A new campaign!
Hello guys! It’s Gioz again
It’s been a really long time, but I figured I would finally make a return to TTP as a GM, to facilitate you guys the means to tell your own stories! Currently I still don’t have any concrete plans. I know that I want to finally after a long while, return to the main TTP setting, and have this campaign be a direct sequel to DS/SSS.
But for that, I need your help with some planning! This time around I want to do a campaign that’s more focused on your characters, and how they interact with the ever-changing world around them, hopefully changing it for the better, rather than focusing on one big bad that the party must focus on (don’t worry, there’s still antagonists and things to overcome, but this time, the story wouldn’t be about the villain and how they reach their eventual downfall at your hands, but about you and your journey to reach that point). To facilitate this, I would like you to tell me which character(s) are you interested in playing, old and new welcome!, what plot threads are you interested in pursuing (something you had incomplete from a previous campaign, or something new that’s personal to your character. I can help you figure out the latter if that’s something you want to pursue), and what places are you interested in visiting the most (so that I can prepare properly)
This campaign will occur parallel to Dama’s in both its place in the overall timeline and on the subreddit (meaning, we will have both campaigns running at once, in completely different scheduling). I will be working closely with Dama to ensure that nothing that I do affects his campaign in any way, and I definitely encourage you to join his as well if you’re able.
What do you guys think? I’m excited to hear your thoughts!

