(ACE) The MARSH Team

Is it o.k. for Veir and Zhen to come across Rhea's body slightly before/at the same time as Jennifer and Martha?

**Team Sheet

TEAM ROSTER:

[*]Leader - Eleroo the Radeon and Seek the Aiveon (Dandelion)
[*]Shenron the Charizard (Baloo)
[*]Asura the Machamp (R'hia Kyrie)
[*]Felix the Sylveon (ShadowCharizard)
[*]Gabriel the Larvitar (Requiem)
[*]OPEN
[*]Floater - Green

Yeah, at the same time is OK. Is it all right to let Martha be the first to see it though?

Guys I'm a little low on ideas for this team at the moment. Anyone got anything they want to do a little later?

I was thinking that, after they discover Rhea, they can escape from the birds by hiding in one of the trams. After that, what do you fancy doing?

Guys, honestly, anything. Tell me any ideas you have. I'm rapidly losing interest in this team and may have to replace Martha with someone else since she's not leader material and I can't get my Hawlucha character (who can act as a leader) approved yet.

Hmm.. if they are going to stay in one of the trams we could work off that. Like, the doors could be rusted away or maybe there is a large hole thats needs patching. The cement platform could be broken, or a train could of fallen off into the swamp. Thats more aesthetic though ><
They can spend some time trying to fortify their shelter with logs, vines, mud ect that they would have to gather.
Or after they get there maybe there can be introductions and a need for a food search? Medicine or bedding that isnt swampy and gross?

Zhen is a hungry undead, that's going to have to be addressed at some point. Vier can stop him from attacking any of the other living but Rhea's body is going to be looking mighty tasty for him. Right now they're still rather far away but they'll be getting back into the thick of it next post.

Hiding in a broken down tram sounds like a good idea, personally I'd love to see some classic zombie action here with everyone sheltering and trying to barricade the doors while the flock continues to attack outside. Perhaps it can be a half-sunken car and there being worries it'll fully sink before the flock leaves them alone. If everyone helps out with the barricade it'll be a good way to show everyone's willing to help.

I like the idea of the tram needing patching up. We could use the time that they're doing that plus gathering supplies such as food to introduce themselves. Martha won't be much help I'm afraid - more of a quivering, crying mess, lol.

Speaking of Martha, she isn't really leader material, especially after recent events. Therefore I'm thinking of replacing her with someone better. Right now I'm thinking either Seth or Jerome.

Any ideas/preferences/whatever?

I'd like for the others to meet Vier alone first, seeing as Zhen isn't the friendliest undead.

Perhaps Zhen can come in next post, cause some trouble around the corpse and give everyone else and excuse/opportunity to get away (unless you want a few more posts of trauma). Vier can meet up with the other living and point out he thought he saw some place they could shelter (turning out to be the cable car) Once he realizes Vier has gone Zhen will follow.

As much as I'd love to see Jerome back I have a small preference for Seth, other than that I love where the plot is going. The contents of Vier's bag are still a mystery but can include some healing berries if anyone gets injured.

That's fine Kaze, good way to kick up some drama. Martha will likely need one helluva good push to get her moving - anyone's free to try and do that, since she's pretty much frozen with shock and will probably not even notice the birds while she's like this. 

Oh, I was thinking Jerome. XD The main reason for that is that Seth is very passionate about his homeland, Hoenn, and so for him to have a truly happy ending (which I want) he'd have to be there. He's got this strong "I was born there so I'll die there" mentality. 

On the other hand, both he and Jerome could pull out a decent plot later on - Seth's health is declining and Jerome is recently infected. It'll be one helluva bombshell when he figures it out later. 

So yeah, I want Jerome, but I'm also eager to hear what you guys would like.

Permission for a fallen Vier to try and help Elroo and Seek out with an Ice Beam, only for it to miss and him to come under attack as well?

Go for it~


And as much as Id love to see good guy Seth, I think good ol' Jerome would be better since we are in Sinnoh. Either would do a good job.

Jerome it is. c:

So in one or two more posts, Martha will be going inactive until I can find her (and possibly Frankie) a new team. She's basically going to freak out for another couple of turns before running off and disappearing. 

I'll shortly be getting to work on Jerome's profile - it just needs a few updates. 

