| [attr="class","rostername"]@melinda [attr="class","rostersub"]a twenty-two year old Breeder from Rigel City |
[attr="class","rosterback"] [attr="class","rostercat"]FULL NAME [attr="class","rostercatsub"]Melinda Silverwind | [attr="class","rostercat"]AGe [attr="class","rostercatsub"]Nineteen | [attr="class","rostercat"]GENDER [attr="class","rostercatsub"]Female | [attr="class","rostercat"]SEXUALITY [attr="class","rostercatsub"]Straight | [attr="class","rostercat"]PERK [attr="class","rostercatsub"] range for egg production are 2-4 instead of 1-3. | [attr="class","rostercat"]FAVORITE TYPE [attr="class","rostercatsub"]Fire and Psychic |
[attr="class","rosterback"] [attr="class","rostercat2"] Melinda can be easily described in a few select words and those are as follows: Loyal, Courageous, Friendly and outgoing. Melinda is the type of girl who will try her best to make friends with those she comes across, provided she thinks they are worthy of actually being her friends that is. She's rather vain actually, believing herself to be basically royalty even if she is in fact not royalty at all. She's somewhat self-entitled and thinks if she wants something she should get it. Though she is friendly to other people of her stature and even some people below her as long as they aren't the mean-spirited sort.
Melinda also is very courageous and rushes headfirst into danger. She will throw herself into the line of a fight for her friends, and even sometimes her Pokemon.She can also be somewhat childish, and gets distracted at little things. She also had a bad habit of breaking out into song and this can sometimes happen at the wrong time. If it ever does and she catches it, she appologises profusley.
When you become Melinda's friend she is the type of person to do whatever she needs to back you up and is extremely loyal to those she actually cares about. Nonetheless, in her head, she's a princess and should be treated as such. Polite and very much civilized in the fancier of manners others lack, Melinda, tends to be able to remain composed in at least a few situations though she does have buttons that can easily enough be pushed.
She values respect as has been mentioned and will not stop herself from yelling at you if you are rude to her. She dislikes rude people and is of the mindset that If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all" At least that is how she views whatever other people might have to say whereas whatever she has to say... nice or not she will say it. [attr="class","rostercatsub2"]PERSONALITY | [attr="class","rostercat2"] Melinda was born The third child to a very rich family in Inset. Growing up in The Rigel Streets and being part of one of the more wealthy families in the Region as a whole. Her parents were famous Pokemon breeders which brought them into all of their money. Melinda herself one day hoped to follow in that as well, but also join the contest circuit.
Growing up Melinda was given anything and everything she wanted without having to lift a finger. Despite this, the child was taught something of work ethic by her mother though neither parent paid too much attention to their daughter. Yes, they loved her greatly and yes they gave her what she wanted but they gave her possessions as if it were to make up for their absences.
Their work funded their daughter's lifestyle and if she ever asked the couple would tell her that it was because of that the girl got what she had and, should they stop working as much she would have less and life would be miserable.She spent most of her time practicing singing and took a shine to anime and cartoon music. She now sings most of the time, even when it is not wise. She believes she's as good as Kelly Clarkson.It Made sense, as her two older siblings who were twins were both Magicians.
School was alright for Melinda. However, it was nothing all too special. She went to private schools all through high school, made a few friends and did well enough in school that no one ever seemed to have many issues with her grades. She was also respectful and well behaved in school, not really causing problems with anyone. Eventually, Melinda decided she'd had enough of school and decided to go on a Pokemon journey. She dropped out of college and set out into the region of Inset.

PENDING Since you left the site previously without checking in for the activity check you will be starting anew. That being said you can't have a premade Pokemon since this is your first character after having to restart from missing an activity check.
Cassiopeia Village is a very small village and I would like elaboration on what her family did exactly to make so much money in such a small town. Especially since it funded Melinda's lifestyle so easily. Other towns in Inset would be much more viable for a rich family of course but you will still have to explain what exactly they do.
Also, you have some traits that aren't very well meshed. Someone whose self-entitled and thinking they should get whatever they want doesn't really run as friendly. Especially not when you go on to say that she's got a bad temper and will go off at the drop of a hat.
Finally, I'd like to request you using a spell check / checking your grammar and punctuation. You're missing spaces and have many misspelled words in your application. PHARAOH LEAP.

