Post by Goliathus on Aug 8, 2017 13:27:45 GMT
Should have gone through all the sheets today but my additional workload has been too much. I will do the rest tomorrow. seraphflonne 1. The only issue I have with the background is the get lost in the forest part. No way one can be lost in a forest for months unless intentionally(like lichlord's Rem), especially when she knows how to talk to Pokemon, even able to sync her mind with them if she chooses to. Some of the Pokemon are going to be kind-hearted enough to lead her to the exit. Heck, she might meet a fully evolved bird Pokemon who is willing to fly her straight to Keldeo, or at least a nearby city. Even assume she doesn't meet any good-hearted Pokemon, she is bound to meet with a ranger patroling around the area. The second, minor problem is geographical. As she lands in Portwich(all commercial ships land there), the north part of the region, it is impossible for her to land on a forest near Dinsifora, south of the region, without making her way there. Also, the road between cities are paved so innocent civilians can travel by foot around the region without having to deal with wild Pokemon. Without easy access to Pokemon, road safety is a concern so the government just build roads through the region. Trainers will have to intentionally go deeper into the wild if they are searching for wild Pokemon. This means that losing herself in the forest is unlikely even without a map. If you still want to retain that part of the background, you need to think of some way that lure you into the forest. Maybe she got impatient of too much traveling just to get to Dinsifora, so when she almost reach there, she took a gut shot and head into the forest, hoping she can have a straight path to her final destination, rather than following the road that goes around the area. Or maybe some wild Pokemon or whatever lured her into the forest and she got lost by then. Or whatever you have in mind. 2. How much freedom does she has in her region? Is she kind-of-forced-to become a soldier because of her mastery in magic? I see she is wanted to become a soldier, I am curious as to how much they want her, and if she can leave the region willy-nilly or she has to like hide her identity to get away. The original version reads willy-nilly but at the same time, I think a region at war might be more strict in controlling their human resource, especially those that can help in the war. 3. Arcane weapon, what's your take on it? Does the weapon has soul or something? If you have full freedom to fluff it, how would you fluff? lichlord I hope you don't take them as harsh criticism. Most of them are enquiries and they don't mean "your character have problems" but "I want to know more", which is good most of the time because why else would I pick a character that I don't want to know more about? I am also very patient and don't mind you explaining again and again if you are fine with it and think they will help clear up the confusion. I also don't think you have to change a lot of her in terms of mechanics. You just change some part of her background(or re-clarify, if you want) and she can still retain all of her things in terms of mechanics. Like she can retain her botany and medicinal skill, she just probably did not heal human being or have reputation as "a doctor in the forest" among human society around the forest, but that doesn't mean she don't have the medicinal skill to do so. The NQs are to grasp how much the abandonment has changed her and how she is before that. I also would like to know how she would act now so I can get handle on it if I were to choose her for the game. But of course, I respect whatever decision you make. Arcran Fisherman 1. Is he a professional fisherman when young? I read it as he has a different job, retired, and went into fishing as a hobby but I am double-checking. 2. None of the people in his family(especially the younger generations) are trainers, right? Has any of them thought of pursuing the trainer dream? Or do they prefer to see the sport as fans? 3. Where is he from? I mean city, not region. Infynis Jessica Evergreen 1. The character actually plays into the region because the western part, around Cobalion and Aerawatch, has issue with pollution and such due to how much the pace they go H.A.M. on industralization. There's also a part of the region that is famous for their farming industry around there. So that means Irisdew Town would be around the southwest of the region. 2. I would probably say that X-Act is not going down as easily. Assuming it is canon that X-Act is producing all the X-stuffs in the region, then the government definitely would not want them to shut down and might be pulling some strings behind, unless X-Act is not the top company in the industry and there are more. 3. What is she like in school? Did she dig up gossip about her fellow classmates and teachers? Or she is quite normal at school, and only "go journalist" on bad companies? 4. You might have to adjust her weight, which is "4" at the moment and doesn't make sense in neither KG or LB. professorscamander I understand and I wish you eventually find a game where you can snag some mon. @seya 1. In your mind, what Pokemon do Dr.Papa and Littlefeather use? 2. Why pathetic Tech Edu.? How so? 3. OOC: Why no Wingull? 4. Need more detail on the Arabasian region. 5. What's his family financial status be like after he goes back to school once again? Is her wife under any pressure as the only one that support the family and also the Rowan's tuition fee financially? cbeck785 1. The Pokemon School doesn't care about school grade at all. More explanation can be read in the lower part of this part where I added new fluffs and infos. 2. You go to the Special Academy the same time as you go to Terrakion actually. Aside from having to pull double duty, the three years are similar to what a normal Terrakion student would experience. The good thing about this Special Academy is that it is government-sponsored. The government valued these people with special power, even though they are marketed as "monster" to the public, so your special power essentially paid your way through college. 3. You don't need "graduate from college" as a dream because you would have achieved that by the beginning of the game. blackhawk748 Your sheet is private, please make it public.
