HOENN
HOENN

what remains of hoenn is reminiscent of a third world country.
[break][break]
everything runs smoothly and people lead alright lives (though hunting, farming and fishing have returned as major occupations), but corruption is everywhere. the region reeks of under the table deals. luxuries such as cars are only available to the rich. the world is in the transitional phase of surviving and living. it's up to you to create your definitions of both those words.
[break][break]
people everyday and every night dream of changing the world, fixing it, doing things. becoming the wave to make the stale oceans rise, or becoming an explosion to change the face of the ground. but in a crumbling, twisted place like hoenn, the only way to do that is to bend or bow, and it's no wonder people of all ages and sides are attracted to aqua and magma, because those are the places the allow you the shelter and the warmth to become the spark.
[break][break]
but in a place such as this, flames die out every day. will you burn against all odds, and be what changes the face of the world?

AQUA TERRITORY
AQUA TERRITORY
[attr="class","staffseperator"]
[attr="class","staffbody"]
[break][break]
aqua, like Magma, helped many areas rebuild after the great calamity. It has become loved by those of the sea and marks its influence on a lot of southern Hoenn. Life in these areas usually has to deal with a lot of fish and brawling. About 4 years ago there was a golden time for these areas, when Aqua was ruled by Mikaela Pierce, and things then reached a height that seems unattainable now.
[break][break]
People here generally like the sea or were raised by it, and either have a love/respect for Aqua or some form of hate or dislike towards Magma. Slateport, however, the case is a little different. It was pillaged and looted by Aqua so people may have a grudge against the organization. however, crime is still more lucrative, and aqua is the closest thing that's the easy to join. It is, however, not uncommon for citizens of Slateport to join up with Magma (though, during the golden time, even people of Slateport had some respect for Aqua).

MAGMA TERRITORY

Magma is a different case entirely. Though markedly even more helpful than Aqua during the initial stages of confusion and loss, and with an even greater reputation to behold, Magma and all its subsequent areas have fallen under tyranny at the hands of aileen scarcelli. Residents of LAVARIDGE must join Magma after becoming 16 or risk being jailed. Many people run away from their homes or even join up with the opposition to go beyond this rule, but often the direct power and money offered by Magma is more than enough to make people bend.[break][break]
People here share some kind of fondness for nature and the earth, and either have pride regarding magma or fear and respect for it's cruelty. Though the people here might or might not like magma, they've usually been raised to despise aqua and its obnoxious sea.

NEUTRAL AREAS
NEUTRAL AREAS
[attr="class","staffseperator"]
[attr="class","staffbody"]
Fortree City is emerging as what seems to be the capital of Hoenn. It is the only place that has managed to keep extremely unbent when it comes to Aqua and Magma, and it is place where the world is the most normal. Except, you know. Tree houses.
[break][break]
Other areas which are neutral are also a little free from corruption and the worst of the damage, but they also seem less united an always have disputes among each other. Growing up here, talking about Aqua an Magma is a taboo. Joining Aqua/Magma is about as likely as it was in an older Hoenn. Generally, only those explicitly attracted to crime (or those with other reasons) will join up with Aqua and Magma at later dates. However, they will also feel a lot more swayed upon exploring other places and seeing different people. [break][break]
People from influenced areas generally take these people to be narrow-minded and very disrespectful. Generally, people here aren't all liked by those that are under the wing of either Aqua or Magma and have probably been given derogatory slurs by the groups.
