Name: Jurius Veniri
Age: 29
Sex: Male
Orientation: Straight.
Place of Birth: Adasto, Capital of Venirin

Appearance:
Jurius was born with white hair, a trait commonly found within Venirin’s royal bloodline and he has brown eyes like his late mother. Jurius is 1m81 (5’11”) tall, weighs 76 kg/167 lbs. and has a toned body from regular exercise. He prefers formal clothing without too many frills, especially black or white outfits.

Personality:
Jurius is callous and domineering, focusing his efforts mostly on pursuing goals that all but his most trusted generals barely even know about. He is generally unconcerned about the common populace, believing his stewards capable of maintaining order while he’s focused on “more important things.” Despite his curtness he’s honest, perhaps to a fault. He doesn’t beat around the bush or hide his opinion, and even when addressing the public he doesn’t make pretenses about the state of affairs. His determination is rivaled by few.

Skills:
Military Strategy
Economy
Politics
Swordsplay
Archery (Crossbows)
Hunting

Inventory:
King's Blade (One-handed Sword)
Shield of Venirin
Regent's Plate Armor
Formal Clothes
Exquisite Cloak

Background:
Jurius was born and raised as crown prince of Venirin. From a young age he's been taught everything he needs to know to rule, from economy and strategy to Pokémon battling and swordplay. His father further ensured that Jurius was taught discipline, but between his father's duty to rule and the numerous things Jurius had to study, the two rarely had the opportunity to spend time together.

Not having taught Jurius compassion would eventually prove to be king Karos' biggest mistake, when Jurius declared the expansion of Venirin. In doing so he started a war that would last over a decade and cost thousands of lives of both people and Pokémon.

Pokémon: Goodra
Nickname: Goodra

Ability: Gooey

Item: Dragonium Z

Bond: Jurius is close with his Goodra, more so than he is with any human. When Jurius was born his father gave him a young Goomy for companionship, and they’ve been together since. Unlike Jurius, Goodra holds no resentment toward the late king Karos. In another contrast to Jurius, Goodra is quite enthusiastic and often distracted. Regardless, it’s happy to follow Jurius anywhere.

Name: Dante
Age: 20
Sex: M
Orientation: Heterosexual
Place of Birth: (I'll have proper descriptions of a few villages once I'll put up the OoC)

Appearance:
A tall man dressed like he belongs in the upper echelon. A further inspection he is wearing thick clothes and leather. He has long blonde hair that is tied up at the back. If you were to reveal his hands they are look discolored and burned on the palms. His eyes are a deep blue with a messy ring of hazel, brown, and almost red around his pupil. Definitely no pointy ears here

Personality:
Self-centered and nihilistic. Throughout Dante’s life he has been proven time and time again that the world is truly without inherent meaning. The only meaning in this world is what you give it. So care for yourself and only a few and tell the rest of the world to go fuck itself

Skills:
Alchemical knowledge
Herbalist Knowledge
Swordplay
Sneaking
Tracking
Sleight of Hand

Inventory:
An Iron stiletto
A vial of fast acting poison
An Antidote for the fast acting poison
A rudimentary chemistry kit (Basically a bunch of tubes and glass sticks
A backpack that carries his clothes
Leather armour and heavy wool clothing

Background:
Dante came From XXXX. He was raised by his mother and father. Things were good until hi father had to leave to join the war efforts. His father quickly died in battle and none of his belongings returned. His mother quickly remarried because she couldn’t support herself on her own. From there both his mother and Dante suffered from the man she married and from the siblings. Dante’s mother did not let this happen for long until she slit her new husband's eye and ran with a cart full of goods, leaving Dante behind. Dante didn’t blame his mother for leaving him. In fact, he started to think he would have done the same. Dante started to take the majority of the abuse from his “family”. The worse it got is when the older boys dunked his hands in an acid. It disfigured Dante's hand for life, making them appear constantly burned and discolored with a green hue. However this just fueled his hatred for the aristocrats even more. He used the library there to learn of some science and mainly focused on weaponizing his knowledge. Once he knew enough he left at the age of 15. Not before continuing his mother’s work and this time stabbing his father's only good eye with a small parrying knife covered with a poison that would make the wound burn long after it would heal. He headed out and started doing as he pleased as a thief with a little bit of assassination work if he could.

Name: Alyssa Rondel
Age: 20
Sex: Female
Orientation: Bisexual
Place of Birth: Korvak, a small village on the outskirts of the Karadhor mountains.

Appearance:

Alyssa stands at roughly 5'4" and weighs 120 lb. She has a rather petite-albeit athletic-build earned by years of physical confrontations and speedy escapes. Her hair is jet black and reaches to her shoulders, which she prefers to wear down. Her eyes are a light shade of blue, and typically hold a sense of mischief that can be somewhat unnerving. Alyssa has a sort of wolfish beauty to her face, though she seems unbothered by this.

In terms of clothing, Alyssa prefers to keep things simple and practical. While she does wear some iron plate armor over her most vulnerable areas, the rest is typically adorned in either leather or wool clothing. She prefers shades of blue above all else, and is never without her dagger at her side.

