[PKMN OPEN] The Other Side: Ultra Sinnoh [M][OOC]

[Dawn]

Gotcha! Do you want me to join the discord server as well?

You are not required to, buuuut I do recommend it if you're impartial. Because if nothing else I will be announcing when I post on the Discord for easier keeping up. And there might be joint posting coordination there at some point.

Sorry Dawn for taking so long posting this here. In the end, I decided to play as Dawn herself. Well, as character inspired by her Sygna Suit version.

Trainer
Name: Dawn
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Stats: 9 Strength, 10 Dexterity, 12 Constitution, 15 Knowledge, 12 Willpower, 12 Intuition
Powerset: Dawn's powers are granted to her by Cresselia. Her powers are limited by how much Dawn believes in Cresselia and how much she uses them to help its cause. Cresselia's main objective is easing people's minds and fighting bad dreams, so Dawn's powers usually involve travelling inside bad dreams or curing insomnia, but she can use her powers to help in other ways, if Cresselia wills it. From the gameplay standpoint, it means Dawn's (my character's) powers are not set in stone and it depends on Dawn (GM) on what can be done.
Ability: Fairy Aura
Moves: Rest, Lovely Kiss, Lunar Blessing, Sweet Kiss, Moonblast, Dream Eater

Appearance:

Spoiler:

Headcanons: My headcanon is that this Dawn comes from the universe that's basically the same like the DPPt universe, but instead of being set in classic modern age, everything in this universe has early 17th century theme - hence Dawn's "musketeer" outfit. Everything else went down as in the games.

Brief Backstory: This character is based on in-game Dawn as Rowan's assistant. Her main focus as researcher are Pokémon Eggs. She's also interested in legends and legendary Pokémon. Her research brought her to Fullmoon Island in Sinnoh. While on the ship, Togepi hatched from one of the eggs she's been taking care of. While on the Island, she fell asleep and when she woke up, she was in different universe. She slightly remembers that she met Cresselia in the dream, but can't remember any details about this dream. She only knows that she has been chosen by Cresselia and been brought to this world with a purpose of helping local inhabitants.

Personality: Dawn is friendly to everyone around her and has an easy time forming a strong connection with other people and Pokémon. She doesn't like to battle unless it's necessary. She isn't that good at Pokémon battles afterall. She likes to take care of Pokémon and other people and be somewhat of a "mother-figure" to them. She can cook really well and especially her baking skills are extraordinary. She enjoys, when others praise her Poffins. While she believes in her skills a little bit, she doesn't have a huge self-esteem. She questions herself and sometimes need to consult her thoughts and feelings with others. She used to talk with Doctor Fennel in her universe, but ever since she got to this Sinnoh, she found out talking alone to Cresselia also helps her collect her thoughts.

Appearance: It's a Togepi!

Brief Backstory: Togepi that hatched from the egg during Dawn's journey to Fullmoon Island. He followed Dawn on the island and got also transported to the different dimension.

Personality: He's a baby. He's naive, curious, has barely any understanding of the world or his abilities. He cries often and requires Dawn's attention all the time.

Oooh, I love her! ^^ One small thing. Wikis often deliberately break direct links to images, so hers didn't show up in her appearance. Though... I believe I tracked down the image you intended to use based on the filename and went ahead and uploaded it for you, linked below if you want to edit it into her appearance. Regardless, you are approved and I look forward to meeting your version of Dawn! ^^ Feel free to post whenever you are ready.

Trainer
Name: Adam Wilbur Halliday
Age: 34
Gender: Male
Stats: 5 Strength, 5 Dexterity, 6 Constitution, 15 Knowledge, 12 Willpower, 17 Intuition
Powerset: 'Even Walls have Ears'. Adam has the ability to remotely designate one area at a time as a 'hearing zone' where he is able to project his hearing to that location as if he was there to perceive the noise directly.
Ability: Telepathy
Moves: Camouflage, Psychic, Teleport, Acupressure, Follow Me, Encore

Appearance:

Spoiler:

(Not-so) Brief Backstory: After pushing through trials and tribulations, including several betrayals from those close to him in the office, Adam reached a cushy position inside the renowned Sliph Co. as an HR and Recruitment Manager. However, that came to an abrupt end after mere two months, as a wormhole suddenly sucked him in as he was taking a break in his office.

