Here is my application for a professor role, thank-you for checking it out! This roleplay sounds like fun.
Name: Nyxia Remeyo
Age: 33 (estimated)
Region of Origin: Sinnoh
Role: Professor.
Specialisation: Herbal Medicine
Born in Solaceon Town, Nyxia's peaceful childhood was tarnished when her father, a highly respected council member of the town, became involved with a dangerous religious sect. Though the cult had seemed to be peaceful at first, Nyxia's father had slowly become entangled in barbaric rituals and pokemon sacrifices, striking fear in the Remeyo family and anyone who questioned his maniacal visions and beliefs. Eager to initiate the promising Nyxia Remeyo into his practices, Nyxia's father had begun to involve her in ritualistic pokemon sacrifices. Too afraid of going against her father, Nyxia would obey his commands, until the day that Nyxia's father had ordered her to sacrifice her own pokemon and closest companion, Ralts. Nyxia refused. It was Nyxia's mother that helped her daughter to escape her father's wrath, creating a plan to keep Nyxia in a small cottage in nearby woods, away from the influence of her cult-entrenched family.
It is in these days of isolation that Nyxia passed time by reading books that her mother would secretly leave at her doorstep. It is through books that Nyxia learnt about the world that was denied to her. Learning information about the medicinal properties of herbs and plants, Nyxia would explore the woods around her for specimens and nutrients.
These days were torturous and trying for Nyxia as she did her best to survive alone as a young girl stripped from the comfort of family. She immersed herself in the books that her mother brought to her and conducted her own experiments with the herbal samples she obtained from the forest. The barbarism of her father only made her more protective of the pokemon she came across. Day by day she would find injured pokemon within the woods and nurse them with her herbal concoctions. Eventually, pokemon had begun flocking themselves to Nyxia's cottage, which had become an oasis in the harshness of the woods.
One day, whilst Nyxia was out doing her routine analyses of the woods, she was spotted by a well known professor from Kalos, Professor Alamore -- who had also taken interest in the area. The professor had been astounded at the scholarly level of the mysterious girl's research methods and decided to approach her:
"Sorry to bother you ma'am, but are you a student from around here?"
Nyxia had done her best to avoid human interaction after her exile, she had shook her head at the man without even taking her attention away from the plant specimen she was analysing. A Rakts judged the man suspiciously, peering out from behind Nyxia's cloak.
"...Would you like to become a student?" Professor Alamore had tried again.
Nyxia paused. She turned towards the man, pulling back the shawl that shaded most of her face. Professor Alamore had not needed to hear a word from the strange girl, her ambition shone in her eyes.
Thus began Nyxia's time at the Alolan Pokemon Academy. Her scholarship allowed her to somewhat leave behind her life in Sinnoh and start anew. From the beginning, Professor Alamore had noted her as a brilliant student, though her footsteps seemed weighted by a haunting past. Nyxia had an effortless bond with her closest companion, Gallade. To the professors, the pokemon seemed to be the only thing in the world the girl could trust. Those at the academy had been inspired by this bond between trainer and pokemon, they had tried to analyse how such a bond could be replicated.
Attempts at learning about Nyxia's history with her pokemon were met with discomfort and odd, irrelevant responses. Nyxia hardly spoke as a student, she seemed to carry upon her shoulders a constant cloak of shame. The only person she would meet at the eyes would be Professor Alamore, who saw the potential in the girl's eyes and took it upon himself to personally mentor her.
Nyxia Remeyo felt comfortable around Professor Alamore, she would follow him around the campus constantly, even on his lunch breaks. He would invite her to work on his research projects, and Nyxia never ceased to disappoint. She would bring him specially-created herbal teas that she had formulated with the flora found around the academy and wait to see his reaction when he brought the drink to his lips. There was a beautiful friendship between the two of them, and they taught one another many useful lessons through their individual specialisations.
As Nyxia's confidence at the Academy grew, Prof. Alamore had convinced her to teach some classes on the topic of Herbal medicines. Nyxia had been a clumsy, awkward mess of an instructor at first, however, the students had found her strange character to be endearing and her knowledge, endless. Nyxia even surprised herself to find that she was enjoying her classes, and often caught herself thinking about them obsessively, excited to share her knowledge and relate to students in a way she had never been able to before.
Naturally, Nyxia rose to the role of professor during her time teaching. Her calculated, mature thinking combined with her odd childlikeness has made her a memorable figure at the Academy.
Today, the professor is devoted to her teaching and to her students, a part of her seeks to heal her own suffering by caring for her pupils. There is something undeniably otherworldly about Nyxia, as though she is constantly fighting a battle no one else can see. She often ponders in her own world... Sometimes sitting by a window, eating alone, and staring at something painful in the distance. Nyxia Remeyo floats about the Academy like a ghost, but with the presence of a highly-respected doctor. Her cloak seems to conceal both her slender body and her tortured past... though the professor has been known to drop details of her life story at random moments, shocking those who hear as to whether it could be fact or her twisted, dry humour.
Partner Pokemon: Mismagius ♀
Moveset: Mean Look, Power Gem, Shadow Ball, Shadow Sneak
Ability: Levitate
Bio: During Nyxia's isolated life in the cottage in the woods, she would often talk to herself to create her own company when Ralts would be asleep or out exploring. These empty musings would attract lurking Ghost-type pokemon who would attempt to terrorise the young girl and feed off of her energy. A Misdreavus was one of these pokemon, who would haunt Nyxia when she was alone or asleep, and drain her energy. After some time, the Misdreavus had realised that Nyxia had been pretending to feel fear when she was surprised by the ghost-pokemon, purely to help the pokemon find sustenance. So touched by the reckless empathy of the girl, the Misdreavus sought to do Nyxia a favour. The pokemon noticed Nyxia's obsession with books, and began terrorising nearby towns instead, draining unsuspecting book-readers and swiping their reading material in the process. Though Nyxia disapproved of the Misdreavus' means, she couldn't turn down the invaluable information that the pokemon was bringing to her doorstep. Now a Mismagius, this pokemon is who Nyxia has relied upon to develop her wide-spanning intelligence.
Pokemon #2: Tangrowth ♂
Moveset: Power Whip, Earthquake, Brick Break, Bind
Ability: Regenerator
Bio: Nyxia had encountered Tangrowth whilst on a routine expedition of a part of the forest. She had opted to rest for a moment in a clearing, settling on what seemed to be a lush patch of bundled vines. To her shock, the surface she had rested on had begun to tremor, revealing a rudely awoken Tangrowth. Overcome with terror, Nyxia had attempted to run away from the lumbering pokemon -- who was in hot pursuit. Utilising her developed knowledge of berries and herbs in the area, Nyxia had spotted a berry tree and hid behind it. The Tangrowth lashed out at the tree, causing a rain of berries to fall at its feet. The pokemon had turned its attention to its serendipitous feast. This plan had not stopped the pokemon from following Nyxia, however, who had now pledged allegiance to the girl for as long as she could supply its hunger for berries.
Pokemon #3: Florges ♀
Moveset: Moonblast, Petal Blizzard, Attract, Calm Mind
Ability: Flower Veil
Bio: WIP.
Pokemon #4: Noctowl ♂
Moveset: Air Slash, Mirror Move, Defog, Swift
Ability: Tinted Lens
Bio: WIP.
"These bodies we use are temporary... but for now you may call mine Nyxia...heehee..."
