Who/what should be the antagonist?

Madison is waiting on @Zixal. Brandon and Anthony are waiting on @Yusa, sorta, cuz they asked everyone there, including Kiro. That means they’re also waiting on @limebird444. Also, Ray hasnt moved. And then Sterling hasnt moved since Lisa died.

@Red Gallade i am slowing the RP down a bit. They will just be exploring for the next few pages. It will be easy to keep up with.
 
Just say Sterling froze up and didnt react due to fear and went into shock after Lisa died or something. Maybe he can run further down the tunnel and meet up with Collax and Madison?
 
@Mystic Zander you could join. Here is the basic plot so far.

  • We arrived on the island. Brandon went off alone, Lisa, Sterling, and Collax went together, Madison and Ray went together, Sarah went off alone, Kiri went off alone, and Kira went off alone.
  • Madison and Ray had a battle with no clear winner, and Ray ended up catching a Corphish.
  • Lisa, Sterling, and Collax were attacked by Combee and Brandon intervened.
  • Sterling caught a Buneary and Collax found a Skorupi.
  • Madison caught a Sandile that tried to steal her sunhat.
  • Kiri caught a Treecko.
  • Brandon eavesdropped on the villains and knocked out Jax.
  • Lisa discovered a lava tunnel.
  • Jax is revealed to own a Weavile.
  • Brandon caught a Blitzle.
  • Jax woke up and attempted to attack Sarah until Brandon distracted him.
  • Brandon and Madison battled Jax.
  • Jax is revealed to own a Nidoking, Jolteon, and Alakazam.
  • Madison caused Nidoking to fall into the lava tunnel and Collax confused the Nidoking with Barkley’s Confuse Ray.
  • In its confusion, Nidoking killed Lisa and apparently knocked out Sterling.
  • A trainer named Anthony showed up and he is revealed to own an Exeggutor.
  • Anthony is revealed to own a Flareon.
  • Jax retreated on the back of a Hydreigon.
  • Collax found Lisa’s Inkay, and Madison ran through the lava tunnel and straight into Collax.
  • Sterling is left stranded in the lava tunnel (currently).
  • Brandon and Anthony went off to try and make a shelter.
  • Anthony revealed to Brandon that more people were coming to help in a few days.
That’s pretty much everything so far.

Zander?! You're joining? Couple days ago I was like where ya been dude, now you're everywhere :D

I feel like we're at a critical moment in this RP where some people want out but just as many want in
Also @Yusa 's 2nd char is not Kiro but Kiri which is what you meant 55
 
Ray couldn’t decline if her best friend Madison was going with them and she was thinking Brandon was a nice, cute guy she could hangout with “sure! I’ll hangout with you guys for the time being” she said as she started walking towards the group.
XD her best friend Madison actually isn't going with them, she's down in the underground cave with Collax :blush:
While Brandon and Anthony are still in the jungle, on the surface
So you ended up ditching poor Madison (in a ditch, no pun intended) but that's cool because...……………..

You called Brandon a nice, cute guy :\=|:
Now he doesn't show that much emotion but maybe if you win him over...
 
Idk if that was @Red Gallade 's last post on the RP, but if he's planning to post again and confirm his char dead I just wanna let my guy know that it doesn't have to be like that...
I think I'm having a hard time following as well.
At this point, idk if I should write off my char and leave the RP. As much as I was into it, there's just been so much happening in so little posts so Sterling doesn't have too much time to properly react, let alone I'm asleep through half of the posts that have been done.
Well, i was planning on Anthony driving Jax away before things returned to normal again. The real decision wont appear until at least page 10.
Jax, Chance, and Griffin will start rounding up the adventurers when i think it is time for the tables to turn. For now, the explorers will just do what they came to do, explore.
Honestly guys, I feel like I might as well write of Sterling and leave the RP; there's far too much going on in one post for me to keep track of. If anyone wants to, they can take my Pokémon as their own.
@Red Gallade i am slowing the RP down a bit. They will just be exploring for the next few pages. It will be easy to keep up with.
@StormingCobra55 I'm still likely writing off Sterling, how should I go about it; Should I still use Nidoking?
You're insistent on writing Sterling off even though Storming has promised several times to slow it down, but are you sure this is the only way? Killing him off? That's what it looks like from your most recent post, unless he's just unconscious. But no need to confirm his death, because...

He can always fade away right here and make a comeback later on, when the RP slows down and things are easier to keep track of. Whatever you missed won't be relevant to your character, so if you ever want to, jumping back in will be easy. By fade away, I mean just leave it ambiguous here as to where he is, what and how he's doing. Unless there's another reason you want out like you lost interest, I don't see why you can't just a take a break. Or if you're gone for good, take a break indefinitely (that means leaving without dealing the finishing blow to Sterling, so his status in the RP is presumed dead rather than confirmed dead)
 
If all of you don't mind a little worldbuilding, I put an abandoned hospital on Lasryn. I was actually planning to do so from the start.

I also enjoy this point in the RP, Collax and Madison sort of but not completely warming up to each other.
 
It's gonna be a long process, I tell you what. Yet I still find myself accidentally shipping them.

On the topic of the abandoned hospital, I'm beginning to put together pieces of a puzzle here. Lava tubes running underneath a thick jungle can only really mean there was some volcanic disaster that probably had something to do with the current state of the medical building, the sudden desert so close to the jungle, and the fact that such a thick jungle exists in the first place. And with the presence of this "Team Void" lookin' ass, I think I know where that volcanic disaster came from.
 
As it should be, otherwise it's fake.

I think what you came up with just now better explains why the hospital is abandoned and ties everything together.

This post was so hard to write because of massive RP burnout rn… college starts back up on the 26th too so I won't be able to post as often.

Please don't timeskip to morning yet.

Personality: Zander is hard to get along with unless you have a certain...certain type of personality. He's rather sarcastic and has a habit of voicing his opinion wether its wanted or not.

Other: Zander takes this trip very seriously, seeing it as his training before actual gym challenges.

Ah yeah I read the rules a few days ago and couldn't remember if in was making that up. At its full strength? Why do you say that? Are characters not forced to limit how strong there Mon currently is?
 
Well, it just seems like it would be kinda unbalanced in battle. I mean, a Zangoose is much stronger than a Basic Pokémon like Squirtle, Axew, Chimchar, Inkay, or Gible. It would just make more sense to start out with the lowest evolutionary level of a Pokémon that gets stronger when it evolves.
 
Okay, I can understand that. I just assumed we were all specifically supposed to start with weak Pokémon. I always think of rps a bit more like the anime than the game, lemme think of a new starter choice. :)
 
If no one's posted in 4 days because my last post makes it impossible to continue, I disagree. Madison woke up in the middle of the night, but that doesn't mean everyone else's characters have to jump to the middle of the night. Brandon and Ray were still planning on cooking something, so they could continue that timeline, and Madison's post will be assumed to have happened after that.

Then we can skip to morning, if everyone's ok with that.
