EDIT - Making a oneshot/writing thread, so this no longer needs to be here since it will be there. Made these for the Turf Wars RP I'm running on another site, you can find the link in the RP board. Merc is my OC, everything else, I tried to stay close to canon while filling in the gaps. Post comments in this thread. Team Rocket Boss: Giovanni Admins: Archer, Ariana, Proton, Petrel Origin: Kanto Most known for their takeover of the Johto radio tower, Team Rocket can appear like bumbling idiots, but the higher ups are sneaky, successful criminals. They’ve done murders and trafficking of illegal substances. Their boss was once a gym leader in Kanto, and he balanced that with his criminal enterprise shockingly well. He once had a lover: a redheaded Silph Co secretary named Roselle. She did a good job of hiding the relationship from her coworkers. But when she became pregnant, she knew the secret would be out if she didn’t act fast. She quit her job, fled the city of Saffron, and changed her name to Scarlet. Giovanni allowed her to live with him in his mansion. He actually looked forward to having a child, someone he could train to follow in his footsteps someday. The child was born with his mother’s fiery colored hair, and piercing silver eyes from a more distant ancestor, so he was named Silver. But Giovanni thought the eye color came from elsewhere...he thought Roselle/Scarlet had cheated on him. The resulting rage from him made her take the baby and run. She fled to Johto and settled in Cherrygrove, where Silver grew into a troubled teen due to the lack of a father figure in his life. The highest ranking admins are Archer and Ariana. Archer is Giovanni’s right hand man. Cold and calculating, he comes up with quite a few ideas for heists that Giovanni likes. The infamous Lake of Rage incident with the red gyarados was his idea. Ariana has the men in the team wrapped around her finger. She’s a femme fatale type who can make a male Rocket grunt do anything she wants with just a sultry gaze and a command. It only works on the grunts though, Giovanni’s immune to it and Archer will just try to argue with her the majority of the time. Ariana's act normally works on Petrel because he's somewhat gullible and dimwitted, and worked on Proton just once, but not any more. Proton is almost constantly trying to stop Petrel from letting her manipulate him. It's unknown why Giovanni keeps Petrel in his rank, but he must have his reasons. Team Magma Boss: Maxie Admins: Tabitha, Courtney Origin: Hoenn Team Magma is a small nuisance to law enforcement, they haven’t done anything more major than robbing banks and stealing vehicles. There are rumors of them being violent, but they have yet to be proven. Their boss is a sharp dressed business man, but surprisingly, he began life in the Fallarbor countryside as part of a farm family. His parents expected him to inherit the farm, but Maxie was more ambitious. He went to college and got a degree in enviromental studies. Meanwhile his parents’ farming business went under, they couldn’t afford to keep it going with the rising prices of everything. It was then that Maxie started the team. His main dream of expanding the landmass goes along with his rural roots. If there’s more land, there will be more space and opportunity for the agriculture industry. This is in direct opposition to Team Aqua. The two teams clash and sometimes they get violent and there has been a few fatalities. Admin Tabitha is a man with a temper to match his height. Maxie often uses him as someone who “gets rid of obstacles”, meaning he sends him out to deal with people who become direct threats to the team. He’s loyal like a mightyena, complete with the “fangs”. The other admin is a woman named Courtney, who is well educated like Maxie and helps him with the tech, blueprints, etc. She’s loyal too, but prefers to let others do the dirty work. Team Aqua Boss: Archie Admins: Matt, Shelly Origin: Hoenn Unlike their rival, Team Aqua is a good sized nuisance. They act like pirates, terrorizing anyone on a boat or in the water and sometimes they use force to steal a boat they like. The coast guard has to deal with their antics. Their boss, Archie, is a rough and tumble former sailor. He grew up in Slateport and fell in love with the sea. All life comes from the sea, so he wants to see it expanded, and despite his underlings stealing fishing boats, he's pro fisherman. He seems to go back and forth on the welfare of sea pokemon, however. He calls things like tentacools and anything that steals fish from nets "pests", wailmers are "big and stupid", but sharpedos are "noble predators". Archie once saved the life of a shipwrecked man who washed up on the coast of an island outside of Slateport. He found him unconscious and arranged for him to be airlifted to the nearest hospital. The man didn't remember where he came from, but he remembered his name was Matt. Matt figured he owed Archie his eternal gratitude and is now an Aqua admin. He works beside Admin Shelly, a fisherman's daughter who has always been a rebel at heart. Team Galactic Boss: Cyrus Admins: Saturn, Mars, Jupiter, Charon Origin: Sinnoh A team that focuses on space, energy, and the like. They're viewed mostly as a "weird cult" and aren't usually taken seriously. They steal pokemon and can get violent, but mostly they just do rituals to appease their "dark lord Giratina", which sometimes, but not always, require a sacrificial pokemon victim. Some people think they sacrifice humans, but