Reminiscence DT

The Inota Region

A Pokemon SB created by Carina and Omni.
Only minimum knowledge of Pokemon is required to join.

You are sitting at home. It's a hot summer day, and nothing is happening, but you know the mail is coming today. You have a feeling it is coming. Every hair on your body is standing up on end, and you can just feel the excitement boil in your heart, because any minute
now—

Your parents just walked in with the mail. Like lightning you dash to see if anything is for you. They've left it on the counter, not even bothering to look through it. Your hand stretches for it, and now you're leafing through that pile of mail. Bill. Bill. Bill. Letter. Bi— WAIT! WAS THAT IT?! You come back to the letter. It's addressed to... you. Looking at the return address, you see the words:

Inota Region

Like lightning, you rip open the envelope and scan the letter’s contents.

Dear [name],

The magnificent world of Pokémon... a seemingly endless dream of adventure and fun. Filled with bonds of companionship between Pokémon and humans, living side-by-side one another. Together, we make the world a better place, for—

BORING. Your eyes skip down the page, until you read—

Upon reading your application, you are invited to partake in the year-long C.A.M.P. located in the Inota Region.

You cannot believe your eyes. Excitedly, you skim through the rest of the letter quickly—

… learn how to become a trainer for no cost ... unearth your gifted potential ... Pokémon species from all of the regions … I have attached a map along with brochures that contains everything you need to know ... we urge you get to know your fellow campers … you have three days to prepare … once again, I congratulate you ...

Sincerely,

Chairman of C.A.M.P.

Immediately you run to your room and start packing like crazy, waking your starter up. The ferry arrives in three days, and you are about to open the door to a new life. For years you have been forced to stay in your hometown, and you could only dream of becoming a trainer and travelling the world.

Not anymore.

Your dream has begun...
At least, you think it has.
After all, this is just a relaxing program to kickstart your training career…

...right?

....

"... the pawns—"

[indecipherable]

"the move—"

[white noise]

"...has begun."

Rules

Spoiler! :

- Follow YWS and Storybook Rules. They are there for a reason. If you don't follow them, we gonna have some problems.

- The SB Rating is 16+ for a reason. This is an SB full of hormonal teenage characters, after all. This means all types of cursing is allowed, except on the first paragraph. Be mindful of the front page. Mature themes are allowed as well, however, they should never be detailed or explicit.

- Only control your own character. On character interactions, please roleplay the scenes out with the other writers. If your character is named Bill and mine is Jane, I would not be allowed to write Bill's reactions to Jane's heart attack. The only excption to this rule is if it is a small or minor scene. This allows us to learn each other's characters better.

- Please stay dedicated. I know, we all have lives. I know how frustrating it is to have a huge pile of homework due tomorrow, but everyone is expecting an SB post. But if we're still willing to put up this SB and manage over it, we expect you to do the same.

- Communication is key. Don't expect to join this SB and never use the DT thread. It is there to discuss, talk, and develop plots. In addition, a group Skype will be made, and it is expected for you to use it to your advantage. This system will make it very easy to plot and work powerplay situations out.

- This is an application-only SB, and your reservation must be the character template. We will only seek out the most realistic, wanted, and unique characters that will make this SB enjoyable for all, and understand that some characters may not be accepted. Please be professional about the application process, and understand that there will not be any bias involved. However, please also note that the quality of your application is important as well. But if you treat your application like a serious school assignment, then the determining factor is your character. You can reserve a spot in the Storybook, but anything beyond that (like reserving your starter) will be done by a first-come, first serve character templates that make it through.

- God-modding or Gary/Mary Sues will not make it through. We will read your character template, and we have been through enough storybooks to know what these characters look like. If, at any point in time before or during the storybook that your character exhibit the traits of God-mod or Gary/Mary Sue, we'll talk, then if it continues, we will remove your character from the storybook in deadly ways.

Guidelines

Spoiler! :

The profile template is in the form of a survey. Answer each question as if your character is 100% honestly answering them, and keep the answers on the short side. (No huge paragraphs!) Also, to make these profiles pretty and easy to read, you will have to pick one color (no bright or unreadable colors) that represents your character. Find and replace "PICKCOLOR" with whatever color you choose by using Microsoft Word or this program. Feel free to ask for help if any problems arise.

Also, do not upload any picture whatsoever for your character's appearance. Appearances get funky in an anime world, so we're going to solely rely on descriptions.

Code: Select all: [color=gray][size=75]Hello there, future trainer. It's nice to meet you. Congratulations on your acceptance to CAMP. We are sure you will be very successful. In return for this free extraordinary program, we ask you to complete a survey. You will be asked a series of questions through this survey, some about your personal life, some about your Pokémon, some you'll need to answer together. All my questions will test the connection you share, and will estimate the potential bonding between you and the Pokémon you'll meet in the region.
