Why us?: Well, a few reasons. To start with, you're the only Pokemon modded RP actual-effort-put-into server I know of But more so because it just looks amazing. The mod you guys picked was great choice, and I can definitely see why you guys picked it after looking into it, it will be AWESOME to be able to use it in multiplayer like this. I mean, you guys thought of stuff here that I never would have thought of. So that being said, it looks VERY well planned and thought out. I'm excited about ever aspect of this server. It's like the latest non-movie Transformers games: Not restricting the things that really make the series and playing it in a game format amazing, even though it could easily be done. Also, a ember of staff on my server, BluesStudios, first told me about it, and when i expressed interest he had me talk to SamielTheMDS (I had talked to him before this but didn't really know him that much). So he was telling me about the server and gave me the forum link, and here I am!
How much do you know about Pokémon?: Well, I've played the games ever since I was a little kid when the first 3 came out. I've played every game at least twice, and have played almost all versions of each gen (I don't think I ever played Red, and I'm pretty sure I either didn't play either Gold Or Crystal, can't remember which one though) including the remakes of the first 2 gens (Firered/Leafgreen and Heartgold/Soulsilver). I've even got Black and White 2 pre-ordered. So I know just about everything, or at least most of it(not to great on stats and I haven't 100% memorized some of the more confusing type match ups).
Will you be asking a lot of questions?: Probably not. Any question I would be ask would be (If related to the server) if the answer wasn't already explained on the op or somewhere or just obvious/common sense, or if (if related to Pokemon) it was a small thing I couldn't quite remember and didn't really want to look up.
Did you read the rules?: Yes I did, I believe I owe you this diamond
RP Experience: Well, I have alot from playing other roleplaying games (Though never anything hardcore like PnP/Dungeons and Dragons type stuff, or anything like World of Warcraft), but in Minecraft, a lot and a little at the same time. I was just brought into the MC server (whitelisted and rp servers) community about a month and a half ago when my friend asked me to help him co-run a new launch he of a popular Fallout roleplaying server that died and gave him permission to restart. So I've already gotten a LOT (and I mean A LOT) of roleplaying done there, as well as some on another Fallout server, Fallcraft.
RP Example (please include a 1 paragraph rp example):
"Aaaagh!"
Patrick hears a someone scream out as he and his Alakazam are walking through the Viridian Forest. It's during twilight hours, son the forest is incredibly dark. He starts running towards the direction of the dream, and ends up umping into an Ariodos hanging down from a tree. Patrick is knocked back, but quickly gets back up and surveys the scene. A kid looking to be somewhere around 13 is surrounded by 5 or Ariodos
"Hey, you lot get out of her, leave that poor kid alone!" Patrick says, trying to just shoo the large spider Pokemon away. "Are you alright kid?" Patrick shouts to the kid in the middle of the swarm. But before he can get a a reply, 3 of the Aridos turn to lunge at Patrick, who quickly yells:
"Alakzam, use Phsycic, quick!"
"Alakazam uses phsycic, sending the three Ariodos scattering back into the woods. One of the reminding Ariodos Turns away from terrorizing the kid and hits Alakazam with a stun spore, paralyzing him.
Seeing this, patrick quickly reaches into his bag and takes out a stun spore. : "Alakazam, paralyze heal!" Patrick uses the paralyze heal on Alakazam which works.
"Now, Alakazam, use psybeam!" Alakazam uses Psybeam on the remaining Ariodos, frightening the ones it didn't hit, and sending them all scattering back into the thick woods. Patrick rushes over to the boy.
"Hey kid, are you all right?!" Patrick says, genuinely concerned for the kid, who he helps stand up, leaning into him.
"Yea, yea, I'm fine, thank you mister, I don't know what I would have done of you hadn't of come along" says the kid.
Patrick replies to the kid with "Oh its no problem at all, I'm very glad I came along when I did, those Ariodos were really ganging up on you! Now, lets get you out of these woods"
IC Name: Patrick Hastings
Age: (Hm, guess it would be a little weird and not terribly fun to be the age you typically (somehow) are in the games, so I guess I'll just go with) 16
Gender: Male
Appearance: Short hazelnut-brown hair that grows out and not down, kept neat and brushed. Greenish-Blue eyes. 5'8 and skinny, normal skin tone, not really pale nor really tan. Caucasian. Wears jeans most of the time with a green t-shirt and a thin Dark Blue-Grey sports jacket, which is left unzipped most of the time but all the time. Likes to wear sunglasses sometimes (by that I mean, not because the brightness of the sun warrants there use, but because he just wants to sometimes). Clean-shaven and clear face/head. Always wears a watch. Dark Blue-Grey tennis shoes with white laces.
