I know we all love to say "fuck mystra" this and/or Gale's Folly (subtitled: How Could You Be Such A Callous Idiot)—but really, Gale and Mystra are primarily REALLY BAD at communicating. The whole issue started when Mystra a) couldn't provide a satisfying answer to Gale's desire for more, b) Gale decided that instead of being vulnerable and working through it, he'd do a Secret Project(TM), c) Gale didn't bother telling Mystra what said project was, and/or she only vaguely warned him off it. And then Gale rolled a nat 1 on his arcana check, and then a second nat 1 for insight b/c the DM was attempting to take mercy on him and was staring at Gale and the book, worrying 4d6 under the table while not breaking eye contact and saying, very slowly, "...are you sure?"

Seeking m/m Pokemon or fantasy rp!
♕ INTRO
↳ hey all, i’m wren and i’m a 23 y/o grad student in the est time zone. i’ve been rping for over 10 years and am looking for some cool new people to plot and rp with. i’m a huge fan of chatting with and getting to know my partner — if this isn’t your cup of tea that’s all good, but i’m always open to dorking around and finding playlists for our characters if it is! i'm looking for people older than 20, as i feel more comfortable when my partner is around the same age as me! i also like writing long posts and would prefer someone who has no problem writing at least 4 paragraphs per reply. i usually reply once a day or every other day and don’t like being poked for replies, so if you’re more of a rapid fire rper we probably won’t work out.
right now i'm primarily craving a pokemon rp! i have some plots that i will list though i’m up for brainstorming as well. i’d like something in the realm or more realistic and unconventional: unusual plots, pokemon can get hurt and injured, wild pokemon are like intelligent wild animals, etc. if that sounds up your alley then read on! i'd also be open to rewriting these plots using animals or mythical creatures/beasts so if you know nothing about pokemon but are interested in the plot please message me~
♕ SIDE DISHES
↳ i'm interested in some other things besides pokemon and i'll list those here!
• adventure; anything with a band of people coming together and forming a found family, traveling together on the way to a goal with obstacles thrown in their way
• fantasy; i adore fantasy, whether it’s magical realism or all out medieval fantasy. world-building is one of my favorite things. sci-fi is great too, but i’m not great when things get too tech-y haha
• paranormal/mythical creatures; sort of goes with the fantasy, but i’m always down to rp different species in any sort of setting
• fairy tales; i love taking old fairy tales or stories and giving them a unique twist, whether it’s making them #gritty or just tossing them in a different sort of setting
• superheroes; people with superpowers using it for good or evil and coming together yesss
• romance; romance is great and i’ll discuss that below, but i prefer this to be like a sub-genre
• AUs; i love taking a fandom and making it an alternate timeline or AUing it completely. also once we have characters and a rp established, i love love love talking about AUs for our characters. i will AU everything, there is no AU too AUish for me
those are just my favorites so feel free to suggest others, but i will not do slice of life. i just find myself bogged down when there’s not a defined plot, and it doesn’t keep my interest. i also love these things if you’d be interested in tossing any of them in the rp:
• mages
• shapeshifters
• daemons [like from his dark materials]
• people with horns or wings
• pirates
• dragons
♕ MAIN COURSE
↳ okay i am hecka interested in doing a more serious pokemon rp. i’ve whipped up descriptions for some plot ideas, but i can expand on them more and i’m very up to brainstorming or altering ideas. also like i said i’m very open to replacing pokemon with daemons, animals, monsters, etc. most of these plots mention two individuals, though i’m happy to expand and play more characters.
underground
Orre has been conquered by Cipher. The region’s government are puppet leaders being controlled by Cipher’s strings, leading to the mass production of shadow pokemon. The public was deceived into thinking that pokemon ownership was unsafe and thus pokemon were banned, saved for by Cipher-affiliated trainers who put on gladiator battles for entertainment. However not all of Orre has cowed to this new leadership; a group of rebels have begun to grow, spread out between cities with their main headquarters being in the Under. They keep pokemon in secret and pass coded messages about how to free the region from Cipher — though Cipher always has their ear to the ground, and the rebellion may not be as secretive as they believe.
