The Premise

 

You will be roleplaying as one of the many villagers of Hoja, a large port village located on the south face of the island. Whether you choose to play as a shopkeeper, a merchant, a guild member or maybe just a teen or child yet to find their special role in Hoja.

The Village We Love is a casual roleplay with adventure aspects built into it. Instead of one overall goal, the roleplay will be set up around a series of ‘Quest’ storylines that is similar to how a RPG game might be played.  Each character will share a common goal, and once said goal is complete a new ‘Quest’ will be opened and so on and so forth.

 

• Rules

Most of these rules can be found in greater detail in the thread: Rules of Roleplay, so please give them a read if some points are unclear to you. They will be enforced and all participants MUST follow them to keep the Roleplay Orderly and Fun for everybody.

 

• All interested roleplayers must post their profile applications to the OOC/Discussion thread of The Village We Love OOC.)

• Please keep content of the Roleplay to PG-13. No Blood and gore, Absolute MINIMUM of any vulgar language, and romance is alright but nothing NSFW at all.

• Please be sensitive of your content as well. Racism, sexism, or profanity of any kind will not be tolerated.

• Please respect the decisions and wishes of the DMs of the Roleplay. Our words are LAW...or something close to that...we just want people to have fun!

• The Dms Reserve any right to turn down an application if found to be too obscene, or does not meet the requirements stated.

• Applicants will follow a “Three strikes, you’re out” Protocol, unless the DM finds the situation need to be dealt with otherwise. Three Infringements on the rules will result in the Applicant/Roleplayer being kicked from the Roleplay. This also applies to applicants that do not meet the requirements stated in the application itself.

• Of course; No GodModding, Powerplay, or Metagaming! No Mary Sues or Gary Stues.

• Lastly, depending on the number of Roleplayers we might receive, please wait for about 2 other posts after you had posted your roleplaying post before posting another. This keeps the thread from going too quickly from just 2 other people roleplaying by themselves. There will be exceptions to this rule however depending on the activity in the Roleplay.

• For us to make sure youve read all the rules, out the emoji OuOb under the extras tab in your application.

• So have common courtesy and respect for one another and we’ll all get along great and have a fantastic time!  

And if there are any other questions about the Roleplay whether it’d be the rules or story, ask any of us in the OOC Chat Thread. Thanks!

Arden Application

 

Roleplayer: SleeplessSketch

 

Name: Arden Kardjvr

 

Nickname: Ardy by friends

 

Pokemon Type: Axew

 

Age: 19

 

Gender: Male

 

Appearance: [LINK] Arden is a short ginger boy that is about 5’1” in height. His most notable features are his dark red eyes and his almost hilarious bucked teeth. He’s darker than most ginger-skinned people due to inate sense of adventure and gets out often. His face, shoulders, and knees are littered with freckles. He has a dark-orange curly hair that seems too untamed to even be dealt with. Arden sports a hooded poncho and a simple tank top underneath while wearing worn adventuring shorts while also keeping his feet bare without any foot attires.

 

Job: Guild Member, he’s always dreamed of exploring every inch of this large island since birth and was well influenced by his own Mother Anzel the Haxorus who use to be a fine seasoned explorer herself. As soon as he turned 10 he signed up as an apprentice in the Guild and undertook their jobs ever since.

 

Personality: Arden is a ball of energetic mass in a short package. He’s always out and about doing what he can for the Guild, he’s a little famous for accepting jobs quite quickly but also able to finish them reasonably. He’s an overall nice guy to most folks who deserve it, but he’s also quite quick to blow a fuse when provoked. He’s a tad sensitive about other’s underestimating his abilities, especially when it comes to his height for his age. But all in all in a time of crisis, that’s when his true abilities of perseverance and resourcefulness come into play, though there are some accounts of his own doubt about his own abilities come into play as well, but a quick pep talk of encouragement is all he needs to gain confidence and see through any situation no matter how dire, even though he may not have all the solutions thought out through...

 

Origin Story: Arden has been living in Hoja village for as long as anyone can remember. His mother Anzel the Haxorus was a great explorer from parts unknown that decided to settle down in Hoja village. With great influence from his mother’s exciting stories of her adventures, he was more than determined to become a great explorer himself! And thus a legacy was kept alive through the actions of this young Axew.

Extras: Arden has a slight lisp that comes through his talking whenever he gets flustered or hot-boiled.He also has a small passion to sketch out all the locations he’s discovered as well as the local fauna and wildlife in his secret sketchpad. OuOb

Dusk Application

 

Roleplayer: SleeplessSketch

Name:  Dusk

Nickname: THAT SPOOKY LOOKING NICE GUY THAT RUNS THE GUILD.

