Thomas Jaeger Name: Thomas Jaeger Age: 25 Profession: Coach / Ace Trainer Appearance and Personality: Thomas is a slim young man with a tone body owed to his daily training regimen. As part of his daily training, both he and his Pokemon exercise; Thomas always participates to help motivate the Pokemon. Thomas is extremely meticulous when it comes to the health and well being of his Pokemon, carefully regulating everything they eat, and ensuring they get adequate daily training and rest to maximize growth. He takes extensive notes in a daily journal, tracking everything about his Pokemon's health, from their mood to their droppings. Needless to say, he is a total Maniac about tracking data. Trust and Love is obviously what Thomas lacks, he puts all his faith in the training, not the Pokemon. While this may be obvious to many, it is completely oblivious to Thomas. In his current state of mind, the idea of Love being the missing component is laughable and as unscientific as people who claim they can bend spoons with their minds. Background: Thomas first entered the Pokemon League at age 15. He displayed a keen skill at training Pokemon, which the media latched onto. His tactical planning and meticulous training schedules caught the attention of many and soon sponsors were practically bashing down his door. Despite all the training, the tactical training, and money provided, Thomas was never able to climb higher than the top 8, even after 10 years of trying. Now, the sponsors have all dried up and no one believes anymore that he could be a Champion. Thomas can't understand why he hit this wall and cannot overcome it. Despite a decade of research, making sure his pokemon's diets were perfect with maximum vitamins combined with carefully planned out daily training should have resulted in a perfect team, yet try as he might, his team was missing something. Desperate and at the end of his rope, he sought out many of the greatest trainers in history that were still alive and asked them for advice. Most would not see him, but one former Champion took pity upon him. He invited Thomas in, and the two had a long talk over tea. The Champion told Thomas of an island that was still mostly wild and unexplored. He told Thomas to start over from scratch and search for that missing element. Lastly, he told Thomas to take a young Zubat and not return until it became a Crobat. This left Thomas a little confused, but since had had no other options, he decided to take the advice.

Aaron Prince Name: Aaron Prince Age: 17 Archetype: Aura Guardian, Chronicler, Ace trainer Starter pokemon: Glint, the nuisance of a gastly. Appearance: Aaron hides his milky white eyes behind a pair of black wayfarer sunglasses, which sit over a long crooked nose. While Aaron manages to conquer his blindness and mostly make it work for him, tending to his facial hair is still a bit difficult: The evidence of that lies in his unkempt circle beard, sideburns and disheveled hair, all of which are rather dark in colour. He enjoys lounging in the sun, and that can be seen from his tan complexion, and clothing. Aaron wears a black and white patterned shirt, with the sleeves rolled up and the buttons opened whenever suitable. His black cargo jeans are more functional though, and offer many pockets to keep things handy. To accesorise, the aura guardian has a multicoloured belt, with slots for pokéballs. Currently those sit empty however, as he's only officially caught his gastly, who he mostly just has hovering about him to spot anything he might miss. Aaron carries himself in a confident manner, and many who only just met him wouldn't know he was blind from the way he walks. Nonetheless they might get a bit of a hint from the lack of facial expressions or the fact that he doesn't necessarily look in the direction of who he's speaking with. Personality: Aaron practically radiates positivity and high hopes. And he's quick to share his outlook with just about anyone, even if people don't care to hear his notions. While surrounded by more pessimistic or quiet people, he'll simply ignore the fact that he's getting on their nerves and try to shine bright enough to turn those frowns upside down. It is around these people that Aaron shows himself at his fullest, as if to offset the negativity, and works twice as hard. His optimistic and careless nature doesn't only display itself in sharing his oppinions, Aaron has rather bad impulse control and often just does things for the sake of fun or want. This often manifests itself into a thrillseeking streak. Ever since arriving on the island, Aaron's been talking about being the first a lot. The first guy who finds such and such pokémon living on the island, the first guy who finds discovers or climbs this landmark, et cetera. Backstory: Aaron Prince was born in Eterna City, or just a bit outside of it. His parents moved there from the Kalos region when Aaron was about five years old. While the house was spacious and luxurious, it stood at the edge of the eterna forest, stood empty for ages before they moved in and Aaron wasn't known for being a particularly courageous lad. It didn't help that the boy came from the bustling Luminoise city, which was the polar opposite from the snoozy Eterna. The moving was rough on him, and before he got fully settled down Aaron had to go to school. School became the next frontier, many of his peers were more sporty types, and since Aaron was born blind that wasn't going to work for him. He was picked on and bullied, but eventually the school organised a day off with his entire class to grow some compassion. The day was spent playing games like dodgeball, hide