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.

GRAND OPENING !
Welcome to KOHAKU REGION's grand opening! If you're interested in joining, come check out our grand opening giveaway!
? everything about jayden is a turnoff, and deliberately so. he's rude, cocky, confident, arrogant, easily jealous of others' successes and a sore loser, too. most of this is a purposeful front; deep down, jayden has huge respect for those that are strong and fears his own weakness, which he refuses to admit exists. he used to be outgoing - and maybe he can be again, someday - but the bitterness of his past has taken over so much that he's now only either irritated or angry around other people. he gets frequent headaches, is incredibly stubborn, and has a two-track mind of getting stronger, stronger than anyone while searching for a certain someone.
? jayden is an ng+ trainer that already has a plot going on, so the biggest thing for him is strength right now. i'm looking for hades agents and scourge to battle on the road to unlocking 1oo+!
? coming from a town that wasn't brutally attacked by the scourge, lacey isn't exactly the child that she always seems to be on the outside. she's friendly, cheerful, an eternal optimist, but her interests are flighty - she feels more connected with pokemon than people, and sometimes really lets that show through. she laughs a lot - more than she needs to, sometimes, but they're usually never faked - sometimes with you, sometimes at you, and has a mischievous side to her. lacey is incredibly manipulative when she wants to be, but she is also gullible herself, and that's where she draws her experience from. she's thrilled to meet anybody that cares about their pokemon beyond the simple duty they're bound to by their occupation(class).
? all of lacey's pokemon are vaccinated, but since the new game wiped her entries clean, she's always looking for new pokemon to scan. she'll gladly give vaccines to anybody who allows her to scan and look at their pokemon, but assumes that everybody who's not a researcher is a trainer, for some odd reason.
? after losing his brother in the attack on decima, ethan is essentially a shell, and it's aiden who inhabits this shell. taking on the personality of his brother to preserve his memory, ethan is very energetic, outgoing, and generally friendly even in the face of bitterness or extreme pessimism. he acts very childlike, and doesn't like questions he doesn't know the answers to, will tear up when he's asked about his past. while 'ethan' is hardly there anymore, there are parts of him that still show through in things scourge-wise. vengeful, merciless and almost sadistic when he gets into a battle he really cares about, ethan would like nothing more than to cleanse the world of the people(not scourge, it was humans) that condemned his brother to death and build it anew. emotionally unstable and only answers to aiden, there are times when he's unsure who he really is, who actually survived in decima and who died.
? as it stands, ethan is currently the weakest hades agent, but also least known. he hasn't had a single battle yet, and i'm definitely looking to get his name out there, so if there are any new eos trainers who'd prefer an easy hades agent battle, ethan's the ideal pick(his scourge partner is a spiritomb.)! i'm also searching for the old/newer guard to get him acquainted with his allies for when they meet, later on.
[attr="class","information4"]#oo4 neil vonce(?) ? breeder, twenty-one
[attr="class","blurb"]
? he's the strange kid that every city/community has, except in neil's case, he turned from eccentric to criminal with little to no morals(or conscience, for that matter). neil is fascinated with many things, especially how the human mind works, and is constantly experimenting on real people in real situations to get the results he seeks, by whatever means necessary. whenever he gets immersed in an experiment, he gets very passionate and perfectionist about the results, and can borderline obsess over it until the experiment 'ends', by one means or another. out of all the people in the world, there's probably only one person that he has any ounce of feeling towards, and that person's planning on punching him in the face when they meet again. other than that, neil treats people as mere test subjects in either his experiment, or the big experiment that he likes to call 'life'. you can always get him talking about something philosophical or poker, he's very passionate about poker. views the world in shades of black and white, sees himself as the black most of the time.
? neil has a good(?) friend that ended up in jail on the contingency that he got away with no consequences. i've got a plot going on already, but he never hesitates to use crime to get what he wants. i'd like some possible criminal partners, perhaps!
Victoria & Jered could be acquaintances. I mean, her cold demeanor would probably turn him off, but I think as a researcher, he would be interested in associating with her so he could obtain some of her Pokemon's offspring. They could be strictly business, or maybe they become closer? It's totally up to you, although she seems less than willing to make friends.
Jayden & Jered could battle at some point. I know we talked about it briefly when I had first joined, but now I've got Jered's starter Pokemon all situated. I think if Jayden reacted rudely to Jered, his temper would flare and a battle would most likely follow. Jered isn't one to pick at others' weaknesses, but if Jered won the battle, it could stir up some strong emotion relating to Jayden's parents and cause some commotion?
all right, let's do this c: delilah probably won't get along with either of them -- victoria is no fun to party with, in her mind, and wow jayden can anyone say r00d? but she won't hesitate to get into a fight, verbal or physical, with jayden if he gets on her nerves? oops.
cameron is an agent, and probably has no interest in either of them except to fight. the agent isn't ... one who makes friends, and i don't think they're willing to associate with cameron and the scourge anyway?
NAOMI &VICTORIA If worse comes to worst they would still be acquaintances, yes. Victoria doesn't like enemies because she thinks they're dangerous and that she's got enough trouble with the scourge as it is. The business deal would probably just be an extra bonus on Jered's part, and would bring her closer to trusting him if only for the fact that he's putting what benefits him on the line if he were to back-stab her. She wouldn't really ask for anything in return since its benefiting the cause she fights for in the first place. Maybe he could teach her some battle strategies/common scourge patterns occasionally in return?
