The world long has been enslaved by an evil overlord who only goes by the name of The Avatar. Pokemon and humans alike have become slaves to him and his dark minions, Pokemon were controlled to be nothing but killing machines.

How did he take over the world? He managed to steal the Champion Cynthia's Pokemon along with Lance's and Steve's, the rest of the world did not stand a chance as he used them to destroy everyone. He created a device that would take control of any Pokemon and destroy their thoughts. And somehow he has managed to grab some mysterious powers of his own but this is only a rumor.

A year ago he descended on Kanto and making his base in Viridan City, Johto was soon to follow along with Sinnoh and Hoenn, then Isshu fell to his control and the rest of the world followed.

All seemed lost as any resistance that tried stopping him were taken out by his minions and the controlled Pokemon. All trainers were forced to give up their Pokemon or die, many ended up dying for their Pokemon.

And if things couldn't get any worse, The Avatar lunged attacks against all of the legendaries and created clones of the Masterball. The bird trio was caught first and Mew ended up being caught. Followed by Entei, Raikou and Suicune with the Regi trio and Pixie trio coming next. Nobody thought he could do it, but every legend was caught including Arceus, for some unknown reason he had not captured any of the Isshu legendaries and none have been seen since the world was taken over.

With such power under his control nobody believed the world had a chance, he forced a beautiful woman to marry him and spawn his child so that child could carry on the legacy of the Avatar if he were to ever die, this bride has never been seen but rumor has it the bride is one of the female gym leaders in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn or Sinnoh but nobody knew who since all gym leaders were either killed or gone missing and their Pokemon under his control.

However while he had begun to take over the world in Kanto and Johto, in Sinnoh a couple of strong trainers could tell he was going to succeed with the help of an Gardevoir predicting the future. They gathered together and ran off to an island to hide, he never found them but knew the existence of who they were, and they called themselves The Reborn. The Reborn of strong trainers who are planning to take back their world with their Pokemon.

And those trainers is you. Will you be the one to fight against the Avatar and win for the world or will he win forever?


After weeks of wanting to make a RP I finally thought of one. Okay here's the laydown: This trainer known as the Avatar has managed to catch every legend with a cloned Masterball, taken over the world and has an legion of minions who stand in the way between the Reborn and the Avatar.

You are the Reborn and managed to escape before he could find you. You are a powerful trainer but not enough to warrant his attention as he attacked the E4 and Gym leaders of the Pokemon world. You know the other trainers in the Reborn as you came together a year ago and ran to an island west of Kanto. This Island used to have an town on it but was deserted, so the Avatar never bothered as not even a Pokemon lived there, but oddly there was tons of supplies on the island.

Now it's time to head to Kanto and fight the Avatar's armies, the controlled Pokemon under his command and the legendaries. It will not be an easy fight especially against the Avatar.

While planning the attacks, the trainers must face a moral dilemma on the way, they know of the secret bride and the spawn. They must decide to kill the spawn that's about to be born killing the mother as well or kill the spawn after it's born and rescue the mother, or rescue both and hope the child does not end up like it's father.

Name: Raven Savage

Age: 33

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Lesbian

Description: Raven has long black hair the same color as the bird Raven, with brown eyes and pale skin weighing about averege weight but fit, she is 5'7 tall and usually wears black leather clothes.

Personality: Raven can be quite cold and hardened by her life experience but deep down inside she is a nice person, but she tries not to show it too much because she doesn't believe that many people can be trusted.

History: Raven was born in Sinnoh in her whole life and was actually a great child with a good home. She started her journey at sixteen with two Ralts as her starter Pokemon that her parents gave to her. She competed against the Sinnoh Pokemon League and came out in the top three, training her Pokemon hard came in handy. Later she retired but still trained hard stayed with her big family and had a girlfriend.

However at the age of twenty five Raven's entire family was killed in an explosion, Raven and her Pokemon managed to escape but she watched as her house burned to the ground in tears, from that day forward she could not trust anyone, eventually the guy who did this was found and arrested.

