Silent tears: Red sky in Johto [PG-13] (t3h sign-ups)

JohtoBlaziken

I dunno lol
Well, this is my first post on the RPG board, as well as this being my first RPG. I do believe I am a fairly good author, so I don't think I'll do too bad. Here we go!

~~~

A crimson sky adorns the horizon, and hopelessness nestles itself among the unfortunate people of Ecruteak city. The people are very fearful as they watch an army of shadows march ever closer to the forsaken city.

"thump"

Many boots stomp in unison towards to city.

"thump"

Closer, and closer, the many boots come. A better distinction of their bodies becomes clear, and more figures than originally thought are seen.

"thump"

The strangers are approaching the gates now, and appear to be fitted each with black. All of a sudden, the army halts. A muffled scream lets out from behind a house. The figures look towards the origin of the noise silently, but do not yet make any action. The little girl who made the scream looks where the army was, but there was nothing there.

Puzzled, the girl turned to her mom behind her, but where her mom was, the figures loomed. Breaking the silence, she let out an ear-splitting scream. Knocked unconscious before any other unnescessary noise could be made, she was dragged into the gym.

Quick and silently, they struck. Before long, most all of the people in town were taken hostage in the gym. In the gym, there were signs of a struggle, but none of the hostages were severely injured.

Outside, darkness threatened the sun and quietly spread over the sky. Doom was nigh for this poor town, and eventually, hostages were to be killed.

The dark figures were Team Rocket. Officials previously thought they were disbanded after some incidents in Kanto, but it appears they came back with a vengeance. All over Johto, towns have been taken hostage, with any attempts to escape resulting in death. Because of the situation, Azalea town, Cherrygrove city, New bark town, Blackthorn city, and Cianwood city do not know about these incidents. These are the towns to be targeted next though, so they will find out soon enough. The only hope now rests on the fate of the few hostages that managed to escape their doom. Rushing towards some of the cities that have not been targeted, the fate on Johto lies with them.

Team Rocket is now fiercer than ever, having raided shipments of exotic Pokemon from Hoenn and Shinou, as well as obtaining weapons, getting genetically-altered Pokemon from their island labs, and getting more members than ever. Their new leader is almost never seen with his soldiers, but he wears a long, black trenchcoat whenever he is seen. This guise is chosen to keep his identity secretive, as well as to intimidate all others. In his hands, Team Rocket is virtually unstoppable...


***

A dark, hooded figure watches over the town from a cliff. He puts the hood down, and reveals the stern face of a fourteen year-old who has experienced much loss. His reddish brown eyes stare off into space, and his dark brown hair flows with a passing breeze. Parts of his head are obscured by his hair, growing in all directions without care. An eerie frown just makes his caucasian face look even more intimidating. He's fairly slim from the neck down, and sports long, stalky legs built for running. A typical Rocket uniform covers his body, save for the cap. A black, long-sleeved shirt with a red "R" insignia, long, black pants with grey-tinted boots, and a belt for his Poke'balls, one currently, describes the teenager more precisely.

His arms crossed, he knew he would make the people pay. He would make them pay for what they had done to him. His name was Katashi. According to his grandfather, the name meant firmness in the olden language. In team Rocket, he was assigned as a spy to keep any outside visitors from peering into the Rockets' business. For now, his assignment was to steer any new trainers away from the captured cities.

"...And so...it has begun....," he muttered to himself as he shed a silent tear. With that, he began towards Cherrygrove city.

~~~~~

Yeah, I know that was kind of short for a first post, but I believe it explained all you people need to know without going into too much detail. I hope this is an interesting-enough RPG for some of you.

