[color=FF69B4][b]Name:[/b][/color] Professor Noah Magnolia
[color=FF69B4][b]Age:[/b][/color] 32
[color=FF69B4][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Man. He/Him.
[color=FF69B4][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Pink hair with pink eyes to match, Noah is rather on the pale side. He has a height of 5’9’’ and he has mostly a slender build. He’s got a good layer of muscle underneath, but it’s hard to tell with his clothes on. He’s got a few scars at various spots on his body, but they are covered up by his clothes. He keeps his long pink hair in a ponytail most of the time, but on rare occasions will put it in a bun. He can often be seen with a modified front pack baby carrier on, one that he uses to carry around Pokemon eggs that he’s trying to help hatch.
[hider=Optional Appearance] [b]Contest Outfit:[/b] A pink and white coat tail suit with a much longer coat tail (that is separated).
[color=FF69B4][b]Swimsuit:[/b][/color] Black speedo with some black sunglasses.
[color=FF69B4][b]Hot Outfit:[/b][/color] Mostly stays the same as his regular outfit, just removes the lab coat.
[color=FF69B4][b]Cold Outfit:[/b][/color] Wears a simple black shirt and black pants, a long white coat similar to [url=https://i.etsystatic.com/24100781/r/il/6b98d5/3373234440/il_fullxfull.3373234440_5m5w.jpg]this[/url] design.[/hider]
[color=FF69B4][b]Hometown:[/b][/color] Diamond City, Starre
[color=FF69B4][b]Role:[/b][/color] Professor & Adventurer
[color=FF69B4][b]Personality:[/b][/color] As a child, Noah was a quiet, introverted child. Being a child genius, he never spent much time with kids his own age and mostly kept to himself. He found himself struggling to connect with people and found himself getting along better with Pokemon instead. For a long time, he was rather aloof and stoic, but ever since he started his work as a Professor in Beryl Town, he’s found himself slowly growing more accustomed to people and developing an attachment to some individuals. He still values Pokemon over people, but his views are slowly starting to shift.

In social situations, Noah is rather a mixed bag. As a professor, part of his job is dealing with the public. Tragically, he (generally) hates dealing with people. Fortunately, he’s learned over time the best way to get through most social situations is smiling and keeping things cordial. But if given the opportunity and he forgets himself, he will open his mouth and say something very rude and blunt. He must put in work to keep things tactful, and sometimes it’s a genuine struggle when others are just being straight up foolish.
 
Noah can always be seen smiling, even when he’s not happy at all. But behind those pink eyes is a man who’s thoroughly bored with life. Very few things challenge him anymore and very little surprises him now a days. He decided to go on a Pokemon journey to spice things up and make up for the Pokemon journey he wished he could’ve gone on as a child.

[color=FF69B4][b]Background:[/b][/color] Noah was born to a very well-off world-renowned surgeon and a world-renowned scientist, both of whom had high expectations for their son to be equal to them, or even better, surpass them in talent. Fortunately for them, Noah was a child prodigy. Mathematics, sciences, languages; he could tackle nearly any subject thrown his way. He graduated high school at twelve and completed his first master’s degree at nineteen. He would later come back to university and get two more master’s degrees over time.

As a child, Noah always wanted to be a Pokemon trainer, but his parents disapproved, believing it to be barely a career and ultimately beneath him. So instead, he chose to become a Pokemon professor, which they tolerated. He did an internship overseas, but later came back and was hired by the Starre Pokemon Institute, aka the Institute.

Noah enjoyed his work at the Institute, but often found himself bored and would often go away for periods of time and forget to tell anyone he was leaving. They wouldn’t dare fire him for it, but eventually they scolded him enough times so that he learned to tell his coworkers and the people working for him in advance when he was about to leave. This year, he made plans to leave at the starting of the League Season, planning to take a journey for himself...somewhere.
[color=FF69B4][b]Talents:/Weaknesses:[/b][/color] Noah’s biggest talents are in academics. He absorbs information and can process and calculate it very quickly. He has a well-versed knowledge of Pokemon and everything about them. In terms of what he’s not talented in…that would be cooking. Having been born to a rich and wealthy family, he never had to cook a day in his life, and no one ever taught him.
[color=FF69B4][b]Aspirations:[/b][/color] As a Pokemon professor, it’s Noah’s duty to take time to fill out the Pokedex for his work, but otherwise he wishes to pursue both the Pokemon League challenge and look into becoming a coordinator. But most of all, he just wants to have a good time.
[color=FF69B4][b]Other:[/b][/color] Noah doesn’t have a particular preference to certain Pokemon (types/kinds), but he is mildly more curious towards rarer Pokemon as they have much more limited documentation compared to the more common Pokemon.

