[PKMN OPEN] The Pokemon Trainer Academy (OOC) (NEW!)

Name: Malcolm West

Nickname: Mr. West

Age: 46

Gender: Male

Job: Advanced Pokemon Theory: Understanding Types, Interactions and Exceptional Strategy. This class is only for students who are acing their other written subjects.

Appearance: A middle aged man with a face lined and tired from years on the road as a Pokemon Trainer. His light brown hair has receeded and thinned slightly and his blue eyes give the impression of exhaustion. His clothing tends towards the professional but shabby creating the air of an absent minded professor. Standing at five foot eleven he doesn't slouch, but loves sinking low in chairs.

Personality: Malcolm West at almost all times gives the impression of desperately needing a vacation. Despite being prone to tiredness and overworking himself however he is a man who seems genuinely inspired and invigorated by pokemon, often speaking about them with great excitement. Generally upbeat, he becomes disheartened when discussing his attempted career as a Pokemon Trainer, and seems to have lost a great deal of his passion for battling - although he still enjoys watching battles and concocting strategies.

History: Malcolm West grew up primarily in a small family cabin on the outskirts of Pewter City with his parents. Malcolm's father was a notorious rock collector and history buff, who insisted on Malcolm having a strong academic base of knowledge. Generally resenting what many would consider a dull and uneventful life, Malcolm ran away from home at an early age - considering himself something of a wandering rebel. On his wanderings Malcolm encountered and befriended a wild Growlithe, and it wasn't long after this that he decided to become a Pokemon Trainer.

Malcolm spent over twenty years attempting to become a successful Trainer, and failed. Altough gifted with a great knowledge of pokemon and able to conjure up seemingly unbeatable strategies, his practical application of his knowledge just never seemed to take off. During his travels Malcolm had a son, Lincoln, who he took on the road with him at various stages throughout his life. After years of failing as a Trainer, Malcolm applied for a teaching position at the Gary Oak Pokemon Academy in the hopes that he may find more success and fulfillment there. Those who can't - teach.

Name: Lincoln West

Nickname: Linc

Age: 15

Gender: Male

Dorm: Raikou Dorm

Appearance: Linc, only just falling into the age limit for the academy is one of the older students there. Accompanied with his impressive stature for his age of five foot nine and a muscular build, this would potentially make him intimidating to the other students if not for the fact that he otherwise looks so friendly. He has a broad, bright smile and his fathers blue eyes. He inherited his fathers light brown hair, but it has become sun bleached from his extensive time outdoors, which he keeps held back from his face by a pair of goggles he wears on his head. Linc gets a lot of grief for this "anime boy" look, but insists he has a reason.

Personality: Linc is an easygoing young man with a strong stubborn streak. He is friendly towards pretty much everyone he meets, but once he gets an impression of someone it tends to stick. He holds grudges and is slow to forgive, but when he finally does it seems to be completely. Linc is proud of everything his father managed to accomplish as a trainer, and becomes highly defensive of his father if he hears someone speaking ill of him. Their main point of contention is Linc's mother, of whom he knows almost nothing. Although Linc is a very active and determined young man, he can get sidetracked, possessing a strong sense of wanderlust, and is often too concerned with helping others over himself. Linc likes to think he always does the right thing, but can sometimes come across airheaded despite his intelligence.

History: Linc grew up largely on the road, travelling with his father who was a Pokemon Trainer at the time. Lincoln loved this lifestyle and it has turned him into a very active young man who loves to travel and explore. His relationship with his father has always been strong, but they often fall out over the issue of Lincoln's mother of whom Malcolm refuses to speak. At one point during their travels they had such a large fight over the issue as they passed through Pewter City that Lincoln ran away to his grandfathers cabin, where the two would often stay when they were near Pewter City. Malcolm found his son in the cabin, sitting with his grandfathers rock collection. Neither speak much of the conversation that followed, but they fight considerably less about Lincoln's mother now.

Lincoln, as a trainer himself, is determined to become a fantastic Rock-type specialist and is unusual in the fact that currently his only Pokemon are not only rock-types, but fossil pokemon. This currently gives Lincoln the unusual distinction of being a Fossil-type specialist.

Lincoln has come to the academy with his father, who secured a teaching position there, and is registered in the Raikou Dorm (as he has not performed the entrance exams, but has been accepted due to his fathers position.) Although he has a room in the dorms, he also has a room with his father.

