The Order of Ancients

Storyline:

In the beginning, there was an egg, from which Arceus hatched, that sprung from the void in the center of the universe. The shards of this egg flew out in all directions flying through time, space, light, darkness, and spirit; they gained life and power and took form. Arceus during his labors stopped for but a second to gaze upon these entities. Seven were pure beings that had balance within their hearts; however, every flock has black sheep. The other four had hearts black as coal, but one who had more power than the other ten entities combined had an even blacker heart. Arceus seeing this feared for the safety of the world he was creating and flung this entity back into the void and sealed it off for one thousand years. The other entities feared for their own existence as well and bowed down to him and pledged their allegiance. But, the three with black hearts did not truly mean what they had said so Arceus told the seven pure entities to seal them away within time, space, and destruction respectively. As the pure entities toiled away to fulfill Arceus’s wishes, the god Pokémon labored again and created seven worlds in gratitude of the pure beings. To fill these lands Arceus created people and creatures called Pokémon. All of their labors finished, each entity departed to govern and protect their lands. In those early day’s peace reigned and the people prospered; however, some grew arrogant and it was clear that evil was tainting their hearts. So, the governors of each land, a group that would be come to known as the Order of Ancients and Arceus created a island temple over the sealed void that would contain all of the evil that was seeping through. However, their effort was in vain because the heart of their people was already tainted, but there were few who remained pure of heart. But, in their arrogance the people grew tired of the Order and Arceus, and told them to leave. Arceus departed for another realm and told his people that he would come if they all called upon him; the Order each hid within the heart of their land and devoted their power to keeping the void sealed.

The Conflict:

The seal on the void has started to weaken due to its dependency upon the power of the Order, which is waning. Also, in the absence of guarding the three other dark entities, they have escaped their prisons, and are now seeking to set loose the great evil that resides within the void.

Where You Come In:

The Order not being able to turn to Arceus, have sent out a call to you, a pure human soul, who can take up the mantle and reignite the power and keep the void sealed. Or you immediately assume the role of one of the Knights who have just broken free and are starting to gather the 16 Plates of Arceus, which would make the One all but invincible, which were scattered when Arceus sealed the One into the void.

The Rules:

(a) No godmodding
(b) Please post at least one paragraph (five sentences) per post (Exception: Dialogue.)
(c) No battles (either with Gifts or Pokémon) without me or the CO (Co-Operator) to “judge” the battle (Exception: Wild Pokémon battles.)
(d) Most NPC’s you can control, however, please check with me or the CO first.
(e) I’m going to work on the four strike system. You get three warnings and then on the fourth rule violation you get kicked and banned.
(f) Have fun!

My Sign-Up:

Name: Anastasia Nicole Smith
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Region: Orre
Appearance: Anastasia has brown hair that falls down to her feet, which she keeps in one long thick braid down the back with the rest loose and in the front she has two long thin strands of hair on either side of her face. She wears a long sleeved white shirt that flares out at the end of the sleeves, and has long golden cloth “wings” that fall down from the back of the shirt and trail along the ground. She wears black bell bottom jeans, with the left leg cut off from the knee down exposing a weird marking. She is very thin, and has a pale skin tone that is highlighted by her clothing. Her eyes are a blue color that is almost as dark as sapphires. Her lips are a pale pink that compliments gleaming white teeth. She wears blue slip-on flip-flops on both feet.
Marking: On her left leg she has a vine that starts at her foot and twines up her leg and makes a lily right under her knee cap.
Alliance: Order of Ancients
Personality: Anastasia is very arrogant of her beauty and smarts, but once you really get to know her you can see that she has a pure heart and would help anyone if they needed it. She often will wear a mask of confidence but a lot of the time she is really unsure of herself. Her gift has influenced herself by kind of toning down her ego, but she still will say that she is the most important person of a team. She’s very lovable after a time, not only because of her beauty, but because once you get to know her you can’t help but be drawn to her.
History: She was born in Gateon Port because her mother, the mayor of Phenac City, and her father were attending the annual Leadership Council of Orre. She spent several months in Gateon until she was old enough that she could be taken to Phenac. In those early days, she was adored by everyone because of her beauty. After going back to Phenac, she started her education very early as she shown advance knowledge (for her age) of Pokémon and various other subjects. At ten she was known as a prodigy, having already completed middle school and entering into high school and taking several other programs that include music, dancing, foreign language, ect…

