"Right, the deal's this; I ain't need no Pokémon to beat your fucking ass. So you play by the rules, or I'll send out my fist."
Name: Fyodor Kaschak
Nicknames: Fedya, Fifi (note: only use this one if you really want to die - or are cute enough to get away with it)
Aliases: Mad Dog, Rotten Monk, That Crazy Fucker, The Beast of the East
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Origin: Ecruteak City, Johto
Appearance: As is clear from a glance, Fedya exudes trouble. From the fiery red hair to the many piercings scattered throughout his body and the rather aggressive body language constantly on display, he doesn't strike a very friendly image. It's rare to catch his face in anything but an annoyed frown or an angry scowl - unless, that is, you happen to catch one of his shit-eating grins. If so, run for the hills, because he is coming for you, and he runs fast.
Fedya stands at a rather tall 6'4'', with broad shoulders (don't let the picture fool you damnit), long limbs and large hands, in particular. Some would call him a punk based on his appearance, while others would liken him to a musclehead - neither observation being too far off. Either way, it's rare to see him wearing anything remotely formal; usually, he either dons his - heavily modified - monk garb, or throws on whatever he happens to find at the time. Honestly, as long as there's chains in his getup, he's happy.
Personality: The general public knows him by many names, none of which are pleasant - or entirely undeserved. He's reclusive and enigmatic, rarely appearing in public or giving speeches - and when he does, he always seems disproportionately angry about it. Rumours pin him as unpredictable, scary, even dangerous, having been involved in gang activity in the past. There is certainly truth to all that, and he is as crude as he is short-tempered, with violence a real, tangible threat when he gets angry enough.
With that said, those who know him the best have also seen a completely different side of him, one not known to the general public. The side that has him staying up the whole night to tend to a crying baby Pokémon. The side that turns him into a flustered, bumbling mess when anyone or anything cute bats eyes at him. The side that makes him throw himself into the fray with reckless abandon when someone he cares about needs protecting. That is to say, bad as he might be, it's not to the core.
He'll get angry if you point it out to him, though.
Short Biography: The trials and tribulations of Fedya's life are enough to fill multiple books. And yet, the details known to the general public are few. Fedya seems to have been living with the good monks of Ecruteak city for most of his life - until he started a violent altercation and had to be pried off his perceived victim. No Pokémon were found in his possession at the time, though quite many seemed intent on following him as he was carried away from the site. Mostly baby Pokémon, many of which seemed rather distressed when he was removed. One Azurill was particularly intent on following, so it was taken with him. The incident didn't make national news and remains something only a few local people can recall.
Years later, he emerged in the distant region of Orre. He was involved in a series of violent raids in the local colosseums and underground establishments as a part of a small gang, and earned quite a fearsome reputation. Supposedly, he was a damn fierce fighter. Not when it came to Pokémon, mind, but in pure martial prowess. He also had a scary water Pokémon with him, though the records don't agree on which one. Many suspected it to be a Feraligatr, a Gyarados, or something equally intimidating. The gang was eventually disbanded, and Fedya disappeared with it.
After years of obscurity, he re-emerged across regions, taking on gyms and other similar challenges with a team of ragtag Pokémon. It was unclear what had made him suddenly care about Pokémon training or the gym challenges, but he seemed determined as ever to get far. He reached the Elite of a few regions, but then disappeared. Whether he had lost, given up or gotten in some sort of trouble that forced him to quit his challenge midway through, none knew.
A few years ago, new rumours surfaced. According to them, he'd fought his way into joining the Sinnoh Elite - where he remained to this day. Whether true or mere hearsay seems debated, as he rarely makes public appearances, and many that take on the challenge lose before ever reaching him. Still, there are sightings of him together with the other Elites - some even claim they've seen him smile! But those, at least, must be fake news.
Pokemon: Fedya's team mostly consists of cute or pretty Pokémon - or at least those that used to be such in their earlier forms. Though if you ask him, he'll have you know Missy the Incineroar is still the most adorable fucking kitten out there, thanks.