and seek and tag... but with blindfolds. While, as usual Aaron was picked last when it came to dodgeball teams, he was the unquestioned MVP in the game. The rest of the day, Aaron gave some pointers, like to listen for the noises people made, and soon his classmates frustrations were turned into a fun challenge, though it did still remain a battle for second place more than anything else. After this day, Aaron made friends much more quickly. Before long, he had a nice little clique of friends. They had fun, played games (ones that accounted for Aaron's disabilities), told stories, had laughs and watched TV (allthough, for Aaron that was mostly listened to TV). Eventually the group camped out in the woods near Aaron's home for a night. That night, while they were telling scary stories, a group of ghost-type pokémon came and chased them back inside. Since that day, Aaron's been deahtly terrified of pokémon, and much more introverted. His newfound shut-in and loner attitude really came in handy when around the age of 10 his friends all left on their own personal pokémon journeys. He stayed at home, and read a lot and watched a lot of TV. While his parents kept urging him to go out and explore the world, Aaron saw his disability as a carte blanche to stay inside and away from pokémon. His parents tried everything, from talking to a professor, to a pokémon ranger, to getting him a specially trained Abra to help guide him on his journey. Aaron wouldn't do it. Eventually, during a conversation with a psychologist he got the advice to confront himself with his fears again, and so his parents showed him tough love and sent him out into the nearby forest to find some pokémon. Ofcourse, his family had a pokémon ranger to shadow him and make sure he didn't get himself hurt. The ramnifications of a nearby pokémon battle set fire to the forest, and Aaron's ranger had to step away for a moment to capture some water type pokémon and extinguish the fire. This left the boy alone, with nothing to go by except for the panicked screams of pokémon. His fears drove him in the opposite direction, towards the fire. When he found himself caught between two perils. In his stress, he heard a bit of whimpering, and decided that it might be best to investigate. Whimpering wasn't panicking, so they must be safe, Aaron reasoned. When he arrived, Aaron felt fire between himself and the source of the quiet fear, so he took off his jacket and beat down the nearby flames before joining the scared kid in his hiding spot. He stayed there, in a cave that was more of a ditch for a while before he heard the splashing of water and the sizzling of flames. When the pokémon ranger came to rescue him, he looked up at him, as if allready expecting him. The ranger pulled him out and brought him home, but Aaron could only worry about the kid with him. When he was home, the ranger told him that he was alone, and that there was no one there with him. This left Aaron shocked and confused but he was tired, and in bed so he fell asleep quite easily. that night, he had the weirdest dream however: It was uncharacteristically vivid and lucid and had a pokémon in it, a gastly who thanked him for freeing him from the forest fire and was happy to have made a friend. Since then, he felt his partner following him around, and both fooling about and helping out Aaron. This partnership is what eventually broke Aaron out of his isolation, and he felt more of a longing for the outside world. Eventually, he brought the gastly, which he named Void, along on several errands he ran for the professor to explore the region a bit. During his travels, Aaron quickly became much more adept at moving through the world and recognising people. As if he'd sense their vitality, their soul itself. A run-in with an aura guardian in training who explained that he was sensing auras around him. It was a rare ability, but he seemed to be proficient in it and if he chose to hone it, he'd be able to do incredible things. He joined the trainer on a mission, to resolve some territorial disputes between a number of steelix and onix on an island off the coast of Canalave city, and learned a lot about Aura in the process. The aura guardian, Riley, also taught him to better see aura's of living creatures and how they reflected on the world around him to use that as an alternative to sight. This, ofcourse only grew Aaron's desire to explore the world more than he allready did. His newfound explorative streak left his parents a lot more worried. They tried to keep the blind Aaron safe much more than they did before and subtly moved against his further explorations. Aaron noticed, and talked about it with the professor and his psychologist, who both disagreed and urged him to continue exploring. The two told his parents, but they wouldn't listen so Aaron stayed mostly at home and conceeded that he'd likely live a boring life (albeit one with a poképall). When his father was asked to come back and work for the company back in Kalos, however an oppertunity presented itself. His family went to the bustling Canalave docks, to take a boat back to Kalos. That day, Aaron went to the bathroom, and met up with the professor, who'd prepared an exploratory backpack and produced a ticket to board the boat to "X" island. He also told him he'd tell his parents once they arrived in Luminoise city what had happened and take full responsability. Preferred playstyle: Mostly exploring, I'd like some story driven stuff and a more tactical approach to battling or avoiding battles. Aaron would be up for a gym run, though it wouldn't be particularly high on his list of priorities.

