1 ~ Plot: There once was nothing in the vast universe. Nothing, but a single churning mass of chaos, and a single egg, in the complete middle of the mess. When the time was finally at the right, the egg hatched in the Original One, Arceus. From that Original One, was six, not five, as the current legends claim there was. They were the power of Time, Dialga, the power of Space, Palkia, the power of Emotion, Mesprit, the power of Knowledge, Uxie, the power of Willpower, Azelf, and, lastly, the power of Death, Giratina. From those six, time ticked, space expanded. Both humankind and Pokemon were created, and given emotion, knowledge, and willpower. The last thing was death itself. Land formed itself, though all was a mess. Life was good, though, as other Legendary Pokemon were made by the Original One, to restore and keep balance when ever unkempt. They balanced out land and water, and watched from the skies. The roamed the lands and the skies. The protected the land, they protected nature. They floated, fought, danced. They lived life happily together. After they had done all in their power they could do to shape the earth, the six great ones took great sleep. But through the sleep of one of the mighty ones, came dark thoughts, ones that chilled to the bone. Thoughts that would forever change the world.

In his great, mighty cave, as the embodiment of Death, Giratina, slept, he thought long and hard. As he slept, Giratina took his great, godly shadow powers gifted to him by Arceus and warp the cave he resided in, which was named TurnBack Cave. His dwellings twisted and churned, mished and mashed, to resemble the old time when the world was young, and no order was in place. The time when there was just a churning chaos, and nothing more, no egg, no Arceus. Giratina reveled while thinking about this past life, because Giratina was a natural born lover of the chaos that was before the world was created. He thought that, with no Arceus, the world would revert back to it's original state. And in the mighty chaos, he would be the one ruler, the one who created all land, and brought his mighty law to all who served and lived in his domain. He dreamed of the day when he would rule all of that darkness, where no one opposed him, where he was king; was god. Giratina devised a devious plan to rally up troops of the shadow; to rally them up, and ultimately destroy Arceus in one final showdown where he resides; the Beginning Dimension. And, fortunately for him, so did three other powerful, and yet sadly, evil Pokemon; Darkrai, Mewtwo, and Deoxys.

Plot:

Giratina hatched yet another idea. While he was recruiting combatants for his shadow army, he would contact the three, and see if they would make a pact to ally up with each other. Ready to depart, Giratina left his cronies to watch over his cave, and took flight to Darkrai's island. Little did he know, Arceus was watching him. As Giratina flew over the caves and foothills of Sinnoh, his shadow left an eerie mark on the land. Soon, in about a day, Giratina made his way onto the island Darkrai resided on. Darkrai had already been recruiting a few warriors for his own personal doings. For over a month now they have been landing sneak attacks on Canalave City, the closet city to Newmoon Island. When Giratina informed him of his plans, all Darkrai could do was smirk. He told Giratina to go off and inform Deoxys, and then Mewtwo. Meanwhile, Darkrai bolstered his forces by corrupting the minds of the other Pokemon that inhabited the island. Giratina traveled all the way to Hoenn's Mossdeep City, and then Kanto's Cerulean City, and informing both Deoxys and Mewtwo of his destructive plans. They too told Giratina to go fly off, back to Sinnoh, while they would control minds of defenseless. For, Giratina created a power, a power which allowed mental domination of the body, that made Pokemon their slaves, and shared that power with the others. All while Arceus watched them all.

On one cold November night, around midnight, several months after Giratina told of his plan, the plan finally came into action. With everybody having plenty enough warriors, they struck. Giratina attacked Veilstone City, Darkrai crushed Canalave City, Deoxys ambushed Mossdeep, and Mewtwo raided Cerulean. They struck at midnight to insure their victory, but little did they know, they were being watched. Cresselia, being dangerously close to Darkrai, rushed herself to Arceus. As she raced across the waters, the four Legendaries were tearing up and destroying anything that was in their past. Business done within a matter of a few hours, the destructive dark forces left as quickly as the came, leaving nothing but destruction and death in their wake; all part of Giratina's master plan. Cresselia, fearing that she was too late to save the cities, raced as fast as she could. As she reached Mt. Coronet, she found nothing opposing her way to the top of the large mountain. Once she reached the top, she witnessed Arceus confronting Dialga and Palkia about the situation. Arceus knew exactly the plan, for he had been watching the whole ordeal for a very long time now. Enraged that one of the very beings he created himself would betray him, he knew it was now time. He walked to the edge of the Beginning Dimension, and as he did, looked at Dialga, Palkia, and Cresselia. He got to the very edge of his domain, and send out a message to all the pure Pokemon left in the world.

