Without warning. September 5, 2012... that was the day the Event happened. Nobody, then or since, came up with a reason. All people who can remember know was that at 5:32 AM, Eastern time, a blinding white light overtook nearly the entire planet. Once it dissipated, just under an hour later, sixty percent of humanity had vanished, and another fifteen became a whole slew of horrific zombie-like mutants. Was it a natural disaster of unprecedented scale? A secret superweapon gone horribly wrong? Did Arceus toss the metaphorical chessboard off the table? Nobody knows for sure. All that can be confirmed was that soon after, the world fell into lawlessness.
The Tri-State Area - New York City and Long Island, northern New Jersey, and western Connecticut - ended up becoming something of a hub for civilization to start anew, which isn't exactly saying much considering the entire region's population is smaller than that of just Brooklyn and Queens alone pre-Event. Different groups have formed, though none have managed to take a comfortable rule yet. Except for the many small communities that have formed in what were once thriving cities and towns, chaos still rules, and everyone has to always know one thing: watch your back.
IMPORTANT GROUPS (the Big Four):
RULES:
-No god-modding, no being insanely overpowered, yada yada yada.
-This RP is rated mature, so there are no limits on gore, language, or anything of that sort. Sex is fine, too, if you want.
-Do not kill another RPer's character without permission. Ask me if you'd like to cause a major event in the timeline.
-This RP takes place in the Poke-Earth dimension, so don't forget about the possibility of wild Pokemon attacks (or catching them, using Pokemon in combat, etc.).
-Limit of three characters per RPer. I get four because I'm special.

Different groups have formed, though none have managed to take a comfortable rule yet. Except for the many small communities that have formed in what were once thriving cities and towns, chaos still rules, and everyone has to always know one thing: watch your back.
IMPORTANT GROUPS (the Big Four):
-The Neo-Union - Founded by pre-Event vice president Murphy Cousins (D-NJ, not that anybody cares anymore), the Neo-Union are the closest thing the post-Event world has to a functioning government. Headquartered in Washington but with a strong presence in New York City, they generally attempt to play the role of peacemaker in the lawless lands to the best of their abilities. They mean well, but their high amounts of resources and wealth have a tendency to go to their heads.
-The Risen South - On the contrary, the Risen South seem to solely exist to make trouble for Tri-Staters. They formed in Birmingham almost immediately after the Event, and hold true to their deeply-held, some say radical neo-conservative beliefs. Their territories stretch from Louisiana to Florida all the way up to Pennsylvania, and they aren't fun to live in if you're not a straight, white Christian male. In recent months, they've made several conquests in Delaware, and some are preparing for an imminent war with the Neo-Union. Have been the only ones to manage to tame mutants and use them in combat... how, only their higher-ups know.
-The Long Islanders - Based on (where else?) Long Island, the Islanders are noticeably much more close-knit than the giants of the Neo-Union and Risen South. They claim all of the former Nassau and Suffolk Counties, Queens, and Brooklyn, as well as sharing claims to Staten Island and Manhattan (which is an "international zone" of sorts). While relatively small, the Islanders are incredibly well-armed in relation to their numbers, and are not to be taken lightly... it's a good thing they're pretty friendly. Their capital is The Dale (pre-Event Farmingdale and Massapequa), and they represent themselves with the logo of the old New York Islanders hockey team.
-The Coastal Republic - The Coastal Republic claim most of New Jersey, southern mainland New York, and pretty much all of Connecticut. Despite having some of the most powerful Pokemon trainers in post-Event North America, their political system can charitably be called a mess. An ally of the Neo-Union, the Coastal Republic have basically been supported by them from day one. Their capital is Hartford.
-The Risen South - On the contrary, the Risen South seem to solely exist to make trouble for Tri-Staters.

MY CHARACTERS:
Name: Jimmy Sergei Lecavalier
Age: 23
Lives In: The Dale, Long Island
Appearance: White; 6'0"; black hair dyed purple, cut short on the sides and spiky on top and back; green eyes with purple contacts; heavily tattooed on arms; black nail polish.
Outfit: Grey T-shirt with sleeves cut off; black denim vest with multiple patches; black jeans, baggy with a rip on the left knee; black high-top sneakers with grey laces; studded wristbands.
Personality: Jimmy is normally a rather approachable and friendly guy, but has a tendency to be a jackass to people that look unfriendly. He cares deeply about his friends, and can be over-protective of them at times. Hates Risen Southerners.
Background: Jimmy was born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, and managed to live a relatively normal childhood. Upon turning twelve, he began his Pokemon journey alongside a then newly-befriended Flannery, at the same time finding time to harness his skateboarding skills. Through many trials and tribulations, he eventually worked his way up to being North American Pokemon Champion and winning a long list of skateboarding tournaments. Then the Event happened. In the now-lawless world, Jimmy headed out to Long Island with Flannery, as well as his best friends Winona and Wallace, to start anew and try the best they could at pretty much starting all over again.
