Name
Aria Galanis

Age
21

Hometown
Delphia

Region
Santoris

Occupation
Idol






Team






























  • Persona


    While Aria isn't technically a narcissist, she sure as hell could pass for one. Not that she's completely self-absorbed or anything, but she is standoffish and tends to keep to herself. She's never had the chance to really make friends or acquaintances and only interacts with her fans, whom she's incredibly kind to, or people who work for her or her father, whom she's not so nice to for the most part. Aria is stubborn as they come and anxious when it comes to new people, but she hides this behind tantrums and anger because she's embarrassed of being so anxious. She just wants to be liked, she was an idol after all, that's what she was taught.

    Her love lies with Pokemon though, and all thoughts go out the window when she sees a cute one, it's as if her anxiety up and vanishes and she can suddenly ask to pet or cuddle it. She likes to think she gets along better with the creatures than she does humans, but really she just hasn't been able to put in the effort. Now that she’s free from performing though, she’s doing her best under Elyssia to make friends and get better acquainted with the people of Santoris and Delphia Island.

Age

Hometown
Laverre City

Region
Kalos

Occupation
Pkmn Nurse






Team






























  • Persona


    Cassandra is friendly and compassionate to those she meets even if they’re strangers to her, this includes all of the Pokemon she's taken care of during the time she's helped out at the Pokemon Center. She’s very loud, talkative, can be blunt at times, and has loads of stories to tell, and once you get her going she’ll talk your ear off for hours on end, this is especially prominent if you mention something of her interest. Cassandra is hardworking, and is always on the go, she’ll be running around doing errands for others, buzzing around the city like a bee. Despite her loud boisterous personality, Cassandra takes her work at the Pokemon Center incredibly seriously, she wants the Pokemon there to feel safe and make sure they get healed up in no time, so she goes above and beyond, ensuring they all get loads of attention from her. When she wants to be Cassandra is very meticulous and organized, with a keen eye for detail.

    Cassandra’s schedule always ends up filled to the brim, but even then she will find a moment of time to pamper herself, dress herself up, even if that means sacrificing sleep to wake up early in the morning to be the most fashionable person in the entire town. Underneath that friendly, compassionate, and loud persona, she meets many of those who she's jealous of, who she envies. The ones who get to go on adventures, have stronger and cooler Pokemon. Cassandra is secretly very competitive, with a large ego, she is constantly comparing herself to others, wanting to one up them, or be like them, though she would never admit this to their face as it would bruise her ego.

Name
Gavin Itazura



Age
20



Hometown
Celadon



Region
Kanto



Occupation
Traveling Trainer/Worker













Team




























































  • Persona




    Gavin is most prominently known as a bit of a prankster. He loves to pull mostly harmless pranks. If he gets an opportunity, he’ll dump a cup of cold water on someone sleeping or put things where they aren’t supposed to be. Sometimes, however, he may take things a bit too far. This also translates mostly to his battle style, where he’ll use some of the most unconventional tactics to win.

    He’s also one to flirt often. However, his flirting attempts are some of the most laughable attempts at flirting you’ll ever see. As you can probably tell, he hasn’t had a successful love life.

    Besides being flirtatious and a bit chaotic, he’s generally laid-back. He may seem a complete creep the first time you meet him, but he’s generally pretty relaxed and willing to become friends with most people he meets. He also may seem a bit lazy, but he’s actually a pretty hard-working person behind the scenes.

    However, when someone he is close to is in danger, he can sometimes lose it. In extreme situations, he can be consumed by anger and revenge.

I got my pokémon team thought out. Tomorrow I'll make my character. I should have it finished tomorrow

NAME: Alastair Locke
AGE: 23
FACECLAIM:

Alistair-1.png
Alistair-2.png
Alistair-3.png
ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: Straight
3-5 LIKES: Body building, healthy living, and Disney Fairytale Movies, pink and wrestling
3-5 DISLIKES: Bullies, skipping meals, laziness, junk food and himself when he eats it.
3-5 FEARS: The dark, not being strong enough to help others, hurt/hungry pokémon, sugar free soda, and silence. Bad stuff always happens in the movies when it's too quiet.

