Swallowing Embers is a Pokemon roleplaying site with the addition of 'quirks' (inspired by BNHA/My Hero Academia). The site has a 100-word count minimum and accepts roleplayers of any level. There is a skeleton-plot for the site but we consider ourselves majorly character-driven. Arafel will be what we make of it — what you choose to cook up between your characters and other's. In Arafel, you're completely capable of living a peaceful life, getting caught up in chaos, or creating the chaos yourself. Battle your way through the gyms, the Elite Four, and claim the title of Champion! Be a scientist in the Guild, cooking up new ways to terrorize the region, or a Guild grunt who just revels in creating trouble. Stand up to and fight the Guild as a police officer! Or you could just take it easy! Be a civilian, a researcher, or a breeder on the ranches. The entire region is yours to do with what you will.

Updates
YY/MM/DD SWALLOWING EMBERS HAS JUST OPENED! Make sure to check out our Grand Opening Giveaway to claim your new member welcoming gift! If you're having a look around and have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to drop them in the cbox or on Discord! This is our opening week, so we may still have to feel a few things out. But I'm looking forward to plotting and threading with anyone brave enough to join. We have many Gym Leader/Gym Substitute positions open — if you are interested, check out this thread. And if anyone is wanting to become a PokeMod, to help with battle and wild threads, then check out this thread. We'll need some of those as well! There are also some vital Site Adoptables to check out.
Ice Quills. Emily has the ability to grow a protective armor of ice, which is accompanied by sharp, pointy quills. This armor can be complete or partial (covering her whole body or only a part of it). She can do this voluntarily but it also happens involuntarily whenever she feels threatened/fearful.
Tracker. Dane has an excellent sense of smell. Like a hound-dog, he can track a person long after their gone. He can smell a hitch/rise in someone's emotions; their fear, their hormones, their uneasiness, etc.
Empath (Touch/Projection). Roger can feel a person's emotions. From across the room, he can tell if a person is sad, uncertain, happy, etc. He is more aware of these feelings the closer to the person he is. If there's any skin-to-skin contact, he can actually feel these emotions just as strongly as the other person is experiencing them. He's learned to tune most of this awareness out, but the stronger a person is feeling something, the more effort it takes for him to ignore it. He can also project feelings, which can be (involuntarily) accompanied by images. For example, Roger could instill a feeling of calm in a rampaging Pokemon or person, and the person may catch a glimpse of Roger's ex-girlfriend calming him after a nightmare (a memory he wouldn't have intended to send, but something his brain associated with calmness).
Metal Armor - Lysander can draw forward a protective exoskeleton of metal armor. He is able to cover his entire body with the armor or choose the parts selectively (for example, just around his fist when in a fight).
Dreamwalker. Marina can enter a person's dreams and manipulate them. Any physical damage she takes in a dream is transferred to her waking body. People with strong minds or cerebral quirks are able to sense and fight her control in these dreams.
Shapeshifter. Gavyn can transform and take form of any Pokemon. This is a painful process and when he takes a Pokemon's shape he does lose some of his humanity; as in, he is governed less by logic and more by the animal instinct attributed to the Pokemon. It is harder to transform back if his instincts have kicked in to a great extreme; an example being if he's become super aggressive or defensive and is so strongly in his fight-or-flight, it will be more difficult to grasp his humanity enough to shift back. Transforming does take a lot of energy, so shifting into a Pokemon that is much larger or much smaller than himself can leave him incredibly taxed.
Blood Manipulation. Kyran can manipulate her own blood at will, namely harden it into weapons and projectiles. Since she only has so much blood to her disposal, and using too much will make her weak and light-headed, she'll default to melee weapons. But her blood is also caustic to everyone but herself, so when backed into a corner, she can be driven to be superfluous with it.
Enchanting - Phoebe has the ability to create jewelry that has an affect on its wearer. Earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces, etc. Each piece of jewelry is entirely customized and will only work on the person it was created for. Her jewelry is mostly limited to some sort of illusion — for example, she wears earrings herself that give her the appearance of having Furret-like ears and a tail — but her enchantments aren't strictly limited to appearance. She has created jewelry that has enhanced or completely cut off a person's quirks, eased pain, or changed the wearer's voice. Some things are beyond her current ability, but really, it all comes down to how much time/effort she puts in the jewelry (and hence, how much she is PAID to create it. Not willing to cough up a lot, and you'll get a cheap illusion. But fork over the cash and she will make you something believable, like her own ears/tail. There's not much she isn't willing to do for the right price.
