My Rogue team app for <3

[App Description]

[March 5 2013]
Hey look! A new team~! I've been working on this for the past week or so. I admit, part of the reason that I made this team was due to some plot points I had come up for my other team. It'll make more sense later on when I recruit their third and fourth members later on. xP
Plus, Nidoran(m) is my most favorite Pokemon, so I figured I'd make a new team featuring one, and I recently fell in love with Slugma as I was playing Pokemon Colosseum a while ago. xD I'm also going to be making these guys rivals of Team Oasis, and that'll be explained more once I can get to work on my M8 entries. Though, their rivalry will already be somewhat shown in the March tasks. I also chose to make the Nidoran(m) identify as a female because it was a golden opportunity to try something new and to create some "character vs self" type conflict in my stories.

[Team Info]

Name:
Zōm (pronounced like "zoom")
Age:
Adult
Gender:
Male, but identifies as Female
Background:
Zōm was often ridiculed for being "female" as she was growing up. She never had the best reputation in the town and made many enemies and many regrets. It was when she was betrayed by her newest "friends" and nearly killed by them setting her house on fire that she decided it was time to leave. She had heard of the Guilds in Tao and resolved that it was the perfect place to restart. Unfortunately, she was attacked as she was trying to leave. She managed to fight off her attackers, but not without consequences. Her ear was torn and her leg was broken. She only managed to stumble as far as Fortissimo Peak before collapsing from fatigue. Thankfully, Ramsey was there to help her. She was extremely thankful for this and for reasons even she was unsure of, (perhaps it was the head trauma) she felt like she could trust this young Slugma and opened up to him. They became close friends, and eventually left together to start a new life.

Name:
Ramsey
Age:
Young Adult
Gender:
Male
Background:
Until recently, Ramsey had been living in Fortissimo Peak with his family and many other fire-type Pokemon. He never strayed far from home due the fact that he was helping his parents care for his many siblings. He was extremely curious of the world and dearly wanted to explore it. His parents knew this and often tried to get him to actually follow his dreams. He wanted to, but something was holding him back. The world was simply too big, and he was at a loss as to where to go. At least, he was until he met Zōm. The day he met her was when he was out on one of his strolls. He noticed her collapse into the dusty ground and rushed over to help. He brought her home and the healers in Fortissimo Peak helped her out. The pair became fast friends, and often spoke about the outside world and all of it's wonders. When Zōm was healthy again, she asked Ramsey if he would accompany her on her travels. After all, it was safer to travel in pairs, and she knew Ramsey wanted nothing more than to see the world. Without a seconds hesitation, he agreed and the pair left to start their adventure.

Oh. My. God.

Help I'm dying from how amazing they are. ; 3 ; YOU HAVE A SLUGMA CHARACTER. ALL OF THE PROPS. I loooove these two, I'd be really interested in cameoing both of them... And I'd reeeeeeeeeeeeeally like to see Zōm and Astor interact at some point.

Sorry, gushing too much, but holy crap they are awesome.

omg Don't die. ;A; -throws first aid kits-
It warms my heart to know they're loved so much. haha :'D
And don't worry, the feeling is mutual. I'd love to cameo your characters as well~
Plus Astor and Zōm interacting just sounds plain awesome. NIDORANS FTW! >8D

Bahahaha!

I've never seen a Slugma character before, so that was exciting for me, because oh my goodness they are too cute.

AND YAY. <3 Feel free to use Astor or Ciela too, I'll have their app out by the end of the month. : D

I'm quite curious about Zōm tho', she just seems really rad. ; )

VazlaKat In reply to Zeph-yr [2013-05-09 06:39:11 +0000 UTC]

I had never actually paid Slugma much attention until I played Pokemon Colosseum and had a Magcargo on my team and realized they were pretty cool Pokemon. I just had to have a Slugma character after playing through that game, and thus, Ramsey was born! I couldn't be happier with that 'lil blob of joy. haha xD

I shall look forward to that! :3

Yah, I've been working more on her backstory lately, and it's pretty intense so far. LOL Full of misunderstandings and a crazy ex-girlfriend. I'm hoping Rogues will be going to Gambitville soon, so I can bring all that drama from Zōm's past to life. I'm so evil to my characters. >xD

Zeph-yr In reply to VazlaKat [2013-05-09 11:43:42 +0000 UTC]

I had a Magcargo on my first run through Gold, and fell in love with him when I brought him up on Stadium 2 and his little jowl-things were wobbly when he used Flamethrower. HE MELTED MY HEART... WITH FLAMETHROWER.

