Oran Valley Campaign
The Oran Valley Campaign will be run both spontaneously (often at odd hours), and with some sessions set in advance. The campaign will focus mostly on character interaction as the PCs work together to defend the town, run businesses, and try to attract more residents and tourists to the town!
Technology level is STEAM PUNK-ish. Metal and steam contraptions abound!
Your GMs are: BigTentacruel, Break, Cecil, Giantree, and Zoofman. Feel free to ask them for help, and run any new character concepts by them first!
Please check the table below for upcoming sessions. If you want to host a proper session, let one of the GMs know first before adding to the table. Minisessions require no GM permission or supervision - RP away!

Backstory
Life isn't easy in the Oran Valley. Far from the civilization, the villagers of Oran Village must deal with wild pokemon and hostile weather, relying only on each other and their pokemon. The people here in the Oran Valley are tough, because no matter your profession, everyone is expected to help defend the town if the need arises.
Oran Village is long past it's prime, however. The farms are withered and neglected, and merchant ships hardly come by anymore. Most families have moved away, looking for adventure and excitement, or just an easier place to live. It's up to those who remain to defend and improve their town.
In this spirit, the Mayor and others in the town have spent the last of their money to invite folks from other regions, looking for people to help work the land, defend the town, or set up a business.
- Trainer Level 10, 1 pokemon level 10
- Starting gold varies; depends on your backstory and starting assets
- Backstory: This of course, is the most important part of your application! You have a couple of things to decide. Are you from Oran Village, or from another region?
If you're from another region - why did you come, and what do you plan to do here? Did you come on a whim, or with the intention to find work under someone else, as a farm hand, or cook? Or perhaps you came with the intention of starting up your business, and fixing up one the various buildings or farmlands around the town?
If you're from Oran Village, do you have a family here? What do you and your family do? Do they own a business, farm, or ranch?
There's lots of options in either case of course! You can be a farmer, a guard, a hunter - or run a bakery, the inn; whatever. If want some suggestions, contact Paradox on IRC!
The Oran Valley
Mt. Iris The shorter of the two mountains around the Oran Valley, Mt. Iris is really more of a very tall hill. Because it's not very far from town, the hill's summit is often used during festivals and special occasions. The surrounding gentle hills are good farmland, and most the ranches and farms from Oran Village are in this area. The beautiful Tyrian Lake is also close to Mt. Iris.
Alizarin Forest The Alizarin forest is quite beautiful, and full of pokemon. There's several trails and paths through the forest, and many folk like to take time to walk through it. Useful plants and berries can be found here, if you know where to look.
Amaranth Mountain - The taller of the two tall mountains around the Oran Valley, Amaranth Mountain's lower reaches are fairly peaceful. Amaranth mountain has lots of natural caves, many of which are flooded. t's also the site of natural hot springs.
Old Forest - The Old Forest lies in the shadow of Amaranth Mountain. It's usually avoided because it's dark, overgrown, ripe with dangerous pokemon, and outlaws and brigands hiding from the Empirer's justice make their living in its depths. It's best avoided, although there is an old overgrown shrine in the forest, and a few villagers who know the way there like to visit.
Sunglow River - The Sunglow River springs from Amaranth Mountain's underground caverns, as the water shelf empties out towards the sea. It's a very cold and clear river, and provides the drinking water for the town.
Oran Beach - Oran Village is right on the coast, and has a small sandy beach. It's a popular hang-out during the summer, and most summer celebrations are held here.
Forgotten Mines - Back when Oran Village was more prosperous, there was a large mining operation being run in the hills north of Mt. Iris. The operation lost funding, and mines went into disrepair, but they're still there.

Oran Bonus Features
Oran Items
Logs
Session 1A - Iris Hill - 30 Spring - Mareeps are captured. This happens often.
Session 1B - Lazing Slaking - 30 Spring - Villagers hang out at the bar. This also happens often.
Session 1C - Lake Tyrian - 34 Spring - A denizen of the lake, Ol' Pincher, is suddenly angered by a 'Mysterious Stranger' of some sort. Afterward, it seems entirely appropriate to throw a party, which the villagers do.
Session 1D - Old Forest - 37 Spring - A venture into some nearby ruins. The group meets somebody they likely didn't expect to see.
