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?

first activity check is currently underway. regardless of your green status, please be sure to check it out and make extra sure your characters make it safe and sound after the eighth of march.

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!
tbe: take two! is inspired by, but not associated with nintendo's pokemon franchise. the current skin was created by pharaoh leap using font icons primarily from ion icons and fonts from google fonts. banner art by vav of pixiv. characters, with the exception of canons from the manga, belong to the members who write them, and all posts and templates on site are credited to their respective authors and artists. we claim nothing that is not ours.
Lane's a Marine Biologist that's believed to have died in a suicide mission for the Aqua Gang. Articuno took over Laney's body as an act of mercy, and now Articuno is here and honestly just trying to understand the current sitewide situation and survive. Laney? Kinda there. Mostly hanging out in the bird's subconscious as a passive personality. [break][break]
Finding sanctuary and information with The Crown, Articuno is gearing to help the innocent & achieve the drastic change they believe the world needs. With Laney's subtle influence for the radical side being a bad influence for our blue birb.

Laney's out of touch with her friends. This kind of workaholic with no patience or time for drama has a hard time keeping friends, assuming she can make them. Articuno taking over their body makes it harder to connect via technology, since the bird finds such methods of communication trivial at best.[break][break]
Despite that, Articuno is eager for camaraderie and strength in numbers. Friends they can trust are sorely desired, but difficult to come by. This legend will definitely be acting as Lane, though over time, the bird will find themselves growing into Lane's personality. Kinda hoping for fellow researchers/coworkers to have antics with the bird. Also having characters teach them new things/be a bad influence would be great. It'd also be nice to have Lane learn to be friends with someone with drastically different beliefs because that would piss them off so much and honestly Lane is super immature when it comes to things like that.
[attr="class","conectscrol"]
[attr="class","conectleft"]ENEMIES
my first thought is: moltres + zapdos my birb is super uncomfortable around you bc of manga canon. they could tolerate them in the manga but the region's recent destruction brought all sorts of bad memories and Articuno is not going to become some rogue science experiment again. [break][break]
Also Lane is terrible with people with conflicting views, and that intense disgust/defensiveness carries over today. I'm pretty sure most political discussions could easily turn into a heated argument. They're also not good with super huggy/clingy characters so tentative friendship can easily turn into discomfort + avoidance if that isn't addressed.
[attr="class","conectscrol"]
[attr="class","conectleft"]LOVERS
I gotta admit, this has the potential to be absolutely heart breaking. If Lane feels some kinda attraction to another person, is it genuine or is it Articuno's feelings? How would it even work between other legendaries? Would they experience romance in the same way as people? I'm very open to Lane having one-sided affections for another character, with Articuno butting in and going 'pls they're like a thousand years too young calm down'.
IDK how much of that makes sense. but lane-articuno have that internal dissonance going on and the two blur together.

