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!
L. NEO, researcher - A girl from Decima Town, she survived the scourge invasion by running to Bacchus, and then running again to Nerio. Smart, rational, cynical, a little paranoid, apparently a little terrifying (wtf thalia), but I think she's pretty nice. Ultimately a big woobie. She has attracted so many weirdoes in her run at this site that she's open to talking to anybody.
SUN GRIFFITH, ranger - An infamous vault breaker that retired young after a massive heist on Febronia Museum in Hespera. Eventually, the law caught up to him, and he willingly took the fall for his compatriots. In exchange for his freedom, he's fighting the scourge. He's a con-artist extraordinaire, but Griff's usually open, upbeat, and hard to bring down. Dealing with him's easy. Just don't trust him.
ORWELL, breeder - A scourge survivor, he suffers from mild PTSD and amnesia. The amnesiac, Orwell, is the strong and silent type, honorable to a fault. The person he was, Kristoph, is violent, sadistic, and horribly intelligent. Kristoph only comes out to play when he smells blood, so I suggest keeping Orwell at the breeding farm where everything's nice and peaceful.
YAEL, civilian - A reporter and ace trainer, Yael has a background in working pokemon tournaments and covering news on the region's most famous trainers. A softball reporter, she asks easy questions and seeks to make every story human and compelling. She's genuinely kind and caring, even to hades agents, although she's usually smart enough not to be taken advantage of.
toska Considering that the researcher has the vaccines, I am for Orwell and Karimi hanging out. They'd probably get along; I figure Orwell's super easy to get along with as long as you're not an asshole, and you don't mind that he's kinda quiet. He's actually 22 though, so it's not like he needs that much babying.
also. sinclair will personally gut anyone who hurts orwell i'm js who needs pokemon when you have a big gun and sharp knife she'll probably not tell him what's up but do her best to keep an eye out for him anyway
tuyet the famed bereder class yes. Awkwardly, I think Kristoph would also gut anyone that dared harm Orwell, so they'd have to race to see who got to stabbity stabbity first.
vertigo Well, it doesn't feel like an open thread if you don't inevitably hop into it despite already being in literally all of my threads.
Griff can go to Ceres, so he has to hit up Isaac sometime soon. Neo and J should go kill some scourge or something. Orwell's at your mercy for whatever.
people get to them opens quicker than i do, i can't do anything about it. i'd jump them if they sat there long enough, tho.
neo and J could kill scourge, sure. also maybe we can work something out so that i can put J in front of a hades agent for once lol. or we can go to nerio and fill each other out on timeskippy things. and griff and isaac sounds like a plan. orwell ... orwell could thread ismael i guess. he's not exactly a model hades agent either; i've got some sort of progression thing plotted out but yeah.
vertigo I thought J was fighting Physis atm? I'd say J should help her against Cam, but Neo is doing pretty damn well in that one, and I'm pretty sure his steel types are just gonna be a liability.
I'll get Griff's thread for the heart sign started like today or tomorrow. Might wait on it though, he already qualifies, but he hasn't actually done that much in Proserpina yet so it feels weird to move on.
I have no idea what Ismael is like, but okay. Orwell can hang with him. I hope neither of them die.
that battle is apparently happening during the timeskip. it's not really present-time? J needs more levels somehow but yeah. his empoleon and samurott aren't exactly lv90. just tag me in the isaac thread, i'll get to it when i can.
well we could throw them together and see if anyone tries to stab anyone. he's a hades agent, but i'm not playing him as one for the time being.
tuyet Nope. She might look familiar to him, but I mean, she also looks pretty similar to his own reflection, so he'd probably just write it away as that. (Kristoph's memory doesn't extend any further back than Orwell's, so he doesn't really know either.)
vertigo wanna invade lemures circle and check out the rift? because thalia signed you up for running with me, so too bad if you don't want to. I'll have Neo tell him the bad news in the casino thread.
