NOTE: This is a Discord RP! Please do not sign up if you do not have a Discord handle!

Premise: You, a Pokemon trainer, have just been washed up on the shores of the Shrouded Island, a famous mythical island. But it’s not so mythical now, you’ll find, because you’re standing on it, colorless sand slipping into your shoes and a sprawling, gloomy forest looming ominously ahead.
What will you do now?
Will you set off on your own and risk the terrifyingly strong wild life?
Will you stay on the beach and try to find a way home?
Or will you band together with the other trainers stranded here?

Setting: The Shrouded Island is said to be a island in the middle of the sea, obscured by a thick mist. Those who land on its shores never return. But it is a myth.
The actual island is surrounded by cliffs except one, small shore where you were lucky enough to wind up instead of dead against the rocky cliffs. And except for that small stretch of beach, everything else is forest. There is no sunlight, everything murky and lit by strange, glowing lights and Pokemon.
The berries here are foreign. Some of them are toxic, strong enough to poison with a single bite, while some are delicious and safe to eat.
But the biggest danger here is the Pokemon, all vicious and much more powerful than a normal one. None will see reason, driven by some strange force. The deeper you go into the forest, the stronger they get. Perhaps it is this force’s influence.
There are five layers to the forest: the Outskirts. The Pokemon here are ranged level 1 to 20, though you should never underestimate them. Pokemon here are much stronger than normal Pokemon. Layer 2 is slightly deeper than the Outskirts, and Pokemon leveled 21-40 can be found here. Layer 3 is much darker than Layer 2, and a strange oppressive air can be sensed. Pokemon level 41-60 are found here. Layer 4 is inhabited by Pokemon leveled 61-80 here, and it seems to be… brighter than even the Outskirts, but it’s very artificial.
And Core, the innermost layer, inhabited by Pokemon level 81-100. Of course, there’s not much information on it…

Battle Mechanics: This RP will be heavy on battling, which is why I have implemented an RPBot to be fair. Here is how it will work.
Your character will attack, and you look at the accuracy stat of the attack, or just guesstimate it. If it’s higher than 70, if you roll a 5 or higher, your attack lands. If it rolls lower, it misses. If your accuracy is lower than 70, you have to roll a 10 or higher, the exception being the OHKO attacks--you have to roll a solid 20 to get it.
If you’re fighting an NPC, specifically the wild Pokemon, the Pokemon’s attack, sp. Attack, defense, and sp. Defense stats will be raised by 50%. Accuracy is lowered: the NPC has to roll a 10 or higher for an attack of 70 or more accuracy to land and a 15 or higher for lower than 70.
To decide how much damage an attack that lands does to a Pokemon, you have to look at the base stats of the two Pokemon + levels. (This can be found on Bulbapedia.) Generally speaking, if your Pokemon has an attack of 20 or lower, the dice does not change. If your Pokemon has an attack of 21-100, you get to add +20% damage to your attack. For 101-200, you get to add +40% damage to your attack. For 201-300, you get to add +60% damage to your attack. For 301-400, add +80%. For 401+, 2x damage.
The same applies for sp. atk, sp. def, and defense.
This does not mean you can’t be creative with attacks! If you need help with this, I can always be of assistance!
It's not actually that complicated, it's literally just rolling a dice to see if your attack hits, and to see if it does any damage.

If the crazy Battle Mechanics haven’t scared you off yet, I’ll get into the
Rules:
1: Please be respectful OOC. No bigotry or discrimination of any kind is permissible. In character, however, I’m fine with it.
2: This RP takes place over Discord, the link to which will be provided at the bottom of the document/forum. As it is over Discord, it is rated T+, which means swearing and inappropriate humor is allowed, but ONLY in the Discord chat.
3: Any and all levels of roleplayers are allowed.
4: You may have as many characters as you can keep up with. Please try and keep the genders even between male and female. Agender/Nonbinary/etc. characters do not factor.
5: Do not have over-powered or Mary Sue characters. If I find your character falls under that category, I will point it out to you and ask you to change them a bit. In a similar vein, young trainers will naturally have weaker Pokemon than older, more experienced trainers. If your character is only 14, please don’t give them a level 60 Charizard without any issues.
6: To keep it fair, Mega Pokemon and Shiny Pokemon are not allowed in this RP.
7: You can post the form either in a google doc and send it to me or just post it in the thread.
8: If you would like anything clarified, I would be more than happy to do so.

