This is a unique kind of role play... one where I will not necessarily be traveling with you... but guiding you on your journey. This is YOUR story, YOUR adventure. I am only here to provide the means...
What is this?
Welcome, to the personalized pokemon role play forum! Well, not exactly... this forum is where you apply to have me begin a pokemon adventure role play with you! Once accepted, and new forum in the private role plays will be started for your adventure. This is only where information is posted, and characters submitted.
How? What do you mean different?
Well, this is not a role play where I have a character and I travel with you so on and so forth... No, this is a role play where I am the guiding hand. I am the environment, the evil forces, the good guy, the miracles, the tragedies. I AM the world, and you are in it. You may adventure by yourself, or with a few friends (if specified,) it is up to you. I control the happenings, and you control your life. Pick your own region, your own hometown, and I'll take care of the rest!
Okay, sounds fun... how do I enter?
Below, I will have posted a character form for you to fill out! It is simple, and will give me an idea of what starter pokemon to present you with. Based on your character's personality, I will present to you a few different pokemon for you to choose from, about which I will go into more detail. Simply submit the form on this forum, and, if approved, I will let you know and begin a new forum in the privates. See how it works?
Allora, why are you doing this? You're leaving Res!
Yes, yes, I know :( I am leaving Res because I do not have the time to spend raising pets and handling tu. I am, however, a writer and journalism major. Doing this will help me stay creative and on my feet, and therefore I will be active all the time.
Introduction:
Welcome to the (region of your choosing) Region! You have just graduated from your high school, and are preparing to set out on your pokemon journey. This world is much more dangerous than the games have made it out to be... kids do not head out into the world on their own until after graduating from 12 years of schooling, no less. And many of these people do not go on to be trainers, contesters, breeders, or anything to do with the strange creatures called pokemon. Mainly, the average student goes on to the university of their choosing, to get their degrees and, what they would deem 'better,' jobs.
Not you, though. You have decided that you don't want to take the easy way out... you are going to be with pokemon until you die, as companions, partners, and friends. Having decided this, you and several of your classmates after graduation have been ushered into a new room, still in your graduation caps and gowns. You know what is happening: these teachers have been watching you grow for four years, and when you signed up to receive a pokemon after your graduation, they did careful personality analyses and aptitude tests to determine which pokemon would be best for you.
So now you wait, in a room with twelve other students, to discover what awaits you. Suddenly, in front of each of you, a circular pedestal comes up from the floor. On it, you see a sophisticated pokedex, and a pokeball.
Rules:
- No Godmodding. This means that I am the environment, you are not. You may control yourself, and you may control the pokemon in your party ONLY when not in battle. In battles, you may command your pokemon, whilst I decide the chain of events. You may not "find" a path, for example, only search for a path, whilst I decide if there is one to find or not. See how it works?
-Minimum of Two Paragraphs Per Post. Now, I can see how in battle with you giving commands that this rule could be overlooked with reason, but during normal role playing, one sentence posts aren't going to cut it. I am looking for high quality role players to participate in this.
-You are a human, not a pokemon, in this roleplay. Just wanted to make that clear.
-Differentiate between in contect (IC) and out of context (OOC) text! Use double parenthesis ((like this!))
-Suggest things, but only OOC! I am not cruel, and if you eventually want to have a certain pokemon, or to get some kind of powers, or pokemon-like traits, let me know! I'm here to help (and to hinder.) ^^
Application:
The first post you are going to write must be you receiving your pokemon, and calling it out into the room, and your first moments with it (read the introduction above!) It MUST END with you turning on your pokedex, because I will then go through how it is used and what it can do. Then we will be on a roll!
COPY AND PASTE THIS INTO YOUR POST, FILL IT OUT, AND SUBMIT!

