"The battle between Arceus and Necrozma is as old as the world being created. Many legendaries picked their sides as they fought for control of the Hall of Origin. Some scribes say the fights waged back and forth, others say that it got so bad that the world as we know it. Pangea soon became the very continents that we live upon today. The world was brought to the brink of destruction until Arceus, with the help of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina, defeat what was called Ultra Necrozma." There was a pause. "Time passed and Knights were needed, in order for the legends to keep living on. They either bound themselves to humans or weapons. Souls mingling and a chance to live on for ages to come as civilization continued to live on and advance. Such is the greatness of Humanity."
Another pause. "As we approach the new age, Arceus had given the defeated Necrozma a choice, a chance to live a new life or to suffer life confined in a weapon only to be shattered soon after. Being a realist, Necrozma of course sought a second chance. While it was matter of revenge seeking or not, Arceus had made sure that things would be different. Despite evil being a constant, some legendaries being lost to the Hall for centuries and certain groups rising up, this was one thing that would succeed after years of insurgent wars causing what was once referred to as North America into what is now called New America, dubbed the region of ascension. Wiping its memory entirely, Necrozma was made into a human being, reborn into a normal life up until the very day when all would be remembered. Rumor has it, the person attends the most prestigious Academy in the very center of New America."
The voice seemed to be lost in thought. "Hmmm, I can't quite remember the name of it but it's where people from the 8 Points are offered enrollment. And what are the 8 points you ask? Silly, that's referring to the 8 major cities in which there are the 8 strongest members of their city who must be beaten in order to challenge the champion of the land. Each Leader has their own school that they oversee and those that challenge them must go through trials before they face the leader. But that's not what brought you here, is it?" A clink and a click, the flame of a lighter and a cigarette being lit. If one were observant enough, they'd have noticed the slight red and black markings on the person's body and a few hints of gold.
"No, you're here to prove yourself the best there ever is. But what will be proven is if your claims are held true or if you'll crash and burn from your own arrogance. Can you stand toe to toe with the champion and his Elites?"
Update: OC form has been moved to my profile.
A side note, depending on what you pick, there may be room for Mega Evolutions, but only for those with Souls and based on the level of detail. Aspects are more likely to receive a second special technique and/or a second weapon. Also, any mythical pokemon (soul or Aspect) are up for discussion but only if there's real effort put into it. I don't care if this is split between a post or two. It doesn't have to be extremely long, but substantial enough to accurately depict your character. Put forth all your effort into this. Please send all forms via PM with the subject line : Knights Rising (Insert OC Name here). Anything that doesn't read that after this post will not be considered immediately
And as an incentive, top 8 submissions will receive special abilities and top four will be designated the Champion's Elite Four.
I really shouldn't have to put this in here, but I will not tolerate anything regarding reviews being used for anything other than being reviews. I may not be able to control what is said, but I can deny or decide to overlook submissions. Reviews are meant to be used as true constructive criticism, not a chance to necessarily nitpick at every little thing.
