In a far away fantastic Pokeworld far from the one we know, the people believe that the Legendary Pokémon battled against eight Elemental Beasts to protect the world they had so lovingly made. Once the battle had ended, and the world at peace once more, the Legendaries each channeled their power into a powerful jewel, which were in turn liked together by Arceus, who created a diamond. This done, they hid the jewels in eight well guarded dungeons. If the Elemental Beasts were ever awakened again, a worthy band of heroes could find the jewels, and reseal the Elemental Beasts once again. The years have passed, and the seals on the Elemental Beasts have begun to weaken. But the Legendaries found out oo quickly that the hidden jewels worked a little too well--no heroes had yet succeeded in finding and retrieving the jewels. The most confused of all were the Twin Wolf-Kings--Zacian the Hero, and Zamazenta the Guardian. Was this task too difficult for any mortal? But then they remembered the old adage 'music tames the savage beast'--what if song were to succeed where sword and shield had failed? They found their heroes in a band of four minstrels that were also best friends, and four minstrel apprentices that wanted to come with them. To join in, sign up with the following information: Character's name: Character's age (anywhere from 13-17 is fine) Character's physical appearance (and what their minstrel costumes look like) Character's personality/known history: Character's weapon (if any--as minstrels, you carry a songblessed weapon, if you have a weapon at all) Character's preferred instrument (any fantastic instrument will do--no electric guitars or synths here!) Character's innate song (pick no more than two of Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Ice, Thunder, Light, or Stars): Character's Pokémon (if any) For reference: Ash is armed with songblessed twinblades named Firelight and Starglow. If melee combat is too dangerous, he can use the Song of Fire and the Song of Thunder. He currently carries two instruments--an Ancestral Flute, and a smaller Celestial Whistle. What his costume basically looks like Misty is armed with a songblessed sword named Frostine--a gift from her king. If melee combat is not feasible, she can use the Song of Water and the Song of Ice. She only carries one instrument--the Rolling Sea Fiddle. What her costume basically looks like Brock is armed with a songblessed bow named Willow, but he can also use the Song of Earth, or fight unarmed if archery or magic is too dangerous. While he is proficient on both lute and harp, he chose to bring the lute along for this adventure--a Lute of Honor. What his costume basically looks like Serena is armed with a songblessed rapier named Shimmer--a gift from a runeblade friend of hers. If melee combat is too dangerous, she can use the Song of Light and the Song of Stars. She only carries one instrument--a Mandolin of Virtue. What her costume basically looks like
Okay, this time I'm gonna try to make a brand new character for this! ...this isn't going to end well, isn't it. Character's name: Alexa Character's age: 14 Character's physical appearance: Brunette, with short, straight hair that barely reaches her shoulders. Brown-eyed. She's of average build and average height. Wears a pale violet and purple tunic/dress like the ones given above, with a short skirt reaching her knees and white pants with the same "feathery" design at the edges underneath the tunic, somewhat like Ash's design but with a more layered skirt above the pants and a different color. Character's personality/known history: Growing up as a middle-class girl, Alexa has always loved song and music. She became a minstrel's apprentice due to her wish of passing on her love of song to the world. She is a cheerful and bubbly young girl, although sometimes she ends up in trouble for her eagerness. She's also overly trusting of people who make good first impressions. However, she can be incredibly loyal to what other people think if she thinks highly enough of them. Character's weapon: None Character's preferred instrument: A flute (I have trouble picking names) Character's innate song: Wind Character's Pokémon: A young Starly that joined her on the journey, named Allegretto, often called Alle for short. He was drawn to Alexa's singing and flute, so after several days of coming closer and several weeks of thinking it through, he decided to join her. Also a lover of music, Alle is a singer, although his singing isn't the best there is. He is a curious young fellow and tends to be drawn to any noise or color he finds interesting. However, he is incredibly shy, often hiding behind Alexa or something else when scared. Once a person gains his trust, he may come a little closer. He acts as Alexa's voice of reason, often stopping her or pulling her back before she gets too overzealous or makes a bad decision. Is this good? Tell me if there's anything that needs changing.
@ChocoChicken That looks good! You are Accepted! If you don't list a weapon, you'll use your instrument to play magic, or fight unarmed using martial arts
