[b]Trainer Class:[/b] Musician

[b]Personality:[/b] Call her Dakota or DJ Black or even just DJ, she's the same person whether she's having an everyday conversation or working musical hardware for an audience. A natural virtuoso, if Dakota can hit something in different places to make different sounds, you can bet she'll try to make a drumkit of it. Socially, her dialect is the same as her music preferences: loud and upbeat. Ever the optimist, she's the kind of person who will try to lift the mood of a total stranger if she sees they're feeling down, or would give some spare cash to a homeless fellow if she passed one. Her theory for social activity and music are the same: "Put out your best and you won't be let down." Actually, everything social about her points right back to her musical inclinations. Even her speech patterns come off as rhythmic.

And of course, she loves to battle Pokemon. For performance purposes both on a stage and in a stadium, DJ's favorite types are Electric and Ghost. Not fond of going straight for the kill, Dakota prefers to play things slow with status inflictions (most commonly burns and paralysis) and hang on the defensive until she sees a surefire shot to end things with a big finishing blow. It may come across as her not taking her opponent seriously combined with her constantly-jovial tone, but the fact of it is that she treats every battle as though she were battling a champion. She puts out her all, and expects no less from anybody else.

[b]Backstory:[/b] Fresh out of Unova Region's Castelia City, Dakota Jacqueline Black wanted music from the start. Only possible problem in that regard was that she was and actually still is tone-deaf. So how does a musician compensate for being tone deaf? Dakota, who had decided her own name could make a good stage name as DJ Black, had two theories to how she could fix that. One: study music theory until she can simply write and know. Two: dazzle the crowd during live performances. Dakota chose to go with both of these ideas. For years, she poured herself into music theory, learning every which way and trick to know in music. She was still tone-deaf, but could at least write music people could like, and since she had a good eye, it was easy to set up dazzling coordinations of special effects. It only left one question. "Where do I get these special effects on my tiny budget?" The answer hit her at about the time she started getting into Pokemon battles.

Specifically, Electric and Ghost type Pokemon were capable of the most special effects that were controlled enough to not destroy anything or harm the audience. As some time passed, DJ Black scored a live gig in Castelia. She contacted Pokemon rental services to receive Electrics and Ghosts that fit her needs, and nobody seemed to suspect she was tone-deaf in the least. In the two years since, she's landed a few more gigs, but it's not like she's particularly renowned just yet. In her terms, "I'm in that awkward stage between [i]getting pretty popular, but not quite[/i] and [i]local hot-shot[/i]."

[b]Favorite Pokemon Type:[/b] Holds equal love for Electric and Ghost types. Her two all-time favorite Pokemon are Rotom and Pumpkaboo.

[b]Other:[/b] Claims her stage name came from a long-time fondness of Ghost-types instead of her actual surname being Black. This is a lie.
