NAME: Jack

AGE: 24

GENDER: M

COUNTRY: Aurios

WEAPONS:

APPEARANCE: Jack has medium length black hair (like in the picture but not blonde), he usually wears a white cloak with ice blue on the edges (basically flip the colors in the picture), is generally clean shaven, stands at 6'1'', slender, toned build, and his left shoulder to bicep has scratch marks on it.

____________

PERSONALITY: Very calm and patient, he is keen to watching from the distance at first before approaching. He places honesty above most traits and values loyalty greatly. He prefers to do things alone with his Pokemon but that's how he's usually survived so he is inexperienced in teamwork. Well mannered, prefers to talk things out calmly before resorting to violence. His fatal flaw is loyalty. He would rather slit someone's throat in their sleep than fight fair. Jack longs for peace between the nations but fears it is impossible. Respects authority and is always willing to help those in need. However he can be very carefree and even joking like Vulcan at times of relaxation. He loves to play music, hunt, eat, and cook.

____________

BIOGRAPHY: Jack grew up in Aurios in a small village, his father worked chopping wood from the forests and his older brother, Sam, was becoming an apprentice with the blacksmith. Jack's mother died giving birth to him during the coldest winter they'd ever seen, they had to stay indoors for five days straight when he was born to avoid the cold and snow. Jack's father, Clint, passed away of old age when Jack was nine years of age. Clint had been as good a father as any, he had a drinking problem but never mistreated his sons. When Jack's father died, Sam had started working at the smith and was able to provide for him and his little brother. Jack took to exploring the forests, where out of boredom he learned to hunt over the course of three years. During his second year of hunting, Jack met a Spearow. The Spearow had it's nest destroyed and eggs stolen by a Sneasel. She attacked Jack upon first meeting but the Sneasel was still in the area, it began 'laughing' and the two decided to hunt it (Jack out of boredom and pity for the Spearow and the Spearow out of revenge). The Sneasel was quick and silent, it pounced on Jack and delivered several scratches before the Spearow got in the way and took the brunt of it's attacks. After the Sneasel was killed, Jack and the Spearow were inseparable; they began hunting together and forging a strong bond, Jack took to calling her Garuda.

Eventually Sam, now an expert smith, had been called to the larger city nearby to help supply the military. Jack, now a young man at age nineteen, bid his dear brother farewell as he took to hunting and selling whatever he could back home. The two stayed in contact over four years before all contact ceased. Sam had been killed during an attack by one of the other nations, no one knew who, in an attempt to cease Aurios' supply of armor and weapons. Jack and Garuda visited the city to pay their respects at Sam's funeral, where they discovered Sam's Chimchar. Chimchar was apparently a gift from one of the blacksmiths in the city to Sam, Jack was told the two were close like they had been birthed together. Though Vulcan, Sam's nickname for the Chimchar, had a bond with Sam he stayed with Jack upon his return to the small village. Vulcan accompanied Garuda and Jack on their hunts, taking a liking to it, but enjoyed 'bickering' with Jack...always in some sort of fight. Word spread to that small village that volunteers were being sought after for a mission, people from all nations apparently going to solve a problem with Pokemon. Jack, not having much left in the village and craving revenge for the nation that killed his brother, left with Garuda and Vulcan to volunteer.

Username:
Ananfal

Name:
Kasumi

Age:
21

Gender:
Female

Country of Origin:
Aurios

Weapons:
A full set of seven throwing knives placed around her body (one strapped to each thigh, one on each arm, one at each ankle, and one strapped to her hip) along with a long blade strapped to her spine, normally hidden by her hair.

Pokemon:

Kiseki
Female Absol
Knows Bite, Night Slash, Shadow Ball, and Shadow Claw.
Kiseki's fur is long and shaggy, which gives her a dignified appearance. Her limbs are longer and more slender than others of her kind, and her horns, claws, and tail sharper. She doesn't speak often, relying instead on her human and Pokemon partners to speak for her.


Taika
Male Arcanine
Knows Fire Fang, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, and Inferno.
Despite having shaggy and fluffy fur, Taika is not a gentle creature. Abused and mistreated by a previous trainer, Taika barely managed to escape back into the wild. However, his abuse made him a raging and angry beast, and he took his frustrations out on the environment and people around him. Kasumi was the first person to see the cause of his pain, and help him overcome it. Although still violent and more prone to rage than his companions, Taika has regained his senses and gladly follows Kasumi.


Tsubasa
Male Braviary
Knows Fly, Wing Attack, Arial Ace, and Crush Claw.
Tsubasa is rather small for his species, but that is because he is a young Braviary. He follows orders well, though sometimes has moments of stubbornness where he refuses to listen to Kasumi.

