Team Trouble Cleff
Will you rise to the top, or falsetto to the bottom?



Greetings, and welcome to the team! I'm Rhythm, and today I'll be guiding you on your tour around the facility.

So, what brings you all to Nimbassa? The lights? The people? The music? It's all pretty nice. As you saw when you came in, our base's entrance is the abandoned train tunnel. Make sure that when you leave, you have a key. Otherwise our security system will get ya. Our team specializes in theft, robberies, and break-ins. The money we collect is divided amongst all members, but that's not to say we all get paid the same. If want to earn more money, then you'll have to work your way up the charts. Most of use the money to have a better living, and there are some who even donate it. But hey, you probably know that. That's why you're all here, right? I'll just get to the tour now.

On the left, you'll see our research labs and current projects. Don't say I told you, but currently the head-honcho is planning to cross-breed pokémon. Crazy, right? Coming up on the right you can see our cabins and kitchen. All members stay in the base and only leave when ordered. The boss knows how to keep everyone together, you could say.

Oh, that's right. I forgot to tell you the rules of the place.

Rules
> All BMGf forum rules apply.
> All Roleplaying Game Rules apply.
> No godmodding, tennising, or bunnying.
> As the GM, please make sure to listen to what I have to say.
> Swearing/kissing/all that good stuff is allowed, but please try to keep it PG-13.
> If you are having a problem with another user, want to inform me of an idea/issue, or just want to say hi, please don't hesitate to PM/VM me.
> Be active. It's okay to miss a mission or two, but if you're going to be going away for a while, please let me know through a PM/VM.
> Please keep OOC posts to a minimum.
> Be respectful to other RPers .
> Have fun.

And that's about it. Make sure your uniform is clean, especially on Tuesdays. That's when we hold our inspection. Since you're all rookies, Bertha will be judging you. And let me make it clear, you do not want to get on her bad side. Wednesdays are when we do karaoke, to you know, loosen up from the week. Thursdays are when we hold meetings, Friday is when we train for missions, and Sunday is when the higher-ups put on their dance rehearsal. Just a tip, don't sit between seats C-4 and C-19. That's where Joe likes to start his crowd-dive. Saturday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday mornings are when most missions are done. If it's urgent, we'll sometimes do it on a different day.

Over here we have the main office where you can make appointments with your superiors. Including me, there are six admins that work right under the boss. Normally we admins don't do orientations, but since it's Friday there's not much for me to do. While we're here you'll need to turn in your forms. What? I didn't give any of you forms? Well, take a minute and fill out this questionnaire.

Sign Ups

Gender: (Anything is fine)
Age: (16~30)
Appearance: (Just basic traits. The team uniforms are all white, and the shirts all have purple f-clefs on them. You can pick out the more stylistic details though.)
Personality:
History: (Include where you live. This RP takes place in Unova, so please make your person from one of the cities there. You are allowed to create your own places, though.)

Pokemon: (As you probably guessed by the name, this organization uses "sound-based" pokémon. You don't have to use one, but it'd make me happy. Pokémon like Charizard, Gyarados, or Dragonite are not acceptable. No legendaries, no fully evolved pokémon. Remember, you're grunts. You don't have to have Zubat and Rattata, but make it reasonable. Oh, and no more than two per character please!)

Talents: (Any special skills?)
Vocal Range: (Cuz, y'know. Link to vocal ranges.)

*note, your answers don't have to be anything long. short and sweet is cool with me, though if you like to write go ahead.

Ah, if you need something to go off of, here's my own form. Always keep it around for sentimental values.

My Sign Up
Name: Rhythm Jones
Gender: Male
Age: 27

Appearance: Short, crimson-dyed hair and grey eyes. Tan skin and fairly muscular. Stand around 6'00" and weigh about 170

Personality: My friends all say I'm a happy-go-lucky guy, but that's cuz they've never seen me in a fight. I'm more of a dancer than a singer, and prefer to rob buildings than go for walks on the beach. Whenever I rob a store I make sure to pocket a little gold for myself, but uh, don't tell the boss.

History: Grew up in Humilau City and worked as a bartender in my later years. After I met the boss I moved with him down here and am now runnin' this place.

Pokemon:

Noivern - Male
Kricketot - Male


Talents: I'm a pretty good dancer, and I can make a mean margarita.
Vocal Range: Baritone
Favorite Dance: Salsa

*note, you don't actually have to do it like this

All done? Good! Now, let's continue!

Down here on the left is the theater, and on the right is the boss' room. What's he like? Well, let's just say don't go into his room between 5pm and 4pm. Otherwise, he's a pretty nice guy! So, let's head over to the warehouse. You guys need to get into uniform.

-​

Big, huh? This place holds everything we need. Take anything you want, as you only get to come here once a month. Food, games, clothes, it's all good! Just make sure your uniform fits. They're all white with a purple f-clef in the middle. For the winter months we have long-sleeve shirts and long pants, and in the warmer months we have lighter options.

