Before we actually get started, I'd like to let you all know that I will be accepting OCs from you guys to appear in the story! While this story is not written out yet, all of the critical plot points have already been made, and I have divided the story into sagas, or "arcs" if you will, so I already have a definitive beginning, middle and end. Finer details will be made as I actually write the story, and this includes the minor characters that will appear. That's where you guys come in! If you'd like, please fill out the form below and submit it in the REVIEWS. Accepted characters will be listed on a chapter page that will be posted once all OC slots are filled. I am taking 15 OCs for this story. I would like to get in all OCs before I start uploading chapters, but if there are not enough before the end of next week (as of this being uploaded) I will go ahead and start. Forms will still be accepted until all OC slots are filled. Please note that this is going to be a very long story, and it may be a very long time before you see your OC appear. But I promise that each OC that I accept will 100% make it into the story. If I happen to particularly like your OC, I may even give him/her a larger role in the story too!
Name: I want you guys to get super creative with this. A lot of the names for my characters in this story are just random sounds I made and thought could pass off as names. No joke. (I also use this naming system for when I actually nickname Pokemon in the games. Examples from my Pokémon Platinum team include: Lacora, Loxara, Zento, and Riker). Other characters are named after Roman or Greek gods, some characters are named after characters from other fictional works, just make it make sense if you're gonna name them after something. Please don't submit actual real human names like Terry, Jose, Charlotte, etc. I do make an exception if that human name is super uncommon though. For instance, I have an Empoleon character who is named "Bonaparte". (Hopefully you understand where that comes from). To sum it up: go crazy with the names.
Species: What species of Pokémon are they?
Gender: Is this Pokémon male or female? (Put N/A for genderless Pokémon)
Origin: What nation are they from? (Please refer to the introduction page)
Personality: What kind of Pokémon are they like? Do they make friends easily? Are they shy, or loud-mouthed? Are they a battler, or do they prefer to live quietly? Feel free to go as in-depth as you'd like on this. The more developed the character is, the more likely I'll choose them.
Sample forms for the four main characters:
Name: Ryozu
Species: Treecko
Gender: Male
Origin: Klarek
Personality: A natural born leader, Ryozu makes it a point to help anyone he can. He is strong willed and fights for what he believes in. Due to his family's history as farmers, Ryozu always imagined he'd become one too, and is thus reluctant to accept the responsibility of Champion. Despite this, he gives the task to become strong 100% of his effort, just like his other responsibilities in life.
Name: Arla
Species: Azurill
Gender: Female
Origin: Klarek
Personality: Arla is shy and often soft spoken. She fails to recognize her own potential, and often dismisses herself as a member of the team, citing her own "weakness". Despite this, she has an unwavering bravery that pushes her to discover new things about herself every day.
Name: Chamile
Species: Gligar
Gender: Male
Origin: Saalm
Personality: The jokester of the team, Chamile is a natural goofball who doesn't seem to take anything seriously. Despite this, he is extremely loyal and will go to arms if he sees any of his friends hurt. He is also quite the charmer, and will try to talk up any female Pokémon he finds himself attracted to, with very little rejection.
Name: Drauran
Species: Mienfoo
Gender: Male
Origin: Ta Lius
Personality: Quiet, and distant. Obsessed with getting stronger. Druaran is often critical of his teammates, and butts heads with Chamile frequently. Most of his history is shrouded in mystery, as he refuses to open up to others.
