Default Calgary Estate (Mystery/Horror RP)

In a rather unique part of the Pokemon world, there is a region which isn't actually recognized as a region yet. The human population wasn't very large because it was only inhabited recently. However, it's increasing steadily as the world hears more about the strange and fascinating things that happen in this particular region.

However, that can also work the other way. This region isn't all sunshine and flowers. There are some dark secrets that only the attentive or the unfortunate will begin to notice. One of the rather frightening dangers of this region threatens the town of Felegar, a town that is usually a nice place to live. Lots of scenery, a prosperous economy, and a general goodwill of the people make this place desirable to those who are curious about moving.

But there are reports about an old and dilapidated estate, not far from Felegar. Rising concerns about missing people, as well as Pokemon are beginning to turn up in newspapers, local media, and across the internet. Then a Riolu began to be the center of attention; a strange, watchful Pokemon who observes people through their windows and sometimes even in their houses. There are questions about whether it's alive or a ghost, given its elusive nature.

Now it has reached a point where the old house is considered dangerous and a threat to the people of Felegar. But someone other than the authorities has decided to pay a visit to the place to find out for himself, and see if he can figure out what's going on. Although not officially a Pokemon Ranger, he has several contacts among the ranks and has called the Ranger HQ for assistance in helping him find out what is going on in the estate. He says that this place could be life-threatening, given the circumstances around Calgary Estate.

It was the same night he entered the building that something worse than several disappearances was developing.


This is an idea that came into my head recently, after watching a couple of videos on youtube. The RP will develop into something like a mix of Pokemon, Shivers (PC), and Cluedo (the PC game). All the characters that enter the estate are at risk of dying. It's up to you to make sure that doesn't happen.

Participants will take turns based on the order of signup:

1st: Armed Floatzel
2nd:
3rd:
4th:

There will *only* be three slots, so sign up quickly. A fourth one will be shown leniency if lost to a faster poster. But don't try to tell me that you weren't fast enough if your post has a 4-hour gap between the last poster.

Now for the Signup:

Name: Grigor Telestona
Age: 19
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Faction (if any): Independent, though sometimes works alongside the Pokemon Rangers.

Appearance: Quite tall. Has short black hair and gray eyes. Also has pale skin. From an exaggerated point of view, he looks like a cross between a detective and a necromancer, and looks a bit intimidating for that reason. Out of character, he has similar facial features to Squall Leonhart, minus the scar. He wears a black jacket and gray pants. Wears a white t-shirt underneath. Conceals a sheathed dagger in his jacket as a last resort defense.

Personality: Serious, but has a funny side when things aren't looking so gloomy. Quite witty when he wants to be, though he usually doesn't try to argue with anyone. Straight to the point, most of the time, though he can change his language if the situation calls for it. Some people before they get to know him say he's reserved, spooky, and a bit cold. But he has a heart and good intentions, but he'll only show it to those that he trusts. He knows right from wrong, but sometimes he likes to play little scare pranks to keep people on their toes.

Potential strengths/weaknesses: He sometimes spaces out when deep in thought. Will sometimes stare at something that he isn't sure about, usually to determine its safety. Sometimes very quiet, worryingly so. Why he's so quiet sometimes is a mystery until something happens. Quick to react to a dangerous situation. Can be distracted by minor things when faced with a bigger issue. Has borderline Hypotension, so he needs to be careful and make sure he doesn't get injured. It takes less of an injury to seriously harm him than most, given his very low blood pressure.

Other info: The dagger he carries is actually a family heirloom. His great grandfather crafted it to protect himself from ruffians during his life as a security guard. Grigor keeps it sharp in case he needs to use it.

Default

Name: Kimori Naturia
Age: 15
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Factions: Independent

Appearance: A faded jade green jacket torn at the elbows and stitched up askew. He looks younger than he really is, but has a rather grotesque appearance by way of dirty and rugged clothes as well as incredibly pale skin. He usually carries a torn green blanket around with him.

Personality: Very quiet and refuses to socialize with anyone through actual verbal communication. People tend to avoid him, due to his aura of hostility which doesn't actually exist. He lacks trust and will avoid socializing if the occasion will allow it.

Potential strengths/weaknesses: He has very fast reflexes and an analytic mind. Small details will not escape his eye, whether they be personality or actual solid detail. Despite such, he tends to be afraid of trivial things, but he enjoys adventure. He cannot regulate his emotions very well, so he shifts between moods almost spontaneously, and the inability to regulate the emotions tends to be his undoing.

Other info: He is homeless and lacks any living family members. He secretively carries around a sword that his father used to use as a child.

Is it possible my character can have more magic-based abilities, or should we just have swords and the like?

Try to avoid using magic unless it's utility-based, like a fire-finger light, or something like that. I'll send you a PM to tell you why I don't want too many weapons in the RP.
