(Ace) The FROST Team

Trying my own hand at this ey

So I will be trying to start a team that has some plot planned beforehand, but spots are first come first serve. Just like the original teams were! There are a number of plot lines this could take, and all depends on who joins and what goes down.

With Marsh one away from filling, I would like to give some people the opportunity to join a team that is just open, there for people who maybe even are new or insecure about planning beforehand.

This idea is for a second cold ass team, YOU ALL READY LOL that takes place at the Frost Cavern in Kalos, North of Dendemille Town.
I will be leading this with mah boys Formaldehyde the Sneasel & Cyanide the Houndoom.
They will be having some more info up in due time, but the important parts are their relationships, both with each other and strangers.

Cyanide suffers from severe paranoia and schizophrenia. Most of his life he was with a trainer and pushed past what he was able to endure, triggered and abused by his trainer, but only with the Epidemic was able to escape and be with his brother. He cannot stand being in large groups, people scare the fuck out of him. He often has delusions of things people have said, looks directed at him, as well as major issues telling dreams from reality. More will come to light as I do my own research on him. Generally soft spoke, easily spooked, timid, very fear driven. Not much in the past has helped his heart open up, but maybe someone in rp could help with that. A romance, maybe? (either gender would work tbh)

Formaldehyde, nicknamed "Lucy", is the opposite. Gruff, a hardass, deep voice. Very stern, stoic. Classic tsundere. He is downright nasty. Very battle hardy, he even enjoys it greatly, but since losing his past life, spends all of his energy protecting and taking care of Cyan. Always has a cigarette in his mouth, or nearby, he is very intimidating, slashing with battle hardened speed.

Formaldehyde will regularly patrol th caves and cavers and outisde, taking out any intruders who show up, and chasing off living. Using Avalanche, he can cause great waves of ice and snow to fall, or use Icicle crash to chase off intruders initially when in the caves. But when outnumbered and cornered, he would be forced to comply and help them out. Or he could work on chasing them out? Maybe after meeting Cyanide, some would act kinder or even  become increasingly aggressive? Or what would happen in a child joined, someone innocent and helpless? It is up i the air!

Plot points are open for suggestion, but no spots are reserved in this team. It is first come, first serve.

Just throwing stuff at you lol. We can discuss plot later.

So after a little talking with Nighty, I have some more plot to offer

Kalos has only recently been hit by the infection, so infected are not as common as the rest of the world yet. On top of that, the Frost Cavern is extremely cold and frozen, so even if there were infected or undead, they would be sluggish, slow, as well as naturally turning slower due to the climate.
No, the real problems are not from undead, but the living. Taking great inspiration from the Walking Dead game, there will be a team of bandits. There will be a small elite team of Pokemon led by their trainer, an uninfected human. He will be on a mission not only to survive, but steal what he can and capture any wild Pokemon. They are more thieves than anything else, so the group won't be too much about harming anyone unless they lash out first.

Cyanide will be living in the furthest part of the cave, in Abomnasnow's old chamber. Formaldehyde leaves his brother there alone during the day, going to patrol and chase out any intruders. He will not be knowing either Avalanche or Icicle crash, but with a fairly diverse moveset, he can still cover his weaknesses. Anyone showing up to the cavern could be very newly introduced to the infection in general, because of Kalos, or hardened and very aware of the state of the world. Either way, they just have to outnumber and beat Form, and he'll reluctantly be forced to offer shelter or something.

With the human bandit, I think it would be fun if someone got captured. It depends on who joins us, but I am happy to have Cyanide get captured. The human is an NPC, and Formaldehyde would go mad with worry and go after his brother. Cyan could easily be freed by breaking the Pokeball. Or if someone else wanted to be captured too or just instead, it can be discussed as time goes on.

((is that enough Mew aha))

With all of the teams full, I would like to push the FROST team for approval :33c

Team Approved. You may begin submitting characters.

Thank you Mew :3c

Welp, first come first serve. :b
I would like to attempt a join at this team. I can join with Mark the Meowstic. He's still WIP, and needs some polishing, but he should be done soon.

https://www.epidemicjohto.com/t5759-mark-the-plotting-meowstic-wip

I gotta get to other things, so we can drop PMs to discuss plot later if you wish.

Yep yep xD snag dem spots while ya can

I would love to have him here! You've already spoken to me about your plans for him, and I would be more than willing to help you go through all of that! (HOLY COW I HATE MY CITY IVE SNEEZED AT LEAST EIGHTEEN TIMES JUST NOW GDI) Feel free to expand on that here or in a PM if ya wanna keep it more hush hush. As people start getting profiles approved dough, you guys can post here with any ideas ya want.

