Alright, I've been wanting to start an Pokémon RP for a long time now, so I decided to just post and see if anyone's interest. c: Here's the base plot:
Once upon a time, the world was ruled by Humans. However, over time Pokémon started developing higher and higher IQs, eventually exceeding even the smartest of the Human race. With this knowledge, they slowly but surely overtook the Earth, developing societies of their own. These societies consisted of the Heart Guild, containing in its masses Pokémon with clear heads and strong emotions. They are known as the most calm and kind society, and do not believe in keeping Humans as pets or slaves. They would prefer if everyone got along in harmony. Another society was called the Section 8 Guild, named after an old term used in the Human military to describe those who jumped headfirst into dangerous situations. This Guild consisted mostly of Pokémon with strong bodies and stronger opinions, who thought it was the correct thing to do to enslave all Humans - after all, they'd done the same to their Ancestors. And then, there was the most feared Guild of all, so reclusive that only a few loyal and free Pokémon were allowed to join every year. The Collection of Souls, a society filled with those few blessed Pokémon with ability to take the soul out of dying Pokémon and Humans. They 'collected' these taken, or saved, souls, in a large temple constructed much like that of the old Human Egyptians, using Human slaves to build it. They worshiped 'Gods' much like Egyptians, including Mew, the mother of all species, and Arceus, the creator of the universe. The Collection of Souls are completely fine with enslaving Humans, although there a few in their ranks who are compassionate in that regard, saying that they would one day be not better than their once-enslavers.
This particular story begins in present day, with Pokémon and their Guilds ruling everything. You will be in the ranks of either the Heart Guild, the Section 8 Guild, or the Collection of Souls Guild. You are a Pokémon, with as many emotions, fears, and beliefs as any Human. Whether you hate your enslavers and enslaved, or feel they should be released, you are able to make a stand. Now, join the uprising of belief and petty revenge!
Update: Start-up thread will be posted on Sunday, so get your apps up!

My Characters
Name Samson Dove
Age 27
Gender Male
Species Staraptor
Guild Section 8
Beliefs That Humans deserve to be enslaved for their slander against Pokémon. He also secretly believes in the Gods.
Appearance Rather large for a Staraptor, with darker colors than normal Staraptors, and ocean blue eyes. His crest is black, and the red is a deep maroon. He has a few scars on the outside of his right wing, which can hinder his flight at times when stress is high. Because of this, he is partially retired from the active military forces, and has become the Leader of Section 8.
Personality Proud and able to be very intimidating, Samson is not afraid to shove his beliefs in your face until they change yours. He has a great hatred of Humans, and would prefer they were extinct than in the slavery of Pokémon. He is secretly in a sort of love with the leader of The Collection of Souls, but will sooner kill anyone who says so. He rarely sits still, often humming under his breath or tapping his foot in an agitated gesture.
Bio Born into the end of the war between Pokémon and Humans, he grew up with a strong hatred of them. His family owned a few slaves, and slander against them was common and never punished. When he grew older, he joined the military forces, assigned to keep slaves in check. He stayed in active duty until the age of twenty-five, when he was targeted by a member of the Heart Guild accidentally, resulting in the scars on his wing. He retired from active duty and became the leader of Section 8, with an adoration of his fellow Pokémon and a deep-seeded hatred of all of Humanity.
Other Believes in both Mew, Arceus, Ho-oh (the sun God), Lugia (the sea God), and Celebi (the earthen God).
Role Leader of the Section 8 Guild
Name Muse Savuntin
Age Unknown, presumed around 30
Gender Unknown, presumed male
Species Grovyle
Guild The Collection of Souls
Beliefs That everyone is part of the Earth and its Gods, but that Humans have damaged their place and must resolve to make peace with both the Earth itself and Arceus.
Appearance Shiny coloring, with violet eyes. Some of the fronds on his arms are ripped and some have holes, while the fronds on his head are scar less. He is muscular for his species, and chose not to evolve into a Sceptile, as he is quite content with his current form. Very, very agile, and strong enough to take on just about anything his size.
Personality Generally quiet and calm, merely observing the goings-on of his city from the temple's highest room. Has very little in the ways of anger and contempt, but can be smug, petty, and even depressed, although he doesn't show it to his people. Longs to be in a healthy relationship, as his bride-to-be was cold and abrasive until the day a rouge slave killed her. (that slave disappeared mysteriously, but of course no one asked about it)
Bio Born and raised without any sheltering from the many views of the world, Muse eventually got tired of arguing about what he believed and started to gather the few Pokémon who wanted out of all of the patronizing and forceful hatred. He and his bride-to-be, an Altaria by the name of Luneva, gathered about twenty followers and many hundreds more slaves, and set about building their own society. Within a few years, they succeeded with both Human technology and their own more advanced science. His best friend and right-hand man is a Nidorino by the name of Andy, whom protected him from attack on their journey to build a new Guild.