@jayden I would definitely love for them to battle sometime, whether it be in the dream world or real world. Jayden's not very keen on first impressions and it pretty much depends on his mood at the time of meeting Jered. Eventually he'll probably say something rude to Jered and get himself punched in the face for it, and if they really do get into an all-out battle Jayden's not the strongest trainer in the world either, so there's a 50/50 chance of him losing. It'd probably cause some drama and he'll end up not liking jered very much, haha. Do you want a thread for either him/victoria or both? I imagine Jayden being more of a battle arena thread while victoria's would probably be real world, but its up to you!
tuyet @delilah Yeah honestly, I don't think Victoria will get along with delilah at all, especially because parties bring back memories of home that she'd rather forget. She'd have a hard time seeing delilah past the 'just like her parents' veil, with the party attitude.
Jayden has girl issues to begin with and doesn't exactly have the easiest time being nice to him (he'd probably meaner to them than just complete strangers), and would probably say something that could make delilah mad. Would you be interested in a thread, maybe? If delilah has issues with pokemon abuse that could be a way they meet, but its up to you.
@cameron Victoria doesn't like the scourge to begin with and would probably view cameron and her camerupt as a threat. Jayden doesn't exactly care so much about scourge pokemon though, because he vaccinates all his pokemon and the ones not vaccinated he hardly uses, training them on his own time. They could possibly chat, because if Cameron looks like a boy then he'll have an easier time socializing with her. As long as she doesn't make the first move there won't be any problems hostility-wise.
"into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely."
victoria I'm looking at Thalia's bio and they have a little bit in common, enough so that Victoria probably won't be immediately suspicious of her for over-energetic bubbly types that deserve suspicion. After all the adventures thalia's been through/the badge she's earned victoria'd probably wonder what it's like/even look up to thalia for advice on future routes?
jayden He'll be rude to her, ridicule any acts of kindness she makes and probably demeanor her pokemon if she has any out while he's at it. She reminds him a lot of Heal, and I'm sensing either slap him or he'll get killed against her in any sort of pokemon battle, and I feel like they would have a high chance meeting in the battle arena being trainers than real world since thalia's so far ahead.
Neither character has made it past ceres forest, but victoria's close. That's all I have for the time being :C
"into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely."
i think delilah/victoria or jayden really pique my interest -- delilah/jayden in particular. she's not particularly against abuse, but she'd probably make a snarky remark
omg !!!!!!! both of those are really exciting ah *^* you wanna throw both of them in a thread with her, or just do one at a time? dream world or thalia backtracking for some reason (maybe she left her favorite shirt in juno) are equally valid 4 me, just let me know which you prefer and i can get something started!
lol J and victoria mainly. been battling a couple rounds in the dream world battle arena, maybe a rl meeting would be different? he's battled scourge once and i guess overall he's a pretty down-to-earth and solid person.
on second thought, have a hades agent too. he's iskander, pretty nice guy, sociable overall, but there's just something off about him apparently. he doesn't actively battle nor does he reveal his status as an agent (like having his pkmn about him), but he's generally helpful. would pop by with healing items and stuff while expressing interest in joining the eos program.
citrus HERROOOOOO! SHOW ME ALL UR POKEMANS. //grabby hands Lolol no but really I swear that is obligatory in all of Nima's threads - let him scan your pokemon. Lessee...Nima is a pretty friendly person, but he's not the sort to let others walk all over him either. I've yet to find anybody who really clashed with him (well Neo did a little but...lol) so it could be fun? And he seems to get on fairly well even with less than friendly people (coughStefancoughGrayson) Fer u edit and a new char!
Sorry for being so MIA! Life is hectic, and I'm moving. I should be good to go after about a week!
2tsunz I don't mind throwing them both in threads with Thalia! Maybe Victoria's could be the real world and Jayden's in the dream world battle arena, since he has more of the higher leveled pokemon? Thanks so much for starting, if you're swamped or anything I don't mind starting one of the two!
vertigo haha honestly I think Victoria would get along pretty well with J even excluding the fact that she knows him from the training arena. As it stands at the moment, she sees him as someone that's strong and that she could learn a lot of things from - the suspicion portion, since his personality's closer to hers than most. I think that if they were to meet in real life, she'd probably ask him how he got his strength/eos related questions?
iksander wow okay so first of all, since iksander looks pretty much exactly like J with a personality flip Victoria would probably be really confused and probably just try to strike up a conversation to try and maybe find out if it was a practical joke or not. Honestly though, if he doesn't pronounce his class to the world then they could have potential talks about (life??) and at least stand as acquaintances, because Victoria's not looking for trouble or hostilities. Either one of them seems like an interesting thread, but generally might just consist of chatter. Any ideas?
nima Victoria's certainly not against showing anybody her pokemon, seeing as researchers are pretty crucial to how the eos retaliation works out. Nima's friendliness would probably offset her at first, but seeing as she's already met various people with personalities similar to his she'll warm up to at least tolerate him given time. She'll probably end up thinking he's a girl, too, tbh, but doesn't think its polite to ask so she probably never will, haha
raza I'm not sure how Jayden would get along with him, but Victoria might sympathize with the impact the scourge has had on his life, since they ripped her life apart too, but in more of a mental sense. I think we'd really just have to thread and see with these two, but what do you think?
sorry this took so long to get to, by the way. I've been kind of busy these past few days!
"into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely."
regarding J, i think that's fine. they could probably chat in the dream world or even thread there out of battle. it would be interesting since i think victoria always has the option to bolt if things are going south in the dream world? not sure what i'm talking about so tired
as for iskander. nope, he's not looking for violence either. if J is her friend in the dream world, all solemn and such, this real world lookalike is definitely different. they'd probably talk about a whole different variety of topics. he'd talk about things like books, but never pokémon-related questions. he's definitely interested in pkmn breeding though.
lemme know if you wanna thread o/ or battle thread, that's good to go too