Name: Lucia Francisco Bernavard

Age: 14

Gender: Female

Dorm: Suicune

Appearance: Lucia stands at 5'3" and weighs 90 lbs. Lucia has long blonde hair that when it is not placed in a ponytail can reach down to her shoulder blades. She sports a cream white skin tone and thus tends to wear white colored clothes to complement her body. Lucia sports a firm body due to the time she spends training in the fighting style of Akido martial arts.

Much of Lucia's wardrobe consists of short sleeved button up shirts as well as blue jeans. Lucia makes sure to keep all of her clothing free of smudges or any type of dirt as she believes that it makes a first bad impression. Around her neck she wears a necklace that proudly displays her family crest.

Personality: Lucia has been taught and groomed into accepting the ideas her parents hold that end up being controversial with others. She believes that a person is innocent until proven guilty, but with the clients her parents defend, that is often the opposite of what the public believes. She has been taught to examine details and to continuously question said details to find the truth. Lucia enjoys spending time with her friend Tyro and will often end up finding ways to ditch Roberto and Samuel as they just end up preventing any fun the two would have.

Lucia is very protective of her family name and due to her family's reputation she often finds herself without any friends. Due to this the only childhood friends she has are those that are related to the clients that have employed her parents. Lucia tends to befriend those that are considered outcasts as she had a greater chance of making friends, but that doesn't stop her from trying to fit in with the popular crowd. Due to her tendency to believe the best in people she will do whatever she can to protect her friends and will not believe a person has done a bad deed until she is shown proof.

Lucia is passionate about details in the courtroom and enjoys watching real life court cases on television. Lucia's dream is to graduate from a law school and become lawyers just like her parents.

History: Lucia was born in Saffron City to the Bernavard family, a family was full of lawyers. During her childhood Lucia attended a private school and made friends with all of the other children. On her fourth birthday she was introduced to Roberto, a Sizor who would act as her private guardian for as long as he could. On her fifth birthday Lucia's parents took her to a pokemon shop and had her pick out a pokemon who would act as her second guardian. She chose an Absol and her parents named him Samuel. It was after her tenth birthday that many of friends stopped being her friends. Lucia didn't understand why until her parents explained to her that they had defended a breeder in court who had been accused of mistreating the pokemon in his care. Thanks to their efforts he had been proven innocent but it had generated a lot of bad press for the family.

As Lucia grew up she delved more and more into her family's past and was shocked to find that many people hated her family. For the past three generations her family had been consisted of lawyers who had defended criminals in court. Her family had a knack for placing doubt into jurors minds about the defendant and had a great track record of winning cases. This caused many people, especially those related to the plaintiff to make threats against her family. Her grandfather made the decision to train a group of Sizor known as the 'Red Legion' to be the family's guardians as well as to protect the clients under their care and so Lucia found out that Roberto had been evolved and trained from birth to act as her guardian.

Lucia wasn't ashamed of her family's background, but instead looked upon it with pride. For the next four years she was excluded from activities by her peers, but that didn't stop her. As added security Lucia was taught Akido to as well as given a torchic starter to train as she saw fit. When she heard about an exam for entry into the coveted Pokemon Trainer Academy she studied for weeks and aced both parts of the exam with flying colors. Now armed with only her pokemon and a suitcase with her supplies Lucia aims to add another achievement to her family's history and be the first to successfully graduate from the academy.

She's usually always very cheerful and upbeat and seems to be bit of a tomboy as well. One look at her and you couldn't tell that she was a part of the Suicune Dorm . She hates it when people call her out on her mistakes.
Zora often rebelled against her captors because of this guilt in favor of trying to redeem herself by helping someone, sometimes leading to her being a damsel in distress. Rebelling and constantly switching sides caused Zora's determination and drive to grow significantly. She almost never switches sides anymore but she still acts like a damsel in distress. She is also apparently very talented with her drawing. She sometimes falls in love easily. She can also get very hurt when she falls in love with the wrong person. She hopes that one day she will find the right guy.