PERSONALITY: Alastair may seem like a big muscular brute. He's loud and vocal enough to be, but in truth, he's very passionate about the things he cares for. He's a very friendly gentleman who would never say anything intentionally rude or upsetting. In fact he actively wants the best for others and helps others live healthy lifestyles as a fitness and health coach/instructor. He also has a very soft side, and especially loves stories that involve happily ever afters.

In his spare time, he enjoys being surrounded by nature and getting involved in all sorts of physical activities. Especially trying new things. However at the end of the day, he also enjoys sitting on the sofa with some guilty pleasure snacks to some good movies. It's fine, he was going to exercise the next morning anyways. For the most part, he's a fairly carefree guy that tries to be kind and not let things bother him. He wants to see the best in others, but will not sit idly or calmly by when someone is getting picked on.

BACKGROUND: Alistair grew up in Goldenrod City and oftentimes visited Saffron City in Kanto in his youth. He learned wrestling from a very young age and enjoyed learning it at the Saffron gym. He trained with all sorts of martial artists that visited the gym, but twice a week they had wrestling classes in which Alistair attended. He also joined his highschool wrestling team which was when he started bulking up and picked up.

His skills in wrestling were amazing because he'd get a scholarship to attend college and join the wrestling team and gain even more skill and experience. He did amazing in those four years, made many friends and great memories. Months later, he'd start his own gym in Goldenrod City. It was more of a weight lifting/exercise gym. Complete with a track field, pool. He also had plans to build a sauna and additional rooms built on, but those would take time and his gym would need to have grown and became a lot more successful first.

As far as his pokémon journey was concerned he got his first pokémon at the age of 11. An impidimp he met in Galar. His second pokémon was a koffing he met in Saffron City a year later. He had gotten a Mime Jr that same year. The next pokémon he got was on his fifteenth birthday, a Snubull. His Impidimp evolved when he was 17. He had gotten Mawile his first year of college and Mimikyu in his second. His Koffing evolved while his family was on vacation in Galar.

NAME: Zelda
AGE: 21
FACECLAIM (Anime only):1272810_kAAiU2ER.png
ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: Straight
3-5 LIKES: Camping, Cooking, Hiking, Being Prepared
3-5 DISLIKES: Crowded Places, Perfumes, Mud, Feeling Cold
3-5 FEARS: Heights, Dark enclosed spaces, Thunderstorms, Needles
PERSONALITY (1+ Para): Zelda is an adventurous spirit, constantly moving from place to place and refusing to be tied to any one place for very long. While a loner by nature, Zelda doesn't act awkward around other people, but also isn't usually the first to initiate conversation. She will jump in however if her family and/or friends are involved.
BACKGROUND (2+ Paras): Zelda grew up on the road in the Johto region, living in an RV with her parents, who were avid travelers with no desire to stop. While it was indeed frustrating to constantly move from place to place, it was also fun traveling to new places and learning new things on the way. Of course, always being on the move, Zelda was homeschooled all the way to highschool senior level by her parents. Not long after "graduating", she would meet Professor Elm and obtain her trainer license along with a rather large female Chikorita she named Ceres. Knowing the region from traveling with her parents, Zelda set off on her own, not particularly caring about the gym challenge but more interested in the adventure itself... As well as bonding with her Pokemon on the way.

Alpha Meganium - Ceres
Overgrow

    PERSONALITY

    Joachim is a cordial and kindhearted man, always trying his best to appear approachable for both Pokémon and people. One would think this is simply how he carries himself when working, proper bedside manner and such, but it extends to even his personal interactions. From healing a stranger’s Pokémon to sharing a meal with those traveling like him, Joachim is someone who could be described as genuinely good-natured. Due to his warm disposition, it’s easy to assume Joachim would have plenty of friends, but in reality he really only keeps in touch with colleagues and work associates regularly. Joachim seems to keep others at arm’s length, open with himself enough to put others at ease, but never to form lasting bonds.

    Joachim is quick to rush to the defense of others, particularly Pokémon, doing anything in his power to keep them safe. He often does this without thinking, unable to stand by when someone is in need. He’s been reckless with this on numerous occasions, the most notable consequence of this being the combination burn scar and bite mark left on his right arm from fending off a Houndoom in an attempt to protect a shiny Eevee (which is now his partner Pokémon). He hasn’t learned from this experience, and if anything, it has only strengthened his resolve.