this has yet to be proven. Their boss was an orphan, and has always been antisocial. When he was growing up in foster care he spent the majority of the time holed up by himself reading about the wonders of the universe. As an adult, Cyrus is still interested in outer space and the energy that comes from it, solar energy etc. All the electricity Team Galactic uses comes from solar panels. They scoff at coal and even wind power. When someone gets an admin role in Team Galactic, they get a code name related to space. The highest ranking admins are Slater "Saturn" and Marion "Mars". Their son Merc, short for Mercury, is closer to his parents than to the Galactic boss, but that's expected, Cyrus has never liked kids, even though Merc is a teen now. Mars is the dominant one in the relationship, her temper can be short and she's generally not as calm as Saturn or even their son. She was promoted first and bonded with Saturn over their duties and his way up the ranks. He's more passive, but has a slight ego. His talent speaks for itself, he was made an admin for that sole reason. The other two admins are Charles "Charon" and Jewel "Jupiter". Charon is the oldest, older than even Cyrus by a decade or two. He's bitter at having "young whippersnappers" being the higher ranked admins, but perfectly fine with Cyrus where he is. He spends most of his time doing anything science related and normally leads the research projects. Jupiter keeps to herself mostly and it's clear that she and Mars don't get along, rumored to be because she was interested in Saturn and didn't get him, but they clashed even before that. Team Plasma Boss: Ghetsis Admins: Zinzolin, Gorm, Bronius, Rood, Giallo, Ryoku Origin: Unova Team Plasma claims to be against pokemon cruelty, saying it's cruel to be a trainer, but they are trainers too. In reality they're just saying "nobody but us should be allowed to train pokemon". People see them as the hypocrites they are. They steal pokemon and attempt to spread their propaganda through intimidation. Their boss is a sly one with many layers. He once adopted an orphan and named him Natural Harmonia, N for short. Ghetsis raised N to believe he was his birth father. The boy was pampered and his head was filled with the false goals of Team Plasma, the liberation of all pokemon. In reality Ghetsis was aiming for world domination, being the power hungry man he is. N eventually found out the truth, fled the team, and was labeled as a traitor. He aims to help pokemon in his own way. Ghetsis doesn't pursue him, he doesn't see him as enough of a threat, just a disobedient little scamp who's not worth it. Ghetsis, along with the admins, were once called the "seven sages". N was the leader before he left, or rather he was being groomed to be. Out of the remaining six, Zinzolin has the most authority and acts as Ghetsis' second in command. He shares his sly and manipulative nature. Team Flare Boss: Lysandre Admins: Xerosic, Aliana, Bryony, Celosia, Mable Origin: Kalos A team with a big ego, they aim to "make the world beautiful" and shun anything they find ugly. According to them, some people are better/more beautiful than others. The best kind of people in their eyes have light skin and bright, exotic looking natural hair colors. Reds and oranges are the best of the best. Nobody who doesn't fit those standards can join, and there's also a high entry fee. Their boss, Lysandre, was born to a rich couple who owned multiple cafes in Lumiose. He was an only child because his parents had fertility issues, and he was two months early and tiny and weak. His parents spoiled him rotten and he grew up believing he could do no wrong and the world should bow down to rich people such as himself. He only had one close friend, Xerosic, who also had rich parents. That was until they made a business deal with someone from Johto. The plan was to joint own their company and both sides would get a profit, but the Johto native ripped them off and they no longer own the company and get no profit from it. The incident made Lysandre and Xerosic begin to see other regions' natives as slimey, untrustable, inferior people. Team Flare mainly operates in Kalos and attacks tourists, sometimes with words, sometimes physically with anything from fists to knives to guns. They have an interest in going elsewhere, but see their home region as the most beautiful. Team Skull Boss: Guzma Admin: Plumeria Origin: Alola The least organized team, it's more like a group of troublemaking street urchins than anything. They do vandalism, shoplifting, sometimes drug dealing, and assaults. Many members come from broken homes and foster care, but some are just rebels with a "f the police" attitude. The only admin is the daughter of a biker who gets in trouble with the law himself at times. The leader had a rough childhood, with an alcoholic father and a mother who was too meek and passive to do anything to make the situation better. Guzma and Plumeria met at an early age and have always been close. Guzma started the team in his late teenage years as a way to lash out at everyone who had made his life miserable: his parents and the authority figures who constantly called him things like "rotten kid" and "little punk". He made Plumeria his second in command for obvious reasons. Their relationship is strictly platonic. He expressed an interest in her once by using a stupid pick up line, but she was seeing someone else at the time. She's single now but he just sees her as a trusted ally these days.

