Characters are the main foundation of an RP, therefore, it is only necessary to enforce a few conditions to make them the charming lovable things that we use and manipulate. Here in the Lasal Region, there are two types of characters that you may use. Namely...
Humans
Pokemorphs
Pokemon
Each one will be discussed in depth, however, there are a few similarities that all of them have. Also, be aware that you are only allowed four characters in the beginning. This is to ensure that the you are able to use all of your characters, before you go off and make new ones. When its obvious that you can handle all your characters, you'll be granted more characters.
1. Your character should have a name;
Everyone has a name, right? Whether it be his/her real name, it doesn't really matter. As long the person will actually know it was he/she being addressed. Your character can also have a fake name. Being secretive and what not, he/she may not want everyone to him. Secret agent blah blah.
You can also link this with a nickname that your character wants to be called.
2. Characters have ages;
Makes sense, right? Each type of character ages differently from one another though. Humans may count by years, while pokemon may simply depend on looking at themselves and see whether they have reached adulthood.
3. Personality;
I just want to see this in the character's biography. There are no rules that apply to this, except personalities that make no sense anyway. Your character can be happy, adventurous, solemn or whatever you can think of. Be creative.
4. Appearance;
Again, be creative. Describe height, weight, build, clothes and everything else that has anything to do with physical appearance.
5. History;
So what's your character about? did he/she have some sort of dark past? Explain it here. You could link your character's personality with his/her background. Like, the guy was in juvenile prison, so he's some sort of bad-ass. :) Up to you really.

Human Characters
- This bit focuses on human characters, if your not looking to make any human characters, then better look at the other posts concerning humans. Everything below concerns the use and limits of human characters.
Name
The name of one's character must consist of a first name and a last name. Also, please try not to overuse japanese names.
Age
The characters must at least be aged 16 in order to be accepted. Kids aren't really meant to go out by themselves and face the dangers of the pokemon world. A kid character will only be accepted when they are accompanied by an adult. But that makes 2 characters, kay?
Gender
Male or Female. Simple ain't it? You may also include your character's orientation. Whether straight, gay, lesbian, bi, etc., it is allowed.
Hometown
Characters may or may not have been born in the Lasal region, so they had to come somewhere, right? They could've come from one of the cannon regions such as Kanto or Johto. They could've also come from other regions that also have pokemon. Which means even from our very own affiliates and other places. Don't simply invent some place though.
Occupation
People here actually have jobs. These include being Trainers, Breeders, Coordinators, Students, Gym Leaders, and many other jobs. This simply explains what they do with their time and where they can be found. Feel free to have your character do other jobs as Rangers, Shop owners, and etc.
Appearance
Be sure to put clothes on them, lol.
History
Your character's history could also include where they had lived, or where they had captured their pokemon. It could provide us with extra information of what your character used to do before arriving at the Lasal region.
Pokemon
When submitting your character, you should place in what pokemon they have, though if your starting with a new trainer, you can leave this blank. The max amount of pokemon you can have when first submitting your character is 10. So that's six in your current team, plus four more in your pc. Once accepted, you can change this to a link at the storage system.

Pokemorph Characters
- As each type of character may have different parts in their biography, it is only necessary to explain them. This part focuses on Pokemorph characters. Although you should know that when your planning to create a pokemorph character, please send me a pm with the following information.
[b]Have your used a pokemorph before? Where?[/b]
[b]Why would you like to have a pokemorph character?[/b]
[b]Do you understand that pokemorphs cannot use their abilities in battle or fights?[/b]
-insert pokemorph character's full profile here-
Name
The name of one's character must consist of a first name and a last name. Also, please try not to overuse japanese names. You may also include a nickname if you want.
Species
Pokemorphs are only allowed one specie of pokemon for his/her DNA. It seems that when a hybrid pokemorph is produced, said beings seem to only be able to live at the most at five years before they spontaneously combust.
Age
Human years.
Attacks
Pokemorphs may have a maximum of six attacks. However, at the beginning, the pokemorphs are allowed moves that it can learn by leveling up.
Gender
Male or Female. Simple ain't it? You may also include your character's orientation. Whether straight, gay, lesbian, bi, etc., it is allowed. When the pokemorph's gender is undetermined, you may still choose a gender that your pokemorph is referred as.
Appearance
Pokemorphs may be a shiny version of their pokemon counterpart, or a whole new array of colors. But please do refrain from using too many colors. Also, here, a Pokemorph is not a human simply adorning pokemon ears or tails. It is most likely that the pokemorph will be furred, scaly, metallic, dependent on the pokemon counterpart. There is realism here, and pokemorphs do have sharp teeth, claws, wings and whatever else that pokemon have.
History
Kindly explain here about how your character turned out to be a Pokemorph. Whether it is a birth defect, experimentation, a norm within a certain society, please do explain. And of course, include whatever it is that your character has been doing before reaching the region.
Limits
List down your character's limits here. Take note that, even though Pokemorphs have attacks, they can't really use them against others, and the attacks are weakened. For example, a fire type couldn't really use ember or flamethrower, maybe just let out some smoke trying. A water type could be a fast swimmer, but he/she can't use water gun.
Pokemon
A pokemorph may or may not be a trainer but they can still have pokemon. They may be companions, or the pokemon can even be kept in a pokeball. It is also possible that the pokemorph doesn't have a pokemon.
