Name: Kaizer Drachen

Age: 55

Status: Rallen Knight's Academy Headmaster

Appearance: Kaizer has the visage of an aged warrior. When he's not wearing his usual armor, his body is covered in a variety of scars from the many battles he's fought over the years. His hair has begun graying over the last few years, leaving him with a salt-and-pepper coloration. His eyes are a striking grey. Despite his advancing age, Kaizer's body is still in peak physical condition due to training and working out at every possible opportunity.

Personality: As one would expect, Kaizer thinks of himself as little more than a warrior for the crown. He claims it's not his place to think or question orders, but truth be told, he's much wiser than he lets on. He rarely, if ever, jumps into battle without thinking through his plans, and makes it his mission to ensure every soldier survives the mission, sometimes even at the cost of his own life and limb. He's long since considered retiring from the service, finding a wife, and settling down, but he takes his job at the academy with the utmost seriousness and has come to consider the children at the school to be his own in a mentor sort of way. Despite this, he has a record for being a strict and demanding teacher and will not accept anything but the best from those put under his charge.

Biography: Kaizer was a model soldier from a young age. Coming from one of the poorest areas of the Rallen Region, he joined the military after his father's death as a means of providing for his mother and younger sister. Shortly after joining, it was discovered that Kaizer had the potential to use the Unity Phenomenon and he found himself whisked away to the Knight's Academy where he was partnered with a small and sickly Charmander which he nickamed Ignis.

The other students - many of them noble's children - mocked the duo for their ragged appearance and lack of proper training, but this only strengthened Kaizer's resolve to prove himself. In three short years, he rose through the ranks of the Academy, voraciously studying and training at every opportunity until he graduated at the top of his class in the final year, now with a powerful Charizard at his side. Together, Kaizer and Ignis found themselves at the forefront of several battles that helped to expand the boundaries of the Rallen Region and the two became legendary heroes in the eyes of the people. Kaizer even was said to have once caught the attention of Princess Sophia, the king's eldest daughter and future Queen of the region.

After twenty-five years of service, Kaizer and Ignis found themselves being honored with a new opportunity. A commission from the now Queen Sophia to return to the Rallen Knights' Academy as the new headmaster and oversee the training of the incoming students. In addition, he was charged to open the doors of the academy so the chance to become a Pokémon Knight was more accessible to the peasantry of the Rallen Region. Kaizer graciously accepted the offer and has held the position to this day.

Partner Pokémon + Unity Abilities: Kaizer's partner Pokémon is his Ignis, his Charizard. Ignis started out as a meek and sickly Charmander, but grew into a more refined and confident persona as he evolved. Currently, he serves as an ally and mount to Kaizer when he needs to get around the region. In battle, Ignis is widely considered to be one of the strongest Pokémon in the royal army, having never retreated from battle a single time.

When using Unity, Kaizer receives an armor that shares Ignis' strength with his own. A single punch from Kaizer in this form has enough power to knock down a castle wall (Focus Punch/Seismic Toss). In addition, Kaizer is able to use a limited amount of magic to conjure flames, which he typically summons into his palm and unleashes a plume of scorching fire (Flamethrower). He would later modify this ability and become capable of generating lightning attacks as well (Thunderpunch) Finally, the cape on the armor is capable of splitting into a pair of wing-like appendages that allows Kaizer short range gliding when airbore, but he needs to generate the altitude first.

- Flying with Ignis
- Waking before sunrise
- Cold Showers

Dislikes:
- Nobility other than the royals
- People who take advantage of others
- Fish (or at least the smell)
- Ghost-Type Pokémon

Quirks:
- Kaizer has received the nickname "Old Dragon" during his tenure at the academy. Despite being a joke, he actually accepted the moniker, often using it to remind students that he's still got more than enough strength to whip them into shape.
- While it rarely happens, Kaizer and Ignis have been known to get into fights with one another over various - and usually menial - issues. When it does happen, the pair are so evenly matched with each other that their fights can last for hours on end.
- Kaizer has an immense tolerance for alcohol. According to other faculty members at the academy, he once drank three tankards of ale in one sitting and showed no signs of intoxication.
- Despite her being married with children, it's been a long-held rumor that Kaizer and Queen Sophia had a romance in the past. Kaizer has always denied these rumors, but one student swore that he found a miniature portrait of the queen sitting on Kaizer's bedside table when he snuck into the headmaster's bed chambers.

