Pokemon Rocket RP interest thread

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I'm looking at doing an RP with a group of Rocket members in Kanto during the events prior to and during the first game. Anyone interested should PM me and reply to this thread. A teaser will be written below.

Spoiler: Please submit character sheets according to this format:

Character name: Max Lewis

Rocket name: Lieutenant Commander Yellow, #15282

Appearance: Blue hair although he regularly shaves it bald. He is well built, has red eyes and has the standard Rocket tattoo on his right arm. He has come to maintain his hygiene in stark contrast to his past due to the necessity of impressing the high ranking Rockets who occasionally inspect the membership.

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Initial Pokemon: Nidorino, Kakuna, Zubat. (Strongest first, no max evolutions, maximum of three, )

Biography: Born on a farm south of Celedon, Max eventually fled his abusive father to try and etch a living and become part of the real world. Reality was not kind to him and he was frequently mocked for lacking a Pokemon of his own. Stealing a Nidoran, he started his descent into thug life. He became a thief and was eventually caught robbing a house. He spent a good number of his formative years bouncing between the streets and jail. His history with numerous street gangs and fiercely battling has made his Pokemon tough and pain resistant.

Reasons for joining Team Rocket (if not already stated): When a Team Rocket group broke into the Celedon city jail to free a number of their members who had been arrested on the roads outside of the city, Max fell in with them. Starting as a low level grunt, being given a Weedle and a Zubat, he helped the Rocket group become the dominant force in the Kanto underworld. Achieving a promotion, he became a member of the Yellow team. He remains in the harsh Rocket environment out of a desire to some day ruin the lives of those who jeered at him in the streets and to become rich serving Giovanni.

A few rules here: You need at least one Rocketesque Pokemon with you at all times. Gen 1 Pokemon only. No god modding, trenchcoating, etc.

[HEADING=1]Prologue:[/HEADING]

Giovanni rested in his chair, paging through his reports. New trainers were becoming less and less interested in challenging the Elite Four. Most seemed content in only staying around their local gyms. This fit well with him. No more potential rivals. He had long ago eliminated his brother and his rival group in the streets of Celedon and the splinter gangs were slowly being incorporated into the body of the Rocket beast.

"Sir?" said a scientist at the door.

"Enter."

"We have news about the project on the island. It seems the experiment is going well and will be completed in a few months."

"Excellent. Leave."

He allowed himself a brief moment to smile. Already his team was tough enough to discourage the Gym Leaders from challenging Team Rocket directly. With this new Pokemon he could finally march into the Pokemon League and achieve his dream of complete mastery over the region. Sipping from his glass and giving his Meowth a quick pet he continued reading.

"A good number of Silph Co. shares were bought up by Kanto businessmen last weekend as the company went public." Yes, this was going well. "New discoveries in Mt. Moon lead to new theories about Pokemon evolution." I will investigate this. "Rocket members in Lavender town...."

Giovanni's small smile vanished as he read on. "...were arrested attempting to steal from the Pokemon Tower. One witness reported that they were 'digging up old graves in order to take precious mementos from the coffins. I was appalled.'. The Rocket members were taken to the top floor of the tower and placed civilian arrest there by local Pokemon trainers. Representatives from Saffron say a police detachment will be..."

Giovanni threw the newspaper into fire pit raging to his left and stood up slowly. "Petrel!!"

The executive slid into the room quickly. "Yes sir?!?"

"Lavander town is holding Green team. Dispatch another team to exact revenge."

"Which team do you wish?"

"That Alex fellow. He was quite effective here in Celedon recently. Get them to go."

"His team is newly formed."

"He's more than capable of taking care of anyone who gets in his way on his own. Now do as you're told."

The odd man left his sight quickly and Giovanni paused to think about his organization. A good number of them were still young and relatively inexperienced but his executives have done their roles well. Almost fanatical... The perfect pawns. It distressed him that normal citizens still didn't fear Rockets enough to cease resisting. Perhaps it was time to give Alex some special orders...

Heh, Fun Fact, On Avatar Adventure, I'm controling TR in a Pokemon themed Story Arc!