ABOUT POKEMON:
In case you didn't read above, I will be giving you a selection of starter pokemon depending on your character's personality and goals. You may pick one of them, nickname it, choose up to 2 egg moves and gender.
1. Pokemon may learn and know an infinite amount of moves!
2. Pokemon sizes in the known pokedex are NOT what we will base this off of! This just means we will be following the ANIME sizes, not the games. No big deal!
3. Only certain pokemon can learn Fly and carry you around! This I will post a list of later on.
4. Only certain pokemon can be ridden like mounts, and even those who CAN be ridden, might be resistant! This will also have a list later on.
5. Same goes with Surf! Only certain pokemon can be ridden on the ocean, so don't get cocky thinking your horsea can drag you across the ocean! ^^
6. There are other ways to train and level up pokemon, aside from battling! If you want your fighting type to practice punching a tree, yeah, it will probably increase its attack. This will depend on the QUALITY OF YOUR POST, and even then, no guarantees. ^^
7. There are other ways to capture pokemon, besides pokeballs! These include befriending pokemon, eggs, receiving them as gifts, or them taking a liking to you based on your actions.

You app is fine! Just a few changes! ^^
1. Hometown means, what town IN Kanto do you live in?
2. Favorite type is your favorite TYPE, not pokemon (fire, water, grass, ect.)
Otherwise it is excellent! Just remember that your starter is chosen based on your personality, and it might not be a vulpix! However, with that as your character's goal, you will most likely come upon one to capture! Edit those things and post that you have edited, and I will create the private RP!

Name: Cassidy Rither Gender: Female Age: 17 Region (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos): Unova Hometown: Virbank City
Appearance (detailed please!): Cassidy has auburn hair that reaches down to her shoulders, a slightly tanned face, and large green eyes. Her normal outfit consists of a bandanna tied around her neck, a long singlet, and poofy cargo shorts, complete with a shoulder bag that always carries a first aid kit. She's far shorter than average, and is of average weight.
Personality: Cassidy is known to most people who meet her as 'that wide eyed, chirpy girl who sped past a few minutes ago, before crashing into a tree.' She's sociable, friendly, outgoing and loud, and yet she's a total tomboy, with her crowning achievement thus far being punched in the face and losing a tooth.
History (detailed please!): Having two older sisters and one younger brother, Cassidy always felt she wasn't really special. With her sisters both taking respectable jobs, Cassidy felt she had to do something different. And so, despite her secretly wanting to become a doctor, she started her pokemon journey at age 17.
((Sorry about history being so short. UmU))
Flaws: She's naive and trusts people far too easily, emotional, and isn't incredibly smart.
Skills: She has basic medical knowledge, and is good with both people, and pokemon.
Favorite Type: Steel/fighting/bug
Least Favorite Type: N/A
Goals by the End of this Role Play: To experience and travel the region for herself, taking every new opportunity along the way. Optionally, she wishes to expand her medical knowledge, and perhaps use it to patch up her pokemon.
Anything Else you Want the GM to Know!: N/A
((AHHHHHH I love this idea so much!))

Tara: app looks good! Only thing I have to say is that the plot these all center around is the characters graduating from high school and receiving their pokemon, because the laws of this universe state that you can't be on your own until graduating secondary school because it is very dangerous. If your character was 17, then this would be fine! Remember to read the introduction, because that will set the scene for your first post on the role play!

((Oops, I'm really sorry about that, it's all fixed now! The reason I'd written down 14 is because I've had thus character in mind for awhile (yet I've never used her), and that was her original age. XD Sorry once again!))

Name: Yancy Alverhime Gender: Male Age: 18 Region : Sinnoh Hometown: Sandgem Town
Appearance (detailed please!): Yancy has orange hair, which he always travels into Jubilife to get cut and he has brown eyes which always seem to look happy. He has a sturdy body, from working on his family's pokemon ranch, so he is quite muscular.
Despite being solid, Yancy loves being stylish and makes his own outfits, or puts together outfits he likes. He always has headphones around his neck so that he can listen to his prize music whenever he wants.
Personality: Yancy has the stocky body of a jock, partly due to natural physique and partly from working on the ranch. He never became super-humanly stocky like the guys that play football. This was due to him never doing sports, but learning his favorite thing: Hairdressing. Yancy is not very violent, but has always loved designing clothes, making them, and giving people haircuts, especially his friends. Yancy is rather gentle, but quite firm in his decisions. He is a pretty happy guy, content to make people look fabulous. He is very friendly and will happily chat you up when he is giving you a make over. Yancy will happily debate subjects with you, and absolutely never loses his temper since he is a rather patient and tolerant guy. He would never hate anyone, until it is proven they hate him. Even then, he tries to make them see the error of hating and disliking people.
History: Yancy grew up in the country on a pokemon ranch. Yancy never got picked on, and was never the most popular kid in school, he was just an average kid. He has always loved hairdressing, and hopes to make it big. However, his parents can't afford for him to live all the way over in Kalos, and so they let him go on an adventure to earn the money to live there.
Flaws: Yancy is very trusting, which makes him easy to manipulate. He is scared of most water pokemon, because he claims they will kill you without a thought.
Skills: Being fabulous at making clothes and hairdressing. You can also count him being pretty strong, but he doesn't go out of his way to try and be strong.
Favorite Type: Electric/Psychic
Least Favorite Type: Water. He is scared of most of them.
Goals by the End of this Role Play: Yancy hopes to get enough money to be able to buy a house in Kalos and work at the Hairdressing boutique in Lumiose City.