Raven ended up with a girlfriend at thirty, a woman named Scarlett and a few months later both were dating Sable Blackstone and were in a threesome together. However Scarlett and Sable disappeared shortly before the Avatar attacked, believed to be kidnapped and Raven attempted to find them until her Gardevoir's psychic powers told her about the Avatar and Raven able to understand her gathered a few strong trainers in Sinnoh after the attack on Cynthia, Gardevoir guided her to the trainers and quickly they fled to the deserted island that Raven used to visit alot when she was a kid. From then they trained hard until the day they had to fight the Avatar.

Pokemon: Gardevoir, Gallade, Ninetales, Arcanine, Umbreon, Scizor


Okay I hope to get a few people in, and if it helps someone can always apply to be a minion of the Avatar of they like. Remember your character's Pokemon must be strong otherwise they stand no chance against the Avatar. When the RP starts everyone knows each other and have for a few months.
 
Name: Cole "Flaming" Jacobson

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Sexuality: Straight

Description: Cole has a dark brown hair that some swear is a brownish-red color, but he always says it isn't. However, if the light catches it in just the right place and the wind is strong enough, his hair appears to catch on fire for just a second. This is really because of his brief history in Contests, where he used it as part of his costume. Ever since then, he's never really been able to get all of the special oil he used to make the illusion of fire completely out of his hair. This has also contributed to his nickname. Cole has dark brown eyes and somewhat bad eyesight, but he prefers to go without glasses, mainly because he hates them. He has a semi-pale complexion.

Cole normally wears a dark red T-shirt that has accumulated several rips and scratches, along with faded jeans that have also gotten several scratches over the years. He pulls a black leather jacket over it all, sometimes using a black hoodie instead in colder times, when a thin jacket doesn't work to keep him warm enough. To finish it all off, Cole wears a Fire Stone on a chain made up of gold and silver links.

Personality: Cole is somewhat arrogant, sometimes stating things that aren't true just to get attention. He is very stubborn, never defecting from his ideas until he is absolutely, positively sure that it won't work, and not even then sometimes. He is a bit of a loner at times, and has a burning temper. Some joke that anyone who makes Cole mad will be burnt to a crisp by his anger. All in all, he is friendly, if a bit antisocial (Yeah, that's contradictory).

History Cole grew up in Jubilife City, Sinnoh. He always hated everything about his hometown. He hated the lights, the people, the city, his rich parents, everything.

Well, almost everything. There was one thing, well actually many things, that lived in Jubilife City that Cole loved more than life itself.

Pokemon.

On Cole's tenth birthday, his parents had tried to give him his father's pure-bred Arcanine. It was even snobbier than the richest, most spoiled person in Sinnoh, and Cole despised it. He vowed never to touch the Pokemon's perfectly groomed fur, much less train it.

So one day, Cole left his home. He didn't venture too far, only enough to get out of his hometown and to a place more quiet. He eventually made it to Sandgem Town. He had managed to sneak some money from his parents, and bought a room in a house. He live here for a few months, then left on a boat headed for Hoenn.

After this, Cole began to train Pokemon. His parents never found him, and he doubted they even noticed his absence. After coming in a VERY close second place in the Hoenn Pokemon League, he retired for a little while to train his Pokemon, then became succesful in Contests. After that he returned to training his Pokemon and finally managed to beat the pokemon League at sixteen years old. However, he turned down the offer to stay in the League and battle challengers, instead settling down in Petalburg City and getting a girlfriend.

Then the Avatar attacked. Cole had been prepared for the moment for a while, of course, but he hadn't expected it to be so destructive. As they fled the city, Cole's girlfriend was killed by one of the Avatar's minion's Mightyenas, and he promised to avenge her death by destroying the Avatar in any way possible. However, Cole was forced to flee to an island he had gone on vacation to several times before to train and prepare to destroy the Avatar.


Pokemon

Blaziken (Male)

Cole's first actual Pokemon. He got it as a Torchic, then trained it until it was his stongest teammate. They share a VERY close bond.

