A feast for Honchcrow Your employer is a certain noble, called Lord Oak. He requests your help in retrieving his kidnapped daughter, Lady Linde, and her smoochum, Kizzy.
The kidnappers left behind a note asking Lord Oak to pay a large amount of ransom money to see his daughter again.
He, on the other hand, decides on another course of action.
That is where you come in.
You're now at the location where Lady Linde has been seen last before she was kidnapped. It's up to you to investigate where they are and bring Lady Linde back!
You're all almost part of a band of mercenaries, called The Erupting Thyplosion. Most if not all of you are new to this and have been given one of the lesser jobs by your soon to be boss, Vincent Fierstar. This is to see if you are up to the task and acts like a kind of test to become full members.
The setting will be medieval, meaning lots of different nobility and such. You, on the other hand, are not nobility. - You start at level 1
- Character age is between 16 and 24
- You have to provide a bit of a background to why your character wants to join the group (the group being the in-game one)
- You also have to say in you background how you got your classes (doesn't have to be long)
- You get a crude weapon of choice
- Every class from Core and Game of Throhs is allowed, as long as you can tell how you got it
- Blessed and Damned will not be used (at the start), so don't count on any of those things yet
- Do Porygon dream of Mareep isn't used, as this doesn't work with the setting
- Your Pokémon begins at level 5, can be any pokémon with the Underdog tag that can evolve 2 times and isn't a pseudo legendary
- Skill backgrounds are allowed, in a 1:1 ratio (i.e. for each skill you increase, one should be lowered
- no egg moves on your starter
- We'll be using the alternate rule on Ground Attacks x Flying Types from page 496 of Core
- We will also use all play tests, inlcuding the new pokédex
- Pokédex aren't a thing, so it won't be used
- pokéballs are usually made from different apricorn. For making things easier, all pokéball exist and can be made using the corresponding edge, they still all cost the same to make.
If there are any more questions, feel free to ask, I probably forgot a few things and I'd rather you ask them Also, closing this because four people is enough for one game

Sounds like a pretty straightforward job. Quick question though. Did you have anything on the setting? Lands and the like? Who the movers and shakers of the realms are? It wouldn't have to be everything, just enough that someone doesn't step outside the vision you have for the world.

It wouldn't have to be everything, just enough that someone doesn't step outside the vision you have for the world. Not really, I'm planning on doing a bit of world building with the players after the first adventure, but if you really want to have a feel about the lands and such, take Game of Thrones, Golarion region from Pathfinder, and more of those things, mix it together, and you're bound to come up with something that looks like it. This means you have about free reign for now, because it'll be the start of much more. To be honest, I'm taking this idea from the Dungeon World rpg, where you create a world after the first session, which I actually very much think is a nice idea.

It's "Poke-eh-Mon," not "Poke-EEE-Man!"

Could I start with a Honedge? Yes, you can it's not a pseudo-legendary and it can evolve 2 more times

This sounds fun. Gives a reason for the character to battle as well as their Pokémon so the battle heavy trainer I made up yesterday could fit with a few adjustments. A few questions that may cause it to be altered further. Would being a member of a minor noble house be alright for our characters? I was thinking low enough on the noble 'rankings' that they're hardly known but they still have a small estate. If not I can easily think of an alternate background such as a a merchant family or something. Linky Link.p.s. character image is WIP so it's not on the sheet yet.

Well, you can do that, but don't let others know you are. Which I don't think will be a problem Now a question from me: How was she able to communicate with the Gallade?

I was thinking that it was a battler and then it gave up battles and learned to speak like TR meowth. Forgot to include it though. (edited in now) Do you want me to change that though? I know that it doesn't fit with all settings.

I think that fits more

Here's Horizon Lily, a character I've been thinking about (and had a name for) for quite a while now. Not sure what pokemon to go for just yet...

Wyomon looks like the table is backwards. Kara is the Martial/Fire and Horizon is the Glamour/Provocateur.

Have you messaged the other two potential players to see if they realize this game is still happening?
Also, next time you open application for a new game, you might want to let people submit their characters first, and then choose among the applications, rather than doing first-come-first-served with people who are merely posting interest. That's how it's generally done, and people were quite confused when you closed apps just a few hours after opening them.

Yeah, sorry about that. It's my first game here and I didn't know how to do it. I'll message them personaly and tell htem to create a character. If that doesn't happen, I'll open it up again and let people make a character...

While you are at it, why don't you join the forum's Skype group if you can? There's a link in the News section.

Update on the team Right now we have: Horizon Lily | Glamour Weaver / Provocateur | Got lost in the Fey Realm, now has permanently transformed into an unworldly child. Uses Fairy Magic to look like a young woman
| Kara Kalisi | Martial Artist / Fire Bringer | Born in nobility, set out to make a name for herself
| Blake Murphy | Shade Caller / Hunter | Wants to use his powers to financialy aid his family |
I think this could be enough for a game and I like that everyone is an elementalist, gives me a lot of ideas for your fellow teammates and the quest you will be sent out to do