Q&A
1. Gen 1 Pokemon but with Present Moves Pools, Ability's and Stats? (Also, Link to Bulbapedia for Stats and Moves)
2. Standard Rules of Poke-battles (No Stealing, No attacking other trainers, Etc) Are out the window, right?

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

1. Gen 1 Pokemon but with Present Moves Pools, Ability's and Stats? (Also, Link to Bulbapedia for Stats and Moves)

I think we can use the superior move/ability combos, yes. We'll limit TM's to what is available in Gen 1 but natural move pools are allowed.

2. Standard Rules of Poke-battles (No Stealing, No attacking other trainers, Etc) Are out the window, right?

This is going to get quite brutal, yeah. No stealing character Pokemon but randoms in the way of Team Rocket will suffer the loss of their Pokemon. Said stolen Pokemon won't listen very well at all though. Trainer on trainer combat is totally on although if their Pokemon are out it's pretty much a given that a traditional battle will happen first.

Glad you're interested!

Glad you're interested!

Glad to be interested, Also, your position on killing pokemon and humans, we are villains after all...

Glad to be interested, Also, your position on killing pokemon and humans, we are villains after all...

Considering the canon events in the first game...

Team Rocket isn't out to murder primarily but if someone does prove to be a big obstacle they are not above it. Pokemon are tools. In rare circumstances a Rocket may kill a Pokemon but the organization as a whole prefers to repurpose them for profit. I know I've always thought that the hideout in Celedon was powered by Pokemon pulling a turbine as a kid.

Subjugating the populace through fear is the main strategy. Beatings are usually enough for the mild mannered civilians. We don't kill gym leaders though because that would earn the ire of the E4 and mobilize the people against the movement.

They did something like that in Gold/Sliver, anyways, sheet will be up in a day or so.

Here's the sheet you asked for!

Spoiler: Leels Marx

Name:Leela Marx

Rocket Name:Leels, Team Yellow Rocket

Appearance: pretty, shoulder-length black hair she keeps in a ponytail, wears glasses without lenses because she doesn't need them, but she likes the way she looks in them. Refuses to wear anything exclusively feminine, instead opting for jeans that fit her well and t-shirts with designs of her favorite pokemon on them(she has a Machamp,a Vulpix, an Arbok, and a Dratini at the moment)

Gender:Female

Age:21

Initial Pokemon:Machoke,Ekans,Dratini

Biography:Born into a well-to-do family, she was sent off to boarding school where she learned about pokemon and looked for every scrap of information she could. She used her family's money to buy her first pokemon, a Machop, which she used to catch her Dratini.

She found out that her family had connections to Team Rocket and instantly wanted to join, as she'd always had a prank streak running through her. She liked the challenge of thievery and the thrill she got when she got away with it. When she joined she found an Ekans slithering around a compound and adopted him, she has been known to sleep curled around him from time to time.

Reason for joining: She wanted adventure,fun, and you know, since her family cut her off from their money for joining them, the pay's good too.

Edit: Changed my Vulpix to Dratini for variety

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

Spoiler: David West

Initial Pokemon: Haunter (Dante), Geodude (Rocky), ??? (Depends on what I can Get from Team Rocket)

Bio: <Working on it, hard to write a villain Bio without some tragic shit happening>

Reasons for Joining: Mostly Money and hoping to get his hands on a rare Pokemon.

Right, nearly done, just two things:
1. Options for the 3rd pokemon?
2. Are shiny's allowed?

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

1. Options for the 3rd pokemon?

Koffing, Rattata, Zubat, Ekans, Grimer or Meowth. Standard issue.

2. Are shiny's allowed?

No, I think we won't have any.

Character sheet!!

Spoiler: Zane

Character name: Zane

Appearance: Mouse brown hair, which is shaggy but not long. He is short and has a thin but muscular build. He has brown eyes that are so dark as to be almost black, and is just handsome enough to be unremarkable and just ugly enough to be unremarkable. When out of uniform he wears a black tank top and cargo pants usually.

Gender: Male

Age: 17

Pokemons: Mankey, rattata, zubat.