After completing high school in two years, she got a job as the town spokesperson. However, her happy life was shattered as on her fifteenth birthday her father fell ill to leukemia. Shortly after turning sixteen her father died and her mother retired due to stress and grief. She continued her job as town spokesperson for another two years before leaving to go on a journey to discover herself. Almost three years later, she heard the call of a voice and was marked for greatness.
Gift: She can use magic from a book that she found inside a chest in a lake but it drains her the more she uses it and the level of which the spell is.
Pokémon on Hand: (a) Milotic/Beauty~ One day when Anastasia was very young, she went fishing with her grandfather in a small cave with a river in it, and fished out a Feebas. She could see that the small creature was very unselfconfident due to its appearance, and vowed to make it the most beautiful and powerful Milotic ever. She trained and cared for the Feebas who she called Beauty, and eventually it evolved into a Milotic. After Milotic evolved it became almost as arrogant as Anastasia but cared for everyone without showing it.
(b) Absol/Seer~ After growing up and bit and starting her journey throughout the world she left Orre for a bit and traveled through all the other regions until she came to a hidden land inside Hoenn called Forina. She explored the valley land and came upon a family of Absol, one of the clearly younger ones, walked right up to her started rubbing her on the leg like a puppy. Wherever she went the baby Absol followed, the family of Absol also followed but not as close. Finally, after wondering many nights of why this would happen she thought that the Absol might be attracted to the disasters that might lie in her future.
(c) Tropius/Forina~ After capturing the Absol that was following her she was traveling through the valley at night when she entered a strange cave that looked like it had been excavated. Then, as she was about to leave a rock fall started right at the mouth of the cave! She thought that maybe Beauty could do something to help but she couldn’t and Seer was too young to be able to; when all hope was lost she heard a loud blasting sound followed by several rocks shooting out of the blockage and hitting the opposite wall. When she looked through the opening she saw a Tropius standing there as if saying “Challenge me!” And so she did and won!
CO Application: Obviously not...

DEAR HOLY ARCEUS I AM STUPID! ;_; This is nothing against you Zephy, but you made me realize how pointless it is to have a person with absolutely no history at all (being created from the shards of Arceus's egg) have a history! I NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER!!! *slaps himself silly* Oh yeah and your in!
 
*takes out history*
Good, because I was confused. I just sorta went along with it though.
 
Ok, now that my guinea pig, Zephy, (jk!) has gotten all of the bugs out of the sign-ups, we are good!
 
Ok, I'll try and keep a spot, but you may be right, I just went with the number of types... damn, Normal!

EDIT: Well, double damn! How on Earth did I get twelve?!? Oh and thanks!
 
Name: Nathaniel Ryan Collins, Nate for short.
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Region: Sinnoh
Appearance: Nate has bright red hair. He usually keeps it tied in a ponytail. His eyes are a dark brown, that looks like the color of mud. He never went in the sun that much, so his skin is very pale. His parents were both tall, so as a result, he's tall. Nate has great upper body strength, because he climbed trees a lot in his youth. He looks big, but most of it is muscle. He only wears blue jeans, and hates to wear shorts. He wears zip-up sweaters, except, his are always zipped down, to show off his flame.
Marking: He has a dark red and orange flame across his chest.
Alliance: Order
Personality: Nate is very laid back. He couldn't care less about what happens, and takes things in stride. He constantly jokes around with people, even in the most serious of situations.
History: Nathaniel was born on July 18, 1990, to Matthew and Veronica Collins, a couple who lived in Eterna Forest to research Bug Pokemon. Nate grew up in the forest, never leaving it, not even for school. His father taught him about Pokemon, and his mother taught him to read and write.

When he was 12, he got his first Pokemon, a Cyndaquil. He trained the Cyndaquil, until there was an accident. One night, Cyndaquil was practicing using Flamethrower on targets near the Old Chateau, when an Ariados jumped down from a tree. Cyndaquil was so frightened that when it turned to flee, it accidentally set the Old Chateau on fire. Nobody was injured in the accident, but Nate was grounded for five months afterwards.

