Cult of Arceus-OOC

[Eshkigal]

Just for the purposes of the rules. Each of us started with one that is basically something you find in any route in a game, or is common enough according to Rei. Kantolin had machop (now Machoke), Major has pichu, Present had regginrola (about as common as geodude), and I took magikarp (now a gyarados). Don't think ralts was that common, right? Although if people want it to be common, it will be. I think Abra was labeled common by the previous DM, though. As for the knife, it's ammo. Let's say...200 for a decent quality one?

[Esprit15]

I'd like to, but I won't make a big deal about it and instead just take a Ghastly egg. Of course a Ralts is first on my 'Want to Catch' list, hint hint, nudge nudge.

[Eshkigal]

Understood. Personally, I'd just go with one pokemon being a couple levels lower and having a gastly, but that works too. Everyone with eggs will have Kantolin's hatcher's bonus.

Thinking about it though, I think I'll let litwick be your common. Ghosts are a bit of a weird type when it comes to this, so why not?

Anything you want to note for your relationship with your cousin Tony? He'd be close in age to you, so he wouldn't be someone Zach gives pokemon.

Zach approved! Looking at others.

[Eshkigal]

@Major: Finally have a real chance to review the classes. Primevalist and Magical Girl are both approved. However, I hope primevalist isn't used too often if you take it. That could get messy fast.

Wait, so Ralts would work then?

Hm, I'll think about that. Do you want me to add it into the character sheet? And no, I never thought he would. That was more for family in Mistralton, not his entire family.

[Eshkigal]

Yeah, sure. As I said, ghosts are strange like that, because they really have no boundaries and I don't know what rules Rei had for them. As for you and Tony, only if you want.

Okay: Current list of people approved to start posting IG.

Waiting on:

Arcran if he returns
Jallorn if we can figure out the stat issue. Speaking of that, are any of you well versed in balancing stats with classes that have opposing stat groups?

[PresentPresence]

What classes does Jallorn want to use? I could try to help with a build.

I'd like my Geodude served in egg form, please.

[Eshkigal]

Alright, once everyone is set up. Jallorn wants to be a martial artist/psychic/empath that dual wields and mimics his two primary pokemon in combat.

[3.1415926535897]

Why is it that any pokemon (even mammals like growlith) come in egg form?

Because explaining birth to a five year old and remaining E is complicated, and eggs are not. Plus it creates a single mechanic for all Pokémon children, as opposed to making all sorts of exceptions. This was kept in the transition to a tabletop game.

Well I need my HP to absorb damage for pokemon and to heal so Primvalist is unlikely to be used too much (super expensive). I'll try and have character updated tomorrow and pick between Magical and Primvalist.

Edit: Holy crap O.o Kara isn't the smartest person around anymore :P

27 intelligence O.o

On a side note this meeting should be interesting :P Considering even Tony probably doesn't know about Kara's orphanage and getting kicked out and all that backstory since the most she'd tell people would be her Viridian story and past time.

And thus a blast from the past might be able to reveal a bit about her :P

[Esprit15]

And even then, almost everyone in the group is crazy smart. I feel stupid next to all of your 20+ intelligences.
If Kara hates battles because they hurt Pokémon, what will she think about a Litwick and it's family (assuming the Pokédex info from the games is true here as well) being the pride and joy of my team?

Character Info

Spoiler

Physical Description:
Peter is heavy-set but muscular. He is built like an old-fashioned boxer. He keeps his silver hair in a crew cut. He is more similar in appearance to his father than to his brother Steven, who shares their mother's features.
Personality:
Peter is patient and stoic. He can be blunt, but he is not harsh. He loves attractive rocks and rock pokemon, and he collects both compulsively.
Background:

Spoiler

Peter Stone is the son of Mr. Stone, president of the Devon Corporation. His brother is Steven Stone, Champion of the Hoenn League and collector of rare stones. All of his life, Peter has been overshadowed by Steven and his accomplishments. Even though Steven did not mistreat Peter, he still resented his older brother for a long time. When Peter turned 14, he ran away from home with his pet Larvitar, seeking adventure and his own identity. Along the way, he found himself connected to rock-type pokemon. He acquired several of them, and found himself to be in-tune with the earth. He discovered that he had the ability to use techniques similar to the ones his pokemon could perform. He traveled through many lands, meeting new pokemon and seeing breath-taking landscapes. Eventually he came to terms with who he was, and reconciled with his family. He has not lost his spirit of adventure, however. He now finds himself on a boat in the Kanto region, where he hopes to discover some new pokemon.