I DEMAND angry Laney/Nerea threads in which Nerea tsuns at Laney (or as much as she can tsun, which is very little, more like she kuus at her) for stealing Olivia away from her and throwing her at the fangs of danger and getting them both killed, you foolish scientist, she warned her not to go. Maybe it's just a calm, peaceful night at camp and they just happen to cross paths.
The girl clearly has attachment issues and bickering, even if one-sided, between the two lady commanders would be kind of cute, don't you think? The best part is articuno would be so confused and consider this petty human to be simply annoying and just :') thread with me, Tute, give me the threads you never gave me WHEN I WAS TRYING TO TROLL YOU.
Post by Akemi Ocasio on Jan 12, 2017 21:02:22 GMT -6
Laney Delano + Akemi So. I have it in my head, especially after reading your post in the Crowns thread, that Akemi knows perfectly well that Laney is Articuno, and has simply forgotten to mention that they're actually Celebi. So Akemi is hanging out and everyone's just like "who is this really weird kid, they're clearly magical or something but ??". They're not even wilfully hiding! Heck, they like the big blue bird, they helped Akemi out a little bit before! Akemi just probably assumed Laney knew when... no... no not at all... Akemi you're doing the thing again... Beyond that: Akemi is basically the weirdest not-actually-a-child ever and could totally be the worst influence on Articuno, due to their tendency to forget which things belong in which eras if asked directly. This would not help Articuno figure out what's going on. Nor would Akemi's occasional accidental timeline-hopping to the future, given that there's a high likelihood, when hopping through time, that Akemi will accidentally hit things that will now never happen, and...
...It will be a confusing mess and it will be glorious. What do you say?
TUTE. TUTE WHY aren't you talking to me. Tute talk to me. Tute stop trying to aesthetic and talk to me. Tute I will even offer you cute lesbians if you talk to me. I will also keep spamming your plotter until you talk to me. Tute. I thought you loved me. I will even personally arrange for Lamey to get a paper crown of her own, somehow. I promise. If not from Nerea, from someone else. (In all seriousness, I want to see her react to that.)
I am so for this for many reasons. Lane isn't going to understand WHY they feel this tension between them and Nerea, but it's there and Lane is going to contribute to it because "What we're here ALIVE in the flesh aren't we? Can't handle being WRONG? Maybe you'd like a little science lesson in not being a bit--" ...anyways.
And this is how they'd bicker probably? very passive aggressive and not totally cooperative, but damn if Olivia Valentine Mahgaden doesn't reel them in to complete missions together. Articuno just wants everyone 2 be honest but doesn't care enough to be polite so shit like this happens. :^ ) We should still do the paper crown thing in an attempt for them to get along and be friends, but the two just kinda tsun around it. I THINK THEY SHOULD EVENTUALLY BECOME FRIENDS but it needs to have this rocky road.
and how dare you lure me in with lesbians you vile temptress!!!! i swear i didn't post bc you mentioned lesbians I SWEAR.
HI!!! I'm so happy you replied here because I was totally eager to send you a PM or haunt your plotter. I'm super excited about all these timey-wimey shenanigans where Lane has absolutely no idea what Akemi is talking about, only for it to dawn on them MUCH MUCH later and they just stare at Akemi in absolute wonder. I want Articuno to figure it out and have that dawning moment but until then they're just like "what is this CHILD and how do they know more than ME, who lived MANY MANY YEARS?? >: (((( "
Sign me up for this glorious mess. I also think specifically because Akemi looks so young that Lane is going to let their guard down around them and be nicer to them. Children are easier to understand than adults, which is Articuno's logic. Except this is Akemi and there is nothing easy to understand about this situation LOL.
I'd love a 1 on 1 thread somewhere to see how we can build on that.
Post by Akemi Ocasio on Jan 13, 2017 0:06:49 GMT -6
Laney Delano + Akemi I love this. And Akemi's just not going to notice that they're confusing, basically, because they do this literally all the time? Akemi does look (and often act) pretty young, too. It's part coping mechanism, probably part whatever tiny shard of their human's personality they collected, and mostly just Akemi's weird personality. Children should be easier to understand than adults? Articuno. Articuno. Have you ever tried t actually play with a young child before they are baffling and also glorious.
Anyway, yes, we should 1 on 1 thread, do you want to start something or should I?
Post by Laney Delano on Jan 13, 2017 0:37:18 GMT -6
Akemi Ocasio LOL Other than the pokedex kids setting the bar pretty high, I'm gonna assume no...this bird is in for a surprise.
I can start a thread either tomorrow or the day after! Mostly bc I work late hours tomorrow so writing can be tricky. Any preference for the setting? I was thinking of having Lane do some chores around camp and bump into Akemi, or maybe have them do something related to the IM thread? I'm up for anything!
ALSO. ARTICUNO'S GOT SASS. I LIKE IT. We definitely need the rocky start and not simply because I love bickering and it's super fun but also because I wasn't aware your aesthetic was so... pedophilic. Tute, please. We'll have to figure out a way for Nerea to actually notice Lamey wants a crown of her own because she isn't perceptive enough to notice this during the coronation, not with most of her active neurons being focused on how uncomfortable the clothes are and how conflicted she feels about it, but seeing as the group itself is called the Crown and the thematic's going to be recurrent there should be plenty of opportunities for this over time. Over a long, long time, which hopefully is just as long as their differences will stay. I want all of the conflict!
Last but not least, and I'm sorry if this isn't all that relevant for their current setting, but if Lamey ever decides to retire, ERIN CAULFIELD will gladly welcome her back at you know where. #TeamAquarium will never die. (What is dead may never die.) That, and there's an AU board shhh.
??". They're not even wilfully hiding! Heck, they like the big blue bird, they helped Akemi out a little bit before! Akemi just probably assumed Laney knew when... no... no not at all...
