The girl sighed, placing her head in her hands while her elbows were rested on the desk. A small dragon-type Pokemon nudged her as it sat in her lap. “It seems like there isn’t a solution, Kiju. It makes me worry...” she said to it.

Well, I’m sure you’re curious. Allow me to explain. Around 83 years ago, the atmosphere of the planet (Earth? Who knows what it is) became unstable. Life couldn’t be supported and everyone was forced underground. At first the cities were grand, but then time passed and they started to deteriorate. Homes became more rugged looking and violence was an acceptable way of life.

A few, with the help of Pokemon, ventured up on the surface to collect supplies. They were trained to survive up there with their partners and were later named the Sunlighters, for they were the only few to ever touch the light. It isn’t simply a no risk job. Sometimes they don’t make it back, only their Pokemon.

Others are the scientists. They attempt to find a way to restore their home on the surface. Recently, their research had been on a pause. They had hit a roadblock that they have now spent years on trying to get around. The only hope for now is to hope the atmosphere fixes itself.

Everyone else has jobs to support the community. They’re unlimited, and many have jobs none have heard of before. Engineers, doctors, thieves, anything is possible. The only limit is skill and lack of sunlight.

Welcome to the Tunnels, we hope you enjoy your stay here.


EXTRA!
Tunnels takes place in a small town called Firefly. This is where your character will either live or be visiting. The town will grow with your own imaginations and is created with our own team effort. Later, I’ll add a section for all the details of Firefly. In fact, you could even get started with it in your bios.

The jobs are a wip. If you have a cool idea for one, don't be afraid to tell me! I'd love for this to be a community involved rp, beyond just replies and such.

Town Layout
  • There's a little place off to the side which looks like a little village, this is where the scientists mainly work and live. It is still close enough to Firefly's boundaries to be considered a part of it.
  • On your way to the science village, there's a path leading to the surface that Sunlighters use. It's normally closed and only open for Sunlighters.
  • There's a hidden laboratory located in the science village. Previously abandoned, it is now inhabited by a girl and her four Pokemon.
  • Over on the eastern side of Firefly, it's littered with broken equipment, damaged houses (more than usual), and faulty wiring. With a lack of engineers in that part of town, it can be a gold mine to those who go there.

  • Romance is allowed, keep it PG13
  • Limit of 3 characters per person, not counting a Pokemon team

  • Fakemon are allowed with approval
  • Jobs have to be approved by me

Bezai
Age: 25
Gender: Female

Name: Kiju
Age: Roughly 16

Species: Gible
Appearance: Kiju has a slightly icy exterior. Bezai found out it was because Kiju was part Avalugg that he inherited the trait. His blue stripes are slightly more lighter colored and his red belly slightly darker.
Personality: Kiju is rather calm. He often keeps Bezai on track and is more efficient than the human in all reality. He worries about her and acts like a parent sometimes, which can be quite humorous.

Name: Jupiter
Age: Roughly 19
Gender: Not specified (though Jupiter is male)
Job: Helps to power Bezai's equipment

Personality: Jupiter has anxiety, something that prohibits it from doing a lot of things. It's very cautious and will never take risks for a reward. Most joke that the only reason it has been alive for this long is because it's forced to do things.
History: TBA
Move Set: Cotton Spore, Iron Tail, Thunder Shock, Charge, Heal Bell, Substitute

Gender: Male
Job: Protects Marko on the surface
Species: Pikachu
Appearance: An average Pikachu usually covered with mud. His fur is stained a slight brown-yellow color due to dry mud.

I was going to make Hilda back in this but it wouldn't really make sense. I hope you like it~
 
Alright, the Fakemon Connoisseur has arrived!

