Name: Charlie Hughes

Age: 13

Gender: Male

Appearance: Ignore the sword. Hedoesn'thaveaHonedgeeitherbutthat'sbesidesthepoint.

Personality: Your initial impression of Charlie may be that he's a pushover. To a certain extent, this holds up; he's somewhat nervous and non-confrontational, tending to get pushed around in group situations and bossed about by whatever more ornery son of a bitch takes control. This isn't entirely fair; he's surprisingly capable when working on his own, and demonstrates a reasonable level of competence both in and out of group situations, but the fact remains that he's too much of a doormat for his own good and allows himself to be overridden by others with saddening ease.

Otherwise, Charlie is a pleasant enough individual. Despite the fact that his nervous disposition can make him a little irritable at points, he's usually fairly polite and courteous, trying his best to respect other people regardless of whatever bullshit they may pull. As of this, he's actually reasonably effective in social situations despite himself; whilst he's easy to push around, he's capable of talking to people normally and socializing like a normal person, and generally comes off as sane. Also, whilst not a genius, he's reasonably intelligent and has a fairly good memory for random details; exactly how useful this is is debatable/varies according to the situation.

Brief Bio: Charlie’s family originates from outside of Kalos; his immediate family moved to Lumiose City from the neighbouring region of Alvion just under a decade ago, when he was only six, due to his father’s work as a translator. Between the historical tensions between Kalos and Alvion and his family being somewhat new to the upper-middle class, he got bullied and picked on quite significantly by other when he first arrived, and this persisted for a number of years until his aggressors finally got bored. Whilst his initial response to the bullying was to fight back and give back what he got, getting reprimanded for it and not accomplishing anything with it caused him to lose much of the aggressive part of his personality and adopt a more non-confrontational and meek persona. It succeeded, but left him as the nervous little bugger he is today.

However, one thing he used to try and distract himself from the bullying turned out to be quite significant in the long run; at around the age of eight, he ‘adopted’ a Gastly his family found hiding out in their attic after it took a shine to him, and soon afterwards took an interest in looking after and studying Pokemon and their abilities. Whilst he never really got into the whole ‘training and battling’ aspect of Pokemon, the Gastly happened to be a scrappy little bugger and fairly good in a fight, and his memory for details lead to him being able to remember a reasonable amount of information regarding Pokemon breeding and tutoring. As of this, in recent years he’s picked up some notability helping trainers to breed and teach their Pokemon to learn specific moves and evolve into the right Pokemon.

Starter Pokemon: Gastly (Mephistophiles/Phil)

Starter's Personality:
By contrast to Charlie, Phil is practically chutzpah personified. True to his nature as a Ghost-type, he delights in mischief and generally bugging the ever-loving hell out of other people, and has a general air of sadomachochism about pranks and mischief. He likes pranks, and he likes getting pranked. Getting as good as he gives is just part of the fun for him. Also contrary to Charlie is his sense of egotism; he likes to lead the way and 'take charge' of situations the best he can, which often gets him into trouble. Which is all part of the fun for him, mind you.

Despite his manic personality, he does seem to like people regardless of whether they like him; he isn't really the kind to hold a grudge, or at least not for long, and doesn't seem to care about getting smacked about. The only people he tends to really dislike are those who insist on picking on Charlie; this quickly gets him from ‘heavy-handed humour’ to ‘actually trying to suffocate you’.

Anything else:
- Due to his family background, Charlie is fluent in both Alvion (English) and Kalosian (French). He has some proficiency with German, but not much.

Name: Miu Kita

Age: 12

Gender: Female

Personality: Miu is, in short, a bully. She'll only give respect to those with strong pokemon, and even then she's not exactly the type to fawn over others. To her, strength is defined by raw power and she prefers strong attackers to walls or speedsters. Those trainers who don't meet her standards aren't worth her time, in her mind, and at best are brushed off and ignored. At worst, they are actively mocked, though she does draw the line at intentional physical harm. Pokemon that aren't strong enough are tossed aside. She'll push herself and her pokemon to the utmost limit to become the strongest trainer of all, risking injury in the process. A surefire way to piss her off is to try to interrupt her training. She's been called on her attitude before by other trainers and has shown no desire to change.