Session 1E-1 - Oran Square - 45 Spring - During the Spring Festival, a loud man announces that Bandits are attacking. Surprisingly, they actually are. The villagers split off into groups and one of them tackles the Old Forest, which only goes to display why it's a bad idea to attack a village where everybody can use Future Sight.
Session 1E-2 - Iris Hill - 45 Spring - After splitting off into groups, one of the groups ends up playing Fire Emblem; not just any Fire Emblem, but that one mission where all you have is an axeman and you can do nothing but send him against an enemy axeman and watch them both hit each other but do hardly any damage for about twenty turns until one of them misses and then you either cheer or get angry and restart depending on which one it is. That's pretty much what happens.
Session 2A - The Beach - 55 Spring - A beach party is thrown in the Spring for some unknown reason, and our heroes are thrown into a cameo battle against one of the players. But they don't know that.
Session 2B - Forgotten Mines - 60 Spring - An old man befriends a dragon.
Session 2C - Oran Square - 70 Spring - The Spring Contest, postponed due to the bandit attack, is finally held! Things happen in ways, and it miraculously ends up being infinitely more exciting than every other contest anybody seems capable of remembering.
Session 2D - Unown Valley - 51 Spring - The local timid girl and her two allies of extreme derpitude find themselves transported to a strange dimension, where the most awesome things anybody could ever begin to comprehend happening happen. It really is too awesome to even be on this list, it deserves its own list. But it doesn't have one yet.
Session 2E - Everywhere - 75 Spring - The Fishing Contest begins, and people fish. Maybe they fish a little too much. Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
Session 2F - Iris Hill - 82 Spring - WHAT becomes less and less applicable of something of surprise, as the villagers of Oran realize their everyday lives are full of nonsense they aren't even able to comprehend. Oh, and aliens.
Session 3A - Old Tower - 90 Spring - A wizard appears! More wacky shit happens than just wizardry.
Session 3B - Oran Beach - 1 Summer - The main event of the Fireworks Festival! Fireworks blow up teenagers, people can't decide what culture the setting pulls clothing from, everybody has a fun time. Oh, and there are cookies too.
Session 3B-2 - Iris Hill - 1 Summer - More Fireworks Festival! Fireworks go off, timid girls stutter to the point of nigh-incomprehensibility, bulky forest-men derp around, everybody has a great time. But does anything important happen? Audino.
Session 3C - Iris Hill - 7 Summer - (Alt GM: zoofman) An expedition up to Mt. Iris is led in the interest of fetching Jack a Gible. Little did the rest of the group realize how freakishly well childhood friends Maka and Clari- er, Mirror Move and Fury Swipes worked together despite their constant bickering; it ended up in much, much more than Gibles, at least. Or rather, it became more of a message from the world itself, saying "stop using family finder."
Session 3D - Lake Tyrian - 10 Summer - The Swimming Contest begins! Unsurprisingly, it's yet another clusterfuck as nobody can think of anything to do while the mascot of Oran, DiceMaid-9001, fills their event with line after line of pure EFFORT. At least, that's how it starts off, until it's revealed that everybody in the village is a cheating prick and none of them actually know how to have any fun.
Session 3E - Old Forest - 16 Summer - (Alt GM: Giantree) Mysterious food disappearances have been reported all over the Oran Valley! A small band of Oranites proves themselves to, indeed, be bad enough villagers to seek out and punish this menace, leading them to a big buffet of wackiness. But were they prepared for the truth to be revealed? Actually, I'll go ahead and tell you now that yeah, they were. Oh well.
Session 3F - The Library - 17 Summer - Clarazar bring some books over, filled with seemingly useless information. Well, useless unless you cook pancakes anyway, which most of Oran tends to not do. SUDDENLY, crazyass weirdos show up from out of nowhere and get attacked! Can you guess what they're cameos from? Of course you can, their game ended 26 years ago.
Session 3G - Oran Square - 25 Summer - (GM: BigTentacruel) Oranites realize Oran's still got the maximum silly after infinite stalling, because the tomato fight is very silly. A new arrival in the village more-or-less hosts it, and the results are only-maybe-expected. Have fun!