Additional fluff: Pokemon School - AuditionThere are fives dates of audition, chosen by the PBCA, every year. It can be any day, usually weekend, in October and/or November of a year. The first date is the grandest audition of all, hosted in the capital, Nova Grandis, where representatives of all four schools gather along with majority of the applicants. The remaining four dates take place at each of the four schools. These smaller-sized auditions are hosted for applicants who are unlucky and cannot attend the first auduition for whatever reasons or applicants who can't afford the time or money(most of the time, it's money) to attend the first audition. In these smaller-sized auditions, the other three schools only, aside from the host, send very little staffs for scouting so the chance of one making it is believed to be lower than the first audition. That is not always the case, for some people who already have a preference in school or have pre-picked a school before everything else, then attending the school's audition is a good way to get picked by said school.
As the intro indicates, the admission test thins out the herd. In most years, only 15-20% of the applicants are accepted into any of the school. Yes, this is top percentage Rattata business. Unlike other regions that are more liberal in allowing their citizens to pursuit their trainer dream, Varius believes that it is better to put their human resource into good use and not have thousands of people who are not talented enough for the business to waste their youth in the field pursuing an empty dream.
The audition starts with various random Pokemon-related tasks. It can really be anything, from feeding a rather aggressive Pokemon some food(proper safety measurement are there) to befriending random stranger Pokemon in a room. For instance, there can be a room with 20 Pokemon and 40 applicants. The 40 applicants must befriend any of the Pokemon and partner up with them, the 20 without a partner are immediately failed. These tasks have one objective: to see who among the applicants have the "green thumbs" for Pokemon. The Varius government and PBCA has no interesting in devoting resource to decent trainers, they only want the cream of the crop.
The remaining applicants are then put into more trainer-oriented tasks like commanding some randomly distributed Pokemon to fight against another applicant's Pokemon, how they approach training and so on. This is to gauge if the applicant has what it takes to become a trainer or if he would better suited as a breeder or whatever.
After that, the remaining are put through some knowlege test on Pokemon typing and whatever. Unknown to the applicants, this part is not that important among all the phases. The schools don't mind raw students as knowledge can be taught in school. Those with knowledge, however, are more popular.
After all these tests, the successful applicants are then given freedom to talk to any school they want. Some go for all four schools for security and possible choices on enrollment while some go to the one or two schools they have more interest in. This part is very freeform and how it goes largely depend on how the four schools operate. For instance, Keldeo might ask a dancer to perform his dance or give it a dancing partner and see how they do whereas Terrakion would ask the applicant about his/her personal vision and dream and how he/she wants to see the sport.
The waiting comes after the audition, letter of admission will be sent to successful applicants by the various schools that wanted them in a few weeks of time. Pokemon Battle - Safety MeasurementSports can be dangerous to watch live. In racing sports, there were crushes. In sport with projectile, like hockey and baseball, freak accidents sometime occurred. This is the same for Pokemon sport. Pokemon league all around the world has their own take on safety measurement. Some regions have develop their own mechanical safety barrier with high-end machines, some just expand on their stadium and keep the audience far away from the battle zone. Long time ago in Varius, trainers were asked to train their Pokemon to pull their punches when necessary and to keep all the fighting within the battlefield. If that failed, the referee, mostly elementalists and former full-contact trainers, were there to keep it safe. However, all the measurement were not enough to prevent accidents. The most famous case being the Snorlax Body Slam Incident. It was a S-ranked match so the Pokemon were world-class fighters. In the heat of the moment, the Machamp Vital Throw-ed the opposing Snorlax so hard that it flew straight into the seating, heavily injuring multiple fans and almost killed a few who was not reacting fast enough. Thankfully, the Snorlax was withdrew back to the Pokeball fast enough for it to not be a fatal accident.
