• Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Ask to Join 'The Kalos Chronicles!' Discussion thread

Hey! Professor Sycamore is looking for fresh young faces to help with his research!

So, the Kalos Chronicles are exactly what they sound; an adventure around the Kalos region filled with fun, friendships and lots of excitement. Basically, we'll be running through the story of the games, although with a few more surprising events along the way. I'd been thinking about doing this for a while now, but Irl I'd always been pretty busy. However, my schedule has freed up recently meaning I'm going to be able to run this fun RP.

We'd be starting in Vaniville town, going through the region as trainers, performers or whatever class you affiliate with while battling the gyms, other performers or your own personal demons (Spoopy!). Below is a character template that I'd like you to complete if you'd be interested in taking part; get accepted, and as soon as that happens you're free to start roleplaying. There's also a link to the original thread down below.

How did they meet the trainer: (A brief backstory between the trainer and the pokemon)

Name: Lucien Bernard
Height & Weight: 5'8, 118lbs
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Hometown & Region: Lumiose City, Kalos
Trainer Class: Performer

Appearance:
Lucien doesn't stand very tall, nor is he very muscly, so isn't very imposing in the slightest; he's someone who is generally smaller than most, meaning that in crowds he's not seen all too much. Still, thats part of the reason why he wears the clothes he does. When not performing, Lucien still likes to try and be seen, and so wears things that do that; he can often be seen wearing colourful button-up shirts of various colours, and depending on the weather he'll wear shorts or pants. He likes to wear hiking boots too, mostly because it helps him walk on all of the varied road surfaces Kalos has to offer. When performing, Lucien doesn't really go all-out and wears a simple pressed suit that has a tailcoat on the top to make him look even more suave. He may sometimes bring different accessories like flowers or jewellery with him on-stage, but doesn't usually deviate from the suit he has.

Personality:
Generally, Lucien is pretty stuck-up, although this is as a result of the lavish lifestyle he's had. He's not one to look down on others openly, but does think he's got a bit more money than the usual explorer he meets out on the road. If you can look past this part of his personality though, its clear that Lucien cares a lot for people and pokemon. If someone that he is close to is in-need, he'll try and help however he can, whether that's by buying them something or giving them a show to try and help fix their broken spirit. On-stage, Lucien has a big presence; he really likes to show off, maybe because he has to in order to win, and will go as far as he can to make sure he's noticed. This is perhaps something that affects him off-stage too, since he enjoys being the centre of attention.

Backstory:
Lucien was born and raised in Lumiose city - the largest city in Kalos. Thanks to the amazing life his mother led as a renown pokemon performer, he grew up with quite a lot of money and help, always having what he wanted when he wanted it. Well, that is, apart from a pokemon. As a kid, Lucien's parents believed he was never ready to have a parter of his own and as a result they had never let him catch anything, even in his late teens. They wanted to know he would treat it right and make sure he would know how to develop great routines for contests, and they had never thought he would be able to do that from ages 1-17. By the time he was 16, he became frustrated with not being able to own a pokemon, and decided he'd had enough. He campaigned for two years for his own pokemon, and it was only on his 18th birthday that he was given something of his own. A...Chingling.

However, with his new pokemon came something else...freedom. Lucien's parents had decided that he go away on his own adventure, taking part in his own contests with his own pokemon. He agreed pretty quickly, considering Pokemon School had finished for him, and only a week after his birthday he was dropped off in Vaniville town to start his journey just like every other trainer. There was a lifetime of adventure ahead of him, as well as a few surprises along the way, and now all he had to do was get started, but that was easier said than done...

How did they meet the trainer: Belle was given to Lucien for his 18th birthday.
 
Name: Cece Labelle
Height & Weight: 5'8, 114 lbs.
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Hometown & Region: Opelucid City, Unova
Trainer Class: Novice Trainer

Appearance: Cece has shoulder-length jet black hair, paired with vibrant emerald green eyes. Her skin is rather tanned, with freckles decorating her nose and cheeks. She's constantly wearing a gold necklace with a 'C' pendant, a parting gift from her father. She either wears black ripped jeans, or black tights, with a black tanktop and a jean jacket. Silver sneakers finish her outfit.

Personality: Cece is primarily kindhearted, towards Pokémon and people. She can come across as shy, but once you befriend her, she becomes talkative and sociable. She doesn't consider the best trainer, but knows she has what it takes to become one. She's strategic, using her Pokémon to their full potential to win battles.

Backstory: Cece was born and raised in Opelucid City in the Unova region, along with her father Hugo. Her mother left them when Cece was just five years old, to persue her dreams elsewhere. Hugo, a veteran trainer, started teaching her how to battle at a young age. Each week, he took her to see Draiden defend his Gym against challengers. Watching Draiden's Haxorus send many trainers packing never ceased to amaze her. By the time Cece turned sixteen, she caught her first own Pokémon; her partner Ace, the Rufflet. She set out to collect all Gym badges in the region, battling and catching many Pokémon along the way. She nearly achieved her goal, before failing to get past the final hurdle; Draiden himself.

