[rs=2] » FRIENDS Lyra has no friends. She doesn't mind. She likes just doing what she's supposed to do, coming and going, and moving on. She definitely could get along with most people. She's very agreeable and even fun to be with, but she doesn't hang out. She doesn't really go out with anyone. She doesn't seek companionship. It's not that she doesn't like people; she doesn't have any depression either. It's just that she's busy and...maybe she's withdrawn. But she's not sad. She can't be. » ENEMIES Nox. Criminals. Offenders. She has no problem with the laws. It's not like there's anything that can be done about it. It's not like it will kill her either. What's wrong with not having a Pokemon League? Well, a lot, but they didn't have to start a war about it. Lyra's too kind to turn away from those in need. She shelters suspicious people authorities are looking for. She's a sympathizer even though she doesn't like (not hate, not despise; she's too kind for those. She wants to be angry. They destroyed Goldenrod after all, but it just doesn't stick to her heart). She doesn't like some things she does or experience but it happens anyway. » LOVERS She loved Gold. She think she does, anyway. When she had been a child with him, she wasn't sure. It probably didn't even cross her mind but when she looks back, she wonders now. It doesn't really change anything but Lyra looks back a lot. The haze in her eyes is sometimes like a television, rewinding to a time a long time ago.

Hello there.
you get creepy proton and thus not creepy N

Anyway, Proton hates Gold and is essentially running the last standing Nox town in Johto (its admin is one of his Grunts so he has a fair amount of authority in Cianwood). Though he's currently laid up, I figure once he figures out a possible connection between Lyra and Gold, or if he already knows one, he'll try to hurt her to hurt Gold and we can make a big creepy plot out of it. If you don't want Lyra getting hurt or kidnapped, he can fail and then get annoyed or something and she can steamroll and him and he'll be like "...GDI NEW PLAN."

If you want a slightly less creepy character, I have N who is a sweetheart and just wants peace. He's Johto's newest Champ and will be working on rebuilding Goldenrod. So maybe he can talk to her a bit about Lux and what-not c:.

[gold]

omg omg omg you're the BEST PERSON EVER I LOVE YOU. ;;;;A;;;;;

I-I don't even know what to write but I WANTED THE FIRST POST (proton lou ahhhhhhhhhhh ;A;). I love the way you word that romance section but can we pleaaase thread sometime? Judging from lyra's app it'll be pretty angsty but I would like gold to meet her again after so long. maybe some emotional kissing

oh oh oh I also totally support Lou's plot idea because i've been lacking muse inspiration and there's just so much potential in that so if you agree with it, i'm totally in. o/

yes/no/maybe?

[fated]

PROTON

Do you think Proton and Lyra have encountered each other before? If so, he must have met the tomboyish, rowdy Lyra who is maybe a bit too hyperactive and energetic for her own good. Back then she must have called Proton all sorts of silly names like the "guy who is as sick as his fashion taste" or "really need to go back to school and grow up." Today, in their encounter, I imagined it would be very mellowed down. Lyra doesn't really care anymore. The past doesn't really affect them in any way. I don't think she would forget Proton, but I doubt she would try anything. I don't think she'll be scared. She would normally be afraid but back when she knew Proton, she didn't know fear. So in their first meeting, Lyra would treat him rather friendlily, give him tea like any good host would. But should Proton do something that would make her realize otherwise...

GOLD

Gold can be her knight in shining armor but I'm not sure if there will be kissing. There is no lingering affection for Gold in a romantic aspect, just that Lyra looks back and she thinks, "Ahh, I must have been in love with Gold at that time." It might reawaken, it might not; it might not even be true in the first place. Lyra is reminiscent like that. As for her encounter with Gold, it would be much more bitter. She never would have imagined it and probably would have preferred to avoid it. She has nothing against Gold or anything, but as he is actively part of Nox, the one behind Goldenrod's destruction and pretty much the war (in his eyes), she wouldn't be happy to see him. So yes, she'll be more okay reuniting with Proton than Gold. She'd prefer if Gold leaves or she might just have to cry in front of him.

Lyra's going to be pretty calm about everything. She has a good control of her emotions but she doesn't like telling much. She'll be as polite as she can and give him sufficient answers. Anything to make him leave.

N

Johto Champion? Maybe N could drop by their daycare? Or something. Though isn't N from Unova? Anyway, I happened to have made an open thread. You (or anyone?) can join in if you think it's fitting.

