    Kukukuku... I will attempt to aim for a "Protector" SU... Reaching for the skies... XD And yeah... my glorious return to RPs... after an 8 month absence. ^^; (if not I guess I'll be a Grunt... :/ )

    Name: Lunanthius AKA Luna

    Gender: Female

    Appearance: (I'd draw a picture and color her but I'm being lazy at the moment. >.<; )
    Luna's hair is silver with a mixture of a very crystal blue blended into it and the iris' of her eyes are a light violet hue. Her bangs are short starting from the middle of her forehead and as it moves away from the middle, it gets longer until it reaches her eyes, where it's at it's longest length reaching down to her shoulders, before it starts to shorten as it curves around towards her ears. Luna stands about 165 centimeters (equivalent to 5 feet and 4 inches) and her hair has an even amazing length of 177 centimeters (equivalent to 5 feet and 8 inches) long. She is still average in height as compared to other females, however, her build is athletically built behind her intensely covered attire. (to be explained below.) On some occasions, she will wear two hairpin clips with a small crystal design upon the surface to bring her bangs to the side of her head and tie her hair up into a single pony tail with a violet ribbon given to her as a gift from her parents.

    Luna is generally seen in a large dark violet cloak with an extended neck cover and occasionally has her hood worn over her head. Her hands are fitted with intricately designed, black wrist gloves, extending almost to her elbows, that hides the special markings upon her arms. Her regular attire, which is concealed behind the cloak, is an ebony one-piece dress that reaches just short of her knees along with short sleeves. Her brown boots are made from leather with unique markings upon them crafted by her father before his untimely death and she wears a pair of ankle high white socks.

    Hometown: N/A but was found ashore Pallet Town

    Team: (Aiming for KotC, will alter it slightly if declined)

    Personality: (Tell us about yourself)

    History: (still working on some more)
    Not much is known about Luna except that she was found near the Pallet Town shores covered in a dark violet cloak. The townsfolk of Pallet Town were humble enough to welcome the mysterious outsider despite her rather odd appearance. Throughout her years there, she has become well acquainted with many, including the renown Professor Oak, due to her infinite free time and personality for helping others. Many of the children adore being with Luna since she is also a trainer and will usually let her Pokemon out to play with them.

    Pokémon Team:

    Spoiler:


    Extra: She has a love for afternoon tea.

    (Under construction. As it is very late at the moment [12 am X.X], I'll try to finish this up ASAP.)
    EDIT: I've been finishing up my classes for this quarter so I'll try to finish this up soon if not tonight.

    Name: Mathias Johnson

    Gender: Male

    Appearance: (A picture is preferred)

    Mathias is a Caucasian[White] male little under six foot tall, with medium weight, not skinny or fat, just sorta of average. Has short black hair that he mostly keeps undone, letting it stay wherever it is when he wakes up. Has mostly brown eyes near the outer part of the iris that become a brown-green close to the pupil.

    Mathias has a preference towards somewhat loose fitting clothing, wearing t-shirts or sweaters most of the time. He also likes jeans, even when it's hot he prefers jeans to shorts just because, although he has trouble finding a pair that are just the right size, always either too tight or too loose, leading him to have two or so pairs of jeans he just switches out every few days. He also prefers running shoes to other kinds of shoes, just based on the logic that if he has to run, he's better prepared to do so [Related, he believes in the philosophy "I don't have to outrun my enemy, I just have to outrun you"]. Also, he really doesn't like wearing hats, he finds them really uncomfortable.

    Hometown: Mahogany Town

    Team: Arcelago

    Personality:
    Mathias is someone with a problem making friends, having moved nearly every other year of his life he has more or less been robbed of social skills by being the perpetual new kid in town.The consistent destabilization of any kind of consistent home as a child has left him more or less bitter at the world. He only really considers his Pokemon his friends, since they went through moving from town to town with him instead of being lost every time like his human friends were. Having no friends bar his Pokemon, he is someone who spends a lot of time thinking about the world in general, the hows and whys of its workings leading him to be fairly knowledgeable, but is definitely not a genius.

    He also likes mathematics, other then being very good naturally at arithmetic he likes the idea that this problem will always have this answer. He enjoys violence, although he is not one for using it directly and prefers to attempt to manipulate others into doing acts of violence, although not to extremes since that might draw attention to himself. He does not enjoy attention, whether good or bad, being directed at him, but for the secrets and power the Cryptex might hold this isn't really gonna stop him.

    History:

    Was just an ordinary only child living with his parents in Cerulean City, never really had any reason to be unhappy until he was about seven and his father drowned in the river that goes through town. Afterwards his mother took a variety of jobs that never payed enough in various towns in and out of the Kanto/Johto region. When he was twelve and he lived in Celadon city while his mom worked for the Celadon department store he would spend his extra time playing the voltorb flip game at the casino, finding it extremely easy and quickly amassing enough coins to get his first Pokemon, an eevee he nicknamed Fahrenheit[with the intention of eventually evolving it into a Flareon].

    Soon after, but shortly before his next move so his mother could work at the Museum in Pewter City, he caught a meowth with the help of Fahrenheit, and nicknamed Sasha. About four months after moving to Pewter City, but eight months before moving to Cianwood so his mother could work at the Safari Zone in Johto, he caught a Zubat while hiking around Mt.Moon with Sasha while Fahrenheit rested at the house. Eventually, four moves later, he ended up in Mahogany town where his mother is currently working at the toll booth from Mahogany town to the Lake of Rage. He has more or less decided to join Team Arcelago in hopes of getting some revenge on a world that seems to have left him to be continually uprooted leaving him without any consistency in his life.

    Pokémon Team: (Up to three Pokémon, Max starting Levels: 5-10 for trainer, 8-12 for Team Arcelago Grunts, 20-25 for Commanders of team, Team Arcelago leader will get levels in a PM, Max four moves per Pokémon, No legendaries)
    Species: Eevee
    Name: Fahrenheit
    Gender: Male
    Level: 10
    Personality: Is rarely ever unhappy since being adopted [more or less] by Mathias at the Game corner in Kanto.
    Moves: Tackle, Tail Whip, Rest [I'll leave a move unused for now]

    Species: Meowth
    Name: Sasha
    Gender: Female
    Level: 9
    Personality: Enjoys stealing the leftover coins that Mathias has from the Casino in Celadon, and enjoys exploring around looking for other shiny things to collect.
    Moves: Scratch, bite, growl [Second verse, same as the first]

    Species: Zubat
    Name: Natalie
    Gender: Female
    Level: 9
    Personality: Isn't a very good fighter, although she enjoys trying anyways, also she loves to mess with Sasha by taking the coins she steals from Mathias and flying just outside of Sasha's reach.
    Moves: leech life, supersonic, astonish [Same deal as the first two]

    Extra:

    Let me know where to add on, and also, will we be allowed to change our move-sets later on or are the moves we have now the only ones we get?
    Edit: Nevermind, didn't notice there weren't any more trainer spots open until I was done with the SU...
    Edit 2: I realized with a few minor tweaks to his personality he'll be fit to be a grunt, so i'll do that

    Route 33, Johto...

    Gray walked along the tranquil path, the wind blowing his hair a slight bit. It was his fourth day on the job: Team Arcelago Commander. He hadn't been in Team Arcelago for long, perhaps only three weeks. But, his superior battling prowess had earned him a quick slot as Commander. However, the small team of grunts he was assigned with really didn't like him. At all. They all thought he was too nice, that he was forgetting his objective. Gray knew it, though. He knew that they talked about him behind his back. Upon his entrance to Azalea Town, Gray passed an old man standing by the Slowpoke well. He was a rather short, old man with traditional Johto clothing on. His bald head gleamed in the bright sunlight.

    "Hey, Kurt. Did you ever finish my Fast Balls that you were working on?" Gray asked. Kurt was startled by Gray's voice, which broke the silence. Kurt turned to Gray quickly, but began to fall backward into the well. Gray realized this, and dashed forward, grabbing Kurt's hand. Pulling him up, Gray saved Kurt.

    "What, are you tryin' ta kill me?" Kurt shouted, taking a step backward. Without realizing what he had done, Kurt's step backward owed him one fall into Slowpoke Well. In his reflexes, he grabbed Gray's arm, pulling him down into the well. "AAH!" Kurt shouted as he pulled Gray into the well. They both tumbled to the bottom, smashing into the hard, wet ground.

    "Ow... what was that for?" Gray growled, sitting up and rubbing his back. He looked over to Kurt who had a very annoyed expression on his face.

    "Dammit... second time that's happened to me!" Kurt shouted. He looked at Gray. "And it's all your fault. Help me up, quick. I can't move." Gray stood up slowly, hearing his back crackle a bit. He helped Kurt up, and they managed to scale the ladder after several minutes. After about twenty minutes, they made it outside.

    "Regarding your Fast Balls, yes. I finished them. If you help me home, I'll give you your Fast Balls," Kurt managed to say over the wince in his face.

    "Crap. That's all the way on the other side of town..." Gray thought to himself, putting his hand on his face in disappointment. But, he sighed. He had to since this was partially his fault. At least Kurt was a little man. He put Kurt's arm around the back of his neck, and acted as a crutch. It was then that Gray realized that Kurt's small stature was actually a bad thing. Gray had to bend down really far to help Kurt.

    After they had made their way through the small village, two of the grunts that worked underneath Gray approached them. Gray stopped and looked at them.

    "Oh great, here come your buffoons. How come they can't act more like you, Baron?" Kurt asked to Gray. Gray recalled that his nickname was 'Baron' at that moment. He had always been called that, since he was the best battler of his hometown.

    "Baron, sir!" the two grunts chanted at the same time. They put their hands at their sides and stood tall. "Sir, another Commander is in Union Cave. The Commander says that she has direct orders for our unit and theirs to investigate deep within the cave," they explained. Gray's stomach dropped. Another commander? She? Gray had a hunch he knew who it was.

    "Does this other commander happen to be 'Marren'?" Gray asked. After a second's delay, the grunts looked at each other, and nodded. Gray sighed. He desperately hated Marren. She was the Commander who was in his place before he took the spot. Ever since then, she hated him indefinitely. It was her ultimate goal to get rid of Gray, through any means.

    "Sir, Marren's unit is at the Cave entrance in Route 33, waiting for us. We are to rendez-vous with them immediately," one of his grunts said. Gray sighed, and looked to Kurt, who was still using him as a crutch.

    "It's fine, it's only a short distance from here to my house," Kurt said. "I understand that you have business to take care of."

    Gray slowly let Kurt off on his own, and took his two grunts to the Arcelago base. It was located just south of the Azalea Gym that was lead by Bugsy. Inside of the base was dark and small. The single-room base was filled with computers, enough for the five grunts and Gray. As soon as Gray and his two grunts entered, the two grunts that were there stood up and saluted Gray. Gray looked around confusedly.

    "Where's Earl?" Gray asked, noticing that one of the grunts was missing.

    "Sir! Earl is gone on a coffee run, sir!" the two other grunts explained monotonously and in unison. Gray lowered his head and sighed. There always seemed to be something small that went wrong for him.

    "Okay. Susan, you stay and wait for Earl. I want you two to remain at the base in case. Everyone else, let's get going!" Gray commanded. The small group of four (three grunts and Gray) made their way from central Azalea to Route 33. By this point, some clouds were beginning to roll in. The air was dense with moisture, and one could smell the storm on the way. Before long, Gray's group made it to the entrance of Union Cave. Surrounding the cave were five similar grunts, and a girl with dark, evil eyes and shining black hair. She wore a blood-red bandanna around her head, and similarly-colored clothing. She approached Gray.

    "Listen, Gray Ciridian, this expedition is under MY control. You do what I say, and same for your pathetic grunts," the girl growled. Gray rolled his eyes.

    "Okay, Marren. So what do you command, your highness?" Gray asked sarcastically.

    "It's good to see you'll listen. I want your grunts to go deep into Union Cave. There's a hole in one of the walls that I took the courtesy of creating for you. We think there's a clue to the Cryptex there, but we're not sure. We need you to go in and scout for us," Marren explained.

    "What about you?" Gray asked.

    "We'll wait for your reply, in case it isn't safe," Marren asked, a devious smile forming on her cold face.

    "Gee, thanks," Gray growled under his breath. He faced his unit. "Let's get going," he commanded. Gray walked past Marren and her grunts, enduring the belittling glares. They entered the cave, leaving the light of the overworld behind.

    Suddenly, there was an eerie, ghastly growl that resounded from the depths of the cave. Gray looked back uneasily at the three grunts he brought with him. Forward, they began.

    A Indigo News Update ( I will post Indigo News Headlines that involve the cryptex):

    "Jenna Fraser reporting live from the Ruins of Alph, where a search for the Cryptex, led by Professor Oak, will be commencing. The Ruins have been closed
    and so has A section of Route 36 between Violet City and the Route 37 turnoff. We will hand the mic over to Sandra Belle, who is at the Ruins with Prof. Oak, Sandra, over to you."

    " Thanks Jenna. We are here with Professor Oak, leader of the dig at the Ruins of Alph, what do you have to say, Professor?"
    " We have substantial evidence that the Cryptex is somewhere in the Ruins of Alph."
    " Is that all you have to say Professor,"
    " Yes, it is."

    " Thanks Sandra, after the break, we will talk to Falkner, the Gym Leader of Violet City and how this Dig affects him and the rest of Violet City,"

    [OOC: Uhh. Wasn't too sure how to start so I'm going with being one of the three grunts under Gray's command.]

    Route 33/Union Cave


    "Where's Earl?" Flo looked up, he had arrived...

    "Sir! Earl is gone on a coffee run, sir!"

    Bleck. Flo hated being around mindless droids. "Sir?! Who is he? The king of the land? As if!" Luckily, what she said was at a barely audible level. Fortunately, only the two grunts who had said the response heard her which resulted in two menacing, death stares. Flo decided to "kill them with kindness" as her Mother told her to do and gave them her biggest, unrealistic smile.

    "Okay. Susan, you stay and wait for Earl. I want you two to remain at the base in case. Everyone else, let's get going!"

    "I soooo hate walking around!" Flo rolled her eyes, stood up, and waited for Gray to walk. They began and they walked to Route 33 where they were going to meet up with someone Flo assumed. She noticed the weather and this wasn't going to be a good day! Flo monitored Gray's style the position in which he walked, the way he looked at things, etc. Flo knew that if she was ever to become a commander she was going to need weaknesses. Gray had to have one maybe sometime in the future she would figure it out but for now observation. They began to make their move to the spot to meet the other commander.

    "Listen, Gray Ciridian, this expedition is under MY control. You do what I say, and same for your pathetic grunts,"

    "Pathetic? So is that tacky clothing you're trying to pull off!" Flo looked at this girl, who did she think she was? Flo was unaware of how loud she said this but she wasn't the best at holding her tongue especially when insults were tossed around. Apparently, they were going to have to dig in some nasty, damp cave that no one has been in for a thousand years. Flo doubted that The Cryptex was even here. Why couldn't it have been in a nice, hot spring? Flo disliked the fact that she might have to get her brand new clothes dirty looking for some thing. Perhaps, wearing her brand new, cerulean blue blouse to her first day at work wasn't a good idea. " Well I don't want to look ugly on the first day! " At least she could pretend she was doing work while the other grunts do it for her. Unless Gray happen to assign her some task which would really bring a damper on her plans. Flo was intent on paying attention to the conversation at hand. If she could figure out the commander he'd be easier to manipulate.

    "We'll wait for your reply, in case it isn't safe,"

    "W-w-wait! I'm going in some unsafe cave while miss i-look-like-blood-spilled-all-over-my-wardrobe gets to be safe?!" This time Flo muttered this at a very low level knowing that she would be punished had it reached her commander's ear. She crossed her arms in an angry fashion, even though the express on her face was pure excitement. Flo knew she had to sell the act of being the perfect grunt or else getting power of TA would fail. Gray commanded them to start moving and Flo did with ease until she tripped over a rock. She looked up slowly as the cave swallowed them all...

    Route 37

    A wall of silence rose in the night, brightly lit by the full moon, and the surrounding stars dotting the dark sky. Small sounds.....footsteps? No, it sounded more like digging. A gible!? That is quite a rare sight in the region of Johto. A human figure was also visible in the night. Vaguely, you could see a mask......and a coat.........But....why was the gible digging in the first place?

    Perhaps it was to pass the road block blocking the way from route 37 to Violet City. It had been an hour already, the ground was rock hard, and the gible could only go a few meters before tiring out.

    "That will suffice for now," she said. "You may rest now, little one." The red beam from the red pokeball recalled the tired little dragon pokemon. It would be quite a while before they would get across via an underground tunnel. She decided that it would be safer to just get to route 32, so she could get to Violet City, rather than take the longer route and have to go through the ruins of Alph. A hard hour of work makes the still young pokemon hungry, so it's usually a meal for them before sleeping. The human herself climbed up a tree and set up a hammock before resting for the night.

    (OOC: I'll just keep her name hidden for the "night", despite that you already know it. It just seems more.....natural...in a way...)
