Pokemon: The Ultimates (sign ups)

VampirateMace

Internet Overlord
Gonna throw my Dark Gym Leader trainer in here, should be fun:

Name: Lucile Mace
Gender: Female
Age: 32

Physical Description:
Mace is a little short, but has the sort of slender build and upright posture that tends to make people remember her as being taller than she actually was. She’s not overly curvy, but has well toned muscles from working out with her pokemon and studying martial arts, as a result sometimes from a distance she is mistaken for a young man. She has an oval face with a pointed chin, slightly upturned nose, and just visible cheekbones. Her medium length hair is sleek and almost black, though somewhat uneven, but most people never notice that because she’s usually wearing it in a ponytail or pigtails, which are in turn hidden under a wide brimmed hat. Her skin tone is pale, with a dash of freckles, and her eyes are a vivid grass green.

When participating in gym battles or contests, Mace wears a sort of costume, a simple outfit intended to project a dark fighter image, though it's also been known to come off sort of superhero/villain. It consists of a sleeveless black shorts-type leotard, black fingerless gloves, black trainers, red and pink striped knee socks, and a red mask. Her casual clothes however, consist of a red tank top, blue jeans, a black leather trench coat and a matching wide brimmed hat, plain white socks, and the same black trainers. A lot of people don’t even recognize her out of costume, which is not only due to the mask, but also because her primary companion pokemon isn’t even a dark type.

She also carries a dark brown leather satchel for storing her pokeballs and supplies.

Personality:
Mace may be a little broken. It's hard not to be in a world racked by natural and man-made disasters. In the gym she gives a big show of boisterous personality, but in reality she's a bit more nervous. She's can speculate wildly at times, she has a great imagination, but this also means she can also visit some very dark corners of the human mind.

Her battle strategy is rather good, and her hand-to-hand combat isn't bad either, since she's been training in the martial arts since her early teens. She knows she can be better though, she can always be better. So, daily she pushed herself to improve her skills, both in martial arts and in pokemon training. She pushes her pokemon too, because she wants them to see they can improve as well.

She's a good friend to have though, if you can get her. But she's not the most trusting, so it may be work to get her to warm up to you. She's always looking out for younger trainers and pokemon. She loves all pokemon, not just dark types, and thinks that in some ways they are superior to people, such as loving unconditionally.

She takes special care to make sure she gives all her pokemon attention regularly, taking their needs and like into account. She hopes one day to see the Marill she traded again, hoping to find it’s been having a great time with it’s new trainer.

Region From: Hoenn
Region Currently In: Alola

History:
Mace wasn’t always a dark type trainer, in fact for a while it didn’t look like she was even going to be able to go on a trainer journey at all. When she was a kid growing up in Slateport City, money was tight and even a plain poke ball would have been a luxury, much less a trip to the region’s pokelab. The recent disasters in neighboring regions had not been kind to the economy, which was hard on a family that would have been struggling in a good economy. Mace would takes small jobs trying to earn the money for a pokeball, but would always find out about something her family needed more and buy it instead. When not in school or working, Mace managed to get some free lessons from a black belt at a local dojo, starting her passion for the martial arts.

One afternoon when she was eleven, an year after most trainers start their journey, she didn’t have any after school jobs, so she decided to go for a walk along route 110 since that was something she could do for free. She was mostly envying the trainers there, and watching the wild pokemon scurry and play. On her way back, she looked over her shoulder and noticed a tiny oddish on the path behind her. Halfway back to town she saw an oddish again. She didn’t think much about it, until she got back to town and it was still following her. This oddish was young, probably a baby, and either wasn’t old enough to be afraid of humans, or was used to them because it belonged to someone. She tried to find if anyone had lost an oddish, but no one ever came forward.

From then on they were inseparable, and a couple months later they left on a journey. It was hard at first, but after a couple successful battles against weak trainers, Mace was finally able to afford a poke ball for her oddish and something other than berries to eat.

She never really thought about catching another pokemon until she saw an Absol. How was something so beautiful considered a dark omen? Though given the floods and droughts currently happening in the region, it was understandable that people wanted a scapegoat. But soon enough those people would learn of the horrible battle of the legendary pokemon that had been pitted against one another.

Mace spent several weeks trying to find another Absol and catch it, before she was finally successful. She even caught a Marill to help her out. Having an Absol on her small team was great, and Mace wanted to meet and train other dark type pokemon, leading to her capture of Sableye, and later obtaining Houndour by trading Marill.

After this Mace devoted her time to going up against all the gyms in Hoenn, while competing in contests on the side for the money. Much of this she sent home to help rebuild Slateport, which had been racked by tsunamis. She took what martial arts training she could get all along the way, from various instructors and masters, and now practices a fairly mixed style.

After taking on Hoenn's league, Mace felt she'd earned a trip to Alola, somewhere she'd always wanted to visit, and used some of her earnings to charter a trip there. Soon, she'll return home to Slateport.

