Residents

This page outlines all the categories of people that will appear on the islands.

Important terms:

**Totem**: Pokemon Totems are like your character’s spirit-animal to explain it bluntly. The term “totem” refers to the fact that your characters are not technically Pokemon; rather, they are people with Pokemon attributes. These people are called “gijinka” in meta-context.

**Gijinka**: A gijinka is a "humanization" of an animal/animalistic creature or inanimate object. In our group, a gijinka is defined as a human with Pokemon attributes. These can be either physical or mental, such as a Vulpix gijinka having the ears & tails of a Vulpix or a Klefki gijinka’s compulsive habit of stealing keys.

## Playable Characters

### 'Ghosts'

All dead ghosts are restricted to ghost type-totems (primary and secondary typings). Their back stories must still adhere to the rules of character creation !

### Mini-playable characters (mPcs)

 What can they do?
They can join chat events and role plays, as well as be present in several artworks including those for non-competitive events, work images as well as mine and hiking exploration. All children should be accompanied by an adult in reward-earning submissions, whether the parent(s) or other residents they may know (not NPC's). The exception is for work submissions, where teenagers (over 13years) may appear in work submissions and earn work rewards in their parent's stead.
* Island Competition: Can earn points for home island in lieu of parent in non-competitive events.
* Cirque de la lune: Children may participate in circus activities and earn tickets in lieu of parent. The parents may choose the totems they change to, or request that they be rolled as with NPC's.

 Children are allowed to have their very own pokemon.  There is no fee! So note the group with what Pokemon you'd like your child to have, with the exception of event/fossil/alola/pest pokemon which would require obtaining through other means first. There are limitations to these child pets:
\*Unlike their parents, children are only allowed one pet pokemon per child.
\*It cannot be changed for a different Pokemon, and if you throw out the old Pokemon, you cannot regain your child's pet slot. It is gone forever.
\*The Pokemon will also never evolve. It will always be its most basic evolution.
So please choose wisely!

Restrictions:
Children may not enter competitive events, earn titles or collectables.
They cannot explore the caves/hiking trails alone. Only teens may earn work produce on their own.
