I keep getting female Chinese OC's, but I would perfer to get some Russian and American OCs. Also I need male OC's just as much as female OC's. So send them in and be sure to read the rules thoroughly. Form and rules can be found on my profile.
How I got this idea... I was looking at horrible Kuroshitsuji OC's on my favourite site (Well one of them. Site is [fuck yeah horrible kuroshitsuji ocs. tumblr. com] minus the brackets and spaces!) and I came up with an idea to have a fanfic set in an older time. I was going to do the Victorian age, but after looking around, 1910 seemed to be a perfect time to start it instead. Pokemon is one of my favourite animes and it seemed to fit in like a puzzle piece. So that is pretty much it. I decided to do this "project" to open the "gate" as a competition between countries, seeing how countries tend to do that.
Now on to the story and the first few OC's to be introduced.
Weihaiwei, China
The girl walked along the port, her shoes slightly clicking against the road. She looked at the British ships that slept in the port.
It had been 12 years since China had leased Weihaiwei to Britain. Even though Xue was only 5 when Britain had began to occupy the port, but she remembered seeing the first few British ships come into the port.
She turned her attention away from the ships. She turned down another street and began to walk away from the port. After walking down the street for a bit, she soon stood in front of a small restaurant. People were bustling inside. Xue had never been comfortable around strangers, which was what those people inside were to her. But she took a silent big breath and walked inside. She weaved in and out the customers, making her way to the back. She walked through a door and was soon in the kitchen. An older woman stood there, watching the cook.
"Zixi!" the older woman commanded. "This food should be cooked well. My name is attached to this food."
The older woman turned around after sensing someone else there. Her harsh expression turned softer upon seeing Xue.
"Xue," she said.
She walked over to the young girl and hugged her. Xue hugged her back, but Xue's neutral expression barely changed.
"Grandma," she said.
Xue's grandma turned back to the cook.
"Xue, this is our new cook, Mengyao Sung. We hired him because of the business growing, yet he doesn't seem to be able to cook anything right," she explained.
Mengyao cringed at the comment. He has worked in so many restaurants before. This was the first time anyone has insulted his cooking.
Xue saw the cringe, but kept silent. She knew her grandma could say some mean things sometimes, but she really was just testing him. If he couldn't handle this, he couldn't handle working there.
Xue expected him to say something or to storm out, but Mengyao just kept silent and working on the food he was cooking.
Grandma didn't pay attention to him and ushered Xue back into the restaurant.
"While you're here, might as well help out," she said.
She handed Xue a platter with food on it.
"Table shiwu," Grandma ordered.
Xue nodded and walked through the crowd with some elegance. She made her way to Table 15 and started to set the food down in front of the British men.
"What a cute girl," laughed one man.
Another man tried to make eye contact with Xue, but she kept her head down.
"I wonder if she can speak English," he said.
The men continued to laugh. Once Xue was down, she grabbed the platter and walked quickly away.
"Why are you here anyway?" asked Grandma.
Xue took the food from her grandma and placed it on the platter.
"I came by to see how you and the business were doing," she said.
Xue always had loved her grandma. The fact that her grandma could go through so many hardships and come out on top. Xue admired that.
"I am fine and as you can see, so is the restaurant," Grandma replied. "Table Si."
Xue nodded and walked over to Table Four. This one housed a group of young Chinese teens. She knew them from hanging around Xinying Wu, her best friend. Despite their cheerful attitude when Xue approached them with their food, they were usually quiet cold towards her. They called her cold and robotic. Their nickname for her was 'Bing Gongzhu'.
They looked up at her as she set down their food and glared at her. They made no attempt for conversation, just taking their food. Once Xue was done, she ran away.
Grandma walked up to her once she appeared back at the back of the restaurant.
"I heard there is going to be a firework show later today," Grandma stated. "Why don't you go grab Xinying and get ready for it?"
Xue wanted to grab her grandma and embrace her in a hug, but she refrained since she was in view of everyone.
"Xiexie," she thanked.
With that, Xue handed the platter back and left the restaurant.
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, USA
The military base was hectic as always. Big trucks driving down the road. Uniformed men training in the fields. But Polly was used to this sight. Ford Island had been her home for seven years.
She sat, in her front yard, watching all of this. Her younger brother ran in circles around her.
"Donald, stop acting like a child," she complained.
Donald was only 9, but Polly, being 14, was going through that phase when she thinks everyone she should act mature.
"But I am a child," he whined.
He continued to run in circles until he got dizzy and fell into the lawn.
"I'm bored," he whined.
She sighed. So was she, but she wasn't going to say anything. Instead, she just continued to sit there.
"Can we go visit Tommy?" asked Donald.
Tommy was Donald's best friend. He lived a few streets away from Polly and Donald. Polly considered this option, but only because of Tommy's older brother.
Johnny Rodgers. He was only a couple of years older than Polly. She had a huge crush on him ever since she first saw him. But he never showed any interest in her. He was nice and all, but he treated her like he treated everyone else.
She sighed and stood up.
"Fine," was all she said, but Donald began to jump up and down like she said, "Okay. Let's go get Tommy and go to the center of the Earth and view dinosaurs up close."
Donald skipped ahead while Polly walked behind him. The walk was short and soon the duo was at the Rodger's front door.
"Donald!" shouted a shrill voice.
A boy, around Donald's age, ran out through the door and attacked Donald in a hug. It was Tommy. Soon the two boys were playing tag in the yard.
"Hi Polly."
Polly turned her attention from the boys back to the front door. Standing there was the older teen, Johnny. His blonde hair combed back to show his bright blue eyes staring at Polly. His face housed an A-plus smile.
"Oh, hi Johnny," she said, managing not to stutter.
He sat down on the front steps and motioned for Polly to sit beside him. She did just that.
"Donald was bored and wanted to come play with Tommy," Polly explained.
Johnny nodded.
"It's okay. It makes me happy to see them having fun," said Johnny.
Polly sighed inside. He was so nice.
"Speaking of which. There is a parade going on in the city today and I was thinking of taking Tommy," he started. "Would you and Donald like to come too?"
Polly held her breath. She was screaming "YES!" inside her head, but tried to keep calm.
"Donald!" she called out. "Do you want to go see a parade with Tommy and Johnny?"
Donald stopped and Tommy ended up tackling him down. While pinned, Donald looked at Polly with a large smile.
"Yes!" he cheered.
Polly turned her attention back to Johnny.
"I'll have to tell my mother first, but we would like to come," she said.
Johnny smiled.
"Sweet," he said. "I can watch Donald and Tommy if you want to go tell your mother now..."
Polly nodded.
"Okay," she said.
She stood up and began to briskly walk home.
Okay, first two OC's introduced.
Polly, Johnny, Tommy, Donald, and Mengyao belong to me.
Xue, Grandma (I gave her some personality, but the idea and all belong to them.), and Xinying belong to Storm229.
If your OC did appear, don't fear. Many OC's will make their appearance later in the story. I am thinking about having the Pokemon come in here soon too.
Btw, Storm229. Between 1898 and 1930, Weihai was Weihaiwei, or Port Edward. As it was leased by China to England. So I know you put Weihai, but I kind of changed it a bit.
Translations:
*Zixi - Chinese. 'Careful, Attentive'. Grandma is telling Mengyao to be attentive.
*Shiwu - Chinese. '15'.
*Si - Chinese. '4'.
*Xiexie - Chinese. 'Thank-you'.
*Ford Island - I stretched this to where the US Army was holding it during 1910, when it was actually bought in 1918. Don't hate me.