    Joachim isn’t afraid to stand up for what he believes in, even if he isn’t the most vocal person in the world. You’ll quickly find that he’s headstrong and stubborn with his convictions, hardly wavering unless given good reason to change his mind. If he believes that someone conflicts with his goals or intent, he isn’t afraid to ignore them or even cut ties with them.

    Despite his overall positive traits, Joachim does have a few quirks about him that some may find off-putting. In the many years he’s practiced being polite and approachable, he’s gotten into the bad habit of even saying rude remarks in a sweet tone– things like backhanded compliments coming naturally to him. He also has the tendency to make morbid jokes due to his profession, this paired with his inability to read others at times usually leads to an ill-timed joke and unsettling impression of him going forward.

Name
Eva Lonalie

Age
20

Romantic Orientation
Panromantic

Hometown
Sunbreech City

Region
Santoris

Occupation
Artist / Photographer














Team






















































































































  • Persona





    Eva is, well.. Eva is many things. She is known to most people as an artist, and a great one at that. Her work has a way of turning even mundane scenes into engaging snapshots. Whether it's her photography or her drawings and sketches, her pieces seem to breathe life into the ordinary, and shed light on the extraordinary.

    People a bit closer to her may say she's an introvert, who rarely spends much time with others outside of her Pokemon companions. When it comes to conversation one rarely gets more than a few words out of her before she slips away. Yet from a distance, she can be seen chatting empahtically with her Pokemon as they relax after a day out shooting, giving the sense that she may simply prefer non-human company.

    Or, perhaps, she's an explorer, someone who is constantly out and about looking for new material, especially along the many vistas and cliffsides of Mykora. One might spot her on a distant cliffside, legs dangling over a cliff, camera in hand, with her expert eye trained on the endless horizon. She seems to belong in any natural scene, like she was meant for the world that lies beyond man.

    She has an air of confidence, of poise, of someone who proudly marches to the beat of her own drum. Among the young people of Mykora she has quite a few admirers owing to this perception, though she is more vexed by this than anything. Whether her popularity is a result of her nature or in spite of it is something that often confuses her.

    At her core, though, in the place nobody else sees, Eva is a girl plagued by anxiety. Seeming to have no true place in the world and surrounded by people who see her as so much more than she believes she is, she feels alone and desperate to prove her worth. To her, the natural world is a place beyond expectations, where she can be truly herself alongside the Pokemon who understand her most, and where she can bury her mind in recording for herself and others the beautiful world around her.

  • Persona




    June is the quiet but observant type--not one to be fooled easily. She’s good at reading people, and fairly adept at dealing with them too, though this tends to be more true in a business setting than in a personal one. In the past she was quite personable, but nowadays she leans a bit too much towards the cautious side.

    Over the years she’s developed the habit of not betraying her emotions--a poker face, so to speak, which tends to unnerve those who don’t know her well. Only with those that she truly trusts--of which there are few now--does she allow more of herself to come through.

NAME: Luxius, also goes by Luxe.PokeRP character.png

Agent Name: Lucky

AGE: 19
Gender: Female, but has presented as male in the past

Home Region: Kalos, has been to most other regions.

ROMANTIC ORIENTATION: Pansexual

3-5 LIKES:
- Sweet Drinks, such as tea or fruit beverages. Especially cold ones.

- Dancing, as well as just doing unnecesarily fancy things on boring things.

- Dressing up. Whether it's just fashion, or disguises for a job, it's always fun finding the perfect outfit for the task at hand!

- Gambling. "Not really a good thing.... IF I WAS A LOSER! I can't help always having the favorable odds, even if sometimes I have to make them favorable."

- Decieving. Whether it's a clever disguise or cheating a game of cards, the kick she gets from pulling a fast one on some grunt is unmatched.

3-5 DISLIKES:
- Crime Organizations. Stealing pokemon is revolting for her and one of her motivations to do her job.

- Debts. The feeling of owing people is something she despises and she will go out of her way to make up perceived debts she has.

- Spicy Food. "I'd like to actually enjoy my food, man."