Appearance:


Personality:
Kasumi is silent and deadly. She isn't afraid to fight, but she rarely charges someone head-on. Instead, she uses every advantage available to her to make sure she wins, no matter what. However, she is also smart enough to realize when the odds are stacked against her, and losing is inevitable. She has a sarcastic wit that isn't shown often, and only truly relaxes among people she trusts. She prefers the shadows and the darkness to the harshness of the light.

Short Biography:
Kasumi has almost always been alone. Her parents were never found, and the child herself was discovered abandoned on the stoop of an orphanage. However, orphans were rarely given much thought and the orphanage became a test of survival for the little girl. And survive she did. She learned to fight, and to sneak, and to steal. She used her skills to gain a knife, and trained until she could wield it to perfection. The other children grew scared of her and her willingness to fight, and so left the girl with the cold eyes and bloody knife alone. Finally ready, Kasumi left the orphanage sure that it had nothing left to teach her. Soon after she found Kiseki, then Taika, and then Tsubasa. Now the four travel together, searching for a meaning or purpose to guide them.

Other:
Kasumi loves the nighttime, along with the moon and the stars. She will sit and stargaze for hours, fascinated by the prinpricks of light against the dark sky. Music holds a similar fascination for her, something she can lose herself in and find a rare moment of peace.

Name:
Eric

Age:
24

Gender:
Male

Country of Origin:
Aurios

Weapons:
A long, sheathed blade resting on his left hip, sleek bow slung over his shoulder with according arrow quiver strapped to his back, and two small daggers tied to his ankles.

Pokemon:



Kyo
- Male Lucario
- Knows Hyper Beam, Dragon Pulse, Aura Sphere, and Shadow Ball.
- Kyo's fur is short and sleek, giving him an almost regal appearance. His fur is a lighter shade of blue then most of his kind, and he is quite a bit taller as well. The young Lucario is very wise and generally quiet unless there is something very important needing his attention. Kyo has been with Eric the longest out of all his Pokemon and shares a close, unbreakable bond with him. So close, in fact, that they can both speak to each other telepathically when needed.


Sei
- Male Zoroark
- Knows Shadow Claw, Flamethrower, Shadow Ball, and Giga Impact.
- Sei has very long, rough fur with a small face, making him look very devious. He appears angry and sullen most times, but he really isn't. Sei is actually quite a compassionate and kind creature, but it isn't uncommon for Sei to be misunderstood. Eric was the first person to ever see past his rough exterior and see his true character. That is why they have bonded as they have. Kyo is his best Pokemon friend thus far; the two having conversations about their surroundings very often.



Saber
Female Mightyena
Knows Incinerate, Dark Pulse, Dig, and Crunch.
Saber is a very elegant Pokemon and shows this with every movement she makes. She is very friendly and energetic towards anyone she meets. However, as sweet as she is, she has a dark side too. She can be very aggressive, unpredictable, and powerful when something crosses her or when she is doing battle.

Appearance:
Standing at 6'1, Eric can be considered exceedingly tall for his age. He has dashing, ice-blue eyes with medium-length, platinum blonde hair. He is surprisingly toned for someone in his profession. Eric's arms, legs, and mid section are all very lean and muscular. He makes it a habit to work out with his Pokemon 5 times a week. From that, he, and his Pokemon, are all equally fit.

Personality:
Eric likes to have fun, but, when he is around people he doesn't know, he hides this under his serious and tough exterior. He is very charming, kind, intelligent and loyal to his friends. He is also very crafty and sly when he needs to be. Overall, he is a nice guy who has a positive effect on people he's around and the Pokemon he comes into contact with. He shares a close and genuine relationship with each Pokemon he has. As for his battle strategy, many call him unconventional, but he is always effective.

Short Biography:
As a young boy, Eric was often picked on and bullied by his peers. He had no friends growing up, which caused him to become introverted and independent. His mom was always busy with her career, and he lost his father and younger sister, years earlier, in a car accident. The only companionship he had was with the domesticated and wild Pokemon his mother worked with. His mother is a Pokemon Rehabilitator; helping heal the injured Pokemon brought to her. He loved being around every Pokemon she cared for, and for a long time, they were his only friends. Until...one late, winter night. While completing his daily chores, a flash of blue, dashing through the trees, caught his attention. Eric's curiosity gripped him tight and forced him to investigate.

