The Mexican couldn't get Brock to come at him, so skipped out of the gym, and Sir Grunt started his career as the worst trainer in existence by failing in two rounds due to critical hits and failures The Mexican and Sir Grunt go south to look for Pokemon, see Rocket members. Most people from Kanto know about Rocket from the Saffron take over (common knowledge), so Sir Grunt wants to do something, but his Mudkip is injured and The Mexican has no idea what is going on et members disappear into They go to check out the museum, and notice some shady activity, and sniff out that Rockets have been doing s--- around here the only right thing to do would be to break in and find out what is going on.

They had a few unfortunate run-ins with the BBEG, but nothing they couldn't get out Cerulean city gym was nearly leveled when Halfling and Mr. Badass fought Enika's tag team.

He takes what he wants whenever he wants it, and respects no one who can't beat him in a fight. I will admit that it's somewhat jarring for such a character to carry around a stuffed animal, but I'm rather prone to allowing my characters to think for themselves, and this guy really likes his tarrasque toy The other players in my group simply considered it an eccentricity of the character and didn't think too much about it, especially because their characters were far weirder and had odder habits and traits. However, my DM started to obsess about the stuffed animal I didn't originally intend to hide the "story" behind the stuffed animal from my DM, but when he first asked me what my character's reason for it was, I got a sense that it wasn't really the mood to explain it. I just dodged the question, fully intending to explain myself later, but my DM's attitude suddenly soured and he demanded to know, saying that characters couldn't have any secrets that the DM didn't know I decided to simply refuse that idea by not telling him the reason why my character had a stuffed animal, and I had enough cheek to still ask for his "permission" for my character to have a stuffed animal. He likely would have refused if he could come up with a reason that wouldn't invalidate everyone else's characters, but without such a reason he gave me his permission. □ Anonymous 04/06/12(Thu)16:07 No.18586601 It wasnt even a really interesting "story." He just received the toy as a child, and no one ever explained that only children play with toys. It was just supposed to be a minor note of my character, a way to show that he didn't care what others thought about him and that he had different ideas of what made a man a man However, my refusal to speak about it made everyone think there was some melodramatic story behind the toy, like it was the last gift from his dying mother or a memento of a slain son. I tried to keep the toy as just something that was listed on his character sheet under "Items," but my DM just couldn't get over the fact that I was keeping a part of my characters story to myself. The DM tried to make my character's life difficult, by having villagers ridicule him for carrying around the toy and people treating him like he had the mind of a child. When he realized this didn't bother me and some good roleplaying resulted from it, he decided to change tact by trying to get rid of the toy Ps □ Anonymous 04/05/12(Thu)16:07 No.18586616 Fireballs started to damage our items. Thieves began to regularly visit us in the night. Ethereal Filchers, Raggomoffyns, moths and mold, sunlight and dirt, everything in the world that could either damage, steal on eat my character's toy was thrown at it. Of course, my character would try to protect the tarrasque, often very enthusiastically, until my character's sole defining trait was how much he cared about the toy Finally, it happened. A black dragon's acid breath. Poor reflex saves, and an overwhelming amount of damage. Half of my backpack was destroyed, and the stuffed animal wasn't the hardiest of objects My DM couldn't help but smile. We both understood how a story was crafted, and my character had a very small window in which he had a chance to explain the toy's story. When one of the other players asked him about it, he would either have to explain it, or it would just be decided that he never had a story to begin with and they toy would be eventually forgotten as just a weird quirk of my character. It was either reveal the story while it was relevant, or throw away the chance forever As much as I didn't want to tell the DM my story, I had to admit that I was trapped. It was just how the story had to go Otherwise, it would be a bad story Ps Anonymous 04/05/12(Thu)16:08 No.18586620 So, after we had killed the black dragon, the opportunity arose. A player asked me why I had cared so much about the toy I asked the group if they ever had any toys when they were children. After a brief moment, they all (except for the drow rogue) said they had I asked them if they really cared about a particular toy. Really cared about it. Took it with them everywhere Some of them had. Oddly enough, the DM chimed in, saying he remembered also having a stuffed animal he carried around with him everywhere until he was eight.

