 Hey there! I'm Thalia and I've been eying this place for a little bit.  I have a couple old pokemon accounts but I couldn't decide who to bring.  But I was rewatching some of the Poketoons shorts the other day and decided that Blossom would be super fun to play as! (If you're unfamiliar you can watch the short she's from here! It's only thirteen minutes long and really cute).

She is I guess vaguely AU? I've expanded her team a bit in a way I feel is a realistic 'evolution' (ha) to where she might be if she's been on her adventure for a w while now.

Anyways I'm happy to be here and excited to play some pokemon stuff! If you ever wanna plot with me or just chat feel free to hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] candlecane

It's been a while since we made one of these--but have a plotting post everybody! And while it's not this month I'm sure those who have been in the game will know what the next big event will be! That's right:
The Harvesting Bonds Festival! But that's for next month. In the mean time, hey! Why not start up some fun with your fellow players, woo!

Hello! I play Evie, Chloe, and her Eevee. I can't get enough of the little darlings and am just starting to create a new Eevee character based on an adorable shirt sold on Etsy, where Eevee runs a diner. This is Eadie. She runs a diner and is a very motherly sort of Eevee. She will be able to magically talk like Evie, if that's okay. Better for communication!

Hi, this is Lala again! Am I terrible at balancing multiple muses and show clear bias? Yes. Am I still going to bring in another character? Also, yes. I don't know if she'll stick around for long, but Georgia's hilarious and great fun, so here's another tsundere BW! rival. She's rude, she's loud, she steals shamelessly, but she also cares a lot! She favours Ice and Steel types and she's Iris' main rival. ^^

Happy one year anniversary, Faraway Place! I love this place and appreciate everyone I play with! ;3;

Thank you, Spagonia and Mukkuru, for such a lovely game and for being such good friends, too! You inspire so much creativity and you captured everything lovable about this franchise and the anime and it's so good, it makes the end of Satoshi/Ash's journey a lot easier, since we can always have more fun with the old characters here! The journey continues. ;3;
I'm grateful for having somewhere I can play with my old [personal profile] bashou too, it's been like a dream.

Now, the reason I gave this its own post... lots and lots of doodles (the images are huge and heavy, so under the cut!)

Wow, it’s almost a full year since Faraway Place has opened–nife debiru, thank you all who have been with us throughout this ride, and to our new players as well!

We will have an anniversary post popping up on the 20th (tomorrow!). It will be time for a summer festival, yet again!

Please feel free to use this post as a plotting post, and as per usual if there’s any comments, concerns or questions for us mods, let us know down in the comments!

Ulsai everyone! I've finally gotten off my butt to join this comm, and I'm starting off by bringing in one of my OCs, Nathaniel Berger. He's from a post-apocalyptic PTU game that involved many of the legendaries being killed off and the attempts to fix it, as part of the group trying to bring the legendaries back and protect the still-living ones. He was also badly injured as a child when he tried to fight them when they first emerged, and both the physical and mental trauma still affects him. Please let me know in his permissions post if you'd rather not engage with that side of his backstory!

He's also the guardian of the newly reborn Zapdos, or Brinda as he calls them. They can take on human form and will also be posting here on occasion, under the username [personal profile] loudvoiceloudbabybird! Developmentally they're approximately a teenager, and very enthusiastic about having hands and also just being able to go around without everyone's jaws dropping in awe.

You can reach me at [plurk.com profile] graygriffin. I hope to enjoy my time here!

Ulsai! Spagonia here to say I am officially off my slowtus so expect more tags!!! Although I do have work from 2 PM - 10:30ish PM CST Friday - Tuesdays so apologies for the lack of tags during those hours. Otherwise I will be backtagging the heck out of folks and dragging out NPCs as per usual!

Expect shenanigans from my usual suspect: X [personal profile] closedbond!

Also I decided to be insane and bring in an AU!Silver [personal profile] golddream wahooo!!!

Edit: I forgot to mention this but please feel free to reach out to me if you would like to plot anything! I am available through my DMs, plurk, tumblr, and multitude of other places but you'll have to dm me for my discord though...!

........ that hiatus did not last as long as I thought it would, maybe I should stop announcing hiatuses. Sorry for clogging up the OOC community! o/

I had some personal issue and thought I might have to stop playing as a whole (not an issue with the community itself!), but it's chill, we're good. o/

In a few days, I will also have the longest time off I've had in ages, too (maybe they're making up for flooding my schedule early this last week), so looking forward to playing more. ^^

Hi, this is Lala, I’ve decided to leave plurk and I’m putting all my characters here (Buson/Attila, Lillie, Iris, Fuji Ai/Amber Fuji, and Trip) on hiatus.
buson: (get the drop on 'em!)
[personal profile] buson
Just a head’s up to inform you this is still Lamees (Lala, [plurk.com profile] muteswans)’s Buson/Attila (previously goldandsilver), I just bought a rename token to match with [personal profile] bashou… I tend to forget DW is not LJ! A lot of names were never taken here. ^^

Have some new artwork, while I’m at it. Including Buson's low-key tourist-y look (it's hardly a disguise, fff.)


