Weather Conditions

Season: Summer

The soft warmth of the Region's springtime has been replaced by the heat of summer, where even Istin has warmed up to just below freezing. Up in the Pass, the underbrush is thriving and the few deciduous trees mixed among the pines have spread their leaves. Berry trees hang full across the region and fire type pokemon are loving the return of the heat. Water types are also enjoying the change in the weather, though they are more careful to stay in the shade. Dark types have retreated to the cooler northern areas or have returned to being almost exclusively nocturnal. In addition to the seasonal changes in pokemon populations, electric pokemon are swarming. Thankfully, the plague seems to have been all but stamped out, so battles and plots with these pokemon will be ending soon.

Redirect Welcome to Harper!

Welcome to the Harper Region, where we take pokémon back to a simpler time, before cars and trains and computers. In fact, we take it all the way back into the middle ages, in a region founded by an exiled bard whose name has become legend.

That's right, Harper is a medieval era pokémon site, where the Guardians of the region are in constant conflict with the rogues and the Order of the Masque, who would see the region's governing systems and classes overthrown. Both civilians and the rest of the region's pokémon handlers lay in between the two opposite sides of the law, making their own way by breeding, acting as vigilantes or generally people for hire, or trying out something entirely new.

Harper is not stat/numbers based, making for realistic battles and allowing members to choose their own characters' paths. Both pokémon battles and physical, hand-to-hand combat battles may occur in character, and players begin with a weapon and some armour.

The style of play here is different than your typical play-by-post forum, more similar to tabletop RPGs, in that you play your character with/against a staff member, who acts as the "dungeonmaster" or "gamemaster," controlling the world and the non player characters in order to keep the system fair.

Join us, and plunge into the rich and diverse world of pokémon, taken back in time.

No New Posts Update/Character Requests and Plots
With the addition of multi-character travels, it was decided that moving some things to their own forum would greatly benefit both this section and the Public Services. Here, you can post if you would like someone to multi-thread with you, or if you want an NPC turned into a temporary PC and played in your travels along with the mod. You may also use this area to plan things with your multi-travels if you wish. The update request thread has been moved here.
