Welcome to Gaia! ::

Setting: The pokemon world map, but with minor tribes and villages for the pokemon that would generally gather in groups (example: kangaskhan). The more rich cities are powered by lightning stones, while the poorer ones use candles and fireplaces and such instead. There are regular animals in this world, but every 'human' is a pokemon gijinka, with their own powers and strengths and weaknesses (that stay true to the pokemon's weakness)

Story: In the world of gijinkas, there are many things to do and see. Gyms, led by powerful gijinkas, are made to test the strength of fighters, so they can prove their worth. However, there are also underground gyms that don't follow the rules or laws of the registered gyms. Despite being a mostly peaceful world, there is a group called Team Rocket, led by the Persian Giovanni. It is an evil organization that makes profits from selling stolen goods, and illegal products, as well as kidnapping young gijinkas and selling them to the highest bidders as slaves. For the most part, currency is run by the barder system.

Your Role: Whatever goal your pokemon have is up to you, but you may not have any more playable characters but three. Feel free to play as any other generic gijinkas and what-not. This is the character form you must fill out. Please post it in the colour you wish to rp as.

Characters:


Name: Cephas (Ceph for short)
Type: Rock/Ground
Pokemon: Larvitar
Appearance: http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f300/RoxyChick2003/DSC00031.jpg (on the left)
Age+Level: 18, level 36
Personality: Calm, collected, heroic, friendly, smooth talker, down to earth, can be a joker, brotherly.
MiniBio: As an egg, just as he'd hatched and begun eating the soil around himself to get free, his parents (tyranitars) were kidnapped by team rocket. He crawled from the ground, wondering if they deserted him. From then on, he raised himself in the mountains, living off of the land (literally), and becoming stronger. When he went to the city, he learned quickly of the bad reputation that Tyranitars had, and grew worrisome. One day, while strolling through a mountain path, he was attacked by a tyranitar, and from then on, he feared ever becoming one. Despite his figthing spirit, he began to avoid fights more and more often, to delay the possibility of evolution. For six years, he resisted evolution, all the while not telling anyone of his fear. Throughout his teens, he's travelled with a female Larvitar named Lamilla(Milly for short) after saving her from a group of Ekans from Team Rocket. He protects her, and treats her like a younger sister.
Other: He enjoys making friends, but can also be a sort of lone wolf sometimes.


Name: Lamilla (Milly)
Type: Rock/Ground
Pokemon: Larvitar
Appearance: http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f300/RoxyChick2003/DSC00031.jpg
Age+Level: 15, level 27
Personality: Shy, kind, bubbly, perserverant, naive, trusting, worry-wart
MiniBio: Born into a caring family, Lamilla went on her own to become stronger. One day, while wandering Ilex forest, she was attacked by a group of Ekans, trying to capture her to sell her as a rare slave in Team Rocket, or hypnotise her to become a team rocket member when she evolved to a Tyranitar. She was almost caught, when Ceph came out of nowhere, and defeated the thugs single-handedly. She travelled with him, and gained a crush on him, hoping he could see her as more than just a little sister. In order to prove herself to him, she wishes to train hard, and evolve into a Tyranitar so that he'll think she's more mature, and maybe even return her feelings.
Other: She's not very good at talking to strangers, and often uses dig to avoid awkward situations.

Name: Ramiel
Type: Electric
Pokemon: Luxray
Appearance: Tall and slender with leonine strength and red and black eyes. His hair is dark blue, spiky and unruly and he's always got bangs covering part of his face. He wears a sort of vest with fabric over the arm to fingerless gloves with a four pointed star on the black in deep blue. Three yellow bands show on each arm under the fabric from the vest. The top half of his pants are black, the black ends in a point at the knee and the rest is dark blue.
Age+Level: 19 yrs and lvl 38
Personality: He absolutely despises being called unoriginal, and strives to be unique as the middle child of several siblings.
MiniBio: He hates feeling trapped in any way, and bores easily which is the reason he left Sunnyshore in Sinnoh. He comes from a pretty well off and huge family, and felt drowned and unoriginal. He likes being a somewhat rare Pokemon in a new region.
Other: Likes music and being spontaneous. Was given a new name by Koli, because he hated the name Ray.

