Age:
Age won’t affect your entry. It's about the quality of your work and the amount of effort you place into it. However, this is a PG13 server and there will be themes that may be deemed inappropriate by parent(s). We leave this to the discretion of those parent(s). If you are under the age of 13, we kindly ask that you ask for your parents' permission before joining.

Where did you hear about us:
Reddit, minecraftforum.net, pixelmonmod forum, minestatus.net, friend or etc. We're just asking out of curiosity but we appreciate you guys for indulging it. If a friend told you about the server, it would be helpful to specify which friend brought you!

Tell us a little about yourself:
Tell us a little bit about yourself. What kind of hobbies do you have? Why are you interested in our server? A sentence or two will do just fine.

What is roleplaying?
Do your best to describe what "roleplaying" means to you. If you are unsure, you can refer to our Support page for more information.

What is retroactive continuity in your own words?
Do your best to describe what "retroactive continuity" or "retcon" means to you. Read this if it's your first time~

What is a Mary Sue in your own words?
Do your best to describe what a Mary Sue is and what it means to you.

What is the difference between in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC)? Provide an example of how you would separate yourself from your character.
In character is the character you're roleplaying. When you are in-character, you should be playing a fictional character; You should be talking like him/her, and acting as he/she would. Your character is not you.

Do you have previous experience playing on a RP server?
Whether you're familiar with RPGs, Dungeons and Dragons, Minecraft RP servers or none at all, it won't affect your entry.

General Character Questions

Full name:
Pick a name! Any name you like.

Age:
Pick an age you feel comfortable role-playing.

Physical description: - One paragraph minimum.
Describe your character's physical appearance. What are their facial features, what type of clothes do they wear, how much do they weigh/how tall are they? Are there any special features on your character (scars, glasses, always wears a Pixelmon cap... etc)?

Personality: - One paragraph minimum.
Describe your character's personality. The question we're asking, really, is who is your character? What is he or she like? Are they competitive by nature or are they shy about battling? Perhaps they're not interested in battling at all! Are they motivated by money or by the thought of stardom? This is your chance to really flesh out your character.

Biography: - One paragraph minimum.
Talk about your character's history. Which region did they come from? What made them decide to move to the Toro Region and what kind of lifestyle did your character live prior to doing so? Is your character's family rich? Or poor? Did they come from a line of well known trainers or breeders? Everybody's got a history, after all!

Flaws:
In one or two sentences, explain the flaws of your character. What are they bad at? Do they have something like a stutter? These flaws add to your character and prevent the creation of a Mary Sue.

Ambitions:
In one to two sentences, describe what your character wishes to achieve in Toro. Do they seek fame? Fortune? Or do they simply want to catch 'em all?

Favorite Pixelmon:
This is your character’s favorite pixelmon; a pixelmon mascot for your character. This is flexible to your character’s story development.

Open Response General - One paragraph minimum
You are walking along Route 2 when your eyes lock onto another trainers' in the distance. At that moment, you both freeze in place. You see a glimmer in the trainer's eyes as he reaches for his Pixelball. "Go, Rattata! Show this chump what we've been training for!" the trainer shouts as he swiftly releases his chosen partner in the vacant space that separates the two of you. What do you do next?

The open response is your chance to show how your character reacts during a roleplayed scene. It is an accumulation of your character's history and personality and will show us that you've put some serious thought into your character creation. If your character is not the type to get involved in a Pixelmon battle, how do they react? If they're shy an timid, what actions do they take to escape from this scenario? Must include dialogue and actions.

Roleplay is done in third person so we ask that you write your open response in third person as well.


Skin:

We need a screenshot of your skin or the skin .png file to make sure your character fits in our world.

You can upload your skin to a site called http://www.imgur.com. They will provide you a link that you can copy and paste for this answer.

If you do not have one, play our default boy or girl. You can always change hairstyles and clothing later on as your character grows!
