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!
i'm editing on my phone so i hope this still looks nice?
okay, so i have four characters:
deryn - trainer. current goals: get stronger, get dead scourge bodies for bulwark reward, kick atalanta's ass.
tiff - ranger. current goals: get more signs, fight scourge, map progression.
felizia - breeder. current goals: stay alive, breed pokes, maybe fight for bacchus if she's feeling particulary brave/insane. i think she was cooler in v2 so i'll try get that felizia back.
evylin - researcher. current goals: get the frick out of proserpina, get pokedex entries, dissect shit.
i don't even know what i'm doing with these characters anymore otl. map progression and scourge fighting is all i can think of right now. (and that mission thing?) so if you want someone to fight scourge with or if you're an agent looking to fight lower levelled characters then come right this way~ or if you need someone for a mission.
warning: my replies are generally gonna be as slow as hell.
aside from that and a couple of plots i think i owe people i'm not going to plot too much until i get more free time.
i didn't know who to plot so i tried all of them >>
stefan deryn - wait is stefan the gym leader? or is he and mikhail the same person? if so, deryn may have battled him and she probs looked down her nose the entire time at that weird-looking bird he had. seriously, the other pokemon are cool and all but that bird? did it steal that hat from a rich octogenarian gambler lady? tiff & felizia - idk, they're not trainers and didn't do the gym thing. i've got nothing, unless you want tiff to talk his ear off.
physis maybe one day i'll be brave enough to seriously plot with a hades agent. (deryn is ng+ with level 90s so she might be okay, but she's not all that bothered about scourge and would just walk past physis without a second thought)
hisham felizia - both are bacchus and felizia wants to high-five him for the totodile. she probably thinks he's a dick for caring more about his money than the safety of his home and can go get bit by a scourge bidoof. tiff - tiff is nice and tries to be helpful, so if he asked she'd travel with him and help keep him safe. (but idk do guy even ask 16 year old girls to do that? does it hurt the man pride?) deryn - they're both selfish and don't really care about the whole scourge thing going on in kohaku. they'd get along i guess? a lot more than these "die to save our region" peeps.
karimi felizia - hey gurrrl, wanna see my pokemon? tiff - tiff would love karimi 'cause they both like talking and karimi seems like a really nice fun person to hang around with. deryn - idk. it'd probably be nice for her to hang around an upbeat person too, but i honestly don't know how deryn would interact with karimi.
stefan mikhail is what he is to the public lmao. he has underground connections where he's known as stefan. he became the gym leader like VERY recently so if deryn got the badge before or during the early stages of the timeskip, probs not.
he doesn't have paitience for ramblers, so...he's probably going to eject non-challengers lol
physis lol dude you could avoid dying in the dream world. scorge can't get in. generally physis will leave civilians alone unless they give her a reason not to, so as long as she doesn't see vaccinated pokemon, they're probs ok
hisham ...lol he's actually running his parents' errands, but i think he could be made to care eventually maybe. he's also somewhat paternalistic, so it's more likely that he takes people that he likes under his wing to protect as he moves thru kohaku. he WILL probs see tiff as a kid until she proves otherwise. he knows strength when he sees it. hisham tries to get along with most people? i mean he's pretty aware of the fact that he's probably not going to make the whole journey soloing the scourge.
karimi lol she can only collect scourge entries now since i put her on ng+ oh my god you have no idea this girl just has PARAGRAPHS OF DIALOGUE she's willing to help out newbies tho
stefan/physis aww but i felt so proud of myself for coming up with that octogenarian hat thing. okay, so scratch stefan. and physis too, i think. unless you can think of anything in particular.
hisham felizia was jumping to conclusions then. she does that and doesn't often apologise for it, sorry hisham. now i think about it, felizia wouldn't know his intentions unless he told her (duh, dizzy), so until then she'd be nicer since he's another trainer who's gonna go and take care of the scourge problem. everyone sees tiff as a kid. i'm sure she's used to it by now. i think i meant to say that deryn and hisham could maybe relate a bit better to each other 'cause selfishness and they don't really care about the scourge to the extent others do. sorry, i'm not really awake here.
karimi whoops forgot about that too. why only have paragraphs of dialogue when together these two could probably make chapters. tiff looks and acts like a newbie and would be happy to take whatever help karimi has to offer. deryn though... she wouldn't take too kindly to being called a newbie. i don't blame people for calling her a newbie though since she pretty much is one who just used a cheat code to skip halfway through the game. maybe karimi can call her a newbie, try and dish the advice and deryn can get offended and we'll see how that turns out?
out of all these things here are there any that stand out to you the most?
hisham is a huge bit of a flatterer towards cute girls if that helps w/ feli any lol
hahaha hisham definitely receives selfishness a lot better than most people. he's pretty unapologetic ab it too. not in an outright mean way, but in a kind of casual way
dude karimi is so used to this "accidentally pissing off people" game like you wouldn't believe she tries not to be patronizing tho that may still happen accidentally. karimi is very much an accidents kind of girl haha and i didn't mean proserpina newbies i just meant anyone who wasnt ng+ since that's really the real veteran mark
maybe hisham plots since i still need to figure out how to play him but karimi is also my baby, so. any is fine with me!!!!!
lol the gyarados instructor. he will forever be an inspiration to magikarp -- but back to serious plotstuffs?
over the timeskip, isaac got promoted to the juturna outpost and teaches the heart sign. tiffany can go hit him up for that sign, and it could work as a cool reunion sort of thing.
also i have ignatius, a researcher. i need entries and maybe a couple of threads with you huhuhu
okay, serious stuff. that would be really really cool, but tiff already has the heart sign. can she just hit him up anyway? she could always go to learn a sign off him without realising that different outpost people do not mean different signs. (and maybe mo will finally get to drink that drink that makes people happy)
and i am keen as a bean to thread with ignatius. who do you want with ignatius/which pokemon does he wanna scan?
yes. it doesn't matter if tiffany already has the signs. go hit isaac up, he'll appreciate the company even if he's no longer on the frontlines, heh.
... ignatius will want to scan all the pokémon. he'll probably want to meet near a pc so he can go through your entire collection of 'em. being a researcher means you need to be thick-skinned sometimes. i guess he'll eventually thread with everyone, but for now he's hanging around proserpina for easy scans (see: pc availability).
sweet, i'll try and get that thread started tonight
since there's a pc why the hell not let's take advantage and see just how many pokemon felizia has. i'll probably start that one too. they seem easy enough. unless you're compelled to beat me to the punch.
