See ya, GS. Good luck!
A quick update on how I envision this.
I'm going to play a little fast and loose with overall structure - I am normally a very rigid GM with all sorts of rules and stuff, but that's been responsible for several dead games.
I am trusting you guys to be honest with your character sheets. I AM checking every sheet, but I'm not the rules lawyer I once was, and TBH its been a while since I played PTU anyway.
I am also considering a CO-GM to help with certain aspects (ie, encounter gen, NPC conversations, etc.) If you're not sure you want to play a trainer but still want to be involved in something, message me (or Skype).
With no Pokedex, there is no Dex XP (I know.). Instead I will do my best to increase Trainer XP accordingly. Furthermore, once you catch a seventh pokemon, one of your pokemon is teleported to the Repository at Ranger HQ for safekeeping. They can be retrieved at a special Symbol circle that can be found in any settlement or fort.

Question regarding equipment prices, the page detailing changes to items says to reduce Travel Gear prices to 1/100th the listed price. Is that... still in effect? It should be interesting to play without Pokedexes. At the very least, Pokemon Edu might be a little more important!

It should be interesting to play without Pokedexes. At the very least, Pokemon Edu might be a little more important! Yes. For the specific items it lists. And you're always welcome to use a Poke Ed check as a shift action to get some meta knowledge.

Bit close to the wire, I know, but here's Jamie Levine. I apologize if he's a bit OTT or silly, I just like the idea of a ten-year-old sniper. If he wouldn't fit with the tone of the campaign, that's fine, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

What do I do with pokemon that evolve early, like Beedrill? Do I have to start with a Lv. 10 Weedle?

I'm not going to say it was damage, but it was damage.

In the final moments, I present Ruruo Tei-Zen, an ex-pirate from Sylvastre. Worked hard pulling jobs for the greedy merchant caste that moved into his homeland, and originally based in Journey's End, he was actually wealthy enough to live comfortably the rest of his days. Pissed it away living the highest of lifes and kind of regrets it. Maybe. It was -almost- worth it? Listen, don't judge. Now he's trying to find something different, and work his way free of boozing and whoring. Ruruo Tei-Zen

In the final-est moments, I submit Aethus Lionsmane. Second son of a lesser noble family and tired of living in his brothers shadow, he's joining the Galla Rangers in hope of forging his own path. While he's capable with people and good with a sword and shield, he's rather inexperienced in the ways of the world, having grown up in the life of the wealthy. Intended to be a paired app with Robot, but didn't quite have enough time to come up with a shared backstory. Oops. Sheet!A few things left to do on it (namely buying equipment, as I need to find out weapon and shield pricing), but besides that it should be all done (by midnight).

Okay, after some painful effort, Here we are. In my final moments, I bring Edgar Damascus, son of a blacksmith with more power than he knows he has.

Y'all just had to make this more difficult. The list will be up in a bit.

In that case, my absolute last-minute app: Ceartas Dlíagus
Pending GM ruling on Beedrill.

Here we are.
First. I am pleased to announce that Faithless will be acting as assistant GM. Should he post in the IC thread, treat it as you would treat my own posts. Second. Out of the apps I received, I am happy to say that none were incomplete at time of consideration. I encourage every to elaborate on their backstory, where appropriate. Third. I want to say that I honestly liked almost every single app I received. I appreciate the time you took to develop and post them under such fierce constraints. The bad news is, not all of you made it. Its just how things go. The good news is, many of you did, and I'm going to attempt to run a few more characters than I planned. So see below for your team. I am going to get a good night's sleep and get those intro posts in the morning (roughly 8 hours from now.) Again, I'm really sorry guys. I really wish I could run a game with everyone! Team Gold - Brilliant and BelovedEdgar Damascus - the headstrong smith, played by Shieldbearer. Roruo Tei-Zen - the reformed pirate, played by Robot Aethus Lionsmane - the proud knight, played by Anonyman Team Silver - Swift and DecisiveDumani - the Ohtan marksman, played by sandsofazorin Erias Ward - the reborn soul, played by TwilightKiwi Connor Macgregor - the runic alchemist, played by Lockdown

Awesome, thanks for choosing Erias! With Dumani in the party, I'll probably go ahead and drop Backpacker to focus more on the supernatural side of things. I'll take a look at my options when I get home from work. Probably for the best - I find myself trying to wedge the class in to too many characters, I think.

Kiwi, I'll allow revisions to your build for the next 24 hours, or until the mechanics come into play. Don't really see the need to change anything, but I understand. Shining, glorious subforum linkIC threads are live. Though not required, I strongly urge you to send me a Skype Request so I can get a Skype group going. It greatly facilitates communication, cooperation, and activity. I'll be setting that up shortly.