Application Name: Andrew Mancini Age: 17 Profession: Rogue and Ninja Starter Pokémon: Fireball the Litten. Type Preferences: Fire, Dark, Poison, Dragon, and Ground. Appearance: Andrew stands just under six feet with dusty red hair and a lithe, toned, pale body wrapped in dark brown and black clothes. Keeping to the shadows he prefers to stay out of sight and out of mind. He has a scar on his right shoulder from he got into a fight with an older boy while scrapping together a living in Jubilife City. Fighting over spare coins in the gutter, the other boy had his Meowth scratch Andrew, and he has had the scar ever since. Background: "I want rare Pokémon, not your pathetic excuses!" Rank Up: Adept - Stealth; Novice - Acrobatics Rank Down: Intimidate, General Education, Command Starting Edges: Skill Up – Guile, Perception, Combat; Categoric Inclination – Body Starting Features: Character Background: My earliest memory? My earliest memory is me crawling around on the floor of the Celadon City Game Corner trying to collect enough game tokens to buy some food. It wasn’t uncommon for some of the young ace trainers to hand out a coin or two, but the real coinage, the real chance for a meal ticket, was the old woman who settled down in their chairs for eight hours a day barely paying attention to anything around them. That’s how I got out of that city. I snatched an old woman’s coin case and ran and ran. I nearly fell out the door I was running so fast. Eventually I sold the coins off and I bought myself a ticket to Sinnoh. There I was, a seven year old kid sailing the high seas off on my own – heh, I guess not much has changed in the last ten years. When I was twelve I was scrounging a living together in Jubilife city. There’s a surprising amount of crime there and a lot of good opportunities to lift money off people… but I wasn’t the only person looking to score. I got into a scuffle with another kid, only he had a pokemon – and I didn’t. His meowth’s claws tore right through my shirt and there was blood every. It hurt like hell and it was really scary. I had to run again, luckily they were only interested in the yen I dropped, I don’t think I could have survived another one. Here look. The young man slides his hand into his robe and undoes one of the buttons and rotates his shoulder revealing his bare shoulder. Three large claw marks still mar the supple flesh stretching down his shoulder toward his defined chest. When I was fifteen I made it all the way to Hau’oli city. Not gonna lie, not a huge fan of the climate, but that’s where I met my little buddy – so it’ll always be a special place. I found him while we were both diving in the same dumpster looking for food. He was agitated at first and so was I – we almost fought, but then something else appeared that scared us both so much we suddenly became fast friends. There was a grimer coming out of the sewer, probably looking for some of the grosser things in the alley, and it came right towards us. Well Fireball and I put our differences aside and fought like hell. And afterwards we split the leftover sandwich we were fighting over. We’ve been together ever since. Andrew scratches the head of the Litten right behind it’s left ear. Prrrrr… Litten! That’s right buddy. Personality: Clever, headstrong, and sneaky Andrew has had to squeak out an existence his entire life. He's been roaming from city to city hitting up marks, collecting enough money to keep himself going and doing the occasional odd job offered by less than respectable persons. He may be cold and aloof, but he tends to be kind to others in need because he knows how hard things can be. That said, he isn't afraid to steal from the rich and give to himself. Play-style: "I may not make a lot of money but at least I have my freedom… but I’m working on that money thing."

Aiden Cook Name: Aiden Cook Age: 23 Archetype: Traveler, Backpacker, Explorer Starter Pokemon: Rhyhorn - nicknamed Crash for his tendency to go not so much around as through terrain. Appearance: Aiden is a fit young man, recently graduated from college in Saffron City. He has curious blue eyes and a head of dark hair that won't stay down, regardless of effort. Thick eyebrows guard his eyes, and a striking nose center his face. His lips often crack into a comfortable, unassuming smile, though the more time he spends inside, the less genuine it becomes. In the last few months, he has given up his pressed shirts and fitted trousers for loose, many pocketed pants, a backpack, and hiking boots. Digging through his old belongings has turned up a couple of other treasures: a set of old, stone-colored t-shirts and rock climbing gloves were two such finds. Another, buried deep at the bottom of an old chest, was a thread necklace with an odd-looking stone attached. A girl he used to date made it for him after discovering a more substantial chunk atop a mountain they hiked together. Aiden hasn't talked to her in years. The necklace is by no means stylish, but it sits draped around his neck anyway, a reminder of simpler times. Personality: Even-keeled, Aiden is a rock in calm waters. He moves with the easy nonchalance that comes with self-assurance, and endeavors to be friendly towards everyone, though he considers very few people friends. "Less is more" is one of his driving principles, whether in regards to acquaintances, to words, or to possessions. Growing up with few people his own age has made him comfortable being on his own. He feels best when exploring the outdoors, finding a level of peace in the natural splendor. Especially fond of mountains, he is equally comfortable hiking up them with heavy gear strapped to his back and hurtling down them attached to thin, fiberglass planks. Background: Born in Pewter City, Aiden grew up an only child in the quiet, mountainous region. He did passably well in school, though no one would ever have called him an exceptional student. Most of his free time was spent outdoors, hiking in the jutting and rocky mountainscape around the city with nothing but his imagination and the occasional wild Geodude for company. The end of childhood snuck up on him. His parents pushed him to go to college, and he acquiesced, though he would have been just as happy staying in Pewter as a local mountain guide. Eventually, Aiden decided on Saffron University. It was a safe decision. With Silph Co so close, a job after school was all but guaranteed. Again, Aiden performed adequately in school, falling easily into academic life. He joined some societies, dated some girls, went to some parties, and came out on the other end with a degree. He was happy in a vague kind of way, but the only times he found real joy was when he was high above the world, either at home in Pewter City's mountains or exploring Kanto with the Mountaineering Club. Between the second and third years of school, when he was interning with a research division of Silph Co near Cerulean City and hiking above the rocky mountain tunnel every chance he got, he met Crash. There was no auspicious meeting. No daring rescue from an avalanche or three days in a cave healing a leg wound. One day, Aiden spotted a Rhyhorn mirroring his trail along a sheer ridge. Then he saw him again the next week and the next after that. He started leaving bits of trail mix out for his not so stealthy observer. A silent understanding grew out of their time together on the mountain paths. At the end of the Summer, a friend at Silph offered him a Pokeball, and the Rhyhorn came willingly. After graduation, he took a job at Silph HQ in Saffron. For the next year, he saw next to nothing of the mountains he loved, or of Crash. Wake up, put on a tie, go to HQ, sell their newest product to the buyers at PokeMart, go home, rinse, and repeat. He didn't realize how little he enjoyed his new life until a colleague returned from vacation to a sparsely inhabited, newly discovered island with stories of his time there. For the next month, Aiden couldn't get the island, or the freedom it promised, out of his head. Then he said "Screw it", left Silph Co and used a good chunk of his savings to buy a ticket to the island. He flew home to Pewter, told his parents of his plan - "Only for a month or two, promise" - grabbed Crash, and headed out. Preferred Playstyle: Exploration and adventure. Go where no man has gone before, and see things no man has seen. If there are gyms, I might not be able to help myself, but that also wasn't what I had in mind when coming up with Aiden. I would like him to join up with a few other companions and explore the wilderness. I think this is one of those characters that could do with a bit of socialization.

