oddeyes with Lita Sof, a few questions, some of which were unanswered. What were the two Pokemon she used before? Her parent's pokemon, what species were they? Did they have nicknames? Same questions for any of her own pokemon that she released. Also, what are her parent's names? Her parents are Monica and Jason Ackland. She used her parents pokemon a no nicknamed Persian, and Pidgeot. Later she used 2 other pokemon: an ekans named Queen, and a raticate named named Killer.

shadowblaze94 with Dean Anderson Build: Looks fine to me!
Physical Description: Not a whole lot here, other than "tan" and "average". I'd like to see (heh) more!
Personality: Looks good from what I gathered, though I'm curious how he reacts under pressure.
Background: There's not a lot of backstory aside from how it relates to other significant NPC's. However, within that realm, I like what I see. Plenty of NPC's to work with here.
Goals/Dreams/Obsessions: A worthy goal, though I would like to see more relating to where this came about in his backstory.
RP:Blurb: N/A
Overall: Looks good! I like the plethora of NPC's that can be drawn from, and considering you did this with a bum keyboard kudos are in order! thenotorioussmp with Chase Jackson Build: hay beat me to it. Not sure where you're getting Novice Athletics from, though... Physical Description: Looks fine to me! Personality: Likewise looks good, I think I can work with a fear of ghosts. Oh, yes indeed... Background: I'd like to know his parents' names, and also what kind of pokemon this obscure powerhouse used in stomping Brock. Otherwise, good stuff! Goals/Dreams/Obsessions: I have a hard time reconciling an interest in Legendary Pokemon with pathetic Occult Ed. Can you explain this one to me? RP:Blurb: N/A Overall: A solid app with plenty to work with here, if a few questions.

Alright, going through the list:
Novice Athletics: I took Capture Skills for Athletics when I took the first rank of Advanced Capture Techniques.
Parents Names: Let's go with Samuel and Joyce Jackson.
Trainer's Pokemon: I'm going to go with a Charmeleon, Xatu, and Glaceon. All Pokemon who are weak to Rock or Ground types and so especially significant that they beat Brock's team.
Occult Education: Yeah what you said makes sense. I swapped out Occult Education for Intimidate, as I don't really see Chase as a very intimidating guy.
RP Blurb: Working on it. Probably should be finished tomorrow night at the latest.

I am interested in this campaign and am working on getting my sheet and everything done today. So far, I am leaning towards a Duelist/Ace Trainer with a psyduck.

Zhuravlik Sure thing, I'll let you know once I've reviewed it. thenotorioussmp That's not quite the prompt I asked for, but a pretty good read all the same. How old was Chase when that story took place, and how long ago was it? Also, is there any significance to the Haunter's trainer? I would also like to remind everyone, we have less than 48 hours remaining. If you feel you may need extra time, please let me know, and with enough requests I will extend the deadline. Otherwise, this application process "ends" at 11:59 PM CST on Wednesday. cbeck785 Sounds good, looking forward to seeing it.

Alright...it's Feedback Time! I realize some of these apps may not be finished...but I want to provide what feedback I can, since I may not be very available tomorrow for any last-minute feedback. So here we go! evilzoura666 with Chris Sanders Build: You forgot to downgrade Intimidate, and I'm not crazy about type boosters for starting items, but otherwise it looks fine. Physical Description: Looks fine! Appropriate for a beach bum. Personality: N/A Background: N/A Goals/Dreams/Obsessions: N/A RP:Blurb:N/A Overall: I realize not a lot is here yet, because you're still filling it out, but I wanted to provide what feedback I could! Also, when you say a Dragon-type Eevee, do you mean the Dragon Eeveelution, or a literal Dragon-shifted Eevee? Nocturne with Roman Messer Build: Remember: 5 Basic Balls and a potion for free! Also, looks fine, though I question the need for Train the Reserves so early. XD Physical Description: An apt description. Kid looks like a predator. Reminds me of Killua from HxH. Personality: Interesting, looks good. Background: I like it. Plenty of backstory, if somewhat tragic, and plenty of characters...though you forgot to include Professor Birch in that list. Goals/Dreams/Obsessions: Makes sense, and the one about his parents is quite noble. Although, I don't know why he wouldn't have convinced his grandmother to let him go to Sinnoh or Johto as opposed to the Orange Isles, since they seem to hold greater interest for him... RP:Blurb: Looks good! Very detailed, I like it. Overall: Although I find the motive to go to the Orange Isles a little weak (I realize it's because his Grandmother set the terms), it looks good! Zhuravlik with Aisling Sinclair Build: You didn't downgrade Athletics and Combat. You forgot your free stuff too. Otherwise, looks fine. Physical Description: I know I've seen that creepy picture somewhere before... Either way, physical description is fine. Personality: Looks fine, no real comment here. Background: Looks good, although I would not that people acting differently while in conflict or direct confrontation, like battling, is totally normal and not particularly supernatural. Goals/Dreams/Obsessions: Looks fine, although people might think she's crazy for looking for people with "special powers". Like one of those "truthers". RP:Blurb: Good, although you certainly do not have to put your pokemon in a cage like pets nowadays on flights. Well behaved pokemon are allowed in the cabin, size permitting, and otherwise just in pokeballs is fine. Overall: Where's mah list of type shifts?! Joking, though I didn't see them. All in all, looks good. Raven with Svetlana Dracul Build: Looks good! No comments here.
Physical Description: Looks good! Creepy, yet reserved.
Personality: I'm curious what you mean by "cruel", exactly. Can you elaborate?
Background: I like it!
Goals/Dreams/Obsessions: Simple, and legit.
RP:Blurb: Looks good, although I am curious about her servant. Can you provide some more details?
Overall: Very good. I like it, and it's got much more to work with here. The extra effort in tailoring this character to the setting is very apparent, although I do have some concerns about the depths of Svetlana's "cruelty".
thenotorioussmp The new RP sample looks good, more like what I expected, although you didn't answer the questions I posed about the last one. Llyarden RP sample and all of the characters look good! Making use of Scamp, and all starters, in this prompt is absolutely fine. Helps to give me an idea of how you expect them to behave. shadowblaze94 Looks good. Poor kid's too down on himself. XD Also, don't forget everyone, Skype is a requirement for this game! Make sure you're in the chat.

