcome obstacles, and live to the next day. More than that, they have surpassed my greatest expectations. They cooperate, and with that, make breathtaking creations, overcome the greatest of obstacles, and in the process, make life a little easier. Through pain and agony, through joy and celebration, humans and Pokémon will always stand together, side by side, hand in hand.

Unfortunately, there are those whom abuse this bond. They utilize Pokémon as tools for their own selfish reasons. People of this sort band together in groups, and attempt to achieve the goal through Pokémon. Of these groups, one learned the full destructive potential of Pokémon, and unleashed this potential, at the cost of the Pokémon's emotions and heart. This group calls themselves... Cipher.

Cipher attempted world conquest through these darkened, emotionless Pokémon, they called Shadow Pokémon. A group of two youths foiled these plans, but unfortunately, Cipher wasn't defeated. They rose again five years later, taking the region by surprise. A lone child again attempted at stopping them, but failed. Even with the aid of the Pokémon labs, Cipher had been too much for him. The people lay in hopes that someone else would help stop Cipher, but no one came. With the power of a creature that can easily cause a fourty-day storm in their grasp, they managed to collect more and more powerful Pokémon.

New knowledge of Pokémon with great power was brought to life, and with their own power, Cipher crept closer and closer to gaining these world-changing Pokémon. They eventually overpowered the ones I had assigned to govern the world: Kyogre, Groudon, Uxie, Azelf, Mesprit, Dialga, and Palkia. Then they targeted me. I was faced against the full force of the ones in control of the universe. With little option, I had no choice but to join Cipher, and was stripped of my emotion, my judgement, my powers of protection. I was nothing more than a machine of destruction. I was commanded to show my true strength, but I was too powerful. I obeyed this command, and it cost the humans greatly. The entire human race went extinct, all its creations demolished.

Without control, and with no one to control us, we rampaged, plunging the world into destruction, chaos, darkness. The other Pokémon were forced to live in this world, but they, like with humans, learned to cooperate, and overcome these new obstacles. But if this goes on, we may end up wiping these poor creatures off the world. Someone, save us...



Sorry for the lengthy intro. Anyways, welcome to PMD: World in Discord! This story represents a possible timeline for what may have happened if Michael failed in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. It also explains why there are no humans in the PMD world. You will be playing as either a human, transformed into a Pokémon, and/or a civilized Pokémon from the Pokémon world. This story takes place in a world severely altered by the rampaging Shadow Groudon, Kyogre, Dialga, Palkia, and Arceus, meaning that it's changed much from the original Pokémon world with humans. All that the transformed Pokémon remember is having been a human, and their name. We set off to learn about ourselves, not knowing anything from the past. Things will rapidly change, disasters will strike, and some things won't make sense, hence the name World in Discord.

Now, some healthy rules, so that WE aren't in discord.

1: No godmodding, bunnying, autohitting, etc. We are good players, not cheaters. Unless you are given permission to control someone else's character, you may not do it. Don't ruin the fun.
2: Be active. If you know you won't be able to post for a while, tell me. If you don't respond in a reasonable amount of time, I will assume you quit, and your character will suffer a gruesome demise.
3: My word is law. If you do not obey, you may not get the chance to defy me again. I'll try not to get power-crazy, and I'll make my orders reasonable. But if I have to boss you around, you did something wrong.
4: All BMGf laws apply.
5: Read the rules. Then forget the 'password', and put something about sushi into the History portion of the SU form.
6: Romance is fine. In fact, I like romance. But, there's gotta be some kind of limit, so that this RP doesn't turn into a porno. Making out? Fine. Sexual acts? Take it somewhere else.
7: No harassing people. We want to make this fun, not a sob fest. If you feel offended by a post, tell a mod.
8: Violence never hurt anyone, so feel free to rock out with it. But if someone here can't handle it, ease off on the descriptive text.
9: Do not progress with the plot without me. You can't just say "Umbreon got all the stuff and saved everyone. The End." I will say when the plot progresses, and it won't end in a snap.
10: If you wanna have your characters partake in a sub-plot of your own, PM me first. The sub-plot may or may not be okay, and besides, I need to know what's going on.
11: Unless I give permission, NPCs are controlled by me. No one else.
12: Don't kill any of the players' characters, unless they give you permission.
13: You may be removed from the RP if you do not follow these rules.
If you read all the rules, put 'Scarlet Fang' into your SU.