I need some starting trainers from New Bark town, some members of Team Rocket, and some escaped hostages. I think I'll need nine sign-ups total.

t3H Sign-up forms (example below)

Name: Yadda yadda

Age: 2772828

Gender: Male

Description: Yadda tadda what he looks like yadda

Personality: yadda yadda what he's like

History: Yadda yadda his history

Status: Escapee (or Rocket grunt, or Starting trainer, or other if approved)

Pokemon: Blinker (Female Flaaffy)

Other: yadda yadda anything else you want to say yadda


My Sign-up:

Name: Katashi

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Description: See first part of story

Personality: A very stern person, he seems to take everything way too seriously, but there can be times when he opens up to others. He's usually very dedicated to the task at hand, and will pursue his objectives no matter what; EVEN if it means killing. Constantly, he is trying to avenge his mother by whatever means nescessary, but will stop when realizing his wrong. He is silent about matters unless needed to speak, even when under cover.

History: A young boy from Cherrygrove city, he lived a carefree life for a long while. He believed his life was perfect, with his mom, dad, and sister constantly playing with him, caring for him, keeping him happy, and more. His family meant the world to him, and his parents knew it would be hard for him to let go, even when they died naturally. One day, his parents had to go on a business trip to Kanto. He begged for them not to go, as his sister was over at New Bark town. He consistently begged and pleaded, but to no avail. They went on the trip, and the plane they went on crashed into the ocean. His sanity twisted itself up with the loss of his beloved parents, and his mind went along with it. He lost all knowledge or thought of anything but mourning his loss. Eventually, his mind made him come to believe it was a person that did it, and that he could make them suffer to regain his parents. With that, he found his sister, and killed her in a rage. He wasn't satisfied then though, and ran around the town in a psychotic fashion. A nearby mental hospital took him in and solved the problem of his sanity, but his mind still believed he had to find the one guilty of the offense. Thinking that, he joined Team Rocket as they planned to make Johto suffer.

Status: Rocket Grunt

Pokemon: Inferno (Male Quilava)

Other: Because of the plane incident, he is fearful of motorized vehicles. That is a reason why he was assigned as a spy, to keep his psychotic nature from revealing itself. Along with that, he will go into a frenzy if he sees certain things related to his parents' death.

The one rule I have with sign-ups is that you don't use a character from a Pokemon game as your character- with or without a different name.

The RPG takes place when Gold/Silver starts, but it is a completely alternate occurance from there.

NO BUNNYING! >__<;; Unless, you and that person pm each other and have permission, no. Period.

I hope this is a good RPG. ^_^

Edit: Oh yeah! Could you please also show a few examples of you posting in RPG's? It would be nice to know the quality of your writing.

OMFG Edit: LSU's accepted now! Keep on!

Lady Myuu's Opposite
Interesting...

Name: Alexander Darkthunder

Age: 31

Gender: Male

Description: Alexander is known to always wear the Rocket uniform, which he has modified some himself. He wear a long black trenchcoat, much like his boss, but his is also adorned with streaks of grey down the sides that go like thunderbolts. Some places, they meet and form Rs. He wear black gloves, with Rs, a black cap (guess decoration) and solid black mountainboots. He has dark brown hair that gues past his neck and grey, cold eyes. In his coat's inner pockets hangs his two handuns; one with sleeping injections and one with bullets. He never shows them unless needed.

Personality: Alexander has a personality which fits his eyes. He is ruthless, cold and loyal to Team Rocket till his death. He fights showing no mercy or humanity in his position as leader of one of the attack squad and is therefore perfect for Team Rocket. He likes control and system and hates when things doesn't go as planned. You want to worry when he smiles, as he rarely show any emotions except anger or evil mirth.

History: Alexander was born in a small village outside of Violet, but lost both his parents in an earthquake. Noone would ever take him and he was placed in a foster home, who just had him for the money and didn't care. His loneliness made him hard and cold and he became a dangerous Trainer when he got his Pokemon, with a record of Pokemon theft, bank-robberies, swindling and other crimes.. TR contacted him and he joined them, because of their hard judgement on this weak world. He rose quickly in the ranks and reached his current position a half year ago.

Status: Rocket Attack Team Squad Leader (RATSL) and Gunmaster.

Pokemon: Pain (Mightyena), Sorrow (Haunter), Death (Scyther).

Other: Yes, I know he's cliche-y, (and, after reading your SU, he is a it like yours (purely coincidental)) but he fits.