He was pulled into a forest that he couldn't recognize no matter how much he racked up his brains, with only his wallet, two Pokeball he kept hanging on his belt, and the black Pokégear that was attached to his right arm as the only things he had in his possession. That wasn't the worse part of his experience as he could feel that he was being watched constantly while being stranded in the woods. But who? Was it the same people responsible for his stranding? Unlike in his job, this time he had no hypothesis let alone an answer, so ran deeper into the depth of the woods.

Four hours were spent without seeing any other creatures, but there it was, another wormhole just like the one who had spirited him away. He ran through it hoping that it would lead him back to the comfortable office he had away from the gaze of the mysterious entity. But the only thing that was waiting for him on the other side was the chilling embrace of the cold, white snow.

With a little help from the nearby locals, he managed to pinpoint his location. He was stranded in Snowpoint City, Sinnoh, an area that was quite far from his office location in Kanto. But no matter, he thought to himself, as long as he was no longer trapped inside the mysterious forest, it would be quite easy to contact someone to pick him up. Or so he thought.

Despite his calls all connecting, nobody knew who he was. Not even his subordinates whom he last talked with just before he was missing recognized him in the slightest. Adam grew wary of the strange situation and then decided to try withdrawing money from his bank account. However, the very same account that he had used for years ever since he was an intern didn't exist in the slightest. He tried every single avenue to go home, even searching for his name on the internet just to assure himself that he existed, but alas there was nothing despite his best effort. He had been erased from the world.

Angered by the fates that had befallen him, he screamed in anguish as the world he knew crumbled in mere hours. But just as he bellowed in despair, he suddenly saw that his hand was bathed in a wave of pink aura, as if he was gaining power that was so similar to a Pokemon. As he stretched his right hand outward, he noticed that he accidentally made a giant hole in a nearby tree which toppled half of the tree almost instantly.

His jaw dropped in horror, something weird was happening to him. Yet at the same time, the shock from suddenly awakening the powers he had was the very thing he needed to go back to his senses.

If there was a way in, there must be a way out. And with his newfound power, he would search for another portal with all his might in hopes of finding the way out—all to honor the promise he made to the lady he loved for almost his entire life.

Personality: Once a man gushing with positivism and ideals, he had weathered through harsh office politics and seen for himself how different desires for position and wealth can twist someone, he had lived by the motto of 'If you want to do something right, do it by yourself' and 'human will always act for their own interest', however, he doesn't share the same sentiment about Pokemon as he believed that Pokemon is much more genuine than humans and will only become bad by human influence.

He hates the power he was given as most of them were perfect for a supporting role instead of an active role where he wouldn't need to rely on other people. Would only act as the situation demanded and not over-stretch himself for the sake of others. Enjoys chewing gum.

i know what i said but it looks fun here

Trainer
Name: Bree
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Stats: 14 Strength, 14 Dexterity, 14 Constitution, 8 Knowledge, 6 Willpower, 4 Intuition
Powerset: Azure Hero (recently awakened, somewhat uncontrollably manifests Azumarill features, can also fully shapeshift into one, very embarrassed about it)
Ability: Huge Power
Moves: Play Rough, Liquidation, Aqua Ring, Protect, Ice Punch, Brick Break

Appearance: Bree is 6 feet tall and has long, medium-brown hair that she wears up, dark brown eyes, bronze skin, square jaw, and rather large nose that she is fairly insecure about. She is bulky- a layer of fat protects strong muscles. In her native tropics, she wears sleeveless tops and cargo shorts, mostly, sometimes with a rain jacket. But she's suddenly found herself needing to dress more warmly! Which might be a good thing, as she's also finally manifested her birthright as the Azure Hero, and hasn't had much practice controlling it yet.

Brief Backstory: Bree grew up in a small town on an island chain in the tropics. Her mother was absent for long intervals due to her job as captain of a cruise liner. Her father, a fisherman, raised her primarily on his own. Her mother, when home, pushed Bree to train to take up the mantle of "Azure", a superhero whom her great-grandmother had become to defend her islands against threats. The lineage had been passed down from mother to daughter for some time, but Bree was always reluctant to participate in it and only did so to appease her mother. Her father halfheartedly trained her when her mother was working, but neither of them were very interested in the going-ons. This has left Bree quite unprepared for the sudden manifestation of power that managed to perfectly coincide with both her eighteenth birthday and a rift opening under her feet just outside of town.

