I haven't been in an RP in a while, and this went down well last time, so I thought maybe I should restart it. Plus I think I could maybe GM it a little better.
So, if you're new or you've forgotten, the premise of this is basically that Pokemon have somehow crossed universes into the real world. However, what's different from the last one is the setting.
This takes place in the fictional town of Lockwood, Minnesota. A small, wooded town in northeastern Minnesota, it has a very tightly-knit community. And it's the first place that Pokemon have started appearing.
Rules for the RP, well... use common sense. Nowadays these RP rules just go without saying.

Personality:
Background:
Name: Nicholas Parker
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance: Nick is a fairly tall guy for his age, standing at 5'10", although he's rather underweight. He has green eyes covered by thick-framed glasses, and curly black hair. He wears a gray sweatshirt and khaki pants.
Personality: Hailing from North Carolina, Nick can be considered a geek - or at least as much of one as you can get in the South. However, he's somewhat sociable for one. He'll make an effort to talk with people.
Background: Nick comes from a farming family from the Carolinas. They made enough money from their farm that it could support Nick's interest in technology. He got his first computer at age 11, and has been addicted ever since. His family moved to Minneapolis just a few months ago, and they quickly started a new farm there.
Name: Aaron Empory
Age: 16
Gender: M
Appearance: He looks like this.
Name: Tanya Cray
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Appearance: She's about 5' 4", and she's lean, but not really "skinny". Her skin is a bit on the pale side, and her eyes are a deep blue. Her hair is a blue-black color, and goes all the way down her back; she usually wears it down, pulling it up to hide her face (Kinda like Violet from The Incredibles), but once in a while she pulls it back into a long braid.
Her usual clothes are black jeans, a plain t-shirt, black sneakers, and a teal blue sweater with a light brown-colored "T" on the front; a gift from her Mom for her recent birthday. It's not really loose, nor snug-fitting, but she's worn it so much it's already gained an almost homey look and feel to it.
Personality: At school and most of the time she's in public, she's very quiet and calm, to the point where people sometimes forget she's there; she keeps track of her schoolwork very well, so she'll often know most of the questions that are asked in school, but she'll only raise her hand when they're asked if no one else does. If she gets angry or upset to the point where she will speak out about something, however, she will bring up her point and defend it to her best abilities.
At home, she's open and joking with her family, unless she's had a rough day at school, in which case she'll mostly just keep to herself. She tries not to snap at her parents and brothers, but she will if they intrude themselves into her space bubble too much.
Background: Tanya comes from a family of 5; her parents, her older brother, her younger brother, and herself. Her mother is a knitter, and she's been teaching the girl how to knit, though Tanya enjoys making plush toys more than clothing, though she does knit the occasional pair of socks. Her family moved to Lockwood a few years ago when her Dad changed jobs, and she was enrolled in the High School there as a freshman. She doesn't speak up much in class because she's afraid of being picked on for doing better in school than most of her peers, like she was when she started Middle School.
