This world is inhabited by creatures that we call pokemon. People and pokemon live together by supporting each other, but now the scourge threatens the safety of the entire region. Kohaku has become a dangerous place, where children stay at home and only brave souls go adventuring.
Welcome to KOHAKU. Come for the nightmares. Stay for the tea and crumpets.
The season is SUMMER. It is easy for survivors to forage for food from the land, as there are entire abandoned farms ready for harvest. On the downside, you can smell the corpses.

After Courtney left home as a teenager she resided in a small flat somewhere in the metropolis of Nerio City; working at a nearby bar, a high-class yet somewhat shady place. Courtney thrived off of the attention of male clientele, attracting many a customer with her beauty, playfulness and sexual character. Her free time consisted of time with men and the following activities.
At the turn of the scourge her life began to take a turn for the worse; people had more important things to worry about than sex and vodka; their loved ones and family. Left alone she eventually joined the Eos Program, where she is now a trainer on a journey – with perhaps the first true meaning in her life.
FRIENDS
Courtney is a lot like Marmite, you either love her or you hate her. She is outgoing and friendly, but gets on with men much better than women, especially when her charms work. Woman are seen as an entire species of rivals, perhaps due to her man-eating or perhaps due to bad experiences with bitchy girls as school; most likely a mix of both. Courtney varies a lot depending on the person she is with, almost like lots of different masks and in this way she is pretty shallow; to most people she appears self-confident but to those skilled or patient enough...who knows? Her moods can switch very quickly, during battles she is usually happy and focused but if she loses it can quickly turn to rage.
As for lovers she isn't into the whole commitment thing, at least not yet. If your character is more into loose flings or need a night to blow off steam that would fit a lot more with her
Courtney seeks excitement in her life above all else.
Eva, or Evie as she is known, grew up in a particularly large family above their shop in Sol City. Along the beach this shop sold a variety of sweet vintage and novelty gifts and through her adolescent years she found herself working at the till, handling customers and reading during empty periods of the day.
She has always been a bit of eccentric, bullied at school for her quaint attitude and peculiar fascinations; she seemed to ignore this however, perhaps partly because she didn’t fully understand. Her parents were constantly worried and never truly knew what to do with their second oldest daughter.
Her family began struggling in the scourge for business, and much to her parent’s refusal she became a breeder in the Eos Program. Without any prior breeding experience the choice of role mainly came from a strong maternal instinct in her nature and an unhealthy interest in the act of breeding.
FRIENDS
Evie has never truly had any true close friends, sometimes playmates but never truly friends, mostly because of her eccentricity. On the other hand she is a kind and caring person who in theory would be a great and loyal ally despite being somewhat embarrassing. Sometimes she manages to scare people with a genuine interest off with badly placed comments and theories, although someone with an understanding personality would likely have no problem.
(whispers the page is WIP but can i post in it anyway?)
in any case, delilah is similar to courtney in a few ways? she's not quite the hardcore partier she used to be, but that's probably because she lost the use of one of her hands a year ago. it might be interesting to see how they get along?
cameron is an agent, and i feel she'd find killing courtney worth it -- she has a chip on her shoulder and dislikes rich people in principle, so they probably will end up less-than-friends.

we need to thread when i finish my own exams gurl <3 i'll snag you on pms and start a thread for us when I get out wherever will help you the most on getting courtney near the scourge!
Okay, first of all, does Courtney love her Nincada yet? And second: “Woman are seen as an entire species of rivals” sounds like such a fun invitation. I’m taking it. Somehow.
Felizia – Okay, so I’m guessing that Courtney doesn’t like her. “uncouth spectacle of a woman” you said. I’m up for anything that involves them not getting along. Felizia would purposely try and annoy Courtney and wind her up, and Courtney’s free to get back at her. So she counts as one of the specius rivalus? (wow, look at my bs latin). I’m seeing it learning more towards the bitchy side than the fighting over a man since the characters I write are usually as romantic/sexual as a sponge (my fail, not theirs) the bitchy side is more fun anyway.
Tiffany – Tiff is from Nerio too so idk I want to say she met her at the fast food place she worked at, but I can’t imagine Tiff eating fast food. Ever. I just can’t see it. Courtney sounds like a shopper though, so maybe they shopped at the same malls or something, and Tiff admires her sense in fashion ‘cause she thinks Courtney has great taste. Also, potentially awkward moment when they appear in the same thread wearing the same top/whatever (awkward mostly ‘cause I don’t think Tiff has the cleavage to wear the same tops Courtney has lol). Also: boob envy.
