Hello there! Welcome to the world of FAMILIARS! My name is HARMONY! People call me the A FAMILIARS PROF! This world is inhabited by creatures called FAMILIARS! For some people, FAMILIARS are pets. Others use them for fights. Myself...I study FAMILIARS as a profession.

(Pretend a picture of In Harmony as a Pokemon Professor is here)
As you approach In Harmony's booth; the world flickers and swirls around you. When you finally get your feet back under you, you find yourself outside of a large building. A giant ball in red and white adorns the front of the building. Many people of all ages are streaming into the building, excitement buzzing in the air. You are drawn inside, curiosity getting the better of you.

As you follow the crowd, you walk through a large room with high ceilings and cold, hard, marble floors. The murmurs here are even louder as they echo off the walls. Everything glistens and gleams with importance, you feel in awe but intimidated at the interior.

You notice people queuing at a large double door and decide to join in. As you slowly shuffle forward, you notice a sign; Professor Harmonys' New Species Reveal! You start to feel excited.

Inside the doors is a huge theatre like space. The chairs are in curved rows, like a half circle and are quickly filling up. You rush to get a seat and managed to find one between a larger, built man who is only wearing tight, short swim trunks and an earring and a small child, about 5 or 6, holding a insect cage. Strange bunch in here...

The roof of theatre begins to move, allowing sunlight and fresh air to flood into the room. The dark ceiling is now replaced by open, blue skies. A beautiful day.

The sunshine illuminates a stage where a single professor stands. This must be Prof. Harmony! The tall, willowy woman with lightly tanned skin, long, platinum blonde hair stood imposingly on the stage. Her white coat was over a smart blue pant suit and she has large, round, green glasses on. People quiet down almost instantly.

Professor Harmony greets the crowd as a large screen lowers behind her. She takes out a large telescopic silver pointer and twirls it in her hand while the screen gets into place, talking briefly about herself, her experience and education. Applause and several animal sounds fill the air.

"Now what you've all been waiting for! But I'm not going to just SHOW you the familiars, no no. This is a test of your observation skills and knowledge of familiars! If you're lucky, you will get to walk home with a new familiar just recently discovered to the amazement and jealousy of your community!

Harmony wacks the screen with her pointer quite violently. The screen shakes slightly.

"FIRST SLIDE!"

In this world you are whomever you want to be! Are you a trainer? Fellow professor? Gym leader? Civilian? Undercover member of Team Flood or Team Darkness? Are you a boy or a girl? The world of FAMILIARS is open to you to explore!

Stolen from Bane
As this booth falls outside of the swamp, those who enter this are and roleplay cannot remember any of the specifics of aspects outside of things commonly found in the swamp itself.

However, hazy details of interactions may be carried over in a dreamlike way. I.e Example Kin might not remember where they were or what it looked like, but they might remember having a happy or angry conversation with Different Kin, just with the inability to grasp the fine details of their surroundings or what a human even is or looks like.

It is possible for kin to have a completely skewed memory of events, if they had a fight with another kin in the AU, they might just remember having a physical fight with those kin in the “real world” as their normal goat shaped selves. There is leniency here, so long as nothing swamp breaking is recalled. A feeling of déjà vu when meeting an individual later might occur and so on. This is completely optional, and it is entirely fine to just remember nothing at all.

To Win a Mystery Pokemon Familiar; do the following:
  • Roll 5d20

    Whatever numbers you roll, answer the short questions or prompts based on your observations and guesses on the mystery familiar.

    If you roll double numbers, you may either answer the question again with a different answer or just pick a prompt that speaks to you.

    There will be a new familiar every week with a large raffle at the end.

    Each week closes on Thursday at 11:59 PST

    You may only enter once a week.

    It doesn't matter if your guesses and answers are correct or not, it's just for giggles and to acquire tickets! You can give easy answers or roleplay out your answers, adding whatever details you like. Just have fun with it!

    Every Friday (starting Dec 1st) I will roll for winners. Winners will be quoted for a preference list.

    You may only win one (1) prize from my booth. I want to make sure as many people as possible win!
1. What is this familiars' typing? (water, fighting, leaf etc)
2. As a Trainer; which familiar would you use to weaken the mystery familiar so you can catch it?
3. What is this familiar's nature? (lax, clam, sassy, etc)
4. As a Gym Leader; which familiar would you choose to battle with to beat the mystery familiar?
5. Guess the colour of the familiar.
6. Guess which type this familiar is strong against.
7. Oh No! You're the Leader of Team Darkness! Is this familiar the legendary one you've been seeking?
8. What environment do you think this familiar was found in?
9. You found a TM! Which one would you give this familiar to make them more powerful?
10. Which berry do you think they like least?
11. As a Gym Leader; what other familiars would you have on your team in addition to the unknown familiar?
12. As a Trainer; which pokeball do you think is best to catch this familiar?
13. As a Professor; would this familiar change typing if it evolves?
14. Is this a large or small familiar? (looks might deceive!)
15. Name an attack you think this familiar has.
16. As a Professor; would you give this familiar to a trainer starting their journey?
17. Oh No! You're the Leader of Team Flood! How does this familiar fit into your master plan?
18. Guess which type this familiar is vulnerable against.
19. Which elemental stone do you think this familiar would react to?
20. Which berry do you think they like best?

Note: Familiar in these prompts can be a familiar of the Swamp or an actual Pokemon. Mix and Match; the choice is yours!
