Welcome to Gaia! ::

I see. Well, it works. I am trying to improve my writing skills a bit as well.

Besides. I want to make each event memorable. I want the characters you've created to learn and grow from each experience. In order to do that we have to slow the pace down and enjoy the ride.

Remember, it isn't the destination thats important, its the journey... or something along those lines.

Haha yeah maybe.

He is human.

Have you guys heard about Astral Projection? Is you read about it, It should make sense of why Czar's a ghost. . . Temporary. It would of made more sense if a Ghost pokemon would ripped his soul out.

I think we all need to sit down and determine what it means to be a character in this rp. I want to hear everyone's thoughts on what you want to be allowed and what we want to outlaw. I for one want to keep things simple. Our characters are human, and though we have differant skills, inherantly each person is human and limited to whatever you can do in real life. Let the pokemon be the special forces and you be the human.

The great thing about limiting what your character can and can't do is that each situation you get into can be solved differantly and you have to get creative sometimes by usng the tools and skills you have. This also alows your character to learn and grow from experiences.

Maybe after a certain event your character breaks his/her leg and has trouble getting around. Now you've introduced an element of weakness that your character has to overcome somehow. Perhaps your character looses their precious water pokemon. Now you've got to figure out a way to get across a raging river the hard way. The point is that you should allow yourself to be helpless once in a while. If you don't then there's really no point in doing this.

I want to hear what you all have to say though. If you want something differant lets discuss your ideas.

Thats a very good thing to bring up. Last night I killed off a pidgey in the team rocket HQ. I wanted to see how people would react to such a cruel abuse of life.

Don't forget though, it is a life. Pokemon are just as alive as you or I (ingame of course). Its nice to think that they live forever but the concept of life and death isn't as estranged from the pokemon world as you might think. For example the Cubone's mother in Lavander town's PokemonTower was dead. Just as the Manga often kills off a poke or two I'd like to incorperate the same thing once in a while. Not to be mean or cruel however, but to give the characters something to consider and experience that is as powerful as can be.

Of course I do respect your thoughts on the matter. Last night was just an experiment to see how people would react. I'd like people feedback on that instance so I can better gauge weather or not to do it again in the future.

Well It didn't phase me to tell you the truth really,

I've been into different Pokemon RPs and well, I sometimes Kill one of my Main characters or on the lines of something like that. It was up to the point where the people actually get into it and well go along with it.

Whenever its cruel abuse, a sense of an ultimatum, or the ultimate sacrifice, I Rped through that many situations to not get phased through the death of a pokemon.

There's a whole back-story of my characters that includes the death of many that I still have yet to uncover.

Well that's that too, but there's something I want to do in this RP if we get there that will hopefully change the mood abit.

also with that statement:

Czar's not almighty, all that's about him is he's well equipped and fights really well. But He's still human and has compassion with his friends. Put in something that will threaten his friends and he will go down in a flash, Also he's dependent of his stuff, if you take away his stuff he only has is his pokemon to defend him as he never shows his power to no one except his Pokemon team.

Rita can't cast spells, she only has the tags she has on her personnel, if you take those away she's a sitting duck.

Molly. . . I got nothing.

As for a character:

A character a little piece of ourselves written into a piece of paper or drawn into a sketch or portrayed in a movie. Its that small piece that gives the character in which we RP to have a little more meaning to ourselves. Sure that character can be human or something else. But the main Idea is that when we create a Character, we add something that's ourselves into it. Along with a few aspects.

Czar:The young, kind, yet sarcastic Youth who loves adventure and Training. He hopes to make new friends and become the best. He lives through a code to never reveal his strength unless though sparring matches with his Pokemon and to protect his friends even if costs him the ultimate sacrifice

Rita:The spiritual Shrine Maiden who has standards and lives a lawful life. She keeps the peace within the Spirit and the human world alongside with keeping the friendship she has with her friends.

Molly:The Friendly, yet klutzy Girl who strives to find the bright side even though things are down. She strives to make the person she loves the most to love her back. Despite her appearance she's a black belt in some martial arts and is willing to knock some heads if she must.

Its these little emotions you put on a character that makes them more then just a mere human or an RP character. I may not be thinking of the same lines as the others, and It might be more complex then what others might think of characters. But that's how I roll.

As for inventions wise I will tone it down. (Light sabers. . . it's kinda weird that there's no Star Wars/Pokemon crossover RP. I could imagine Larvitar being a Yoda like character)

Are we playing the pyp game now?

If I must...