Age: 16, almost 17

Status: 2nd year student at the Knights' Academy

Personality: Alan is pretty extroverted. He's not afraid to solicit strangers for conversation and loves getting people to laugh or smile. He'll often gas people up as a "sincere joke", and is pretty thick-skinned. Although he doesn't hate losing, he likes winning more, and has a bit of an ego. At times, he can be stubborn or confrontational, but he's hard to make genuinely mad. He doesn't take much seriously other than battles, which he takes extremely seriously, sometimes even when he's trying not to.

Biography: Alan had a rather ordinary childhood. His mother was a Knight of Rallen and his father ran a flower shop. They had a large garden in their backyard where they grew most of the flowers, and it attracted a variety of pokémon to their home. Eventually, however, at the age of 14, he and his father got caught up in a plot against his mother made by Decree. They forced their way into their home, busting down the doors and eventually attacking his father. Alan didn't know what to do. His father told him to run, and in the panic of the situation, he did. Though, As he thought it through, he wasn't confident he could escape trackers with Unity powers for long. Perhaps that was just an excuse not to leave his father behind, but he decided he was either going to save his father or die trying. As such, he went to the gardens and beseeched all the pokémon within for help. They were all pokémon he had known for much of his life, pokémon he grew up with, but most weren't confident they could take on the intruders. He still hadn't managed to trigger the Unity phenomenon, and as much as he tried, he couldn't rally the pokémon to attack together. Time was of the essence, so he gave up, cursing the pokémon, calling them selfish and ungrateful, but just as he turned around, he found a Spewpa quietly waiting behind him. He knew this one; it was the son of his mother's Butterfree. It wasn't exactly what he was looking for, but beggars can't be choosers, and at least it could use Protect.

He rushed back into the house, carrying Spewpa, and immediately put himself between the assailants and his father. Spewpa managed to block a single attack for him and retaliate with Stun Spore, but he knew better than to expect much from him. Right after guilt-tripping the other pokémon, he wasn't about to let Spewpa fight an unwinnable battle, so he never let go of it, protecting it from every attack that came their way. He knew the only way they'd make it out alive was with Spewpa's disabling abilities anyway. It was during this time when he was being cut, burned, and beaten to a pulp that he finally awoke the power of Unity, donning Unity Armor and finally being able to fight on even footing... with one of them. His father was unconscious and badly wounded, so he scattered Rage Powder to drag the fight outside, back to the gardens. Using himself as a distraction, he managed to allow his Spewpa and even some of the other wild pokémon still in the garden to gang up on the attackers. They became inundated with negative status effects, paralyzed, slowed, and struggling to inflict meaningful damage, but they were far stronger than an amateur and a bunch of wild pokémon. They eventually burned the garden down, forcing the wild pokémon out of hiding and soon after, out of the fight. They gradually beat Alan within an inch of his life, unable to land a decisive blow but having nothing to fear from him and Spewpa in return. It was only at the last possible moment, when Alan's legs gave out from under him and he fell to his knees did help arrive. His mother had come personally, and finished the assailants off with a single Hurricane, putting out the fires and leaving the arrests to her compatriots. Attending to her son was more important, but all Alan could think about at the time was his dad.

His father died that day, unable to be saved from his injuries even with the medics they had brought. Alan came to regret listening to his father, wishing he had never left him. Even if the more logical side of him recognizes the futility of stopping or even delaying the attackers without Unity armor, he never got to say goodbye to his father, and no matter how hard he tries, he can't let go of the feeling that he failed him.

Alan eventually decided to become a Knight, like his mother. Although protecting people is one of his goals, he can't say he chose his current path for purely moralistic reasons. He mainly wants revenge on Decree, seeking nothing less than their complete dissolution.

Partner Pokemon: Spewpa. He keeps an eviolite given to him by Alan tucked within his cloak and knows a variety of uncommon moves. He possesses the hidden ability, Friend Guard, and is not particularly capable in 1 on 1 battles. Contrary to Alan, Spewpa is rather reserved.