Outside of pokemon, she's slow to kindness but equally slow to conversation. While good at battling (at least in trainer school), she's terrible at socializing and easily lost in a crowd. Outside of pokemon, she's reluctant to speak her mind as, though she knows a lot about pokemon, she's not so knowledgeable about other topics. She doesn't need anyone's approval, but she cannot stand pity, to her or to others. She does have a bit of a fondness for customizing pokeballs and is not above spending money on the necessary supplies to do so. She's actually quite fond of flying-type pokemon, and wants one large enough to ride. As a final note, she has a weakness for black licorice.

Brief Bio: Miu hails from Kiloude City, oldest of three children. As such, there's barely been a day where she went without seeing a pokemon battle. She's grown up all her life with pokemon - her dad worked as a store clerk, selling TMs of powerful moves to elite trainers, and her mom fought in the Battle Maison. Only a few were tame enough to not try lashing out at a young girl. Her childhood was normal enough, with caring, if perhaps tired and preoccupied, parents, and neither she nor her siblings were left wanting.

Once she was old enough, she was sent off to a trainer academy to learn how to fight. Miu quickly reached the head of the class, between her tendency to train and study battle strategies constantly, and her tendency to pick the meaner pokemon to fight with. She developed a rather intimidating aura around her classmates and got in trouble more than once. Her parents didn't see the point in punishing her if she was actually learning how to battle well. Not once did she call home, however - she refused to give anyone an excuse to accuse her of relying on her parents to learn how to battle.

The Kita family received their letter from Professor Apple, much like the three other families. After much discussion, her parents decided that, despite the fact their middle child had just turned 10, Miu had experience in battling and so would probably leave the best impression on the professor. As such, she was given a train ticket to Lumiose City to go meet Professor Apple at Aquacorde City.

Starter Pokemon: Poliwag
Starter's Personality: Poliwag's a bit difficult to control - she despises schedules and routines, preferring variation in her days. She's by no means a bad fighter, and will work hard to improve, but drawn-out battles bore her and she'd sooner lose her advantage than play a waiting game. She gets jealous easily, especially when she's not the center of attention, but she is capable of warmth and friendliness. For an armless pokemon, she's surprisingly graceful.

Name: Assistant Prof. B

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Personality: B is a rather cordial fellow, if maybe a bit of a klutz and tongue-tied easily. His excuse for the latter is that English is a second language for him which he is still assimilating, so please bear with him. The only things he never falters on are his manners. While he may often be at a loss for words, he is almost never at a loss for an answer and knows all sorts of things. Ask, and he will frequently provide information as best as he can. To him, there's rarely any point to being roundabout. He's quite encouraging, if maybe in a backhanded way (e.g. telling trainers to buy Revives since Arceus knows they'll need 'em sooner or later!).

When not being made to, say, carry glass vials or do public speaking, he's very competent in his own right. His research doesn't entirely align with Apple's, but he tends to prioritize her requests above his own work. By his own admittance, his research is more driven by curiosity than need. He's fascinated by ancient pokemon, with a special fondness for Unown. When not in the lab, he's usually around Geosenge or Camphrier Town.

Brief Bio: B only really showed up about a year ago, working under Professor Apple and rarely, if ever speaking. It was later he began sharing his story - he grew up in a distant region, where homes were made from ruins and the most common pokemon was Golett. His name isn't B, but it's difficult to pronounce and B suits him fine. He came to appreciate the ancient nature of his hometown and even ended up getting his first pokemon - a Y-shaped Unown. He had no interest in becoming a pokemon master, to be sure, but when he found ruins with Unown shapes serving as glyphs, he began taking interest in the nature of ancient pokemon.

He became a researcher in his own right, if a bit of an amateur, of the ruins and the pokemon linked to them. That's the reason for the eyepatch - one set of ruins caved in, and a rock chip cost him his eye. He figured, better to look like a cartoony villain than subject anyone to the scars and infection damage, and so bought the eyepatch. Once he felt there was no more left to learn, he visited both Violet City in Johto, Solaceon Town in Sinnoh, and the Tanoby Chambers in the Sevii Islands to study the Unown populations. After learning about the events Team Flare set off and the knowledge that there had been a functional weapon from ancient times, he went to Kalos. Studying there proved much more difficult without knowledge of English, and he ended up working under Professor Apple.

Starter Pokemon: Unown (Y-letter)
Starter's Personality: Y is always by B's side, refusing a pokeball unless fainted. Even in the lab, Y hovers by his side and alerts B to company. Y doesn't like being touched and tends to float out of reach, occasionally squeaking angrily. Y can be relied on to help out in the lab, catching a vial or two that slips out of B's fingers, and seems to be extremely social and curious, to the point of ignoring personal space, whenever B is busy. If it can be helped, Y isn't allowed to fight.

