(Please note to anyone reading: There will more than likely be some violence involved in this role-play, so please don't read if that would make you uncomfortable or trigger you.)
Welcome to Hoenn. But this isn’t the Hoenn you know. This is a different Hoenn. This Hoenn has all but forgotten about Team Aqua and Magma. This Hoenn has almost forgotten about Pokemon. In fact, many in Hoenn think Pokemon were only legends.
But you know differently. Because you have a Pokemon… just not in what used to be the conventional manner. Most, if not all species of Pokemon, are extinct, but there remains a soul or two of each evolutionary chain, waiting to show itself to someone they find worthy in the form of a Weapon (commonly a Sword). And you are one of the worthy, and you have your Weapon, and the Pokemon in that Weapon is looking for an adventure.
And so you go.Setting InfoHoenn is both the same and different. It is believed the island cities have been destroyed, and since no word has come from them no one assumes anything different. The Route 118 River has a bridge that’s been built over it and Rusturf Tunnel has been permanently cleared. The mainland of the region is able to be traveled by anyone, and all tall grass to most is an inconvenience. There has been some abandonment of the region, meaning that many of the smaller towns have fallen into disrepair and are home to looters and other sorts of criminals.
Because of those criminals and the danger they pose even without Pokemon, many of those remaining in Hoenn have adopted different medieval weapons as the main source of protection. It was a weird choice, but given the lack of knowledge on how to make anything else (most “modern” weaponry like guns haven't been invented) it has stuck. Your character won’t look weird carrying around a weapon, even if it is weird how they resemble Pokemon of legend and occasionally cause strange things to happen. An “evil” Team (which calls them the Adventurers Board of Finding Myths; they make themselves appear to be a group looking to preserve the history and mythologies of Hoenn) is currently making their base in Rustboro City. They want to revive the Pokemon, and are interested in the Weapons of the chosen to do that. If your character uses their Weapon’s abilities, there is a chance the Team will find out and attempt to steal the Weapon. They do have some fossil Pokemon in their possession, as well, however they do not have the technology to revive them.
Speaking of technology. Much of the technology in Hoenn -- and around the world -- has either stayed the same or declined. There have been relatively few new inventions since Pokemon went extinct, and much of the technology that was available has, for the most part, vanished.
Pokemon Centers have been replaced by Clinics. Most cities have one, though it's not wise to visit one in a Looter controlled city. A clinic's services are free, though things such as rooms to stay the night are first come first serve. Clinics will also post bounties; people looking for things but unable to get them will post ads and offer rewards, and law enforcement will put posters for wanted criminals that can be turned in for money. PokeMarts have been replaced with Markets. They carry basic medical supplies and survival supplies. Due to raids on their merchandise, their prices are set to change at any time. Most towns also have a blacksmith, who can repair Weapons if they get damaged through use. Their prices often change quite a bit depending on how damaged the Weapon is and their supplies. Looters rarely hand over money after a fight. Getting winning rewards is only common in fair sparring matches.
Cities currently overtaken by Looters: Verdanturf Town Lavaridge Town Fortree City Fallarbor Town Petalburg City
Most other Regions are fine, though Pokemon are also extinct there. The general decline of Hoenn has only begun affecting the other Regions recently, which may be a reason for characters to travel from their Region to Hoenn. While most regions, except for Jhoto, aren't experiencing any widespread problems with Looters, there has been a noted increase in crime around the world. Hoenn natives will more than likely start their journeys in either Littleroot Town, Slateport City, or Lilycove City, as these are the most populated, however they can start anywhere. Foreigners will more then likely start in Lilycove City, however Slateport City is also an option. Any character affiliated with the Adventurers Board of Finding Myths will begin in Rustboro City. Any character that is a Looter/bandit/outlaw/whatever will begin in a Looter controlled city.

