MAIN THREAD.
OPEN SPOTS:
Participants:
Name: Cirruna Kizan
Age: 12
Gender: Female
Appearance: Cirruna is the the size and weight of a normal 12 year old girl, being 150cm and 40kg. She has hip-length black hair, and she always wears it down. Sometimes she clips in red streaks of fake hair. Cirruna's eyes are both green, however when under certain light conditions her left eye is blue, and her right eye is green.
She likes to wear her blue and white stripy tank top, which she got as a tenth birthday present. She often wears black shorts, with faint dark blue stripes going vertically down them. For shoes, she wears pink sandals, with fake amythests on for decoration. She also wears a silver headband, with silver glitter on.
Personality: From her looks, Cirruna is quite clearly a girly girl. However, her personality is not that of a girly girl. Cirruna likes dressing in fashion, but she also likes playing sports. Football, basketball, netball, rugby, you name it, she's tried it. Cirruna prefers playing sports than dressing up, though. This is because she needs comfy,slack clothes so she can easily run and jump.
She is a kind, caring person who likes to help others. If a pokemon needs help, she will go to the extreme to help it, even risking her life for it. This is because a Pokemon saved her life one day, and she would like to pay Pokemon back. Also, Cirruna is against battling Pokemon to capture them, instead befriending them first. Also, Cirruna lets the Pokemon decide if they want to be her friends, instead of forcing them to battle with her. Cirruna also tries her best at everything, and rarely gives up.
History: Cirruna was born in Violet City, Johto. Her mother was a Dragon Trainer, so Cirruna grew up next to mythical Pokemon. Her father was a move tutor, teaching Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon and Frenzy Plant, so Cirruna grew up used to seeing those moves being used.
A frantic life was normal for Cirruna, for the reasons mentioned above. However, one day when Cirruna was seven things got a little too frantic. Cirruna and her mother were out for a walk near the pod near the Dragon Shrine, when Cirruna fell into the water! She splashed and splashed, trying to keep her head above water. The Pokemon of the pond must have heard Cirruna splashing, because a Goldeen surfaced and pushed Cirruna out of the water gently. Cirruna's mother thanked the Goldeen with a piece of her Dragonair's Pokemon food, before it swam back down to the bottom of the lake.
After that, Cirruna and her family lived a normal life. Now, she has been asked to participate in the Johto League. She is excited about starting her Pokemon journey and getting her first Pokemon.

Name: Cooper Phillips
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Cooper is the average height of around 6 foot and is ever so slightly plump. This large-ish build results in him also having rather big limbs - such as big, stubby fingers and clumsy looking feet. Cooper has fair, cream coloured skin and his hair is very wavy and 'full' looking - as it is quite thick and grows outward slightly. The hair itself is a rich brown colour, and this compliments his brown iris colour.
Clothing wise, Cooper opts for more simplistic wear - however adds his own touches. Most times, he will wear a button-up shirt with the top one or two buttons undone and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He favours deep blue jeans, however is not very fussy about trousers - swapping from day to day between them, cargo pants and so on. Cooper favours brown boots for footwear, and sometimes dosen't even bother to tie them up. He also likes his accessories - wearing a watch on his left wrist and a number of beads and so on around his right.
Personality: One word to best describe Cooper is 'optimist'. Cooper is not to always be taken seriously. He can be quite the goofy character, looking for enjoyment in things, one way or another. He has a great sense of humour - according to his friends, as he does not particularly like to boast. He is slightly lacking in intelligence - he isn't the smartest guy around - and there are many things he has trouble figuring out or has yet to learn. On top of this, he is near oblivious to any threats or dangers. Cooper dosen't push himself too much either. He's pretty lackluster, and has a number of lazy days. He goes by the theory of, "Don't get involved if it's got nothing to do with you" - to quote him (however, ironically, he always ends up getting himself into a number of complex situations due to his sheer obliviousness to his surroundings at times). The tendancy to not take certain things seriously can irritate others from time to time (namely his family), and at times, trying to get him to sit down and reason with you can be like pulling teeth. However this makes him a friendly individual, fun loving and never wanting to cause anyone any trouble. On occasions he can be rather loud too, bursting out whenever he is surprised or confused.
Cooper is also very strongly opinionated. He has a somewhat unique moral code, and will stand by it, even if it means trouble. He is neither blunt nor sharp when it comes to his responses - usually, he will say something as it is, likewise, he will give witty responses and make the other person think. One more thing. Cooper loves food. He likes nearly every edible thing on the planet, and never lets food go to waste. He will jump at the chance of food, and often the desire to eat will get in the way of his basic line of thought.