Personality: Friendly, kind, outgoing. Loves battling as sharing this special bond with his very precious Alakazam, and especially loves at a Gym Leader as its an opportunity for him to help trainers on their journey increase their bond with their Pokemon, and their battling abilities throughout that, as well as making sure their prepared for the road ahead when he hands them that badge. He can get very emotional though, not very angry, but very, very sad, but he is mostly able to keep that in check, and it mostly only happens in random circumstances someway related to the events that transpired with Team Rocket when he was 14. He can also let his passion for his Poekmon and his job get in the way of having any kind of personal friendship and relationship with anyone, as it makes him pretty oblivious to stuff like that.
Background (at least 2 paragraphs): Patrick was born in Goldenrod, a very large city in the Johto region. He was about as normal as a child could get. Learned all about Pokemon in school, took an instant fascination to them as a kid, couldn't wait till he was old enough to have one, wanted to be the best trainer ever. Pretty much like every other kid. He got his first Pokemon, Abra, as a birthday present from his parents when he turned 11. Now, both of his parents worked, but there jobs were both inside the city, and mostly only lasted during the day while he was at school, so they were both around a good bit. His mom worked as a news reporter on the radio with her very own show weekday mornings. His dad taught classes for teenagers that were about to start there journey as a trainer, making sure they were completely prepared for the journey, teaching them basic and advanced battling techniques, how to take care of their Pokemon, making sure that each of his students would always treat there Pokemon right and not abuse them in battling, making sure they memorized the region map for Johto and what path they would need to take, and they were prepared for each dangerous place around Johto, and the ones infested with Zubat they needed to stay away from at all cost. So anyways, back to Patrick. He took an instant love to Abra, and never really kept him in his Pokeball. He never had any interest in battling with Abra, or catching any other Pokemon. It seemed like his generic big dreams of becoming a famous and legendary trainer were gone. But when he was 14, and working as a bike messenger in the city, Team Rocket took the entire city hostage, most of all the radio station where his mom worked. He tried as hard as he good to battle his way through the Rocket Grunts to get inside the station and save his mom, but having never really battled with Abra, to any Pokemon for that matter before, he was quickly defeated, his Abra badly hurt. Patrick was full of emotion and rushed to the Pokemon center to get him healed. The Nurse Joy said that things were very bad for Abra, having never been prepared for this kind, or any kind, of attack, especially not from a powerful Pokemon. Patrick was a complete mess. He had no idea where his dad was, his mom had been taken hostage by Team Rocket, and his Abra was very badly hurt because he hastily forced him into a battle with someone much stringer that neither of them were prepared for without thinking. And that was his own fault, and he couldn't stop beating himself up for it and blaming everything on himself. But then a miraculous thing happened- Abra evolved, right next to Patrick, who was full of emotions, in the sick room(?). He didn't know how, or why, but right before his eyes Abra evolved into Kadabra , completely healing in the process. (Because (Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm 99% sure I'm not) Abra evolves based on friendship level and not battling experience/level). By the time he got out of the Pokemon center, Team Rocket was gone, and he rushed to the station to find his dad, who took the day off to visit his wife at work, sitting there with his mother, who were both completely fine. But something had changed in Patrick that day. He hated that sense of helplessness he had when his own parents were taken hostage. So he began taking what he previously had lost interest in- his dads Trainer classes. His bond with Kadabra grew even stronger, and in 2 years, when he turned 16, he set out on his journey as a trainer. But as he traveled through the Johto region, he found himself much more interested in what actually went on inside the gyms more than the actual battles. The mechanics of it, how it was set up, and how it was run. He tried to study each Gym leader he encountered at each Gym he went to. Gradually, his mind-set that he had to be some super powerful trainer who can stop anyone and save anyone that he had a carried with himself for 2 years began to wear off, and he found that he wasn't really that interested in being a big trainer that much anymore, but was really much more interested in being a Gym leader. He still annoyed battling, but found he didn't enjoy all the traveling, finding these really cool places he liked then having to just leave them son after. And the battling for the purpose of just making himself and his still single Pokemon stronger. It was just empty to him. So he made his mind up towards a new goal- to become a Gym leader. He didn't care where, or not even so much what type, as long as his Kadabra was with him. He wanted to be able to be a influential part in a trainers journey, making sure they were ready to move on to the next gym, and helping his challengers improve there relationship with their Pokemon. Wanting a complete change in scenery, he journeyed to the Kanto region, and as luck would have it, the city even bigger than Goldenrod that he set out for first had their Gym leader poison available. His now fully evolved Alakazam and him surpassed any other applicants because though they weren't the strongest, or fastest, or didn't have the best moves, they functioned and knew each other so well (The Abra their IS Psychic after all, and forms unique strong Psychic bonds with their trainers) that it translated into the battlefield, demonstrating excellent technique and a battling style that would be a great example for challenging trainers. They were an incredibly strong team, but not through physical the physical sense of it, but through their special bond that helped him become a great Gym leader, despite his young age.
