Dulce Et Decorum Est

" My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori."

It's still hard to believe that despite recovering from a Grecian disaster worthy of fear and reverence, a disaster that shook apart continents and rendered our planet asunder, despite learning from our past's mistakes, despite knowing the full-well consequences of these actions, that we as a species still participate in war.
War. Conflict. It's all that you see nowadays. Alien creatures of vast, majestic power roam the very lands that we once called our home. I'd like to think that conflict is embedded in our genes. It's our very flaw. We repulse the very idea of peace. We love war. The same cycle. Over and over again in history. Don't tell me it's a lie. You can't lie about the past.
And it's the same now. Conflict everywhere. People sate their inner blood-thrist by supporting the Pokemon League, cock-fighting, forcing animals to fight against one another for entertainment. Leaders of our society, no, not the Kanto Provincial Government or the parliament. I mean, the Champion, the Elite Four. Civilians these days respect trial through combat, power. What is a politician to a crowd-favourite, a trainer who can control multiple dragons. The League is the government. Our government literally runs on blood-sport.
The year is 1462 N.B. Four years and running into the bloody conflict that is the war between Kanto and Johto, the current powerhouses of this new era. Each side doesn't seem to waver nor tire. Yet, it is obvious that the foundations that once laid upon our fresh-grass fields are now composed more of our people rather than flowers.
When will the bloodshed stop? What will it take? Until we realise all around us lays bodies. Until we look at the casualty toll and realise the sole, intrinsic value of one human life. Until one nation is crushed underneath the heel of another. One thing is for certain....
It's not going to stop soon.

Dulce Et Decorum Est takes place in a hyper-realistic Pokemon AU that I've created by myself over the few past years. You are a member of the Kantonese Provincial Army, newly drafted into a platoon with other new recruits, and taking the fight against those fucking, imperialist, Johtonese scum or at least, that's what the recruitment posters say. You are merely one of the thousands to be thrown into the meat-grinder of weaponized supernatural creatures and mechanized warfare.
Intricacies of the Setting
1. The Brink, known collioqiually as the Terra-Divide or the Shattering, was a event that is recorded in this world's history book to be the sole cause of Pokemon existing on this world in the first place. The Earth was rendered virtually irrecognisable from its former self, the main proponent of this being the Legendaries.
2. The League is a extremely powerful entertainment syndicate in this universe.
3. Most of the canon regions are the remnants of former real-life countries. Kanto is the remnant of South America. Unova is the remnant of North America. Kalos is the remnants of Europe. And so on.
4. Pokemon in this universe do not have access to moves. They merely act as animals and have abilities unique to them. So, you will not have Raichu performing an Earthquake or some crap like that.
5. Pokemon in this universe are dangerously hostile animals that require giant walls to be kept out and regular cullings of their populations so that cities aren't overrun by them. Most species are extremely dangerous to handle and train and training these dangerous species are considered counter-productive to your lifespan.
For now, this is merely a interest check. I haven't decided the limit of the group, yet.
Requirements for people who want to join this RP is to....
1. Be literate. I expect a good amount of literacy.
2. No god-modding.
3. No NFSW, holy shit, tentacle hentai, pornography.
4. Have fun.
If you have read this interest check correctly, please ask a question. This is also acting as a FAQ thread. Please don't say that you're just interested.
And with that....