Class: Master Trainer
Ability: N/A - However, Mace is an excellent trainer, who knows quite a lot about pokemon, especially dark and grass types. She knows several martial art techniques and is quite agile, though not always graceful. She believes almost anything can be used as a weapon, and creatively uses her current environment to turn the tables on foes. Her cooking isn't always pretty, but it tastes good, or at least her pokemon seem to think so.


Pokemon:
Bellossom (Blue), Absol (Stormy), Stableye (Glimmer), Houndoom (Scorch), & Pear (Minior)

Name/Nickname: Blue
Species: Bellossom
Gender: Male
Description and Personality:
Blue is a little smaller than most Bellossom. Mace figures she found him when he was a baby Oddish, or rather when he found her, but he never seemed have reached maximum size. He is playful and a bit impish, always running around and getting into everything. One might think he’d have calmed down a bit with age, but that really doesn’t seem to have happened. Blue has with Mace for years now, having latched onto her as a baby. The two have been all over the place, and battled a lot of trainers, and though she doesn’t battle as much with him anymore, he’s still constantly by her side.

Name/Nickname: Stormy
Species: Absol
Gender: Female
Description and Personality: Stormy is very much a standard Absol, albeit very well groomed and fairly powerful. She is self-centered and thinks of herself as the star of the show, an elegant and superior pokemon, beloved by all. This and her ability to sense danger ahead of time, has led to a bit of overconfidence. Mace caught Stormy with the help of Blue and a Marill she no longer has. Proud of themselves Mace and Blue showered Stormy with a bit more attention than they should have. This led to some obedience issues early on, as well as fueling Stormy’s current diva attitude.

Name/Nickname: Glimmer
Species: Stableye
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Glimmer is a bit large for his species, but it’s not to the point where it’s particularly noticeable or anything. He is a passive, quiet, creature, waiting patiently for a good moment to strike. However, it’s clear from his actions that he’d much rather make friends than fight, offering to share even the smallest of berries. He is alert and intelligent. Mace caught Glimmer during her journey. It was hard not to shower this new pokemon with the mistake level of attention she’d given Absol, but even the level of attention she gave him made Absol jealous enough to disobey orders, until Mace had to stop battling with her for a while.

Name/Nickname: Scorch
Species: Houndoom
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Scorch is a slender and well built Houndoom, who’s not afraid to get dirty or put in some hard work, leading to a coat that is often less than sleek. He is a brave, hard-working pokemon, eager to show Mace and the other on their team, his best. Regularly he pushes himself past the goals that Mace sets for her pokemon during training. Mace got Scorch as a Houndour when she traded her Marill to a trainer visiting from another region.

Name/Nickname: Pear
Species: Minior
Gender: Unknown (but Mace uses female pronouns for Pear)
Description and Personality: Pear is a green core Minior, and the most recent member of Mace's team. Mace found her while watching the meteor shower near the peak of Mount Hokulani. After a particularly bright meteor, Mace noticed a star shaped rock, and to her surprise it attacked. Pear is a spontaneous fun-loving pokemon, but she is also very powerful and will sometimes flaunts it. Though she sometimes need to be convinced to train.

My will be done
Okay, second character. [WIP]

Name: Eugine Lonar
Gender: Male
Age: 75
Physical Description: Eugine is a tall, thin man, with a nearly-spherical head that looks too large for his body. His eyes seem to flow with unseen energy, and looking him directly in the eyes can cause a headache. He is bald, but has a long, white beard, which tends to draw attention to him. His stranger mannerisms and clothing don't make him any less conspicuous. Eugine wears long, blue and white robes that cover his entire body, and walks with a cane. Again, he is capable of walking without it, but it seems right to him. He wears wire-framed glasses, which give him a rather scholarly look, or, that's what he insists. His face is lined and wrinkled with age, but he still seems attentive, if he's not caught in one of his rambles. He carries a large backpack, mostly filled with water and food.

Personality: Eugine is patient, outgoing, and has a rather dry sense of humor. He is nonviolent and prone to calling people "sonny", due to his age. He finds it deeply amusing to act like a stereotypical old man as he walks the streets, preaching the Way of Palkia. He is fond of rambling for extremely long periods of time if not interrupted. Insists people call him Eugine. Dislikes technology, and is rather poor at using it. Some computers shut down in his presence, as if offended by him. He despises Team Galactic, for meddling with the affairs of the Heavens and attempting to enslave Palkia. He's more confused about Scientific Experiments than most, but chooses to ignore the matter.

Region From: Sinnoh

Region Currently In: Unova

History: Eugine was born in Celestic town, and from a young age was fascinated by its mythology. Eugine claims he would sit for hours listening to the town elder explain the complex mythology of Sinnoh. As he grew older, he noticed several things were amiss about him. Firstly, he noticed that paint cans and empty cups would tip in his presence. Asking the members of the town, he gained little information, other than that it was linked to Palkia.