He followed the figure half a mile through the trees until it came to a small valley. That's when Eric locked eyes with the creature guiding him. Piercing red eyes stared him down as its blue, dog-like body backed away into the trees. In a matter of seconds, the Pokemon was gone, and Eric began to hear painful thrashings coming from a injured Riolu in the heart of the valley. Eric rushed to the Pokemon's side, and after his attempts to help failed, he gingerly picked the Riolu up and brought him home to his mother. His mom fixed him up, and the Riolu has stuck by Eric's side ever since, even after it later evolved into a Lucario. That experience caused him to follow in his mother's footsteps and become a Pokemon Rehabilitator when he was of age. He now runs an unofficial business from his own home in Aurios.

Other:
Eric loves the night time and any precipitation that falls from the sky. During the night, he often goes stargazing with all of his Pokemon. It's a peaceful activity that helps him bond with each of his companions. In Aurios, precipitation is VERY common. The snow falling lightly to the ground, the tracks you leave behind as you walk, the soft pitter pat of water against the window, as you drift into slumber...it's something Eric has come to love and adore.

"Are there any objections?"

Name:
Otohime

Age:
???

Gender:
Female

Country of Origin:
Argent

Weapons:
She does not possess any weapons beyond her vast strength and her hair.

Pokemon:

The Binacle Knights
Binacle
Male
Tough Claws
Scald | Razor Shell | Hone Claws | Iron Defense
These half-size Binacle are very different from regular Binacle. Instead of appearing on rocks, they live in Otohime's hair. As opposed to the regular two Binacle per host, the number of Binacle seem to be more than two, maybe five, thinking in synch. They cooperate with the princess, and much like a regular Binacle controls its rock, they allow Otohime to control her hair, giving the impression that she has some power within her hair.


Ikaruga
Inkay
Female
Contrary
Topsy Turvy | Superpower | Night Slash | Hypnosis
Much like the Binacle Knights, Ikaruga also lives in Otohime's hair. She also seems to move within Otohime's hair when required, but bothers to come out from time to time.

Appearance:
She is as depicted above, and is 1.7 metres tall. Her bust size is of a C, and her long, wavy, aqua hair almost reaches the floor. She does not wear clothing items beyond a pearl necklace and a few pearl bangles.

Personality:
Otohime is a nice person who respects those who help her. She is willing to help her fellow people in whatever way they need help with, as long as it isn't too major. In turn, she wishes that others respect her the way she respects them.
If there is anything she hates, it is outsiders. After many years away from civilisation, she is fond of only her tribe and dislikes cooperating with others who are not of such.

Short Biography:
Otohime lost most of what she had when she and her family suffered a fatal storm that caused quite some trouble to a ship when she was only 14. Afterwards, she found herself washed ashore on an island which was part of the Ryuugujou Archipelago, which was off the shore of Argent, arguably part of it. The Ryuugujou Archipelago was home to a tribe lead by Watatsumi, a Seadra.
Being... kind of primitive in a primitive way, Watatsumi signalled to the rest of the Pokemon in the aquatic tribe about something. She could not understand them, so she was unaware that the Ryuugujou Pokemon believed that she was the avatar of some sort of god who was apparently in their religion.
She was treated with loyalty and respect, but hey, it could've been worse. A lot worse. She understands that these Pokemon respect her in some way, so she should respect them as well.
She spent less than a decade learning how to live among the Archipelago. Even after learning how to swim and hold her breath, she chose to live among the Archipelago.
One day, as the tribe travelled, they noticed that some rogue Pokemon began acting... abnormal, maybe even attacking the tribe members. As blood was shed and the battle over, Watatsumi had to address some matters.
It came to be that the tribe realised that there was some odd phenomenon, and anyone could be a victim.
Otohime knew that a problem was brewing, and deemed that she had to go.

Other:
She stores many items in her hair, from food to Pokemon.
She will be met during the journey.
She can hold her breath underwater for a long time.
She keeps her Pokemon in her hair and channels their attacks through it.
She is an excellent swimmer.

"There is balance, and there is imbalance..."

Name:
Tachibana

Age:
27

Gender:
Male

Country of Origin:
Pheonicis

Weapons:
Triple-wielded odachi. Two on his hands and one in his mouth. They are made of used evolutionary stones that have lost their effects from catalysing an evolution, but they are still as durable as thousand-folded steel. They are made from Water Stone, Fire Stone and Thunder Stone respectively, which while rare, are common where he comes from.

Pokemon:
N/A

Appearance:
He is about 1.8 metres tall and ties his long hair up in a ponytail. He is slightly muscular as well.

Personality:
Tachibana is a serious man who does not normally fool around. However, this does not mean he is completely devoid of emotion. Tachibana has a caring side towards docile Pokemon and innocent people who only mean good. He will aid foes as a last resort, should they have a common goal.

