Introduction
History of things that have changed.
The world is modern day Earth. Pokemon have lived among us since the beginning of our knowledge. Not effecting us from the fact they have never been exactly tamable. Until the turn of the 20th century history has not been changed other then legends of myth and lore. For it wasn't until World War II when the true marks of pokemon were made on our world. During the war a Nazi scientist unlocked the power to kill a pokemon and take it's power. This changed the war dramatically and caused it to last another three years with Germany only accepting a cease to the war on August 1st 1958.
After the war, Germany was still standing under a new regime that had declared peace with the allied nations and stands as a super power today. With the war over the slaughter of Pokemon dwindled down to a screeching halt in anything other then test labs. The killing of a pokemon to gain it's powers was considered a cultural taboo till the mid 90's and only then used by the military.
With the change of the end of World War II, the fifties were an age of rebuilding over most of the world. Japan had not surrendered after Hiroshima, taking the fight back to America in a surprise attack and only surrendering after the next US bombing of Japan in 1944. The world seemed to come back to it's natural order despite all the destruction. For it wasn't until the late 90's when the device to capture and hold a pokemon was invented by Professor Selkin of Oxford University. The device was later on improved on and labelled the pokeball. The invention revolutionized the world, making the pokemon finally controllable. First adopted by the military's of the world that the technology was given to. And then down the road in 2007 the pokeball was commercialized as most of the world had become a bit more stable.
With 2008 came the rise of the Branded, as people started to remember and unlock the potentials of the secrets uncovered in WW II. Pokemon murder sky rocketed and also came the rise in crime. Despite it being a cultural taboo many saw the potential of having the powers of pokemon. August 1st 2008 was the first unveiling of the Military Sanction Branded force of the nations under the UN. The force was composed of soldiers, trainers, and branded who would deal with extreme threats and the rise of pokemon and Branded crimes.
2010 August 1st.
The world is at peace for now. China, Germany, Russia, and the United States still have many tensions being the four largest super powers in the world. Branded crimes have declined greatly since the employment of Branded and trainers in the military and police around the world. Still a cultural taboo most Branded are seen on a lower plain then others. But the future is looking bright as the world advances forward, forgetting yesterdays mistakes with tomorrow's promises.
Branded: The title given to those who have killed a pokemon in order to gain it's power.
To gain a pokemon's power and become Branded, you must intentionally kill a pokemon. Self defense and loose killings do not take part in this.
Sacrifice, Mercy Killing, Intentional Murder to get said powers and other ways count.
Upon the first Branding a person tends to gain a set of animal ears and tail. (Nekojin, Wolfe Demons etc for look.) This texture and color will vary depending on Pokemon. This again is the most normal occurrence but near anything can happen. (This is mainly to give players free reign over what their character looks like.)
With consecutive Branding a person will further mutate, eventually becoming completely feral. There are some in the world who have been able to go beyond the normal limit of Branding and even further. Approach these individuals with extreme caution.
Note to keep in mind: Being branded is shunned highly by almost all of society. It is not classified as murder but falls under the laws of pokemon. Which are generally the same as animals but altered for their unique aspects.
Trainers/Pokemon: People who use Pokemon and the Pokemon that inhabit the earth.
Just a small note I will not be having any Pokemon characters only. If you wish to tack on a Pokemon's bio to your Trainers bio that is completely fine. You will be playing your Pokemon also after all.
Trainers! You can be free and wild and on your own adventure but remember this is real world Earth. Your adventure can take you wherever but just remember your chary MAY have responsibilities and the like. (But for the sake of RP most trainers will likely be just adventuring/travelling the world.)
Or you can be apart of the Military or Police. A few things to note is that you will be in the military and will be subjected to wear uniforms etc etc etc. (Also you can be in parts of the military that aren't soldier etc.)
Other: PM/talk to me privately if interested.
Pokemon!
This is very open, a few lores of the pokemon have been bended but other then that nothings changed. You can have almost any Pokemon but give reason as to why you have them. And no you can't have every Pokemon in the world.
Legendaries: You need to be approved to have one. Otherwise all Legendaries wander the world/respective places.

Feel free to ask me any questions about it or if you have any concerns.
This RP is open world but there are plots that will be going on crafted by myself. Players are free to create their own plots but It is asked that you speak to a GM and talk about it. This way we don't have things that contradict.
As far as the places go. I'm adding the major nations/countries I think we'll be rping in and their captiols and a few other major cities. If we end up rping in one place I'll make a place for it. Otherwise only by request will a location be made.
If you see anything that is out of wack or you just can't understand it in the RP. Please feel free to tell/ask me. I will do my best to fix/change/describe whatever it is.
Other then that feel free to use this board as you wish.
