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 the activity check and gala have ended, if your character has been archived and you need them back please pm one of the admins!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!

FAVORITE POKEMON/TYPE/REGION
Espeon I guess, Lapras, THE REAL OG PANGORO, and Scizor tbh. Favorite type is either ice or rock DON'T SLEEP ON ROCK TYPES FAM, LOOK LEMME EXPLAIN. So back in the day we had rock pokemon and it was groovy, but then in gen 2 people were like
'AH STEEL THE BETTER ROCK' STEEL MASTER RACE.
But here's the thing. Rock never got bad ya'll. Rock pokemon the sleeping giant./ Favorite region. I unno honestly I like Hoenn cause it's super tropical and wet, Kalos is dope too cause i'm big on fashion.
WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND A HOLIDAY? Italy, Japan, or Korea honestly, dream is to live in a seaside town outta the country tbh.
ONE UNIQUE FACT ABOUT YOU I spend my days long boarding down mountains going about 40 miles an hour without gear other than gloves..
I've lived in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina happened, and New York when 9/11 happened, kinda a disaster magnet.
I'm really into men's fashion
I've peed out a window
crossdressed for money
and chased by a baby cow for half a mile.
Other shit i'm not proud of.

BEHIND THE NAME well it started when some friends and I wanted to make a site and were also trying to discover a theme for our mod names. breakfast food was one of them and i chose toast.....also i really, really like toast. like really like toast.
GENDER AND AGE AND WHERE YOU LIVE well i am 22 years old and live in the united states. just know i live in a really boring state and its one of those states where you wont name first if i told you to guess. it would actually be way down at the bottom of the list.
FAVORITE POKEMON/TYPE/REGION i really like fire and ghost types. typhlosion and gengar are my favorite pokemon. favorite region is also johto because honestly it has the best pokemon.
WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND A HOLIDAY? i want to take a trip out of the country and see the world really. i would love to go to italy because venice and canals thoooooo. like i want to live there butyouknowwhatever
ONE UNIQUE FACT ABOUT YOU hmmm i used to collect movie tickets. i think the earliest one i have is pirates of the carribean movie. ummmm i am also obsessed with dragon age....beat that game like four times. the first one that is... yeah i play that a lot. ummm i was a military brat so i have moved all over.
BEHIND THE NAME my name is julia and friends call me juls for short! i was named after one of my great-grandmothers as well as the beatles song - grew up listening to them and they ended up becoming one of my favourite bands.
GENDER AND AGE AND WHERE YOU LIVE asl? lol. female, 21, and i'm living in alberta canada. my home is calgary but i'm in banff for the summer for work.
FAVORITE POKEMON/TYPE/REGION really tough but I'd have to say flying... water... and electric? can i have three? hoenn 5ever. and my all-time favourite pokemon is pikachu. i can't help it. so cute.
WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND A HOLIDAY? a beach-focused holiday, i'd go back to nice, france, but next summer i'm planning a trip to scotland with my boyfriend. also on the list is japan and greece!
ONE UNIQUE FACT ABOUT YOU i've been in 13 countries but i wanna visit a lot more! i also have a feather collection.
BEHIND THE NAME Well honestly I don't know. I normally go as Arty, or Jin but after reading up on Jason Todd and Red hood I just knew I had to use him as a fc. with a fc like this, having two names just fit and what's better than red? It's simple, but has a certain tone about it. Iunno...I'm boring xD
GENDER AND AGE AND WHERE YOU LIVE I am a man! Ahem...I'm twenty-four, which is insane to me that i'm this old now. I live in York, Pa. I've been here all my life but I've been to canada, new york, maryland, and California.
FAVORITE POKEMON/TYPE/REGION Favorite pokemon? Houndoom, easy. Charizard is a very close second, and is my favorite gen one pokemon but houndoom is just so fucking badass. Favorite type? Fire and Dark. The two of them just seem to compliment one another well enough. Region? Sinnoh. It has the most pokemon I really like. Also the only gen where I like all of the starters a lot.
WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND A HOLIDAY? Pfft I don't know man. Anywhere I spend a holiday I'd likely just as quickly want to stay there. York is so safe to me. I want somewhere new, so perhaps Japan?
ONE UNIQUE FACT ABOUT YOU I keep several snakes and lizards. Ball Pythons mostly. I have five atm, and plan on getting more. They're just so fun to handle, and easy to take care off. Boring, I know.

