Name: Regis Ingram
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Appearance:
Typically wears a pair of slim black sun glasses, a grey jacket with a black and white poke ball logo on the back, his trainer bag is also likewise black with a yellow stripe down the front down to the lower right corner. He wears a white t-shirt with his mom's logo plastered on it. His look is finished with a pair of black sweatpants, and white shoes.



Personality:

While many would call Regis a number of things including blunt, tactless, and forceful he means well at the end of the day. Regis is mature beyond his years, and has learned through trial, and error what it means to raise, and care for pokemon. Most kids his age learned for themselves what it means but his parents drilled into him a sense of professionalism. He is an adult now, and he acts like it. He doesn't tend to lash out, he doesn't get angered easily, and his cool and calm sense of self makes it hard to make him flinch.

He is for all intents and purposes very much grown up in his sensibilities, and actions. However this came at the cost of him not being able to make friends easily with humans often finding himself lost in having to relate to others on an emotional level like he can with pokemon. His tendency to appear stoic tends to frustrate him as he would genuinely like to help others on a more personal level but he finds that he is unable to. So he tends to shrug, and offer his advice wanted or not. This being said he is not one to stutter, or hesitate his father's training leaving him ready to go, and always ready to show his true self off. He doesn't show mercy, and he doesn't falter its all out or nothing.

History:

Born and partly raised in Driftveil City he was use to the rustle, and bustle of life as it was. Driftveil was a bustling but all together smaller city in Unova. His life typically revolved around pokemon his mother being a professional contest trainer, and his dad being an elite ace trainer. He was given many opportunities to learn from his mother, and father who both wanted him to grow up to be the best trainer he could be. Driftveil is where he spent his younger years growing up and learning exploring the places his mom would go to refree, and the odd occasion where dad took him to visit friends in neighboring cities.

As days grew by he found himself naturally gifted with the world around him able to direct pokemon, and give them his absolute best so they could grow up to their full potential. Of course this came with the caveat that his dad was the one doing most of the heavy lifting but being able to experience pokemon in many shapes, and forms allowd him to get an early grasp on how pokemon were personally. His talent was shown off in school as he excelled at battling practically in mock trainer battles. Though he won more than he lost he did lose frequently leading him to wonder if he would ever be as good as his parents.

Around the age of 12 Regis moved to Kalos and settled down with his mom who had gone to Kalos in order to help expand their horizons in regards to pokemon contests. His father often traveling meant that it didn't truly matter where they'd live he'd come and visit often. Regis in his new environment discovered his weakness of not being very good with humans. He isn't able to pull the best out of people like he is the pokemon his dad had helped him raise by his side. In this quiet city of Vanville Town he was met by nice locals, and even managed to meet up with some kids roughly his age and formed a sort of companionship with but he wasn't entirely sure he actually was friends with them.

He always felt closer, and more comfortable around pokemon. The day his journey came was one that he looked forward to but despite hitting past the point of normal kid's first outing as trainers he stayed behind to learn more. Regardless the day has come where he will seek to learn more about himself and others. Maybe he'll get a hang of what humans are actually like. His pokemon was given to him as a gift from his dad on the day he was ready to leave. Teddiursa, his first partner, and someone he looked straight in the eyes and called him partner.

Species: Teddiursa

History: Born and grown up with Regis Teddiursa was presented as a gift to Regis on the occasion that he becomes a trainer. He had known Regis before hand having the young lad help him raise it briefly as a baby but now they're partners.
Other: This Teddiursa has very dark brown fur compared to the usual one with a scruffy older appearance, and a notable scar on his right cheek from a former battle.

Name: Grace Pascal

Gender: Female

Age: 18

Appearance:

In a region known for style, Grace's unkempt appearance ironically makes her stand out. Small and slight, with unassuming features, round glasses and messy dark green pigtails, she cultivates the nerdy bookworm look, wearing high-necked blouses, baggy cardigans and simple skirts. If the colours and patterns don't match, ehh, who cares? She's got better things to do than fret over the latest fashions. She typically carries herself with more confidence than you'd expect, although sometimes her wistful side will show when she lets her guard down.

