[OOC/Not Started/Accepting/R-16] Pokemon Atlas

[Zai 26]

 

Rules & Info

Spoiler

"Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated."

"He's only mostly dead."

All NCM and RP rules apply, my word is law, etc etc. You guys are cool so this really goes without saying these days. Now about the RP.

Trying to keep it small so that hosting it takes minimal effort on my part. As far as plot and setting is concerned, I’m also keeping that relatively simple. This will be a beginning trainer/coming of age story set in Johto and eventually Kanto, approximately 8 years after the events of Gold/Silver (for those of you keeping track, that means this RP will take place concurrently with Sun and Moon). Expect it to be more adult oriented than the core series games; the cast will be teens as opposed to ten year olds and the themes and stories involved will likewise be more mature. You can expect to explore new locales in both regions as well. As usual I’ll have a discord server set up for it as well, and will provide invites on request.

This RP will be limited acceptance. I will only be accepting a maximum of Five players on a mixed quality/first come basis. What that means is that the people who get their apps out first are the most likely to make it in, but if you rush out an app and its crappy I'll deny it or make you improve it. Really simple.

Now as for how the pokemon game mechanics are gonna be done, I'll be taking a few pages from CowCow's Mind & Soul RP. Literally. Credit for the rules I'm copying and paraphrasing goes to him and/or possibly Skaia, idk who wrote em. Don't hit. 

Stats, Leveling, Evolution, etc.

  Hide contents

Stats will be played loosely in Pokemon Atlas. Pokemon's levels, Natures, abilities, characteristics, and moves will all be listed, however HP bars, EXP bars, and the actual numbers of the statistics themselves will be abstracted in favor of a more cinematic approach. IE: battles will be written purely as action scenes with no attention paid whatsoever to how much HP a mon has left or how many stages its stats have been raised/lowered, and victory or defeat will be determined by narrative need, with me arbitrating when I feel its necessary to directly control the outcome of a battle.

 

Pokemon will level up when I feel the mon in question has gained enough experience. In other words: I tell you a mon leveled up OOC, you adjust its stats in your app accordingly, and acknowledge it IC if you feel the need.

 

Evolution will operate based on either a pokemon's level/held item/other evolution gimmick, narrative convenience, or a combination of both. Basically what this means is that pokemon will evolve when they normally would in the games unless an event in the plot that could cause them to evolve (like a tough battle with some character development involved for instance) occurs and that pokemon's player wishes for it to evolve in a more cinematic manner.

 

Wild Encounters and Battles
 

  Hide contents

Wild pokemon encounters will be conducted in one of a few ways, depending on the situation.

1. I establish the presence of a wild pokemon (or multiple) near the party in a host post, the Player Characters respond accordingly and attempt to battle or catch them if they so desire. This can be done either through a back and forth series of posts as normal, a collaborative post between all parties involved, or entirely within a single post written by one player, depending on preference.

2. A player can ask permission from me to establish the presence of a specific wild pokemon (or multiple) in their own post (if there's something in particular they would like to catch, or maybe just see/give the other players the opportunity to interact with), and then with my approval they can do so. Since this takes place in Johto and Kanto there are established precedents for what pokemon should appear where, so this should be easy to do. The player may control the wild pokemon encountered, or cede control to me as a host, whichever they prefer. Then proceed as above, writing the encounter either in a series of posts, a collab, or a single post by a single person.

Trainer battles will be conducted one of two ways:

1. I provide information on the trainer's team and battle style, and you write the battle out yourself.

2. The battle is conducted traditionally through regular posts or collabs.

Should I find it necessary that a character win or lose a battle, I will inform you of this before the battle starts. Otherwise, the outcome will be decided by narrative flow/the player(s) writing it.

Plot & Setting

  Hide contents

We're set in Johto to start. If you don't know what the johto region is, you're either really young or you're living under a pokemon-blocking rock. Either way, I suggest you read up on the region before you apply if you know nothing about it. 

 

Now for the important part.

 

Not all pokemon trainers start their journey the same way.

 

Some get a pokedex and a partner from a pokemon professor, others take their pets with them and set out, and yet more still venture alone into the wilderness with a pokeball in hand, letting fate and a steady arm decide who their lifelong ally will be. No matter how a trainer's journey begins though, all of these young people could use a little help.

 

Enter MapCo: a branch of Silph Company responsible for creating and maintaining the always-dependable Town Map and its derivatives found on nearly every trainer-centric electronic device ever made. Using global positioning technology and an ID system, MapCo's maps update in real time and tell you exactly where you are and where everything else in the region you're currently located in is. Sometimes these nifty devices can even track specific roaming pokemon, with a little software tweaking. MapCo prides itself on its dependability and its dedication to helping trainers everywhere ensure that they're never lost. Of course, this reliability only comes from a well maintained system, and occasionally the folks at MapCo decide to use this never ending maintenance process as a way to give back to the training community, and save a few pokedollars at the same time.

