Main PC:


Name: Keres


Race: Dark Elf


Area of Origin: Shadowgate


Age: Late 50s-early 60s (putting her at early 20s in human years)
Gender: Female


Description: Keres is tall, scrawny, and always looks vaguely like she's about to run away. Her hair is cropped close to her head, and her eyes are usually narrowed, seemingly in suspicion. She wears dark leather armor, and is never seen without her longbow and quiver. She occasionally wears a hooded cloak, especially in cities.


Personality: Keres does not much like people. She will work with others if it will accomplish her goals, but she doesn't trust people, and she is always ready to fight them off if they turn on her--which she is generally always expecting. She cares very deeply about her Pokemon and her home, though, and is quick to leap to their defense.


Skills: Keres knows her way around a bow, and could survive on her own in the woods for a good while. She is also generally good with Pokemon. While she is generally fairly terrible at interacting with people, she's good at telling when people are lying to her.


History: Keres was abandoned as a very young child in the streets of Shadowgate, and was found and taken it by a Wood Elf druid who acted as her mother. She lived just outside the city in a small cabin within the Shadow Woods, where she learned how to get along with Pokemon, and when it was discovered that she has no magical talent, she was taught archery. Her mother also gave her her first Pokemon, a Mightyena that she had nursed back to health after it was caught in a hunter's trap. Ever since Keres became partners with this Mightyena, she began a crusade against poachers and all others that would try to take advantage of her home. All of her Pokemon partners have been rescued from poachers. As she got older, her mother convinced her to learn more about the world outside the forest, and Keres reluctantly left and traveled to Crossways, which she is currently using as a base of sorts while she takes excursions into the plains to learn more about the Pokemon there.


Pokemon: Dunn the Mightyena, Phantasm the Absol, and Dusk the Murkrow.


Other: Whee. ^_^ Also, she can totally be bought with money. Hint to future party leader. : P

Pokemon:



Name: Dunn


Species: Mightyena


Gender: Male


Personality: Dunn is fiercely protective of his entire team, and does not like strangers. At all. He has quite the temper and is quick to start fights. He is somewhat arrogant, but will humble himself to help out his team.


Ability: Intimidate


Other: Keres's first Pokemon

Name: Phantasm


Species: Absol


Gender: Female


Personality: Phantasm is very quiet and reserved. She sticks close to her team and doesn't interact much with outsiders. She prefers to run rather than fight, and when she does have to fight, has a very defensive fighting style.


Ability: Super Luck


Other: Keres's second Pokemon

Name: Dusk


Species: Murkrow


Gender: Female


Personality: Dusk is very friendly and outgoing, and always off looking for new friends and shiny things, much to the frustration of the rest of her team. She chatters nearly constantly, and as she is generally found on Keres's shoulder when not off flying about, this can cause her incredible annoyance. Nevertheless, her affection and optimism has endeared her to her team, and she would never desert them. Unless there was something just super shiny.


Ability: Insomnia


Other: Keres's most recent Pokemon.

The best I can explain a Warforged is that it's kind of like a magic robot.

Dragonborn are basically giant lizard people, Tieflings are devil-type things, Tengu are giant crow people or some such.

Those are the ones I would think need the most explanation. Anyone who knows them better in more detail have a better explanation?

Drow are dark elves, halflings are really short people.

You know Skyrim? Drow are in that game.

OK, this is a character I've wanted to use in a D&D-esqe setting for a while, so here goes...

Name: Janmora Angeis

Race: Human/Elf hybrid

Area Of Origin: Night Fork

Age Half-Elf answer to early/mid twenties.

Gender: Female

Description: Very long black hair that hides her ears, red eyes, somewhat soft features. Wears a fancy black hooded cloak with matching robes underaneath.

Personality: Intelligent, but rather snarky, sarcastic. Likes cute guys, but keeps it to herself.

Skills: Darkness magic. Can do many things with darkness, shadows, and Obscura, and dabbles in other forms of offensive magic as well.