History: Cooper Phillips is from Johto himself, having grown up in Cherrygrove City. He lives with his family there - a mother, father and a sister who is little over a year older than he is. His parents worked together with the same firm, meaning that they could communicate during working hours; swapping shifts if neccesary in order to look after their children and their home. As Cooper and his older sister got older, there was less urgency to have someone supervise them, however this didn't neccisarily mean Cooper was becoming more responsible. He became quite carefree in his attitude to things - he didn't take great care of the house, his homework for school started being handed in late and/or unfinished. All in all, his studies suffered - but he knew it was down to his lack of motivation, he never blamed anyone else but himself for it.
In the grand scheme of things, however, these are minor issues. Nothing major has ever happened in Cooper's 15 years alive, which could quite possibly result in his carefree approach to life and his constant optamistic attitude. This ability to see the bright side of almost anything and joke about life's little things has resulted in him developing a strong sense of humour. His school friends (whom he has been friends with since they were toddlers) often appreciate his humour, constantly telling him to pursue it.
Cooper has quite a basic relationship with pokemon. He treats every one as if they were people - asking them how their day was or having trivial conversations with them, even though he knows they can't speak back to him (the fact they can understand is enough for him). For the past few years, he would have loved to have one of his own, to call his 'main man' as he puts it (or indeed 'main girl', but he always thought that sounded creepy). However, he has been discouraged from it due to schoolwork - back when he was thirteen, for example, it was a risk too big for him to just abandon education and bank on being a trainer.
Now, however, he has a number of decent grades, there is a backup plan for him. So naturally, he was overjoyed to find out he had been selected to recieve his own pokemon and travel Johto. The idea that he could help Johto, after it's recent... situation, by participating in its own league, excited him even more. To make matters all the more suitable, his parents are also encouraging him - at least, in their view, he'll be doing something instead of wasting his days.

Name: Celeste "Selly" Ingerfield
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Appearance:
From her looks, most would assume her to be an eight year old child. Her body is a bit underdeveloped, a tiny frame, and only 4'1", but cheeks still chubby from baby fat. She has long legs in comparison to her ams, which are shorter and less slender. She has olive skin, and appears to be of Malaysian descent, though is most likely a mix. Her hair is thick and black, tied up into two tight pigtails. Her almond eyes are a deep shade of brown, and has thick eyebrows.
Her clothing style is very silly, and often rather gaudy, but in an innocent way. She loves bright colors, and dresses like a clown, so she typically wears frilly and polka-dotted dresses with long striped socks and shoes, but when she's looking for something more comfortable, she wears pants. Her travel attire consists of a red and orange striped shirt, blue denim overalls with orange buttons, and bright pink and green pockets. Her long white socks are covered in rainbow polka-dots, with neon green converses. She also has a small, yellow backpack that is covered in doodles.
Personality:
Selly is a hyper-active girl, who loves to entertain. She can't stand to see unhappy people, so she always tries to make things better, even if she sometimes ends up making the situation worse. She loves to tell jokes, make funny faces, and singing songs. She has a cheerful disposition, and innocent optimism, making her very pleasant to be around. However, she can be considered rather annoying, to those with a more pessimistic outlook.
Despite being a teenager, she behaves like a young child. This is partially due to the environment she was raised in. Her whole family was jolly and never acted their age, plus being the youngest, she was often spoiled. Her innocence makes her rather naive, and since she lacks a formal education, she isn't very smart when it comes to many topics. She is a fast learner, but it takes detailed explanation for her to understand something.
One of her notable qualities is her high energy. Everything she does is filled with enthusiasm. She is constantly doing something active, such as playing games like Tag, or climbing up trees. However, it is hard for her to sit still, and she can be rather impatient. If she has to wait a long time for something, she gets bored of it easily. Her attention span is short.
History:
Whether it was death, an accident, or maybe she was just unwanted, Selly ended up as an orphan on the doorstep of a traveling circus. The ring master decided to take her in as his daughter, but the whole troop was family to her. Even though, when she was a bit older, people asked if she ever wanted to find her real parents, she would get upset, because she already had a family, it didn't matter if none them were technically related. Circus life was very fun for her as a child. Though she was treated like the ring master's daughter, she worked and performed in the circus like everyone else. She learned to do many different acrobatic tricks, juggling, and loved to work with the clowns.
The war managed to change things up for the circus. Normally freely traveling between Johto and Kanto, they were only able to stay in Johto. The troop members who were originally from Kanto, were being harassed by major supporters of the war, so they decided to take an early retirement. The circus wasn't very active during then, which made Selly a bit upset, that people fighting could make everyone else unhappy as well. Once it started to wear down, however, they managed to start up once again, with a couple of replacements.
One of the new members they had was a Pokémon Tamer, someone who performed with many different Pokémon and trained them to do circus tricks. Selly was fascinated by them, and wanted to become one too. However, he was overly protective of his Pokémon, and didn't want anyone other than him to even think about handling them. Still, she wanted to learn how she could train with Pokémon, so he suggested that she go to school and learn about them there.