Unity Abilities: After entering his armored form, Alan gains a massive defensive boost, covering his body in a chitin-like armor and providing him with a fur cloak highly resistant to cutting forces and magic attacks. He gains large gauntlets on either hand that can emit various powders (Poison Powder, Rage Powder and Stun Spore) or create and launch webbing to help him disorient, weaken, or distract his opponents. Finally, he is capable of a small selection of magic abilities, able to channel electricity through his webbing, letting him perform Electroweb attacks. He can also create energy barriers; either a short-lived one to block attacks, (Protect) or a weaker but long-lasting one to continuously dampen attacks on an ally. (Friend Guard) From an offensive perspective, Alan's armor form does almost nothing for him, only able to poison and moderately electrify. He can simply wrestle people into submission, but this is easier said than done against armored opponents.

• Tries to be extremely positive with people. Success is mixed, and it's not always welcome, but he genuinely finds it enjoyable to ambush people with compliments just to try to get them to smile or turn away in embarrassment. Either is fine.
• Real life-or-death battles put him on edge, and although he is very confident and capable in terms of keeping calm under pressure, the stiff and serious demeanor still bleeds into his behavior in less serious battles, causing him to seem standoffish. It's a huge contrast to his cocky attitude when playing sports or games and he's been trying to remind himself to loosen up, with mixed success.

Age: 16

Status: 2nd year student at the Knights' Academy

Personality: If Calliope could be described in one word, it would be theatrical. Growing up in a family of performers has given her a flair for the dramatic. As such, she's loud and peppy, moving with exaggerated gestures, and she doesn't always get when said behaviour annoys others.

She has a deep admiration for the Rallen Knights, because of the songs glorifying them, and becomes star-struck whenever she meets an accomplished one. She aspires to be like them, however she still has a rose-tinted view of the world, believing it to be as it is in the stories. She thinks in terms of black and white, good versus evil, without realising that her heroes are flawed and conflicts are more complex than history makes them out to be.

Biography: Calliope was born into a troupe of travelling musicians. Between constantly moving from place to place, and hearing tales of epic deeds, she developed a sense of adventure from a young age. She longed to someday accomplish something great, like the subjects of many songs, the Rallen Knights.

When Calli was 12, her mother became sick and passed away, leaving her the Altaria who'd been her performance partner. Said Altaria, Seraphine, helped her cope and step into her mother's shoes, singing along as Calli composed her own songs on her lyre and performed for people.

The music played by humans and Pokemon alike in the troupe drew cheering crowds, but also attracted the wrong sorts. Some of the Pokemon, such as Clefable and Wigglytuff, were particularly rare - hence, targets for poachers. One night, a group of thieves ambushed and attacked the wagon. Calli was only 15, and had no idea what to do, but she wasn't going to just stand around and do nothing while her loved ones fought. The knights immortalised in song certainly wouldn't. As Seraphine dived into the fray, fending off the attackers, Calliope herself physically tried to pull a Mightyena off of her brother before it could bite him.

The Mightyena turned on her, but Sera saved her, knocking it away with Moonblast. That was when her Unity power awakened, an elaborate blue costume and protective cloak replacing her usual attire. With her newfound agility, she sent the thugs stumbling backwards with a gust of wind, brandishing two airy swords. The tables having turned in the troupe's favour, the would-be thieves retreated.

Shortly after the incident, Calliope was accepted into the Rallen Knight's Academy, where she now trains to be like the heroes she sings about.

Partner Pokemon: Seraphine, the Altaria. Although she enjoys singing and dancing just as much as Calliope does, she's much more calm and sedate. Since the passing of Calli's mother, Sera has taken on some maternal traits, such as fussing over Calli and fixing her hair. And of course, becoming fiercely protective if her trainer is in danger.

Unity Abilities: While Calliope's "armour" may not look like much, it's built for ease of movement, and her fluffy cloak is much, much tougher than it looks - she can use it to dampen incoming attacks, much like Cotton Guard. She can also use it to glide short distances, and channel a small amount of magic which creates wind bursts.

In terms of weapons, she gains two shortswords. Her fighting style involves a technique similar to Dragon Dance - the more she dances, the stronger and faster she becomes. She becomes surrounded by a blue aura while doing this, and can achieve up to twice her base speed and strength. However, if her dance is interrupted (for example if she's hit or distracted), the effect ends and she has to build it up again.

