Name: Lexine Brooke Zirkle. Call her Lexi,

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance: Short choppy layers fall casually over thin arched eye brows, and the tips of her brown hair barely reach her slight shoulders. A small white bow is attached to a headband, with the bow on placed on the left side of her head. Under her shaggy hair are two large, almond shaped eyes. The irises are light blue, with black specs that look like freckles randomly placed in them. Her nose is a bit pointed, and is slight compared to the rest of her facial features. Under her nose are full, dull pink lips, usually curled up in a smirk. Her skin is pale, but in the summer it's a light tan. Lexi also has unusually long arms for someone of her short height - 5'3 - and long fingers to match. Her torso is the shortest part of her body, with her legs supplementing most of her height. Overall she's quite thin, with only barely thicker thighs from walking.

Lexi usually wears long sleeved shirts with the sleeves rolled to her elbows and a tank top underneath. When it's particularly cold she zips herself up in a navy blue hoodie, with holes cut out for her thumbs, black high tops with rainbow laces, and a long pair of dark jeans. In the heat she just takes her over-shirt off, wears a light pair of jean shorts, and a pair of dark blue flip flops. She also wears head bands with bows, most of the time. For jewelry she has three silver stud earrings in her ears, one on her left and two on her right ear. She also wears a hemp ankle bracelet with small green and white beads intertwined.

Personality: Lexi is an absent minded teenager who often spends her time day dreaming or sleeping. She's not easily provoked and keeps a leveled head, unless it's something she's very passionate about, but there aren't very many things that interest her. While she tends to break rules, a lot, her conscience usually stops her from making big mistakes. Beauty and art attract her, but she can't help but to search for deeper meanings within. While she's pondering these things it's very hard to get her attention. She hates being rushed or pressured into things, and enjoys taking her time. Although she's usually quite agreeable and friendly, Lexi prefers to be alone, or with a quiet Pokémon.

Well, she seems agreeable, anyway. No one knows her well enough to say otherwise, but she's a bit narcissistic and vain. It's almost a tragedy for her to see a single hair out of place on her perfect little head. Her mom tries to keep her down to earth, and usually Lexi tries to be less of a perfectionist. To help her be less selfish, she often spends time talking to Pokémon and tending to their feelings. This has helped, but she still maintains a bit of vanity. Even though being good company comes easily to her, she still prefers to stay away from other humans, because she fears she'll embarrass herself.

That being said, she prefers grass Pokémon for their quiet, understanding natures. Bulbasaur is her favorite, because it's adorable and patient. Her favorite thing to do is to take walks, sometimes alone, but usually with her Pokémon. While she's alone she just thinks about things, like Pokémon, life and death, love, and any thing else she doesn't have a clear understanding on. That's probably because she hates confusion and her favorite saying is 'Say what you mean, and mean what you say.'

History: Lexi has lived in all four regions at least once in her life. She was born in Saffron City, in Kanto, to Carrie and Douglas Zirkle, where her father worked at Sliph Co. When Lexi was three her parents started arguing. In an attempt to keep the peace, Lexi's father quit his job and moved to Solaceon Town in Sinnoh, because Lexi's Mother preferred a quiet, peaceful town. Both of her parents were happy, until Lexi was five, when a frightening ghost Pokémon was seen in the southern edge of town. After that, the family packed up again, heading for Dewford town in Hoenn. Lexi had barely celebrated her sixth birthday when her father couldn't stand to live in such a small town anymore. Lexi had also grown a distaste for small towns, so she and her father swiftly moved back to Saffron. They lived happily in Saffron for a few years, until they both started missing Carrie. Douglas wrote to Carrie, and she missed him and their daughter terribly, but would not set another foot in Saffron. Eventually when Lexi was ten, her parents compromised. The whole family moved to Ecruteak City in Johto. The city was large, but not as large as Saffron, and Lexi's mother was perfectly happy surrounded by ancient myths and legends.