Name: Her name is Serah Avalon.
Age: She is 14 Years old.
Gender: Female
Job: She is a doctor.
Job Info: Call them the medic, healer, savior, angel, or whatever you want. They're the ones that will keep you in the fight when you should be on the ground long before. Doctors specialize in the field of healing and medicine, having the ability to utilize medicinal items more effectively and treating all sorts of shapes and sizes with ease.
Appearance: Serah stands at a short height of 4'11", as she has a skinny build and light muscle mass. She has long, blond hair that is curled in a ponytail, while her eyes are sky blue. The surrounding area near her pupil is a bit grayish. She also has a small patch of freckles on her cheeks and modest nose. She wears a pale white camp shirt and a pale blue, short-sleeved skort. The camp shirt has a picture of a lightly pink heart that has some vague pictures of a familiar Pokémon and human about to hold hands. Along with that, she wears a gray soft shell jacket that has several outer pockets that can be effortlessly converted into a sling to carry around small Pokémon. She has on black, knee boots with socks that are as white as cloud nine and wears a dark brown satchel around her left shoulder that holds her items she carries around; such as everyday supplies and has a Poké Browser that was upgraded to allow it to scan more Pokémon than ever and reveal more detailed information with each scan.
Personality: Serah has a gentle outlook towards others, as she is rather compassionate towards the young. Her optimistic nature leads her to persuade others to get them to see other stories instead of looking at everything in black and white. She can be rather overprotective of her Pokémon since she often spoils him with a flood of love and indulgence.
History: [To be revealed in the RP if this subject is talked upon.]
Pokémon Team: She has a Signita, Vertio and Savinado. (Information on the Pokémon are below.)

Name: His name is Tyler Frost.
Species: Signita / Cross Seal Pokémon
Native Region: His native region is Etepeal.
Type: [type]Water[/type] [type]Ice[/type]
Job: He is a practitioner.
Job Info: Being the true masters of medicine, practitioners are considered to be the guardian angels of the team. Practitioners have expert knowledge of healing, support and targeting weak spots in the field of combat. They are also able to synthesize better kinds of medicine more easily through improvisaional means if supply becomes an issue.
Age: His age is currently unknown, though he does look a lot like a neonate in spite of his memories and smarts he still retained in the past.
Gender: Male
Appearance: Signita is a pinniped, slightly canine-like Pokémon that is primarily pale blue. His head is slightly big in proportion to his body, as he has light blue eyes and a small snout with a tiny nose capable of tracking various scents from a good distance. Two small teeth can be seen when he opens his mouth, as they are in the upper row of his mouth on opposite sides. His arms each have three small fingers that seem to lack any sort of claws. His underside and tail are that of a dark shading of cadet gray, as his flipper-like tail has a black striped pattern around it.
Clothing: Tyler wears a specially made lab coat made by Serah's mother that is tailored for his body and needs. There are some pockets on the inside and outside areas that hold some medicinal items as well as his foldable clipboard and his special black, thick pen made for his small hands; which has a multitude of functions. He also wears a cloud white garment that is snugly fastened around his bottom and lower back area since he does not like his bottom to be exposed to cold air. (Though it comes at the cost of having others likely have a good laugh at him however because of this.)
Personality: Tyler seems to be an outcast when faced with social encounters, as he rarely speaks due to his voice that others describe as silly and babyish. He tends to hide behind his friends, trainer or any object in sight when forced to answer a question deemed too personal. His fish out of water nature makes it significantly harder to hang around other Pokémon, since he is not as understandable as a typical Pokémon would be under normal circumstances. Although he retains some of his former traits, his emotional side often gets the better of him when it comes to bottling up his rage and tears from significant emotional stress and/or trauma. Due to his memory loss however, he does have some trouble doing some basic for understandably advanced tasks for his infantile body.
Ability: Torrent (Increases the potency of the Pokémon's water-based moves by 50% if they are in a pinch.)
Primary Moves: Pound Rush, Examination, Water Snipe, Icicle Shooter
Other Info: He does not know the term somanyeggs.

Alright, got it. Also, by 3:00, what time zone is that in? (As a bit of info from me, the time for me that this message was posted at is 11:22 AM.)
 
Well alright, so I suppose I might need to start cooking up my first post here. (I’ll likely have the design of my trainer’s living area be like some sort of an underground area or perhaps an abandoned laboratory that has been converted into a place for my trainer and her Pokémon to live in.)
 
Name: Rai
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Job: Engineer. Her specialty is machines and engines; essentially, she likes to mess with anything that has moving parts. She's been known to fix things around town, though, such as oil/electrical lamps, fences, storage containers, etc.
Appearance: She's fairly short, standing at a height of about 5'3, with a muscular build. Her dirty blond hair is cut short into a pixie to keep it from getting in her way, and her eyes are a deep, warm brown. She wears cargo pants made from canvas that are (probably) a khaki color, but are marred from layers of dirt and grease. She wears a black tank top, as well as a pair of black welding goggles around her neck.
Personality: She gets attached to people easily, and usually doesn't use formalities when interacting with others. She's friendly and extroverted, but can be headstrong without tact, which might strike some as rude. She also wouldn't strike anyone as particularly brainy, but she is excellent with mathematics.
History: Much to her mother's dismay, she's always been quite the 'tomboy.' She was wild as a child, and growing up in an increasingly violent town like Firefly didn't help much with her personality. Her father, on the other hand, didn't mind her personality though, and brought her along on his engineering jobs to burn energy and give her something to do, even giving her her first Pokémon, a Litleo descended from his own female Pyroar. As a result, she became fascinated with machines and the ruins of old buildings from when Firefly was a much nicer place. Her mother, a Sunlighter, died while topside when she was six and her father, riddled with mourning and depression, followed two years later. Her personality became much less abrasive afterwards, and more 'klingy' for lack of a better word, towards those she grew close to.
Pokemon Team: Litleo, Mudsdale