FREAK
BEHIND THE NAME Well, I've always been an outcast on the sites I've joined, whether it's because I get banned, or I just seem to clash socially. So Freak just kinda embodies that about me. I've always been a tad bit eccentric, and I sometimes go out of my way to try and fit in. Obviously it doesn't always work out. I've also gone by Loner, Absolem and Holiday, but before all that I went by my OOC name Jonny (short for Jonathan) just because.
GENDER AND AGE AND WHERE YOU LIVE I'm a male, twenty (20) years old, and I live in the state of Pennsylvania (City of Harrisburg). It's actually pretty ghetto where I live, though there are parts of Pennsylvania not far from where I currently live (where I used to live), and they have hicks & rednecks. But for now I am right outside of the ghetto/projects. Pretty diverse state, if you ask me.
FAVORITE POKEMON/TYPE/REGION Gengar was my original favorite pokemon, however my favorite pokemon type is neither (Unless you want to say Grass, Fire & Water for the starters), as I really don't like pokemon based on type alone. Typically, I like pokemon based on their aesthetics, so anything that looks cool and has gradually improving evolution stages will be on my list of good pokemon. My favorite region is and will always be Kanto. After all, it's where everything originated, and my all-time favorites Blastoise, Charizard, Dragonite, Gengar & Slowbro are from there.
WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND A HOLIDAY? Kanto region. All jokes aside, somewhere kinda remote, but not near the coast. I love the ocean & boardwalks, but deep water & heights are my phobias. I'd probably love to go to Croatia, in the nice places they filmed 'Game of Thrones'. The actors said it was lovely there in terms of weather year round, and I am part Croatian so it'd be neat to take a trip and see what it's like over there. Not to mention it's beautiful there, at least in the pictures.
ONE UNIQUE FACT ABOUT YOU I had a sledding accident when I was little. I had a big red slash on my forehead, sort of like Harry Potter. When I sustained the wound, my dad said he could see apparently see my brain. I never went to the hospital, so I think he just overexaggerated. Though it was probably the most painful thing I've experienced, as I've never broken a bone or anything.
I was also on probation before as a minor (juvenille). Lesson learned: Don't give in to peer pressure, and don't steal bikes. Even if you need it to get to the next city.
BEHIND THE NAME I like mlp. GENDER AND AGE AND WHERE YOU LIVE not telling. FAVORITE POKEMON/TYPE/REGION gardevoir. fairy. sinnoh. WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND A HOLIDAY? the pokemon world, following 'e for everyone' game canon. ONE UNIQUE FACT ABOUT YOU at the moment, i'm listening to a cover of a disney song.
BEHIND THE NAME ONCE UPON A TIME, ON A WEBSITE FAR FAR AWAY, A GIRL JOINED BECAUSE SHE WAS INTERESTED IN NARUTO FANFICTION THAT INVOLVED SELF-INSERTION. THAT GIRL ALSO DECIDED THAT WOLVES WERE HER FAVORITE ANIMAL FOR WHATEVER RANDOM REASONS (SHE WAS GIVEN A JACKET WITH A WOLF ON IT ONCE JUST OUT OF THE BLUE AND I GUESS THAT'S WHEN SHE WAS LIKE "YES THIS IS MY THING NOW"). WHEN THE LITTLE BOX POPPED UP FOR HER TO COME UP WITH A NAME, SHE THOUGHT OF HER FAVORITE ANIMAL AND HER FAVORITE COLOR/METAL/ELEMENT(?) AT THE TIME. FROM THEN ON, YE OLDE QUIZILLA HAD THE MEMBER WOLFXOFXSILVER IN THEir MEMBER DATABASE FOREVER MORE. AND THEN THAT WAS TOO LONG, SO SHE DECIDED TO CALL HERSELF WOLFY. IT JUST KIND OF STUCK AND TBH IS KIND OF EMBARRASSING TO MENTION OUT LOUD BUT YEAH. THAT GIRL IS ME BTW. IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW. DON'T READ MY OLD FANFICTIONS PLS I DONT WANT YOUR PERCEPTIONS OF ME TO BE UTTERLY RUINED KTHX.
