Memories From A Forgotten Past
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Ahà how long has it been? Decades? Centuries?

à

Time does not factor here, I believe. Still, there is some sort of certainty in what has happenedà at least, that, I can trust into, even if I canÆt remember it.

Too long ago, back when mankind was still inferior, before any creature can possibly trace its story, even the strongest of the Legendaries itself, there was a small flame burning inside them; a ægiftÆ granted by Mew, Celebi, and Jirachi, that would allow them to become strongerà much more powerful than mere PokÚmon. It was not a known ability, however; Celebi had planned this.

The flame was her revenge, in its own wayà for she, who could see all and know all, had found out about the treatment she and many others would receive in the futureà and, in an act of partial despair, felt this was worthless to fight against. If she was to be hated by all, then be it! She would not be the only one they would hate, however!

Thus, she plottedà

It is said by some that this was when the first traces of her evil appeared. While a biased judgement, I can afford no clear judgement of my own.

As the flame burned inside the human body, their capacity for change began developing as wellà and so did their capacity for domination. Mankind, slowly, but certainly, began to overcome odds that the others had difficulty in overcoming themselvesà their intellects and imagination surpassing even those of the Legendaries themselves.

The Legendaries, however, seemed to care little for this change; in fact, some were glad that the human were growing stronger, as this meant they were, indeed, the race meant to rule this world.

As mankind had grown apart from its origins, it shortly began to consider itself something differentà a race of beings created by the Legendaries, in forms superior to even them, and demanded to see their so-called æcreatorsÆ.

The first visits were maybe not as amiable, but as mankind was still not as powerful as in current times, they had no choice but to still worship their creators. As a reward, their Servants, the Twelve, were offered as allies; a sign of this new allianceà which, unfortunately was fated to doom itself.

For the Legendaries felt lust, and the children of man were attractive to their eyes; taking upon human guises, they began heading to the human settlements, during times of peace, and bred with the women, not truly caring whether they were young or old; after the first touch, the reproductive instinct just activated on them, and they had to fill them with their seedà but, perhaps due to the peculiar attitude of humans, they also began choosing certain females for their æfamiliesÆ, fathering more children with them than any other choices.

The Masters were not pleased, once they found out.

It was not hard to do so; the children of the Servants had powers similar to their fathers, capable of flight, run faster than the winds, or simply capable of destroying anything upon touching them.

Mankind, becoming more ambitious, found in these creatures limitless power and energyà a power they could control, and use to destroy their enemies.

The PokÚmon found in them abominations, that ought to be destroyed, before anything could happen to themselvesà and thus, the alliance that had united man and PokÚmon, once before, had been its own undoing.

The Purges began. A bloody massacre, which killed countless amounts of creatures, obliterating the æhellspawnÆ from the face of Earth, and destroyed much of the belief the humans once had for the Legendaries.

Howeverà Celebi had learned more about the children of the Servants than the others had bothered to. She knew that, while they were certainly dangerous to the Legendaries, they were actively wild cardsà most of them had chosen to not bother with serving the duties of man only because they were the society they lived in, as part of the knowledge of their Legendary father had passed down to them. And several of them had their own grudges against mankind, due to the manner they had been treated, not living in the cities who would give them support.

Lacking faith in their own specie who was supposed to support them, and despising the Legendaries for killing themà were those not proper attributes for perfect pawns, who would do anything for the one who helped them?

Indeed, that was CelebiÆs plan. By executing a devious ritual at the beginning of the war, she was capable of ækeepingÆ their souls, and later forced them into continuously resurrecting, every generation or so. Protected from most dooms, they would be her agents, for when her plans became fruitfulà

She created a new word for them, æNephalinÆ, meaning æThey who remainÆ, and began to focus on her plans to bring forth the destruction of her hated foesà Ho-Oh, the Eldest, who despised everything that threatened his rule as the most powerful creatureà Mew, the Bitch, who, despite her best efforts, was the one to tame the heart of the Legendary of Darkness herselfà Jirachi, the Fate, who became fearful and obsessive, despising anything that, in his mind, did not equal æpurityÆà Deoxys, the Hypocrite, who schemed behind the scenes, just like herà but only to try and advance a petty agenda that fit more a mindless creature than anything elseà and those bastards from the other dimension, who were continuously plotting into merging all worlds into oneà which would, ultimately, kill even her!

