    The basic premise:

    It is a story long told in Cielore...long ago, Cielore was oppressed by an evil wizard, who had a dragon familiar to hold the people under his iron fist. Heartbroken by the misery and despair she saw across the land, the Diamond Princess Diancie searched across the land for a hero that could defeat the wizard and his dragon, and lead the land into a new age of peace and plenty. She found the hero in a small village, and granted him a magical sword that would protect him from the wizard's evil magic. After a very long journey, he confronted the wizard and his dragon not far from the royal capital of Illumis, and defeated both wizard and dragon with his magical blade, and Diancie's sacred diamonds, which he had gathered on his journey.

    Many years have passed since then, and Cielore is in a new age of peace. While the tale of the hero, the wizard, and the dragon is now just a bedtime story, or a minstrel's tale, there is one reminder of the hero's journey that we undertake today--the Gathering of the Diamonds. Once a year, many different caravans follow the hero's long journey, stopping to gather diamonds where they can--either hard won from ruins, or as thanks for a deed of valor. While many set out to gather the sacred diamonds that appear in the land each year, only a rare few make it all the way to Illumis. Those that do make it there are welcomed as heroes, and receive medallions of valor from Her Majesty Queen Diantha.

    No one knows for sure how millions of colorful diamonds suddenly appear in the land each year in the spring, but it is agreed that when they do appear, it is time for the caravans to embark on the Gathering of Diamonds. Many see it as a coming of age journey, so every person in the land is encouraged to make the journey at least once in their lives.

    It is not just those of us that live in Cielore that make the journey--many come from far and wide to learn about the Gathering of the Diamonds, see all that our home has to offer, and follow the hero's route in their own way--either through a caravan of their own, riding with a caravan, a single Ponyta or Rapidash, or on foot.

    This year marks my turn to follow the hero's long road to Illumis in a caravan--but I get to do this alongside some of my best friends.

    What follows is our journey along the hero's road for ourselves. Little did we know, we would encounter and defeat an evil wizard of our own along the way, and arrive in Illumis as heroes...

    Sign up here with the following info:

    Character's name (try to have it be French or at least French sounding in origin, since Cielore is a fantasy Kalos)
    Character's origin (if your character is not originally from Cielore, where are they from?)
    Character's age (anywhere from age 13-16 will do)
    Character's physical appearance (what does your character basically look like?)
    Character's backstory/known history (what is your character like, and what spurred them to join Serena's caravan?)
    Character's class (any standard fantasy RPG class will do)
    Character's current inventory (what your character is currently carrying--money wise, Serena's father Lucien has given you a thousand gold pieces for expenses and supplies. You can earn more on the long journey, or find more in the wild)
    Character's Pokémon, if any (you can have up to three non-Legendary Pokémon of any of the known Pokémon.)

    Firstly, I'll dump a Kalos map here for reference:
    [​IMG]

    Image source: my X nuzlocke savefile at the time of writing this (haven't reached Snowbelle yet).
    May feature a different map scale to account for host @WavePearl's plans.

    Secondly, I'm feeling guilty for never getting to properly RP-ing this guy. If you're cool with it, I might as well try again with them being the Calem (as XY's MC) to your Serena -- a new neighbor.

    Fiorello Volta
    Name: Fiorello "Fiore" Volta
    Pronouns: He/they
    Age: 13
    Origin: Los Platos, Paldea
    Class: Blue Mage
    Appearance:
    [​IMG]
    • The robe Fiore is wearing above was originally their aunt's -- she gave one to him.
    • Fiore will alternate between that and FFTA2's blue mage outfit sans the headgear (whatever it's called) throughout the RP.
    Initial inventory: A blue saber, a black robe (initially worn), a blue robe (spare clothing, if you will), a map, and a Tera Orb (originally as a keepsake -- may or may not play a bigger role depending on what gimmick will be primarily at play here)

    Backstory Fiore grew up in a family who runs an Eevee daycare -- basically a nursery crossed with a shelter for Eevee and its evolutions -- in what would be Los Platos, Paldea today. One of the Eevee they took care of eventually bonded with Fiore and nicknamed Lissa. Fiore basically helped out in the family-run daycare until they discovered their ability to use Pokémon moves at 8 (barely hitting 9). Only then did their family enrolled them in a blue mage academy for 2 years, then continued their study in Mesagoza Academy for another 2 years.

    After graduating from Mesagoza Academy, Fiore wanted to explore the world beyond his home region. His parents suggested to start from Cielore where one of his aunts, Corinne "Coco" Coltheart, lived. Since Aunt Coco lived at Croquis, Fiore soon moved there together with his two partners, Lissa and Laslow, though they only got to stay there for about a month or so before embarking on the Gathering of Diamonds with one of their new neighbors.

    Known Pokémon:
    • Lissa the Eevee (she/her)
    • Laslow the Quaxwell (he/him)
    About Fiore's Pokemon
    While Lissa can't permanently evolve, she can shift between her Eeveelution forms via Extreme Evoboost. Think of it like Red's Vee when he was an Eevee but with more options to choose from (Vee's options were limited to the gen 1 Eeveelutions and he lost this ability upon permanently evolving into Espeon). The shifting itself is manually triggered by any of the Partner Eevee's exclusive moves with the target Eeveelution matching the move and Veevee Volley reverting her back to an Eevee mid-battle -- she'll automatically revert to her Eevee form once the battle's over.
    Fiore first met Laslow as a Quaxly during the Treasure Hunt -- an independent study project as a part of Mesagoza Academy's curriculum (basically SV plotline minus the (Ko-/Mi-)raidon shenanigans). Laslow eventually evolved into a Quaxwell a little while before Fiore's graduation.
    • Bouncy Bubble (water)
    • Buzzy Buzz (electric)
    • Sizzly Slide (fire)
    • Glitzy Glow (psychic)
    • Baddy Bad (dark)
    • Sappy Seed (grass)
    • Freezy Frost (ice)
    • Sparkly Swirl (fairy)
    • Extreme Evoboost
      • Unlike the Z-move it's based on, this spell allows Lissa to freely change from an Eevee to any of her Eeveelution forms and back -- effectively works like Mega Eevee in Pokémon Insurgence. This spell is only usable once per battle.
    Money: 1000 G
    • Blue saber
    • Black robe
    None at the moment

    @SAF

    Calem does appear in this story for a brief seeing off scene, then basically sends letters throughout the journey as support.

    There are no gimmicks here, so the Tera Orb is just a memento.

    Other than that, everything is good to go! You are Accepted!

    In that case, Calem will also be Fiore's new neighbor~ :D

    And for the record, this is Fiore's aunt who lives at Croquis:
