#interjection: AOL Internet Messenger

[Seas]

Thanks Graz. I don't think I have AIM then, sorry.

And also, I didn't say anything because I couldn't think of anything else, but would you consider making girlfriend (we really need names for these characters) an Audino pokemorph? I don't mean that I really want her to be that or anything, but it's another option that's similar to Chansey and gives her ears (which are adorable). Of course, if you're set on Chansey, that's fine, I like the pinky helpfulness of it, but if you aren't....

It's just a suggestion. I don't want to influence you unless you want to be influenced.

[ZOM]

aw, it's a shame you don't have aim... that's the only messenger i use, asides from skype. :c (which would also work if you've got that!) but that's fine, this thread is serving its purpose quite well~

i definitely like that idea for the dramatic event! it sounds perfect :D

haha you know, i actually did consider audino instead of chansey! audino is the cutest thing, especially with DEM EARS and the little bunny tail... but the thing is i've been meaning for ages to make an audino morph character. >A> not that this has happened for like, the year i've had him in the works.

however....... i totally could make him later at some point if i feel the urge, maybe make him shiny or something, and have him be the girlfriend's brother. YES BRILLIANT. 8D audino it is!!

ps: you should totally take a psych course if you ever get the chance <3 it is so fascinating!!

[Seas]

AIM --> I would like to have that or skype but I'm afraid it'd kill my computer, which is old. Also, I don't know how to set it up.

Alright, dramatic event all set up.

Audino --> Yay, bunny character. I love those things and I very much want a shiny one. Unfortunately, while I've gotten four shiny Pok?mon, none have been an Audino. I kinda want to say make the girlfriend a shiny Audino (it'd work with the guy's creepy crush) just because I think it'd be far too amusing to have this boy with cutesy pink ears.

And I would love to take a psych course, but we don't have one at school and it'll be a year (hopefully) before I go to university.

So, we've worked out everything but names and when we're making them, right?

[ZOM]

well, i think your computer would most likely be able to handle aim at the very least. it's a pretty unobtrusive, simple program! and if you need help setting it up then you can ask me. C: here is where you can download it, and it SHOULD be as easy as just opening up the installation wizard and letting it do its thang, unless you have a mac or some other OS. but if there are complications then i can probably figure em out for you. and then it's really just a matter of making your username and adding folks to your friends list, as well as playing around with the settings to make them suit your fancy haha!

anyhoo, i do like the idea of making her the shiny one. :o (and yes hehe, the audino dude is very pink by design, it's kind of precious.) i'll have to do some sketching when i get the chance, try to figure out a design for her! she will be very... sparkly.

no psych course??? D: oh that's just depressing...... but yes, definitely in university you should check it out!! as a psych major i am terribly biased, but either way, psych is a great field and the classes are cool~

yep, seems like! and i guess also the setting they would have lived in before solastella. it's a city, i'm assuming? should this city be in a canon region, or a new, made-up one? and either way, what should the city be called?

[Seas]

AIM --> I'd do that, but I've been told not to download anything. My uncle's getting sick of fixing our computer. Maybe once I have my own (should be this Christmas).

Audino morph --> Sparkly? Sounds interesting. I looked at the designs for Audino on DA and some of them were cool. Not that you should steal them, but it wouldn't hurt to take a look.

Psych --> I imagine it is. I'd go into it if I could get a job; it'd be wonderful for character designing. But as it is I'll just try to take some courses.

Setting --> Yeah, a city, of course. I'm thinking a new made up region so that we have an excuse for why they haven't gotten in contact with Pok?mon before (the place was so industrialized there weren't many Pok?mon around and so trainers, etc. were scarce). We could call the region Iiuren and the city could be called Leyj. Unless you were looking for names that meant something anyway - those are just random.

