My characters biggest goal would be to fight for his right to party XD No, it'd probably be just being recognized. Three minor goals would be gaining friends, being happy, and attaining all those badges. I do indeed need a bit of help, it would be appreciated.

1) Is interested in playing. Yar 2) Has a character concept. Taph is a boy of 12 raised by his uncle after his parents were mortally wounded by a legendary pokemon on their hunts. He was left many pokeball designs, and journals from his parents and after several years of research and tinkering, he finally feels confident enough to start his own destiny. Although it's not clear if Taph wants revenge or simply to finish his parent's capture, he will do anything it takes to find the legendary they were searching for. 3) What is your character concept? Capture specialist 4) Do you have a starter chosen and what is it? Horsea 5) What other five pokemon would you like in your team at the end of the story? (Excluding a legendary, Venasaur), Magneton, Misdreavus, Ursaring, Houndoom 6) What is your characters biggest goal? To finish his parent's work. 7) What are three minor goals for your character? Raise a Kingdra, Design a masterball, have own unique collection of pokemon 8) How long do you need to finish your character? Done 9) Do you need any help finishing your character? Done

Okay, just putting this out there for you Trevor.... Your starter would be Nidoran♂, not a Nidorino (Evolution at level 15). Also, I'm curious if your Nidoking is your starter Nidoran. Question five is for the five OTHER pokemon you want on your belt. I'm assuming that with your goal of catching a legendary, you're open to any legendary filling out that last spot. However, if the game becomes a common gym grind, catching a legendary may be a little tougher to work into the story since you wouldn't have a lot of time invested in researching or hunting a legendary. Also, feel free to inbox me any questions or needs you have regarding your character.

3) What is your character concept? Character was born in Kanto and is the son of one of Kantos best trainers. He never entered the Pokeleague however and instead settled down and had his son. The character took after his father and was always interested in adventuring and raising his own pokemon too. Because he wasn't allowed to raise a pokemon on his own he would often be on the PC just researching and using battle simulators, this led to his father believing he couldn't handle the responsibility because of how different the PC is from the real world.When he hit 15, His father changed his mind and gave him his first pokemon, a porygon to fit how his son learned so much about the world of pokemon. They trained in town a little and after a few months he decided to leave and follow in his fathers footsteps. 4) Do you have a starter chosen and what is it? Porygon 5) What other five pokemon would you like in your team at the end of the story? Crobat, Marowak, Foretress, Lanturn, Houndoom Seriously though, looking through the pokedex way to many pokemon interest me, dont really care what I end up with to an extent 6) What is your characters biggest goal? Make his father proud of him 7) What are three minor goals for your character? Make it to the pokemon league, Become a gym leader, Gain self confidence 8) How long do you need to finish your character? could probably finish it extremely quick once I figure out what im doing 9) Do you need any help finishing your character? Ya probably

3) What is your character concept? A shy kid who comes from a family of theatre types. He has an affinity for the dramatic and has a whole over the top persona designed for when he becomes gym leader. Finds it hard to be the centre of attention unless in costume. Spent a great deal of his childhood reading fantasy novels and is enamoured with the idea of saving a kingdom and marrying the princess, though perhaps in a bit more abstract sense.

Okay. Just as a heads up to everyone so I can keep this from getting out of hand. There are no openings for additional people to join the thread. Those of you in the thread already are welcome to finish your characters and starter as normal. I'll be looking at everyone and figuring out who's going to work together the best. Once I have sheets and we'll make it happen. Also, as a heads up, time of game is looking like early Sunday afternoons -6:00 GMT. That'll give us a few hours of play before I roll into a game I'm playing in.

Is it cool how I did it, george? I answered most of those questions before you posted that.

If you'd throw it all into one spot, that would help a lot. Just so I can get to all of it quickly. Also, Devon, I know you said Nicole was interested. I need her to post some material on here as well so I can reference everyone quickly!

Updated for you

I'll just leave these here.

Pretty sure everything is right

Going to have to drop out due to scheduling stuff, good luck.

Here's all our character stuffs!

Give me until friday if that's alright. I haven't had a computer until now.

