Name: Avery Greene
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Profession: Trainer / Traveling Student
Appearance:
Avery doesn't fail to deliver the appearance of a perfect girl at first glance, giving off a complete aura of innocence. Cute in all respects, you definitely wouldn't label her for the bookish kind of girl that travels all over the world. Her hair, a light chestnut brown in colour - it's wavy lower-back reaching locks bound by a white tie on the left of her head and a black, flower shaped ornament with silver beads running around it on the right - is only complimented by her wide eyes. The eyes are similar in colour to her hair, but they are lightly darker so that they stand out against her thick head of hair and well cared for skin. She's rather tall for her age, standing at about 5'7", but this fact only accents her lean, quickly maturing body. She dons her thin body in an outfit that's simple, yet fashionable. Her top is a strapped, completely revealing her bare shoulders and arms while the pale yellow material decorates her torso, fine black stitching seen going down both sides and the bottom, a black triangle resting where her chest is and connecting to the black straps of the shirt. Her skirt an oddity, it consists of several layers. The bottom layer is a completely yellow skirt that matches her yellow shirt, but the layer on top is translucent black in colour, with black frills at the top, making the upper part of the skirt appear to be a brown-yellow in colour. Black thigh-highs run from her feet to just below where her skirt ends, leaving some skin showing. Finally, a pair of small black ballet flats covers her dainty feet, completing her ensemble.
Personality:
Innocent in nature, Avery has a very broad view of the world at large due to her constant traveling and studying. The girl's kindness and politeness is overwhelming, she takes exceptional care of her Pokémon, giving them the Pokéchow with highest recommendations, using the most recent massage and various other techniques to relax them, and making sure they stay happy and healthy. As a result, all of her Pokémon are very loyal to her, and they seem to shine in battle. Although, while around others, she is often pressured into helping other people with their Pokémon. Nothing good has come of this, and she now sees most others as incapable of caring for Pokémon. She's at the point where she habitually cares for the creatures of another, just because she feels it's her responsibility. Another thing she takes a shine to is fashion. She loves to make sure she is wearing the trendiest clothes, and keeping herself clean and tidy is a priority. If she wasn't preoccupied with other things, Avery may have made a rather good coordinator.
Her overall sweet persona, however, is occasionally stirred by her tendency to point out the bitter truth that is derived from her veracious demeanor. She has problems reading the mood, so if speaking the truth is something that is unwise at the time, she is usually completely oblivious to the fact, which usually leads to hurt feelings. Her other flaws include an extremely short fuse when it comes to being judged. The girl doesn't feel that other people have the right to negatively judge her or her Pokémon after how much work and effort they have put into living their lives, and if she feels their honor is threatened then she will get angry to the point of completely ignoring the one she feels is at fault. Avery also has a tendency to hesitate when it comes to conflict, having been raised to be a scholar and passive in nature. Also, if it comes down to it and there isn't something of value for Avery to study, she habitually drops all of what she's doing in order to examine it.
History:
Avery was born and raised amidst the snowy hills of Snowpoint City, although her current appearance would not suggest that in the least. Born 14 years ago to Edward and Alicia Greene, the girl had always been one with a curiosity for the unknown. From the moment she learned to speak, she was constantly trying to understand what things were, where they came from, what their relationships were with everything else, and so on. It was for this reason that she was admitted to Snowpoint's premier educational facility for studying, while most children were off slacking until a time when they could get their own Pokémon and explore the world. In her spare time as a child, she spent a lot of time around the Snowpoint Temple, exploring and befriending the local Pokémon. It was here that she met a Froslass that she became close friends with, only for it to fall sick and pass away when she was but 10 years old.
The sorrow she felt from the loss of her friend eventually manifested itself into a longing - a longing to see the world while continuing her studies. Avery understood that her understanding of things could only go so far cooped up in Snowpoint, and thus she would have to travel to learn of the reasons behind life and death for all living things on the planet. Since she was at the proper age to travel on her own Pokémon adventure, her parents granted her permission to do so. Armed with a Sentret provided to her by family in Johto, she embarked on the greatest quest of her life, traveling from region to region, city to city, meeting various people and Pokémon alike while studying at various schools in these regions for short periods of time.
Currently, she is off studying in Fortree City of Hoenn...