History: Zora grew up in the Unova region even if she was alone. She was taken in when she was around 10 by a passing family that saw her by the trash crying and alone. They took he into their home and fed her well everyday. When she was eleven she went onto become a Pokemon trainer but as soon as she got her first pokemon her dad denied her and she wasn't able to go on her adventure. Then one day she snuck away and went off on her journey but failed horribly and her Pokemon was taken from her by team Plasma members. She fought efortlessly to get her pokemon back and evantually ended up getting hurt and that landed her in the hospital. When she finally got all better her parents went out to find the theif who stole her Pokemon but sadly only came back with one of the three of them. She then sent out on her journey again and saw the grunts that took her Pokemon got promoted to co-leaders. She battled them and got help from the Striaton town Gym leadrs and recovered her stolen Pokemon. She was finally happy again that is until she challenged the gym and lost to them. She felt really sad and even thought about returning her pokemon back into the wild but decided not to after seeing how happy she made them. She was looking through the newspaper n her 14th birthday and saw something about a trainer school run by Gary Oak from the Kanto Region. She was ecstatic because she could hone her skills and she finally got enough courage to apply and surprisingly she was accepted on her first try. She packed her bags and went to catch the boat to the academy.

If she meets a new person, she will greet the person in a friendly manner. Responds by the other person will make her start up a conversation. She will think carefully on what to say next, as she does not like to hurt the other person's feelings. She rarely gets frustrated, and it takes a lot to faze her feelings.

Her parents worked in Charific Valley, and during weekends, she will visit the valley to see the Charizards. She will ride the Charizards, under her parents' watchful eyes. At one time, she had one scorching incident. She was riding one Charizard by the name of Charlard, and another Charizard did not see her. The second Charizard breathed fire on Charlard, and her Charizard warned him that he is not alone. Too late. Charlard took much of the flame, leaving Cherie with scorch marks on her right shoulder and arm. After that incident, Cherie was not allowed to ride Charizards anymore unless she trains one from Charmander.
When she finally receives Totodile, she was very happy. With the water Pokemon at her side, she searches the area where wild Pokemon were living. Fang would not listen to her when she saw Weedle, and she talked calmly to him, training him to listen to her instruction.
Several months passed before Fang will listen to Cherie, and he helped her to capture the other Pokemon. She caught Rattata, Caterpie, and Pidgey, with Fang, and she trains them. An old man was passing through the forest, and he sees her. He tells her to go to Pewter City to get the Boulder Badge, so with her Pokemon team, she heads into Pewter City to battle Brock. After an intense battle with Brock, she received the Boulder Badge. When he handed her the badge, he informed her that the academy is accepting students. He gave the map to her. Upon leaving Pewter City, she followed the map to get to Academy. Along the way, she trains her Pokemon team.

Name: Bridger Hoyt

Age: 14

Sex: Male

Dorm: Entei Dorm

Appearance: Picture Link

Personality: Bridger is a shy boy who doesn't have to many friends, but the friends he does have he is very close to. He is very self conscious about the way he dresses, and tries his best to look 'cool'. He doesn't talk to many people because of his fear of losing people. His mother died when he was four, and his father is always away training his Pokemon. When he was 10, his best friend moved to Unova. He does have a few close friends though but sometimes loses hours of sleep worrying about them leaving. When people do walk up and talk to him though, he will reply quietly and avoid conversating for to long. Though he is very shy, he is fierce when it comes to training Pokemon. His Totodile, a gift from his mother, has been with him since he was 3 years old, and they spend every waking moment together. He was known very well in his town for his skills as a Pokemon trainer, and people would often challenge him and fail in battle.

History: Bridger grew up in Olivine City, Johto with his closest friends Jasmine and Sam. They were as close as three friends could be. He lived with his dad since his mom passed away when he was 4, but his dad is rarely at home so he spent most of his time hanging at his friend Sams house. He also had many training sessions with Jasmine when she had only an Onix, and he would usually win considering the type differences. By the time they were 10, Jasmine had a Steelix, but still couldn't beat Bridger. He had a very good rep in town as the strongest trainer, and was even offered a job as the gym leader. He rejected the offer, and instead suggested that Jasmine get the job. She got it, and trained two Magnemite to help her battle. Jasmine was spending most of her time at the gym while Bridger and Sam were hanging out. They missed their friend terribly and it always felt like there was something missing. Then one day, Sams mother said that they were moving to Unova, and Bridger was devastated. He had lost Sam, his mom, and his dad and Jasmine were never around anymore. When he heard the news about Sam, he had a breakdown, and had to see a therapist until he was 12. He caught a Pichu during his time in therapy, and it quickly evolved into a Pikachu. His reputation as best trainer kept up, and eventually he received a letter from the Pokemon Trainer Academy saying they would like him to train with them. By that time he was 14, and fending for himself at home. He talked to his dad about it when he finally came home, and his dad had never been so proud of him. He said he should take up the offer.

