To be honest, Ilona was inspired by Esmeralda from Disney's version of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, lol. So I tried to give this gypsy vibe (which, by the way, it looks like I succeeded since I was curious and looked into her surname ), so naturally I chose Romania.

I actually had to YouTube what a Romanian accent sounds like in English, so no worries. It sounds really similar to a Russian accent, but it's a little different.

Anyways, I'm going to be honest and say I'm going to take my time to edit my profile for the additional question. I mean, what?

*goes back to hibernation*

I see. Okay, so imagine a Russian accent, just not as prominent. Got it.

Uh I'm off the grid for about a week so...yeah

Should we introduce you as a Theta? That way, you can take the next few weeks off. You'll be the first or second one they encounter, then.

Yup

@Robusto, if I don't hear from you before Saturday, Psyche will be made a Theta too. Please hurry with that character profile. I have all the positions sorted, save for hers and Ariadne's.

@AstralHunter I'll have my character profile/template by Saturday as well, normally. Sorry for bein' so late - hopefully though, I won't start out as a Theta.

Same

Terribly sorry for the absence, @Astralhunter. So much going on in my life lately. Family illnesses...
But I shall do whatever is best! So whatever this Theta is, I suppose I shall be it! But I will have my character profile up soon.

Yay! @Tortwag, @15253 @StupidSoup (still not used to that), and @Robusto, I shall give you extension until Saturday (Saturday is included), then.

Just to recap(itulate), "Theta" is the term Hekate will be using instead of "Pokémon". It will also be used to refer to the Pokémon as you encounter them. Here is an example for encountering the Gyarados:
1. If Gyarados is the fiftieth Pokémon encountered, they will be known as Theta Fifty at first.
2. If they receive a proper codename (such as Scylla), they will only be known by that from that point forward, and if they don't, they can't be converted to join you.
3. If the Gyarados rampages but isn't important enough to receive a codename, it will be given a codename to reflect its ranking in relation to the rampaging Pokémon/Thetas before it, such as Gamma Thirty-One.
4. If the Gyarados doesn't rampage but wants to live peacefully, its codename is assigned in the same manner as if it were rampaging, such as Beta Nineteen.

Therefore, you want to avoid being introduced as a Theta, because that means you were convinced to join and are less likely to be assigned your own team. (That will happen, and you will be able to control NPCs and stuff.) So yeah, starting as an Alpha (Alpha = Allied Theta) is preferable.

Also, why has nobody claimed Polyphontes? The poor codename must be feeling rejected just about now.

PS: Robusto, I hope all goes well with your family and that the ill individual/s recover soon.

Well then, given the opportunity available, and what could become of it, I'll claim Polyphontes. Can I have him as somebody who was formerly a Pidgeot? <.<

@TheSilverFox is online! I see you online so often, yet I never get the opportunity to speak to you because you people make yourselves scarce in IM. Thus, come find me, and we shall discuss it.

Okay so I might be getting in over my head, but if there are superhero costumes, can I design them?

I guess I never thought of that. Sure, you may go ahead, @Buggiedude2340. I don't have any ideas, so you can do whatever you like. I can PM you a full list of all the recurring characters, if that would make your job more convenient.

Also, the deadline for the challenge has been extended by another week, so needn't stress about that, @TheSilverFox.

...huh. I alredy have my costume in mind, personally, but that's a great idea!
