Default Shadows of the Truth - PTA (OOC)

In late September, 2013, an ineffable creature appeared in the center of london. Hundreds of people surrounded it, trying to catch a glipse of the being.
A cry went across the world. This cry was not that of an animal, nor the thoughts of a mind.
It was simply the existance of a being that a mind can not comprehend.

It was what humans years later will later call Arceus.

On that day the cry, warped the minds and of most the people and animals in the world. We don't know if it was the beings intention to do this but it was the effect.

The monsters that were created that day are known as pokemon. They hold huge amounts of energy within them. And can destroy things with but a whim.

Some governments remained, but only in the largest of countries. They tried to fight this monsters with bullets and newly developed powers. But the Pokemon were too powerful.

In the end the Pokemon fought back, and the result was catastrophic. The world was torn apart. Continents moved and formed new shapes, weather became nearly completely stable, deserts became drier than ever as it no longer rained, marshes flooded nearly every week as it rained nearly each day.

In the last few years civilisation has started to reform. Their are now three settlements on the known continent. You reside in one of them, a small town in the southernmost area of the landmass. Its in a small marshy area where the roots of mangroves can be seen sticking out of the soft ground.

Your journeys shall begin in Little Root Town.

Would it be possible to get a Torchic that evolves to fire/psychic? Either way, it's my favorite. I should have my guy up soon, if not tomorrow. (1d2)[1]

I've found it easiest to just type it all out once. Then you have it here for all to see, easily editable. Also, you guys suck, with your starters...

Also as well, where in Pokemon canon does this take place? I wanna be a Birch- will I be a descendant, or an ancestor, of the one in the game? I'm guessing ancestor.

So I've decided that I'd like a rash nature vulpix because vulpix is cute. That shouldn't be a problem right?

So we are just posting all of our stats on this forum rather than linking to another site?

You should place your character sheet on this thread.
For the format of your character sheet can can use one mine from an seperate game I've played as a template for your own:

It takes about three six generations before cannon. So you can be the ancestor.

My computer has blocks on it so safest bet would be to put it on this thread.

Sounds good, guess I'll have to speed up on making my Pokedex.

You could be a Psychic Type Ace. One of their class features allows you to change the type of a pokemon to yours. Of course that would assume you are focusing on psychic types.

I'm thinking the year will be 2019 so six years after the incident. But I might have to re-think this as Jericho is 19 that would imply he was 13 or 14 when the military drafted him.

I can add a few years. Making him 23 makes it so he was still young when he was drafted, but not that young. Though that would make him a bit old... it's your call, I don't mind either way.

I can make it less years after Arceus's cry, one question though how will 23 be "a bit old"?

Yes that's the level they will start at. Also Loyalty for starters is generally 2 or lower, at your decision.

In most Pokemon games, the characters are usually in their early teens. Though, I guess early 20's aren't too old to gdt into Pokemon.