Bio: Zane was born as Peter Zowdski, and his father was a crime boss stationed in Celedon city, losing territory to the Rockets and to Erika. Having 6 older brothers and sisters, and a couple of younger ones, Peter was largely ignored by his family, his mother having left town and his father just not caring. As a child, Peter was aggressive and angry most of the time, getting into fights at school. His pastime was going into the wild and fighting the wild pokemon there, taking his aggression out on rattatas, pidgeys, and the occasional oddish. He would be cruel to his classmates, but not to the wild pokemon. After he beat them he let them be. As he grew up he learned how to control his aggression better, and though he continued to get into fights in the wild, he no longer fought at school. Instead, he began to turn to stealing. After many petty crimes, some against other kids, some against adults, he stole his first pokemon at 15. He ambushed a trainer in the wild, knocking him unconscious before the trainer could pull out his pokemon. He ran off with one of the pokeballs, revealing a freshly caught mankey. The mankey immediately attacked (as mankeys are wont to do) but Peter was stronger and beat it, forcing the mankey to give him its loyalty. Since the mankey hadn't had any attachment to the previous trainer (being freshly caught) it did so, respecting Peter's strength. Though Peter did not care about the mankey on a personal level, he respected and liked it as a useful tool, and treated it relatively well. He taught the mankey how to help him steal, how to fight with Peter, and how to fight by himself. The mankey enjoyed the challenges much like Peter did, and since Peter made sure to reward the mankey for a job well done, Peter won the mankeys loyalty.

Reason for joining the Rockets: At 16 Peter was caught breaking into a well to do Celedon house. He was arrested and thrown into PokeJail. The police tried to use him as a bargaining chip to get to his father, but his father merely said "let the disappointment rot". Mankey helped Peter break out later that night. Feeling betrayed, Peter ran off, catching a rattata and zubat in his travels before joining Team Rocket, partly to spite his father, and partly to be in an organization that appreciated his talents (stealing and beating things) and put them to "good" use. He lives mostly for the challenge, whether it be a difficult fight or a complex thieving job.

As a quick side note, he lied about his age, and changed his name. The Rockets think he is currently 18. And he decided Zane was way cooler than Peter, so he was going to be Zane.

Allright!! A huge shout out and thank you to Redlin5 for being AWESOME!!! Even if I'm not accepted, thanks a ton for pointing out that index help forum to me!

First bump. Need more people before I'll proceed.

Spoiler: Mayu Reimi

Character name: Mayu Reimi

Rocket name: Rocket Grunt #1215129

Appearance: Mayu has long black hair that falls down to the small of her back, normally allowed to fall freely but occasionally tied into a twin-tail style, with the two braids falling down her back with a hair tie at the end. She has emerald green eyes which always seem to have a mischievous glint to them.

Gender: Female

Age: 07

Initial Pokemon: Vulpix, Rattata

Biography: Mayu was born in Viridian City, where she loved seeing the various trainers coming and going, as well as the hopefuls trying to make their way to the Pokemon League. It didn't take long for Mayu to want to become a trainer of her own, and she even battled her beloved Vulpix, which had been given to her from her father, against some of the trainers every now and then. She and her Vulpix grew close together, but the goal of becoming a trainer always seemed so far away! It was on her seventh birthday when she heard of Team Rocket, who stole Pokemon to become stronger. She thought that Team Rocket was her ticket into becoming a great trainer without having to be ten! If she couldn't catch pokemon legally, then she would just take them! She packed her belongings quietly in the middle of the night and before anyone knew it she had disappeared into the night with her Vulpix. Her parents still think she's missing.

Reasons for joining Team Rocket (if not already stated): Mayu wanted to join Team Rocket in order to gain more Pokemon, just like a normal trainer though with less legal methods. She traveled across the land, searching far and wide, when one day she spotted Team Rocket holding up a trainer, though they were at a stalemate. Figuring this was her chance, she used her Vulpix to attack the trainer and his Pokemon, successfully helping the Rockets and gaining the necessary trust to join.