 

What do I mean by that? Why the Trainer Internship Program of course! Every summer, MapCo reaches out to young people across the world and offers them a simple deal: Take 50 new GPS system stakes (all of which fit conveniently into a trainer's backpack and are fully compatible with all item storage PC software) to a region to replace worn out ones, and in return MapCo provides travel fare and occasionally a pokemon, all with the intent to give new trainers an excuse to start out on an adventure. So long as all the stakes are planted within six months, there are no strings attached, and of course a Town Map (or Mapcard for you poke'gear aficionados) is provided free of charge.

 

This year marks the 6th consecutive summer of the TIP, and this season MapCo is taking you to Johto!  Whether you're going after the pokemon league, taking on johto's battle frontier, aiming for gold in the pokeathalon, or just looking to sight-see, you're excited to have been chosen for the program. You've just arrived in Cherrygrove city along with the other TIP participants, some of whom (maybe even you) will be receiving their first pokemon along with your 50 stakes (and the stake testing kit that goes with it, gotta make sure those puppies are working and put in the ground at the right spot!) from the MapCo representative at the pokemon center. After that, its off to wherever your heart desires, though it might be best to travel as a group....

Personality

Nature: Timid

Characteristic: Highly Curious

Vulpix is shy and skittish; easily frightened and non-confrontational. Conversely however, she is also inquisitive, and often wanders off to investigate something that catches her eye, only to come inevitably sprinting back when something startles her. Though she's fearful and reluctant to battle, Vulpix is a warm, gentle soul who genuinely cares for others around her, and will occasionally come out of her shell to offer help. Her closest friend among the MapCo starter pokemon is Cranidos, who is protective of her.

Nature: Gentle

Characteristic: Alert to Sounds

A mild mannered, kind-hearted flower child, Budew loves nothing more than to relax in the sun with friends. She's caring, attentive, and doesn't seem to be too enthused about battle, though she'll obey her trainer's commands nonetheless. Budew is what's known as a "Shiny" pokemon, meaning her coloration is different from a normal member of her species, and she appears to sparkle whenever released form her pokeball. She's been known to use this to get attention from others. Budew is closest with Goomy, who often drags her into whatever he is doing.

Goomy is a troublemaker. He does what he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Usually this involves getting people he likes very, very slimy. Also has trouble obeying commands, though he does enjoy battles quite a bit. Obviously a handful, but he's good natured in spite of it. Goomy is closest with Budew, who being a grass type doesn't seem to mind the hydrating slime he exudes and is forgiving of his antics.

Characteristic: Likes to fight

A warrior from another time, Cranidos is eager to prove himself in the modern era. Fearless and headstrong, but also surprisingly calm and calculating for his species, Cranidos is a naturally talented battler and a well mannered companion. Revived from a fossil, Cranidos is sometimes afflicted with flashbacks of his previous life in the ancient world, and is struggling to come to terms with the duality this presents for him.

Characteristic: Strongly Defiant

Tyrogue doesn't play nice. He's uptight, easily angered, and can be something of a bully. However, he's also eager to prove himself, and suffers from an inferiority complex as a result of being abandoned by a previous trainer. Definitely a problematic pokemon who needs some help working through his issues. Doesn't get along well with most of the other MapCo starters, especially Cranidos, who he has a rivalry with.

"Righteous! Duuuude that move was siiiick."

Name: Trey Joule

Age: 17

Gender: Male

Hometown: Sunnyshore City, Sinnoh

Description
 

  Hide contents

Trey is a fit, athletic young man who stands at about 5 feet ten inches tall. His long, messy hair is always kept in check by his "lucky" beanie, emblazoned with a reddish brown number 9 that matches the color of his eyes. Trey's usual outfit consists of a thick, but worn grey jacket over a long sleeve shirt, baggy, but equally durable trousers and a pair of sneakers. When he's in town and has the occasion to though, he's much more fond of showing off his skater style with shoes and graphic tees featuring bands or brands he's fond of. He carries most of his gear in a messenger bag, which like the rest of his wardrobe has seen a fair amount of action. For faster travel he carries with him a small skateboard, which is usually clipped to his bag when he isn't riding it. His manner of speech is... distinctive, to say the least; completely saturated with skater slang, sometimes so thoroughly that people have a bit of trouble understanding what he's saying. 