Stillà her plans were fallible, as well. That was known to her, time after time, as she felt the bitter taste of defeat. Even though she could manipulate time to her will, and was the embodiment of Death itself, she had no way to ensure her plans would work as well as she expected, not being able to manipulate Fate like the bastard.

Still, her plans would eventually work out, she knew ità and her luckiest chance came, once she found the Nephalin of SuicuneÆs oldest child. Unlike the others, Kine Vrizald was not much like his fatherà and while he had a sense of justice and right and wrong, these normally only returned when he became an adult.

Her best pawn, she decided, and made preparations.

First, she reinforced his spirit tracker, an enchantment she had put in every Nephalin soul so she would be able to detect them easily, and set it so sheÆd be drawn to it once he was born once more.

Then, during his next life, she prepared his next body so heÆd be born in a rich family, owning a company, and being raised by the right people.

Of course, little of that mattered to her; the important step was the next one. For about all of his childhood, she manipulated his mind, and forced the memories to come to him much earlier than he would normally have them, almost after his birth. They were also selected so that he would have an excessive dislike for about all Legendaries, except for herself, who would be his one true ally.

This manipulation was not the only one she did in these years, however; she also prepared his forces well, so they would stop any who may attempt to stop her. She was responsible for the coming of the ten who would eventually lead the Nimari, a terrorist group composed only exclusively by PokÚmon, preaching the truth of their causeà but, in reality, being nothing more than killers who just wanted to rid the world of humans and those who would follow them.

And, even if her primary plan failed, she still was working in the shadows, manipulating as many Nephalins as she could to hate Ho-Oh and be willing to fulfill a powerful ritual, that would sacrifice the Eldest and bring forth either an age where she would be among the most loved of all creatures, or one where she would rule over all.

And, if everything failed, she believed she still would have the pleasure of seeing the world die, safe in her own realm, and being loved by those souls she spared from the eternal torment theyÆd be subjected to.

However, things did not go her way at all. One of the Nephalins, Artea Sander, had managed to completely and utterly ruin her plans, both by killing every single Nephalin she had manipulated, and by NOT killing the stupid phoenix as she wanted, but instead, giving it still a chance to return, as the ritual completely failed!

Worst of all, this was all brought upon by a mistake those idiots had done! They had allowed that humans take some of Groudon and KyogreÆs genetic material, and thus they were able to replicate the bastardsÆ in human formà only worse, since now they were viral as well!

She imagined Deoxys must have been pleased, back when he found out. Well, she did not know how he reacted later, when the two revived bastards were killedà by that Nephalin. Well, it had been their fault for stealing the humanÆs object of affection and lying to him, in that case.

Since that time, not much happened. The Legendaries still waited for Ho-Oh to return, as his essence was not truly goneà but it was nowhere as well. The humans had begun the arduous process of bringing back their former glory, both on their civilization and their manner of training PokÚmon, and slowly, more and more PokÚmon were becoming æAwakeÆ, becoming more than mere mindless animals.

Stillà Fate has never been kind to these creatures, and no matter how one tries, a personÆs fate is inescapableà

The Plot

As you may have seen, this game has a very complex storyline and plot. ItÆs kind of important that you read the stories æRemainingÆ and æThree dots.Æ before playing, but not obligatory.

This RPG deals with several mature concepts, and an open mind is absolutely required to allow you the highest amount of pleasure derived from this game.
-=-=-=-=-
The Rules

1%) ALL character molds from ANY sort of canon, with certain exceptions, are available. So, if you canÆt think up an original character, youÆre more than allowed to use one from the animÚ, game, or mangß û with certain adjustments. However, be aware that, if you want to use one of these, youÆll have to adapt them, given how this is FIVE MILLENNIA IN THE FUTURE.

2%) All ideas, questions, and such go through my thorough inspection, before being used.

3%) ALL characters must have full sign-ups, including the ones that arenÆt important. Chances are they will be.

4%) You can have up to six PokÚmon at the start of the game. These numbers are variable, and you must also respect the classÆ characteristics.

5%) Every PokÚmon starts with a maximum of four moves. These can be of ANY type the PokÚmon can learn, but make sure to explain where they were learnt somewhere (PM or post). Also, be wary that moves may work a bit differently, given how it's in my vision.

6%) For PokÚmon, age works differently. After about a year after birth, the PokÚmon is deemed mature (in general, the following PokÚmon automatically evolve upon coming of age, although not necessarily). By comparison, said PokÚmon would be at the human age of 5, although it would be technically as intelligent as a preteen or teen.

