Name: Jasper Ricard

Age: 29

Profession/Trade: Steam/clockwork Engineer/weaponsmith

Skills/traits: Mark’s true passion is small devices. Clockwork gears in perfect sync are music to his ears. He has been tinkering since he was a small lad rebuilding a broken pocketwatch received from his grandfather. He taught himself most things, but with his family's tight budget he filled his thirst for knowledge by earning a factory job repairing the steam hammers and other heavy machinery at Aecron Dry Docks. Though he’s a master of small devices factory equipment is rather easy for him to work with.

Mark is no bookworm he is a doer experimenting to push the limits even if it risks his life. He’s broken bones, had the smirk literally knocked off his face, and more, but never gives up. He’s tenacious and daring a kid who sees the world as their playground.

This should not be mistake for Mark not thinking or being a fool. Instead its more a lack of self preservation. He’s happy to risk himself for everything else. If he can’t trust his work no one else can. It’s his integrity that won’t let him stop before he’s taken the jump himself.

Mark’s inventions aren’t only useful, but he has created a personal armory. He’s a wealthier man than most, and many companies would literally kill for his inventions. Despite being a member of the University of Engineering at Donnol, making all his inventions go to the University upon his death, an attempt has been made on his life before though there was no trace back to the group who hired the assassin. Mark already liked firearms finding them a fantastically fun selection of devices. This event forced him to master a number of them for self preservation. One of the dangers of knowing too much. He's gotten to be a crack shot, and the experience of fighting for his life has hardened him, driving him to become a crack shot.

-------

Mark’s fortune hasn’t left him so fortunate. He’s made more than enough money to keep his workshop open so long as he keeps working, but he has no real way to handle the money and fame. He doesn’t want tons of money, but he needs it to keep up his workshop and supply his inventions. He does not make a new great invention every week, but the rent still comes no matter what. He also has no place in the high society. He has no real friends save for the ones he has to travel down to the rail yards or dry docks to meet. He’s normally stuck alone in his workshop as even paradise came with costs.

Jasper is plagued by his need for genius his art and love at times have to be thrown aside to make the money he needs. Every company would be happy to snatch up his shop and patents cheap. As of late a lack of inspiration has left the shop empty and silent.

Equipment:

x5 pokeballs
x5 potions
x50ft of rope w/ grappling hook
x1 PickAxe (pick one side axe the other)
x1 pocket knife/multitool from the Swilad region (a gift from his uncle there. Built into it are: a screwdriver, knife, foon[fork spoon], and can opener)

Jasper has a wooden box of scrap parts for his tinkering and repairs. whenever something breaks he fixes it with parts from the box or it goes in the box.

Jasper carries a selection of his favorite inventions. He has always kept the best for himself. On his back is a compact rope holder which keeps the coil very flat against his back. He can pull out the rope to its max length, but it is tied to the machine. by tugging the rope three times it will pull the rope in. the machine is a hexagon shape about two and a half inches thick and covering his entire back. It has a clear hardened glass circle that shows the inner workings and how much rope is remaining in the device.

Jasper’s weapon of choice is a modified coach gun. The short muzzled gun is not only ornate, an image of a charizard carved into the metal to make it look like the barrels fire a dragon’s breath, but also is highly efficient. He uses pre made cartridges, a recent invention of the Entrin Military world, for the double barreled shotgun. The gun’s main modification is a small clockwork device that locks the gun from use by anyone who doesn’t know how to disable the device. Jasper isn’t fond of dying to his own invention.

He carries a sidearm in the form of a revolver with a bayonet on it. this revolver has a clockwork timer built into the hammer letting him delay it’s fire. This has proved useful in multiple events. His favorite trick involved throwing the revolver so it sticks into a wall and then fires through it to hit a target.

Appearance: Jasper stands six foot two, and has a lean but muscular build from working metal all his life. He has sharp features and a devious glare to his amber eyes.



Personality: Snide and cocky are often what people would call Jasper Ricard upon first meeting him. The man has little time for pointless chit chat about the weather and politics that don't actually change anything. Typically his way out of conversation is through casting snide judgement until the other person leaves. This is not to say he is always cold. He has his few friends though few are on the same social level as him. They know what really matters, and they are what drives Jasper: common men with a common goal. If he didn't need to spend so much to keep his inventions going, as the costs of materials only ever seem to rise, he'd be putting it all into shirring up the society he originates from.

Once you've gotten past Jasper's callous dislike for small talk you can find a very intelligent man with an answer for nearly anything mechanical. He has even recently began studying electrical devices, but hasn't had a good enough source to really work with them. Jasper is exactly what you'd expect if you suddenly gave an average boy the chance to change the world. He doesn't just sit by and wait he does.

