Her family teased her with the name Asterd.


25


Female


Heterosexual


It's Complicated

Junior Editor at a small multimedia company called Profiteer.


First cousins to Cole. Their mothers are sisters.

Eye Color: Blue
Ethnicity: Norwegian/European/American
Body Type: Athletic and well-toned
Fashion: Sundresses fill up most of her closet.



Geeky ~ Awkward ~ Sweet ~ Naive ~ Kind-hearted ~ Oblivious

Growing up Astrid was always shy. She was the one who stood in the corner at family events, with her legs crossed and eyes to the floor, attempting her best to not draw any attention to herself. Often soft-spoken, Astrid has grown into herself and does her best to speak out. There are many things that fly over her head, like jokes and flirting. Being bit of a geek she sometimes forgets social cues in a way that causes her nerves and anxiousness to kick out.

She is generally a sweet, sweet person, but again, with age she has learned to be more refined. Astrid still carries her heart on her sleeve, the kindness oozing out of her, but that once naive wallflower has blossomed into a naive sunflower in a field of roses.



Astrid was born and raised in New York City along side her then best friend and cousin, Nicole. They lived in different boroughs of New York City, but Astrid's family visited quite often as their mothers were sisters, and close ones at that. Having mothers who were each other's best friends made it a no brainer that the two cousins would end up being the best of friends too. Their friendship was built on family and innocence, but it couldn't always last forever.

It was during her transition into middle school that Astrid and her family moved away for her father's new job. It took them to the other side of the country, on the bright sunny, sandy shores of California.

Living in California was hard for Astrid as everyone there was tall, beautiful, and talented, not to mention sun-kissed skin was something she was not blessed with. Astrid was the complete opposite. She was a shy, awkward, timid girl with big, bright red rimmed glasses to top it off her hair was always in a pony-tailed mess. And the whole thing with sun screen protecting someone from burning, that wasn't a thing for Astrid as no amount of sun screen protected her from becoming a tomato after a few hours at the beach.

It wasn't until high school that Astrid began filling in and finding herself. She found a comfort and outlet in writing and became quite independent and good with it. As time moved on, so did the relationship between Astrid and Cole. They grew up in different directions, Astrid hearing of her cousin's adventures and antics from their mothers weekly phone calls or the every so often they got a chance to speak and catch up.

Wanting to find a way to be more like Cole, Astrid began studying harder than ever, doing whatever she could so she would be able to go to college in New York City to be closer to Nicole. But to her surprise they ended up doing the opposite of one another, with Cole heading to California for college and Astrid going to Cornell in New York.

College were the years that Astrid truly blossomed into a person she could be confident in. People, more so boys, started noticing her more. She grew into her red-rimmed glasses and her messy blonde locks began to curl and wave. A lot of help did come from makeup, but having no real skill in applying it to herself didn't make too much of a difference. Her striking baby blues were always a plus to have too when it came to catching the attention of others, but no matter how much she tried, Astrid was still the shy, awkward girl she knew she was.

Her confidence only showed when it came through her writing, so after graduating from Cornell she found a job at a small multimedia company as an editor. She has been there since then, having found a steady job that pays well, with a mission she believes in, but still hasn't found any confidence in herself.

Even if they grew apart Astrid was ecstatic, with her heart exploding with joy, the moment she was invited to be one of Cole's bridesmaids for her wedding. She had met the groom Darien a few times when they were younger, but vaguely remembers him, or so she likes to mention.

But nonetheless, Astrid was blessed to be part of the wedding and not to mention she probably deserved a bit of a vacation and some time to have fun.


Astrid's parents are: Roel and Lili Nygaard.
Astrid has a brother who is two years younger, his name is Armand.
She has tried Tinder, but was too afraid to actually meet anyone as she's heard stories and isn't one to have a one night stand.
Surprisingly has a liver made of diamonds, she can hold her own when it comes to drinking.

Noah Perfecto Malubay

25

Male

Heterosexual


Dark chocolate brown hair and a matching pair of chocolate eyes accompany the chiseled face that Noah was gifted. He was a student athlete in high school and college, swapping from gymnastics to wrestling once he entered high school and continuing on the sport in college, which is how he was able to maintain a solid, muscled physique. He has broad shoulders and a body made of stone, but since his time out of school and sports he hasn't been maintaining the ideal physique he once had.