Personality/Bio

  Hide contents

At first glance, Trey appears to be the archetypal skater: fun-loving and competitive, but also very laid back and seemingly not too bright. For the most part, this description is spot-on. Trey is driven by a need to win and prove himself, be it at pokemon battles, skating, or surfing, but he's also a very graceful loser; seemingly unfazed by a defeat and congratulatory when someone gets the better of him. When he's not in his element though (read: not in a situation that has to do with pokemon battle or athletics), he can come off as ignorant, dense, or just plain stupid. Good natured, certainly, but often simply failing to pick up on social cues or not getting puns and jokes.

There's a bit more to Trey than that though. He's actually something of a private person, moreso than one might suspect; often keeping his real emotions hidden behind his breezy attitude, be they positive or negative. This means its actually hard to get close with him, and though he almost always makes a great first impression, he has comparatively few actual friends because of it. He can also be quite unforgiving of his own mistakes, working extra hard to improve his skating and battling style or going out of his way to make up for a perceived slight, sometimes to his own detriment. Trey's also a good deal more intelligent than he appears: he has an excellent memory and is able to learn and master new things very quickly. Its just his social skills that could use some work.

There's no denying that he's passionate about what he loves though, and Trey's few moments of visible intensity are always connected to pokemon battles or skating. He'll get incredibly fired up, even when he's just spectating, and Trey is always the one cheering his friends on the loudest. Each battle with his Cyndaquil is punctuated with cheers and grunts, and win or lose he and Ollie always end a match with a fist bump (even if he has to wait a bit for his pokemon to recover from fainting first). Trey's idol is his cousin and Sunnyshore City's Gym leader: Volkner, with whom he is very close and treats like an older brother. He's also on good terms with Volkner's friend Flint and is very tight with Flint's younger brother Buck, who is close in age to Trey and was his best friend when the two were young.

Ollie

  Hide contents

Nickname: Oliver (Ollie)

Species: Cyndaquil

Gender: Male

Type: Fire

Ability: Blaze

Level: 6

Description

Spoiler

 

Ollie looks quite typical for his species, though he's a bit leaner and more fit due to spending so much time running around with Trey outside of his pokeball. Unusually, he prefers to walk on his hind legs and only gets on all fours when he needs to run very fast. When ignited his flames are quite large and burn hot, indicating that he's a rather intense fellow.

Personality

Spoiler

Nature: Adamant

Characteristic: Strong Willed

Hatched by Flint roughly around the same time that his brother Buck first got his Baltoy, Ollie was given to Trey partly on a whim and partly to agitate Volkner, who certainly would have preferred that his little cousin start with an electric-type pokemon. At first Trey had trouble reigning in the positively wild young Cynadquil, but after he hit puberty the tables turned and it was Ollie who had a bit of trouble catching up to his trainer. By the time Trey was 14 though, the pair had found their equilibrium, and became inseparable.

Ollie is the Id to Trey's Ego; emphatic about what he wants and every bit as intense as the flames he shoots out from his back. He's as passionate about battles as his trainer is, and prefers to spend most of his time outside of his pokeball so he can be involved in whatever's going on. Like a lot of Fire types, Ollie can be a handful, even for Trey, who's spent nearly every day with him for years. He's gotten much better since he was an infant though, and has picked up parts of his trainer's more mellow attitude. He's also very fond of Tamato berries.

Name - Marcel Agen

Age - 16

Gender - Male

Hometown - Laverre City, Kalos

Description

Spoiler

    a pale kid with a particularly slim build, black hair, and deep blue eyes Marcel looks more like a ghost than a person. at an unusual six foot one he's at least a head taller than most of his peers, though you'd never know due to his horrendous posture bringing him closer to five foot eleven. Marcel tends to wear a pair of beat up black running shoes, grey skinny jeans and tank tops, and his old black hoodie with torn up sleeves that somehow manage to be to long and cover his hands most of the time. He carries most of his things in a black cinch bag that he lazily throws over his shoulder.

Personality/Bio

Spoiler

    Marcel grew up with his father, a prominent Kalos breeder that specialized in raising and training Dark Pokemon, and would often help his father at his daycare with caring for the eggs and newly hatched Pokemon. He quickly became infatuated with the Ghost and Dark types his father raised and would take any opportunity he could to spend time with them, often preferring the company of the Pokemon over other kids claiming they were "easier to be around". His concern for his team makes him a somewhat tricky opponent, often basing his individual Pokemon's strategies on how best to prevent them from being attacked, this does somewhat hinder him though as he relies less on attacking and more on moves that defend his Pokemon and let him wait out the clock.

    due to his working with his father he wasn't able to go on his own journey but was, for a time, content hearing about his fathers adventures. When Marcel heard about the Trainer Internship Program he immediately filled out an application and sent it in before even telling his dad, hoping it could be his chance to become a strong Dark and Ghost trainer. after a long and drawn out discussion about how long he'd be gone, what he'd be doing, and of course how often he'd call home, Marcel was allowed to go on the condition that he take one of his fathers younger purebred Pokemon, something he agreed to immediately as the purebreeds were usually off limits to him.