Ok, so, a few side notes on the bio. As you can see, a lot of it is based on if I do get accepted as a Gym Leader, and specifically Saffron. If i get denied as gym leader or as the Saffron one, but allowed to lead a different Gym, I'll be happy to go in and change the needed things in my bio. Oh and the Pokemon. I put Abra in third tier because, don't Gym Leaders have a separate set of Pokemon for non-Gym battles? So I'm working under the assumption that I would have a third their Poekmon like Alakazam, at least for a Gym like that. But then of course I don't know about any of that really haha, so I know Its quite possible I'm wrong on that. Also I think the Pokemon mod doesn't even have that tier, so if you want me to change the Pokemon I can. Sorry if it went on too long there or didn't make sense in some areas, or made me seem to powerful. I would also be more than happy to change those things (or, of course, anything you would deny me for) if they are there.
Gym Leader App
How often can you be on?: Honestly, my schedule fluctuates and changes a lot and can be unpredictable, especially with what I feel like doing that day. But it would probably normally be 2-3 hours minimum during weekdays, and I honestly don't know what a good estimate for weekends would be, but normally a lot more than 2-3 hours. In short, I can be pretty active, especially while my server is down for building between our soft-release weekends (were the server is only up for players and rp during the weekends, instead of always being up 24/7 like it has been for the past few weeks. We go back down on sunday, so next week I would be able to be pretty darn active if you guys are released then).
What experience do you have in a position like this?: Well, I co-own and run a Fallout roleplay server, and lead one of the 3 major factions on it. So I've got a good bit of experience in leading a faction, which I believe could translate to this and certainly help in doing this.
Why should you get the position?: Well, like I said Ive got some pretty good experience doing something like this on my own server, and I've always dreamed of being able to be a Gym Leader in an actual game, so this is something I'm REALLY interested in. I believe I've got good references in the staff and players of my server, so if you want to talk to any of them about me (especially Bluestudioes since he's involved here) feel free to! I believe I could run the gym pretty well, keep things within the Pokemon realm and possible, and of course fight fair and not try to overpower my challenger, since after all, we do want people to able to get badges, so trying to uber-train my gym leader Pokemon for the purpose of trying my hardest to defeat any and every challenger would not be something good to do of course, and it certainly isn't something I would do. Of course I wouldn't want to go easy on them and let every (or really any) challenger win on purpose. I would strive to, as much as possible, have the difficulty I am to challengers, levels my gym Pokemon are, and battle style and technique I use match up to the game and if necessary (and allowed) for stuff like battle style, the anime (But only since its the very first anime haha). So in summary, I have experience, I would strive to keep things balanced and true to the games, keep a mature and friendly gym environment and try to be a good example to other players through my own actions, and try to make sure everyone has fun in my gym! (Also quick question, would Gym Leaders also kind of serve as the mayors of their respective towns?)
(Gym Leader Only) Which Gym would you like to run (must be available)?: Saffron would be my first pick, but Sam said something about someone else possibly getting that position, so if you're gonna give that (or have already given it) to someone else, I would choose Celadon.
I finally get my act together, and get on the server expecting huge differences in the old start area, you know. Some kind of excellent mop up of the old builds, Making sure that chests that were previously full of food were empty, stuff like that. Brushfire didn't get a clean up, it looks like it got nuked. Gamma (The small settlement I, Mane Tenebras, built) has been less 'exploded', although it did age well in my opinion. I didn't bother checking my old base in the NC area -which contained 4 stacks of iron blocks, gained legally- because I have a good idea of what I would find.
Also, you should proofread the rule signs. And I quote "I think YOU'RE a radier!"
I almost died laughing at that.
Oh, and this is more a personal issue, but I can't seem to get the Texture pack to work. Probably just my derp.
I was really looking forward to seeing what's left of the NCR move into Gamma or something, or NC being VASTLY different... instead, it seems like copy pasta with explosion and vine sauce.
Mane out. *click*
EDIT: Well, I explored some more (Found my hideaway... was a giant underground hole cave.) and I like SOME things. I dun like the amount of stuff that just got blown up. Also, there is an area at X315 Z-388 with floating water, and there are floating fences near the old NCR capital.
