Bob Marlon (Player Dropped)
fuil
Rock 'n' Roll
Name: Bob Marlon
Nickname: None
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Occupation: Demolition man-destroying building and stuff that people need torn down.
Home region: Kanto
Starting region: Kanto
High Concept: A Gruff man with a kind heart but not great with people.
Berserk buttons: Abusive trainers, His friends, his Pokémon.
Personality: Bob is gruff and kind of rude most of the time but he means well. Anybody who can get past his rough exterior can see he has a heart of gold and is as loyalas can be. He loves pokemon and Pokémon battles though he doesn't get to Battle as much as he would like. He loves good food and to cook. He is extremely stubborn as almost nothing can change his mind once its made up.
History: Bob grew up on the streets of Gringey city after his parents threw him out at the age of 11. He spent 5 yeaers surviving by himself, that is until he met his first Pokemon. It was a Grimer that looked really hurt, it could barely hold it's self together when he found it. He felt bad for it and so looking around he saw a trashbag so he rippeded it open and dumped it's contents out before gently push/scooping it into the bag. Once it was safely it the bag he rushed it to a near by Pokémon center. This is where he learned something that caused him to become furious. The Grimer was a victim of an abusive trainer. They knew this because this wasn't the first time this Grimer was in this condition. When he asked why no one stopped him the staff told him it was because they didn't have any proof. So he asked what the mans name was and what he looked like, they told him and he excused himself. A few hours later he came back with a letter explaining how the man transferred ownership to bob a pokeball and bruised knuckles. He has taken care of Sludge ,the grimer from befor now a muk, since then plus a few other strays he's been 'gifted' by un fit trainers. Thought Pokémon aren't cheap to keep so he got a job as a demo man and as it turns out he likes breaking stuff and is really good at it.
Equipment: 6 pokeballs for his Pokémon. Duct Tape, a few 'harmless chemicals' he uses as treats for Sludg,cooking supplies, and a hammer.
Skills: Fighting-learned to defend himselfat a young age.
Cooking- had to learn to feed himself and his friends.
Demo-knows how to break things.
Description: 7'3 and very muscular. He would be handsome where it not for the very large nose that clearly shows signs of being broke dozens of times. He has a foot long shaggy red beared and shoulder length shaggy red hair. His right eye is a pale blue and his left a deep green. He wears jeans, black boots, and a dark green tshirt.

Ezra Yew
Arcanist
It's always darkest before the dawn
-BASIC INFO-
Name: Ezra Yew
Nickname: Ez
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Occupation: Pokémon Researcher (studies in the field of how Pokémon adapt/live in their respective environments)
Home Region: Johto
Starting Region (Hoenn or Kanto): Hoenn
-PERSONAL-
High Concept: An eccentric young man with a passion for research and Pokémon.
Berserk Button(s): Being called 'four-eyes', or any other glasses insult, when his work is demeaned or not acknowledged, when salt is put on his food order (after specifically asking for no salt).
Personality: Ezra is a cheery and bright young man, who always regards people with a friendly smile and conversation. Though, he has a habit of spiralling into his own topic of conversation on his latest research topics, or how Pokémon like his Noctowl adapt to different surroundings and environments. Often people know not to go near him in case he spirals back into that topic of conversation again.
As said above, Ezra has a thirst for knowledge and learning, one that takes precedence over many other things. Often he'll stay up late at nights to study, determined to further his goal towards becoming a Professor. However, it doesn't mean to say he neglects the likes of his Pokémon, where they all have a place in his heart. He could recount stories of how he met each one of them, what their likes and dislikes are, what food they enjoy and what picky eating habits they have. It's another enthusiasm that people can tolerate just that little bit more than his research topics.
Despite his friendly nature, part of him is rather reserved about his background. Not that he has any reason to keep it a secret, he just rarely brings it up and never speaks about it. Even when he's asked about it, he keeps it short and simple, not really wanting to burden anyone with a long spiel of who he was and what he did.
History: Hailing from Goldenrod City in Johto, Ezra had an interest in Pokémon from an incredibly young age. He bought any books he could get his hands on to look up Pokémon, and badgered his parents for one. Finally, when he was 10, they allowed him to capture his first Pokémon, a Hoothoot he affectionately named 'Hoots'. He didn't start travelling through Johto until he was 13, after multiple failed attempts to get far from Goldenrod left him homesick.
On his travels throughout Johto, Ezra became interested in how Pokémon reacted to their natural surroundings, and particularly, how Hoots would have reacted in certain areas and environments. From then, he began to study such findings, with Hoots being a constant companion and willing research subject. From then, he met more Pokémon, and as such, gathered more intelligence and research surrounding Pokémon he came across.
Eventually, Ezra returned home at 14, though, discovered that he wanted to go back into the world once again after finding himself so relaxed away from home. Some time when he was 15, he found himself making his way to Hoenn. He found himself exploring the Region as he did with Johto previously, and would have left, had he not heard of one Professor Birch, who was an expert in the field that Ezra wanted to study more in. He resolved to find him, to speak to him more on such matters, even to beg to be mentored by him.
Of course, the latter did not go down well, with Birch claiming he never liked teaching, and wasn't think of taking any pupils on. With some determination (and a degree of stubbornness on Ezra's part), he constantly ambushed Birch, showed him his findings, did anything he could to make him take him as a pupil, even if for a year. Birch relented, seeing as it would stop him from randomly appearing at every turn. Surprisingly, he saw some potential in the young and eager boy, and had him stay on longer than he had originally intended.
Three years on, Ezra has had many more adventures, and has travelled with Birch to several locations, furthering his knowledge and fuelling his passion even further. Some day, he hopes to become as great a Professor as Birch, possibly studying in this field further, or perhaps even finding another field to get incredibly obsessed by.