Plates: Icicle Plate + Insect Plate
Pokémon:
Furret (♀)
Originally her starter Pokémon, Furret has been with Avery since it was merely a Sentret. It was originally captured in Johto and sent to the girl in Sinnoh, where it was warmly welcomed and quickly brought on the road with the girl. Furret has been a valuable companion for the human girl, as it has seen as much of the planet as Avery herself has seen. A girl herself, the Furret is constantly grooming herself to make sure she looks in tip-top shape so that she doesn't clash with her trainer's constant attempts to stay stylish. Friendly by nature, she gets along with all of Avery's other Pokémon, although not all of them want to get along with her.
Venomoth (♂)
This Venomoth came into Avery's possession under unusual circumstances indeed. When the girl arrived in Kanto after traveling all the way by boat from Sinnoh, it was mixed in with her luggage. After almost a full day of searching, she eventually came to find its owner, only to learn that the trainer had discarded it on purpose after it had helped him win a Gym Battle. Feeling pity for the giant insect, Avery took it in as her own. Venomoth had issues with the sudden change at first, but it eventually learned to cope and is now a valued member of the girl's team. It doesn't get along particularly well with Taillow, whom it shares a favorite food with and is constantly bickering with it over who gets to eat it.
Taillow (♂)
Caught in Hoenn only hours after arriving in the faraway region, Taillow has always been rather arrogant; often biting off more than it can chew. It thinks of itself as unbeatable in battle due to its smaller size and quick pace, but truth be told if it would swallow it's pride and allow itself to evolve, it would probably be a lot stronger. Very protective of its trainer, Taillow would probably go as far as to place its life on the line for Avery's own protection. Failure to do so would probably leave it severely wounded emotionally. Constantly bickering with Avery's other Pokémon, he has particular animosity towards Venomoth over a series of misunderstandings. However, the two can work together if the situation calls for it.
Luxray (♂)
By far Avery's strongest Pokémon, Luxray was the girl's first real capture after encountering it as a Shinx while traveling through Route 203 in Sinnoh. What was once a cute and innocent Pokémon in its youth, eventually gained a hardened attitude as it evolved and became more battle wary. It now holds the spot of the girl's most reliable Pokémon - not only for its battle prowess, but because Luxray can see through objects, it has become a valuable asset for her studies. Amidst all of Avery's other Pokémon, Luxray holds the tentative position of leader if anything were to happen to their trainer. Most of the girl's other creatures respect him, aside from Taillow who doesn't see Luxray as much of anything but a showoff.
Quilava (♀)
Received from Professor Elm during her travels in Johto as just a Cyndaquil, Avery's Quilava is as reliable as it is silly. It's more or less the jokester of the party, often playing pranks on others and usually receiving due punishment for these pranks via attacks from fellow Pokémon. Overall, Quilava gets used a lot by Avery both in battle for its strong fire attacks, but outside of battle she is often used for starting fires and such to cook food. It also has an exceptional sense of smell, one that often leads her in the right direction when she's lost or if she's tracking something important - for example if one of her Pokémon runs away like her Taillow once did.
Lapras (♀)
The Lapras was a gift Avery received in Kanto from relatives she had there. They lived alongside the sea, a bay nearby where many Lapras took shelter during storms. Often, her family tended to the sick and injured Lapras in the aftermath of these storms, and one such event occurred while Avery was visiting. She treated a young Lapras which became attached to her and decided to come along on her adventure. Lapras is a very calm and gentle Pokémon, not usually starting any kind of conflict with Avery's others. She is an invaluable Pokémon when it comes to traveling across water, as due to her size, surfing is nothing but practical.
Name: Rene White
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Profession: Archaeologist / Ex-Rocket Member
Appearance:
At a first glance, Rene doesn't appear to be the type of person that could possibly be an ex-Rocket member, let alone a member of Olivine's Rocket resistance movement. He keeps himself rather well-kept, with his wavy blue hair resting in a manner that could be considered either neat or messy depending on the person, a top his head. His eyes, turquoise in colour, always seem to be wary, watching for any impending dangers or discrepancies.
