I'll start judging tomorrow (when I actually have some time to do so), so in the meantime, if you want to maximize your odds of being picked, here are the criteria I'll be judging by: - Background: Who was this character prior to the attack? What did they do to help the caravan survive? What were their thoughts on the state of the world prior to the attack? How about after?
- Goals: What did the character hope to accomplish prior to the attack? Are their goals still the same? If not, what are they now? Hint: "Survive" is not a goal- it's a day-to-day concern (it may become a goal should things go wrong, but it's not a goal now); when I say "goals," I mean something big. Did your character hope to stop the wandering life by settling down somewhere? Or did they want to find more humans? Those are "goals."
The one exception will be if the goal involves the First Sons in any way; you'll have to be specific in regards to your handling of them- provide the means as well as the end (for example, "My character wants to hide from the First Sons, and he'll do that by roaming the earth, never staying too long in one place, lest they find him; also, he'll avoid large groups to avoid drawing their attention.") - Survivability: This is a tough setting to survive in; the caravan was known to send out explorers to scavenge what could not be hunted or grown in portable growers, and they were always on guard for attacks by carnivorous Pokemon. You'll need to find a way to ensure plentiful supplies of food and water, and to defend yourselves against feral Pokemon; characters more able to do either will have a better chance at survival (and at being picked.)
- Personality: There will be hard choices presented to you, and sacrifices will need to be made. Characters whose personalities are more developed (and thus more likely to provide interesting roleplaying and storytelling opportunities) will be more likely to be picked.
Any questions? Feel free to ask. I'm not a mind reader, so I don't know if you have questions or not; odds are, if you have a question, someone else has it to, so ask away!

So.. we have about 20 hours to edit our sheets a bit goal-wise and personality-wise?

Sheet adjusted.
Worth noting, last goal is at least partially a joke. While library is surely on list of things he'd love to see... It's risky because it contain major assumption (that people forgot meaning of word "Sunday"). That's why it's optional, ok? ^^ If it doesn't match lore, please do tell and I will remove it.

So I was really busy for the last day and didn't get a chance to touch up the goals for both my characters so here we go. This is also on top of what is in their sheets already.
Lyra Renaldi: The only one I was going to add was that she now wanted to explore the Plains to find other groups, preferably nomadic, that could aid them somehow in taking down the son. I was also going to tweak the whole revenge on the sons part as well to specify her ideal plan would to use a smaller quality force to pick away at them where they are weaker to really hurt them. Raid supplies, trick wild Pokemon to attack them, burn down transports, etc.
Noba Kya: I like her goals and actually now that I think about it I don't think I'll change them. A journey of revenge and self growth through the study of the myriad grass types and their ways seems fun and solid.

At long last, the choosing is over. Thank you for bearing with me. You guys did not make it easy for me; several seemed like shoo-ins until compared to others, and others seemed completely unsuited when compared to others, until they were examined more closely. Things got complicated, and unfortunately, not everyone made it in. That being said, if you were not picked, your character(s) and their Pokemon will make a cameo.... as bodies in the aftermath. Hopefully, this makes the threat of the First Sons seem more real to those who survived. But this explanation isn't what you came here for, now is it? The lucky survivors of the attack are: - Esminalda Jones, played by Aureus Lane
- Cloak, played by purrloin
- Reks Trixer, played by alphabehr
- Julia Aaron, played by carnakiArdent
Congratulations to all who were chosen. Build your relationships with each other and the dead characters (more on that later), console those who didn't make it, and get ready. The game will officially begin on July 31st,so save that date!
Again- congratulations to those chosen, and apologies to those who weren't. Maybe next time!

Congrats. I'll enjoy my cameo. Kill a First Son for the rest of us, everyone who got in

I knew it would be that char if I was chosen. I just knew it. Anyway, is there a skype group or anything we can use to make char relations?

Congrats to those who made it in! I'll go stick Phoebe in my "Potential NPC" folder. I also request a First Son's death in payment for my character's death.

Happiness is a dead First Son. Ironically, "First Sons" is a bit of a misnomer, as the attack was led by and included women.

Finally back at home, and pleasant surprise awaits...
So, anyone want to have history of getting healed by Cloak? That's probably best way for him to get well with others. Unless we got other researchers... gonna check other characters soon.

Yay, I'm in! Everybody probably knows Julia as one of the leaders' daughter, or just "that bossy chick" (because, well, she is). I'm game for setting up a room at least for the players, if everybody else is (though I know our GM doesn't Skype).

Does everyone do discord? Anyway, you might know her as difficult to approach botanist girl who knows everything about growing plants. And being fast to annoy and talk a lot to her Pokemon. Chefs and medics might have gotten plants from her for their work. But she would not have said much, and kept it business.
Also, she is a researcher, but not in your branch.
