What is a dream?

The dictionary defines it as visionary creation of the imagination ? something that seems so real to you, a desire, a lust that only you believe in. People will put you down for it, they will say that it?s impossible or ridiculous. They would tell you to find something else to believe in. But it was your dream; your fantasy, your greatest desire. You wanted to grab that shimmering light, no matter how far away it was.

My dream?and dozens of others, I?m sure, no thanks to the propaganda of the Elite Four, were to be Pokemon Masters (although they never specified what a Pokemon Master really was). It?s a dream that is wildly different for each person. Some may see it as capturing them all, while others say that just simply traveling the world with your Pokemon is enough. For me, for my dream, it is to vanquish the Elite Four. I want to travel the world, see places I would probably never see, and battle with the best of them.

That is my dream.[/i]

***

Professor Oak rubbed his chin as he listened to the proposal from Lance. He had known the man for quite some time ? it was impossible for the two to not know each other, considering the man on the monitor was the head of the self-declared greatest Pokemon trainers in the whole Kanto region, whereas he was considered the most brilliant Pokemon researcher.

?There is a severe lack in quality of trainers, Professor. They don?t have that love for Pokemon, that desire for greatness, that was so abundant in our youths. So many of them fight the Gym leaders, and most of them fail. Those that get to our doorsteps are so full of pride and arrogance, it is down right sickening. I?m tired of seeing the darker side of the Trainers. I yearn for the golden days.?

?And how exactly will me giving Pokemon away ? with your granted permission ? guarantee a return to those days??

?Because you know good people, Professor. It?s a plain as that.?

?I suppose I could find a few individuals with the dream you have so ceremoniously dramatized on TV who have the moral attitude you may be looking for.?

Lance smiled. ?I can hardly wait.?

[b]Character Sheet[/b]

[b]Name[/b]

[b]Age[/b]
Despite that the game and anime has characters being pre-teens, I would like 16 and up.

[b]Physical Description[/b]
Describe what your character looks like. A picture is allowed as well.

[b]Personality[/b]
Describe your character?s personality.

[b]Pokemon[/b]
Give us your first Pokemon. It must be at its first evolution stage. It should be obvious enough that Legendary Pokemon is a big no-no. You can use Pokemon from any of the games, even though the RP is taking place in the Kanto continent.[/center]

[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]Name: Sigurd Silverblade

Age: 17 yrs old

Physical Description: [URL=http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k296/blingkaching4693/ash03.jpg]Sigurd's 'going-to-sleep' costume...^^[/URL] He stands at 5"7 and is normally seen wearing a blue singlet with a brown jacket. He wears a pair of grayish trousers and a pair of white sneakers.

Personality: People around him will see him as a troubled kid. But those that knows him has a better point of view of Sigurd. Sigurd is serious but most of the time, he can be fun and very suppoting. Just like any guy, he likes to hang out with his 'dudes'.

When it comes to a Pokemon battle, Eevee and Sigurd will battle full-out. However, if they lost, they will accept defeat and will improve on their battle techniques. Although Sigurd and Eevee are still new to pokemon battling, they are the best of friends and there is nothing that can separate these two...^^

Pokemon: Eevee

If there is anything that I need to improve on, PM me.[/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR]

Except, of course, with normal green eyes and doesn't normally look [I]that[/I] full of himself.

[B]Personality[/B]
A relatively easy, nice person to talk to. He is really the kind of person who judges people too quickly, though he is slightly weay of people he doesn't know enough. Sergei is always willing to give people second chances, if he likes them enough. Other people, such as thieves and bad trainers, he's not so willing towards. Sergei is definitely not a destructive person, once he's won he's won and he won't take the battle any further. Sergei's passionate about Pokemon, he likes to catch the ones that will evolve in powerful creatures (such as Nidoran and Pidgey) and has a lot of respect for Pokemon and other powerful trainers. Despite all this, Sergei has a firey temper.

On many occassions Sergei has been known to lose his temper. He isn't very, very dangerous at this point though he does tend to forget that all trainers deserve respect and when the battle's over, it's over. Sergei will sometimes go a little overboard when it comes to punishing bad trainers (even though he doesn't think of himself as the 'person we needs to stop the bad guys and save the world') if he loses his temper. This hasn't become a problem and it probably never will, it just happens to be the one thing he shares on common with his favourite type of fire Pokemon.

