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 !

citrus Lol and she will never know...at least until he like, strips in front of her or something, like he did to Delilah (hey he was changing into his swimsuit ok). Nima knows his optimism can annoy people, so he can tone it down a bit depending on the situation. I'm curious to see how they'll get on, and you never know until you thread it out!
And I am down with a thread between Victoria and Raza as well. His mental scarring is...not obvious but...well basically he's really unstable lol. So this should be interesting =3
Sorry for being so MIA! Life is hectic, and I'm moving. I should be good to go after about a week!
haha plotting is sort of undermined currently, lets bring it back!!
i'd love for them to be bros, the more friends the better! Jayden can be anywhere you'd like including the training arena, he and hisham could chat/battle depending on what hisham's take on rudeness/constant irritation is (Jayden's gotten better since the six month skip, but he's not ever going to be nice, persay). I saw that Hisham already knows Heal, so that might help along their relationship towards a more friendly path.
Lacey would definitely look up to karimi a lot, seeing as she's a powerful and much more knowledgeable researcher, but as for what first catches her eye first, it would definitely have to be the fact that karimi has blue hair. Lacey's never met anybody with blue hair. She's currently stuck in proserpina, but getting out depending on how fast i can post for king!
I'd love to hear any other ideas you have, and I would be down for threads with either or both of these plots if you're up for it!
tbqh if hisham is ever like...actually rude, that's when you know that you have his respect lmao. he's not into picking on people who are near-civilians at best. that respect isn't just about battling ability, tho. battles are just a sport to him, albeit people are willing to bleed for their sports. hisham is also looking for other forms of strength. but training partner status sounds good. his main battle pkmn are like....around lvl 15-20 or so tho
she can come braid it for her i mean what
dude i can probs thread you out of anywhere lmao. but yeah she's like one of the only two non-retired veterans on kohaku so not a lot of role models i guess? hehe i'll bring a full party and u can collect dex entries or something
i think you and J might have battled a few times in the battle arena? i might be misremembering but in the event that i'm not -- wanna have a reunion there?
fuck, it wasn't lacey. but my offer still stands bc citrus threads :c
haha Jayden's pokemon aren't the best, either, he's got a few really strong ones that were made stronger with ng+ but the rest are still babies. he'll probably just bring those to the training arena, since he's got the really high leveled ones dream world training.
omg tysm Lacey will be ecstatic, but she'll want to talk a lot with karimi afterwards too, really get to know how she's as strong as she is etc etc!
I can get both up tomorrow! One in Proserpina and one in the training arena sound good to you?
yeah it was victoria and i dropped her, sorry! but i would love to have another training battle with J with one of my remaining characters. Jayden doesn't really like talking much in training battles/is pretty much an all around brat. Lacey's pretty much a peppy version of victoria - she'll flat out declare her respect for J(or any strong eos member, for that matter) instead of holding it in like victoria. If they meet more than once or twice like victoria and J did she would probably consider him more of a friend than acquaintance. I'm up for whichever one you choose or both!
he's not added in yet, but i would really like to plot my new agent with both of your agents if you're up for it, vertigo and toska!
"into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely."
i don't mind threading either lacey or jayden. a few battle arena threads would be cool to get to know lacey, and i feel like jayden is better met in the region itself?
i have two agents, iskander and ismael. iskander's more of an intel person that stays in the shadows, while ismael's not really in the fray yet. he's still battling the hades virus infection, and is overall a very sickly person. he hasn't met his scourge partner yet, so as far as rping is concerned, he's a weak ... civilian.
there's also ignatius, a researcher. i need entries :C he's got a backstory that basically involves his family members dying, and other than that ... nothing much of note. his family's pretty well-known in sol city/amongst academics/high society, though.
a few battle arena threads sounds good to me! i'm a little bit behind on my threads at the moment, but if you're willing to wait a day or so i can start the first training arena thread and/or depending on how the other characters work out, the other threads as well!