By the time Nate was 16, he was growing bored of his forest life. However, his parents wanted to stay in the forest. The findings of their research were not proven to be accurate. His mother slowly developed paranoia, and thought that the forest was the only safe place. His father, in fear of what Veronica might do in her mental state, simply agreed with whatever she said. On New Year's Eve, 2006, Nate ran away from home. He left the forest, and by the next day, had made it to Eterna City, where he started his new life.
Gift: He can control small fires, but cannot create fire. Whenever he uses his power, his body temperature rises, as if he was starting to become the fire. As a result, his usage of his power is severely limited.
Pokémon on Hand: 1) Cyndaquil. Nate was camping alone in a part of the forest that was generally unknown to most people. He was in his sleeping bag when a Cyndaquil came into his campsite. Nate pretended to be asleep, hoping that it would just go away. Instead, the Cyndaquil came closer to his campfire, pausing every few seconds to sniff the ground. Nate reached into his backpack for something his father gave him as a precaution: A Pokeball. Nate tossed it at the Cyndaquil, jumped out of his sleeping bag, and ran. He turned back to at the Pokeball, and saw that it had stopped moving.

2) Hippopotas. After he ran away from home, Nate had to make a living. He walked all the way from Eterna to Veilstone, going as south as Pastoria to avoid the taller peaks of Mt. Coronet. When he got to Veilstone, he wandered the streets, looking for a job. Eventually, a miner hired him for work, to dig a tunnel through a mountain. Nate worked for weeks with this miner, avoiding the wild Pokemon until one day, he was on lunch break, when a Hippopotas attacked him. Nate dove to the side, causing the Hippopotas to crash into the wall. The ceiling shook, and a few rocks fell from the ceiling. Knowing he didn't have much time, Nate called out his Cyndaquil to battle. In two Flamethrowers and a Flame Wheel, the Hippopotas was knocked out. Nate threw a Pokeball at it, and, to his relief, the Pokemon was caught.

3)Houndour. Nate had caught a Wurmple while he was taking a hike to Lake Valor. Nate knew what a normal Wurmple looked like, and this was not normal. Instead of being red, it was purple. That night in Veilstone Casino, Nate was bragging about it. A man dressed in a black suit came to him and offered to give him a Houndour for the Wurmple. Knowing that Houndour was stronger than any Wurmple, Nate accepted, and got his Houndour.
CO Application: I don't really think I could do this part, so only pick me if everyone else who applies fails.
 
Strange. I would've thought at least one more person between the last post and now would've signed up..

Age: 25
Appearance: 6' 1" He has pale skin, gray eyes, and brown hair. He is ordinary in appearance, someone who wouldn't stand out in a crowd.

Marking: A robotic arm that replaces his left arm.
Alliance: Knights
Personality: He is ruthless and will not tolerate anyone who stands in his way. He keeps his silence and prefers not to speak to anyone, although he will speak when necessary. He is a loner and is not a very good team player. He has no qualms about killing someone.
Pokémon on Hand:

Absol
A Pokemon he's had since a child. It's completely loyal to him.

Alright... phew... Done

Name: Jericho Frost
Gender: Male
Age: 25
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.
Marking: He has a series of seven black dots identical in arrangement to those on Regice's "face" spreading across his back and shoulder blades.

Ex:

RegiceDots2.png

Alliance: Knights
Personality: Jericho is the embodiment of the seven deadly sins, which he likes to say are each represented by the seven dots on his back. He's full of pride, envy and wrath. He's lustful, slothful, a glutton, particularly because he can eat all he wants and never gain a single unwanted pound, and greedy. But, most of all, he's very vain. He's selected his Pokémon solely because he thought them beautiful, and hardly ever regards strength. When judging a person, he only pays attention to their beauty, or lack thereof, and acts accordingly. Even when lives are at stake, this is all he takes into consideration.

Pokémon on Hand:

Species: Jynx
Gender: Female
Nickname: Shiver
History: Abandoned in the desert, Jericho found Shiver badly dehydrated and near death. He nursed it back to health and they've been inseparable since.

Species: Cradily
Gender: Female
Nickname: Lydia
History: Caught thousands of years ago as a Lileep, Lydia is Jericho's oldest and most experienced Pokémon. She is the one he first calls upon in a battle or otherwise.

Species: Electivire
Gender: Male
Nickname: Eli
History: Despite being evolved all the way back from an Elekid, Eli is Jericho's newest Pokémon, though they've formed a tight bond. Eli is rash though skilled in battle.

CO Application: Uh, I'm a mod on a soon to be kick-ass RPG forum XD And... I have quite a bit of experience, as I have a few RPGs of my own, but no sweat if you don't pick me ;D Or you could just choose me so I can beat Zephy XP