Name: Volkan
Type: Fire
Pokemon: Typhlosion
Appearance: Bluish green hair that is constantly falling in his face with two tufts that stick up like ears. A green-blue overshirt with flame coloured fur around the collar and a beige shirt underneath. Pants are the beige of his undershirt on the inside of the leg, the green blue of his coat on the outside half of the leg. His eyes are a red so dark they're black.
Age+Level: 17 yrs, lvl 40
Personality: Very easily riled and quick to use the flames that come naturally to him.
MiniBio: He lived with his parents and his younger brother until one day his father said he would never make it on his own. He ran away to prove himself by becoming either a Gym Leader or the Champion. His mother and father never really cared for him because he was sort of an accident, but his younger brother (who was planned) adores him, and he grudgingly loves his brother just as much.
Other: He was given his name by Koli because his parents never bothered to.

Name: Koli
Type: Dark
Pokemon: Absol
Appearance: Slender and pretty looking with white hair to his shoulders, though one section of his bangs sticks up and is pitch black. His clothing covers much of his body, from his chin to his boots and are majorly white with some black accents.
Age+Level: 15 yrs, lvl 28
Personality: He tries to be very serious, but he loves life and is intensely curious about things he's never seen before, which is a lot of things. Easily distracted and impulsive, he also has the problem of being blunt. While it's not often, you can sometimes surprise a laugh out of him.
MiniBio: He ran away from his isolationist Absol Village when he learned that he would not likely ever be permitted outside the village walls, leaving his mother and father behind. In his village it is frowned upon to be the least bit different which spurred him to leave because he liked being different.
Other: He named himself and his companions, using the vast amounts of studying history to give them meaningful names.

Name: Eau
Type: Dragon
Pokemon: Dragonair
Appearance: http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m524/MissyRandom2011/89b1bbe1.jpg
Age+Level: 21, Lvl 46
Personality: Hard-working, devoted, sticks by her morals, sometimes aloof or weird
MiniBio: Born as a Dratini in Dragon's Den, she was convinced by her parents to be one thing, a strong fighter. They would never know when they needed to take down Team Rocket grunts. Both her parents were Lvl 100 Dragonites. Eau trained by fighting Magikarps in the water, but she didn't evolve much. She searched for other Pokemon to fight, but barely found any. After several years, she evolved into a Dragonair and thought about trying to find Pokemon outside for her to fight, as her parents allowed her to now. Upon getting outside, she thought how awesome it would be to evolve into a Dragonite, but after fighting a Graveler and losing to it, it gave her an Everstone and gave her a long lecture about how evolving was asinine, and it would be much more rewarding to level up and learn moves without evolving. This was the philosophy she kept to, and the one she wanted to teach others, but she wasn't nearly as eloquent as the Graveler. Giving up, she sat by the river on Route 45, and a really young Phanpy came and tried to headbutt her. He seemed very confused after losing his parents, one who went to a gym and became the leader, and one was lost to Team Rocket, but of course the Phanpy didn't know. He then instantly assumed Eau was his mother, and Eau warmed up to Snorky, deciding to take him under her non-existant wing. They now go around, travelling all over Johto.
Other: She has an Everstone.

Name: Snorky
Type: Ground
Pokemon: Phanpy
Appearance: http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m524/MissyRandom2011/89b1bbe1.jpg
Age+Level: 5, Lvl 8
Personality: Clumsy, doesn't know his own strength, impressionable, in denial of his faults
MiniBio: Snorky's parents had left him, and ever since, he had went around all of the areas on Route 45, trying to find anyone that would be his parents, but instead, he kept getting into battles. This managed to level him up whenever he won, but he kept on losing because of his clumsiness. However, he was very internally strong, as he didn't faint for very long. One day, he found Eau sitting alone, and instantly assumed that she could be a mother figure, as she seemed alone and looking for someone, or at something. He didn't understand the whole idea of not evolving to gain strength, as, now that he found a parent figure, the idea of evolving was now on his mind. Regardless, he found Eau sweet, and decided to join her on her adventures.
Other: He sees Eau as his mother.


Name: Elliot Harvard Graycastle. "Elli"
Type: GHOST BUG BEE-YATCHES
Pokemon: Shedinja
Appearance: An ethereal rendition of his past life. Wears an old brown leather uniform of a pilot. Also wears a cap with ear-flaps, goggles, and a scarf. His face is drawn and pale, and dull straw-colored hair can be seen poking out from under his cap. Bits of his aeroplane's metal skin is stuck to his back, arms, and legs, making him look as if he has oddly-shaped wings. A strange ring of light is always hovering a few inches above his head.
Age+Level: 56 - looks 20. lvl 23
Personality: Slightly isolated, awkward, wise, and with a dark sense of humor.
MiniBio: When Elliot turned twenty he went for his first real flight in one of his father's company's trading vessels - a special aeroplane. One of the maintenance workers was stupid and got a rag caught in the engine, causing Elliot to crash. Since it was not his time, he partially merged with the plane and came back to life. (because magic) Kind of. He cannot be touched by anything physical, and has no sense of feeling at all. He was not shunned by society when he was found, but rather isolated himself in shame and fear. Many years passed and the long time in seclusion taught him many things. At long last he is beginning to open up to the people in the nearby city once again. He me the orphan, Kitty, several years ago. He adopted her and they have been living together ever since.
Other: Meow.