Ahh! Can't wait to hear all of it. ... I've kinda been less than kind with my character's backstories too, so I understand how that feels. ;'''D

Does Zōm only like girls?? It's super interesting to have that dynamic, where she knows she's female and likes girls. : DD

VazlaKat In reply to Zeph-yr [2013-05-11 22:28:20 +0000 UTC]

LOL Adorable jaw-goop and flamethrower ftw! Who wouldn't be charmed by that? haha xD

I was heavily considering having her be bi, but I decided to have Zōm like boys only. I have a couple plot points in her backstory that wouldn't really make sense if she did like girls. :'D She grew up in a very close-minded community and had to pretend to be something she wasn't for quite some time to avoid trouble from her parents and society. So you could argue that Zōm used her ex as a shield from society for a while. She did feel a bit guilty about it, but she really did love her ex, just not romantically.

Zeph-yr In reply to VazlaKat [2013-05-11 23:37:34 +0000 UTC]

Exactly, goopy magma slugs. :0 Obviously the cutest.

Ahhhhh I have to get Ciela and Astor up and running!!! Oh jeez.

THAT IS SO COOL. Wow, what a lovely backstory... Is that why she's kind of severe and not the warmest in personality? Ish actually grew up in a similar community, except with a very strange religion influencing everything...

I WANT TO KNOW ZōM BETTER!! I just... Want... To throw her and Astor together. Astor is the opposite of Zōm, he's trying to push down his naturally rather feminine personality. He's very delicate and enthusiastic and loves girly things, but feels like he has to be more masculine for some reason, in spite of unconditional support from his family. : ) He's attracted to both genders, but reeeeeeally kinda struggles with liking boys.

AH, sorry, rambling!

VazlaKat In reply to Zeph-yr [2013-05-14 05:29:37 +0000 UTC]

Yah, her upbringing is pretty much why she's pretty distrusting. But the events that caused her to leave her hometown inspired her to not give a rat's ass about hiding the fact that she identifies as a girl. She's more into standing up for herself than running away and hiding behind fake masks. Which also had a side-effect of making her a bit blunt with her opinions. haha

I don't mind the rambling, you've got lots of cool facts to say. >8D These two really are opposites though, even their names even begin with letters from the opposite sides of the alphabet. LOL xD But I can totally see them rambling about all of the unfair things in the world and wishing to switch bodies or something. They'd act like each others foils and create some epic character interaction. 8D

Zeph-yr In reply to VazlaKat [2013-05-15 20:17:35 +0000 UTC]

She's soooo cool. :0 And that's really lovely, maybe some nice boy will break a tiny hole in her defensiveness one day. -Laughs-

HAH, A AND Z. Didn't catch that before. ; ) Bahahaha! Astor would probably just... Be kind of bashful at first, because he gets rather smitten with blunt and strong-willed people, and he'll be super impressed when he finds out about Z's gender. : ) She'd probably be annoyed with his fawning over her, even in his twitchy bashfulness, yeah?

VazlaKat In reply to Zeph-yr [2013-05-21 22:27:50 +0000 UTC]

Well Ramsey is proof that's possible and that she does in fact have room in her heart for friends. : D

omg Just imagining that, and it's so adorable. LOL
That sounds about right for her reaction to Astor. I'm sure she'd warm up to him eventually though. She wouldn't be used to people giving her positive attention and would secretly appreciate that. xD

Zeph-yr In reply to VazlaKat [2013-05-28 21:56:22 +0000 UTC]

AWWWWW THAT'S CUTE AH.

Exactly, and that's to be expected, BUT MAYBE ONE DAY he'll wear down her wall enough to not be scared to be around her. -Laughs-

I hope you don't mind, I have Ramsey cameoing in one of the May Tasks, at the very bottom of the page here: [link]

Hoping to find some time to maybe get another cameo in soon. : D

Yes, one day! And I bet it would be an epic day as well! >8D

o: !!
haha He's so amused by the scene! xD Thanks for the cameo!