PENDING I'd like to request you using a spell check / checking your grammar and punctuation. You're missing spaces and have many misspelled words in your application and the town of origin for her is no longer Cassiopeia so please fix that as well.
There are still some inconsistencies in your personality. A polite person who values respect isn't going to go on a warpath with pranks most likely. Especially since that isn't exactly respectful of another person. If she's as polite and well-mannered as her biography says then the troublemaker part doesn't exactly make sense. PHARAOH LEAP.

PENDING Hi there! I’m gonna go point by point to try to keep myself on track and make sure everything is addressed. I encourage you to look at what needs doing and actually make the changes before you post that it’s finished, because the starter thread that’s currently frozen won’t be unlocked until the application matches the character you’re playing with. Just calling her the same name and using the same face claim doesn’t mean you’re playing the same character. That’s the whole reason we have apps after all! To keep things consistent and clear for other members to read and figure out who they are and how your characters will interact together~ Here are the issues with the basics section and the app template itself: - First of all, I would like to ask that you fill the application out correctly. Right now you have replaced the wrong parts with the answers to the basic info sections. The BOLDED part should be the label while the smaller text should be the answers. So NAME should be on the bottom in bold while Melinda Silverwind is at the top above the line. Right now you have it reversed and it looks bad with the code, and is inconsistent with other applications. So you’ll need to fix this.
- Also, in the section for “Perk” you should have Breeder instead of what the result of their perk is. The perk is the title like trainer, coordinator, or researcher. The thing they get out of that perk is the stuff like more eggs for breeders or more levels til exhaustion for trainers. Please make this correction when fixing the app.
- You have two ages for her in the app. The top says twenty-two but the answer in the basic section says nineteen? Which is it?
Now for the Personality section: - Melinda can be easily described in a few select words and those are as follows: Loyal, Courageous, Friendly and outgoing. - Obviously she can be described in more than these four words since these are all positive traits and you go on to say a great deal more than those four. It’s misleading to say she’s just these four and then to read further and see as many contradictions as there are here.
- Melinda is the type of girl who will try her best to make friends with those she comes across, provided she thinks they are worthy of actually being her friends that is. - How does she judge whether they’re worthy? Is it on face value? Is she friendly enough to get to know them first and then decides whether they’re worthy? I just need more than these one-off comments about how she is without much more detail than that.
- She's rather vain actually, believing herself to be basically royalty even if she is in fact not royalty at all. - Vanity is defined as “excessive pride in or admiration of one's own appearance or achievements.” and has nothing to do with thinking you’re royalty since royalty is to do with status and not appearance or achievements.
- She's somewhat self-entitled and thinks if she wants something she should get it. - I know you go into this in her history so I don’t think this is a contradiction just yet.
- Though she is friendly to other people of her stature and even some people below her as long as they aren't the mean-spirited sort. - What are her standards for her “stature” and how does she talk to people long enough to know it? Again, is it based on face value or something more?
- Melinda also is very courageous and rushes headfirst into danger. She will throw herself into the line of a fight for her friends, and even sometimes her Pokemon. - Why only sometimes for her Pokemon? How many instances has this spoiled rich girl been in a situation where she would be in the position to put herself in the line of danger for friends or pokemon for this to definitely be a personality trait of hers at the start of her journey?
- She can also be somewhat childish, and gets distracted at little things. - like what? Also, childish brings to mind a synonym of immature. Having a short attention span doesn’t necessarily mean she’s not mature? Just easily distracted.
- She also had a bad habit of breaking out into song and this can sometimes happen at the wrong time. - She’s supposed to be a refined, wealthy, poised young woman but she’s breaking out into song at inappropriate times?
- If it ever does and she catches it, she appologises profusley. - You were asked before to run a spell check by Inari. I don’t know if this was added in the revising so the last round of spellcheck didn’t get it - but you should try to do a spellcheck whenever you add something if you have this much trouble with spelling mistakes.
- When you become Melinda's friend she is the type of person to do whatever she needs to back you up and is extremely loyal to those she actually cares about. Nonetheless, in her head, she's a princess and should be treated as such. - These statements aren’t mutually exclusive, so I’m not sure why you said it as ‘nonetheless’. They aren’t related and so one doesn’t negate the other? You seem to have a lot of trouble with transition words and making your writing flow, and it results in the piece as a whole being a confusing hodge-podge of traits that contradict one another and only succeed in confusing and frustrating the reader. You should really try to make this a cohesive character and not more like someone just threw darts at a board of traits and wrote singlular statements about them without thinking of how they actually work together.
