Name: Allison Shuster
Age: 20
Description: Ally is average size for a young woman, standing at roughly five foot five. She is relatively thin with long, lanky arms and legs. She has very little body fat, and the fat that she has goes towards giving her beautiful curves. However, Ally is a little insecure, so she prefers to wear slightly “fancier” clothes. She wears a lot of lower cut shirts, often short sleeved to show off her relatively pale arms. She’s usually seen in a pair of navy blue skinny jeans and a button down plaid shirt. This plaid shirt is relatively colorful, as it has patches of red, white, and maroon in it. On her feet, which look relatively large due to how skinny her ankles are, are a pair of well-worn and relatively faded red converse.
Ally has a shoulder length bob of wavy sandy blonde hair. In this hair is usually a bow, matching whatever she’s wearing. And since she’s often in her red plaid (even when she’s not in that, she’s often seen in red or pink), she wears a red bow on the left side of her head. She has bangs, that hang almost into her big baby blue eyes. These eyes are often surrounded by a tiny ring of gray eyeliner and some black mascara. Aside from that, Ally doesn’t wear any make-up, fearing that she’s much too pale for foundation. She has a sort of natural blush that runs across her cheeks and the bridge of her nose, especially when she’s embarrassed. Her ears are usually hidden underneath her hair, but whenever they are seen, you can see that Ally has three lobe piercings and one cartilage piercing, in which there is always a silver hoop.
Seeing as she’s an (almost) professional bassoonist, Ally is often seen in a frilly black skirt embroidered with flowers and a skin-tight black top performing bassoon. She often wears a black bow instead of a red one for these performances and she has dozens and dozens of black earrings to wear for such occasions.
Personality: Ally is the more cheerful half of the twins. She is usually goes a little bit overboard with her happy attitude. The simple things in life cheer her up. She’s one of those people who run around squealing about absolutely everything they can think of that’s exciting. Ally believes that everyone should have fun, and often goes out of her way to make things more fun for others. She’s the type that will wrap her arms around a buddy and start singing, just to try to get them to open up. She’s very touchy-feely and she loves the way it makes her feel to touch people (not in a naughty nasty way!). She believes in an “exchange of energy” when one person touches another, and that this can help to both open people up and calm people down when they’re upset.
Ally’s very very sensitive, which is both a good and a bad thing. She is very good at reading people, but she often chooses to keep her mouth shut about things at risk of starting drama. When it comes to drama or confrontation, Ally runs away like a bat out of hell. She’d rather not deal with the pressure it puts on both her and others. Which brings us to the bad part of Ally’s sensitivity. She takes almost everything personally, even if it isn’t meant that way. Whenever she receives a criticism or a little comment about something, she will obsessively work to fix the “problem”, even if that something isn’t a problem. If someone tells her that her make-up’s not right, she’ll change it based on that person’s opinion. In the end, her brother can snap her out of this sort of stage, and she will go back to the way she was.
Ally is undyingly loyal, and she would do absolutely anything for her brother. Ally and Elliot often finish each other's sentences in that creepy twin-like manner, and they often try to trick people into thinking that they can read each other's minds.
History: Allison and Elliot were born to a pair of relatively frazzled and not quite ready for twin parents. Their mother Lillian was a nurse, and their dad Joseph was a “late bloomer” Pokemon trainer who never actually travelled anywhere to collect any badges. Due to this he only has one badge, and that one is from Oreburgh City from a family vacation one year. The two of them had a fairly average childhood, but they were often made fun of for being “interchangeable”. Despite the fact that the two twins were different genders, they were practically identical until puberty. Once puberty hit, Ally found herself with a line of boys waiting to date her, but she never really took the opportunity, and she never really knew how to tell a guy she liked him.
Ally started playing bassoon in ninth grade after a failed Pokemon journey (she still has her Pokemon though). She never really had the heart for battling, and she hated seeing her Pokemon getting hurt. So Ally attended high school, learning “skills for the world” and whatnot before attending Oreburgh University for music performance on bassoon. She lives in an apartment with her brother. She hopes to be in the Sinnoh regional orchestra when she “grows up” and marry a cute oboe player. Perhaps her views of the world are a little askew.
Other: Ally and Elliot are not psychic twins, as awesome as they think that might be. However they know each other inside and out and they can finish each other’s sentences and have an uncanny knack for knowing where the other is even when they’re not together.
Their Pokemans. Show me them…
Nocturne/Noctowl/Female
Attacks: Hypnosis, Fly, Zen Headbutt, Extrasensory
Personality: Nocturne is a bit of an apathetic creature. She’d rather not involve herself in fights or battles of any kind, since she finds them petty and below her. She refuses to do what she’s told in battle, simply sitting around and dodging attacks instead of behaving herself. However, she has a ghastly temper, and this often leads to Nocturne attacking anyways. She’s very easily insulted, and prone to attack anyone, even her trainer, but Ally loves her anyways.