Maaz Hadar Name: Maaz Hadar (Sheet) Age: 31 Profession: Tracker, Hunter, Outdoorsman and Explorer with a focus on deserts, caves and eventually mountains (translating to features taken in Survivalist, Ace Trainer, Hunter) Starter Pokemon: Thuban (.jr) the Sandile Appearance and Personality: Maaz is a tall but rather thin man with golden-brown skin and a head of wiry black hair. His eyes are of a deep near-blac, colour, sitting to either side of a nose that only appears a little oversized for the hollow of his cheeks. He prefers functional and unassuming clothing adapted to his task and environment, though when he is "off-duty" he tends to mix it up with flowy and loose, even a dash of bright red or forest green. His thinness comes from a spartan approach to delights of the flesh, and that he only very sparingly indulges in anything edible but tea and water has also influenced his personality it seems. To start Maaz is very economical with his words, especially when he is on a trail of course, though it can soon be found that he enjoys a laugh as much as the next person. It just takes him a tiny bit longer to get warmed up with new acquaintances, or maybe he just takes his time examining them before fully comitting. Background (including reason for coming to Prism Island):   Maaz was born north of Mauville City on Hoenn, on the edge of that vast desert tucked away between mountains there. His family were simple folk living a simple life on a farm, trading with the city to the south or making do with their own produce. He wandered the edge of the desert often, and more than once he got lost when he went in too deep. The loneliness of standing on a dune, sand the only thing he could see far and wide, became an obsession for him that stuck around well into his adulthood. While he had gone to school closer to Mauville City he never much considered himself a very "urban" person, and soon after graduation he started picking up jobs as a desert guide. Often this led him into the ruins that the sands held, or into caves that dotted the mountains about. Maaz became very good at it. While his family had used pokemon for certain farming related tasks for the longest time Maaz didn't have a pokemon of his own. He lived next to the wild one when he was out on the dunes, but to catch and tame one didn't cross his mind until he started to guide trainers on their way to the desert ruins of hoenn. It was well into his adulthood that one of the trainers wanted to show his appreciation by gifting him a pokeball and showing him how to catch a local desert-creature, which happened to be a sandile. He named the Sandile Thuban, and he kept it on his travels a near ten years before it became too old for long journeys. While he did not battle much with his Thuban he caught a few other pokemon in his day as they were useful to him, preferring those that appeared in the areas he surveyed and which had abilities that added to his own hunting and tracking activities. His current companion is a direct descendant of Thuban, named after its parent, who was allowed to accompany him to the Island after the necessary health checks. Though while he was something of an explorer by trade after a while he felt like sticking around in Hoenn he didn't actually do much exploring anymore. He knew his desert, his caves and his mountains. Knew them too well probably. So he said goodbye to his parents and set out on a little journey of his own. First he traversed Hoenn, though he found that even in the remote corners of the region here had always been somebody there before him. Maaz wasn't really trodding any new ground, and while he thought about leaving Hoenn for another well populated region that did not seem like it would truly fix his lust for adventure. So when he found a 'wanted' sign drawing daring adventurers to the Island he was immediately intrigued. There was of course a final pang of regret when he had to give away the few pokemon that he had been travelling with, though bringing the child of his oldest companion did make up for it a little. But the sheer idea of going somewhere nobody had gone before, where his unique abilities would be needed, was too alluring not to follow through with it. Though he does not really know what to expect he was full of expectation and excitement as he stepped off onto the pier, looking for the prospecting company that would temporarily house him and then send him on his way to explore. Preferred Playstyle & Character Goals (Primary/Secondary): Exploration and Story-based / Classic Gym-crawl (Other playstyles I can think of might be Contest oriented rather than Gym-battle based, but that is not in this particular character's future)

Emira Oran Name: Emira Oran Age: 19 Class: Channeler/Sage Starter Pokemon: Confetti the Vivillon Appearance: A young woman with long snowy-white hair and pale blue eyes that appear to be entirely devoid of pupils. Emira is a very pretty woman by most standards, with a smooth, fair complexion, and softly rounded facial features that place her firmly between her teenage years and full on adulthood. She has a smallish, slightly upturned nose, set above a pair of pale pink lips. Her hair tumbles down to her mid-back, growing slightly more wavy the further down it goes, but otherwise has the appearance of being straight and silky, clearly well cared for. If she had wanted to, Emira could have probably taken up work as a model instead of a wandering trainer. She's a curvaceous woman; puberty and good genes have clearly left her in incredibly good shape, giving her a nearly perfect hourglass figure. Her neck is long and slender, leading down into a pair of narrow shoulders and somewhat thin arms and dainty hands with thin, dexterous fingers. Emira is fairly chesty, something that would be difficult to hide at the best of times -- and so she doesn't bother, instead favoring clothing that compliments her assets without drawing undo attention to her body. Emira's waist pinches inward slightly, before flaring out into a pair of wide hips and long legs with somewhat thick thighs. Emira's clothing preferences tend toward fairly conservative, comfortable, but flattering choices that hug her figure in the right places, but leave her plenty of room