Session 3H - Iris Hill/Alizarin Forest - 29 Summer - (GM: Botherer) Oranites gather to view a meteor shower, only to… the narration actually can't think of any really clever jokes relating to what happened here, but anyway shit gets rocky. But at least it's pretty cool.
Minisessions:
Minisession 1C/D-1 - 35 Spring - Villagers hang out at the bar, Raven gets drunk. Shenanigans ensue.
Minisession 1D/E-1 - 37 Spring - Villagers hang out at the bar again. More shenanigans.
Minisession 1D/E-2 - 37 Spring - Jack and Iona stare at each other awkwardly.
Minisession 1D/E-3 - 38 Spring - Henry sells clothes to Nephene. They're fabulous.
Minisession 1E/2A-1 - 49 Spring - Alex ventures into the mine by himself. He's very lonely. He isn't as lonely once he finds a— no, wait, he's still lonely.
Minisession 1E/2A-2 - 51 Spring - Hunting in the not-so-old forest.
Minisession 1E/2A-3 - 52 Spring - Balthazar spars with Submission. It doesn't last long.
Minisession 1E/2A-4 - 48 Spring - A picnic in the mountains. And more. More, as in, a lot of insults and more food than makes sense to actually have been there.
Minisession 1E/2A-5 - 47 Spring - Clarity and Raven have a bonding session that somehow turns into breeding a Shinx with an amorphous blob. Somehow.
Minisession 1E/2A-6 - 48-51 Spring - A litter of Shinx is born, and- WHAT.
Minisession 1E/2A-7 - 49 Spring - Ricki learns how to Daycare. Or at least tries to.
Minisession 1E/2A-8 - 46 Spring - Jack contemplates what name to give his new Jigglypuff friend. He is provided one.
Minisession 1? - X Spring - At some point in time, Raven and Barkeep had a discussion with some bandits. It happened solely to make this logfile list infinitely more confusing and they should both feel bad about themselves.
Minisession 2A/B-1 - 56 Spring - The balls merchant sells balls at his balls store. People buy balls.
Minisession 2C/E-1 - 72 Spring - Hearing grave news that the village has a yearly fishing contest, the local mermaid fish-lover Iona decides to hold a protest. It earns plenty of weird looks from the people of Oran.
Minisession 2C/E-2 - 71-73 Spring - Joanna takes the villagers of Oran on some breeding romps, and everybody has an educational - albeit somewhat creepy - time watching how babby is formed.
Minisession 2C/E-3 - 73 Spring - Jack is suddenly approached by somebody to whom his grandfather made a promise he couldn't keep— and may have made a new rival out of it.

Minisession 2E/F-2 - 75 Spring - Out of the way during the Fishing Contest, Iona has the brilliant plan to start her business. The only thing she discovers is ridiculousness.
Minisession 2F/3A-1 - 90 85 Spring - Lorelei is on her way to town; runs into Arawn and Cedric. Then suddenly they encounter a giant cliffhanger.
Minisession 2F/3A-1.5 - 85 Spring - The finale of the above.
Minisession 2F/3A-2 - 83 Spring - Raven and Maka visit Balthazar for UFOs, Aliens, and stories about PokEO.
Minisession 2F/3A-3 - 82 Spring - Iona hunts for underwater for Ricki, who realizes she's a mermaid. By the way, she's a mermaid.
Minisession 2F/3A-4 - 82 Spring - Unfortunately for poor Flynn, the insane teenager who made him promise to teach her how to bake a seafood cake follows up and appears the next day. Customers later pointed out large chunks of hair littering the ground around his store.
Minisession 2F/3A-5 - 84 Spring - Terri and Balthazar have a lovely time together reminding each other how bad of a thing it is to have a session where it's 80% rolling dice and the rest is just yelling at each other. Silly tabletops. But sillier Terri. Don't you just love Terri? Everybody loves Terri. Terri should be Oran's mascot.
Minisession 2F/3A-6 - 84 Spring - Cress? Terri? Where have I heard those names before? Are those characters? Huh.
Minisession 3A/B-1 - 90 Spring - Another day at the Lazing Slaking… kind of. All of a sudden, Arawn breaks in and decides he wants to pour his heart out to a little girl, in a probably-not-creepy way.