Other Wears an orb on an elastic cord around his neck that holds the soul of his first harvested vessel.
Role Leader of The Collection of Souls
Name Andy Mulligan
Age 32
Gender Male
Species Nidoran
Guild The Collection of Souls
Beliefs Neutral, and tries to stay out of any arguments in that regard. Secretly wants to believe in the Gods, but just doesn't have the will of belief and scientific fact to do so.
Appearance Shiny coloration, with a few of the spikes on his back broken off. His left ear has a large scarred-over bite mark on it, which took some good amount of both muscle and hearing with it. He has forest-green eyes, with a hint of hazel around the pupil. His facial horn is about the only one that is undamaged, and the claws on his feet are slightly longer than average.
Personality Quick to anger, like most of his species, but has learned to control it since becoming Muse's best and only friend. Will attack easily when insulted or goaded, and will rarely feel any sympathy for the attacked afterwards. Seen as a personal bodyguard to Muse, he has found it hard not to scoff at his friend's beliefs - after all, he was formerly a part-time scientist in one of the Heart's best facilities, and needs scientific fact before he'll believe that one God created the entirety of everything.
Bio Born and raised in the Heart Guild, he became friends with Muse at a young age, and quickly grew attached to him. He became very jealous as Luneva attracted Muse's attentions, and volunteered to protect him on their journey to gain back his affection. It seems to have worked, because now he's his right-hand man and most trusted ally. He is fiercely protective of Muse, and the one time that anyone dared to attack their party of hopeful believers and slaves, he almost gave his life for him.
Other None
Role Right-Hand Man of The Collection of Souls' Leader
Name Jennifer Partridge
Age 29
Gender Female
Species Floatzel
Guild The Heart Guild
Beliefs Believes that all species are equal and should be treated as such, even humans. However, she believes that war is not the answer, and if we let every slave go and build a treaty, then perhaps we can live in peace.
Appearance The normal everyday Floatzel, with a slightly more feminine form and longer eyelashes. She also has hazel eyes.
Personality With a large heart, Jennifer was not made for battle, but for debate and the peaceful life of The Heart. She cares much too deeply for every life, and has never owned a slave, nor have her parents. She actually hid a few of her friends' slave's children in her home until they grew, before keeping them as assistants and treating them as family; namely, a male named Shu with much too blue eyes, and a girl named Kai with blonde hair like gold.
Bio Her parents were always against slavery, so when their child was born they taught her to be kind to every being and to never judge anyone by their looks. Thus, she was never tainted by generations of hatred for humans, and she finds them fascinating specimens of the failures of evolution. At the age of nineteen, she saved one of her best friends' slave's son from being taken, a little boy named Kai with a brave heart and beautiful blue eyes. At twenty-five, with Shu now sixteen, she found another child about to be sold into slavery; a girl named Kai with hair like silk gold. She adopted her in secret, and keeps the two of them hidden during the day and in the open at night. They share the spare bedroom in her home.
Other She respects the Heart Guild's Leader with her whole being, and will fiercely protect him if need be.
Role The Right-Hand Girl of The Heart Guild's Leader
Name Anthony Gavant
Age 37
Gender Male
Species Togekiss
Guild The Rising
Beliefs That every being is equal, and if not treated as such, than force may be used without guilt to change their mind. He also believes in a sort a Gaia, or Earth spirit, and that the harvesting of souls is both beneficial and very, very creepy.
Appearance Shiny coloring, with slightly darker tan for his fur. His body is covered in pink scars, ranging from pocket marks to teeth and knife gouges to shrapnel patterning. He also was once bitten in the left leg, breaking the bone in two places, and the limp will return when he is exhausted enough.
Personality Afraid of very little; while many call this quality headstrong, he thinks of it more as that there is no place for fear on the battlefield. He also loves to fly, and is usually at his happiest when doing so; although when chatting with Gavin may be a close second.
Bio Raised by parents whom had no time for their son, as they were both deeply involved with the war with the Human race. His father passed on the battlefield, and his mother a few years later by her own hand. From then on, he blocked out pain and fear, leading to many a valiant victory and horrible defeat. He joined the Army of Section 8 at the age of twenty-four, and was honorably discharged at age thirty for 'drastic injuries obtained in battle'. He was deeply offended by this, and abandoned Section 8, going off on his own and building The Rising to help those he had once shot down.
Other He and Gavin have bromance. For sure.