to move around comfortably while traveling across the island. She favors T-shirts and jeans for most climates, and padded clothing for colder temeratures. Background: Emira was the youngest of 9 children, and the only one born blind. She was born in the Sinnoh region, and raised just outside of Floaroma Town in the Sinnoh region, on a small farm where her family grew and harvested Oran berries. During her early years, her parents doted on her, sheltering her from the outside world for fear that her disability would lead to her hurting herself. They may have had a point, of course. Emira had a habit of getting into places she shouldn't and being as independent as she could be despite her blindness. As she grew older, however it became harder for her to sneak off and get into trouble. Emira had few friends, her overbearing family situation and her relative distance from Floraroma Town itself left her relatively isolated. The few friends she did have more often than not walked on eggshells around the blind preteen, and like her family, tended to stifle Emira's sense of adventure rather than fostering it. Like most children her age, Emira received her first pokemon at the age of 11; a scatterbug caught in the Oran berry fields by one of her older siblings. She spent much of her time with the pokemon, who quickly became her best friend. While she couldn't effectively battle with the pokemon, she nevertheless did manage to explore a bit more on her own with the help of her pokemon. Just having the scatterbug with her opened up her world considerably. And that was before she turned 14, and discovered that she could somehow connect with her pokemon on a mental or spiritual level, and found that she could actually see the world through the eyes of her scatterbug. Though Emira never told her parents or siblings about her new ability, she practiced with it in secret, using her scatterbug to explore the house and spy on the activities of her family. She taught herself to read using something other than braille, and memorized the interior of her house to help her become better able to get around without the help of a cane. As she became more comfortable with her newfound ability, and how it connected her to her pokemon, she eventually started to venture further from the farm. She never went too far... with only one pokemon, she didn't want to risk becoming lost should something happen to her scatterbug, but during her travels she did manage to get in some battles with wild pokemon she could find around her farm. She wanted to be able to convince her parents that she was strong enough to allow to go out into the world on her own... and the best way she could think to do that was to make sure that her pokemon companion was able to protect her. Though the battles were infrequent, Emira's pokemon did eventually evolve into a Vivillon by the time Emira turned 19, and with a fully evolved pokemon in her possession, Emira convinced her parents to let her go make her own way in the world. Of course, they weren't willing to just let her go with nothing... they provided her with money, just to get her started on her travels... enough that she certainly wouldn't have to worry about food, at least, and gave her explicit instructions to call often and keep them updated on where she was and what she was doing. Once she was out on her own, Emira almost immediately set about leaving the Sinnoh region, her sense of adventure leading her to a mysterious island somewhere to the South that she'd once read about, along with her Vivillon companion.

Briar Rose, a retired pop star from Unova Briar Rose Briar Rose Classes: Musician / Chronicler / Hobbyist Character Archetype: Explorer, Collector, Battler, Syndicate Take-Downer Theme / Battle Song: "Singularity" by Dunderpatrullen Previously a member and lead dance choreographer of the Unovan-based pop idol quintet, N-VNCiB:L, Briar stepped out of the limelight a year ago in order to pursue her want to become a Pokemon trainer, a dream she has harbored since she was a child but simply never had time for after her rise to stardom. Returning to a normal life, however, has been quite a challenge for the retired star, as no matter where she goes, her past fame seems to follow her. Having tried changing her hair, her name, and even homes, she realizes there's only one place a girl like her can go to start over: a faraway island where no one will ever recognize her...hopefully... Description Thin and toned, anyone can tell that Briar is in excellent shape, though the long purple locks of her pop-star days have long since been chopped off at chin-length and her color has faded back to its natural black, adding only a single red streak on the left side of her bangs. Her copper-brown eyes appear almost red against the dark image she presents, and a number of piercings are strewn about her face, including one in her lip, three in her left eyebrow, and one in her right nostril, not to mention the numerous ear piercings she has. Try as she might, she finds it hard to let go of her pop-star fashion sense, albeit without the embellishments she often wore back in the day, and still dresses like a 'young punk', tending towards heavy black hoodies and shirts that are much too big for her. She is rarely seen without a band t-shirt on--sometimes even her own band's emblem just to complete the act. Personality Cool-headed and determined, she's still having trouble letting go of her stage persona in public, and as a result, often comes off as distant and lost in her own little world when in reality she is simply focused and engaged. After all, being the lead dancer and choreographer for a famous pop syndicate takes a lot of discipline, especially if you're as much of a perfectionist as Briar is. Perhaps the one thing that gives her away more than anything is her low, husky voice which, though she rarely sang a lead part, is easily identifiable by anyone who has heard it. In some instances, she's even been mistaken for a male due to it, which has been both an advantage and a problem at different points in her life. But getting to know Briar reveals a gentle, amicable sort of person with a deep-set sense of empathy, compassion, and resolve. A certain Pokemon Professor