Ever since then, Varius has developed their own safety system -- Psychic Pokemon. Psychic Pokemon are very valuable in Varius and are trained every year to become the "stadium guardian", sort of. This also makes the various Psychics the most sought for Elementalists because of their possible role in training these Pokemon. Psychic Pokemon experts, like those who were retired above B ranks and specialized in Psychic types, were also frequently recruited by the PBCA for these tasks.
In all the tournaments, a group of Psychic Pokemon will stationed around the battle zone and coat them with an almost unbreakable wall that seperate the inside and the outside. This assure that whatever horrible things are happening inside, even if it's a combination of sandstorm and hail, will not make their way to the audience outside and the Pokemon are free to unleash everything they can for spectacular matches. The referees are also assisted by these Pokemon as they can channel their power to the referee if the referee is needed to step in to stop something. [OOC: If you have played Pokken, Tekken, or maybe some other fighting games, you should know about the wall. It is essentially the same concept.]
These "guardians" are trained from E-rank to S-rank. So, you will see a lot of the first stage Psychic Pokemon in a E-rank tournament, which are good practice for these Pokemon and the risk is low -- a Charmander's Ember is very unlikely to seriously hurt anyone from a decent distance even if it goes over the wall. In lower-ranked tournaments, the wall can sometime be visible when done by inexperienced guardians. One can see a slight hue of purple around the area. When the guardians were first used, fans thought their TV were acting weirdly with all the purple around the screen. Nowadays, they were very used to it and really, no one care about low-rank tournaments anyway except for the few percentage of hardcore fans. For high level tournament, the barrier is almost invincible and the sight is crystal clear for the audience, be it those who watch it live or at home.
Additional Houserule Moonlight CycleThe wild can be dangerous at night, especially without any source of light. Many trainers take advantage of the few nights of full moon in the middle of the month to go for a night hunt in the wild while some oither trainers prefer the lesser competition in darker nights, especially when they have the tools to spare.
Day 1 & 7 = Almost complete darkness, light source is needed to not suffer from blindness penalty. Day 2 & 6 = Almost the same as the beginning and end of the month but with lower penalties in some situation. Day 3 & 5 = Minor penalty in the dark, but light source is still highly recommended Day 4 = Full moon, the moon shines brightly tonight; the most active night for trainers to be searching for nocturnal and/or Ghost Pokemon

1. Been a fisherman all me life! Well, except tha' time I was on a crab boat in Sinnoh for the winter, but that was just a winter. Does that make me a craberman? So I've been a fisherman all me life, minus one winter!
2. Georgie, that's my youngest grandson, keeps sayin' he wants to be a Trainer, but fortunately his father has a good head on his shoulders and is tryin' to make him get a real job. Suppose that makes me a bad influence, don't it? Rodney says, before a wheezing laugh quickly devolves into a cough.
3. Born and raised in Gulf Town. Tried to get away, travel the world, but it seems I ended up right back where I started. Has a certain neatness to it, don't you think? (Hope you don't mind me making up a city for him to be from, but none of the four we know about really fit. I'm imagining Gulf Town as a relatively small coastal town, and probably more than a bit redneck)

1. In your mind, what Pokemon do Dr.Papa and Littlefeather use? Littlefeather would be 100% flying types (notably Altaria and Togekiss), as Elli's favourite pokemon are flying types. I'd imagine that Dr. Papa would like a slightly more balanced team, but for Rowan's adventure he'd be seeking flying types that Elli would enjoy (though he'd still be after variety in secondary typing).
2. Why pathetic Tech Edu.? How so? I just don't think he would have much experience with technology beyond basic classroom skills. His background is in working with kids, which didn't involve tech. I have it in my head that even video calls would confuse him a bit and he'd be one of those parents that accidentally mutes himself and can't figure out how to undo it. (He's very much influenced by my own father, in that regard!)
3. OOC: Why no Wingull? Have both an OOC and IC reason here... OOC, I absolutely hate Wingull/Pelipper, haha. No real reason beyond my hatred of seagulls... they just freak me out. In Rowan's case, I imagine he's just very used to seeing them and he wouldn't enjoy them much (because seagulls, again, are an eternal pain).
4. Need more detail on the Arabasian region. I've styled Arabasa as a conglomeration of middle eastern/west Asian countries (not one in particular). Very colorful and loose clothing, arid and dry most of the year, more of an emphasis on culture/cuisine/history/arts rather than major technological advancements. It's not a heavily populated region but the landmass is big; most of it is desert or shrub.
