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!

[attr="class","jartox"]
[attr="class","jartoxpicangie"]
[attr="class","jartoxlyr"] Take a really bad post but tbh I'm just forcing it out rn LOL
[attr="class","jartoxpost"]
"Mommy! Mommy! I wanna go and buy something!" [break] "Mmn? Alright, I'm coming, Louis~"[break] "No! No! I wanna buy something, but it has to be a surprise!" [break] "A surprise? But Mommy can't leave you alone~" [break] "No! It has to be a surprise!"[break][break]
For a moment there, a young, blue-haired boy seemed to be pouting upwards to his mother. A boy who was probably no older than three to four years old, puffing his cheeks out while the orange-haired woman maintains a patient smile on her face. The young boy continued to whine, even while his mother was trying her damned hardest to pull the kid over. After all, she wasn't supposed to be leaving her son right out in the open, or leave him to wander the streets on his own. "Come on, I'll give you a piggyback ride." The woman offers him as she slowly begins to crouch down, reaching eye level with the increasingly difficult young boy. The latter seems to stare up at Angelica for a brief moment. The same bright, emerald gaze he returned to her seemed to narrow a tad bit, all while he was turning away from the woman with yet another pout. "No! I'm gonna get mommy a surprise, so mommy stay here!" The young boy goes on his outburst again. Again, the usual. It wasn't that this wasn't a normal occurrence.. She was more concerned about her son getting lost of all things. After all, he was her child. He was her family; it'd devastate her like it would anyone if they found out that they'd have lost their child. But at the same time, she wasn't the type to get physical or upset with children; especially when their intentions were pure and honest. [break][break]
Pure and honest, she says. The attempts to coo and calm him were for naught, biggest sign being how the young boy took gradual steps back. But Angelica quickly grabbed the young boy's hand, this time, to keep him closer to her with hopes that he wouldn't get trampled over the crowd. Now if she could see where he was at all times, she wouldn't be as worried. But the fact that to let go means risking her son to get lost in a sea of other people, she'd rather cling onto him like her life depended on it. But even when she was trying to be a good parent, the child continued to whine and grumble, eyes fixated on a particular jewellery store. Gods know why he was so intent on the place, considering his stereotypical interests for a young boy his age. That doesn't change the fact that he kept staring in the direction and kept trying to pull away from his mother. Unfortunately, all of his attempts were in vain as Angelica maintains a fairly solid grip around his petite fingers. [break][break]
And then he gets an idea. [break][break]
Louis, who was being pulled by Angelica slowly pulled out a stuffed teddiursa from his other hand. His eyes glanced upwards to Angelica, confirming that her gaze was elsewhere before slowly trying to replace his own hand with the hand of the teddy bear's. While it wasn't too fuzzy, he figured that it would at least buy a bit of time for him to skedaddle away from her. Lo and behold, Angelica's grip twitched the slightest bit as she felt the cotton stuffing from what should have been her son's hand. He was being fairly obedient right now, which was surprising, considering how he was acting just a bit--[break][break]
Wait.. Stuffing? [break][break]
Emerald eyes snap downwards to her hand, which results in her eyes nearly widening in disbelief. Shortly afterwords, her attention snaps back upwards to find a sea of the crowds, cluttered up in the streets of Eirenhyre. Her kid just-- Louis just--.. Oh gods. Oh.. Gods. "Oh.. Arceus." Angelica mumbles to herself as her lips curl into a frown. Then it.. More or less started to sink in and dawn upon her. The fact that she literally just lost her kid, even after trying to make sure that she wasn't. Right as of now, it was more out of shock and her attempts to process it rather than sheer indifference. [break][break]
On the other hand, it seemed that Louis began to be swept away from the crowds, trying to weave through feet. The petite, canine ears twitch on top of his head, all while the stubby, Lilipup tail twitches from behind. The Lillipup child turns his head back and forth, both trying to look for his mother and the store. Though now, he realizes that.. He probably looked like a lost little Mareep.
I see those tears in your eyes and I feel so helpless inside
If your ghost pulls you up high and it feels like you've lost who you are
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
FIRST LASTNAME[break] Unchanging love and fleeting passion – from your point of view, they're nothing but code. Righteousness, evil, and days unrecoverable – in front of you, they couldn't matter less. I'm glad that you're lifeless, forever and ever. I'm glad that you're lifeless, forever and ever, even today. Being here and disappearing away, from your point of view, they aren't such mysterious things. The ends of this earth or the mysteries of life – in front of you, they couldn't matter less. Not just a good-for-nothing dream amassing up extraordinary trash. Faintly, you sing. Is the future fun? I don't really know, but let me stay here for just a little longer.