Starting Weapons: T91 assault rifle, MAC-10 machine pistol, barbed-wire baseball bat
Pokemon Team: Gengar, Gliscor, Porygon-Z, Weezing, Feraligatr, Tyranitar
Other: Romantically involved with Flannery.
Name: Flannery Margaret Moore
Age: 23
Lives In: The Dale, Long Island
Appearance: White; 5'10"; red hair done up in a quad-ponytail; red eyes; flame tattoos on her wrists and ankles and a sun tattoo around her navel; red-orange nail polish.
Outfit: Red crop top with orange flame design on front; sleeveless black leather vest; baggy blue jeans with a flame design at the bottoms of the legs; black and red skate shoes.
Personality: Flannery wants to be a very outgoing person, and in fact has managed to make quite a few friends. However, suffering from pyromania as well as a couple other unidentified disorders causes her to experience fits of rage, anxiety, and depression. When she's overtaken in these "psychotic breaks," she relies heavily on her friends to bring her back down.
Background: Flannery is technically the daughter of acclaimed psychopathic murdered Johnny Gorgote. However, a few months after her birth she was taken away by Child Services and adopted by a lesbian couple from Arizona. With them, her life improved drastically, until reports started coming from school that Flannery had began to display "disturbing behavior" more and more. In the meantime, she trained Fire-type Pokemon exclusively, and managed to become Gym Leader of Phoenix upon returning from her journey with Jimmy. Her psyche got worse upon resuming school, and after hitting rock bottom during her junior year (where she brutally killed two bullies in self-defense gone too far), Flannery resolved to keep herself in control. While she still has the occasional psychotic lapse, she's made good on that promise... for the most part.
Starting Weapons: HK G36C assault rifle, Molotov cocktails, fire axe (has a tendency to use her lucky lighter to set things aflame as well)
Pokemon Team: Torkoal, Houndoom, Charizard, Magcargo, Heat Rotom, Arcanine
Other: Romantically involved with Jimmy.
Name: Winona Skylar Byrd
Age: 25
Lives In: The Dale, Long Island
Appearance: White; 5'8", long lavender hair with two wing-like bangs; lavender eyes; wing tattoos on her back; sky-blue nail polish.
Outfit: Dark blue Columbus Blue Jackets hockey sweater with light blue and white accents; white jeans; dark blue running shoes with light blue laces and accents.
Personality: Generally respectful, brave, and very much a leader type. Has a tendency to be unnecessarily deep and soulful when the situation doesn't call for it. In combat, she can be very stern and bossy, and tries to talk her major adversaries down instead of just shooting them.
Background: Born to the Gym Leader of Columbus, Ohio, Winona loved Flying-type Pokemon from day one. She became a very good trainer very fast, taking the role of Leader at just age thirteen. She eventually became friends with Jimmy and Flannery, and developed a relationship with Wallace whenever the two met at tournaments and the like. They eventually moved in together, and life went pretty smoothly for a few years. When the Event happened, Winona suffered something of a complete breakdown, unsure what to do with this new world. With the help of her friends, she got over it, and they now reside in The Dale.
Starting Weapons: Steyr Scout sniper rifle, dual suppressed Makarov pistols, spiked brass knuckles
Pokemon Team: Altaria, Swellow, Skarmory, Salamence, Pelipper, Crobat
Other: Romantically involved with Wallace.
Name: Wallace Jacques Clearwater
Age: 25
Lives In: The Dale, Long Island
Appearance: White; 5'10"; medium-length styled turquoise hair; turquoise eyes; turquoise nail polish.
Outfit: Teal/white long-sleeved button-down shirt; pinkish-purple jeans; white high-top sneakers with teal laces; off-white fisherman's cap.
Personality: A very nice person in general, Wallace is very protective of his friends like Jimmy is. Easily the most "normal" of the four, he's polite, easygoing, and generally doesn't seem like a guy who could blow your head off with one shotgun shell. He's also straight-edge. However, he does have a tendency to be rather stuck-up and talk down to people sometimes.
Background: Hailing from Orlando, Florida, Wallace has always been a very talented individual; Pokemon training, contests, modeling, fishing, he's pretty much seen and done it all. After becoming the youngest Champion in the state of Florida's history, he traveled around for a while before meeting Winona, whom he formed a very strong bond - and eventually, an even stronger relationship - with. He probably had the most subdued reaction to the Event, comforting Winona the best he could while quietly musing how nothing would ever be the same. While he does get shunned by some Islanders for being a Southerner, he's fully prepared to take on the Risen South with the rest of his friends should they put up a fight - and alongside his Water-type Pokemon, will eagerly show off his own twelve-gauge version of Southern hospitality.
Starting Weapons: Ithaca Model 37 shotgun, Colt M1911 pistol, stiletto knife
Pokemon Team: Milotic, Greninja, Tentacruel, Ludicolo, Whiscash, Slowking
Other: Romantically involved with Winona.
Age: 23
Lives In: The Dale, Long Island