He decided it was a blessing and spent years honing his skill in the matter, gradually learning a variety of abilities. By the time he was twenty five, he was able to preform feats considered by some as miraculous. Unfortunately, he had no source of income, and eventually left his hometown, seeking money elsewhere. Preforming a variety of stunts on the streets for cash, he accepted he would become little more than a street performer, not dissimilar to the Clowns of Jublife. Eventually, however, his tricks were discovered to be more than mere illusions and props, and this granted him a larger audience. Speaking to others about his abilities gave him a new drive, and he wandered the Sinnoh region, battling trainers with Porstale, entering talent shows with his abilities, teaching all about Palkia. Few listened, probably due to his strange mannerisms and stranger dress style.

Years later, he had circled the Sinnoh region, and managed, somehow, to get to Kalos. Their culture confused him, and he spent more time learning how things worked in Lumiose than doing much. Still, pay was pay. Around this time, he saw the first prototype scientific experiment, Essentia, the first in a long line of physically enhancing pieces of pseudo-military hardware. Alarmed by this, he returned to Sinnoh, only to encounter the remnants of Team Galactic. Due to Team Galactic's bad habit of telling everyone their plans, Eugine caught on quickly, and was repulsed by this sentiment, vowing to stop them. Sadly, he didn't see any, simply asking around for people with bright blue hair.

His detective efforts in vain, he continued his search for steady employment, preferably while using his abilities. After a couple of failed attempts at getting people out of the Wayward Cave (for a price), he simply decided to become another Pokémon trainer, at which he was passable, but not astonishing. Deciding he was happier wandering and preaching, he saved for a plane ticket to Unova, and has stayed there for some time now.

Class: Mystic Avatar.

Ability: Eugine has rather advanced control over space, including telekinesis, teleportation, moving himself around like a puppet, enabling himself to fly short distances and, in extreme circumstances, tearing purple 'rifts' into space to engulf his foes. He does this rarely, however, due to it angering Palkia. His powers stem from the embodiment of space, Palkia, who has gifted him with a fraction of its massive power. Eugine considers this power a blessing, and he outright worships Palkia as a figure to be venerated, often preaching to others about his patron. He rarely uses these abilities in a fight, and refrains from using them in general.

His abilities have limits, however, and overuse of them can exhaust the old man. Furthermore, he is physically frailer than many, due to his age and lack of physical training. He is still in good enough shape to run for a period of time, but that is the upper limit of his physical capacity.

Pokemon: (full team if Master Trainer, single Pokemon if other)

Name/Nickname: Porstale
Species: Claydol
Gender: None
Description and Personality: Porstale was found by Eugine when he was about fifteen, and started following him, entranced by Eugine's power. While considered his Pokémon, Porstale has other agendas, although it will obey Eugine. It gravitates towards Mystic Avatars, and seems intent on gathering as many of them as possible in one place. Not in a Pokéball. Makes a low humming noise when pleased.

@Omegagoldfish: Wilhelm and Eugine are denied - there's not enough detail.

So, the concepts, ages, and whatnot are all accepted, I just need to add more extraneous bits? Or are there any other problems other than lack of detail?
 

legnak

Alvion Region it is!
Finally got my first character done:

Name: Legna James Krad
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Physical Description: Legna is a male standing at an even 6'0 and weighs about 220 pounds, he has spiky dark brown, almost black hair, to go along with it he has a well kept beard that is described as hollywoodian. Legna's Gray-brown eyes are almost always hidden by a pair of Red sunglasses with a Skarmory head emblem on them, the rest of his attire used include dark blue denim jeans, black combat boots, a black Tee-shirt with red trim, a pair of dog tags that have his age, name, blood type, and home region on them, a long sleeved Red and black windbreaker jacket that is usually unzipped, and black fingerless work-grip gloves, the latter of the two to cover up his Ceramic and Carbon-Fibre Prosthetic right arm which is operational.

Personality: Legna is a rather outspoken, yet kind person who prefers to meet others halfway instead of the typical my way or the highway personalities you see in other people of his status. Legna has a huge knack for battling and is almost completely obsessed in seeing how other people think during battle, most the time he lets his own Pokémon do all the thinking in battle, believing that Pokémon are not tools, but also free thinking comrades.

Legna's taste in music is almost anything - but preferring to enjoy classic rock and heavy metal most of all, his tastes in foods are that of the average young adult - not a huge fan of gourmet cooking and high price restaurants, however, Legna is far from opposed to resorting to those areas if the occasion calls for such a place.

outside of battling and other social events, Legna prefers his solitude listening to music and meditating with his fellow Pokemon, believing that most his strength comes from within the spirit of the Pokemon and Person, not just the physical forces.