Now, a sign up form. Just remember to remove the descriptions. You may have up to three characters. If one goes missing, dies, etc. you may make a new one to take its place.
-Name: What is your character's name?
-Age: How old in human years are they?
-Sex: Male, female or something else? They must be the same sex in both human and Pokémon forms, if they were human.
-Sexuality: Heterosexual, Bisexual, Homosexual, Pansexual, Asexual. What genders do they fall in love with?
-Pokémon: What Pokémon species are they/did they transform into? They may not be the same as anyone else's, no legendaries, and if they have an evolution chain, they may not be the final form.
-Ability: One ability. Must be available to this Pokémon in the video games. Not sure? Use Bulbapedia.
-Weapon: Yes, unlike other PMDs, you may wield up to two weapons. No guns, nothing too big (catapults, cannons, etc.).
-Appearance: Is there anything about their appearance that's different from a normal Pokémon?
-Personality: Give a description of what they act like.
-History: Former humans only remember having been a human, and their name. But they still have a history that they don't remember. Other Pokémon know their past.
-Other: Anything else?

Enjoy!
 
Name: Wildfire

Age: 13

Sex: Female

Sexuality: Heterosexual, but is curious about other sexualities

Pokémon: Ponyta

Ability: Flame Body

Weapon: None (you can’t really do much when you only have Hooves)

Appearance: Her mane and tail are much longer than her breed’s standard and droop down instead of staying up; its tip is above the ground by only a few inches. Her mane and tail are the same color as normal, but the roots of the flame are a light blue.

Personality: Wildfire, despite her name, isn’t very wild at all and is rather docile. She’s not shy, but she is nervous and paranoid. Even though she loves discovery and exploration, she fears forests and plains, mostly because she’s afraid that her mane and/or tail will set the foliage aflame. When she accidentally ignites something, Wildfire panics and runs, knowing that if she’ll make the flames bigger if she tries to put it out. Because of this, she really enjoys areas related to water since she can’t accidentally commit arson there. She gets along very well with hyper and excited Pokémon because they bring out the fun side of her. (I’m hoping to develop Wildfire’s personality later in the story if that’s alright with you)

History: Wildfire was born in the country area of what was once Kanto. Shortly after birth, she attempted to walk and instead stumbled over, accidentally causing a small wildfire with her mane; thus, giving her the name “Wildfire”. Luckily the flames were extinguished by several water type Pokémon before it grew too large to control. She had some sort of disability where she couldn’t control her flames, and because of this she had to be cautious about her surroundings. Wildfire often made herself stay around Pokémon who were resistant or immune to her in order not to hurt anyone too badly. Other than that, she had a pretty average life for a Pokémon… except for igniting her home multiple times by accident.

Other: Again, Wildfire has uncontrollable flames. So if you hit her, accidentally or not, you’re bound to get burned. This isn’t too much of a problem for Pokémon to are resistant, immune, have a high HP stat, or have the ability Shed Skin. Also, Sushi.

@Bad Apple; First, read the rules, and act accordingly.
Second, Wildfire couldn't have come from Kanto. I should've made this more obvious, but the extinction of the human race and the changing of the geography occurred many years before the events of this story. That is why humans are only myth, and also why Pokémon have adapted to life in this world, and created their own civilization.
Change these two things and you're fine!
 
*facepalms*

I'm a disgrace to humanity... I'll go edit everything now... (by the way, you should have said exactly how many years had passed. I just assumed that it was 100, so the continents wouldn't have changed in that time. But since it's apparently 1,000 years or more since then, the continents shifted. Seriously dude, be more specific).
 
@Bad Apple; It said the History portion, but it's fine. Accepted. Also, if you wanted, you could give Wildfire some kind of horseshoe for a weapon. It isn't that the continents shifted in the traditional sense, but rather that they got severely deformed and warped. This is the cause of the rampaging Shadow Kyogre, Groudon, and Palkia.

Now a couple Sign ups for me.

-History: Break was once human. He was born in a city overrun by rogues and gangs. He didn't care for either of them. If he was attacked, he would win the battle, and forget about it. His family didn't really care about him, so he had to learn to live life himself.

Name: Slasher

Age: 22

Sex: Male

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Pokémon: Scyther

Ability: Technician

Weapon: None, can't really hold stuff if your hands are scythes.

Appearance: He has numerous scars running along his body, and has a slight chip on one of his scythes.

Personality: Slasher is aggressive, showing general disdain for the world, and often lashing out violently, holding a relativity short fuse. He holds a deep distrust for others, and has a "Me vs The World" attitude. He is pessimistic, and expects the worst rather then the best. The only Pokemon he tends to trust are his close friends, the only problem is that he does not have any. However, if he did have friends, he would defend them with his life if he had to.