Name: Lynda Tanner

Age: 17

Gender: Female

Personality: Lynda isn't a bad girl by any means...as if! While those who meet her can't quite make up their minds between "legitimately has harmful intentions" or "has a slightly distorted perception on fun", they can all agree that Lynda loves causing and observing absolute chaos more than anything else. Her reasons are her own, and her thought process seems to change just as jarringly and suddenly as the way she feels about others she's around. As such, were somebody to figure out just what it is that makes this girl so set on raising hell, they'd probably earn some sort of medal.

In battles, she's ruthless and reckless. She has no concern for how much damage her team suffers as long as they dish out more than they take, and she's all too fond of the Dragon type. And the Fire type, to a lesser extent, as it's known that her all-time favorite attack is, in fact, Flamethrower. Might want to add "pyromaniac" to the list of "possible things wrong with this girl". She can take loss perfectly well, at least...so long as Fairy-types had nothing to do with it. Did we mention she absolutely despises the Fairy type? Yeah...

Brief Bio: Birth-resident of the neighboring Alvion Region, Lynda moved to Kalos with her family shortly after she was born. To be honest, you would probably never guess she's not native to Kalos or her hometown of grand Lumiose City. You also would probably never guess that somebody who thrives on chaos as much as her has had a very bumpy life...oh wait, maybe you would guess that. Lumiose wasn't exactly kind to young Lynda Tanner's family. Nothing bad really happened, though...except maybe Lynda possibly setting fire to her family home once upon a time on accident...and Mr. and Mrs. Tanner might not have gotten out.

So yeah, that was the birth of Lynda Tanner as we know her today. But she wasn't just any street kid. Oh no, she was almost like their queen or something. Quick on her feet, just as quick in her wit, and willing to do anything to push on to the next day. And she had a ball growing up that way, believe it or not. Difficult to impossible to track, nothing tying her down, and getting to call the shots of her own life. Oh yeah, that was Lynda's ideal lifestyle to a blazing T. Even the stray Pokemon looked up to her. She had a particular fondness for a Zorua she'd usually find near Prism Tower.

Well, down the line, she wound up trying to snag a meal from somebody who wasn't looking. Somebody who was far smarter than Lynda. Her name was Professor Lily Apple, and this had actually just happened a few days ago. Well, the good Professor caught Lynda in the act, and after some time lecturing the girl on why it's wrong to steal food others paid for (only about 20% of which Lynda actually listened to), Apple gave her an offer. Journey across Kalos, collecting data alongside four other trainers. Lynda wasn't interested at first. Of course, Apple didn't mention a possible reward first.

So now Lynda's tagging along, but more for a possible reward than any desire to...actually, she's pretty stoked about seeing what other sorts of cuisine the rest of Kalos has to offer. Lumiose croissants and coffees are nice, but there are so many other flavors this place has to offer!

Starter Pokemon: Deino
Starter's Personality: Lynda's Deino is every bit as ruthless as she is in battle. He doesn't give in, doesn't give up, and will take any amount of hits necessary to land his own. It's unknown if this is just Lynda rubbing off on him or if this is really how he acts, but in either case, expect a fierce fight out of this little dragon. The little bugger also loves making things happen just as much as his owner, so watch yourself. It can probably be seen as a nice thing that Lynda and her starter have so much in common, but...they have all the bad things in common.

Name: Bailey de Chance

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Personality: Bailey is, in a word, unlucky. Chalking it up to an old family curse, she's the sort of unlucky where the one day she forgets to write her name on a test, it's the final exam, or no matter how many times she double-checks, she'll always forget something crucial to her day. Those jellybeans with the mixed flavors of good and god-awful? She'll always pull out the bad-tasting ones. Whenever she remembers to bring an umbrella, it's the one time it doesn't actually rain.

But despite the way everything seems to go wrong for her, Bailey tries to keep a good attitude and tough it out. Sometimes the stress from her bad luck can pile up, and once in a while she'll suddenly and unexpectedly fly off the handle at the smallest thing because of it, but she's normally pretty level-headed. She's very personable and tries to help others out as much as she can, but more often than not her luck will just ruin her attempts. Despite this, Bailey still gives it her best shot without any sign of letting her luck get the best of her.