[proton]

Proton & Lyra
Ooooh he could definitely know her. But I figure he forgets people easily and i already sort of posted in that open thread b/c SUDDEN PROTON INSPIRATION JUST FROM READING IT IDK WHERE IT CAME FROM so he wouldn't really remember her as anything more than a bother and it'd take a while for him to register that "hey, hey, this is the girl with the stupid hat." And if she's kind to him now, it'll be a conflict of interest b/c he wouldn't actually want to hurt her, but he'd also want revenge on Gold, so it'd make an interesting plot point. I'm down for them having known each other, ahaha, and the thread can be a reunion c:.

N and Lyra
Sure, I can have him stop by sometime. And N is from Unova, yeah, but his first thread he ended up getting taken in by Thalia, who was Johto Champion at the time so he's stepped up into her place after her coma because he and the Kanto Champion have an agreement. So uh, yeah, that's why he's Johto Champ.

[gold]

Hey goldenrod was totally not gold's fault. He's just as shaken up about that as Lyra is/will def waste no time clearing that up if she brings it up. Kidding about the kissing, hehe, unless you were willing to but bitter reunions def give more muse boosters than anything else at this point, so that part is wonderful. *^* If the proton kidnapping thing works out then he'll try to save her (this knight in shining armor creates a nice image in my mind ;n;).

I dunno about joining in on your open thread since speedy lou got to it before me, but if you're not comfortable making another thread i might jump in at some point (providing you/lou don't mind, ofc) because I do want to thread with you sometime, if I could (i've missed lyra on PRE omg).

GOLD

I thought about it since it does seem strange that Lyra would be more...willing to give Proton the benefit of the doubt, but I guess their past friendship together made it more difficult to accept. I don't know how long the Goldenrod had been or what the previous Lyra had done but I assumed even years ago, Lyra has "cut off" with Gold and anyone else. Maybe when her mom started insisting her to become a kimono girl, her life became busier and she was on a road different than others. At this point, she isn't really thinking she's in Gold or anyone's top priority list to visit or explain things. With everything happening and her being just an ordinary girl for the past couple of years, she's pretty detached to the details of what's going on. She's insignificant compared to everything else.

Which do you think would work better? Right now Proton and Lyra are just interacting normally and as Proton's RPer mentioned, Proton might be having second thoughts. We could wait a little to see how it goes and see if we'll put it all in one thread, make a sequel, or start something new.

N

Is he new? If he is, she...well, won't have an opinion. She probably doesn't know N since he's from Unova but I guess with positions changing, it would feel crazy for her. I mean, generally unsafe since stuffs are going, she doesn't really know the details, it's a constant reminder war's a fickle thing. They do like Pokemon so that's always a plus. Since N visits Goldenrod to rebuild it, it's likely he knows of the Daycare.

[gold]

The previous lyra and gold had a pretty close relationship, tbh. Even though they're distant relatives he did kind of view her in an 'older brother' sort of sense, and I would honestly feel that even now, regardless of how lyra feels towards him he'd still always worry about her/protect her when trouble comes up/be happy to see her again regardless of her feelings towards him. So if Lou did have thoughts about Proton kidnapping Lyra then I would definitely want a thread between the three of them (and i feel like it would be a really really great thread too *^*).

Waiting for now to see how Proton/Lyra thread goes sounds fine with me for the time being, since I'm kind of busy atm too. As for one on one thread, the closest thing I can think of is gold visiting her at the daycare one day (because he does miss her, tbch) and then its totally blank after that. What about your thoughts? I don't really want to force anything, its up to you but these are just a few of my thoughts/ideas. c:

[fated]

GOLD

I guess they might have met for some time over the years. I think it wasn't accurate of me to say she cut off with everyone. She...made no attempt to reach them. If Gold called her and all, she'll go along and spend the day with him or whatever. She'll talk like how they always do. I guess with Gold her "young Lyra" would come out more often. She'll be more tomboyish around him like how it used to be. But at the end of the day, when Gold's no longer looking, she'll back to how she usually is and won't even bother to call Gold back. She probably told him that she's been busy, which she would think was a good excuse why she wouldn't be calling and keep Gold from pestering her, if ever.

Well, she won't think of it as pestering. Just...want more alone time and dealing with her problems at home. She probably told Gold of things like her mother wanting her to be a kimono girl, the stuffs she's doing with violin,but it wouldn't sound serious. It would sound casual and like it's actually going well. She won't tell much but what she does won't sound alarming.

Lyra might feel that way to Gold. It's possible, but definitely not after the events of Goldenrod...and if she knows he's from Nox. She mostly blame Nox for the war. She's sick of it and with what's happening now and the power that Gold actually plays, she just wants him to stop. She wants everyone to just stop.