    Marcel is less interested in challenging gyms than the typical trainer and more wants to study various Pokemon and trainers to determine how he can become the best trainer for his team.

Despite her indifference to her trainer she recognizes him as the son of the man who raised her and will stay by his side during his journey, feeling it's her job to protect him and any Pokemon he acquires along the way.

Name: Anneliese Faraday

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Hometown: Sunnyshore City, Sinnoh

Description

Spoiler

5'3" 112 lbs

Carries her stuff around in a somewhat bulky piece of luggage.

Personality/Bio

Spoiler

Anneliese's parents have a lot of money. Supposedly they are somewhat important in Sinnoh but she doesn't actually know much about what they do. All she knows for sure is that they're often busy and that she always was well taken care of. Living in a large house atop a hill she never got out much and when she did it was usually with an entourage. Her occasional visits to other cities was usually with her parents on some sort of business trip.

Thus she doesn't know much about the outside world. She's quite naive and has trouble at times with unintentional condescending and/or arrogant speech. Without much grasp for self preservation she'll often come off as friendly but, while usually polite, she has been known to talk down on someone without realizing it.

While well spoken and not unintelligent she doesn't really know how to apply knowledge well and has trouble with simple concepts some might think nothing of. For instance she doesn't understand how cars work and believes that it's something you sit in and automatically takes you to your destination.

Anneliese has always been curious about the world and wants to see much more of it than she has been privy to before. Once she overheard about the Trainer Internship Program she knew she just had to do it. Thinking her parents wouldn't approve she sneaked out of the house and to a boat that just happened to be waiting for her. What she doesn't realize is that her parents were the ones who had the information leak as to allow the girl to go out into the world while believing it was something she decided on her own. In order to make sure their daughter got some experience in the real world before she became an adult.

Overall Anneliese is a bright, charming, and hard working, young lady who really has no idea what is going on most of the time. She's likely to go with the flow and is easily influenced by those around her.

Description

Spoiler

5'7" 137 lbs

Personality/Bio

Spoiler

Bailey is a bit of a wild child. She's brimming with confidence and has the willpower to bask in said confidence without a care in the world. She does what she wants, when she wants, where she wants, and she tends to get away with it too just by pure confidence. She's not one to hurt others intentionally but she does sometimes get lost in the moment.

She wants to live a free and exciting life and nothing's going to stop her. Believes in herself entirely and thinks that she's the best choice in any situation. Despite this she doesn't tend to come off as entirely arrogant. More that she makes her belief in herself true through a combination of skill, will, and guts.

Not one to stand aside while someone else is mistreating others she'll dive right into trouble if she feels like it.

Her parents had no idea how to handle the girl as she was always getting into fights with gangs and thugs and was herself starting to unintentionally build her own gang of followers. Something about her tended to draw people in and she wasn't one to turn down the attention.

When they found out about the Trainer Internship Program her parents thought it would be the perfect way to get her out of the city and hopefully settle down.

Bailey just thought of it as another place to make her own.

Name: Willow Meyers
Age: Fifteen
Gender: Female
Hometown: Floccesy Town, Unova
Description:

Spoiler

Height: 5' 3"
Weight: 109lbs

Personality/Bio:

Spoiler

Born and raised on a small dairy farm near Floccesy Town, Willow always wanted to travel the world. Though the Meyers rarely left town (and when they did, it was only to the neighboring cities of Asperita and Virbank) Willow imagination soared, often wondering what it would be like to live away from the farm.

Willow can be quite trusting of others, almost too much, believing pretty much everything she hears. Growing up in such a small town full of friendly people, there wasn't much reason to do otherwise.

For as long as she can remember, Willow worked on her parents' small dairy farm. From am early age, she was taught to be hard working and diligent in the things she does. She cannot stand to see something unfinished or incomplete, and always sees her goals to the end. This usually results in an "act now, think later" mentality, she tends to not think 

Willow quickly grew tired of the farming life, and was amazed with the grand battles of the Pokemon World Tournament broadcast on television. She quickly realized that she wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer, travel the world, and maybe one day, become strong enough to compete in the PWT. Soon, she was hooked. She would have mock Pokemon battles with her friends using the Purrloins and Lillipups around the town. While these didn't always work out (the Pokemon would never listen), they were still exciting to Willow.

