Team Rocket, in an attempt to come back to power after failing in Johto, have begun experimentation into giving humans the ability to use Pokemon attacks. (BTW, I'm following the idea that Gen I and Gen III are simultaneous as are Gen II and Gen IV, this means that Kanto is how it was in GSC) because of this, a virus has spread across the world, transforming random people into Pokemon. The virus' symptoms before the actual transformation include heavy exhaustion, high fever, and/or lack of thirst or hunger. The last is most dangerous as some afflicted died from not eating for the days they were sick.

No one knows why these certain people have changed, and some of the transformed are even disgusted at the idea of being half human. There have been several attempts by some Pokemon professors, such as Ivy, Birch, and Oak (Birch having recently transformed into an Mightyena hybrid) to reverse the changes, but nothing has been successful. Though it has been noted that a couple Hybrids have been infected with Pokerus.

These transformations happened a month ago, giving most of the new hybrids time to get used to their powers. You are (possibly) a hybrid, or at least know a hybrid, and are in search of a cure or possibly other hybrids. Watch out for Team Rocket, though, because they have been seen near some recent hybrid disappearances...

Name:
Gender:
Age: (age=level when determining evolution, unless you give good reason)
Hybrid Species?: (Approval required for Legendary or Ditto hybridization)
Appearance:
Clothing: (If you still wear any. Remember, Pokemon don't need clothes!)
Pokemon Team?:
Are you a Rocket?: Y/N
Bio:

My character:

Name: Saigo Kaijuu (following western conventions)
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Hybrid Species?: Lucario
Appearance: Blue fur-like mustache and eyebrows, but black hair that tends to fall in clumps of four on his head. His ears are slightly pointed and also covered in blue fur. On his chest and hands are the spikes of a Lucario, and he has one's tail. His legs are double-jointed and are covered in the same blue fur as his arms.
Clothing: Long black coat that covers up his tail and arms. He wears a shirt, but the spike on his chest has punched a hole through it. He still wears pants, but they get uncomfortable at times with his tail.
Pokemon Team?: Flare the Charizard (starter), Sylvia the (Shiny) Ditto , Barret the Metang, Vincent the Spiritomb, Keitaro the Shuckle, and Hyper the Jolteon
Are you a Rocket?: N
Bio: A trainer originally from Kanto who recently entered Sinnoh after losing in the Johto League. He had visited Hoenn before that, and while he collected the badges, he never got around to battling the Elite Four of the area. Only a week after managing to catch Vincent, he was struck by the virus. Thankfully, it was after he had already reached Solaceon, where he was taken care of. After he recovered and discovered his Lucario Traits, he freaked out. He has since calmed down and learned how to use his Aura Senses and Powers.

You need to describe what your character looks like and give a bio on him. The first is to help with visualization when other people read the RP, the second is so that we can know what kind of history/personality he has.

The fields in the template aren't there as suggestions, folks.

Sorry for the double post here, but I thought I'd put up a couple of little rules and suggestions:
- No God moding. This is an RP standard
- Your Pokemon Hybrid form does not have to be the same as a Pokemon from your team (as shown by Saigo who has no Lucario)
- You can't be a Ghost-type Hyrid, as you would have to already be dead, and corpses don't catch diseases.
- Multiple people can have the same Pokemon as a Hybrid form, though the limitations for legendaries and Ditto still apply.
- Hybrids are able to understand the language of Pokemon, so if you choose to be a Hybrid, you can have conversations with your team (if you have one).
- Attacks learnable by the Pokemon your character is (potentially) a Hybrid of can also be learned by the character in question, but it is difficult to do without a teacher or TM.
- The Leagues are still out on the matter of allowing Hybrids to be Pokemon trainers, but considering some of the Elites and Champions (I haven't picked any of them, so if someone wants to play as one, go ahead) are Hybrids, things seem to be in favor of "yes."
- Have fun, that's why we're RPing, isn't it?

- Oh, and please fill out all fields of the character form.

Thought I would join, so here's mine!

Name: Travis Daniel Corcino
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Hybrid Species?: Monferno
Appearence: His face has the marking of Monferno's, gold bands on arms, has grown a tail with a flame on the tip. Feet can grip like hands. Has orange fur with tan fur on stomach. Hair looks like a Monferno's
Clothing: Wears shorts with a hole for tail (uncomfortable at times), a grey bandana in case of sandstorms, a torn shirt (no sleeves), sandels
Team: Raptor the Staravia (m), Leo the Luxio (m), Dart the Croagunk (m), Tails the Buizel (m), Jackie the Riolu (f)
With Team Rocket?: Heck no!
Bio: Travis was heading from Pastoria city to Veilstone City for the Cobble badge when he was ambushed, along with a girl named Victoria Williams he was escorting to Veilstone (she has family there). They manange to break free, only to have a net casted on them. When the got the net off, they were stabbed with tranquilizer darts. Travis barely manage to shrugged the drug off. Victoria wasn't so lucky. The Rocket sped away with their hostage. When Travis tried to follow, he felt incrediblly light-headed. He usually felt this way when he has a fever, but this like nothing he ever had. He instantly pasted out - in a puddle of water, facedown. If it wasn't for the generosity of a wandering Trainer, he would have drowned.

1 hour later, Travis regained conscience - only to have to go through his mutation into a half human, half Monferno. The pain was excruiating. This, not only freaked out Travis, but his new compainion, who introduces herself as Olivia Masterson.