[crystal]

Crystal

Here's Crystal. I don't know if you even wanted these two to meet but I thought it was worth a try. Crystal is in a big turmoil right now because she doesn't know if its worth fighting at the moment. She wants to fight for the people in Nox and give them free will but in Johto she just doesn't know if its worth it anymore. Thats kinda how she is at the moment. She doesn't really know what to do with her life. But if you'd like Lyra and her could meet ujp and all that. Just a suggestion haha.

Miyoko
I think Miyoko and Lyra would see the most of each other out of all of my characters. Miyoko is a young Kimono Girl in training. She's currently the technical head of Ecruteak at the moment until I track down Electric and see what she has in mind. For the meantime though, thats Miyoko. She's an orphan at the moment who's just trying to get by.

It's very nice to meet you I hope we can get to thread!

[fated]

CRYSTAL

I was actually wondering what kind of connection Lyra and Crystal might have...I consider Lyra to be the "official" female counterpart of Gold so I'm not sure how Crystal is supposed to fit in except for that Pokemon Crystal game. There was no mention of Lyra either in your biography...and neither was there in Lyra's. So which female lead was it who helped Gold and Silver? I just followed whatever was written in the canon followed.

I was actually considering that Crystal may be Lyra's "rival." I've put Crystal under Lyra's enemies because...I'm not really yet, but initially I was considering out of jealousy. Generally she doesn't agree with Crystal, probably? Again, not really sure what dynamics the four Johto kids might have had in the game because...they never really were in one place at the same time.

Right now I can say Lyra doesn't agree with Crystal, especially if all she wanted were Pokemon rights then waging a war is contradictory. Lyra isn't blind to what Lux has done but in her eyes calling a war for it was the worst thing any good person would do. She's afraid of death and she's seen a lot of Pokemon die too much already. She rarely goes back to her home in New Bark Town and now Goldenrod's wrecked. She likes Pokemon as much as Crystal so Lyra believes she shouldn't encourage this war further. Pokemon are the one suffering. The people of Nox are only fighting for the interest of people but they involved Pokemon.

MIYOKO

Lyra is actually still in-training too but I'm not sure if they are of the same age. She's probably more inexperienced than Miyoko and maybe not even as killed. Lyra's just good with string instruments. She's a bit graceful and eloquent but she needs a lot more to be done. They're colleagues by default and so I think they're pretty much friends?

Who's Electric?

[silver1]

SILVER

well hey thurr. so at the moment, Silver dislikes both sides pretty intently, but openly opposes Lux and still supports it's overthrowing. Thus, he's pretty supportive of the war as a whole, and at least accepts it as a necessary evil. He'd probably laugh at Lyra's stance on the war (except not literally, cuz he's Silver), seeing it as unrealistic and naive. So uh, yeah, I'm not exactly the shit at plotting, so I'll just leave this here for now. |D

[fated]

[/b][/ul]
I'm actually reconsidering Lyra's stance about Silver...initially, I thought they'd be friends but I think a young Lyra wouldn't have found Silver agreeable when they were kids. She would have been loud and accusing Silver all sorts of things. She was probably worse than Gold. I think she might have hold a grudge, or might not, but I don't think she would have been -friends- with him. But I do think she might have at least accepted him and thought despite his attitude, he's a good guy.

I think it would be interesting if the two actually met because of their clash of ideals. To Lyra, Silver never grew up. He's still the same arrogant loner who thinks he's lived the wost kind of life and cannot tolerate other factors in reality. To Lyra, it's the kind of life Silver has is the most sheltered, one that has no one to care or dedicate himself to. An ordinary person like her could lose one small, fragile thing in her life and it will change everything while Silver would just shrug and move on.

I wouldn't say Lyra's stand is unrealistic and naive. It comes off like that because her desire for it are all from personal wishes, but in general they're simply pacifistic in nature. All wars have their gains but they are never any less foolish each time. Lyra thinks losing the Pokemon League and all the curfew didn't warrant a silly war.

Despite her kindness, Lyra's doesn't wear her heart in her sleeves. She breaks from time to time on the natural strike of fear onto her: death, which stinks everywhere in war. Anyway I think even though Silver might not like, he's Nox and she doesn't exactly agree with him either, Lyra won't still turn him away. The difference with Gold is that she never felt betrayed with him. Maybe just disappointed.

[silver1]

True, Silver and Lyra are pretty different to say the least, lol. I wouldn't imagine there'd be very much they'd see eye to eye on at all. I think Silver's view of Lyra would be somewhat similar to how he feels about Gold: he'd find her annoying as all hell, yet somehow endearing regardless. & well, yeah, but Silver thinks a loooot of people are naive and unrealistic lol.

Yeah, the contrast between the two would make for some interesting stuff. If you ever wanna thread, just throw one up somewhere, or I could, and yeah. I'm a little busy with college shit at the moment, but it's starting to clear up now.