from a far-away town might even say she has the potential to become the best, but in truth, Briar herself just wants to live what little left of her youth to the fullest! Background Briar was born and raised in Nacrene City, the city of entrepreneurs and artists, and it was here that she first learned of her appreciation for music. Initially interested in Pokemon even at a very young age, she made her first childhood friend at six years old: her long time best friend and fellow N-VNCiB:L bandmate, Feena. The two were inseparable almost immediately, and originally planned on starting their Pokemon adventures together along with Feena's cousin, another future N-VNCiB:L bandmate, Shoji, but all that changed when they discovered they had a second love: music! And it turned out, they were pretty good, performing in numerous dance and instrumental competitions from the tender age of seven years old. During this time, Briar and her friends became so immersed in music that going on Pokemon adventures seemed to slip right out of their minds, and before they knew it, they were teenagers and had started a music group, which they formed with two new members: the commanding Ace and cool-headed Macha, who were both excellent singers. Thus, N-VNCiB:L came to be, and over the next three years would slowly rise to stardom throughout the Unova region and becoming one of the mainstay pop groups in the U-Pop music scene. Of course, being superstars came with it's own interesting adventures, from all sorts of concerts and venue performances, to conventions centered around them, and even going so far as to adopt stage personas, storylines, and even romantic interests! For a time, Briar enjoyed the spotlight, embracing her stardom and her status as a pop icon, but the longer time went on, the more she began to realize how quickly life was passing, and how much of her youth she was losing. This eventually came to a head, and after three years of touring as a lead member of N-VNCiB:L, numerous side projects with other bands, and amassing a massive fan base, Briar announced that she would be leaving the limelight in order to pursue her real passion: Pokemon. This, of course, sparked a great deal of new drama for her to deal with, particularly on the subject of her replacement in N-VNCiB:L. She was the band's choreographer, after all, and she was regarded as one of the best in the industry, so not just anyone would do. Fortunately, Briar had her own solution, handpicking one promising prospect from a local dance competition in Nimbasa City: Briar's self-proclaimed 'biggest fan', Quin. Thus when all was said and done, Briar quietly retired back to Nacrene City, though found that her debut into the Pokemon scene was far from quiet. In fact, the turn out to see her off, and the staggering number of 'roadies' that wanted to follow her around immediately put her off from the whole ordeal. Yet no matter how much she did to lay low, the fame stalked her every movement. Everyone and their mother found out where she was at any given time, and it wasn't until she finally ran deep into the woods, Pokemon-less, in an attempt to get away from a particularly massive crowd of fans, and became horribly lost. The whole ordeal was traumatic for Briar, who had never so much as camped in the woods until that point, and more than once she had to flee from wild Pokemon and other dangers. At one point, however, Briar tripped and fell into a deep ravine, badly injuring her leg. Unable to move far, she managed to drag herself to a small glade near a stream. As she propped herself up against a tree, she leaned back against it and let everything go, tears and sobs overcoming her. What was she even doing? She had no idea how to be a Pokemon trainer. She could even deal with her marauding fans! It was hopeless... Then she heard a tiny sob nearby and turned to see a small shape hiding inside the hollow of an old rotten stump. It was a small white and green Pokemon, no larger than half a foot long, balled up as tightly as it could hold itself. The ground all around was covered with scattered eggshells, and what's more, there were signs that something else--something much larger and more predatorial--had been here. What's more, the Pokemon appeared to be badly hurt, and had only escaped from its attacker by hiding here. She looked at the little creature for a moment, and then slowly, gently reached out her hand. The pokemon started when she touched it, and did all it could to bury deeper into the stump to no avail. She pulled back. The poor thing must be terrified... She thought for a minute and then opened her knapsack, producing a small piece of food. The creature stopped and stared at her for a long time, but sure enough, its hunger overcame it, and it took a small bite, then retreated again. Briar smiled gently, and broke a piece off, placing it just on the fringe of the opening, watching as the Pokemon reached out and took it. She repeated this act, slowly drawing it out until finally, it sat before her, munching quietly on the rest of the food. Minutes later, it was bouncing around happily, letting her touch it and playing as if it hadn't a care in the world. Briar marveled at the little creature's transformation and friendliness, thinking to herself how wonderful it must be to just change on a dime like that. Yet in the moment that she had gotten lost in thought, the Pokemon had crawled up on her lap and fallen asleep. Still unable to move, Briar opted to rest the night there and try her luck in the morning. Little did she know what harrowing experience awaited her that night, however, when she woke to the sound of an aggressive Pokemon towering over her. Fortunately for her, the Pokemon she had rescued felt her emotions, and immediately sprung into action, erupting in a strange melody of sound the likes of which Briar had never heard before. The attack did it's job, and the enemy Pokemon was driven away, leaving the two alone once more. She looked down at the little white and green creature, which turned to her, sensing her relief. Her little savior. Her valiant little hero... Valiant. That's what she would call her. The next day, Briar woke to find that her leg had healed enough to allow her to walk, and so she