Now then, once you get your new belongings, head on back to your rooms and get ready for what's ahead. We've got missions starting tomorrow!

So this is just a casual little RP I wanted to do. Initially I was going to write a crack-fic using this team as the star, but I have way too many projects on hand already. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. This is my first time being a GM, so I hope I'm not too terrible. The SU's won't be closing, but if enough people have signed up I'll probably be starting next week.

That said, I encourage anyone and everyone to sign up, cuz dis gun b fun ;v;

Re: Team Trouble Cleff: Let the Heist Begin

May I reserve a spot? Also, just wanted to say I love the title of this roleplay. it's so punny and puns are golden
 
Re: Team Trouble Cleff: Let the Heist Begin

If I can't play an older member, please say so!

Name: Crimson "Terminator" Koros
Gender: Male
Age: 29

Appearance: Terminator is a tall individual, with red-blonde hair and rather tan skin. The left side of his face is mostly metal, his eye replaced by a lens with a crimson orb in place of his irise. He wears the usual uniform, but has a dark gray bandana that covers his neck, mouth, and most of his left face in an attempt to mask the cyborg additions.

Personality: Terminator has a snappy personality, but cold and cruel all the same. He is hostile, and having had experience in thievery and crime, many choose not to cross him.

History: Terminator grew up in Kanto, mostly in the Cinnabar Islands throughout his life. He had been beaten by his father often as a kid, and when he turned nineteen, he participated in the big Pokémon War years ago. He moved to Unnova when he turned 24, and often stole things from the marts. Sometimes, from other people. Then he was sent to jail and was released three years later. He found the early Team Plasma inexperienced and rather redundant, so he chose to join Trouble Cleff, considering his love for music.

Pokemon: Loudred - Haunter



Talents: Crimson can copy his opponent's moves with his cyborg eye, and can read Pokémon's thoughts. He can also play the subcontrabass saxophone.
Vocal Range: Contrabass, if it is allowed. If not, Bass II is fine.
Favorite Dance: Dragon dance (yes, it exists >:C)

Re: Team Trouble Cleff: Let the Heist Begin

Can I just say that I LOVE YOU.

Seriously. This is the first real music based thing I've seen. As a choir/music buff, this is refreshing. Anyway...

---


Name: Darius Custodio
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Appearance: Darius stands at 5'9" and weighs 162 pounds. He is somewhat muscular and works out in his free time, but not overwhelmingly so. He has dark hair and deep, hazel eyes. He wears the standard uniform(and LOVES the fact that it represents an f-clef rather than a g-clef), but underneath he wears a black tank top and shorts. Finally, he likes to wear a Mystic Water around his neck.

Personality: Darius is very quiet until he warms up to people. People say he is sweet and caring once you get to know him. A lover of performance and living life.


History: Darius grew up in Driftveil City, and would spend much time looking over the water. He would sing to himself out loud, unfortunately drawing stares and attention from the general public. He soon developed a bit of disdain for social norms and rules, and decided to join Team Trouble Cleff for a bit of a change.


Pokemon: Palpitoad, Vibrava


Talents: Perfect pitch, plays cello, guitar, bass, and some piano, Not good at dancing without prior choreography, but still decent. Can fight physically if needed.
Vocal Range: Bass II. Range: A♯1 - E4
Favorite Dance: Choreographed show choir dances.
 
Re: Team Trouble Cleff: Let the Heist Begin

@Lady Macabre; Your sign up is good, and I especially like Crimson's metallic face. But remember, you are all starting off as grunts who have been freshly recruited. You're 99% accepted, I just ask that you change his personality and history a bit. Btw, having an older character than Rhythm is fine. :)

@Singing in the Rain; Accepted, and thanks, I love you too! I can't say that the music theme will play out for the entire story, though it will definitely be a running motif.

- - -
@Lady Macabre; Upgraded to 100% accepted.

Re: Team Trouble Cleff: Let the Heist Begin

If contrabass is not a viable option for vocal range, I'll stick with bass. Otherwise, edited/fixed.
 
Re: Team Trouble Cleff: Let the Heist Begin

Wow, a music based criminal team? Count me in.

Name: The name's Kellin. Kellin Fuentes.

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Appearance: I stand at 170 cm. Kinda short for a ball player, I know. My hair's brown with the sides of my head shaved and a round face. I have my old man's eyes: pale blue, like an indoor swimming pool. I have a dark tan skin becase of playing outdoor most of the time, but I was really white when I was a kid. I'm usually seen in the team's uniform, but I like to wear a black hoodie when it's cold outside. I love music more than people, so I always keep a headphone around my neck.

Personality: Just your average country boy. I like to relax and stuff. Most of my boys said I'm a pretty crazy guy, but then again, those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music, so I don't really care. I'm a metalhead because metal music has some deep meaning and a powerful messages for us, unlike those crappy pop songs sung by a teen barely out of puberty. I'm pretty laid back overall, so don't be afraid to say hi or chill with me.