Name: Levi Owens
Gender: Male
Age: Seventeen Region: Johto Hometown: Violet City
Appearance: Personality: Getting along with people has never been something Levi was particularly good at. He tends to brush off people he believes are too far below him in intelligence, and in some cases this can even include teachers. While he's non-confrontational and will never outwardly criticize or put down someone, his opinion is still rather obvious. Even people he thinks are intelligent enough to talk to he still tends to be uncooperative towards. Levi will very rarely do something that isn't interesting to him or doesn't provide some sort of benefit or gain to him. He may do something out of pure boredom, provided the effort isn't more taxing than his boredom. He wanted to become a Trainer less out of a love of them and more of a dislike of going the boring and annoying route of college and an ordinary job, even though he'd have little trouble with either. Though he does hold an interest in them more from a scientific standpoint. History: Levi grew up the only child of two busy scientist and was mostly raised by his caretaker. She would often tell him stories involving great trainers and Pokemon, and this would later influence his choice to become a Pokemon trainer, although he would deny ever being seduced by such fanciful tales. Throughout school he was always top student without much effort. His natural intelligence as well as his attitude meant most students disliked him and left him alone, and the few that would try to make friends with him would be brushed off and pushed away. When he was fourteen, he was attacked by an Arbok and bitten in his right shoulder, leaving him bedridden with heavily infected wounds and sickness from the poison. Because of this, he greatly dislikes Poison Pokemon and distrusts them. Though the damage has healed, he has puncture scars and will occasionally experience pain or stiffness, especially when exhausted.
Flaws: Arrogant. Stubborn/Uncooperative. Easily Bored. Physically Weak.
Skills: High Intelligence. Very Knowledgeable About Various Topics (Technology, Cooking, Medicine, Pokemon subjects, etc.) Sketch Artist, though rarely used. Nimble Fingers for precise tasks such as sewing.
Favorite Type: Electric. He considers them the strongest and most useful Pokemon due to their affinity with lightning and their ability to easily power human technology.
Least Favorite Type: Poison.
Goals by the End of this Role Play: o Complete his Pokedex o Capture a Shiny Pokemon o Discover something interesting or useful about Pokemon Anything Else you Want the GM to Know!:

Bounds in like an angry sock puppet
Name: Spencer McKenzie Gender: female Age: 18 Region: Hoenn Hometown: Fortree City
Appearance: Spencer is of average weight but is tall - about 6'2". Her long, raven-dark hair is usually in a braided ponytail, keeping it out of her gray-blue eyes. As far as skin features, she's usually got a light tan marked with freckles along her face, arms, and shoulders.
Though not the outwardly girly type, Spencer loves simple necklaces, bracelets, and earrings. Her favorite bracelet (and the one worn most often!) is a simple two-tone leather band tied across her left wrist.
Spencer adores bright colors such as yellows and pinks, though she prefers blue denim for pants. In summer, the long jeans shrink to mid-thigh length shorts and her shirts lose their sleeves.
Personality: While not entirely a socialite, Spencer is very amicable. It's difficult to ruffle her feathers, and she sees getting to know people as an "opportunistic challenge." She's very light-hearted most of the time and absolutely adores living things. However, Spencer will get moody from time to time and is quite a klutz off the battlefield.
History: Growing up in Fortree, Spencer always looked up to Winona, despite her parents' disapproval. Her brother, having graduated from a renowned university and landing a job as a data analyst, persuaded her to takethe opposite route. She grew fond of the creatures he was often around, and this combined with the childhood idolization of her local gym leader set her on the path of owning her own gym one day.
While her parents tried everything in their power to prevent her from her decision, she turned in the necessary paperwork without their consent, forging their signatures when needed.
Flaws: Lies, klutzy, headstrong, stubborn, isn't great at math, and can be quite obnoxious.
Skills: Friendly (is that a skill?), logical but knows when to trust instincts, laid-back.
Favorite Type: Flying
Least Favorite Type: Bug
Goals by the End of this Role Play: Be a Gym Leader Travel? Travel is quite secondary.

