[PKMN OPEN] Mystery Dungeon: The Grand Expedition (T/OOC)

Species:
Golett

Gender:
Male

Time Spent at the Guild:
42 days

Appearance:
He appears to be a normal Golett, although his armor is subtly a lighter blue than average.

History:
Russell (Rusty to his friends) was introduced to the Haven Exploration Guild not as a potential recruit, but as a troublemaker being brought to justice. Though he claims that he never caused any trouble, he was responsible for three incidents of destruction of public property, caused by getting in fights with other Pokemon. Whether he intended to or not, his actions still resulted in disturbing the peace and destroying city landmarks. As he was being brought in, a couple unruly gang members tried to break out their leader, and Russell assisted in subduing them. Realizing that he was likely to keep fighting actual troublemakers, his sentence was suspended and he was put on probation and allowed to join the Guild.

Personality:
Loud, excitable, and proud of his strength, Rusty's a friendly and jolly guy who doesn't like to take things seriously. Although he can enjoy himself in almost any situation, he especially enjoys getting into fights, where the adrenaline is pumping and he can really show off his strength.

He doesn't go around looking for fights (not very often, anyway), but Plan A usually involves punching something, and he'll enthusiastically let people know that. He'll back off if a better solution presents itself, but his low intelligence and short temper mean he can get frustrated easily.

Surprisingly, he tends to be kind of low key whenever he's by himself. Working out, taking a nap, or (trying to) build things; he enjoys relaxing as much as he enjoys the action of work or play. He has a hidden soft side, which he denies out of embarrassment if someone brings it up.

Gender:
Female

History:
Belle grew up in a friendly, yet according to her, boring society. She grew up in a family of three: her mother, her father, and her younger brother. Scavenging and exploring was in Belle's blood - her family was from generations of such activities. It was the only way for her family to gain the fortune they own today.

Her father, taught Belle how to be strong, while her mother stayed at home to care for Eve's younger brother. Her father would usually take her to the nearby woodlands to explore some unknown things, in an effort to teach her the joys of exploration. Other times, her father performed practice rounds with Belle to teach her how to fend for herself in the art of combat. However, Eve often sought the "easy way out" of her duties, which of course, according to her father, was quite foolish.

As Belle grew older, she, according to her family, became old enough to work under hire. She had no choice to comply, even after refusal. Even after job after job, her excitement was still not fulfilled. That was until after she listened to the playing of a ocarina that belonged to a seemingly young Skitty, seeming to be Belle's age. Belle complimented on the young Pokémon's playing, as the Skitty introduced herself to be Casey.

The two started becoming friends after a long chat, and as the months went by, the two started growing closer and closer... perhaps even as soulmates. The two sang songs, did jobs together, as well as explore dungeons. However, like many things, the good times did not last long.

One day, as they were exploring a dungeon, they were encountered by a group of Houndour, seeming to be bandits of sorts. Looking to not be much of a challenge, Belle and Casey worked together to battle against the group, and even despite their number disadvantage, they were doing quite well too. Soon however, there was a flash of light, followed up with a strange purple-looking pokemon to be the center of it all. Belle and Casey couldn't stand up to the light, as they were quickly overpowered.

Left with no options, Casey quickly told Belle to escape while she could, as Casey charged up for her most powerful attack: Solar Beam. Belle called out for Casey, as the light grew stronger and stronger, engulfing the small clearing. Belle woke up, to find that no one, including Casey as there, as she only saw the small blue bow that Casey always wore. Belle stumbled back on her feet and approached it. She looked down to the bow and cried for her friend.

The next day, Belle came to a realization. Casey was still out there somewhere, and it was up to her to find her. Chances are, that strange group got a hold of her friend, as her only lead now was to find this group. She left home to join a guild, and hopefully find some answers in town, wearing the blue bow on the base of her tail, reminding her to never give up on the search.


Personality:
She is a slightly odd individual. She is talkative, and is prone to teasing and melodramatic complaining, which easily grates on the nerves of others. She's also kind, hardly ever showing anger to anyone but her enemies, and he serves to try and maintain a lighthearted atmosphere in the group when things get tense.

She does, however, display occasional flirting with any 'attractive' pokemon she comes across (male and female), cracking jokes with innuendo and lightly flirting with the kids of the group, as well as with several other Pokémon she come across on her journeys.

She also complains about various things, her age being the most prominent, as she frequently claims that she is too old to be doing the things she does despite her not actually being very old. She is also highly intolerant of cold weather and does well in heat. Basically, she lives life in a very dispassionate, detached manner. Despite her blase characteristics, she often maintains an odd air of astuteness that makes one believe she is a much more complicated Pokémon than she lets on.

She acts like an older sister and a mother figure for her fellow guildmates, or other young Pokémon she meets, giving them advice here and there anytime they need it, or if they just need a ear to talk to, she'll always be there for them.

In combat, she prefers swiftness, and the ability to try and outsmart her opponents. She can do whatever it takes to win - even taunt her opponents into making a fatal opening for her to capitalize on. Thus, time and time again, she proves herself to not only be sly, but to be quite strong.

​

Species:
Azurill

Gender:
Male

Time Spent at the Guild:
1 month.

Appearance:
His left ear has a burnt scar from where he was attacked by bandits. Other than that, he looks like a normal Azurill. He rarely seems to smile and Arceus knows why.

