Post: # 15966Post IonicRetro »

-Player Questions-
Minecraft Username: Ionic_Retro
Discord Username: (If applicable! To help us contact you if we need to) Retro.exe#7876
Age: 20
Where did you hear about us: (If it was from a friend it helps to say which one) Friend, King_Cryptid_0
Tell us a little about yourself: I went to college majoring in EET though decided not to continue down that path. I have a passion for programming. I sometimes do art as a hobby. I currently roleplay on another server called Book of Ventura. I enjoy roleplaying for fun when I have the time.

-Roleplay Questions-
[ Please use your own words. ]
What is roleplaying?
Roleplay is a hobby that is done for fun. Some people use it as an escape from reality. I would consider roleplay as acting as another person in another setting.

What is meta-gaming?
Meta-gaming is the usage of information which is not known by the character in roleplay but is known by the player who is playing the character.

What is power-gaming / god-modding?
Power-gaming is the enforcement of a move as if it is undodgeable. It’s closely related to forcing roleplay actions upon someone, such as forcing someone to take a hit to the face without giving the chance for dodging or blocking.

What is retroactive continuity? (retcon):
Retconning is when known facts or lore is ignored or replaced with new lore or facts.

What is the difference between in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC)?
In Character is when you act like the character you roleplay as, and must be careful not to speak about things that would otherwise be considered metagaming or hold grudges against characters people play because you do not like oocly. Out of character is when you can speak as yourself, but one shouldn’t cause conflict oocly for in character reasons.

Do you have previous experience playing on a RP server? (This won’t affect your acceptance)
I have played on many roleplay servers, specifically minecraft roleplay servers. I’ve tried discord roleplay but they usually don’t last much longer than a month or two.

-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: Mark Holmes
Age: 20

Appearance: Mark’s dirty brown hair covers his forehead, jutting out in almost every direction in a messy pile on his head. His deep green eyes focus on the minute details of whomever he is speaking to. His face, fair skinned with little in the way of deviations, never contorts into a grin or big smile. His trenchcoat reaches down below his knees, left unbuttoned to show off a white buttoned shirt and a bright red tie. Black pants cover his legs, held up by an equally black belt with a silver buckle. His boots are brown, dirtied slightly from his walking throughout the city.

Personality: Mark is a rather chilly individual, but when he is talking about something he’s enthused about one can see a glint in his eye. Mark enjoys the idea of detective work, wanting to one day join up with the police force and chase down bad guys, as childish that may sound. He tends to bottle up emotions, faking his emotionless appearance until he is somewhere private, or with a trusted friend where he can vent out his day’s problems. This often gives an outward appearance of disinterest or unlikability, when it is the complete opposite. Mark loves listening to people, but sometimes it can be too much, so he does value solidarity.

Biography: Mark was born in Celadon City in the Kanto region where he spent most of his life. Mark’s father was part of the local police force and often told stories about the more safe for children cases he would be put on. Mark idolized his father and wanted to become a police officer just like him from a very young age. When Mark was still a child he loved to travel outside of town into the tall grass and forests to see the wild pokemon, of course his mom would escort him with her own pokemon in case one of them dared try and touch her precious child. Mark had trouble making friends in school, and being an only child caused him to be a tad lonely at times.