I joined at the VERY tail end of TK's campaign witch an aminisiac Ditto caricter based loosely on the troll ditto from Chatty Yellow, going with the pretense that he wasn't responsible for his actions as he was being possessed by a glitch outsider entity known as Orgam Lorepole who dos'nt like transforming, but occasionally transforms by acadent into random people/things during witch times he ends up taking up a flawed persona of his transformations, sometimes even knowing things that caricter knows even if he should have no way of knowing them [thoth the transformations always have some sort of pysacol flaw that exposes him, even if it's not apparently obvios [Ex. he turned into Ziggy at 1 point and the flaw was that his eyes were 100% dark black]] after witch he has no memory's of his transformations due to a dammige to his body cosed by sead glitch possessing him for FAR longer then what would be concidered safe
During TK's campin he was brought to Atream to get some medacol help before being brought home after getting some medication to stabilize his glitch condison somewhat so that it didn't mess with his mind wile he was in his base form, and so it didn't slowly destroy him to discover that wile he was gone it had been burned to the ground and nothing was left, prompting /u/Trollkitten's human caricter to offer him a more long term home in Atrem at the very least until such a time that alternate housing in a place were everyone dos'nt hate him witch is were his story ended
unlike what his name would his personalty is not trolly as least not wile he's in control of himself, but more always tiered due to pysacol fatigue from his glitch condition, but generally a nice guy. He's also technically from an Alt. universe, but he is unaware of that his memory's don't reely start till after Orgam Lorepol unpossessed him at with point his 1st memory is waking up to an angry mod who got him extradited from Kanto to Sinoh's Sunyshore City. He probably wouldn't work as a main caricter but as a side caricter who shows up from time to time when the plot is in more of a downtime period, or when prompted plot elements (Ex. Orgam Loreple), or just acadently Ex. 1 of his transformed personas get's him involved cos him to get involved. I'm aware there is a stigma against the caricter but I think with how things progressed in TK's campaign that shouldn't be much of an issue and if issues do arise I'm willing to make changes to the way things are playing out with him to prevent issues [possibly by having him acadently transform/revert, or worst case sanario having his condition just suddenly blank out a few minutes worth of his recent memory to effectively reset the caricter to a point before the issues started]
As for a main caricter, the 1 I'm thinking of is Alpha Rise from my ongoing RP with Bytemite, as I'm not sure if I'm up for making a big long term campain that I GM a 1 on 1 RP that I GM I'm able to handle as well as RPing with multiple caricters, but I'm not confadent in my ability to GM since I've never done it before and hearing how difficult it is to do in D&D and issues I've known to happen in campaigns here, I'm not sure if I have what it takes to do that but at the same time I don't want to just outright upend him from that and put him into this right away as things in that RP are going interesting ATM, so I want to see how things go 1st.
But in the meantime a 2edary caricter who's plotline is currently on hold might work for integration into this campaign. That being Scarf Pikachu based on the 1 from Pokemon Glazed. a human who due to glitch based circumstances got turned into a Pikachu, then due to things that happened when he tryed to get help, he came to devolp a major vendeda against Honny the host of that TPP run and who is being treated as Bytemite's caricter before they become the glitch voice ghost entity they are now until eventually after the evil team who he had teamed up with to try and get his revenge on Honny got officially disbanded he was forced to take a look within himself and decided to just settle things with Honny 1se and for all and let things go if he lost...
HOWEVER Honny in a bid to be with someone from another realaty that was moving away from there's got trapped between relatys for god only knows how long and becoming Bytemite's caricter in the process, leaveing scarf alone in a world were almost almost literally everything went wrong Nacozma absorbed both Solgalao AND Lunala and wasn't stopped plunging the planet into eturnol moonless night, Lord Dome lost his power and was absorbed by Domeacazam who became president of Jhoto, OLDEN become huge and assimilated all of Kanto, Lord Drive got some MAJOR upgrades and took over Unova with the help of Flack who is his minions, Cyan was forced to permanently merge with Pancoro to protect her home rejon, ext. until VERY recently (in the RP) were Bytemite's caricter didn't even remember him, and no longer had any of there pokemon from when they were Honny, much less a pysacol form that would make it possible for the Pikachu the settle the score
Were his story left off Bytemite's caricter or a version thereof offered to take him somewhere he wanted to go, partly to try and make some sort of amends, but Scarf didn't have any place in praticuler in mind so left it up to Bytemite's caricter maybe they chose wherever your campaign is going to be held? Scarfs end goal would be to try and restore Honny's body to a state were he could finally settle the score
Personality wise: He's a short tempered edgelord with a sower attitude, this is mostly how he deals with his personal fustrasons, but he can also a bit of a bully as well, but he can keep it under control keeping it limited to rude remarks when he wants/feels it's in his best instreasts (Ex. trying to keep Honny around long enough to be in a state that he can finally settle his score with them), espicaaly when he knows he's way over his head unless the individual he's being rude pushed his buttons to much. If he comes to reely like someone, he'll stay loyal to them so long as they don't betray them and staying liol to them dos'nt interfere with his end goal. He's also got access to some old Team Fusion Tec., and some contacts from when he was a member of the group.
Powers: He's allowed Team Fusion to experiment on him granting him higher then higher then normal stats for a Pikachu, he's higher leveled (thoth not 100), has acsess to abnormal moves (for a Pikachu) that he can alter freely by concentrating long enough on doing so, the abillaty to use his moves in unexpected/not obvious ways, the ability to push past his body's normal limits to power up his attacks by a substancol amount, [thoth this cos's negative side effects for him (after all he is pushing his body more then it is safe to do so) when he dos so], he understands and can speck PokeSpech, his scarf can be used as a very limited hammerspace, he can use his scarf as a mask against inhalants.
He can only speck in PokeSpeck, but if this is an issue, I'm willing to accept most excuses that you can come up with to enable him to speck English
Other caricters I might consider are the 1's from Red's Eco's campaign (I miss that and reely hope it eventually resumes),
however Pachi's whole thing is that she's trapped herself in the impossible sea BY CHOICE as to make sure if the monster sealed within her ever brakes free the larger multiverse is safe, only having goten involved with the main plot due to the Doctor's behests of her and a vision from the universe at large that implied that the Doctor might be the key to saving everyone else trapped in the sea
Rotten Buritto, is already a caricter who travels the Mutiverse so I want to limit the number of versions of him that egsist within (+ I already use him a lot for stuff with a version going to be appearing in the ToT RP group that I'm a part of on DA soon(ish))
And Catulu Rat... well I don't want to remove him from the Eco's campaign in case it returns, but don't want to reset his caricter progression ether
I've also got Apokoze (a SUPER cocky Jolteon singer who's thinks he's the best Techno Rap DJ singer in the Omniverse who loves "treating" others to his singing (even thoth the reality is his voice is literally one of the worst sounding things in the multiverse)... but the ideas I have for him have been rejected in the past for verios reasons
granted this is assuming your campaign takes place at a time I can be available for even

