Name: Ethros Arcio Age:20 Sex: Male Place of birth: Viridian City Height: 6'0" Description: His rugged brown hair often droops over his oddly smooth face when he's not brushing it off to the sides. For this reason, he's taken to wearing a red beanie with a pokeball on it. It looks very worn out but it seems to really pull his hair together. His eyes are a deep brown and seem to always be visible even in dim lighting. The clothing he wears usually is very comfortable yet stylish. He isn't what one would consider built, but he has enough muscle definition to be just between skinny and muscular. His voice is a very soft, and often people have difficulty getting his tone down correctly through hearing him speak alone. History:The history of the Arcio family is one of success through hard work. Back when the pokeball was invented 2000+ years ago, the family first settled near the Viridian forest area and began to harvest the lumber from the trees. After 10 generations of success, the family began to gain a lot of influence within the Kanto region. They became known as the most promising source of money for the area, and with it's lumber, essentially helped expand the Kanto and Jhoto regions buildings single handedly. The family became very well known and started it's own business "Viridian Lumber Co." It's symbol of a caterpie and weedle are on almost every building within the two regions. From this success, the family got very intermingled with the small council. It was from that point on that they always had someone on both the Jhoto and Kanto small council to influence major decisions within the regions. After Arceus came down 100 years ago, Ethros' grandfather was present in the region on business and witnessed the event. He promptly converted the family and business to worshiping Arceus. He immediately cast out the previous family name (Ethos doesn't konw what this name was to this day) and dubbed the family "Arcio" to show his patronage tothe pokemon god. This created a massive rift in the Jhoto and Kanto regions, as they didn't see eye to eye on the new wave religion of the Shinnoh region. Ethos' father was very strict when he took control of the business. He wanted to really make his father proud, and as such was very cold and calculating with the business decisions. The main goals of Ethros' father in his ownership (ongoing) are to change the brand from caterpie and weedle to Arceus and to expand the lumber exports to the Shinnoh region. As a young boy, Ethros was always groomed to become the next owner of the lumber company. As an only child, his father was very strict on him while his mother was very comforting. He would have servants doing most of his chores but disliked it after seeing how a few of his friends were able to cloth and feed themselves. At the age of 18, his father brought him a growlithe he obtained while on business. He told him that it would represent the fire in his heart to expand the company and family name. Ethros found comfort in his new friend, and the two quickly became very attached. He decided on the name Dart because he ran faster than any pokemon in the area. While with his father on a business trip, Ethros heard whispers of a pokemon named Rayquaza in the Hoenn region. His curiosity finally got the better of him and he decided he'd investigate what this pokemon was in comparison to Arceus. He lied to his father and told him he'd become a pokemon champion. His father thought it was a very good chance to spread fame for the family, so he allowed Ethros to leave. When he turned 20, Ethros took off with Dart due north towards Pewter city to try and find his way to Hoenn. Pokemon: Growlithe - Nickname: Dart

Name: Gene Green Age: 19 Sex: Male Place of birth: Johto Height: 5'8" Description: He wants to learn whatever he can, and is often found with a book or two in his backpack. Working the plants from a young age, he has grown fairly strong physically, but he prefers to work with his mind. As a farmer, though, a formal education wasn't possible, so he learned to read from his mothers teachings and reads whatever books he can get his hands on. He often wears his overalls when he leaves the farm, such as when he has to head into the city for supplies or when making deliveries. His bicycle is quite old and often breaks down, but he still prefers to ride it as opposed to walking, as it's much faster. History: He grew up on a farm, learning to tend the berry and apricorn bushes from a young age. his only contact with other children was his siblings and the children in town when he got to go. When he was 12, however, his father decided to introduce him to the real money maker on the farm, apricorn balls. He learned to make pokeballs from the apricorns they grew, getting almost as good as his father. Several years ago, while gathering more apricorns to turn into balls and sale, he found a caterpie eating the leafs on one of the bushes. He decided to try out one of the balls he had made on it, and it was caught. After that he took it with him whenever he went to check the bushes and, if he found something, he would use the Caterpie to knock it out. He even kept using it while it was metapod, and it turned into a butterfree. After that he stopped putting it back into its ball every time it was done fighting an enemy. A few days ago he decided that he was too old to keep living at home and told his family he was going to leave. They told him to take what berries and apricorn balls he needed and wished him well. When he went to check the berry stores in the cellar, however, he found a rattata eating them. Knowing that he would need more than one pokemon if he was to survive, he caught it as well. He left the next day and headed for the nearest city. Pokemon: Butterfree Lvl 12 (just learned poison powder) Rattata (Lvl 2)
