[//Unreality tw// New to pkmn irl/rotomblr] ,18+, He/Him, Just accepted into a Ranger Cadet program at Uni

(periodic updates may be made to this post)

Hello Rotomblr!

My name is Lethe! I'm 22 and currently studying to be a Pokemon Ranger. I used to work for my dad but after a lot of contemplation I decided it was time for a career change and to live for myself.

Currently in Goldenrod City, Johto, studying to be a Ranger.

[ ⚠️ Warning ⚠️ I do plan to broach the topics of animal abuse/neglect. Roleplaying as a ranger will involve rehabbing abandoned/abused pokemon so feel free to mute/block my account if these topics are triggering for you.]

I discovered my love for pokemon after rescuing a Shiny Umbreon and her 2 babies from a breeding mill. They are currently with me also in training to become certified Partner Pokemon.

I traveled a lot as a kid, never staying in one place for very long. My goal is to become an Area Ranger and buy a large ranch property for all my current and future pokemon.

Got accepted to a Ranger Cadet Program, but the housing paperwork for a lot of students got screwed up this year apparently so I'm stuck sharing a room with my very grumpy nerd roommate who doesn't like pokemon. Wish me luck because I'm going to need it lmao.

Current Pokemon:

(I had a music phase when I named my Eeveelutions no bully plz.)

Crescendo ♀ : A shiny Umbreon, came from a shiny breeding mill, mother of my other two Eeveelutions, Alto and Gibson. She's very guarded around new people, always vigilant, but cares deeply for her children and other pokemon, especially younger ones. Currently training to be a certified Ranger Partner Pokemon.

Alto ♂ : An Espeon. He takes after his mother a lot, though he is more sociable than her. He's a bit of a clean freak, he enjoys his spa days where he gets to have a warm bath filled with bubbles. Currently training to be a certified Ranger Partner Pokemon.

Gibson ♂ : My very silly man. He's a Leafeon. He evolved by running face first into a mossy rock. He's very outgoing and lovable. Unlike Alto, he enjoys making a mess and rolling around in the mud and hates baths. Crescendo makes him take them. Currently training to be a certified Ranger Partner Pokemon.

After a few months of on and off work, I present to you a new and updated

Pokemon World Map

I have gathered (almost) every single Region and Town ever featured or mentioned on the main series games, side games, anime, manga, TCG and even scrapped content!

Click here to see the original!

I took some creative liberties, like using the Beta maps for Pasio and Southern Kalos, placing ambiguously located anime towns where I thought they fit best, reorganizing the scrapped Space World demo cities, and most importantly, assuming Ransei is the Pokemon equivalent of Japan, when it is not in canon. But otherwise I tried to be as faithful as possible.

You are free to ask about any choices made!You are also free to use these maps however you see fit as long as you keep my signature and you credit me. (If you make another map based on this one, credit would be nice, but it isn’t strictly necessary)

Hope this is a useful resource or that at least you have fun looking at it!

Ooc

Returns to this blog after 2 years like nothing happened. Basically had a lot of big life stuff happen and forgot I made this blog til recently. Was a chaotic mess. Things are calmer now. For the story of the blog I’m just gonna pick up where I left off

[xalatath]

IMPORTANT

[umbreon-ranger]

One of these days I’ll graduate and live out my dreams of having a centiskorch.

[bait-and-volt-switch]

What happens when a doduo loses its head?

whole pokemon dies

half pokemon becomes paralysed

it's fine

secret fourth option (leave in comments/tags)

Voting ended on11h

[umbreon-ranger]

I put the 4th option because think it depends on if we’re talking wild or captive. Without any sort of medical intervention it dies quickly. With medical intervention theoretically it could, but i think it would result in partial paralysis, mobility issues, cognitive impairments, and potential organ damage with one of the brains missing. After a certain point I think not allowing it to pass would be more cruel than allowing them to cross the rainbow bridge.

//Ooc very serious wip.

