After the collapse of Teams Magma and Aqua, the Hoenn region was virtually crime free. Three years later, a new team has risen, Team Heart. Like Teams Magma and Aqua, Team Heart wants to control the world. Unlike Magma and Aqua, Team Heart actually has a way to achieve their goals.

Throughout Hoenn, wild Pokemon are becoming more violent. A peaceful Pidgey might see you in a field, and, instead of fleeing like it normally would, it would attack you. Wild Pokemon have become stronger, faster, and harder to defeat than before. Researchers are at a loss to explain this, and attacks are happening more and more frequently. It's only a matter of time until someone gets hurt.

Rules:

  • No spamming.
  • No double posting.
  • Absolutely NO godmodding.
  • You can have more than one character IF YOU CAN HANDLE IT.
  • You cannot be a member of Team Heart. Team Heart is purely an NPC group. If needed, you can control them, for example, like speaking. If you're battling them, I'll take the place of them, unless if I let you do the battle, which I probably will.
  • Battling a wild Pokemon will definitely involve ME controlling the wild Pokemon.
  • No legendaries.
  • Please try to use proper punctuation and capitalization.

I'll give it a go. Professor Aaron Reese is back on.


Name: Aaron Reese
Age: 25
Gender: Male

Appearance: Aaron is tall man with short brown hair, who is generally always in need of a good shave. He has gray eyes that in certain lights shine as a pale blue. A slight shadow of a scar exists underneath his right eye. Aaron is hardly ever seen without his black flat cap or a matching black trenchcoat. Underneath that is generally a blue wardrobe, consisting of jeans and a blue t-shirt that probably has a couple ketchup stains.

Personality: Aaron is a rather curios man with an arrogant streak. Often times he'll say something and it will be delivered in a way that sounds condescending. But at heart, he's not a bad guy. He talks perhaps a little too much, but there's always a point to what he says, if you listen hard enough and weed around the random bits. If you ever need someone to talk too, Aaron is the one to go to.

History: Aaron Reese was like any other trainer. He left his home of Olivine and traveled the regions of his country cataloging and discovering pokemon. His love for discovery led to various expeditions into some of the last frontiers of the Pokemon World, including but not limited to, his famous voyage into the Whirl Islands, which can be read about in Reese's famous novel, Beneath the Currents. Aaron, because of his thirst for knowledge, love of reading, and overall outlook on life, was asked to join the Interregional Researcher's League. He currently is staying at the Cove Lily Hotel, on a trip to find the fabled Sealed Chamber of the Ancients.

Aaron has a father, a mother, two brothers, and a sister. He spends time with them when he can, but as his life has led down some rather busy paths, family time is a seldom occurrence nowadays. He also has a girlfriend who manages the library.

Job: A professional researcher who founded the Olivine City Library.

Pokemon:

Species: Typhlosion
Name: Tony
Moves: Flamethrower, Flame Wheel, Strength, Fire Punch

Species: Espeon
Name: Chloe
Moves: Psychic, Dig, Future Sight, Protect

Species: Houndoom
Name: Victor
Moves: Flamethrower, Fire Fang, Dark Pulse, Shadow Ball

Species: Gyrados
Name: Reed
Moves: Surf, Thunderbolt, Dragon Pulse, Ice Beam

Other: Aaron has a passion for reading, writing, and drawing. He and his pokemon have been together for a long, long time. Also, Victor and Chloe are a couple.

NOTE: As a personal request, can this not be one of those rp's in which only three people participate and spend hours trading one liners until we have 10 pages in one day and no one else has a clue what happened?
 
I'll give it a shot.

Name: Saya Kinasuke.
Age: 19.
Gender: Female.
Appearance: With her legs being longer than her body, Saya stands at 5'6". Her hair is bright red, which she keeps cut short and spiked. Her eyes are a bright shade of emerald green. She wears dark blue jeans and a white shirt that has sleeves that go down a little past her elbows. She always wears white tennis shoes and a pair of ear rings. The ear rings are dark green.
Personality: Looking at the glass as half-full, Saya has a cheerful personality, but is also quite childish. She loves secrets and she is good at keeping them. She is, however, somewhat of a clutz, tending to trip over her own feet or dropping stuff.
History: Saya was born in Floaroma town, but she didn't enjoy her live there. Her family once visited Jubilife, and since then, Saya had always wanted to live in the city. One of her friends used to live in Hoenn, and after hearing what Hoenn was like, Saya decided she wanted to live there. She arrived in Slateport when she was 17, and has wondered Hoenn for the past two years.

Saya is the oldest child in her family. She has one brother and two sisters who are twins, three uncles, two aunts, one grandfather and one grandmother. Her parents and siblings still live in Floaroma Town.

Her lips are always bright pink and lipsticked.

Personality: Naomi is a person who loves the limelight. She is unabashedly ruthless and will do anything to get her way. Her pretty exterior hides a cruel and manipulative interior. With just one sinister smile she can convince you everything she says is true. Persuasive and cunning, she can seem fox-like. Naomi does have good traits though. She is always honest and is determined. When she forges a bond with someone she will never cross them. Naomi can be flirtatious however there is usually a hidden motive behind her advances.

History: Naomi Synclair was not born with that name. She was born the daughter or two famous coordinators with quite the bohemian lifestyle. Her eccentric parents named her Pokéball. Once Naomi was 10 she convinced them to change it. She was very sick of her parents relaxed attitudes and left home at fourteen.

I'm just recycling my character from Order of the Ancients if that's alright ^__^

Name: Jericho Frost
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Jericho has messy, sharp, frosty blue hair that flows with even the slightest breeze. He has bright, yellow eyes and pale, snowy skin. His long, chilly breaths are always visible as a cold cloud of white. He stands at just above 6' tall and has well built. He always wears sleeveless shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes, whether in blistering heat or freezing cold.
Personality: Jericho is very lighthearted in any situation, no matter how serious or morbid. More often than not, he's kind to anyone and everyone around him, though he's a bit full of himself. He's very vain as well, rarely taking into consideration battle potential when catching and raising Pokemon.
History: Jericho was born in the outter reaches of SnowPoint City, having had to deal with the harshest winters and most unrewarding summers on the planet, Jericho soon became acustomed to the cold. He and his family lived in a humble cabin in the mountains, and each and every day he and his father would have to chop wood with the aid of their Pokemon just to keep from freezing to death. When he was old enough, he set of on his journey, hoping to make enough money to move his parents away from their icy prison and let them live peaceful, happy lives.

He found time and books. He also found, to his delinght, that there was a daycare opening in Sootopolis.
