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!

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.

The ruins were dangerous. This should have been obvious knowledge; beyond the fact that the Association was quick to remind any and all to keep to their strongholds until the cleanup efforts were back in full swing, put on hold as they were by rising tensions between Parallax and, more recently, the Republic, anyone should have known that hanging around in loose rubble and crumbling buildings was a quick route to getting buried alive in stone, or mugged by those who would take advantage of wanderers if you were a bit more fortunate. Still not an ideal outcome, as most people would agree. What reasons a person would have for coming out here were generally pretty unknown to him. There were always the curious, he supposed, who liked to see the origin of stories with their own eyes before they truly devoted themselves to belief, or maybe the skeptics – although conspiracy theorists weren't likely to step far enough outside of their homes to see the proof in the pudding before their eyes. Otherwise, why would a person willingly submit themselves to the danger? To prey on others? To plot evil deeds? Whether it was an innocent soul at risk of being injured by the elements or an evil-doer in need of due punishment before they could be the source of aforementioned injury, Garett knew that it was his responsibility to aid or defeat those who would wander out into the wreckage of the world around them. Unfortunately, with all of his other self-imposed responsibilities, tracking people down outside the strongholds wasn't a very common occurrence. When rumors of a brunet periodically making the trek into the wilderness, however, were brought before him, he made it a point to sleuth and solve this problem before things could get out of hand. Friend? Foe? Either way, they were – unknowingly – calling his name.[break][break]
Sure enough, his unwitting target of heroism was off and into the ruins, fire-type Pokemon in tow, destination set on what the self-proclaimed hero could only assume was the old Hope's Path. All the worse. For the scheming, those old tunnels would make the perfect place to hatch a plan undetected; for the rest, those tunnels were still highly susceptible to collapse, and another cave-in like the one that had buried the underground city, cut it off from the rest of the world could claim just another victim. Unfortunately, the high ground afforded him a view of the stranger he followed, but the wind swallowed all attempts at calling out to them whole, his calls from the distance likely going completely unheard by the person he spoke to. In the event that this was a criminal he'd need to apprehend, though, it was probably for the better. Sneaking up on an innocent, though... Well, he'd done fishier things before, loathe as he was to admit. (Memories he did not wish to remember, best left rotting in the periphery of is mind; oh, the things he'd had to do for Imum to get rid of Imum.)[break][break]
By the time he'd caught up, the stranger was already within the tunnel, as far deep as one could go before the cave in cut off their path, its rocky slope scarred with the leftovers of failed attempts to dig further through. Both trainer and Pokemon were silent, heads bent almost as if in prayer, and if there was any doubt about their lack of villainy left, it puffed away like smoke at the sight of meager offerings to an invisible grave. Meager, yes – but still offerings.[break][break]
Guilt washed over him for having assumed anything but the best for this well-intentioned stranger, as well as for having born witness to a scene that very much felt private. Torn between staying around to issue his warning of staying safe (he couldn't really tell this man not to stop coming here, knowing what he was doing now, could he?) and leaving before he was noticed, he found himself doing as he always did when conflicted: paced. The, because he paced, he did what he didn't usually do when conflicted: tripped. The sound of scabbard and man hitting rock echoed throughout the cave, loud enough that any chance of fleeing undetected was banished the moment his footing was lost, and he was left to stare sheepishly at the brunet he had following and scrape up any excuses he could find. Or, since the decision had been made for him - “Ah – it's dangerous to go alone! Take this!” Wait, that didn't make sense. “Take this advice, I mean, and – don't go out in the ruins alone, or you might get hurt, or followed – … kind of like how I followed you. Well. Um.” Classy. Not suspicious at all. I really nailed this one...
*sticks leggu up* Hi, what's it gonna take for you to join my cult team?[break][break]
Okay, so pretty sure, like, twelve of us asked this question before, but I'd honestly like to explore this in RP if you're down for it. Garett's done his own fair share of solo vigilantism, so he holds literally nothing against others who do it, but people who are bent on doing things by themselves if only because they've only ever done things by themselves would certainly rub him the wrong way. Even if its not their intention, it comes off as selfish: if there is help to be had, and if many hands make faster work, those who stick to themselves in potential opposition make it seem like they're only doing what they're doing for their own personal glory or fame. Now, granted, Team Omnicron's probably known better by name than most individual vigilantes - maybe not Mimi herself, but definitely others - but Garett already knows that everyone he's met so far in it isn't out for the glory (at least, as far as he knows), whereas a random solo hero could have any motivation under the sun.[break][break]
If these two ever ran into each other under the pretense of vigilantism, then, he'd definitely try to recruit her - because again, he believes that, the more people in this line of "work" work together, the better off everyone else will be - to Omnicron, but he'd probably be a little off put if she stuck by her "I work alone" ways. Depending on how their interactions go, he may be persistent and continue to try to recruit her whenever they meet up again, or he'll write her off as someone not worth bothering; that all boils down to how pure he thinks her intentions are from a first impression!

