A Trip into History: Q&A Journal

PCA Ideas | Artist/Writer Self-Pimping | Welcoming Committee | New Wiki | Old Wiki | Member Activities | Background | Team Name List (FA) | Team Name List (wiki) | Faculty List | Indy Student List | Roleplay Info | Friend Codes | Forum Q:How do I set up my character for this trip?
A: You are to choose one of the 4 History teachers identified in the comic to have your student be 'one' in the 'group' of kids they are over seeing. So you are basically pretended like your student character is in a group of other kids with that specific teacher. Make sure to read those I.D.ed teachers' profiles in the PCA image gallery.
Q: What are the kinds of clothing can my student wear?
A: They are to dress as if they would naturally belong in a medieval setting prior to their leaving for the trip. (Where they buy these outfits..you decide). You want to start them off in civilian like outfits. Armor and what not can be gained later (and believe me, they may end up needing it at some point). Use the pokemon movie that had a middle age theme in them as a starting point idea for style ideas though most any kind of middle age reference will work. Even the clothing style from the up coming pokemon game http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/ranse/ seen here will work. Again, the idea is for the students to blind in with their surroundings and not stick out.
Q: What regions will this be taking place in?
A: The trip will begin in the region the PCA is in itself. The Poke-Combat Academy's campus is located on the western outskirts of Viridian City. If the controllers of the supervising teacher characters want to take their kids out of region to explore other areas with the assumed time agreement to return for their departure time, then they may make this desire noted in this journal. Otherwise, it's to be assumed the Teacher characters are NPCs which you can use (keeping them in character in accordance to their file descriptions) as the situation calls for the story/art you are making. It's not expected that everyone use the teacher characters 100% the same. Just assume the same trip is being experienced by different students from those student's individual perspectives.
Q: Just how long will the Event be?
A: "In game wise" the events of the EVENT is scheduled to take place in the span of 7 days. Will this time travel adventure actually be "in story 7 days" will depend on what unexpected situations may 'pop up' during the trip. As for Real World time frame I am open to suggestions of how long people would like to keep this event going. (I, the admin, was thinking of having events like these run quarterly and people will have time to flesh out what they want to do in that time span, but totally open to suggestions of how long people actually want to do this. Clearly though it will not be literally one week worth of time).
Q: Will the Board members that drop us off in the past be sticking around?
A: No. They have school business that they'll have to attend to but they will be back in time to pick up and transport students back. There will be a pair of Poke-Star Rangers will will serve as security for students as they've been sent ahead of time to prepare for the kid's arrival.
Q: Can my character effect changes in the past that will have consequences in the present/future?
A: No. You're on a field trip to learn, not to try to make your family rich in the future, but who's to say what you do when you are there wasn't meant to have happened in the first place that makes things the way they currently are.
Q: Can my character bring stuff back from the past to the present?
A: No. You must not effect the flow of time by removing things from the past, Artie will be made at you and Judgement you home town. You know how sensitive he can be about jewels disappearing.
Q: How many characters can I have in this?
A: As many as you feel you can manage in the story you are telling.
Q: Can I have my characters interact with other people's characters?
A: Yes, IF that person wants. That will have to be something you check with other people who decide to participate.
Q: What happens to other students who don't go on the trip?
A: They're lives will continue just like they always had. In any school not every study gets to go on or chooses to go on a field trip.
Q: What is the world of the past like?
A: We'll be using the anime movie's as a base idea of the past (minus the humans, replace the humans with pokemorphs). But there are a pokemorph vs feral pokemon component to the world. Live is what you'd expect in the middle ages, villages, farms, battles, things in the wild trying to eat you. (And yes, your character's parents have signed the liability forms.)
Any other questions no already answered feel free to ask and I'll try to get back with you on that.
(ONE ADDITIONAL THING): Please do not use the characters of people who are not active in the PCA, it saves us from getting nasty letters about their characters being favored by the site (yes, being faved does indeed bring anger from some people).

"I used to be a Poke Fighter like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee."
Okay, maybe it wasn't an arrow, but yeah, Mallary says I'm not allowed to talk to him till a better meme shows up.