Personality: Bree is shy, reserved, easily flustered, and flees conversation quickly. Her embarrassment at the whole Azure Hero deal knows no bounds. She usually does what is asked of her, if no pressing reason not to exists, because it's easier to get things done and move on than argue. Bree is still finding her feet in the world- well, she was, before she was rudely dropped into another. In some universe, she pursued a path with the Rangers, or nature photography. But all she really wants right now is to go home to her dad.

Moves: Light Screen, Bubble Beam, Draining Kiss, Metronome, Copycat, Helping Hand
Appearance: She likes cute tail accessories and always wears something of the sort.

Brief Backstory: Zazzle was gifted to Bree as an Azurill. It took a long time for Bree to warm up to Zazzle, as she was indicative of the expectations surrounding her future. But Zazzle is adorable and tenacious and wouldn't take no for an answer.

Personality: Zazzle is clever and tricky and a little bit feisty, and currently very annoyed that Bree has "evolved" before her.

Appearance: A good foot taller than most Tropius, putting him around 7'07. Big!

Brief Backstory: Caught on Bree's home island when she was thinking of being a League challenger. Mostly just used for flying around.

Personality: No thoughts head empty what a king. Takes orders from Zazzle as readily as Bree. Mostly just hangs out.

Trainer
Name: Andy Richter
Age: 15
Gender: male
Stats: 10 Strength, 7 Dexterity, 10 Constitution, 9 Knowledge, 10 Willpower, 14 Intuition
Powerset: (Can either be already awakened, or awakened later. You're also allowed to PM me privately if you want it to be a secret to other players)
Ability: (If any, max 1)
Moves: (If any, Max 6)

Appearance: 5' 6" 115 Lbs Long Khaki pants that have quite a few pockets, with the leg sections going down to the sneakers, a light blue polo long sleeve shirt black sneakers with a Pikachu tail thunderbolt design. Andy also packed a pair of blue jeans, a thick sweater that's mainly gray with red sleeves, and tan leather boots for Tundra-like areas. As long as the clothes are clean, Andy isn't one for fashion though he could resemble a walking kaleidoscope to some. Aside from that, he will always strive to look presentable.


Carries a smile of cautious optimism, keeping a close eye out for new friends or unexpected events or new areas. Andy walks with great posture giving off an air of confidence that most people will take notice of, it makes him quite easy to talk to without looking as if he's seeking attention. He is also a little bit on the thin side, and with black hair that is done in a buzz cut



Brief Backstory: Born into a quaint, moderately sized house in Mahogany Town Andy was an introvert at the start of his childhood, clinging mainly to his parents, Bob and Martha Richter for protection due to extreme shyness. This led to him being homeschooled and learning basic reading, writing, and math from them. The parents wanted him to make some friends with any other kids at their favorite spot, which also happens to be where the parents met, Corsola Cove, around Mt Mortar, dubbed that due to the abundance of Corsola present. However, if they tried to help him he would run away without saying a word with a very scared expression on his face, thus leading the local kids in Mahogany to label him an oddball.

This continued until age 6 during one routine day at Andy's now favorite area. He was busy making little designs in the sand, with his parents watching him while they were lounging around. That is until a Water Ball pokémon popped its head out of the water. The Azurill, as identified by Mr. and Mrs. Richter who still carried pokèdexes just in case, merrily bounced up to the trio with a squeak. This was Andy's first encounter with a pokémon so initially, he recoiled away from it. The Aqua Mouse Pokémon just waved its bouncy tail at him, smiled and squeaked once more which made Andy more cautious now more than afraid as he reached out to pet the Marill of which it took full comfort in. Bob and Martha saw this occur and became overjoyed that their bundle of nerves seemed to have taken a shine to a pokémon and potential new friend. After a whole day of play by Andy and his new found poké-friend, Azurill, the Richters got ready to return to Mahogany Town. Before they left, she squeaked again, waved using that tail of hers and walked back into the lake.