Noah has a pretty basic fashion sense. He likes solid colors and plain clothing, never really trying anything too eccentric or far out. He can often be found in a pair of jeans, joggers, or shorts, sneakers in toe, with any basic button up or tee, and possibly a jacket. Simple tastes for an even simpler man.


Cut from a cloth made of cotton candy, Noah is your genuine sweetheart. He is kind and caring with a heart made of pure gold. The young man is dependable and trustworthy, who's always on the path of the straight and narrow. But all that goodness that fills his body, heart, and soul makes him too cautious and safe, to the point of plain boring. His naivety shows a lot in his real life experiences as taking risks is a scary leap that he isn't always willing to take.

Noah does try his hardest to get the approval of others though, as he is a selfless man who often times sees himself as worthless to other people. As confident as Noah can seem outright, internally he is a boiling, smoldering mess. He does what is asked of him and doesn't complain, most of the time doing more than what was even requested, but most of the time that still isn't enough in his mind. And that eats at him.


Born and raised in Fresno, California was truly a blessing for Noah. His parents immigrated from the Philippines and worked hard to create a safe and secure environment before starting a family. Noah was born with a twin sister named Marie, who grew up to be the complete opposite of him. She was loud and obnoxious with thick skin and an ambitious spirit, something Noah always envied. The two grew up inseparable and were best friends out of the womb.

Life in California was good for Noah as he grew up and had many friends, good grades, and was talented in athletics, having found a calling in both gymnastics and wrestling. Thankfully with a scholarship, due to his hard work in high school, Noah was able to get into a great school which brought him to NYU, where he worked towards and graduated with a degree in Advertising. In college was where Noah met the love of his life, Reagan, the one he knew he was going to spend the rest of his life with. She was beautiful beyond compare, with a stare that could suck out your soul and a tongue that could cut diamonds. He was also lucky enough to make one of the greatest friends, if not THE best friend, Osmond Wright.

Out of college Noah worked at a large advertising firm as an account associate, but found that it wasn't what he had expected. The new college graduate thought it was going to be flashing lights and glamorous in the corporate world, but it was the exact opposite. So Noah left, which was not something he often did. For the first time in his life, Noah did something for himself, and that shit blew up in his face.

Leaving his great paying job at the agency came with a lot of costs. Reagan decided that with no financial security and the dreams of a big house in the Hamptons gone, she dropped Noah without much of a thought. So down on luck for doing something selfish for once, Noah turned to one of the other people in his life that he knew he could count on, his best friend Ozzie.


  • Noah just started work at a multimedia production company, Profiteer, that produces various podcasts and broadcasts a radio talk show. They also have a following on different social media platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, etc.
  • His job title is of a Producer, something he never really thought he'd be.

Name
Ezra Potts

Age
19

Gender
Female

Starter Pokémon
Ivysaur

Home Region
Alola

[ ❇ ] C H A R A C T E R I Z A T I O N
Appearance
Milky, pale skin, bright, watermelon-pink hair, and jade green eyes define the youthful woman. When on the go, she ties her ruffled pink hair into a up-do ponytail, ready for whatever comes next. Her slim, athletic body is usually covered by a black or white blouse and a cute, blue vest or button-up, finishing her outfit with a pair of matching blue-jeans. She considers her style simple and cute, not really having a strong sense of what is in-season or fashionable.

Personality
Ezra is filled with curiosity and energetic spirit. She does what she can with extreme gusto, more times than not doing before actually thinking. She has a peppy, can-do attitude and outlook on life, sometimes coming with a bit of annoyance to others. Ezra tries her best to see the light in all situations, no matter how dark.

Background
Originally Ezra's family lived in Celadon City, Kanto but moved to the Alola region when she was five years old, where she was raised since. Growing up on Melemele Island, Ezra attended the Pokemon School where the principal was Samson Oak, the cousin of the well-known Kanto Professor Samuel Oak, him having a well-respected name of his own in the study of Pokemon variations.

Attending the Pokemon School turned out to be a blessing as her curious nature was highlighted by her teachers and peers. As time went on and her studies gradually evolved, Ezra was offered many opportunities and a once in a life time internship to study alongside her principal Professor Oak. Being able to study the regional variants of Alola and comparing them to the Pokemon of her birth region of Kanto was her main area of study during her time as an intern, under the watchful eye of Samson Oak.