Lucario (Male)

One of Cole's last Pokemon he collected before starting his Contest career. He is always loyal to Cole, and will never back down to a fight.

Flareon (Female)

Cole actually recieved this Pokemon in an anonymous present. (He now guesses that it was his parents who sent this Pokemon) She is somewhat snobby and queen-like, but over time Cole has begun to appreciate her strength as a pure-bred Pokemon. His Flareon doesn't exactly love him, but will never disobey orders.

Espeon (Female)

This Espeon was a gift from Cole's girlfriend, several days before the Avatar took over. They knew that they might be seperated, so they traded Umbreon for Espeon to always have something from each other to hold onto. This Espeon trusts Cole without question, and is very kind. Just like Cole's girlfriend did, Espeon is constantly correcting and pointing out Cole's mistakes, but in a friendly way.

Umbreon (Male)

An Eevee Cole found in Sandgem Town evolved into this Pokemon. The Eevee was never officially like one of Cole's Pokemon, as he treated it more like a pet until he got his Torchic. It was traded for Cole's girlfriend's Espeon, but came back to Cole after his girfriend died. It and Espeon are basicalyl boyfriend and girfriend, just like Cole and his girlfriend were.

Charmeleon (Male)

Cole's newest Pokemon, Charmeleon isn't too friendly towards him or the other Pokemon. However, he'll never disobey one of Cole's order. He is arrogant and stubborn, though.


I hope this is enough! It's probably one of my more detailed sign-ups.

Accepted, I hope he can work with other people though because they will need to work together
 
Don't worry, he will. He just prefers to work by himself a bit more than working with others. He'll still team up with the others when neccesary, don't worry.
 
This looks somewhat interesting...Will try to post a signup later tonight.
 
Think this has to be the longest signup i've done in a while...

Name: Makina

Age: 22

Gender:
Female

Sexuality:
Straight

Description:
Dark grey midlength hair that always seems to be a mess and quite long in the front, yellow eyes. She tends to wear a grey mercenary-type shirt with black markings, along with dark blue jeans.

Personality: Generally sarcastic, but not to a serious fault. She would much rather be battling or joking around telling people what to do. Because of this, she tends to be a follower rather then a leader. The only time she is serious is when either her friends or her Pokemon are in danger.

History:
Makina was born and raised in Blackthorn City, where her family, a long line of dragon trainers, raised her to help carry along the family name. Instead, she discovered a love for Dark-type Pokemon instead, much to her parent's chagrin. Still, kids will be kids so they didn't press the matter much (not to mention that her sister was already an esteemed Dragon trainer)...Only that she would take a Dragon type as a starter when she became a trainer. Agreeing upon this, on her 12th birthday she finally left home with a Bagon.

While Makina took the League challenge like many other trainers, the whole system seemed rather boring to her. Because of this, she tended to stop trying after around 6 badges or so. As the years went by she still didn't seem to find much of a niche in life, flitting between battling, catching rare Pokemon, and even Contests for a short time. Nothing seemed to interest her, and after almost ten years of trying she returned home.

It was a disaster. Her family home was in flames, along with all the other homes close to the Dragon's Den. While she found her parent's bodies, her sister was nowhere to be found...Before she could check the Gym to make sure at least the Leader was alright, Zen, her Gallade, made her stop. Without another word, the Pokemon had teleported her to an island with other refugees. There, the others filled her on what exactly had happened...

Pokemon:


Thief (Sneasel, Female): Makina's only unevolved Pokemon, and most often partner in crime. Tends to be mischievious.

Salo (Salamence, Male): Salo was Makina's first Pokemon, and was the most effected by the damage caused to Blackthorn. Is very hotheaded.

Quicksilver (Skarmory, Female): Makina's first caught Pokemon. Tends to be her flyer, but is a decent battler in its own right.

Zen (Gallade, Male): Zen is originally one of Makina's friends Pokemon, and was only in her possession for a quick teleport to her hometown. Since his original trainer is currently missing however, he is a more permanant addition to her team.

