TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

we're officially re-opened! come check out our event, the pokeathlon forever to enjoy some fresh restart activities. let leap know if there are any skin bugs, and they'll be sorted out accordingly!
Care to hear about our lord and savior Operation: Mindcrime? In all seriousness: Hello, hello! I'm Pharaoh Leap – or just Leap – local head admin and rock opera enthusiast. On the rare chance you catch me in a time when I'm not bawling about characters entirely written into song, you may see me actually doing work around the site, like skinning, making too many characters, and encouraging others to also make too many characters. I only know how to write angst, and in no fewer than six trillion words an app or post, so if you like dying while reading like I like dying while writing, I'm the girl for you. ;o
Howdy guys! The names Astro and I am your resident Brit & Red muse (you'll honestly see me more on him than any of my other characters). I'm a moderator and my main job is to make sure everything is running smoothly so the Admins can focus on other things, you'll often see me within the apps and shops, etc when I'm not on Red. What can I say about myself? Apart from being a Red fanboy I like music and games and yaoi huehue, I honestly never now what to put into these sort of things but ohwell, I'm more of a "ask me and I'll tell" sorta guy. Anyway, from my personally I hope that you enjoy the site and what we produce here but also if you're new, please look around and if you like what you see please consider joining for rad plots that everyone gives! :D
Hey there~ Nano over here! I uh.. Wait, I'm doing this right, right? Bleh. So I'm a moderator over here - fun, fun - who kind of just.. Keeps an eye on everyone. You know, the whole app thing and what not. Uh.. Lets see.. When I'm not doing school work (because I may or may not be trying to be a good student) I'm probably storming up new ideas like events and etc. Or plots. Plots are always good, too. As you can see, I uh.. Have the horrible habit of making way too many characters. I swear, I was tempted with plots, ships and angst. It's like, the holy trinity. Uh.. What else is there about me? Oh, right! Please excuse my obnoxiousness. I'm just really loud in general so don't be surprised if I start screaming as loudly as I can caps. So yeah. Nice meeting you!

Silver was looking like he was in a world of bliss. Why? Well, obviously because he just bought himself a nice ice cream cone! Ahhh, how he couldn't wait to dig in. The first, savory lick as the taste would melt on his tongue. Ohhhhh, how he loved it! Silver had found himself a fancier of ice cream, so it was no surprise he would be seen getting one for himself from time to time. Sure, a lot of people may stop him on the day due to his status, seeing as many people apparently knew who he was, but it was ice cream he was after. Usually he made any meetings rather brief as well.
Just as Silver was about to take that first, lovely taste someone bumped him and next thing he knew, his beloved ice cream was now a splat on the ground. With a distraught look he slowly sunk to his knees and mourned over the loss of his beloved ice cream. Next to him his Weavile gave a rather exasperated look, but sighed and gently pat Silver on the back while attempting to reassure the trainer as he mourned his loss. Goodness, did he ever look pathetic.
"It was just a fresh ice cream. It didn't need to go so soon..." He commented, still on the ground while he spoke. Weavile rolled his eyes, but continued to comfort Silver until finally Silver stood, looking around for whoever it may have been who caused him to drop the ice cream. He was about ready to give someone a piece of his mind at this point!

