righto.

Also to clarify:

The boon feats, are they totally free?
As in extra from the feats you get at TL up right? Or do you need to use one of those 'feat points' or 'feat spots' to learn the extra feat.

And Meanwhile speaking of extra feats, the google doc says you can take those seperate from any requirements. Such as taking serious healing power, since all of the healing powers require the lesser ones in a chain according to Kuji's ruling I can only take the lowest healing power. I'd like to be sure on this. As there are TONS of feats that replace other feats. And I'd rather have something more impressive with a stat prereq that gets waved, than choose a small effect one because of the replacement issue. Something just seems broken here, for something that was supposed to be an extra gift.

[KujiUn]

Wait, what?

The chain of Healing Powers DOES NOT replace each other.

So you CAN take the highest one.

Well, if that's what Weird intended.

[Weirdsound]

No. They ain't totaly free. They are like any other feat. You just get to ignore any and all requirements to take them. Sorry for being less than clear.

[Haika]

Ok, character mechanics done and PM-ed. Still have Fluff to do, but after some working with things, I would like to put my vote out there to start with the Randal Family on wed.

[Shoruke]

Now that all of the breeder stuff is finally up on the wiki, I'm working on my character sheet (flipping AGAIN...)
Are we going to be spending much/any time in the wilderness? Botanist is interesting to me (create berries that heal 2, or maybe 5, status effects at once, hahaha), but I need to know if we spend any time outdoors so I know how many berry-searching feats to take.

Also, isn't the Egg Index feature for Hatchers worthless now that Breeders' Egg Factory base feature says you can identify what will hatch from an egg?

Also, I'd like to start with the Peterson Randal family...

The Players can choose as a group how much time will be spent in the wilderness. Travel time can be played out on foot, reduced by train, or skipped by switching to another group while you cover the ground.

[Shoruke]

It'd be cool to have a map to get a sense of scale and where things are. A 2-minute paint sketch is enough for me for now.
I've also switched my vote from starting with the Peterson's Family to the Randals...

I'll PM my trainers' stats to Kuji and Weird. I'll allocate the pokemons' stats when the session starts and we have some pogs.

Spoiler: Fluff for Alternate Universe Kaliche, now a mobster (click to show/hide)

Born and raised in Berryridge, Kaliche's parents tried hard to keep him away from the gangs and violence and such; they were both doctors, so they had him help out at the clinic they worked at. Kaliche himself lacks specialized medical knowledge, and so he was relegated to more mundane tasks... like taking care of newborns.  Like everyone in Berryridge, Kaliche knows a thing or two about berries. The pokemon he owns were litters from parent pokemon who didn't expect them and didn't have the resources to care for them, so he's raised them from birth.

After striking out on his own to live his own life, Kaliche somehow managed to fall in with the Randal Family, through a combination of his charismatic appeal, knack for talking himself out of tight spots, ability to raise strong Pokemon, and rudimentary knowledge of berries (which can be distilled into alcohol, or used to cure hangovers)

Spoiler: Fluff for Inezach, Aerokineticist turned smuggler (click to show/hide)

Inezach was born with telekinesis, and always had an affinity for the fresh air; the crowded streets of New Fuchsia, his hometown, contributed to this. One of his favorite passtimes was simply freerunning around above the buildings, using his powers to move from rooftop to rooftop and escape the crowded city below. Eventually, one of the Petersons who lived in the Fall Heights district noticed him running around on his roof; rather than turn Inezach in or hunt him down, he offered him a job as a smuggler. Inezach accepted, glad for a chance to use his powers for something other than wasting time. He made good use of the Petersons' training, from which he learned how to restore his health when using his powers got too tiring.

Spoiler: Fluff for Cereck, up-and-coming Ace Trainer turned vigilante (click to show/hide)

Cereck spent the entirety of his childhood in Challenger Town, and being a Pokemon Battler had always been his dream. It's all that really happened where he lived, so it wound up being the only life path he really considered. He eventually wound up affiliating himself with the CEM (on a somewhat strained basis, since he only partially agrees with their ideals) to give himself a cause to fight for and train for, as well as to get stronger before truly breaking out on his own.