He's only committed a crime, like, once, on arrival (... unless he goes through with this very ill-advised plan to take Jirachi in a desperate attempt to make money and escape TR back home and hopefully, he won't actually go through with it, his conscience is gnawing at him and it's so innocent and Evie-like too...) and only a couple of Pokemon (and, uh, all those wild Electric types) and a police officer know how he looks, so teeechnically, he wasn't ever caught... ^^;;;

Hello, bonjour, and ulsai! My name’s Fleda, and I come bearing a Nuzlocke protagonist in tribute. This here is Leaf (going by the name Calla because the flower symbolizes both life and death and I am a sucker for ironic names for game protagonists) She’s specifically from the FireRed/LeafGreen generation and thus will be a little bit more than baffled by fancy tech. She likes training her Pokémon, long walks, and lemonade.

I’m still setting up her journal, but it’s nice to meet you all. Looking forward to playing with you all! And apologies in advance for the rambling; fighting a wicked bit of heat-induced insomnia at the moment (yay, desert life).

A while back I commissioned this adorableness. When Evie eventually goes home, she finds Radley again.

Two things! I’ll let Buson go home for a few days (so he can finish the unsuccessful Raikou mission, and then, however many off-screen missions and events take place between then and the successful Rayquaza mission) and then come back… he’ll probably be quite disoriented and might need to re-adjust to peaceful living and will probably feel even more unworthy of all of this on returning, but… but he’ll still be happy to be back!

This way, both him and Bashou have experienced the same Raikou mission in full, but Buson will also feel he’s been gone a lot longer (but time flows differently, so it’s just a few days here in Ultern…).

The other thing, have some roleplay-based art, a lot of which I already share on plurk ([plurk.com profile] muteswans), but some concern characters who I don’t have added there, like Evie, so here, it’ll go!

Hi everyone!

Quick note from me ([personal profile] bashou's writer) to say that I'm bringing in my version of Volo - another villain, technically, but a very squishy one.

He has been drifted through a couple (?) of centuries to get to Ultern, so...expect him to be shocked and confused by things like short-shorts, motorboats, automatic doors, televisions, grocery stores, amusement parks, social media, the idea of children raising Pokémon...

On a more serious note: it's difficult to write anything involving Volo, without major Pokemon Legends: Arceus spoilers. So please let me know if you want to opt out!

Just a quick post to say: I'm dropping both Red [personal profile] monologing & Lear [personal profile] princeofpasio I just can't juggle this many player characters on top of NPCs so they'll just happily going back to where they came 😌 It's a hard decision to make but I think it's for the best!

X will still be around so please feel free to pester him!


Plus, since this is a DR, they can show back up some day but for now consider them gone. Apologies to anyone I've been keeping from waiting on tags! I'll have a lot more free time starting off on the weekend!✨✨✨

Oh, and while I am dropping the two--I'll happily get around to any old tags I owe for them as well!

Ulsai! This is Lala ([plurk.com profile] muteswans) again, with a new character. o/

I really wanted to bring this character in for a long time, but I was already having trouble juggling characters... right now, with Buson/Attila being more of my main muse and Mairin and Lillie being easier secondary ones, I think I'll send my previous main muse, Trip, home. He's missed Unova for a long while! ;3; His newly caught Tepig will join him there. Thanks for being good friends with my not-very-sociable little brat, fff. He will carry your lessons with him!

This is Fuji Ai (Amber Fuji), also known as Aitwo (Ambertwo), but she's really just Ai at heart... the little girl whose tragic death pushed Dr. Fuji to accept funding from Giovanni of Team Rocket to support his research into cloning. Giovanni got Mewtwo out of it and Dr. Fuji hoped to get his daughter back... she's only in this short introduction not included in the dub of the English movie, but the cut movie segment was later dubbed and released with Mewtwo Returns!
She was also given more of a role in the CD Drama which was never translated officially, but fan-made translations exist. ^^ I draw on some aspects of that version, as long as it doesn't conflict, for additional canon information.

Ai's a playful and imaginative, yet also very patient and motherly little girl who's simultaneously very innocent and wise (... because her father has been trying, unsuccessfully, to clone her for, oh, about eight years... she only lives four years each time and dies inside the culture, never exiting into the outside world unlike Mewtwo—spiritually, but she remembers everything and is the same Ai that died in the crash... of course, she still looks and mostly acts about eight, since her whole life's basically left in suspense and she mostly lives in her own memories and imagination! ^^;;;)

Here in Ultern, she'll be a living, breathing, little girl again and not just a soul or a body that cannot exist outside of suspension fluid/culture media, of course!! She'll just. Still have all those memories... :D;;;;

She's the one who introduced to Mewtwo the concepts of God, parents, etc., that he asks about early in the (Japanese) version of the film, although he has forgotten her, she left an undeniable impact on him!

MAY UPDATE!

ULSAI!
This is MC here! It’s been a while since I’ve done another update post. There’s a lot the mods would love to show you since January, but today seems like the day to finally show you guys what we have in store for Faraway Place!

bashou: (1)
[personal profile] bashou
My name's Simone, long-time RPer but brand new to Dreamwidth and DWRP! Just wanted to drop in and say hi while I lurk a bit and learn the ropes.

I'm bringing in Bashou (also known as Hun), Team Rocket Agent and work partner to Attila/Buson. I've been writing a version of this character for a few years on other platforms but this should be a new and interesting experience!

All my character info etc. posts are up so please feel free to browse if you're interested! If there's any other info that would be useful for me to have on there, I'm open to any suggestions.