Travis and Olivia are now searching for Victoria, asking any Hybrids for help and assistance. They are, at the time, heading to Veilstone City to tell Victoria's family about her abduction.

Along the way, they find an Pokemon egg trapped in ice. They managed to break the egg free from its icy prison

Excellent! I'm glad to finally have someone join! But I'd rather we wait for a few more people to join before we get started on actually playing, alright?

ooc: may I joineth?
IC:
Name: Celeb
Gender: female
Age: 17
Hybrid Species?: quilava
Appearance: Her ears have turn into green little quilava ears, and her hair has turned into a dark blue. A small red dot is inbetween her eyes and a slightly bigger red oval sits above it. Around her wrists there are more small red dots.
Clothing: Top: Long sleeve black shirt that hugs around the top of her belley, right beneath the bust area. Bottom: Black tripp cargo shorts which hang to her knees, red chains fall into an x - formation in the back and connecting to her right hip. A studded belt keeps them from falling off. Shoes: weres black converse, but prefers to run in her bare feet. Jewelry: a dog chain (necklace) hangs at her neck supporting two silver keys.
Pokemon Team?: Havocis-Gengar(f)lv 40/ Jeremi-Primeape (m)lv 40
Are you a Rocket?: nope
Bio: Celeb has just recently ported in the Canalave city within the Sinnoh's regions. She hasn't much thought about going for badges because her pokemon are more adventurers than fighters. Though their battle styles have strengthened together, when they are apart they find themselves lost about their tactics. Celeb was traning Jeremi within Slateport's beaches when the virus struck her. Her features were changed including weird pokemon powers such as ember and quick attack. She also has learned double team which her pokemon friends had taught her. (thats their main move) After some training with her pokemon she decided to continue adventuring and phtographing special moments with pokemon, they bought a ship and set sail for canalave city. Here they hope to find more information about the virus.
 
Good to have you aboard celeblaiz. And just looking at where people have put where they're near when struck by the virus, I'm gonna list 'em here for the heck of it.

Saigo transformed near Solaceon
Travis is headed for Veilstone
Gold is somewhere near Mt. Coronet (That's what I infer from you mentioning having just evolved a Magnezone)
Celeb is traveling to Canalave.
 
Name : Cynthia
Gender : Female
Age: 23
Hybrid Species : Roserade (shiny)
Appearance: (I'm assuming we all know what Cynthia normally looks like, here...) Her hair has turned platinum blonde, almost to the point of pure white, and she has a Roserade's mask over her normal eyes. Her boquets are purple and black (because she's a shiny Roserade), but because human's arms are so much longer than a Roserade's, they come out of her elbows instead, and she still has her hands. She can use the poison thorn whips in the boquets. Her skin has taken on a light greenish tint, but it's not really noticable except for a 'collar' of golden skin around her neck.
Clothing: Her regular outfit, without the jacket (it would get in the way of the flowers). Her top has 3/4 sleeves that stop just before the flowers; she doesn't wear her scarf anymore, either.
Pokemon Team : Garchomp (f), Spiritomb (f), Gastrodon (East, f), Milotic (f), Roserade (f), Lucario (m)
Are you a Rocket? : Pretty obvious no, here...
Bio : For a while, Cynthia's exhaustion was attributed to stress brought on from being the Sinnoh League Champion. Her battles were lackluster, she refused meals and ate only when forced to, and she just didn't seem to have the energy she used to. Though she insisted that she was fine, the other members of the Elite Four insisted that she take a break, and escorted her back to her home in Celestic Town, where she came down with a raging fever which lasted for about a week. When the fever finally broke, she discovered that she had become a Hybrid. She has since stayed in Celectic Town at the insistance of her grandparents and sister, but is feeling the urge to travel once more and hunt down the Rockets to try and force them to reveal the cure for the Hybrid Virus. During her time in Celestic, she has trained alongside her own Roserade in an effort to best utilize her newfound abilities.
 
Ohh, Emerald_Dragonite! Welcome to this humble RPG. Hey, Megidrazard! How long until we start? We're up to five members.
 
Just gonna wait for maybe two more people (hopefully one of them will be a rocket, 'cause I don't want to play all the bad guys!)

Welcome to the life of a Hybrid, Emerald_Dragonite! And it's good to see a non-OC being played
 
Name: Bruno
Gender: Male
Age: 50
Hybrid Species: Machamp
Appearance: Four arms, slightly grey tinted skin. has a tan goatee, slightly more muscular than he was before.
Clothing: Brunos pants, black headband, also sporting a black belt at the hips
Pokemon Team:Steelix, Hariyama, Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, Hitmontop, Nidoking
Are you a Rocket: N
Bio: Current member of the Kanto Elite Four. Taking a break from the Elite Four to investigate the strange epidemic of the hybridization. As far as he knows the Kanto Members of the Elite Four have taken interest in the happenings so the Kanto region Elite Four have currently shut down as a result. So he has set out to the Sinnoh region to investigate to find out the cause.
 
Glad to have you aboard Meggido360. Now we just need one more person who will hopefully be a Rocket.

Maybe we'll get someone who's not a hybrid.
 
ooc: I can most certainly double as a non hybrid Rocket member, if you would allow me too
 
Alrighty then, post your people and we'll get started soon after! ( iguess this opens up having second charaacters for people, though I was hoping to keep everyone to one. *shrugs* No use crying over spilled milk)