@Erureido I never thought of Archer counting. For an RP on another site (that I'm still trying to bring to life), I made him a sly, cold, calculating type. Ariana became a femme fatale who's always trying to use charm to get her way/manipulate. It worked on Proton just once, Giovanni and Archer are immune to it, and Petrel's Ariana's lap dog lol. He doesn't seem like the brightest crayon in the box... I thought Cyrus was an orphan?

It's sad, but I don't see why you yourself would be scared. Your explanation was vague at best, without knowing what religion you are I can't see it, but you don't have to tell me of course. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia etc like to whine and be offended and act like children. A cartoonist drew Muhammad and the newspaper he worked for had their office attacked. A little girl named a teddy bear Muhammad and the teacher got death threats. I don't know what the cartoon had in it that made them so angry but the teddy bear incident...seriously? How can a little girl possibly be committing "blasphemy" by naming her toy? It's ridiculous. No other religion that I know of has people like that. I don't hate Muslims and I don't think they're all terrorists. Just...yeah. Even the most hardcore nutjob Christians don't do that. Somebody can draw Jesus and they're perfectly okay with it. Just another example of why we're so lucky to not live in the middle east...

((everyone's ahead of me, I'll graciously bow out, getting too confusing for my liking))

@Trymer I updated the growth rates and kept the stats the same. I think 325 is a good total for growths...it was the total for the hawk class so I just used it for all of them. Honestly your system suggestion confused me a little, so I'm keeping it simple.

No female hawks either. I suppose I'll just use PoR's or the generic enemy RD ones. Also, a common heron would likely be different than a royal, since they're the soldiers, their defense and maybe resistance might be slightly better. If you're confused, Torrel isn't my only one, I have three more in an earlier post.

((Am I allowed to kick the button even though I wasn't the one who discovered it, instead trying to scoot the chair?))

/try to move chair by dragging/moving feet

I like that idea, Trymer. I might redo the stats and growths of mine when I feel like doing math/if OP wants it.

((that feeling when you come back to SF after months to a year and see your forum game still alive)) Probably Soren, he wouldn't care enough to spill it. WCWY go to a water park with?

Gryphondog.

I see! That's interesting. But are you a big bulky person or no?

Decided, why not add my tiger so I can have two in each arc I'm in...I still hope you allow my heron. Name: Torrel Gender: female Age: late 20s in beorc years Race: laguz(beast) Arc: 2 Role: ally of Gallian prince/soldier Class: tiger Weapons: sharp claw, long fang Growths: STR 70% DEF 60% MAG 5% RES 30% SPD 40% SKL 45% LCK 30% HP 45% Total: 325 Stats: STR 19 DEF 17 MAG 11 RES 14 SPD 14 SKL 16 LCK 13 HP 33 Skills: wrath Backstory: A soldier of Gallia, has a bit of a dislike for beorc because of what happened to her younger sister. Her sister was caught by slavers and killed in the resulting struggle. She knows not all beorc are that way but has a hard time trusting them regardless. Volunteered to help search for the king because she feels it's her duty. Appearance: Bulky and stocky, like all tigers. Hair is wild and messy. These things make her appear male to outsiders, but Gallians can tell the difference. Her hair is gold and she often wears a blue headband to keep it out of her gray eyes. Also wears a black leather outfit with boots. Shifted, she's a gold tiger with dark gold stripes and a lighter gold tiger mane.

I used action replay a lot for Pokemon, but not for FE. You could check to see if anyone's made a code for that.

Well if it helps, my two act 1 chars are supposed to be together and it would be hard for me to just use one. I would prefer you allow him, he's not op or anything and we can easily say there were a few more survivors. They can still be rareish.

I can certainly down the prices, what would be best? They're all completely readable still but I can see the point. Shin, you do have to be logged into facebook to see the links.

Awesome, just checking since I wasn't sure if you'd allow herons. Now how do you plan on handling the acts? All at the same time in separate topics and then a joined thing?

Am I in?