Word of MapCo's internship hit Unova, and Willow was immediately on board; this could be her ticket out! After applying online and a great deal of bartering and pleading with her parents, Willow was on her way to the Virbank port, bound for the region of Johto.

Personality/Bio:

Spoiler

In a world of magic and swordplay, Ran fancies herself a chivalrous knight in shining armor. While this is of course not such a world, that doesn't mean she can't still live up to that sort of dream. Concepts like law, honor, and teamwork mean a lot to her, and she'll typically strive to uphold them as best she can manage. And when she's at her best, Ran isn't exactly an easy person to stop. Sadly, she's not at her best very often.

Although her mind and spirit are absolutely willing, her body usually isn't. Plagued with a nightmarish immune system and chronic lethargy from birth, Ran - despite her absolute best efforts - generally won't stay in good health for extended periods of time. While it's rare for her to become completely bedridden, she's often inconvenienced by all manner of lesser illnesses and symptoms. Even something as trivial as her shower water being too cold can leave her sick in the long run, and as a consequence of this, Ran is incredibly particular about her hygiene and physical well-being. Luckily for her, health was something of a family speciality. Her mother worked at a Pokémon Center, and her father was a doctor more focused on human wellness than on animals. By their combined skills, Ran got to grow up about as illness-free as she could have hoped for.

But the Lake of Rage was no place for such a person, and it wasn't like her family had the funds to just up and move someplace else to start over. With six out of seven days being constant rain, the wet and humid air was perfect for insects and other bacteria, to say nothing of the rain itself being a potential source of something unpleasant for Ran. Although she persisted as best she could and tried her best to stay in good spirits about it all, she was always looking for a chance to get out of town, at least for a little while. Public transit was out of the question because of the crowds, a trip overseas was bound to end in a bedridden and hazardously seasick Ran, and without the ability to just up and move somewhere else, it seemed like a lost cause for some time.

Until MapCo announced it was about time to do some updating around the Johto Region. It took some convincing, but Ran was eventually allowed to partake in this adventure, and was entrusted with her mother's long-time companion Staryu to join her on the road. Although her body may be frail, her spirit is far from it, and she's determined to have at least seen this through to the end.

Part of this know-it-all nature is because Orion really is an incredibly intelligent pokémon, who won't hesitate to correct himself if he notices an error in his logic. Or anyone else's. Of course, being hatched and raised in a small town by the lake, Orion is at his core still a country hick, oblivious to the big-city wonders the rest of the world has to offer.

Description:

Spoiler

Height: 4'11"

Personality/Bio:

Spoiler

Although she was born in Sinnoh, Shizuka's family moved to Unova when she was young enough that she has no memories of her native Snowpoint City. Growing up and to this day, Shizuka didn't have much in the way of friends. Her awkwardness in social situations was the main culprit, making it hard for her to find common ground with others and converse with the few people with whom she could find any. Also not of aid to her social dilemma is her cold exterior, backed further by the unfortunate fact that Shizuka has trouble emoting. Not to say she's some emotionless robot - something she won't hesitate to remind people of if it comes up - but more that she has trouble expressing herself or really caring about others.

Although she was a long shot from being a popular kid because of these qualities, they're also exactly what allowed her to not mind for the most part. All she needed was her own pulse and her loving family that accepted her despite her flaws. And so, one can imagine how her ability to function in a mostly normal fashion was crippled following a rough divorce between her parents. Shizuka doesn't know why it happened, especially when her father always dodged the question, but with only one parent left, life suddenly felt a lot more lonely. Her father was too occupied with his police job, and where she was used to he and her mother working different hours, she found herself all by herself during those work hours now. And so, Shizuka withdrew further inward, hoping to reach a point where even they were people she didn't care about anymore.

She's never managed to reach that point, even with plenty of years to work toward it.

When MapCo announced they were recruiting new trainers to update the maps of the Johto Region, Shizuka was hesitant. Something as transient as new adventures would surely feel nice in the moment, but what about when it was over? The pessimistic attitude she'd developed was the main thing keeping her from going off on a new chapter in life. But when her father had given her a plane ticket to Johto? She wasn't sure what to say, especially when he made no effort to explain why he wanted her to try going on an adventure, but wasting hard-earned money like that wouldn't have sat well with Shizuka. Not long after arriving in Johto, Shizuka - lacking a pokémon of her own - was given a Vulpix, courtesy of MapCo, to help her out in her adventure. She still doesn't understand what her father thinks she'll accomplish out here, nor why he wants her to, but at least MapCo's expectations of her are easy to define.

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Description

Spoiler

5' tall, 99 pounds. Skin so pale it almost blends in with her white leggings.