Nickname: "Bookworm" or "Four eyes"

Age: 13

Sex: male

Dorm: Suicune dorm

Appearance: Julius has reddish brown hair that lies flat against his cheeks with a few strands sticking up from
the top, which he never tries to smooth down. Julius' large emerald colored eyes are behind large frameless glasses with lens so big, they may as well be goggles. Julius wears a white three piece flamboyant suit and white wing tips, giving him a constantly formal appearance. The jacket of his suit reaches down to his knees like a coat and is left open to reveal his vest beneath it, in order to give him more room to breathe. Though Julius dresses nicely, he honestly doesn't care much about how he looks, which is why he is able to go into public as he is.

Personality: Julius is a slightly soft-spoken, polite boy who focuses more on his studies than anything else. He spends his time reading books. He reads fictional stories, horror, romance, sci-fi, comedy, and even his textbooks through and through. Honestly, he reads
whatever he can get his hands on, absorbing as much information as he can. Because of this, he sometimes neglects training, but he never neglects his Pokémon. He knows many ways to take care of them and, in battle, he is able to use the information he gains from reading in a variety of practical and ingenious ways, making up for his lack of practice. Though Julius appears shy, he simply prefers to remain absorbed in his imagination, constructing a mental barrier that he recedes into while he reads. Sometimes he gets so obsessive in reading; it takes a person to shake him violently in order toclaim his attention. When
brought backto reality, Julius will often jump in surprise and be completely unaware of what has gone on around him, expressing shock when things have changed dramatically.
One way that has been proven to keep Julius' attention is to pander to his craving for knowledge. When he is curious about something, he finds himself unable to stop thinking about it, always insisting on asking others for their opinions on something. He will stop at nothing to satiate his curiosity, and will research whole subjects thoroughly in order to find his answer.

History: As a child, Julius lived in his home town of Quest Island, the seventh island of the Sevii Island archipelago. He grew up with two brothers, both older than him, an older sister, and a young sister. As the second youngest, Julius had an easy time blending in, having been referred to collectively with the rest of his siblings since his birth. He didn't mind the lack of individuality he had as a result. The only attention he needed was to be read to constantly by one of his brothers or older siblings, as he enjoyed hearing stories. Once he could read on his own, he basically spent all his freetime reading and wound up being the least
problematic child in the family. Hissecond oldest brother, however, was a troublemaker. He got Julius to read abook about the "Tanoby Ruins", which Julius wound up loving. But Julius wasleft hanging with the mystery of the Tanobi key. Julius was extremely excitedwhen his brother told him that not only were the Tanoby Ruins real, they wereon the island as well. Julius set out immediately, rushing to the east towardSevault Canyons without even notifying his parents first. The only things hebrought with him were his notepad and two pens, and his eager excitement.
Upon entering the canyon, Julius was lost immediately.
He wasn't aware of this at first. He simply wandered,touring the unfamiliar terrain as he wrote notes down. He completely lost trackof the time as he trekked through the uneven ground until his stomach began tocrumble and he felt tired. He immediately decided to go home and eat beforecontinuing his exploration when he realized that he was lost, and that eveninghad arrived. It was going to be his curfew soon.
A day later, Julius was still in the valley, starving. Hewas far too weak to try to find his way around—not that he was very fit tobegin with. He had tried to find berries to eat in order to keep him alive, butthen he remembered that he had read that there were little to no edible plantsin the valley. He should have searched for a plentiful spot while he had theenergy.
The second day was beginning to end with the sun falling inthe background when it happened. Julius was lying on the ground, half-dead,unable to speak, move, or think straight when a figure loomed over him. He wasn'taware of what was going on, but he was vaguely conscious enough to remembersomething soft and squishy entering his mouth.
The next morning, Julius woke up—something he hadn't beenexpecting. Beside him, a Trapinch and Larvitar stood, looking relieved to seethat Julius was alive. Julius was covered in leaves to keep him warm throughthe night while and several more leaves were beside him, carrying tons ofSitrus berries. These two Pokémon had saved his life.