Finally, with a song and an effort of will, she can slightly heal one person at a time (a variation of Heal Bell).

Dislikes:

Quirks:

• Playfully treats ordinary situations as more epic than they are, for example a casual sports game.

Faceclaim:

Quote: If you have any sense at all, I suggest you get out of our way!

Name: Lillian Valecourt

Age: 17

Status: Third Year Student at the Academy

Appearance: Lillian stands at exactly six feet tall. She's used to being the tallest woman in the room at any given time. She has perfect posture, something that has been ingrained into her since young. She moves with elegance and grace. Things a princess should always have. She has a slender build, but still has a feminine figure. She was born with fair skin that does not tan easily. Her hair is long, silky smooth, and perfectly straight. It’s naturally blonde, and and her bangs are side swept. She normally wears it down, but does put up for occasions that require it. She has a heart shaped face, with a small upturned nose, and her features are soft and feminine. She has bright blue eyes, a feature that is common in her family.

When it comes to clothing, Lillian wears only the best. Her royal gowns are made from the finest silks and fabrics you can get. She wears elaborate gowns around the palace, usually in various shades of purple, the color of the Royal family. Around the academy, she wears a more practical purple dress and overcoat. It is still made from expensive fabrics most people can’t afford. On her feet are purple boots that are more comfortable than the heels she often wears around the palace. She also wears a lot of gold jewelry, as is common for royalty. Her most prominent accessory is her golden tiara that sits on her head. A symbol that she is next in line for the throne. She is never seen without it.

When using unity, she dons special armor. It is white in color, and has red and blue triangles patterns carved into it. Her entire body is covered with matching chestplate, greaves, gauntlets, shoulder pads, and cussies. She also wears tall white boots, as well as a flowing white cape, and her signature gold tiara on top of her head. She also has a hair clip of white feathers with red and blue tips on the side of her head.

Personality: Lilian is a true princess, and carries herself as such. Since birth, she was taught to be elegant and graceful at all times, and still holds herself to those standards. She's a cool, calm, and collected young woman, who can keep a level-head when going into stressful situations. Her calmness also means she doesn't openly show her emotions too often. She is very slow to anger, and if she finds something funny the most you'll get is a smirk. When she talks to someone, she'll be blunt and get straight to the point. Lilian is not shy and submissive in the slightest. She was trained to be the queen one day, which means she can't allow people to walk all over her. She will not hesitate to correct someone she deems is being rude.

Until she started attending the academy, Lilian spent much of her time on her family's estate. She was homeschooled her entire life, and taught all of the rules and expectations that come with being the future queen. She spends a lot of time alone, or with her Togekiss. She doesn't have much experience dealing with people who don't work for her. She expects to be treated like a Princess at all times, and as such often doesn't know how to respond when she isn't. She also can be a spoiled brat at times. She enjoys living the glamorous princess lifestyle, being given lavish gifts, and having wealth to spend on whatever she likes. Her mother was a well respected ruler, and she knows she has a lot to live up to. Lillian is eager to prove herself the best queen this kingdom has ever seen.

Her calm nature sometime makes her come off as cold to others, but that assessment couldn't be further from the truth. She's actually quite friendly around people she actually does know. She does have emotions, it's just that one has to try very hard to get her to show them. In conversation, she is a great listener, who will quietly and politely take in and absorb what others have to say. She pays attention, and offers advice if it's wanted. She's also very good at calming people during bad situations.

She has a fascination with myths and legends, and has read a bunch of books about them. She is particularly fascinated by Zaican, and often prays to the legendary before doing anything important.

Biography: The queen of Rallen and her husband wanted children. It was their duty to produce heirs. They've tried many times to conceive, and would either fail to do so, or miscarry. After praying to Arceus many times, the queen finally got pregnant, and carried the child to term. Queen Sophia gave birth to a baby girl.

Queen Sophia and her husband were thrilled to have a daughter, and loved her dearly. Queen Sophia is well loved within the Rallen Kingdom. This puts a lot of pressure on Lillian to live up to the standards set by her mother.

Lillian was groomed to be the next queen. She was given etiquette lessons, and given a very expansive education to teach her everything she would need to know in order to become a good ruler. Lillian worked very hard to excel. She was determined to be best queen this country had ever seen! Lillian didn't really have much time to spend socializing with others her own age. Her only friend was a Togepi named Apollo her mother had gifted her when she was young, that evolved into a Togekiss over time.

