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?

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","mouths1"]What was he doing? Luke was here to take time off, to collect his thoughts and unwind. But here he was getting dragged into something work related due to his own inability to say no to people. He was going to have to work on that as knowing his luck this part of him was going to lead him into some serious trouble. Now what exactly was it that he was asked of today? It was nothing too serious, just meeting up with an old work associate to help them with a case. Nothing more than his professional opinion on a case, at least which is what Luke figured.
At first that was all it was, going over a case. It was an interesting one, one that definitely got Luke’s inner detective going. A serial arsonist and thief had made their way to Lyeant and were causing a ruckus. Luke, having had experience dealing with these sorts of criminals in his past, was the best person to consult on figuring out their next move. Their last attack struck an association office building, it wasn’t a serious attack and luckily no one was seriously harmed and the fire was put out quickly. Knowing the history of said person it was strange that this outburst was quite small scale.
It didn’t take long for Luke to put everything together. This attack was clearly just a warning, while before their attacks were simple in motive it seemed they were getting political. Their next attack was most likely going to be Association HQ. The attacks had been escalating in scale despite it not being as big as they once were so it wasn’t too much of a stretch that they’d aim higher next time. At least those were just deductions, nothing concrete as of yet. His advice was appreciated and after a bit of talking things appeared to come to a conclusion.
Instead he was dragged into some sort of gathering of officials that he was really opposed to going to. However he ended up at this party and was now having to deal with the awkwardness that was always fun. After a while, and finally being done dealing with people he didn’t care for, Luke separated himself from the rest. He was now standing, resting against the railing of a balcony, taking sips from his drink and watching the city below. The place was quite beautiful at night, it was a shame he was cooped up here and not having a nice stroll.
He looked back to the party, rolling his eyes at the sight of a bunch of people who didn’t actually care about each other pretending they were long time friends. But at the end of the day he knew these sorts of things were necessary if you wanted to get places in these sort of industries. Was it something that Luke enjoyed participating in? Of course not! But it wasn’t as if he had much of a choice other than just smile and wave and hoped it would be over soon. He turned back to the city, enjoying t he sights and sounds.
You’re a sucker for fc plots? No I’M the sucker for fc plots! [break][break]
Why don’t we fuse a little bit of both? Luke technically speaking right now is still off but would be working Lyeant regardless due to everything that has happened and the current state of things. But let’s say we go with the angle that the two of each other run into another during a job of Nikki’s and Luke, being the kind of guy he is, tries to stop him even though he’s currently not working. Shenanigans ensue and this motivates Luke to get back to working and cutting his leave time short. And this can establish their cop and robber relationship.[break][break]
I also think that after learning more about Nikki and his situation that they could be friends or at least have a mutual respect for each other. While Luke wouldn’t be okay with his methods or what he has done in the past, he would certainly sympathize with him. He’d make it his own personal crusade to either change Nikki’s ways or be the one to take him down if need be, he wouldn’t want that. He’d see it as his own atonement for the times he himself went too far, try and shed that manhunter nickname for good. something I know I forgot to go into detail about in his history cause I’m dumb.[break][break]
This all could happen after their friends without knowing they’re on the other side of the law and all of that. If they didn’t get along could still go with the previously mentioned angle of just trying to reform him and such, at least from Luke’s perspective. If this ain’t vibin with ya I’m sure we can figure something out.

It had been quite some time since Luke didn’t have a million things to focus on. No cases, no being up all night going over evidence. No in fact he had all the time in the world to do whatever it was that he wanted to and it was a strange but nice feeling, at least that’s what he figured he should feel like. It was nice of course but part of him wanted to get back to working. This very thought made him sigh, disappointed in his own inability to enjoy some time off. However he felt in all fairness with everything going on how could someone blame him?
He was taking a stroll through the city, deciding that it was best to get some fresh air and not be cooped up inside all day. By his side was his Slyveon with his Pikachu resting on his shoulder as the little scamp typically did. There was no destination in mind so whatever caught his eye he’d decide to check it out. They had already made a few stops before hand to shops which either caught Luke’s attention or the attention of one of his Pokémon, which in hindsight might have been a bad idea as Watts had a habit of getting distracted easily.
However this time it would be Luke would be distracted by the sight of something. In his downtime Luke fancied himself someone who took joy in reading and because of that there were some authors that he followed due to being fans of their work. He just so happened to spot someone that he was familiar with and was a bit surprised by the sight. The first thought that crossed his mind was why was this person here of all places but that was something for another time. In the meanwhile one didn’t get this sort of chance that often so he figured he’d make the best of it.
”Hello there!” Luke said, greeting the younger lady with a smile and a wave. ”My deepest apologies for interrupting your lunch but I just had to come meet you. My name is Luke Belmont. It’s a real pleasure to meet you. I’m a big fan of your work.” He hoped he wasn’t overstepping a boundary right now. It was strange being the one to approach someone like this and not the other way around. He got a bit used to it however seeing how in certain areas he was a bit popular seeing how the stunts he pulled did garner a bit of attention.