Well the original plan was use this standard, boring, uneventful Wednesday to go through every sheet and get everything decided. But now I see we have one person who would like two extra days. That said, I'll still go through things and make preliminary decisions. But William has the free pass until Friday. Also, I haven't heard back from Malcolm who I was loving the idea of his character. I'll afford him the same period until Friday as William and nudge him in the inbox. Characters and starters will be finalized Friday, though.

Okay guys I think I did it right

Okay, so here's what I saw that needs to be noted. I think Chase used a house rule we had in an older version that is unnecessary now, and has what appears to be 2 points on his trainer more than he should. Already point that out to him and should be fixed in the very near future. William, I noticed that you seem to be debted a point on your sheet. I count 66 points, where you should have 65 (64 for base, +1 from level, and the +2/-2 from class). In addition, you also have a second feature for your character. You gain both base features of your class immediately. And I also noticed you didn't have a nature for your charmander. I went ahead and rolled one out for you and it is Sickly. This lowers his BASE HP stat by 1 while raising his Sp. Def by 2. This will adjust how you will have spent his stat increases (even if only very slightly). Mike, I see the exact opposite on your sheet, actually. It looks like you did give yourself the two +1 bonuses for your class, and took the -2 penalty, but your sheet only totals to 64 points. I think you may have shorted yourself the point you got for your first level. Feel free to add it where needed. Elsewise, things appear great. I'm giving the one last day for Malcolm to get something to me, as I would hate to lose his character after we discussed out a couple of details for the setting. With luck, he'll appear with something /soon/ and we'll give a try with five.

I think I fixed it. Sorry bout that XD

Fixed mine, you were right George, didn't give my one point from the level. Also maybe I just misread something but isn't Wills sheet technically wrong. He has 13 STR+CON but its impossible to have that with Ace Trainer because it would instantly be boosted to 14 from the bonus. For him to have 13 he would of taken Ace trainer with 12 STR+CON and used the bonus from Ace Trainer to have the actual minimum. If I am wrong then I wanna change my stats around a bit

Oh, right, I totally forgot about the bonus. Let me fix that. EDIT: I think it's fixed

I built with the point for leveling and accidentally added it in again when doing features. Should all be correct now though. Edited 7 October (1400): Fixed my sheet yet again.

William: Go ahead and pick one of the Abilities, Blaze/Flash Fire/Intimidate, for your Charmander. Pokemon gain aditional abilities at certain level caps. Mike: You and I actually have one more feature than we should. Was just reading through and realized that we're classless at level 0 and when we level and choose to take a class, that replaces our Trainer Feature for that level. I'm going to have to go fix mine, again. Devon and Nicole: Your sheets are good.

This is why I keep Chase around. I can be talking to him in person, and he'll be typing what we're talking about. I haven't been ignoring you guys, I just apparently have a secretary for gaming! /laugh

Fixed! So when's the game again? :)

Alright, so we have players, we have characters, we have pokemon stats. I would like to present to the group a potential time, so that we can get this game rolling at some point in the near future. The best time for me will Sunday afternoons, starting about noon my time, and lasting until about five in the afternoon. That is GMT -6:00, US/Canada Central Time Zone. Does anyone have an issue with this?

Works for me.

Does anyone feel the need to run combat on a tac-map, or is everyone open to freeform so we can speed through the massive quantity of combat I anticipate this game picking up.

It's up to you guys. Since it's pokemon battling, I think it would stay truer to the game to use freeform.

Anyone. Need some responses here. Looking for more input from the group. Please confirm time and use of Tac-map preferences. Also, changed the above post, but the group name FINALLY updated in the server. The group link is <a href="http://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/39110/pokemon-mercury-group-adventures" rel="nofollow">http://app.roll20.net/campaigns/details/39110/pokemon-mercury-group-adventures</a>

Got hit with a Not Authorized for both links. Also I think the tac-map would work better but I'm new to these type of games so I don't really know how much my opinion really means

Alright.... one last try... <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/39110/y2WrGw" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/39110/y2WrGw</a> Give that a go and let me know, Mike.

tacmap sounds like it could slow stuff down. i guess id suggest no. also we could start with not using one and try it out later once were all more familiar with the system.