As the years went by, her curiosity grew, which made her seek out new opportunities and adventures. Pulling some strings with old connections and friends, her mentor was able to get her into another field of study with a friend in the Orre Region along side Professor Krane who studies Shadow Pokemon.

Arihito Arthur Kaneko

26 May 22nd Male

Fukuoka, Japan
___________________________________
Assistant to Jesse King
Character Summary

Personality
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Being the over-zealous, go-getter he is, Ari strives to excel in whatever he is part of and whatever is asked of him. Having the mindset that hard work pays off, Ari strives to showcase that by taking whatever opportunities he can to be able to use it to his own advantage. Every moment he can seize can be a stepping stone to success.

Deep down the millennial is full of self-loathe, hurt, and angst, brought on by his drive to succeed. He expects the world by working hard and wants to do it his way, with no handouts. There are times when he can seem off-putting to others as he is goal-oriented, but sometimes his laser focus determination shows off as an arrogant asshole or just a plain snob.

Under all the layers, Ari genuinely is a sweet, loving guy who just wants to do right by his friends and family.

Appearance
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔

Background
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
Arihito was born and raised on traditional values of his father and grandfather who taught him everything he would ever need to know. His mother, the silent rock that lifted him all throughout his life, taught him what real love was, which was one the thing he cherished the most. Ari's father was Takahiro, a chairmen of one of the largest broadcasting companies in Tokyo, a position he had inherited from his own father, Shiro. With the Kaneko clan having a second generation on the board of Eastern Classic Group, they were going to continue the tradition with the only son Takahiro was able to have in Ari.

Being raised by both his father and his grandfather's standards gave Ari a strong sense of direction. The road might have already been paved for him, but that didn't stop the Kaneko men from teaching and disciplining Ari in whatever they could. He was trained in traditional Japanese martial arts as a form of respect to his culture, also instilling a strong sense of discipline for the young man. Soon though, with sports becoming a major part of his life, Ari found a passion in baseball, something that surprised his family.

Training all throughout his time in school, Ari became an up-and-coming talent and was scouted and sought out after appearing in both the Spring and Summer Koshiens all throughout his high school career. Of course, Ari decided, or rather was forced, to attend university instead of entering into the Nippon Professional Baseball league. He was given an ultimatum of either attending university to finish his studies or to be disowned by his family and lose out to all the resources they had. To his luck though, he was able to attend Hosei University and continue baseball as it was one of the schools that were part of the Tokyo Big6 Baseball League, a collegiate league for the surrounding universities in Tokyo.

At Hosei Ari studied and graduated with a Business degree, by his families decree. After graduating Ari finally did something for himself, giving his family an ultimatum of his own. He wanted to join the NPB and play and would join the board of trustees and become a chairmen for EC Imports without complaint once his father was ready to retire.

Reluctantly and barely agreeing to his terms, both his father and grandfather agreed to them, allowing the young man to follow his dreams. He soon joined the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks as one of their many pitchers and played for two years, up until an injury that left him unable to continue playing.

With his dreams of becoming a professional athlete shattered, Ari spiraled down out of control. He abused drugs, money, and women, tarnishing any sort of respect that he had built up before. Ari was given one last chance to refocus himself as his father agreed to ship him off to California in an effort to put his son's degree and drive to good use, by the convincing tongue of his mother.

Once in California, Ari took up odd-jobs in whatever companies would hire him. A lot of it was fluff work until his father stepped in, again by the request of his mother. Takahiro pulled some strings in the Asian-American entertainment industry and Ari was given a shot to work at one of the budding social companies in Los Angeles.

Starting from the bottom of the barrel, he worked hard, but always managed to make sure to play just as much too. Ari managed to catch the eye of Oskar Andrea, one of the Co-Founders of Honey Lake Records at a charity event held for Asian-American artists in LA for his strong planning and work ethic for a successful event that he was offered a job with the record label. The position was small, but it was a start to something worthwhile.

Miscellaneous
▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔
▶ Ari is a hāfu. His father is Japanese and his mother is European-American.
▶ Ari's position is Pitcher.
▶ In his second year of being part of the Softbank Hawks, he injured his arm, having torn a muscle. He had gotten surgery, but quit the team as he knew his potential was shot after the injury.

