[Weirdsound]

This will be a maptools campaign run my myself and Kujiun, once again staring everybodies secret (or not so secret) childhood (or adult) passion: Pokemon!

This campaign will be set in an 1920's prohibition style setting and will feature three Waring factions. Each player will make one character for each faction and we will cycle through them as we get bored, want to skip some travel time, or want to put off an important event for one faction until all players are present.

Each PC starts at Trainer Level 5 with two level 10 Pokemon capable of evolution. Each PC also gets a couple boons from their faction to be invoked during character creation, or later.

For full details on factions, faction boons, as well as a lot of setting information for use in character backgrounds check out this Google Doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Oi3eapNUp-cWPVrQpV4tMMMYkhBznXNDEJc2ztdUPfc/edit

[KujiUn]

Yo! I'm Kuji, and I'm going to take the first reply for the systematic needs.

Alright, first off is the system. You can find it in TWO places!

http://pokemontabletop.wikidot.com/start for all your trainer needs (well, most, not all, but they're getting there)
http://forums.pokemontabletop.com/site/ for everything else! (we always play the latest version, barring circumstances)

[Taricus]

And now, I'm going to take this post so I have somewhere to put my character fluff (sheets will also be added here if the GMs want me too, as they were PMed)

Spoiler: Sami Taiya (click to show/hide)

A Hoennic national that immigrated after serving with its military during the great war, she signed onto one of the largest weapon manufacturers as an engineer and designer. Of course, the ever-increasing gang violence has made her recommit to fighting once more, this time as a member of the CEM. Her pokemon aren't the standard military issue (She had to give those back), but rather her own, personal pokemon. She currently lives out of contact with the rest of her family, and doesn't spend too much time socializing, prefering to stay buried in her work.

Sami is a tall, blond-haired woman with blue eyes, usually wearing military-style boots, trousers, shirt and a coloured leather jacket

Spoiler: Sha Hu (click to show/hide)

A descendant of immigrants of Kantonese heritage, Sha's family owns a traditional massage parlour, in which Sha served as an entertainer and masseuse in it's legal portion, while his sister runs the entire business. The business itself is owned by the Randal family, but it is mostly a spot for it's lower-ranked members, and generally doesn't make too much money to be embroiled in the gang wars.

Sha also has a bit of history street fighting, most of the time beating up thugs that harrassed his sister or her employees, and also participated in the fight club in the basement as a warmup fighter, though he has retired from that role with age, though he has not lost the grace of his youth.

Spoiler: Godfrey Thalmots (click to show/hide)

Godfrey is an aspiring researcher, Hailing from (Insert british culture here) after his family disowned him when they discovered he was a psychic. It's not too clear why he is with the peterson family, considering his background, though it's not too hard to see why'd he would be wanted: His studies into pokemon linguistics, and it is more than likely that they are trying to keep his work hidden.

[Dwarmin]

Rp go!

Spoiler: Jean Rea Du'Hiver (click to show/hide)

-Affiliation: Randall Family

A minor league criminal with former Team Rocket ties, specializing in combat.

She has a flare for the dramatic-from her youth, she earned her stripes working on the cold streets of Mahogany town, and gained a reputation for leaving frozen corpses in her wake. Unfortunately, the rest of her gang was more interested in jockeying for what power they had, than actually earning any for themselves-around five years ago, it imploded, culminating in an internal bloodbath, round of arrests and subsequent power vacuum-one that was easily filled by a subsidiary the Randall family. Jean barely survived that black day through sheer determination-and a willingness to sacrifice her own pokemon.

Being than Jean was fairly the only survivor of the mess who both avoided prison or ratting, her unique skills quickly caught the attention of Mini 'Boots' Claire...

Jean favors cold ice and deadly poison types, suiting her nature.

Spoiler: Morty Blue (click to show/hide)

-Affiliation: Peterson Family

A hired hand and a hopeless wreck sums him up nicely-and a passable medic that asks no questions. He's owned by the Peterson family, in every sense of the word.