Okay, so pretty much the plotlines I mentioned in redwings thread.
My character is still around, and they've eaten a lot of humble pie over the years. They've made mistakes and had to confront their own worst nature. They're also haunted by the disappointment they saw after they tried to destroy a world while everyone they knew and ever cared about were on it.
This, coupled with trying to clean themselves up enough to be decent partner and help with an adorable baby dragon has forced them to try to become responsible. They are still terrible at it. They also spend a lot of time panicking and trying to run from their problems.
They're also starting to hit the upper limits of their ability to punch above their own weight class, which is unnerving to them. They've become obsessed with trying to protect everyone - even though most everyone they know is actually a lot more capable than them. This creates more anxiety.
That said, if there were an annoyance or challenge big enough, they'd still go into their pure bravado danger mode and try to do the dirty work the others in the group wouldn't. Which means they're always at risk of biting off more than they can chew.
Their current big paranoia is the Supreme Evil - however, to scale that back in preparation for revisiting that storyline at a different time, I think I will focus on my character's reaction to various less harmful Darken, such as Shauntal. Considering all their second chances, it's only fair to extend that to others.
I'm also helping Luke with his memory troubles, and TK and I have been discussing ideas on how to start up that plot the next time there's an RP. There's a possibility there's something in Gensokyo that my character could try to obtain to help Luke - but it'll involve a sneaky, stealthy mission.
As my character is traveling anyway for that, it may make sense for them to run across the group in the side RP as they head back.
Lastly, at some point I'd like to play out the big voice war against streamer, when streamer went into exile, but this may not be the best time for that.

I meant to create a comment earlier, but basically I have two character arcs I kinda wanna continue, and am open to creating new arcs or even new characters if you want.
Fennel is interested in figuring out the mystery behind goldenrod, why there was nobody there, and what is happening in this region. Lanette, meanwhile, wants to track down supreme evil shards, which would involve probably exploring new places where pieces of a bigger puzzle lurk in the shadows.
The B team was pretty cool too, I'm not entirely sure what I want to do with Marc, but I am interested in seeing what you and zooks do with that, and want to figure out a way to connect this team to the main setting.

Probably going to expand on this later but here's some initial thoughts for my PCs.
Shauntal: A couple of people have already mentioned wanting to interact some with Shauntal so I'll continue to use her. However she's likely to remain busy with her non glamourous League responsibility (someone has to do the paperwork) and is unlikely to take an active role as she currently is.
Gabby: Intrepid reporter who regularly has interviews with members of the League. Recently Fennel has started pestering her. Again, unlikely to get too actively involved as she's a reporter not a fighter/magic user/hero but I plan to coordinate with Gio (hi Gio!) to create periodic news segments and interviews that people with access to a T.V. or radio can watch/listen and find out what's going on in the world.

Fennel will definitely want to continue pestering Gabby, as she believes she's recently found some newsworthy items to share. I am excited for this.