History:
Growing up, Zuzu had only one family to call, his Marill brother. They had no parents and when he did ask his brother why every other household had them, he was merely told that their parents were away. Zuzu was entirely dependent on his brother, who worked all day on odd jobs to put food on the table and make sure that there was a roof over their heads. One day, Zuzu was approached by a traveler who offered him some free food for a simple and small task. Thrilled that he could be useful and at the prospect of not going hungry for a while more, he took up the offer. The traveler was a foreigner who had come to their parts to search for artifacts and old things he could dig up to sell. There was a nearby waterfall where a cave was hidden and he wanted the tiny Azurill to enter a small chamber, accessible through a crevice that only a pokemon like him could crawl through. Finding whatever object the traveler wanted was no easy feat but Zuzu managed to accomplish it without hurting himself. Unfortunately, the traveler had other ideas in mind than to reward him. In the darkness of the cave, the traveler placed him under hypnosis and performed extreme acts of physical torture, pushing him towards the edge of death only to heal his wounds, hiding any physical evidence. With the sounds of the waterfall masking out every noise inside the cave, Zuzu was subjected to extreme torment and an overwhelming helplessness, with the full knowledge that nobody could save him. When it was all over, Zuzu walked back home, dazed and traumatised, and everything felt like a horrible nightmare.

But the real nightmares had only begun. Every night, he was haunted by visions of the traveler, who would not leave him. He never spoke to anyone about what had happened, not even his brother, as he did not want to cause worry. It was only a matter of time when the nightmares became so intense that he could no longer differentiate reality from dreams. He kept slipping in and out of the waking world, until he fell into a state of coma, swallowed up by the abyss. His brother, on realizing one morning that he could not be awakened, sought help from Explorers of the nearby guild. Of course, nearby being the next town several miles away. Despite the long travel on foot, nobody bothered to help at all, thinking that it was not profitable. To add salt to injury, the Marill came back to the village to see it being raided by bandits. Zuzu was snapped back to reality when a bandit's attack struck him on the head. His brother tried to fend them off, buying time for Zuzu to escape. The last thing Zuzu saw of his brother was him being surrounded by flames as the bandits decide to torch the village to the ground as a final act of assertion.

Mind broken beyond a fathomable degree, the Azurill wandered for days, until he collapsed at the first town he set foot in, the first sight of civilization – Haven.

Personality:
On the outside, Zuzu has the image of purity and innocence, befitting of an adorable child. But his insides are blacker than oil and his mind is like a shadowy kaleidoscope, fragmented, never clear and ever changing. His psyche has been damaged and twisted, such that his entire personality is highly unstable, vacillating between being a sweet kindhearted soul and a sadistic demon of lunacy. His heart has no room for genuine positive emotions - empathy is not in his vocabulary - and he only knows despair, melancholy and suffering. His desire for blood and to inflict pain onto others is deeply masked by his facade of weakness. He sees everyone as nothing but tools; stepping stones for his ultimate machination – world domination. He appears to reciprocate the Explorers' good-naturedness when in reality, he will make sure they are the first to taste his wrath when he has the entire world bowing before him. The only relationship worth maintaining is that of a giant and an ant, one being thoroughly at the mercy of the other, as well as easily crushed and obliterated of course.

Species:
Larvitar

Gender:
Female

Time Spent at the Guild:
1 Week

Appearance:
Mamatar weighs in at 160 pounds, and is 1 foot and 9 inches tall. Her expression always appears to be one of anger, even when she is happy. She has red dragon like scales that protect her stomach

History:
At a young age Mamatar's mother passed away. The child thought her mother was just sleeping and went to go play with the neighboring Arons her mother was friends with. When Mamatar got home she tried to wake her mother up. "Mom!" she cried, and beat her tiny hands against her mothers rough exterior. Nothing would wake her. After hours of trying Mamatar ran to the neighboring Lairon camp. Mamatar's voice strained, and screechy with tears coming down her face she yelled to her friend's mother. "My mom is asleep!" The Lairon(f) was puzzled by her statement. "Everyone sleeps," the Lairon said in a soft, and motherly voice. "Mom wonn't wa-aake up." The Lairon tried to stay calm. "I'll see your mommy. Go play with Starq. He'll be happy to see you." Starq's mother suggested.
Mamatar wouldn't. She wanted to see her mom wake up. She ran to her mother's side with her mommy's friend keeping pace. Her mother was still there. Lairon knew there was nothing she could do. Tears fell Lairon's eyes. She bit the nape of Mamatar, and pulled her away from her deceased mother, Tyrana. Mamatar struggled against Lairon's jaws, and demanded to be put down. She would try to run back to see her mom, but Lairon caught her every time. Lairon had a hard time explaining that Mamatar's mother was dead. She didn't want to believe it either. Tyrana was still young, too young to die. When Lairon was ready she explained everything to the child.
Coming up living life like a "ron"

The girl was heart broken and in denial. The caves she lived were already one of infinite sadness. Arra's words only made that worse. Mamatar left the cave after exploring every crevice of the cave. In her travels she found a guild with a lot of powerful pokemon. She wanted to be just like them. Travelling, and battling made her weary which also played a big role in her joining the guild.

Personality:
Mamatar is shy young girl with the goal to make friends, however; her insecurities and trouble trusting in other mons make it difficult for her to make friends. Once she is attached to someone she will do anything for them. She believes herself to be wise, and because of that others can see her as stubborn.
