Master Lt.Surge

In the cold years of the Kanto region, when war ran throughout the land, there was one name that flowed through the air like electricity.

If Red held his breath and let his eyes slide half-shut, he could almost imagine he was back home- back on Mount Silver. Surrounded by a single color and hearing only the distant sounds of wild pokemon he could not see, he felt… Comfortable. He hadn’t come to Diglett Cave to miss a place he wasn’t...

[master-lt-surge]

With crew, pokemon, and material in tow, Surge and Tucker went to work on the renovations for the cave. Upon getting close, the sounds of a pokemon battle could be heard. Concerned, Surge ordered Raichu to drop his materials, and come with him to check it out. Tucker knew to stay behind and wait for further orders.

Reaching the wide opening of the cave, a loud thud was heard deep in the cave, fearing the worst, he and Raichu charged in head first, ignoring caution to focus on helping whomever or whatever was in the cave. Running into an opening, Surge spotted a trainer and a pikachu resting on some rocks, and some digglets fleeing from the chamber. With a twitch in his eye, he runs over to confront the trainer.

"Hey kid, what do you think you're doing in here, don't you know its dangerous to just waltz into an unmarked cave and start making a ruckus?! You could have been seriously injured or worse, your pokemon could have been crushed by debris.The digglet that live here have made this cave a hazard zone and my crew and I are here to make it safe, so I suggest you either get out of our way, or get your pikachu there and start liftin lumber and clearin rock because we're on a tight schedule." He stares sternly at the trainer awaiting a response.

Learning to Fight

As a heads up, this is an OOC post from me, this person. Now, for those of you not in the chatzy room last night, you missed out let me tell ya, but I'm here now to fill you in on something important that came from it. Combat, specifically D&D style combat meaning dice rolls. It's a system that I learned last weekend and mod liked it and I like it because its relatively simple but effective. And questions or discrepancies can be sent to me and I will help you out as needed On a side note, weapon and pokemon stats will be gone over with mod later and I will update everyone once its worked out. So enough chatter, lets go.

So first things first, Initiative. This is how we find out who goes first and in what order. This is determined by a roll of a d20, or a 20 sided die for those not accustom to terms. Unless you have bonus speed or anything along those lines it goes in order of highest roll. From there combat begins. When you are able to attack, both attacker and defender roll a d20. If the attacker's roll is higher, then its a hit, if its lower, its a dodge and you can either attack again or move away. In the event the attacker rolls a nat 20, then its a guaranteed hit with some bonus effect, if the defender rolls a nat 20, then they can counter attack or do something to give them the upper hand. If the attacker rolls a nat 1, the defender can either counter attack or the person self inflicts damage or something bad happens, that's the overseer's choice.From hitting we do damage calculation. This part will be ironed out in due time but essentially you'll just roll anything from a d4 to a d12, then subtract armor or resistances as needed. The damage is then taken to your hp and your turn is over. While this looks big and confusing, it works well and is easier to understand when you're doing it. Remember, come to me with questions or general discussion on improvements, I sware I won't bite and I won't be offended. We're all one big group, so don't be shy.

I guess it’s my turn to apologize for the inactivity! I do love rping, so I try to reply when I have the time, but I’ve just started my first year of college, so things are a bit hectic right now. Plus, I’m in my university’s marching band, so lots of...

[master-lt-surge]

I swear tumblr eats asks sometimes because I really did reply ;~; I am so very sorry either way. And alas, I don't have the means to participate in traditional, on campus school so I am enrolled in online classes. Music is my muse, but it has to be on the back burner while i focus on career things.

I guess it’s my turn to apologize for the inactivity! I do love rping, so I try to reply when I have the time, but I’ve just started my first year of college, so things are a bit hectic right now. Plus, I’m in my university’s marching band, so lots of the free time I could have had is now gone. Regardless, I am also sorry for my lack of activity, and hopefully, I’ll manage to get back into the swing of things soon!

[master-lt-surge]

"Marching band, what are you, some kinda of nerd or something" He scoffs, as the camera pans only to reveal a clarinet, 2 saxophones, a piano, a violin, and a drum set. "Yea, must be a nerd alright" No but seriously, all jokes aside, I think thats awesome. If I was in traditional school I'd so be taking music classes. What instrument do you play?

[dungeonsanddragontypes-blog]

Considering an AU world is largely based off of generally accepted headcanons, I would like to propose a perhaps weekly writing prompt/ debate based event in order to establish a general ‘canon’ for the group. This would most likely involve a chatzy group live event, though post format may be...

[master-lt-surge]

I love that idea, it gives everyone a voice and an opinion and allows for steady growth in the group. I vote yes, and I don't have a particular day since I'm an online student :D ( And as for the example, I think psychics would be more closely tied with black magic, whereas grass trainers would be herbalists and white magic, allowing for rivalries)

[master-lt-surge]

(( Ooc for raisins))

Huzzah, I see reservations, I hope things go well for those in the process, I also wanted to say that I finally, after many years, went to the doctors and now have the medical process started, so once I get acclimated to my meds, and when school becomes stable and less hectic, posts will be regular (hopefully) and interesting since new people are joining.

[master-lt-surge]

Haha..ha…he…Yea, this week has been a mess. I’m almost done with my first college class to say to that. For anyone interested, and anyone applicable, until the group picks up pace and we get more people in, I will be doing some solo, story oriented posts, at which point you can hit me up if you...