Mark does have a temper though. He often grins and bares high society needing their funding, but would much rather lead a revolution and throw the aristocrats who keep blackening the city with their needless frivolities and really show what this era of progress could do for man and pokemon alike. He's gotten into a couple of fist fights, shot a man, and has no regrets over it. He has his beliefs and if you dare cross him you better be quick on the draw.

Background: Mark started out in his family’s small country home where they did all sorts of work through good old fashioned cottage industry, but as times changed the family moved to the city and a cramped apartment. Going from cottage industry to factory work Mark was required to get a job young finding a place at V.Con Dry Docks. He didn’t work on the ships, but rather on the heavy machinery a knowledge of gears and springs already developed from fiddling with small devices. In his off hours he provided a cheap repair service for other tenants fixing watches and such.

This business plus some of his pay being in spare parts, as per his request, allowed him to begin inventing in his very rare spare time. He knew the best had already been invented for factories, so instead he looked to the everyman and what they needed. He designed enhanced locks to stop thievery, a remote timer activated by a silent whistle, and other devices that could be used for whatever you needed. He sold a patent on the harmonic remote trigger to the military, and used that to fund most of his work. This also got him in with the right people to sell further.

After Mark earned his own workshop he dedicated himself to small clockwork and weaponry finding them both fascinating.His works are now a household name as his inventions are bought out and produced by a number of large companies. He is most proud of reverse clock-winch a device for pokemon trainers that allows them to throw their pokeballs and pull them back by winding in a length of wire attached to the ball. As the pokeballs require an impact to release the energy of the pokemon inside this let trainers throw pokeballs and retrieve them instantly. He has kept this patent closely under guard producing them himself.

His quick rise to the top from total obscurity garnered him a number of enemies. As a lone man many companies wanted to take him down and gain the rights to his patents. Jasper though preferring independence turned to the University of Donnol to protect his work and himself. This didn't come cheap though as it siphons most of his income now. He is thankful though as months later a hired gun did go after jasper. Jasper ran for weeks to avoid his pursuer but they eventually met when jasper had to go to the market for food. The assailant stared down the twenty two year old, unaware jasper was armed. In one swift unthinking motion jasper pulled his revolver shooting the man three times in the chest. Jasper felt no remorse he was ragged and tired of running. He had fought society to reach where he was a scumbag with a gun was nothing.

From that point on Jasper built his business without fear ready to kill to protect his dream. He has left the workshop to his employees to tend orders, and given business ownership to his long time friend Jefferson Tyler from unova, while he sorts his personal affairs. He still invents for the business but just can't stand Entrin's society any longer. Having heard about Palm's studies through other university members he took the chance as a way to both sure up his business with the pay and get away from it all.

Name: Inaya Saab
Age: 27
Profession/Trade: Military Medic (Trained);Therapist and Herbalist

Skills/traits:
Serene and patient can always be used to describe Inaya. Years on years of dealing with children and Pokemon alike has given the still budding doctor the patience of a nun. It takes quite a lot of complaining and whining to really push her buttons, but while she is quite calm at first it isn't unnatural to see her act a bit haughty and stubborn in certain situations. Despite that, Inaya is a hard-working, genius individual with plenty of knowledge on medical sciences and biology. She is extremely perceptive of situations, and finds it easy to stay collected and calm during stressful situations (as long as she feels she is relatively safe). Her levels of empathy seem to raise above most, and she makes for a perfect listener to those who feel stressed or mentally exhausted, and despite her cold exterior Inaya is surprisingly very selfless and caring towards those in need.

Despite all that, though, Inaya is unmistakably cold and distant to strangers and people she deems untrustworthy. She is naturally cynical, and often has trouble trusting even the youngest child at times due to these trust issues. While she is normally calm and patient, as said before, Inaya can sometimes loose herself and end up insulting those who really rattle her. She is sharp-tongued and stubborn when she doesn't even wish to be, and though she may appear intimidating and mean during the argument she quickly looses face and can fall into a slight depression after realizing how awful she had thought herself to be. Going off this, it is quite easy to tell that Inaya isn't a fan of herself. She has intense self-esteem issues and finds it hard to believe when others even attempt to compliment her. The only thing she has faith in is her medical skills. Other then that, Inaya is physically weaker compared to most, and fears failure and abandonment due to her family life.

Equipment:
-Thick leather corset (Acts as armor for chest and torso)
-Leather belts (2) holding:
~Used Pokeballs (1)
~Energy roots (2)
~Heal powder (2)
~Revival herb (1)
---
-Leather shoulder bag holding:
~Basic medical supplies
~White notebooks, half full
~Brass flask
~Various potions (8)
~Provisions
~ Makeup kit
---
Her weapon of choice is a baton. Though she absolutely despises fights, it is best to be armed in case of a dire situation. The baton is about the length of her forearm and heavy enough to knock the wind out of someone if swung hard enough.