When it was discovered that Lillian and her Togekiss could achieve the unity phenomenon, she was immediately enrolled into the Knights Academy. It was important for a future queen to be able to defend her country herself after all. Despite being surrounded by others her own age, Lillian didn't have much interactions with her fellow students. She was preparing to be the next queen, she didn't have time for friends. The Companionship of her Togekiss was good enough.

Partner Pokémon + Unity Abilities: Lillian’s partner is a Togekiss named Apollo she’s had ever since she was a child. He is her closest, and honesty only companion. In addition, he serves as a mount for her in battle. Even he is gentle and kind towards his partner, he is not one to be messed with in a battle.

In her unity form, she gets a white lance with red and blue triangles on it, and small wings on the sides. In her Unity form, she gains magic over air. Whether that’s summoning blades of air to slash at opponents (Air Slash) Summoning gusts of wind that leave behind a trail of pink dust (Fairy Wind) or summoning a whirlwind that boosts her and her allies speed (Tailwind)

She can also use magic to heal the wounds of herself and her allies (Life Dew)

"That sounds dangerous...... Lets do it!"

Name: Alexander DeMarko

Age: 17

Status: Third Year Student at the Academy

Personality: Alexander seems to have an almost split personality. Out of his armor he is almost always quiet and shy, keeping his body posture closed and his eyes down. He is rather intelligent with a creative mind and a fairly good eye for art, but is so soft spoken on an average day that very few realize it. He likes to laugh and smile, but seems almost embarrassed to do in front of others. He has a hard time approaching other or making friends, and seems to have a tendency to apologize for everything.

In his armored form, however, Alexander is an entirely different person. He is fearless, rambunctious, and not afraid to lose himself in the moment. All of his fears and insecurities melt away, his self confidence shoots through the roof, and he has no problem standing up for himself or others. He doesn't understand why he feels so different in his armored form, but suspects it has something to do with the feeling of strength and freedom being in it brings him. Like he's finally able to the person he wishes he was.

Biography: Alexander is the 7th child out of 10. Born to a successful merchant family, Alexander had little to look forward to for his future. His eldest sister was first in line to inherit the family business, and it always appeared to Alexander that his other siblings were far more talented and successful then he could ever be. He grew up being largely ignored by his parents, who had too much on their plates to begin with, and had a hard time making friends since he was so shy and withdrawn.

At the age of 10 Alexander began to wander farther and farther away from his home, looking for a quiet place to sit and draw, away from the hustle and bustle of his home life. It was on one of these outings that Alexander first met his partner, a Bagon at the time, that was hanging helplessly off the side of a cliff, its mouth clamped around a lucky root that just happened to be strong enough to hold the little dragons weight. Although Alexander was terrified and a horrible climber, Alexander managed to get to the dragon pokemon and pull him back to safety. He's never been entirely sure, but its Alexander's belief that Bagon had been daydreaming about flying, and managed to slip.

The little dragon was thankful that it followed Alexander home and refused to leave his side ever since. Alexander lovingly named the Bagon Hopper and the two have been inseparable ever since. Hopper was rambunctious, fearless, and fiercely protective of Alexander. It was only
a short while before Hopper managed to evolve into Shelgon. The two would often wander the woods together exploring and finding little adventures that made Alexander feel whole and worthwhile, for at least a short time. It was on one of these adventures that Alexander's life would change forever.

While out exploring a new area, farther up the side of a mountain then the two had ever traveled before, Alexander slipped on the edge of a cliff and fell. In a desperate attempt to save his friend, Hopper jumped after him. It was at this moment that two miracles seemed to occur at once. The first, was that hopper evolved in Salamance so he could save his friend, the second was that Alexander unleashed his Unity ability. For the first time in his life, Alexander felt a weight being lifted off his chest. He felt like an entirely different person, free from his own insecurities and doubts. The form didn't last for long, and Alexander had no idea what had happened, but when he told his father what happened the aging merchant immediately understood and enrolled Alexander in the knight academy.

Alexander has done well at the academy so far, though he still has a difficult time being social around other. He had hoped that he would better understand why he feels so different in his Unity form then he does on a daily basis, but has yet to find any real answers.