Personality: If Grace could describe herself in one word, it would be unapologetic. She strives to be the opposite of the popular, stuck up, image obsessed Lumiosians she's known - without acknowledging this can make her just as judgmental and arrogant as they are. She prides herself on her achievements, academic skills and independence, using this sense of superiority as a defense mechanism. Rarely will she admit to her own mistakes. Basically, she thinks she's more mature than she is.

While her abrasiveness doesn't make her many friends, she doesn't care, or at least she says she doesn't. She thinks most friendships between humans are fake and fickle, and only Pokemon are trustworthy. Besides, she's more focused on web design/graphic design. However, she does often find herself reminiscing about her former friends from long ago.

History: Grace grew up in Lumiose to a Pokeball engineer mother and a freelance artist father, who both nurtured her creative and intellectual side. To ensure she got a good education, they enrolled her at the best school they could find. While balancing studies with a social life wasn't easy, and the shy, awkward personality she had back then didn't help, she was lucky enough to meet some good friends who accepted her into their group.

For a short while, they were happy and carefree, however that wasn't to last. One close friend, Andre, as the son of two movie stars, quit to pursue his own acting career. She tried to hold on to those who were still around, but the teenage years changed things, and others' life events started getting in the way of their former bonds. She'd have become completely withdrawn if not for a group of girls who took pity on her.

At first, she got along well with the confident and charismatic ringleader Camille. Sadly, Camille and the others turned out to be the kinds of people who built others up only to tear them down. Their interests changed to gossip, skipping school, and other risque behaviour expected by their peers. Grace would hear them trash talking her outfits behind her back. When she confronted Camille about it one day, her so called friend later responded by stealing her phone, showing everyone the "outdated and geeky" games on it. She spread rumours about her, and blabbed secrets Grace had confided. The bullying got so bad, Grace was eventually moved to a different school.

From then on, she decided to become the antithesis of the snobs who'd screwed her over so badly. She gave up on anything remotely fashionable and deliberately cultivated a bookish look. She glared at people from over textbooks if they laughed at her, and sometimes even if they didn't. She made no secret of her interests. Her attitude was "you all may be obsessed with the latest phones, but some day I'll be the one making the apps". Not wanting to risk betrayal again, she stayed at arms length from most people. She kept vaguely in touch with some others from Andre's group, but over time lost contact as it became clear they'd drifted apart. To cope with isolation, she threw herself into studies, as well as her hobbies of programming and digital art.

That her standoffish attitude concealed loneliness wasn't lost on her parents. On the day Grace turned sixteen, her mother gave her a Pokeball containing a Porygon. Grace and the Porygon, Vertex, became inseparable over the next two years. It was during those years that Grace considered becoming an official trainer, to prove her skill. To herself, that was! She was above caring what others thought, wasn't she?

The opportunity presented itself in an unexpected way when a letter came through the mail. Reading it brought a swell of anger. Andre, who'd abandoned her and the others for his fifteen minutes of fame, now had the nerve to invite her on a Pokemon journey? She had a good mind to refuse, and go it alone.

Instead, she ended up at Vaniville, not knowing what had gotten into her and only hoping she didn't regret it.

Other: Secretly a fan of Pokestar Studios movies. While she'd never admit to liking something so mainstream, instead claiming it's to "study special effects" or "compare them to the books" if anyone finds out, deep down she does admire talented actors. And the movies starring Andre make her nostalgic every time.

Nickname: Vertex
Species: Porygon
Gender: None
Personality: Smart and curious, Vertex loves to learn about the world, and meet others be they human or Pokemon. They're particularly interested in digital devices, and like to explore them in data form, sometimes accidentally corrupting files in the process.
History: Gifted to Grace on her 16th birthday by her mother, Vertex has since then provided as much emotional support as their limited programming can bring.
Other: The whites of their eyes are light blue.
