000 ⟡ INTEREST CHECK & ENABLE ME PLEASE!


⋆✩ let's get hype! ✩⋆


INTEREST CHECK & ENABLE ME PLEASE!

There has been so much support and interest in the game, and we wanted to thank you all so much for that! Some players have requested an enable me please type meme ahead of the TDM, so we're happy to oblige. Please use this as a chance to plan, get ideas for characters and Pokemon, and of course encourage others! The Locations page and Pokemon & Abilities page are both still currently under construction, but will hopefully be completed and opened up within the next few days, and we are considering putting the TDM up a little early (maybe Jan 18th?) if all works out in order to allow for more time between playing around and reserves/apps.

Remember to follow the plurk ([plurk.com profile] baymods) in the meantime for updates! As you jump into the meme, here are some quick reminders:

This is not for claiming characters, and there is no guarantee that the first person to post any specific character will be the one to join the game! Please be kind to each other, and respect anyone who wants to consider a character, even if it's one with interest already expressed. The same holds true for the TDM.

⟡ If anyone has concerns about a player, whether on this meme or the TDM/reserves in the future, please contact the mods here. Information posted solely on anoncomms is outside of the scope of what we can moderate, so please bring any concerns to us directly.

Encourage each other! It can be difficult to reach out to strangers, but as this is a brand new game that's yet to open, this is a great chance to make friends and say something kind or encouraging to someone else. Maybe you don't recognize their character, but their information sounds really fun! Maybe you have ideas to bounce off with your own character? Or maybe you just love their Pokemon choice! Whatever it is, be kind to each other, and have fun!


THE FORM

Here is the form you can fill out to express interest! Feel free to post multiple characters— in that case, feel free to rearrange or repeat parts of the form as necessary. The same comment works just fine! Lastly, the image height can be changed just fine, but try not to stretch the page with the header picture or any images inserted into the "anything else" section. Thank you!

Shoka Sakurane | The World Ends With You

[personal profile] telewarped 2024-12-31 09:11 am (UTC)(link)


PLAYER INFO
PLAYER: Kibi
FAV POKEMON GEN: Gen 5 (BW is my favorite set of games in the main series...but Explorers of Sky might still be my top favorite Pokemon game ever 🥺)

CHARACTER INFO
CHARACTER: Shoka Sakurane
CANON: The World Ends With You
POKEMON: Mimikyu, Purrloin, or Taillow.

Leaning toward Mimikyu at the moment since it feels like the strongest thematically (Shoka and Mimikyu are both lonely ghosts who wear outfits based on their series' mascot...she could make a Mr. Mew disguise cloth to replace the default Pikachu one later on...do you see my vision), but Shoka is also extremely Purrloin-coded and Taillow would be funney (if you know, you know)... So I'm a bit torn.

ABOUT:
Shoka is a snarky, standoffish teen whose hobbies include mobile games, street fashion, and pissing people off. In her world, Shoka was a Reaper in the Reaper's Game, a game for the recently deceased that offers players a chance at coming back to life. As a Reaper, she helped keep the game running as designed by getting players accustomed to the rules (mostly by messing with them relentlessly) and has been stuck at the age of 16 for a while. As a result, she's pretty out of practice with the whole being alive thing.

She's abrasive, often rude, and seems to have the most fun just riling people up, but her spicy outer layer conceals an inner loneliness and desire to be understood; those willing to accept it and earn her trust may find in her a loyal friend who can be helpful and even sweet in her own way... Though she'll probably still have to treat you to a good friendly roasting every now and then.

INTERESTED TO PLAY:
I really just love the PMD world in general and am excited to put my blorbo into it...especially if it means I get to have her grapple with her Inner Turmoil at the same time. I can't imagine she'll be trying very hard to climb to the top of the guild rankings, but I'd like to have her explore her own identity and values through quests, learn how to work in a team (again), learn How To Be Alive Good (Pokémon Edition!), and such...

CR-wise, I would especially love her to find friends who will accept her warts and all, characters she can have fun messing with, and perhaps some mentor figures...? If you would find it amusing to have your character be bullied by a tiny mean catgirl, I'm here for you. 🫡

ah, one of Nomuras Wild Rides (tm) (i'm a dissidia stan dw about it)

Anyway Perrin and spicy teens is so funny. do you want a weirdo mentor who sometimes claims he's died twice but he didn't feel like staying dead.
telewarped: (In the end)

[personal profile] telewarped 2024-12-31 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
GASPS hi Kururu hiiii!!

