welcome to calamity! we are an au pokemon site based in hoenn. we do not have canons so you can pick them as your fcs! we have a short one hundred word word count. and you get to also pick your own starter! calamity is going to focus on providing users with a good and stable plot line to follow. this helps each character progress and some might even have a play in affecting the plot! we hope you enjoy your time here and if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask.
hey guys! we've finally hit our three month mark! let's stay strong. the activity check and gala have ended, if your character has been archived and you need them back please pm one of the admins! unfortunately, noods has steped down from his admin position. make sure you say your goodbyes here!

ARIES BELLFLOWER
sixteen ⋆ trainer ⋆ hipster ⋆ dorky brat
Feeling my way through the darkness, Guided by a beating heart. I can't tell where the journey will end, But I know where to start. They tell me I'm too young to understand, They say I'm caught up in a dream; Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes. Well that's fine by me. So wake me up when it's all over, When I'm wiser and I'm older; All this time I was finding myself, And I didn't know I was lost ~
INFO
aries is a total child. he eats desert first and kicks and screams when he doesn't get his way. he also thinks he's a really cool hipster, but he's probably just a giant loser. he likes cute pokemon, and can't stand being alone for long periods of time. he moved to hoenn to live with his aunt and uncle when his parents (johto natives) decided they couldn't take care of him and his sisters. he attended the trainer school in rustboro, and is finally starting the big journey ~
FRIENDS
despite the fact that he's a bit selfish and childish, aries is actually a really friendly guy. he loves being amongst tons of people. the sound of people talking comforts him, and being with other people puts him at ease. he's actually a really nice guy, even if he comes off as a big baby or insufferable hipster at first. trust me, he's the kind of guy who's just really easy to get along with, when given the chance.
i'd love to get him a traveling buddy. even if they're not always together, having someone he can rely on when he's scared or alone would be super nice!!
ENEMIES
well, aries is a big fat crybaby when he loses (which is pretty often, tbh), so i'm sure he has enemies somewhere. people who can't stand that charming smile and flirtatious bat of the eye. yeah... that, and he's a total brat, and i'm sure there's a good handful of people who want to watch this kid burn. please, introduce yourselves, become his rival. i'll love you 5evur. especially if your character is actually competent with pokemon ~
warning: aries sometimes bites people he doesn't like. it's a habit. most of the time he probably doesn't even realize he's doing it until it happens... he also bites people to get their attention, but that's a whole other story.
LOVE
ahaha... aries is a very flirtatious child. he'll send wink-y faces and flirty looks at just about anybody - he doesn't discriminate between sexes - and he'll hook up. but that's pretty much it. aries isn't really into long-term arrangements. they get boring and that's lame. if you were to put a name to aries' love life it would probably be 'scared of commitment' because he totally is. he doesn't want to be the one left in the dust with a broken heart, so he ends things quickly to protect his heart. still, if he met that special someone and they'd have to be very special for him to even consider he'd probably fall before he even realized what was going on. which i'd be totally down for, somewhere down the road.
RIVER OAKLEY
SEVENTEEN ⋆ COORDINATOR ⋆ ELECTRIC TRAINER
"We were born sick," you heard them say it. My church offers no absolutes, She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom." The only heaven I'll be sent to Is when I'm alone with you. I was born sick, But I love it. Command me to be well Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen. Take me to church I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife Offer me that deathless death Good God, let me give you my life
INFO
river is an awkward young man. he's not very good with people, and he's pretty terrified of women. he came to hoenn from castelia city in unova, so he could participate in pokemon contests and such (he's really not into the whole musical scene in unova, ok). after growing up in a busy city like castelia, river really dislikes how quiet the hoenn region can get.
FRIENDS
he's awkward and rude and not a people person by any means. making friends has been a challenge for river since childhood, so he's pretty used to being on his own. still, friends are really nice to have, and he can be very protective of the few friends he does have, so that's a bonus.
ENEMIES
considering the fact that river is kind of a dick, i'm sure he has plenty of these. especially fellow coordinators that he's competing with. he's arrogant when it comes to his talents, and he'll show anybody up who tries to cross him or his electrike, kirin. also, if you're a ground-type lover/trainer, river has a bone to pick with you. just sayin'.
he's also terrified of women, especially the ones who can kick his ass. he really has no idea how to deal with girls, so having a few who can knock his ego down a peg would be a+ awesome ~
LOVE
river is gay as fuck (he's also scared of women, so i mean... not much of an option, really). either way, he's not that good at just making friends, and relationships are a whole other ballgame that he's even worse at. being socially-awkward doesn't help his case either. also, he's never actually been in a relationship, so he would have absolutely zero clue of what to do... but if you wanna hop aboard this train, i'm sure something could be figured out over time. slow, awkward builds are my favorite, anyway.
if anybody wants to plot further, feel free to post below or ask for my skype via pm!
D'awe, let's have a brotherly love relationship. Maybe he and Raizel can challenge each other for fun from time to time, and perhaps Raizel can let him win on purpose whenever he sees Aries lose a battle because he doesn't like to see the little guy cry. <3 So basically, I think they should have a best friend/brotherly loving relationship with one another just cause it'd be so kawaii to cheer the poor guy up. <3