I also suggest going to the reservation thread if you wanna guarantee yourself a spot. I cant save you one, but i have had two people express they want to join who've not posted on this thread so spots are going p fast!

i'll be hopping on with my human-pokemon duo,
https://www.epidemicjohto.com/t5680-bak-yuri-the-human-borasaek-dalgyal-the-gengar-frost-ace#86202

lacking a translator and selectively mute, it is extremely likely that yuri will not utter a single word in this whole roleplay with the exception of her first few posts when she is alone with Dal. (unless if someone manages to get close with her) despite this she's still kindly and generous along with having knowledge on herbal medicines and treatments due to her profession. she will be heavily dependent on her gengar, dal, to communicate with the others. with any stranger she'll be excessively wary but she warms up fairly quickly. she also has two other pokemon, a froslass and a jellicent, that she will send out if she believes they are needed. (she's reluctant to use her other pokemon because of the infection)

although initially distant and hiding behind dal, yuri will still help out with anything that needs to be helped and will be overjoyed at the idea of more company. she'll get along well with anyone who is willing to just keep her company, even if she can't understand anything. she's a good listener and will sit and listen as a pokemon rambles on about whatever they want, although she won't be able to reply.

dal is a whole different story. although seemingly gentlemanly he's overprotective of yuri and will easily (and quite gleefully) slice the hands/paws/what-have-you off of whoever dares to harm his trainer. his deep bond with yuri allows him to know what she wants to say or how she feels and he will mostly be translating yuri's small movements and glances to tell others what she wants to say. he gets along fine with other pokemon regardless of who they are, he's very adaptable. he just always has ulterior motives and his own goals.

despite seeming close to others his relationships (with the exception of yuri) are ones that feel very close but are in reality very quick to sever. he has no qualms against killing others to ensure the survival of his trainer and himself. he's very strong and has a good moveset, one that he will freely use to kill off bothing living and undead. he's a pretty okay guy though, just don't get on his bad side.

So I'll be joining with Noah the Swampert and Ellie the Taillow. 

These two have a very father-daughter relationship, since Noah took Ellie's egg and raised it after everyone else he knew, including his Trainer, died due to the epidemic. There is a bit of confusion here and there about why Ellie is a small bird and Noah is a big, blue mud fish, lol, but all in all their relationship is pretty solid.

Noah has done some things in the past that he is not proud of, back when the epidemic was a new thing he went to desperate measures to keep himself and baby Ellie alive. Realising his mistakes and the impact they'd have on Ellie in the long run, he decided that they were best off living alone. 

He is very protective of Ellie, so much so that he'd attack without hesitation if he thought someone was a danger to her. She's his last and only treasure, and his way of making up for his past mistakes. Otherwise, he is friendly enough, if a little wary. He has no reason to distrust humans, so meeting a bunch of hostile ones will be a surprise to him. He is strong, due to having a Trainer in the past, and is a tough Pokemon to take down once you get into a fight with him. 

Ellie, on the other hand, has no fear. She knows that the undead are a threat and will keep away from them, but knows that Noah will always protect her. She is very curious, always asking Noah questions about things she sees in the world and wanting to explore new places. She exhausts the poor old Swampert lol. She cannot fly, so mostly just sits atop Noah's head while he transports her from place to place. 

These two are likely to wander into the Frost Cavern to take shelter from the snow. Noah in particular has noticed that there aren't many undead around and so will be curious as to where they actually are. Being originally from Hoenn and never having visited Kalos, this is a new experience for both of them.

HO SON

I've read all of them and I love it. I can't wait to have you two on the team :DD

I've already discussed this over PM but I'll be joining with Spot

We still having the human Idea Kaze? Am just curious as I still think it would be a interesting idea.

Yup. The human bandit will still be making an appearance and will initially be targeting Cory.

I was thinking after reading some of the plot that was already made for the team by it's maker about the abomnasnow's old chamber maybe we have our bandit staked out and living there. With what his current team is (what ever we want it to be with move sets), also having trapped the area around him to fend off pokemon infected or not.

Was also seeing that Kaze wants to keep the bandit idea about him 'capturing' someone. Suggestion that it's maybe not Cory but Spot, being said I think it would make a little more RP. Spot being our team leader role without him the team would quickly fall into chaos and the remaining team unorganized for easy picking for the bandit. Durring this time we can have Cory (Kaze being team leader) or Jack while they plan to get Spot back.

This also being said that the Bandit's hold out will also have supplies that the team might need. Food, water, blankets and such that the team can use. Maybe even Tms/Hms.

Thinking the cave will also have it's dangers, forth most the cave entry goes bye bye so not getting out hence why food becomes harder to get outside the bandit camp. Water seems fairly easy to get due to some water being in the cave but harder to get with dangers of thin ice or falling into the frigid cold water. Rock/Ice/Snow cave ins if the team is being to loud in some locations or moves are used against the walls. The bandit traps and of course literally freezing to death all being the dangers of the team to face from the location.

Hey hey! C:

So with the recent Harbinger attack (I apologize about that, by the way) I was thinking about changing Lancelot's character drastically in the aftermath, making him possibly more courageous, snappy, and unfeeling. (Basically, not giving a damn about his appearance for a while, tumbling into a small depression.) Are there any objections to this? And is there any ways you guys would like to somehow add Lancelot's change to the plot/future of the team?