History: I'm your typical country boy. I was born and raised in Accumula Town. I used to play basketball in high school but fell in love with this Pokemon called Flygon from Hoenn region because of the voice of her wings. It's like a woman wailing in sorrow, ya hear? It's really beautiful. Some dude I met in a bar offered me a Vibrava if I join his team and hey, why not? Vibrava's gonna evolve to Flygon one day so yeah. Long live Team Trouble Cleff!

Pokemon: -. Female Vibrava named Nyra. She's my favorite.
-. Male Hoothoot named Metalbeak.

Talents: -. I'm a pretty good Point Guard back in high school.
-. I can do a death growl. Wanna hear?

Vocal Range: Tenor Leggiero

Favorite Dance: B-boy(breakdance) dance for sure

Re: Team Trouble Cleff: Let the Heist Begin

Name: Francesca (Frankie) Steele
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Appearance: Frankie is quite tall for a woman, standing at 5'9". Her light brown hair is styled in a pixie cut hairdo, and she will sometimes choose to wear a basic headband to keep the hair out of her face. Her skin is very pale, and freckles speckle her face and shoulders. Frankie has brown eyes and poor eyesight. She refuses to wear glasses, finding contacts to be too much of a hassle (so she basically walks around nearsighted). Her body figure is very lanky and she is constantly bitter about the fact that she isn't muscular. Clothing wise, she dresses very masculine and doesn't spend any time at all on her appearance.

Personality: Despite her looks, Frankie is very sweet and kind. The main reason why she appears as she does is out of pure laziness. Comfort is a major priority to Frankie, and as such, she doesn't want to waste time on doing something that would make her feel odd. Frankie has a lot of patience, this reason making her a good friend to talk to. She can be seen as quirky, and she has a tendency to ramble on a lot about pointless topics.

History: Frankie lived in Castelia City with her mother and younger brother. At a young age, she learned how to play trombone and loved everything about it. She grew to love music, even spending a lot of her free time studying complicated music theory. Upon hearing about Team Trouble Cleff, she immediately packed her bags and proceeded to join them. She isn't truly a bad person, but she enjoys getting into petty mischief for fun. People tend to assume she is a bad person due to her appearance, but she and her close family and friends know she joined the team due to her quirky nature and obsession with music.

Pokemon:

-Chatot (Male, Chari)
-Whismur (Female, Loudi)

Talents: After accidentally knocking her younger brother unconscious with her trombone, she learned that the instrument could cause major damage. Using this as her go to weapon of choice, she's become accustomed to bringing it everywhere. She is also skilled in playing it; her Pokemon enjoy listening to her play jazz.

Vocal Range: Contralto

Favorite Dance: Tap dancing

@Autumnbreeze; Accepted! & I'm glad you like the puns. xD
 
Re: Team Trouble Cleff: Let the Heist Begin

Just a small heads-up to anyone who was interested in joining, I will probably be starting this on Monday, the 11th. Sign ups will remain open, but I encourage you to either sign up or reserve ASAP.
 
Re: Team Trouble Cleff: Let the Heist Begin

Question: can I start the week after next if it starts before that?

You're free to join in whenever! (Well, as long as you join in at some point) You'll miss out on the first couple of missions, but it's nothing big. I'll mention you in the start up thread, but if you're going to be unavailable for a while than it's no biggie.



That said, I will not be starting this until Friday evening! Sorry for the wait, but I can assure you it will be worth it!
 
Not a band geek here ;p but I'll give this one a try since it's interesting.

Name: Jaden Lurk
Gender: Male
Age: 22

Appearance: Jaden has dark colored skin with short spiky black hair and brown eyes. He has broad shoulders along with an athletic built and slim, built legs. He wears a long black jacket that he usually has zipped up along with a matching pair of pants. He usually always carries his cell phone in one of his pants pockets along with his pokeball belt that he always keeps around his waist.

Personality: He's a very quiet and serious person, usually trying to keep his thoughts to himself and preferring to ponder on things before acting. Because of this he tends to be very cunning and watchful of others. Of course it's not like he doesn't have his faults, he can actually be a little jealous once he actually finds people he gets close with and his serioius demeanor usually makes people move away from him in fear. He's also very to the point and hard working, preferring to focus on the task at hand and look at it from a more analytical point of view instead of using his feelings.

History: Jaden was born in Castelia City, his family was pretty poor though so they had to do whatever they could in order to survive, because of this Jaden started going around the city acting as a pick pocket from a young age. However, he always had dreams of traveling the world and allowing his family to live a comfortable life. He got interested in dancing and started to learn everything he could, seeing it as his only way to get out. He got his Noibat when he was around 14, he had originally stolen Noibat from its previous trainer after he saw the way its trainer had treated it.

Pokemon: Noibat, Munchlax

Talents: Jaden is a master pick pocket and thief, this is thanks to his abilities when it comes to sneaking around. He's also adept in the art of Capoiera and also combines other dancing methods and uses them for combat.

Vocal Range:Baritone

Favorite Dance: Merengue