You take one look at her and she's practically radiating motherly. Angelica is a simple-minded woman who really doesn't know any better, trying to get by life with what she can and making do so that ends meet. There really isn't much to say about her, only because she's so straight forward and the sheer fact that this woman has no masks nor layers to her personality. She will not hide her kindness and she will not hide her irritation; she is by no means someone who will trick you, and she is no one who will try to take advantage. Angelica has no ulterior motives whatsoever, and she's a fairly honest person overall. Towards the majority, she comes off as air-headed and even the tiniest naive and idealistic. She's a passive individual who would prefer to stay on the sidelines and smile, to offer encouragement and not draw too much attention to herself. That being said, she's the same person you would think she is; the same exact person you would initially judge her for, and she can respect that. [break][break]
Overall, Angelica is a kind person. She's compassionate and more than willing to help you out; giving and altruistic at best, but foolishly naive and gullible at worst. [break][break]
But that raises the question as to why her sister was always so protective; and why some with cunning intuition can occasionally feel that shiver up their spines. While kind and seemingly gullible to a near fault, Angelica is someone who holds a vast amount of rage in such a frail body. In the past, Angelica has been known to be violent, abrasive and provokative; nearly being expelled from school time and time again. She was a troubled child, and her lack of medical attention (or attention in general) alienated her from the majority groups of people. Though she has greatly recovered now, that doesn't stop her from occasionally feeling that rage spike to hurt someone in her vicinity. Again; she'll never hurt anyone and she'll try her best to restrain herself, but said restraint was traded in for otherwise, hence a surprisingly impatient demeanour. Even if she doesn't seem like it, she's someone who would gladly beat someone without a second thought. She would, she can, and she will if given the opportunity. There are the rare times where she has no tolerance, specifically when someone were to mess with her younger sister; Elizabeth Chastain. [break][break]
That being said, her very philosophy and morality are highly questionable. While she won't be going out screaming vulgar slang and otherwise offensive words - nor will she engage in said activities - she's a highly fickle individual, who doesn't have a clear line of ethics. She's unpredictable; an example being that she treats everyone fairy well and kindly, ignoring their circumstances of birth and their relationship towards her. However, she would have no qualms to killing or even beating a man or woman to death without any remorse whatsoever. She knows what is considered "universally right" and "universally wrong", but there are the few times she simply doesn't care for them. When this information came into light, Angelica was diagnosed as a surfacing psychopath. She has emotions, yes. She can feel emotions, yes, but she feels very little empathy or remorse for others or her own actions. Granted, this offers some explanation to her initially impulsive behaviour. [break][break]
And while it doesn't seem that way, Angelica struggles with herself. Outwardly, she looks like someone who couldn't hurt a fly. She looks like the woman who would help you at a grocery store or would volunteer; because she is. But at the same time, she's also the person who wouldn't hesitate to snap necks. She suffers from an occasional complex in regards to where her values align, and has fallen into a further spiral after the death of Elizabeth. As a result, Angelica had found herself depending on the people around her, adapting to her surroundings and melding herself into the society around her to fit in. The most important thing about Angelica is that she doesn't lie to anyone; she's flexible enough to perfectly align herself with the thoughts of another group; to the point she will literally become the ideal person in a certain society.
Though alone I try to repair all the pain[break] But the only way to heal was to rely on you
[attr="class","taketwoapplicationtab2bot"]
[attr="class","taketwoapplicationtab2bot2"]
Abilities
Minor flight/levitation from the tiny togetic wings
All the happy powder; typically improves the mood when she's around
Heightened intuition; Togetic senses those who are kind.
[break][break]
A beautiful lie that wasn’t reality
Born in Kalos and was marvelled as the "ideal" child in her family
Was forced to meet many stressful expectations; parents often argued about the direction their child's future will take
Began to play the piano as a coping strategy for her stress. Unfortunately, her parents turned piano into one of the things to stress her out after finding her talent for it
Often praised for her accomplishments and etc from a young age; she was recognized as a piano prodigy.
[break][break]
the trickery that hid away the hope I can’t see
Eventually reached the breaking point on her own at school, while a group of girls were mocking her.
Suspended at the age of seven, after smacking her over the head with a chair
Parents' abusive nature begins to surface; physically punishing her for disobedience
Abuse only fuelled her rage, enough to occasionally snap and cause problems at school.
[break][break]
you’re just playing pretend
At the age of 9, she got a younger sister.
Said sister who would hopefully make up for her "defected" elder sister
Even then, Angelica attempted to maintain that pacifistic mask. She tried her best, even when she was seething with anger.
Surprisingly, Angelica was close to Elizabeth from the get go.
Eventually, she began to obey her parents even more, just so that they wouldn't impose the same abuse or expectations on her younger sister.
[break][break]
Crying out to no one, the pain, there’s no end
Began to attend rehab and therapy for her anger management, resulting in a considerably improved patience and restraint.
Elizabeth began to loathe Angelica for always shoving her into her shadow.
Elizabeth was bullied from a young age, which resulted in Angelica to snap more often times than not.