- Polite and very much civilized in the fancier of manners others lack, Melinda, tends to be able to remain composed in at least a few situations though she does have buttons that can easily enough be pushed. - She’s civilized but randomly bursts into singing Scooby Doo songs. Those things are contradictory. Furthermore, if she’s polite I don’t think she would be acting like a childish/spoiled brat who thinks everything should be handed to her or be writing people off for not being worthy of her friendship.
- She values respect as has been mentioned and will not stop herself from yelling at you if you are rude to her. She dislikes rude people and is of the mindset that If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all" At least that is how she views whatever other people might have to say whereas whatever she has to say... nice or not she will say it. - Nobody who values respect would yell at someone or expect to be handed whatever they want without putting in any work for it. Also, nobody who is polite and refined would yell at someone? Again these are severely contradictory and make for an inconsistent personality overall.
- It’s not a lot of work, and it’s really simple enough to fix. It’s just a matter of you actually fixing it. Please don’t tag me back until you’ve actually done some work on this, because it’ll just be pended again otherwise and I really don’t like when people waste my time.
Now moving on to the history: - Melinda was born The third child to a very rich family in Inset. - this is nitpicky but why is The capitalized? This happens more than once in the app so I don't think I'll point it out each time. Just double check things like this, or spaces not being there, or using the wrong punctuation (like a ; instead of an ')
- Growing up in The Rigel Streets and being part of one of the more wealthy families in the Region as a whole. Her parents were famous Pokemon breeders which brought them into all of their money. - She grew up “in the streets” but was in one of the wealthier families of the region. It may just be poor word choice on your part but it sounds like she was homeless and rich. :’3
- Melinda herself one day hoped to follow in that as well, but also join the contest circuit. - What made her join the contest circuits instead of just going into breeding if that’s something she hoped to do like her parents? Surely something happened to trigger that?
- Growing up Melinda was given anything and everything she wanted without having to lift a finger. Despite this, the child was taught something of work ethic by her mother though neither parent paid too much attention to their daughter. - Major contradictions. She never had to lift a finger, but was taught work ethic, but then her parents never paid attention to her. This is a series of contradictions. I sense a pattern here…
- Yes, they loved her greatly and yes they gave her what she wanted but they gave her possessions as if it were to make up for their absences. - This is at least an explanation for why she is the way she is with expecting things to be handed to her. But the contradictions still stand from before even with this explanation in place.
- Their work funded their daughter's lifestyle and if she ever asked the couple would tell her that it was because of that the girl got what she had and, should they stop working as much she would have less and life would be miserable. - What sort of lifestyle did she have? Also if they’re just breeders it doesn’t seem like it’s not the type of thing they couldn’t bring their kids along to whether they did their breeding in their home or at a separate farm-like facility. I would think out of all the kinds of jobs someone could have with pokemon, breeding would be one that would make the parents the most available for their children. Like, how did she know she wanted to be a breeder one day because of them if she never actually saw them working or saw what went into it?
- She spent most of her time practicing singing and took a shine to anime and cartoon music. She now sings most of the time, even when it is not wise. She believes she's as good as Kelly Clarkson. It Made sense, as her two older siblings who were twins were both Magicians. - Did she have formal lessons? If so what did her instructor think of her affinity for cartoon music instead of classical or at least pop music? Lastly, what in the world does any of that have to do with her older twin siblings being magicians? Going back to one thing I pointed out in the personality: those sentences don’t have anything to do with one another. How does her being as good as Kelly Clarkson make sense because of her siblings being magicians? It’s nonsense…
- School was alright for Melinda. However, it was nothing all too special. She went to private schools all through high school, made a few friends and did well enough in school that no one ever seemed to have many issues with her grades. She was also respectful and well behaved in school, not really causing problems with anyone. Eventually, Melinda decided she'd had enough of school and decided to go on a Pokemon journey. She dropped out of college and set out into the region of Inset. - Where does the part in her history about her being a coordinator come into play? It’s only been mentioned once in the entirety of her history and that was a one-off sentence right at the start that even then seemed awkwardly placed because there was no lead up and then no resolution with details further into the app. Further, as mentioned in the personality section, I’ve seen no indications of courage reflected in her history. No examples of her stepping into the line of fire for a friend or pokemon. No indications of her being loyal to anyone or anything if she just dropped out of school and left when she got bored. Nothing in this application is consistent other than her being spoiled.