Thank you. C: I'm sorry if this sounded silly, totally not good at planning anything. ^-^;

I don't have any objections but Jack on the other hand wouldn't be in the mood for anything not to mention he'll want to avenge Spot's death but he won't leave anyone behind.

That would be fun, considering how Lancelot is probably going to jump from wanting to help to being a complete jerk. XD That could cause some clashing in the group. I'm planning on this being a 'coming of age' thing for Lancelot.

By all means Vanilla, though he didn't know spot that long he seemed to be erhm 'flirting?' alot with spot so sadly with spots death each will have their own reaction to the events. I got an Idea how we can incorporate this in at least with my two with stick in the mud Gabe already and Jeri's own reaction. He's gonna be taking alot of grumpy lessons from Gabe. But Yes, I already have an idea.

Very interesting, I like it. Per say of the 'mon that are left behind Jack may have to step into a temporary leader role while the group comes out of chaos. With the 'mon there Either you or Cedric's gonna have to fill in spots paws to help lead them ahead, what should be more amusing to see that he wants revenge and has everyone else following him. Seeing how Jeri already likes him and Gabe does trust him more, think you can guess who's on my mind. Do I get revenge or do I stay and help the others sort of moral choice.

In regards to my own idea's about reactions, just gonna keep it short; Jeri is gonna be heart broken that his best friend was just killed and may need some support to help him bounce back as it want be to hard before he tries to bring the rest of the group back out of depression. Gabe is going to sink into himself a little more due that the only ones he like and trust (with Jeri) was spot and jack. With him already being stick in the mud he has more of a reason to directly feed interestingly fear from seeing Ala's attack as he was before harb. With fall into more self hate for being weak and generally not be nice to anyone now.

Either way I got to try and connect Cedric now and talk more directly with her about idea's now... *sad face*

HEY i'm here, i may or may not have forgotten this forum existed...

honestly dal will be largely unaffected by the attack, simply because he just can't care + he's grown so used to death at this point. (he's a ghost, lbr) as soon as the attack happens his first and foremost priority will be to getting yuri to safety, who will be panicking and trying to get away.

after the attack is over, dal will still very much be putting yuri's safety first and will want to leave the others behind because he believes the larger group is what is attracting so many undead. he will try to usher himself and yuri away and further into the caves to find a safe spot.

however, yuri has a kind heart, she'll object to leaving the others and will want to bring everyone with them because she doesn't want anymore of them to get hurt and, even though she's wary about strangers, she still thinks of them as good company. she'll probably argue with dal until dal finally gives up and basically says "fine, whatever, they can come with us, but it's your responsibility now, yuri."

yuri will try to take on a brave face and responsible demeanor and help the others get somewhere into the caves where they can take a breather and rest. even though she can't communicate, and she's a little awful with trying to get her shit together, she'll try her best to help everyone and be friendly with them all. she really doesn't want to see anyone else get hurt again.

one problem that will come up eventually is the fact that yuri can' tolerate the cold, since she's a human. despite her relatively thick clothing she is still wearing short sleeves, and staying in the frost caverns for too long was bound to chill her anyways. she'll become more lethargic and have a hard time moving around, and will eventually collapse because her body can't take it. she'll have to figure out some way to stay warmer, which might be remedied by the fact that there's furry animals and a fire-type on the team.

Ohhhhhh I love it all and can see this very much happening. In regard to the cold aye will becoming trouble for Ms. Yuri but per said do have some fluffy 'mon as well as fire type. As this would 'force' her to open up more to the strangers and dal to let others help as well. But also got thinking more long term for more reason for our bandit raids. Bandit would have been living in the depths for awhile so am sure blankets and warmer clothing for her can be accessed.

Love the ideas flowing guys! ^-^

The only reason I'm going to have Lancelot be so affected by it is that he was unable to protect one of his friends in the past.

And the bandits; wasn't Spot supposed to get kidnapped originally? The new 'leader' may have to take that spot, pardon the pun.

I like the idea of Jack taking a sort of leader role while everyone gets their shit together. This is more of a plot twist than I originally thought. Glad I'm on a team with such intelligent people. <3

Aye hence why I said need to talk with the group when that point coming up for volunteers. Just the point that comes up is while the 'mon is kidnapped/captured one of many things then come up; main one is whos playing Bandit as team leader it should but again if anyone want to try their hand at it ask/talk Cedric. Can the captured 'mon still post of will their turns be skipped, the main reason why it was spot is because it was dual with Cory and who wouldn't want a three headed houndoom powerful 'mon. What would help is if we another another perm human on the team that would fit this role perfectly or wouldn't mind playing it. Would say floater but our bandit human is going to be a plot device long term.

It's just my option being one of the original's on the team, and with current party set up it came down to Jack or Dal and Dal is already worried only about Yuri. I don't see my boys leading for the smae reason that Jeri is a kiddy and Gabe is watching only after himself and Gabe. Lanc and Sheron are to new to the team to really have trust going for them. But that's not stopping them for working for leader role

What if the Bandit was an NPC? Kind of like some people do with the Undead in their posts? It may make the bandit more malleable to conform to the teams needs.