History: Ally met Nocturne after her failed adventure. She found her as a tiny HootHoot right outside the door of her high school band room, where she’d been “abandoned” by her mother (to this day, no one knows if Nocturne’s mother actually left her there or not). Ally brought the HootHoot up to battle and eat right, but she seemed to care for neither of those things. She only battled when provoked, which was often, due to her temper, and evolved after a particularly messy battle with a relatively dirty-mouthed Chatot.
Bubbles/Male/Prinplup
Attacks: Bubblebeam, Peck, Metal Claw, Tackle
Personality: Bubbles is a feisty little creature. He loves to pick fights, especially with Pokemon that are larger than him. This can often lead to trouble, and Bubbles usually loses, since he doesn’t really think before he attacks (or speaks) and just goes all out on whatever he’s doing without a plan. However Bubbles is painfully loyal to Ally, and will do almost anything she says, despite the fact that he isn’t always happy about it. He would do anything for her, or any of her other Pokemon, and even her brother. Bubbles doesn’t think very highly of Elliot, and he’d rather not have someone so “mopey” around. Bubbles often wets things that belong to Ally’s twin, and leaves them around their apartment in an ice block or a puddle, depending on his mood. Elliot loves to compare him to a PMS-ing girl.
History: Bubbles was received in the generic get your first Pokemon sort of way. Ally chose him as her first Pokemon, and Elliot chose his Chimchar Ember. The two Pokemon were almost immediately best friends, and Ally and Elliot often suspected that there was something going on between the two of them. Ally thought that Bubbles was the cutest little creature ever, so she almost never put him into battle, because she didn’t really want the tiny penguin to evolve. (Despite the fact that he obviously did). Bubbles liked to fight, but he didn’t want to go against his trainer, so he started acting out against her twin. Ally simply thought it was funny, but it does kind of bother Elliot... These days Bubbles just hangs around the apartment out of his Pokeball while Ally’s practicing and at class, so he uses his spare time to harass Elliot.
Patapan (Patty)/Pachirisu/Male
Attacks: Spark, Quick Attack, Charm, Discharge
Personality: Patapan is a crazy hyper little creature. He loves to run and jump and shock people, especially Nocturne and Bubbles who don’t really appreciate it very much. Patty acts sort of like a three year old child, mostly since he cries whenever he doesn’t get his way. He throws fits when he’s upset, shocking anyone and anything who’s near him, including Ally. It’s never really hurt her as much as it should, and that often upsets little Patty even more. Patty’s easily confused and led astray, so Ally can often trick or entice him into battling (or keeping quiet) with a few treats or promises that he can shock Elliot instead (who is also curiously resistant to poor Patty’s shocks).
History: Ally caught Patty a few days into her Pokemon journey. He’s the only Pokemon she’s ever actually caught by battling. She fought him with a young Bubbles, who was injured by a powerful shock aimed at both Bubbles and Ally. Ally really liked the little guy’s spirit, so she pushed Bubbles to the brink in order to catch him. The two of them hated eachother at first, but now they’re pretty good friends. They sleep curled up together in the corner of Ally’s room. Nocturne doesn’t like either of them.
Rayne/Espeon/Female
Attacks: Psybeam, Confusion, Quick Attack, Swift
Personality: Rayne is a highly intelligent Pokemon. She spends the majority of her time thinking about anything and everything, and she can often use her psychic abilities to tell how people are feeling or doing. When she sees that they’re upset or distressed, she’ll simply go and sit next to them, cuddling up to them like a cat. This is often very helpful for her highly emotional trainer. She gets highly offended whenever someone hurts Ally or really anyone without reason, or with some kind of spite in their heart. She is very shy however, and spends most of her time wrapped around Ally’s legs, or peeking out from under some kind of furniture.
History: Rayne was as a present from his father, who bred a pair of twin Eevees. Finding this appropriate, he gave one to Elliot and one to Ally. Rayne was a quiet and thoughtful Eevee, but she fell in step with her trainer, whom she practically worshipped. Eventually, she evolved into an Espeon, and she often acts as Ally’s musical audience.
The cherry on top; REVERSAL FORM!
Species: Plusle
Attacks: Spark, Thunder, Quick Attack, Thunder Wave
Ability: Ally can absorb energy out of any object with an electric charge (it works better with positively charged objects) and use it to power up her own self. When she does this her hair (or fur, I suppose) practically stands on end and sparks. Her hair also sparks a bit when she’s irritated.