Here is my first draft for Lisa V'Rulens, a young girl finally free of her hospital bed and trying to cram six years of missed childhood into a single pokemon journey. Her constant exposure to poison pokemon from her chemotherapy regimen has changed her, giving her a deep respect and gratefulness for this under-appreciated type. Unfortunately, that's not the only way her treatment has changed her...

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UXx7TTAr_GU8KMTwP4rp6_uxl6_anF5AJl_uHN9Tzfw/edit?usp=sharingPresenting the Medic/Backpacker, Aayne Merch. Couple of Notes: In Inventory, the two med edu related books aren't 'actually' in his inventory. They are from the base Medic class, but I'd prefer them to be in my sheet somewhere. I don't have the mental will to do a rp example atm, I'll try to see if I can get time tomorrow, but you should have a good idea on how he acts from the blurb stuff.

Like I said, I can't give super detailed feedback on the apps that come in today, but I will try to provide something, as I can. MagisterSphinx with Odran Altus Do keep in mind, his backstory makes him a runaway, with all that entails. You may want to consider adding details on the circumstances under which he left his parents. Also, NPC's. lichlord with Aayne Merch Looks good, though I am curious what exactly he did to help his old man in the backstory. Also, NPC’s. reyemile with Lisa Vi'Rulens (I see what you did there...) An interesting take, but I have a hard time figuring how poison-types would be related to chemotherapy, since that is radiation therapy, not really poison per-say. It's also hard to believe that the doctors would let someone with such obvious, life-altering side effects leave the hospital before they had "cured" her condition, so how did she convince them to let her leave, much less travel? Curious about the answers to these questions. That's all for now.

As I can't really fix the sheet atm, he basically kept his dad and his pokemon healed up/powered up through restoratives. Same thing I'm doing for the party.
As for npcs.... can't really think of any.
Mostly cause we are looking at a person who never stays in one place for more than a few days so it's hard to fit in solid npcs *shrug*

This is my attempt at making a character: David "Dave" OlgerHe's a Hobbyist/Ace Trainer. I'm thinking of going for Researcher later on, taking the Pokémon Caretaking and either General or Apothecary fields. If there are things you'd really like me to work out more, just give me a message

An interesting take, but I have a hard time figuring how poison-types would be related to chemotherapy, since that is radiation therapy, not really poison per-say. It's also hard to believe that the doctors would let someone with such obvious, life-altering side effects leave the hospital before they had "cured" her condition, so how did she convince them to let her leave, much less travel? Curious about the answers to these questions. That's all for now. In order to put a somewhat humorous spin on my situation, I’ve often joked that I was heading to the infusion room to "get poisoned." Then, Cassandra was quoted in the media using the same word — poison. While this is a rather dramatic way to describe the basic chemistry behind chemotherapy, it is not entirely factually incorrect. In order to kill cancer cells, chemotherapy drugs also destroy healthy cells. Translation: These indiscriminate medications wreck havoc on your body, causing many unpleasant side effects throughout the process.Chemotherapy is drugs--basically targeted poisons. They're also a lifesaving treatment that work for a wide variety of diseases. Unfortunately, the "fact" that they are poisonous leads people to try "alternative" treatments and reject medical science. This article--with it's frank description of the unpleasantness of treatment, but also its' positivity and science focus and life focus, is part of the attitude I'm hoping to capture with Lisa. Radiation therapy is something else entirely :-) As for the side effects not being noticed, I presumed it's a combination of Lisa concealing them (she has skill in stealth and guile for that reason) and the changes happening recently, as a delayed reaction. Perhaps her body grew dependent on the chemical medicines and, when they stopped being administered to her, it started to produce its own?