3-5 FEARS:
- Getting trapped. There are times where she still gets anxiety when deep into an infiltration or cover. Though it partly makes her excited, it's still not an enjoyable feeling. The idea of getting caught and having her pokemon taken is terrifying.
- Being betrayed. Good thing being a spy is a one man job. Maybe it's a result of a lifetime of betraying others, even if they had it coming. She fears putting any substantial amount of trust in people, especially when it has to do with her pokemon.
Certain cute pokemon. Ex: jigglypuff. "Like, they're so creepy! Don't stare at me with your little bright eyes! It makes me shudder."

PERSONALITY:
Luxe is a social kecleon, and it's not an accident. She loves being able to form connections with the people she meets, expanding her "social web". She's really friendly and a bit of a tease, always finding some way to make things more interesting. Partly due to her gambling addiction expertise, she's known in her job for her calculated risks, even being accredited as one of her defining characteristics as a spy. She lives behind her infinite facades, which means she has a criminal case of bottled emotions. She can be numb to other people's emotions, sometimes to a fault. If you're a decent person, you've got nothing to worry about around her.

BACKGROUND:
Luxe was born the child of a notorious leader and CEO of a crime organization. Which organization is actually unknown to her, leaving the identity of both her parents a mystery. Though, she assumes her father is probably sitting in a cell in some unknown region. As for her mother, she's never really had a reason to think about her. Too young to remember either her biological parents, she had more than her fill of motherly love from her adoptive ones. Who was her adoptive family? A family full of Officer Jennys, of course! Growing up in Kalos, all she ever wanted was to inherit the role of Officer Jenny, and even get her own pokemon companion. Though, this would never come to fruition, as she would be given an opportunity for something "better". Noticing her extroverted and vibrant personality, she was picked to be part of a special program dedicated to make special agents for infiltration. Seeing this as her chance to prove her worth to her families, she joined at a very young age.

It didn't take long for her to take off as one of the best in her field, with one of her first major jobs ending in her befriending her lifelong partner. A hawlucha that was being held captive for selling, for it's rare pigmentation. After saving him, the hawlucha gained loyalty for her and refused to leave her side. Not having an alternative, he officially became her first pokemon, being promptly given the codename Darkwing. However, in off time, Luxe just calls him D.

As time went on, more pokemon with similar backgrounds would join her little crew from her infiltrations in different regions. Nowadays, she wonders what could have been if she had stayed on her path to becoming an officer. Being a spy has jaded her in a lot of ways and while she's glad she does what she does for the sake of pokemon, she can't help but wonder if she would have been happier as a simple officer. However, the sight of freeing poached pokemon that remind her of her own pokemon makes her feel that it's worth it. She just has to spice things up by doing some risky things once in a while, that's all. Currently, she's technically still undercover infiltrating Team Rocket. She was sent off to do "field work" which for her basically meant a vacation, as she would obviously not be doing any actaul work on the organizations behalf. Hearing about the Santoris Festival, she decides to head over there to do an "investigation". Investigate what? The local traditions and food of course! Oh, and also a group she had been hearing about. Some, "Team Eclipse". From what she understood, they were seemingly some small time group. The idea of stomping out a small crime organization sounded neat, surely they would have no devious plan up their sleeve. The plan was set. A festival of dancing, fun, and playing, topped off with a little crime whooping. Thus, she appears at the Santoris region for her first time.

NAME: Lyle Valentine, Levi (stage name)
AGE: 19
FACECLAIM: Drawn by hatsu0712 (Twitter/X)
C01B0F7F-D432-4C6B-8B7C-D36985C1675B.jpeg

LIKES:
  • Sweets: Aside from generally having a sweet tooth, Lyle has become slightly dependent on the sugar to keep his energy up
  • Writing: Inspired by many favourite books, Lyle aspires to publish his own someday
  • Quiet nights and early mornings: The perfect time to relax and watch the world
  • Collecting flowers: Lyle holds onto a notebook in which he presses flowers, all of them to show to his sister when he next returns home
DISLIKES:
  • Sour foods: The taste is a bit too strong for his tastebuds, although he will never show it in public
  • Hot weather: He actively avoids complaining about it, but he will always look to stay in spots away from the sun
  • Being underprepared: He even keeps a list of his inventory
FEARS: Losing his sister, Thunder, Running out of time

