Ask to Join Pokémon Survivor! Discussion/Sign ups thread

Hello y’all! Been a while since I could get some reliable free time but I wanna give making an rp a shot.
Premise: “Congratulations! Your application and audition for the first ever season of Pokémon Survivor has been accepted! You have been selected because we believe that your unique skills and traits will carry you to be the sole survivor and winner of one billion pokedollars! We can’t wait to see you over at Takona island this June!”
Pokémon Survivor is a reality show game based on the actual show Survivor in which competitors habit and island and compete in challenges while also avoiding elimination via voting against each other out of the game.
Setting: Takona island is a made up island located in between of Kanto’s and Alola. It’s a beautiful, large, and tropical island that is almost as large as poni island. It’s geography is comprised of beaches, tropical forests, rivers, lakes, small fields, swamps, and a hiking mountain range along its west side that contains hot springs and a couple caves. Basically almost every type of Pokémon can be found here. Near the south of the island in a small forest clearing is where the main camping grounds will be located. Challenges and courses will randomly be set up all around the island.
Plot: Your character willingly applies and auditions to be on this show for a reason: maybe a desperate need for the prize money, a chance of fame, or maybe just to meet people and have fun experiences. Regardless, everyone knows that they will be competing against each other and that there can only be one winner. They will all arrive to the island on a cruise ship and arrive for a small party on the beach where they can socialize and get to know each other before the host (moi) will go over the rules and divide the campers into teams. Your first post should go over your characters anticipation and interacting with others at the beach. There will be a challenge every day, either a reward or immunity challenge. Teams that win rewards can earn supplies, extra food, tools to help them catch Pokémon, etc. Teams that win immunity are safe from the elimination ceremony; the team that loses will head to a bonfire where they will all anonymously vote on who they want to be eliminated from the show. Once a character gets eliminated they become exiled from the camp and can no longer compete in challenges. However that’s not where their story ends, as they must continue to live by themselves on the island, and unbeknownst to the film crew, the island contains more secrets and treasures than meets the eye. Of course, judgements on which teams will win challenges will come to me, unless you guys can come to an agreement and make it obvious in your posts who succeeded or failed.
  • Standard poke charms rules apply
  • Please no Mary Sues
  • Most importantly, have fun!

Reason for competing: Winning, and proving nothing can stop her
Personal life/job/hobbies: Yuki was born in a wealthy family, her dad always taught her that, "second place, is first place for losers" It was pinned to her mind, that she must not lose, when she was young, her mom forced her to learn every musical instrument, thus becoming a "virtuoso" in music

Previously riskyie
Name: Jasmine Hall (friends call her Jazzy)
Gender: Female
Age(15-25): 20

Willow Tree

Previously Brightheart
Name: Willow Cynthia
Gender: Male
Age(15-25): 16
Appearance (all clothing will initially be shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes): A young boy with a slim figure that only held a little muscle. Black hair that is longer on the right contrasted nicely with his paler skin. He has purplish eyes that are topped with a dark blue tint so it's hard to tell between the two colors. Clothes may vary but he is seen mostly wearing a hoodie.
Personality: Described as a charming sophisticated prince. He is well known for his calm behavior and tendency to help everybody in need. Due to such a soft personality, he is incapable of defending himself when it comes to bullying and arguments and is usually very against any dangerous act or adventure. Normally nervous when it comes to public speaking but seems to have no problem talking individually to random people. He's pretty smart and usually think things through during difficult situation but is still somehow nonetheless rather naive and gullible. If you were to lie to him, there's a 70% chance he'll believe you. He claims it's because he doesn't believe that people would have any reasons to lie to him. Rather patient, there's little to no way to anger him since he's usually very chill towards anything you'll throw at him.
Reason for competing: Though he doesn't like any dangerous act, he was urged to join this by his cousin who believed this is a good chance to finally get him to do something other than playing with his little garden, and he couldn't exactly say no to her cause he does owe her some favors.
Personal life/job/hobbies: He is currently working in a flower shop with his parents and cousin.
Favorite Pokémon: Literally any grass type pokemon but if he really needed to choose, it'll be whether a carnivine or a cottonee.

