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!

here's a brief explanation of how to use this template! all placeholder images list the dimensions, although all images will automatically resize to their appropriate size, so long as they are a perfect square image. this section here is reserved for a blurb about your character's relationship status in more detail. if you're taken, let us know who! if you're looking for a partner, tell us a bit about your ideal life mate! if you're looking for some flings, that works, too! so long as you put something, you'll be fine. even if your character is not looking for more romance options, please post here, anyway, just so we can take inventory of who's with who! break paragraphs with double [*break] tags as usual.[break][break]
#2eb396 is the accent color and should not be changed in the css, but rather in the html itself. you'll see ' style="color:#2eb396"'s throughout the code - replace the accent there, if you would like to do so, so as not to throw off everyone else's accent. "status" refers to your relationship status - taken, single, it's complicated, what have you. keep it short. [ 00 ] is reserved for your character's age in number. if they are seventeen, list [ 17 ]. the section below is for your character's relationships - friendships, enemies, lovers, the like. include anyone you think is of note. romance can happen with a friend-of-a-friend, although being friends with someone's mortal enemy may ruin your chances at a fling with them.

lorelei's profile
currently unavailable, thanks to a combination of being technically in a relationship with a certain mr. reagan , her inability to properly function in such romantic relationships generally, and a bizarre thing she has with her boss, lark szczepanski , albeit a touch one-sided on the latter's end. lorelei's relationship with reagan, despite being a ruse currently, is plotted to be end game, and she's definitely too ace for flings. sorry, folks.

garett's profile
single... but tragically not ready to mingle. in truth, the romantic pursuits have always been rather low on garett's priority list - not necessarily something he's outright tried to avoid or would shy away from if it struck him from behind, but not something he would actively seek when that time could be put to better use, like rescuing a litten from a tree or saving a child from a house fire or... well, you get the idea, don't you?[break][break]
what ultimately makes garett closed off to future arrangements is that he already has a future arrangement - just not one that he's necessarily gotten together with yet in the course of rp. others crushing on his stupidly heroic ways aren't out of the question, but when VERONICA STILINSKI 's, like, right there? yeah, nah, sorry ladies, you're tough outta luck.

alva's profile
*sucks in breath* whyyyyy would you want thisssssss.[break][break]
a cross-dresser for the sole reason that girl's fashion is better than boy's fashion, and gender constructs are an illusion. alva loves himself, first and foremost, although he supposes, if he were to meet a pretty girl (and only girl) who meets his high standards, he could make a little room for love for them in his heart. he's actually kind of an incorrigible flirt - which is tragically counteracted by the fact that most of the heterosexual women he specifically hits on end up mistaking him for a girl and shoot him down for that second, his bad attitude first - although he's never actually slept with anyone, and probably would fall way too in love with the first person to take him up on his wildly exaggerated offers.[break][break]
pretends to be a "cool kid" who gets to sleep with all of the hottest ladies around. is actually the kind of guy to pull out a keyboard in your front lawn and sing (read: sob) you cheesy serenades he wrote himself until three in the morning. definitely looking for a partner, though there probably isn't a person in the world looking for a partner like him.
● heartthrob outside, crybaby inside[break] ● pretends to be #too cool for you[break] ● doesn't actually know how to date

zach's profile
single, but not really looking for anything romantic. there are always excuses - oh, work is just so busy lately; or it would look bad for the association; or i just got out of a bad secret breakup - but the truth of the matter is that zachary has never dated and, knowing him, likely never will. when he was younger, he was head-over-heels for the girl that everyone wanted, albeit not for the same reasons (she had a killer body, rip) that most around him were, but as people tend to do, she left him to the dust, and he hasn't really felt the same spark for anyone else since... assuming he's even moved on from the first.[break][break]
despite his lack of experience in the genuine romantic pursuits, he's actually open to one-night-stands and the casual fling. while his research work is... lacking at best, the press likes to fawn over him and his very pretty face - being on trashy lists of "lyeant's most wanted bachelors" isn't exactly unheard of, with his appearance and his position - so it's not entirely unheard of for him to stave off the loneliness and eternal fountain of angst with something purely physical and non-committing. unfortunately, his bed is reserved only for the opposite gender, so even if you just wanna have a quick fling, you've gotta be a lady to get in!

