Is it just me, or are there not enough good Pokémon OC stories out there? I've decided to quench my thirst for one by writing this little fic here. I must warn you; I'm planning to focus on the darker, more realistic side of a Pokémon journey (if the title and summary weren't enough of a clue). I will be sprinkling a bit of humor throughout though, so do not fret!
Right now, the OC spots are limited. There will be three main characters: My OC (the trainer of the group), a coordinator, and a breeder. I also need rivals for all three, and love interests for all three. I'm looking for a diverse cast, so try to make your character as unique as possible. I won't be choosing any clichés.
Here's the application with my character's information:
Name: Veronica McCullough
Age: 16
Hair: Bright, Waist-Length Orange Waves
Eyes: Light Gray
Skin: Pale
Outfit: Veronica wears a losing-fitting, black crop-top that hangs off her left shoulder and has a grinning, neon-green vampire smiley face on the front. Neon colored and black gel bracelets run the length of either arm. She also wears dark blue skinny-jeans, tucked inside black, heel-less boots that stop about mid calf. Each of her fingernails is painted a different color, and a black beret sits atop her head. She wears think eyeliner and light lip-gloss.
Starter: Poochyena (Male); Nicknamed Hellion. Hellion is a rather unnerving Pokémon. He is always serious, and has an almost sinister air about him. He cares deeply for his trainer, however, and will do whatever it takes to keep her safe.
(Right now, the only Pokémon I want is your OC's starter. I want to keep the anticipation of what Pokémon each character will catch for the readers, but I will ask whoever I pick to send a complete list of their team via PM.)
Personality: Veronica is a snarky, wise-cracking smartass. She always has a sarcastic remark or raised eyebrow at the ready, no matter the situation. She's also extremely absentminded, and will sometimes stare blankly into space; lost in her own thoughts. Since her mind has the tendency to wander, her attention span can be a little short at times.
Background: Veronica comes from a wealthy family. Both her parents completely detested Pokémon, unless they were being used by the maids to clean their estate, and forbade her from interacting with them at all; they believed it was improper for a young lady of her upbringing. One day, while on the run from her insufferable nanny, Veronica found an injured Poochyena in the forest. She brought it home and nursed it back to health in secret, constructing a make-shift bed for it in the back of her large closet. A maid stumbled upon her dear Poochyena one day. Fearing for her job if she kept silent, the woman told Veronica's parents. Veronica's parents in turn threatened to have her Poochyena killed if she did not get rid of it. She begged them to reconsider, but they told her that she didn't have what it took to be a real Pokémon trainer even if they did. Furious, Veronica escaped with her Poochyena, vowing not to return until she was one of the best trainers alive.
Role: Main Character (Trainer)
You can list for your character to double as a rival AND love interest; I might choose them if I like them well enough. The "Trainer" slot of the three main characters has obviously already been filled, so your character most definitely will not be picked if you list that as his or her role.
I'm probably going to be introducing new characters throughout so if your OC doesn't make the original cut, they may just show up later on. ;))
I'm making my final decision sometime tomorrow night, so I can begin writing as soon as possible. I'll extend the deadline if I don't find any OC's that I like.