Minisession 3A/B-2 - 90 Spring - Continuation of the day at the Lazing Slaking. With different customers. It totally isn't a big PokEO homage or anything, nope, the players would never do something like that.
Minisession 3A/B-3 - 90 Spring - The village WIZARD proves how great of a job he's able to do at hiding his practice. That is to say, none at all.
Minisession 3B/C-1 - 2 Summer - Barkeep and Canute have a discussion about magic and wizards. The former realizes what kind of magic is able to touch his sister's heart. It belongs to a wizard.
Minisession 3B/C-2 - 3 Summer - The library's timid girl meets a group of adventurers who discuss an ADVENTURE. What will happen? Horrible things. Seriously, look at everything else that's happened, there's no way it's going to go well. Poor them.
Minisession 3B/C-3 - 2 Summer - An incredibly noisy boat continues taking off from whatever port Oran has— but wait a second! That's not a boat at all, it's a massive armored battleship. In today's adventure, Barkeep and Raven have another bout of embarrassing conversation and generally do nothing but act out a poorly-written fanfiction. The whole village is mortified at the idea that they will continue to be like this. Slutty costumes are included.
Minisession 3B/C-4 - 2 Summer - A very, very awkward conversation in the Lazing Slaking explaining one scene that lasted only a few seconds despite being hilarious innuendo. Then some less important things happen, but that's not what you're reading this for.
Minisession 3B/C-5 - 3 Summer - Everybody's favorite MUSCLE WIZARD lifts a piano while being given a tour of the town, providing an excellent first-read session for lazies who are like "Oh boy, I want to read Oran logs!" but never do because there are so many of them. No really, it's great, all the villagers get brief, unintentionally insulting descriptions. However, they are shamed with the news that never as long as they live will they be able to obtain a piano-playing robot to play it. They'll have to have a crab do it instead. And that's just terrible.
Minisession 3B/C-6 - 3 Summer - The single ladies get dragged along by Raven to go camping. Things end exactly as you expect them to. Raven should've made sure to check her flask first. <- got deleted NOT ANYMORE NOW WITH MORE DRUNKEN BEST FRIENDS
Minisession 3B/C-7 - 5 Summer - Arawn's at it again. Really, that's the only way to explain it. This happens every time.
Minisession 3B/C-8 - 2 Summer - Balthazar, this time, is the recipient of Iona's treasure hunting shenanigans. It ends up in a bunch of wacky accusations, but at least one of them rings true: THE PEOPLE HERE ARE CRAZY. Welcome to Oran Valley, Iona.
Minisession 3B/C-9 - 8 Summer - Lorelei stops by the Widdershin Day Care to get an egg hatched, and typical Oran silliness is the result. Oh, and Tom makes an appearance too, isn't he cute? Don't you want to just pick him up and hug him?
Minisession 3C/D-1 - 8 Summer - Barkeep, feeling the Baroness of the Barrens isn't interesting enough to keep, heads off to give her to the village wizard, resulting in obligatory silliness. Also, the 'Newt' nickname catches on somehow. Wonder how that happened.
Minisession 3C/D-2 - 9 Summer - What starts off as a lovely session of the village's favorite derp pairing hanging out without warning quickly warps into more foreshadowing at the horrible things to come in the village. But that's infinitely less important than Barkeep appearing and commissioning a robot pianist! By the way, Barkeep commissioned a robot pianist. Did I mention there was a robot pianist involved? Robot pianist.
Minisession 3C/D-3 - 7 Summer - After a long adventure, Sky the Shinx returns to the library where he speaks to his old friend Dostoyevsky the Slowpoke. Amon the Lucario comes too, but it is still the most wordswordswordsy shit you will ever see.
Minisession 3C/D-4 - 8 Summer - After some girly chatter about boyfriends and swimsuits, it is very evident that Nephene is a big bundle of sekrets, and Raven may or may not have a plot to unearth them. Oh, and poor Claud. What could he have possibly done to deserve such a fate? <- Got deleted NOW BACK WITH MORE SWIMSUITERY
Minisession 3C/D-5 - 9 Summer - It's another peaceful day in Oran Valley- oh, hey, look, it's Raven and Barkeep! They're in love! They're so in love that they're dating! They're so dating that they go out on a fishing trip! They're so out on a fishing trip that Ricki emerges from the ocean to say hello to them, destroying their boat and killing them both in the process! … Just kidding, but can you imagine if that had actually happened?