Personality/Bio

Spoiler

A rather quiet, yet curious, girl. Suzy was the daughter of a couple of researchers of myths and legends. A pair who were almost obsessed with mythical and legendary Pokemon. She was never fully alone, at least one of her parents would often be at home studying something the other found on an expedition but she was often left to her own devices.

Thus she tended to wander the city on her own much of the time. A fast reader she frequently was at the library and loved to listen to stories from all the travelers that came her way. Due to her curious eyes and polite nature many trainers were happy to tell them all about her exploits and it caused her to want to do her own Pokemon adventure. She even traveled to the nearby islands a couple times despite being warned of the danger. Sometimes she wonders how she managed to explore the place without harm coming to her. Though she often chalked this up to good luck. Some might call it dumb luck. As Suzy didn't often think before heading into danger.

Despite her size she tended to be good at taking care of herself. And in fact sometimes she'd spend multiple days away from her parents without problem. And they tended to be too engrossed in their work to notice. Not that she minded. She knew they were just dedicated. And Suzy tended to see the best parts of people.

One day she fell asleep on one of her island journeys and when she woke up she was home. Only her parents were nowhere to be found. She only could find the Pokeball with her partner Pokemon inside. She asked around about her parents, even going so far as to ask several complete strangers, but no one knew what she was talking about.

That's when she found out about the TIP and, having no way to contact her parents, she left them a note and decided now was the best time to set out on her own adventure.

Biography

Spoiler

Olivia was born in Lumiose City, the heart of Kalos, and it shows with her high fashion and spoiled nature. Naturally, she was born from an extremely rich family, her mother running the Boutique Couture. She spent a lot of time with what could be considered the family pet Duvet, primarily styling the Furfrou in various styles. Her father, meanwhile, was a rather famous Pokemon Breeder that specialized in Furfrou. Both of her parents tended to be busy, so she spent most of her time alone with Duvet.

Eventually, when she reached the age of 15, Olivia decided that she wanted to be a trainer and explore the world, sharing her vision of beauty with everyone. On her 15th birthday she was given a specially bred Houndour which she called Cerbi. The two became close to each other very quickly, even if Olivia wished the pup had longer hair to style. She also received a trip to Johto to participate in the Trainer Internship Program to start her journey.

Personality

Spoiler

Olivia is what you would expect from a spoiled rich girl from Lumiose; she is very much overbearing at time, not afraid to put everyone around her in their place. She is not very accustomed to the world outside her bubble, making her a tad bit naive and oblivious at times. She had a bad tendency to expect people to do as she says, since back where she was from they usually did. While she might act high and mighty and even smugly offensive, she's not mean spirited, and usually means well. While she might act confident a lot of the time, she does get easily flustered when put on the spot.

The most important thing to Olivia is beauty, both her own and that of nature and the world. She wants to share her beauty with everyone, and wants to see more beautiful things. She is very emotionally driven, listening to her heart more than her mind. She is also very bombastic and likes to do everything with a bit of pizazz - she is very much a showman.

Lennox and Robin

Spoiler

Name: Lennox Doyle

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Hometown: Goldenrod City, Johto

Description

Spoiler

5' 8"

Personality and Bio

Spoiler

Lennox grew up as an only child in a large house by himself, only attended by family members and servants. While his parents were mostly present in his early childhood, they gradually grew distant over the years, spending less at home and more time at work. His parents’ absenteeism did not go unnoticed and by the time Lennox was 7, he was being raised mainly by his grandfather.

Lennox’s grandfather was a stabilizing presence in his life, channelling the boy’s frustration and energy into productive hobbies, eventually guiding him on the path of Pokemon training. Lennox idolized his grandfather, who was also a professional Pokemon trainer in his youth. When Lennox turned 10, his grandfather gave Lennox a young Heracross, which he named Robin after the legendary Robin Hood. As the pair grew very close, Lennox started to dream of becoming a professional trainer and even the Region Champion. To start on that path, he asked his parents to go to a Trainer School.

However, seeing their influence over their only child slip, Lennox’s parents decided to step into his life, demanding that he go to a normal high school in preparation for attendance in a prestigious business university. While Lennox obliged, his dreams of becoming a professional Pokemon trainer never died. When he got word of Map Co.’s internship program, he managed to get his parents to agree to let him travel, saying that the internship was a business one.

Lennox is a fiercely independent person as a result of growing up with few sources of guidance. However, lacking most of the wisdom of age, this desire for freedom usually manifests as impulsiveness and contrarianism, but also gives him an endless drive to achieve whatever he decides to do. Some find his energy contagious, but others may consider him a spoiled brat.

