Negative posts ftw.

Getting Started First off I would like to say thank you for looking into Tohea. Tohea is an online Pokemon role-playing board which is completely text-based. Members register their characters which the staff will evaluate, and if they are up to standards the characters profile and journey will be set up by a staff member and PMed to that member. The registration board can be found here. Once your profile and journey are set up you can to respond to your journey topic with the actions, thoughts, feelings of your character and anything else you feel should be included to get your very own Pokemon journey underway. We allow first and third person role playing, meaning you can either use "I, me, my" or "He, him, his" when replying to your journey. After you reply to your journey you should make a post in the Referee Request Topic, letting the staff know that you're ready for an update. Once you have requested a Referee to update your journey you're free to post in the Member Center, or just wait for your topic to be updated. A staff member will reply to your journey as soon as possible, advancing your story and possibly introducing you to various plots and other situations for your character to react to. Every time you post and are ready for a new update, remember to post in the RRT! A person's journey is completely theirs, and they may do whatever they wish within it, typically train to become a great Pokemon master. There is no "end" to the game, seeing as the journey can essentially go on forever. You should be informed that a staff member has control of things in your journey such as spawning Pokemon, Non-player characters and items, but you are free to interpret how your character reacts to any situation brought forth by your Referee. Feel free to join up with other players as well, forming a tag-team journey! They can be much more rewarding and challenging as your characters travel together and become friends or even rivals. So What's My Goal? While there isn't a set goal for everyone to complete on this forum there is the basic fundamental of becoming a great Pokemon trainer; although some people may opt into being a breeder, coordinator, or some other profession. You are free to journey around the entire continent, catching whatever Pokemon you are spawned or just battling them for the EXP. There are many aspects of the island to explore that don't even have anything to do with Pokemon: from the scientific haven of Riverwood to the curious ruins that can be found in the Ceinine Wastes. Just what is Tohea, and what will become of it? It's up to you to find out! When RPing you typically make a one-post response to what the Referee has given you to work with, but you are more than welcome to make more than one post for character development purposes. It should also be noted that you are free to enter Pokemon Centers and PokeMarts by yourself, saying your party was healed or you purchased items to avoid writing out the entire exchange time after time. When you purchase items without a Referee introducing the Mart to you you won't be eligible to haggle with the employees, meaning everything will be purchased at list price. You also cannot order items on your own and must have a Referee update your journey if you wish to order an item. If you choose to follow a ref through the purchasing process, you may very well be able to talk the vendor into lowering their price - you never know if you'll get lucky! Players have complete control over the feelings, thoughts and actions of their characters, which include the human they registered and any and all Pokemon they capture along the way. You may not control any character that isn't yours, such as wild Pokemon, other trainers and their Pokemon. As explained above, however, you may assume control over the nurses at the Pokemon Center or the employees of a PokeMart when you enter those locations on your own. The only actions permitted are to have your Pokemon healed or to purchase items. If you have any questions please try and find the answer in this forum, or the Mechanics forum. If you are still confused feel free to PM a Staff member right away and we will help you to the best of our ability. The Help! forum is also available should something not be immediately apparent. Is That All? Not quite! Not only do you have the option of playing a trainer character here on Tohea, but you can also roleplay as a Pokemon. You have the choice to apply for a wild Pokemon character, or even one of your friend's Pokemon! Wild Pokemon have journeys of their very own, and can interact with other wild Pokemon or even be challenged to battle by Pokemon or trainers alike. If a Wild Pokemon wishes to join a trainer's journey, they can meet and be captured, just like any other Pokemon. However, if the player of the Pokemon does not consent OOCly to the capture, it will always fail. Pokemon RPers begin with one free egg move of their choice to give them a cutting edge in the game of survival, and otherwise function as normal Pokemon: i.e. they may evolve, breed, etc. |