Minisession 3D/E-1 - 10 Summer - Raven and Barkeep are shipping AGAIN. What a surprise! Immediately after the swimming contest, the 'accident' the latter suffers is enough to make them prattle on for hours about DEEP in-character stuff. They also troll the everloving crap out of everybody watching, if that's enough fourth wall-breaking to help you, the reader, understand what Oran is like.
Minisession 3D/E-2 - 10 Summer - After the events of the Swimming Contest, victorious Nephene retreats to the Lazing Slaking to do her work in peace. She does a bad job at being peaceful, though, as two interruptions make her life a lot harder. It also becomes unanimously agreed on by everybody observing that all Pokémon with Jolly natures like pancakes. Don't try to argue about it.
Minisession 3D/E-3 - 10 Summer - Maka and Arawn. Yep.
Minisession 3D/E-4 - 11 Summer - Sky and Dos, the best pals in Oran Valley, are at it again. And it is the most wordswordswordsy shit you will ever see. But hey, at least they have fun!
Minisession 3D/E-5 - 11 Summer - Raven and Balthazar have a pleasant talk about guarddom and about how the people of Oran are silly. I mean, seriously, was there anybody who didn't think Iona was an alien? Raven is a goof.
Minisession 3D/E-6 - 11 Summer - The Oranites in the Lazing Slaking have a lengthy discussion about relationships as they notice their village slowly drifting away to the point of becoming a soap opera. Fortunately for them soap operas haven't been invented yet so they start friendzoning each other. And then they keep friendzoning each other.
Minisession 3D/E-7 - 11 Summer - Barven - NO NOT RAVENKEEP - does it some more. As in, you know, ships. Actually this time there's combat, can you guess how it goes? The two of them share secrets and stuff. You know what Oran Valley needs more of? Ricki. There hasn't been enough Ricki. Maybe he should interrupt one of these someday or something.
Minisession 3D/E-8 - 12 Summer - An innkeeper's self-reflection.
Minisession 3D/E-9 - 15 Summer - High-Powered Warship Clarazar counterattacks! Balthazar has invented a video camera and seeks a way to make showing it off to the whole village interesting, getting some crazy suggestions from his assistant. As for what happens next… can you believe nobody saw this coming? Seriously.
Minisession 3D/E-10 - 12 Summer - Raven and Nephene have talk of their potential future as in-laws while it's revealed that the Lazing Slaking is so totally foreshadowing a waitress minigame. Failing that, turning into a maid café or something to go with traditional Oran silliness. And right when you think it'll finally be a session without Barkeep showing up to ship to infinity, YOU'RE WRONG. Read on.
Minisession 3D/E-11 - 12 Summer - A pleasant chat between Maka and Submission, where t-the former s-stutters f-far too much to f-form c-coherent s-s-sentences. Little does she realize that earlier in the campaign she didn't stutter that much at all and was only slightly timid. But that's what happens when your campaign's on hold for so long.
Minisession 3D/E-12 - 13 Summer - Joanna sells 'mons.
Minisession 3D/E-13 - 14 Summer - A lovely time is had in Balthazar's lab when Submission comes in, requesting help for a gift to aid his unrequited love. Speaking of love, there's a romance scene in here too that will probably make fans "D'aww." On hold until the server comes up because suptg just wanted to throw off their shipping.
Minisession 3E/F-1 - 18 Summer - Clarity goes to the Lazing Slaking for another curry run, and this time the "all jolly-natured Pokémon love pancakes" thing is slightly less played up. However, talk of marriage eventually throws a buffet of silly into DRAMA when everyone's favorite bitchy guard comes downstairs. You know those moments when the joke character tries to do something serious and you're like "oh, they'll fail comically" but then they actually end up being pretty awesome? Yeah, it's one of those. Alternatively you think it'll actually end up being for real but then they DO fail comically. How will this one end? That's up to you to find out!
Minisession 3F/G-1 - 24 Summer - It's Nephene's birthday! It's totally not an invitation for things to get more awkward!