Lemurian: Acceptamundo! Nice character too. I was beginning to think that because I've never Rp'ed here, nobody would join. Clearly, I was just an impatient person at the time.

Yay for your character! :p

Edit a minute later: Oh yeah! I forgot to add something to the first post. This RPG takes place where the normal game of Gold/Silver starts, but it's kind of a completely alternate occurance from there. One more thing: Please people, don't make your character a character that was in a Pokemon game- even if it has a different name or not.

TheTurquoiseTauros!: I believe I will say yes, but could I ask something? I don't mean this in an offensive way, but could you try to look over your run-on sentences and spelling errors? I use Wiktionary for spell-check. Simplest for me. So, yes, but preview your post to look for things like punctuation errors.

I'm sorry if that sounded offensive, so please forgive me.

By the way, are you new at this? I've looked through your posts a few pages to try and find an example of you being in an RPG, but I can't seem to find anything.

Name: Sephiroth

Age: 23

Gender: Male

Description: He wears a long shirt which forms into a capelet at the end. He also wears black pants and a belt. He has long silver hair coming down to about his hips tied up in a pony tail at the end. He has icy blue eyes symbolizing his cold and icy personality.He uses his sword only for intimidation purposes unless the opponent has one, that would be the only time he fights with it. He has the red 'R' on his gloves.[just imagine them<_<]

Personality: He is very honorable dispite the work that he does. Though he looks mean, and sometimes can be brutal, dont get me wrong, he can be nice and compassionate. Though he hates what Team Rocket is doing now, since he joined them when they were just criminals and under the leadership of Giovanni, His alliance with them is wavering. Sometimes he asks himself if what he is doing is right.

History: Sephiroth joined team rocket when he was 17 when Giovanni's rule over it was coming to an end. He enjoyed what he was doing because he was gaining and no one was getting harmed. when he was 19 and Giovani some how was relived of power and someone else came in was when he kept more watch on things. Slowly things started to change and members starting to dissapear. He wondered when he would dissapear like the rest but at 22 he was promoted to Admin soon after. When he slept he kept having nightmares of when he was a child and had a run in with the ledgenday dog Raikou which had gave him a scar across his chest. This kept pushing him further to almost quitting seeing as Raikou was trying to tell him something. Finally after invading Ecruteak City he found out what his dreams were telling him, but it was too late to back out now, or so he thought.........

Status: Rocket Admin

Pokemon:
Crobat: Crobat is Sephiroths Power Striker for his team, with its good attack and speed and able to inflict Ailments upon opponents. This was his starter from team rocket and remains very loyal to Sephiroth.

Houndoom: Houndoom is Sephiroths powerhouse, using attacks like flame thrower and Crunch to easily seize victory. Houndoom was his second pokemon, caught as a houndour, and remains loyal to him as Crobat.

Other: An Admin of Team Rocket and will drop out of them shortly into the Rp.

NOTE: if you dont like this character or would not want him to be accepted, I have plenty of backups I have been in many Rp's not just here but else where so I have like 7 or more char.'s :p

Kaim Fubuyashi: YAAAAAAAY! Another person! Accepted. One thing though: Sephiroth is an odd name for a person, are you taking that from FF7 (or does it mean something in Japanese that I didn't feel like looking up)?

Great! Now, we need Starting trainers and escapees, though someone can be a Rocket if they want.

Raposa Dalua

<-Awesomeness
Kaim- You do realize you named your character after a madman, right?

Name: Sangue

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Description: Sangue stands at about five foot three, is pretty thin, and has a fair complexion. To describe her as lithe and agile would be doing an injustice to her figure and abilities. She has short, shiny black hair that hangs down to mid-cheek; it has odd, midnight blue tones to it as opposed to the normal white sheen that accompanies black hair as silky as hers. Her eyes are a deep, blood red color that hold a constant spark of mischief, and her slightly fanged smile only confirms the fear people have that she is probably up to something. Her fingernails are a bit longer and a bit sharper than most human nails, and are actually quite sturdy.