Appearance:
Inaya is a girl of average looks. With tanned skin, narrow eyes, and plush lips, she could be considered a natural beauty, though that doesn't mean she goes anywhere without a thick coat of makeup to hide any imperfections. Her hair is dyed an extremely light pink, though her darker roots have begun to grow in again, and it is often tied back in a loose ponytail or bun. She has a slim, tall figure, weighing about 135 lbs and standing at about 5'6". Inaya takes pride in her appearance in most situations, but has taken a more homely approach for the mission at hand, wearing a rather simple outfit of a leather corset, her usual white coat, and striped, black and white pants. Her boots are worn and comfortable, and they were chosen due to their easy mobility.

Personality:
Inaya is a sharp woman, a sharp woman with more of an interest in peace and quiet then the rumble of the city. She strives for perfection in herself and her hobbies, and as such has quite a harsh image of herself. Though she loathes herself to the extreme, Inaya does realize her mental prowess is intensely stronger than most, and likes to think of herself as something close to a genius. That isn't enough for her, though, as Inaya is always looking for experiences to inspire and help her along her journey to help others. She isn't as perfect as she would like to be.

Though Inaya wishes to use her smarts to help others and help out the world a bit, she finds herself to be quite cynical towards people. She has trouble trusting strangers and often gives new comers the cold shoulder. She's much more akin to an emotionless doll in appearance; she is distant and vague in the way she speaks to those she doesn't trust. Getting comfortable with her freezing nature can be difficult, but once you manage to break her shell she is much more kind and decent. She is more maternal than she appears as well, and finds it to be no issue to protect those in need during dire situations. Inaya is, much like her Ralts Celty, also very empathetic towards others. She doesn't like to pity people, but she does wish to help them out by listening to their issues and figuring out why they would be feeling so glum or mad.

Inaya is quite different in a business setting, however. She acts much more professional and less distant in her office, keeping a soft smile on her face as she helps those in need, whether it be prescribing medicine for mental issues or devising herbal remedies to reduce a cough or a rash.

Inaya is very curiously interested in cute things, and has a soft spot for children and young Pokemon. She can often be found writing in one of her many journals, trying to decode a new idea she had thought up or recording new data she had discovered perhaps a few moments before. She is always looking forward to discovering new, unknown science facts while out exploring, and she hopes that this new job will introduce her to many new secrets yet unknown to her. She is curious, maybe overly so, and finds her passion to be a wish to uncover new facts for the world to see. Though her mental capabilities are strong, Inaya herself is very weak and gets winded very easily. She hates fighting, finding it much easier to talk things out rather than spill blood, and can be very stubborn at times if things don't go her way.

Background:
The daughter of a lower class family, Inaya didn't have an ideal childhood. Though her mind thirsted for knowledge and exploration, she often found herself stuck in her musty room, flipping through pages of a children's book she had read at least five hundred times before while her parents attempted to pick up the remains of their shattering relationship. From a young age Inaya knew she would have a future in science. She simply ate up whatever knowledge she could obtain, and her main motivation to pursue her dreams came from her mother. Her mother, Abalah Nagi Saab, was once a brilliant engineer, but a mistake took place sometime before Inaya was born, and many people were hurt because of it. Whether it was a faulty engine piece or a loose bolt was unknown to Inaya, her mother refused to talk about the mistake that ruined her career. Inaya, instead of prying, used her mother's anguish as inspiration towards her own goals.

Sometime during Inaya's pre-teen years, her parents split. Her father, Moham Saab, was a well-known drunk around their neighborhood, and would often verbally abuse Abalah after coming home from a night of drinking. Inaya was told once that he had been a much better man, but Abalah's mistake cost him his reputation,a nd also made him the only source of income for the house. Inaya was frightened by the thought of having someone you once loved suddenly rear up and hurt you, then leave you. The very idea of it made her shake with fear, so as a result she turned to hiding behind cold faces and embracing her emotionless attitude.

Inaya graduated high school with high marks, and found herself with a good scholarship to one of the better medical schools in the city. She studied hard, rarely finding times for partying, friends, and family, and acquired countless part time jobs to repay her remaining debts. She took up garden-keeping as a hobby, which was the birth of her eventual interest in herbal medicines, and often found herself studying psychology while glances through her medical books. Inaya took many different courses with discovering new things in mind, and one took her out to a military camp, where she was professionally trained by a military nurse and doctor. She took all of her lessons to heart, and left college with many experiences under her belt.

Sadly, Inaya found it difficult to find a stable job. Her name was well known around some of the city, a name that co-mingled with the word 'failure'. The hospitals she came to turned her away with the fear of her accidentally hurting someone like her mother, and in the end she was left with nothing more then a musty office in the middle of downtown and the remaining money from her part time jobs. And with failure looming over her head she huffed out a sigh and whispered to herself,

"Time to get to work."

