Name: Jason Connor
Nickname: Blader
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Hometown: Jubilife City

Appearance:
Jason stands at six feet tall with azure eyes and snow white hair. He wears a red muscle tee with blue jeans and a pair of black hiking boots. He wears his katana strapped to his waist and has a lean, muscular build.

Personality:
Jason considers himself a Blade Master in the making, and has always had a fascination with swords and the attached skills. He's calm and generally very quiet, liking to learn what he can about someone or their problems before offering advice or deciding how the are. He cares deeply for his Pokemon and the feeling is returned. He often spends time training with his Pokemon personally, making sure that they're always ready for anything as well as keeping himself in shape. Once he calls someone friend, he'll protect them with his life and won't stand for any harm, be it verbal or physical, befall them. When he practices alone, it’s usually with a katana.

Biography:
Jason was born to a couple who had only been married a couple years, but who had not wasted time setting their lives on the right track. Within the first six months, the pair had bought an old Renaissance Fair that had, by all rights, been on its last legs. Many of the performers had left and found work in higher paying areas of their expertise, had forgotten why they worked the Fair in the first place, and it was the joy they brought others. Several internal interviews later revealed several more potential dropouts, who were given a final paycheck and a gentle boot to the metaphorical curb before the work to restore the Fair began.

It was a year and a half after their marriage that the reinvigorated fair reopened, though Charlotte and Reginold had found out three months prior that Charlotte was pregnant. And thus, Jason Connor came along. From the age of three, when he began to show an understanding of what was going on around him, he was drawn not to the cheers and horse whinnies of the jousting arena, much to his mother’s relief, but to the clangs and cheers of the sword duels. He found himself enthralled by the scene and as he grew older, began looking into learning how to wield one himself.

His mother encouraged this, telling stories about knights and their companion Pokemon, such as Sir Earnhert and his Bisharp, who became a Blademaster of his time, unparalleled in sword combat by any but another master.. Enthralled, it wasn’t long before a young Jason began his own quest to become a Blademaster in a modern time. First was the forging of his blade of choice, a katana, though he spent the time it was being forged practicing with a wooden one or out exploring, honing his reflexes.

It was about when he reached age ten that he was out exploring a field when he was jumped by a group of angry wild Rattatas. They knocked the startled young man to the ground and began to Scratch him mercilessly. A young Ralts, who had been passing by on his hunt for food, heard the commotion and came to his rescue, and that's when he met Slayer. The young man returned home with Slayer, feeling a connection to the young Ralts. With the katana finished forging shortly after, his father began helping him learn how to use a sword and, through intense training, he forged a powerful bond with Slayer and other Pokemon. He was traveling the world, looking to perfect his blade techniques and become the first true Blademaster of a new world, searching for Latios in an effort to learn how to increase his speed and agility, when the strange wormhole sent him to Earth and turned his life upside down.

Pokemon Team

Name: Forest Hunt
Nickname: Jedi
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Hometown: Payette, Idaho

Appearance:

Personality: Forest is a somewhat reserved person who’s rather good at socializing, but has trouble making friends that last. For the few that do stick by him despite his strangeness, he’s loyal and honest, not to mention fiercely protective.

Biography:
Born in Ketchikan, Alaska to a mother who’d not yet graduated high school and a father who had no interest in being a dad at a young age, but he was still very loved. He spent much of his early life on the move, vaguely recalling moving between La Grande, Oregon, Vale, Oregon, and Ketchikan for the first couple of years of his life. Finally, his grandparents, and mother settled in two different towns, his grandparents in Vale and he and his mother in La Grande. It was there that she met Forest’s stepdad.

The two dated until he was four, when they got married, with the young Forest Hunt as the ringbearer. He retained his mother’s maiden name when the two got married and until he was a teenager, he and his father got along. However, when he was older, he got into Pokemon, with his first game being Fire Red. He wasted no time in backtracking to play both Generation One and Two games, falling in love with Crystal and Yellow respectively. And while he did play other games besides Pokemon, he always returned to the pocket monsters whenever he needed something that didn’t make him want to grind his teeth in frustration.

The last game he played was Pokemon Pearl, before calling it quits on the series due to a sense of forced ideas he got from subsequent games like X and Y, but returned to it for a round with Heart Gold, which became another of his favorites. When the brief but powerful storm hit, he was in his room doing some indoor workouts while also binge watching the Pokemon Anime. Afterwards, he began hearing some rumors about people seeing creatures like Pokemon, but, until he saw a group of Marill floating down the Snake River, he didn’t believe any of them.

After words, he wasted no time in applying for the test to become a trainer and then soon began studying up on the generations he missed. The addition of the Fairy Type has somewhat thrown off his game, but it hasn’t stopped him from trying to get things learned and has so far done a good job with help from his wife, who encourages him to keep going even when he wants to quit.
