MUN
Name: Alex
Timezone: EST
Contact: Talk to me here or PM any of my character journals!
What you're looking for: I LOVE BANTER. Also shenanigans, facilitating characters doing badass things, and just generally finding neat methods for characters to interact with the Pokemon world in fun and interesting ways.

Character
Name + Journal + Series: Yagyuu Hiroshi (usedlaserbeam) • Prince of Tennis
Location: Goldenrod City as always, in the Tennis Haus

Blurb: Canonically, Yagyuu is a fifteen-year-old member of the Rikkaidai Fuzoku tennis club regulars, which means he is both Very Good at tennis and will also put you in traction without hesitation if it means the difference between victory and defeat. On the surface he's called The Gentleman because of his pleasant and affable demeanor, but this is also the guy who tricked a fellow middle-schooler to taking a high-speed tennis ball to the face and then taunted him about it with his own catchphrase while they were taking him out on a stretcher. Routewise, he's now sixteen and in the absence of his team and tennis he's begun to mellow out a little, but he's still got a fair penchant for assholery if he's given the chance. Also, he is the despairing owner of sixteen Eevees because I like making his life terrible.

Plans: Not much! He's hit his box limit of 54 Pokemon so there isn't much for him to do by way of that, but I'm hoping to have an egg sale sometime between now and Christmas if anyone is interested in picking up something he's got in his roster. Also he could always use some more people to talk to because, y'know, CR is awesome.


Name + Journal + Series: Carmen Sandiego (doitrockapella) • Where On Earth Is Carmen Sandiego?
Location: I'LL NEVER TELL GDI Ecruteak City!

Blurb: The greatest thief who ever lived. Looks fabulous in red. Steals your shit and makes you learn things trying to get it back. Also has a Porygon2 by the name of Zack who frequents the network to tell puns and generally get love advice. Names her entire roster in the style of her VILE henchmen, terrible puns and all. Once stole Cobra Commander's bigass snake throne. Just recently defaced Mt. Mortar. Also rolls at a +5 against FBI agents.

Plans: Hopefully she'll be hitting the road again soon to head into Kanto for CR reunions and also Thanksgiving, but for the moment she's kind of a mess because Kiki just left and not even history can make it better. As usual, I'm always open to the idea of arranging a theft or some other big crime if people want to do something with that, or if there's something her thieving skills would be good for re: facilitating someone else's shenanigans, please let me know and I'd be happy to discuss options. o/


Name + Journal + Series: Albert Rosenfield (worktodo) • Twin Peaks
Location: Saffron City, on the Justice Farm of SCIENCE!!

Blurb: Albert is a cranky FBI agent from 1989 who is a forensic pathologist and also hates just about everything in the world because he is secretly a massive idealist and staunch pacifist and very few people meet his exceedingly high standards. Also he is very smart and loves his Pokemon very much despite giving them the most terrible names known to man.

Plans: ALL THE PLANS. For CR of his, Albert's hosting Thanksgiving at the Justice Farm so get your asses in gear toward Saffron and crash his party and infuriate him by sleeping on all his couches and shit. Hopefully he'll be able to make an IC announcement about it sometime this week but if god forbid I fail at that, PEOPLE ARE INVITED. Also the first phase of his plans for doing SCIENCE!! to Pokemon battles are about to come to fruition, so ANY SCIENCEY-TYPES who want to make a pilgrimage to Saffron and shack up at his house to help him build science shit and play Mythbusters and generally DO SCIENCE!!, hit me up and we'll work something out. He has lots of rooms and bunk beds in all of them. YEAH.

...You have a detective turned awesome thief. I have a war hero turned awesome pirate. I think we could do something with that.

[doitrockapella]

hahahaha sob and she's progressively going back toward detective again CARMEN WHAT ARE YOUR CAREER CHOICES

I do like pirates, though. What've you got in mind? c:

[paladinlost]

Since his specialty is stealing information and materials that might cause heavy casualties, he'll be very interested once he hears that someone managed to steal from a member of the local crime syndicate. How do you feel about politely nosy gentlemen?

[doitrockapella]

Well, finding out about the Great Chair Theft is pretty doable, considering the tantrum that followed was really public and it's basically the gift that keeps on giving, running-joke-wise: a ton of people know about it and the information comes up fairly frequently.

The trickier part will be tracing it to Carmen in particular, just because of the way she's played the scenario ever since. She doesn't deny that she was the one who did it and she's said or made allusions to doing it on the network before, but she's also fairly careful about making sure it can't just be linked right to her, out of a desire to keep her traveling group from ending up on the wrong end of someone's retaliation because of her.

...also there's a whole extra layer of hilarious complication now because Cobra thinks she's a male Spanish thief who goes by the name of El Zorua so y'know, shenanigans aplenty all around.

Basically, I don't mind him nosing around at all, and I'm happy to work with you if you want to have him get curious about the whole business, but he'll have to do some legwork at it and the way he goes about it will probably affect how she reacts to it. o/

[paladinlost]

Ash wouldn't exactly try to trace it to Carmen or anyone in particular, so to speak; since the people here come from so many worlds and the thief's identity would not endanger his family even if they showed up it wouldn't be his priority. The part that would truly interest him is a)whether that person still present in Johto and b)what else was there beyond that sweet, sweet chair*. Which is the kind of info that could (not so) easily be obtained from an anonymous person on the network or from the very male and dashing El Zorua if needed.

Besides, he knows damn well the advantages of anonymity and fake identities. This is a guy who didn't tell his family he was alive for thirteen years so they wouldn't get in trouble. He even got an haircut and a new paint job for his giant robot! So no rude prying about other people's names and stories, thank you. He'll be polite and businesslike and rather admiring, because wow pulling that off without the resources thieves generally have in their own worlds.

*His own is still totally better, though.

[doitrockapella]

Oh, that works, then! I wasn't entirely sure what precisely you were looking for re: nosing, but that clears a lot up. I really would like to have her pull more heists for people to remark upon, but her development has sufficiently advanced such that it's a little trickier than just "I'm bored, let's go take something" these days.

But sure, I'm all for Ash doing some snooping, and she does have Zack monitoring the network for her, so if Ash were to put out an inquiry, for example, about the thief or the heist or whatever, there's a good chance she might turn up. Though he also might attract Cobra to scream at him about vengeance and snake thrones, but hey, such are the hazards of the job. Or if you had a different idea in mind, I'm all ears!

[paladinlost]

Getting them properly motivated is always the problem, isn't it? Goodness knows Ash won't do any heavy pirating until he sees Team Rocket's actions for himself, and even then he will Ponder How To Protect In This World first. Though heists would get his attention no matter what, thankfully. (...And so would Cobra's screaming, for that matter. His dad is very good at screaming about vengeance, too.)
