Welcome to Gaia! ::

1. This is a literate roleplay. Higher grammar, spelling and sentence structure are to be expected. Not all the time mind you--even the best of us have days where we just become apathetic--but it would be nice to be able to READ a post that isn't one long run-on sentence...
2. No godmodding/powerplaying/auto-hitting/etc...
3. Keep the OOC posts to a minimum.
4. Follow the Gaia ToS.
5. Have fun and respect one another.
6. I have the right to ask you to leave if you are disrupting the roleplay in any manner and repeatedly. Should it get to the point where you refuse to let us be not only will you be banned from this roleplay, but I will alert the moderators.
7. Try not to do any one-liners. Even two liners are better than one-liners....
8. The rules are subject to change once in a while, so check up on them from time to time.
9. This is going to be long-term. If you think you are not able, please do not join.
10. Have fun.
11. Romance is fine--encouraged even. However...anything above PG-15 goes to the PMs.
12. The rules are subject to change once in a while, so check-up in case you're worried about making a faux pas.
13. Do not double post. Do not bump. Double posting messes other players up while they're in the middle of making a post in response. You need not bump. I can do it myself.
14. Love is genderblind. So if you want to get into shounen-ai or shoujo-ai, go ahead. I'm not stopping you.

.S.T.O.R.Y.L.I.N.E.

Our story is set in the Johto region as most to tend to know at least this much. All the Pokemon currently in the list are available to trainers, however, it is advised that all new trainers get the usual starters. So, the story is a mix of Generation II and III with Pokemon up to Generation IV!

At the moment, our story starts off in New Bark Town where a special trainer celebration is occurring. All new trainers are guests of honor in a ceremony celebrating Pokemon and their trainers for a 100 year old anniversary of the Johto Region. There is music, games, food stalls and little performances set-up on stages. Perhaps the trainers will be mingling?

Episode 1 - New Beginnings
It's a party in New Bark Town and things are just starting to shake up!

Accepted Profiles

Gaia Name: Engel Valentine
Name: Black
Age: 10
Height: 4'9"
Appearance:
Gender: Male
Home Town: Black Thorn City
Starting Pokemon:
Bio: A pretty trainer from Black Thorn City, he is often mistaken for a cute girl. Although a new trainer, he uses a Poochyena as his starter Pokemon on his journey through Johto because of an incident in his youth where he was attacked by a group of wild Spearow. He is an optimistic sort with a cheerful attitude who is a total fanboy when it comes to Dragon types. One of his aspirations is to get a Dratini of his own and tain it until it becomes a Dragonite. His greatest dream is to fulfill the promise he made to a childhood friend of his, which is to join the Pokemon League at the same time as him.
Trainer Card:

Gaia Name: BooshKid-x
Name: Raseri Reiersen
Age: 19
Height: 5'7
Appearance: Elbow length, wavy black hair. Deep blue eyes. She wears a red 3/4 sleeved shirt, and a black and red tartan skirt. Fishnet tights and black suede boots, lined with wool. Also wears long, black fingerless gloves.
Gender: Female
Home Town: Ecruteak city
Pokemon Team: Absol Lv.25 (nicknamed 'Fenrir') Houndour Lv. 23 (Nicknamed 'Garm') Charmeleon Lv.20 (Nicknamed 'Ragnarok') and Ponyta Lv.20 (nicknamed 'Sleipnir')
Bio: Raseri is a strange young woman, whose history is pretty unknown. Claiming to have hailed from Ecruteak, there is little evidence to support this. Her personality and mindset fluctuate and change frequently, being happy and up in your face one minute, down in the dumps the next, and as always, secretive and mysterious. Her pokemon aren't exactly normal either, as they have some slight physical differences to regular pokemon of their species, yet these are only evident in discolouration.

NPCS

The powerful champion of the Pokemon League, he hails originally from Blackthorn City. Calm, cool and mysterious, he seems to have ulterior motives for taking on the Pokemon League so ruthlessly and at such an early age...


A group of mysterious powerful trainers; their goals are rather unclear, but they have been appearing everywhere in the Johto region. Rumors say that there are 13 members in all who mask their faces and use special nicknames.


A mysterious woman with too-blue eyes who appears every now and again. Who is she and what does she want from the trainers she appears to?