5. What's his family financial status be like after he goes back to school once again? Is her wife under any pressure as the only one that support the family and also the Rowan's tuition fee financially? Sariah makes a very good salary from her job. Whitecliff isn't a particularly expensive place to live, and Rowan had quite a bit saved from his working as the caretaker. They're not floating on a sea of money by any means, but Sariah and Elliana would be comfortable. Rowan also spent his student years as Dr. Schofield's research assistant, doing research during some of his home time.

1. The character actually plays into the region because the western part, around Cobalion and Aerawatch, has issue with pollution and such due to how much the pace they go H.A.M. on industralization. There's also a part of the region that is famous for their farming industry around there. So that means Irisdew Town would be around the southwest of the region.
Awesome. I'll swap out the bracketed description for that!
2. I would probably say that X-Act is not going down as easily. Assuming it is canon that X-Act is producing all the X-stuffs in the region, then the government definitely would not want them to shut down and might be pulling some strings behind, unless X-Act is not the top company in the industry and there are more.
They didn't really go down at all. They would have won the case without the media attention, and even with it, there were no charges, despite them being responsible for several deaths. They only had to pay out settlements, which were probably even not a big hit when compared to their profits.
3. What is she like in school? Did she dig up gossip about her fellow classmates and teachers? Or she is quite normal at school, and only "go journalist" on bad companies?
She wasn't a gossip, she's a little too nice for that, but she did write editorials for the school newspaper. Stuff about the school mostly, like, if tuition went up, she'd research why, and what the money was being used for, and make sure the students know about it. Stuff like that.
4. You might have to adjust her weight, which is "4" at the moment and doesn't make sense in neither KG or LB.
4 is her weight class. Anywhere from 111-220 lbs. "It's impolite to ask a girl her weight!"

Goliathus In regards to Celica Abyssus1. Ah, I knew I had forgotten to explain something. That was supposed to be due to her living so close to the south pole. She experiences days and nights on a much longer time frame than people from other regions. A day can last upwards to two weeks in real life in such places so I'd estimate about three Varius days is one Silica day. She's having a hard time adjusting to the time change and hadn't noticed it, and I don't think I ever had her figure it out in it's entirety. As for her geographical problem yeah, I probably need to work on that, unless she could actually stay in the forest all the way to Dinsifora, granted she would take the Pokemon routes not the road, mostly for two reasons. The roads are filled with people and are strange to her due to the more modern materials used in it's make, she's always preferred Pokemon to people before she joined Keldeo because she knows she doesn't understand them, so she avoids the contact with them as much as possible. She made an exception for the people at the school because of her misconceptions about her old school being the best time of her life. The old man being the only exception and that mostly being that she had thought she had been lost for months in the wild trying to get to Dinsifora. Could I have any info on what all kinds of terrain Celica might have to cross to get to Dinsifora? So I can appropriately make her trek about those terrains. 2. She makes it seem more dire than it is in her POV but basically If she refuses the draft she will be harassed, both by the draft officers and the people, for not standing up to protect her country. She already doesn't fit in so saying no to the draft would just make her a pariah, and she wouldn't deal with that. Her magical ability makes her a lesser Noble so while the King could order her to fight for home and country he didn't order anyone simply because most of the region is patriotic and doesn't need an order to join the army as they gladly do it. The reason it was so easy for her to escape the country is also due to her position as nobility, as minor as it is. Simply being nobility gives her privileges the common folk do not have, such as speedier processing for her paperwork and priority for departure. 3. If I had full freedom to fluff it disregarding rules, I would say that Arcane weapons are weapons left behind by Arcanist's of the past. Arcane Weapons therefore would be Arcanists old Soul Bound weapons that they had made when they were alive, having a fragment of their soul still inside them after all this time. Going along with this, An Arcanist can turn a normal item into a Soul Bound Arcane Weapon. While they have to use a normal item to fill it with their soul, once the bond is complete it transforms into a weapon that represents and is their soul. If the item is lost or broken, the Arcanist can bond with another item, but what really happens is they are just summoning their soul from the older item and placing it in a new vessel. However in this case I would say if the item is ever completely destroyed, such as disintegrated from a Hyper Beam or similarly powerful move, it would destroy the soul inside. While this wouldn't be an instant kill to the Arcanist they would need to let their soul mend before they could attach their soul once more, and the pain of their soul being partially destroyed might leave them bedridden. As it is with this way of fluffing. As for what happens if an Arcanist binds their soul to another Arcane Weapon, they would have a strange effect, instead the bound soul inside the weapon would join into theirs and they would have to deal with the lingering soul of the Arcanist that bonded the weapon. That's with the whole disregarding rules thing. Otherwise I would say that Soul Bound weapons have the soul of the Arcanist inside them and Arcane Weapons are the result of ancient alchemy, an art which might have been lost to time.