Alright good but could you elaborate more in the Personality and History sections?
Alright, a couple spelling errors in this CS but I can forgive that so long as they're sparse which, as far as I can see, they are. Two questions: 1. Does Bob have a last name? 2. Could you make all thus less scrunched together for easy reading? It hurts my eyes a bit.
Absolutely wonderful. I may actually have something more story related to discuss with you. Approved.
Cross Laurel-Elm

Cross is a pretty average looking young woman, lightly tanned skin, a smattering of freckles and curly brown hair that's normally pulled back. Only thing not average about her is her eyes, which are a surprising pale green, and her muscular build. That and the burn scars that are all over her hands and arms.
For clothes, she's always seen in a green hoodie and blue cargo pants with tons of pockets. Along with that, she has black hiking boots on her feet. In the way of accessories, she has a green striped scarf, light blue fingerless gloves and an antique Silver Wing attached to a silver chain. She got this silver wing from her father ages ago.

Mino Haruka
SpotBandit
Should be studying.
Name:
Mino Haruka
Nickname(s) :
Min, Haru, Greenthumb, Petal (only by his mother)
Gender :
Male
Age :
18
Occupation :
Florist
Home Region :
Sinnoh
Starting Region :
Kanto
--PERSONAL--
* High Concept : *
A sheepish florist that devotes all his time to caring for his plants, nature and the environment.
* Berserk Button(s) : *
Inconsiderate trainers, littering, mistreatment of nature/plants alike
* Personality : *
Ever since Mino was a young child, he'd found himself as a very quiet and reserved individual, often keeping to himself and his trusty partner, Sprout. Not only is he quiet, Mino's shy personality had also brought on a sentimentality that he occasionally expresses, and accidentally exaggerates if he's talking about various topics regarding flora. The miniature rants Mino can find himself delving into without realising it often causes his friends to simple zone out before getting pulled too deep into the passionate florist's tirades. A simple request for him to stop raving on about flowers will also stop him too, but ultimately result in a nervous rub on the neck from him and a sheepish smile from Mino.
Because of this quiet personality as mentioned above, Mino is non-confrontational and prefers to simply avoid people rather than have to interact with them. This has caused the young man to develop skittish mannerisms in the presence of other people that he doesn't know, such as gently shuffling on the spot or fidgeting with the ends of his sweater sleeves in a meek attempt to comfort himself- something that never helped his unease, and likely never will. The sole fact that he doesn't often interact with people only furthers his quiet personality; an issue the young man is aware is, but simply chooses not to force himself into uncomfortable positions to help him overcome this slight social anxiety.
However, the select few people that somehow find themselves befriending Mino will find that the florist is a very compassionate individual that offers them his undying trust, respect and support at all times. Mino goes to great lengths to help his friends when in need, and has the ability to provide constant and unwavering emotional support, often which goes unmatched by other people. His insightfulness and ability to disassociate himself to see the bigger picture when in the right circumstances often aids him in reassuring emotionally distraught friends, right before he props them up and takes them on a walk to clear out their mind. People that've come to Mino for emotional support often find a beautifully assorted bouquet at the edge of their doorstep the following morning.
* History: *
(It's quite long, I apologise in advance.)
Min was born and raised in Floaroma Town in Sinnoh. Mino has had little to no other differences than the other boys and girls he'd been raised alongside, save for the fact the young boy had never been nearly as social as most young kids were. The young Min would often find himself clinging to his mother's leg whilst watching silently in the distance as the other kids were playing with one another on a nearby hill, whilst his mother caressed his head and assured him that he was safe with her. The kids would poke Combee nests with sticks, play tag and act out pokemon battles with one another, all whilst Mino would be sitting off in the distance admiring the colourful flowers that surrounded him. He enveloped himself in their beauty, having been captivated by it. Their serenity and grace was something that Mino couldn't help but fawn over and admire. On top of this, Mino's gentle mother constantly offered Min her never-ending love and support, having always reminded the infant Min that she'd always be there for her. Given her profoundly lovely personality, Mino grew very emotionally attached to his mother and often found himself cuddling up to her instead of playing with the other kids outside. He'd show her his favourite flower patch and show her all of the amazing flowers and plants nearby, often pointing at different ones and eagerly shouting in glee the names he'd given them, with a smile on his face that was brighter than the sun itself.
Because the two of them spent so much time together, Mino's mother, who happened to be a florist in the town, took the boy under her wing in floristry. She showed him the importance of flowers, the history of flowers, the various different species of flowers- oh, there were so many flowers! It exited Min. It intrigued him. He found a quickly growing interest in plant life, and he found that he appreciated flora far more than the other kids since his mom introduced him to them. Whilst the other kids played in groups outside and imagined themselves as the undefeatable champion of the Sinnoh region, Min's mother taught the young boy how to properly care for various different plants. Not only did he learn about how to give flowers the best possible care one could offer, but she also taught him how to take care of trees, berry bushes, mosses; the list went on and on. The young Min's love for plants went unwavering, and only grew over the years, as did his expanding knowledge for flora.
Whilst his mother was unimaginably sweet and caring to her son, Mino's father was displeased with Min's progression into his early teens- a fact that he was quite vocal about. Mino's father had very traditional views, and disliked Mino's introverted personality, his love for plant-based life and the boy's hesitance to leave home, as the other kids had started doing so on their own volition . The man would often find himself telling Min to let go of the flowers and 'act like a proper boy' or to 'go out on your own', something that deeply upset Mino as he grew up. His undying appreciation for nature never left him, but left his father fuming more and more as the years went by without any sign change from Mino. His mother offered the young boy some form of protection from his father, but she couldn't stop his father from berating the young florist with harsh insults. It was a horrid prelude to Mino's more acute introverted personality. His early teens was hell on earth for he and his mother, as Min's love for flora and hesitance to go out on his own would provide a rocky foundation for his parent's marriage.
One day after having scampered out of the house following a heated argument between his two parents, Min had retreated to his trusty flower hill. That day, he'd found a runt Eevee abandoned in a small patch of flowers north of the town. The boy took in the small Eevee and named it Sprout, where he and the Eevee soon developed a special bond between one another. Given that there was a pokemart nearby, Mino bought himself a pokeball to catch Sprout with so the two would become even more inseparable than they already were. Min would take the Eevee with him to play in the lavish flowerbeds of the northern hills, before one day the exposure to the plants caused Sprout to evolve into a Leafeon- much to Min's glee.
In his early 15's after years of his parents bickering over their own marriage and more commonly, Mino's future, his father had suddenly disappeared, leaving behind no trace of himself whatsoever. He'd even gone to the extent to cut himself out and obscure himself from old family photos, whilst other photos were mysteriously missing from their respective frames. The breakup took a heavy toll on Mino's mother, whom of which had found herself growing more and more detached to Floaroma town, solely based on the fact she'd met Mino's father there and spent most of her adult life with him. The poor woman soon found herself unable to even stand to live in the town, and when Min was 16, she'd moved the both of them out and flown to Kanto. There, she started up a new florist business with her son that found itself to be very successful, where they double both as florists and plant caretakers. There to this day, Mino and his mother work in that shop, with Min often making up the beautifully designed bouquets whilst his mother focusing more on the customers and the social interaction aspects of the job.