Now I’ll be going over your starter post - the crux of the issue now - and pointing out things that contradicted what was in the app. Yes, not only were there contradictions within your app, in that details in it didn’t make sense - but comparing the character in the starter post to the character in this app and there’s even more stuff that just doesn’t add up. - Melinda walked towards the lab with a sigh. She had never really believed in herself much, and honestly, she doubted she could survive on a Pokemon journey. Then again, Melinda was unsure about a lot of things. - In the app Melinda is courageous, outgoing, and has never been told no to anything she wanted in life. How does that translate into a now self-conscious girl who doesn’t believe in herself or her own capability? This is a complete 180. Fix it.
- She looked at her surroundings, a bunch of wild Pokemon running around. It made her smile and reminded her of the stories she read as a kid about how beautiful the Pokemon world is. She had a scooby doo plush with her as she walked with a sigh. The girl had to be brave, and she knew it. - Again, “she had to be brave” according to your app the very first personality trait you listed was she is courageous!. She also grew up with breeders for parents. What sort of stories did she read as a kid that gave her more of an idea of pokemon than real-life experience with her parents’ pokemon?
- Her hair blew gently in the breeze, and her blue eyes gazed ahead, making out the location of the lab. As she made her way toward it, she began to sing a song-"Woah get away get away yeah.Woah, get away yeah...What can you do..when creepy creatures coming for you..if they catch you then you know we`really through keep on running cause you're out of time. Why can;t you see there's creepy creatures comin for me I'm so scared that I can't even scream. Keep on running cause we're out of time. Oh, get away get away yeah woah get away get away yeah.." It was the song Get Away yeah from scooby doo and the legend of the vampire. - singing songs from anime and cartoons was something in your app, yes, but then in the app itself we’ve covered that it’s a strange juxtaposition to her being proper and well-mannered to randomly spout out scooby songs.
- As the girl entered the lab she stopped singing, waiting for anyone to notice her. She brushed out her windblown hair as well.She was unaware if anyone had heard her sing but also wasn't bothered. She was not ashamed of her talents, after all. She had been born theThird kid in a performing family and had been the only one to pursue singing. The girl continued singing the song for a bit longer while waiting.The girl had a whole arsenal of scooby songs she could do while waiting after all. She was the biggest fan in the family well aside from her sister who is currently missing. - As mentioned in the app review itself it’s a bit out of nowhere that they’re a random performing family with breeder parents, and the twin siblings being magicians for some reason that’s never really explained. Also, though, most importantly she has a missing sister??? Where was that in the app????? You’ll REALLY need to add this into the app if you want it to stay a detail. That’s a MAJOR part of her history that you just left out/randomly added in later for some reason??
- The girl saw a Fox with firey ears and fell in love with it big time. "Oh Hello there little fox.." The girl said calmly. She also thought in her head-*I wonder if I can take that fox with me?* She waited for the Professor to notice her calmly. - This doesn’t really have much to do with the app itself but for future reference do not godmod pokemon being in the lab for you to notice - it’s bad form and annoying for the mods who take your thread. We present you with three pokemon. You do not add random pokemon in yourself.
Please be sure to read all of my notes thoroughly and take them into consideration when editing your application. I spent a few hours reviewing this app and making notes to help you improve it in the way it needs to be to be accepted. I don’t want you to slap a “done” on it and have nothing be fixed. I’ll be honest with you, if that happens and I come back and nothing is fixed it’ll just be denied. Because it was already pended so many times before, and then you changed details about her in the starter thread, and then were told by Inari to fix the post, and then it never was so it was moved back, and you were told to then fix the app if that's how you want to play the character - but then you just said “done” and it was still in need of all of these changes. So I went through line by line with the way the app was when I reviewed it so that changes can't be made and denied they were ever needed in the first place (such as saying you didn't have spelling mistakes after being told to run spellcheck when you did in fact have college spelled as collage before you fixed it) and pointed out specific things you need to change or explain or rewrite, in each place that needs it, to be sure that there’s no room for confusion on your part. You’re welcome to DM me on discord if you have any questions, however, and I’ll do my best to explain what the answer may be. I will not, however, be patient or helpful with you if you’re rude or demanding and uncooperative - that’s a one way ticket to getting shut down and shut out. Period. Good luck @melindasilverwind ! PHARAOH LEAP.
