The Pokemon Odyssey is a finished play-as-Pokemon roleplay created by Supervegeta. The roleplay follows the Gold Tribe, an elite group of Pokemon who protect the country of Valkaria under the slogan of freedom and peace.
Plot
Setting
Once upon a time, in a world ruled by Pokemon, there existed a land called Valkaria. Valkaria had been for years a land with many nomadic tribes who constantly warred with each other. One day, a peace was reached, and the tribes agreed to unite all Pokemon under the slogans of freedom and peace. This nation eventually became known as the Alpha Alliance. The core of the Alpha Alliance, the Gold Tribe, is what kept the nation together. They were a group of elite Pokemon peacekeepers who protected the Alpha Alliance and made it a place of harmony and happiness.
Story
For years, the Gold Tribe protected the Alpha Alliance, until one day, a sadistic organization called the Order of Neoverse suddenly launched a brutal attack on the nation. They were relentless, in their first strike decimating the nation and destroying its citizens. The Gold Tribe lost staggering numbers, and in a little less than a year, half of the Alpha Alliance was conquered. Now with the Alpha Alliance on the verge of collapse, it was up to the Gold Tribe and what other few Pokemon that could fight to do so.
Sides
The Alpha Alliance
The Alpha Alliance is the nation of peace and prosperity. They are protected at their core by the Gold Tribe, but the Alpha Alliance itself has most of the army under its command. Pokemon who have originally began as tribes in Valkaria one day developed a peaceful coexistance with each other which led to the foundation of the Alpha Alliance. Although it has been threatened many times, the Alpha Alliance has stood strong for thousands of years, largely due to the leadership of the Generals, and the protect by the Gold Tribe.
The Three Generals of the Alpha Alliance
The Alpha Alliance is led by three main Generals, who are appointed by the Pokemon citizens. They are usually situated in the three largest cities of Eternity City, Cape City, and Gold City. The 3 Generals during the events of The Pokemon Odyssey were General Manchu, General James Jiles, and General Heteross.
The Gold Tribe
The Gold Tribe is a group of elite, highly-trained Pokemon who are and were the core of the Alpha Alliance. They are peacekeepers, the Alpha Alliance’s first and last line of defense against powerful enemies, and those who threaten the peace and freedom of the Alpha Alliance. Members of the Gold Tribe treat each other like family, often referring to each other as fellow ‘brothers’ and ‘sisters’ of the tribe. The Gold Tribe is selfless, putting the Alpha Alliance and their citizens above all else, even their own safety. The Gold Tribe has a deep sense of honor and duty, and treat people, especially other members, with respect. Gold Tribe tend to be identified by golden emblems/insignias that each member wears somewhere on their bodies, either as a necklace, a bracelet, an armband, etc.
The Leader of the Gold Tribe
The Gold Tribe is usually led by a leader, elected often by the previous leader whom he believes is most worthy. This person on many occasions is a son or daughter of the previous leader, although that is not always the case. There is also usually a second-in-command, who could take over if no other heir is chosen before death. The Reed family has led as leaders of the Gold Tribe for almost 200 years, from Kent "Kaiser" Reed during The Pokemon Odyssey to his father Wallace "The Champion" Reed before him, to all of their ancestors before that. The duty of the leader is a position of respect, both inside and outside of the Gold Tribe.
The Order of Neoverse
The Order of Neoverse is a nation of Pokemon that originally came somewhere to the north of Valkaria, the country that inhabits the Alpha Alliance. Unlike the Alpha Alliance, the Order of Neoverse is built on the principles of strength and power, and always seem to want more of both by expanding their territories and often attacking other nations when given the opportunity. Because of their dependability on strength and numbers, leadership is also gained through this method, which entails that the higher your position in the Order, the stronger you are. This works as a double-edged blade, causing much of the armies of the Order to usually be poorly trained because of unknowledgable leaders, but also commands a huge amount of morale because of their ferocity.
The Five Grand Generals and the Emperor
The Order of Neoverse is headed by the Emperor. The Emperor, by definition of the Order, is the strongest Pokemon of the nation. For much of the roleplay, the identity of the Emperor has been kept a secret. Directly under the Emperor is the 5 Grand Generals of the Order of Neoverse, who command the armies and keep them in line. They are Galleon Gamble, Lex Omega, Alex Dusklore, Adriadne, and Deoxys.