Her attire is... revealing, to put it politely. She wears a red tube top that would be more accurately described as a piece of fabric. That is, stretchy, form fitting fabric that wraps around under her arms at it's highest and ends just slightly below the area where her stomach begins. This is (barely) concealed under a black leather jacket that hangs down to her waist, usually unzipped. Covering her from the waist down is a jean skirt that reaches just below mid-thigh; chain belts of various shapes, sizes, and looseness drape over it. Covering her feet are a pair of short black boots completely lacking in heels of any kind. In contrast with her jacket, these boots are made of a rather fuzzy leather and contain no sheen whatsoever. Why doesn't her clothing have any Rocket insignia, might you ask? Well, nobody has the nerve to try and make her wear some.

Personality: Sangue is a hyperactive maniac with a bloodlust. She has nothing against stealing for the sake of living, killing for the sake of fun, and fighting for the hell of it. She's annoying, overconfident, haughty, and really just doesn't care what other people think about her. Sangue is sarcastic to a fault, and has a love for teasing others. Her insulting attitude can make just about anybody furious at her, and she has no problems with that. Not to mention that she can be rather blunt with her emotions, and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Combine this with a complete lack of tact and recognition of other people's feelings, and you can see just how easy it is to hate her. It is rare to see her feel guilty or try to help others, but there are just some times when she feels she'd rather befriend someone than kill them. This process is completely random. There are points where it will seem like Sangue has a very large amount of patience, and there will be other times where her fuse will snap almost immediately. It depends entirely on the situation and the people involved.

History: Sangue was born into an entirely Rocket family, right from the very beginning. Both of her parents, as well as a few of thier closer relatives, had been with Team Rocket for a long time. So, of course, it was naturally assumed that she would be a Rocket too. She was trained to be the perfect girl for the job; trained in strength, agility, stealth, strategy... This left a few side effects in her, however. When a person is trained to do nothing but bad things, this person will naturally assume that everything normally right is wrong, and vice versa. Sadness, anger, depression, anguish, these are all good things. Happiness, kindness, loyalty... these are bad things. They shouldn't happen. It was only natural to her that things that cause her to feel these bad emotions should be eliminated. Her parents had to go. Grandparents, aunts, uncles? All gone. Friends? Well, she never really had any of those...

Victories on both the battle field, in the thieving business, and in the ease in which she killed others brought her a fearful respect, as well as many promotions. However, Sangue knew instantly that remaining a grunt in the leagues would give her more freedom. Being lower in rank, yet still highly respected actually gave her more time in which she could to as she pleased. It also placed her in the lower barracks with less protection, and she enjoyed the "danger" each night brought. Perhaps some new recruit thought they could destroy her, maybe try and take her place? A slit throat would remind them not to try it again. Not that they could.

The attacks on Johto have Sangue plotting away far more than she usually does. Oh, she could have some fun with this particular mission. And it all starts with that special little creature she stole from the laboratory...

Status: Rocket Grunt

Pokemon:

Rokitsu- Gyarados, Male
Locke- Growlithe, Male
Celes- Sneasel, Female
Horun- Umbreon, Male

Other: Nope.


Name: Karasute Mendelle

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Description: Karasute is around six feet in height, and isn't too skinny or too large. Rather, she seems to have found the happy medium and sticks to that size. She has a dark complexion, not tanned but actually brown in color. Her thick, shoulder length black hair is streaked with blue, and usually pulled up into a long ponytail hanging limply off the right side of her head. Set into her face are two startlingly blue eyes; the color is so sharp that it would seem like she was piercing your very soul if you looked straight into them. This usually isn't the case though, as they are mostly clouded over with regret.

A black tanktop covers her torso; it has the silver outline of a dragon spouting fire from its mouth situated just below her neck. Her tank top ends by overlapping her army style camo. pants, though they have different hues of gray and black instead of the normal green and brown camoflauge. Overtop of all this is a white trenchcoat covered with many, many pockets both inside and out. Tucked under her pants are a pair of simple black boots, having nothing too significant about them. Really, they're just... boots. Like, combat boots.