sayuri's profile
has been taken since the dawn of time yet still amazingly has yet to be in an official relationship. also known as fox and hound shipping. somehow after the imum war, she managed to make backward progress in becoming a more confident, social, and trusting person. she doesn't have very many friends, but she loyally cherishes the few ones she has made, at least those who are still around and show their faces every once in a while. arceus knows she is rather fond of a certain umbreon gijinka friend named Sora Kei Adler and wouldn't be opposed to spending even more time with him.[break][break]
ace as can be for the simple reason that she just doesn't see those things as important in the slightest compared to things like friendship and trust, and is incapable of being sexually attracted to anyone or anything. obviously the concept of 'flings' are out of the question, even if she did know those existed. does not appreciate advances from others in the slightest, nor romantic gestures from pretty much anyone but sora, but may be gullible enough to mistake some things as innocent acts of friendship.

hataro's profile
no really, he doesn't like you, or anyone, if you're not LORELEI ACKERMANN and felix, who are good bro's. the only friends he plans to keep at his side indefinitely. i mean if you really wanna try, the best possible scenario is where he walks away apathetically. less-great outcomes involve some fists being thrown because he's not really a fan of getting buddy-buddy with others, and only gets along for the sake of any mission that benefits lorelei. worst case scenario is a bloody fight to the death~! he is about as ace/aro as they come.

jazzy's profile
Why the hell do you want this--[break][break]
Well.. Uh.. Yeah. So here's the Silph Co. CEO of Lyeant. See, Jazzy here is usually pretty composed. She can throw a flirt here and there and hell, she'll tease and compliment if she really thinks you deserve it. She's a good girl, through and through, if it weren't for the fact that she was in the mafia. But even then, she's still someone who you can work with, and she is someone you can make a casual conversation with. Even then, she's probably one of the snarkiest girls you'll run into. She's snarky, she's sassy but at the same time, comes off as fairly confident and charming. She's not a mess all the time-- Usually. Really depends on who she's talking to and depends on what the topic is about. Really depends. [break][break]
single, but she isn't looking for anything. Romantic or otherwise. But hell, she's been in a relationship for literally twenty years and yet the two of them still have yet to admit their feelings for each other. She's always been a work-o-holic, and so she doesn't often think too much on her love life and otherwise. However, that doesn't mean her parents don't try to get her into some arranged marriages and the like. Buuut it annoys her, so she usually ends up dating them for like.. A month or less before calling the arrangement off. [break][break]
She's been in love for nearly twenty years and counting, but she'll never admit that. Otherwise, she's pretty much given up on the fact that she'll get into a relationship for the sole reason that her pheromones make people love her. Like, she can be the biggest jerk to them and they'll still flock her (much to her irritation). That being said, she'll try to be a jerk, and probably fail at it the moment she loses her composure. RIP Jazzy, in that case. [break][break]
Yeah, she really, really isn't looking for anything. Mainly because she's already head over heels for Bai Hu Wang , but like hell will she ever admit it. The way she sees it is that he's not interested in her. Not in the slightest bit. Reasons why he gets as close as he does is both because he's comfortable with that and because pheromones push him to act that way. Or.. At least they encourage him. That's the reason why the majority of his advances are brushed asides and.. Ultimately? She just doesn't think he's interested. For the longest time, in the past, he had been sending her so many advances only for him to brush them off after her brushed them off. By now, she's actually tried to push herself away from that mindset of maybe. Rather, she's more or less convinced herself that he's just toying around and playing with her. Hurt her heart, yeah; hurts it like hell. But there's not much else she can assume.[break][break]
That being said; Flirt with her all you want; you're not gonna get anywhere.

nao's profile
God knows what you see in this girl. [break][break]
But what should be known is; Naomi's not looking for a relationship. Sure, she thinks that love is cute and she'll call the next person cute and hot. She's an opinionated woman who would more than gladly scream out "YOU'RE FRICKIN HOOOOOT" without a second thought. Does she mean it? Of course she does. But is she looking for anything romantic with anyone? Nope. If anything, she's more worried about the fact she.. Might not be able to take one. Like, mentally. She's the type to get really clingy. Like, really clingy, so there's that. [break][break]
That being said, Naomi herself has a really.. Developed body. Like, really. Too bad she isn't up for one night stands. Maybe if you caught her drunk it would be possible since by then, she'd actually be really, really meek and all that fun stuff. Though, that's assuming you can get by Yi Tao Hong , that one friend who pretty much sticks by and makes sure that she isn't doing anything stupid. He usually does a good job when she's wasted. When she's sober? Not so much.