Because of all the moving her family did, Lexi never really had any friends. At school she'd always have a small group to eat lunch with, but other than that she kept to herself. Her problems at home also strained any relationships she had at school. Because of everywhere she's lived, she never picked up any certain dialect, except for the word crayon, which she pronounced cran. Her experience in Solaceon town wasn't as frightening to her as it was to her parents; she was intrigued, not scared, by the ghost Pokémon. She's always preferred her father over her mother, since he tended to be carefree like herself, unlike her mother who was always nagging her. The compromise to move to Ecruteak pleased Lexi, because of her interest in Ghost Pokémon. Out of all the places she and her family have lived, Ecruteak is her favorite.

One day, when she was thirteen, Lexi was exploring the Burned Tower. She had seen ghost Pokémon and wanted to study one up close. A Ghastly had been the Pokémon she saw, and she stared in awe. Lexi was apparently too close, and scared the Ghastly. It attacked her, but instead of being hit with the Shadow Ball, a Bulbasaur took the attack. It was very low leveled, so he fainted on impact. Lexi ran to the rescue and scooped up the Pokémon into her arms. She dashed to the Pokémon Center and left him there to heal. It took longer than usual because he didn't have a Pokéball, and Lexi was hungry, so she went to go get a bag of chips. When she returned, Nurse Joy explained that Bulbasaur had taken off after he was healed up. After that day, Bulbasaur has always been her favorite Pokémon.

Starter Choice: Bulbasaur♂

Name: Francis Loss


Age: 17


Gender: Umm...I'm pretty sure...Male? :P


Appearance: Francis spends five days a week in the gym working his body to the max. His arms are pretty muscly as a result of this, and he is very fit. He stands at 15"8' which is pretty tall, and his skin has a tanned tinge to it. His head is covered in sharp, very short hair that is little more than fuzz, and the same thing is on his chin as a developing beard. Concerning facial features, his eyes are a bright turquoise colour. His nose is quite large (which he hates) and has a lump right near the top that makes his nose look crooked (which he hates even more XD).

Francis likes two things: the bad boy look and leather. He has been collecting leather jackets since the age of eight and wears his favourite one all the time. It is a black, sleeveless one that has a large collar with a few silver buttons on it. Underneath he wears a simple white shirt. His jeans are dark blue and are a bit too big for him, but he doesn't care. He wears sneakers most of the time though, which does remind people that he is a kid and not a mob member.


Personality: There is one word that describes Francis very well: Cocky. He thinks that there is not a person or thing that can best him in any way. Usually he is wrong and supplies himself embarrassment. When he gets angry he usually replies with his fists instead of thinking first. He likes his 'bad boy' look very much and thinks it makes him look 'totally awesome'. His muscles are his most precious possession and he likes to show himself off in the mirror.

But there is a side of Francis that people rarely see. He cares an awful lot about his family and their Pokemon. He frequently helps fix stuff with his dad, do chores with his mother and play with his little sister. Once he rescued a Smeargle he found living in a dumpster and took it back to his home. Now it is their pet and playmate. If anything were to threaten his family, he would make sure that they'd be sorry. He doesn't like talking about what happened to his brother.


History: Francis was born in Cherrygrove City in the Hospital as a second child. He was raised as a normal, happy kid with a few friends and a pet Nidoran to play with. His parent's always expected the best out of him, helping him at every opportunity. His big brother Sheldon, who would have been 21 when he started his journey, was also his best friend. He occasionally got into trouble, like giving the class pet Sentret a bad haircut with scizzors in Preschool. (Based on actual experience XD) Nothing too special went on in the first years.

When he was 7, Francis. gained his own personal phobia. One day when he was playing at the beach with Sheldon, he was attacked by a Krabby. Sheldon called on his Pikachu to fight back. It used Thunderbolt, but it missed and hit Leo instead. He has been scared of lightning and electric Pokemon ever since. This was also the time that his mum was pregnant with his little sister, Janice. He also saved a Smeargle from living on the street in a dumpster and took it as a pet.