Even though she loved the circus, she decided that she would try going to school, for a little while, then return to performing. However, things didn't exactly work out smoothly. When she went to get registered for school, they didn't have any of her personal information known. Though they managed to work things out, her days at school were complicated. She didn't know anything about the basics of what they were teaching, and her grades were suffering pretty badly. Other kids made fun of her and called her a circus freak.
Though she made some friends, it was a very hard time. Thankfully, her name was one that was picked, so she could leave school, and just have Pokémon for herself. Unfortunately, it meant leaving her family for a long time until she finished the League. There was a tearful farewell, but great words of encouragement. Promising to finish up quickly, she packed her belongings, which wasn't very much, and headed off to New Bark Town.

Name: Maya Hino
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Maya is a rather curvy (not at all fat though) average height girl. The first thing you notice is probably her hair; it's black, almost purple shining, and curly and almost always put up into some kind of interesting knot, or the long fringe is held back by a couple of clips at the back of the head. If that's not the first thing you notice, then perhaps it's her dark brown skin, her big lips or bright smile showing all her teeth or her huge eyelashes. Maya uses mascara, but she will soon notice that it's quite the bother when you're traveling the countryside without much clean water to wash yourself in.
Her clothing is usually comprised by shorts, purple or dark blue, bare legs and a pig pair of white sneakers. These will probably become a bit messy... very soon. On her upper body, she usually wears a tight t-shirt or tube top when she can, usually a bright, cheerful color like white or yellow. When it gets a bit colder, she puts on a bright gray zip-hood and when that doesn't cut it, she puts on her black, rather thick raincoat, which is very neatly curled up inside her backpack most of the time.
She wears a big watch, almost a bit manly, on her left wrist. On her right arm, she wears a golden (not real gold) bracelet which is said to be from her mother. Other than that, she wears 2 golden rings (real gold! but don't tell anybody) in both of her ears, meaning 4 rings total.
Personality: (read history for all this to make sense) For being the oldest in a family of 5 siblings, her approach on things is awfully light. When faced with a problem, her motherly instincts sure do kick in - she want to protect as many as possible - but the past couple of years has made her a bit more selfish and maybe even a litttttle bit greedy. The money she has earned, she has been wanting to keep for herself, at least part of it. There is a constant battle within her between the kind part of her that wants to do what is right, and the part of her that says there should be nothing wrong with doing what serves you the best.
She smiles a lot, flashing all her bright teeth. She usually is pretty happy, especially since she got the opportunity to become a real pokémon trainer. She had always dreamed of doing something greater! But at the same time, she is feeling guilty about leaving her family in Goldenrod. She tries to push away the guilt by saying it's for their sake as well that she's doing this. If she will earn money on her journey, she will send it home... for sure.
She is cheerful when meeting new people and has a firm handshake. She might even come off as a little loud and burly. She isn't the one to mourn or mope around, but when she is alone she can actually be staring out into the distance sometimes... wondering what things would be like if her mother was still alive.
History: Maya is the oldest sister in a rather poor family of 5 siblings. Her younger brother, Kohaku, is 12 and her sisters are 9, 8 and 6. Their father is working hard in the basement of the Goldenrod Dept. Store every day and sometimes at night, to bring in enough money to feed the family, who is living in an apartment in the southern part of the City. Maya has been working part-time for several years now in the Flower Shop, to help bring in money, and Kohaku has just started working part-time as a cleaner in the Game Corner, where he actually earns a lot but has to work hard. By contrast, Maya doesn't really earn a lot in the Flower Shop even though she has been working there for some time now, but she enjoys it and is friends with the owning sisters.
Growing up being not as wealthy as others in the Goldenrod metropolis wasn't easy. Sometimes Maya was teased but she learned to response jokingly to all teasing and finally people respected (or feared) her even though she wasn't wearing the most fancy clothing or having much to eat every day. She had to protect her brother from bullies from times to times, as he isn't really as strong-minded and rough as Maya has learned to be. Maybe that is because she is protecting him... but she could never not do it. Everybody who cares know by now that Maya's younger sisters are related to her, and they are not made fun of. Maya sort of took the hit for the family, though the aftermath has fallen upon Kohaku to bear.
Their mother died when Maya's younger sister was born. Their father was greatly depressed by this and didn't work for a while. But he finally shaped up, with the help of his sister, Maya's aunt, who lives close by with her own family, and grew to completely love his youngest daughter, giving her the name of their mother, Aiko. Maya then took the role of mother in the family, even though she was reluctant in the beginning. She hasn't been having an easy time these past 6 years, none of them have. But their father taught them that as long as they had love, they would be happy, and that was the only thing that really meant something in life.