Lennox also lacks an understanding of the value of money, usually buying things based on how they look without considering how much it costs. Usually, his parents would simply foot the bill for whatever his latest purchase was, but occasionally a wild spending spree has resulted in a stern talking to.

Name: Anneliese Faraday

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Hometown: Sunnyshore City, Sinnoh

Description

5'3" 112 lbs

Carries her stuff around in a somewhat bulky piece of luggage.

Personality/Bio

  Hide contents

Anneliese's parents have a lot of money. Supposedly they are somewhat important in Sinnoh but she doesn't actually know much about what they do. All she knows for sure is that they're often busy and that she always was well taken care of. Living in a large house atop a hill she never got out much and when she did it was usually with an entourage. Her occasional visits to other cities was usually with her parents on some sort of business trip.

Thus she doesn't know much about the outside world. She's quite naive and has trouble at times with unintentional condescending and/or arrogant speech. Without much grasp for self preservation she'll often come off as friendly but, while usually polite, she has been known to talk down on someone without realizing it.

While well spoken and not unintelligent she doesn't really know how to apply knowledge well and has trouble with simple concepts some might think nothing of. For instance she doesn't understand how cars work and believes that it's something you sit in and automatically takes you to your destination.

Anneliese has always been curious about the world and wants to see much more of it than she has been privy to before. Once she overheard about the Trainer Internship Program she knew she just had to do it. Thinking her parents wouldn't approve she sneaked out of the house and to a boat that just happened to be waiting for her. What she doesn't realize is that her parents were the ones who had the information leak as to allow the girl to go out into the world while believing it was something she decided on her own. In order to make sure their daughter got some experience in the real world before she became an adult.

Overall Anneliese is a bright, charming, and hard working, young lady who really has no idea what is going on most of the time. She's likely to go with the flow and is easily influenced by those around her.

Height: 5' 3"

Personality/Bio:

  Hide contents

Born and raised on a small dairy farm near Floccesy Town, Willow always wanted to travel the world. Though the Meyers rarely left town (and when they did, it was only to the neighboring cities of Asperita and Virbank) Willow imagination soared, often wondering what it would be like to live away from the farm.

Willow can be quite trusting of others, almost too much, believing pretty much everything she hears. Growing up in such a small town full of friendly people, there wasn't much reason to do otherwise.

For as long as she can remember, Willow worked on her parents' small dairy farm. From am early age, she was taught to be hard working and diligent in the things she does. She cannot stand to see something unfinished or incomplete, and always sees her goals to the end. This usually results in an "act now, think later" mentality, she tends to not think 

Willow quickly grew tired of the farming life, and was amazed with the grand battles of the Pokemon World Tournament broadcast on television. She quickly realized that she wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer, travel the world, and maybe one day, become strong enough to compete in the PWT. Soon, she was hooked. She would have mock Pokemon battles with her friends using the Purrloins and Lillipups around the town. While these didn't always work out (the Pokemon would never listen), they were still exciting to Willow.

Word of MapCo's internship hit Unova, and Willow was immediately on board; this could be her ticket out! After applying online and a great deal of bartering and pleading with her parents, Willow was on her way to the Virbank port, bound for the region of Johto.

As the pair grew very close, Lennox started to dream of becoming a professional trainer and even the Region Champion. To start on that path, he asked his parents to go to a Trainer School.

However, seeing their influence over their only child slip, Lennox’s parents decided to step into his life, demanding that he go to a normal high school in preparation for attendance in a prestigious business university. While Lennox obliged, his dreams of becoming a professional Pokemon trainer never died. When he got word of Map Co.’s internship program, he managed to get his parents to agree to let him travel, saying that the internship was a business one.

Lennox is a fiercely independent person as a result of growing up with few sources of guidance. However, lacking most of the wisdom of age, this desire for freedom usually manifests as impulsiveness and contrarianism, but also gives him an endless drive to achieve whatever he decides to do. Some find his energy contagious, but others may consider him a spoiled brat.

Lennox also lacks an understanding of the value of money, usually buying things based on how they look without considering how much it costs. Usually, his parents would simply foot the bill for whatever his latest purchase was, but occasionally a wild spending spree has resulted in a stern talking to.

Personality/Bio:

  Reveal hidden contents

In a world of magic and swordplay, Ran fancies herself a chivalrous knight in shining armor. While this is of course not such a world, that doesn't mean she can't still live up to that sort of dream. Concepts like law, honor, and teamwork mean a lot to her, and she'll typically strive to uphold them as best she can manage. And when she's at her best, Ran isn't exactly an easy person to stop. Sadly, she's not at her best very often.