Wynaut

7%) There are NO random encounters; all trainers you meet have been created especially for this task, and you wonÆt have to battle anyone you donÆt want to battle. This leads to the point below.

8%) If you want to have ANY PokÚmon in your team besides the ones you start with, make up a list containing all the ones you want to find in your path. Arrangements will be made later for each match. Be aware of one thing, however: the list is UNCHANGEABLE. You forgot to list something? You lost the chance.

9%) Given how different characters have different bios, special points will have to be discussed for future plot activity.

10%) NO Legendaries are allowed, mostly due to plot reasons, but also because I want to stop you people from being ³ber-idjits.

11%) Listen to me, and donÆt bug me.

-=Race List=-
|HUMAN|


Regular: Your run-of-the-mill human. Can be a trainer, coordinator, Gym Leader, nurse, officer, thief, Team Member, or the escambau.

Hybrid: A special kind of human, this character has a PokÚmon father and a human mother. BE AWARE THAT BREEDING MUST BE RELATIVELY POSSIBLE FOR THIS CHARACTER TO WORK. These characters have minor PokÚmon abilities based on their specie, which must be denoted, as well as be more affected by natural instincts than humans.

Nephalin: A Nephalin is one of the few children of the Legendaries, having as a father one (and only one) of Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, or Rayquaza. Details are supplied upon choosing. THIS CHARACTER MUST BE REQUESTED BEFORE YOU WRITE THE PROFILE!!!

|POKÚMON|

Regular: A typical Awakened PokÚmon. Basically, these PokÚmon are self-aware. Preferably, youÆll want a PokÚmon thatÆs capable of fighting on its own instead of just using others to fight for him.

Hybrid: A special kind of PokÚmon, this character has a human father and a PokÚmon mother. BE AWARE THAT BREEDING MUST BE RELATIVELY POSSIBLE FOR THIS CHARACTER TO WORK. These characters have different heights, when compared to regular PokÚmon (either too tall or too small), and their abilities are weaker when compared to other PokÚmon. They also look significantly humanoid, even when not... at all.

Shadow: A PokÚmon that had its heart sealed by the darkness. These PokÚmon are divided into two groups: the first one had theirs forcefully closed, and are excessively prone to violence and bouts of anger, while the second group willingly sealed theirs, becoming cold and ruthless. While both have an excess of negative energies, the former have been consumed by them, while the latter control them instead.

Pure: Excessively religious PokÚmon, these PokÚmon offered their souls in exchange for power to the Legendariesà and the Legendaries, in kind, gave them full elemental control. Howeverà these PokÚmon have a problem; their personalities were corrupted by the PokÚmon and element they chose, and thus, they suffer from personality dysfunctions related to their choice.

Yo.

Name: Raiga
Age: (Mental) 17 (Years) 3
Gender: Male
Specie: Raichu (Pure)
Personality: Raiga took in the power of the Legendaries because of the pure power of destruction. Raiga is highly destructive against human items and Thunders and ruins are said to follow his part. Raiga is completely insane and changes personalities in a very confusing, and often lethal, pattern. One minute, he can be friendly and nice and the next moment again, he can hate your guts. His true self is lost in all of this, and he can no longer remember anything before he got his power, and even the things after that are very clouded. He doesn't like hurting other Pokemon though.
Specialty: Destruction. Most things raze after a couple of Iron Tails and Thunders.
Appearance: Raiga is actually a very normal Raichu, except that his body is covered with various scars and wounds. He usually also have some fresh patches of dust or blood on him after the previous victim of circumstances (aka. being in the same area as he was).

I wish I could say it was pretty good.

Unfortunately, it isn't.

First of all, you should have demarked exactly which element your character chose, and then the PokÚmon that rules over it - and just so you know, just because he chose Electricity doesn't mean BOTH Raikou and Zapdos gave him power. And he doesn't need to be a Pure for the element of Electricity, either.

Secondly, you misunderstood a bit about the oddity your character should have... but eh. If you do want it, you can have it, it's just... *sigh*. Also, why does he hate human items? Add that.

Third... NO THUNDER DAMMIT!!! For a starter, only Thundershock or Thunderbolt, at max!

Fourth, you forgot the bio.

Fifth... your character IS affected by the Purification somehow, even in its skincolor.

Sixth, why does he not like hurting other PokÚmon, but he likes hurting humans, who, in a way, ARE PokÚmon? Jeez.

Please fix these.