Suspended a number of times in her early teenage years, nearly being expelled for almost snapping a boy's neck after he attempted to attack Elizabeth.
Her and Elizabeth's parents continue to argue.
The rest of her family views her as a perfect child, seeing how her parents kept her temper issues a secret.
[break][break]
And as the intermission of this life had ended
For the remainder of her school years, she worked on improving her temper. She transferred multiple times until she was able to keep a steady and consistent happy mask.
At the age of eighteen, she was planning on moving out after her parents' arguments got worse
Witnessed her mother hiding a gun in a cabinet; kept this in mind.
Evolved into a togetic after witnessing her father murder their mother. Used her wings and flight to grab Lizzy and carry her up to her room and hide her away.
The two girls hid out in their room until their father walked in. Of course, Angelica grabbed the gun beforehand.
Shot and killed their father in self defence.
It was later discovered that their father suffered from severe schizophrenia and surfacing psychopathy, along with other symptoms of psychosis.
[break][break]
the final act of death is all it could be
Angelica was investigated and had brain scans done on her, eventually revealing depression, PTSD and the same, surfacing psychopathy as her father.
However seeing how she was capable of functioning in a society, the doctors only kept a close eye on her.
Took responsibility as the legal guardian of Elizabeth, then she moved in with her auntie and uncle; Aurelie's parents.
Scouted to be a model. Seeing how she was out of school and would prefer to make income, she took the job.
Met a young man who was studying to be a manager, eventually introducing her to his friend; Christopher.
She and Christopher hit it off and had immediate chemistry; hence, the two began dating a few months after their initial meeting.
[break][break]
I’m feeling like I can’t breathe, the love that I had
Unfortunately, Angelica was unaware that he had been cheating and having numerous affairs behind her back.
He was studying to be a teacher while she continued with her modelling work.
Elizabeth began to suffer in school, more from bullying
Angelica always tried her best to soothe Elizabeth.
At the age of twenty three, Christopher proposed to Angelica
Shortly after that, they were married.
[break][break]
now I realize to love, is death
Unfortunately, Christopher continued to cheat on her even after being married.
She was unaware of it, but Christopher was having an affair with numerous other women; one of them being Vivian Nguyen.
Elizabeth eventually found out about this, and intended to call him out for it.
Unfortunately, Elizabeth didn't have the heart, seeing how fond Angelica was of him.
At the age of twenty five, she and Christopher had a biological child; now named Louis Chastian.
[break][break]
The plague that I have caught
While Elizabeth was in high school however, she called out Christopher for cheating on her sister.
Elizabeth was called over to the science classroom after school hours. There, he attempted to assault her. In retaliation, Elizabeth jabbed him with a broken beaker.
Chris pushed Elizabeth out of the window in her struggle, hearing Vivian walking down the hallways.
Played it out as a suicide, and expressed a feigned regret for not being able to "stop" Elizabeth from "Throwing herself" out the window.
Angelica became further depressed and dependant on Christopher
[break][break]
they call it “fallen love”
Followed Christopher to the Lyeant Region for his teaching career
Picked up modelling in the studios, however she's still haunted by the death of her sister.
Currently unaware of Christopher's long string of years and years of cheating.
there is nothing left to take, but i still try to reach. try to swallow it all down, yet i can't seem to breathe. just a single pill of mine, nothing else would suffice - i take it in, now i'm alive. my phone is set on lock, and i don't really care. there's a tangle and a knot that i cannot repair. i'm a tragedy, i'm ugly, i'm trying to hide. i say "hello", then wave "goodbye". see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honestly. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see it run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i still refuse to believe.
[break][break]
>>> FRIENDSHIP
see me fall down - let me die here slowly. nothing goes right, not a trace of honesty. i'm to blame, so i'll remain. black, white; day, night; it's all the same. see is run down - cut away, no worries. say no more. i can surely say that i've had enough. i can't remember - that very day, that very day changed me. happiness died like a light i carried. i'll sleep tonight and hope to finally leave a world which i don't believe, a life which i don't need, and then i'll finally be free.
PLOT IDEA #1 every day would be the same. nothing more, little change. if i cared, it would mean nothing: it's all such a pain. friendly bonds are so unneeded, i don't give a dang. a busy life is what i am. could it be that family was a way of escape? didn't know if it was right, so i threw them away. couldn't take it anymore, i had taken enough, so then i hide my need for love.[break][break]
PLOT IDEA #2 lay me right down, let me sleep, i'm restless. cover my eyes. when i'm up, i'll finally fade away, here, today. give me a reason: then i'll stay. if i could fly, if for only a moment, there wouldn't be such a need for casualty. i'm alone, and that is how it'll be.

I see those tears in your eyes and I feel so helpless inside
If your ghost pulls you up high and it feels like you've lost who you are
Oh love, there's no need to hide
Just let me love you when your heart is tired