EDIT 2: Got the texture pack working. Not sure what was up with that. Oh, and can I get a name change to Tawny_Tenebras please? I'm Aussie, so chances of me being on when an admin is are low.
Ok so let me just start out by saying that this is still just Soft Release. We welcome any criticism and aim to fix stuff wrong found by you guys for the full release. So, with the chest, the map is huge, and there's so many crevices and hide always and everything it was impossible for us few to find. So players should report any chest that were obviously left from the last server to a staff member, and not take from them. Brushfire was destroyed because literally everyone wanted it destroyed lol xD And yea Gamma was the first thing I did so it came out more exoded than abandoned, but we're gonna add some more in depth lore about what happened to certain places like Gamma. There is more work for us to do to NC when we to back down but we were never planning to completely overhaul or redo NC. Oh and Gamma is part of our town system (not yet on the op) were we have abandoned towns set and people can apply to own them and fix them up. Also, our Admin is actually Australian haha
First off, let me just say something: please stop acting like you still run the server and have authority over everyone. You just heavily give off that air, especially through little things you say here and there. Now, I, nor Twizz or anyone, can do anything without names, screenshots would help to if you took any this will be dealt with of course though, just as your private ridiculous RP was the other night. Thank you for bringing this to my attention
I agree that it does get used quite a bit, and im sorry if my character is un-original. You do not seem to see the context though, he rebelled against his parents, made some very bad choices, join a raider group, and killed everyone he loves, not to mention burned down the place he called home for 17 years. He isn't out for revenge, to start a new and he must start traveling because well, he cannot stay in a burnt down city owned by raiders. He becomes addicted to chems to constantly get his mind off of what he did, I assure you the character is not your average character and will bring diversity because of the way he acts, constantly in need of chems or alchohol. I thought it would be a lovely character to RP as for a bit of fun. Now if you really would like me to edit his story in a way you seem fitting I can do just that.
Hi, I actually thought the way you did the whole parents dying thing in your app was fine, and though this is bad, I didn't even know about the whole "no parents dying" rule. Unless Twizz isn't ok with me doing this when he gets on (though he should be) then I'm gonna go ahead and accept you. Welcome to the Chicago wasteland
Side note:
For those who are racist because a man is a Arabic-American understand that because he is Arabic in skin he has never lived there nor did his great grand parents so he is american. He has american speech patterns. the only things that connect him are his skin and his faith so please get your filthily heads out of the gutter
Hi, erm, whats up with that side note? No one has even responded to you here, but no one has certainly ever been racist about your character, and your rant there is kind of uncalled for. No ones heads are in the gutter. I'm sorry is you're Arabic and took something someone said somewhere about your character as being racist, but I assure you, know one was intending to be racist and offend you. Anyways, on to the app.
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to deny you. While its nothing against your characters ethnicity, your character does seem very over the top, and a bit ridiculous. If you could reign it in a bit, that would be great, Your bio is also pretty short, especially for the character your trying to make here. Please make it longer, expand on some stuff, and add more of our lore into it as well. And could you please include how you have that bus in your traveling caravan? Its just something that I feel should be explained a bit more Going with what you put as your reason for joining as well, it does not seem like you are taking the app seriously.
Hey everyone! Our first official RP soft release will happen tonight!! I will probably not be on for the start of it, but hopefully Twizz will be. Even if he isn't though, our moderators will be able to open it up and whitelist everyone so we don't have to wait to late. We hope to feel you all on this weekend!!
Please... just please re-read the rules and fix what it tells you to put in your app that your leaving out....To everyone else: We are super busy rushing to get everything ready for THE SOFT RELEASE THIS SATURDAY!!!
I promise I or someone else will get to apps very soon!
Well hello random person! This was a while ago, and I wasn't just starting to come in here when it happened, but I'm pretty sure it was because he didn't support the new ownership
Exciting news everyone! We are planning on doing a soft release THIS FRIDAY!!! Now, this isn't any ordinary soft release- We will have the entire Chicago Wasteland open and ready to play on! The soft release will last on weekends until we are ready to do a full release, and we will be working on the other 2 areas (Dog City (Denver) CO, and New Anaconda, Indiana) during the weekdays. We hope to get a lot more apps in by then so we have can have a good turn out for the first weekend of soft release!