weep for yourself, my man, you'll never be what is in your heart. weep, little lion man, you're not as brave as you were at the start. rate yourself and rake yourself - take all of the courage you have left, wasted on fixing all the problems that you've made in your own head. but it was not your fault, but mine, and it was your heart on the line. i really messed it up this time, didn't i my dear? tremble for yourself, my man, you know that you have seen this all before.
As an Imum spy - or, rather, an Association spy infiltrating Imum - Garett has had first-hand encounters with its old leader, and while he's grateful that he's made it out alive with each and every one, especially when he was made a target after "defecting", he berates himself for not being able to finish her off while he had the chance. Convinced that she's still alive, Garett swears to be the person to bring justice to Lorelei Ackermann.

The leader of Garett's squadron in Team Omnicron. These two are perhaps a little too similar when it comes to their hero work, and often not for the better, but their hearts are in the right place, and that's what matters! Garett holds a lot of respect for Annie for her ideas of heroism and the fact that she brought Omnicron together as a whole, and the two get along like peanut butter and jelly.

Ah, camping. Fun times. It took him back to days spent with his mother and father laying on their backs on sleeping bags as constellations with words he could never pronounce correctly were pointed out to him and the distant hum of bug-type Pokemon lulling them all the sleep. By this point in time, he practically considered himself the camping master, having spent at least ten years of his life traveling and doing this kind of activity almost every night. The only thing he had troubles with was putting up the darned tent; he never used any of those when he was alone, but he figured that Kalu would prefer them to sleeping under the sky and trees alone. He couldn't remember her ever vocalizing it – maybe she had offhandedly that he couldn't remember...? - but he figured it was better safe than sorry. Speaking of the brunette, she had started off into the woods with the company of her Absol – the one that hated him and made him want to soil himself sometimes – with the intent of gathering some of the native berries, leaving him to idly poke at the raging fire they'd gotten started about an hour ago and recall the last time he'd done anything similar with parents he hadn't seen in some time. What was the point of thinking about those days, though? As fun as they were, he was beginning to enjoy his new friend's company even better, which was, well, a massive accomplishment on its own. It was nice, thinking about how many more nights like this he'd get to spend with her.[break][break]
Garett had reached down to scratch as Midna, his Mightyena's chin when the girl returned, carrying a large quantity of blue-colored fruits with her. “Gar-bear, I got the berries like I said!” Grinning from ear to ear, he used the same hand to give her a little wave. He didn't get the time to respond, however, before she continued, “Oh, and can you tell Abosu he's gotta stop having those hunting fantasies? I'm starting to think he's going to do it one day.” He laughed a little too awkwardly as she sat down beside him on the log, leaf-colored eyes settling on said Pokemon instead as it snorted at the notion. Yeah. Going to start hunting. If only there wasn't a high probability that he'd end up on the receiving end of those claws some day, as well. “Uh, yeah, I don't think that he's going to listen to me if he won't listen to you...” 'Also, he totally hates me' is what he didn't say, but figured it was implied. He watched the Liepard and the Absol interact for a bit, musing at how they reacted to one another in such stark comparison to how comfortable his own Ponyta and Mightyena had grown with one another's company. Of course, he wasn't here to spend time with the Pokemon; he'd just started to turn his attention back to Kalu when she spoke up again.[break][break]
“Did you ever think of Pokemon eating other Pokemon, Gar-bear? 'Cause... I find it kind of weird. I mean, if we give them Pokemon food, who needs meat?” He prodded the flames again with his stick, using his free hand to rub his chin thoughtfully in his stupid “invisible beard” gesture. “Guess I haven't really thought of it too much. But, I mean, some Pokemon are carnivores or omnivores. There's only so much Poke'food can give 'em, right? Also, I think roasted Bidoof would tastes better than soggy pellets, but that might just be me,” the blonde added with a laugh, not entirely sure how comfortable he actually would be if he knew he was eating roasted Bidoof.