[attr="class","greatdeception"]Morgan was, as one could expect, walking down the street. Why? Hell if she knew, she was just here and honestly speaking she could care less why. She had a pair of Aegis Corp. headphones around her neck, her hood pulled up as usual as she stuffed her hands into the pockets of her hoodie, pulling the right one back out a few moments later to check her messages as the other hand came out with one of the seemingly-infinite chocolate-covered biscuit sticks that she kept on hand. She placed the treat in her mouth idly, returning her left hand to the pocket as she calmly munched on the new acquisition, opening her messaging app with her other hand and tapping her sister's big face on the screen. As usual, Melody's messages were related to the recent string of happenings that had been going on. Some new theatre or whatever here in Eirenhyre, the bouts of vandalism that had cropped up shortly after. Morgan tended to tune it all out, preferring to stick to her gaming events and the occasional business meeting when she could be bothered to show up at the headquarters building in Eirenhyre- or rather the office that was functioning as such. Morgan had long lamented the loss of the true HQ, but that would be restored in due time. She tapped a message back to her sister, 'something something keep me updated' or whatever. What, was she supposed to be paying close attention? She was eating, that alone was taking most of her focus... that and the dipshit brooding internally within her, but she was finding it easy enough to ignore Darkrai right now. He kind of stopped talking whenever she was in this city... most of the time. She still heard his stupid voice every once in a while.
Granted that meant she was distracted enough that she didn't notice the red-haired chick until she looked right up at them. Morgan just kind of stared for a few moments. Huh... she's kind of cute, Morgan mused silently to herself as she pulled the rest of the Hocky stick into her mouth, chewing on it for a moment before swallowing.
Well, whoever it had been that bumped him, they seemed to ignore Silver and just march off on some grand adventure. Silver scoffed, cussing them out for a moment under his breath before his eyes went to someone else approaching. They walked up and spoke, an easy and simply greeting from the woman who had appeared. "Besides my lost ice cream, nothing..." He commented, still sounding quite bitter over the fact. Sure it was no use crying over spilled milk, but Silver's metaphorical milk was spilled about ninety percent of the time he got a cone, he swore by it!
Weaver, as the Weavile had been dubbed a couple years back, stood beside Silver. Although the woman seemed to give off this vibe, a foreboding one that made the Weavile's fur stand up along his neck a bit. Still, until she proved threat or not, Weaver forced the feeling down and had his fur lay smoothly again. He'd wait to judge based on actions.
Silver initially had to wonder what anyone would approach him, until he recalled one main reason to expect. As a dex holder, it meant he was reasonably well known, a fact Silver honestly wasn't too fond of. He just didn't exactly like the idea of being bothered so often, much less by fans. So it could get a bit annoying when he was swarmed by girls in certain places. Unlike Gold, who seemed to enjoy that. Just thinking of his flirtatious friend paying attention to them, and not him was even more annoying to Silver.
With a small sight and repressing that ticked off feeling from thinking of Gold's antics, Silver swallowed it all down and finally spoke up again. "Is there... Any specific reason you approached me, or...?" He asked, not wanting to exactly sound like he was picking a fight, but also not wanting to give the vibe he was just going to play Mr. Nice Guy if she had some wild, expectant favor.

[attr="class","greatdeception"]"Nah, not really. I was just walking and looked up and there you were. Figured it'd be rude of me not to say hi," she stated nonchalantly, taking another stick of Hocky from her pocket and beginning to eat it just as she had the last: hands-free. It was a feat she'd developed during her many sessions of gaming, and a fair number of those who stuck around to watch the process had a tendency to be mildly impressed by it. She kind of just did it because it was easier at this point. She hadn't even glanced down when the girl had mentioned the cone, though judging by the voice Morgan had a feeling her initial assumption had been wrong, and she was just staring at a very feminine-looking man.
Still doesn't stop me from wanting to see him in a dress. Morgan, please. Your pan is showing, and I'm frankly almost shameful of it. Shut up, you. You're going to provoke the Weavile.
Aaaaand down went the Hocky. Morgan glanced down at the Weavile in question, the faintest bit of teal showing in her pupils as a message went through the air to the smaller Pokemon. Though she may not be telepathic, being host to Darkrai meant she was privy to a few strange abilities. She may not be able to communicate with humans without speaking, but Pokemon could sense the natural presence that she gave off as a result of the Pitch-Black Pokemon. And in that small area she'd noticed that she could send a few choice messages. Nothing more than single words or emotions... like now.
Expectation.
You know what lurks within me, don't you? She thought. Darkrai had long told her that speaking to herself when she did this was a fool's errand, but she did it anyway just to annoy him. She looked back up at Silver, the teal in her eyes vanishing instantly as she pulled yet another biscuit stick from her pocket. It was habit, and quite frankly she never quite knew when she was munching or not anymore.
"Alongside not being rude, though. My name is Morgan Aegis," she stated simply, her right hand returning er phone to the corresponding pocket as she spoke.
Silver simply have a huff as the woman mentioned her reason for approached, but he didn't really pay it heed too much in the end. Well, she was here and that was all there was to it now. Still, he didn't really like the fact his poor ice cream had to pay the price yet again. He took a moment while it was still silent to contemplate this all, meanwhile it seemed Weaver was now the focus of the woman for a moment while Silver was distracted, deep in thought for a brief amount of time.
Weaver was confronted, and with slightly narrowed eyes he simply gave a very slight nod, still keeping near Silver to make sure he was going to be okay. He wasn't keen on this, but if there was no threat, he'd be fine with things as they were. Once the attention was back onto Silver, who now was done with his little session, Weaver put himself into a more neutral look so Silver didn't pick up on anything.
When the woman introduced herself, as Morgan, Silver of course returned the favor. "Silver." He stated simply, adding nothing else onto it as he just looked over the woman before him. Well, whoever she was, she was interesting to say the least and seemed rather laid back.