The problems started at 13. His brother left on a journey around the Kanto region, as he wanted to explore another region, and left Francis alone. He grew lonely and got a big attitude. He was constantly fighting with his parents, even though he loved them. Then one day after school, he came home to the news that his brother was dead. There had been a cave in at Diglett's Cave and he had been crushed underneath it. Francis was shattered. The attitude stayed the same, but he was kind to his parents and his Smeargle. Sheldon had left him his backpack, which was the only remaining thing. Francis kept it with him everywhere he went. When he was seventeen, he was visiting his brother's grave. He suddenly had the idea of going on his own journey, to finish what Sheldon had started for him. At that moment, he made a promise to his brother that he would fight for him and told his parents that he was leaving.


Starter Choice: Cyndaquil

Name: Adrian Niko
Age: 18
Gender: Male

Appearence: Adrian is a little on the short side, about 4'11" tall, give or take around half an inch. It doesn't matter, as he's still incredibly short. His skin is incredibly pale, due to his albinism. His figure is that which is actually quite weak. He's pretty thin, and doesn't even look like he could really do much. His head is slightly large for his body-type. His hair is white, and is slicked back, the lowest his hair goes is the back of his neck. His eyes are red, and his nose is pointed outwards. His lips are kind of thin, and his mouth is

He wears sunglasses, due to necessity. The sun is bright, and his lack of pigments make it hurt. He also wears stuff that keeps his body hidden, both so he doesn't feel ashamed, and so he doesn't get himself hurt. Pale skin plus sunlight equals burns, after all. He wears a hat to farther keep the sun off of him, the hat has a pokeball symbol on it. He is also wearing a gray hoodie over a white shirt the former seeming to be a little large, and the latter looking to be smaller. His pants are tan and fairly long, actually dragging on the ground.

His shoes are white with black lines on them, and black laces. He also wears a small earring given to him from his older sister, taking the appearance of a small gem-like thing. His sunglasses look colored on the outside, looking orange to other people. His backpack is black and fairly large to accomidate his travels, holding many hidden compartments inside to hide stuff in.

Personality: Adrian is cold, and doesn't like humanity much, due to his outcast beginnings. Well, actually, that isn't true. At all. Adrian really is someone who likes to just hit back anyone who hits him, he is kind of like a kid, actually, believing that he should get his chance to get them back. He hates being teased for his weird look, and can get mad. He has many likes and dislikes as well.

He likes Delcatty and Persian, thinking of them as classy pokemon himself, and enjoys their company. He also likes ice type pokemon, who appear to have to go through the same he does, with the heat and the light. His favorite food is Hot Dogs with onions and mustard on it. His favorite pokemon has to be Weavile, due to their claws. He loves their claws.

He dislikes people who pick on people, due to his own past experiences. He is jealous of other people who don't get burns as easily, and can actually see without having protection on their eyes. His least favorite food is spaghetti, doesn't matter whether or not there is sauce on it. His least favorite pokemon is Volbeat, due to their tendancies to give him headaches.

History: Adrian was born in Pallet Town, on March 1st, 1991, to the couple of Michael and Angela Niko. His birth was like many others, his mother came out okay, and he didn't have too much problems, other then his albinality, so he was fit to go home in the morning. His sister, Alice Niko, at this time, age 6, was jealous of the attention Adrian was getting, and started to act out to get attention. Acting mean to Adrian to feel superior. When Adrian went outside, his mother always had to dress him like it was winter in order to keep him from getting burnt, causing some kids to laugh at him, and that was the beginning of his hatred of people who laughed at him.

Time passed, and he got into trainer school, like his sister before him. His grades were slightly above average, but he wasn't exceptionally good at his trade, so he sometimes tried to get help from smarter kids, but they didn't want to be bothered. Other kids decided to pick on him, and a few even called him names like 'demon' due to his red eyes. He didn't like that, and if they did pick on him, he punched them back, obviously getting in trouble. Over the years at trainer school, he managed to get some good grades, but he still wasn't slated to be anywhere near the best. He graduated about 50th in a class of about 220, so he was able to go on his quest. He decided to start in the Johto Region, because he heard that it was one of the tougher regions, and that not many from his class would start there with their own pokemon.