Son of Belmont
Luke comes from the Belmont family, a family with some notoriety for their research and adventures around the world. Born to Vincent and Seras Belmont and the second child of two, having an older sister named Holly, Luke was born in the same hometown as his mother in Verdant. Luke spent his childhood surrounded by nothing but Pokémon from all over the world and access to research material and knowledge that’d make anyone with a thirst for knowledge jealous. His parents never stayed in one place for too long and as such his time spent in his home region of Lyeant was cut short. [break][break]
Kalos would be the Belmont’s next home and where Luke spent the most of his later childhood before his teenage years. Much was expected of the young Belmont seeing as not only did he have respected parents but also a sister who was on her way to conquer the Kalos League and those beyond, making quite the splash in her wake. While he excelled at his schoolings he found the whole ordeal boring and often found him getting into trouble, trouble he caused most of the time. If it wasn’t for his pension for causing trouble and getting into scraps he’d been a model student. [break][break]
Adventures Abound!
During his teenage years he would often go with his parents whenever they went out on some sort of research excursion or adventure, often before being left behind with relatives in Kalos. It was this way that the young boy managed to see the world and all the things it had to offer. He also got more serious about his studies, and while not sure what exactly he wanted to do with himself the idea of becoming a researcher like his parents wasn’t far out of the question. He’d also assist whenever his parents worked with the International Police, due to his father’s past ties. Luke often receiving praise for his assistance and being offered to join when he became older. Eventually, and much like his sister, Luke went out on his own to carve his own path. [break][break]
His time on his own was spent traveling different regions and learning as much as he could, while also taking in the sights. He’d even challenge the leagues much like his sister, though not being that dedicated to them as she was. What he found himself more interested in was acting as a somewhat vigilante, solving crimes and bring criminals to justice. His vigilante days came to an end when he came across a big international police operation. They let him work with them but his vigilante days were over after that. [break][break]
Officer Belmont
Afterwards they offered him a job working with them which he happily accepted. Luke did well at his job, excelled even, gaining quite the reputation as some sort of hot shot officer. However this came with the reputation of being a bit reckless and getting himself into trouble a lot. Working with the International Police wasn’t everything that Luke had thought it was going to be. He enjoyed his work and helping others but there was a certain case that changed everything. A criminal going by the name moniker The Reaper had been the culprit of a myriad of crimes ranging from trafficking of all sorts to poaching. He had gained the moniker Reaper due to his appetite for violence and the condition he leaves his victims in. [break][break]
After a few failed attempts to catch this monster Luke slowly became obsessed with trying to catch him. The fiery passion that Luke put into helping people turned into a destructive anger that pushed the people around him away. He eventually resulted in using methods that typically he would have never considered and it was only when he finally caught the man and almost killed him that he snapped out of it with the help of his partner. Due to his actions Luke took a leave of absence, returning to his home region to visit his parents who were currently staying there. [break][break]
Unravel
That was when the world came crumbling down around them. Luckily, Luke’s family was safe but that couldn’t be said for everyone who was dear to him. Luke lost people who were close to him and someone he cherished. He wanted to do something, no; he had to do something about the current state of his home. If not because it was the right thing to do but for all those he lost and all those that had lost their lives. But he wasn’t sure where to put his talents. He sympathized with the Republic and if it wasn’t for the fact that he thought they lost sight of their goal he might have joined them.[break][break]
Instead he sided with the association, believing that with their resources and might they could do a lot of good. Even if they didn’t always make the best decisions, Luke believed that if he stayed he could do something to steer things in the right direction for everyone. At least, that was what he believed.
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.