Pokemon Type: Dusknoir

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Appearance: [LINK] Dusk is a fairly tall and rather built figure with pale skin and faded black messy hair that sticks out from under his hood. Dusk sports a large cloak over a duster that usually drags beneath him as he floats about. His cloak is actually a reaper cloth tailored to look more wearable than a raggedy old cloth that it usually is, this also goes all the way up covering his neck and at most times his mouth. Dusk also wears a comfy ushanka as well as a couple of soft and sleek white feathers on the top of head and is usually one of the most recognizable feature on him, though not as recognizable as his extremely off-putting as his eyes. They appear to be hollowed out and replaced with a complete darkness when you gaze into them, though the only representation of a gaze is the floating red-pinkish orb that travels side-to-side from one eye to another as he looks around.

Job: Guildmaster.

Personality: Despite his spooky appearance, Dusk is actually one of the sweetest guys you’ll ever come to know. With a passion for the pursuit of knowledge and passing said knowledge and experience to the new generation, he took on the role of Guildmaster without hesitation. Dusk is a huge bookworm and reveres in the art of reading and learning any and all things. He’s very soft-spoken and understanding to other’s well-being, though he is quite clumsy at times and tends to get deeply lost into his own thoughts when he’s thinking about something. Thanks to years of experience under his belt, he’s no slouch either when it comes to tough situations as his cool-headed demeanor shines through as he is able to calculate and think of the best way to solve any problem, preferably without the need for violence, but don’t underestimate his strength either...he’s quite the powerhouse. When no one seems to be paying attention to him.. he can be seen fidgeting and twirling these two white feathers that sit comfortably on the top of his hat...wonder what kind of value they hold to him...and who or what they belonged to...

Origin Story: Dusk was a stranger that happened upon this island during a personal journey he embarked on several years after he was young and fresh out of classes located far beyond the seas of this region. Seeing this new place as an opportunity to learn more about other Pokemon and the world, he decided to settle here for an unspecified amount of time. Over a span of time he had constantly proved himself to be responsible and well fitted as the role of Guildmaster in aiding young adventurers and students in learning about the world and themselves in the process. As a Dusknoir on a spiritual journey to learn more about this mysteriously vast world, his stay may not be permanent here at all, though he makes the best of it and treats it like his genuine home more than anything thus earning his welcome into the hearts of many denizens.

Extras: Dusk is usually an insomniac and can be seen hovering about the Guild Halls acting as sentry or just passing his sleepless nights with a good book he can sink his teeth into...HAH SLEEPLESS. OuOb

Hello everyone!!

I just wanted to say a few things now that we're ready to start accepting apps for TVWL, and give the thread a little push!.

 

First off, once an application is accepted, it will be added to a 'Accepted Characters' list in the Main Thread. Please do not post in the Main Thread until either Sleepy or I have posted the Intro Post, which will kick off all Roleplay activites. Once your app has been accepted you may post in the OOC Thread.

A map of the island drawn by our very own, and very talented SleeplessSketch, along with a list of notable locations found in Hoja Village can be found in the Main Thread as well.

 

Also, regarding the application itself, if you are someone who finds it difficult to write a physical description of your character, you may provide a picture, be it one you've drawn yourself or one you've found online, in place of the aforementioned written description. (But a written one is preferred!)

 

I think that's all i have to add! I'll be posting my own app soon. So with that in mind go ahead and post any reserves or applications.

 

We are open for business!!

@SleeplessSketch, @Lyridian

Honestly, I think this is dead, but I'll have a shot anyway. Just in case.

Roleplayer: Dji

Name: Fey Lin

Pokemon Type: Ninetales

Age: Looks 11 but is actually 17

Gender: Female

Appearance: LINK She weats a light brown dress that ends just past her knees. The dress has long sleeves to hide her hands in case she gets cold or frightened. Her auburn hair is long and wavy, perfect for hiding her face if necessary. She has bright blue eyes and freckles spread out across her face. For shoes, she usually wears white sneakers. In her dress, all her dresses and pants, actually, have holes cut in the back of them so her tail can poke through. All nine, extremely thick, twisted strands of hair that end in white tipped fur. Her ears are above her head, imitating a fox's ears in how big and sensitive they are.

Personality: She is very shy and this can sometimes lead to her not talking with anyone, not even if they asked her a question directly. Her shyness comes from the fact that she is small for her age.

Job: Glassworker

Origin Story: When she was little, Fey enjoyed playing with the pokemon that roamed  near her house. Sometimes, she thinks she can sometimes understand them but she knows that that's nigh impossible. One day, she saw a Pokemon evolve. She saw a Vulpix evolve into a Ninetales through the use of a firestone. When she was caught staring though, she shrunk into her jacket and tried not to stare at it anymore. She watched other evolutions happen growing up, until her parents figured enough was enough and sent her to the village to make new friends.

Relationships: Having only worked as a glassworker for a few months, Fey hasn't really had a chance to get to know anyone in the village yet.

Extras: Fey can live longer than most (according to all the Pokedex entries anyway). While Ninetales are said to be near-intelligent and can understand Pokemon, Fey has the complete opposite of that. She can't understand other Pokemon, and she is only of average intelligence.
