Title: Rocket Mission RPG

You are a Rocket Grunt, hoping to gain a higher rank. You have been sent out on a mission to an island and you have no idea what awaits you there. You will be given further instructions via your Rocket Communicators (they're basically the same as pokegear or pokenav or what have you) Of course, everyone else on the mission also wants to get a promotion. You will be looking to support your fellow Rockets, but at the same time, outshine them.

Characters: You can have pretty free reign over your characters, just a few rules:
1) No supernatural abilities. (I may permit sensible and fairly minor ones)
2) They must have joined Team Rocket at some point in their past (obviously)
3) They must not have turned down a promotion in the past. (Just so no-one goes ahead and claims they're better than everyone else)

Pokemon: You can have up to three Pokemon to start with, no legendaries. You will have an opportunity to catch more Pokemon though. (You might want to detail who your favourites are and I'll make a special effort to include them on the island if you like)

Please wait for me to approve your character before going ahead and posting on the main game (it hasn't been made yet, but this stands for when it does)

Your application should look something like this.
(I'm gonna put in the information for my character, he's not actually part of the RPG, as I'll mostly be saying what happens, but sometimes I'll be talking through him)

Name: Tyrant (NOTE: This is an alias, this is not his real name)
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Notes: Tyrant is the Head of this operation, and is therefore an Executive
Personality: Tyrant does not care at all for others. He will sometimes make an effort to help others if he believes it will benefit him in the long run. He shows no preference whatsoever to people. He is very quiet, and does not make friends. Everything he knows is shared on a need to know basis.
Appearance: Wears a generic Rocket Executive uniform, he does not alter it whatsoever. He is fairly tall. Light skin and dark hair.
Pokemon: Tyranitar, Weavile, Honchkrow


Current Characters:
1) Tyrant
2) Alex
3) Root
4) Ryan
5) Royd
6) Ben
7) Ricki-Mae
8) Black
9) Nom Nom

Define supernatural.

What if they have abilities, but there's a scientific rather than paranormal, explanation for them (a la Heroes?)
 
Hmmm... As long as it's very slight I suppose I can allow that.

I have a few rules for it though:

1) It can't give a CLEAR image of what's going on, just vague images.
2) No-one else can have this, as you were the first to think of it.
3) You can read the minds of your own Pokemon as much as you want, but as for the minds of other people/pokemon it must be kept to a minimum.
4) If you overuse it, you will suddenly lose it with little explanation.
 
That's about what the character I had in mind had anyway, if she's going to be a grunt in this (at that point she wasn't sure of all her abilities in my canon anyway).

I'll think about joining and sign up if I'm interested enough.
 
Alex

Name:Alex
Gender:Female, just thought I'd make that clear XD
Age:17
Notes:A new recruit for Team Rocket.
Personality:Is quite shy usually, but occasionally flares up. As a result of this, she doesn't make friends very easily. She is terrified of superior officers, and sometimes questions her Team's motives. (Quietly)
Appearance:Same uniform as most Rockets, black with red R. Curly golden-blonde hair and deep green eyes.
Pokemon:Abra, Riolu and Ralts

How's that?

Yes! Ha ha! You guys have no idea how long I've waited for an RPG to show up... This one looks like a great one, too.

Name: Root (This is his last name, which he prefers to go by)
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Notes: Root always has to have a say in things, even though it's usually far from serious. He enjoys making jokes, and laughing even when no one else is. He's quite selfless, but his ego often takes presidence over anything. He was compelled to join Team Rocket after convincing himself he could not gain any amount of fame or recognition otherwise.
Appearance: He likes to wear his simple Grunt uniform, as he likes the thought of belonging to one of the most powerful orginizations in the world. He's got pitch black hair and is thin and tall with slightly tan skin.
Pokemon: Cradily, Victreebel, Vespiquen
 
Name: Ryan
Age: 10
Personality: He was abandoned by his Dad and want to take revenge. He thinks that Team Rocket, an evil organization, would be where he needed to go. He doesn't want to become a person like his cruel Dad and therefore like to care for the others and his Pokémon. He would do his best to help his teammates.
Appearance: Wears a black Rocket uniform. He is short, slightly tanned skin and black hair.
Pokemon: Charmander, Houndour, Machop

Pokemon: Charizard, gliscor, absol

Name: Ben
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Personality: Patient temper, when he does flare up though, watch out. He seems too nice to be a team Rocket member, but he is very deceptive and will sometimes gain his enemies' trust to get his job done.
Appearance: He wears a modified Rocket uniform, dark blue with a red R. Tall, with dark brown hair and blue eyes, he has long legs, so he can run very fast (not fast like a car, fast like an olympic sprinter).
Pokemon: Houndoom, Bagon, Togekiss, Ivysaur, Aggron (they're allowed to evolve, right?)

Name: Ricki-Mae
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Personality: Manipulative, brutally honest with a dash of dumb blonde (even though she's a redhead).. She gets annoyed easily especially when people call her "Rocket Baby". She received this nickname because she joined Team Rocket at the age of 10. She hasn't been interested in going for a promotion, which may have cost her the chance to get one, as she had plans to quit and join Galactic. Now she desperately wants a promotion and will do anything to get one. She used to live on a farm though and every now and then she wants to return to her family and Miltank Bessie. Frequently she wishes for her old life back.
Appearance; Bright red curly hair she straightens every day, gray eyes and a smirk-that's Ricki-Mae. She wears sky blue lipstick daily. Her uniform consists of a loose black long sleeved shirt with an R on it and black skinny jeans. She has strong arms and when she was little she always beat her 6 brothers at arm wrestling. She is very cunning.
Pokémon: Meowth, Milotic and Lapras.
Can you please try to include Tropius?

You could change that slightly to something like...

"She hasn't been interested in going for a promotion, which may have cost her the chance to get one, as she had plans to quit and join Galactic"

Basically, I want everyone to be at the same level, ie. Grunt. And if your character has turned down a promotion, that implies they're at Executive level.

Other than that, I'm happy for your character to be in it. Perhaps she'll feel some compassion for Ryan, the new Rocket Baby? (He's just 10, when everyone else is at least 17) I dunno, that's just a thought I had =P

And, yeah, I'll include Tropius, np =P