Adrian's sister, Alice, gave him one of her earrings before he left on his journey, for good luck. Adrian took it, knowing his sister wanted him to do better then when she tried. Adrian asked his dad what the journey was like, due to him having gone through it, and won a league belt. He said nothing, leaving Adrian to his own devices. Adrian left the next day, his dad getting him to New Bark Town without much trouble.

Starter Choice: Mudkip

Name: Henry Williams

Age: 13

Gender: He is a guy.

Appearance: Henry has a pretty average body structure for thirteen year old boy. He stands at 5'6 and weighs about 120 pounds. He has smooth, pale skin. He has red shaggy hair that just reaches under his eyes, and tiny little freckles that covers his nose and cheeks. His nose turns up a little bit at the tip, not to much to give him a pig nose though. Henry has large green eyes that has a very light brown bordering his pupil.

Henry usually wears plain color tees and denim jeans or shorts. In the summer you could usually see him sporting a tank top and is swimming shorts and a pair of "mandals." In the winter he normally wears a long sleeve shirt on with "puffy vest" over it, a pair of dark denim jeans, and timberland boots.

Personality: Henry is a pretty down to earth guy. Except he can get pretty moody if he doesn't get his food. Henry loves a good meal. He is definitely not a morning person, try waking him up earlier then 8 am is very difficult. He tends to shove his head in his pillow and scream "NOOOOO".

When competing in anything Henry gets serious. Even though is isn't really a sore loser, he isn't to fond of losing so, he just keeps practicing and practicing until he is perfect. So, yes, he is a perfectionist.

He likes fire type Pokemon but due to his history with him, his parents have begged him to stay away from them. So he has found an interest in bug Pokemon because they can be small but yet some can still pack a punch. His favorite Pokemon would have to be Pinsir because they are stong and a bug type. Double Whammy.

A few things that annoy him are; People tripping him, buying people ice cream, and when people take Pokemon over there limit, not cool.

Henry can have minor explosions sometimes. He likes to be right, so agruing with him is not fun.

History: Henry was born and raised in Johto. He has lived at the outskirts of Cherrygrove city were his family has owned a Pokemon Breeding Center for over 50 years. His mom was a Breeder and his dad was a Top Co-ordinator. They were both disappointed when Henry announced that he wanted to be a Pokemon Trainer.

Henry spent his toddlers days petting a few of the Pokemon that lived at the center, but once he turned 7 he was way more interested in playing video games he would play them untill he beat them with a very highscore, luckily he got out of that stage when he was ten. Since then he had enjoyed helping around at the Center with his parents. He would hang out in the forest area of the Center and just watch the Bug pokemon wander around.

Henry was never the best in school, he was quite average and had a C average. But he was late to school constantly because of his issue of waking up. He had the potential to do better in school he just didn't have the effort to do so. He didn't have very many friends because once they were in PE he would get mad and through a ball at their face if they told him he was out and he obvisouly wasn't. But, if they had a grade for lunch he would of got an A+, plus extra credit.

One day when Henry was 11, his father had let him take the family Magmar around town. After Him and Magmar bought some ice cream Henry noticed a boy from school. Henry told Magmar to go over to the boy and use ember on his hand because he was cold. The gullible Magmar obeyed Henry and scorched the boy's hand. Later, the authoroties found out that Henry was the mastermind behind this and ordered him to buy the Boy ice cream.

At the age of 13 Henry wanted to do something with his life, he wanted to become one of the very best trainer's out there. So, he packed his bags and headed for his journey.

Starter Choice: Eevee

Name: Mort Johnston
Age: 17
Gender: Male

Appearance:
Mort is on the tall side, standing at about an even six feet. His skin is on the slightly pale end of the peach side, if only because he rarely goes outside to enjoy the sun. Concerning his form, Mort has a lean body size with little (if any) muscle. He does a nightly routine of exercise, but in all truth, to him, it's just something he does so he doesn't get fat. Aside from his general body, Mort almost looks like any other caucasian male of his age. His facial features aren't very specific; lips are average, nose is straight, etc. The only moderately interesting thing about his face are his light blue eyes. It's the only special thing about his image, but Mort doesn't mind that too much. The only problem is, sometimes it's a bit hard to see his eyes. Mort has shaggy dirty brown hair that is generally in an odd disarray on top of his head. If he actually took the time to take care of it, Mort figures that his hair would go past his chin by about an inch or two. Instead, however, Mort just sticks to the bed-head look, making his hair look like a jumbled mess.