So while I do that and we wait for him to be approved, what do the rest of you want to do? You're more than free to continue the fight with the flock of birds and/or find shelter in a tram like we discussed earlier. Thing is, though, I'm not really sure that the team will be allowed to go on without an elite leader, so we may need to go on hold for a bit.

Just trying to work out the positioning of everyone right now. In my mind Zhen, Jennifer and Martha are on one side versus the undead flock around Rhea's body and Vier, Seek and Eleroo are on the other side versus less birds.
Seeing as Vier's ability is Lightningrod the stray electricity probably wouldn't reach Cinder's Eevees right?

I think putting the team on hold while Jerome is pending approval is a good idea, the team can't really function without an Elite.

So, uh, not sure if this was the appropriate place to still be doing discussions or if there was a skype group these days, but wanted to say thank you in advance to all those on Marsh Team. This is my first team to be in on this site (though I am not new to in-depth roleplay), and I look forward to doing my best and further improving my writing and roleplaying skills. I was wondering if it was ok to essentially have Asura enter the scene in a slightly aggressive and agitated state, mostly looking to prevent further bloodshed.

You have my permission to punch Zhen square in his undead, dark type jaw. He is not a happy camper right now.

I'll keep that in mind, I'm still not sure just how aggressive I want him to be upon entering the scene. I can guarantee that a good amount of displeasure will be shown towards zhen :> Thanks for being so open so quick, Kaze~!

I typed this up in skype but forgot to post it here! Haha whoops.

Alright! So what we are looking at is the team wanting to get out of the marsh as soon as its day again. They are going to set up camp for the night in the tram station and once day breaks follow the tracks back toward the city.
Route 112 is always pouring down rain so whats gonna go down is a massive rainstorm and I mean massive! As everyone is heading toward the city the rain is going to start falling, coating the nearby routes, the marsh, Pastoria City, everything. There will be flooding, mudslides, and heavy wind.

Now this isn't going to be some freak weather phenomena. Its continual, annual, almost normal even and some Pokemon have taken it upon themselves to use the City as their personal shelter during the times of heavy rain. They will have commandeered either most or all of the city and will be hostile to outsiders as this is their home and their larder is limited/low.

Seek for one is not going to enjoy being told to leave when all they want is some shelter from the rain. If the team does try to leave they are going to find that heavy flooding/mudslides block the exits and make land-based travel dangerous. The fliers cant help either because the wind is too strong above the houses and trees for them to maneuver safely, especially with passengers. What this all boils down to is a turf war over miscommunication and just looking for a dry place to stay.

Anyone got anything to add, spices things up maybe? This is gonna be a party. A cold, wet, miserable party 8)

Also, welcome R'hia! I hope its an enjoyable time for you~

Zhen is on edge, particularly now there's a Sneasel around.

He's going into territorial mode and will be aggressive and snappish. Vier will be able to reign him in from outright attacking but he will be on the defensive and any other pokemon too close by will be growled and snapped at or at worse attacked to keep them back. You are welcome to pick a fight with him and it will come to blows but he will mostly be trying to keep himself between Vier and the 'hostile' pokemon encroaching on his 'territory'. He will also start kill hoarding and view any corpse, regardless of status, as 'his kill' and try and defend it from scavengers.

Naturally all this will become an issue as they move towards the city because few survivors want to deal with a group that contains a very obviously undead pokemon.

I had thought this out and if Dandelion is wanting to agree to this. With Seek and Felix not seeing eye to eye with each other, I was wondering if like an illness was to strike Felix while he was asleep and wakes up on the next day with a fever and shivering badly though it isn't the infection, but a more natural sickness.

Sounds like a plan. Go for it if you want, though the day change isn't for a while!

So here's what I was thinking. A possible illness that might be happening is a fever/pneumonia like symptom would wreak havoc on Felix rendering him unable to fight and in need of some medicine to fight off the illness otherwise finding the herbal medicine would be an alternative.

You just had Felix find a bunch of berries. Wouldn't he try those first?
The team is about to have its first encounter with those occupying the city, so having a chance to actually find medicine [and finding any at all] probably wont happen for a good while.

Yeah, he did get the berries, but it was oran, pecha and leppa berries so they wouldn't treat it. So after the first encounter he would need to look through the berries Asura has obtained to see the right one. Other than that, he does have a couple leppa berries to use in case anyone needs to refreshen a certain move.

Felix should be waking up next round.