History: Slasher was born in a forest, where his parents abandoned him when he was very young. Due to this, he had to fend for himself throughout his childhood and adolescence, steadily forming a growing hatred for the world he was brought into. He also got more violent, as he would often have to fight for his life in the forest against wild Pokemon. Eventually, he passed his adolescence stage, and went into the world of adulthood. He built a small cottage in the outskirts of the forest, and lived in solitude, staying away from the other civilized Pokemon.

Other: Not much else to add, since I think I covered everything, also, Sushi.

-Name: Eggs

-Age: 12

-Sex: Male

-Sexuality: Heterosexual

-Pokémon: Togepi

-Ability: Super Luck

-Weapon: A small slingshot

crack in his shell that he uses as a pocket. His skin is a pale yellow with a few darker splotches on the back of his head. One of the spikes on his head is also twisted at an odd angle.

-Personality: Eggs is very calm, and can operate under tremendous amounts of pressure. He is willing to risk his life for his close friends and family, but hesitates to do so for anyone else. He is very cautious and waits for other people/pokemon to engage him in conversation. Due to his cautious nature, he has a hard time begining to trust other people/pokemon. Once he does begin to trust them, it is a very deep trust He is realist, always hoping for the best possible scenario, and alwayss perparing for the worst.

-History: His mother and father gave him up as a child, and he spent most of his childhood either in orphanages or in foster homes. He ran away from most of those places, and quickly developed a lack of distrust for people. He finally found a home that he wanted to like after eight years of foster homes. The man was a teacher, and the woman worked part-time at a sushi shop down the street from their house. after six months, they adopted him, and he lived with them for three years before strange dreams of talking pokemon began when he slept. All he remembers of this, however, is being a human.

I'll be posting another one soon.

Here's my other one:

-Name: Ryo

-Age: 13

-Sex: Male

-Sexuality: Heterosexual

-Pokémon: Riolu

-Ability: Justified

-Weapon: A set of Nunchucks

-Appearance: Ryo has many scars on his left leg.

-Personality: Ryo is very lighthearted, and jokes around a lot. He laughs all the time, and is hardly ever seen without a smile. He sees the bad things in a situation, but ignores them most of the time. He loves to talk, and has learned how to distract people/pokemon with words, and talk his way out of a bad situation. He looks for the good in people/pokemon, and making friends is very easy for him.

-History: Ryo lived with a small clan of other Riolu and trained vigorously since he was two. He made friends with many of the other Riolu, and even formed their own club called the "Lu Club". His clan was forced to run from their land in the woods due to a massive rockslide from a nearby mountain. Ryo was near the base of the mountain when the rockslide began, and his left leg was trapped under a large rock which took him four day to move. After this happened, his left leg was badly scarred, and he had to learn to walk and fight with his damaged leg, which took two years to do. He has always dreamed of forming a rescue/exploration team.

-Other: Sushi
 
Hey, I don't mean to be pushy or anything, but when does the RP start up? I'm guessing when we get enough people signed up here, or whenever you chose to do it.
 
Well, I started SUs yesterday, and we already have four people signed up (including me), with seven player characters. I'm feeling pretty good about this. I'm definitely starting sometime this week, assuming this pace continues. I'll notify you when it starts, 'kay?

Sounds good. :)
 
Any way to reserve a spot for a Buizel? I'm still working out the kinks of my character.

Can I sign up, just for fun?

-Name: Cynder
-Age: 17
-Sex: Female
-Sexuality: Heterosexual, though she gives few f**ks about other people.
-Pokémon: Cyndaquil(reasonably close to evolution)
-Ability: Blaze
-Weapon: Doesn't even bother.
-Appearance: Most Cyndaquil have four flame spots-Cynder has 5, similar to the pattern on a die. When she evolves, he'll keep an extra spot.
-Personality: Prefers strategy to rushing in blindly. Enjoys jokes, but not very good ones. Hates spicy things, which is odd as she's a Fire-type.
-History: Most Cyndaquil prefer to emulate their Typhlosion parents, charging in blindly and relying on overwhelming force to take them out safely. Cynder, on the other hand, prefers to be clever. Unfortunately, other Cyndaquil got rather angry when she beat them all through strategy. And enough of them got angry that she couldn't attack them all at once. They left her for dead on the edge of the forest. This is where she picks up.
-Other: Her flames are a lot more "washed" than most Cyndaquil- more like poky plates of flame than spikes.
 
Password. I'm an idiot. Sorry about that. *goes off to knock himself out via facepalm*