(Apologies for the rushed art. I wasn't feeling in the mood to draw, but did so regardless because I wouldn't want to hold up the roleplay or get left behind.)
* Appearance: *
Min is a skinny young man with short proportions. He stands at just about 5'8". Despite being an avid florist, Min's often trips outside haven't made his pale skin any more tanned. Mino is always wearing some kind of clothing that's designed to protect from the cold, such as a hoodie or his trademark green turtleneck sweater, of which matches his green hair colour. He always wears dark black jeans and similarly dark sneakers. The weather rarely ever defines the clothing Min wears.
* Equipment : *
Oran berries (x10), Sitrus berries (x10), Pokeball (x6)
* Personal Items : *
> Small satchel
A satchel that Min has tucked in one of the pockets of his pants. It serves as a means of holding various berries (namely Oran berries an Sitrus berries at the moment).
> Notepad and pen
Mino is one that likes to sketch any flora that takes his eye and take notes on its physiology, structure and general notes of the plant. He also often uses his sketchbook to get a general idea of the different designs of bouquets he could whip up.
>Sprout's squeaky toy
A small flower shaped squeaky toy that Sprout has grown quite fond of after a young Min had bought it from the Pokemart. It's often used to reward Sprout in some way or entertain him.
* Skills : *
> Extended knowledge of plants
Because of his interest in plants and the fact that his mother had taught Mino seemingly everything about plants and plant life, Mino is capable of easily determine a plant's age, its health, its species, diseases a plant could possibly have, and what region it'd come from.
> Location
Min is good at internally mapping out where he is and is one that's good at knowing where he's stationed at, however he tends to rely on small abnormalities on various flora to help register landmarks in his head so he can help identify where he is. Without these, he finds locating himself slightly more tedious.
> Plant care / grass type care
Given his vast knowledge on flora, Min is capable of taking great care of plants, and is somebody who could help a dying plant recover- even if most people would've considered the plant already dead or a lost cause. These practices easily translate over to grass type pokemon, because of their direct relation to nature.