[b]Personality:[/b] Adamant. Kit is too curious for his own good. He likes to pop out of his ball much to the chagrin of his trainer. It takes time for him to warm up to other people and Pokemon. Noah had Kit since he was hatched, so Kit has a very strong (if not possessive) attachment to Noah.

[color=FF8C00][b]Name:[/b][/color] Magdalena “Mags” Specter
[color=FF8C00][b]Age:[/b][/color] 23
[color=FF8C00][b]Gender:[/b][/color] Woman. She/her.  
[color=FF8C00][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] With long flowing ginger hair and blue eyes, Magdalena stands approximately 5’7’’. She is wearing a pair of black shorts with black suspenders strapped over her white buttoned top with a green bowtie, wearing a pair of black and teal stockings with black heels (which she often swaps out for black tennis shoes) and a pair of white gloves. Unlike the image, she doesn’t have a tear drop on her face (it’s facepaint). She can often be seen carrying around a black and purple backpack.
[hider=Optional Appearance][color=FF8C00][b]Contest Outfit:[/b][/color] Magdalena plans to create custom outfits that match her Pokemon for contests, but she does have one general “contest outfit.” It’s a small black dress akin to something like [url=https://cdn.commercehq.com/commercehq-store-cb353ebeb8defda9f0ef1ceea4c55c95_da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709/large_01f033a24c264b5a9c3c61f5f96bf11f_0055-black-milkmaid-short-dress-with-puffy-sleeeves-01.jpg]this[/url] (minus the pearls). She has a pair of black spool heels she wears with it. She ties up her hair in a ponytail. 
[color=FF8C00][b]Swimsuit:[/b][/color] Mags has one swimsuit: a bikini with a print of a Gourgeist’s face on the bottom piece and on the top piece it is a picture of two Pumpkaboo faces that cover her pumpka-boobs.
[color=FF8C00][b]Hot Outfit:[/b][/color] The same as her current day outfit, just without the stockings.
[color=FF8C00][b]Cold Outfit:[/b][/color] A purple jacket with black pants, black gloves, and purple tennis shoes. She has a purple and black striped scarf to accompany the look. [/hider]
[color=FF8C00][b]Hometown:[/b][/color] True origin unknown. Grew up in Obsidian City (Starre region) most of her known life.
[color=FF8C00][b]Role:[/b][/color] Adventurer
[color=FF8C00][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Magdalena is loud, out-spoken, and brash young lady. Growing up on the streets of Obsidian City, she learned what she needed in order to survive; how to be tough and doing what needed to be done in order to make it to the next day. Having spent most of her early years in and out of bad foster homes, Mags greatly values independence and freedom and hates feeling “caged.” She is wary of gifts and people who do things for her with nothing in return. She knows everything comes at a price and nothing is ever truly free, so people who act like that make her nervous. 

Mags has a temper. Growing up, it was so bad that she earned the moniker “Mad Mags” for all the fights she would pick. But in Obsidian City, if you didn’t have the right (nefarious) reputation, you were a prime target for harassment. Nobody bothered Mags. Nobody smart, at least.

Mags is as stubborn as they come. She escaped twenty times from her various foster homes before Granny Mae helped her get emancipated at seventeen years of age. Having endured years of those horrible foster homes, Mags developed a deep distrust towards authority figures (with some notable exceptions) because of it.

Mags doesn’t have good manners and often acts very crudely. She speaks rather bluntly and when confronted about her rudeness, merely argues that she is “telling the truth.” She doesn’t like liars but will absolutely lie to save her own skin. While troublesome, Mags values loyalty and can be counted on at least being a loyal friend, assuming you can befriend her. She is rather prickly and paranoid which can make it difficult to break through her shell.

[color=FF8C00][b]Background:[/b][/color] Magdalena’s earliest memory is waking up in a hospital, alone and having no idea where she was. She didn’t know who she was, either. Scared and confused, she quickly got out of the hospital bed and made a run for it. She heard screaming and shouting as people in white chased after her, but they weren’t fast enough. Whatever the reason she was there for, she would never find out.

Magdalena didn’t last long on the streets before being picked up by social services. They gave her a name and a home, but something about it wasn’t right. A troubled girl, she fought her foster parents tooth and nail and was quickly proven to be too much to handle. They then had her shipped to another foster house, then another one, and then another one; each one being worse than the last. It got so bad that Mags started running away from her foster homes and would get caught and brought back each time. 

