There's been rumors of an odd virus in Sinnoh, causing pokemon to lose control and attack anyone without remorse. Professor Rowan calls out eight specialized trainers to investigate further. Will the trainers be able to discover the cause and origin of the virus before it spreads far enough to affect their own?

Just to let you know this RPG will only last two days, [Sunday, January 13 - Monday, January 14] so lets enjoy it as much as possible while it lasts.

  • Spamming outside the Chatterbox Forum is not allowed. Coming into some one's RP to bump or spam useless nonsense (gibberish & images not related to RP) is disrespecting their Role Play and the users.

  • You may play with no more than one character. Unless another player gave you permission to play as his character, then you would have his/her character plus your own.

  • When role playing do not use symbols to depict actions. Type in third person and past tense.
    Example: "Sitzen!" She commanded the dog-beast, knowing without seeing that he had been tensing for a lunge.

  • No quoting posts.

  • Make sure to add some life to your post, be it with color or images. No images bigger than 300 x 300 and try to avoid blinding or barely noticeable colors for your text.

  • Please use text size from eleven to nine.

  • You may not power game fight scenes in any manner. Give other characters a chance to defend themselves in battle. You make an action, but you may not determine the affect your actions have (i.e., whether a hit lands or not.) Do not put in a post suggesting an auto-hit, no matter the length or detail. Put in 'would', 'might', or 'may', followed by 'if hit' or 'if in contact with', etc etc. The same goes the other way: you can't avoid every blow in battle. Fight fairly, and respect other people's characters!

  • No encouraging suicide or kill another character without him/her wanting to. Killing other characters is a definite no-no in the RPG and grounds for expulsion from the game. The killing off of other people’s characters is not permitted, as it would be very unfair to the person who created the character. Unless a person that has decided to leave the RPG gave permission to.

  • Try staying in character. Talking out of character destroys the games ambiance so please try to keep it in character. But if it can't be helped please use [, (, ::, or something of the sort to distinguish it from the rest of the role play.

  • Cybering is posting or RPing with explicit adult contents. Such as RPing sex or detailing something that would go against the PG-13 forum rule put forth by Gaia Online. Romance is allowed but if you thing are getting a bit steamy just take in to PM.

  • No being abusive towards another player out or in character with excessively vulgar use of words with intent to harm, insult, or post racial comments towards another user(s) after being asked to stop by the user(s).

  • No harassing another user(s) out or in character after being asked to stop by the user(s).

  • No stalking another user(s) or thread(s) after being asked to stop.

  • Please PM me your profile and wait for my reply before beginning to post. Place Umbra in the subject to make sure you read all the rules and agree to follow them.

Appearance: [x] [x] [x] Madisson stands around 5'2 with a sturdy and well proportioned body, yet her faded skin color gives her a sickly complexion. She has short red hair, with two black steaks above her ears which she colored herself. She’s usually seen wearing dark attire. A shirt with white lines across the chest and neck, a skirt with intricate organic designs at the end and school girl shoes with matching socks. Rarely seen without her Murkrow she likes to call Haze.

Extremely loyal to those she considers her close friends, she'll stick up for them and would never put them in a position that could hurt them in any way. Once her mind is made up there is no changing it, but no one said that was a bad thing, right?
Bio: In her investigation of Dark and Ghost type pokemon she discovered that dark pokemon were much more susceptible to the virus than others. She had also noticed that ghost pokemon are somehow immune to it. Rowan was very pleased that this young trainer was able to shed more light to The Umbra Virus Investigation.

Character Name: Berri Riboun
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Type: Normal / Grass
Home Town or City: Eterna City
Appearance: x For her age, Berri is quite short and looks like a young girl. She is only 4'9" and has a "baby voice and face". However, when push comes to shove, Berri is able to sound a bit older than she really is, speaking with a lower and more commanding voice as opposed to her high and childish normal speaking voice. For clothing, Berr wears a seera fuku with a tie and jeans under the skirt.
Personality: Her type specialty has both been affected by and affected her personality. Berri is a peaceful, cheerful type of girl who is usually putting thought and care into helping others. Ever since she began training Pokemon, the girl has focused her efforts on aiding trainers and not completely on leveling up, though after six years of being a hire-able support trainer for diffcult journeys, she has gotten some battle experience. Her faults are mainly that she is a klutz, overly-trusting and still not very experienced in battle.
Bio: Berri is a trainer who specializes in support and healing rather than battle, so for a trip like this, she accompanies the trainers to heal their Pokemon, while some of her Pokemon come to inflict status problems on the enemy to help out in battle. She was also chosen for the trip because she is very experienced in first aid; think of her as a traveling nurse. Berri s researching the Umbra Virus in hopes of helping gather information for a vaccine.
Family-wise, her mother is a Pokemon nurse and her father is a Human doctor. Berri has two younger sisters, one of whom is 14 and the other is 12.
Pokemon: A * means they have healing moves, ~ means they are for inflicting status problems. Zangoose is her only fully offensive Pokemon.
Zangoose [normal]
Blissey [normal] * - belong to her mother
Miltank [normal] *
Eevee [normal] - traded with sister
Jumpluff [grass/flying] ~
Ditto [normal]

