Where did you hear about us: Googling around for pixelmon rp.
Tell us a little about yourself: I am a massive genderfluid scottish nerd/dungeon master who gushes over all things pokemon.

-Roleplay Questions-
[ Please use your own words. ]

What is roleplaying?

Roleplaying is a way for people to explore stories and identities outside of themselves. It allows people from different backgrounds to bond over a common love without feeling pressured to disclose their real backstory. Though with the right people, a roleplay community can lead to life long friendships outside of the games we play.

What is meta-gaming?

Meta-gaming is a sometimes unintentional (though unfortunetaly sometimes not) break in the immersion of a story, with a character being privy to knowledge that they should not otherwise have.

What is power-gaming / god-modding?

Power-gaming is an unfair balance of power in a roleplay between two or more participants, where one person controls the flow of the narrative in their favour. It ruins the experience for roleplaying, not allowing a person to fairly control the actions of their own character, while allowing the power-gamer to perform actions that may break immersion or allow for actions that other participants don't agree with.

What is retroactive continuity? (retcon):

Retconning, when used appropriately, is a good way to correct roleplay mistakes such as unintentional meta-gaming. With the permission of other participants, it can also allow you to tweak things about your character that you perhaps did not realise you wanted to explore at the time, but should always be done with the consent and approval of the other participants, and never done out of the blue IC before being discussed OOC.

What is the difference between in-character (IC) and out-of-character (OOC)?

IC is the way two characters interact within the fiction of the rp. OOC is the way the people behind the characters interact outside said rp.

Do you have previous experience playing on a RP server? (This won’t affect your acceptance)

Not a server, but I have many years of both player and DM experience within a few TTRPGs, both public and home-based.

-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: Felix Drummonds (He/They pronouns)
Age: 24

Appearance: Felix has a medium mess of brown hair and a set of green eyes. They have a two scars visible on their face - one across their nose, the other gracing their left cheek - that seemed to almost connect, like they were always meant to come as a pair. Their face is adorned with a constellation of freckles over their beige skin. While they don't necessarily have a fixed style, their go-to wardrobe choice is that of a green vest under a blue button-up shirt, a pair of jeans and the sturdiest combat boots money can buy. Finally, around their neck is an old keystone, though it seems dull and unused for some time.

Personality: Felix is a bright and talented young person, sociable and caring in all the right ways. They strive not just to be a friend to the people they meet, but a reliable member of the community - someone who can go the little extra mile for the people who need it. Often times, they'll do so at their own detriment, though in more recent years they've gotten better at remembering to look after theirself with some therapy and a little help from Echo. When they aren't socialising, or when they think they are alone, Felix grows quiet and contemplative, sometimes strumming absent mindedly on any instrument they may have on hand. Above all else, Felix has a single policy: everyone deserves kindness, even if they have to earn it.

Biography: Felix was born a few generations after their Emmonian ancestors had moved to Avalon, spending his early years growing up in the Isles before his single father, Oliver, got a big break and was able to move them to Albion. They were never wanting for money, and every penny his father earned, Felix would reap the benefits of in the form of lavish gifts, instruments and tutoring in music and art.

As time went on, Felix's love of the musical arts was rivalled only by his desire to become a Pokemon trainer, perhaps even a gym leader. Soon enough, just a few years ago, he achieved just that, opening a unique gym themed around music and dance alongside his team and helmed by his ever trusted Audino, Mega Stone and all.

Their dream, however, was a short-lived one. The gym was shut down when it could no longer be funded. As it turns out, the reason Felix was able to have such a rich and full childhood was all thanks to the fact their father had fallen in with the wrong crowd, embezzling money through fraud to feed a lifestyle that would normally never be theirs. After Felix was found to be innocent, he was allowed to walk free, but his reputation was already ruined.

Felix was aimless for the past few years, even giving up battling altogether. He put up most of his team for adoption, even his darling Audino, Decible. He keeps the keystone from those days next his heart at all times, even now. The only reminder of those days was a single egg that he kept from his Noivern, which hatched into his now constant companion, Echo. No longer alone, Felix decided that if he was truly going to leave his reputation in Avalon behind, he would leave the region altogether, bringing him to his new life that awaits in the Toro region...

Flaws: Felix is a very trusting person. Though not a flaw by itself, it often leads them to have a forgiving nature for people who may not neccessarily deserve it. They're also a bit aimless, not quite sure what to make of themselves in this new chapter of their life.

Ambitions: Felix has no ambitions in particular. His dream of a gym leader seems... tainted by his past, and he isn't sure if it's truly what he wants any more. More than anything, Felix desires to find his own way in the world, and become someone, something, through the sweat of his own brow.

Starter Pixelmon: Echo the Noibat (Female/Naive/Huge/Infiltrator)
Skin: Currently in the works! (Thank you Luna <3)

-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?

Felix was taken aback for a moment, but his hesitation lasted only that - a moment. Though he moved slowly and reassuringly, Echo had already wordlessly understood her trainer's desire to help, flitting into the treetop to ensure the Meowth was uninjured as Felix kneeled next to the girl and smiled reassuringly. "Hey, hey. It's gonna be okay. Echo over there is going to make sure it's safe for me to climb up, and then I promise I'll get your Meowth down as soon as I can." He offered his hand to the girl, his expression soft and warm. "I'm Felix, and I won't let anything bad happen to either of you, okay?"


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?

Felix began to tense a little, their breath catching in their throat. "O-oh, of course." Even as the said it, they were already hesitating. Would she know who he was? What people back home had said about him? The reputation that he so desperately wanted nothing to do with?

Echo gave their cheek a gentle slap, squeaking a little in worry as Felix blinked and realised they had been standing their not saying anything for too long. Echo was right, none of that mattered right now. After this, he would have his chance to become someone new. Someone who wouldn't hesitate. "I'm sorry about that. Felix Drummonds. As for where I'm going, I'd hoped you might have some suggestions?"