Region From: Hoenn

Region Currently In: Alola

History: Legna was born in a region just south of Unova, but was constantly on the move due to his father being in the military, by age twelve he had managed to visit all but the Kalos and Kanto regions before settling down in Hoenn region's dewford town, as he grew older, he developed an interest in the pokemon in the area and by age 16 he spent most his time in granite cave exploring what ever he could.

One day when he stumbled across an Aggron's nest which had almost a dozen unhatched eggs inside, amazed at what he found he crawled closer to it to get a better look, not wanting to disturb the nest itself, however, Legna had noticed a mawile sneaking towards the nest as well, at that point he had started to back off to avoid disturbing natures course despite himself wanting to defend the eggs he slipped on a rock, alerting the mawile, rather quickly, the deceiver pokemon attacked Legna and bit down with its jaws, and dug into his right arm. The commotion apparently alerted the mother Aggron to return to its nest as both the Mawile and Legna were fighting. The Aggron then slammed itself against the Mawile causing a loud snap; that being Legna's forearm coming off from its already weakened state of Mawile digging into the bone, almost immediately afterwards, he hit the ground, passing out due to the shock of the sudden amputation.

Legna awoke shortly after by something nudging him, it was the Aggron seeing if he was alive which he was (obviously), Seeing his condition, the Aggron went to seek other humans for help. During the time that the Aggron was gone, the nest had started to become "active" and the Arons were starting to hatch, not wanting the hatchlings to bond with the wrong person, Legna crawled out of sight to hide behind some stones, unfortunately he wasn't as lucky because half way towards his destination he felt a weight land on his leg and a higher pitched "Uff"; one of the newly hatched Aron had seen him, despite attempts to coax the Aron back to its nest, the hatchling stayed by his side for about an hour before the mother came back with a small party of four people to retrieve Legna.

Legna was then transported to the Mauville city hospital where they had advanced prosthetic and Legna had recovered rather slowly, despite the incident, Legna returned daily to Granite Cave and became good friends with the Aggron and her Brood, however after about a year, Legna decided it was time to make a journey into Kanto, when he went to say his goodbyes to his Metal friends, the smallest of the Aron ran to him and clinged to his leg, as he picked the Aron up to tell him that it was okay, and that he'd be back, the mother gave a approving nod to take the Aron with him, Promising that he'd take good care of it, he left the cave, ready to depart for Kanto.

Along his journey in Kanto, Legna collected a massive array of Pokémon, and as his team grew, so did his fanbase- by the time he defeated Koga in Fushcia City, he was already moderately well known around Kanto and Johto, it wasn't until the elite four did Legna realize just how big a following he had. Legna quickly defeated the Elite Four until he faced against the dragon master - Lance, after an hours long battle between Legna's Aggron and Metagross and Lance's Dragonites the battle drew to a near draw, only broken when his Metagross managed to pull itself together and stand - Bringing Legna victory and ultimately the Indigo Champion- to which he turned down the title as a standing champion, leaving that for the next challenger as he did not want to stick around in Kanto for long after.

After all was said and done in Kanto, Legna decided to return to Hoenn to visit his family, upon returning it was revealed that a mining operation about to take place in Granite cave for resources, to which Legna used what funding he had to pay off the workers to mine on the other side of the island, of course- for exchange of 10% of the profits as well, a deal which quickly became a lucrative source of income for the young trainer. Despite the operations going smoothly without any damages to Granite Cave, Legna failed to trust the company that first attempted to strip the cave, so he entrusted his Aggron to stay behind and be the protector of the cave - a job that brought a mass of mixed feelings to Legna as he was leaving his first Pokémon and closest friend behind for the better.

The home life however, was not enough for Legna, for he still had the will to take on the Hoenn League - a challenge that went by incredibly fast for him until the battle in Lavaridge that caused a massive loss for the team - something that was almost a thing of the past for Legna and his team, and something that some members of his team took too harshly. after multiple attempts to challenge Flannery and failing, Legna returned to slateport for some better answers, along his journey, Legna stumbled across a young Shellos that was almost immediately attached to him, not wanting to hurt the Pokémons feelings, Legna took it and and began raising the young sea slug until it evolved - and quickly became the vital key for defeating flannery. After the long overdue victory, Legna decided to keep the little Pokémon on his team and continued to petalburg to go on with his dreams of being the Hoenn League champion.

Finishing the gym challenges steadily got more and more difficult for Legna and his team as his fanbase massively grew, giving the leaders time to change up tactics and strategies against Legna, however, this seemed more benefical for Legna because it allowed his team to synergize better and allowed them to grow closer to each other, by the end of the gym challenges, Legna was given the option to replace the current Sootopolis gym leader as he was willing to step down, or continue on challenging the Hoenn Elite Four - a choice that was immediately picked to finish the challenge. Shortly thereafter Legna finished the League wth almost perfect precision, until he met Steven - the standing champion. The battle raged for hours, the intensity almost too much for Legna to bear, finally ended when his Malamar made managed to KO Stevens Mega Metagross. after the battle, the former champion gifted Legna the megastone for Metagross as a memento for the battle they shared, however, Legna rejected the position of standing Champion and returned to Dewford.

