Welcome to the Tolnia Region, where the skies and waters are crystal blue and clear. Where the citizens are friendly, and so are the Pokémon. Bird Pokémon fly over the trees tweeting their songs and Pokémon of many kinds carry out their daily lives on the various islands that make up this special region. My name is Acashia and I am the Professor of the Tolnia Region. I study the environments in which each Pokémon lives and thrives. I also give trainers what they need to become a trainer here in this region. It's not like Kanto, or Unova, or any other region. See, the Tolnia Region is a chain of islands and is also one big reserve. Pokémon are protected here, so they must be caught a certain way. I teach new trainers, and old ones too! I teach them the technique needed to use the Ranger Styluses, which is used in coordination with the traditional Pokeballs. Here, Pokémon and trainers don't just become partners, they become the best of friends. However, nothing is as perfect as it seems. There are dangers and rumors of some poachers of these protected Pokémon. I believe there's two groups. One calls themselves Team Tropina, and the other, Team Desrana. If you are willing to take on these dangers and meet new Pokémon and people, then your adventure begins!
~ Professor Acashia, World Famous Pokémon Professor
This RP isn't your typical Pokémon Roleplay. No, not at all. There will be dark themes behind a paradise cover, people actually getting hurt (not getting zapped by a thunderbolt and suffering no damage), aspects of the Pokémon World being emphasized, etc. That being said, let's talk about the basic plot line!
So there will be three Arcs. The first Arc is dealing with your new journey. It's you getting your Pokémon, heading out of the house (or existing region), and hitting the roads in Tolnia. This Arc is you training your Pokémon up and getting used to the islands of this region. This Arc is also about you settling yourself into the region and preparing for the upcoming festival and tournament. You will be getting a Pokedex, Pokeballs, and the Ranger Stylus, as well as how to use the stylus. This Arc will be the shorter than the others.
-The starters of the region are necessary to have. The only exceptions to this is if you get a Pokémon from a family member or friend or if you brought one over from the other regions. Then, when you go to get your stylus, you can have the choice of getting a Tolnia starter or just getting the region Pokedex, the stylus, and the Pokeballs. Another exception is the Eevee line. All Eeveevolutions shall be included, Eevee as well, due to new Eeveevolutions in the Tolnia Pokedex. These are the ONLY exceptions.
- The Starters to choose from:
The Second Arc will be the Tournament. Trainer will be pitted against other Trainers, NPC or actual players, to win pins and continue onto the next round until the Final Rounds at Paradise Stadium. You need 7 pins, 2 Beginner pins (levels 10-30), 3 Intermediate pins (levels 31-60), and 2 Expert pins (levels 61-80). You MUST have 3 Pokémon of level 10 to enter the Tournament. For those that drop out of the tournament or never participated in, you will be a spectator and/or a festival goer. The festival will travel from city to city alongside the Tournament. It is usually held in the evening and at night, though there are stands and game booths open during the day. In the festival, you can enter contests (like the Poke Beauty Contest), play games, socialize, eat, shop, and just have fun. Many of the Tournament participants will usually relax at the festival after their battles so there's never a dull moment. This will possibly the longest of the Arcs. While this is going on, the villains will be collaborating in PM to plan out the next Arc's storyline.
The Third Arc will be all the players banding together to face the Villains, Team Desrana and Team Tropina. They will be forced to get along in order to not only save Tolnia, but also to save the entire Pokémon world itself. This Arc is still in the progress of being made. The villains' goals and descriptions will be revealed in IC.
The Pokedex has over 100 new Pokémon to choose from as partners. There will be two Pokémon that NO ONE can get at any point in the RP. The Legendaries, Foresina and Tiersoma. There is only one of each, so it wouldn't be fair. They will appear in the RP as they are crucial to the villains plot line, however, NO ONE will be able to catch them or defeat them with one or two hits. All starters will be available in the wild, however, their catch rate & encounter rate will be extremely low.
The Legendaries:
RULES OF CONDUCT:
#1: Be Respectful. No cyberbullying, trolling, flaming, or bashing other members. If you break this rule, you'll be warned. (Depending on the severity, you may be banned immediately. We don't tolerate negative behavior.)
#2: Don't create unnecessary OOC Drama. If two more more members have trouble with each other, consult a GM. We'll sort everything out through PM. (The last thing we need is a heated argument in the OOC thread.)
#3 Listen to the Admins. For example, ff we see something wrong with your CS, change it immediately. We have every right to judge your character. If we don't like a certain part, don't create an argument. Our word is law. We have the final say. If you don't like it, then leave!
#4 Wait for Acceptance. You're not allowed to roleplay until your character is accepted by an Admin.
#5 Two Characters Per Member. No one is allowed to create more than two characters.
#6 No Godmodding. We won't accept overpowered, indestructible characters. Incorporated appropriate weaknesses, flaws, and limitations. No Mary Sues / Gary Stues.
#7 No Metagaming. If you have questions about this term, consult a GM.
#8 No Powerplaying. If you have questions about this term, consult a GM.
#9 No One-Lining. A minimum of one paragraph will suffice. However, we encourage more.
#10 Decent Grammar Is Required. None of us are perfect writers. However, it doesn't kill you to revise your posts before submission. Spell check is helpful! Google is your friend! (Please refrain from Text Talk!)
#11 Keep All OOC Chat In The OOC Thread. Don't Spam in the IC threads!
#12 Every Member Is Given Three Warnings & Three Strikes. If you broke a rule, you're given a warning. If you wasted your warnings, you're given a strike. (Depending on the severity, you may be banned immediately. Three strikes, you're out.) However, we're lenient. If you didn't intentionally break a rule, we'll extend the warnings. (This is for people that are defiant and rude.)
#13 Stay Active. For the love of Glob, don't join our Group and never participate! You'll be removed immediately! Everyone is expected to pitch in, including important discussions regarding plots, arcs, twists, etc. (If you have a reason for being inactive, please contact a GM. Don't leave for long periods of time without consulting a Admin!)
#14 One Week Notice. If you're inactive for more than one week, an Admin will contact you. If you fail to answer, you'll be removed from the group. (We're not psychics. If you went on Hiatus, we wouldn't know!) Don't take advantage of our leniency. We won't tolerate rude behavior.
#15 One Week To Submit Skeletons. After you join, you're expected to create your CS right away. However, if you fail to post your CS after a week, you're going to be left behind. If you never post a CS, you'll be removed from the group. (Please contact a GM if you have issues. We're negotiable.)
#16 All Iwaku Rules Apply. I'm sure this is self-explanatory, correct?
#17 Please keep swearing to a minimum! Not everyone likes it, nor wants to deal with it all the time! Swearing will make people leave if too much is used and it might prevent new people from joining! Please be respectful to others and their preferences!