Name:
Cairo
Age: Adolescent
Gender: Male
Job: He's Rai's best friend, and gives Rai a flame if she needs to weld for a project or simply needs a light in the dim tunnels.
Species (If Pokemon): Litleo
Appearance: A normal Litleo, if a little on the small end of the size scale. He wears a canvas collar with metal tags that make noise when he moves, so that it's easier for Rai to find him when he gets lost.
Personality: He's extremely curious and likes to investigate new things and areas, but this coupled with his poor sense of direction gets him into trouble pretty often. He takes after Rai in that he's friendly, but is easier to intimidate than his partner.
History (Optional): He's the only offspring of Rai's father's partner, a female Pyroar. Once he was hatched, he was given to an eight-year-old Rai and they grew up together, becoming inseparable.
Move Set (If Pokemon): Ember, Headbutt, Noble Roar, Echoed Voice, Flamethrower.

Name:
Duke
Age: Adult
Gender: Male
Job: He helps carry any supplies or materials too heavy for Rai herself or simply gives her a ride through the tunnels.
Species (If Pokemon): Mudsdale
Appearance: A normal Mudsdale with a bridle, saddle, and saddlebags on each side. These saddlebags contain tools, supplies (such as food) and a harness system in case Rai needs to transport something larger.
Personality: He's generally lax and not adventurous, so he doesn't get into much trouble on his own. When getting a ride from him, good luck going anywhere particularly fast unless he feels like it, though. In other words, he can pretty stubborn, but giving him food or affection gets Rai in his good graces. Once an emotional bond formed, he became more affectionate. It's still a pain to get work out of him, though.
History: As an adolescent Mudbray, Rai found him wandering the deeper tunnels alone. He wasn't in any particular trouble, really, but began to follow Rai after she fed him a bit.
Move Set: Bulldoze, Mudslap, Double Kick, Stomp, Rototiller

Well alright, so I suppose I might need to start cooking up my first post here. (I’ll likely have the design of my trainer’s living area be like some sort of an underground area or perhaps an abandoned laboratory that has been converted into a place for my trainer and her Pokémon to live in.)
Sounds like a great idea, Kibago!

Name: Rai
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Job: Engineer. Her specialty is machines and engines; essentially, she likes to mess with anything that has moving parts. She's been known to fix things around town, though, such as oil/electrical lamps, fences, storage containers, etc.
Appearance: She's fairly short, standing at a height of about 5'3, with a muscular build. Her dirty blond hair is cut short into a pixie to keep it from getting in her way, and her eyes are a deep, warm brown. She wears cargo pants made from canvas that are (probably) a khaki color, but are marred from layers of dirt and grease. She wears a black tank top, as well as a pair of black welding goggles around her neck.
Personality: She gets attached to people easily, and usually doesn't use formalities when interacting with others. She's friendly and extroverted, but can be headstrong without tact, which might strike some as rude. She also wouldn't strike anyone as particularly brainy, but she is excellent with mathematics.
History: Much to her mother's dismay, she's always been quite the 'tomboy.' She was wild as a child, and growing up in an increasingly violent town like Firefly didn't help much with her personality. Her father, on the other hand, didn't mind her personality though, and brought her along on his engineering jobs to burn energy and give her something to do, even giving her her first Pokémon, a Litleo descended from his own female Pyroar. As a result, she became fascinated with machines and the ruins of old buildings from when Firefly was a much nicer place. Her mother, a Sunlighter, died while topside when she was six and her father, riddled with mourning and depression, followed two years later. Her personality became much less abrasive afterwards, and more 'klingy' for lack of a better word, towards those she grew close to.
Pokemon Team: Litleo, Mudsdale

