~Welcome to the Santoris Region!~

1614719973977.png

Originally, Santoris was nothing more than an island full of luscious plants and pokemon alike who were living in a natural oasis. As most paradises though, this one was destroyed by the evil known as human greed. Five hundred years ago, vikings heard of the land that lay atop crystal blue waters with pokemon for miles and miles. They trapped the Pokemon for themselves, destroying the wildlife along with it. Santoris was nearing its end, but then suddenly the water was bluer than before, the Pokemon had begun to come back, everything was better than the original oasis that these vikings destroyed, all thanks to Celebi and the legendary beasts. Now here we are in present day Santoris, a beautifully growing region with towns and cities built into cliffs and connected by bridges or short boat rides. There are four main islands: Athenia, Mykora, Pythiana and Delphia. Each island has a statue of one of Santoris' saviors: Entei on Athenia, Raikou on Mykora, Suicune on Pythiana and Celebi on Delphia. Every fifty years, the citizens of the Santoris region hold a festival in order to thank their Pokemon saviors. This event draws thousands of tourists because of all of the events being held. From a 24 hour championship battle to the world’s largest Pokemon Contest to a music festival, there’s always something fun during the week of worship. Even more interesting though, this year marks exactly five hundred years since these legendary beings saved Santoris. Some are hoping they might make an appearance to accept the offerings and worship these people and Pokemon have to offer. A more sinister force though, Team Eclipse, has a plan to make sure that happens…


Rules & Regulations

1. Of course all of RPN rules apply

2. This will be a literate/advanced literate group so I’m hoping for 2-5 paragraphs per response if possible. Please don’t let this intimidate you though, as long as you give more than three to four sentences I wouldn’t worry.

3. As you can tell, this takes place in a new region. However, pokemon from all regions are acceptable. I’ll talk more about the rules surrounding characters/pokemon in a bit.

4. If anyone has any questions about the group in general, rules or ideas for the plot PLEASE message me! I have a general idea for where I want this to go, but I also want this to be a long-term group/ plot, so any smaller plot points I’m totally down to try and make it work!

5. Note: This is my first time leading a group, so if you have any suggestions or tips I’ll accept them gladly lol

6. As for Pokemon, obviously we can’t have legendaries as our partners or on our team. Sorry not sorry. However, if there is a mythical pokemon you’re interested in being your partner, pm me and I’ll tell you if it’s okay because in my opinion there are some that aren’t necessarily as OP as others.

7. Your character can be from Santoris or from somewhere else, however, if you’re a trainer from Santoris please keep in mind that each island only gives out partners based on their statues type; Athenia:Fire(Entei), Mykora:Electric(Raikou), Pythiana:Water(Suicune) and Delphia:Grass(Celebi). Your other party pokemon can be whatever, but as for your partner it must be the matching type.

8. I’d prefer a three character limit for each person, just so we’re not totally interacting with ourselves.

9. I’m gonna go ahead and make it so only two people can have the same partner, I’ll do my best to keep track of that! There will be exceptions, such as Eevee considering they will most likely evolve, but each evolution as well as an Eevee that won’t evolve will only be allowed to be used twice.

10. I feel like a lot of these are confusing so again, if you have questions, please ask! Other than that, let’s get started trainers!

Interested.

For the pokemon teams, do we start at low levels/first stage or can they be anything?
Also are ultra beast's considered legendary/mythical? Like Poipole?

Hey there! It can really be anything! It's up to you how far along on your trainer journey you are :). Poipole is a fine partner I think!
 
Heyo. Interested! And in particular...

It really caught my interest that you said we could be a Team Eclipse Member for our occupation. That sounds like it'd be a blast to write!!

Yes! I would actually LOVE for some people to be part of Team Eclipse. If you PM me I can explain the plan I was thinking of them having or if you had any ideas I’d be interested in hearing those as well :)
 
I'm interested as well! I just can't decide whether I'd want to be a trainer or part of Team Eclipse. They both sound fun!

