Pokemon Ages
Plot
The year is 2046 and virtual reality gaming has reached it's peak. Handheld gaming devices and home consoles are now things you've only seen in museums or editorials online, but one series has managed to grow and adapt with the times: Pokemon. The world seems to never grow tired of capturing, training, trading, performing, or battling with the adorable monsters which have now been around for over five decades. In celebration of half a century of bringing joy to people of all ages Pokemon is releasing a new game: Pokemon Ages for Nintendo's first VR console, the NR (Nintendo Reality). Ages promises to be a recreation of every monster, region, and memory in a fully immersive environment, in line with technology of the time period. With the first six generations available at launch and the others promised to be added as free updates, you couldn't wait to get your hands on it. Maybe you even participated in the beta. The big day arrives: release day. Maybe you made plans to meet up with your friends in Pallet town and train your starters or maybe you wanted to go shopping in Lumiose city and try on clothes at Boutique Coiture. No matter what you planned to do on your first day in the world of Pokemon you didn't get to accomplish it. After creating your character and listening to the traditional welcome messages given by your chosen professor you are teleported to not a starting town, but a cobblestone plaza floating in the sky along with what seems like every other player. As panic and confusion begins to build a mysterious voice booms over the crowd. "Welcome to my world."
The crowd gasps at the surprise and murmurs erupt among the players, some even yelling it must be a joke or the welcome event. "This," the voice continues with a pause, "is the world I created. This is Pokemon Ages." Cheers erupt as the tension begins to ease; people assuming they're right. "I created this world to be the perfect getaway from the real world." Another round of applause. "In fact, you could say it's a permanent getaway." The voice sounds as if it's smiling, but the crowd doesn't pick up on it. Before you appears a menu with the word Starter at the top and the words Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos appearing as drop down menues. "Before you is where you choose your starter," the voice explained. "You may choose one of the eighteen regional starters in the game or you may choose from a handful of others from each region." Another cheer. Then the voice (almost literally) drops a bomb on the group. "One final note: my comment about this being a permanent getaway from reality; it was serious." Someone in the back of the group starts to laugh. "Until you complete the tasks I will set forth at the end of this, you will not be able to log out of the game." The voice pauses to let the thought sink in. "But," it continued "for those of you who do not possess the skill or drive to complete my challenges, you will also be able to log out after the first ten players complete them." With that feedback echoes across the group and everyone is suddenly aware that the announcements were over.
Hi everyone! I had this idea and really wanted to GM it, but before you read any further I should let y'all know that I have only a basic understanding of PTU from reading the core guide twice as well as having never GMed a game before. I would love to learn how from others in a game of three or four players as well as polishing my understanding of PTU. If that all sounds cool with y'all and if the quit plot blurb got your attention, then onto character creation!
Characters
Feel free to ask questions of me or of the game! We'll be using the most recent playtest rules and the like as well! Please post character sheet links in this thread! I would love to get to know everyone a little better on Skype too so come join me over there with some chatting! Maps will be made with Roll20 unless someone has a better suggestion! This game is going to be very beginner friendly as well! Post your character sheets below and applications are gonna be open until next Saturday (10/8/2016) until 3PM Eastern Time.
Hope y'all enjoy this idea! There is room for every type of player looking for anything: Contests, gym battles, adventure, mystery, legendary pokemon and so much more!
- Characters should be between the ages of thirteen and 100 at player lvl 1.
- Your character name should be your in game name with your characters real world name in the background.
- They do not begin with a Pokemon, but will be given one within the first scene so please make a sheet for the Pokemon what will be your starter. It is allowed to have up to two egg moves learned and will begin at level 5. The list of acceptable starters is below.
- When creating your character please refrain from starting with classes such as Type Ace or Style Expert which, in a MMO sense, will be considered an "Advanced Class".The three research fields from DPDoM are going to be their own classes, but they are also considered advanced classes. Advance classes may be taken starting at level six.
Type Ace and Stat Ace must be an Ace Trainer and meet the other requirements.
Style Expert must have Coordinator.
Jailbreaker must have Basic Balls or Apricorn Balls as well as be a Capture Specialist.
Upgrader must be either a Commander, Hunter, or Roughneck and meet the prerequisites.
Engineer must be a Hobbyist and have Pokebot Training.
There will also only be one Glitch Touched classed trainer if any.
Being BatD Touched will happen through the course of the story if it's gonna happen to a character then those classes open up. - Classes from all the expansions are permitted as well as encouraged for maximum diversity.
- When creating your characters try to keep basic MMO character creation in mind when choosing starting classes.
- Your character begins with $5k and can being with the necessary tools for his/her class/trade (ex. someone with Basic Balls or Apricorn Balls may begin with a Pokeball Tool Box or a Chef may begin with a cooking set) for free as well up to $1000. This means the dowsing rod will cost only $1000.
- You also begin with five free Pokeballs and a PokeDex.
- Simple Weapons may also be purchased for $1000 and upgraded for $1500 to fine as there will be trainer combat.
- Social skills should be based off how your character would be in the real world, as there may be a chance the story will leave the MMO.
- Ed skills should be what your character would have set them as at an MMO character development.
- Characters will look like whatever age they set themselves as. So there could be a 25 year old who looks like a 13 year old and maybe that'll cause issues own the road. Or they could be 25 and look 25. The age on your character sheet is the age your character looks in game while their real world age should be mentioned in their background.
