Heya. This will be a game of Pokemon Tabletop United; a TTRPG that lets you play as Pokemon Trainers. The game will take place on Maptools, likely at 7:00 PM PST on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. I myself will be in charge of the story and the head GM, but my good friend KujiUn will be helping me out with the mechanics a bit, because this will be my first PTU game.
For those of you who have played Pokemon Tabletop Adventures before, this isn't quite the same thing. Everything you need to create a character and play should be on this wiki:
http://ptu.wikidot.com/ If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Also worth noting is the fact that this game will have some forum game elements. You will be researching researching, exploring, training, and capturing new Pokemon between meetings.
Finally do note that the themes and plots in this campaign will be darker and more mature that what one might expect from a Pokemon game. I doubt however that this will be an issue for an audience recruited from Bay12...
So without any further ado:
The Backstory:Date: 18 AO (After Outbreak)
For nearly two decades now civilization has been fighting a losing struggle for survival. For reasons unknown the population of mutants, humans with Pokemon Traits, have exploded. Once content to blend in with society, or live in isolation, these powerful beings began to form large factions and divide the earth among themselves.
Up until recently the small totalitarian citystate of Port Cane has been able to escape this fate by virtue of its isolation and insignificance. As a tiny Island with few resources, none of the major mutant factions have shown interest in trying to seize it. Sadly the President General for Life, unbeknownst to anyone, began to develop severe dementia. Six years ago he began to take out his insanity on the people and the people, led by the mutant population of the island, revolted.
9 Months ago the rebels finally succeeded in assassinating the President General, and after a brief celebration, split into two warring factions. To make matters worse The United Counties, a global mutant organization, had finally decided to invest some resources into taking Port Cane for itself. The new President General, faced with 3 hostile factions threatening to finish off what was left of his country, swallowed his pride and did what his predecessor could never bring himself to do; ask for international aid.
Thats where you come in. You are a newly promoted special agent in the World Police Special Forces, western society's last organized line of defence against the mutant factions. The WPSF has no intention to risk anyone of importance helping a city as insignificant as Port Cane, but they also recognize that such a job could be a great proving ground for rookies such as yourself. With only token support from headquarters you are now tasked with fighting what you will soon learn to be the most important theater in the war to define humanity...
-I'll accept 4-7 applicants, but I'll allow no more than 5 PCs in any given mission. I had some atendence issues with my last (still current) Pokemon games, so It would be nice to have a few spares. Even if you don't get into the missions you can still help with the forum game elements.
-Trainers Start at Level 1 (Level 1 in PTU comes with a lot more stuff than level 1 did in PTA)
-Each Trainer Starts with 2 Starter Pokemon. Starters must be level 10 and capable of evolution.
-Trainers Start with 10000 PY to spend how they wish during character creation. If you don't spend it all during character creation, you may keep the leftovers, but do note the items available to you once the game starts will be limited.
-Post your character sheet here, or on a wiki that you can edit and the others can view
If you have any questions feel free to ask myself or Kuji! One of us should be able to help you!
Once Kuji approves your character, you may start posting forum actions here:
