Here's my signup, Val.
Name: Sapphire Birch
Gender: Female
Age: 13
Appearance: (x)
Personality: Sapphire is the resident almost-feral child, easily mistaken for a Pokemon during first meetings...or maybe that's just Ruby. The claws, fangs, and animalistic instincts aren't where her likeness to Pokemon ends - her world is marked not only by what is visible, but also what she can hear and smell with her keen senses. Sapphire is a rather rough-and-tumble character who loves the sport of Pokemon battling, and trains alongside her team of large and ferocious Pokemon as one of them. She also possesses a friendly side, a naive optimism that is charming to behold...but the whole "sniffing Pokemon's backsides" thing kinda ruins the effect.
History: Sapphire's significant history starts at an early age, when she and Ruby were attacked by a rampaging Salamence. Ruby defended her, but was badly wounded in the process - witnessing this fight caused Sapphire to devote her life to training, to prevent anyone from having to protect her again.
Some years later, at the age of 10, Sapphire re-encountered Ruby, but did not recognize him, when she saved him from a pack of Mightyena. In the odd but amusing confrontation that followed, she secured with him a challenge, in which her part was to earn all 8 of the Hoenn-region's Gym Badges within an 80-day span.
This challenge was, unfortunately, interrupted by Teams Magma and Aqua's bids to bring catastrophe to the world (don't you just hate when that happens?) Sapphire and Ruby played an enormous part in bring Kyogre and Groudon's battle to a halt, by taking the Red and Blue Orbs into their own bodies and training to control the power within the gems.
The following year, Sapphire was called to the Battle Frontier along with Ruby to meet the third member of their trio - and, unknowingly, to assist in the rescue of five of their seniors from petrification.
Pokemon: Toro (Blaziken, female), Rono (Aggron, male), Dono (Donphan, male), Pilo (Tropius, male), Walo (Wailord, male), Relo (Relicanth, male)
Other: Sapphire's senses are highly above average, as are her skills for surviving in the wild.
RP Sample:
Sapphire knew that some of her companions were on this island. Upon arriving (by means of Walo), she could smell them - their trails meandered around, especially at the partially-developed side of the island. Red's she came across fairly early on, and it confounded her - why was he steadily moving in circles? Ah, well.
Of course, she had no intention of staying in a hotel from the start. This island truly was heaven, even if nobody else appreciated it - perfect camping sites were everywhere, trees didn't drop spiky burrs that had to be cleared away, the gurgling creeks were clear and clean and absolutely perfect for drinking water. She didn't have to worry about creating a suitable place to stay, so Sapphire turned her attention to other things - specifically, finding some of her fellow Pokedex Owners.
She whipped open a Pokeball, stretching casually, as Toro shook out her mane and glanced around curiously. "Eh, Toro!" she called, recieving a greeting caw in reply. "I'm gonna look for one of the others, can you help me out? If you see any of our friends, stay with them, all right?'" The Blaziken nodded and leapt nimbly away, and Sapphire watched after her partner for a moment before doing the same.