From then on, Andy slowly became more outgoing. By age 10 thanks to repeated visits to see Azurill, he was at least being more vocal with the Mahogany Town locals, unless it was the first time meeting a person, in that case, he would start out timid but warm up to him or her after a few minutes of conversation. Andy's homeschooling was going well too, he was learning Middle School levels of reading, writing, and math. Though he was homeschooling well, he wasn't as interested as much. His love of nature though never really diminished, still wanting to go to places along Johto such as Corsola Cove, Ecruteak City, and Olivine City, as well as keeping an eye on his neighbor's potted plants.

During the year before his 15th birthday, Andy's adventurous side started showing up. He would sneak out during the night to explore the areas around Mahogany; not going too much farther than that because he didn't want to worry his mom and dad, he was very respectful of them after all. He yearned to head to rest of the Johto region learning about the many cultures and pokémon present throughout with his own pokémon, little did he know they both were planning quite a surprise for him.

One being he was headed to a new region to pursue his current aspiration to be a pokemon nurse, perhaps thanks to the visits with the mouse. The other would be revealed on his 15th birthday, the parents letting him have a chance at his own adventure, before all that though, was the usual happy birthday Andy followed by the birthday cake and presents which included a backpack, a flashlight as well as a very special, secret surprise that Andy's parents decided to keep secret from him, a certain blue mouse. The soon-to-be nurse was very excited about all the goodies until he remembered he still needed a pokémon. Suddenly, he heard a familiar sounding squeak. He lit up like a Blitzle charging up a Thunder attack. He picked up the Aqua Mouse and paraded around the house and hugged it followed by the parents for getting his first real friend. Andy became ecstatic, he now had everything he needed to start his adventure; with that, he bolted out the door headed for Sinnoh with all the gifts and Aquamarine, an affectionate name for his first pokémon, in tow after one last goodbye hug from his parents.

Of course, he has no idea just what he is soon to encounter with these weird wormholes and the things that await, thanks to being sucked into one as he journeys to the now warped region.

Personality: Andy is eager to observe the world around him and somewhat inquisitive. That inquisitiveness has made him very bright in terms of knowledge of nature but has also led to an unhealthy sense of danger because of it. Due to still being young, he is still a little naive, which results in him falling for pranks, such as April Fools pranks. However, when this does happen, he will see it as a learning experience and, in fact, occasionally going along with it knowing full well that it's a prank for the sake of humor. One example of this comes from Ratattas or other prankster pokémon hiding his items all over Mahogany Town, the pokémon themselves belonging to other trainers. The scavenger hunts don't bother him as he sees the pokémon as being playful or silly. Andy has high morals and won't allow anything to happen to his friends, going out of his way to try and settle disputes between other locals, even though it's clearly none of his business, telling the truth whenever he does something wrong, or just being around for people that have had bad days. This does lead to him getting into some sticky situations, however, such as people ignoring Andy during a dispute, at which point he will leave them alone.

Andy will start out shy to any person or pokèmon but will gradually warm up to them as time goes on and strive above most things to keep his friends happy, beware he will run away from anyone that lashes out at him. Battle-wise Andy favors being more on the defensive side, envisioning pokémon battles to be more like chess matches rather than matches of power preferring to pick his opponents apart with strategy instead.

Moves: Bubble, Charm, Splash, Slam Sing Aqua Jet
Appearance: - nothing really different compared to normal azurills

Brief Backstory: Andys main partner thats been with him for a good while now but they have seen each other for 9 years

Personality: A real friendly sort, usually very jolly and carefree and definitely a social butterfly along with Topaz the Ribombee. But in battle she doesn't give too much a darn for types, especially if Andy's the target. In that case, either her or the foe is dropping no questions asked


Name: Onyx
Species: Cleffa
Age: 5
Gender: Female
Stats: 4 Strength, 4 Dexterity, 4 Constitution, 5 Knowledge, 7 Willpower, 11 Intuition
Ability: Magic Guard
Moves: Encore, pound, sing, magical leaf, heal pulse, Copycat
Appearance: Instead of the slightly red 'blush' markings, there are 2 small, white crescent moon shaped ones. A larger creasent moon thats also white in color is on her belly.