After a couple years of living with what he thought was enough, an old friend of Legna's contacted him, asking for his assistance in Alola, to which, Legna happily took up the offer, collected his team and set out to the region.



Class: Master Trainer

Pokemon:

Name: Chromeitheus
Species: Metagross
Gender: Genderless

Personality: Chromeitheus is a brash, cocky, "I can handle it myself" kind of Pokémon that often lets its past overinflate its ego, which often leads to more trouble than help. Despite its ego getting to his head most the time, Chromeitheus is always ready to take a hit for his fellow team mates, especially Squishy - Legna's Gastrodon, a Pokémon that Chromeitheus has long befriended.

History: Chromeitheus is one of Legna's longest running team members and one of his closest friends, originally given to Legna as a Beldum by a close friend of the family while he was taking on the Kanto League, the Beldum quickly became one of Legna's most powerful Pokémon, evolving into Metang rather early on and single-handedly taking down both Koga and Sabrina without any help - which started Chromeitheus' decent into being egotistical and over eagerness to fight everything it could, after Legna defeated the Kanto League and returned to Hoenn, Legna let his main Pokémon, an Aggron return to his place of birth in Granite Cave, Chromeitheus became Legna's main battle Pokémon, to which it easily toppled the first three Hoenn Gyms without a problem - further feeding into its ego trip, it wasn't until the battle against Flannery did Chromeitheus suffer its first heavy loss, leading Chromeitheus to become a very spiteful and agressive Pokémon. Despite this setback, Legna continued to use Chromeitheus throughout the rest of the Hoenn league and beat the champion there.

Description: Chromeitheus is a shiny Metagross and is of about average height, it is covered in numerous scraped and dents from years of battling and travelling, to which it wears with pride.

------------

Name: Squishy
Species: Gastrodon
Gender: Male

Personality: Squishy is a very happy and loving Pokémon that is almost always carefree and excited about everything around him, much to the likeness of a happy toddler. Squishy also loves to show his affection by rubbing his body against his trainer, often leaving a goopy mess.

History: Squishy was found by Legna just north of Slateport as the young Pokémon was forging for food, but being an overly friendly Pokémon, Legna caught the Shellos and helped him become a Gastrodon. Since the battle with Flannery Squishy has been a permanent part of Legna's team due to his great coverage and loving personality that even Chromeitheus likes.

Description: Squishy is an East sea form Gastrodon

------------

Name: Gahirra
Species: Garchomp
Gender: Female

Description: There is no differences between Gahirra and any other female Garchomp, She also has the rough skin ability.

Personality: Gahirra, unlike most Garchomps is very social and playful, more often than not unwilling to battle because she fears her own strength may hurt others more than a normal battle would, Despite this, she is incredibly loyal to her trainer and her team and will become very hostile if anyone is threatened. Outside of any fighting situations, Gahirra prefers to stay outside her ball, much like the rest of Legna's team and often tries to Hug her trainer, often accidentally scratching him in the process, to which she becomes very apologetic and tries to make up for it.

History: Gahirra was one of the few Pokémon that Legna received from fans as a gift during his travels, given to him as an egg, He was the first thing the young Gible imprinted on and for a while would act like Legna was her mother, as she aged though, she became a vital component for Legna's team and became one of his favorites on his team, favoring her use over other ground types he had aquired, the only exception being Squishy; Legna's Gastrodon, which at first lead to some rivalry between the two until they both realized they both had very different roles on his team, to which Gahirra became very understanding and calmed down. Whenever she evolved into a Garchomp, Legna was unsure how the Pokémon would react in terms of its behavior and became rather hesitant on using her due to previous encounters with the Mach Pokémon, however it became quickly apparent that she was a gentle, playful dragon, since then she has been a powerful member of Legna's team.


------------

Name/Nickname: Crypdomin
Species: Aerodactyl
Gender: Male

Description: Crypdomin's left wing is tattered and scared from a previous incident.

Personality: Crypdomin, just like the average Aerodactyl is a very noisy, aggressive and possessive Pokémon who enjoys to fight, sometimes completely ignoring Legna's orders and going into direct peril to get his target. Blamed on his "Primitive Instinct"; Crypdomin prefers to grab his targets in vulnerable positions and take them airborne, and then dive bomb them into the ground to finish them off, to which, Legna only uses his Aerodactyl in worst case scenarios.