Gender :
Male
Age :
18
Occupation :
Florist
Home Region :
Sinnoh
Starting Region :
Kanto
--PERSONAL--
* High Concept : *
A sheepish florist that devotes all his time to caring for his plants, nature and the environment.
* Berserk Button(s) : *
Inconsiderate trainers, littering, mistreatment of nature/plants alike
* Personality : *
Ever since Mino was a young child, he'd found himself as a very quiet and reserved individual, often keeping to himself and his trusty partner, Sprout. Not only is he quiet, Mino's shy personality had also brought on a sentimentality that he occasionally expresses, and accidentally exaggerates if he's talking about various topics regarding flora. The miniature rants Mino can find himself delving into without realising it often causes his friends to simple zone out before getting pulled too deep into the passionate florist's tirades. A simple request for him to stop raving on about flowers will also stop him too, but ultimately result in a nervous rub on the neck from him and a sheepish smile from Mino.
Because of this quiet personality as mentioned above, Mino is non-confrontational and prefers to simply avoid people rather than have to interact with them. This has caused the young man to develop skittish mannerisms in the presence of other people that he doesn't know, such as gently shuffling on the spot or fidgeting with the ends of his sweater sleeves in a meek attempt to comfort himself- something that never helped his unease, and likely never will. The sole fact that he doesn't often interact with people only furthers his quiet personality; an issue the young man is aware is, but simply chooses not to force himself into uncomfortable positions to help him overcome this slight social anxiety.
However, the select few people that somehow find themselves befriending Mino will find that the florist is a very compassionate individual that offers them his undying trust, respect and support at all times. Mino goes to great lengths to help his friends when in need, and has the ability to provide constant and unwavering emotional support, often which goes unmatched by other people. His insightfulness and ability to disassociate himself to see the bigger picture when in the right circumstances often aids him in reassuring emotionally distraught friends, right before he props them up and takes them on a walk to clear out their mind. People that've come to Mino for emotional support often find a beautifully assorted bouquet at the edge of their doorstep the following morning.
* History: *
(It's quite long, I apologise in advance.)
Min was born and raised in Floaroma Town in Sinnoh. Mino has had little to no other differences than the other boys and girls he'd been raised alongside, save for the fact the young boy had never been nearly as social as most young kids were. The young Min would often find himself clinging to his mother's leg whilst watching silently in the distance as the other kids were playing with one another on a nearby hill, whilst his mother caressed his head and assured him that he was safe with her. The kids would poke Combee nests with sticks, play tag and act out pokemon battles with one another, all whilst Mino would be sitting off in the distance admiring the colourful flowers that surrounded him. He enveloped himself in their beauty, having been captivated by it. Their serenity and grace was something that Mino couldn't help but fawn over and admire. On top of this, Mino's gentle mother constantly offered Min her never-ending love and support, having always reminded the infant Min that she'd always be there for her. Given her profoundly lovely personality, Mino grew very emotionally attached to his mother and often found himself cuddling up to her instead of playing with the other kids outside. He'd show her his favourite flower patch and show her all of the amazing flowers and plants nearby, often pointing at different ones and eagerly shouting in glee the names he'd given them, with a smile on his face that was brighter than the sun itself.
Because the two of them spent so much time together, Mino's mother, who happened to be a florist in the town, took the boy under her wing in floristry. She showed him the importance of flowers, the history of flowers, the various different species of flowers- oh, there were so many flowers! It exited Min. It intrigued him. He found a quickly growing interest in plant life, and he found that he appreciated flora far more than the other kids since his mom introduced him to them. Whilst the other kids played in groups outside and imagined themselves as the undefeatable champion of the Sinnoh region, Min's mother taught the young boy how to properly care for various different plants. Not only did he learn about how to give flowers the best possible care one could offer, but she also taught him how to take care of trees, berry bushes, mosses; the list went on and on. The young Min's love for plants went unwavering, and only grew over the years, as did his expanding knowledge for flora.
Whilst his mother was unimaginably sweet and caring to her son, Mino's father was displeased with Min's progression into his early teens- a fact that he was quite vocal about. Mino's father had very traditional views, and disliked Mino's introverted personality, his love for plant-based life and the boy's hesitance to leave home, as the other kids had started doing so on their own volition . The man would often find himself telling Min to let go of the flowers and 'act like a proper boy' or to 'go out on your own', something that deeply upset Mino as he grew up.

Whimsy Larson
Charcoal_Lilly50
I am the cat that curiosity has yet to kill
-BASIC INFO-
Name: Whimsy Larson
Nickname(s): Whim
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Occupation: Trainer and a musician
Home Region: Kalos
Starting Region: Hoenn
-PERSONAL-
High Concept: An incredibly cheerful, yet mysterious, girl who shares her love of music wherever she goes, along with her smile.
Berserk Button(s): Bullies (towards people and Pokémon), anyone that tells her she won't make it in music, those who press her about her past.
Personality: Whimsy is a very enthusiastic girl who always has a smile plastered on her face. Well, so long as she in a good mood that is. But she isn't anything particularly scary when she's mad, mostly silent.... Yeah that could be rather scary since you can't tell what she's thinking. Other than that Whim is almost always found in a good mood. Humming and singing (usually to rock, but she'll mix it up) while she walks or sits, doesn't matter where she is. Being a somewhat open book helps though when she comes across people helps her get to know others a lot easier.
However, there is a secret she's hiding that has a reason to do with why she's not completely open. Might also explain her needing to look over her shoulder, and why she doesn't divulge much into her family.
History: Whimsy hated growing up in her home. She hails from a rather prestigious, obnoxiously rich, family in the Kalos region, specifically in Lumiose city. Her father is one of the big shots that work for the city council and her mom designs clothing and sells them in her store (huge hit in the city). So with parents like hers it didn't take very long before they started to push their daughter to act and appear a certain way in public (behavior was more of a 24/7 thing). They even sent her to a private school to learn.. well Arceus knows what. More than likely turn out to be more like them. But one day when she was around 11 she stumbled upon a music store that was offering all sorts of free lessons. So being a curious child at the time she wandered in not knowing what to expect. After about being in there for 10 minutes she was in love with music.
For the next six years Whimsy took and paid for more advance lessons involving both the guitar and singing. She kept going everyday after school, telling her parents that she just staying after to study. Though lessons were twice a week, Whimsy went everyday to escape her home. Then one day she gathered the courage to tell her parents that she wanted to become a musician rather than whatever plans they had made for her. Instead of being supportive, her parents became enraged. Demanding why she was wasting their money (her allowance) on such an unrealistic goal. No matter how much she tried to defend herself, Whimsy's parents just knocked her down. Poor girl was left heart broken. It was in that moment Whimsy knew she didn't want to live this type of life anymore.
So during the year leading up to her seventeenth birthday Whimsy prepared herself as a trainer by somehow convincing her parents to let her obtain her own Pokémon and at least train in the neighboring towns. Then on the night of her birthday, after everyone had gone to sleep, Whim snuck out of her house with her Pokémon and a couple of belongings. Leaving a note to her parents stating that she might be back one day, but to not hold their breath and she wasn't going to say where she'd go. Once out of her house she quickly detoured to the music shop where the owner had asked she'd stop by before heading to the airport (she had let the owner know of her plans since they were the only person she felt comfortable being herself around). There the shop owner gave her the guitar she always practiced with, along with a case. Tear-eyed Whimsy thanked them before catching a cab to the airport. With one ticket to Hoenn in her hand the girl set off.
A runaway who was not going to return to her old way of life, and she couldn't be happier.