Finally, one day, she succeeded. Or rather, her foster parents gave up on her. But Mags was free, but she was now on her own. The money she stole from her foster parents didn’t last long, so she quickly turned to stealing to get by, whether it was stealing from stores directly or pickpocketing random people passing by. Regardless, she had a steady gig for herself and made do.

One day, she passed a store selling TVs and saw footage of a Pokemon Contest being held. She was entranced, watching all the glamorous people and their Pokemon perform on stage. Specifically, she was impressed with Elizabeth Hampton, a master rank coordinator who specialized in ghost Pokemon. Mags fell in love with ghost Pokemon right then and there and swore one day she would be just like Elizabeth Hampton.

But to become like her, Mags needed a ghost Pokemon. Problem was, Obsidian city was full of dark types instead. She looked around all sorts of nooks, crannies, and alleyways before finally stumbling upon a ghost type Pokemon; Mimikyu. Mags couldn’t afford a Pokeball at the time, and the Mimikyu was not feeling friendly and had a temper to match hers. But after numerous feedings and bonding sessions, the Mimikyu soon began following Mags around, much to her delight. She named the Mimikyu, “Mim.” Once she could afford a Pokeball, she was able to convince Mim to join her permanently. The two became inseparable since.

But one day, at age seventeen, Mags was doing her usual pickpocketing routine with Mim, when she picked the wrong pocket. Specifically, she picked the pocket of Miss Granny Mae, who caught the girl red-handed as she tried to snag the woman’s wallet. Mags tried to run, but was quickly caught by some gang members who worked for Granny Mae. They brought the girl to the old woman on her orders, and Mags was shaking in her boots. She knew she was in trouble. 

To her surprise, the old woman treated her kindly. Told her to not make dumb decisions and be more careful in picking her marks, but no scolding otherwise. Granny Mae even offered her a job as her assistant, to which Mags hesitantly accepted. The old woman even helped her get emancipated and her own apartment, all of which Mags was deeply grateful for, but also incredibly suspicious of. Why was the old woman so nice to her? Mags didn’t know what to make of it, but she played along.

Working with Granny Mae was a great opportunity for Mags. She learned how to cook and bake from the old woman as well as the innings and outings of running a gym were like. It was through working for Granny Mae that Mags realized what she wanted: to be a Ghost Gym Leader one day. But to do that, she needed to be a better trainer and catch a lot of ghost Pokemon, none of which she could do in Obsidian City.

So, she ran away. Upon hearing that the Institute was giving away free Pokemon and stuff to trainers for the beginning of the League season, Mags left Obsidian city and made her way to Beryl town, taking Mim with her. However, she didn’t tell Granny Mae she was leaving, which she knew was a mistake she couldn’t come back from. Nobody crosses Granny Mae. Mags felt guilty about it, too. Granny Mae did so much for her, but she didn’t think that Granny Mae would let her go if she tried to tell her.

No, she’ll deal with the consequences later. For now, she had dreams to fulfill. 
[color=FF8C00][b]Talents/Weaknesses:[/b][/color] Mags is good at singing, cooking, baking, sewing, and pickpocketing. Sadly, she’s too self-conscious to sign in public. Her sewing skills have only lately begun to blossom as she previously couldn’t really afford nice fabrics on a regular basis. Her biggest weakness is keeping her loud mouth in check.
[color=FF8C00][b]Aspirations:[/b][/color] Mags’ main goal is to show people how great ghost Pokemon are. She wants to be the Champion of the League, but also win a Master Ribbon at the Pokemon Contest Halls. She dreams of one day becoming a ghost gym leader. She is not particularly motivated to fill out the Pokedex but will do so to help her find all the ghost Pokemon she can find, capture, and train.
[color=FF8C00][b]Other:[/b][/color] Mags paid to have her last name changed to Specter. Her previous last name came from one of her foster families, which she hated and didn’t get along with so she changed it as soon as she could.

[b]Name:[/b] Mim
[b]Type:[/b] Ghost/Fairy
[b]Gender:[/b] Male
[b]Personality:[/b] Rash. Just as temperamental as his trainer, Mim is feisty and tends to pick fights with other Pokemon if left to his own devices. He tends to fuss a lot and he and Mags will often “argue” with one another. Being Mags’ first and (currently) only Pokemon for a long time, he’s not used to hanging out with other Pokemon and isn’t very good at socializing. Although often gives a lot of sass and grumbles, he likes to help out with small tasks like cooking (specifically vegetable prep, he loves chopping with the knives…).
[b]Other:[/b] He hates Pikachus after a little girl ditched him for one in the past and will attack them on sight. He doesn’t like it when people touch his hood and only allow Mags to when it needs repairs.