Name: Noel Dowling
Age: 24
Race: Beorc
Gender: Male
Affiliated Nation: Daein
Class: Soldier
Inventory: Slim Lance; Javelin


Personality: With a youthful glow and bundle full of energy, Noel has a high spirit that is always rearing to go. He showcases a strong sense of dedication and loyalty to most, doing what is asked of him. He believes that doing and knowing your role will help any situation, but will do more than asked if need be.

Often fair-minded, Noel now takes every single detail into consideration when coming up with a solution, whether the means are good or bad. Growing up he was taught that justice should prevail and override everything but he has learned the hard way that sometimes being just doesn't mean you are being fair to all.

The facade that is the warm and bright face of Noel hides a deeper, darker young man full of self-hatred. In his mind, Noel has given up most of his humanity, believing that death comes for him for the sins that he has done. But the visage he carries is polar opposite of his inner demons, making sure no one knows just how truly sad and empty his shell is.

Background: His story starts off like most of his countrymen in Daein. His father, Ronan, was a soldier in the Daein military living his life protecting his motherland. His mother, Ellyn, was a devoted housewife who took care of the family while his father was off serving the country. Noel went to school up until the twelfth grade and enlisted into the military just like his father and most men in Daein. But before shipping off for training, Noel fell in love with the girl-next-door, Alyse, and married her.

The young Daein man went off to train for one year, training hard and following orders is what he did, but writing weekly letters to the love of his life is what kept him grounded. It was during that time of his training that his wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who she named Éowyn. It was a year after his training that he was allowed to return for a month before being shipped off yet again to continue his service.

During his homestay he made it worth his time, spending every minute with his wife and daughter, happily spending as much quality time he could before it was too late. This was a continuous cycle up until he turned twenty-three and his world flipped upside down.

Up until that point, Noel was loyal to Daein, doing everything that was asked of him. He spilled blood for his land, he defended it off from both laguz and beorc raiders and bandits, and never asked for anything more. One day he woke up in a cold, sweat from a feverish dream that had Alyse calling out for him to protect their daughter, and Éowyn crying and calling his name over and over. There was a pain in his heart as tears began rolling down his cheeks, sitting there in his barracks, trying to catch his breath.

The following days after his nightmare, no weekly letter came. Noel asked for a service leave, something he never imagined ever taking as he knew that his father had never done it and wanted to follow in his footsteps, but the aching feeling in his gut and the piercing in his heart knew he needed to head back home.

Upon returning home Noel was struck with the news that his whole family was taken by the stationed platoon that patrolled the surrounding villages. He did whatever he could to gain access to his wife, name dropping whoever he could, showcasing his awards and listing his own services, but to no avail was he given access to his wife or any news of his daughter, even his mother had disappeared without any notice. Attempting to contact his father was useless as he was on a tour throughout Crimea, building relations with their fellow beorc nations.

With no news and no sightings of any of his family members, paranoia began crawling through his mind and weeks passed. What was the reason his family was taken and why was no one talking to him about it? One night changed it all, the night of the Harvest Festival when every person got drunk in celebration of the Autumn harvest, that Noel broke into the jail that his suspected wife was being held.

Once inside he frantically searched each cell for his wife, his child, or his mother, but was only greeted by the grim faces of other prisoners who begged for forgiveness and for a chance for freedom. Their pleas were followed by lies as each person whispered sweet news of his wife, but only if he would free them first. It wasn't until he met with a large, burly man who Noel knew was not of Daein.

The man stood heads above Noel as the metal bars of the cell divided them.

"She was killed, months ago."

The words struck him, his heart ripping in half as he became breathless. Why? Why was Alyse killed? Those questioins flew through his mind, but the man behind the cell could see in his eyes the burning questions Noel wanted to ask.

"The woman you are asking about, she was undesirable. Undesirable to all, both your kin and mine. She comes from a fallen lineage, the tainted ones."

"Was there an older woman or a girl, a little one with her?"

"No."

Again tears fell down his cheeks as his eyes became bloodshot, tightening a grip to the knife beside him as he struck it through the man behind the metal bars in a swift frenzy. "I'm sorry."

Noel left the prison that night changed. He had one thing on his mind, to find his daughter and protect her at all cost. His dream that he had of Alyse was a clue, that she was alive and that she needed to be protected.