Post by lichlord on Aug 9, 2017 3:15:38 GMT
Goliathus , It's not so much the criticism was 'harsh', it's that all the clarifications and edits I've already made and the more you've requested just means I have to edit and tweak my original concept (One I made before this thread was put up, I've been waiting to use her in a normal-ish game). Every time I go back to change something, I feel like I'm losing my original idea, and it feels like it'll be something completely different. So doing that, my enthusiasm has been very much deflated about doing this game with that particular character. Not to mention there was some misunderstandings with a couple points and a couple of the things you brought up (Like her scaring the bugs away) I really disagree with and even if I was a gm I'd never find it unreasonable. That's why I said the thing before about us on different wavelengths. It's probably best to keep the idea away from this game, and come up with something else, if I do. I mean, thank you for coming back to clarify and state your thoughts but like I said, every edit just pushes her farther from my original idea I've been itching to use and then all the wind goes out the sails. So I'll just make a new one or just leave it, and let you pick from the ever growing list of characters.

Reposting Bonnie Versa as her backstory and personality is now finished. I tried to wait for another friend who was submitting the middle brother of our trio, but it looks like he's gone mia. A straightforward sort of gal, Bonnie is chipper and hard to keep down. Even when she loses, Bonnie just stands back up and keeps on going. With how confidently she takes each step, you'll probably be surprised to know that she really hasn't thought this whole Pokemon trainer thing out much more than just participating in all of the offered challenges and competitions.

Pandora 1. What sports(you did imply she switch sports) do she play in secondary school? How good is she? 2. How does her family finds out about her dancing talent? Has she been taking dancing classes when she's younger, and/or performed as a youth dancer before retreating from that side and dive into the world of sports? 3. Her parents are not divorced, right? Just in some kind of "I don't really care anymore but we are still husband and wife" stage? 4. What I get is that her mother side of family is pretty controlling and only wants her to pursuit a dancing career? What about his father? Does he care about Yuna at all, or he just visits once in a while because it's kind of a "father's duty" to make? 5. How's her relationship with her mother after the decision? 6. Has her family ever try to covince her to go to Keldeo? Since if she's at there, there is a chance she might still be doing some dancing. headlesskoko 1. What is she like in Cobalion? Tell me something, like how she bond with her schoolmate and wahtever. Or how the view her and what not. Four eventful years, gotta to have something. It could just be me being tired as hell but I have not much to ask on this one. 2. I don't want to double-quote your friend but if you two wants to make up the middle brother as a NPC, feel free to do so if either/both of you get in. blackhawk748 1. I would be interested to know more about Greg than his obsession with Bug type. It's safe to say there are many more who are out there to prove that Bug type is viable. Give me reasons to care more about Greg than those Bug trainers out there. 2. Why pathetic tech edu? Is he too focused on nature to care about tech or something else? Elaborate. MagisterSphinx 1. What's his parents like? Job, parenting approach and so on. 2. From what I read, he seems reluctant in pursuing the career. What will he be if he is free to choose any career, unburdened by anything in the world? And why is his parents' agenda for pushing him down this road? 3. Explain the pathetic Occult edu. Is he afraid of ghost and choose to avoid these stuffs? Or he just simply isn't interested in them? Or he doesn't believe in all these mythical stuff, aside from Ghost Pokemon which factually exists? Or something else? munchyoshi 1. The north side of the region is pretty warm. She would be coming from the south side of the region. 2. So, she is a single mom by 17. Tell me more about this whole thing. Who's the guy, how she meet him and what not. 3. While the schools don't mind older students, how is she with her much younger classmates? How does she deal with the generation gap and what not? How is she percepted by them? 4. She graduated by secondary school on 15. So she has to be attending something when she's 17, what is her attending? If it's a Pokemon school, you will have to elaborate on her return and what not. drallore 1. How in the world did I miss your character on previous post? 2. Has his aura reading ability bother him? I am sure everyone have f***ed up moments in their mind(like "oh I so want to kill her" to all the casual 18SX thoughts)? Does he actively read into the mind of everyone he sees or he prefers to not dwell too much into such chaotic territory unless necessary? 