ARIES & RAIZEL - raizel is so cute holy wow!! and i can totally see them being bros. especially if they can do that thing where they make kissy faces at each other and get cuddly sometimes while keeping things strictly platonic and all. because that would be A+ hella cute. and aries would deff go support raizel in his coordinating, too, cuz that's what bros do, right?
and omg letting aries win fights to make him feel better is so cute, holy shit plz.
Yes to it all~! <3 Lol, we can thread whenever you're ready~! He's currently within the first town, so perhaps we can meet on the second town~! Mind you he can be pree dominant.
I feel like Nikki might treat him like a little brother lol and indulge all his dorkiness cause he'd find it pre cute. unlike his moody prissy traveling companion but yeah lol so maybe a kind of friendship where its almost brotherly and they get into mischief every once in a while? they can play the rating game together for whoever passes by them and nikkie can teach him pick up lines >D but yeah lulz Nikkie used to be a former Magma Admin but he left after deciding that they weren't exactly for him anymore. he's currently traveling around with another magma grunt who also left the group soooo tons of things that could be done they dont even have to be friends if you dont wanna

ARIES & NIKLAUS - how awkward would it be if aries thought nikki was a girl at first? because that's a great way to be introduced to someone... "oh, hey, i thought you were the opposite gender, my bad!" i like this very much so far, mmhmm ~ hurray for another nice team magma person (well, in this case, former) to confuse aries's sense of 'good and bad' ~ i like the idea that they'd be almost like brothers. aries didn't really grow up with a brother-figure in his life, so he'd appreciate nikki's willingness to hang out with his hipster ass ~
no plz this boy doesn't need any more bad pickup lines... but obviously this needs to be a thing, regardless.
omgh yes please cause that would be the funniest thing eveeer especially since thats one of his pet peeves lulz it must be canooooon pfft i wouldn't call him nice persay but yes <33 XD he probably will go mucking up Aries sense of good and bad, especially with his contradicting personality lol. Nikkie has a younger brother...and sister >.> so he'd definitely see them in Aries and just be protective and all "Nonono, you're doing it wrong. This is how you approach someone you're trying to shack up with." he wont be a very good influence im sorry but lulz he'd definitely be more than willing to hang with him though especially since i imagine he's missing being a big brother a bit x3
Nikkie says there are no such thing as bad pick up lines. There are merely corny ones that make girls laugh and let their guard down so you can swoop in for the kill >D

aries bellflower Why, hello Aries. Meet the woman who is as afraid of commitment as you are. These two I feel like would go really far, given that she doesn't yabber about her being team aqua. If he ever cares. ahem. What? Seriously though, the fact that the both of them don't like commitment is awesome because she totes doesn't. She would, however, be all over him like he's the business. I'm pretty sure they might just end up buddies. She'd def be somebody he could rely on to be there when he is lonely. She also wouldn't mind the biting once she realized it's just his way of showing he wants some attention. Like a puppy. Then she might just promptly kiss him.... ahem. What?
river oakley Pretty sure Nia might scare the frack out of River... but she would want to be his friend. She's just so tough, but she's pretty, but she's a woman. So. Yeah. She wouldn't understand why he would avoid her, and constantly be trying to find a way to close the distance between them because he's adorable and she might wanna pet him or pat his head and it might freak him out but yeah.
Ideas or suggestions?