Spoiler: Klaus

Character name: Klaus Kweitszow

Rocket name: Weitz, Team Yellow Rocket

Appearance: A thin, well-maintained face with a petite structure contrasted by his cold gray eyes. Not a hint of emotion in them. His lips are red, and his hair a golden blonde. His skin is pale, but only slightly moreso than the average person. His hair is usually wild and unkempt under his Rocket cap, though he has been know to slick it back in casual appearance. His frame is also very thin and wiry, almost like a skeleton come back to life. His face is always either serene with a faint smirk, or vicious and twisted with a malicious grin.

Gender: Male

Age: 19

Initial Pokemon: Vulpix, Ekans, Metapod

Biography: Born and raised in Celadon city, Klaus was obsessed with the beauty and elegance of the local gym and its trainers from a very young age. As he got older he tried to emulate this beauty. He caught his very first Pokemon, an exquisite Vulpix, and taught it to battle with a ruthlessness and elegance that no others could match. People challenged him, and he obliged, eager to share his darling's beauty with the world. But his brutality was too much, and Pokemon and trainer alike suffered severe burns and wounds. The police were eventually brought into the matter, and his parents realized that their son was growing out of control. They feared for his sanity, and agreed to have him sent away for rehabilitation.

When the police came to take his Vulpix from him, Klaus did not take it well. To be robbed of his lovely little baby was too much. The fires burned down his home, and he ran away, under the alias of Weitz to protect himself and his darling. In time, he fell in with gang life, and joined Team Rocket at the first chance. Any group that gave him the ability to collect more precious, beautiful Pokemon earned his admiration in a heartbeat.

Reasons for joining Team Rocket (if not already stated): While other people mocked him or demanded he give up his Vulpix and use other, uniform Pokemon instead, Rocket had objectively admired his style and his power, and allowed him to keep his already strong and graceful Vulpix in exchange for his service. Weitz saw it as an opportunity for finding safety, for himself and Vulpix, and for spreading recognition of their combined beauty to the world around them.

Yeah, this guy's kind of off his rocker. And that's the most awful fake German surname of all time.

Reasons for joining Team Rocket (if not already stated): While other people mocked him or demanded he give up his Vulpix and use other, uniform Pokemon instead, Rocket had objectively admired his style and his power, and allowed him to keep his already strong and graceful Vulpix in exchange for his service. Weitz saw it as an opportunity for finding safety, for himself and Vulpix, and for spreading recognition of their combined beauty to the world around them.

Yeah, this guy's kind of off his rocker. And that's the most awful fake German surname of all time.

I'm cool with it.

Spoiler: Mayu Reimi

Character name: Mayu Reimi

Rocket name: Rocket Grunt #1215129

Appearance: Mayu has long black hair that falls down to the small of her back, normally allowed to fall freely but occasionally tied into a twin-tail style, with the two braids falling down her back with a hair tie at the end. She has emerald green eyes which always seem to have a mischievous glint to them.

Gender: Female

Age: 07

Initial Pokemon: Vulpix, Rattata

Biography: Mayu was born in Viridian City, where she loved seeing the various trainers coming and going, as well as the hopefuls trying to make their way to the Pokemon League. It didn't take long for Mayu to want to become a trainer of her own, and she even battled her beloved Vulpix, which had been given to her from her father, against some of the trainers every now and then. She and her Vulpix grew close together, but the goal of becoming a trainer always seemed so far away! It was on her seventh birthday when she heard of Team Rocket, who stole Pokemon to become stronger. She thought that Team Rocket was her ticket into becoming a great trainer without having to be ten! If she couldn't catch pokemon legally, then she would just take them! She packed her belongings quietly in the middle of the night and before anyone knew it she had disappeared into the night with her Vulpix. Her parents still think she's missing.

Reasons for joining Team Rocket (if not already stated): Mayu wanted to join Team Rocket in order to gain more Pokemon, just like a normal trainer though with less legal methods. She traveled across the land, searching far and wide, when one day she spotted Team Rocket holding up a trainer, though they were at a stalemate. Figuring this was her chance, she used her Vulpix to attack the trainer and his Pokemon, successfully helping the Rockets and gaining the necessary trust to join.

To begin we'll have our characters assemble in a backroom. Most of them won't have met each other before and we'll have some NPC grunts who are a part of the team arriving too.

Please do join the user group. I'm eager to begin.