![File: 1333656355 png-(10 KB, 382x421, plushies0006.png) □ Anonymous 04/05/12(Thu)16:05 No.18586590 My character has a stuffed tarrasque No, not a real one, just a little one that he carries around with himm In all other regards, he's a tough mercenary who lacks any sense of a soft side. He takes what he wants whenever he wants it, and respects no one who can't beat him in a fight. I will admit that it's somewhat jarring for such a character to carry around a stuffed animal, but I'm rather prone to allowing my characters to think for themselves, and this guy really likes his tarrasque toy The other players in my group simply considered it an eccentricity of the character and didn't think too much about it, especially because their characters were far weirder and had odder habits and traits. However, my DM started to obsess about the stuffed animal I didn't originally intend to hide the "story" behind the stuffed animal from my DM, but when he first asked me what my character's reason for it was, I got a sense that it wasn't really the mood to explain it. I just dodged the question, fully intending to explain myself later, but my DM's attitude suddenly soured and he demanded to know, saying that characters couldn't have any secrets that the DM didn't know I decided to simply refuse that idea by not telling him the reason why my character had a stuffed animal, and I had enough cheek to still ask for his "permission" for my character to have a stuffed animal. He likely would have refused if he could come up with a reason that wouldn't invalidate everyone else's characters, but without such a reason he gave me his permission. □ Anonymous 04/06/12(Thu)16:07 No.18586601 It wasnt even a really interesting "story." He just received the toy as a child, and no one ever explained that only children play with toys. It was just supposed to be a minor note of my character, a way to show that he didn't care what others thought about him and that he had different ideas of what made a man a man However, my refusal to speak about it made everyone think there was some melodramatic story behind the toy, like it was the last gift from his dying mother or a memento of a slain son. I tried to keep the toy as just something that was listed on his character sheet under "Items," but my DM just couldn't get over the fact that I was keeping a part of my characters story to myself. The DM tried to make my character's life difficult, by having villagers ridicule him for carrying around the toy and people treating him like he had the mind of a child. When he realized this didn't bother me and some good roleplaying resulted from it, he decided to change tact by trying to get rid of the toy Ps □ Anonymous 04/05/12(Thu)16:07 No.18586616 Fireballs started to damage our items. Thieves began to regularly visit us in the night. Ethereal Filchers, Raggomoffyns, moths and mold, sunlight and dirt, everything in the world that could either damage, steal on eat my character's toy was thrown at it. Of course, my character would try to protect the tarrasque, often very enthusiastically, until my character's sole defining trait was how much he cared about the toy Finally, it happened. A black dragon's acid breath. Poor reflex saves, and an overwhelming amount of damage. Half of my backpack was destroyed, and the stuffed animal wasn't the hardiest of objects My DM couldn't help but smile. We both understood how a story was crafted, and my character had a very small window in which he had a chance to explain the toy's story. When one of the other players asked him about it, he would either have to explain it, or it would just be decided that he never had a story to begin with and they toy would be eventually forgotten as just a weird quirk of my character. It was either reveal the story while it was relevant, or throw away the chance forever As much as I didn't want to tell the DM my story, I had to admit that I was trapped. It was just how the story had to go Otherwise, it would be a bad story Ps Anonymous 04/05/12(Thu)16:08 No.18586620 So, after we had killed the black dragon, the opportunity arose. A player asked me why I had cared so much about the toy I asked the group if they ever had any toys when they were children. After a brief moment, they all (except for the drow rogue) said they had I asked them if they really cared about a particular toy. Really cared about it. Took it with them everywhere Some of them had. Oddly enough, the DM chimed in, saying he remembered also having a stuffed animal he carried around with him everywhere until he was eight. I ignored him, and continued ked them what happen at toy. There was a moment of s as the players thought about it elped them with swer.
