Pok�mon Umbral Discussion 3: Like Pok� Fables Except More Awesome... - Page 9

I think Matthias maybe the other exception to the rule, being either Chaotic Good or Lawful Evil. He hasn't really show himself as either yet.

Very odd that you are "either" CG or LE when they are on the very frickin' opposite corners of the DnD Allignment spectrum. ^,^ Technically, I would consider you true neutral due to that. :3 (Not that I mind Allignment debates so long as they don't go up in flames)

You think there would ever be a chance for PvP? Like Pierce fighting Renny in a pokemon battle with AB as the referee receiving PMs regarding character's actions? It's entirely likely to happen if there is group infighting... or just the urge to prove who is awesome-r.

Also, if Impact starts threathening to use a gun on Renny, the poor guy is going to have to employ the most powerful magnet (Magnezone) as a bodyguard to repel/attract bullets away from his person. (Helps that Magnezone's ability is to attract steel types to itself and that steel resists steel.)

Okay, guys, I'm finally back. Believe it or not, I actually was sick and probably still am but I feel a lot better after nine hours of peacing out. I haven't read the RP thread yet, but I assume it's just as scary and horrible as what you've been posting in this discussion thread. Anyways, on to the mess of shit I've gotta put out. First, Ye Olde Upgrades:

Slayer weapons have been upgraded to 130 power. As a note, you should know that this damage is also based on the target's defense and special defense. How to you tell them apart? Simple. A Dragon Slave deals physical damage because you strike the foe with the weapon, while the Flamethrower deals special damage because you do not strike the foe with the weapon. Another good tidbit of information is that if a support unit (Rachel, Lola) is with you, you can switch weapons, armor, and accessories between battles.

Additionally, Slayers can now equip two of these purdy li'l accessories. You may look a li'l ghey when wearing them, but they each have great abilities, so check 'em out, Impact.

Slayer Accessories (each accessory can only be used once per battle, so choose wisely when you call on their powers)
- Stamina Boost: Allows the Slayer to attack twice in a round. Use it for you absolutely, positively have to fuck something up.
- Mezmerizer: Occasionally prevents a Pok�mon from attacking the Slayer if its of the opposite gender. You might need some courage to use this.
- Scentsation Coil: Can be used to heal from negative status. Otherwise, it's kind of pungent.
- Adrenaline Surge: Increases all stats by one. Does not stack. Sorry.
- Spectral Eye: An amplified Confuse Ray. The Pok�mon will always hurt itself. Not effective on Ghost types.
- Viper's Venom: A ring with a deployable needle that is jabbed directly into the Pok�mon and inflicts it with Toxic.
- Decoy Device: Creates a perfect holographic representation of you which will trick enemies. You can still attack in the same round. Lasts for one round.
- Physical Barrier: Creates a kinetic barrier around yourself that greatly reduces physical damage. This works for three rounds.
- Magical Barrier: Creates a mysterious barrier around yourself that greatly reduces special damage. This works for three rounds.

We at Ricewood Masterworks are always making new accessories for the Slayer who doesn't want to be inferior to Pok�mon trainers. Be on the lookout for even more incredible accessories that can change the weather and even make you self-destruct! It's all in the works at Ricewood Masterworks!

Pok�brids can now be recombined with another Pok�mon's genetic data, and shift between the two without penalty, even when Paradigm Shifted. Your appearance, your moveset, even your ability will change. It should be noted that NPC Pok�brids like Rachel, Lola and Dormond will not receive these upgrades. I guess they're happy as they are.

Pok�mon Trainers can now have a fifth Pok�mon. Additionally, they gain the focus ability, allowing their Pok�mon to use multiple target or random target attacks on a single target of the trainer's choosing. Call it an act of bonding with your Pok�mon.

Pok�mon Snaggers now have a third Pok�mon, their Snag Balls are improved, and they can carry snagged Pok�mon from mission to mission so long as that Pok�mon's happiness is sufficient. Being hit by super-effective moves, fainting, being forced to tough it out through negative status effects, and being forced to fight despite being at low health all lower a snagged Pok�mon's happiness. Using super-effective moves, defeating an enemy, winning the battle, and remaining in good shape will keep your snagged Pok�mon happy and willing to keep working for you. Be forewarned that intelligent foes may know this and will likely try to target your snagged Pok�mon to make it angry and go rogue.

And now for some profiles to catch up on all the old ones. This weekend I intend to compile all the information together.

Name: Dormond Ferguson
Alias: None
Age: 53
Gender: Male
Class: Pok�brid (Mawile)
Appearance: Imagine your standard butler. Grey hair, small mustache, gentlemanly stature and superb manners. Now imagine him with a giant set of jaws hanging from a fleshly black protrusion on the back of his head. He dyes his mustache black because the genes turned his hair black, and wears gloves to hide the fact that his hands are black as well.
Backstory / Personality: A butler serving in Rayleen's family for at least three generations, Dormond personally blames himself for Rayleen's suffering when her father and fianc� were killed. His relationship with Rayleen is deep and he considers himself her personal champion, protector of body and mind.

