So I'm launching this new RP. It will be sent in a new area called Nucleolus Town. This area is actually going to be an RP Playground, where we can do miniature stories (or even normal ones) or where people can come to help learn how to roleplay. I will be running most of the games in this place. If you wish to learn or to rp and a game is not currently going on, please ask me to start one and I will. If anybody else wants to start a game using this area, please ask me first.
Here is a current (and simple) map of the town. More things may be added later.
Click for bigger picture
The town is situated in the center of 4 types of areas, a Sea to the south, Forests to the west, Grass plains to the east and a Mountain range (with several caves in them) to the north. This makes a large and varied amount of Pokémon living around the town.
It's also a great area to study Pokémon in their natural environments, which is why a large Pokémon research area is found at the northeast area of the town. Along with going out and studying Pokémon out in the field, the research center also has a scaled down set of the environments that exist around the town.
The breeding center in the northwest area of town is a great place to study eggs, baby Pokémon and the art of breeding itself. Along with raising Pokémon, the center is a training facility for breeders in training. With techniques from around the world, this is a great area to increase your knowledge in caring for Pokémon, and you may be able to pick up a Pokémon egg if the staff is feeling generous.
Pokémon trainers will want to drop by the gym, where the leader is always up for a good battle. And for coordinators, the contest arena regularly holds contests, both official for the grand festival, and unofficial for fun and other prizes.
Down on the docks, you can catch ferries heading to a verity of places. And on a weekend, you can find a farmers market on. Here you can find a large choice berries, poffins, pokéblocks and other items not usually available in the normal shops. A great place to look if you’re searching for something a bit special.
But there are normal shops, usually found in the shopping area. Looking for a new look, need some poké balls, how about stocking up on supplies. You'll find them all and more in various shops around here.
Characters. You can play as anything you want in this playground. Want to be a trainer passing through town, you can. Want to be a researcher based at the center, that's fine too. Want to be a wild Pokémon that lives within the town, sure go ahead. This is a place where roleplaying should be a restriction free as possible. But remember, while Pokémon can talk between each other freely, humans can't understand them word for word. And don’t try capturing the Pokémon roaming around town unless they want you too... you'll find they're trickier than they look.
The following characters are around town already.
These characters can only be controlled by the person running the rp:
Professor Juniper: The head of the Pokémon Research Center. Can usually be found there studying Pokémon, although she does find piece while sitting on the docks watching the ships, and she also enjoys watching the contests that takes place in the arena.
Ivan: Head of the breeding center, he is the one you can go to if you want to learn anything to do with breeding and raising Pokémon. Ivan is also the person to hand out eggs to any trainers he feels is good enough to have one.
Officer Jenny: The head of the local Police force, Officer Jenny will be on hand for any trouble. She's fairly strict when it comes to other people interfering in ongoing investigations, but she will accept help when she needs it, especially if you know someone from around town willing to vouch for you.
The following characters can be controlled by anyone as long as it doesn't interfere with the plot or if the person running the rp says otherwise:
Nurse Joy: The main medical official at the Pokémon Center, Nurse Joy is the one you want to see on all Pokémon health related matters. Kind and friendly, Nurse Joy always welcomes people with a warm smile. But be warned, if you've been abusing Pokémon, her wrath is worse than any thing you can imagine
Sally: Owner of the Seal Shop (Sally's Seal Shop). The shop, located near the contest arena, is one of the best in the region, so it attracts co-ordinators from all around. Although she is now retired, Sally was a multi-award winning co-ordinator so she's the person to see if you want tips on co-ordinating. She's very friendly and helpful, and always has some good advice to offer up to co-ordinators in her shop. Sally has 3 Pokémon from her contest days. Her Delcatty is usually found relaxing in some shade outside of the shop, not paying attention to any of the passers by. Her Teddiursa can often be found playing with Sally's daughter, Lucy, whenever it’s not eating. Sally's Espeon acts as a grand protector, mostly watching over Lucy and Teddiursa, but also looks out for Sally, the shop and Delcatty. Espeon can also be found wandering around town, as if it’s looking out for the entire of Nucleolus Town and its residents, Pokémon and Human.
Lucy: At age 8, Lucy is currently too young to have any Pokémon of her own, though the amount of time she spends playing with Teddiursa would suggest otherwise. She's a happy and friendly child, though can get up to some mischief whenever she gets the chance. If not playing around the shop or the park, Lucy and Teddiursa can often found playing with the other Pokémon at the breeding center, where Ivan keeps a friendly eye out for the two. When she reaches the age that she will be able to have her own Pokémon, she currently isn't sure whether she will be a co-ordinator like her mother, a breeder like Ivan, or a regular trainer.
Other Characters:
Shawn: The Leader of the Gym, he's always up for a battle with anyone, for an official badge or not. He's good friends with both Professor Juniper and Ivan. He's also friends with lots of other people around the town, so is a good person to know if you want connections around town. He specialises in Dark Type Pokémon, usually using Umbreon, Houndour and Murkrow... though he does have a couple of other dark type surprises if his opponent is really good.
Shawn can only be controlled by WhoKnows_WhoCares.
Please post application forms as a reply in this forum for other characters. The forum is as follows:

And now for a story. First up: its present giving season and the whole town is in the holiday mood. But when the Delibird that delivers the presents goes missing from the Pokémon center during its annual check up, it’s up to a small group of people to try and find the Delibird before the presentation ceremony.