Wombats Beware...
High Concept: To understand what makes Pokemon tick; bird-types, specifically
Berserk Button(s): Abuse or neglect of Pokemon, Uncooperative or self-centered trainers, Pervs (Brock), Being called a kid
Personality:
Sam is a bit of a loner, preferring more to watch and observe rather than be in the fray, though he has recently worked on improving his closed-off nature. Always happy about something, he seems to always have the energy to do something, a trait that has gotten him far in his chosen career path. Though a bit impatient, he is determined and willing to make some sacrifices in order to get what he wants, not a stranger to compromise.
History:
Raised by parents who had given up growth in their respective Pokemon Researcher careers in order to raise him, Sam never grew up with deep insecurities or a lack of company. That's not to say he didn't struggle. Both his parents were strong advocates of independence and hard work. By the time he was 10, his father already had him out in the field with him, helping to take notes on the electric-types he studied, constantly getting hands-on with the Pokemon being studied (leading to many tackles, bites, and stings), and clamoring through rough terrain to get to remote locations to study the Pokemon in their natural habitat. It was grueling work at times, strengthening a kid who would have otherwise willingly cut themselves off from the world around them. It was his mother who would eventually introduce him to flying-type Pokemon. Instead of having to trek through potentially hazardous terrain like deserts or tundras, his mother traveled to locations on a Spearow.
The first time Sam got to ride on the giant Pokemon captivated him. He loved watching the fields and towns pass by hundred's of feet below them. He loved the feeling of the wind in his hair and the feeling of the Pokemon's massive shoulders moving under him as they cut through the air to keep them aloft. From then on, he devoted his life to learning more about them and how they managed such an amazing feat. When he finally decided to leave home at age 12, his parents gave him a Joltik and a backpack full of supplies and sent him off on his way. After four years of field research, recording his findings, building up his reputation among other researchers, and making connections, he decided to catch a Natu. He didn't know it at the time, but catching that Natu marked the end of his relatively normal life.

Rowan Banner

I am the cat that curiosity has yet to kill
-BASIC INFO-
Name: Rowan Banner
Nickname(s): N/A
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Occupation: Artist, minor trainer
Home Region: Alola
Starting Region: Kanto
-PERSONAL-
High Concept: The nervous artist who is terrified of trying to make friends, but his true colors come out on paper.
Berserk Button(s): When someone teases Lala
Personality: Rowan is a rather shy kid who usually likes to keep to himself and his Pokémon. It's hard for him to try and talk to people due to not really enjoying talking to kids as he grew up. Though he loves his Mimikyu dearly because he can relate to her a bit on feeling like an outcast. So if anyone insults her he gains enough courage to tell them of, or at least make a remark. Art is his passion. He can just about draw anything he sees onto paper almost to a tee (still has some room for improvement). Rowan's got a tough shell to crack, but he'll get to an opening point eventually.
History: Ever since he was little Rowan felt like an outsider. Always alone to draw what he desired. But his parents loved an encouraged him to do what made him happy. Eventually he tried his hand at the island challenge once he got his first Pokémon. A Vulpix from his mom that he named Winter. As he went about his Island challenge he knew that it wasn't working out for him. One day though he decided that the battle scene just wasn't him. Though he Winter to evolve, he noticed that his Pokémon weren't really up for the challenge of trying to become champion. So he stopped 3/4ths of the way through the challenge and decided to take a new route. A traveling artist. With his parents thrilled that their son had found a passion he enjoyed and wanted to pursue they decided to let him travel abroad to Kanto. Hoping that he'll be happy with the work he creates.

-PERSONAL-
High Concept: The nervous artist who is terrified of trying to make friends, but his true colors come out on paper.
Berserk Button(s): When someone teases Lala
Personality: Rowan is a rather shy kid who usually likes to keep to himself and his Pokémon. It's hard for him to try and talk to people due to not really enjoying talking to kids as he grew up. Though he loves his Mimikyu dearly because he can relate to her a bit on feeling like an outcast. So if anyone insults her he gains enough courage to tell them of, or at least make a remark. Art is his passion. He can just about draw anything he sees onto paper almost to a tee (still has some room for improvement). Rowan's got a tough shell to crack, but he'll get to an opening point eventually.
History: Ever since he was little Rowan felt like an outsider. Always alone to draw what he desired. But his parents loved an encouraged him to do what made him happy. Eventually he tried his hand at the island challenge once he got his first Pokémon. A Vulpix from his mom that he named Winter. As he went about his Island challenge he knew that it wasn't working out for him. One day though he decided that the battle scene just wasn't him. Though he Winter to evolve, he noticed that his Pokémon weren't really up for the challenge of trying to become champion. So he stopped 3/4ths of the way through the challenge and decided to take a new route. A traveling artist. With his parents thrilled that their son had found a passion he enjoyed and wanted to pursue they decided to let him travel abroad to Kanto. Hoping that he'll be happy with the work he creates.