Brief Bio: It wouldn't be fair to call Bailey's past tragic, though it sure wasn't happy. "Unlucky" is the more appropriate term. From the moment she was born, Bailey was cursed with terrible luck, just like her mother, her mother's mother, and going back for at least five generations. It was supposedly something that happened when Bailey's great-great-great-grandmother went and agitated a Litwick she was going to make her first companion of. The Litwick used Hex, and in modern terms, it was super effective. From that day onward, the firstborn daughter in every generation of the de Chance family had unnaturally poor luck. Supposedly, one way to alleviate the effects of the curse is to be around a Ghost-type Pokemon.

When Bailey was born, the doctor tripped on a wire and dropped her. On the first day of school, she swallowed a fly when trying to introduce herself. These and other unlucky things have plagued the landscape of her life from day one. It seemed as though the only sanctuary from this curse was her home, where the family's pet Pokemon - a Chandelure evolved from the very Litwick that supposedly put a curse on the family to begin with - acted as a supposed guardian from bad luck and Bailey's best friend. With her luck, one would figure Chandelure would run away. But no. Rather, it was Bailey who would be leaving home. When Professor Apple sent out letters across Kalos, the de Chance family of Anistar City was among the five families to receive a letter. Thrilled, Bailey's mother encouraged her to go out and see the world. She was excited at first, but now that she's halfway across Kalos, she's not so thrilled to see the world anymore.

Starter Pokemon: Duskull
Starter's Personality: This sharp-witted little Duskull has a fondness for getting into everbody's business. Not because he's nosy, not at all. He just likes to know that everybody's doing well, or give them a helping hand if they're not so well off. If people ignore him when he's trying to communicate, though, he will pester the hell out of them until they finally listen. Though he can't speak in any way humans would understand, he'll do his best to convey his meaning through gestures and whatever's nearby...even if the person doesn't necessarily like what he's telling them.

Theme song: Yuki Kajiura - In Memory of You

VA:

Anything else: Due to a superstition about her family's curse, Bailey feels most comfortable in the presence of Ghost-type Pokemon. Inversely, the presence of Dark-type Pokemon is said to enhance the bad luck, naturally making Bailey very wary of them.

Name: Professor Lily Apple

Age: 28

Gender: Female

Personality: Relaxed but never slow-witted, Prof. Apple is the sort of person who would rather talk a person through their question until they figure out as opposed to just giving them the direct answer. Unless it involves her research, Apple feels most comfortable when not operating directly, preferring to remain in the lab while others do the direct work instead. She's always willing to help out those who help her, though, and has a particular pride in her being from Unova.

That said, she does have a few social quirks. If she doesn't like a topic, or the conversation is drifting from one she does like, she'll keep pushing it in the direction she'd rather go until the other person just goes with it or stops talking to her. She also won't hesitate to call somebody out on their flaws if asked about them, and won't hold back. Most of all though, she hates, HATES saying the same thing twice in a row. People who don't listen to Professor Apple and make her repeat herself are probably people she won't call "friend" anytime soon.

Brief Bio: Born in Unova Region in the lovely Opelucid City, Lily Apple has long had a fascination with how Pokemon evolve. What precisely causes it? Why do some Pokemon change so much when they evolve but others change so little? With the discovery of Mega Stones a few years ago, how does that even work? There have always been questions to be asked, and Lily wanted the answers.

Deciding to learn from the best, Lily spent some time studying under Professors Juniper and Juniper, exceeding their expectations as the name Professor Apple shot up the lists of Unova's finest Pokemon Professors. By the time she was 22, there was nothing more for Professor Apple to learn in Unova. She began spending a year in each of the different regions, touring through Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Until her studies brought her to Kalos Region at age 26, where she met Professor Sycamore. The man was a genius that left Apple baffled. This was what led to her ultimate decision to remain in Lumiose City, studying under Professor Sycamore on all aspects of Pokemon evolution.

For the last two years, she's been working with Professor Sycamore, as well as helping other, newer professors in Lumiose with getting up to speed on what's what. While the final goal of knowing precisely how it all works is still a long way off, Apple likes to take it one step at a time. The current step: "If I can compare the DNA of Pokemon to that of humans, it could go a long way to help figure out how Pokemon evolution works."

Starter Pokemon: Aron
Starter's Personality: Apple's Aron is a tenacious little fellow. Hard-headed and adamant, this little ball of steel is eager to please the Professor and even more eager to follow her every order. Aron enjoys to fight since during battle is when the lil' guy feels closest to Apple, and win or lose, has a good time bashing heads with another Pokemon.