Name:
Cairo
Age: Adolescent
Gender: Male
Job: He's Rai's best friend, and gives Rai a flame if she needs to weld for a project or simply needs a light in the dim tunnels.
Species (If Pokemon): Litleo
Appearance: A normal Litleo, if a little on the small end of the size scale. He wears a canvas collar with metal tags that make noise when he moves, so that it's easier for Rai to find him when he gets lost.
Personality: He's extremely curious and likes to investigate new things and areas, but this coupled with his poor sense of direction gets him into trouble pretty often. He takes after Rai in that he's friendly, but is easier to intimidate than his partner.
History (Optional): He's the only offspring of Rai's father's partner, a female Pyroar. Once he was hatched, he was given to an eight-year-old Rai and they grew up together, becoming inseparable.
Move Set (If Pokemon): Ember, Headbutt, Noble Roar, Echoed Voice, Flamethrower.

Name:
Duke
Age: Adult
Gender: Male
Job: He helps carry any supplies or materials too heavy for Rai herself or simply give her a ride through the tunnels.
Species (If Pokemon): Mudsdale
Appearance: A normal Mudsdale with a bridle, saddle, and saddlebags on each side. These saddlebags contain tools, supplies (such as food) and a harness system in case Rai needs to transport something larger.
Personality: He's generally lax and not adventurous, so he doesn't get into much trouble on his own. When getting a ride from him, good luck going anywhere particularly fast unless he feels like it, though. In other words, he can pretty stubborn, but giving him food or affection gets Rai in his good graces. Once an emotional bond formed, he became more affectionate. It's still a pain to get work out of him, though.

Honestly, I forgot about it myself! You're accepted :)
 
Name: Laura
Age: 19
Gender: female
Job: Since her father is a merchant, and trades and resells goods, she works alongside him.
Appearance: Laura is average height, is on the slim side, and has black hair cut in a bob, bangs, and green eyes. She wears brown overalls and a light green t-shirt.
Personality: Laura is quite indecisive, due to her not wanting to insult anyone. She has a timid exterior, although she wishes she could be more firm and stubborn. She doesn't like meddling and is usually quiet. Her biggest worry is her father, whose wife and son, who were both Sunlighters, havent returned to them in three years, bit Laura can't help but hope that they're okay, and that she wants to find them.
History: She was born to a family of Starlighters, from her mother's side, while her father's family were merchants. Her mother, Joan, was a Starlighter too, and so was her brother, Kyle. She never felt like she was cut out for such a job, though, and after not hearing any news about them for years, she feels even less prepared. That, and she doesn't want to leave her father alone. In the years she hasn't seen her mother and Kyle, she started working alongside her father, who got more lonely by the day. Still, Laura knows, she can feel it, that both her brother and mother were alright. Wether it was blind hope or true, from the day she had that though, it had culminated little every day, and soon she knows she is going to have to leave. But she can't decide if she was going to risk her life to see if her suspicions were true, or stay with her father and take care of him.
Pokemon: She has a Vaporeon (ohoho), who used to belong to her brother. The Vaporeon used to belong to her brother, and it was the only one of his Pokemon to stay before Kyle's last expedition. Since then, she took care of it every day.

Name: Oscar
Age: ?
Gender: Male
Species: Vaporeon
Personality: Oscar had always been sort of a pet. They'd spoiled him when he was an Eevee, and although he went above ground, he still has something pet-like in him. When duty calls, though, he's very disciplined. He cares for both Kyle, and Laura.
Moveset: Ice Beam, Water Gun, Protect, Toxic

This will probably undergo some changes, since it's late for me, but it seemed too interesting not to give it a go haha.

Accepted! I like the idea of your character!

First to reply! Also, RP is already up after checking.

I might possibly provide a floor plan of the place if needed.
That’d be neat if you feel up to it!

Accepted! I’d also reccomend learning to put each thing on a new line, like the others up above. It makes everything cleaner :)

*??? puts his safety goggles on and climbs up onto the blueprints table and continues with his work, as he drops a note to you*

I suppose I'll be putting my CAD skills to use then, the floor plan should be done in about an hour or two most likely. (Though this will be a bit vague like a blueprint almost since I do not want to exactly reveal everything. This is because this will be revealed in the RP for the most part.)
 
Alright, it seems that I still have the skills to create a floor plan equivalent to one of those blueprints. (Note that the locations of furniture and other stuff will be revealed in the RP as stated earlier. The key below will explain how to read the floor plan and note that the floor numbers are reversed; I.e. The biggest number is at the bottom and the least is at the top because of the laboratory being underground instead of building straight up like a traditional building.)