Cassandra Beech
Arcanist
It's always darkest before the dawn
-BASIC INFO-
Name: Cassandra Beech
Nickname: Sandy
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Occupation: Dancer
Home Region: Sinnoh
Starting Region (Hoenn or Kanto): Kanto
-PERSONAL-
High Concept: A laid back girl just enjoying the good times.
Berserk Button(s): Cancellations of any kind, people abandoning their Pokémon, when stores don't stock her favourite soda pop(they never have cherry anymore)
Personality: Sandy is as chilled out and laid back as she looks. She often takes things in her stride and tends not to worry or stress out about things in life. Though it runs the risk of her looking as if she's aloof and uncaring about many situations she finds herself in. She tends to be a calming influence around others and her Pokémon, most importantly, Melody, who had a nervous disposition as a Whismur before her eventual evolution.
Sandy has always had a natural curiosity - and by natural curiosity, a habit of nosiness. Sometimes she'll stick her nose in the wrong place, or ask one too many questions which could get her into trouble or even cause offence to other people. Her Pokémon seem to know when she should stop - she, on the other hand, never seems to quite get the hint.
The young dancer seems to want to bring some joy wherever she is out on the street. Often, she'll be dancing in a public space with Pokémon, most of the time to earn some Pokédollars, but often just for her own amusement and happiness.
History:
Sandy's childhood was somewhat busier than any other person's childhood. Though she was born and usually lived in Solaceon Town, she found herself accompanying her mother, an up-and-coming Coordinator, to many cities and competitions. Her father often worked away from home overseeing and managing construction of new buildings, meaning he wouldn't have been around to take care of her. Yet, their relationship was stronger, as the two often made contact by emailing or video chatting with one another. Sandy's bond with her mother was hardly as strong as she spent most of her time preparing for competitions than actually doing anything with her daughter. Most of the time, Sandy was left to watch the competition, or in later years, to keep herself entertained. Around a time when she was nine years old, she had sneaked out of the building, intending to make her own fun whilst her mother performed.
It was on such an occasion when she discovered an Aipom, climbing and hanging around Amity Square, generally being a nuisance. Every time they had stayed at Hearthome or travelled to the City, she always made an effort to go and find the Aipom, play with it, eventually enjoying dancing with it in the square. Having bonded with it over a short period of time, Sandy sneaked the Pokémon into a bag to bring home with her, where she managed to keep it hidden for two days before the ruckus it was causing grabbed the attention of her parents.
Her mother was fuming at Sandy smuggling a Pokémon home, especially without her permission. Her father, though disappointed at her keeping this a secret, insisted to Sandy's mother to let her keep the Aipom. Her mother agreed - though, on the condition that Sandy join a Ballet troupe she had been bugging her around that time. Sandy readily agreed, not willing to risk losing her new friend, whom she named Jitter.
Despite Sandy's skill and promise as a ballet dancer, her heart was never quite in it. Her joy was really in hip-hop, as she had much earlier discovered with her three-handed companion. The stiff and proper way of ballet was the complete opposite to her character, and she came to loathe it. However, she kept at it, if only to keep Jitter by her side, and because her mother seemed to actually give her the time of day.
At 13, the family was hit with devastating news. Sandy's father had suddenly died suddenly in Unova whilst working there, later thought to have dropped dead due to an undiagnosed heart condition. Sandy and her mother, understandably, were completely distraught over the news. Yet, the sudden death gave Sandy some food for thought - that you never knew what life was going to throw at you. So why not make the most of it? She expressed this to her mother after months of thought and hesitance, telling her she no longer wished to work towards being a better ballet dancer, but for her true love of hip-hop dancing. Her mother didn't understand it, not with the success she was so close to finding in her current vocation. An argument erupted, only ending with Sandy storming off to her room and refusing to speak to her. Her mother's intention was to see Sandy rise to success just like she did, and never seemed to value, or at least, understand Sandy's unhappiness.
On a whim, Sandy packed as much as she could, grabbed what little money she had, and left a note behind for her mother explaining her unhappiness and her departure. From then, Sandy hasn't made any contact with her mother, though, the latter has several times, and continues to do so. Part of Sandy regrets her hastiness at leaving so suddenly, but she's found her life to be more relaxed, if not at times a little more difficult, than she had when she was at home, doing what she hated. She hopes to reconcile with her mother one day, but she feels she isn't ready for such an event.
Her travels find her in Kanto, gaining two more Pokémon partners to what she calls her 'troupe'. Ever since that night she left, Sandy prefers not to worry about so many things, to care about what others think, but rather just chill, be relaxed for once in her life, and do what she loves.

