WELCOME TO ATLAEA
Welcome to modern day Atlaea; if you're here, it means you have the powers of a pokemon inside of you. We advise that you apply to the university and start your training in one of four subjects: battling, coordinating, healing, or pokemon history and begin your journey towards becoming the very best like no one ever was!
Ry can be a bit of a handful. While certainly friendly and sociable, he can be a bit overbearing with that ego of his. Don't even get started on his anger issues!
Friends should be relatively easy, or more so acquaintances as he tends to make friends with everyone. Just don't expect him to remember your name the next day. If you wanna be more than a face he vaguely remembers, there's a chance you can be pals with him, should you share interests or at the very least make a good impression. The more you pursue him, the more likely he is to acknowledge you and make this friendship happen! Just be prepared for sass and sarcasm!
Enemies are also quite easy as he lacks that nifty little filter that helps him think before he acts. Not to mention the fact he can be quite an ass purposely just to get on a person's nerves for the stupidest reasons ("I don't like your face!"). He's not completely hopeless, however, fortunately knowing well enough to choose his battles wisely, or at the very least come up with a quick plan to not get himself killed. Easiest way to piss him off is to mess with his sibling. Watch out! He's got a pretty nasty bite.
Last but certainly not least is Romance. Being the flirtatious dog (hyena) he is, this section will probably be the most popular. He'll hit on just about anything that moves and his charm is enough to keep him from falling flat on his face with such stupid means to pick up both men and women alike. While I don't anticipate a final in the near future, there's a pretty good chance you'll at least get a night with him. If you want him for good, however, you are going to need to find a way to catch him. Good luck with that!
Other things might include those who are associated with the underground ring, such as sponsors, fans, or other fighters.It's best to keep in mind that he keeps both his fighting life and his day life both separate so you wont likely interact with him much outside the ring (unless of course you are close or something). Another idea might be old college buddies as he did stick around for at least a year or two before he dropped out so likely there was some sort of friends. Unfortunately, he more than likely would have dropped contact with them immediately but that doesn't mean they can't recognize him and start up an awkward conversation about the old days! As a last resort, he does odd jobs from time to time (like mowing the lawn, helping people move, etc.) so there could be some interaction there. Other than that, feel free to toss whatever you have in mind my way.
relationships:
Hiruka Azalea -- the "it's all fun until someone get's hurt" friend
ryder moore & Hiruka Azalea -- Ryder's blunt honesty would be rewarded by Hiruka no matter how it comes out, because honesty is the best policy when dealing with her. His flirting will probably go right over her head, because she sees romance as a foreign language or something, and basically thinks friends, family and lovers are all the same. She might get mad at him depending on what he does to be reckless, but since she did get forced to take martial arts as a kid, she at least has that in common [no, that's not in her bio, but oh well]. She'll give him all the spicy food people randomly try to make her eat too. Since she hates it xD
I think Ry will definetely enjoy her company. She's cute and very amusing though I'm sure after the first attempt to flirt with her failed, he'd probably give up because it's no fun when there's no real response. Instead he'll probably just end up treating her like a little sister sort of deal which is kinda silly since she'll likely be yelling at him a lot for being stupid and getting himself hurt so it probably needs to be the other way around lol But he'll totally eat all the spicy food she throws his way so it's a win-win!
DAKOTA & RYDER - I don't actually know where to begin with these two, other than they're both dark types, have kinda similar personalities, dropped out of college (at different times, but whatevz), do odd jobs/illegal things and probably have some connection somehow. And, I mean, even if they don't, they totally should. Ryder could always have attempted to flirt with Dakota and Dakota was just like 'wat' because he's innocent like that or something. I don't know. They just need friendship of some sort.
or they could have had a drunken one night stand because i literally haven't decided dakota's sexual preferences but i can see him being somewhat interested sometimes idk. and then they made awkward friendship afterwards idk don't mind me
I had been meaning to plot with you but somehow it had slipped my mind ;; But I do agree, they need some sort of connection, the similarities are just begging for it.
Flirting is defintely a possibility (Ry would be attracted to his very unique look), and so is the drunken one night stand as that is usually how his nights would go *shot* If Ry were ever to have a hard time with money, there's a chance Kody could convince him to help steal shit if that was something he'd do, or even if he wanted quick cash, they could totally rig a fight in the ring. Overall, so bad that it's good??? IDK if anything we could always try a thread with them and see where it goes uwu
ryder moore -- Yeah, Hiruka's oblivious to flirting and the concept of love. She'll probably see him as a friend since he'll take all the spicy stuff she hates, and even though he'd treat her as a sibling, she'd be oblivious to that too [since she just sees anyone trustworthy as the same species it seems like]. But so it sounds win-win to me. Even though Hiruka will get mad a lot, it's out of love...Sort of. Right?