In order to become a better trainer and challenging Draiden again, she decided to journey through the Kalos region. Cece packed her bags and set out to Mistralton Airport, curious what the Kalos region will have in store for her.

Pokémon:
Species: Rufflet
Nickname: Ace
Gender: Male
Level: 5
Ability: Sheer Force
Moves: Peck, Leer
 
Name: Victoria Melis
Height & Weight: 5'5, 107 lbs
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Hometown & Region: Lumiose City, Kalos
Trainer Class: Beginning Trainer

Appearance: Victoria has somewhat light skin, light brown eyes, and short light blonde hair (the bob hairstyle from the XY games with bangs). She wears a white short-sleeved shirt with a faded floral pattern, grey skirt, black high-knee stockings, black flats, and a black fedora with a white band. She also has an expensive small black backpack.

Personality: Due to being raised in a rich family, Victoria can be a bit spoiled like any other stereotypical rich person. She is not one to admit or express her feelings so easily, even if it is with her friends, but down the line she will try to be a bit more open with herself. She also can get overconfident and tends to beat herself up whenever it leads her to failure.

Backstory: Victoria comes from a very wealthy family in Lumiose City, and her parents expect her to be like them and do stuff that they would do. After she confronted her parents about wanting to go on a journey, they were not willing to let her go on one as it is unfitting for a girl of her status. After being forbidden to go on a journey, Victoria ran away from home without anyone knowing. She got her Froakie from Professor Sycamore and immediately left Lumiose City before her parents could notice she was gone.

Pokémon:
Species: Froakie
Nickname: None
Gender: Female
Level: 5
Ability: Torrent
Moveset: Tackle, Growl, Bubble
 
Name: Matthew Terrell
Height & Weight: 5'7", 124lbs
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Hometown & Region: Olivine City, Johto
Trainer Class: Tech Maniac

Appearance: Matthew has short, layered black hair, with a single cowlick. His eyes are a pale blue, with plain wireframe glasses over them. He typically wears a cerulean tourist hoodie with a graphic of a lighthouse on the back, faded blue jeans, and bright yellow sneakers. Physique-wise, he has pale skin and a decent bit of muscle to him. He carries with him a large gray camping backpack.

Personality: Matthew is at best quiet and at worst standoffish around strangers. This is mostly due to his reasons for being on this journey, as his parents "cajoled" him into it. He's fully capable of teamwork when he bothers, but it can be difficult to convince him of anything he doesn't already want... hence his bitterness towards his family. One of the few things he's deeply interested in is machinery-- give him a robotics magazine and he'll happily spend hours reading. His stubborn shell is surprisingly easy to crack with the right words (and tech repair manuals) once he knows someone, but it may take some patience for him to truly get used to Kalos.

Backstory: Matthew grew up on the shores of Olivine with his parents, a dockworker and a waitress. From a young age he was expected to follow in his father's footsteps-- toiling on ships-- but chance led him to apprentice at the Shining Lighthouse instead. He gained a few years of experience in amateur welding and repairing heavy machinery, and most importantly, an interest in technology. An interest that his parents did not especially approve of; they considered it all well and good that he was learning to work, but his dismissive attitude about their visions for his career did not click with them in the slightest. A series of fights later, and they sent him off to his distant family in Kalos, who they believed would instill better morals in him. Matthew agreed to this under the guise of going on a "Pokemon journey" with the Elekid he got from the Lighthouse, but has no intention of doing anything more than grabbing a few badges to appease them and returning home.

Got room for one more? Here's my bio, let me know if there's anything I need to change! ^^
 
Great! Also, would it be alright if Victoria had two more Pokémon outside of her own? Like a Furfrou living with her parents, and Bulbasuar living with her grandparents in Camphrier Town.
 
Yeah, that's cool with me. It'd be a fun little event for her to go meet her family and bring her other pokemon with her once we get to those towns
 
I Posted!

I think for this little bit we should jsut have our characters meet and decide to travel together for those that want to; I've got a small event planned in Aquacorde town for them to get to know each other too, which should be pretty fun :p
 
Sounds great! :) Just for reference, how do you want to do battles/gym challenges? I'm comfortable with both RP and pokesho, but I don't currently have plans for Matthew to catch any pokemon until, like, Route 7. Elekid would be enough for Santalune (with some training and plenty of status healers ">.>), but if him not catching stuff conflicts with anything please let me know and I'll be happy to have him pick up something!
 
