searching Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Unknown

[Aureity 3,055]

I love this idea, and I'd definitely join it when it's made!

[Tom The Diamond 1,830]

Alrighty, so I've been thinking, and I skipped a few stones, and soon a plot struck me like a bolt of lightening. Here below is the basic intro to the plot. And odds that once you finish, you'll think it'll be too vague, which is mainly because I'm afraid that if I reveal too much, the RP won't be as interesting, and it'll be more entertaining the more mysterious it is. After all, it is called Pokemon MYSTERY Dungeon. : P

 

Anyway, here it is, without further ado.

 

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Our tale takes place in a time long away from now, on a far away island, far from the mainland where the Pokemon Exploration Federation resides, called Divisa.

 

Divisa is a rather small island, with mountains on it's North side, beaches on it's South side, ancient ruins on it's East side, and forests on it's West side. It's an incredibly diverse island. It's also incredibly rich in minerals too, Gold, Platinum, Silver, these metals and more reside deep under the island.

 

This island was mostly deserted, and it's only inhabitants were mainly Rock/Ground Pokemon, who enjoyed the many goodies that lied below the island's surface. This island was eventually found by explorers, who quickly started setting up some settlements there, and making deals and trades with the inhabitants, who were at first curious and amazed by these foreign Pokemon. The explorers soon established a small colony on the south side of the island, with docks that were soon crowded with ships, all eager to take home some of the island's many treasures.

 

Now lets fast forward roughly 200 hundred years, 500 years after the events that happened at the Temporal Tower; The settlements have since developed into towns, and these towns are now filled to the brink with crime, greed, and corruption. Ancestors of the natives have grown annoyed with all the immigrants not only taking their resources, but also defiling the island with their greed, and the discovery of ruins left by the Ancients has attracted all sorts of Pokemon. And naturally, all this chaos and tension has caused a group of Pokemon to become interested in creating a form of government and order on the island. Four Major groups (As well as countless minor street gangs) all want the same thing; Complete control over the island. And while some groups are more calm and peaceful with their methods, others aren't as afraid to get their hands dirty to get what they want...

 

Quite recently, a small ship has come into port carrying some important artifacts believed to have been from a time far back, when the Ancients themselves were young. Naturally, this has attracted the attention of quite a few Pokemon. Some might want to see what there artifacts are exactly, others may want to see if they can swipe them and get a quick buck off of them in the black market. What exactly are these artifacts, and what do they hold for the future of the island? Only time will tell in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Unknown.

 

 

Well, any thoughts? Like the direction it's going, don't, etc.? Also, I thought up of a new title while typing it, and I personally love it. I did have to resist making an 'Unown' pun, and trust me it was hard. But anyway, just need opinions on the plot, the question above, and if everything goes good we can get this out of the planning stage and into the registration stage!

 

Also, here's a fancy map of the island, ala HG/SS! Hopefully it'll give ya a better idea of what the island is like.

I like where this RP is going! The background story's nice.

Will definitely join.

[Arylett Charnoa 4,919]

Seems good to me, Tom. I can't think of anything that could be changed. But I might later. It's really late and I am off the ass tired.

 

(Also, yes, I'm interested in joining this.)

[Sepia-chan 495]

Interesting plot, I can't wait for it to exist.

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Interesting plot, I would like to see where this goes.

EDIT: I won't be able to go on all weekend so I'd really appreciate if this didn't start over the weekend. Or if it did find some way to incorporate me in or something. kthxbailuvya!

Dear God I'm tired.

 

Anyway, since the Plot hasn't been hated on, I think it's about time to start accepting Character Apps! I've straightened up the OP, make sure to read the settings, character apps, etc. for all that good stuff. I'll spiffy it up further in the morning, but if you wanna go ahead and submit your character, be my guest, it's open now!

Sorry, but I'll have to reject his character. Sorry, but the descriptions are short and suffer from a variety of grammar issues, such as some punctuation errors, as well as run-on sentences. It also isn't too descriptive.

While yours is short, it is rather sound grammar-wise, and overall looks pretty decent. So accepted, though don't be afraid to be more descriptive. And it also wouldn't hurt if you put some more details in your character's app. ; )

Your post is pretty detailed and well written! Though there is an odd tense change in the middle of it. Remember to try to stick to just one tense, I'd recommend past tense since it's usually the most used and overall is well loved.

Any character application that can include a meme and not consist of 1337 language is as flawless as can be.

 

But seriously, very well written, accepted!

Erm... While your character isn't bad...

 

This is a Pokemon RP.

 

Not a Pony RP.

 

So... Sorry, but I'll have to reject ya. :/

Eh, no real release day is set for this. I'll start when there is a decent amount of members accepted really.

So does that mean I can't be in the rp regardless if I make a new OC?

No, of course not! It just means your character is rejected, you can always go and fix up the problems on your character's app, or make a new one completely.

Oh, sorry I didn't mean to respond in that manner and I will definitely have to think of something; maybe a new OC because my current one has too many back stories.

Here we are, meet Lia the Gardevoir.

Just a quick heads up, Beldum and its evolutionary family are all genderless, while you have your character as a male. That could prove to be an issue with the application. Edited July 21, 2012 by Vinyl Octavia Karpington

Pirate Gardevoirs?

 

That is a genius idea that I love! Though you might wanna leave a space between paragraphs

 

^^^ Like that, it makes it a little more easier to read. But aside from that, it's great, accepted!

Huh, could have sworn I did, I usually do... Oh well, it matter little now, as it shall be fixed by the time you read this.

 

Anyway, I had the idea while listening to a commercial for that new Ice Age movie with pirates. Argh, one can not imagine the animosity I have towards Fox right now...

 

Returning to the topic, I can't wait for some Mystery Dungeon adventures! That sounded really cheesy...

Erm, sorry, but I'll have to reject that. It's missing a lot of the required information needed for this RP, and one sentence does not really work here. Your posts will need to be detailed and descriptive. Sorry, but no.

 

===

 

Anyways, to keep this RP from dying off, something that I do not want to happen, we'll be starting soon, possibly Wednesday or Thursday. I know that a lot of folks have shown interest in this yet haven't applied, so please apply soon so you can be in the RP from the very start! The RP will also accept apps up to a week after we've start, so that ponies who couldn't make it/went out for vacation will still have some time to join.

 

But joining late is not very good, it can be confusing to many, so please try to join before we start guys! ; )

 

===

 

And it starts! As stated earlier, sign ups shall extend for a bit, till next week. Please, if you do plan to join, join ASAP! It's always easier to join in an RP from the beginning then in the middle when things are already rolling! ; )

[ShinyRibbonsAndSparkles 164]

Can I join? The old RP died, and I love PMD with all my heart and want to be part of something. If so, I could start typing the description ASAP. (By the way, for some reason I can't view the spoiler with factions. Nothing shows up at all, so I can't really see )