Discord Handle: kyasuu#2099
Name: Sorrel Carbonell
Gender/Pronouns: Male/He/Him
Age: 21
Sexuality/Preference: He likes dudes.
Personality: In short: Sorrel is lazy, unmotivated, bitter, too smart for his own good, scathing, and has a morbid sense of humor.
The longer version is pretty much that he’s lazy because he’s unmotivated; he has no reason to do anything anymore. His sense of humor is pretty callous and he can come off as insensitive; although it seems like he might not care if his words affect others, he has a horrid guilt complex and if someone shows signs of being effected negatively by his words he doesn’t apologize, but he does stew in guilt for a while and try to make it up to them. Sorrel’s also a genius, but he and everyone around him all agree it’s wasted talent on him, since he doesn’t have the motivation to do anything, which is the main reason why he dropped out of college.
Nothing really seems to effect him, but it’s mostly just him acting aloof because it’s how he learned to survive. Whenever he feels like someone’s trying to insult him, he bites back extremely harshly, though it’s a bit difficult to figure that out since most of what comes out of his mouth is an insult anyways. Sorrel, despite getting defensive over certain things, never really denies anything anybody has to say about him, since he figures if they see it, it’s gotta be at least a little true.
He doesn’t actually like humans very much, and they don’t like him in return, but Sorrel loves Pokemon, and Pokemon tend to like him in return. Since they don’t talk, and they can’t understand a word of what Sorrel says, he has infinite patience for them.
Sorrel is actually lowkey terrified of children despite them seeming to love him. He’s too scared of accidentally saying something wrong or hurting them, so he tends to avoid kids, though he’ll never say no to one.

Name: Camellia Zhang
Gender/Pronouns: Demifemale, she/her/they/them
Age: 17
Sexuality/Preference: Biromantic
Personality: Camellia is mostly closed off, prefering the company of animals and inanimate objects over humans. She loves books, and will get lost in one, oftentimes missing what others may say to her. In social situations, she can sound incredibly stiff as her mother had drilled manners into her and she resorts to them as she's socially awkward. Another thing is that she's not fond of physical contact at all, but shockingly if she's comfortable with you, she'll seek hugs and headpats from you, albeit shyly.

Name: Evelyn Winters
Gender/Pronouns: Female/She/Her
Age: 18
Sexuality/Preference: Pan!
Personality: evelyn is a sweet girl, cheerful and energetic, but a little airheaded at times. she's impulsive and rushes into things, which is really something that her parents find endlessly endearing and sometimes irritating due to her bad health, which has led to a lot of scares in the past. she can be forgetful at times, but never on purpose.
despite this, she's actually fairly perceptive when it comes to people, and is freakily good at reading people. she tries her best to lighten the mood whenever possible, and (often to the detriment of her own health) downplays her own issues to avoid bringing it down.
Appearance:
Pokemon Team: Ampharos [Oswald/Oz, ♂, 45], Honchkrow [Gilbert, ♂, 42], Delcatty [Sharon, ♀, 41], Gardevoir [Xerxes, ♂, 47], Tyrannitar [Lacie, ♀, 40]

Name: Kei Takahashi
Gender/Pronouns: Male/He/Him
Age: 18
Sexuality/Preference: He's demisexual
Personality: Kei is, uh, broody. Kinda antisocial. He isn't fond of physical contact with others, and doesn't usually go out of his way to talk to others, and thus can come off as rude. He's actually pretty headstrong and short-tempered, and very, very impulsive; his brother usually had to restrain him from being an idiot. Despite being incredibly temperamental he can be thoughtful sometimes. Emphasis on sometimes, because usually he's so emotionally/socially constipated he offends people by accident, so it takes another kind of patience to deal with him. Despite this, he actually has a sense of humor, though it only comes out to play occasionally.