Time for my Fluff

Spoiler: Beatrice Peterson (click to show/hide)

 
A distant relative of the leadership in the Peterson Family, however, she is so far back in the line of succession that she really doesn't have any claim to the family beyond her own achievements. From a young age she was obsessed with fire. Something about this chemical reaction drew her in, and just never let go. She believes that fire is an expresison of power, pasison, and life all in a small pretty package. Being a part of the supernatural Petersons brought forth the ability to even create and control flame as time went on. Wanting to support her family is equal in her mind to just enjoying her life, and admiring the beauty of such flames.  Beatrice typically wears a black bodice without a blouse, a tight, knee-length leather skirt and high heeled red boots. A steel chainlink belt hangs from her hips, and the extra observant might see the small metal ball, or hide-bound handle that reveals the belt to be a chain whip. Her blonde hair is kept long and straight, and she adorns one temple with a red rose ruby hairpin given to her by her wealthy uncle.

Spoiler: Dael Shivverin (click to show/hide)

A master of the martial art known as Drunken Fist. As such, lately he has been seriously depressed about the state of things. He signed up with the Randal family soon after the laws were passed and has been helping them train for street fights and battles ever since. He's a scrapper in most things, prefering to duke it out over talking. He also dislikes relying on pokemon, Dael sees them as a crutch of the weak. Mr. Shivverin usually wears a comfortable, ragged pinstripe suit with a general brown hue from several years of age and abuse. His typical fedora covers his messy hair on a forward angle, and he tends to leave his tie loose below his stubble-covered chin. He has the odd habit of walking around without any shoes or socks on, and he is almost constantly with a bottle of some sort of dark unknown liquid.

Spoiler: Walter Anderson (click to show/hide)

 
A formerly renown writer of some repute. His novel, "Pokemon, Pokecenters, Poketorture." Is a cult classic and nearly a handbook for people who believe that pokemon are treated unfairly by most trainers. Mr. Anderson currently works for a major newspaper company in Crystalwater City, and works to help the CEM both with his writing as much as his direct participation. Several years ago, after his book started to fade from popularity, Walter was falling into a writing slump when one night the letters of his reference books began to move on their own. The swarm of pokemon filled the room, and Walter blacked out. When he woke up the next morning, there was only one of the strange floating letters left, but the writer has felt a connection to the unown species of pokemon ever since. He still travels with the first unown he ever met. Walter usually wears a button up shirt and tie, along with pleated dress pants and simple leather shoes. His clean-shaven face is adorned by a pair of thin metal glasses, and his dark hair usually is cut short under a press cap. It is not unusual to find his favorite walking cane propped up against the desk as he works on what he hopes will be the next great novel, and not more flops like most after his first.

And my vote for which family or group we start with remains easily changed if people want to play another faction. I can play and enjoy any of the three I think.

[Dwarmin]

I'll vote CEM to start, though like the others, I don't mind what we end up on.

[Haika]

So, Tar, D, Sho and Myself have characters in with fluff stuff posted. Felius mentioned he was joining right? Anyone else planning on playing?

Also, I believe the vote currently stands 2 Randal, 1 CEM. Missing votes from Tar and Felius I believe.

[Felius]

I'll abstain. All of them sounds fun to me.

[Weirdsound]

I'm going to close the polls now and say Randel, so Kuji and I can prepare something.

[Taricus]

Haika, I voted Peterson. But whatever. Atleast I know which pogset I have to make now.

[Haika]

ahh sorry Tar. I'm sure we will switch before too long. I like my peterson character too.

So while I'm in the mood, need to know what Maps to try and set up for tomorrow. If you have any in mind GM type persons.

[Taricus]

Eh, I'm not too worried, I think all my characters for this are good

Also, I may've forgotten to put the physical descriptions of my characters up, which I shall rectify right now.

EDIT: Kuji, sheets are set in stone, they're staying as they are.