Luna (Absol, Female): Luna is the fastest member of the team, and because of this often teams up with Thief, often unwillingly, in pranks. She's generally easygoing though.

Stream (Vaporeon, Male): Makina's newest Pokemon. He's usually as placid as well, a stream.

And if you need a minion...

Name: Serena

Age: 32

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Straight

Description: Long dark grey hair, yellow eyes. Tends to wear a longsleeved indigo shirt with overly baggy sleeves for show. Wears dark grey jeans with black boots.

Personality: Perfectionist to a T, and believes might makes right. Everything has to be and must be perfect in her eyes. Because of this and her sister's easygoing personality, the two often butted heads in the past.

History: Serena was born in Blackthorn as the oldest in her family, so because of this she felt that it was her duty to carry down the family line of Dragon training. She tried stressing this fact to her younger sister as well, but the latter simply laughed and brushed off her duties, much to her annoyance. When her sister left on her journey, she was relieved to finally train in peace.

In the past ten years, however, she began to grow bored of her duties. The other Dragon trainers were content to stay and guard the city and Den, when in her opinion they should be trying to show their power to the other cities. It seemed weak in her eyes, so over time she began to hate that which she wished to protect. When the Avatar began his assault on the world and eventually Blackthorn, Serena did not fight his forces...Instead, she began to follow them.

Pokemon: Dragonite, Salamence, Altaria, Gyarados, Dragonair, Ursaring
 
Accepted! There may not be much for Serena to do in the beginning but we can find something for her.
 
Alright, there we go.

Name
Jordan Summers, though he usually insists that he can be called by any name that others please.

Age
21

Gender
Male

Sexuality
Straight

Description
http://a.yfrog.com/img208/1372/jordanak47.jpg
(Add a few years to the picture and it’s pretty much it.)

Jordan stands at 5’11”, has somewhat pale white skin and brown hair in a crew cut. Jordan has only two pairs of clothing, mostly identical: a pair of light blue jeans, a plain black and white t-shirt and his dark grey hoodie. Jordan also wears a camouflage print baseball hat and a pair of blue-tinted sunglasses. Usually concealed by the sleeves of his hoodie, Jordan also wears a red and white bracelet made out of a shoelace on his right wrist.

Personality
Jordan’s most notable personality trait is that he is very rarely angered, and never for more than a few minutes if ever. Jordan consciously tries to remain calm in every situation, and finds humor in other people’s inability to do so. Even if confronted with someone who is openly hostile to him, he is highly unlikely to show an equal or even a remotely similar amount of aggression. In spite of this, Jordan has no problem fueling conflict with verbal taunting, and will even be willing to get into a physical fight, but only in retaliation. In disregard to his reaction to conflict, Jordan is generally friendly to those around him. No matter whom it may be for, Jordan is usually willing to be as helpful as he can capably be, and will just as commonly put others before himself. He usually tries to maintain a respectful demeanor, taking pride in how he was both raised and trained. Jordan doesn’t think too heavily on what he says in a casual environment however, even if it could be potentially offensive. However, as Jordan doesn’t react negatively to any such comment directed towards him, he is sometimes inconsiderate in what he says, as he considers pain caused verbally to be no legitimate pain.

History
Born in Vermilion city, Jordan practically grew up on the docks of fishing boats as it was what he was exposed to most as a child. Unlike his older brother, as a young boy Jordan didn’t have many friends, nor did he like the idea of trying to make any. Rather, he felt perfectly fine spending most of his time out of school around the docks where his dad ran a single fishing boat. Jordan wouldn’t even have a single friend until he was eleven, but even so he devoted his young life to fishing and raising the Ralts that was given to him by his parents. As Jordan reached his teenage years, he avoided the more popular path taken by other boys of his age, widely refusing parties, drugs and avoiding relationships with girls.