History: During Legna's journey in the Kanto Region he purchased a couple suvonieers from the Pewter City Museum, one of them happened to be a DNA rich old amber that he eventually revived it in Rustboro out of sheer curiosity, only to immediately be dealing with a handful of a Pokémon, for a while Crypdomin was off of Legna's team due to its behaviour and up until recently spent most of its life in the Dewford Research facility.

Other: Crypdomin is totally infatuated with Gahirra - Legna's Garchomp.

------------

Name/Nickname: Winston
Species: Oranguru
Gender: Male

Description: There is no differences between Winston and any other normal Oranguru.

Personality: Winston is a very calm and collected individual, preferring not to fight and loves to match his wits with any Pokémon or Person that is willing to do so with him. Whenever Winston is forced to battle, he makes due of his psychic powers to confuse his enemies and then makes his escape as he does not believe in harming another Pokémon. Winston also loves to meditate alongside Legna, believing that he can help his trainer achieve total tranquility.

History: Winston has been in Legna's life the longest out of all his Pokémon due to being originally his Mothers starting Pokémon when she was a young trainer, being close with each other during Legna's childhood, Winston was always eager to teach the young boy in the ways of being peaceful and introduced Legna to meditation, leading to where Legna is today. After Legna returned from beating the Hoenn league, Winston returned to meditating with the young trainer and ended up joining his party after Legna's mother gifted the Oranguru to him as she was no longer one to call herself a trainer and didn't want Winston to be bored.

Other: Winston can communicate with Legna VIA Sign Language.
------------

Name/Nickname: All-Spark
Species: Rotom
Gender: Genderless

Description: All-spark is the same as any other Rotom, however, All-spark prefers to be in his cut form

Personality: All-spark can be described in one phrase; a Prankster, its favorite thing to do is scare people and often causes more issues than it means to, since it always is getting into troubles, Legna keeps it in its Pokéball - something that it knows how to get out of very well, when in battle - All-spark tends to try and wear its opponents down before attacking them by burning them and evading thier moves.

History: All-spark was captured by Legna when he was in Kanto's abandoned powerplant during his Indigo league challenge and wasn't used until much later as at the time Legna had a Haunter on his team already, after he had released Haunter back to Lavender Town he started to use All-spark in the later half of his Indigo journey, it wasn't until Legna battled Blaine did he realize how versitile and helpful the little spark Pokémon was with its ability to posses machinery, however, that became All-Sparks long reign of infiltrating random things and pranking Legna and his team.

Other: All-Spark can communicate via human speech by infiltrating Legna's phone.

I wasn't done with Fern lol. Rhuna was done though.

Just needed to finish the history. Wasn't really going to add much to it, just wanted to make it a tad bit longer and talk about her "dad" and what he does. Glad to know there's nothing wrong though.

Here's my effort. It may need fine tuning, but it should hopefully be done

Name: James Quinn

Gender: Male

Age: 32

Appearance: James appearance tends to stand out, and be noticed. James is naturally tall, but not bulky, standing at six foot two inches, with a lean frame. He has a young looking face and a smooth chin. His face makes him appear a few years younger than he actually is. James' eyes are a bright green color that shines with enthusiasm, showing his excitable attitude. James' hair color is a very yellow blond, and is not too long, but is naturally very spiky and untamed. He normally lets it free, but for formal events will slick it down, despite his distaste for it. James has a normal white complexion, and his body is free of things such as scars or piercings.

James tends to not be too picky when it comes to his clothing. He generally tends to prefer informal and easy to move in outfits. He prefers t-shirts with cool patterns, pop culture references, or funny saying on them. His favorite is a white shirt with running lines of red, purple, and black running across it diagonally. He likes to wear light shorts that are easy to maneuver in, such as basketball shorts, that are customized to hold his pokeballs. He prefers a pair of black sneakers that are hardy enough to stand up to lots of motion. Above his shirt, James wears a red windbreaker, usually left unzipped, with pockets. He prefers to wear a black and gold baseball cap, which usually gives him a worse case of bedhead if he takes it off. In public, he has a pair of advanced sunglasses to both prevent eye strain and hide his eyes. He has a pair of black fingerless gloves he wears when battling or doing work. He generally doesn't like wearing jewelry of any kind, but he has a necklace with a 3 stones on it, a ruby, an amethyst, and an onyx he keeps for personal reasons. Lastly, he has a backpack he uses to carry his gear,

James carries himself with a confident aura around him in public. He stands up straight, making him appear large and imposing. In private he tends to relax a bit more, and be more willing to slouch or spread himself across a couch.

Personality: James Quinn is a naturally extroverted person. This can take people aback, who expect him to be more conservative like other famous celebrities. He enjoys meeting new people, taking in new sights, and enjoying new experiences. He can be a bit overzealous when it comes to these, which can make him act brash or annoying at first, especially to people who don't have the option of walking away. Generally, James will apologize if he makes people uncomfortable, and try to make up for it. He can act rash or without thinking if a situation is distressing or stressful, and may need someone to stop him from acting out. Still, he does care about others. He tends to act a bit lavishly with money, as he acts fairly cheap, and tends to express friendship with gifts, which may or may not be wanted ones. James does look out for his friends, and is fairly willing to open up to others. He's not always patient with others though, and if curious enough he may press someone too hard, and encourage them to clam up. This leads to him trying harder, which can create an endless loop if others don't interfere.

Despite his love of experiencing new things, James tends to get somewhat bored rather quickly. If he doesn't immediately master a new thing, he will generally decide not to bother with it. There are certain things he takes interest in despite not achieving instant success, and these mostly lie in the fields of Pokemon. Due to his upbringing, James has a large knowledge of how Pokemon can develop and grow, and as such, understands the wide variety of moves and tactics each Pokemon can use. He sees battles, contests, even movies as ways people and Pokemon can express themselves using nothing but creativity.

James has a poor sense of humor, loving puns and dad jokes, and also the effects his bad jokes have on others. He is fond of saying that bad jokes are the best, because the real laughs come from peoples faces when he tells them. He also has a fondness for sarcasm and self deprecating jokes. Beneath his joking and sociable exterior though, hides an experienced man, with 22 years of experience by himself, with only his Pokemon by his side. When it comes to a fight, James shows that joking around doesn't mean taking fights lightly. He can analyze a Pokemon incredibly fast due to his research and childhood, being able to tell how a Pokemon was raised, its specialties, past injuries, and other information. He can then formulate a plan on the fly to take down his foes. Even then, he's willing to crack a joke, and in less dire circumstances, offer constructive criticism and ideas.

Generally, James has a pretty positive opinion of Science Experiments and Mystic Adepts. He finds the Mystic Adepts slightly cooler, due to their close connection to the Pokemon he loves so much, but he still loves Science, and thinks that Science Experiments are cool. He dislikes the actual science experiments that created them though, feeling that while the fact they were able to rise above and use their powers for good is cool, no one should have to go through that

Region From: Johto

Region In: Alola

History: James' story is not at all a tragic one. In fact, James actually has a pretty normal childhood. He was the only child, born to a normal dad and mom in Goldenrod City in Johto. His mother ran a decently large breeding company, while his father was an office worker for Silph Co. When he was 5, his parents amicably divorced, and James lived with his mother for the most part. His mother decided that bringing him up around Pokemon would be a good idea, so she started bringing him in to work, and letting him watch over the Pokemon in her care. James was fascinated by the wealth of Pokemon on display, from winning breeds to powerful individuals, as well as how the Pokemon all had individual needs and wants. He was inspired by the Pokemon, and vowed to take his journey as soon as possible. It was during this time that he fell in love with reading scientific papers and texts, as many of the workers would often leave their books or papers lying around, and James, being bored, would try to read them, although he would ask for help with big words. When he became 10, he set out on his journey. However, he wasn't able to see a Professor to get a starter. Instead, his mother gave him a present, as she had used her connections to secure a Charmander and two Eevees for his journey.

James traveled through Johto, a perilous journey, and eventually he conquered all 8 gyms, and entered the final tournament, where he placed actually fairly poorly. Still, he was hooked. He immediately set out for Kanto, where he repeated the process, and placed slightly better at the final tournament. James would keep heading from region to region, sometimes returning to old challenges, sometimes entirely new regions, slowly building a team over time, placed higher and higher, having many small journeys and helping many people, until he finally won his first tourney at the age of 19 in Sinnoh. While he was still unable to beat the Elite Four, he knew he still had room to grow. During a trip to Hoenn, he eventually started entering Coordinator competitions, winning a few and putting in stellar performances at the Final Cup for Coordinators, but never won. He would travel to Unova, and become part of Pokestar Studios, having the staring role in a few films, and minor roles in others. Later in his travels, he would go to Kalos, and receive a Mega Ring, and he would become fairly proficient in the art of using it.

Now 31, James has a not inconsiderable amount of fame amongst the battling circuit, having spent almost two-thirds of his life doing it and even some fame amongst the mass audience. His constant threat at tournaments, his coordinating skills, and his movie star appearances, combined with his eccentric personality, make him a person of interest among the people. He isn't a mega-celebrity, but people tend to know his name, and he tries to be friendly with all his fans. He isn't mega wealthy, but he has made a fair amount of money through his victories, and his mother's breeding company is both well known and does a large amount of business. He currently is in Alola, having just recently finished the Island Challenge in order to master Z-power, and is now planning on taking it easy for a while. But, as always he's ready to leap into the next thing with arms wide open

Class: Master Trainer

Ability: He has no ability, beyond a good memory for Pokemon

Pokemon:

Name: Rory

Gender: Male

Species: Charizard

Personality/Description: Rory is at first glance a very imposing Charizard. He stands taller than most others of his species, and across his large frame is a network of scars and dense muscle that show he is a fighter. He wears a red bandanna on his right arm. Rory is one of James' first Pokemon, along with Kieran and Evin. He is serious and disciplined outside of battle, unlike his trainer James, but in battle shows signs of loving the adrenaline rush. Outside of battle, he acts as the Team Dad, making sure everyone is keeping their skills sharp, and no one has problems. Fittingly, he loves James' poor sense of humor, though he pretends not to. His preferred fighting style is straight to the point, pure power physical attacks and raging flames, all delivered as fast as possible. James only has Charizardite Y, so Rory can only access his Y mega form

Name: Evin

Gender: Female

Species: Espeon

Personality/Description: Evin is taller than a normal Espeon, standing even with her brother Kieran, and her fur coat is immaculately groomed. She has a purple bandanna wrapped on her right front leg. She is one of James' first Pokemon, along with Rory and Kieran. If Rory is the Team Dad, Evin is the Team Mom, making sure everyone is doing okay, fussing over injuries. However, if she finds someone has lied to her or betrayed her trust, they're out of luck. She's friendly overall, and is more similar to her brother than she may admit. In battle, she uses her psychic abilities to snare opponents, and open them up to powerful attacks

Name: Kieran

Gender: Male

Species: Umbreon

Personality/Description: Kieran has no real distinguishing features to separate him from normal Umbreons, except for a black bandanna wrapped around his left front leg. He is one of James' first Pokemon, along with Rory and Evin. James' personality has clearly rubbed off on Kieran, as he is jolly and good natured, even in battles. He approaches friend making easily, but his kindness and naivety should not be mistaken for weakness. In battle, Kieran fight using status conditions and precision strikes to disable foes, and dodging, tanking, and healing to prevent opponents from taking him down.

Name: Cian

Gender: Male

Species: Lucario

Personality/Description: Cian has a leaner frame than most Lucario, and wears an orange bandana around his right arm. Cian was found by James as a Riolu on Iron Isle during his first trip to Sinnoh. Cian had hatched all alone, and jumped at the chance to join up with James after he fed him. Cian acts like a wizened warrior, always acting mysteriously, or like he knows his opponents moves before his opponent does. This benefits his fighting style, which has powerful special attacks to force his opponents to come near, where he focuses on countering attacks and delivering devastating blows. James has a mega stone for him, allowing him to evolve to Mega Lucario

Name: Dara

Gender: Female

Species: Sceptile

Personality/Description: A normal sized Sceptile, Dara has a scar over one eye, though it is shallow enough that the eye is still one hundred percent functional. She wears a green bandanna on her right leg. Dara was caught in Hoenn, after James helped assist her in saving her group of Treecko from a attacking Tailow flock about 13 years ago. Dara challenged him, and he accepted the battle. Dara is shy and quiet, and likes to keep to herself. She can appear to be quite standoffish, but never wants to actually be rude. Her preferred fighting style has her hiding and laying traps, using digging, her speed, and misdirection to fool opponents, opening them up for powerful attacks. James has a mega stone for her, allowing her to evolve to Mega Sceptile.

Name: Sarah

Gender: Female

Species: Absol

Personality/Description: Sarah has a longer horn than usual for Absol, and wears a white bandana tied to her tail. Sarah was encountered during one of James' journeys into Hoenn's mountains 10 years ago. She tried to warn a village of its possible destruction in an avalanche, but was rejected. James helped her save the village, and in return, she chose to join him. Sarah is a stoic character, unfazed by the whims of fate. She specializes in reading the odds of disaster, a talent James has jokingly nicknamed "Chance Dancing" which she secretly likes. She uses this ability in battles to avoid damaging blows, and returns fire with powerfully damaging physical attacks. James has a mega stone for her, so she can evolve to Mega Absol

Yeah, she's supposed to be a gym leader, that's why I stated it at the beginning and had her open a gym at the end of her history. I can change it if non-canon gyms are that big of a problem for you, though I always figured 8 gyms was just a convenient number for games/anime, not how things would actually work out in real-life.

As explained in the first post, utilizing Pokemon league members was difficult for SHIELD because it led to "the League members being forced to neglect their duties along with a growing public discomfort of the continued militarization of the Pokemon Leagues."

Sorry, there was a lot of information (including SUN/MOON spoilers), I must not have grasped that. But I like I said, I can change it if it's a no-go (though gym leaders have been known to disappear for extended lengths of time in both games/anime), and I'll go re-read the OP to make sure I didn't miss anything else.

Just a note: I've started the RPG with an opening post. I wanted to give you all the freedom to start how you'd like with the only restriction being that we meet in Slateport City.

Just stating that my sign up is complete

Why not both?
So, I was just wondering how this whole recruiting thing would work. Should we have some random guy show up and be like 'Hey, there's this thing called the 'Ultimates', are you interested?'.