[ZOM]

oh jeez haha, then yeah it'd be best to leave it be for now >A> just lemme know if/when you're able to get it, then drop me a line!

yep, sparkly! she'd be a shiny audino morph, right? and shiny Pok?mon glitter upon showing up in a battle, so i've never gotten why people rarely remember that haha. she'd probably kinda have a glimmer to her like she'd put some glitter on her skin, ears, hair... everywhere, pretty much. TWILIGHT STRIKES BACK... Pok?mon STYLE. but ooh, i'll have to take a look! i usually veer away from the gjinka look and into a more were-Pok?mon type of appearance, which usually means i can't take much from the dA designs i see, but i'll check it out. :0

nope nope, the names for the city/region sound good to me -- although it might be kind of neat to play with their nationality, make the region based on a RL country so that they can speak another language and really feel foreign to solastella, y'know? it'd add an extra jarring effect to the fact that girlfriend ran off all this way and is stuck so out of her element, and out of VL's. that would require... EGADS... research, but it would be pretty fun i think. alternatively we can just not worry about it, that works too haha! i don't much mind either way, up to you. :] (i think i just like world building way too much)

[Seas]

Don't worry; you'll know. The entire world will know.

Shiny ---> You know, I never noticed that. I think most people ignore it because they don't want their characters to have that but it makes sense. It makes so much sense. Looking forward to that. And don't talk about Twilight.

Foreign --> This sounds like fun, though I'd imagine VL would pick up the language pretty quickly since she's all brilliant and such. But yeah, I'd love to use another language - then we could name our Pokémon in that and ruin it completely! It'd be fun. If it'll require any sort of research though, I request choosing French or German or Latin or some relatively unknown European language that no one's heard of before. I request European languages because I don't want to figure out how to translate Asian characters into our letters.

Names I'm thinking about using/adapting for VL and their meanings according to the internet: Leila (dark beauty), Iolani (royal hawk), Alala (the lost one), Otylia (lucky heroine), Lindiwe (I have watched/waited), Azia/Eara (from the east), Nishi (west), Adia (gift), Shae (a gift), Heba (gifted), Lluvia (rain).

I was thinking of giving her a first name and middle name that were cool and then make her last name a mix of words that somehow means 'lost' and 'dark' or maybe 'gift'. And rain would be because she was found in the rain. I don't know - do you like any of them?

Once we decide what language we're using I might just look through all of the girl names in that language and see what I can do with them.

#interjection " Nishi (west)” OH U.
/leaves

[ZOM]

latin would be very interesting, although i don't know even basic latin so i'd have to rely on translators, and that'd be... pretty catastrophic i think haha. however, i do know some french! and i am always game for making more french characters. i love french. so if you're up for basing the region on france, then that would be magnifique~! alternatively, maybe norwegian or swedish or something like that haha, although i figure it'd be another one of those translator-heavy things.

really, our possibilities are limited by the capabilities of google translate.

as for the names, i really love most of those *A* especially leila, shae, otylia, and heba. (and nishi lol)

#interjection

This must be the third one or something.

BUT UH, I speak and mentor in latin. Just saying, if you need help, I can help out. I even have like a shelf in my room devoted to latin poetry, vocabulary and grammar.

[ZOM]

:o ooooooh. well, i love the look and sound of latin and would certainly like to learn a little, and roleplay would be a pretty fun way to start off doing that... so, seas, if you're game for it, my vote is for making their native language of their region latin (under a different name, of course)!

[Seas]

Graz the first time: I didn't even motice that until you pointed it out, that's how dense I am. Of course, I think of you as Graz more than anything else.

Zom the first time: I can work with that, though nothing's set in stone and I'll have another list for you soon.

Graz the second time: I am so very jealous. Need to find some language to be all cool and know about.

Zom the second time: Latin it is. I'll go right off to find latin names (ha, both my characters will have latin names now) and I suggest we call the language Nital as a tribute to Latin.

Latin Names I've Collected And Their Meanings:
Aleda/Alida (small and winged)
Felice (fortunate/happy)
Janus (god of beginnings)
Kyrie (little lord)
Laraine (sorrowful)
Nydia (a safe place/nest)
Perrin (traveler)
Questa (seeking)
Tacita (silent)
Vivi (alive)
Vivienne (life)

Since they're latin, there should be some alternate forms of these names as well.

[➤ GRAZ !]

I like Nital lol.

[Seas]

....Apparently Nital actually means something too, that meaning being 'Transparent, crystal clear, one can see the base.' It's a portrait of inner beauty, at least it is if Google isn't lying to me.