Brief Backstory: During one of his late night escapades, she met him thanks to Andy getting a bit too close to a pack of the entire cleffa line. The pack of them doing their little ritual of metronomes to the full moon, Andy being an accidental part of this. While he does remember being part of that, it may have left something else

Personality: 1 sentence minimum. timid fairy though not as much as Topaz. Onyx is more on the calm side showing a timidity around unfamiliar faces for a few minutes before hopefully settling down into a more calm state. Even during battle, she isn't too expressive but still friendly to those that warrant it out of battle. Thanks to how they met, she seems to have taken a shine to him as well.

But she's suddenly found herself needing to dress more warmly! Which might be a good thing, as she's also finally manifested her birthright as the Azure Hero, and hasn't had much practice controlling it yet.

Brief Backstory: Bree grew up in a small town on an island chain in the tropics. Her mother was absent for long intervals due to her job as captain of a cruise liner. Her father, a fisherman, raised her primarily on his own. Her mother, when home, pushed Bree to train to take up the mantle of "Azure", a superhero whom her great-grandmother had become to defend her islands against threats. The lineage had been passed down from mother to daughter for some time, but Bree was always reluctant to participate in it and only did so to appease her mother. Her father halfheartedly trained her when her mother was working, but neither of them were very interested in the going-ons. This has left Bree quite unprepared for the sudden manifestation of power that managed to perfectly coincide with both her eighteenth birthday and a rift opening under her feet just outside of town.

Personality: Bree is shy, reserved, easily flustered, and flees conversation quickly. Her embarrassment at the whole Azure Hero deal knows no bounds. She usually does what is asked of her, if no pressing reason not to exists, because it's easier to get things done and move on than argue. Bree is still finding her feet in the world- well, she was, before she was rudely dropped into another. In some universe, she pursued a path with the Rangers, or nature photography. But all she really wants right now is to go home to her dad.

Trainer
Name: Andy Richter
Age: 15
Gender: male
Stats: 10 Strength, 7 Dexterity, 10 Constitution, 9 Knowledge, 10 Willpower, 14 Intuition
Powerset: (Can either be already awakened, or awakened later. You're also allowed to PM me privately if you want it to be a secret to other players)
Ability: (If any, max 1)
Moves: (If any, Max 6)

Appearance: 5' 6" 115 Lbs Long Khaki pants that have quite a few pockets, with the leg sections going down to the sneakers, a light blue polo long sleeve shirt black sneakers with a Pikachu tail thunderbolt design. Andy also packed a pair of blue jeans, a thick sweater that's mainly gray with red sleeves, and tan leather boots for Tundra-like areas. As long as the clothes are clean, Andy isn't one for fashion though he could resemble a walking kaleidoscope to some. Aside from that, he will always strive to look presentable.


Carries a smile of cautious optimism, keeping a close eye out for new friends or unexpected events or new areas. Andy walks with great posture giving off an air of confidence that most people will take notice of, it makes him quite easy to talk to without looking as if he's seeking attention. He is also a little bit on the thin side, and with black hair that is done in a buzz cut



Brief Backstory: Born into a quaint, moderately sized house in Mahogany Town Andy was an introvert at the start of his childhood, clinging mainly to his parents, Bob and Martha Richter for protection due to extreme shyness. This led to him being homeschooled and learning basic reading, writing, and math from them. The parents wanted him to make some friends with any other kids at their favorite spot, which also happens to be where the parents met, Corsola Cove, around Mt Mortar, dubbed that due to the abundance of Corsola present. However, if they tried to help him he would run away without saying a word with a very scared expression on his face, thus leading the local kids in Mahogany to label him an oddball.

This continued until age 6 during one routine day at Andy's now favorite area. He was busy making little designs in the sand, with his parents watching him while they were lounging around. That is until a Water Ball pokémon popped its head out of the water. The Azurill, as identified by Mr. and Mrs. Richter who still carried pokèdexes just in case, merrily bounced up to the trio with a squeak. This was Andy's first encounter with a pokémon so initially, he recoiled away from it. The Aqua Mouse Pokémon just waved its bouncy tail at him, smiled and squeaked once more which made Andy more cautious now more than afraid as he reached out to pet the Marill of which it took full comfort in. Bob and Martha saw this occur and became overjoyed that their bundle of nerves seemed to have taken a shine to a pokémon and potential new friend. After a whole day of play by Andy and his new found poké-friend, Azurill, the Richters got ready to return to Mahogany Town. Before they left, she squeaked again, waved using that tail of hers and walked back into the lake.