Dork with a hero complex. To say that Garett Heinrich hasn't seen “some crud” would be an absolute lie, but impossibly, his optimism is unshakable, and his desire for world peace overcomes all hardships that he has faced himself and has seen others still put through. His entire life has been driven, in fact, by the desire to help – to save Littens from trees, to help grandmothers cross busy streets, to apprehend criminals, and to tear down Imum where it stood. Such heroics have put a strain on his familial relations, but it's a small price to pay for the good he can do for the world. He would gladly martyr himself if only to make a person who's never known happiness feel it just once in their life. He would gladly lay his life down for Lyeant and its innocent lives. And so he's fought – he fights – and he will fight on still, until the end of his days, just as he always has.
[break][break]
>>> FRIENDSHIP
Garett is a kind soul – as though that needs to be spelled out after that shpeel on martyrdom for the sake of humanity, haha – and a friendly one, the sort of guy you can trust to drive your wife-in-labor safely to the hospital or watch your kids for a month without worry while you go on vacation. No matter how full his schedule, no matter how down in the dumps he may seem, he'll go out of his way to give whatever aide is needed to whoever it is that may need it. It's self destructive behavior at worst, but it hasn't blown up in his face yet, so what reason does he have to stop? A large part of why he does this is purely out of the goodness of his heart – but then, there's also the fact that he feels some genuine regret for abandoning his family in what he was too foolish to realize was their time of need. Shame keeps him from returning, but he believes that if he can help everyone else where he could not help his own flesh and blood, maybe he can one day forgive himself for mistakes made in the past. Most would agree he's a delight to be around – always reliable, friendly and talkative when you need it but aware of when to back off when you don't – but his dedication to his work can be a little... extreme, and some of his antics are a bit too zany for the masses. He has many people he's friendly with, and quite a number he'd call his friends, but no one yet that he could pour his heart out to. Tragic.[break][break]
>>> HATESHIP
Wrong-doers, of course. He's the hero; if you're the villain, he'll strike you down. His world view can take a turn for the rather black-and-white in the area, regrettably, in that he believes that all laws should be abided by, and anyone who does not follow them for any reason at all is worthy of punishment, ranging from at least a slap on the wrist to, at worst (if you're an Imum) a sword through the gut. Good intentions do not make a bad act any less bad. Conversely, bad intentions can make a good act bad. Still, he's quick to forgive any prior criminal who would seek to denounce their ways, so long as said criminals did not hail from the highest ranks of Imum. He witnessed first-hand what they did, has nightmares yet of what he's seen, and has vowed to put an end to the existences that are Nymah Valkyrie and Lorelei Ackermann if no one else gets to them first. The grunts can be pardoned – some never even knew what they were doing until it was too late to leave – but anyone ranked higher than he, as an elite, knew exactly what was going on, and he will never forgive them for their crimes. From the viewpoint of any former member, as well, Garett and his two-timing ways played a key role in the downfall of the organization. He barely escaped with his life then, but to say that radicals who somehow escaped the eyes of the law do not wish him dead for his “betrayal” would be an absolute lie.[break][break]
>>> LOVESHIP
The only love he holds is for the blade. Okay, but in all seriousness, romance has always been an incredibly low priority on his list. Knights seem to have a way with damsels in distress, true, but the idea of settling down with someone in constant need of rescue is about as far from ideal as he can imagine. He's still save them, of course, but the ideal woman would always be someone who can fend for herself just fine – someone with good intentions and a strength of heart to rival his own. Romance, unfortunately, is a bit of a distraction to his heroic antics... and this spot's already plotted for. Sorry. C':[break][break]
>>> WANTED
Imums, Imums, Imums, Imums. Past, present, future, I don't care. I wanna FIGHT. And, frankly, they probably wanna fight him, so let's do it. Otherwise, he's a member of Omnicron's first team, so fellow Omnicron members would be nice: They can go on missions or just... avoid paperwork together........... I'd also love for him to come across a vigilante, particularly one with less lawful methods, so they can get into a fight over what's acceptable in the take down of crooks without a badge and police car. Aside from that, like... I dunno, if you wanna eat spaghetti out of a bag? Here's your guy.