Partner Pokémon + Unity Abilities: Alexander's pokemon is the Salamance Hopper. Hopper acts both as Alexander's mount and partner in battle. Alexander's armor does little for defense but allows him to share Hopper's impressive strength and speed. His enormous battle axe is able to cut through most things with ease (Dragon Claw) and in a pinch Alexander can directly increase his speed and strength by moving in a way that mirrors Hopper (Dragon Dance). With Hopper's help Alexander is able to fly high into the air and attack from above (Fly, although Alexander cant fly by himself). If ever angered, Alexander abandons all sense of himself and attacks in a blind rage. While powerful, he often feels drained and confused afterwards (Outrage).

Alexander has little experience fighting in real battles, but has noticed that in those instances after winning a sparring match or fight against another, he feels oddly stronger.

Likes:
-Drawing
-Flying with Hopper
-Exploring high places
-Adventure!


Dislikes:
-Bullies
-Almost every social interaction
-Being away from Hopper

Quirks:
- Alexander is actually a very talented artist, but refuses to show his work to almost anyone.
- The only reason Alexander's personality changes while in his Unity form is because he feels confident enough to be the person he wants to be.
-He would literally fly everywhere instead of walking if he could.

Personality / Biography

Willow is a reserved young teenager. She does not usually needlessly speak or mingle with others. This is not because she is a loner, mean or uninterested of others but actually a result of how she grew up.

Willow's family were very poor and grew up in an isolated village where they were mostly seen as pariahs. This was because of an old story about her mother in the village where, apparently, she was the cause of a young man's fatal accident. One thing leading to another mixed with superstitious belief and a few years down the line Willow's mother was branded a Witch and mostly left in exile on the border of the village.

A direct result of this was that Willow grew up secluded and mostly alone with her mother. Her father was never part of the picture, gone or deceased before she really could remember. She inherited her mother's disgraced statue and was mostly avoided or ignored at the village. Still, they managed to live a good life growing their own food and taking care of themselves just her mother, herself and their Pokemons. of those there was two; her mother's Meowstic and Willow's Ralts. The terrain they lived in was lovely and full of green and in that regard, her childhood was happy.

Their luck turned quickly, however, when Meowstic passed of old age. He had already been aged when he decided to remain with Willow's mother, so it was only natural. Her own mother passed shortly after, and life only got harder. Willow tried to stay and live like they used to, but it was unattainable on their own so she finally had to leave after a few months.

A life of near solitude left her uniquely unskilled at meeting people and she was mostly a silent girl. By this time, her Ralts had became a Kirlia and was her only companion and both of them loved and cared for each other dearly. The first time then that they achieved Unity was born of pure necessity and was a surprise. They had been living on the streets for a time and a group of bad people wanted her to leave for some reason or another and were becoming quite aggressive, so it happened. Willow did not hurt them, the simple fact that it happened caused them to flee but the phenomenon did not go unnoticed. Someone from the Academy had heard of it and soon, Willow was enrolled into it since she had the ability for Unity.

Only recently arrived, Willow is among the fresh recruits of the Academy, but is willing to give it her all despite so far keeping mostly to herself.

Partner Pokémon + Unity Abilities:



Iris and Willow have been together since they were both babies, almost. They see each others almost like sisters, and Iris especially, as a Pokemon and therefore having some additional powers, feels the need to protect Willow and sees herself as the big sister. Personality wise, she will be more confrontational than her Trainer and often jump in between Willow and anyone trying to bully her or hurt her. Despite this, she remains but a Kirlia and her actual powers are still developing.

When they use Unity, Willow bears a very light armor which is green and white in color. The armor itself is a green dress like clothing that is held into place by a leathery, white chest piece that offers light protection. Her leg guards and bracers are made of white metal and she also has shoulder guards. All of which is completed with a hood over her head, looking more like a light Scout than a fighting Knight which might be a result of her Pokemon not having achieved their final evolution yet.



In that form, Willow also become armed with a curved, Scimitar looking sword that emanates a violet glow. The blade itself does not cut physically, instead it passes right through a target causing damage directly to the mind (Psychic), yet can still be used to block physical attacks such as someone else's sword.