Julius spent the next many days with these Pokémon recoveringhis strength and continuing on through the valley. He had been surprised tofind a Trapinch. He knew that they were not indigenous wild Pokémon in thearea, so he deduced that its trainer had released it to the wild and left itbehind on the island. Julius used the notepad he had planned to use for notesas a diary, recording everything he did in the valley and began drawing adetailed map. Trapinch and Larvitar led him to the water at the south end ofthe valley at the end of the second week Julius spent with them. Julius knewthat he could not cross the sea to reach the ruins, but he could see them inthe distance, looming in the mist. His curiosity hadn't been satiated, but hefound that the thrill of the journey was able to quench it. And so Julius usedthe map he had drawn to find his way back to the northwest exit of the valley,heading back into town. There, he said farewell to Larvitar, who didn't wish toleave its home, but the Onix and Trapinch that Julius had befriended followedhim back to his home, which gave his parents a shock. Apparently, Julius hadmissed his funeral a few days earlier and his parents were currently convincingthemselves to disown Julius' older brother for his idiotic prank. Relieved,they smothered Julius in hugs and even gave the Onix and Trapinch as muchthanks as they could for helping Julius survive, after he told them the story. Julius'older sister, who had been travelling up until returning for her brother'sfuneral, congratulated him for managing to return, especially since he'd beenforced to learn to battle in order to fend off wild Pokémon. Julius' sisteroffered to use some of her connections to send Julius to a school where hecould use his talents and hone them properly. A few days later, the letter from Prof. Oak came in the mail.

Name: Kilik Chambers

Nickname: None

Age: 14

Gender: Male

Dorm: Entei Dorm

Appearance: See Attachment

Personality: Kilik is an independent guy who never gives up no matter what happens. He never backs down from a challenge & stays firm if insulted. He's like someone who can read people's minds, but he just takes a 'lucky guess.' Apparently he has no sense of humor so he takes things too seriously, although he tries to find his sense of humor. Kilik is very intelligent in battle, finding every different solution for the outcome to be on his side.

Kilik tends to stay quiet in front of others as he tries focusing more at the situation at hand. If everything is okay for the time being, he will start up a conversation of something he knows or of what the other likes to talk about. One thing about him is he gets stressed during a battle when he has WAY too much pressure. He randomly calls out commands which can mess up his battle style, occasionally giving his opponent the win. Kilik has a little anger issues when someone doesn't take notice of him, so try to comment for him always when possible.

History: Kilik used to live in Cianwood City, playing in the beach all the time. His family later had to move to save money. Kilik was sad to leave, wanting to stay with his friends. When they arrived to Unova, his parents decided to get him a Water Pokemon as it would remind him of the water Pokemon at the beach in Cianwood City. They got him an Oshawott from Prof. Juniper to keep him company & help him move on. He named him Yaiba. It just sounded cool.

At his years in Castelia City, his new home, Kilik plays
with his Pokemon near the harbor. It's not often though. Kilik ventures around the buildings & such, even the gym. In the middle of the city he saw 2 Pokemon fight each other, with one kid on each side giving commands. What was this? Why were they fighting? When the battle ended Kilik asked the kids why they fought. They explained to him that they are trainers, & trainers battle out with Pokemon to become the strongest. Of course they told him he didn't have to become a trainer. He could do whatever he wanted with Pokemon, just so long as it's not bad.

Almost everyday, Kilik went to look for battles with Yaiba, but a lot of people were to busy with this & that. A few dancers did battle him, he lost 2 battles but won the rest. He was becoming better. He didn't battle much, which was suckish for him since he started loving battle so much.

On his way home through the back alley, after picking up groceries to take home, Kilik had a feeling someone was watching him. He looked around to see who it was, but nothing. Then he noticed that the bag he was holding felt lighter than it should. When he looked the bag of food was gone. How did that happen? A giggle was heard. Kilik turned around to find someone just hiding right now, only seeing a glimpse of a...tail? He caught up to this thief & found a girl with his bag, & a tail. Was it a costume or something? Kilik decided to pull the tail, & what surprised him really was a shocker. This 'girl' was actually a Zorua. It giggled, but Kilik wasn't happy. It stole his food & thinks this a joke. He wasn't gonna stand for this. He brought out Yaiba for a battle, & Zorua took her stance. Zorua didn't put up much of battle, causing it to lose & be caught with a Pokeball. Lucky there were lots in the Pokemart & Kilik had enough money for 2. With a new friend & groceries back, Kilik walked back to his house in buildings. (Hard to find sometimes.)

Years passed, & Kilik was now ready to go on his own adventure. His parents wished him luck & he was off, starting at Route 5. Thinking of his past battles, Kilik knew he hadn't reached his full potential yet. He wanted to hone his skills to have control & be the strongest there can be. Well, he did hear there was a Pokemon Trainer Academy on an island. It applied a lot of trainers, so Kilik would have many opportunities to train & battle. In short he applied & got accepted, of course he didn't pass the practical entrance exam so he was in the Entei Dorm. Still, he was in & that was enough.