Username:Voider
Character Name: Bastion Avios
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Type: Dragon/Bug
Home Town or City: Celestic Town
Appearance: {O} Standing at 5'6", Bastion looks much like an average person. However, the few things that set him apart from the populace, are the few things he likes about himself. One thing, he wears a tattoo of a dragon on his neck, something he purchased when he began to look into Dragon types. Another is his brown hair, which he highlighted with black streaks. The last, and final thing, is his piercing red eyes, said to be able to bore holes into one's skin.
Personality: Bastion is a very calm person, not really known to become angry, even in most appropriate times. This, however, is a mask that he put up, a very good imitation of a personality, but a mask nonetheless. When he is around people he trust, his true personality is revealed, showing him to be nice, friendly, of course, calm, and, at times, a bit flirty.
Bio: Bastion was looking into his study of Bug and Dragon types, when a starling discovery shocked his research. Some Bug Pokemon had a sort of antivirus in their body, able to combat the virus, though the specifics as to which Bug is not specified. Strong Dragon Pokemon are able to destroy the source, not in their own body, but in something else's. Rowan caught wind of this and placed him on the Investigation, as well.
Pokemon:
Scyther {Bug/Flying}
Gabite {Dragon/Ground}
Vibrava {Dragon/Ground}
Armaldo {Bug/Ground}
Dragonair {Dragon}
Shelgon {Dragon}

Character Name: Damian Henry Venge
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Type: Ground/Psychic
Home Town or City: Sandgem Town
Appearance: x x x Damian is around 6'2" and is usually seen with a small amount of dirt spread across his person, not on purpose obviously. His skin color is slightly tanned, kept to a simple tone from the variant of underground habitation and sunlight. His hair has been bleached white by the sun, due to the amount of time spent outside of most towns and commonly-used paths. He normally wears a simple tee shirt, various symbols set aside on the front of the t-shirt, usually being white for the main color to keep extra heat from entering his body, and a pair of jeans since they are harder to rip, burn, and less likely to be damaged by other events.
Personality: Damian is not one for social interaction, getting along better with pokemon over people, and lacks most thing neccesary to relate to other people, emotionally-wise anyhow. He has a rather long fuse for a temper, and is rather patient and calm throughout most times. Anxiety and worry are two things he has rarely suffered from, however emotional distance is something which has followed him since near birth.
Bio: Damian grew up in Sandgem Town, away from the large amounts of people which lived in the cities not too far from his own home town. When he was sixteen, one year prior to the current, he wandered off, a bit longer than his usual time, and witnessed a case of the Umbra Virus within an Abra, luckily the pokemon wasn't incredibly offensive. After a short battle, the Abra's bloodlust causing loss of common sense, the pokemon was captured, weakened to near fainting measures. Damian has witnessed two cases of the virus since, and has learned that evolution has a chance of destroying the virus within the evolving pokemon, having it's body build up an immunity during the evolutionary process. Causing evolution within one of the infected pokemon however is rather difficult, since helping them evolve would cause you to have to form a bond with them, which, with a bloodlusting pokemon, would be rather difficult. The three cases were a Ralts, the Abra, and a Hippopotas.
Pokemon:
Claydol [Ground/Psychic]
Rhyperior [Ground/Rock]
Hippowdon [Ground]
Gardevoir [Psychic]
Kadabra [Psychic]
Diglett [Ground]

Prof. Rowan

He has a stern personality that makes him seem intimidating, but he is actually very kind. Rowan says he still feels a thrill whenever he travels anywhere with his Pokémon. He apparently has a sweet tooth, as the refrigerator in his laboratory is full of nothing but sweets and candy.

Rowan's particular field of study is Pokémon evolution, having discovered that 90% of all Pokémon are connected in some way to others through evolution. He is also interested in determining if evolution is supposed to be a form of Pokémon reaching maturity, or a way for an "incomplete" being to become "more complete", and the implications that the process has on Legendary Pokémon, which don't evolve.
