[platinum]

all these characters i want? doesn't matter if they're existing or entirely new ones. if you have anything to add or improve or have something to say about it, comment here or get me on skype? eta: lux or nox doesn't matter. lol

on-off boyfriend yeah, platinum has one. it's a secret from her agency, though. how their relationship is isn't set in stone yet, but she generally ends up comparing him to pearl and diamond. she doesn't say anything about what she thinks though. (also she probably tries to be happy and chirpy most of the time, only to fail.)

manager every idol ... has a manager. platinum's no exception. can be either male or female, and platinum sort of looks up to them as a replacement parent from when she's away from home? quite possibly a retired thespian, since platinum's very much interested in becoming an actress once she outgrows idol age.

kurogane? this is probably an entirely new character. lol, since platinum's stage name is shirogane. can be male or female, once again. they're a part of the same agency, and probably shares the same manager since they made their debut at the same time. they're portrayed in the media as rivals (even though it's likely that they perform together), but off-stage, they're pretty close friends. platinum doesn't trust them as much as she would pearl and diamond, though. what the other person thinks is up to you.

lol this was long. anyway, yeah. that's it.

could Crimsen fit for on-off boyfriend?

Does it make it any different that Crimsen is Kanto NOX? Their choice of sides in the war sparking their "on-off" status? He moves around a lot and could have many reasons for breaking up with and getting back with Platinum.

[platinum]

i don't think it makes a difference, lux or nox. platinum could very well have been nox had they been the ones to give her her idol status; she's still immature in thinking, and clings to ideals that could be compared to fairytales. she'd be torn between following crimsen and his nox beliefs (not to mention be able to hold her own) and her own career. she isn't quite ready to give up stardom.

i guess they'd only be together if he drops by in sinnoh, then break up when he leaves? ... i don't think they'd be able to maintain an ldr << crimsen doesn't strike me as the type to stay put in one place, at any rate. (lol @ him liking females like saph and leaf btw)

You forgot to warn them of the love triangle, red.

Actually, I DIDN'T know there was going to be a love triangle. But fortunately, I don't think Pearl would act as the jealous "friend." More like...angry friend. He's very overprotective so trust would be very important for this on-and-off boyfriend. He has no intentions of letting Platinum go though. He plans on winning the war, not just the battle!

As a disclaimer, I'm not a shipper. Doing this for the plot!

[1000]

I don't think Crimsen would mind keeping her secret unhappiness to himself. If she "tries to be happy and chirpy most of the time, only to fail" he would be more likely to comfort her so that she has a means to express her sadness in private so that she can still put on that facade when she's doing her Idol stuff because he recognizes what it means to her to hold onto that success.

He wouldn't mind vying against Barry (see that, Crimsen will mockingly call him Barry) for Platinum's love. But, he certainly wouldn't be the aggressor. His biggest flaws in being Plat's boyfriend would that and he has a long list of ex-girlfriends and though he's not a cheater, he's is an insatiable flirt and, probably be that he's not around as much as he'd like to be given that Plat's a busy Idol and Crimsen is ALMOST as busy doing secret Kanto Nox stuff. Also, he's a bit of a rolling stone ever since Cinnabar vomited lava all over itself.

Also the stuff with Leaf and Sapphire was touched upon IC-ly on PRE, so it's not just profile filler anymore. Was threading with sapphire, a meet-and-greet thread that is on hiatus atm. Also the stuff with Leaf, Crimsen was Leaf's boyfriend for a few months right before the war. He even gave her a shiny bulbasaur IC when her original starter died in the Cinnabar battle. Sadly that Leaf left the site and I haven't spoken to the new leaf about upholding that history so I guess the Leaf stuff has been retconned or least swept under the rug for now.

tl;dr - Crimsen ain't afraid to compete with Barry but he'd rather not. He's a trust-worthy boyfriend who never cheats but flirting with other girls is part of his DNA. He still has a "thing" for Sapphire Birch though (Plat prob wouldn't know that). Among his exes are Daisy Oak (Blue approved for plot) and Leaf (these plat would know of). He's also likely to become one of the next Kanto Nox Leaders which could raise the stakes in his secret relationship with Platinum.

UPDATE: After reading up on the "Idol" trainer class, I'm going to have to add in that Crimsen will at every opportunity, encourage Plat to leave the Idol thing behind and pursue her desired career as a Actress. Because he secretly thinks the Idol thing is stupid and beneath Plat's talents (not to mention how unhappy its making her.)

[binky]

rofl Barry Pearl and Crimsen are more alike than they think, then. He pretends he doesn't like Platinum. He constantly sees other girls, which isn't really cheating because he isn't in any relationship with Plat, just that they're friends. Diamond is the only one who knows and Pearl just pretends he isn't romantically interested. And yet Pearl would act upset at Crimsen dating other girls.

I think that while Pearl and Crimsen might see eye-to-eye at some point, if he finds out he's Nox or a Nox leader, that's enough reason for Pearl to keep him away from Platinum. It's not just because Crimsen is Nox but because it would look like he's using Platinum to get an edge over Sinnoh and fighting for Sinnoh has been something Pearl has been going strong about.

I doubt Pearl would be the aggressor too but he'll find Crimsen's actions aggravating enough.

[platinum]

like i said before, even if crimsen rises to the rank of a nox leader, it's unlikely to change platinum's opinion of him. she'd be happy that crimsen approves of her being an actress though.

as for pearl, he'll still be barry to her and probably wouldn't see where the problem is. she's never fought openly for sinnoh in the war, but more than likely she'll end up talking about it with pearl and diamond. she ... doesn't tell crimsen a lot of things.

[magenta]

If Plat's Crimsen's on-again-off-again girlfriend, then maybe she knows Magenta? I'm not quite sure what Maggie would think but I'm thinking she wouldn't be too thrilled, though she'd keep her mouth shut since she's Sen's friend.

Magenta's also a performer she dances with her Pokemon and maybe she'd know Plat from there. I LIKE HOW THIS HAS BECOME A GENERAL PLOTTING THREAD.

[platinum]

maybe. idk. she'd probably have known her as a performer before crimsen's friend if magenta's performed on stage. platinum probably wouldn't care much for backgrounds and the like unless it hits her in the face forcibly.

... lol is magenta a background dancer

[magenta]

she's not really, though most of the focus in her shows is on her Pokemon. She generally keeps to performing in Kanto and has some moderate amount of fame there, but it wouldn't really compare to Platinum and Maggie would probably be a little envious of Plat. Add Crimsen into the picture and she doesn't quite know what to feel, since Sen is like her brother and she's a liiiittle apprehensive.

[platinum]

we'll see how it goes between them. platinum's likely to be cautious of magenta as she doesn't know her well and well. tbh platinum wouldn't want to put crimsen in the picture and some other illogical reason that only girls use. they're on-off for a reason and the reason isn't entirely crimsen alone.

I am curious of what kind of illogical reasoning unique to females you're thinking of.

And how much percentage is from ~personal experience~