PERSONALITY:
Known for his infectiously bright and charming personality, Levi is popular amongst many—most particularly his audience. He is always ready to volunteer for anything, seemingly unafraid of facing potential failure, and this mindset is what makes him the ever-reliable leader of his group. Behind all this, however, is a quieter man who is content with peacefully watching the world. Unlike his spot-light loving persona, all Lyle wants is precious time with the people he cares about most. Unfortunately for him, he is aware of his circumstances, and is ready to make his own sacrifices wherever needed so others may prosper.

BACKGROUND:
Lyle Valentine was born as the first child in a family of ranchers. Because of his family’s business, he was very familiar with raising and caring for Pokémon, and had subsequently developed a very strict maintenance routine. He would have had no complaints with living a simple life on his family’s farm if not for his younger sister’s, Lily Valentine, illness. The treatment for her medical condition was expensive, and nearly forced the family into financial struggles. It was a stroke of luck, therefore, that Lyle got recruited for a boy band while running errands in town. Within a few years, Lyle, taking on the stage name of Levi, was earning a good amount of money to help fund his sister’s medical expenses.

Although his occupation constantly forced him out of his comfort zone and reduced the amount of time he could spend with his family, Lyle was willing to make those losses, especially since Lily had gotten very proud of her brother’s work. Instead, he made efforts to spend as much free time with his sister as possible, going as far as to invite his family along to the tenth Santoris Festival, where he and his group were arranged to hold a performance.

Nikos is a passionate man, and he cares deeply for those he calls friends. Ready to stand by them through the worst, Nikos places a high importance on loyalty. His passion extends beyond his friends to his ship and the water. Years at sea have taught him that half-measures are a death sentence. His whole attention is required at the helm and this has led to Nikos hyper-fixating on the task at hand, at sea or on shore. He is also a superstitious man. Nikos adheres to many of the old sailor superstitions passed down by his father. As such, he is meticulous about how he conducts himself aboard a ship.
BACKGROUND:
Nikos is a native of Santoris, having been born on the island of Athenia to Georgios and Eleni Katsaros. His family has a long sea-faring tradition, dating back to the time of the earliest settlers in Santoris. As far back as Nikos can remember, his father would bring him along as he sailed the deep blue waters. Nikos’ father took all manner of work in his ship. They moved goods between the individual islands and the mainland and fished off Athenia. However, their most profitable times were during the festival. When throngs of tourists and festival-goers needed transport to and from the mainland and between the islands, the family ship became a ferry.
Nikos last saw his father on one such trip ten years ago. While acting as a ferry, his father took one of the last groups of tourists off the islands and back to the mainland. As he was due to return, an unseasonably strong storm began to brew. Hours slipped by as Nikos and Eleni stood waiting for any sign of the ship, but nothing came. By the following day, the sky had cleared, and the waters calmed. The rest of the Athenia’s mariners and Nikos set out to search for any sign of Georgios or his ship. They made the trip the Georgios had made at least a hundred times. They found no sign of him or his ship. Word spread to the other islands and the mainland. No sign of wreckage was found, and the last group of tourists reported nothing out of the usual when they were dropped off. After a week, the ship and Georgios were declared lost.
Nikos and Eleni were devastated. For a year, Nikos was despondent hardly eating and hardly leaving his home. It was only the constant attention of Luna, then an Eevee, that roused him. Slowly he began to return to life. He began to return to the sea, helping neighbors as they went about their fishing and shipping endeavors. By the time he was sixteen, Nikos was captain of his own ship, having rebuilt and refurbished a schooner his father always meant to get around to. With his mother’s blessing, Nikos christened the ship the G. Katsaros. He’s spent the between years as his father did, providing shipping and transportation for the islands. Along the way, Nikos came into contact with a number of Pokemon that he would go on to befriend and capture. His Pokemon are trusted friends and loyal crew members, each serving a purpose aboard the G. Katsaros. As another festival season approaches, Nikos prepares for a busy time ferrying passengers to and from the events honoring Santoris’ saviors.