[master-lt-surge]

I felt that with the posts from Red and Rosa I should reblog this, when I joined the group this was an idea I had planed on doing from the beginning. I thought it would work considering the size of the group and I still think it will. All of my posts like that will be behind read mores and are open for discussion and joining etc. That being said, I plan on continuing where my last post left off before friday, mainly because I'm going to a convention and might not be able to post. Only time will tell where things will go and I hope they go in a positive direction.

It's a brand new day

"Why not expand the tunnels and make it into a tourist attraction? People will come from far and wide to see a tunnel made by pokemon with them still living in it." He shied away after that, for all the men stared at him dumbfounded. Such a simple and great idea had eluded them.

"That's...that's brilliant Tucker!" shouted Surge in excitement, "I knew I kept you around for some reason. Now men," he says, looking at the contractors, " We need people and pokemon to dig. Some large pokemon to move rock is a good idea as well. We'll also need lumber for supports and lanterns to keep the tunnels lit. It's going to be a lot of hard work, are we ready for it?" Surge places his hand in the center of the table, right over the Crest of Vermilion. The other men place their hands on top of his, with Tuckers residing at the top. With a loud yell, they hit the table as one, and start speaking with enthusiasm before leaving the Inn and getting prepared for work.

Late night excuse to be followed by update (ooc)

Haha..ha...he...Yea, this week has been a mess. I'm almost done with my first college class to say to that. For anyone interested, and anyone applicable, until the group picks up pace and we get more people in, I will be doing some solo, story oriented posts, at which point you can hit me up if you want to join in or anything. Its my hope that it'll spark (get it, spark, cuz I'm surge) some good interactions between us all. Anyways, good night to everyone who's still up, and good morning to everyone who see's this when they wake up!

[master-lt-surge]

(Ooc) Reason for the delay and explanation.

Ok so I've had a bit of a delay. For anyone who's noticed, I've been doing a bit of a solo thing since the group is still small and as a means to make progress and build some on how I see things as in the universe of the we play in. I have 2 basic arc's planned for my solo story with some special things as well. Expect an update and continuation possibly later today, but more likely tomorrow or even Saturday. 

[master-lt-surge]

Collapsing into bed, Surge let out a large sigh as today proved fruitless in fixing the cave. Even after ideas not from him alone, but from the townsfolk as well , nothing fit. 

'Maybe a good nights rest will do me some good.' He thought, blowing out the candle next to his bed and surrounding him in darkness. Next to him he could hear the quite sounds of Raichu sleeping. The other pokemon were safely sleeping in the back room of the still under renovation gym. With that knowledge in mind, Surge gave one big yawn before relaxing into sleep.

[master-lt-surge]

The past few days have been hectic. With news of a new ship arriving, Surge has been rushing to get things in order around the town. The Harbor has been fixed up nicer then usual, banners are now strung across the arch's, the lamps polished, and new benches for visitors. Everything was coming together, except the cave. Not far from port was the pokemon habitat and it was an eyesore. Big rocks lay everywhere, dirt and dust scattered, and holes from the digglet made the area look destroyed.

'What to do' Surge thought, sitting at the lunchen table at the inn. There weren't that many ways to tackle the problem at hand and Surge didn't have much time to figure it out. The ship was arriving any day now and he needed to take action. Slamming his fists down on the table, Surge stands up with a grunt and walks out to the cave.

[master-lt-surge]

The sun shone brightly over Vermilion this morning, its light glittering off the surface of the sea, it was truly a sight to see. Surge stepped out of the gym and stretched in the warm light.

"Aah, what a glorious day, don't you agree Sir Tucker?" Tucker was walking out of his quarters with a yawn.  "Quite so sir, tis a lovely day." Tucker walked over to Surge and looked out to the town. "What does our regime look forward to today sir?"

"Hmm, I haven't thought quite that far yet. I plan on doing my exercises around the town and decided after, care to join me?" Surge looked over with anticipation in his eyes.

"Of course sir, I'd be honored." Tucker said with a smile. It wasn't long lasting however, with a hearty slap on the back, Surge let out a laugh, then a shout.

"Let get moving then!" He said, before sprinting off down the coast. With the wind knocked out of him, Tucker wheezed as he attempted to catch back up. Taking in his surroundings, Surge made a mental checklist of things to work on. ' That habitat of ground pokemon needs to have further inspection done, I need workers for that. The harbor needs cleaning, as does the gym and town square.' Surge stopped outside the one of the shops when he heard two women talking about a ship. Turns out, a new group of settlers were coming from the America's and their ship was arriving in port in a weeks time. Taken aback, Surge rushed off to where Tucker had rested to address this matter with him.

[master-lt-surge]

(Last Ooc for a bit)

Aaaaaaah! I got accepted. This made my day. Expect a New Dawn tomorrow morning. (that's a pun, if anyone gets it, kudo's, you get a brownie point with me.) Can't wait to chat with everyone. :D

[master-lt-surge]

(Ooc)

So, my reservation period is up and I have no clue as to whether or not I was accepted. I really want to start posting but I'm hesitant because if I'm not accepted, then I need to figure out what to do from here so I'm kinda stuck...Hopefully (pray to god) I hear from someone soon and can get the ball rolling appropriately, until then, bleh x.x

Introduction

Hey there little boys and girls listen up! I'm Lt.Surge, leader of the Vermilion City Gym. Let me tell you a little bit about me and my city. In the early days of war, I was a menace. Every single man in every platoon knew of the horror that was Surge. My electric Pokemon and I were renown for shocking our opponents into submission. Since the last war, I took leadership in the Vermilion Gym. This little harbor town needed a new light, and I was the one to bring it. Thanks to me and my team this town is now a major port, the largest in kanto! Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my gym.
