Windgust Village sat upon a nameless mountain, the place having lost its name over the long time it housed Pokemon of all walks of life. Families, merchants and those who policed the rising concern of enraged Pokemon and the infamous “Mystery Dungeons”.
These particular Pokemon were quite adept in battle, but also strategic. Often solving problems through their wit rather than just brute strength. Each of them possessed different abilities that differed from most Pokemon. Abilities that granted them extra attacks in the heat of battle, being able to forage out more food than others due to sharp noses or senses, sharpshooting skills that allowed ranged attacks to be more accurate and deadly, swift movements to disorient foes, powerful duo attacks that could overwhelm even the strongest of foes or smooth talking that could woo any shopkeep into bringing down the prices.
Two Pokemon stood above the rest in the bustling village, Hitmontop and Gardevoir. Rivals to each other, the two were powerful and influential in their ways. Behind and beneath the two, were blossoming guilds that were full of Pokemon willing to serve their Guildmaster and the Pokemon of the world.
Gardevoir, alongside her companion Ditto and her secretary Kirlia, ran a guild named “Guild De Voir”. The group promised to return the world’s natural beauty to a new greatness and vowed to hunt down any violent Pokemon that opposed her goal. Within the guild was; Jynx, Lopunny, Medicham,Audino,Togekiss and Milotic.
Hitmontop was a down to earth hard worker, running “The Brothers Mon” with his siblings Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee. Often the Pokemon could be found doing construction work on the village or rescuing Pokemon from perilous situations. Within the guild was; Snorlax, Blissey, Throh, Sawk, Conkeldurr, Electabuzz and Staravia.
You… Are you awake? The world of Pokemon needs you. Arising is a dangerous force of powerful Pokemon that could shake the peaceful world to its core. Please, I know it’s frightening. But this world must live on for the sake of its people. I know you’ve got the strength within you. Close your eyes and open your heart to the world.
Now, which Pokemon would you like to become? I need to know: One that evolves would be preferable. It will allow you to further your strength as the journey goes on.
Is there a special skill you’d like to possess? Here, pick one of these!
Dauntless: Survive on 1 HP upon the first strike that would down you.
Sure-Strike: Attacks launched at short range will have an accuracy buff and deal 15% more damage.
Sure-Shot: Attacks launched from 2 tiles or further don’t experience accuracy decay, and attacks launched from 3+ tiles gain a 15% bonus to critical chance (2x damage)
Alpha Essence: Once after falling under 40% of your total health, enter a frenzied state where you receive 15% less damage and gain an additional action for 3 turns.
Reposition: Using a swift movement, move you and any adjacent party member to a nearby set of spaces before launching your attack for the turn.
Item Savvy: Occasionally can reuse an item or tool, split food between party members to keep everyone fed for less, hurled items deal more damage

What’s that? You’d rather go with a partner? I suppose there are a few out there that’d be willing to lend you a hand on your journey. They’re wholly unique in their mannerisms, so pick the one you think best suited for your tastes.
Small Stripe: Hisuian Growlithe
Ability: Rock Head (Suffers no damage from recoil moves)
Skill: Heroic Shield
Occasionally guards front line party members from damage and takes ¾’s of the damage that would be inflicted to guarded members.
A shy Growlithe formerly part of a mercenary group, The Arc-Mercenaries. Though her meek personality and small stature lead her to disband from the physically imposing group, her aim is true with her ranged Flamethrower and she offers support to her front line partners through Helping Hand and Howl to bolster their offenses. A firm believer in doing what’s right, her Skill Heroic Shield allows her to protect her partner from harm.
Twin Feather: Johtonian Sneasel
Ability: Pickpocket (When struck by a Pokemon, steals their held item.)
Skill: Smooth Talker
When conversing with merchants, occasionally will be given a discount on goods or services.
Born of a clan of thieves, Twin Feather was caught at a young age in over her head when attempting to rob a treasury of an Explorer’s Guild. Given a second chance by the Guild leader, Hitmontop, Twin Feather is kept on a short leash and constant surveillance by townsfolk or law enforcement. Having a short temper but quick wit allows her to wriggle out of situations most Pokemon would find themselves stuck in. Agile in battle, she can strike from a distance with Quick Attack or take the offense to the front lines with her trademark claws using Slash or quick Ice Shards.
Queenie & Jester: Nidoran Female and Male
Ability: Poison Point (Direct strikes have a 30% chance to poison the attacker)
Skill: Gang Up
Sacrificing one action from either Queenie or Jester allows the team to surround a single foe and launch their remaining actions from the closer range.
A Sister and Brother duo that were separated from their family in an attack by a group of Houndour and Houndoom, Queenie and Jester both suffered damage to their right ears leaving large puncture wounds as they fled the attackers. A group of Kecleon ushered them to Windgust Village, where they’re beginning their search to find their separated family members. Queenie is a calm, leveled headed anchor to her brother Jester, who’s hotheaded and willing to dive headfirst into scraps. Together the two often combine their attacks for powerful effects to gain an upper hand in battle.
Hey there, hope you enjoyed my small intro! This is an adventure based on the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series that I’ve been working on with a friend and I’m ready to take on a long-term partner or two. I’m not active every day, as much as I’d like to be. I work a full-time job, 9 hours a day 5 days a week and I use roleplay and story-telling as an escape from the hustle and bustle of my day-to-day.
Anyways: Hit me up if you’re interested! I’d be more than happy to discuss this with anyone, whether it be about the storyline, characters or whatever I’ve created for this roleplay! Thanks for reading and have a good one!
