Well, 'nother idea I managed to come up with. Still a little upset, but I swear this time there won't be too much angst.
Rain After Dusk
It was commonly believed ever since the transition from the Dark Ages and the Rennaisance that there was an explanation for everything. Fantasy and astrology had become less believed, but it still existed, just only closer to extinction. Many had come to believe that there was a thick line between what was good and what was evil, many choosing their sides in following. Blood had been spilt between both man and Pokemon. And then, as if appearing from almost nowhere, the spirits of the world came together and created a seal between the realm of magic and the realm of reality. Everything grew peaceful once more, and logic somehow reigned.
The seal weakened in the turn into another millenia. The leaders of occult-obsessed teams called Magma and Aqua, Maxie and Archie respectively, raged almost endlessly for years, until their dreams had come true. Both Groudon and Kyogre were ressurected by the power of ruby and sapphire-colored orbs, and the beasts, irate, killed the two in a bloody rage and went on for days creating global chaos in the Pokemon world. That is, until a mysterious being appeared. The seal had broken between reality and fantasy, and once more, magic and humanoid races dominated again. With magic almost seemingly heavenly, the ethereal being cast the two behemoths into eternal sleep under the ocean, where the still remain today.
Feeling that his power was weakened, the being went in search of somebody to carry out his bloodline...in days of search near his death, he found a young woman, and took her in. Later on, the woman died from childbirth, yet her magical child lived on. Generations had passed on until the present day.
It is approximately the year 2500 in the Pokemon world now. Magic is dominant, even to where those that are purely human have mastered it. When it comes to leadership, people now depend on their clan leaders, which were mainly the heads of nomadic tribes. Survival has also changed in a sort. No longer do humans only rely upon Pokemon, but the magic and weapons have also become critical in daily life. However, this peace isn't believed to last too long.
The darkness was also ressurected when the seal of the spirits was broken. One mischeivous soul of evil drifted downward, collecting the old corpses of Maxie and Archie. With a hint of moonlight, the spirit possesed the combined bodies which formed a single humanoid immortal. His handsome looks could've paralyzed any woman. But beyond this shell was a soul of ugliness. With a mind of his own, the tainted man went around under the identity of Malkar.
Leading his dark army onward, Malkar had destroyed many clans, including one falsely claiming to be descended of the young woman and savior of old lore. However, the true descendant is only a wanderer, having almost no idea of her origin or her purpose in life. Sensing the essence of this descendant, Malkar seeks her, wanting to bring her down in order to take over.
Rules:
1. I'll play the descendant, but Malkar is open to anybody who wants him.
2. This is almost like the Dark Ages all over again. So, no real advances in technology nor gun-like weapons.
3. Again, as any generic Pokemon RPG goes...no legendaries.

Name: Iruna Dalliam
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Race: Mostly human, but with a slight bit of Apparition/Spirit mixed into her.
Appearance: Standing approximately 5'6" in height, Iruna's eyes are a cold, dusty dark blue, and her hair is a deep dark brown, almost black, in color. Her skin has a slightly paler than average complexion, but not to where she is deathly pale. Her figure is lithe and slightly athletic, but she still holds some noticeable curves along her, as well. Iruna is usually around wearing a dark blue tunic with black pant-like leggings and undershirt, as well as dusty dark brown boots and a necklace with a medallion of pure silver with triangular patterns.
Personality: Sometimes Iruna came out a bit on the cold and ruthless side, but naturally she isn't a shrew. Once you get to know her, Iruna is loving and kind, but it is sometimes tough depending on how one approaches her. She is trying harder to stand up for herself, but her depression of the past has constantly gotten to her. She isn't as dull and weak as some have told her, yet she still has been told enough times to believe it.
Pokemon: Saria(female Bayleef), Laruto(female Lapras), Fado(male Altaria)
Weapons: A pale-wood longbow with similar arrows, and twin daggers.
Relationships: Only person who seems commited to her is Jenzu.
History: (to be added)
Other: Nobody expects the Sango Inquisition!
