OOC MEET N' GREET

[sarahesque]

One week ago, we opened poketesting. Since then, we've had a ton comments on the intro log and two awesome posts in the community. But we’re greedy. We want more.

So, explore the facility! Plan daring escapes! Or maybe just get fed up and open an Aprijuice stand! The world is your oyster Clamperl! You can look at the setting page for inspiration, or just set up anything your heart desires! Posting is 100% OPEN!

To celebrate this opening, we've put together a little OOC Meet and Greet! Come comment here to introduce yourself and your characters. Get to know your fellow players!

<b>Name</b>: <b>Characters</b>: <user name=> | Brief introduction. Copy and paste this as many times as you need to! <u>Optional</u> <b>Favorite Game</b>: <b>Favorite Character</b>: <b>Favorite Pokemon</b>: <b>Obligatory Silly Gif</b>: <img src="(remember, we’re a pg-13 comm! >:|)">

Finally, in closing, would anyone be interested in following an official poketesting plurk? It would be used to promote announcements, events, memes in the OOC comm, etc. It could also be used as an easy way to promote posts (maybe a once-a-week post round-up?) while things are still getting started.

Tell us your thoughts! Either right here right now, or we’re always available via the Mod Contact post.

acegirlfriend | Tsundere Ace Trainer. Totally has dated someone before!
and more who may or may not show up later.

Optional
Favorite Game: GSC for nostalgia, RSE for the region, Conquest for TACTICS, and BW2 for understanding my burning need to raise a Dunsparce.

Favorite Pokemon: Slakoth.

[silvie]

Name: Silvie. Hello, I am also a mod!
Characters:

legendchaser | An older Crystal. She's given up training to become a researcher. She's very interested in legendary Pokemon!
shoujospirit | A super-sassy Kotone who loves cute things. She's post HGSS.
savedover | Glitchverse Silver. He's a pretty grumpy guy, probably because he's doesn't sleep for days on end. What's up with that??
deserthobo | Magma Grunt Dimitri. A friendly and personal young man who is sometimes less than honest about Team Magma's less-than-legal activities. He's secretly dating a young lady from Team Aqua.

I would also like to sometime bring in disguisekit, a Petrel from HGSS.

Optional
Favorite Game: I am torn between GSC and HGSS. I love Johto, ok.
Favorite Character: Everyone. But, okay, I'll narrow it down to "Team Rocket". My favorite rival though is, hands-down, Silver.
Favorite Pokemon: I like lots of Pokemon for lots of reasons. But for the sake of pure endearment, I really love Koffing.

She has dealt with them all (okay, not Aqua... yet) and is fed up with their shenanigans (and seeing as she is from a tabletop RPG campaign, most of the rest of her party). She's impulsive and brash and all about straight-up damage domination when using all but two of her 'mons.

Sparklechomp catches you in a French dip, I mean

Hi hi, Silvie! It's nice to meet you too! Thank you and Sarah so much for making this community!

I know a small handful of RPers who play the other Conquest characters. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to know they can use them here!

Looking forward to playing with you! \o/ I'm sure there's someone on your list who can rattle Falkner a bit!

[silvie]

You're welcome! We're just happy to see everyone here having fun.

Yessss. Bring in all the marauding warlords! (One day, I'll actually finish my Conquest run. One... day...)

Same here! Waha, I'm sure that's within the realms of possibility. I'll keep an eye out for your journals c:

A+ favorite character choice.
And bring in warlords so I pick up Conquest again because I LOVE THAT GAME.