From then on, Andy slowly became more outgoing. By age 10 thanks to repeated visits to see Azurill, he was at least being more vocal with the Mahogany Town locals, unless it was the first time meeting a person, in that case, he would start out timid but warm up to him or her after a few minutes of conversation. Andy's homeschooling was going well too, he was learning Middle School levels of reading, writing, and math. Though he was homeschooling well, he wasn't as interested as much. His love of nature though never really diminished, still wanting to go to places along Johto such as Corsola Cove, Ecruteak City, and Olivine City, as well as keeping an eye on his neighbor's potted plants.

During the year before his 15th birthday, Andy's adventurous side started showing up. He would sneak out during the night to explore the areas around Mahogany; not going too much farther than that because he didn't want to worry his mom and dad, he was very respectful of them after all. He yearned to head to rest of the Johto region learning about the many cultures and pokémon present throughout with his own pokémon, little did he know they both were planning quite a surprise for him.

One being he was headed to a new region to pursue his current aspiration to be a pokemon nurse, perhaps thanks to the visits with the mouse. The other would be revealed on his 15th birthday, the parents letting him have a chance at his own adventure, before all that though, was the usual happy birthday Andy followed by the birthday cake and presents which included a backpack, a flashlight as well as a very special, secret surprise that Andy's parents decided to keep secret from him, a certain blue mouse. The soon-to-be nurse was very excited about all the goodies until he remembered he still needed a pokémon. Suddenly, he heard a familiar sounding squeak. He lit up like a Blitzle charging up a Thunder attack. He picked up the Aqua Mouse and paraded around the house and hugged it followed by the parents for getting his first real friend. Andy became ecstatic, he now had everything he needed to start his adventure; with that, he bolted out the door headed for Sinnoh with all the gifts and Aquamarine, an affectionate name for his first pokémon, in tow after one last goodbye hug from his parents.

Of course, he has no idea just what he is soon to encounter with these weird wormholes and the things that await, thanks to being sucked into one as he journeys to the now warped region.

Personality: Andy is eager to observe the world around him and somewhat inquisitive. That inquisitiveness has made him very bright in terms of knowledge of nature but has also led to an unhealthy sense of danger because of it. Due to still being young, he is still a little naive, which results in him falling for pranks, such as April Fools pranks. However, when this does happen, he will see it as a learning experience and, in fact, occasionally going along with it knowing full well that it's a prank for the sake of humor. One example of this comes from Ratattas or other prankster pokémon hiding his items all over Mahogany Town, the pokémon themselves belonging to other trainers. The scavenger hunts don't bother him as he sees the pokémon as being playful or silly. Andy has high morals and won't allow anything to happen to his friends, going out of his way to try and settle disputes between other locals, even though it's clearly none of his business, telling the truth whenever he does something wrong, or just being around for people that have had bad days. This does lead to him getting into some sticky situations, however, such as people ignoring Andy during a dispute, at which point he will leave them alone.

Andy will start out shy to any person or pokèmon but will gradually warm up to them as time goes on and strive above most things to keep his friends happy, beware he will run away from anyone that lashes out at him. Battle-wise Andy favors being more on the defensive side, envisioning pokémon battles to be more like chess matches rather than matches of power preferring to pick his opponents apart with strategy instead.

Stats: 6 Strength, 7 Dexterity, 4 Constitution, 4 Knowledge, 15 Willpower, 15 Intuition
Ability: Huge Power
Moves: Bubble, Charm, Splash, Slam Sing Aqua Jet
Appearance: - nothing really different compared to normal azurills

Brief Backstory: Andys main partner thats been with him for a good while now but they have seen each other for 9 years

Personality: A real friendly sort, usually very jolly and carefree and definitely a social butterfly along with Topaz the Ribombee. But in battle she doesn't give too much a darn for types, especially if Andy's the target. In that case, either her or the foe is dropping no questions asked


Name: Onyx
Species: Cleffa
Age: 5
Gender: Female
Stats: 4 Strength, 4 Dexterity, 4 Constitution, 5 Knowledge, 7 Willpower, 11 Intuition
Ability: Magic Guard
Moves: Encore, pound, sing, magical leaf, heal pulse, Copycat
Appearance: Instead of the slightly red 'blush' markings, there are 2 small, white crescent moon shaped ones. A larger creasent moon thats also white in color is on her belly.