Erin's Characters (FC: Lightning - Final Fantasy) Name: Anastasia Wyly Age: 21 Gender: Female Appearance: Anastasia has the trademark looks of the Wylys. The slightly longer face, the greenish hazel eyes, the defined jawline and pointed chin, even if her face is on the rounder side of the family's. She also has the typical hair -- light, with a roseish tint -- of the Wyly family, though it's honestly hard to say whether the Wyly has a common color, as if you put her, her father, and her brother together there is a clear distinction between their hair. The point is that it's recognizable. She usually wears her hair however it’s less maintenance, usually because she doesn't want to bother with it, and the combination of waves and curls is natural. She got her height -- roughly five foot five -- from her mother, it being one of the few things. Her body type leans towards athletic, which she also gets from her mother; both gain and lose muscle fairly quickly, though in Anastasia's case she mostly just gains. She's not usually worried about her body size, though, and doesn't view it as something she should work to maintain; she fluctuates from thinner to something more average depending on what she’s doing. Her skin is fairly fair, however it's of the type that tans and burns easily; it's usually more common to see her tan, but the other two aren't unheard of. Her skin is another thing she usually doesn't bother with, since burning herself is only making it so she won't in the future. Generally, her clothing style consists of durable and lasting. While she does gravitate towards certain trends -- she's really big into asymmetrical clothing and tends to gravitate towards darker colors. The only staple in her closet is a high collared jacket that, while mostly impractical because of how heavy it is, she very much enjoys the look of. She... for the most part doesn't care much about her appearance, actually. She does enjoy looking "pretty" and participating in activities in which she'd dress up nicely, however it isn't a priority for her life. Personality: Anastasia tends to be outwardly detached and distant. She treats everyone with an air of politeness, though it’s less for the express reason of being polite and more so that she can safely get away from most conversations very quickly. Her humor, or at least the only humor she tends to be good at, is dry and sarcastic and blunt; it sometimes comes off as condescending, and whenever someone points it out to her she becomes horrified because that, certainly, was not her intention. Either way, she tries to make her humor serve the purpose of keeping people out of her life, which mostly works. Her isolation is self-imposed; she has a hard time trusting that people actually want to talk to her as a person instead of her as a Wyly. She doesn’t tend to have too many friends, instead preferring to have a few that she knows well, and is varying degrees of personal with them. While she still keeps some of her politeness, her lowering whatever trust mechanisms is apparent; while she isn’t overly affectionate on the best of days, or at least casually, it’s not only apparent that she cares enough to try but that she is trying. She mostly favors tough love (she will give advice and help, but she feels uncomfortable trying to influence people to do something and so tends to be extremely honest and, more often than not, harsher than she realizes she’s being), she’s fiercely protective and loyal to people she cares about and will do all she can to help them. Her own problems, however, she deals with horribly. She often bottles up her feelings of frustration and doesn’t have much of an outlet to let it out, and thus her problems usually don’t get solved in a productive manner. She also tends to run from anything she thinks she can’t deal with or doesn’t want to deal with. History: Anastasia was born in Kalos to a rather wealthy family. It was under decline, just like everything else, and their wealth was rapidly running out, though they were still given attention by the large media in Kalos due to their former wealth and their remaining status as pseudo-celebrities. She hated it, and she's spent much time going around Kalos and ignoring her family, which she sees as the source of all the unwanted attention. She wasn't immune to the slow decline of Kalos, though, and has decided to travel to Hoenn -- where it all started -- to see if there's a way to solve it or what's causing it. Her Weapon appeared on the ship heading to Hoenn, and she kind of took that as a sign of some sort, and has been spending some time trying to clear out the bandits near Lilycove, which is how her Weapon evolved. The Weapon is getting restless, however, and she's considering traveling out further into Hoenn. Weapon Evolution Line: Noibat/Noivern Current Evolution: Noivern Typing: Flying/Dragon Abilities: Minor speed enhancement, greater control over internal body temperature (though she mostly runs warm, allowing her to survive colder weather), possibly another. Weapon Appearance: A Epee, the blade is about three feet long and thin, obviously something closer to a dueling blade than a serious weapon. However, the blade's thinness comes with the advantage of speed, and using Epees in duels has been known to cause the accidental deaths of both the opponent and the user. The speed makes it somewhat hard to control at times, obviously. The hilt is purple, however it contains some teal detailing, and the blade has just a bit of a red sheen to it. (FC: Courtney McCullough) Name: Sydney "Syd" Fukui Age: 25 Gender: Agender (They/Them pronouns)
Appearance: Tall and lanky, they don't look like much at first glance. In fact, they don't look formidable at all, especially when the lankiness is combined with their facial structure and large, dark eyes. It's something they don't like -- after all, they are the wielder of a legendary Pokemon -- but they've learned to deal and survive. In personal aesthetic choices, Syd firmly stays with shorter hair, enjoying the practicality of it. They also prefer lighter clothing, just because they have this annoying tendency to be warm all the time and they aren't a fan of that either. Syd does put in quite a large amount of effort in taking care of their skin, however. They'd been plagued by acne that would continue if they didn't keep up such a strict routine of face washing.
Personality: yeah later
Weapon Evolution Line: Xerneas Typing: Fairy Abilities: Enhanced healing (which they can sometimes use on others), can occasionally and for a limited time become faster, stronger, and harder to hit, and possibly another. However, they have noticed that metal (except for the spear) has begun to hurt on contact, and wounds caused by metal objects not only hurt more, but take much longer to heal, even with their enhanced healing ability. Weapon Appearance: A large, atypical spear, that resembles a branch or large antler; the spear isn't straight, and there are some places in which offshoots have been "cut" off it, and the tip (while still metal) was fashioned to look like it was sharpened with a knife. When not in combat use, the spear is light blue with some darker blue markings. When in combat use, however, the spear turns tan and begins giving off different colors.