Teal B. Jet
thetasfiasco
Not Drawn to Scale
Name : Teal B. Jet
Nickname(s) : Boe, TJ
Gender : Male
Age : 17
Occupation : Traveler/Part-Time Pokemon Trainer
Home Region : Sinnoh
Starting Region : Kanto
High Concept : A young drifter who trains and battles to fund his traveling addiction.
Berserk Button(s) : Any insult toward his Purugly. Other than that, it's hard to get him riled up.
Personality :
History :
Teal is a friendly face. He's comfortable in his skin, he dresses how he wants to dress and he acts how he wants to act. He's colorful, he's optimistic and he's curious.
Teal's lifestyle is nomadic and peaceful. He roams from town to town, forest to forest, trail to trail, following only his interest. If he gets lost, the only consequence is an adventure—what's the harm there? He's a free and cheerful soul, never ceasing to wave at and greet strangers he meets. Teal is like a feather; he has a tendency to flow whichever way the wind blows with little care for the consequences of not planning for the future. He has no desire to become the best there ever was, or to advance society with science and technology; Teal only wants what is right in front of him, and he's ready to work for it. Teal sets a goal every sunrise, and he's determined to reach it by sunset—all that matters for that day is the events of that day.
Making friends can be difficult with a life like Teal's. He never wants to stop moving, and it can often be too much for friends he meets along the way to keep up with him. He tries not to let it get him down when he loses a friend, but sometimes it can be hard for him to keep a constant smile on his face if he's doing it alone. It always helps to have a friend, so Teal is always on the prowl for people willing to tag along on his journey. He's shy by nature, but he's more than willing to work past that in order to introduce himself to new people.
Teal can be a handful sometimes, especially if you can beat him in a battle. He prides himself on being able to take out any opponent with his first two Pokemon—Shedinja and Purugly—because it's not often that he loses, especially against inexperienced trainers. If you beat him, he'll keep coming back until he can score himself a win. Teal has had many rivalries over the five years he's been traveling, but he has yet to come out on bottom at the end. It's not often that he refuses a rematch after winning, either—everyone deserves a chance at redemption, after all. His life revolves around battling in order to make a living, so it's understandable that he takes his skill level very seriously.
History :
A bright young boy, Teal was always told he'd be destined for greatness. They prophesied he'd be Sinnoh's next main Pokemon Professor, or be the Sinnoh Pokemon Champion. While there was no doubt he had great potential when he was young, having shown great understanding of complex subjects during his youth, ever-present was the issue that he had no desire for fame or fortune. He expressed this very often, and his family interpreted it as a juvenile phase that was sure to pass. They thought him to be determined to squander his potential on pointless endeavors, but, eventually, he got it through to his family that his desires could only capitalize on his potential. It was his potential anyway, so it was his to squander if he so chose.
Teal refused to get a Pokemon from the Professor at the beginning of his Pokemon journey, and he refused a PokeDex when it was offered. He didn't want to be tied to the Sinnoh region in any way. He took the family pet, a Glameow, and headed off to see the world at the age of twelve. He never stepped foot in a gym, instead deciding to explore Sinnoh on the road-less-traveled in order to see the world in its most natural form. He took to the mountains, the forests and the lakes, hopping between towns on the scenic routes. It took him nearly two years to get bored of Sinnoh, at which point he began battling as many trainers as he could in order to fund a ticket to whatever region was cheapest.
Boat tickets to Hoenn happened to be on sale the day Teal walked into Canalave City, so that was the next step in his journey. Once he arrived, he operated on the same concept as with his Sinnoh journey: go wherever he wants. He tested his might against a few gyms, but for nothing more than to make quick money by winning and selling the badge. He picked up a new Pokemon, which later split into two, and Glameow evolved into Purugly, which meant battling was suddenly much more profitable than before. Teal began renting hotel rooms once every few weeks when his budget allowed it, and he even ate in restaurants a couple times during his stay in the Hoenn region. He made a few notable friends in Lavaridge Town, his personal favorite town in Hoenn due to the sauna and the scenery, but he had to leave them to continue his travels to other regions. His stay in Hoenn lasted two years.
The ride from Slateport to Vermillion was expensive, but Teal knew his future Kanto adventures would be worth it.
Equipment : A single Pokeball and several cans of Repel.
Personal Items : A laptop, whatever book he's currently procrastinating on reading and a satchel to carry all of his things in.

Debate/Public Speaking

Backstory :
Nickname : Boots
Species : Purugly
Moves :
Return
Hypnosis
Bulldoze
Retaliate
Backstory :Boots was Teal's first Pokemon, and his only Pokemon for several years. Their relationship started on Teal's third birthday, when two Glameows were adopted as the Jet household's family pets. They were nicknamed Boots and Socks for the white coloration of their paws. There was a distinct, playful bond that formed between Teal and Boots, and this bond developed and grew over the course of Teal's childhood. When it came time for Teal to begin his journey across the Sinnoh region, the Jet family agreed that Teal and Boots would make an excellent team, and the partnership became official. Boots accompanied Teal throughout all of his adventures, and their friendship won them many battles. Boots evolved into Purugly shortly after Teal stepped foot into the Kanto region.
Pokemon 2
Nickname : Gross
Species : Ninjask
Moves :
Metal Claw
Dig
Roost
Toxic
Backstory :Teal never liked bugs, and certainly never intended his second Pokemon to be a Nincada, but fate played its hand and brought Gross into his life. During one of his many nights spent camping in the forests of the Hoenn region, a lone Nincada ceaselessly pestered Teal for a battle. He refused, called the Pokemon gross and moved his tent, but the Nincada followed. When Teal finally caved, the battle was intense—far more intense than he had anticipated—and he nearly saw his beloved Boots faint to a little bug. In order to avoid a late-night trip to a Pokemon Center, Teal used his only Pokeball to catch the Nincada. He nicknamed the bug appropriately, and they've been together ever since. Gross evolved later in Teal's Hoenn adventure.
Pokemon 3
Nickname : Grohst
Species : Shedinja
Moves :
Shadow Sneak
Aerial Ace
Thief
Will-O-Wisp
Ability : Wonder Guard, for those who aren't aware, is an ability exclusive to Shedinja that every Shedinja carries. Wonder Guard prevents any attack that isn't super effective from hitting Shedinja. This means that Shedinja can only be hit by dark, rock, ghost, fire and flying typed attacks. The catch is that Shedinja can only take a single hit before being put out of commission.Backstory :
Teal had no intention of breaking his One-Pokemon-Per-Region rule, but Gross clearly had other plans involving its evolution. When a Nincada evolves, it splits into two beings: a Ninjask and a Shedinja. This was unknown to Teal until one rainy night in Hoenn, after finishing a fight with a young Pokemon trainer, when his Nincada evolved. He debated over what was the best option given his unintended rule breakage, but he eventually decided that keeping the Shedinja was the right call. He nicknamed the unintentional third addition to his team Grohst, a cheeky combination of Gross and ghost.

