Interest check: @TerrariaOn3DS, @Luna the Traveller Σ Preamble: Did you ever wonder how it was from the other side of the perspective? Rather than being a human in those dynamics, what if one day you just woke up as a Pokemon? The side that seemingly has little to say in those dynamics? You're about to find out soon enough, in mysterious ways, as you also explore the region of San Pano, a popular tourist destination in the tropics. (Note: It is based on South America, more specifically, my interpretation of it) IC: https://community.playstarbound.com/threads/ic-pokemon-perspective-shift.181070/#post-3398764 Note: Yes, it's pretty much back to the basics here. Think of it as open-ended roleplay. Rules: Pretty much the only obvious ones are no godmodding and the fact Legendaries, Mythicals or Ultra Beasts are not allowed as PCs or in their initial teams. No paragraph length requirements, just make sure there's a viable follow-up. Character Sheet: <Human> Name: Age: Gender: Team (up to 6; though it's an arbitrary limit): Appearance: Personality: Backstory (optional): Extras: <Pokemon> Species: Nature: Level: Ability: Moveset: Current Characters: Michael & Rain : @TerrariaOn3DS Friedrich & Aria : Yours Truly.
Alright, finally able to complete my submissions. You know the pair, my duo from Explorers Of Sky. Team Blu! Name: Michael Gender: Male Personality: Generally goes out of his way to be kind towards those who cannot help themselves, as well as being adventurous, and a little spiteful at times. Cares deeply for his partner. Species: Lucario Nature: Sassy, according to the PMD built in personality quiz. Level: 82 (Though reduced to 1 in the world of this rp, much like going to dungeons like Zero Isle does.) Ability: Both Steadfast (Boosts speed by one level when cross-eyed or cringing/flinching) and Inner Focus (cringe/flinch immunity) Moveset: Force Palm (+1), Metal Claw, Copycat, Aura Sphere Backstory: Considering he's my player mon from PMD EoS, I think the backstory is not necessary to explain. Extras: Uhhhh, I never know what goes here. Really hates Poison status, I guess. And now the partner... Name: Rain Gender: Female Personality: A bit timid, but loves adventure and has a fighters spirit. Nervous sometimes when not around Michael. Species: Vaporeon Nature: Jolly, according to the same personality quiz. Level: 82 (Same reduction to 1 temporarily as Michael) Ability: Water Absorb (Is healed by any kind of water damage) Moves: Quick Attack, Blizzard, Hydro Pump, Muddy Water Backstory: Partner mon for Michael in pmd eos, so again needless to explain what can simply be googled. Extras: Hmm, well, she may be a bit timid, but she does not hold back in mystery dungeons, often sniping enemies with Hydro Pump from across entire rooms for several times their max health in damage, despite knowing that one normal attack would have likely also made them faint.
Precisely, those hidden poison spikes were, and still are, the most common trap tile for me to step on. Luckily they aren't a threat anymore, though...
Might as well put in mine while I wait. But we will still start, even if it'll have to be a 1x1. <Human> Name: Friedrich von Solnichte Age: 26 Gender: Male Team: Alolan Sandslash Appearance: A middle-aged tall man with caramel-brown short, dense hair and shaved to the base beard as of recent. Wears blue trousers, white, slightly damaged on the left sleeve shirt and white undershirt. Also wears dark brown sandals and orange socks with 'Octoberfest' symbols on them. Personality: Quite a honest person, albeit also simple in his world. Seems to be optimistic that his passion won't get taken by ever-growing technology of the world; that is, sketching Grass-type Pokemon. Detests heatwaves with a burning passion, and he has strong dislike on tech optimists. Adores birds and snakes, and likes to discuss about latest Pokewrestling fights - that is, humans or their Pokemon wrestling against Pokemon, until either side gets downed thrice, with humans playing up to two rounds with a limit that they can't face each other and Pokemon playing the rest. Extras: Had built a really strong bond with his Alolan Sandslash, thus, uniquely, it evolved through 'friendship'... well, it's a lie they do, but the Sandshrew did find an Ice Stone and give it to him voluntarily so he could evolve it into Sandslash (or witness it). Is a Divolk (expy of Germany) citizen. <Pokemon> Species: Lanturn (shiny) Nature: Modest Level: 1 Ability: Illuminate (Bright natural flashlight as long as they're in any body of water, thus not drowning on land) Moveset: Brine, Supersonic, Spit Up, Stockpile <Party Pokemon> Name: Aria Species: Alolan Sandslash Nature: Adamant Gender: Female Ability: Snow Cloak (More elusive in snowy weather; the Pokemon with this ability is immune to negative effects of snowstorms and hailstorms) Moves: Metal Claw, Icicle Spear, Hail, Counter
Geh! Always happens every time Human always works. Could be tourist, could be a local trainer, just keep in mind it's based on South America.
I can probably get in a few more thoughts (ain't just tourist designations or rainforests), but that'd be about it for my imagination of that region normally.
Aight. Give or take 1 week, ready or not the IC thread will be up. Shortening to the 'next person joins' if that happens somehow. --- 21.03.2026: Ready or not, I'm going to put the IC in soon!