The rest of this form's ability are mostly defensive. Willow can summon 2 mirror images of herself which are made to confuse an enemy (Double Team). Last, but not least, she can 'blink' short distances (Teleport), although it is hard to use with accuracy and still require training.

- Nature
- Quiet

Dislikes

Quirks
- Willow is actually loving, but does not know how to express herself.

- Is somewhat...clumsy.

"Well well well, if it isn't the rookies! Let's see what you're made of!

Name: Okido

Age: 25

Status: Mercenary hired by Kaizer

Appearance: Okido would earn an odd stare from anyone living in the Rallen Region. His clothes are made from cascoon fiber and his normal armor looks totally bizarre compared to the Rallen Knight's platemail. He's typically seen wandering around in robes rather than clothing 'approved' by the Unity Knights' Academy, and almost always wears sandals. When asked, he complains, "Your tunics restrict my movement, and your boots crush my feet". At his side, he carries a sword that he claims to have inherited from his grandfather, a legendary warrior in his home region.

Personality: Okido is a rather cocky man. If he's ever lead to a fight, he will constantly brag about his achievements and battle record before initiating combat, and seems to have a strange tendency to yell when attacking. He's also exceptionally proud of his skill at training his partner as Gyarados are seen as wildly destructive and hard to control all across the world. Despite his bragging, Okido has the skill to back up many of his claims. He's a highly trained fighter and he seems to possess an innate knowledge of Pokemon that exceeds that of many scholars in Rallen.

Biography: Much of Okido's past is shrouded in mystery. What is known is that he turned up on the shores of the Rallen Region two years ago riding a Gyarados and demanding to battle the strongest warriors in Rallen. Ten of Rallen's strongest knights were sent to face him, but all ten were swiftly defeated, with Okido claiming their weapons as 'trophies'. Kaizer and Ignis were then summoned to give Okido his challenge. Their battle lasted for nearly three hours until Kaizer activated his Unity with Ignis and gained the upper hand. Right as Okido was about to lose, he called out to his Gyarados and a triggered a Unity of his own.

With this sudden turn of events, Okido lauched a powerful counterattack, taking Kaizer by surprise. Despite the sudden power up, Okido's unfamiliarity with Unity was his ultimate downfall. In his attempt to defeat Kaizer, Okido burned through his partner's energy too quickly as the armor vanished. Seizing the moment, Kaizer landed a powerful blow to the ronin's chest, and won the duel. Afterwards - much to Kaizer's surprise - Okido bowed down before him and demanded that Kaizer teach him about this new power he'd awakened. Despite his initial refusal, Kaizer was moved by the young man's dedication and his promise that he would return the weapons he took from the other knights in exchange for Kaizer's tutelage.

Returning to the academy with Kazier, Okido was taken in as Kaizer's 'apprentice' and an assistant battlemaster to the students. Many a student are enthralled by the stories of his travels in addition to his key insights into both combat and Pokémon care. While he's expressed a desire to return to his home region one day, Okido claims he won't do it until he's seen every Pokémon the world over, and mastered the power of Unity.

Partner Pokémon: Okido's partner is Genzai, his red Gyarados. He claims he caught the unusual Pokémon as a golden Magikarp in a pond outside his family home, but he's also told stories to other students about how he met the monster while sailing the seas and tamed it through sheer will. Regardless of the real story, it's clear that Genzai respects Okido and follows his orders without question. Due to it's size, Genzai doesn't live in the academy paddock with the rest of the Pokémon. Instead, it lives in a nearby lake by which Okido conducts his classes with the students. Strangely, Genzai has taken well to life at the academy and tries to get along with students who are terrified by his mean-looking façade.

Unity Abilities: When using Unity, Okido becomes covered head to toe in a samurai-like armor depicting his partner's visage. The armor offers him complete protection from a variety of blows and - on close inspection - is actually quite oily like fish scales. This enables attacks to simply slide right off him while he's free to attack as he pleases. Okido gains an incredible boost in strength while in this form, and his attacks are so fast, some say it's like fighting a wild Pokémon itself (Thrash). He can use magic to fire powerful bursts of water from either his hands, or the faceplate of the armor (Hydro Pump), and generate high velocity winds to slash his enemies (Hurricane). Finally, when he gets really angry, Okido summons all his fury into his sword and can unleash devestating energy attacks, but this has the cost of burning through his stamina quickly (Dragon Rage).