Personality:
An emotionally torn person as a child, over time Rene grew and matured and shed the little boy he used to be. In his youth he suffered from abandonment issues after being ripped from his horrible family and being placed in Team Rocket due to his parents own mistakes. These issues lead to sleep loss, hunger loss, as well as making him anti-social. Of course, the horrible treatment he received from the member of Team Rocket certainly didn't help any. As time passed, however, and he met many people and did many regrettable things, he began to grow personality wise. He began to confide in people, other than just his Pokémon, which helped him develop his own path. He never had any particular attachment to his abusive family, but he still loved them enough to stay with Team Rocket despite his dislike, to save their lives. He was a compassionate person with a strong sense of justice, a sense he couldn't express in his current forced employment.
However, when Team Rocket disbanded, he was allowed to let his real self break free. It came as a shock to him when he returned home and found his parents had been killed, so he spent the next year mourning, although swearing he'd stay on the straight and narrow. When he eventually met the girl whom would become his employer, he began to show his true self to her. She understood his sorrows, accepted his past, and gave him a reason to do more than just mope around. For this girl who couldn't travel on her own, this girl that listened to him, he would travel Kanto and Johto, excavating and exploring for the girl. Of course, he also needed the money, so it worked out well. What? Money was important too!
He was always the type of person who persevered no matter the challenge, and his own guilt during his time with Team Rocket portrays his own compassion for the lives of humans and Pokémon alike. He isn't a very social person, however, not usually talking unless he's talked to first. He also has a bad habit of acting on his own - a negative trait he received from his time spent with Team Rocket. As of yet, he hasn't had to face up for any of the crimes he committed, and until he does he will be carrying the heavy weight of guilt on his shoulders. However, he's slowly starting to clear his mind by doing good - such as driving Rocket members out of Olivine, for one. Rene is very protective of his friends and allies, especially if he sees them as weak and defenseless. For example, children and women, at least in his eyes, are people that need protecting. In fact, his sense of justice is so strong, you probably wouldn't believe he was a Rocket member even if he told you so.
History:
Rene White, born in Olivine City amidst the Johto region 18 years prior to the destruction of Mount Coronet, has a very interesting past. From the moment he was born to Illia and Frederick White, he was subject to terrible abuse. His family was rather disjointed, you see, with parents that gambled and took out the stress of their losses on their son. This continued for years, with the boy unable to do anything about it. However, shortly after Rene's ninth birthday, Team Rocket members arrived at his home to collect the debt his parents owed. When they found his parents couldn't pay the price, they decided to take something else as a warning: Rene. Of course, his parents really couldn't have cared less. After all, he was just a whiny little brat whom inhibited their ability to spend all their money on gambling. They were better off without him.
Meanwhile, Rene was being forced into the lifestyle of a Rocket member. He began to have abandonment issues, which incited both eating and sleeping disorders, as well as causing him to withdraw from people, even the relatively nice Rocket members who only wanted to help the pathetic little kid. It took two years for the boy to overcome his issues and become a model member of the scourge team of Kanto, of course after being transferred to the Kanto unit. Before his transfer, however, he was granted a Natu that was destined to become his closest companion. For the next three years, he did a lot of things he found he'd later regret despite the training he'd received. As he was forced to hurt more and more people, more and more Pokémon, he became more aware of his disgust for what he was doing. Of course, there was no way out of Team Rocket for him, because even though he hated them for being so horrible to him, he still valued his parents lives - something that would be taken if he ran away.
However, Rene received a once in a lifetime chance to return to a normal life. To much shock amongst the organization and the world, Team Rocket disbanded, apparently after the leader, Giovanni, was defeated by some kid in red clothes. With this miracle came Rene's freedom, and he quickly returned home to Olivine to check on his family. What he found came as quite a shock to him, as both his parents had died two years ago as their gambling debt had caught up with them. In mourning, he stayed at his home in Olivine for the next year as he contemplated what to do from then on. Surprisingly, his answer came from a young girl he befriended. She was small, and always said the silliest things like she was the Gym Leader of the gym in town. Rene never believed the young girl, Jasmine, however. He had never seen the leader himself, but surely it wasn't such a small girl. Anyways, she suggested that Rene embark on a mission for her. Since it was impossible for her to travel herself, she wanted Rene to travel to various ruins and caves and take pictures and stuff to bring back to her in order to further her understanding of Johto and Kanto. He would have, of course, been paid. Having nothing better to do, and thinking the traveling would clear his mind, he agreed.