Name: Lola Phelps
Alias: Queen of Hearts
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Class: Pok�brid (Lopunny)
Appearance: Lola is a bombshell in Nurse's whites. Strangely enough, her naturally pink hair has affected the Lopunny genes somewhat, turning the brown fur as pink as her hair. One would expect her to have other features, but do to adding hair removal in undesireable places as part of her personal care regimen, there are no tufts of furr on her wrists, eyebrows, or on the sides of her knees.
Backstory / Personality: Lola has been working as a trainee nurse for about five years, and as a registered nurse for less, but she's damn good at the job of healing others. One of the small disappointments in her life is that far too many people come to see her just to see her. Seriously, a stomacheache? Your leg fell asleep, that's all. I'm sorry, I don't see an open head wound. Yeeeeah. Lola wants to prove her potential by dealing with the worst injuries a man could ever suffer from without dying, yet for this professional, she may get bored quickly.

Name: Shannon Mordhaus
Alias: Emerald
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Class: Pok�mon Trainer
Pok�mon Registry
- Leafeon [Florescence] (Grass Type) [Female]
Moves: Leaf Blade / Synthesis / SolarBeam / X-Scissor
Ability: Leaf Guard
Item: Lax Incense
- Roserade (Grass/Poison Type) [Female]
Moves: Poison Jab / SolarBeam / Synthesis / Shadow Ball
Ability: Poison Point
- Cacturne (Grass/Dark Type) [Male]
Moves: Needle Arm / Sucker Punch / Focus Punch / Destiny Bond
Ability: Sand Veil
- Jumpluff (Grass/Flying Type) [Female]
Moves: Giga Drain / Bounce / SolarBeam / Energy Ball
Ability: Leaf Guard
- Abomasnow (Grass/Ice Type) (Female)
Moves: Sheer Cold / Blizzard / Wood Hammer / Mist
HM Moves: Strength / Rock Smash / Rock Climb
Ability: Snow Warning
Appearance: Shannon has long waist-length brown hair and beautiful green eyes. She wears an oversized pair of headphones and only turns them off when she absolutely has to listen to something or someone. She wears a dark-green sleeveless turtleneck that also exposes the belly and brown denim shorts, black sneakers and black fingerless gloves.
Backstory / Personality: Shannon hasn't had a whole lot of good come to her in her love life. First, she was in love with the Draceon (Dragon Eevee Evolution) trainer, Lucifer. But Lucifer ends up with Rayleen, and then gets killed by a falling Bastiodon. Shannon bears a powerful grudge against Rayleen (but doesn't know that Rayleen is a District Chief for PATCA yet). Confused with feelings that she feels she cannot show to anyone or redirect, she started to believe she might be in love with Darcen. Now that fucker's dead, and Shannon's a towering manifestation of resentment. She joins PATCA on a probationary period to avenge Darcen's death. She finds out about Rayleen, and nearly goes back to jail to serve her sentence there, but Moon convinces her to press on as a favor to him for saving her life. Hmm, do I smell underlying motivations?

Menarker · 03-09-2010, 02:22 PM

Lola as Queen of Hearts? Should I be worried how that Alias makes me think of the Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland?

Lola: OFF WITH YOUR HEAD! I'll patch it back up after. Teehee! <3

I don't suppose I can request an invented pokemon such as Ruin/Steel? (With stats similar to Shuckle. Crappy offense and speed, SUPERIOR Defence)

Astral Harmony · 03-09-2010, 02:25 PM

Not Ruin. Ruin is what I kill you with, not the other way around.

Now I gotta get ready for work. I know there's other things I need to do, like the next omake but time just flies too fast when I'm GMing this shit.

Dracorion · 03-09-2010, 02:33 PM

Kickass stuff.

So, here's my fifth pokemon. I don't suppose we get the option of changing one of the ones we already have. Kingdra's kinda stepping on Starmie's territory.

Kingdra (Female)
Ability: Sniper
Draco Meteor/Hydro Pump
Blizzard/Hyper Beam
Item: White Herb
HMs: Surf, Waterfall, Whirlpool

Question: would Tyranitar's Sand Stream work indoors? I should hope not, Matt is on my team.

And yeah, what we've done with the RP thread is as bad as what we've posted here.

Menarker · 03-09-2010, 02:38 PM

Still thinking of which ones I'll be using, but I'm hoping something like Spiritomb, Slaking or Shuckle. Although I might think of something else... At school atm though.

EDIT: Is there any reason why Shannon only has 5 pokemon? I could have sworn she had 6 before.

Dracorion · 03-09-2010, 03:14 PM

Probably because now she's one of us and that means she has to play by our rules?

Menarker · 03-09-2010, 03:22 PM

*Cough*Rachel*Cough*

Yes, I totally understand. :3

Dracorion · 03-09-2010, 03:38 PM

Oh, right.

Well then, beats the hell out of me.