Once Jordan finished with school, he took up a temporary job working on his father’s boat as a deckhand while he contemplated where he should go next with his life. Months later, he came to a decision as he gave the next phase of his life to the military, enlisting in the Kanto Armed Forces at the age of eighteen. Highly devoted and loyal to the Kanto region, Jordan was more than happy to let himself ride the Kanto Army as long as he could, gladly pledging his loyalty to Kanto and its citizens. However, Jordan had not at all expected to face an unwinnable battle only halfway through his second year in the Army. As The Avatar began storming through the entire Kanto region, the Army was requested to deal with the threat of The Avatar and the forces he had assembled at the time. This was when Jordan had the opportunity to witness the power of the enemy, and the destruction of all that stood before him. Seeing how hopeless this situation was, and in spite of the oath he had taken to defend the region, Jordan understood the capabilities of The Avatar and wanted to ensure the safety of his girlfriend before anything.

Fleeing to Goldenrod City, Jordan met with his brother and said girlfriend as they planned to escape to the Hoenn region. Explaining that he needed to retrieve essential possessions from his home in Vermilion, Jordan urged them leave him behind, promising to follow them in due time. However, as The Avatar invaded Goldenrod Jordan hid in the basement of the Pokemart, avoiding either the capture or death that he anticipated. In the wake of The Avatar’s attack, Jordan took flight in the opposite direction as the Hoenn region, finding and joining the resistance group, the Reborn. As long as Jordan still had a promise to fulfill for the Kanto region, he planned to ensure it would not be forgotten.

Pokemon
Ranger/Gallade(M) – The only Pokemon that belonged to Jordan before the attacks of The Avatar. Jordan hatched Ranger from an egg as a child, and this Ralts followed him through life, school and into the Kanto Armed Forces. Ranger’s greatest enjoyment is conflict in itself, especially in Pokemon battle. Though his abilities have been matched several times, Ranger’s overconfidence and aggression were strong after his evolution to a Gallade until Jordan began enforcing discipline. Though this behavior is still present, it isn’t as strong as a result.

Seraph/Gardevoir(F) – The Gardevoir previously belonging to the girl Jordan dated before The Avitar’s takeover of Kanto, Sierra Riley. Seraph was Sierra’s first Pokemon, caught nearby her parent’s house in the Hoenn region. Seraph, like Jordan, is very willing to help others around her and is friendly to them as well, Pokemon and human alike. Seraph is much less combative than Ranger, or even Jordan, attacking others only if ordered by her master or is she, said master, or those she cares about are attacked.

Tinderbox/Typhlosion(M) – The Typhlosion left behind by Jordan’s friend, Kenneth Howard, with the intent for Jordan to find it in his Goldenrod home. Tinderbox was one of the few Pokemon that Kenneth received in a trip to the Johto region, the result of trading away a Scyther. Though his demeanor may suggest otherwise, Tinderbox isn’t as much lazy as he is constantly relaxed. The Typhlosion lounges around everywhere, relishing every opportunity for sleep and uncommonly seen engaging in more strenuous activity then walking about with Jordan, or previously Kenneth. Even so, Tinderbox was one of the strongest Pokemon previously belonging to Jordan’s old friend, which was partially the reason that he was left for Jordan to watch.

Sgt. Sterling/Metagross(N/A) – Jordan’s final borrowed Pokemon from his friend met in the Kanto Army, Buck Reed. As the only person who knew that Jordan was going to flee his battle against The Avatar, Buck insisted upon Jordan taking the Metagross issued to him by the Kanto Armed Forces in the hopes that it would help Jordan with whatever it was he was going to face in the future, being sure The Avatar’s fight would not end in Kanto. Sgt. Sterling is pure soldier with a personality stiff as the steel that makes up its body, and a will to do nothing but abide to orders of its master. Jordan does enjoy its company however, even if it’s company as good as a large rock.

Will post up the start up when more people sign up, just a few more though. Goldenrod needs to post her SU too
 
DON'T CALL ME THAT! I HAD A THING UNDERNEATH MY NAME FOR AGES SAYING DON'T CALL ME THAT!!!

