@Jean, Schade and Charre; you're all good. I'll call all three of you accepted. I'll update the list when I get home.
@Sketchie; Actually sketch, I'll allow you Froakie and Tepig. I just need to know the towns, and secondary Pokemon. Although Froakie can only be Coordinator and Tepig can only be Breeder, if that's cool with you?

Name: Maddux Stark
Code name: Shadow
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Veilstone City
Trainer Class: Trainer
Appearance: Maddux Stark is a rather tall and slender person. Standing at approximately 6’2”, Maddux doesn't have much muscle on him, partially because it has been ages since he has done much physical exercise. Maddux would be described of having his legs make the most of his height. Though he has long legs, when Maddux walks he does so in short strides, generally with his hands in his pockets and an emotionless expression painted on his face. Despite not being physically in shape, Maddux isn't a frail stick of a person. His hair is black as black can be and he finds it’s the perfect length; long enough to just cover his ears and reach his eyebrows. Styling it with a brush of his hand, flattening it down in the morning. He does ,however, make sure that he looks presentable enough. Maddux has piercing eyes are a yellow reminiscent of leaves in the fall and has a more or less heart shaped face and high cheekbones. From time to time Maddux can be seen with a stubble. His skin isn't too pale, but lies more on the pale end for being Caucasian
Attire wise, Maddux doesn't overly differ all too much in what he wears. Generally he can be seen in a nice three piece suit, with minimal variance. That variance generally being his tie. If he is feeling like it, he may wear a different colour shirt other than white, or perhaps even a bow-tie. Other than that, every suit is black pants, black jacket and a nice sleek looking black vest with formal dress shoes that of course, are black. He carries his Pokéballs inside his jacket pocket, and doesn't carry much else with him. Basically, if it can fit comfortably in his pockets without bulging he takes it. Though Maddux prefers to dress formal, one can sometimes see him in a general black t-shirt and jeans if he is taking a day off to relax
Personality: Growing up as an only child has made Maddux somewhat of a lonely person. He had plenty of people to be around, but he never considered them true friends. It was not until later in life that Maddux would gain a solitary true friend, though even then he would still feel alone in the world. Despite this loneliness, Maddux is definitely not a shy person. He easily finds a way of making conversation with someone, and occasionally sticks his nose in other people’s business if he overhears something that catches his attention. Maddux is an odd case in that people know who he is, but no one really knows who he truly is. Maddux is truly a lonely person when it comes down to things, and he wishes he could have proper friends, but is utterly lost on how to establish such bonds.
Being quite an intelligent person, Maddux has a good grip of reality and is a quick thinker. When concentrated on a problem at hand, Maddux has his way of blocking the world around him to avoid being distracted. When doing so he appears to be in his own world, which in a way he is, and may ignore others. This to some may make him appear rude. That however is not all that gives people the impression that Maddux is rude. Because of his intelligence, Maddux is rather arrogant. He doesn't understand how some people just don't know certain things, or why they are confused. To Maddux some things just seem plain right obvious while to others maybe not so much. When enraged, he loses all his patience and turns hostile. Maddux can have a real temper about him, stemming from his childhood.
History: Maddux Stark was born and raised as an only child in a wealthy household just outside of Veilstone City in the Sinnoh region. His parents were both well into their careers, his father a CEO of a company and his mother a doctor. Both were often busy, which left Maddux in the care of numerous different people. Following people around, such as cooks or servant, he would try and aid them in their tasks anyway he could. The staff that worked at the mansion grew to enjoy Maddux’s company. In time, Maddux learned valuable things from these people, such as basic cooking skills and how to do laundry. Maddux of course learned all the ins and outs of the mansion that even a curious little boy didn’t know.
Due to his parents frequent absence, Maddux often got whatever he wanted. It began with his parents feeling guilty for not being there and thus spoiling him, to Maddux guilting his parents into giving him things he wanted. Of course because of this, Maddux was not used to be told no, and acted rather arrogant as a child. The arrogance remained to present day, but he overtime got used to not getting what he wanted, though it still frustrates him. Maddux clearly had immense freedom at quite a young age, and at first he loved it. In hindsight though, Maddux regrets the freedom he had as it is the major cause to his loneliness he developed.
Unlike some kids who looked forward to becoming a trainer on their tenth birthday, Maddux had no intention on running out to receive his first Pokémon. He was much more comfortable at home with the numerous Pokémon that lived on his property, and looked forward to his eighteenth birthday where as per the Stark family traditions he would receive a Growlithe to take care of and fire stone. Just after he turned thirteen, Maddux was pretty much forced to attend a private school aimed to help kids become better trainers or co-ordinators. Upon his arrival there, Maddux was the odd kid out. He did not know how to interact with other kids his age, and thus failed to make friends at first. Over the course of the first year, Maddux chose his starter Pokémon and accepted his fate at being all alone. He would fall into routine eating lunch alone every day in the same spot, walking to class alone at all the same times. No one ever really took notice to Maddux, and so he felt like a shadow walking through the school. The only interaction he ever had with other people was when group work was mandatory.
