-General Character Questions-
[There is a one full paragraph (at least 5 sentences) minimum for the appearance, biography, and personality. This is for each of these parts and not put together. Your first character must come from a region that isn't Toro.]
Full name: Alastor Carter

Age: 19

Appearance: Alastor has ashy brown hair that is wavy and bushy, he tends to come his hair over to the right to polish up his looks to match his tuxedo. Alastor's eyes are dark blue with kind eyes, his eyebrows are quiet fluffy but are a nice shape, his face gives great reference to his eyes as his features also give off a kind vibe. Alastor's tuxedo follows that of a reasonably normal brand but some how comes across quite trendy as it suits Alastors figure, the tuxedo is not accompanied with a blazer rather just waist coat. Alastor has that of a slim but lean body type that tends to compliment all sorts of clothes he could wear. His shoes are just normal, smart, black, leather shoes that are reasonable to run in. Alastor also stands around 6foot in height.

Personality: Alastors personality at heart is kind and stubborn but he can get self absorbed on how he looks. That self absorbed feeling Alastor gets also can make him feel self conscious but he always gets over it when the time calls for it. Alastor can show great passion for Pokemon which helps give him a drive for Pokemon battle victories, this can make him quite cocky and confident but no worries because he isn't a swore looser rather he sees a lot of things as a learning curve. Alastor also can overthink at times, this can sometimes send Alastor into an episode of over analysing stuff making him be quiet at times.

Biography: Alastor was born in the Unova region and he was born in a place known as Castelia City. Alastor for his younger years attended an average school and college to which he studied hospitality within Castelia City. While he was attending his first college year he ended up meeting a trainer by the name of Hudson, Hudson showed Alastor that no matter what age or situation you are in, Pokemon battling can always clear your mind and brighten your spirit. That one day then changed Alators mind by lighting a fire in his heart and soul, this lead Alastor to then become a Pokemon trainer. Alator quit college the next day and decided to run off into the world of Pokemon and start a new beginning. Alastor then ends up in the Toro region because of some elderly Pokemon trainers that he met at Castelia City docks. Alastor would then go off to breath in a big breath of fresh Toro Region air in awe of what is to come for him in this mysterious new place, adventure awaits.

Flaws: Overthinking, night owl, confident/cocky, self absorbed, some of these can also follow as positives as well as negatives. What I mean by this is that overthinking can be used as a positive when it comes to Pokemon battles but this can also back fire as he might over do it in his head. Confident/cocky can also be a positive as he can drive hope for his Pokemon though spirit and ability, confident/cocky can also come across reckless and naive and that is its negatives. Alastor becomes self absorbed when his outfit get ruined as he is extremely aware of how his fashion sense comes across. Alastor is a night owl and this can be a negative because he tends to over sleep a lot and always stays up late at night messing with his internal clock, he also always looking tired.

Ambitions: Alastors ambitions is to find and battle any trainer around once he obtains a Pokemon. *A Pokemon battling adventure, filled with Pokemon friends*

[Respond to at least 2 of the 3 scenarios. There is a one full paragraph (at least 5 sentences) minimum for each of the scenarios you choose, and responses must be written in third person and formatted like RP instead of a description. Like: ' Steve focuses on the girl with a gasp and asks, " How can I help? " ' other than ' Steve would answer the call to help the cat! Feel free to make responses for the NPC in order to meet this requirement.]

---------------------------

You find yourself standing in a bustling town. Suddenly, a small girl runs up to you, her eyes seeming to glisten with fresh tears as her bottom lip quivers. “Please!” She cries out to you, “You must help me! My poor Meowth is stuck in a tree!” She points to a nearby tree as more tears spill out of her eyes and down her cheeks. How does your character respond?


*Alastor* "Of course Ill help you, so you say he's stuck in that tree over there". I rush over to the tree the girl pointed towards "jeez that tree looked a lot smaller from over there but no worries Ill sort this situation out, Meowth I'm coming to help don't worry !!!!". I start to climb the tree with confidence but not even half way up my confidence decided to drop,I think to myself, awww crap I didn't think this all the way through, I could get myself hurt or even worse my suit could get ripped.

*Girl* Shouts with encouragement "You can do it mister I believe in you!!" tears swell in her eyes.