  • White Area: Open Area (The area you can always walk through.)
  • Gray Area: Door (All doors in the laboratory are made of resilient steel and feature a unique horizontal handle for easy use.)
  • Diagonally Lined Area: Wall (The walls are made of somewhat old concrete and soundproof materials on the inside, as the people that were here in the past did not want others to hear their operations taking place below.)
  • Horizontally Lined Area: Stairs (Arrows indicate direction of traveling to the next floor and from the prior floor.)
  • TYP: Typical (This is to show the wall's thickness. For the laboratory, the wall is two inches thick.)
  • Scale: The proportion of the drawing's size to the actual thing. (The actual place is five times bigger than the drawing.)
  • Arrows (With lines on both ends): Dimensional lines (Used for specifying measurements of the building or certain areas.)
  • Utility Room: Also known as the laundry room, this is the area where you can clean various articles of clothing, fix a missing button and more.
  • Washroom: Commonly known as the bathroom, this is the place where one can relieve themselves and get all of their hygienic tasks done.
  • Living Room: The place where everyone can talk, relax or simply stare off into space.
  • Kitchen: The area where food gets prepared and cooked to perfection.
  • Dining Area: The place where everyone typically eats their food after the kitchen has its fair share of work.
  • Nursery: A special room that caters to younger Pokémon of all shapes and sizes while being equipped with various items for these kinds of Pokémon. (This is the room that Tyler and Veril sleep in.)
  • Medical Room: Are you hurt, sick, or on your last breath? This is the place you would find yourself in if you manage to get in those kinds of situations.
  • Bedroom: The area where one can freely unwind all of their stress and obtain a first class ticket to dreamland. (This is the room that Serah and Simon sleep in.)
  • Closet: A small area where clothes and other similar articles are neatly stored in for easy access.
  • Generator Room: The place that a huge generator rests in, as various turbines work in a discreet manner to provide more than enough energy for the place. A quick analysis from several old blueprints revealed that unlike other energy producing machines, the generator runs on various elements commonly found in air all life takes in. The machine converts the elements into energy in a safe and silent manner to prevent flashbacks and other disasters.
  • Storage Area: An area where most things are stored, from non-perishable foods to other items like powerful medicines and batteries.
  • Laboratory: The place where Serah and scientists can perform research and study upon various subjects to develop more knowledge. Many old documents were kept intact and newer ones were born as new paths of medicine were discovered.

Sorry, had to go to bed, will post form for Bubbles when I get up.
It's okay, Hai. Everything looks good so far!
 
That is certainly something that struck my head while I was cooking up another post. (I presume that most of the people are living in like run down areas while my trainer is kinda having the opposite kinda after accidentally discovering the place and mostly keeping the secret to herself and her Pokémon.)
 
The ultimate jackpot XD But yeah, I assume that while resources were plentiful 80-some years ago, people could build to their heart's content, but soon those started running thin and everything just kinda broke down, either in disrepair or from crime. If no one can find the lab, they can't loot resources like food or machine parts ^^
 
I mean, the lab still has its security because of the people that were there in the past until the entire place was abandoned some time ago. (I.e. Coded locks, a hidden camera and other stuff.)

Of course, the place couldn’t have been modified and converted into a more friendlier place without someone else’s help since I’m pretty sure that even a doctor has its limits in advanced construction. (And that character that assisted them will likely be revealed soon once they are back, and I’ll have to make a bio for them most likely.)

I’ll likely have my characters stay in their lab for a bit of time before some of them head outside. (Also, the laboratory is some distance away from the village and other main areas. The door to the place also requires two codes and it is a bit hard to see with some rust and dirt camouflaging it.)
 
Announcement!
I want everyone to try and get their first posts up today. I understand some of you may be busy, and that’s okay. I just want everyone’s first post up or in progress. I just have to make sure some of you didn’t join this then abandoned it, Thanks!
 
Second one’s up already. I’m sometimes a bit slower with posts, but that’s because they’re polished and sparkle a bit too much I think.

I’ll specify the current locations of my characters since I haven’t gotten into much detail yet.
  • Nursery: Veril and Tyler
  • Bedroom: Serah and Simon
 
To the person that posted before Floob:

You do realize that the surface is practically impossible to survive in right? (Plus I’d doubt that there would be such lush vegetation underground unless if we had the technology to. Even if we did, I would also doubt that most of the population would even be living in run down houses anyway.)
