Pokemon PTA Characters

Okay so we have done the pokemon RPG for a bit now and while it's been fun, I have a problem... I need some visuals. In all the time we have spent playing together we don't even know how the other characters look... :/ So I suggest we give the descriptions of each of our characters and maybe a bit of their background so we can feel more in tune with each other

... Goddamn it, I'm gonna need to get my photoshop skils up to scratch, aren't I?

Of course we have everyones fav Gym leaders

They don't count xD, we need some to draw the nurse joy of the region (providing she's different), the officer jenny (same condition as joy), the gym leaders, and our characters, and I suck at drawing on photo shop so you're on your own on that dorian xD

You say they dont count yet the immidiatly say that you want images of the Gym leaders? think about it...

Sh... not suppose to notice that xD

So are we going to put up physical descriptions up or not?

I'm waiting until my character dies. No point posting a description of a walking corpse, is there?

But he's not going to die now xD

Point. Ok, then, time for a breif physical description.

Name: Dorian Creed
Age: 21
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 138 lbs
Hair: Short, brown-black, and generally messy, although never styled
Eyes: Blue-grey, and rather dull
Home Land: Orre
Build: Rather weedy, although sporting a rather good tan
Clothes: Generally, jeans, para-boots, a t-shirt, and a jacket, with a belt with tools and simmilar on it.
Personality: Sarcastic, paranoid, and slow to trust. Also a bit of a sociopath, but that's a different story.
Background: Long, complicated, and full of trauma, which has led to sociopathy, paranoia, and a generally nihilistic outlook on life. A history of working with mechanics and engineers, but no record of what he actually did there.
Notes: May have been involved with Cipher at some point, although this is, to date, unproven.

Okay here is Felix

Name: Felix Firstform
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 115.9 lbs.
Hometown: Nuvema Town, Unova
Build: He is on the short side and is quite thin. (edited: he use to be girlish looking)
Hair: He has long black hair that reaches to about his shoulders. The hair is slightly spiked. (edited: it use to be blue with the same style)
Eyes: They are a grayish blue color (edited: they were purple consealed with blue contacts)
History: Felix is the kind of person who never backs down, Felix is the person you can always depend on, Felix is a child... He's not very smart even if he is athelitic and he's not the best at picking up the emotions of other people. He gets discouraged quite easily and doesn't like to be around people too often, the only reason he is with the current group is so that he can be strong enough to leave them and journey on his own. However at the same time felix has a strong sense of justice and will help anyone that asks for it, even if it puts him at risk.

Wow. I... have absolutely no comment. I mean, unnatural hair colour, dyed to fucking black, and an unnatural eye colour? Wow... Sorry, Kite, but I thought you had better standards than to Sue out so much... Also, talking to Pokémon? Yeah, no longer any respect for you. If this was Exalted, sure, why not, but this is a (semi) realistic campaign. Sorry, dude, but really, this is a tad too far.

Ya there is a reason I set Felix up like this. Also talking to pokemon is one of the abilities I purchased so it is completely within rules. Besides if a pokemon can talk human language, why can't a human understand the pokemon says back? Also the thing with mew has a reason too...

And the irrationally unnatural eye/hair colour? And the complete lack of personality description? Please, man, just face it. Felix (I'm not even going to mention the last name) is just a tad of a Mary Sue. I mean, he fits quite a few of these, and really, when you fit one or more of those, you've hit the slippery slope. I don't doubt that my character fits one or two of those, but I enjoy high-powered campaigns, where becoming a Mary Sue isn't that difficult/unsolvable. Also, I make sure that any character played in a realistic campaign is either sensible or within the insanity perview. So, yeah. My point, it is put forward. Your point, I await it.

Unnatural hair color is a common occurance in games and animes, pokemon not excluded. If nurse joy can have pink hair why can't Felix have blue hair. The reason why he has that colored hair can't be told to you because it is a spoiler to one of my stories. I didn't give his personality description because I didn't want that one post to be too long. Felix has ALOT of flaws such as being childish, he's not very smart, he sucks around people, he gets discouraged easily (as seen in the first battle we had against each other) along with other things I don't feel like saying at the current moment.

He does seem a bit Sueish at first glance and I know that would happen but I do try my best to balance my characters, ask Dark. If he remembers how Felix actes in my story (though I admit I could do a better job at it) he knows he is not a Mary Sue.

And what's wrong with the last name? It sounds kinda cool xD

A lot of flaws? Ok, then. Discouraged easily, when you attacked twice and did precisely nothing? I'd've given up as well, as it makes sense tactically. Not very smart, when you always seem to pick the right and sensible thing anyway? Sucks around people, when you actually get on with people (barring the jackass trio of me, Spirit, and GT)? Childish, I'll give you, but, if anything, that's good, as it helps you to get along optimistically in the world. And what makes you think that Joy/Jenny/whoever don't dye their hair? In fact, going for the more realistic version that Dark wants, it seems almost, dare I say it, likely. Also, eye colour. It stays natural, even in anime.

You think I just glanced? I took a good long look at your character, and found him Suetiful. And, as a (now out of pracice) Exalted GM, I know Sues. It's almost impossible to not be a Sue in a game of Exlated, and, if you had the crazy powah, you'd fit right in, name and all.

Name: Karm Thrice
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Height: 6'1
Weight: 175 lbs
Hometown: Oldale
Build: Muscular
Hair: Long dark brown and messy
Eyes: Hazel
History: worked on a farm before starting his journey, never went to a real school, but was taught a great deal about Pokemon legends and History, also knows how to drive, excellent fghter.

Gotta agree with Dorian here...

Glad to know I'd fit on exalted xD

As I said ask Dark about felix, he is very easily discouraged, and it is part of the reason he got that staff on that other session, because he is truthfully scared of having the mess beat out of him while he is trying to help someone, just like how anyone else would be.

Also the only people we have actually met are Jack (who I didn't respond to), Sarein (who I responded negatively too), Joy (who doesn't like joy?), Officer Jenny (You'll notice Felix didn't say much), You guys (I got get along with three of you), Cora (responded negatively). So ya, Felix's track history on how he goes along with people shows mostly as negative.

I'll give you the hair since Dark told me to change it and I'll give you the eyes as well (though I have seen plenty of unnatural eyes in animes)

What I am trying to say is that I try my best not to make my character a Mary Sue.

Height: Medium, I'unno.
Weight: Slightly less than average.
Eyes: Green.
Skin: Pale, cathode ray bleached as you can expect.
Hair: Dark grey.

Background: Typical computer-savvy college student, who found himself hard up for funds. Went into grey hat hacking to make ends meet, until he was noticed by an internet group. After being made an offer he couldn't refuse, on account of being rather attached to his limbs, joined them for some time. Ran away, physically and virtually, to another region, changed his name, exercised to change his body shape, and created a new life. After being emailed a porygon with a single file attached, "nimda.txt", decided he may as well begin training pokemon.