*Alastor* "Ahhh don't you worry I'm on it". I stumble and grip onto the trunk of the tree until I climbed up to the branch to which Meowth was hugging for his dear life "Right Meowth it's time to get you down now" said with a kind and collected voice. I grab and nudge Meowth but he didn't see to budge, so I tried again with a mightly yank to which I then succeeded, my yank was too much and I ended up flipping back first off the tree, saving the Meowth and freeing him from the tree branch "Ahhhhhh, humpt owww!!".

*Girl* "Thank you so much mister for saving my Meowth" I wipe the tears away from my face and skip away with joy and relief.

*Alastor* "Well at least my suit didn't break".

-----------------------

After arriving in Toro a cheerful woman walks up to you, a clipboard in her hand. “Hello and welcome to Toro! I would like to ask where you came from and why you came, as well as where you plan to go. All for for statistical reasons of course.” she asked with a bright smile as she held a pen to her clipboard. How does your character respond?

*Alastor* "Oh Hi, thanks for the warm welcome, ummm, well where do I start".

*Cheerful women* "Lets start with where you came from young man ?!!".

*Alastor* "Well first of all my names Alastor Carter and I was born and raised in Castelia City in the Unova Region, I was studying hospitality at college for a year or so but then my passion moved onto something else". Said with a bright smile and an awkwardly formal tone.

*cheerful women* "Great right let me just write that down" she scribbles down some notes on her clipboard "Okay Alastor, my next question is how come you came to the Toro region ?!!".

*Alastor* "I actually came to the Toro region because of my new found passion for Pokemon training and adventure or you could also say growth but adventure sound a lot more hmmm adventurous". My hand moves to the back of my head and I exhale confidently, a big smile leaps onto my face.

*Cheerful women* "That sounds great Alastor, right my last question issss, where do you plan to go when you are in the Toro region ?!!!".

*Alastor* "Hmm well I guess I will just go where the wind takes me madam, hopefully somewhere with a lot of passion for battling", Calmly said with a determined demeanour.

*Cheerful women* "Thank you a ton Alastor, the names Leah by the way, nice to meet you. This information is great it will sure help me out with my statistics". The women jots down the rest of the information on the clipboard and runs away with an explosive exit.

*Alastor* "Nice to meet you Leah, I guess". Said with a surprised faced yet my eyes still come across kind.

Hi! We're happy to have your interest. Sorry for the delay. I'll get started so you don't have to wait any longer! The character seems cute and I'd love to see him. There's some things that need to be worked on though. Once you've adjusted them feel free to reply, or for a quicker response, let us know in #the-waiting-room on Discord!

• Your description for powergaming / godmodding is incorrect, even if the example given is right. It might be good to look at other apps to see what we're looking for. Retroactive Continuity also needs to be rewritten because it's more than just a fact in a story.
• In personality the wording for this is rather confusing and should be we rewritten and possibly expanded a little on what you mean: "which helps give him stubbornness for succession"
• The flaws themselves are fine, but since you also say they are positives they need to be expanded on. Say how they affect him- or rather, specify how this might hinder him or get him into trouble.
• The skin itself is good- however not quite accurate to the description! You should adjust the skin itself or adjust the appearance section, whichever you'd prefer. You're free to change outfit up later on of course and use the vest one if you change the skin.
• The responses to the open responses needs to be in third person- so without using the word 'I' for actions- you should try and think if you were writing in a book. In a similar manner, you should be using quotes (") around dialogue and not putting asterisks around actions. Also, to make it easier to read: instead of specifying a change of character through asterisks, put the on a new line when you switch characters and include their name in the action. ex:
"Hi! Welcome, let me know if you need help!" Jacob asked with a bright smile.
"I'm alright, thank you though." the customer replied.

Edit: Upon a second pass I noticed some things that slipped passed me which I'll note and DM about on discord.

• Powergaming is right in the example and first part. However, using outside information isn't- that is metagaming.
• Retroactive Continuity is still lacking- a more appropriate thing to say would be changing the facts in the story.
• The open responses are in first person instead of third.

With this said, revoking an application isn't a thing nor would I do it. However, I'm adding this simply as a note of things I missed that would have needed adjustments + things to keep in mind for the future.

With the changes to your app I'll say--

The IP is server.toro-league.com:7777 and you can find links to the Technic Pack or individual mod links in the #rules-and-resources channel of discord, along with most important info. You can always ask if you have any questions or concerns. I can't wait to see you around!