I have accumulated lots of books over the years and need a little extra cash (who doesn't?) I had a lot more but these are the ones that didn't disappear. They range in price from $10 to $25 and most of them are in sets of two, three, or four. If you're interested tell me you're from SF on the Facebook thing. Google Wallet is the preferred payment method but I will accept checks in the mail. Dragon lovers' set Redwall set Series of Unfortunate Events set Maximum Ride set Warrior Cats set Wicked The Hobbit Tale of Despearaux Percy Jackson set

Ugh, Smogon... I guess if you guys want to, go ahead :)

You never answered my question about if common herons are allowed. I'd assume since it's a century later maybe the heron population has gotten back to normal? I'll put all three of mine anyway. I think appearance should be added, so I did, and I included height and weight in there. Name: Strixal Gender: female Age: mid 20s in beorc years Race: laguz(bird) Arc: 1 Role: Helper/ally of the people running the sanctuary. Class: hawk Weapons: sharp talon, hooked beak Growths: STR 40% DEF 35% MAG 5% RES 20% SPD 65% SKL 75% LCK 40% HP 45% Total: 325 Stats: STR 14 DEF 13 MAG 9 RES 10 SPD 14 SKL 15 LCK 11 HP 32 Skills: canto, shade(I know the game has it beorc only but it fits her) Backstory: A former laguz pirate, she was born into that lifestyle and saw the light one day when the owner of a ship handed over his gold and begged to be spared because he had a wife and kids at home. After she left the crew, she was on her own, and the bird laguz pirates would sometimes harass and attack her. After one of those attacks, she ended up on the coast of Begnion and was found by a common heron man, who used his galdr to help her regain her stamina. The two of them became fast friends. They work together as allies of the sanctuary. Appearance: Smaller and scrawnier than the average hawk, which in turn gives her above average speed and skill, but not as much as that of a raven. Hair is light blue, straight, and shoulder length, eyes are purple. Feathers are mostly tan, but she has brown tail feathers and head tuft shifted. Wears a simple red tunic with pants and light boots. Name: Keanu Gender: male Age: mid 20s in beorc years Race: laguz(bird) Arc: 1 Role: Helper/ally of the people running the sanctuary. Class: heron Weapons: shining spell(galdr that can be used in combat like light magic) Growths: STR 20% DEF 25% MAG 60% RES 50% SPD 45% SKL 45% LCK 60% HP 20% Total: 325 Stats: STR 10 DEF 12 MAG 17 RES 18 SPD 14 SKL 13 LCK 15 HP 29 Skills: canto, blessing, galdr Backstory: A common blue heron. Common herons are the soldiers of Serenes, since the Serenes massacre they have started to take precautions and focus a bit on offensive magic. The galdr of the common herons is comparable to light magic, and they can revitalize as well, but that's about it, they can't do the more advanced galdrs of the royals. He's a Serenes soldier/guard for the royals, and one day he befriended a former hawk pirate. They are both allies to the sanctuary. Appearance: About average build for a heron, somewhat small and light. Short light green hair, ice blue eyes. Feathers are a sky blue, and shifted he has an ocean blue face, throat, and chest. Wears a khaki colored cloth tunic, pants, light boots. Name: Rannoc Gender: male Age: late teens in beorc years Race: laguz(dragon) Arc: 2 Role: ally of Gallian prince/ambassador Class: red dragon Weapons: fire breath, dragon fang Growths: STR 45% DEF 35% MAG 40% RES 40% SPD 50% SKL 55% LCK 30% HP 30% Total: 325 Stats: STR 18 DEF 16 MAG 16 RES 14 SPD 15 SKL 15 LCK 10 HP 35 Skills: counter Backstory: The son of a dragon tribe general, he acts as an ambassador due to his friendly nature. He can be a troublemaker or prankster at times and he's a bit of a pyro, but he's loyal to his allies and skilled on the battlefield, so the Gallian prince values him. Appearance: Average build for a dragon of his age, which would be similar to a stocky beorc man. Short, dark blue hair, brown eyes. Dragon mark is above his left eye. Shifted, he's a bright crimson with dark red horns and claws, and his belly and wing membranes are reddish orange. Wears a vest over a simple shirt, pants, boots, and simple leather gloves.

Yeah, this.

I think his quirk of being unnoticable is kinda...unrealistic. He's a big armor knight. How could you miss him? I mean he's quiet and softspoken, but that doesn't mean he's literally invisible. But I do lol at that stray horse kicking butt on its own.

Omg, that sounds like my dragon laguz, Rannoc. He's a pyro lol. But atm he's still in Goldoa xD

Well this is good to know! If you had taken your life it would be bad. I still have the character you created in my fanfic...I might've tried to reach you regarding that and you wouldn't replied and I would wonder why. Here's hoping you keep improving!