History: Born to an elf mother and human father. Didn't really feel like she fit in to either society, (and ashamed of an element of her mixed heritage) so studied at the magical academy in Crossways to hone her skills. Now adventures a lot to make some extra cash.

Pokemon:

Name: Morrigan

Species: Murkrow

Gender: Female

Personality: In contrast to her partner, very cheerful and friendly.

Ability: Super Luck

Other: Acts in a role akin to a familiar.

Name: Audric Mant

Race: Half Human – Half Elf


Area of Origin: Crossways

Age: Mid 30s – early 40s
 (physically looks like he is in his twenties)

Gender: Male


Description: Befitting his lineage, Audric takes cues from both his parents, giving him quite the Bishounen appearance. Audric has pointed ears but lacks the length one usually sees in full elves. Fairly tall with no excess body fat or muscles that have been overly devolved, dark hair, piercing grey eyes, and semi-pale skin; Audric can stand out as much or as little as he needs to. Audric dress is similar to a red mage from the Final Fantasy series, with a long coat, cape, hat, and knee high leather boots (though Audric can change the color of his clothes with magic, his clothes are usually a dark shade of blue with bronze colored trim). Audric wears a heavily armored glove on left hand. Audric is ambidextrous and can wield any type of sword or staff, but carries two custom made weapons: a basket hilt broadsword and a knob cane, both of which can be used for channeling magic. The cane is also conceals a sword blade allowing for dual wielding.

Personality: While a bit of a joker, Audric takes things in stride. His nature as a Half-Elf and Half-Human truly shows in battle, where his seriousness cranks up dramatically. Audric’s alignment is slides along the chaotic side of the chart between good and neutral, as Audric has a distaste for senseless violence and killing. Audric also is a firm believer in that pokemon should only be killed for food or clothing and never for “just because I could”.

Skills: Swordsmanship and magic with Healing magic being the weak point in his skillset.

History: Born to a Human Father and an Elfin mother in Crossways, Audric grew up his parents specialties from them. Learning swordsmanship from his father and magic from his mother, Audric is versatile fighter, able to switch from ranged to melee on the fly. His training as a mage and swordsman gives him at least some affinity to all pokemon types, with Normal, Fire, Grass, Electric, Fighting, and Water (and possibly Fairy) types are all near the top of the list. While Dark, Steel, Dragon, and Poison are the types Audric has the least affinity with. Audric currently makes his living by being a jack of all trades.

Pokemon: Lamarc the Gallade and Arhea the Togekiss

Other: Strong offensively, but with only moderate defenses, Audric's best place to be in combat is just behind the front line fighters. Adept with household spells, Audric can cook, sew, and clean well.

Pokemon:
Name: Lamarc
Species: Gallade (Steadfast)
Gender: Male

Personality: Cool and collected most of the time,  Lamarc is serious about keeping himself (and anyone else he knows) sharp. He has a weakness to cute things and flirting
Abilities: Most of his blade attacks’ energy will be channeled into the shape of a edged weapon
Other: He acts as Audric’s sparring partner. Lamarc mirrors Audric in that he can switch from melee to ranged combat on the fly. Vacuum Wave, Swift, and Shock Wave are his move pool

Name: Arhea (Ah-ray-ah)
Species: Togekiss (Serene Grace)
Gender: Female
Personality: Cheerful and pleasant, Aria maintains an air politeness at all times – even while blasting opponents into next week.
Abilities: With very few physical attacks in her movepool, Aria is very much a back line fighter

Other: Arhea knows (and has demonstrated) every special and status move a Togekiss can learn, but not very many physical attacks; only displaying Brick Break,  Drain Punch, Extremespeed, and Zen Headbutt with any noticeable frequency. A bit larger than most Togekiss, Arhea is capable of carrying a single passenger during flight.

Beri: I worry he's a bit too skilled - A master swordsman so famous he faked his own death to avoid it? On top of being an excellent smith? Tone it down, please.