"Brave Pokemon warriors, defenders of light, of all nature, and life itself, arise. Your time has come to defeat these beasts, and stop them from overtaking this world, and turning it once again into chaos."

4 ~ Small Q&A:

Q: How long will the posts have to be?
A: At least a few sentences long.

Q: How literate do we have to be?
A: Try to be. I don't expect an insanely large sign-up; I just want the story of your character.

Q: Who will control the Legendaries?
A: For the most part, I will post as them. Later on when we're a few pages in, I'll let those who I've seen good quality post from be the Legendaries.

Q: Alright, who will control the Plot Characters*?
A: They will be solely played by me.

Q: How many characters are we allowed to have?
A: Two, three tops.

Q: How long do you think this RP will last?
A: I hope a while.

Q: Are we allowed to have a character on both sides?
A: Yes, we are, I don't see why not.

Q: "Do the characters go and talk to Arceus about joining the team or if Arceus is scouting for talent and finds us?"
A: Basically, you just go with whomever. There's no sign-up sheet anywhere, you just go along with your heart.

Q: Do Brilliant Sun and Dark Abyss have a base anywhere?
A: Yes; Sun is based at Mt. Coronet, leading upwards, and Abyss is stationed at the beginning of TurnBack Cave.

Q: Will/have other Legendaries joined Sun/Abyss?
A: As the plot unfolds, we shall see.

Q: Is this the end of the Q&A?
A: Yup. Thanks, xenoman and Aqua xD. Moving on...

* = Plot Characters are simply the NPC's of the RP. The minor ones will be made up as we go along, but the major characters will be added along with the up-dates of the thread. As a fear I'd only pick the Pokemon I personally like the best as Plot Characters, I would like some people to help me with it.

Er, my character's name is Fuega. With an 'a' at the end. And I'd be happy to help design Plot Chars - once I get a feel for the general way the plot is going, my little writer's mind will probably spawn a thousand.

Heh, that first sentence was kinda funny, since the fanfiction I'm writing about her is called My Name Is Fuega. ^^

I meant do the charecters go and talk to arceus about joining the team or if Arceus is scouting for talent and finds us?
If that makes sense...

I have two questions... Firstly, does Brilliant Sun (well, I suppose this goes for Dark Abyss, too) have a base of operations of sorts? A home area? I'm hypothesizing that Sun is headquartered at Mt. Coronet and Abyss is at Turnback Cave.

Secondly, have/will the other Legendaries taken/take sides? So far, these affiliations are turning out eerily like my second main fic. If they do take sides, I think Heatran should go Abyss (he/she/it/whatever represents primal fury and untamable nature - essentially, a destruction god).

Xenoman, I guess they just really go with the flow. There's not really any place to go and say, "Yeah, I want to sign-up for the Brilliant Sun..." But while on that subject, yes, the main headquarters are exactly were you said, Aqua059. Right now, during the pre-RP, the "bases" are being erected, i.e. roofs and the like. To answer your second question, the Legendaries will join teams depending on who finds them first. Really since the all the "good" and "light" Pokemon have made a team, same for the "bad" and "evil" Legendaries, You can't really place Pokemon because of they're nature. Though, your point with Heatran is a good one.

Actually, the base of Mt. Coronet works out, because I was thinking of some [or at least one] plot character[s] heading towards the mountain in search of an herb, which is coincidentally based off of the PKMN TCG card, Life Herb. Also while I mention that herb I would like to bring to not only the community but Pokemon RPing as a whole the idea of Pokemon parts having medicinal purposes. If things like claws, fangs, and even tails weren't so rogue that they were introduced into PMD 2 then I think somethings can be extracted from a Pokemon's body. Of course, the Pokemon would have died from natural causes, such as sickness and age, and not slain for their body parts. One such thing I was thinking of was Anorith feathers. Of course, I'm getting way ahead of my self, but I still felt that I should have at least shared that.