Bio:

Spoiler

Peter was traveling through the Ilex forest in the Johto region, and had stopped to observe the shrine. An elderly couple were kneeled there, and appeared to be praying. When he approached them, they got up and took an object out of the shrine. They placed it in his hands, saying, "There is a curse on this egg, and we cannot hatch it. Please, take this evil away from our village, lest it spread to our other eggs." The egg was hard and rocky, and had a strange symbol carved on the outside of it. Peter agreed to take the egg, and he left the forest. He, too, had trouble hatching it - he couldn't even feel anything moving inside it. After several weeks of travel and with no response from the egg, he buried it in a sunny spot in a field, figuring that the infant pokemon had not survived. The ordeal taxed him physically and emotionally, so he laid down to sleep next to the burial ground. When he awoke in the morning, he was amazed to see that three red-orange-colored leaves had sprouted from cracks in the top of the egg. He exhumed the egg and kept it in a clay pot, treating it like a seedling. When he tried to water it, the leaves moved away from the trickling water. He decided not to water it, but gave it lots of sun, like how a cactus is raised. After a week's time, the hard shell of the egg fully cracked, revealing a baby Bonsly. The middle of its forehead bore the same symbol that was on its egg. He researched the glyph, and learned that it was an ancient rune that symbolized protection. He named the baby after the rune's modern translation. Eihwaz is mischievous, but not cruel, and knows how to take a joke.

When Peter was still young and resentful of his older brother, he received a package at a Poke Mart. Inside was a letter and a heavy rock. The letter was from Steven. "Dear brother, I have not seen or heard from you for a long time. We all miss you and want to hear from you. I was excavating an underwater temple in the middle of the ocean when I found this fossil. I want you to have it. Father tells me you are in the Unova region - you should visit the Nacrene Museum and show them this fossil. I am sure they will be interested. Sincerely, Steven." Reading the letter caused a flood of emotion in Peter, and would later lead to him reconciling with his family. He visited the Nacrene Museum, and they agreed to reanimate the fossil for him. A linguistics researcher at the museum suggested the name Chelonii - she said it means "Waves" in the old tongue of Unova. Chelonii can be stubborn at times, but she is also self-assured and supportive of her friends. If Eihwaz plays a practical joke on her, she will retaliate by watering him.

[Eshkigal]

Looks right to me. Peter Stone 2.0 approved!

[Esprit15]

I just realized how stupid it was for speed to be improved by Ambrule's nature only to make it a dump stat.

[Eshkigal]

Go ahead and fix it, just let me know what you changed so I can give it a quick look.

[Major]

Kara 2.0 now with transformation powers:
http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showp...39&postcount=6

On a side note I need a Dawn stone...

[Eshkigal]

That'll be on your own initiative. Also, Arcran reminded me of something important for our psychics and elemental inclined trainers: Rei ruled that people with a psychic attunement to an element can use their kinetic powers to make a weapon out of their primal element. This means Zach can toss bolts of fire like daggers from his hands, Pete can make a chain of rocks or a sand whip, and Arcran's character will whip things with water.

Forgot if I said this, but Kara 2.0 is good to go. If people don't want me to have the holiday pokemon pop up for them in a way of my choosing, put them in your sheet and note where they came from.

I made her Quiet. Still allows for a similar personality as Timid did, unlike Modest.

[Arcran]

Wow, lots of magic users. I think I'll change my build. MA/Weapons Master/ Hunter (Wild Child AC). If this is O.K., how many levels of Pokemon have I killed, for the purpose of crafted gear.

If you already had a Modifier Arms Feature, you may still use them if your means of making those weapons deal special damage are still available.

That's why I took it. :P

Need a link to Hunter, but keep in mind your concept may not go so well with the others. Same for an actual assassin.

I know that. I actually plan for him to be locked in the brig, being shipped to Kanto to pay for his crimes. Figured me 'n Major can have some solid interaction. One a Pokehugger, one a merciless Hunter. Fun stuff!

Also, link.

...Why would they ship him on a Cruise Ship? Going to say no to that background due to lack of logic (even for pokemon), going to read hunter.

Oh, Cruise Ship? I'll just have him living large off his ill-gotten funds.

Okay, we need to work some details out before we even get to homebrew on this guy. You're obviously aiming for evil, which can be interesting. However...what is this guy? A Rocket? Part of a poke mob? Big game hunter? This one needs a pitch to get anywhere.

I was planning a big game hunter. Goes into the wilds and kills Pokemon, trying to stay under the radar of the Rangers. His fence works for Rocket, although Brand (my guy) isn't technically affiliated with them. But why, other than the money, does he kill Pokemon you may ask. Because he loathes them. He lived in the wilds just him, his Growlithe, and his wife. He had a good life and he was making a decent living as a woodcutter. One day he heard a cry from his house, and rushed back only to find his wife dead and Pokemon tracks all over.
For the next three years he lived in the wilds, almost feral, living off Pokemon. Eventually he found out he could make money off this, and so the profit began. But the biggest thing is that he enjoys killing the beasts that shattered his life.
Still in rough draft, but gives you an idea.
As for Pokemon, level 25 Growlithe and level 25 Staravia that was his wifes.

Kara: *glares* I'll kill you.

Edit: how much is a Dawn stone btw?

Good luck.

Also, along those lines, I'll need a Fire Stone.

We'll just all go on a stone shopping spree at this rate. If the egg I have is a male Ralts, I might end up needing a dawn and dusk stone (for Ambrule).

EDIT: Don't Togetic evolve with a light stone, not a dawn stone?