Birthday:

Appearance:
Kathleen has stark black her and grayish blue eyes. She is always seen with her large, DJ style headphones, distinguished with a white skull and crossbones on a red background. She loves to wear necklaces and bracelets she makes, as well as hoop earrings her mother gave to her. Her preferred attire is made up of a low cut white blouse and dark blue jeans.
History:
Kathleen grew up in a very run down home. Her parents were always arguing, mostly about her father being a drunkard and having spent all the money necessary to stay off the streets. Her mother and Kathleen left her father when she was age 8 and she has been very quiet and shy since. Her mother gave her loop earrings that had belonged to her great-grandmother years ago, on Kathleen's 10th birthday to celebrate becoming a new trainer. Her first Pokémon was a Tereaf.
Home Region:
Tolnia
Personality:
Kathleen used to be a very social and hyper kid until her parents split. Now she has become shy and socially awkward. She's always found listening to her music in a place who she can be alone. This doesn't mean that she isn't helpful or kind, in fact she'll go out of her way to make someone's day. She also wishes to gain a friend, but doesn't know where to start. Her Tereaf, Spade, is her only friend to date and they seem as if they were made for each other. She's often seen talking to Spade about anything she possibly could, and Spade listens closely.
First Pokémon:
A Tereaf named Spade

Vidactyl, Kaspark, Pironsea, Pikachu, Dragonite, Spheal