Although her mind and spirit are absolutely willing, her body usually isn't. Plagued with a nightmarish immune system and chronic lethargy from birth, Ran - despite her absolute best efforts - generally won't stay in good health for extended periods of time. While it's rare for her to become completely bedridden, she's often inconvenienced by all manner of lesser illnesses and symptoms. Even something as trivial as her shower water being too cold can leave her sick in the long run, and as a consequence of this, Ran is incredibly particular about her hygiene and physical well-being. Luckily for her, health was something of a family speciality. Her mother worked at a Pokémon Center, and her father was a doctor more focused on human wellness than on animals. By their combined skills, Ran got to grow up about as illness-free as she could have hoped for.

But the Lake of Rage was no place for such a person, and it wasn't like her family had the funds to just up and move someplace else to start over. With six out of seven days being constant rain, the wet and humid air was perfect for insects and other bacteria, to say nothing of the rain itself being a potential source of something unpleasant for Ran. Although she persisted as best she could and tried her best to stay in good spirits about it all, she was always looking for a chance to get out of town, at least for a little while. Public transit was out of the question because of the crowds, a trip overseas was bound to end in a bedridden and hazardously seasick Ran, and without the ability to just up and move somewhere else, it seemed like a lost cause for some time.

Until MapCo announced it was about time to do some updating around the Johto Region. It took some convincing, but Ran was eventually allowed to partake in this adventure, and was entrusted with her mother's long-time companion Staryu to join her on the road. Although her body may be frail, her spirit is far from it, and she's determined to have at least seen this through to the end.

Nature: Hasty

Characteristic: Somewhat stubborn

Orion is the type that thinks he knows everything, and as such that everyone should listen to what he has to say. This is very much not the case, as while most of what he says does make sense, he's generally not quite on the mark with his "facts". Part of this know-it-all nature is because Orion really is an incredibly intelligent pokémon, who won't hesitate to correct himself if he notices an error in his logic. Or anyone else's. Of course, being hatched and raised in a small town by the lake, Orion is at his core still a country hick, oblivious to the big-city wonders the rest of the world has to offer. He's not all that difficult to impress, either.

Name: Shizuka Fujimaru
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Hometown: Icirrus City, Unova

Description:

Height: 4'11"

Personality/Bio:

  Hide contents

Although she was born in Sinnoh, Shizuka's family moved to Unova when she was young enough that she has no memories of her native Snowpoint City. Growing up and to this day, Shizuka didn't have much in the way of friends. Her awkwardness in social situations was the main culprit, making it hard for her to find common ground with others and converse with the few people with whom she could find any. Also not of aid to her social dilemma is her cold exterior, backed further by the unfortunate fact that Shizuka has trouble emoting. Not to say she's some emotionless robot - something she won't hesitate to remind people of if it comes up - but more that she has trouble expressing herself or really caring about others.

Although she was a long shot from being a popular kid because of these qualities, they're also exactly what allowed her to not mind for the most part. All she needed was her own pulse and her loving family that accepted her despite her flaws. And so, one can imagine how her ability to function in a mostly normal fashion was crippled following a rough divorce between her parents. Shizuka doesn't know why it happened, especially when her father always dodged the question, but with only one parent left, life suddenly felt a lot more lonely. Her father was too occupied with his police job, and where she was used to he and her mother working different hours, she found herself all by herself during those work hours now. And so, Shizuka withdrew further inward, hoping to reach a point where even they were people she didn't care about anymore.

She's never managed to reach that point, even with plenty of years to work toward it.

When MapCo announced they were recruiting new trainers to update the maps of the Johto Region, Shizuka was hesitant. Something as transient as new adventures would surely feel nice in the moment, but what about when it was over? The pessimistic attitude she'd developed was the main thing keeping her from going off on a new chapter in life. But when her father had given her a plane ticket to Johto? She wasn't sure what to say, especially when he made no effort to explain why he wanted her to try going on an adventure, but wasting hard-earned money like that wouldn't have sat well with Shizuka. Not long after arriving in Johto, Shizuka - lacking a pokémon of her own - was given a Vulpix, courtesy of MapCo, to help her out in her adventure. She still doesn't understand what her father thinks she'll accomplish out here, nor why he wants her to, but at least MapCo's expectations of her are easy to define.

Nature: Timid

Characteristic: Highly Curious

Frost is shy and skittish; easily frightened and non-confrontational. Conversely however, she is also inquisitive, and often wanders off to investigate something that catches her eye, only to come inevitably sprinting back when something startles her. Though she's fearful and reluctant to battle, Frost is a warm, gentle soul who genuinely cares for others around her, and will occasionally come out of her shell to offer help.
