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.

[attr="class","tbegentop3"]AUCTION
[attr="class","tbegenmid"]
The first board to be auctioned off, the World's End most closely neighbors Eirenhyre City and remains as little more than a massive, empty crater in the earth. Before the Imum War, a small village was said to exist here – but more importantly, this land includes a series of caved-in tunnels that used to connect Eirenhyre to the underground city of Cestavira, a place that has been closed off to the above ground world for the past two years with no word of its survival... or lack thereof. Whoever takes control of this land should focus their efforts on cleaning out the tunnels here for the sake of the people who have been trapped underground. In addition to this, a memorial for those who lost their lives to Team Imum has been started here by the Pokemon Association and citizen donations. While construction has stopped because of recent events (namely the Republic's taking of New Veherna), whoever takes control of this area would be wise to finish it however they see fit. There's also plenty that can be done with this dip in the earth – but what, specifically, is done with it depends on who wins this month's auction![break][break]

MAKING SITE PURCHASES
Assuming you have the funds for whatever it is you wish to be, all site purchases will be made in this auction threads, and all money used to make those purchases will be put toward the faction of the character making the purchase (as seen above). For example: if you're making a purchase using your Association-affiliated character, the cost of the item will be added to the Association's total in this thread. The faction with the highest total – or, really, the biggest spenders – over the course of the month will be awarded with the board to construct as they so wish. New boards may also open at the end of the auctioning period, so be sure to spend, spend, spend! Don't have anything you want to buy but want to support your faction, anyway? That's fine, too! Donate however many Poke you so desire, and it might just be the push it needs to see victory. Reply to this thread using the form below for the duration of the auctioning period and the site will handle money transactions from there. Have fun!

congratulations one completing your application and getting it approved! now that you've been given the thumbs up, though, you've still got a few more steps before you can hop into the roleplay. for starters, make sure to update your face claims and, if applicable, canon claims, then add your new character to the member directory. after that, consider starting or replying to a character plotter, participate in some forum games, or fill out an open thread. otherwise, good luck, and happy writing!

Hello, Concerned, and thank you for your input! We appreciate your concern for yourself and potential members who may find themselves alienated by the future state of the canon list. Unfortunately, there's no need for the change you suggest: it's already in place!
There are restrictions on both the number of canons that may be taken and the length of reservation time for each category, as low as one for the "most desirables" and as high as three in a category with a total number of approximately one hundred and seventy-five characters. The highest number of canons any one person can play at a time is eight, which may seem like a lot, but considering the fact that a) there are just shy of three hundred total canons on the site; and b) it's completely unrealistic to assume that a large number of people are going to be taking that many, especially considering no one has hit that number yet, that's actually not too terrible of an upper limit. We have a system in place that allows for the purchase of extra canon spots, but that is only with a high price in our site store, which is set up specifically so that only active members who have proven that they can handle another canon and will do it justice can purchase it.
(Also note that, aside from the region original canons - high ranking officers and the Pokemon League of Lyeant - none of these other canons hold any real plot significance at this time. If anything, they're only invitations for members who would otherwise not plot have a reason to plot together at this time. Even if you've somehow arrived late enough that all of the canons in a particular category are taken, there should be no need to feel alienated from the plot. Honestly, the site could function just as well without all of these extra canons as it could with - they're only there so people who liked those characters can play them. Nothing more, nothing less.)
As it stands, there's roughly only a quarter of the entire canon list claimed or reserved, and when the first few weeks of a site tend to be its best in terms of overall member count, you'll have to forgive me if I don't seem too terribly worried about a monopoly of canons, particularly by a supposed "specific group" which, as stated before, hasn't even met their maximum number of canons on a list as massive as this.
I also apologize if any of that seems rude in any way, or seems like I'm batting away your criticism at all. The truth of the matter is is that the staff has already worked hard to balance out what's already an entirely optional canon list, and aside from limiting everyone's number of canons down to one (which would result in a lot of these canons never being taken, including the few that are important to the site, and doesn't really seem all that necessary to me), there aren't many changes that can be put into place to fix a problem that... quite frankly, doesn't really need fixing. :'D
