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?

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!

Hello, I was wondering if you would like to plot Ioanna with Rebecca. While them both being gym leaders would lean to them knowing each other. Ioanna could be be helping her ship things to help with rebuilding or the like. For actual interactions, I'm open to anything and everything![break][break]
Hello, I was wondering if you would like to plot Ioanna with Samuel. While them both being gym leaders would lean to them knowing each other. However perhaps interactions with each other would be tense or awkward given his own dislike of water types and the sea, which she heavily prefers.I'm open to anything and everything![break][break]
Hello, I was wondering if you would like to plot Ioanna with Lilika. While them both being gym leaders would lean to them knowing each other. I was thinking that they could have also met previously, maybe her having helped some people Ioanna brought over. For actual interactions, I'm open to anything and everything![break][break]
Calm like the seas she is so fond of, Ioanna also has the potential to have the intensity of the fiercest monsoons. She loves the sun and being outdoors or at sea compared to being indoors, and almost stereotypical given her gijinka nature with a fire type; hates cloudy days and most overtly cold things aside from beverages. While, on the other hand in contrast to her fiery, Ioanna ironically loves the sea and activities revolving around it. [break][break]
As a person, Ioanna can appear standoffish at times, being as prone to moments of pride and opinion fueled folly as any other individual. But she is in actuality a rather friendly individual if slow to trust, though once said trust has been earned however it can be blind, and as deep as the ocean. Which in turns leading to violations of this trust being equally poisoning to the relationship. [break][break]
Given her habits of relaxing in the sun, coupled with a calm and relaxed nature it wouldn't be hard to mistake her for a lazed and aloof person without looking much into her. But in reality, she cares deeply and takes her responsibility as gym leader rather seriously. Even considering the unease seas that is the current state of affairs in the region, and considering contingencies to ride out the worst of storms. [break][break]
If you want to see the sunshine, you have to weather the storm. [break]

A native of Slateport City in Hoen, Ioanna was raised primarily in the more makeshift areas away from the premier coastal housing, and the city's more inland neighborhoods. Ironically the nominal cause for her living arrangments stemming from her gjinka nature, made it so that she found her earlier environments nigh uninhabitable due to the conflict in instincts spawned by the semi-aquatic nature of her surroundings. That all abruptly changed however shortly after receiving a Mudkip for her first pokemon, a sudden and violent storm swept over the shores of the port settlement one day. While fortunate enough to have been inland enough to be spared the worse of the flooding, Ioanna found herself regretting using her partial fire type physiology for avoiding learning to swim. Albeit with great difficulty, Ioana was able to to find shelter with Tahoe's assistance and wait out the disaster. [break][break]
Rushing back towards her home, the child was quick to discover however fortune was not universal. Though in the back of her mind there were nagging concerns about the well being of her family, she clung to the child naivety that her home and family had been spared the destructive force of might that caused the devastation that sprawled around her. The illusion lasted only the minutes it took her to reach the rubble that had been her home. Collapsing upon fully taking in the scene, Ioanna wasn't sure how long it was before an aunt retrieved her. Staying with the aunt for a few days, there was a degree of debate over what was to happen now while coping with her mother's death she awaited her father's return. His employment as captain of a merchant's vessel meant that while he was spared the disaster of the storm, he was still several days away. For the duration of her wait, Ioanna slowly began to come to terms with what had occurred. Deciding to attempt to cling to what little she had left, a tedious process of overcoming her issues with the sea. [break][break]
It took much debate and convincing, but eventually, Ioanna was able to talk her way into a trail run on her father's next outing at sea. From there the water she had once despised, ultimately became one of the more consistent loves of her life. Though she knew full well to respect the dangers also posed by the unstable currents, Ioanna came into herself in the following years. Traveling from region to region, she learned to interact with a variety of individuals from all walks of life. Though serious and professional on boats or at seas, Ioanna couldn't help but partake in luxuries on shore. Socializing in various forms, partaking in Pokemon events, and the like. Though she was never in one place for long enough to explore any long-term participation in Leagues, Ioanna found herself enjoying the various aspects of being a trainer she got to experience. [break][break]
For a time things appeared to be going well, from a shaky start Ioanna found herself at ease in the life of sailing. Her father may not have fully like her picking up the colorful tongues of the rest of the crew, or joining in catcalling; she paid little to no head to any signs of a coming storm of an entirely different nature. The outbreak of the Inum crisis came suddenly, and Ioanna found herself helping serve aboard vessels taking refugees to the handful of safe cities. With great difficulty, Ioanna had managed to convince her now elderly father to stay while she took over the ship. While it was ultimately lost on a final voyage, she was among survivors fished from the ocean and brought to safety. At first, going stir crazy from losing her sea legs, Ioanna eventually found a new purpose, and through further labor, she got the position of Gym Leader. Able to purchase a new ship, Ioanna is limited in local voyages now, but found the revitalization of her father upon seeing the small ship to be worth it. With further conflicts brewing on the horizon, Ioanna has taken note this time and is considering her options. Determined to do more than help people merely weather the storm.[break][break]
A friendly individual, Ioanna is easy to get along with. As a gym leader she takes the position and its responsibilities with the utmost seriousness. Her passion of the seas endures through everything, and while not a total party person, she isn't married to work. A temperament that can be unleashed with the fury of the sea, she has a vocabulary that could cause even seasoned sailors to blush when frustrated.
[break][break]
>>> FRIENDSHIP
Aboard her father's vessel Ioanna has learned how to interact with peoples of all walks of life, and is a fairly easy going to interact with. Though she no longer sets sail for locations far away, Ioanna enjoys being able to take to the sea. Professionally she is willing and eager to accept all challenges.
PLOT IDEA #1
Professionally as a Gym Leader arrangements for challenges or other officially interactions are easily made. She enjoys showing others around her ship and teaching others to maintain a ship or sail. Ioanna helped transport refugees during the conflict, it's possible she may have met and kept in contact with some non native characters from back then. [break][break]
PLOT IDEA #2
Less professionally, old vices die hard. Though no longer with the frequency she did a few year back, Ioanna still goes to more social settings.
>>> HATESHIP
As someone who is generally easy going, and posses the resolve to limit contact with those that have a tendency to generate tension. Ioanna is more likely to have rivalries then long-lasting enemies. But the occasional few that have reached that point are generally those who are overtly rude or aggressive towards others. Not overtly temperamental she is more likely to actively avoid then resort to violence in most cases. She's also developed a tendency to unleash her sailor's mouth when thoroughly frustrated.
[break][break]
>>> LOVESHIP
Harmless flirting is something Ioanna engages in or returns easily enough, occasionally a persistent enough individual can get a date or two. More focused on the professional side of life than some would give her credit for, long-term romances are not really on her mind. Those she is already friends with or have similarly close relationships may have a better shot at it.
PLOT IDEA #1
As Ionna isn't actively seeking long term relations not a lot to be put here. However, the idea isn't something she isn't entirely opposed to, open to the very least some discussion for plotting opportunity and seeing how things go. [break][break]
>>> WANTED
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.