team cell
The Sehazi region is high in elevation, primarily mountainous with dense forests and taiga plains. Like the other regions, Sehazi has its gym leaders and champion, though its hostile conditions make it a relatively small League compared to other regions. After a large earthquake, sightings of peculiar pokemon have been seen around Sehazi — pokemon larger and more aggressive than usual, or pokemon that seem to be a mix of others. An organization called Team Cell has emerged to hunt their escaped pokemon back down, simultaneously exposing themselves to the public and making the League realize a threat has been growing beneath their nose for years. Team Cell is an expert in creating fusion and chimeric pokemon and plans to use their creations to seize dominance of the region. In addition to the League, a counterforce called Splice has emerged to fight Team Cell and rescue their pokemon, though neither group may be in the right.
guardians
Borrowing inspiration from His Dark Materials, people are born with a guardian, or a part of their soul that is represented as a ditto. As they grow older, the ditto takes permanent shape of a pokemon that represents their personality, and then will evolve as the person matures. This could be incorporated with any of the other plots, or be about individuals with guardians embarking on a typical pokemon adventure. Additionally I have a separate plot about a powerful monarchy killing the guardians of the territories they conquer and a rebellion forming in response to that and the cultural genocide.
tournament
A massive tournament has been hosted, inviting powerful trainers from many different regions. However only at the conclusion of the event it’s revealed that the tournament was actually a trial to find the strongest trainers to help carry the Colored Orbs to Mt. Pyre. Entrusting the victors with the three orbs, they set off towards Hoenn, though quickly realize that they have plenty of adversaries pursuing them, as well as the temptation that they could summon three legendary pokemon with the orbs at their fingertips.
around the world
Two rivals struck up a competition on who could sail around the world first, though when hit by a storm early on, one made the decision to save the other and they continue on their quest together with their pokemon partners. As they trek around the world, they find legends and myths yet untouched by civilization, and a temptation that tests the friendship they’ve begun to form.
time is of the essence
A modern individual has an encounter with Celebi and finds themselves forcibly thrust back into time, landing in the past where they save someone from near death. The two realize they have been brought together for a purpose as they are continuously brought to different points in time in which they arrive just at the moment to save something from certain disaster. As they try to piece together this mystery, they realize that they’re having a permanent affect on the timeline, and that there are clues of a sinister force spanning time response for wreckage.
the hunter
In a time before pokeballs, one individual makes their living by hunting wild pokemon bothering livestock and towns. They’ve earned themselves a reputation as they’ve traveled throughout the region, until they bite off more than they can chew: they’re offered a handsome reward to save a town that Darkrai has taken residence in and put to sleep. As they and their partner/benefactor/guide gather information on the town and the circumstances surrounding Darkrai’s presence, they realize this is far more than any mission they’ve tackled in the past. 
pelago
It was not just Mohn who was transported through the wormhole, but his entire research team. These individuals and pokemon became stranded on a series of islands they’ve called Pelago, and initial exploration of the nearby islands revealed fruitful trees, fertile land, a cave, and hot springs — all they needed to survive. However the longer they’re stranded, the more desperate and hopeless they become about ever returning home. That is, until some of their bottles tossed out to see have been returned with beans and odd trinkets. Two brave individuals have set off into the ocean to find out who is out there — or what.
fairy tale
↳ la belle et la bête
A wealthy or noble individual has either committed a grievous offense, or was deceived by their enemy and ultimately were transformed into a beastly pokemon. The individual fled into the wilderness and became trapped in time, slowly becoming a legend and a terror. The spell would be broken if the bells of the three regions were gathered and rang by one who loved them — but who would love a beast?
↳ hēraklēs
A young individual is looked fondly upon by one of the legendary deities, and has been protected by them throughout their life. However when they made a terrible err, their deity abandoned them, leaving them to the mercy of the court, which enlisted them with horrible tasks to complete as punishment. With their pokemon and a friend/sibling/messenger of their deity, they embark across the regions to complete these trials.
↳ die sieben raben
A father in want of a daughter promised away the lives of his seven sons in order to save the life of his infant daughter. The sons were transformed into various pokemon and scattered to the wind. Growing up, the daughter heard murmurs that she previously had brothers, and her father finally confessed so. Realizing that the curse could be broken if all siblings were together again, she set off to find her brothers and restore them to their human form again.