In addition to the Pokémon listed here, he takes care of a bunch of baby Pokémon, as well as a few injured or abandoned ones. They are, however, neither capable nor meant for battle, and technically do not belong to him.
Current team (will update accordingly as this changes in the rp):
Full team
Name: Zuzu
Species: Azumarill
Gender: Female
Ability: Huge Power
Appearance: Zuzu's ears are much longer than usual, and both of them flop down at the ends.
Personality: Headstrong and stubborn, Zuzu shares her trainer's reckless heroism, and never backs down from a fight. At the same time, very much unlike her trainer, she has an eye for detail and a strategic mind. She tends to be the strategist of the team, even if she does make Fedya think he was the one to come up with said ideas. She looks out for him, and is the first to jump to Fedya's defense if he's slighted. Same goes for the rest of his team, or anyone else she perceives to be weaker than her.
Move Set: Belly Drum, Aqua Jet, Body Slam, Bulldoze
Name: Missy
Species: Incineroar
Gender: Male, though the name might suggest otherwise
Ability: Intimidate
Appearance: Missy is fluffy; there's no two ways about it. While his species usually has short, rough fur, he is a bipedal ball of red fluff. Very cozy to cuddle, if you're alright with the beating that will inevitably follow.
Personality: Missy used to be such a nice kitty, always purring on Fedya's lap. Then he grew up. Even more short-tempered than his owner, Missy's one and only solution to most every problem is literally throwing his body at it. Repeatedly. If it doesn't work, he cloaks himself in flames and tries again. He's not the smartest cookie out there, but he has a good heart that is easily swayed by treats. Scritch his ears, and he melts into a puddle - and then probably melts you into a puddle afterwards. Fedya says it's worth it, though.
Move Set: Earthquake, Fake Out, Swords Dance, Thunder punch
Name: Her Royal Highness (or Highness, for short)
Species: (Alolan) Ninetales
Gender: Female
Ability: Snow Warning
Appearance: Highness is quite unusual in a number of ways. For one, she has an extra tail. Though it is technically a birth defect, she considers it a mark of her superiority and feels not a shred of shame over it. Her fur is also more a pinkish shade than blue [like so.]
Personality: With a name like hers, how could she not be full of herself? A spoiled little thing, she carries herself like an actual royal, expecting the whole world to bow down at her feet - and getting incredibly fussy when it doesn't happen. She abhors dirt and dislikes fighting, considering it barbaric. She can be easily coerced to fight if given enough compliments, though.
Move Set: Calm Mind, Dark Pulse, Dream Eater, Solar Beam
Name: Sage
Species: Reuniclus
Gender: Male
Ability: Magic Guard
Appearance: Sage is a standard Reuniclus in all manners but one; his expression never changes. Come what may, his face does not reflect it.
Personality: Does he have one? That's what many would ask when confronted with his silently floating form. Fedya knows better. A survivor of abuse, Sage had lost all emotion when Fedya rescued him. Ever since, he's gradually gained back bits of it, even if no one else but his trainer can tell. He's very contemplative and quiet, but very caring. He's always looking out for his friends and has a surprisingly good memory for details. He knows everyone's birthday, for one. So don't be surprised if you wake up on your special day with a gift by your pillow.
Move Set: Trick Room, Calm Mind, Focus Blast, Energy Ball
Name: Neenee
Species: Dedenne
Gender: Male
Ability: Cheek Pouch
Appearance: Species standard.
Personality: Childish, curious and always hungry, no pocket or bag is safe from Neenee's nosy little nose. He is a bit of a kleptomaniac, tending to nab everything that interests him - particularly food, but jewelry is a second favourite. He's mischievous as well, so don't be surprised if he purposefully paralyses you with a nuzzle so he can help himself to your belongings. He tends to sit atop Fedya's head, getting his fair all messy with cookie crumbles.
Move Set: Magnet Rise, Double Team, Super Fang, Attract
Name: Spunk
Species: Pancham
Gender: Male
Ability: Mold Breaker
Appearance: Spunk is tiny, falling several inches short of the species standard. His fur is also much darker, bordering on black.