(Here, hope this is okay. ^^¡)

She knows many fun facts and survival tips, which may come in handy. Bianca loves meeting new people and Pokemon, plus she's also good at getting Pokemon to trust her. She really challenges the whole "blondes are dumb" stereotype.

This actually sounds pretty interesting, and I have the perfect character for it!

726897_trainercard-Georgie.png
Name: Georgie Bernard

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Appearance:
Georgie has long, wavy black hair and ocean blue eyes featuring a pair of dark red, thin rimmed glasses. She's fair skinned with a thin but full frame, and stands at an unimpressive 5'5". Tiny but mighty! She normally wears a red and black horizontally striped t-shirt with a black hooded vest over it, ripped black skinny jeans and white and red converse high tops. (Left is red, right is white. Hey that rhymes!) She also likes to paint her nails in a back and red pattern to match.

Personality:
She is very energetic, getting excited over silly things. This often makes her very rash when it comes to decision making, never really stopping to think things through before barreling into something. She has little to no patience, and at times can be rather short tempered and even a little rude sometimes. Despite her disposition and stubborn attitude, she gets along fairly well with most people and can be quite friendly. Once she considers someone a good friend and learns to trust them, she's very loyal and protective of them, even if it's hard for her to verbally express such affections. She has the confidence of a leader, but tends to be a little too hard on herself if things don't go right. She can be a little angsty in these situations, but after going off on her own to blow off some steam she's back to her old self like nothing ever happened. She's gotten very good at rolling with the punches.

Reason for competing:
Georgie is a thrill seeker and risk taker, always ready to take on a new challenge. Once she hears of any type of compitition, she's there. She loves to win! She's also keen on getting her hands on some money to keep her father's Ghost type Gym in business. Now that he's passed away, her older sister Ami wants to take over the family business, but they're falling on hard times. Ami can only do so much, and Georgie tries to help the best she can. Winning Pokemon Survivor would be a great way to get the money and bring some attention back to the business.

Personal life/job/hobbies:
Georgie is a Fire type specialist and an avid Pokemon trainer and Gym competitor in her home region Kanto. But there's only so much to do there, so she took on some traveling to see the sights and find her calling in life. She loves to explore new places and try new things, meet new people and maybe get a good pokemon battle in when she can.

Favorite Pokémon: (as well as her pokemon team, although I don't know if we'll be using them for this rp?)

Accepted! And unfortunately, competitors can't use their own pokemon in the challenge, however some rewards or challenges could involve trainers temporarily seeing their own pokemon. In this RP trainers are able to catch their own pokemon whether a challenge is going on or not. Some challenges may even be to catch certain pokemon. However, pokeballs and resources for catching are limited and competitors won't be able to use any of their own items for it, so they'll need to try and manage the pokeballs given to them or try befriending/gaining their trust.
I'm planning for every competitor to start out with at least three personal pokeballs. More will be given to them later.

I'm also curious about this. Here goes:

Name: Quentin Cecilia Borough
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Appearance: He has white-greyish hair due to his birthmark. He has brown eyes, contrasting his pale hair. He wears a dark blue jacket, with black lines in a shape of a vest on it. Underneath, a pale white short sleeved shirt. He wears black sweatpants with white lines near the side and his signature black socks and brown sandals. He also wears a backpack with a buckle near his chest. The backpack his camouflage, perfect for camping or hunting. His Drifloon is usually sighted close to him.
Personality: Quiet and distant. He like observing how people interact with each other, but is also determined to stay on the island to the finale. He can get competitive while battling with his Pokemon. And I mean E X T R E M E L Y competitive. Too much for the average person. Most of the time, he stays in the background so people don't vote him off or he always helps out the team.
Reason for Competing: To observe how reality TV show characters work. Also, to crush everyone into oblivion while he laughs in the background maniacally.
Personal life/job/hobbies: He goes to a High School in Hearthome City, and he loves to camp and battle.
Favorite Pokémon: His Drifloon, of course.