I'm new to the whole Fallout server seen, but I'm looking to (and have enough time) to be involved in one other Fallout project besides my own, so if you want it I would be happy to help in any way possible! At least help you get it started, I'm looking to be really active in the community now that I'm helping run a server

Also I think the Pokemon mod doesn't even have that tier, so if you want me to change the Pokemon I can. Sorry if it went on too long there or didn't make sense in some areas, or made me seem to powerful. I would also be more than happy to change those things (or, of course, anything you would deny me for) if they are there.
Gym Leader App
How often can you be on?: Honestly, my schedule fluctuates and changes a lot and can be unpredictable, especially with what I feel like doing that day. But it would probably normally be 2-3 hours minimum during weekdays, and I honestly don't know what a good estimate for weekends would be, but normally a lot more than 2-3 hours. In short, I can be pretty active, especially while my server is down for building between our soft-release weekends (were the server is only up for players and rp during the weekends, instead of always being up 24/7 like it has been for the past few weeks. We go back down on sunday, so next week I would be able to be pretty darn active if you guys are released then).
What experience do you have in a position like this?: Well, I co-own and run a Fallout roleplay server, and lead one of the 3 major factions on it. So I've got a good bit of experience in leading a faction, which I believe could translate to this and certainly help in doing this.
Why should you get the position?: Well, like I said Ive got some pretty good experience doing something like this on my own server, and I've always dreamed of being able to be a Gym Leader in an actual game, so this is something I'm REALLY interested in. I believe I've got good references in the staff and players of my server, so if you want to talk to any of them about me (especially Bluestudioes since he's involved here) feel free to! I believe I could run the gym pretty well, keep things within the Pokemon realm and possible, and of course fight fair and not try to overpower my challenger, since after all, we do want people to able to get badges, so trying to uber-train my gym leader Pokemon for the purpose of trying my hardest to defeat any and every challenger would not be something good to do of course, and it certainly isn't something I would do. Of course I wouldn't want to go easy on them and let every (or really any) challenger win on purpose. I would strive to, as much as possible, have the difficulty I am to challengers, levels my gym Pokemon are, and battle style and technique I use match up to the game and if necessary (and allowed) for stuff like battle style, the anime (But only since its the very first anime haha). So in summary, I have experience, I would strive to keep things balanced and true to the games, keep a mature and friendly gym environment and try to be a good example to other players through my own actions, and try to make sure everyone has fun in my gym! (Also quick question, would Gym Leaders also kind of serve as the mayors of their respective towns?)
(Gym Leader Only) Which Gym would you like to run (must be available)?: Saffron would be my first pick, but Sam said something about someone else possibly getting that position, so if you're gonna give that (or have already given it) to someone else, I would choose Celadon.

Ok so let me just start out by saying that this is still just Soft Release. We welcome any criticism and aim to fix stuff wrong found by you guys for the full release. So, with the chest, the map is huge, and there's so many crevices and hide always and everything it was impossible for us few to find. So players should report any chest that were obviously left from the last server to a staff member, and not take from them. Brushfire was destroyed because literally everyone wanted it destroyed lol xD And yea Gamma was the first thing I did so it came out more exoded than abandoned, but we're gonna add some more in depth lore about what happened to certain places like Gamma. There is more work for us to do to NC when we to back down but we were never planning to completely overhaul or redo NC. Oh and Gamma is part of our town system (not yet on the op) were we have abandoned towns set and people can apply to own them and fix them up. Also, our Admin is actually Australian haha

What? This is a server, and it requires much more than a "click" to log on.
Hi, I actually thought the way you did the whole parents dying thing in your app was fine, and though this is bad, I didn't even know about the whole "no parents dying" rule. Unless Twizz isn't ok with me doing this when he gets on (though he should be) then I'm gonna go ahead and accept you. Welcome to the Chicago wasteland
Hi, erm, whats up with that side note? No one has even responded to you here, but no one has certainly ever been racist about your character, and your rant there is kind of uncalled for. No ones heads are in the gutter. I'm sorry is you're Arabic and took something someone said somewhere about your character as being racist, but I assure you, know one was intending to be racist and offend you. Anyways, on to the app.
I'm sorry, but I'm gonna have to deny you. While its nothing against your characters ethnicity, your character does seem very over the top, and a bit ridiculous. If you could reign it in a bit, that would be great, Your bio is also pretty short, especially for the character your trying to make here. Please make it longer, expand on some stuff, and add more of our lore into it as well. And could you please include how you have that bus in your traveling caravan? Its just something that I feel should be explained a bit more

Adding a whole new area gives the server a whole new level of depth. There 2 separate yet connected places. Just read the lore

Well hello random person! This was a while ago, and I wasn't just starting to come in here when it happened, but I'm pretty sure it was because he didn't support the new ownership
You have a few blank sections there....