Asks in progress

//OOC Ask Game for Character Building

This ask game is intended to help you figure out the basic three pillars of character building - who are they, what do they want, what are they like? You can treat it like a traditional ask game and have people send in questions/send some to yourself, or you can just use it as a reference to help figure out who your character is. Knowing your character's situation, goals, and personality is also going to help you figure out how to start like, 99% of IC interactions. And while it is great to have this stuff figured out before you make a blog, I know a lot of us (myself included) tend to make things on a whim and then figure the details out as you go. This is intended to help you out with that! So without further rambling;

Situation

What are they? Human, hybrid, or other?

If you asked them 'what are you' what would they say?

How did they come to be whatever they are? If they're a hybrid, how? If not, how were they raised?

Where do they live? In the city, country, or suburbs? What kind of house/apartment is it?

Why are they there? Did they move there intentionally, have they always been there, or were they placed there by some external force?

Do they have any sort of connection with their community?

What do they do all day? Do they have responsibilities, hobbies, or habits?

If you have multiple muses on the same blog, why do they share a blog? The in character reason, not the reason that suits you ooc.

Goals

What do they want?

Why do they want it?

How are they trying to get it?

What's standing in their way to get it right now? (this one is important! Conflict drives story and all that)

What are they willing to do to get what they want? What are they not willing to do?

Personality

What are they like? Energetic, lethargic, sarcastic, mean, happy, mischievous, etc.

What made them like this? Is there a piece from their situation or background that contributed to their general personality, or are they just Like That innately?

Strengths and weaknesses is a reductive way to look at traits. Name some traits that help them in some situations but hinder them in other (i.e. being stubborn/willful, intelligent/too cerebral, relaxed/weak willed, etc)

Do they have any quirks? Either in their blogging style or their general demeanor.

Does their inner sense of self match what they project on the outside?

Once you have the three areas above figured out, you can base your interactions on how the blog your interacting with intersects with one of the above. Are they in a similar situation? Further along in a similar goal? A roadblock to their goal maybe? Is their personality the same or opposite to yours? And so on. Keeping intentionality in your interactions and the above three pillars in mind will help you figure out how to talk to people while building a unique and interesting character that people will actually want to talk back to.

As always, if using this as an ask game, send 1-2 questions to the person you reblogged this from. Ask game karma and all that.

He likes going into warm places, be that sitting near the fire place or hanging out in the oven or on top of the stove. If interested in adopting him, reblog this post with your qualifications and reasons why.

[umbreon-ranger]

Had a pretty cool class today. They had us partner with an operator to do a city wide scavenger hunt with the operator guiding us.

The operators were given vague directions and landmarks and we basically had to work together to find each checkpoint. Not every group was given the same directions and they were all scrambled that you had to find them each in a certain order to have it count, this way you couldn't just follow someone else around and mooch off them.

It's a pretty cool exercise though I almost had an incident where I walked into a part of the radio tower I wasn't allowed into lmao.

[umbreon-ranger]

Ooc thank you post and update

A quick thank you to everyone who followed this in such a short time! I'm new to this community and I like it a lot so far!

I have 2 asks in my box yet to be answered because I have ideas for drawings to go with them. I'm back in college now so it may take a bit before I finish them. I will definitely answer them when I get around to doing the art.

Speaking of art this blog has been nice for getting me back into drawing. It's been a while since I've drawn consistently and this blog is a fun way of getting back into it.

Thanks again everyone!

EEVEE MAIL!

To celebrate our Eevee ask game hitting nearly 80 reblogs (and because the Yo-Kai Watch one flopped harder than the ET Videogame), we are releasing our first Pokémail program!

For the next week (that is until September 9th 2024, midnight GMT), anyone who reblogs this post will recieve a random Mystery Gift package that's in some way related to Eevee or one of its evolutions!

The item can be literally anything, as long as it's related to Eevee or one of the Eeveelutions.

[umbreon-ranger]

After sharing that old photo I thought I'd share a happier more recent photo of us out on a walk. Left the boys at home since it's been a while since I went out with just her.

She likes to perch on my shoulders.