Courtney's has been updated and Eva has been added - tagging people who have posted here plus people who I have an interest in posting with or have expressed interest to me (sorry guys, I'm probably missing some people too)
We've already thrown Mordecai and Courtney into a thread together. I have... no idea which direction it will go in, but I think it'll work out in the end? I'm assuming the thread takes place shortly after Courtney has her epiphany?
i'm honored that you have an interest in plotting with me, so here i am! |D were there any of my characters in particular that interested you? these are just a few ideas off the top of my head. please tell me if you have more for any of my other characters <3333
my breeder, artemis sharrow, also happens to be from sol city, like yours. but artemis is a few years older than eva is. they also seem to be EXTREMELY opposite. while eva is always working and reading and by herself, artemis is extremely... out there and social and outdoorsy. she has a money spending problem, so i'm sure she would have shown up at eva's gift shift constantly. if, on the road, artemis ever ran into her, she'd probably LOSE HER MARBLES. 'cause seeing someone from home- even if she didn't know eva well back then- would give her all this happy nostalgia. she'd try to be eva's best friend after that, just so she could keep a little piece of home close by
artemis would probably blatantly hit on courtney. artemis swings that way. and the fact that courtney is always getting with men would make artemis all "WHAT DO MEN HAVE THAT I DON'T? I CAN BUY THE NECESSARY PARTS." but i don't think artemis has been to nerio city. so i doubt they'd have met before now |D
in fact, none of my characters have really been to nerio city. but my trainer, cameron... would probably stare at her boobs while he talked to her. 'cause damn. he knows a good looking women when he sees one.
I have another character now. Deryn. You can add her to Courtney's rival species.
Deryn is also from Sol City and eighteen. She wouldn't have bullied Eva, since there would have been nothing to personally gain, but she wouldn't have defended her either. Or even talked to her. She might have said something once, something along the lines of "Can you grow some balls and defend yourself already? It's depressing to watch you get owned by mole-face/fatty bom bom/Girafarig neck all the time." (Never ask her to do a pep talk).
That aside, she thinks Eva's really weird and weak, and 'very surprised' wouldn't cover her reaction to finding out Eva joined the EOS Program.
Apologies that I haven’t replied earlier! I’m flattered that you would like to plot. Since you tagged me, I made another charrie which might interest you as well? So far, I’m working with Karp Rosewater, 18 year-old trainer from Cura Village, and McKinley Duquette, 32 year-old researcher from Fallarbor Town in Hoenn! @hatti
Here’s my ideas:
Courtney & Karp: Karp recently found meaning in his life through the scourge threat as well. He’s a bit younger than Court, but that could be interesting. He’s kind of rural and hick-ly in comparison to Courtney’s ilk. He’s also prudent and overly caring which she could find quite interesting. I see her trying to tempt him into hanging loose. The kid isn’t a stiff, boring guy, but he’s just from a different world. In a PG-rated plot tho, I could see them doing something reckless together (jump from a waterfall or some shit). He’s a thrill-seeker and I’m sure she fits the same bill.
Courtney & McKinley: Yeah, these two are quite similar. He’s a heavy drinking, always lusting adult. I mean if you’re interested, they could have some sort of fling. The guy’s not a womanizer but he manages to bed a good amount of ladies. He’s not for commitment as well, considering his one true love died in the beginning of the scourge. McKinley’s foreign and a bit mysterious. He had a purpose in life before but now it’s exacerbated into near obsession with the scourge. I could see these two having some fun meetings, tho.
Eva & Karp: Not necessarily runaways but they have similar backstories. Karp pretty much hits all the points of a person that would get along with Eva. He’s understanding and possibly quaint in the same way she is. They’re both caring of their pokémon which might be a magnetic trait that brings them together. Family-friendly friendship, it seems like. But don’t get me wrong. Karp is as everyman as it gets. He’s definitely not as eccentric as she sounds. Yet, he’s just the farmer boy that could get along with a girl like her.
Eva & McKinley: Honestly, I could see their relationship being built out of her theories of people and pokémon. McKinley likes when people think out of the box but might also give her a dose of reality. She’s basically half his age so he would feel liable to protect and guide her. Possibly into becoming something quite different than he is. I’m kind of interested in this dynamic a lot, so it’s up to you if you want to thread these two.
uh, which out of my characters would you like to plot with? (issei is stuck in bacchus, and iskander is currently staying in juno.) isaac's an overall nice boy, a bit pessimistic and distrustful of humans in general. he's one of the delacroix siblings if that meant anything. also J is an overall nice guy (apparently) that has a past to hide, doesn't talk much though.
lol, tbh, if you plot with me more than likely the plot would go in a different direction. it's just easier to thread then figure out a plot from there.