i would love her to meet Perrin...she loves weirdos even though she makes fun. he tells her this lore and she's just like "whack. love that for you!" <--- she has also technically died multiple times but was okay with staying dead 😔

also picturing the size difference between Dragonite and Mimikyu and going 🥺

LMAOOOO i couldn't possibly make my identity easy for you to guess by apping N or Lusamine instead (but wouldn't that be a trip...i would make them Hisuian Zorua and Froslass respectively. if you care)

anyway IT'S BEEN 3000 YEARS SINCE WE LAST RPED TOGETHER it'd be so great to write with you again!! and i'm excited to get to know Perrin For Real :') i can already imagine him and Shoka having beautiful morbid conversations together...and her maybe demanding he fly her around a little eventually. after CR development gets to a point where she wouldn't be embarrassed about asking that of him. pwease 🥺

[personal profile] shotinhead 2025-01-03 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
of course i care :3c i'm still a pokenerd and i am so glad you are too (fun oc fact: perrins great grandparent has influence from lusamine c: and his mama [not his nana, imagine getting adopted by two sisters] has lillie influence. You Can Guess What That Means)

but seriously i didnt even know u were still in the dwrp community!!! we just ran in different circles! you've seen perrin at his happiest (in a polycule and as accidental warlord at times), now see him at his worst (off his meds)! and listen he'd be so fuckin glad to fly a friend around. but that development gotta happen! it'll be fun and funny.

[personal profile] telewarped 2025-01-04 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
BAHAHA rest assured i've been a Pokenerd since i was 5 years old...don't forget: you're here forever!

and Lusamine influence means ONLY GOOD THINGS, i'm sure...🙃 unfortunately i probably have no choice but to stan them both though. girlboss

i was out of DWRP for a looooonggg time (like...10 years?!?!) but came back a couple years ago for one (1) game...all the RP lingo had changed and i had to relearn it all, it was so scary, but i'm GLAD TO BE BACK...i tried to RP on tumblr like a fool and it was a nightmare 😭😭

we are stuck in pokeheck until. idk. pokemon are real.

lucky is an asshole. lucky must be stanned. i will do an info post on it soon on tumblr lmfao. (it chose it/its pronouns after being forced into being a guy because of a cameo in a spinoff game.)

Oh mood. I... rped on Twitter for a while - from the porn ban on Tumblr until Tweetdeck became paid-only. It was hell. Consent issues out the ass and people not communicating. Got some good muses from it, though! (And some utterly broken muses. Emotionally, I mean.) At least we are demi-adults here and nobody is going to accuse me of being a pedophile.

So I absolutely would love to throw A.B.A at Shoka if you decide to app! She doesn't really handle being trolled well lmao, but A.B.A looooves creepy dolls, and I feel like she'd be much more forgiving or even just outright ignore any bullying just so she can keep following a cute little Mimikyu around like a creepy weirdo. That's probably some form of friendship! ...Probably!
telewarped: (All the tiny little things)

[personal profile] telewarped 2024-12-31 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
YOUR MIND...i could see their CR going either way; Shoka is often a total jerk who loves to pick fights, but sometimes she can be surprisingly gentle with more timid/anxious characters (because their reactions to her bullying aren't quite as fun as when people just get mad at her? who knows...). also she loves birds so this could be a mutual "you are bullying me, but you're a creepycute dollthing 🥺" "you are seriously creeping me out, but you're a cool birdmonster 🥺" situation...could even be BOTH (CR starts negative, but slowly becomes positive?)...many possibilities

either way i am so easily amused by how tiny Mimikyu is compared to most other Pokemon so picturing these two standing next to each other is cracking me up, regardless of whether their CR ends up contentious or friendly...POV you are just a little hater vs. "excuse me, A.B.A asked for no pickles"

[personal profile] quirkynote 2024-12-31 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Weehhh, it's so cute, oh no!! I really hope you app her, Kibi, I'd die for this kind of cr. She'd carry Shoka on her back and everything, there's just so many advantages to befriending the giant bird monster. I mean, I'd take whatever they end up being, but I have a good feeling she can behave for something she's crazy for.

Especially if that's true and Shoka dials it back once she sees what she's dealing with, because A.B.A is pretty much queen anxiety. She DID ask for no pickles!! ;-;

[personal profile] telewarped 2025-01-02 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
WELL NOW I GOTTA so i can see noble steed A.B.A...THANK YOU FOR NICE TO ME AND MY RUDEGIRL :')

i have the app basically done already so PLACE YOUR BETS on how long it takes us to reenact the no pickles meme ICly

hi hi Kibi it's jess hi!!!

I look forward to tossing a fellow bullying goth at you this time instead of neku lol
telewarped: (Looking for answers)

[personal profile] telewarped 2025-01-01 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
HI JESS HIIII IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU

god i'm canon blind with Hubert but i read "fellow bullying goth" here and "maybe even mentoring some younger people" in your blurb for him and immediately start picturing a beautiful goth slowburn friendship...i feel like Shoka would need to bully him at the start because NERRRD!!! but perhaps she'd find him amusing and relatable enough to hang around...they could learn how to be people together...by being Pokemon (?)

after many layers of character development they could even be like this

200% tbh. She's about the same age as his little sister so the cain instinct is strong. trolling is required