[b]Physical Description[/b]
[url=http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/6368/portrait3bymattyps4e985cgu1.jpg][color=red]Matthew[/color][/url]

[b]Personality[/b]
It has been a known fact that even though Pokemon trainers are just as human as anyone, the public picture is of hyperactive and happy people, always willing to throw a smile. Matthew is proof enough that those fantasies are nothing more than a fable. Ever since the death of his parents in the Gizdotsou War fourteen years ago, which was the very first, and as decreed by the treaty of Vermillion, the last war to use Pokemon as weapons, he has kept to himself. The only one that he has really been seen to be Human around is the famous Professor Oak, who he works with as a research assistant from time to time.

[B]Age:[/B] 16

[B]Physical Description:[/B] [url=http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y181/Cybernator/honky2.jpg]Jonas[/url] stands at 5'9" with a weight of about 130lbs. He's very agile and fairly muscular. When it comes to his light blonde hair and his bright blue eyes, you can just tell that he was born a care free person.

[B]Personality:[/B] Jonas is an extremely kind young man. He is always willing to lend a hand when needed and is constantly signing himself up for volunteer work. But just because Jonas does all this nice stuff doesn't make him perfect. He can get extremely jelous and is quick to get angry at someone.

[Doublehex]

[b]White[/b] and [b]Vicky[/b] no problems with your posts. [b]DracoGuardian[/b], it needs work, mostly with your grammer issues. Run on sentences are a big no-no, and your physical description isn't even a paragraph...it sounds more like notes than anything. And although I didn't say anything, it goes beyond saying that for balancing reasons that it needs to be first stage evolution Pokemon. Mid-level is simply too powerful for the beggining of a quest. Currentley, your application is [b][color=red]rejected[/b][/color].

[Ginkaze]

Name: Jazzy Kelly

Age: 17

Physical Description: A 5' 4'' blond girl with blue green eyes. Her hair is in a ponytail, and she wears a charm bracelet. Her clothes consits of Dark blue denim jeans, dark green T-shirt, Darkblue Vest, and light green gloves.

Personality: Exceptionally fiery, though outgoing. She is fierce and protective of her oppinions. As fiery and mean seeming she may be, she is very loyal and kind to close friends.

Pokemon: A Totodile, named Chomp.

Now okay?

[Doublehex]

[QUOTE=Ginkaze]

This okay?[/QUOTE]

Unfortunatley not. It all seems like notes, ratther than prganized and forumulated thoughts. Remember, your character sheets give me a sample of how you RP. If I see your character sheets are disorganized both grammaticly and in thoughts, I am quick to presume you RP as such. Give me COMPLETE sentences, with well THOUGHT-OUT topics.

[foxtu78]

Name: Ashin Songari

Age: 16

Physical Description: She also wears glasses.
[url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v42/foxtu78/girls211.jpg[/url]

Personality: Ashin is a naturally calm, quiet person, though she's very determined. She tends to come off as mysterious, and to some people strange. For that reason she doesn't socialize with others. She's not a strong or brave person and has trouble defending herself without help. She has always loved Pokemon ever since she can remember. Her mother has two Pokemon, a Quilava and an Oddish, that Ashin has always cared deeply for. Her father was a trainer back when he was young, but when he was 27, when her mother was still pregnant, he was in a terrible storm at sea and they never saw him again. Ashin was raised on the beliefs her mother was raised on, never give up, don't forget who you are, know that money can't bring happiness, ect.

Pokemon: Vulpix

(k, it's fixed)

[Doublehex]

@ foxtu: Awesome post, except surely Ashin has some negatives? She is human after all.

@DracoGuardian: The physical description is good, but his personality is still not good enough quality for me to accpet you with a clear consionce.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR=Purple][B]Name: Azure Jackson

Age: 18

Physical Description: Azure stands around 5?6 and is built fairly well; she has bright blue eyes that seem to sparkle with energy. Her hair is long and a deep shade of wine red; she wears jeans and a grey t-shirt with a back vest over it, she accessorizes her out fit with a pair of black gloves that have had the fingers cut off, she wears a pair of dark shades on her head and a pair of boots to complete the ensemble.

Personality: Azure is friendly and loud to the point of being obnoxious, but she is serious when the time calls for it but until then most people are telling her to act her age.

Pokemon: Cyndiquill[/B][/COLOR]

[B]Lemme know if I need to change anything!
KG[/B]

[Doublehex]

@ [B]DracoGuardian[/B] and [B]Knuckles' Girl[/B]: I have already PMed you concerning your characters and what I need of you.