3. How does he deal with people's real thoughts of him? With his aura pulse, it's safe to say that he can see through all the masks. If his best friend secretly hates him, he knows and that can be tough to handle for some people. To clarify, Q2 is more on everyone and Q3 is more on someone's true feeling toward him. (Darn it, after re-reading Aura Pulse and Aura Reader multiple times, I am not sure if he can get such information directly if we follow the book. But for the questions, let's assume he can) 4. Not really an important question but I have to ask, why does he dislike doctor visit? 5. How is he in Virizion? How much does he interfere with people with his ability? And say he has a male friend, and he knows his girlfriend is just using him for money, will he directly tell his friend on that? Or will he at least hint it? Or not intefere at all? Or other approach? Arcran Rodney Tackle 3. And no worry about making up stuff. I specified said players are allowed, even encouraged, to make stuffs up. NQ1. Being an old man and two generation away from most of his classmates, how is he like around them or how are they like around him? Also, how does he feel going back to school after like...40 years? @seya 2. I used to be very stubborn on this but I am trying to be more easy on this, which means you would get a pass normally. However, you did mention he planned to make multiple video calls weekly with his wife, which give me the impression that he is kind of used to these stuffs. Or he is just trying to learn it now? 3. *Cranking up Wingull encouter rate 10 times* NQ1. Is there any flying Pokemon that Elliana dislikes? And let's count Wingull out for this, you have done enough damage to their feelings. NQ2. Being an older student, how is he like with the younger generation around him in school? NQ3. He seems to have very high interest in the badges, why so? A fan of other regions' badge system? Infynis Jessica 3. For the people! Well, has her behavior ever bother the school enough that they sort of treat her unfairly on some occasion? I don't think the school would enjoy a student poking her nose everywhere on how they run their stuffs, especially when everything is not 100% clean!? 4. I would prefer you to be extremely technically and just mark down her weight precisely. "I am a doctor, I am allowed to ask about your weight, even measure them myself!" Marcus NQ1. What's his Elemental Connection type? NQ2. Pathetic occult edu. Does that means he has no interest in the ruins and what not that are in the wild too? seraphflonne 1. Hmm, I never feel like she will be trying to actively avoid people when I read her background. She seems like she is decent with people. Is she sort of xenophobic or just...afraid of people in this new environment? As much as I like your day and night angle, I still don't believe none of the Pokemon refuse to help her or that she never stumbled upon a ranger. Not to mention she has no gear and no expert knowledge(untrained survival) in the wild, so I really don't think she will be able to survive in the forest, alone, with the currently written version of her. I hate to mess with your creative freedom but I am quite stubborn when it comes to this kind of situation. I think a week or two is the most she can last, and that's me being very generous. She probably would have to have some Pokemon help(easy to get as a Channeler. Most Pokemon are jerk but some can be friendly) to survive. And if I can be honest, I don't think this portion - the whole traveling and getting lost - adds a lot into the character compared to other parts, making it simpler would be the way to go IMO(like getting lost for a week and months essentially grant you the same follow-up, except a week is more realistic in my eyes) unless you have ideas to make it more impactful. As for the terrains, I ain't spoiling the whole thing but she surely will be crossing grassland, mountain and forest. 2. What's nobility like in her region? If we are basing this on medieval nobility, then running away as a nobility sounds even tougher because those people know her, who would they let her run away in the time of need? But I guess she can make up a reason. Also, I don't think you covered her nobility, I would need some detail if you are sticking with that. oddeyes 1. What's your take on pathetic Focus? I see Medic as a job that needs focus to do well, ignoring mechnical requirement. One wrong move or slip of concentration can be critical in emegency situation. lichlord I understand. I would say that all points can be arguable, like you can explain to me how you see those things I disagree with. They are not absolute, "you must do that sort of" thing. Of course, this is moot now. And I can totally understand about the detachment from the original concept and I am sorry it has gone this way. I hope you will eventually get a chance to play that character in the future.

She was occasionally told off by a faculty member or two for poking her nose where it doesn't belong, but for the most part, she was getting her information by interviewing staff members, and from publicly available data, so she was never too much of an issue.
4. I would prefer you to be extremely technically and just mark down her weight precisely. "I am a doctor, I am allowed to ask about your weight, even measure them myself!"