Gender/Pronouns: Male, he/him/his
Age: 23
Sexuality/Preference: Pancake
Personality: Mark is a very hard-working individual. His diligent manner is one of his most noticeable traits, along with being a very open-minded person as well as being mature. Mark has a bad habit of consuming himself in his work, though. He never knows when to take a break and the whole ordeal can leave him stressed and irritable. Despite all this when it comes to interacting with other people he’s quite unorthodox, and never really knows what to do around new faces. He’s not really shy per se, but socially inept.

Name: Cyraeneus "Cyra" Joseph Foran
Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/Him
Age: 22
Sexuality/Preference: Homoromantic Homosexual
Personality: Cryaeneus is, for the most part, and very caring and compassionate young man that loves making sure everyone around him is always happy and cheerful even when he himself isn't. Though, most can't actually tell that he isn't also as happy as he is trying to make them, since almost always he has a smile plastered on his face and is ready to laugh whenever. Deep down below the mask he puts on, Cyra is actually pretty depressed and shy, and doesn't open up to very many people. There's only a select few that know about this, and even they don't truly know the extent of his depression. Despite all of this, he keeps up that mask, since he doesn't want anyone else to feel the depression that he does, doesn't want anyone else dragging their way through life with hurt and regret dragging down their very being.

Name: Lance Lucas Marcenick
Gender/Pronouns: Male - He/Him
Age: 19
Sexuality/Preference: Bi and ready to fly
Personality: Lance is, all things accounted for, a giant lovable mess of a human being. He's super excitable, absolutely thrilled with exploring new places and learning new things, and loves making new friends. There will pretty much never be a time when he won't open up to a new person with something akin to flirting, but once he's shut down at least once he probably won't anymore. Unless you becoming his friend. Then you're stuck with him platonically flirting with you at every chance he gets so that he can try out his 'great new pick up lines'. If you're not already at this stage with him, than flirting in response to him is something that is pretty much unheard of. He can't handle it, and there's a 50-50 chance that after he freezes up from the initial shock, he'll either shakily try to flirt more or something, or he'll bolt. He's not used to it at all and it would just freak him out. He loves learning random facts and then trying to bring them up in his flirtations, such as random butterfly facts. Because yes, he's a butterfly nerd. This child is also a huge meme lover, so be prepared for him using memes as well.

Name: Ylva Krupin
Gender/Pronouns: Female - She/Her
Age: 20
Sexuality/Preference: Demiromantic Pansexual
Personality: Ylva, despite the issue of being mute, is very upbeat and loud in her own ways. She is always willing to try and make conversation with pretty much anyone she can, and doesn't really take insults personally, or view people walking away from her as a bad thing. After all, if they're not willing to at least try to understand her and get along, why bother trying to convince them to? There's no point to it, which is also why she gets rather protective and almost clingy in a sense to those that do end up putting in that effort to talk with her, to get to know her. It means the world to her, really. Though, with all this in mind let's reflect on the protective thing. Ylva gets very defensive over those she cares about to a point where she will literally snarl at those who try to harm them. She likes making sure everyone she cares for is happy and uninjured, though when they do get injured she does her best to stay calm, but she is a bit short tempered, and so she might just throw herself into battle as well to protect her teammates.

Name: Andromeda "Andy" Vanja Østberg
Gender/Pronouns: Agender - They/Them
Age: 18
Sexuality/Preference: Quiromantic Pansexual
Personality: Andy is a bit of a mess, to say the least. They tend to try and stay neutral, but they have such a short temper, the fuse to set them off it practically nonexistent. They'll blow up, a lot of the time, at minuscule things that really don't hold any meaning, but whatever. Andy has also never been very good at working with others, which is an obstacle that they need to learn to climb over if they expect to make it out of this game in one piece, what with their temper and all. They'd run head first into a fight with no regrets and would probably end up dying if they didn't have someone to watch their back most of the time. Yeah, they're that person.
All of this in mind, when Andy isn't in a bad mood, they're actually a pretty great person to be around. Andy cares a lot about what people think, and tends to want to make friends, it's just that they're socially inept and not really sure how to do anything that doesn't involve a fight.

Alright, let me know when you're done @keef, @bookaholic, @toma

If you'd like you can join the discord right now so you can keep up with the RP, as it just started, but that's optional.

@woopers

I’ll probably be done soon, I’m writing the personality and currently brainstorming different appearance ideas
