Past Life:
A lonely child, Alexei was born the only child of an investment banker and realtor. With little time to actually care for their son, his parents often left his to his own devices. His only companions coming in the form of a loyal hound and, eventually, his collection of cookbooks and recipes. A loner during his school days, mostly due to his own social awkwardness, Alexei developed a habit of cooking or baking when stressed. Thankfully that habit is what also introduced him to a few friends who encouraged his dream of working with animals. As an adult, upon getting his degree in behavioral zoology, he got a job working at the local zoo. He truly enjoyed his time there and developed a rather close bond with several of the animals, especially a gorilla name Aisha. However it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, as a freak accident as well as a negligent parent led to a small child falling into Aisha's enclosure. Thankful the child was unharmed however with the panicking patrons and crying child, people jumped to conclusions and animal control was called. Despite arguing that they just need to calm down, and even attempting to deal with the situation himself. All it took was one trigger happy officer and an impulsive decision to jump in front of the guiltless animal for Alexei to open his eyes to a brand new world and an even newer body.

Pokemon as a Pokemon Trainer: an Adventure in Kanto

Craven

Name: Craven

Pokemon Species: Gastly

Gender: Male

Appearance: N/A

Personality: To say that his name was fitting, would be like acknowledging that the sky was blue on a clear day. Craven, like his namesake is quite timid and shy. This floating ball of nerves is especially wary of adult humans due to an incident in his past. Despite his generally mousy demeanor, Craven wears his heart on his proverbial sleeve and is quite adamant about his friends' well-being.

Biography: Craven grew up alone, essentially haunting an abandoned house. it was lonely but fine, though that changed when a young couple bought the property and moved in. Unsure of their reaction to him, Craven stayed hidden and kept to the attic as they rarely if ever ventured there. It wasn't long before the couple had a baby and what a cute one he was. Despite avoiding the parents, Craven couldn't help but seek out the child. He never meant to scare the boy but one can't control the reaction of a baby to the sight of glowing eyes in a black and misty void. In response the boys parents called in a psychic trainer to "exercise" him from the house....painfully. Upon fleeing the place that had once been home, the young gastly eventually found a gaggle of street dwelling pokemon that accepted him and has been with them since.

Anything Else: His eyes glow blue in the dark and he has a bad habit of going invisible and scaring others, which in turn scares him.

Useful information for later: Is terrified of psychics, especially Drowzee

Approximate level: 5

Attacks: Scary Face, Smog, Lick, Confuse Ray, Hypnosis

If there is still room I would love to join!

Rowan

Name:
Dra-Adzi - Rowan

Race/Gender:
Half Orc

Appearance:


Background:
Always an outcast, Adzi was quite different from the orcs of his tribe. Smaller and more nimble, features sharper than others and tusks pitifully small in comparison. It was no coincidence that Dra, the orcish word for runt was added onto his given name, it was fitting for the smaller and obviously weaker young man. However what truly set him apart from many others was his seemingly natural affinity for earth based magics, especially that of plant growth. Eventually the casually dismissals and discrimination became to much for the young man and he set out elsewhere hoping to find a place and people whom would accept him as is.

Personality:
A gentle and compassionate young man, Rowan can often come off as timid what with his habit of shrinking in on himself, trying to take as little space as his 6'3 frame will allow. A quite fellow, he enjoys simple things and is quite easily flustered when complimented or addressed politely.

Inventory:
A backpack with a Straw bedroll, personal mess kit, Water-skin and several days worth of rations, hemp rope, spare change of clothes, a whip, leather armor, a red bandana that he always wears.

Pokémon: Rust

Excited at the prospect of proving himself, Chomper gave out an excited roar as he rushed to follow the two trainers and Devastator outside. In his excitement, he failed to notice the flagstone just outside and fell, skidding to a stop just in-front of Arden.

"Alright, Chomper lets show 'em what we're made of!" Arden exclaimed as he help to right the land shark onto his feet.

Before long, positions were taken and all of the brunettes focus was on the upcoming battle. As George began calling out directions, Arden gave his own. "Try to clear line of sight with Sand Tomb, before going in for a tackle." He muttered, receiving a sharp nod "Gib!" in confirmation.

As Chomper began stomping on the ground, kicking up dust and with glowing little arms he forced small tornadoes of sand in the Bagon's direction, thankfully sparing it from the scary look it seemed to throw his way. However, the sand also reduced the Gible's sight as well so he was caught off guard by the sudden bite to his back fin. Angered by the wound that seemed to take quite a bit out of him, Chomper's eyes seemed to glow red for a moment as energy welled in his mouth.

"Is that-!" Arden muttered, surprised at the new move.