Tae Long (Player Dropped)
Tall Bear
It’s time to stop
Name: Tae LongNicknames: TBD
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Occupation: Freelance Trainer
Home Region: Alola
Starting Region: Kanto
High Concept: Anxious boy likes his pokémon better than people.
Berzerk Button(s): Unnecessary cruelty, purposeful ignorance.
Personality:
Although he takes joy in socializing, Tae can often be difficult to talk to, he's very anxious and awkward around most people, but especially new ones. He likes to think of himself as a kind soul, he does what he can for others and tries his best to keep everyone happy. He can thrive in social environments if given the right conditions, but is also easilly exhausted by most people. He finds the most comfort in the woods, near water, and with his pokémon.
He has an affinity for traveling and seeing new places, but often finds it difficult to travel on his own, so his pace can tend to be slow going.
History:
Tae left home a few days before his eleventh birthday without much protest from his family, and hasn't looked back since. He grew up on Melemele island, where he caught his first Pokemon - Buneary, who he is particularly fond of. After deciding to take off, he explored the rest of Alola and then caught a ride on the soonest boat to anywhere else. He only made it through one or two regions after that before landing himself on Kanto, age 16, and nothing to show for it. He was poor, hungry, and homeless, so he started battling. He built his team up from one and can now say that it's something he's really proud of. Now at age 18 he's a relatively confident Trainer and fighter. Although he still can't afford a place to live, he makes due with what he can in a tent, wherever he likes best.
Equipment: an array of healing sprays, maybe 5-6 pokeballs (just in case), and two Great Balls that he won from someone and is insistent on saving for a special occasion.
Personal Items: inside his bag he has another, smaller bag, for cool rocks that he finds. He also carries with him: a water bottle, usually some flowers that he found and didn't want to leave behind, and a medium sized notebook that he likes to write and draw in.
Skills: a way with Pokemon (and an ease for making friends with them), low maintenance nature, a quick pace and a love for walking.
SLOT 1
Nickname: Lapin
Species: Buneary
Moves:
Baby-Doll Eyes
Jump Kick
Healing Wish
Defense Curl
Ability: Run Away: Run Away allows the bearer to flee a battle with a wild Pokémon without fail, even if the opposing Pokémon has used a move like Mean Look or Bind, or has an ability such as Arena Trap.
Backstory: Tae caught Lapin when he was just 11 and still very much fresh out of his home. He was scared and on his own most of the time, and found the Buneary when she was still very young as well. The two were fast friends and became very fond of each other. They are inseperable now
SLOT 2
Nickname: Stagg
Species: Santler
Moves:
Hypnosis
Zen Headbutt
Imprison
Calm Mind
Ability: Intimidate: Intimidate lower's the Attack of all opponents by one stage when the ability-bearer switches in (including the start of a battle).
If a Pokémon with Intimidate is the leading party Pokémon, wild Pokémon are 50% less likely to be lower level.
Backstory: Tae found Stagg injured one day while walking through the woods. His original plan was to help nurse the Pokemon back to health until he was either ready to be on his own again, or they found a Pokémon center. Although the Santler had other plans, once he was stable again he refused to leave Tae's side, and they've been together since.
SLOT 3
Nickname: Moore
Species: Plusle
Moves:
Charge
Discharge
Agility
Thunder
Ability: Lightning Rod:
Lightning Rod forces all single-target Electric-type moves - used by any other Pokémon on the field - to target this Pokémon, and with 100% accuracy. This includes the status move Thunder Wave. The ability is most useful in double/triple battles.
When hit by the move, it deals no damage to the ability-bearer but raises its Special Attack by one stage. Stats can be raised to a maximum of +6 stages each.
The ability is overridden by other Pokémon becoming the center of attention from the moves Follow Me or Rage Powder
Backstory: Moore came into Tae's life while he was wandering one day, and the Plusle jumped out of the bushes, attacking him. He and his Pokémon still had yet to do very much training, so none of them were very good at fighting, or very strong for that matter. And we're very far away from any Pokémon center. For fear of having either of his dear companions faint, he frantically caught the assailant. It took Moore a while to come around and actually like Tae - an occurrence the boy was not very accustomed to.
SLOT 4
Nickname: Lierre
Species: Ivysaur
Moves:
Vinewhip
Razor Leaf
Poison Powder
Growth
Ability: Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll doubles the ability-bearer's Speed during bright sunshine.

Nickname: Lapin
Species: Buneary
Moves:
Baby-Doll Eyes
Jump Kick

Ability: Run Away: Run Away allows the bearer to flee a battle with a wild Pokémon without fail, even if the opposing Pokémon has used a move like Mean Look or Bind, or has an ability such as Arena Trap.
