Okay, so I've had this idea for Jareth since I started thinking him up as a character, and it won't be implemented immediately, but I'd like to start discussing the plot now anyway.
So, Jareth, if you guys haven't seen his profile (which you probably haven't), Jareth is an extremely smart guy who is also quite good with pokemon. He's quiet and polite, and even a little awkward sometimes in social situations.
His only experience with Team Pravus so far is a short battle he had with JJ Frost, one of the commanders (whose name he actually doesn't know). JJ left him with a note containing contact information and a croagunk, but Jareth probably won't follow up on the contact, although he will keep the note.
So, what I had in mind is for Jareth to get forced into Team Pravus. This would happen maybe after he's defeated a gym leader or three, although I'd like him to meet up with more members of Team Pravus in the meantime. Eventually, when he says outright that he doesn't want to join them, they decide that they'll have to force him to join the group. He battles someone (maybe a general or commander, but he'll be too powerful for a grunt by that time) and is defeated and knocked out. For the next couple of months, he is locked in the lab while they go through the whole pokemorph thing with him, as well as adding a behavior modification microchip (or something of the like) that can essentially change his personality in just a few moments. They can't keep it activated all the time, otherwise he'd go insane and probably kill himself or the people around him, but that's what the cozy little cell down in the lab is for.
Anyway, he'll serve Team Pravus for a while, and I'd like him to get rescued eventually, but that's a topic for another day after the first phase of the plot comes through. ^^
So! I need a few people (grunts and maybe a general) to be sent out to battle him. He'd have to win just by necessity, since otherwise he'd be dragged in as an experiment, but maybe we can arrange it so that both of us gain full experience from the battle since the outcome is pre-arranged, but the battle itself isn't (call it plot participation EXP ^^). I'd like JJ to come back and be the one to finally threaten Jareth enough to make him get slightly angry and sort of tell JJ off for being so pushy, and then I need someone (a general or above) to come defeat him in the end. These people can reappear in the plot; that's fine.
So... Any takers? Suggestions are also welcome, for any part of the plotline. ^^