Short Biography:
Tachibana's parents died when he was 13, many years ago, for reasons he refuses to speak of. Since then, he had travelled until he reached a little forest, where he found a village within.

The village, however, was not inhabited by humans, but inhabited by Eevee and its various evolutions, coexisting in a community, creating cottages with their different abilities. It was like a fine utopia for Eeveekind. There was only one other human living there though - Yukinoshita. Yukinoshita lived among the various Eeveelutions and was older than Tachibana.

Yukinoshita cared for Tachibana as he practiced his swordsmanship alongside the inhabitants of this village, allowing his many sword skills to be inspired by the various inhabitants of the village.

At some point, Tachibana and Yukinoshita had a little marriage as a sign that they loved each other, surrounded only by their little woodland friends. They then had a child, Kinoshita. When their child was merely a month old, Tachibana set out on a journey to become stronger.

He then hears of a campaign about the kingdoms uniting to defeat a common, unknown threat. Hearing this, the Ronin chose to volunteer, while his wife stayed to care for their child and village.

Other:
Tachibana invented the sword technique 'Subamegaeshi', which acts like the Pokemon Move Smack Down, except it slashes instead of smashes. It was invented when he was pondering about how to strike a fast-moving Taillow in mid-flight.
This move is designed to work of flying units, but works on grounded units as well. Great speed is invested as the first strike cuts upwards to cause imbalance to the opponent. The second strike strikes down to halt the movement of the opponent. The third, ultimately, is a downwards cut to slam the opponent to the ground, mimicking a Talonflame catching its prey. These movements are very fast, that these set of moves could be performed once before a regular single sword strike slams down. However, it cannot be performed twice in a row as it drains stamina, allowing the user to only use other skills.
Most of his weapon techniques are inspired by various evolutions of Eevee, their Moves to be precise.

"Me, good. You, bad."

Name:
Faf

Age:
Unknown

Gender:
Female

Country of Origin:
Leonias

Weapons:
Nothing but her bare hands

Pokemon:

Nir
Trapinch
Male
Arena Trap
Superpower | Crunch | Sand Attack | Sand Tomb
The offspring of her adoptive parents, in other words, her younger brother. Nir is a very curious individual who likes exploring new things. He wanted to explore the world with his sister and thus chose to tag along with her in this journey. He has initiative, a lot of it. Despite this, he is more wary than you expect, and is probably wiser than his sister.


Bahamut
Skrelp
Female
Adaptability
Acid Armor | Toxic Spikes | Venoshock | Hydro Pump
Bahamut holds a high position in the Dragon Tribe, as one of the Dragon Guardians of the tribe. Despite being a Skrelp, she is quite powerful, moreso than many of her dragon peers. After Faf decided to set out on a journey after hearing the odd rumours, Bahamut was tasked by the Dragon King Tiamat(who is a Hydreigon) with looking over Faf, since she was but a human in the world of Pokemon. Bahamut is very protective of her tribe mates, that includes Faf and Nir. She puts those two before herself. Bahamut knows a lot of trivia about Pokemon species and is willing to share it with others.

Appearance:
She is about 1.59 metres tall and is completely flat in a particular department. She does not like wearing clothes. Her skin is as pale as depicted, and her hair is long enough to reach her lower back. She has minor abs.
A necklace with a black scale and white feather can be found on her.

Personality:
Faf is a sweet, mature girl with the heart of a dragon. She has her pride as a dragon, and tends to stick to it no matter what. While generally sweet, she is still a 'wild child' and might attack a person or Pokemon she finds 'hostile', out of instinct. She always attacks before thinking, much like a Berserker.
Faf also loves exploring the World, which was why she volunteered to go.

Short Biography:
Faf does not know much about her history.
The Dragon King Tiamat rescued a baby from... something he never really specified. Afterwards, he entrusted the baby to two parents who were capable of caring more than he could - an Escavelier and a Flygon.
They were members of the Dragon Tribe, and as the title said, it was a tribe consisting of Dragon Pokemon of all varieties. They travelled many places like nomads, but always preferred the cavernous lands of Leonias. Faf was raised as a dragon, not a human, and thus, lived like one.
One day, one of the Swablu messengers arrived with a message in human writing. Tribe members who could read human translated it, only to deliver some news of a disaster that could affect them. After King Tiamat addressed this matter to the tribe, Faf volunteered to set out and stop the threat. While her parents initially disapproved, they soon accepted that their daughter was no longer a child, and was ready to rise and sprout her own wings. Metaphorically.

Other:
She can understand the speech of Pokemon.
She has enough combat skill to challenge weapon-users barehanded. She can use swords though, thanks to her father's teachings.
She is stronger than she looks, say a man who's twice her size. Yeah, that's her strength.