*Ahem* Sorry, but I don't think I'll have time to write a sign up if you're waiting on me. Turns out I've got school on Monday since the snow's decided to piss off back to wherever the hell it came from. I know I said I would, but you're waiting, and I don't want to keep you waiting~!
 
Well I wouldn't mind a wait in exchange for more players, really. Sorry about being frank, but it doesn't look like we're likely to get more than four anywho.
 
Goldenrodgirl- Sorry! But hey I have been calling you that for ages:p I was just used to it and that's okay I understand
SPF- True, I think I will do the start up sooner, four's fine really. And it just occurred me your character only has four Pokemon, would you mind adding two? I mean this is a war and they need all the strength they can get (Sorry for missing that), don't have to but it could help.

If you wanted you could always say that one of my past RPs characters that have interacted with yours gave you the Pokemon (Kinda like an Alternate Universe though)
 
Was hoping there would be more characters on the Avatar's side as well. Should I scrap Serena then? If so it's no problem.
 
Hey, do you honestly think that I'd join without being on the side of malevolence at some point or another? Sounds like an interesting idea, I'm definitely in. I like to think that I've improved RP-wise since the last time I did an RP with you, so I think I'll give this a shot. Lemme post some sign-ups: one for the Reborn, and one for the side of the avatar. Be back in a second.
 
Akinai- Well there doesn't seem to be anymore, but when the Avatar appears I will be playing as him, so she could appear later as his right man or something if you want,.

Edit:
Ombrare- lol I thought you might be coming to sign up, that's why I said you can have minions as your characters, well people that is but the Avatar considers them minions. And Serena will have someone to play with so you don't have to scrap her Akinai.
And yep sure I think after your SU we might start because there doesn't need to be that many of the Reborn

and sounds good!
 
Name: Andrew Owad
Age: 13. Yes, a tad bit young to be fighting for this cause, but he has a good reason to do so.
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight

Description: He stands at about 5'9, and has a fair skin complexion, palish blue eyes, dark brown hair, and a horrible acne problem. He wears a pair of glasses that have a rounded rectangle shape to them, due to his nearsightedness. He normally wears a gray hoodie with a dark brown T-shirt underneath, blue jeans, and black shoes.

Personality: On the outside, he's fairly cheerful and witty, yet somewhat quirky. He tries to have a humorous remark for nearly any situation, and he's not the best at rendering sarcasm. He tries to be friendly and helpful, and is generally a good person to be around.

But on the inside, it's a completely different story. If he gets upset enough, he can grow angry up to the point where you're questioning if its truly the same person. He has family issues, treats himself as a misfit and an outcast, and starts ranting up to the point of verbal abuse, not holding back in the slightest. No form of insult is too degrading, no choice of words is too articulate, and no volume is too loud.


History: He lived in the rural outskirts of Eterna City, and the moment he reached the age of 10 years, he dedicated himself to knowing almost everything about Pokemon. He researched every known species, and looked into things that people knew little about. Soon, he became one of the most knowledgeable people in his area.

He also took up defeating the Gyms of Sinnoh. His progress was interrupted by his family's move to Sunnyshore, but he had managed to defeat every Gym except for the one in the town he was moving to. He attempted to defeat Volkner, but failed. However, he didn't take it too seriously. In fact, Volkner became a mentor and almost a friend, helping him in his aspiration to defeat the League.

Up until the Avatar murdered him.

This was shattering to Andrew. Volkner's death drove him to his breaking point, and once he found out the identity of the killer, he became utterly obsessed with becoming strong enough to take him down. He trained himself nonstop, until he became one of the best trainers in the area. But he wouldn't stop there. He would not rest until the Avatar was dead. Not imprisoned. Dead.


Pokemon: Infernape, Sceptile, Blastoise, Nidoqueen, and Luxray, his best friend out of the group.



This character was actually based off of me, even up to the team, which is a collection of Pokemon that I used for my Pokemon playthroughs. I'll make the Avatar minion's sign-up in a sec.
 
A bit young but accepted! As long as he's got strong Pokemon then it shouldn't be a problem, so wait you are 13?