It seemed that the power was just a bit too much for the Gible as instead of releasing the Dragon Rage attack that was building, it imploded causing a bit of damage to the surrounding area. A pained cry erupted from the smokescreen that erupted as Chomper was launched a good ten feet away. Slowly, and painfully the stubborn land shark dragged himself back to his feet. Eyes clear but still determined to continue.

"Are you sure Chomper?" Arden asked, visibly worried. Though he only received a quick nod of confirmation.

@Crimson Flame I'm good with either one, a collab may be neater to look at, though it runs the risk of stalling unless the others work around it as well. Whereas post-by-post allows people to react t would clutter the IC.

After hearing the other two would-be trainers introduce themselves better, the curly haired brunette couldn't help but applaud. An action that the Gible, who had been munching away on the poke-snacks, tried to mimic before realising its small arms wouldn't meet in the middle. Frustrated, it started to hop about chomping the air instead.

"Nice to meet the both of you! I'm hoping to study pokemon myself, especially the dragon types. Maybe even spread the Hale name outside of Mercer." Arden said with a self-conscious scratch to his cheek. It took a moment for George's question to sink but, the youngest Hale responded promptly, "The ones I have are specially made for pokemon but they are edible for humans. The pink ones are the best, they're Pecha berry flavoured."

Upon brandishing the bag of snacks again, Gible stopped its tantrum turning to the brunette with wide eyes. "Gib-Gible?" It asked with a cute head tilt that nearly toppled it over. Only to be rewarded with another small handful of the colorful cubes. During this time Rory, the Professor's assistant arrived, sopping wet. Arden gave him a look of understanding and a murmured, "Been there buddy." as they listened to the explanation and demonstration.

Receiving the new gear with verbal gratitude, Arden quickly put away the gear before donning the DexWatch and pointing it toward the happy, clumsily dancing Gible beside him.

"Gible, the Land Shark Pokemon. It attacks using its huge mouth. While its attacks are powerful, it hurts itself out of clumsiness, too." The feminine, yet mechanical voice of the device said, earning a disgruntled "GIBLE!" from the aforementioned creature.

"It's alright Chomper. How about we accept George's challenge and prove that mean DexWatch wrong?" Arden said playfully, sending a wink toward the worked up little guy. Afterwards, he looked toward the red caped boy.

"Still up for a battle, Georgie?"

The Road to Sagehood: A Naruto AU

Sora Akiba

Played By: Such A Birch
Theme Song: Nisemono no Utage

継続は力なり。
“Continuing on is power.”

Name
Sora Akiba

Selfhood
M-14

Birthday
11-22

Affiliation
Hinokuni, Konohagakure
· Akiba Family (Civilian)

Rank
Genin

Origin
Born into the Akiba family, Sora was encouraged to live a safe life as a civilian. Needless to say, it came as a shock when he decided that he wanted to enter the shinobi academy. Despite the fact that he would be the first in their family to become a shinobi, or even enter the academy, his parents supported him as well as they could. It would be thanks to their help and the few friendships he made that allowed him to reach his goal at the time. It was during his time at the Academy, as with the other civilian born candidates, he noticed the large gap in skill and ability between himself and the shinobi born students. He was, however determined to not let it get him down and aimed to focus on his own strengths. Small as they were.

He took as many supplemental courses as he could in order to close that gap, an action that distanced him from some of the other civilian born students and closer to some of the clan kids. It was in these classes that he discovered his talent for Genjutsu as well as his interest in the Medical arts. In spite of his better than average chakra control and small reserves, it has taken him the past year to learn even the basics of Medical Ninjutsu. He is hoping that upon passing the academy, his Sensei can either teach him more on the subject or at least point him in the right direction.

Persona
Outgoing and cheerful, Sora has an almost playful aura around him as he prefers to keep a certain levity about life. an Optimist, he always tries to see the bright side of anything and everything, sometimes to the point of denial or willful ignorance. He also has a tendency to hyper-focus, leading him to occasionally isolate himself from others or situations. It is both a large aid and a detriment on the battlefield.

Showcase
Has excellent chakra control for a Genin, allowing him to pick up more delicate techniques a bit easier than most. His ability to hyper-focus also allows him to isolate details that some may overlook, greatly aiding him in the application of Genjutsu. His limited study of anatomy has also granted him a small edge in combat, letting him target nerve clusters and pressure points to increase his close combat ability.

Arms

Jutsu

• Kawarimi no Jutsu
• Bunshin no Jutsu
• Henge no Jutsu
• Nawanuke no Jutsu
• Kasumi Jūsha no Jutsu
• Magen: Narakumi no Jutsu
• Shindan no Jutsu*

*Custom jutsu that is supposed to be the most basic of medical techniques. It doesn't heal but instead sends a benign pulse of chakra through the hands into another person and "echoes" back their condition. Good for identifying things like internal bleeding, internal bruising and bone damage but little else.