resolved to find her way out of the forest. Much to her surprise, the little Pokemon not only followed her but seemed to use its ability to sense emotions to lead her out of the forest and towards civilization. From that day on, the little green-and-white Pokemon, which she later learned was called a 'Ralts', was her constant companion and the Briar felt renewed hope in her journey to become a trainer. After all, if this little Pokemon could change from scared and alone to playful and protective with so little coaxing, then surely she could do the same. But first, she had to make sure nobody was going to follow her this time. It took several months to finally disappear from the public eye, as well as Briar completely changing her look, in order to finally start again, but rather than take chances beginning her journey in one of the more well-known regions, she decided to play it safe. She needed to go somewhere on the frontier, to a place where nobody would even think to look for her! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As she looked out across the horizon, feeling the boat swaying gently beneath her and cradling her Ralts in her arms, she felt the breeze change. Saltspray was still mixed in, but now she could smell tropical foliage, and she could hear the cry of coastal bird Pokemon overhead. "Almost there, Val," she said, looking down at her Pokemon, who coo'd up at her questioningly. She smiled and looked up, her eyes settling on the vague outline of the mountain ahead. This is it, she thought. This is really the start of her journey! Preferred Playstyle & Character Goals: Story, Character Development, Exploration. Briar came here to try and escape her fame and explore Pokemon. She's not out to be the best at anything, just to learn about how Pokemon can make peoples' lives better. To that end, she's an open book, and will likely be interested in just about everything that happens on her journey. >>> Character Sheet Link <<<

Character Gallery Real Name: Macha Cunningham Real Name: Feena Nakamura Real Name: Shoji Kyosiku Real Name: Ace Masters Real Name: Quin Rival Stage Name: Duchess Stage Name: Feena Stage Name: Mishi Stage NameName: Ace Stage Name: Bam Talent: Lead Vocalist, Dancer, Group Fashion Designer, Makeup Designer Talent: Back-Up Vocals, Dancer, Keyboard, Public Face Talent: Back-Up Vocals, Dancer, Bass Guitar, Group Stylist Talent: Secondary Vocals, Dancer, Drummer Talent: Lead Dancer, Choreographer, Back-Up Vocals, Lead Guitar One of N-VNCiB:L's two lead singers, Duchess's stage personality is cool, no-nonsense, and prissy--attributes that really aren't much of a stretch for her off-stage. Macha was somewhat full of herself even before her time as an idol, and the spotlight has done little to humble her. She and Briar had a tense relationship, but they were never truly at odds with one another. She, more than any other member of the group, feels like Briar's choice to leave was a betrayal, though, in reality, she's just worried about her. Back-up singer and the 'face' of the group, Feena's personality both off and on stage is that of a high energy crowd-pleaser. She and Briar are childhood friends, and Shoji is her cousin from Kanto. She loves that Briar had the courage to leave their fame behind and chase after Pokemon, and a part of Feena wishes she'd joined her. She's also known to playfully flirt with Briar, though she would never admit to her best friend that her true feelings are more real than she lets on. Shoji's nickname amongst the group is 'Sleepy' due to her penchant for enjoying naps (her room on the tour bus is almost nothing but pillows), but you'd never know it from how well she can rock the stage. She looks up to Briar, viewing her in many ways like an older sister, and was sleepily happy that she's going to pursue her dream. Ace is a tough customer. Bold, strong-willed, and more than willing to trade choice words at the drop of a hat, she's the groups 'leader', though in reality she's much like Briar and just prefers the quiet solitude of her own thoughts. She and Briar had their differences but got along well enough that they parted on good terms, though Ace is less than pleased about Briar's choice to replace herself with the headstrong Quin. Briar's self-proclaimed 'biggest fan' won her spot on the group after Briar herself scouted her talent from a national dance competition, immediately recognizing her skill. Loud, impetuous, and willful, she often locks horns with some of the groups more vocal members, but most of it is just due to the fact that she's so psyched to be living her dream. . . Real Name: Briar Rose . Name: Echo Gheistlane . Name: Rain Rose Stage Name: Rogue (Retired) . Occupation: Manager . Relation: Briar's Mother Briar's stage personality was to be cool by being strong, quiet, and imposing. As the group's lead choreographer, she was fashionable and flashy, but moody and apathetic. The idea was to appeal to skilled introverts who identified with being an 'included outcast'; ie, someone who didn't quite fit the mold of the rest of the group, but still had her own energy. 'Rogue' was damn good at dancing and knowing it gave her an 'ego'. To this day, Briar still has trouble letting go of many of these learned behaviors, but she's making progress. . Born and raised in the limelight, Echo is the girls' toughest critic, hardest-working advocate, and in some ways, and their staunchest protector in terms of the business side of things. She took charge of the group after seeing their previous manager exploit them simply for the money they raked in and has been their head ever since. Every single member of the group looks up to her as their "Big Sister", and Briar actually based her new look on Echo's personal image. . Briar's mom is the quintessential parent, always supporting her daughter even from afar and doting on her. Worrisome, caring, and compassionate, she savors every chance she has to be with her daughter and has remained proud of her through every decision Briar has made since becoming a pop idol, to quitting the limelight, moving away, and now her dream to be a Pokemon trainer. She calls Briar relentlessly whenever she forgets to phone home for more than a day, though Briar doesn't mind it.