She built up her office and her name, deciding to settle on a career as a therapist and herbalist for those in need. She first started off helping those for a small fee, just to build up some confidence and publicity before she started charging higher fees to keep herself afloat. She became well known as a decent therapist and an ideal, cheap medicinal herbalist.

Name: Vincent Conrad

Age:29

Profession/Trade:Ex military, hired as escort

Skills/traits:
Even though he is slow to make friends, Vincent is extremely loyal to the few who have earned that title.
While in the military Vincent was offered a transfer to the sniper corps, but instead opted for the k-9 division, where he increased his sharpshooter skills, learning to make excellent shots at close and medium range, developing his own combat style around firing into combat with his hound.
Vincent will do anything he an to get the job done, and often comes up with innovative solutions, a skill he picked up growing up on the streets
The military put him and his hound through various wilderness survival exercises, where he excelled beyond expectations.

Vincent never really had much official education, learning most of what he knows growing up on the streets, and the rest in the military.
Vincent tends to be a little closed mouthed, speaking little and usually in short sentences, causing him to seem a little abrasive.
10 years in the military has left Vincent with the feeling that he has seen it all.
Vincent has little patience for what he considers idiocy, and tends to snap at them with little to no provocation.

Equipment:
Light leather armor (Primarily protects torso, minor arm and upper leg guards)
Rifle (lever action, 5 round magazine, highly accurate)
Large knife
Pack normally holds - 5 days food/water, rope, 3 spare magazines (one of which is usually on belt, easily accesible) spare clothes, 3 potions, 2 revives, 4 pokeballs

Appearance:
Vincent is a tall man, coming in at just over 6 feet tall with a lithe, athletic build. His Stetson normally hides his close cropped sandy hair, but not his stern ice blue eyes that seem to see right through you.

Personality: A life in the military has taught the value of getting the job done right if he is going to do it at all. He may not be the smartest guy around, but he always finds a to get the job finished. He can usually find a way to take what he has and make it work, and he won't let anything get in his way. Even though he comes off as rather callous, he has his own sense of chivalry, and gets angry if he catches someone being rude or abusive, especially to women. Having just come out of the military a few months ago, this was his first major opportunity to put the skills he developed there to proper use, having just been on site security until now. He hopes that in doing this job he will find a direction for him to take his life.

Background: Growing up in the slums didn't really offer many choices for kids to lead a happy productive life, so naturally Vincent joined one of the gangs that roamed the streets, his natural affinity for violence led him to be one of the leading enforcers in a gang known as the Raptors, though he always made a point not to involve bystanders. At 17, he was on a routine shakedown when a rival gang jumped him and the brawl spilled out into the street. In the ensuing fight, Vincent accidentally injured a little girl. During the altercation, the military was called in and arrested Vincent, who didn't even put up a fight, vowing he would never allow another woman to be harmed if he could help it. Lt. Cobb, the arresting officer, sensed the potential in young Vincent, offered him a choice. Join the military, or go to jail for a very long time. Wracked with guilt he ran to the only place that would take him. The military showed him a better way, a way out. While in the military he transferred to the K-9 corps, where he developed his love for pokemon, and when he transferred out, he immediately went and caught his own. Throughout all of this he had stayed in contact with Lt. Cobb, the man to whom he owes his life, and when he had finished his second 5 year tour in the military, LT. Cobb told him of the position as security guard at the university.

Name: Marcus Trebeque

Age:26

Profession/Trade: Spy

Skills/traits: Marcus is well versed in recognizing behavioural patterns in wild pokemon and people and additionally knows how to turn behaviour, reactions and conversation into useful information. This means he has limited means of understanding expressions of wild pokemon, but he has also trained his own pokemon to communicate with similar species. Marcus has a forte in stealth and covert movements and procuring things in similar fashion and even making an escape. He earned his Criminal Psychology PhD and has been working as a spy for the last 5 years. It goes without saying that Marcus is an accredited expert in tactical, strategic operations and traps.

Due to the nature of Marcus's job, he has developed sideline skills suited to larceny. He know how to move with stealth through hostile or enemy territory. Marcus effectively know how to pull off a heist. Marcus is also very quick to decide when someone else becomes expendable without orders to do so. He is not beyond using others as bait.

However, Marcus's expertise only go as far as to address how to manipulate pokemon and people, and his actions naturally disassociate responsibility to the environment over the actions he might take for the safety of his crew or employer after they are gone. He doesn't spend time keeping and maintaining himself in the wild, so while he can control pokemon to a limited degree, he doesn't know how to survive amongst them. His skills with wild pokemon also do not translate over into competitive battling which pits his skills against another conspiring human mind.

Equipment: Burn/Poison/Sleep/Freeze/Paralysis heals, potions, escape ropes, fast balls, Chloroform&Napkin, binoculars.