Personality: Karasute has a rather jumpy personality. She tends to be scared of just about anything, and though her cowardice is strong she will reluctantly cast it aside if it involves helping one of her friends. She can be rather loud sometimes, and she never starts fights if she can help it. And yet, somehow, she always manages to attract trouble to herself. Be it her natural curiosity or just the fact that fate seems to have it in for her, she can never get through a single day without something bad happening to her, grandscale or otherwise. She instantly warms up to those who are kind to her, and has a large amount of respect for those who are intelligent or instantly recognized as leaders. Her thinking process isn't that great and she often says things that can be regarded as completely out of line, but her heart is in the right place. At least, she hopes it is.

History: Karasute grew up on the rather isolated island of Dewford, and ever since the day she was born she has always felt rather cramped. She was easily bored with the simple island life and wanted to get away from it. Unfortunately, her extremely overprotective parents wouldn't even let her near the ocean to go fishing with what few friends she managed to make. Her boredom led her to wild ideas of simply leaving without warning, but it wasn't until she was fifteen that she finally decided to follow through with her ideas.

After pulling out the money she saved over the years and placing it in the inside pockets of her coat, she snuck out of the house she lived in. She walked quietly towards the northern shore, sticking to the shadows as much as possible. Upon reaching the beach, she smiled, watching the waves for just a few moments. She held up the great ball she had been concealing in her hand and released the family Wingull.

"Alright Willy, you're gonna need to use Fly so I can get to the shore north of here. Ready?" she asked quietly.

He seemed undecided for a moment, then nodded his head. He hovered just slightly above her, and she grabbed onto his webbed feet. The Wingull cawed loudly as the two of them were surrounded by a thin, almost invisible white aura. Karasute suddenly got a strange feeling in the pit of her stomach, as though she had become feather-light. Willy took off into the air; she let out a yelp and hung on for dear life. 'Crud, I didn't know I was scared of heights...' she thought frantically as they soared over the ocean.

As the northern shore loomed ever closer, she allowed herself a sigh of relief. 'Me up in the air... never again.' She landed safely on the ground, then caught Willy in her arms as he began to fall from fatigue. She hugged him and made her way to the Pokemon Center. After spending the rest of the night there and letting the Wingull heal up, she tied a note to her parents on his leg and sent him back home.

From this point onward Karasute has been traveling through the regions, searching for a purpose; something she can do with her life. Perhaps an actual hobby, like writing or painting. She did become a trainer, sort of, but has never actually kept a pokemon for too long. She usually ends up releasing them back into the wild.

It was during a trip to Johto that she was captured. She had been visiting Goldenrod when BAM! They were under attack. Everything was so organized, and it went so quickly that most people didn't even have any time to react. Her escape was a stroke of pure luck; some of the more rebellious captives made a bit of commotion, and she managed to get out during the confusion with a few others. Not that any of those others are alive anymore. Her little group was, of course, being tracked down. Karasute expects to be killed any day now. She just hopes she can reach Azalea to spread word of the attacks before that happens.

Status: Escapee

Pokemon:

Cassandra- Espeon, Female. Given to her by a surprisingly sympathetic Rocket grunt.

Other: Nope.

Okay. Yes, I'm plotting something. No, it probably won't be very big, and may even be lost in the main plot of the RPG. Yes, the Espeon Karasute has is the genetically enhanced one that Sangue stole from the laboratory. But it doesn't -look- like it's been experimented on. This okay with you, Johto?

Can i please reserve a place as an escapee? I just need to find out a few things,
Have our pokemon been stolen or do we still have them? i have an interesting idea considering the escapee's. I will PM you when you let me know if i have a place
Thanks
 

JohtoBlaziken

I dunno lol
Yes, of course you can reserve a place as an escapee. Reserved. Your Pokemon are still with you, as most of the escapees managed to flee the town they were in before the Team Rocket grunts were able to drag them to a gym. If your escapee's situation to be a bit different, pm me about it, and I might approve it.

Interesting idea? PM me if you want (because I really want to know :p), but if not, go for it. I do not want you to feel like I'm limiting your creativity.

So, I hope I answered your questions. Your spot's reserved!
