I wouldn't mind joining! Hoping to be one of the sub-leaders.
Name: Xylous Gray Ciridian
Nickname: Baron
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Region: Currently stationed in Johto
History: Since he was born, Xylous has always attracted more attention than he ever wanted. In fact, while he was living on the peaceful island of Mossdeep, Hoenn with his Pokemon Mawile and Aron (which is currently an Aggron and not with him), his battle skills were acknowledged by the Gym Leaders, Tate and Liza. He eventually came to surpass their skills, and began wandering the Hoenn region. At the time, he had a full team of highly-trained Pokemon with him. Soon, he entered the league, and placed fairly well (while not winning). After a few years, he discovered that there were hardly any trainers that could stand up to him, so he traveled to Kanto, where he heard rumors of powerful trainers. It was true; his win ratio decreased to nearly 1:2. However, he enjoyed the strength that he was gaining. He didn't regret it at all.
Naturally, he wandered into the Johto region, where he heard of a team called Cosmic. Being some time after the events of the renowned evil teams, Xylous joined. It didn't take long for Xylous to discover the evil intentions of this team. Now he doesn't know what he got himself into, and questions his own motives. It will only take time for him to truly discover what he wants to do.
Appearance: Fortunately, Xylous has been blessed with sharp features that flow well with his looks. Xylous stands around five feet, 10 inches. He has spiky, white hair that remains hidden underneath a red and white striped bandanna. The white hair juts out from the bandanna, covering one of his eyes. The sharp hair complements his sharply-angled eyes, a trait that a lot of Hoenn natives share. His irises are clear and dark-colored, giving his eyes an overall mysterious tone that hides his emotions quite well. He has a somewhat-small mouth, which matches his self-reserved personality. His head is shaped off with a (you guessed it) sharp chin and stout neck.
Xylous wears an open, dark brown leather jacket over a plain white tee shirt. The jacket is a bit short on him, revealing the bottom of his shirt to be tucked into a belt that holds up his jeans. The jeans aren’t exactly baggy, but not tight; in fact, they are just right on Xylous. His shoes are a similar color to that of his leather jacket. Xylous also wears black fingerless gloves on each hand.
Overall, Xylous is in great shape due to living on a tropical island for most of his life. His sleek, defined shape makes this very evident.
Personality: When around those he doesn't know, Xylous is very self-reserved, saying no more than what is necessary. He has a very dry sense of humor, often saying a smart remark that could possibly get someone enraged, but usually only makes his foes angry (sometimes his friends and/or allies on accident). Despite his seemingly-cool nature, he is surprisingly naive. Xylous is a very spontaneous individual, and very righteous. He will not hesitate to change his plans, or even put himself in danger, in order to help an ally. However, his spontaneity often throws others for a loop. Xylous is known to appear at the oddest times, which some might consider very unreliable. Xylous also adopts his own techniques depending on the situation, which goes well with his impulsive nature. His ideal is to change the situation to better suit himself and put any foe into a situation that they have never dealt with. In short, Xylous plays mind tricks, but it's usually unintentional.

Pokemon personality:
Mawile is a sassy, small Pokemon that does as she pleases. However, she is a trustworthy partner for Xylous, and Xylous's fallback option in any battle. Mawile has been through everything with Xylous since the very beginning.
Pawniard is the newest addition to Xylous's team, after running into it after it was abandoned by a trainer. Pawniard battles its hardest, often ignoring Xylous's orders. It doesn't trust humans since it was abandoned.
Metang is a strong Pokemon that was given to him by fellow Steel-type enthusiast Steven Stone when it was a Beldum. It is very defiant and likes battling. When things get rough, though, Metang is known to lose its temper and attack relentlessly.
Magnezone is a powerhouse of Xylous's team. It is very analytic (not to be confused with its ability) and obeys Xylous without hesitation.
Bronzor is more on the mysterious side when it comes to Xylous's Pokemon. It is completely silent, and usually follows Xylous's commands. Since it is one of the newer Pokemon on his team, Xylous doesn't even know much about it.
Steelix is like a giant puppy dog. It shows its affection by hugging Xylous, which often results in injury on Xylous's part. It battles as best it can, but its clumsy movements often prevent it from opening its full potential.