ELEANOR 'ELLE' HARPER

IMG-7626.jpg. 1AmbPS-pz7EPsj-_qSS_e5Cv02A4Lse-FNztoigYcSY.png IMG-7627.jpg
Age: 20
Gender/Pronouns: She/Her
Sexuality: Straight
Hometown: Delphia Island in the Santoris Region

Character:
-mainly goes by Elle
-sarcastic/dry sense of humor
-not open with her feelings
-good at putting on a happy/cheerful front
-very kindhearted towards her fans and Pokemon
-stays relatively quiet other than the occasional snarky comment under her breath

History:
Being born on Delphia Island was something close to a dream! She was raised in one of the most beautiful places on Earth with a loving mother and father and for a while, life was perfect. Then, when Elle was eight, her father discovered a new star and went on the road to represent her. He was never around anymore and suddenly Elle was left with her mother who was just as lonely as she was. Lana, her mother, quickly buried herself in her own work to pay for her daughter's vocal lessons. She required them, she wanted her daughter to be even more talented than whatever woman her husband left them for. She owned a floral arrangement shop and practically lived there throughout Elle's childhood, forcing voice lesson after voice lesson. Still, the girl found ways of entertaining herself that she wasn't forced into. She played around the Celebi Gardens with the wild pokemon, growing close with them during games of hide and seek or storytimes. It wasn't until her fourteenth birthday that Elle met a small Shaymin in her mother's shop. Usually, Pokemon were forbidden from Lana's shop, but somehow the grass type had gotten in. Elle nearly had a heart attack when she found it in one of the bouquets, but quickly had to hide it as they were leaving for voice lessons, and so, Shaymin went with her. Shaymin didn't stay hidden long though, as Elle was warming up a certain pokemon cried out to try and match her pitch... the attempt was not a successful one. Still, after that Shaymin and Elle were inseparable, and after asking its permission, she caught it and made Shaymin her partner.

At sixteen, Elle's path took an unexpected turn. Her father appeared back on Delphia, arms crossed as he called for her to sing for him. After some aggressive encouragement from her mother, Elle did what she was asked and within months she was taken out to Johto to record an album. Everything happened so fast, she was coached on how to be likeable enough, but also how not to get taken advantage of. All of this before she even turned eighteen. Now, at twenty, Elle only has Shaymin as her mother has passed. Her father is still her manager, but she rarely sees him, phone calls are more his thing. Her next performance is back home in Santoris as the headlining act of the music festival, but her passion for music has severely begun to lack. She's hoping that being home will reignite her love for music and performing, but when she finds out she's a part of Team Eclipse's plan, then how will she react?

Reason(s) for Santoris Visit:
Performing in the music festival

Occupation:
Singer, wannabe coordinator

Partner Pokemon:

Shaymin: Aromatherapy, Magical Leaf, Seed Flair, Dazzling Gleam

Pokemon Team:
NA, this could change depending on how the story goes, but right now she doesn't have any because she never has off time to explore.​

Alright, my basic idea is a character who works for something kinda similar to a pro wrestling federation. Basically, he's a trainer who portrays a character in televised pokemon duels, in this case, a young, villainous spoiled rich kid. The thing is, the duels are real, but the characters are just acting between the trainers to add more "entertainment". He is back in his "home region" for the festival , but has cameras trained on him at all times for a storyline against a rival. I can explain more about who he works for if you want.

Bodyguard.jpg

Age: 21
Gender/Pronouns: Female - She/They
Sexuality: Demisexual Lesbian
Hometown: Viridian City in the Kanto reason.

Character:

Sam is a generally nice person, however she tends to keep to herseslf, as well as keeping the secret as to how she had obtained an Absol as her partner. She's not afraid to speak her mind if provoked, though she tries her hardest to keep herself on the down low.

History:

She was born in the Kanto region, to Emily and Joseph Jones, two well known pokemon trainers. As a young child, her parents ended up losing their lives in a terrible fight. The only remaining thing of her past was her Absol, Snow. Her partner had saved her, taking her to safety, keeping her out of harms way, watching the fight from the farthest she could go. Despite losing her parents at a young age, she tried her best to act normally, never letting the fact that her parents had been murdered in a death match situation.

As the years passed, her team grew, leading up to her finding her next pokemon, and Eevee who felt the need to follow her everywhere she went. She ended up taming the pokemon, though not without hesitation. Her past had already been laced in the death of so many pokemon, and she didn't wish any others to be killed if the same people that had killed her family came after her. She found herself in a new region to once again start anew, and she hoped, with all the power she possesses, that pain and distruction wouldn't follow her, but it always did, didn't it?

Reason(s) for Santoris Visit: Not so much a visit as trying to start anew in a new region.

Occupation: Trainer
Partner Pokemon: Absol
Pokemon Team:

Absol - No

Charmander - Yes

Eevee - Yes

Haunter - Yes

And more to be added at a later date.


How's that?

Ahhh looks amazing! Just keep in mind it’s only teams of 6, for when you add more Pokémon, sorry if I didn’t mention that!
 
You did! I just feel like she'd be more comfortable with just four because of the things that happened in her past.

edit; having a team plasma espeon card makes me want to make her eevee an espeon hh