GENDER AND AGE AND WHERE YOU LIVE im a seventeen-year-old cis girl that's pansexual and lives in the wannabe-confederate ridden state of tennessee. ngl i actually love this state and i think it's by far one of the prettiest in the u.s., if not the prettiest, but i come from a very long line of rednecks that have only gotten better and more modernized over recent decades. like very recent. but uh, yeah. i've actually never left the states, and i've only ever left tennessee to go to kentucky (directly above) and to north carolina (directly east), and even then i've only just barely crossed the state border. i've never been to disney world/land, i'm very interested in photography and digital/visual arts despite kind of not knowing how to do any of that stuff when we get down to it. i consider myself a pretty bubbly person and easy to approach, but if i ever get annoying or pretentious pls tell me bc i dont wanna be that guy. ty uwu;
FAVORITE POKEMON/TYPE/REGION UHHHH. OKAY SO. LONG STORY. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, LIKE AROUND THE TIME HG/SS CAME OUT, I HAD THREE MAJOR FAVORITES: LUXRAY, LUCARIO, AND LUGIA. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY IRONIC HOW THEY ALL STARTED WITH "LU" TOO, IT WAS SERIOUSLY A COINCIDENCE. SINCE THEN MY LIST HAS LENGTHENED AND CHANGED, BUT THEY'RE ALL STILL ON IT, I PROMISE! NOWADAYS I REALLY LOVE GARDEVOIR, DITTO, LUCARIO (AFOREMENTIONED), ZOROARK, AND A PLETHORA OF CANINE POKEMON ALONG WITH LEGENDARIES AND PSEUDO LEGENDARIES. SO FAR MY FAVORITE TYPES ALL IN ALL THOUGH ARE FAIRY AND DRAGON TYPES, ALONG WITH DARK, PSYCHIC, FIRE, AND ELECTRIC. I HAVE A LONG LIST OKAY IM SORRY. AND MY FAVORITE REGIONS, IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, ARE PROBABLY HOENN (MY OG, SAPPHIRE WAS MY FIRST POKEMON GAME EVER), SINNOH (PROBABLY THE FIRST TIME I PUT OVER 100 HOURS INTO A HANDHELD GAME, AND THAT'S NOT EVEN COUNTING PLATINUM), AND KALOS (BC FUCKING FRANCE OKAY I JUST. I HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR FRANCE. AND FLOWERS. AND FREAKING FAIRY TYPES).
WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND A HOLIDAY? tbh a beach somewhere bc i've never freaking been to one or disney world/land bc im sterotypical af. however there's this really cute tourist town in east tennessee that's called gatlinburg and it's filled with like amusement rides and museum thingies and an aquarium in the middle of the smoky mountains and it's rly beautiful and i would really love to spend at least a day or two there this summer vacation if i can.
ONE UNIQUE FACT ABOUT YOU here's a few: when i started going to high school i dyed a portion of my hair blue, which grew to the front half of my hair. i kept it that way for two whole years before i joined my school's marching band (and before you ask what instrument i play, i was in colorguard). sadly i dyed my hair a reddish sort of color to ACCOMMODATE to it, and it was all for naught as my rly dumb and mean band director made the whole colorguard wear fucking wigs because of my hair. that i didn't even have anymore. since the middle of summer before marching season. it was rly dumb tbh and it sucks. i quit band after my first year bc of financial struggles and problems with said band director bc she was a bishhhhh lets be real here.
but uh. i have a fear of medical illnesses and some form of anxiety that i don't really know but yeah. um, mostly about medical things. almost entirely about medical things tbh. also i've been in my school's journalism/yearbook classes stuff since my sophomore year in high school and am currently planning on going to cosmetology school because i have a passion for all things make-up related. hmu if you want graphics bc im always willing to make something new and challenging!
also, i ramble a lot.

BEHIND THE NAME Ecru is like a light beige, the color of unbleached linens. The word sounds very chic to me despite being related to a Mundane household item. I like to think it's kind of like me, boring and reserved on first glance but actually sort of charming.
GENDER AND AGE AND WHERE YOU LIVE I'm a seventeen year-old cis male although I don't like to project the image of overbearing masculinity. I live in the southern united states, and the only things I really like about where I live is the temperature in winter and the biscuits and gravy. I do have a bit of a southern accent, but I like to think it's like a debonair southern accent.
FAVORITE POKEMON/TYPE/REGION I tend to like water, psychic, and fairy-types. some of my favorite Pokémon include starmie, mega gallade, kindgra, and mega altaria. My favorite region would have to be kanto because it's the original and the color motif for the names of the towns is cool.
WHERE WOULD YOU SPEND A HOLIDAY? Traveling to Germany would be a dream come true because ich kann deutsch einbisschen, and it constitutes a lot of my heritage.
ONE UNIQUE FACT ABOUT YOU I basically live off of tuna fish, granola bars, low-fat yogurt, and the occasional hamburger. I'm also the vice president of my high school's drama club.