One time, late at night, Mark couldn’t sleep so he snuck out of his parent’s house to go watch wild pokemon to keep his mind off of things. Unluckily for him, he lived near where Murkrows often hang out. One caught his eye with a shiny and he mistakenly decided to follow the Murkrow deep into the forest. It was a prank, however, and Mark became lost in the forest as the Murkrow flew away. Mark became infused with such anguish as he realized the situation he was put in that all he could do was sit down and start crying. This wasn’t how the Murkrow thought it would go, and the pranking bird came back and gave Mark the shiny object, a silver button, and showed Mark back to the path. With tears in his eyes, Mark ran home as fast as he could. However, whenever he looked at the silver button, he felt like he should go back, and so he did. One night, now a little older, he snuck out again to go back to where he saw the Murkrow. He waited, and in no time the same Murkrow came with a new shiny object to try and lead him into the forest. Mark knew now not to follow the Murkrow and instead held up the silver button, hoping it was the same Murkrow all that time ago. The Murkrow instantly recognized Mark with the shiny silver button and started to fly away when Mark yelled out to it, hoping to befriend the Murkrow instead of scaring it. The Murkrow parched on a branch, looking down upon Mark for several minutes of Mark talking at it, until eventually it came down, happily, and sat next to Mark. It appeared Mark wasn’t the only one who had trouble making friends. Every night after, Mark would visit the Murkrow, the pokemon giving Mark trinkets it found, until eventually the Murkrow brought a pokeball to Mark. At first Mark was confused, but as Murkrow continued to tap the pokeball it seemed clear that their friendship and bond became strong enough that the Murkrow wished to have Mark become its trainer. So, Mark captured the Murkrow in the pokeball, often leaving the Murkrow free as he somewhat disliked the idea that pokemon be kept in pokeballs for a majority of their life. Mark’s parents were astonished as they woke up to a Murkrow as a pet the next morning, but they grew to accept the new houseguest as a part of the family.

Mark finished his schooling and thought of becoming a police officer, but the local police force was already overstaffed as there has been very little crime in his city as of lately, so he decided to look to become a police officer elsewhere. He’s traveled throughout Kanto but decided to search further abroad for people in need. Upon learning of the toro region, Mark decided that he would try and make that place his home as it appeared to be beautiful on the postcards.


Flaws: Mark appears somewhat intimidating, especially with his tan trench coat and Murkrow sitting on his shoulder, which sometimes causes others to be frightened or wary of his presence. Mark is slow to react, he enjoys puzzle solving but often takes too long to think about the options in order to get the correct option. He also has difficulty deciding when he is given multiple options and no information or time to tell which would be the correct option to pick, sometimes even panicking. Mark also has a small social meter and can be seen almost physically exhausted if forced into conversation for too long. Mark’s ambition to be a protector often ends with him biting off more than he can chew.

Ambitions: Mark wants to join up in the local police force and become a hero in his own eyes. His goal is to help people in need and stop the bad guys. His opinion is that the law should be upheld as long as the law is to protect the people or pokemon.

-Open Response Questions-
-Write in third person!-
[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?
Mark is surprised as the little girl runs up to him crying. He nods to the girl’s plea and bends down to eye level with her. “Hey now, everything will be alright. Show me where the tree is.” He’d follow the little girl to the tree and look up to see Meowth. Quite precarious how the pokemon found itself up there. Mark looks to his shoulder where a Murkrow sat. “Alright Duscar, go up there and see if the Meowth will let you fly it down.” Duscar nods and flies up, seemingly talking to Meowth for a moment before gliding down with Meowth in his clutches. “Good job Duscar!” Mark digs into his pocket where he’d pull out a bag of poke-treats, tossing one to Duscar before closing the bag and stuffing it back into the coat.


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 statistical reasons of course.” she asked with a bright smile as she held a pen to her clipboard. How does your character respond?
Mark is surprised by the cheerful woman walking up and welcoming him. He looks around to see if she is talking to anyone else as the stature of a man in a trenchcoat with a Murkrow on his shoulder would seem a little unapproachable, but upon finding nobody else in the vicinity he’d answer. “Well… I am from the Kanto Region, Celadon City specifically. I’ve come here looking to do some good and I plan to go where the bad is so I can help stop it.” Mark brushes his coat off and sticks his hands back into the pockets, nodding slightly to the lady before continuing to walk onwards.


You are walking along the road when your eyes lock onto a trainer 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. How does your character respond?
Mark raises a brow. “Chump?” Duscar Glides off his shoulder to face off against the Rattata. “I think you should look in a mirror before saying things like that. Let’s do this, Duscar!” Mark points forward towards the trainer who challenged him with a stern look on his face as Duscar caws in agreement to what Mark said.
