Quite hasty, but courageous
Thinks tactically

Rules:
-No godmoding, powerplaying, overcontrol, mary-suing
-You must a be a species of Pokémon that lives under the sea, or be an inanimate object waiting to be toyed with

You fail to mention anything about the plot.

Lockededed for some time.

Edit: Unlocked! Enjoy!

As Cruncy said, unlocked!

Rules have been udpated, plot posted, limits restrained, etc.

Characters acceptping.

As fro the deep-sea Pokémon clause, do a bit of research on the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon friend areas with the word "sea" or "ocean" in them, and you can pick a Pokémon. Yes, that means you can be Lugia and Kyogre, but like all Pokémon, you have to start small. So no Hyper Beaming!!! (unless by accident, and it should be ouf of control )

Edit: Oops, when you said friend areas I somehow misread it as dungeons. Is that alright or will I have to change my character to something else? Also if I can still use my character, I'm not sure if I got the birthplace right either.

Doesn't matter, friend area or dungeon, as long as it's somewhat similar to the oceans and such.

There is no "11" button, you hold Alt and press 1 on the number pad twice.

Ok, thanks, I get a little confused about that sort of thing . I'll edit my post and try that.

Edit: Still can't get it to work, ah well, I guess it's fine the way it is.

i tried that and it didnt work, o well! so how many ppl do we need before we can start?

I guess that I can give it a shot.

She is normally incredibly serious and on task, but sometimes she can be quite humorous. Also, she is loyal to friends whenever she gets one, which is quite rare. She is often a loner, as well as very smart. She isn't much of a battler, as so resorts to being evasive until the enemy tires.
Good Habits: She is a wonderful friend.
Bad Habits: She can sometimes be too serious and gives people death glares when they ruin her work/thought/plans
Born at: Far-off sea
Dreams: She doesn't dream, she simply wishes to be able to accomplish all of what she starts

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Omanyte woke up floating in a tank. He remembered dying a crushing defeat. He did not remember anything after that. He knew that he went where Pokémon "went", but this place didn't seem it. There were many strange tall beings, almost like mundane Blazikens. He settled back onto the sands of his strange clear prison and let his dreams wander.

((Can I use first person? Oh, and my name is Aria.))

I woke up groggily to see a large shadow above me. "Good, it's awake." I heard a male voice whisper. I looked around, and saw a few other shadows. Finally, as my vision cleared a bit, I could see the men, and one of them showed me a picture. Well, it was rather pushed into my view, but never mind that.
I looked at the picture, and the man said one word quietly. "Transform." Judging by his pleading, yet threatening tone, I didn't argue, and simply transformed. I looked down at myself afterwards, and the man smiled.
"Well Robert, we have our Suicune. What shall we name it?" I saw a man behind 'Robert' ask. "Well, even though it is genderless, some of the things in its DNA led me to view it as a female. Let's name her Aria, or Project 13. (I dunno, I like that number)" The man turned around. "How's Number 12 doing? You now, the fossilized pokemon?"

(My nickname is Todo)

Todo woke up on his island and went underwater.I wonder what is good in the neighborhood.Todo became depresessed as he saw no one drifting along.Well this sucks.He then just kept swimming along.

Nice job, Kawaii Angel, paco, this origin thing is going quite well so far!

But I'd prefer 3rd person, KA.
As for Paco... if you're changing the settings drastically put 3 asterisks above your post. Like this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* * *
Omanyte watched as the strange beings (he decided to call them Normapes) approached his tank. Omanyte did not like the eerie feeling he was getting as the Normapes watched him. Putting in lots of force, Omanyte spun rapidly towards the tank, firly denting the tank. Water slowly jetted out, leaving one scientist very surprised and the other dazed from being spurted by Pokémon-flavoured water.
The water drained out, but Omanyte could still breathe. He used his puny but muscular arms to slide himself along the smooth bottom of the tank as he explored the now dry tank.
That was fun, he thought to himself, and with that, he smashed his shell against the dented glass, effectively hurling himself out. Preparing for the worst, he adeptly slid into his hard shell.
Judging by the shadows on his shell, one of the Normapes picked him out. Being butterfingers, Omanyte slid out of the Normape's hands and hit the floor with a thud, jolting Omanyte to unconsciousness.

Aria heard a few cracks and a thud and looked to another room. A man ran into the room and looked at Robert. "Number....12..." He said panting. Robert ran to the other room, and Aria followed slowly. Aria looked through the door to see Robert giving what looked like a Revive to an unconscious pokemon on the floor. Without anyone noticing, Aria walked behind Robert, and watched the pokemon tensely. Is he alright? Why are we here anyways? What happened? She though, her thoughts coming unfocused and out of order.

(( Sorry for missing the first part, I get off the computer at 6:30, but I'm here most of the rest of the afternoon on weekdays. By the way my character is called Crevice.))

In a nearby room a loud yell is heard, and another human walks into the room. A growling blue pokemon is hanging onto his leg, it's teeth sunk deep into his skin. Clearing his throat, the human speaks. "Could somebody get this thing off of my leg?" he asks, while Crevice growls louder and sinks his teeth further into his enemy. Crevice decides he doesn't like strangers at all, especially when they invade the comfy swimming pool that is his home. Smelling other pokemon in the room, Crevice begins to wonder if there is more than humans living here.

(sorry i ws off early too. my name is Spike)
Spike heard loud noises all around him. He woke up to find himself in a small glass tank surronded by fake plants. "oh no" he said to himself. as if out of nowhere, a suicune was in the room. Frightend he hid behind one of the plants. Then he tried to communicate. he put his head out of the water and shot a stream of water at the suicune. Angrily it came towards his tank. " NOT GOOD!" Spike shouted

Try remembering to put the 3 asterisks for scene changes. Also, most of the story so far has used past tense, so...

And remember, no controlling another player's character. That means you, RECOLORER!

OMG I guess I'll have to stay without a nickname for the series.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Omanyte awoke immediately from his blackout, spirit not in the least wavering. He rapidly rolled inside his shell again, seeing out of his translucent shell light, of what must have been a stairway.

BAM!

Omanyte's shell bashed into the stair edges, jolting him from hermitting. Unfurling himself, he scanned the room. He saw Pokémon he did not recognize from his beforetime. There was a strange shell-less blue Kabuto on all-fours charging towards a Horsea in a plastic tank, and an unarmoured Kabutops, who just finished chomping one of the Normape's legs, was sniffing around the room. Sluggishly but determinedly, Omanyte crawled towards the newcomers.

Aria blinked as a refreshing yet harsh jet of water hit her on the back of her head. She turned to the attacker, and advanced forward. She then chuckled to herself. She shook her head at it while smiling, and turned towards the now conscious Omanyte heading towards a Kabuto that was chomping on someone's leg. She chuckled again, and then saw Robert coming towards her. As he reached out, Aria moved swiftly, to avoid him, which resulted in him almost falling. Aria chuckled again.

(sorry for controling u kawaii angel )
Spike was no longer afraid of the suicune. He actually felt sort of bonded with it. To help it, he jumped out of the water and shot a stream of water at Robert. "Thats what you get for put in me in that thing."
Spike turned towards the Suicune. "Hey. I'm Spike."