Name: Gabriel Marquis
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Region (Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos): Kalos
Hometown: Lumiose City
Appearance (detailed please!): Gabriel is a tall, lanky, unimpressive-looking fellow. He appears as though he'd be unable to hold his own in a fight and his sheer willpower is what has gotten him as far as he's gotten. He has short, wavy brown hair and bright green eyes that compliment is olive skin tone. He stands at over six-foot-seven and often resorts to standing awkwardly in a manner that usually just makes him look gangly.
His face makes him look younger than he is, not yet free of the 'baby fat' stage.His eyes are often wide and inquisitive, curious about the world around him. He also has a few freckles across the bridge of his nose and his shoulders that seem to multiply when he's out in the sun too long.
Normally he wears nice things, like long-sleeve shirts with a sweatervest or something. His basic attire choices practically scream 'dork' or 'nerd', minus the fact that he actually has no need for glasses.
Personality: Curious and intelligent, Gabriel pays close attention tot he world around him. He wants to know more about it and wants to know more about pokemon as an extension of that. They are fascinating and have attracted his attention for many, many years, sicne he was but a small boy.
History (detailed please!): Gabriel has led a rather uneventful life for the most part, minus getting into a small bit of a scuffle with a wild lillipup that had been released a couple years prior. HE came out unharmed mostly, but from that day on he's been fascinated by Pokemon and has wanted to know as much about them as possible and vowed that once he was able to he would actively go out into the world of Pokemon to watch them in their natural environments. It's been an itch he just can't scratch.
Flaws: Physically weak, slight asthma issues, not a whole lot of stamina, can sometimes be brought to tears a little too easily
Skills: He analyzes situations thoroughly before acting upon them and can retain information exceptionally well. Says he has a photographic memory.
Favorite Type: Fire. They're warm tot he touch usually and he gets cold easily uvu
Least Favorite Type: Ice :C
Goals by the End of this Role Play: He wants to become stronger and to know as much as he possibly can about the pokemon he's come into contact with. Oh, and to make friends. H doesn't have very many and he wouldn't mind if all his friends were just his party pokemon. He gets lonely sometimes.