Everything else seems good.

Better.

Alright, here's my signup. Freaking finally.

PC

Name: Crudor Stoneblood.
Race: Orc.

Area of Origin: Dawnwatch.

Age: Mid-thirties.

Gender: Male.
Description: As an orc, Crudor probably won't be winning any beauty contests. He is almost six and a half feet tall and heavily built, with pale green skin, yellow eyes and a pair of surprisingly white tusks jutting out from his protruding jaw. He usually wears light leather armour, considering other forms of protection to be too restrictive. A light traveler, he usually carries no more than his pack and his axe.
Personality: Crudor is dour, cynical, and apparently unable to communicate in anything that isn't a sarcastic retort - a trait which has gotten himself in trouble with some former employers. As a mercenary, his only loyalty is to his next paycheck, though he's not above taking a job with no immediate payoff if it piques his interest. He is also fairly academic for an orc of his profession, and will most likely react with mild exasperation if you point this out.

Skills: Crudor's most marketable skill is the ability to kill things before they kill him. Aside from this, he is fairly competent at surviving in the wild, and an educated upbringing coupled with years of serving masters of all different stripes means that he has something of an affinity with languages.

History: Born to a barbarian tribe in the Dawn Hills, Crudor had barely learnt to walk by the time his village was wiped out in retaliation for their many raids on settlements near Dawnwatch. One of the soldiers took pity on him, though, and brought him back to Dawnwatch to be raised by a human noble. There, Crudor recieved an education and a decent upbringing, but soon grew tired of his sedentary existence and being looked down upon by other members of the nobility. Deciding to embrace his cultural heritage of smashing things, Crudor left home accompanied by his Poliwhirl, Tiberia, as soon as he could. Over the next twenty years, he served as a soldier, bodyguard, adventurer and sellsword, and it is his current profession as a mercenary which brings him to Crossways in search of work.
Pokemon: Tiberia the Poliwrath, Muse the Medicham, and Ironfist the Machoke.

Pokemon

Name: Tiberia.

Species: Poliwrath.

Gender: Female.
Personality: In
 contrast to most of Crudor's party, Tiberia is cheerful and talkative. Crudor is often grateful for her optimism on long journeys, if only because he has someone to sarcastically retort to.
Abilities: Water Absorb.

Name: Muse.

Species: Medicham.

Gender: Female.
Personality: Muse is quiet, stolid and serious. She rarely talks and can usually be found meditating.
Abilities: Pure Power.

Name: Ironfist.

Species: Machoke.

Gender: Male.
Personality: A fairly recent addition to Crudor's party, Ironfist is a strong believer in the idea that "might makes right", and as a result tends to look down on those he feels do not live up to this ideal.
Abilities: Guts.

I reaaaaally need to stop elaborating so much on things =P

Name: Sigurd Larsen

Race: Dragonborn

Area of Origin: Crossways

Age: Looks about 22 (Dragonborn reach adulthood at 15 human years though)

Gender: Male

Description: He’s about 1,90m tall and weighs a good 150kg and has a very strong built, that combined with his race make him very intimidating-looking. He has silver colored scales and dark blue eyes. He wears a heavy silver armor which only leaves his hands, feet, the area from the shoulder to elbow and knees exposed, he also doesn’t wear a helmet though; his already heavy self plus the heavy armor making him pretty difficult for anyone to lift. He also carries a silver sword and shield, which has some dark blue markings in it, and also a bag full of supplies. Sometimes he can be seen using leather clothing or armor.