Morty served as a medic in the war with Unova-when he got back Home, he found himself increasingly pained by the things he had seen and experienced. He feel into the common trap, chasing pleasure and distraction, trying to forget-but it only made things worse. He drove away what family and friends he had left, diving head first into self destruction. Eventually, he crashed-and lost a sizable amount of money in Peterson family gambling dens. His biggest loss, the one that cost him his life and freedom, was to none other than Natasha Scorch herself.

He had no way of paying it all back, and she had known it from the start. Only his skill with a surgical scalpel, useful to the families interests, saved him from a fatal appointment with her-though she insists it's merely delayed...

He works for the family now, trying to desperately pay back his gambling markers before the family decides to collect.

Morty prefers defensive pokemon, of the rock type more often than not-though his new career has forced him to be a bit more aggressive.

Spoiler: Harry Dreadstone (click to show/hide)

-Affiliation: CEM

A man who doesn't know how to stay down-a freelance psychic investigator with a steady mind.

Harry had always wanted to do good, always had delusions of heroism. But, while the whole country was off dying in the Trenches of Unova, he was fighting a more personal battle against the forces of chaos and corruption at home. He lost.

After a short stint in the New Fuchsia police force, followed by an even shorter career in investigative journalism showed him how deep the corruption truly was in Cheyenne-and how powerless any one man was to stop it.

He went off the tracks, using his psychic detective skills to bring back justice denied on a more personal basis, as a private investigator. Sometimes he won, sometimes he lost-but he earned enemies from all corners, political and criminal alike. He fought the good fight for as long as he could...

He was following a kidnapping case to an Illegal Distillery in the Plains of Fire, when it exploded-he barely got out. It ended up killing a prominent member of one of the crime families, and just as quick, he found himself with a bounty from corrupt law enforcement and the criminal world alike, eager to pin it on their old foe.

He never solved the case either, and it's still eating away at him.

Lacking options and hunted in all corners, he's joined up with CEM in desperation-for his own protection, and hoping he can finally stop running, and put a real dent in his enemies.

Harry has a fondness for Dark type pokemon, enjoying the reversal of the typical role of perceived evil and good.

[Felius]

Yay. Characters will be done soon.

[KujiUn]

Jesus goodness, not even pretending to create characters.

Also, D, if you have your character genned up, you need to send them to me. You also have the same warning about optimizing that I gave Taricus.

[Dwarmin]

Actually finished, and I just sent it to WS, redirecting it you I guess.

Also, warning about optimization? 

Taricus didn't tell me anything about that when I spoke to him last night, and I missed the session.

[KujiUn]

Very simple.

If you do it ONCE in play, I will beat your character to the ground, leaving him/her for dead and/or ban you from the game on the spot.

Also, a special warning to you. IF I HAVE TO BULLSHIT SOMETHING, DO NOT FACTCHECK IT.

Hmm, I assume you mean doing extreme optimization, not merely making a competent character.

Aside: I'm just considering what I'll make, and made the post to make it easier to find the thread later. The character shall be done quite soon

[KujiUn]

Of course. I had a feeling that was implied.

EDIT: kotodes.wikidot.com now points you to the Dryspell page.

EDIT 2: Wow, when did Authority Figure get that huge of a buff?

[Weirdsound]

Should have been more clear D, but the bonus feats still need a TL. You just get to ingore the requirements is all. Make a few small changes relating to that, and send em in to Kuji.

[Dwarmin]

Eh, do I have to redo and send the entire thing?

I'm pretty sure the only change is to delete my bonus for Jean, and Morty takes Connection instead of Egg Hatcher.

[Weirdsound]

Just make those changes and send it to Kuji. He is the one taking care of the character sheets.

[Dwarmin]

Kuji already has it.

[KujiUn]

Oh, by the way.

Your bonus feat counts as a Jack. If you choose to go into the class you Jacked into before you use up your fourth class slot, it costs one feat, as normal.

EDIT: CEM page done. You can access it from the main page.

EDIT 2: BLUH BLUH IT'S EARLY IN THE MORNING

EDIT 3: You know, entering these characters makes me feel like the no-upkeep homebrew clause is becoming way too abused.