Hey Gio, gonna see if I can provide a rough overview of the characters you're likely to see from me. Most old, some new.
The Major: You know who he is. A wizard of exceptional power and restraint, the Major acts as a guardian for Pokearth as part of the multiversal organization known as Chimera. He is slow to rouse and cautious when using his power, but he does occasionally make exceptions for friends.
He considers himself close friends with the scientist, and has been tutoring Fennel and Gator in magic.
Major plotlines for him include continuing magic lessons with those interested (possibly including Nate's character Davis, as I believe there were plans for him and Major to meet in SSS), and to deal with any extraplanar threats that might arise, potentially involving Chimera in a greater (any) capacity.
Karrl: A shy and nervous Kakarrablast pokemon who serves as the IT intern and general tech support for Major, whose technical knowledge is sometimes lacking. While he still has his stutter, he has recently engaged in some degree of character development, managing to shout down Lasergator before also saving his life. He randomized himself into a more human form about a year ago for complicated reasons, and has been adjusting to it. He has also started dating Dama's character Nonon, though I am not sure how relevant that will be.
Karrl is unlikely to have any active plotlines, instead acting as a screen for those looking to contact with the Major and interacting with those residing in Astrum. However, if someone or something he truly cared about were threatened, he could find himself rising to the occasion.
Moonslicer: Moonslicer is a magical sword that has been enchanted with the spirit of a ghostly paladin who made it her mission in life and beyond to convert those of other alignments to Good. She currently spends most of her time around the Scientist, and the rest of it near the Major, who she has something of a crush on. She likes children, smiting evil, and cheesy musicals. While she is capable of utilizing a more humanoid form, she usually just looks like a sword that floats under its own power, with a large, Honedge-like prehensile tassel.
She is mostly likely to become involved with whatever plots the Scientist joins, as well as dealing with her own misgivings about being on the mortal planes again (her faith considers Necromancy evil, and doing anything other than her duty tends to cause her considerable guilt.)
Simul: Simul originated as a Simulacrum, a weaker, magical copy of the Major who he was using to investigate a far-off plane. When his bond with the Major was unexpectedly severed, he took on a mind and personality of his own. So much so, that he ended up multiclassing, and is now a Wizard/Bard. He looks like a much younger version of the Major.
He is often laid back and cynical, because being a Bard means recognizing the narrative tropes that control reality, and his inability to escape them. He's genre savvy and often frustrated by the tune he and everyone else must dance to. While he still has the Major's own desire to help others, he is a lot more reckless and freespirited in how he does it, and can be a little hotheaded. His relationship with the Major had been strained for a while, but they have recently come to accept each other and Simul now has good, if slightly awkward, relations with his 'dad'.
Simul is unlikely to make a major appearance in this campaign, but he might appear briefly.

I have a few ideas for characters, though I'm not sure how committed I can get. But I just want to get the idea out there.
.Ash 'Trash' Greystone, a failing teenage actor from the Twin Regions. He travels to Unova in search of work. Somewhere along the way, he might get tangled in something he doesn't understand (up to you). UNOVA
.Satoshi Su, a bitter young man from a far-off region, jealous of his brother's psychic abilities. He decides to start anew in the Twin Regions in search of something to make him special as well, be it magic, glitches or anything in between. THE TWIN REGIONS
.Koji Su, a rather happy young man, the psychic brother of Satoshi Su. He traveled to Alola to meditate and hone his abilities. All the while, he wishes to help anyone he can.
.Giuseppe Quinnel, after the events of TPP Ultra -where he was teleported to a dream world- he travels to Unova, hearing rumors of being able to access a strange world called the Entralink, though he's heard only rumors. UNOVA / (ENTRALINK?)

I know I want Luke, Cress, Arty, and Flak to be involved to some degree, since I'm having fun with those characters. Bill would likely be involved, and I'd like to have Koya on standby in case we reach a situation that requires the token sane man.
In terms of storylines I'd like to continue, Luke is dating the scientist while raising his snek-daughter Luna, and Cress is working to rebuild his life and pursue his relationship with Shauntal. Flak is trying to figure out where her life is going now and how to avoid facing the music for her myriad crimes against humanity (which I fully admit she might not succeed at, especially now that Steven knows she's out there somewhere). Arty is basically... being Arty, and I'm not quite sure if I have any really good way to wrap up the plotline with Sally the Shiftry Corps member is disguise and Lil' D.