Personality: He’s usually rather quiet and, for the most part, only speaks when spoken to as he prefers to observe his surroundings rather than getting involved into other things that don’t interest him. Most of the time he has a serious look on his face, however he’s actually pretty friendly towards those who speak with him, treating them with respect and being polite and calm, if a bit snarky, and doing his best to help them with their problems the best he can. With those closer to him, he can be rather playful and isn’t above some gentle teasing every now and then, he holds his friends in great regards and is a very loyal to them, though he sometimes ends up being a bit too trusting of some of his newer friends, which sometimes can get him into trouble. He has a strong sense of chivalry, as such; he’s honest, tends to put other’s well-being before his own, always helping the weak who can’t protect themselves and punishing those who bully them, not tolerating any sort of injustice and dirty tricks while also being very well disciplined and valuing honor, though sometimes he puts honor before reason. He likes to fight and tends to have a confident look in his face when he’s fighting, though he knows better than to underestimate his opponent, he enjoys the thrill of battle, but only fights for sport or in cases where there isn’t another choice, otherwise he usually tries to use diplomacy to deal with problems or at least try to do the least damage possible, though in some cases just his intimidating appearance can be enough and he’s all too happy to make use of that fact. In general he’s a nice, quiet guy with an intimidating appearance who’s well aware of it.

Skills: He’s a very good swordsman and also knows quite a bit of medicine and White Magic, all of that due to parental influence. As a Dragonborn, he has a breath weapon; in his case he can breathe ice.

History: Sigurd was found as an egg by a human couple in the middle of a forest that they were exploring together, with no parents in sight, the couple decided to bring the egg with them and raise the Dragonborn themselves. The couple who raised him were nobles of a very high class and also friends of the King of Crossways, they really treated him as if he was really their son, of course, it was easy for him to see that they weren’t his true parents, but he was happy the way he was so he didn’t care about it. His mother being a Cleric and his father a Paladin, he soon found himself going at the same path as his adoptive father, who taught him everything he knew about how to fight with a sword and shield at the same time that his adoptive mother taught him all about medicine and White Magic. He was homeschooled all of his life and admittedly he sometimes struggled a lot with trying to understand everything that was taught to him, but his parents were very supportive of him and made sure that he understood everything before moving to another subject. Being homeschooled, however, meant that he didn’t go outside his home as much as he’d want, soon he became a Paladin himself and decided to compensate for that by leaving home and exploring the world, living of mercenary work that he did out of a desire to help others and also for the money, he tried to keep in touch with his family though, and in fact decided to come back home to visit them.

Pokémon: Linus the Togetic, Asger the Escavalier and Ragnar the Haxorus

Other: Insulting his family is a very easy way to get him angered. Also, he’s pretty good at doing most housework, though he’s completely hopeless with sewing. He also loves children.

Name: Linus
Species: Togetic
Gender: Male
Personality: He’s very cheerful, curious as a monkey and is always looking for something fun to do. He finds other people very interesting and always tries to talk with as many people as he can while being as friendly as possible; if he finds someone who looks sad or depressed; he generally rushes to try to make said someone happy again. Despite his child-like way of being, he’s actually fairly old, though he considers himself young at heart and doesn’t really look much different from a regular Togetic and is just as idealistic as you’d expect from one.  He really likes Sigurd and as such he really tries to make him proud, though that often means trying to prove himself in battle with varying success
Ability: Serene Grace. He can also easily tell what others are feeling and can also cook.
Other: Carries an Eviolite with him, acts as a supporter in battle and was Sigurd’s first Pokémon along with Asger

Name: Asger
Species: Escavalier
Gender: Male
Personality: He’s very serious, has almost no sense of humor and tends to not talk much. His loyalty to Sigurd knows no bounds and he’d do everything for him no matter how unreasonable it may be and he puts enough faith on him to be sure that he’d never do something stupid. Like his master, he has a strong sense of chivalry and enjoys battling, though he’s more eager to resort to brute force than Sigurd is. Unlike him, however, he takes a long time to trust others and is generally wary of everyone who might be with them, always expecting a backstab and being ready to protect Sigurd from one. Despite having a rather cold exterior, he cares deeply about those he trusts and is very kind to those close to him.
Ability: Shell Armor, also has a keen eye for detail.
Other: Has a Quick Claw in a small necklace that he wears, in battle he acts in the offense, but has a more defensive way of fighting as well, was Sigurd’s first Pokémon together with Linus.