For clothes, Mort keeps it simple and wears things that he likes. He doesn't really give a care about what other people think of his wardrobe, so long as it's comfortable to him. Generally Mort can be seen in a pair of fading blue jeans and a fairly baggy t-shirt. The shirt is normally of a plain color such as black or white or blue, but sometimes Mort will wear a sweatshirt over it. His sweatshirts all have part of the necks cut out, because he can't stand the feeling of suffocation when any shirt is pressed up against his neck. Most of the time Mort wears a black hoodie with no emblem on it, though he does have other ones. As far as shoes, Mort wears a pair of beat up black Converse that have duct tape around them between the white on the edge of the shoe and it stops a little ways up the laces. He has a pair of glasses, but generally leaves them lying around and is rarely seen wearing them.

Personality:
In all truth, Mort has an unhealthy obsession with the meaning of his name. His name means death, and for some reason Mort just seems to be fascinated by that very topic. In fact, Mort quite frequently writes poems about death. Poetry is one of the very few things that Mort truly enjoys doing. Another thing he enjoys is drawing with various media, and once again the topic is most generally death. Sometimes he draws living things or writes poems about less morbid ideas, but really Mort considers his works subpar without the inclusion of death. Possibly because of his odd fascination, it might be the reason that Mort grew up as a social reject who preferred to spend time in his room writing poems instead of playing tackle football with his classmates.

Aside from his likes and odd fascinations, Mort has a very cool and uncaring personality. If he doesn't at first come off as someone who is weird and should be avoided, then he will generally come off as a freak who's not very good at interacting with people. It's not that Mort really tries to shove people away, it's just that, to him, it's become so familiar that Mort just can't help but do it. He likes company on certain occasions, he really does. It's just that Mort is very bad at expressing himself to others and wouldn't really know what to do. He also has a rather nonexistent relationship with his parents, which probably helped contribute to that factor.

Though he would never outright admit it, Mort sort of wants someone to care about him. He feels a bit lonely most times, but often shoves these feelings aside and falls into an almost depressed state where he writes his poems or draws. That's part of the reason Mort enjoys the company he has felt when he has been around Pokemon. Mort feels like they seem to understand him, and therefore he feels a special form of love that's reserved for most of the Pokemon he meets. In all reality, it's the only type of love that Mort has ever considered giving something or someone.

History:
Mort was born in a small town off the map of Johto that exists somewhere at the base of Mt. Silver. It was in that small town where he grew up with both parents in what should have been a perfectly fine and healthy relationship. Mort grew up perfectly normally until he was about five years old, the day he started school. He was soon made fun of because of his odd name, but Mort quickly defended his own honor by saying that he liked his name. Soon he began to distrust the people around him. He hated his parents for naming him something that got him made fun of so often, and hated the other kids because they made fun of him. He always felt like someone was talking behind his back, and no matter what he did Mort just couldn't shake the feeling that brought about his resentment.

By the time he was in his early teenage years, Mort had average grades and was thankful that it was his final year of gym class. For some reason Mort just hit a slump, that odd year that made all the angst of his life even worse. He managed to make it through school until he was sixteen, finally reasoning with his parents that he just couldn't take it anymore and he wanted to get out of the small town. His parents agreed, though they didn't like the idea very much and made Mort get a job at the local PokeMart. Mort sort of enjoyed the job, but he did get reprimanded a couple of times for writing poetry when he was supposed to be restocking the shelves.

Finally, after about a year or so of working at the PokeMart, Mort heard about the opportunity to go on a Pokemon journey offered by Professor Gold of New Bark Town. Mort immediately told his parents, quit his job, and then set off on foot to the town. He took a small pack that had everything he wanted in there, but other than that Mort crossed the mountain ranges alone. He was quite fine with that, too. He was especially fine with that once he realized that he could see the small town just in the distance.