Twenty-five — Beorc {Spirit Charmer} — Swordmaster

Personality: Cunning and intelligent, Martel never takes action without thinking thoroughly through the situation at hand. He is creative, crafty, and can be a bit devious but is willing to meet an end goal by any means necessary, in hopes that it will affect the least amount of people. Martel is also highly-educated, coming from a well-off family in the Begnion Senate. With having had such a studious and just nature growing up, Martel can come off as a bit of an arrow, always flying the path of what he considers righteous.

Martel is self-less, always thinking about the betterment and safety of others before his own, having been taught that every life is precious. He wants to see growth and prosper for all of Tellius, always one to want to reach a goal of everlasting peace. Deceit is something the young lordling despises, but hypocritically uses himself. At first glance, most people see Martel as a sickly, thin man under his robes and garbs, but he manages to play it off pretty well too. He uses it to his advantage when others think he can be walked all over, but in reality he has grown up to be a strong-willed, physically capable, and talented young man.

Commanding a very focused mind, there are many times he is sought out for leadership by those his age who are looking to make a name for themselves. He emits a warming aura and one for the growth of a person. Young adults like himself seek out his sagely advice, but in reality the young man is just as broken down and self-conscious as the others around him. Martel is able to just play along confidently enough that he can slyly walk on through.

History: Martel was born in Begnion to the Alba family. They live in Albany, near the capitol city of Sienne. The Alba's are one of the oldest families in the Senate and have stayed some of the most loyal to the Apostle as well, with Martel being no different. In his family history it is said that they are distant relatives to the royal family, having the possibility of having royal blood running in their veins. Martel is a non-believer in which he hopes that they don't because with that kind of power running in your veins then more troubles would lie ahead for those generations to come.

Growing up, Martel was a very sickly child. He would often times be running high fevers and would be on the brink of death it seemed. Things had gotten somewhat better as he aged, but still being bed-ridden for weeks on end as a toddler. It wasn't until he was about a teenager when his parents had taken him to a church hidden in the forests near the Begnion-Daein border that he had miraculously overcame all his illnesses. As a young teen, that specific memory faded into darkness, having it shine on through every so often as a dream. That was also the time during which a mark appeared on his hip that he was told to hide from the eyes of others. Martel was also informed by his parents that he must continue acting like a sickly, young man for if he didn't the eyes of all those around them would be prying away at the secrets that they are trying to hide.

From then on Martel continued the act of being an ill and physically weak young man for the sake of his family. Behind the scenes and away from the deceitful eyes of the other families of the senate, Martel was being taught many things by wise sages and taught by the finest of swordsmen, having gained a talent for sword arts.

To this day, even now as an adult, he is still seen as a meek and frail young man, but Martel learning and doing what he can in order to help create the change in the world that he wants to see.

COLOR CODES: 545361 | 3D55B9

Name: Efraim Ong
Alias: Eidolon
Age: 21
Occupation: University Student (Senior)

Species: Human
Ethnicity: Korean (50%) / Euro-American (50%)
Gender: Male
Height: 180cm
Weight: 80kg

Efraim is a smart, serious young man. He would usually keep to himself but was somehow convinced that joining the team would make him a better hero. He hates being in the spotlight, so having a team take all the attention has helped him just live in the shadow, doesn’t help that his powers are strengthened in the dark. He is genuinely kind, but would rather just stick to himself as he’s always in his own head.

His powers are of ethereal origins, but are jet black. The dark energy covers his body, almost as if he’s engulfed by shadows. He’s able to phase through most physical objects with ease and can control the shadowy energy around him with ease, using it at will, creating blades, beams, orbs, and rays of dark psionic energy.

Name: Zooey Franklin
Age: 22
Gender: Male

IGN: Zeus
Race: Elf
Class: Assassin

Zooey is a graduate student by day and streamer by night. He does what is asked of him by his parents, going to college, passing his classes, and getting a degree they wanted him to get. He does this as long as he gets to do his hobbies at the end of the day. With his off time, he's usually on stream gaming whatever is most popular or trying his hand at live-streaming his cooking (which he is terrible at, but it brings in the views).

His on-stream persona is exactly like how he is off-stream, he's fun, flirty, and outgoing, willing to take risks and have fun while doing it. Of course when Ascending Frestia came out, he signed up as a beta tester and was one of the first to reach the maximum level. He's a grinder and he isn't afraid to show it.