Name: Ragnar
Species: Haxorus
Gender: Male
Personality: He’s kind, but prefers to hide that behind a tough exterior so that no one will think of him as weak. He does, however, get easily angered and resorts to brute force quite quickly when having to deal with a problem and he can also be quite ruthless when fighting. He’s very snarky and openly makes fun of others, though he reacts badly when he’s the one that’s being made fun of, thanks to that for pretty much anyone else he may be just a jerk, but he tries to not go overboard with his teasing, with varying success, and he also is very willing to help others with their problems if he sees that they need it and he does care about his friends and master and he doesn’t hesitate too much to show those qualities when the situation asks for it.
Abilities: Mold Breaker, he actually knows quite a few things about forging weapons, though he doesn’t practice it himself.
Other: Wears a necklace with a Life Orb in it. Was tamed by Sigurd as his third Pokémon. He loves being petted and is one of the few times where he drops the tough façade and shows his more docile side, of course, Sigurd often pets him just to show that, much to his annoyance.

Name: Esheon Aroac

Race: Human

Area of Origin: Crossways

Age: Late Teens ~ Mid Twenties

Gender: Male

Description: A human of average height, mischevious bright green eyes, sort of messy navy blue hair that's longer in the back and makes an upside down teardrop shape. Rather thin if only glanced at one would usually assume he's an intellectual from his appearance. Usually he wears crimson robes with armor plating attatched somewhat haphazard places.

Personality: Esheon is a social person, and somewhat of a skirt-chaser, prefering spending time with people than spending time with books. He's usually a little more upbeat than the average being at any given time, though this is by no means always true. Escheon is always eager to please another person, always willing to do little errands or favors, and taking anything he's trusted with very seriously. He is also curious, easily distracted by shiny or interesting things, people, or events. He is terrified of insects, and thinks whenever a female being of any race approaches him it's for either a favor or to taunt him. Escheon is quick to make friends and puts unfailing loyalty in them after meeting them, which easily allows him to be taken advantage of, or, possibly never realize that one of the people he might be willing , if he had to, die for might be a person of malicous intent. He'll, without meaning to offend, interrupt people to correct them on matters or statements if he knows they're factually wrong.

Skills: His most notable skill is his intellegence and ability to take information and get something useful out of it quickly. He can take mundane actions and rationalize reasons behind them, with varying accuracy. He can also use most forms of magic, though aside from conjuring small, weak objects, like sticks or a musical triangle, he can't perform magic on his own. He can however, after watching someone else use magic, mimic with near perfection what he just witnessed, though usually can't, unless he puts tremendous effort into retaining it, be able to perform it again after a few hours have passed.

History: As a child Esheon lived with his parents and younger sister. His parents were both slightly below average mages who loved to dabble in to magic, moral questionability ignored. He lived happily, contently, and rather innocently until one day his home burned down, his parents killed and his sister nearly so, he however was unharmed. After that he began delving into the nature of magic to perhaps uncover what had happened, but has done very few remarkable things. He now lives with his sister Eyien in a slightly more fire-resistant home, and is studying at the magical achedmy in the Crossways.

Other: Esheon produces, rather then expends magical energy when using magic. As he approaches his body's limit for how much power he can actually use, he begins sparking and small wisps of energy begin flaring out from him. If he further pushes himself, the sparks grow larger and the wisps into full flames. Any further and he risks death.

Pokemon:

Name: Voach

Species: Aron

Gender: Girl

Personality: Voach is a lazy, slothish Aron with a big appetite, however she is also as quick witted as her human companion. She doesn't like loud, energetic people, and prefers slowly dealing with problems in a controlled methodical way as to avoid any mistakes.

Abilities: Heavy Metal

Other: Esheon found the Aron starved and dying, when he gave her a collection of swords he'd plan to use for experimentation to eat. He was without a Pokémon so she decided to tag along with him.