vi's profile
She an awkward bun, doesn't really look for relationships. Hell, she'd sooner hide herself in her room and do her own thing. Work and more work, although she does have a little sister who she absolutely adores. Adores, but she's not good at communicating that. Anyways, she's not looking for a relationship but.. That doesn't mean that she wouldn't like one. In truth, Vivian really does want a meaningful relationship if anything; a long term one. One where she can turn to someone and just have someone to hug and that fun stuff. Honestly speaking; Vi doesn't care what they do or anything. She doesn't think that a person's circumstance should judge their character, which would explain why she's often oblivious to that stuff. [break][break]
That being said, she's currently.. In a relationship, but at the same time not? The long story short is she has a crush on a coworker, and she's liked him for like, years on end. Unfortunately she doesn't know he's using her as a side. Maybe she has an idea at this point with how he occasionally sleeps around with her without anything to follow up, but he's ultimately using her dangerously low self-esteem to lead her on. Yeah, not a good guy. But hey, she doesn't know that.
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero; Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can miss

tori's profile
a woman with no understanding of the pursuit of lifelong happiness, invested only in temporary highs (in a metaphorical sense!) and ephemeral pleasure. it all ties into her nature, really. zekrom looks to the future, reshiram looks to the past and present. it's not in her capacity to hope for an "ideal future" with the "perfect partner" - so instead, she indulges in quick relationships, the heat of another, and kisses them gone by morning.[break][break]
as a baseline, she's about as desirable as any rock star would be. if she had any semblance of personal hygiene, heck, you could even call her pretty. unfortunately, she, uh, doesn't, though, so that definitely whacks some of those "desirable" points off the table. she's definitely bi, though, so males or females who'd care to take a peak into the life of the famous are certainly welcome here (so long as you're gone by morning!).

bai's profile
Here, you've got yourself a man of many words and descriptions. He's a snarky little jerk a lot of the time, but for the most part, all he really wants to do is have a good time, you feel me? He's got a temper that flares up like fireworks in the night sky if you press the right buttons (and if you catch a glimpse of it, you'd best steer clear), but so long as you take care to stay on his good side, you'll have a pretty animated and interested conversation partner for sure~. As of now, he's more or less single- but unlike the past, he isn't exactly looking for much in the romance department. Friends, he's more than down for. Romantic partners or even flings? ...Not much. For complex reasons, really, but yeah~.[break][break]
For the most part, he's got his eyes set on one person and one person only, and the unlucky little lass in question would be JASMINE SILPH - or, in other words, his closest childhood friend. Although...as of now, he's pretty much settled with really just...y'know. Sticking around her. Being by her side. 'Cause you see...in his eyes and in his mind, she's basically leagues beyond his reach. For one reason or another, he holds himself back from making any clear moves. It's partially because of awkwardness. Partially because he's scared that she'd reject him.[break][break]
...Partially because he feels like he doesn't have the right to make a move because of the amount of flings and whatnot that he's had in the past, and just recently stopped with.[break][break]
But yeah. Boy's head over heels for her. He'll never directly say it to her, but anyone could see how he feels for her if they ever caught them interacting~.

tao's profile
Two words to describe Tao: emotionless rock.[break][break]
Ladies and gentlemen; Tao admittedly isn't really one for fun and games. In fact, he normally scoffs at people who're all fun and games. If you ever wanted to meet someone who was known for being an uptight buzzkill, then Tao's your man. His straightforward and honest demeanor tends to make people think that he's a bit on the rude and unsympathetic side, but the truth of the matter is that he's more or less just a really logical guy. Despite his initially rough edges, he's actually got a pretty caring, easygoing, and even a somewhat joking nature- but the only catch to seeing that is to get close to him first. Aaaand...well, that in itself is normally the hard part. What with how brash he tends to come off as.[break][break]
Easy ways to earn his attention, though? ...Other than being an uptight, academically-focused nerd? Honestly, just have an open mind. He doesn't seem like it, but his logical stance lets him see things with an open mind. ...Even if his stubbornness tends to override that more times than not. On top of that, though...? Music. Music, art, and astrology, actually. Those three things are probably the main factors that could easily help you get close to him at an accelerated rate. He's got a deepened connection and love for all three of these things, and in terms of the last hobby, he makes it a habit to go out and take a gander across the stars in the night sky on a normal basis- and could often be with Naomi Stirling whenever he does so, as well.[break][break]
...But even if you get close to him, making him consider you as a potential, romantic partner would still be hard in itself. For one thing, it takes him a while to warm up to someone in that way. Like...a long while. You'd probably have had to known him for years before he'd even bother pondering the idea of you two being together. That, and...well, he's still subtly coping with the loss of his one and other love interest in the past. Mostly because he pins most of the blame of her passing on himself, but...yeah.[break][break]
It's because of that that he probably won't be considering too many relationships in the near future, but hey- you're still more than welcome to try~.