jayden doesn't really get along well with anyone at the moment, so I'm not sure how well he and J would mesh/how easy it would be to rp out a thread with the two of them, but he could definitely help ignatius get a couple(meaning six if we have one thread, haha) dex entries! any class outside of trainers is completely new territory to him, seeing as he hasn't met a single non-trainer since joining eos. he can be anywhere before sol city(maybe have heard of ignatius's family here and there if they're ever mentioned), we could have a thread at where ignatius is currently stuck in, kill two birds with one stone, if that sounds okay?
as far as agents go, i mostly want to get ethan acquainted with the current agents out there. it might be easier to meet ismael than iskander, maybe not, depending on how wide their scope of travel is?
i've wanted to thread with you for forever wah, let's be friends!
thalia and jayden should meet! jayden's harbored this secret fear of the scourge for as long as he's known about them, and thalia seems to have fought about a million and one of them, he could use the heads up/experience. it might also do his character development well to meet someone who's so much stronger than he is as well, tone down his ego a bit.
batin and ethan, maybe? ethan's got serious alter-ego/identity issues that he does his best to hide, batin was once someone completely different. any ideas?
"into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely."
ismael's not officially an agent yet. he's grappling with life-threatening issues at the moment, and iskander's hellbent on hiding his identity. i think my agents are pretty unconventional lol but as far as things are concerned, a casual thread between ismael and ethan could work.
i'll wait for you to start the arena threads then.
as for jayden and ignatius, i figured we could thread in the pokémon center and then start switching out pkmn from the pc to go through all of them. it works this way i swear. the grimms are pretty famous for their contributions to kohaku university, but nowadays they're mostly famous for their sudden and rapid deaths occurring once every two years. (they're probably mentioned here and there for various reasons.)
J and jayden, uh. J's pretty casual and quiet so if anything he definitely won't bug jayden? we could figure out something at some later date lol
thalia and jayden sounds really fun! do you want a casual run-in, or something more plotted? i tried to figure out where exactly he is in terms of locations he can be but...i couldn't lol. but thalia can go everywhere, so just give me a place to start a thread!
BATIN AND ETHAN SOUNDS FUN AF YES OMFG i love all chances for batin to crazy up anywhere/ramble about the batin/zahir divide. any preferences on settting?
a casual thread between ismael and ethan sounds good to me! ethan doesn't have an interest in attacking innocent civilians(yet), but he probably won't reveal his identity to ismael until he gauges that its reasonably safe to. we could see how it folds out in the thread and roll with it, if that's alright with you!
as for jayden and ignatius, yeah, sounds great! they can chat and stuff while ignatius gets all the dex entries down(doesn't have to be about his family, either, Jayden's pretty interested in what researchers/breeders/rangers do in general, maybe any scourge stories to prepare himself for what's ahead).
any preference on locations for the threads above? currently I have three(i'm going to be doing one arena thread at a time!) threads plotted out with you, i can start all three if you want?
jayden can go as far as sol city, he hasn't challenged the gym yet. i can't really think of anything that could be heavily plotted between these two, Jayden's got a very two-track mind, interests wise. as for starting location...cura village, if that's alright with you? could just be a casual run in eos to eos member chat sort of thing, haha.
as for batin ethan thread, absolutely no preference at all! i'm really excited about seeing how these two interact, definitely!
tysm for starting the threads! i'll respond as quickly as i can.
"into the darkness they go, the wise and the lovely."
we could def roll with that plan for ismael and ethan. i'm all for seeing how things unfold in threads without much prior planning, so we're good.
re:ignatius and jayden, ignatius isn't all that experienced as a reseacher, but i think it would be interesting to see them speculate about the scourge in general? a trainer's pov and a researcher's pov, some kind of stuff like that. something to keep the conversation going while the dex entries happen.
i'll start for ignatius and jayden while you start the rest? does that sound good :]
eta: locations, uh, anywhere up to ceres? ignatius can't go any farther than that hahaha and ismael too, for ic reasons.
