Karud Questions

Post by VZhitogoroshi » Sat Aug 16, 2008 9:02 pm

I was going to do a post about the history, but instead I thought I'd go for a more interactive approach. In my "idea" thread I give the basics. But here, you can ask as many questions as you like about the setting and I'll answer them. I'm terrible at putting something so over-reaching in any sort of sequence, so this should work better.

So yeah, I'm gunna bite the bullet and ask the Million dollar question.

Team "Blank"

Do they exist in this post-apocalyptic world? Does organized crime still exist at all? Do they still do that crazy intro theme after 10 years of--

Whoops just ignore that last one xD.

No "organized crime". There's barely any organization at all. You might find a few looters who use that as a title, or people who were members before the crash, but the entire team system collapsed with the death of the phone.

How does the, uh, infrastructure look like? What ways of transportation, etc. Will that be added to the Karud map? And will the map generally be more specified?

Transportation is by remnants of whatever we had before, which is to say virtually nothing. Your pokemon are your best mode of transportation. The map has no purpose to be more generally specified really, except for instance if there are to be any deserts there or whatever. That is to say, if you need a desert to be somewhere, say it's there and we'll work it in.

Unspecified, but long enough for me to have been a champion and still be in my late 20s/early 30s for this RP to start. Use your imagination.

Own pokemon, huh? Flying on Electrode would be hardcore ;)

Or you could have taken what pokemon can fly into account when you submitted your character. I don't have problems getting around between Arcanine and Skarmory and Kingdra, but you don't have anything big enough to carry a person. Guess you'll be walking.

So what happened to the folks such as Team Rocket when all hell broke loose? Did they disband, or just go into hiding?

I believe I already asked that question <_<. If not, it was similar enough. Hito said they broke down because of lack of communication and stuff like that.

Do Pokemanz that are water or fish based require water constantly? How would they cope with their trainer using them in the field without water?

Yes.

They would shrivel and die. Some faster than others. (Starmie for instance can outlast goldeen on land)

Aw damn...So, then, what's the point of water pokemon at all from a practical standpoint?

Did you not notice the gigantic areas of blue on the map of Karud?

Yeah, but what if you're in a forest, or even in the middle of a town? I can't really think of any way to keep one aside from tying a fishtank on wheels to your waist :3

EDIT: Like Yarin; no water anywheres!