[attr="class","greatdeception"]"Silver? As in the Dex Holder?" Morgan questioned, her gaze changing only slightly as she eyed the male in front of her with that same unchanging expression. Her crimson eyes regarded him carefully, examining him slightly as she looked him over. He certainly seemed to hold himself with the confidence that one would expect out of a Dex Holder, but considering the cone currently on the ground between them she'd never taken this one in particular as one who was a fan of ice cream.
Granted, she'd never suspected she'd get to met one of them anyway. "Ah, I suppose I should introduce myself a tad more properly in that case," she nodded to herself before taking a deep breath. Her stance didn't change, but when she reopened her eyes the gaze beheld within them seemed a fair bit sharper, more observant than the casual disinterest they'd shown before. "I'm Morgan Aegis, professional gamer and the current CEO of the Aegis Corporation. Forgive me for not taking the time to introduce myself properly in the first place," she said, her words spoken with a bit of practiced elegance to them. Much as she herself would've preferred it not to be, her upbringing and the mannerisms instilled in her still shone through whenever she sought to do things in a more proper manner, such as now. That said, while the Aegis family had indeed started their fortune within Lyeant, a number of their larger enterprises were all based in Unova, Sinnoh and Hoenn. Regions which were thankfully relatively unscathed after Imum.
Of course, relevealing that she was the CEO of the Aegis Corporation, which had specialized in high-end gaming gear, eSports merch and various tech components for a multitude of years now, ran the risk of her being outright associated with Parallax. While that wasn't necessarily false, she had a tendency to disagree with a number of her peers as far as how the corporations should seek to rebuild the region.
When the woman seemed to recognize him his heart skipped a beat and he reluctantly nodded. "Yeah, yeah, just keep it on the down-low, okay?" He said through clenched teeth as he glanced around. "It's already annoying as is getting public attention over the fact. I can only deal with so many people in a single day." He brought up, looking relieved when nobody seemed to turn any heads of approach. Good. Silver didn't exactly like the idea of just being the center of attention. He would let Gold handle that, since the man seemed to enjoy the attention. Especially from girls. The thought of that giving Silver a sour taste in his mouth and an odd feeling in his chest.
When the woman introduced herself in a more proper manner he just gave a small, casual wave. "Don't worry about that. Who we are has to do more with how we choose to live and be, rather than what we're born into or anything." He mentioned with a small sigh. Something Silver knew all too well due to the fact he was son of Giovanni. It was tough carrying that around. Still, Silver sough to become better than his father and in turn, seek to turn his father from the life of criminal activity he lived. If he could do that, then it meant anyone could change. Yet, he had to get stronger. Be strong enough to defeat his father. Perhaps some day he would, anyway.
At this point, Silver didn't exactly think of anything else. He looked around at random on-goings before attention snapped back to Morgan. "Well, uh... Nice meeting you, I guess. Er, maybe we'll meet again or something." He mentioned, sounding like he wasn't even sure what was going on after this. But it was better than just having a random chat with no real productivity outside of that. At that point he sighed, turning away and looking ready to leave.
