We ask that potential applicants post their application in comments rather than linking. If their application contains explicit references to 'hard' spoilers (character death, unforeseen plot twists, big reveals, he was evil all along etc), players should put the application in their own journal or their character's journal and link it, making sure to mention the presence of spoilers within. For further clarification on our spoilers policy and whether or not your application needs to be linked, please check this page. Thank you for your cooperation!
The comment character limit on Dreamwidth is 16,000 characters so apps no longer need to be split into multiple comments; however this is at players' discretion.
While players are welcome to play multiple characters (five characters maximum are allowed per player!), please only apply for one character at a time, and wait for a decision before submitting another application!
A reminder for those waiting to hear back: Please don't be worried if we skip yours while going through them. It only means we needed a little more time to research!
Please use the form below to apply! If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the mods.

Taken / Reserves Please do not app a character from either of these unless you reserved them!
Starter Pokémon! A compiled list of the starter Pokémon to choose from offered in Victory Road!
Personality: Ardbert has been through a lot in both his life and afterlife. More than someone should ever have to go through at least and it shows! Both in how he carries himself and how he speaks. Like an old wistful soul at the end of it's journey.
But let's back up a bit. During his life Ardbert was an adventurer and would go on to be a hero to his world. His old comrades would describe him as a kind and trusting soul, a sweet guy with a heart overflowing with love for those he holds dear. They didn't lie! He is absolutely someone who puts others needs before his own and would never hesitate to help someone no matter if how big or small the problem was. He was also a bit of a go-getter, which netted him the position of leader in his group. He knew when he had to be tough and when to joke around to ease in group fighting. Personality wise he could be a little rough around the edges in his manner of speech, but he knew when he had to be strict and when he could lighten up and joke around.
Unfortunately his days of adventuring wouldn't end well for him. Despite his groups best intentions, they quite literally were too good at being heroes. To explain shortly, along their journey they learned of a secret mastermind responsible for a lot of nefarious deeds in their realm. Spoilers: It was one of their companions who had been manipulating them this entire time. This is where Ardbert's boundless love would be his downfall. Simply put their companion's evil plan was to make all these adventurers into "Warriors of Light" and in the end Ardbert would be needed to slay them for the job to be done. Ultimately though he refused to kill his dear friend and this one choice (and the subsequent hunt and murder of the real manipulators) doomed his entire world and very nearly killed everyone.
Everything just gets worse from there. Him and his party are tricked again in their desperation. He had to kill all of his comrades and then had to take his own life to travel to another world. They do manage to stall the destruction of their own world in the end, but to do so required his party to sacrifice what remained of their life energy and souls- yet out of his party he was the only denied his willing sacrifice.
Afterwards he was left as a ghost, doomed to wander his world on the brink of destruction for 100 years. Having to suffer watching civilizations start to curse him and and his friends names and having to endure intense isolation with his own suffocating guilt. That all of his choices and decisions lead to that outcome.
That being said, things do get better for him in his afterlife. The main character, the Warrior of Light, does eventually come to his world and through plot reasons is the only character who can see and hear him. Through watching the Warrior of Light fight for his world is he able to come to terms with the state he's left in and slowly but surely he was able to cut through his gloom to find hope again. Enough hope to hand the reins over to the Warrior of Light and merge their souls together to help in the final battle.
To wrap this up, since this is a personality section, at his core Ardbert is still the caring, kind and trusting adventurer he was starting out. He's grown a bit more rough and not just in his manner of speech as the years have gone by just through worldly experience and some pretty traumatic events. He legit still has a lot of issues. His death fucked him up, the near end of his world fucked him up, and even though things are resolved he probably will always carry guilt and regret for how things wound up happening. But he's found hope again in the Warrior of Light and has a new adventure to go on, a new cause to support- even if he's now just a brain ghost taking a back seat in the Warrior of Lights body. He cares again.

[It was strange being back here again, as if he had unlocked a flood of memories all at once even though so much time had passed back in his own world. It was actually sort of a relief? Like a much needed vacation almost. There was just one problem. This wasn't his body and he was pretty sure this bird wasn't his Pokemon. There was no way he could forget the terror that was his Purrserker.
One benefit to being here before though meant he was already familiar with the technology and he was quick this time to go to it. As soon as he was given the chance after being shoo'd out into the starting town, he dug out his pokegear and turned on the camera. The feed was greeted by a scraggly looking man who desperately looked like he either just needed a good shower or a haircut and a shave.]
So I've ah, I've been here before right? I can't say how long I've been gone, but I remember this place.
[He looks over to the Rufflet he had out, currently sitting on his shoulder and tilting it's head at the pokegear.]
This isn't my Pokemon though. Does anyone know what happens to Pokemon after their trainer leave?