Gyms/Battles/Contests would be done in RP, since I think that'd be a bit more fun - I don't mind Matthew not catching anything either, that's fine by me. Kalos has a massive beginning with not a lot of gyms so it's understandable he wouldn't catch anything for a while yet
 
Yeah, but if you're going to do that please make a sheet for them and make sure their team is themed with their type like in the games (ie all fairy type Pokemon, all grass types etc)

Name: Elijah Brunik
Height & Weight: 6'1, 160 pounds
Gender: Male
Age: 15
Hometown & Region: Cyllage City, Kalos region
Trainer Class: Rock type Specialized Trainer

Appearance: Eli had always been big for his age, but it was around 13 that the kid really sprouted. Despite his youthful face and attitude, Elijah practically has the body of a full grown man. He's rather tall to begin with, but hard work has been put to good use in filling that frame out. He's not super defined or anything, but buff enough that it's noticeable. He also has huge hands, a weird note that would go unnoticed by most- but once you spot it; there's no unseeing it. Elijah's build is plastered by evenly tanned skin, a creamy golden color with the occasional freckle to liven the mono-tone pallet. Eli has a square face with sharp but wide features; his eyes are slight and small in size- but vibrant, shining in a bright rosy pink color that sparkles against his dark skin. Elijah is equipped with jet black hair, rich in thickness but rather hard to keep neat; it's slightly shorter on the sides than the top- were a mass of straight hair sort of splays out in anyway it wants.

Personality: Eli... never really learned how to socialized- not that he's awkward, but he tends to be a bit intrusive. Since a young age, Elijah didn't really fit in- he was always just interested in other things than the school kids- that mostly pertained to the city's gym. Eli has a big personality, which can sometimes be hard to contain. He's rather loud; and though his positivity isn't the worst thing in the world, his childish ways of displaying said optimism can get rather annoying. Elijah is a rather impressionable young soul, easily impressed and never holding his tongue as far as compliments- though he is just as clear in his proclamations of his own success and victory. Eli never quite grasped the concept of personal-space, and his ability to be comfortable in any situation is honestly rather impressive. The young man is also incredibly tenacious, not one to role over or give up after a loss. The only thing that ever seems to be able to break Elijah's spirit is other people giving up. In fact, he gets rather upset and even angry when he watches someone- who worked so hard- just throw their goals away. Overall Elijah comes off as spirited and loud, but a good kid- he always has the best intentions.

Backstory: Elijah's history is pretty much boring. Nothing he's proud of, at least. Elijah grew up in the small town of Cyllage City. He wasn't exactly the most wealthy kid in the town; but he had enough to eat dinner every night and buy new clothes. Eli lives right near the Cyllage City gym, where he spent a good amount of time watching battles. He grew to really admire Grant, though he never even met the guy. It took some time to scale all of the walls, then he would just hide and stalk the gym floor for hours at a time. Eli abandoned all games of 'pass' and all titles of 'tag champion' to work on his dream of becoming a pokemon trainer and one day a gym leader just like Grant. When Eli's 15th birthday came around, his parents were finally willing to let him leave and start his adventure- of course, the male was more than ready.

Pokemon:

Species: Dwebble
Gender: Male
Level: 5

How did they meet the trainer: Elijah befriended Dwebble when the pair coincidentally caught each other stalking Grant, the Cyllage City gym leader. Realizing how intent Dwebble was on becoming stronger, Eli promised the small rock type that he would be able to help him.

@PKMN Trainer Crimson Accepted!

@Shadow_Pup You too!

@Barefoot_Kittens Likewise!

@Crystal1302 I'd like a little more about Namine's backstory and personality to flesh her out a little, but the rest of your app is ok.

@__Lune Your app is fine, but be aware that since Nyx is so high gym battles will be scaled up so that they're roughly on the same level as her. Battles with other trainers won't be though, but like in the anime sometimes even smaller pokemon can beat those higher level than them so you should just be aware of that. Change her level if you want, but even if you choose not to you're accepted!

I'm going to be writing a reply shortly guys, bringing things together for us as we all head out towards Route 1 and Aquacorde town. Like I said earlier, I have something planned over in Aquacorde town that I'll get started once the majority of us are there.

I think I'll scale her down then if that's fine
 
@Crystal1302 Yup!

For the rest of you, something came up tonight and I'm not going to be able to post until I tomorrow so just get aquainted and I'll write something as soon as I'm finished with work tomorrow
 
Okay... so I'm just making sure. We're traveling in separate groups, right? Because all of us together would be a rather large sector of people. Eli, Crimson, Namine, and Cane make up a group of 4. Lucien and Matthew have a group of 2. Victoria, Lune, and Cece have yet to join a group. If we made 2 groups of 4-5 each, we could make them rival groups that compete with each other. Even if we split into 3 smaller groups of 3 each, to make groups more personal and bonded. We could still have them contesting against each other. Any way, maybe we should discuss it here and make it neat and clear.
Sorry, I'm a little obsessive when it comes to this stuff. I just like it to be in one place because I'm forgetful XD.