Personality: As his name implies, Spunk is, well, spunky. Despite his small size, he's out there to take on the world. He really wants to be a fighter one day, and always yearns to prove his worth. The stronger the opponent, the better! ... Unless they're too strong, because then he'll have to make a strategic retreat. But it's only temporary, okay-! He's not scared, that stuff's for nerds.
Move Set: Foul Play, Gunk Shot, Rock Slide, Zen Headbutt
Name: Spook
Species: Mimikyu
Gender: Female
Ability: Disguise
Appearance: While most Mimikyu tend to wrap themselves in a cloth resembling a Pikachu, Spook has opted to wear one made to look like an Umbreon instead. She finds it better suited for hiding purposes.
Personality: Shy and reserved, Spook is nevertheless a very curious Pokémon. She loves to observe everything people and Pokémon around her do, yet gets very startled if someone actually approaches her. She's clumsy and tends to trip on the edges of her cloth a lot. She's also a bit of a crybaby, and has low tolerance for pain. Even so, she should not be underestimated; as a battler, she can pull her own weight.
Move Set: Destiny Bond, Curse, Will o Wisp, Swords Dance
Name: Essie
Species: Espurr
Gender: Female
Ability: Infiltrator
Appearance: A regular Espurr with messy fur, the result of years of neglect.
Personality: Espurr isn't technically ready to be used for fighting yet, even though he's part of Fedya's team. She was a rescue kitty that was supposed to be given to another young trainer after she was done recuperating - but she refused to leave Fedya's side. To this day, she tends to always find her way to wherever he goes, silently watching his every move with her unblinking eyes. It's... a bit disturbing, even if she means well. Probably. Fedya isn't exactly sure what she's like quite yet, as she's yet to open up to him - or speak, in general.
Move Set: Skill Swap, Dark Pule, Charge Beam, Torment
Name: Bloom
Species: Meganium
Gender: Female
Ability: Overgrow
Appearance: The flower around bloom's neck is a darker shade of red, and its form resembles the petals of a rose.
Personality: Bloom is the mother hen of the group. Calm, responsible and never at a loss for an answer to any problem, she's the rock that keeps the team together - and Fedya in line. The baby Pokémon Fedya takes care of particularly love her, and she treats them all like her children. Bloom tends to take slights against her in a stride, but only to an extent. Her patience is overflowing, but not endless. And once it runs out, heaven help the poor soul responsible for it. Hell hath no fury like a momma Meganium scorned.
Move Set: Leech Seed, Leaf Storm, Heal Pulse, Substitute
Name: Caesar
Species: Dragonite
Gender: Male
Ability: Multiscale
Appearance: Your usual Dragonite, only littered with scars and bruises from fights past. A piece of his tail is missing, and the horn on his head has long since broken.
Personality: If Bloom is the mother of the group, Caesar is the grandfather. He's old and somewhat grumpy, yet has a soft spot for youth, be they Pokémon or trainers. He's packed full of stories from his life, some pleasant - and some too traumatic to tell with baby Pokémon in the room. He used to belong to a Pokémon poacher, and has done many a bad thing under his previous trainer's command. He tries to atone for such things nowadays, attacking wrongdoers with a particular vigor. He's one of Fedya's strongest fighters, and he respects the old dragon a lot.
Move Set: Extreme Speed, Stone Edge, Earthquake, Brutal Swing
Summary: Angry ball of anger with anger issues
Other:
- Carries a baseball bat with him wherever he goes. It's 'decorated' with nails and the signatures of his old gang mates - and though he always threatens to bash people's heads in with it when angry, he's yet to do so once. The bat's too precious - his fist will do just fine, anyway.
- Is disturbingly adept at hand to hand combat, as well as picking up random objects and swinging them around as makeshift weapons. Not that it matters much in the world of trainers; a hyper beam from a Dragonite tends to be much scarier than a punch from even the best martial artist out there. That is, if you own Pokémon. Oh, you poor bastard if you don't.
"Right, the deal's this; I ain't need no Pokémon to beat your fucking ass. So you play by the rules, or I'll send out my fist."
