G'luck 'n happy writing all.

Sorry to see you go, Wispyr.  I wish you luck in your games.  Thanks for offering to send a couple of people over to take a peek.   :-)




Alright, there are now two open spaces left!  We have one male and three female characters if anyone is interested in knowing.  If anyone has questions, please don't be afraid to ask!

Here is my interest post


Name:Noah Knaught
Gender:Male
Age: 18
Orientation: Hetero
Home Region: Kanto- Hometown-Saffron
Team: Volgia (Arcanine)- Nickname: Volg. Tough, proud, and loyal are what designates this fast friend. Never the one to waver, regardless of opponent. Do not look him in the eyes as he views it as a sign of aggression and a show of dominance. Otherwise friendly when spoken to on the same ground level. Meaning that Volgia knows the different tones that humans can make and can understand when it's being talked down to... Don't do that. Very protective of Noah and childhood friend. Has a fierce appearance due to the many attacks it has suffered both in and out of battling other pokemon.
Personality:  A quiet calm person. Noah typically takes in his surroundings before he enacts on a decision. The logical sort of person that likes to plan ahead. Very confident in his choices when he makes them. However, he does possess a neutral personality, wavering between black and white when it suits him. Though when it comes to his friend Volg, there is never any question of loyalty or integrity. Other than Volg, Noah rarely lets anyone be privy to his internal thoughts and sometimes seems very quiet in company. Often he will separate himself from others for the simple sake of privacy. He however, is interested in information and will always listen closely or watch as events unfold. Though he has a sense of humor when it can be pried.
Biography: Living in the melting pot Saffron City, Noah spent most of his life as a orphan among the busy atmosphere. For most of his life he was among the beggars of the city, begging for a better life. Though he never truly attended school, he was usually curious and found himself overhearing lectures and typical understanding of society. Though still very unsure of the world before him, he used what knowledge he had to become a information broker as a young child. Sometimes this would get him into trouble but for the most part, a small adolescent was overlooked with the added understanding that he lived the the life of the street. It was during this time that he had found a Growlithe that lay injured near a dumpster, the only indication that he had a owner was the big red letter R on the collar. Scars would be noticeable along with missing patches of fur. Noah had seen this before and thought it would not last the night until one wounded eye opened and Noah saw the what he himself at the time desperately needed: strength. Even as badly injured as the Growlithe was, it did not give up on life, but it still needed help. It was then that Noah found his first friend.

Nursing the badly pokemon took some time as Noah could not afford to see the poke-center and it did not look like the Growlithe would not be able to walk correctly again. However, with each passing week, and slow tortuous rehabilitation, the Growlithe made a full recovery. To support this, Noah worked in whatever job he could find that would hire a child, driven by the desire to care something else besides himself. It was a learning experience that Noah would remember with fondness as his first passionate drive for something meaningful. Growlithe however, proved to be a stubborn companion as it always seemed to be very proud, only seeking what accommodations that was best suited. Later Noah would realize that it drove him to these places not for it's own narcissism but because Growlithe wanted his owner to be more respectable. This would escalate until Growlithe was satisfied and Noah found some measure of pride for the first time in his life as he by the end of it could support himself without the need to beg.

This matched with Growlithe's never wavering personality eventually would spark the need to combat themselves for a better way of life. Eventually challenging the Saffron Gym leader... to their horrible defeat. However, this produced a opportunity for Noah as Sabrina took him under his wing and helped him discover how to truly fight with Growlithe. Strangely, even as Sabrina was was a psychic specialist, Noah was able to master the basics and developed Growlithe's skills over the course of battles that challenged the gym in repayment for Sabrina's empathy.

After a few years of this and when Noah became of true age to leave, he did so with his thanks and Growlithe evolved to Arcanine, and with that he would only allow his name to be changed to Volgia. Noah vowed that when he returned, he would defeat Sabrina. Though he did not simply set out, he knew from his information brokering that there was a new frontier and with Sabrina's blessing only then did he make preparations.
Bag Contents:A sleeping bag, 10 Pokeballs, 5 Potions, some Pokemon food, a gourd to fill with water. Traveling clothes, and rations of his own.
Ons/Offs: Ain't got that. The character is Vanilla.

So grant me one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, then to HELL with you!

Hey, aorangi3!

The character looks good!  I just have a couple of questions and points before I can accept him.

If I understand correctly, Noah isn't one to make decisions on a whim and will take every chance he can get, even if the chance is underhanded?  I would like to point out that while a somewhat brooding character is good to have, if he makes every effort to separate himself from others, it would make him difficult to interact with.

By my understanding of this, the Growlith had an 'R' branded on it and has a scar over one of it's eyes?  If that is so, does the Arcanine it has become still have the 'R' on it's body?  Is it blind in the eye that was scarred?

Just wanted to note that Pokemon Centers are free when it comes to healing a Pokemon, but rooms and board cost money.  Also, did Sabrina give Noah a Fire Stone to evolve Growlith?  Or did Noah purchase one himself?

I think that's about it for my questions.

Underhanded is a bit strong, but basically he is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Also there will be social interaction, but he plays his cards close to his chest. Not really broody but quiet.

I actually misspelled "Collar" with color I think. Growlithe had a Collar with a red R on it.

As for scars, they are more around the body but he does favor that particular eye. I was going to role-play that bit, but yes he can see with both. There is no brand.

Hmm, I was under the impression that PokeCenters were a 'free health-care' type of thing to where the city pays taxes for it. After all, the particular Poke-centers are run by the Silph company in Saffron especially. Noah never really having a residence nor could pay taxes within the city and would not be able to afford it. Maybe I was attempting some form of realism in something that doesn't need it?

Also I transitioned the evolve process off screen. Noah did buy one.

Out of curiosity, would six points get me a Nidorino and Carvanha?
Considering a permanent retirement from Elliquiy, but you can find me on Blue Moon (under the same username).

Fair enough.  So, Noah isn't afraid to do what needs doing if it comes down to it, but plays on a need-to-know basis.  Might get him in trouble, but that works!

Ah, alright.  Thanks for clarifying.

Well, it doesn't actually say so anywhere, but I always assumed that the Joys were extremely rich and spent all of their time healing for free.  That's not to say that the Saffron Pokemon Center isn't run by the Silph Company in that way though.

Alright, just wanted to be sure.

Hello, Mathim!

Six points would indeed get you those two.  However, do note that Pokemon such as Carvana will be rather limited and vulnerable should there be no water available for them to move in.

But I couldn't have a Sharpedo or Nidoking for that amount of points...shucks. Those are my two faves.

You can have a Nidoking OR a Sharpedo for six points, but not both.  Fully evolved Pokemon are all six points with a select few exceptions.

@aorangi3:  You can go ahead and post him in the Character Thread and drop by the OOC to say hi!

I shall be starting the game by Monday at the latest.  When I do, if the sixth space hasn't been filled, you will still have a little time before I close the game to new applicants and it continues with five trainers.