DAKOTA & RYDER - Dakota should teach Ryder how to be a competent pickpocket or something It's funny because Ryder knows the move Thief and Dakota doesn't. I'd honestly really love to see them get into pretty much any kind of shenanigans together, it doesn't even matter.
But if their relationship started as a one-night-stand or some intense flirting or something, it would probably be hilarious. and awkward. i really like awkward ok.
It's obviously because Kody is so good that he doesn't even need thief to steal shit lol Any and all shenanigans. I'm sure we could make it happen. Besides, Ry can't say no to a challenge so it would be almost too easy to rop him into trouble.
Probably mostly awkward for poor Dakota (though maybe awkward if he is still oblivious even if they did have a one night stand XD) I have a feeling Ry is pretty used to the whole one night stand thing so he probably got past the awkwardness and would most likely continue flirting with him if it went well enough, poor Kody =w=
We gotta make a thread happen tho. The rp gods demand it!

ryder moore + CANDICE ASHLEY Two, not-so-nice dark-types, who generally fight. Interaction requested!!
So I don't know how long has Ryder been fighting underground, but Candice probably knows him as a result of some fight of the sort, details may or may not matter. She likes fighting too and can be easily provoked, and deliberate-tactless here might just trigger a fight for no good reason if he tries. Or perhaps that already happened already. Either way, Candice used to be an underground fighter too, so yes. I doubt they'll remember each other's names though, what with the amount of foes Ryder probably passes by night, and the time off Candy had to take.
I don't know in which group to put them besides 'acquaintances' at the moment. And on her end, probably not the good kind.
They might have met fighting? I didn't exactly make his arrival to the scene concrete, but he did attend college for at least a year before he joined the business. Still, even if they didn't meet in the official ring, that doesn't mean they couldn't have fought once or twice elsewhere if that's something you want to do (or have done).
He doesn't hold grudges much and can't seem to remember faces too well so even if they have fought in the past, he likely has no recollection of it (unless it was just that personal). Acquaintances will work, even though the connection will most likely be blurry on his end. I like the idea of them becoming frenemies at one point though, probably friends on his part, enemies on hers lol He's an ass and I have no doubt he's capable of triggering her into a fight nearly every time they run into each other. She's pretty cute though and that would probably make matters worse as he'll likely try to flirt with her, even if she was trying to beat him to a pulp at the time.
I really have no idea where I'm going with this ;; BUT I DO WANT THEM TO INTERACT so we should at least toss them into a thread and see how it goes.

ryder moore + CANDICE ASHLEY You know, 'Frenemies' is a veeeery difficult term here... XD If this actually happens and no advances whatsoever in their relationship is made (to worse, probably), Ryder is going to remain that one existence Candy would wish just outright disappeared. And she'll probably express it, if he actually gets into flirting with her lol. I think that fights would break much more often if he outright forgets her name and face after their interaction too, which I'm going to guess, is likely? XD
So yes. Candice is going to view Ryder as a complete enemy to stay away from if she can help it; and if not, force the distance. Heck, I don't even know if those two can even talk. I think a thread might be in order; question is, do we want them to fight 'back in the day', or at this moment? Both can happen really~
Intentionally or not, yes, he'll likely forget her. If they interacted often, maybe less likely, but if fought once and didn't see each other for like a month, he'll be happy to 'meet' her again.
As a past thread or just for histories sake? I'm fine with either, really. It really just depends on how you want them to act at least in their first thread. If they have history, I doubt she'd like him too much from the get go whereas he has no clue why that is but thinks she's hot when she's angry. If it's their first fight, he'll still be quite annoying I'm sure but they wouldn't be trying to kill each other right away XD
Alright. Now that that's settled, I have an odd suggestion. We could try making a past interaction and a present interaction simultaneously; like, make a thread, while each of our posts divides into two parts. Like, this is where the past interaction happens, and... ...This is the present. But it'll probably get complicated. And if not the two-part thread thing, I'm just gonna go ahead and say, on behalf of the Coin Sage, that we do a present thread. This would be their first interaction - and if not, then their first in a long while. Enough to not bother either of them with the other's existence (yet).