@ [B]sakazaki[/B]: Your character sheet is a huge improvement over your last one, even though I didn't like the subtleness of Sigurd's negatives. I had to read it twice to see that he was a troublemaker. Regardles, it is [B]Approved[/B]!

[Andrew]

[B]Name:[/B] Andrew John Armstrong (nicknamed ‘AJ’ or ‘Armstrong’ for obvious reasons)

[B]Age:[/B] 18

[B]Physical Description:[/B] [URL=http://www-static.cc.gatech.edu/ugrads/s/styner/Pictures/JoelSasuke/sasuke.jpg]Clicky[/URL]

[B]Personality:[/B] Definitely the embodiment of an enigma. One second Andrew can be quiet and reserved and the next he can be shouting and raving about any random subject. Generally an all around nice guy with something of an ego, especially where females are involved. A self professed ladies’ man, Andrew takes pride in his appearance and always aims to show off when one is around. He works hard and has a great relationship with his first and only Pokémon, Zubat.

[B]Pokemon:[/B] Zubat

[Doublehex]

[b]foxtu78[/b] and [B]Andrew[/B], your characters are accepted. I will wait a few more days until I close the sign-ups and start the RP, but I'll have the Underground up within the hour.

[Ginkaze]

Mine okay now though?

[Doublehex]

@ [B]Ginkaze[/B]: I see no positive changes to your character sheet. It is still very much like notes. And I will not ask for any samples until you change your sheet to actually be sentences with a subject and other necessities.

[Ginkaze]

i don't get what you mean. I'll modify it again though, the WHOLE thing!

[Funny Girl]

[COLOR=Magenta][b]Name: Ashura[/b]

[b]Age: 18[/b]

[b]Physical Description: She wears a bandana and her hair is up in ponytail with some hair falling out on the side of her face. [URL=http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g172/Just_Be_Yourself/celestial9.jpg]Here[/URL] [/b]

[b]Personality:She is a kind and nice girl who loves Pokemon. She may be one of the few who would do anything to help out Pokemon even if she doesn't own them. She is outgoing and is a little on the slow side when it comes to some things. She loves to talk to new people to get to know them better and to make them feel comfortable around her and other people.

Some times whem Ashura is going to get ready to battle, she gets prepared by trying to learn everything she can about that person and then tries to see if her work pays off when she battles. Most of the time it does and she wins her battles. She is all about fun with her Pokemon and her Pokemon just love it too. She isn't overconfident and is very calm and entergetic when it comes to battling.[/b]

[b]Pokemon: Bagon[/b][/COLOR]

Lemme know if this is ok.

[Doublehex]

@ [B]Guardian Angel[/B] Although it mostly fits the recquirments of a good character sheet (minus some cons), it just seems boring. She dosen't really stand out - she's not unique. Try to think of ways on making your character an interesting character to roleplay, and an even more interesting character to read about.

[Ginkaze]

Mine good yet? I made mine full sentences, and very descriptive on the bio parts.

[Doublehex]

@ [B]Ginkaze[/B]: Unfortunatley, not. Yes, it is complete sentences, but you don't go into a great amount of detail about your character. Your character also does not sound that interesting as well, and even if you did go into detail, I would have doubts if your character would add to the quality of the cast. Thus, I shall repeat what I said to [B]GuardianAngel[/B]:

[QUOTE]Although it mostly fits the recquirments of a good character sheet (minus some cons), it just seems boring. She dosen't really stand out - she's not unique.

So give it another shot. Go into detail - like how White, Andrew, Vicky and I did - and try to make your character different in her own way.

(This is the edited version of my profile, please tell me if I have to change anything)

[Doublehex]

[B]Crazy Kev[/B], your sheet has many good things about it, and several bad things. First of, thank you, thank you, thank you, [i]thank you[/i] for actualy putting a good amount of effort into your character's personalities. Its good to have a sarcastic a group. Unfortunatley, you have more spelling and grammar mistakes than I would like, and you don't go into THAT much detail of your character. Just a few more sentences here and there, and fix those mistakes (and promise they won't pop up when you RP), and I'd say that you are good to go.

Now if a certain cat lover here could follow your example, my life would be made alot easiar. :)

[Crazy Kev]

Would you want me to add more sentences to my characters appearence or something? If so, then I'll try doing that that tomorrow or something. And I'll try my very best not make as many spelling and grammer mistakes as much as possible. But thanks for telling me of how my character was though.

[Funny Girl]

[COLOR=Magenta]Well I edited my post Doublehex. Tell me what you think of it and what I need to add and what not. I hope that it's good.[/COLOR]