"Hmph...fine. I'm 121 pounds..."
Marcus NQ1. What's his Elemental Connection type?
Water. It should say on the Edges tab of the sheet. I didn't put it on the first page because I didn't want to make the row taller.
NQ2. Pathetic occult edu. Does that means he has no interest in the ruins and what not that are in the wild too?
It's more like he didn't take any classes on it, and his "knowledge" on the subject is highly coloured by ghost stories told around the campfire as a kid.

Goliathus In regards to Celica Abyssus1. I'm guessing my brief explanation probably wasn't thorough enough. In her POV she thinks it's been months due to the time difference, while their days and nights are longer in Silica, the months are still the same due to the lunar cycle. So in essence, 3 to 4 normal days have passed in actuality and she thinks it's been about 2 months due to the difference. Sorry about that, I'll try to make it more obvious in her story. and thanks for the terrains! I just didn't want to accidentally shove a desert where there would be no chance for one. And sure, I can write in a few Pokemon helping her, like you said it's not supposed to be that impactful, just how she got from point A to B. As for why she's avoiding people well it's mostly back home she was a pariah of a noble. I'm going to expand upon that since it seems like it certainly needs it. 2. I was going for the French kind of Nobility for the most part. Entitled, and pretty much they get whatever they wish if they can afford it. The king worries more about the country than the people and more about himself than the country. The Nobles first priority is themselves and their own property, which includes land and vassals. In essence most Nobles love the country because their free to do what they want. I'm going to expand on Celica's backstory on the Nobility section, mostly to explain why she doesn't seem to have much power, but to make it clear, it's a Magocracy, simply having magic makes you a noble. As awful a reference as it is, think of Familiar of Zero, if you've....seen or heard of that. Magic is basically everything for Nobility. It makes you better than the commoners and all that. Like I said going to expand on it now that I see all these issues, thanks for putting them out there! I've gone ahead and made the changes, There's a couple of new paragraphs explaining her past and the paragraph about her traveling has been expanded on with the recommendations, I added brief contact with a Ranger, and 2 helpful Pokemon in there as well as explaining how she went from terrain to terrain

RE: Rodney
NQ1. Being an old man and two generation away from most of his classmates, how is he like around them or how are they like around him? Also, how does he feel going back to school after like...40 years? Oh, those young folk are a treat, even if they spend way too much time on their damn PokePhones. I like to think of meself as a mentor, and try to guide these young folk down the best path for their future. Not that it matters, since half of them aren't gonna amount to nothin' in this training game.
And going back to school? They teach so much useless filler now! Back in my day they taught you the three R's (that's Reading, Rriting and Rithmatic), then sent you on your way! All I'm here for is Pokemon Dueling, or whatever the hell the kids call it!
(In reality, I see Rodney giving his classmates a lot of unsolicited advice about completely random things. While it's probably decent advice, it's usually just out of the blue. I'd expect the other students to see him as the kindly, slightly-senile old man in the class. No close friends, but he's probably somewhat along the lines of a class pet)

I'm a newb who doesn't know how to quote peeeeoooooople ; u ; .
I shall pass on the message to seraph regarding the brother.
I wrote down eventful, but they were more generic eventful than anything eye-opening. Like I wrote in the her personality and biography, she learned a lot, especially about losing frequently against, probably, the majority of the student body. In her school information, I mentioned a little that her interests made her an outlier, which would have also made her a target for bullies if she didn't have such a strong personality and if she hadn't gathered others who shared her interests in some way, shape, or form to her side.
Anyways, I tacked on an additional section at the end regarding Bonnie's years at Cobalion. It basically puts everything I wrote into more detail. I did refrain from listing anyone specific, though, as I assume it's a given that Bonnie would have friends she was closer to than others. I just wanted to leave it open so that we can decide on it later. If you would like even more detail, though, um... Ask me, I guess?

blackhawk748 1. I would be interested to know more about Greg than his obsession with Bug type. It's safe to say there are many more who are out there to prove that Bug type is viable. Give me reasons to care more about Greg than those Bug trainers out there. 2. Why pathetic tech edu? Is he too focused on nature to care about tech or something else? Elaborate. 1. Fair, i'll try and add some more, but being a trainer is a pretty big part of who he is, maybe i'll just flesh out why that is. 2. A combination of being all thumbs with tech and not really caring about it. Bugs and Nature are his thing, he'll leave understanding (and fixing) tech to the professionals.