Name:
Arashi Zadkiel. Gender:
Male. Age: 17. Region
(Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos): Johto. Hometown: Violet
City.
Appearance
(detailed please!): Arashi is tall for his age and slightly lanky,
caught in an adolescent lapse in his appearance's grace precipitated
by growth. His eyes are a rich purple hue, and peer through
rectangular specs with a thin black frame. His hair is a paler, more
airy purple, and he wears it long – most often in a ponytail or a
bunch. When this hair is not tied back, it reaches down to the small of his back. Some of his hair has a tendency to hang down at
either side of his face, framing it and encroaching on it at the same
time, usually only reaching around his chin's level before it is cut.
Most often, he wears an inquisitive or an amused ex pression,
favouring lazy smiles and raised eyebrows. He prefers to wear blue or
green, and his favourite Totodile-blue hoodie bears a symbol representing stormy
weather. (http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2011/254/2/8/for_woodwings_by_lisacat89-d49jc2z.png) He also favours kid leather gloves in soft purple.
Personality:
For the most part, Arashi is fairly laid back, preferring to observe
the situation before he speaks up or changes variables, but he has a
fondness for irreverence. He has a breezy lack of regard for
arbitrary authority, and simply refuses to respect on demand. If he
believes that the suggestions of an authority figure are reasonable,
he is likely to go along with them, but he reserves respect for those
he believes have earned it. With Arashi, no obedience is automatic
save when the situation is perilous or it is so obvious as to become
routine. Arashi is also more comfortable interacting with Pokemon
than other humans whom he doesn't know, as he believes Pokemon to be,
on the whole, more honest. He loves to learn new things about the
creatures who fascinate him the most, particularly Psychic types. He
is considering the potential in becoming a Professor or a Breeder in
the future, and believes that he must have extensive first-hand
knowledge and understanding out 'in the field' in order to accomplish
this goal. Thus, he isn't interested in placing first in any leagues,
but is likely to compete anyway. Occasionally prone to silly moods
and flights of fancy, Arashi may sometimes attempt to approach
situations in unconventional manners, and he wishes to cultivate a
reputation as an eccentric. He is not quick to anger, preferring
plotting to yelling in someone's face, but he never forgets an
insult. He also has an interesting sense of morals, and sees no
problem with vigilante action if he deems it required. His alignment,
therefore, I describe as Chaotic Good verging on Chaotic Neutral. Oh,
and he dislikes the colour crimson to a slightly irrational degree.
History
(detailed please!): Arashi is the only son of a prestigious Breeder
couple, who enlisted the aid of their Pokemon in bringing him up.
Thus, from an early age, Arashi had both a fascination and a fondness
for the creatures, referring to many of them as though they were
family members. One notable example of this being his father's
Espeon, 'Uncle' Isaac, who often minded him as a baby. Having no
siblings or nearby neighbours, Arashi grew up playing with young
Pokemon. One of his first chores was helping to prepare food for the
Pokemon, and he gradually learnt how best to cater for each taste. As
he became older, he also grew more involved in caring for the sick,
and in lulling distressed Pokemon to sleep. He isn't a qualified
healer, but he has a good basic knowledge and understanding of how to
care for unwell individuals prior to getting a professional.
Arashi and
his family originally lived in Kanto, on the outskirts of Lavender
Town, but the rate of Team Rocket related crime increased too much
for them to view it as a safe haven. By the time Arashi was six, they
were trying to rob the Breeding Farm on a semi-regular basis, and had
managed to abscond with some of the young Pokemon Arashi viewed as
siblings. Perturbed and discouraged, Arashi's family pulled up their
roots and moved to Johto, settling in the forest around Violet City.
There, they felt they could hide in safety, maintaining contact with
those who required their service through the relatively trustworthy
Sages of Sprout Tower.
Flaws:
Arashi has a slight tendency to intellectual snobbery, which
expresses itself in terms of his inordinate fondness for using long
words whenever he thinks he has sufficient excuse, wearing glasses
that have no true lenses in order to emphasise his intelligence, and
having a lower opinion (though not usually contempt) of those he
perceives as stupid. He also has the rather naïve view that Pokemon
should be more easily trusted than humans, which speaks of an
idealism not quite shed. Additionally, Arashi is somewhat paranoid,
and prefers to be as prepared as he possibly can, often taking a leaf
out of whichever books he's currently reading. In the case of the
start of his journey, this means the inclusion of rope and a length
of steel pipe in his belongings, for reasons best known to himself,
along with the usual provisions and a set of night-vision goggles. He also has less than ideal social skills when interacting with humans.
Skills:
Cookery, reading Pokemon body language and voice tone, Singing (bass), caring for
the sick and injured.
Favourite
Type: Psychic, Ghost.
Least
Favourite Type: Fire (because he has long, flammable hair).
Goals by
the End of this Role Play: Well, I would quite like to have had some
interaction with Mewtwo, as he's my favourite character and Pokemon,
but Arashi has no interest in catching him. He's more likely to see
him as a colleague and potential partner in study and vigilante
action. Honestly, he's dotty enough to ignore the risk in trying to
associate with a powerful and unknown Pokemon, where he would be more
wary of, say, a Gym Leader.
Anything
Else you Want the GM to Know!:
Arashi has a grudge against Team Rocket which may develop into a
vendetta, given the opportunity. He is also very interested in
Pokemon behaviour and genetics.
Gneiss, but not taken for granite~