Selly was fascinated by them, and wanted to become one too. However, he was overly protective of his Pokémon, and didn't want anyone other than him to even think about handling them. Still, she wanted to learn how she could train with Pokémon, so he suggested that she go to school and learn about them there.
Even though she loved the circus, she decided that she would try going to school, for a little while, then return to performing. However, things didn't exactly work out smoothly. When she went to get registered for school, they didn't have any of her personal information known. Though they managed to work things out, her days at school were complicated. She didn't know anything about the basics of what they were teaching, and her grades were suffering pretty badly. Other kids made fun of her and called her a circus freak.
Though she made some friends, it was a very hard time. Thankfully, her name was one that was picked, so she could leave school, and just have Pokémon for herself. Unfortunately, it meant leaving her family for a long time until she finished the League. There was a tearful farewell, but great words of encouragement. Promising to finish up quickly, she packed her belongings, which wasn't very much, and headed off to New Bark Town.

Spoiler:
Name: Maya Hino
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Maya is a rather curvy (not at all fat though) average height girl. The first thing you notice is probably her hair; it's black, almost purple shining, and curly and almost always put up into some kind of interesting knot, or the long fringe is held back by a couple of clips at the back of the head. If that's not the first thing you notice, then perhaps it's her dark brown skin, her big lips or bright smile showing all her teeth or her huge eyelashes. Maya uses mascara, but she will soon notice that it's quite the bother when you're traveling the countryside without much clean water to wash yourself in.
Her clothing is usually comprised by shorts, purple or dark blue, bare legs and a pig pair of white sneakers. These will probably become a bit messy... very soon. On her upper body, she usually wears a tight t-shirt or tube top when she can, usually a bright, cheerful color like white or yellow. When it gets a bit colder, she puts on a bright gray zip-hood and when that doesn't cut it, she puts on her black, rather thick raincoat, which is very neatly curled up inside her backpack most of the time.
She wears a big watch, almost a bit manly, on her left wrist. On her right arm, she wears a golden (not real gold) bracelet which is said to be from her mother. Other than that, she wears 2 golden rings (real gold! but don't tell anybody) in both of her ears, meaning 4 rings total.
Personality: (read history for all this to make sense) For being the oldest in a family of 5 siblings, her approach on things is awfully light. When faced with a problem, her motherly instincts sure do kick in - she want to protect as many as possible - but the past couple of years has made her a bit more selfish and maybe even a litttttle bit greedy. The money she has earned, she has been wanting to keep for herself, at least part of it. There is a constant battle within her between the kind part of her that wants to do what is right, and the part of her that says there should be nothing wrong with doing what serves you the best.
She smiles a lot, flashing all her bright teeth. She usually is pretty happy, especially since she got the opportunity to become a real pokémon trainer. She had always dreamed of doing something greater! But at the same time, she is feeling guilty about leaving her family in Goldenrod. She tries to push away the guilt by saying it's for their sake as well that she's doing this. If she will earn money on her journey, she will send it home... for sure.
She is cheerful when meeting new people and has a firm handshake. She might even come off as a little loud and burly. She isn't the one to mourn or mope around, but when she is alone she can actually be staring out into the distance sometimes... wondering what things would be like if her mother was still alive.
History: Maya is the oldest sister in a rather poor family of 5 siblings. Her younger brother, Kohaku, is 12 and her sisters are 9, 8 and 6. Their father is working hard in the basement of the Goldenrod Dept. Store every day and sometimes at night, to bring in enough money to feed the family, who is living in an apartment in the southern part of the City. Maya has been working part-time for several years now in the Flower Shop, to help bring in money, and Kohaku has just started working part-time as a cleaner in the Game Corner, where he actually earns a lot but has to work hard. By contrast, Maya doesn't really earn a lot in the Flower Shop even though she has been working there for some time now, but she enjoys it and is friends with the owning sisters.
Growing up being not as wealthy as others in the Goldenrod metropolis wasn't easy. Sometimes Maya was teased but she learned to response jokingly to all teasing and finally people respected (or feared) her even though she wasn't wearing the most fancy clothing or having much to eat every day. She had to protect her brother from bullies from times to times, as he isn't really as strong-minded and rough as Maya has learned to be. Maybe that is because she is protecting him... but she could never not do it. Everybody who cares know by now that Maya's younger sisters are related to her, and they are not made fun of. Maya sort of took the hit for the family, though the aftermath has fallen upon Kohaku to bear.
Their mother died when Maya's younger sister was born. Their father was greatly depressed by this and didn't work for a while. But he finally shaped up, with the help of his sister, Maya's aunt, who lives close by with her own family, and grew to completely love his youngest daughter, giving her the name of their mother, Aiko. Maya then took the role of mother in the family, even though she was reluctant in the beginning. She hasn't been having an easy time these past 6 years, none of them have. But their father taught them that as long as they had love, they would be happy, and that was the only thing that really meant something in life.
