Turns out that my usage is going to be far more restricted than previously (stupid filter!) as well as having a lot less time during the day, and I don’t want to slow the game down. Right now I am guessing once every couple days at most as far as actually good IC posts. I could probably do more, but they would probably be from my phone and for some reason when I post from that the quality is much lower. I don’t want to slow the game down, and due to the limited usage I also don’t want to cheat the other two games that I am already committed to as well as running Gym Battles on another forum that will likely be very busy, very soon. Due to this I, unfortunately, am going to have to withdraw interest. I apologize as this is the third time I have withdrawn from this game. It seems like every time I start making a sheet, something happens in real life that causes me to be unable to actually follow through on it. Once again, I am sorry about withdrawing (again). It is nothing against you guys, just me trying to jump in and then realizing after the fact that I am unable to actually find the time. Probably am sounding like a broken record here, but I am sorry.
Withdrawing interest with an (unlikely) possibility of being able to somehow find time.

This...I honestly can't think of any justification for any of the others to hang around with this guy, which is an issue. Forget being the antithesis of a character, forget the part where my ex-character hears the cries of all of his victims, forget that this guy would be best suited in his goals by working with the villains of the game. Why, in Arceus's name, would he join a group like this and be accepted as a murderer? This is important for the evil character. For example, in my Dark Sun game, I am the evil character-I am a crazed cannibalistic survivalist bugman in a party primarily neutral in alignment. However, they put up with my antics because I go out of my way to help them, and have saved them all on more than one occasion, despite personal risk. He is similar in that he hunts taboo prey and uses them for gear (halflings are happy meals and his hide armor), but the difference is in notable redeeming qualities (saves the party, knows the desert, has been notably useful) which you have not presented. What is your argument for reasons they would have you around?

Sorry, didn't see you withdrawing. Let's keep this for others who want to play evil, though.

I don't have a Togetic yet though. But I DO have an Eevee.

Stones are 15,000, sorry. There are a few places you can join a petrologist on a stone hunt during downtime, though.

Once Pi is ready, things on the ship will begin advancing at a faster pace. And with 99% more random happenstance deciding how!

@Pi: Looking good. Think all that's left is the background and appearance.

It gets agitated sometimes. If I remember right, I think the rules to it are you can't spoiler it before posting something, and you can't go back into a post and add one. Here are some examples.
Spoiler

(1d20)[10]
EDIT: [roll]1d20[/roll]
And I'm wrong about spoilers. Huh.

Yay! It worked. Thank you. Not that roll was any good.

Oh can one edit a post with a roll in it later? You know, for typos.

But you have a togepi, so that's what I was thinking. Did they change how Eevee evolves, because I don't remember any Dawn Stone evos.

EDIT: It seems we all have rather crappy eyesight. It'll be sad if an 8 is the best we can get.

Pokedex has Espeon evolve by a dawn stone, not by a morning+happiness.

It was a roll to notice a charmander hanging from the vents, with the chance to catch it. Kantolin and Present still have the opportunity to grab it, and Present has his holiday geodude nearby now.

Zachariah is just going to follow the man to the arena. I'll let you create what the arena looks like.

Oh, I thought that the Geodude caught it? Let me re-read that.

Edit: I'm still not sure how this scene is set up. Also, one-eyed Seviper guy is creepy.

The guy facing Zach? Did not intend for him to be so, but I can go that way, if you want. The guy in the vents with the poochyena is being based loosely off Arcran's concept of a hunter.

Geodude tried to grab charmander, lost to gravity, helped it up, and was interrupted before more fleeing. Scared and knowing it would likely get caught again, the geodude decided to take its chances with the nearest trainer with similar pokemon-Pete, in this case. There is now a charmander that is considered friendly to Tony and his allies, as he has begun channeling it. I apologize for any apparent randomness, but Arcran inspired a subplot that I figured would work for introducing remaining holiday pokemon, give one of you a chance to snag one, and introduce different elements of the story.

We left Kanto if I recall correctly.

On a side note Kara apparently isn't very accurate with her beam of death :P



I can't WAIT for a dragonite :P

Also if we ever get legendaries...

Come on Major, shouldn't Kara have a transformation chant? You know, something like "In the name of the Moon I will punish you!".

Still, she DOES have a chant. Why do you think her beam missed?

I'm sorry, I could not resist.

But come on, did you not think someone would raz you a little for being a mahou shojo?

Edit: That would be hilarious. I used to have real life group I GMed P:TTA, and the on going joke with one of the players was her rival was youngster Joey. The most annoying brat you ever met. Everywhere she went, he was there cursing up a storm.