Jack Name: Jack Masters Age: 20 Archetype: Researcher and amateur trainer Starter Pokemon: Prometheus the Magby Appearance and personality: Jack is a tall and thin young man with raven hair and blue eyes. spending most of ones life in laboratories doesnt lend itself to a robust physique. A quick wit, Jack is a young and cocksure professional. confident when it comes to anything that he knows about, he's surprisingly hesitant when it comes to anything relating to pokemon. After spending so much time in a lab he's not very good with social situations outside it, and usually defaults to logic and reason whenever he's put into an awkward or unfamiliar situation. Backstory: Raised by famous researcher parents in Kanto, Jack never really had much of a choice in what career path lay before him. while other people his age were getting their starters and setting out for adventure, Jack was studying Chemistry. Through hard work and sacrifice, Jack has managed to become a well respected professional in his chosen field of research at an incredibly young age. Despite this professional achievement, and the joy he gets from his job, Jack always yearned for that Pokemon adventure that so many of his friends had gone on. Through a mutual acquaintance he met Gym Leader Blaine, who, upon hearing his desire, gifted him a newborn Magby as his starter and told him that he should live his life for him, not for his parents. The very next day he closed down his lab, fired his assistants, and set off for Pokemon Island. A place perfect for the adventure he was looking for, and far, far away from disappointed parents who were sure to try and force him back to his lab. Preferred play style: Adventure and exploration. Jack wants to experience the wild world of Pokemon in every aspect that he can, and maybe eventually return to Kanto to take on the gym challenge there.

Name Leo Logan
Sheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...t?usp=drivesdk
Age 17
Region of birth Galar
Personality
Leo can be cold, and quiet. Except when he's dealing with pokemon. He loves them. Alpha, his Deino most of all. His relationship with Alpha is more akin to a brotherly bond.
He's distrustful of adults, given a couple of bad experiences in the foster care system. He had to rely on himself and Alpha for most of his life.
The exception being his mentor Franziska. She got him a education, albeit one focused on pokemon. It led to an unexpected side interest of paleontology.
Leo has always enjoyed battling, as has Alpha. They don't start fights, but they'll finish them.

Background
Leo Logan was born to loving parents. Unfortunately his parents died when he was young. Catapulted into the foster care system, Leo Logan was first placed with an abusive drunk of a foster father, and a foster mother terrified of her husband. After his hand was burned in a hot pan, Leo ran away. He was found and placed with another family. This family equated foster children with slave labour. He was forced to work in a sweatshop. Whilst he escaped multiple times, he was always brought back. His final escape at age 12 was the charm. Managed to rob his foster parents too. Only got a little money and a couple of poke balls.
On the streets he had to rely on his wits to survive. Made a living conning people. Occasionally got into fights with other street kids. A year later he got wind that his social worker was closing in on him.
He made the decision to leave the city. Not being the best outdoors, he got lost in the wilds. Hearing a sad howling, Leo approached it, thinking it might be an animal got in a trap.
It wasn't. It was a Deino by the body of his dead mum. Mawile bites looked like the cause of death. Likely they had driven the Deino family from their cave home, and the mother died from her injuries later. Sensing Leo, he attacked the teenager. However Leo could see his heart wasn't really in it. Speaking softly to the Deino, Leo managed to talk him down, then comfort the dragon. Wanting to protect the little guy, as Leo knew what it was like to be orphaned, he poke balled the guy. That's how he found his brother Alpha.
Leo didn't know what he was doing at first. Looking after a pokemon was new to him. However he always made sure Alpha ate, and the Deino probably was fed better than Leo, whom always put Alpha's welfare first.
By the time they reached the new city, Alpha was big and strong. Most of the time Leo used his guile to make ends meet. Occasionally he and Alpha would participate in illegal fight tournaments. These would sometimes end badly, and Leo would have to fight too, to protect Alpha.
It was in a poke center where he met Franziska, a pillar of the community, whom offered to take the teenager and Alpha in. Leo was very resistant to the idea at first. Franziska used his one weakness against him. Alpha. She promised him an education in how to care for him better, as well as regular food.
He couldn't say no to better care for Alpha, so he accepted. She enrolled him into a learning program. Whilst he enjoyed the technical information, the slant his instructors took, made him feel uncomfortable, that pokemon were only commodities. At Franziska's house, he got combat training from her Hitmontop. He was hard on Leo, but ultimately both earned a mutual respect. Alpha, as always, was well cared for by Leo, but they weren't fighting others whilst he was studying, leading to a decline in the combat skill in the young Deino. In one of the rare battles they had during this time, they teamed up with Franziska and her Sneasel. Leo was kind of impressed how well the Sneasel worked with Alpha. He liked it's cunning which was a welcome ally to Alpha's strength. If the opportunity to catch one arose, Leo would definitely take it.
After his training and education was over, Franziska told him about Prism Islands and the possibility of new pokemon and fossil that may be found there. He takes a job with a research team and so begins the new journey. Leo joins a paleontologist expedition to the colder parts of the islands. There may well be rare fossils there! Even those of unknown pokemon.



Appearence
Somewhat of a pretty boy, with messy blond hair and blue eyes. A slight physique, and medium height. He wears light armour, a parting gift from Franziska.