Relations

"Fascinating... I'm sorry did you need something from me?"

Name: Morgana Blackwood

Age: 44

Status: Knight's Academy Professor and Unity Scholar

Appearance: Despite being in her forties, Morgana bears the appearance of a much younger woman. This is due to her partner Titania halting her aging process. Her beauty and poise are well-known throughout the Rallen Region. She typically prefers to dress in darker colors, not wanting to attract much attention to herself. Underneath her outfit, her body carries several scars marking where she was struck by a whip many years ago.

Personality: Morgana is considered the "mother" of the Knights' Academy. Unlike Kaizer's tough love, she's often the one nurturing the students and offering insights for how to improve. However, she have an ulterior motive in this as well. While she does care for the students who are placed under her care, she also uses her position as a means to study youths capable of the Unity Phenomenon up close. When she finds some information she considers new or 'valuable', she'll often forget where she is and begin making notes in order to study them later. Thanks to her diligent research, Morgana is considered one of - if not the best - Unity Scholars in all of Rallen.

When it comes to her partner however, Morgana is... frustrated to say the least. She regrets the image of youth and beauty bestowed upon her by Titania; lamenting that she'll never get to 'grow old' with someone. In fact, she often seems annoyed when the Hatterene gets up to her usual antics of stealing Morgana's lab equipment or playing with her hair. That being said, Morgana and her partner care deeply for one another and they will ruthlessly attack when they feel the students or those close to the pair are threatened.

Biography: Morgana was born to a lower-class noble family in the capital of the Rallen Region. From a young age, she was considered the 'black mareep' of her family. While her sisters wanted to sew dresses and dream of their wedding day, Morganna could be found in their little garden, seemingly talking to the wild Pokémon. This odd behavior caused her family to look upon her as a freak and she grew up having few friends during her life. Eventually, a lack of suitors calling for her caused Morgana's family to cast her out and cut her off from the family.

Needless to say, Morgana didn't have a problem with this arrangement and happily took up life as a wanderer. She wandered the Rallen Region on foot, often falling in with bands of gypsies or other less than savory types in order to get by. Due to her research, she began to develop herbal remedies and potions for treating both Pokémon and people. In addition, she took up studying Pokémon, taking a particular interest in Dark, Ghost, and Fairy types. Over the years, word spread of the "Black Witch" who wandered Rallen.

It was this reputation that unfortunately led to her darkest moment. One night while studying Pokémon in a town cemetery, a mob from a nearby village captured her. She was brought to the town square and accused of witchcraft. When she wouldn't confess to the charges, the sheriff took matters into his own hands, choosing to strike her with a whip until she admitted to her 'wrongdoings'. As she was about to break, a Hattena that Morgana had been studying in the cemetery arrived and stood between Morgana and her assailant. In this moment, Morgana awoke her Unity Powers.

The shocked villagers, now seeing an image of beauty before them, dropped the charges and Morgana was allowed to walk free. From then on, Morgana's chief field of study was the Unity Phenomenon. In the following years, she met Kaizer and he offered her a position to teach at the Knights' Academy. While hesitant, Morgana was touched by Kaizer's sincere and friendly nature. She accepted and has long since become one of his most ardent supporters.

Partner Pokémon: Morgana's partner is Titania the Hatterene. When they first bonded, Titania was moved by Morgana's predicament and blessed her with Fairy's Aura, a power that granted her an eternally beautiful visage. In addition, Titania has a reputation for being something of a prankster, often getting into schemes to distract Morgana from her work. While it seems malicious, Titania does it from a place of love, as she doesn't want Morgana to become lonely again as she used to be.

Unity Abilities: When using her Unity, Morgana looks as though she's just wearing a lavish dress, but that is a dangerous misconception. In this form, her magical abilities are magnified tenfold. She is capable of firing all manners of spells from her staff. Among them, she is capable of unleashing powerful bursts of light to blind her enemies (Dazzling Gleam), and slamming her foes with telekinetic force (Psychic). If any foes get too close to her, Morgana can even turn her hair into a living weapon and strike her foes with brute strength (Brutal Swing). Lastly, she has the ability to tune out everything around her and hone her focus onto a single target, increasing the damage she deals (Calm Mind).
