Fandom Not-Pokémon

Maxx

A Faded Ghost
((I'm not sure if this counts as 'Fandom' but it is an AU, so I think it does? Tell me if it doesn't))

You are not-Pokémon. No, I don't mean that you're not Pokémon. I really mean that you're not-Pokémon.

I should probably actually say what I mean.

In the world this story will take place in, humans have types, moves, abilities. They are essentially Pokémon. Except they're not. They are not-Pokémon. And, no, Pokémon do not exist in this world. Animals are just regular animals.

But what does exist, is evil. Evil teams, that is. Team Liev. An evil team who specialises in the Fire and Steel types, with plans to dominate the region.

And, in usual Pokémon - uh, I mean, not-Pokémon - fashion, it's up to a bunch of twerps to stop them because apparently the Fire-specialists that are the police are useless. Hm…

Anyway, no one knows that yet. Don't tell anyone what Team Liev have been doing! There have been a few random issues, but those are just random. Totally random. Not related to anything at all.

Unfortunately, these totally random incidents have affected this year's gym challenge. Because, yes, that exists.

In eighteen of the region's twenty-five cities and towns, there are gyms that specialize in types. Defeating at least eight of these gyms grants people access to the Fighting League, and people are allowed to begin their journeys starting age 13 - though, many do decide to wait until they're older to do so.

Usually, when setting off on these journeys, people are given 'Health Monitors', which tell the user how much HP they have left. However, one of the totally random incidents involved the truck meant to be delivering them getting hijacked. Which meant that it was impossible to give everyone their own Health Monitor. As a result, it was decided that those starting their journeys this year were to go in groups, with one Health Monitor from last year's stock per group, until more could be made. This also made it safer in general.

And that's where our characters come in. Maybe they know each other, maybe they don't, it doesn't matter. They were put in a group to go travelling. And that's it. They totally won't have many encounters with Team Liev as they explore the region. Not at all.

Lol, okay. Then, I guess, the answer to that is no, the characters aren't just humanized Pokémon.
 
Name: Camellia Harwell
Age: 16
Gender: Non-binary, intersex. they/them/xe/xir (Accepts she/her when they're trying to present feminine)
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 134 lbs

Appearance: Camellia is quite tall for their age, and shows no signs of stopping. They have tightly-curled bright red hair, which reaches their mid back, often done up in leave-in styles. They prefer to wear cool colors-- purples, greens, blues-- and they like the casual layered aesthetic, though they occasionally indulge in fanciful dresses and suits. They carry a bag of beauty products with them wherever they go, a black clutch tucked away in their black and white shoulderbag.

Type: Psychic/Dark
Ability: Telepathy - Anticipates an ally's attack and dodges it.

Moves -
Confusion, Disable, Snarl, Reflect

Base Stats
HP - 55
Attack - 50
Defense - 45
Special Attack - 135
Special Defense - 95
Speed - 120

Other
Camellia comes from a semi-famous line of psychic-types; they're the first in their line to be born dark-type and it's caused a small scandal among their family's peers. Their father is normal/psychic, which is cited as the primary cause of Camellia's aberrant typing.

Accepted! They're awesome!

(And, as usual, I feel bad for not being the first to post my characters, lol)
 
Here's my ones, finally, lol.



Name: Snowdrop Yuriko
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Height: 5'5"
Weight: 94.7lbs

Appearance: Snowdrop has pale grey eyes with light blonde hair, and rather pale skin; all a result of her ghost typing. She often wears bright pastel colors, however, contrasting this. It is not uncommon to see her 'walking' around without her shoes, as not really needing them as a result of her Levitate leads her tending to forget about them. Unless her mother does something about, Snowdrop can leave the house looking rather messy. She is also seen carrying about a tattered journal/notebook, in which she does many sketches of her friends - her ghostly ones, that is.

Type: Fairy/Ghost
Ability: Levitate - Receives full immunity to all Ground-type moves by floating in the air

Moves:
- Shadow Ball - Spectral Thief - Moonblast - Dark Pulse -

Stats
HP: 110
Attack: 45
Defense: 93
Special Attack: 117
Special Defense: 70
Speed: 75

Other: Snowdrop was dead when she was born, but was brought back by a team of excellent doctors. If it were not for this, she would have died a pure Fairy-type; she gained her Ghost type from the time she spend on the other side. As a result, she always seems to walking the line between this world and the next. This means that she can see and interact with ghosts, but also seems rather spaced out.


Name: Dyrk Wilson
Age: 13
Gender: Male
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 101.2lbs

Appearance: Dyrk has dark black hair and blue eyes. He looks pretty much like how you'd expect a thirteen year old to look. Tee shirt, jeans, hoodie. Pretty basic stuff. Except for the metal claws on his left hand, the only physical thing alluding to his Steel-typing.

Type: Steel/Poison
Ability: Heavy Metal - Doubles weight

Moves:
- Metal Claw - Poison Fang - Iron Head - Wake-up Slap -

Stats
HP: 110
Attack: 110
Defense: 85
Special Attack: 45
Special Defense: 40
Speed: 70

Other: Dyrk was adopted by his current family, after his biological parents were killed in an accident. His adoptive parents let him choose to either continue schooling or go on his journey once he turned thirteen; he chose his journey.
 
Maxx Maxx Would It be alright If I made a character who took more of a guiding role and helped the group along to the next towns and stuff? considering it's a bit weird to have a bunch of children wandering around the world fighting each other haha
 
Captain Lycanroc Captain Lycanroc
Lol, yeah, sure. That would be perfect. I was originally planning on one of my own characters being like that, before I decided the best ages and personalities for them are the ones they have now, lol.