Things continued like this for two years as he visited places like the Ruins of Alph and the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town. He occasionally reported back to Jasmine, the two become close friends as the years passed. It was three years after Team Rocket disbanded that things became iffy again, however. Team Rocket reassembled under a new leader with a much stronger hold in Johto. They called themselves Neo Team Rocket, and they became a nuisance in the daily lives of people everywhere. Rene was approached several times to rejoin by old teammates, but refused every time, often getting into battles after being instigated by the Rocket members. For this, he was labeled as a traitor and was forced to take shelter in Olivine City in order to make it easier to avoid the Rocket members. Jasmine took him in, and he became a member of Olivine's protection group, charged with keeping Rocket's influence out of the city. Similar cases of groups appearing in other Johto cities were becoming more common as well.
To this very day, he takes up such a post.
Plates: Mind Plate + Spooky Plate
Pokémon:
Xatu(♂)
The Natu that was given to Rene when he first became a Rocket member, it has been a loyal and kind companion for all of the years they had been together. Like it's trainer, it showed remorse for the terrible things it had to do during it's term with Team Rocket, and it wasn't until after they disbanded that the Natu allowed itself to evolve into Xatu. Very wary by nature, the Mystic Pokémon doesn't really move a lot outside of battle. It would rather stand around and observe. The past, the future, the present, it could see all of these things. Therefore, it had no reason to move. When it comes to battle, however, Xatu changes it's focus completely to it's opponent. It's more or less the odd one out personality wise in Rene's party.
Scizor (♂)
Scizor was provided to Rene by Team Rocket for a certain mission back when he was a member. It was already fully evolved, and had little to no respect for the trainer whom he was assigned to. Obedience was rare, which lead to the mission in question ending in failure. Despite this, however, he was assigned to keep the Scizor as it may be useful for future endeavors. Things were tense between Rene and Scizor for a long time, but as they traveled together and Rene became a stronger person, the Pokémon began to become more obedient. When Rocket disbanded, nobody came to collect the Pincer Pokémon, so it stayed in the boy's possession of it's own will. It wanted to see how much more the boy could grow.
Crobat (♂)
Like almost all Rocket members, Rene was required to carry a Zubat on him at all times. The Zubat he received was energetic and well behaved, so it got along well with it's trainer and fellow Pokémon. When it eventually evolved into a Golbat, and then a Crobat when he began working for Jasmine, it retained this energetic persona, making for a fast and powerful bat. It's often made fun of by other Pokémon, however, for it's inability to walk properly due to having wings as legs. It is close friends with Rene's Xatu, as the two have been together with their trainer for almost the same amount of time. It doesn't like other Pokémon taking all the affection, and often gets jealous.
Hitmontop (♂)
Hitmontop first came to Rene as a Tyrogue he received at the Dojo in Saffron City. He was challenged to train it in a manner that would balance it's attack and defense, thus evolving it into a Hitmontop, with the prize being the Pokémon itself. The boy took the challenge, and managed to succeed through much pain and sweat. The Hitmontop that emerged from the bright white light of Tyrogue's evolution was a serious Pokémon whom liked to fight. Battle was it's calling, and it was a calling it wouldn't ignore. One of Rene's top battle choices, it's balanced attack and defense makes it a dangerous contender in a physical fight.
Haunter (♂)
While exploring the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town, the boy encounter a Gastly that bore some sort of ill will against him, most likely for disturbing it's slumber. The Pokémon attacked him without relent, and Rene was forced to put him down with Xatu. For the heck of it, he also captured the ball of gas, as he felt it would be able to help him more thoroughly explore the tower. It turned out to be more than helpful, and he brought it back to Olivine City with him. During their travels, they formed a bond that was only breakable by Xatu, whom the Gastly seemed to still dislike for KOing it back at the tower. It eventually evolved into a Haunter through much battle experience.
Horsea (♀)
The most recent of Rene's Pokémon, Horsea was caught accidentally while the boy was fishing down by the sea in Olivine. When he hooked it, it was already severely injured, most likely after being attacked by a hungry Pokémon in the ocean, and it could barely move. Out of the goodness of his heart, the youth nursed the Seahorse Pokémon back to full health. In order to repay Rene for doing so, the Horsea decided to stay at his side, often helping him in battle with his many Rocket encounters. Horsea herself seems to have a personal dislike towards Team Rocket, which has lead him to wonder if her wounds were related to them somehow. Naturally, she garners a lot of Rene's affection, which has recently irritated his Crobat a lot.
