So...er...hi. I'm Dorano. I've been lurking around reading PPC fic for about a month now, and I finally decided to stop hiding behind the curtain.

Welcome, and have a signed copy of Fifty Shades of Urple. (No-one's ever been able to figure out who it. The paper and ink are both urple, making it impossible to even open the book without being driven insane, but maybe you'll be the first.)

((JSYK though, sp*stic is an intensely derogatory term for the mentally challenged, of a similar - but less pleasant - nature to r*tarded. Please don't do that.))
Anyway, grumpiness out of the way, welcome to the PPC! Here's your starter Pokémon:
Iiiiiiit's Rampardos!
(one of my favourite mons u so luckeh)
And here's your starting item:
Telepathy For Dummies from The Binding Of Isaac: Rebirth!
This item's... odd. It allows you to pick whether or not the move you're about to use is its normal typing or Psychic-type, and grants Psychic-type moves a 1.33x damage multiplier. While it can work, Rampardos isn't necessarily the 'mon you want to use it on, though Psychic-type!Head Smash can really put the hurt on slow but dangerous Fighting-types like Conkeldurr. -

Here are your starters (being both technically-returnbies you get FEs guaranteed):
Who's Des's Pokémon?
Iiiiiiiit's Carracosta!
And Des's starting item is:-
A Poison Ampoule Bolt from Dungeons of Dredmor!
Poison Ampoule Bolt is a pretty decent item for a sweeper like Carracosta. It functions in a similar way to King's Rock - moves that don't have a chance to Poison the enemy get a 10% chance to in addition to any other effects - which means you can spread it like nobody's business. Carracosta's access to both Solid Rock and Shell Smash means that it can do extremely well as a physical or even a mixed sweeper, and sometimes Poison can be just enough to finish the job. However, Poison Ampoule Bolt is outclassed by the Poison Bottle Bolt, which replaces not only replaces the effect with Bad Poisoning (cf. Toxic), but also has a 10% chance to Badly Poison adjacent enemy targets. Shame, really.
---
Who's Matt's Pokémon?
Iiiiiiit's Gorebyss!
And Matt's starting item is:
An Acidspitter from Dungeons of Dredmor!
Okay, now THIS syngery works better. Gorebyss is a special Shell Smash sweeper who benefits hugely from rain. The Acidspitter gives every non-contact move a 20% chance to lower the target Pokemon's Special Defence by 1 stage. When something's switching in, that means it's much easier to keep your pink fish mon alive for longer. Why aren't you using one? Do it now!

And there we go. Apologies for the tiny item pictures. -

Here's your starter Pokémon:
Iiiiiiits Magcargo!
And your starting item is:
Bustling Fungus from Risk Of Rain!
Now, Bustling Fungus is a really good item for status walls and mons like that - it heals you for 1/4 of your Health every time you use a non-damaging move. This also helps slow setup sweepers get a boost off before hurling themselves at the foe. Magcargo is very much the former, although it's not very good at being a wall. While its Defence stat is a very creditable 120, it only has an HP stat of 50 and its typing is not very good defensively. However, with a Bustling Fungus, you can recover from enemy damage while setting up Stealth Rock, spreading status with Toxic or Will-O-Wisp, boosting your already reasonable Defence with Acid Armour, and so on. Mandatory on every Bustling Fungus set, though, is Recover - which now heals a total of 75% of your health - and that allows Magcargo to tank more and more. However, you might want to ditch AA (or Rocks if you have another hazards setter) for Lava Plume to spread more status and avoid Taunt shenanigans.
Also, quite by chance, it sort of looks like an orange Yoshi! If Yoshis were slugs, anyway. =] -

Guess whose name has the same origin?
Actually, foofooman3 (my brother; he doesn't show up very often on here) and I both picked our names from our old RuneScape characters, though Iximaz is now my level 92 Hunter in World of Warcraft. (Don't look at me like that, my main's level 100! And a Priest. And she hasn't been played in months, but that's beside the point.) -

Hello, and welcome aBoard! For your newbie gift, take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti!
If you haven't yet read them, may I point you towards the Original Series and the Constitution? They're pretty much the only required reading around these parts. Another useful resource you might use is the Wiki; if you have any questions, just look here before asking.
Hope you like it here! :D -

*glomp* AND BROTHERBAND TOO!
I mean, Harry Potter is my absolute favoritest series of all time, but It's always awesome to meet another RA fan! Who's your favorite character?if you don't say Halt you're wrongFavorite book? Villain? Kings of Clonmel would have to be my favorite because it's glorious, glorious Halt backstory. But Gilan is also cool, I like Gilan. :D -

BROTHERBAAAAND
*ahem* Okay, fangirling over. Halt is actually my favorite major character, although I have been writing my own backstory for Arald and Rodney, since they're my favorite secondary characters. My favorite book would be either Icebound Land or Halt's Peril. I don't know why. I just really like those two books. And Morgarath is the king of RA villains forever and ever.
For Brotherband, my favorites are Stig and Jesper. Because Stig is funny and smashes things with his axe, and Jesper steals things. Favorite book...I can't choose. Maybe Hunters?

I'm gonna have to say Jesper is my favorite in Brotherband, though I'll have to disagree with you about Morgarath. I think that Keren was the best just because he was so unexpected. :P
And ehehe, thank you! Those aren't my only PPC stories, though; since you didn't mention Zeb, I'm gonna guess you didn't see the rest of my stuff. So... have a shameless plug? -