Brief Backstory: During one of his late night escapades, she met him thanks to Andy getting a bit too close to a pack of the entire cleffa line. The pack of them doing their little ritual of metronomes to the full moon, Andy being an accidental part of this. While he does remember being part of that, it may have left something else

Personality: 1 sentence minimum. timid fairy though not as much as Topaz. Onyx is more on the calm side showing a timidity around unfamiliar faces for a few minutes before hopefully settling down into a more calm state. Even during battle, she isn't too expressive but still friendly to those that warrant it out of battle. Thanks to how they met, she seems to have taken a shine to him as well.

That works! Aaaand approved!

Hopefully this is okay! I didn't realise how difficult it would be to write out an app on mobile. If anyone here is a mobile-only user, you have my respect.

Trainer
Name: Marcus Hayfield
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Stats: 16 Strength, 8 Dexterity, 13 Constitution, 6 Knowledge, 11 Willpower, 6 Intuition
Powerset: Not yet awakened
Ability: Speed Boost
Moves: Quick Attack, Mach Punch, Headbutt, Counter, Coaching

Appearance: Marcus is a pretty recognisable guy. In the way that, once you know it's him, you'll see him everywhere. Marcus is a taller than average man at 5"11 (178cm), but not so tall that he stands out in a crowd of height. Where he does stand out is his "style". Being a fairly muscular and outgoing guy, he wears the obligatory sleeveless t-shirt in his favourite orange. This goes well with his shortish dark blond hair as opposed to the clashes he'd had with his yellow version before. His shorts are white, and he wears them whatever the weather. Of course, being from the sunnier parts of the world, he's got his 'cool' sunglasses, which he wears while walking. Habitually, he takes them off when he stops walking. His boots are a well-used brown from all the walking he does.


Brief Backstory: An amateur boxer from Sunnyshore city. Marcus is used to lots of physical activity from his daily life performing seasonal work at farms and vineyards across Sinnoh. His early life wasn't anything spectacular, a well-off family in a decent part of town. He was always quick to make friends and very popular when growing up. His "let's get on with it" attitude always earned him the admiration of others. At around 8 years old he picked up boxing after watching a fight at his school which made him think "wow, that looks fun!". As someone that loves to go on adventures and looks for the next thing to do, the rift appearing is a great opportunity to explore.

Personality: Marcus is a people guy, whether people want him to be or not. He's always friendly, accepting and encouraging and by always I mean always. Marcus doesn't seem to quite understand that not everyone is as social and outgoing as he is, and this can sometimes cause him to rub people the wrong way. He's been described as the life of the party many times due to his infectious optimism and willingness to get everyone involved in whatever activity is going on. He just wants everyone to have as much fun as he does and Marcus loves his life. As a way of spreading his joy and including everyone, he gives the majority of people a nickname. It's unclear if this is his way of remembering people or if he's just trying to be friendly.
He always carries around his sunglasses but removes them to talk to people, habitually. Naturally, he lacks an "inside" voice and speaks at pretty much the same volume regardless of his surroundings. Many people, can be sceptical of Marcus at first due to his positivity. But it is genuine. Marcus lacks the ability to not take people at face value and this naivety can, and has, been exploited many times in the past.
When it comes to Pokemon, Marcus picks them based on how cool he finds them. His team isn't big, and he's not a particularly good trainer, but he loves his pokemon and they love him back!

Stats: 2 Strength, 5 Dexterity, 11 Constitution, 6 Knowledge, 12 Willpower, 16 Intuition
Ability: Healer
Moves: Confusion, Play Nice, Healing Voice, Heal Pulse
Appearance:

Brief Backstory: Marcus's most recent acquisition. He's a big fan of hats, so Hatenna was love at first sight. Her name is a reference to Marcus's favourite hat - the Beanie.

Personality: Bean is a pretty headstrong pokemon, for a Hatenna. She still struggles when there's an abundance of emotion, but she doesn't run away. She likes to try and act as a barometer for Marcus in terms of how "good" a person is. But so far, he hasn't caught on.