Personality:

Alyssa Rondel is nothing if not an opportunist. Her eyes are always picking out a potential target, her ears always listening for the jangle of coins in someone's pocket. Her "personality" can shift on a dime, whether she needs to be the damsel in distress or the stone-cold outlaw; whatever persona will benefit her best, she'll take it. And yet, behind this practiced deceit, Alyssa is simply another desperate citizen of Venirin driven to extremes by the war. She's learned to make do with even the most bare of necessities, whether it's food or coin. However, Alyssa certainly isn't a helpless victim. Years of thievery and robbery have hardened her to the realities of her situation, making her somewhat prideful and ruthless; her first priority is always herself and her Pokemon. While she has no qualms about using violence, she isn't one to jump to murder. She also does her best to prey mostly on the wealthy, though she will steal from anyone if necessary.

While Alyssa mostly works alone (save for her partner Pokemon), she has joined short-term gangs and bandits for a quick score. In dealing with others, she tends to be rather curt and straightforward, unafraid to voice her opinions. She tends to be impatient and dismissive, with little consideration for the feelings of others. On the rare occasion she decides she likes someone, her tone will have more biting sarcasm and dry humor than before. However, she has a hard time expressing her deeper emotions, tending to remain secretive and reclusive.

Skills:

•Knife/dagger fighting
•Sleight of hand
•Stealth
•Tracking (people)
•Deceit (charming, lying, etc.)
•Lockpicking
•General athleticism (running, stamina, etc.)

Inventory:

•Stiletto dagger
•A set of pin/tumbler lock lockpicks
•Iron plate armor (only back and chest)
•Leather armor
•Wool clothing
•A cloth knapsack
•A small stash of bread

Background:

Alyssa Rondel grew up in a small village on the outskirts of the Karadhor mountains, simply known as Korvak. The land was inhospitable and harsh, unkind to farmers and livestock; most of the villagers made their living as coal miners. Alyssa herself was born into a family of these coal miners, growing up impoverished, but not altogether unhappy. At the very least, food was a reliable presence; however, everything changed when war rocked the citizens of Venirin. Suddenly, every able-bodied villager in Korvak was charged with supplying coal for the army, leaving none to be traded with the nearby farming villages. In short, the people began to starve.

With both of her parents constantly working-leaving her with no adult supervision-a famished Alyssa began to turn to less savory means of getting food. At ten years old, desperate to help both herself and her parents, she learned to take advantage of her innocent appearance to steal food. Slowly, she developed a penchant for sleight of hand, slipping in and out of people's pockets without them noticing. Food stands also became a target, with Alyssa learning how to avoid people's lines of sight. However, as the war progressed and resources became more scarce, the villagers became more wary of thieves. This forced Alyssa to escalate her thievery; she began to steal from passing soldiers and wealthy travelers, and even carried out break-ins within her village.

And yet, like so many other sad stories, Alyssa's life spiraled even more. The intense coal mining eventually caused the mine itself to collapse, killing many of Korvak's adult population as well as many of its working Pokemon; this included both of Alyssa's parents. As a direct result of this event, Korvak fell further into poverty, with little sympathy given to the remaining villagers. Alyssa, sixteen and orphaned, was now alone with no one to take care of but herself. She decided to leave Korvak, taking her skills as a thief and burglar with her. Over the last four years, she's diversified her skillset somewhat, taking on mercenary work and learning to defend herself. She also began to stage more elaborate attacks, sabotaging supply caravans and traveling merchants.

Pokémon: Riolu
Nickname: Lucina (appearance)

Ability: Inner Focus

Item: N/A (She has a green bandanna, but it's entirely cosmetic)

Bond:

Like all Riolu, Lucina has the ability to read the auras and emotions of others. This is what has primarily allowed the two to be so close and communicative; Lucina can react quickly and appropriately to Alyssa's emotions without forcing her to admit to them. While Alyssa tends to be very harsh and abrupt with other people, Lucina tends to bring out a softer side of her. Lucina understands when Alyssa needs alone time or companionship, and the two are practically inseparable. While the two are both somewhat cold and reclusive, Lucina is a bit more childish, tending to be easily excited and overeager. However, Lucina understands when situations get serious, and knows to react accordingly.

Lucina, like Alyssa, is somewhat hardened by the harsh environment of Venirin. Alyssa found Lucina two years ago, fending off scraps of food from scavenging Spearow. Having been largely alone thus far-and feeling a twinge of sympathy for the Riolu-Alyssa figured she could at least try to help. Unlike many of the wild Pokemon she'd encountered, the Riolu seemed to understand right away that Alyssa wanted to help. The two managed to drive off the attacking Spearow, saving the food scraps. At first, Alyssa simply left the Riolu behind, figuring that a wild Pokemon wouldn't voluntarily accompany her. Yet, the Riolu could sense an intrinsic loneliness in Alyssa; she followed her for several miles, persistent despite repeated dismissals. However, the true test of loyalty came when a roaming cutthroat attacked Alyssa, taking her by surprise and nearly overwhelming her. Without hesitation, the Riolu jumped to Alyssa's defense, helping her drive off the assailant.

It was then that Alyssa decided that, perhaps, the both of them had better chances of surviving if they were together. And in fact, the Riolu seemed to agree. Alyssa named the little Riolu Lucina, after a female warrior from a storybook she'd liked as a child. Despite the immorality of her actions, Lucina became a loyal companion to Alyssa, helping and protecting her no matter what.