Name: Katherine Graycastle. "Kitty", "Little One"
Type: Poison Flying
Pokemon: Zubat!

Age+Level: Thirteen. lvl 11
Personality: Joyful, bubbly, but shy. Occasionally a little too loud. Prefers dark, quiet places.
MiniBio: Met Elli in the forest behind his house several years ago and was named and adopted by him. She was cared for by someone before then, but has since forgotten who it was. She gives Elli the spontaneity and joy that he has missed since his death and rebirth.

"Kid, I told you not to take a Fighting type on. You know you're weak against those." Ramiel said with a smirk, munching on a berry while he followed behind Volkan, who had Koli slung over his shoulder. They were on their way to the Center, across from the Mart, because the Absol had gotten himself thrashed... again.

"How else am I going to get stronger?" Koli asked sulkily, just barely clinging to consciousness.

"There are easier ways of getting stronger, man. Ones that don't involve killing yourself." the Luxray said, tossing the remains of his berry over his shoulder and beaning one of the Gijinka behind him who had stopped to stare at the Absol and whisper about a calamity.

Volkan cleared a path in front of him by hissing out tongues of flame and glaring, imposing despite not being the biggest Gijinka in the crowd.

Volkan snorted at a Rattata as it scurried out of his way as he walked into the Center, dropping the kid on one of the waiting chairs.

Koli let out a groan, and nearly choked when an Oran Berry was shoved in his mouth by Ramiel, who was scowling at their fiery companion. "Dude, be nicer to the kid he just got his butt handed to him."

"Then he shouldn't be doing stuff like this. Let him suffer for a while, teach him a lesson. And you're so much better." the Typhlosion shot back, smacking Koli hard on the back so he'd stop choking on the Berry.

Koli took a few deep breaths before gulping the Berry down, sitting up a little straighter and feeling a bit better once he'd finished it. He looked at the pair of Gijinka who'd followed them into the Center. "Volkan does not regularly think before he does anything. My apologies."

"...Okay." Koli said, reaching up and picking Primape fur out of his teeth. Bite was a nice attack, it just had drawbacks. Like picking fur out of your teeth for two hours.

"Yo, kid, get up there and tell the nurse why you're an idiot." Volkan growled, kicking Koli's shoe and nodding at the Chansey and Blissey behind the counter.

"Yes, Volkan. I will be back momentarily. Do not fight, we can not afford to be banned from another Center." Koli said, nodding to the Larvitar pair as he turned and shuffled painfully up to the counter.

"Contractions dude! How many times do we have to go over this?! They're your friends!" Ramiel called after him before he turned back to glaring at Volkan but focused on the two Larvitar when he noticed his fight buddy wasn't looking at him, but gazing at the newcomers.

"Who are you?" Volkan growled, customary frown on his face. It wasn't the harshest glare the Typhlosion could give, but it was still pretty intimidating.

"I'm Ramiel, Luxray level 38. This hothead is Volkan, Typhlosion level 40. What brings you in after us scary guys?" Ramiel said with a rather sly crooked smile.

"I'll show you hothead." Volkan hissed, but nodded a greeting at the Larvitar. The larger of the two smirked and released a small wave of heat, which he knew Ramiel hated.

Ramiel reacted like Volkan wanted him to, eyes slitting as he glared at the Fire type and hissed at him, electricity dancing between his fingers.

"Ah. Faux pas on my account. We're Leaguers. It's kinda courtesy to give your level when you walk into a gym. Which is what we should do. Hey kiddo, she dose you with a potion?" Ramiel asked Koli as the boy came back, rubbing his hand across his mouth with a disgusted expression.

"Yes. Those things are absolutely disgusting, I cannot see why they must taste so horrific." the white and black haired Gijinka bemoaned, something dangerously close to a pout on his lips.

"To influence you into not wanting to need them and thus, not fight." Volkan said with a shrug. He'd practically been weaned on the things, and the taste didn't bother him at all. Anything above Super actually tasted pretty good.

"So, I already told you what we're up to. What are you two doing in town?" Ramiel asked.
