Alright! So Jill convinced me to start this. Basically, it's going along with the plot of one of my stories, Fear Itself.

Basic Plot
Earth is ruled by Humans. When they realize that Pokemon are simply crowding their room, they enslave 99% of them, leaving only a minute group of them free. The enslaved are either dealt with as pets, or Pitted. Those who are Pitted are sent to The Pits, a series of chambers under every major city used for Pokemon fights- to the death. The Pokemon who last the longest are named reigning champion of their branch- an Infernape, the champion of the Fire Pits, for example. Life moves on in a careful balance. The important earn money from the bets the unimportant place on the fights, leading to a profitable way of dealing with the Pokemon menace. Their logic is this: Pokemon need to be dealt with, and if they can make a little money on the side, why not?
You are one of these four: a Human who believes Pokemon shouldn't be abused in this way, a Human who believes Pitting is perfectly fine and is willing to even help, a Pokemon who has either been Pitted, or who is free and trying to free the Pitted slaves.
The time is now to change the history of the world.

SPOTS FILLED UNLESS YOU VM ME

My Characters
Name: Muddle
Gender: Male
Age: 8
Species: Slowbro
Appearance: Your average Slowbro, with many scars on both his skin and his shell. One of his ears has a piece missing due to a bite in one of his fights.
Personality: Muddle is very intelligent, but lazy, and does not show his smarts outside of battle. His shell usually talks for him, and it either spouts nonsense or insults whoever it's talking to.
Place of Residence: The Pits

Name: Finch "Bullfinch" Gloren
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Species: Human
Appearance: 5' 3" and curvy, Finch has hazel eyes, brown hair always kept in a ponytail or bandanna, and wears a necklace with a silver cast of a hummingbird skull on it at all times. She usually wears baggy pants and thin shirts, accompanied by black army boots that reach her knees. She carries a dagger clipped to both of her boots, and one clipped to the right side of her pants, all of them covered by her pants and shirt respectively.
Personality: Finch is quiet around strangers, but around her friends she is loud and random, often accidentally freaking others out with her energy. If insulted or provoked, Finch will not hesitate to physically handle an argument. She will not give up until she is unconscious, or someone of importance to her is endangered. She loves to read and polish her daggers.
Place of Residence: Avanguard City
Other: Finch has an Umbreon named Lotus who she cares dearly for, and is willing to kill other humans to free the Pitted slaves.

Name: Lotus
Gender: Male
Age: 4
Species: Umbreon
Appearance: Long scar across his left side and a thin one through the circle on his forehead
Personality: Lotus is quiet and thoughtfull, only speaking when giving orders or conversing with Finch or Fauss. He doesn't talk to strangers, and uses his natural quiet tendencies to sneak up on his victims.
Place of Residence: Avanguard City

Name: Fauss
Gender: Male
Age: 9
Species: Gengar
Appearance: Shiny Gengar, with olive green eyes. One of his canines is chipped from a battle in The Pits.
Personality: Fauss used to be shy and easily frightened, but after four years in The Pits he grew toughened and cold. He is only happy around Finch, and usually ignores Lotus as much as possible. He doesn't think scaring others is fun, but he will use his species' tendency to suffocate their prey in battle.
Place of Residence: Used to be The Pits, saved by Finch; now Avanguard City

Name: Alexander Kousanagi
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Species: Human
Appearance: Short raven haired, 5'4", looks to only be twelve, attractive for the age he appears
Personality: He has never believes pokemon deserve to be maltreated. In fact, he finds them quite "cute" or as he says "kawaii." Although he doesn't like to be confused about his age, Alex acts even younger than he appears although he is a pervert by nature, came from a family of popular perverts. His best friend is his growlithe, it's also his only friend.
Place of Residence: Avanguard City
 
I'll join, I could probably do two paragraphs... I'd need to use two characters... but that's fine.
I hope this doesn't die like the last one... :(

Name: Briar Mosiac

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Species: Human

Appearance: Briar has dark red hair which is usually kept in a ponytail that reaches to her mid-back, matching bangs sweeping across her forehead. She has almond-shaped dark crimson eyes that are usually narrowed in scrutiny of others. She has light peach skin that is not tanned, yet not extremely pale. She is 5'4" which helps accent her slimness. Briar's everyday wear consists of a black hooded cape (think little red riding-hood, only black and longer), a black ninja-style shirt that has stripes of dark crimson upon it, either black pants or black shorts depending on what she is doing, and crimson sandals. She also has a rose pin that she keeps hidden from other people.

Personality: Briar is somewhat of a loner, not much of a talker or a group person. She has no qualms about fighting or resorting to violence, however, she feels that doing so for sport is wrong. She is disgusted by the people who actually bet on the lives of other creatures, thinking that all living things are equal. She has a personal liking for fighting, but only if it's her doing the fighting. Briar has a long memory, and a thirst for revenge, so you do not want to double-cross her. She also loves to read and learn about things.

Place of Residence: Avanguard City

Other: Briar comes from a wealthy family who excell at the Pits, betting on the right Pokémon every time.


Name: Anima Dracolin

Gender: Female

Age: 16ish

Species: Pokémon-Dragonair

Appearance: A regular Dragonair, except for her grey eyes.

Personality: Anima is very calm, serene, and flowy. She is hardly bothered by anything, and is usually found resting under a tree, looking up at the sky. It is very rare for Anima to lose her temper, but when she does, it is as if a massive storm has been unleashed. Anima is usually the voice of reason; odd considering she doesn't have much of a voice. She can keep Briar from fighting, but cannot control herself when she loses her temper. Her words are usually somewhat old-fashioned.

Place of Residence: Avangard City, posing as Briars' pet.

Other: Anima can fully communicate with humans, but keeps this fact a secret from most. She was also about to become leader of her clan when the humans attacked.

So... hope this is okay. Oh, and just so you know, after this week, my name will change to 'Fwee'.
 
Yup, perfect. c; Approved, o' course.
Weeeell, yeah, I'm sorry I let that one die. ;w;
I'll probably remake it sometime soon, but the plot was going literally nowhere in my plans. lu so that's my fault. :c
 
XD
It's not your fault, it's all the inactive players. But the plot was kinda dying... but the point is; no one person is to blame, for we all had a part.
 
c: Well, thanks. That actually makes me feel better. <3

One spot left, anyone want in?
 
Name: Blade
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Species: Gallade
Appearance: Gray where white would be a blue where green would be. Long scratches on the arm blades from fights along with a long scar diagonally across the face, along with some small scars on his body.
Personality: Blade has a cold demeanor and tries not to make friends because he knows he might have to fight them, he does have a small group of friends though. Blade has grown up in the pits and that's all he's ever known. Blade has also heard rumors of the over world in the past but dismisses them as crazy rumors, though inside he hopes they are real and that they will be real again soon.
Place of Residence: The Pits
Other:
 
Accepted. c:
Alright, that means we can start as soon as Jilly posts her form!
