Hi guys! This is Redd bringing back a (possibly very familiar) character, Frank Archer from the 2003 Fullmetal Alchemist anime! He's returning to Route with all of his memories intact (but not his Pokémon, money, and everything else as he'll loudly tell anyone who will listen), but his canon point has been slightly moved. Instead of being taken from right after the array went off in Liore, Archer is taken from pre-automail, which means he's missing half his body! What fun!! Thankfully for him, Johto magically fixed his body so there's that.

Archer is a sadistic, warmongering asshole who wants nothing more than to win glory on the battlefield. ...And take over Johto because he's a melodramatic villain like that. He's in Team Rocket again and starting with a Pawniard and another Zubat because clearly his life doesn't suck enough as it is.

If you need to reach me, you can do so on plurk at pokerap. I look forward to threading with everyone again!

Yosh! Hello Route, Kattu here with character number three.

Sakura Haruno is a long time character of the animanga Naruto and will be joining the lovely cast that's grown here. Unlike everyone else though, she's from way in the future the latest chapter because I'm awful and will be full of spoilers for everyone she knows.

Isn't life just grand?

If her fellow castmates could help me out a bit in this post by saying what they're comfortable with their characters knowing, I'd be glad to keep the list handy of what she can say or can't say. There will be plenty of reason to keep certain things a secret (babby Sasu for one), but other things I'm not opposed to. I just want to play out what's comfortable for everyone else involved and it'll be a lot better for me if it's all in a single post for reference. Once I get a good idea of what's alright, I'll be getting an intro up. Any Johto/Kanto preferences would be great to know as well! If you need to get in touch with me, Plurk is the best way to go @ aozaki although private messages work well enough.

In Route, Sakura's going to be a trainer starting off with a Happiny because HER LIFE IS SO HAPPY cute tiny Pokemon that pack a punch are totally a thing for her. I'm really excited to be playing her again and hope everyone enjoys her as much as I do!

Kimblee, literally no one invited you

[explosivecombat]

Hey hey!

This is Dal again, I'm currently playing the social failball that is Kiyotaka Ishimaru - his journal name has been changed to ardent, but everything should redirect and everything should be fine on that front! (...apologies to anyone who's gotten tag notifs and gone "okay who the hell is this" over the last couple of days, as it didn't occur to me to actually, y'know, say anything until now. orz)

But that isn't the point of this post - I'm bringing a second character in today, one that may be at least passingly familiar to a good amount of you. This is Solf J Kimblee, from the Fullmetal Alchemist manga. He has a very gentlemanly demeanor externally, the sort to offer to carry your luggage and ask about your family and be good with your kids; he likes discussing philosophy and psychology, he has an interest in music and the finer things in life, he's always wearing a classy-as-hell suit + hat + gloves combo straight out of the 1910s, he's very polite in speech and mannerisms (...usually) and he's very aesthetically-centered, striving for the highest standard of beauty in the work that he does. "The work that he does" just happens to involve finding new and creative ways to destroy things via massive explosion, manipulating the hell out of everyone just to see what will happen, throwing spanners in everybody's works, and voluntarily letting himself be used as a human weapon of war just for kicks.

...yeah.

So! This psuedo-classy person-of-mass-destruction is returning post-canon (so he has all his spoilers) with all of his memories of his previous stay in Johto - and he was here for a year and a half, so he remembers a good amount. Like having a high ranking in Team Rocket. And being rich as hell. And having a ridiculously overpowered team of Pokémon and all eight badges and guess who's not going to be happy upon waking up as a grunt again, boy howdy. As a bit of a consolation prize, he's being reunited with his previous starter at level 30 - said starter being a Voltorb that he screwed up royally with the first time and hates him completely.

Clearly, Kimblee cannot start out with nice things, but that's okay! He'll be back to reminding everyone why he shouldn't be allowed to have nice things at all soon enough. (...and yes, he is not above pulling Seth out again, for those who remember that.)

If you need to reach me, AIM (AsylumBred) is probably your best bet, though I can also be PMed at this journal or poked on Plurk at InstantEternity - I don't usually add people on Plurk unless I know them, but private-plurking should be turned on. If it's not, please yell at me.

I look forward to threading with all of you again!

Oh man oh man I'm super excited.

Hellooooo everyone. My name's Rika and I'm brand new to the game.
 
I'm bringing in Jaime Reyes from Young Justice (Invasion)! He's a dork who likes superheroing and is kind of odd at times because it looks like he's talking to himself except that's really not the case since there's a hostile talking beetle attached to his spine...though now he's actually going to wonder why it's not talking back to him and where a giant monster beetle that looks mildly similar to it came from all of a sudden. But that aside! Jaime's a pretty good kid and is easy to get along with.

But yeah! I look forward to playing with you all. I'm also on plurk and on AIM (Annikerfaec) should you ever want to plot or anything.

Hi all! Ruth here, a semi-newbie to Route. I was here ages ago with Edmund Pevensie, and now I'm back with Ken Joshima from Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

He's a loud, abrasive fifteen year old who's going to be very annoyed about not being able to grow lion paws anymore, but maybe having a pet Growlithe will make up for that? He's coming in from the end of canon, so will hopefully have a touch more maturity than when he was going through his... unfortunate genocidal period. Hopefully.

I look forwards to playing with ya'll, and feel free to add me on plurk at thisgirlreads!

ALOOOOOOOHA. My name is Bayley, and I am BRAND NEW and super excited to be here! I've been around the RP scene for awhile but this is my first time at Route, and you can bet I'm stoked to explore the world of Pokemon and get to know you all!

With me, I'm bringing Lilo from Disney's Lilo & Stitch to the game. Lilo is something of a problem child with weird hobbies (voodoo, for instance), a spirited personality, and VERY STRONG OPINIONS on family. Her best friend and pet is also an alien, but that's another story! Lilo is going to find herself two years older in Route, and her starter Pokemon is Lotad. She is going to so be down with this whole adventure and no adult supervision thing. Even if she might miss her little family a bit. :')

I'm really looking forward to getting into the game! (And I'm not sorry if I just got a High School Musical song stuck in your head.) Feel free to add me on Plurk at cinematic, as well! I love meeting new people, so let's do this thing.