How can you demand literacy of the "very" caliber? All sign-ups in this RP so far mediocre.

*coughParasectMushroomcough* Yeah, you're right. The Pokemon could, as an alternative to dying, simply shed whatever part it is that is used...Skarmory-feather swords, various teeth, and Tropius fruit (that one ALWAYS creeped me out) come to mind. Ooh, all this really goes along well with my second character... ^^ I can just see a Dark Abyss fighter gulping down some Pokemon-derived recovery item while a Brilliant Sun fighter looks on in horror and repulsion.

But yeah. I think we might have enough player characters...I'm reading over the SU sheet several times to make sure I know who everyone else is, and it's beginning to bewilder even me (I have a tendency to put about a thousand characters in fanfictions and confuzzle my readers..)

sadly i have one more question:
Are we aloud to role play with our own charecters? like if Moso fought Hamatca?

Gravity
06-13-2008, 09:14 PM
No, seriously, I love you. Dx

GREAT ideas, and Light, I see little mediocrity in the sign-up; yes, a few need to be expanded, but I found Aqua's second character incredibly outstanding. Actually, I wanted to talk about that. The way she crafted the character himself was massively impressive. Though the history taught not much, it explains enough reason for the Granbull to have not only the move Crunch at that age, but the reasoning for his insanity. The very backbone of an almost hellish-like cleric that studies the and dwells in the dark arts of the ruler of death, Giratina himself. To make such out of a Pokemon and it still retain it's former Pokemon sense, is that mediocrity? I dare say, I think not.

EDIT: Xenoman, I'm going to up-date my Q&A just for you xD
No, we are not allowed to RP with ourselves, cause then we'd have like three active people.

Light
06-13-2008, 09:20 PM
Well, I said all, but I meant most. I'm a very linear thinker, it seems.

And I don't really understand xenoman's question. Role play with our own characters?

Gravity

It's alright =P
And as in if you had a good and evil character.

Aqua059
06-13-2008, 10:01 PM
*is extremely flattered* Actually, I created Jawbone specifically for the purpose of being a Dark Abyss Support...I saw that we didn't have any, checked my PBR strategy guide to find a sufficiently 'dark' Pokemon that knew Heal Bell, found Snubbull listed as an Egg Move candidate, and crafted his story. He needed a reason for being a Dark Abyss member, and I didn't want to have two characters with tragic backstories, so...yeah. Thanks for the praise, Spiritomb. *is still extremely flattered*

And I'm back with a question/discussion topic/point to ponder. Notice how Pokemon of the same species have different movesets in each region. Now this is just my theory, but I think it has something to do with regional variation (like how, say, sparrows look slightly different depending on where you live.) We know from Egg Moves that a Pokemon's capabilities are determined by genetics. So it makes sense that (and I'm using Charmander as an example here) the strain of Charmander in Kanto has acquired the genes that enable them to learn Metal Claw, while the Sinnoh strain learn Dragon Rage at a fairly low level (maybe the Charizard interbred with Garchomp?) Isolation and adaptation. So - and this is where it applies to the RP - Fuega, being from Kanto, knows Metal Claw but not Dragon Rage. Jawbone is a Sinnoh native, so he draws from Granbull's DP moveset.

*exhales* Okay. I'm done.

... Well then. ._.
How old are you? xD You should be a theorist. .-. Really.
Actually, I love to talk about that junk, so if you wanted to PM me... yeah. .-.

EDIT: BTW, yes, I loved the theory/explanation xD

Aqua059
06-15-2008, 02:49 AM
Are the armies/construction crews comprised of both Pokemon and Trainers, or just Pokemon?

Gravity
06-15-2008, 03:10 AM
Just Pokemon, sorry I never said that .-.
And will you ever PM me back? D:

I just signed up on it. Sorry I didn't post on the rp. I had too much things to do like 2 fan fictions and a club that I have and 2 rps.
