OK. I think this is a unique and interesting RP. For the background story, I'm going to put the prologue from the fic I'm writing up. Here goes.
The world was a big thing, but compared to the rest of the universe, it’s insignificant. Nothing that happens there has a lasting effect on the cosmos. That was what everyone thought in the year 5212. Yet something was about to happen that would change that forever.
It started out a civil war, the first in 537 years. The people of America had been dividing into factions for years. The faction that supported the rise of Unified Nationality, the idea of all countries becoming one. And the faction that believed it was nationality that taught equality, fairness and individuality. The tension between the two grew every day, until eventually, it turned into a war.
Weapons hadn’t been used for a long time, but it didn’t take long for the sides to create new ones. Soon America, the so called Brain of the Peace, was a battle field. Many people died but the war continued. The weapons became more powerful and the fighting became more intense. By that time the rest of the world had started trying to stop the war. Unfortunately, nobody was powerful enough to stand up to their advanced weapons.
The side for Unified Nationality had a brilliant scientist working for them by the name of Pokeler. He invented a lot of the weapons and was giving his side a huge advantage. A few years after the start of the war, he became interested in creating advanced soldiers that could destroy whole units of enemy soldiers. He tried creating robotic soldiers but they could only last a few days before they fell apart.
Pokeler realized that mechanical humans were easily countered by the other side and decided that he would have to create living creatures. It took three more years during which he couldn’t create any more weapons and the enemy was winning the war. But finally, he succeeded in altering a praying mantis’ DNA as well as adding in fossilized dinosaur DNA. It grew to the size of a grown man. It had a dinosaur like face and stood on two legs, with long scythes instead of arms. Pokeler called it Scyther.
Pokeler created more creatures and called them Pokemon, short for Pokeler’s Monsters. He soon began experimenting on non-living matter, resulting in creatures made of steel and rock. With these creatures, the Unified Nationality started to slaughter enemies by the thousands. These creatures were the key to destroying all opposition, or so Pokeler thought. Small groups of survivors continued to trouble them, and as more and more countries developed weapons to help in the war, more and more of the Pokemon began to die.
The Unified Nations turned on Pokeler, blaming him for this change of tides. Desperate to win the war before his own people killed him, Pokeler worked day and night to create more Pokemon. At last, he did it. He created Pokemon with powers beyond any army. These, were the legendaries.
The legendaries were invincible. A giant bird called Arcticuno could freeze entire continents. A large creature resembling an armoured dinosaur, known only as Palkia, tore space itself apart. A shadowy spectre like creature called Darkrai drove cities insane with terrible nightmares. It was less than a month before all opposition had been defeated and a celebration was declared in Pokeler’s honour.
Yet an unforeseen consequence dampened their spirits. Even as the celebration began, a large blue canine creature called Suicune attacked. Too late, Pokeler realized that the legendaries were too powerful to control. They proceeded to attack cities all over the world, destroying all in their path. No matter what they tried, the legendaries continued to kill. A new age was beginning. An age of legendaries.
Many years later, people are still terrified of the Pokemon. The real terror though, is that a madman named Yevon Yu is creating copies of the Pokemon. They are much more powerful and if he succeeds, war will break out again, possibly destroying the entire world. These are called Yu Pokemon and are recognizable by their golden glow.
Yet not all hope is lost. Many people have become friends with the original Pokemon. Divided, they can't defeat Yevon Yu, certainly not before he has created his new Pokemon, but together, they may have a chance.
Here are the rules.
Be at least semi literate
No god-modding
Try to stick to the storyline.
Try to make sense
Don't say something ridiculous.
Remember that there are no pokeballs.
Remember that this is our world with artificial Pokemon. Normal animals are here too.
Be imaginative. If you want your Pokemon to be Kyogre, then say you were born on a floating city. It's the future after all.
If I've left anything out, PM me and I'll add it in. Thank you.