It was in Maddux’s second year at the academy that uplifted his spirits and kept him in this world. Maddux managed to make a friend, meeting as partners for battle class. When she approached him after class to talk, Maddux was completely astonished that someone would do such a thing. That day was the first day in over a year that Maddux ate a meal with someone else. They started to talk and it turned out that she was new to the school and transferred in only a week ago. Maddux was even more surprised when that girl continued to talk to him the next day and the day after. The two quickly became friends, most people speculating that the two were dating, even though they kept telling people they were just friends. Eventually, and unsurprisingly, Maddux developed feeling for her. At first, Maddux kept such feelings secret, not knowing what to do, thinking that they would go away eventually. One day though, as Maddux was eating lunch with her, she looked up from her sandwich and just asked when Maddux was going to ask her out. The two started dating from that day on, and Maddux couldn’t have been happier. That was until a year later in their final year. Still going strong, the two young kids each had different goals for life. Maddux considered tossing away his dreams to stay with her, but she wouldn’t allow it. She couldn’t bear being the person that caused Maddux to throw his dreams away. What if things didn’t work out between them, after all they were still teenagers. So, she broke up with Maddux, allowing him to not throw his life away just for her. After graduation they said goodbye for the last time. She left to continue her education in the Johto region, and Maddux took a once in a lifetime opportunity to travel the world among some of the most interesting people on the planet.
At the end of his journey around the globe, Maddux almost eighteen now, caught word of the takeover in Johto. Worried about his ex-girlfriend he boarded a ship towards the Orre region in response to a girl named Suzy who had helped organize trainers to deal with the Johto conflict.
Weapons and Equipment:
Pokémon
Starter: Piplup
Short Bio: As one of the three starter Pokemom of the Sinnoh region, Maddux was given Piplup upon his entrance at the private school Maddux attended when we was thirteen.
Piplup is very proud Pokémon, sometimes arrogant just like his trainer. He hates to lose, and always thinks he's the best candidate for a battle. When not in his Pokéball, Piplup will try and walk in front as if he is the leader. On several occasions Maddux has had to correct Piplup and assert who is in control, as Piplup can sometimes be too dominant.
Secondary: Shinx
Short Bio: Despite Piplup being his starter Pokémon, Shinx was actually the first Pokémon that Maddux owned. As a child, Maddux found Shinx in one of the acres of their property when he was out playing. Shinx at the time was injured and needed attention immediately to survive. He was rushed to their mansion where Maddux's mother took care of it. When his parents were ready to release it back into the wild, Maddux insisted that they keep the Shinx and that it would get along well with the family Arcanine and Growlithe. On the condition he would be the sole caretaker of the Shinx, his parents eventually gave in.
Shinx is a more of a jolly Pokemon. She is much more cheerful and happy than Maddux or Piplup. She loves to play and annoy Piplup. Especially if Piplup is already in a mood. Shinx is very much attached to Maddux, as Maddux saved her life and cared for her for almost five years now. She can be shy towards some other Pokemon, as it was Pokémon that originally injured her.

Fairy type Trainer
Name: Sabrina Regina Madison
Codename: Princess
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Nimbasa City, Unova
Trainer Class: Coordinator
Appearance:
Sabrina's height is at 5'11", and when she wears high heels often, so she appears to be a few inches taller. She doesn't go into the sun all to often, claiming it's bad for your skin, so her skin is fair as a result. She has a slender build, but still has a feminine figure. She has straight, red hair that falls to her waist, with short bangs that go to her eyebrows. She usually wears a maroon lace headband with a bow attached to it on top of her head to keep her hair tidy. She usually leaves down, but she'll sometimes put it into a high ponytail or bun when participating in a contest, or doing something where her hair needs to be out of the way. Her eyes are almond shaped, and are a very striking shade of green. She doesn't wear make up often, apart from red lipstick and eyeshadow on occasion, as well as concealer, should it be necessary. She puts a lot of effort into maintaining her appearance, and she makes sure to keep her face clear of any blemishes, and to maintain a good weight.
Her outfits tend to vary, but her wardrobe can be described as being, "girly." It mostly contains a lot of pastels, and bright colors in general, especially pink, her favorite color. She has very expensive tastes, and has the money to afford it, or rather her parents do. All the clothes in her closet were either made by her using rare and/or expensive materials, or by a big name designer (who likely also used rare and/or expensive materials.) Knockoffs and cheap things make her skin crawl. (By cheap, she means low quality, it's possible for something to be inexpensive and still good.) She also accessorize with jewelry to flaunt her wealth. She also carries a white designer handbag to carry her things in. Her usual outfit is a short sleeved pink blouse, with a loose, frilly, knee length skirt thats a lighter shade of pink than the blouse is. On her feet, she wears a pair of pink ballet flats, which are the same color as her blouse. She'd rather wear heels, but she knows that isn't practical for this mission. Her ears are pierced, and she wears pearl stud earrings on her ears, a pink pearl necklace around her neck, and a pearl bracelet around her right wrist. She wears a different outfit for every contest she enters, but it is usually a variation of an elegant gown.
Personality: Sabrina is a proud, confident young woman. She can come off as arrogant sometimes, often overestimating herself, while underestimating others, but she does have a kind caring side somewhere deep down, someone just has to be willing to look for it. She is not shy in the slightest, and if given the opportunity, she will say exactly what she thinks, which often gets her into trouble, and offends people. She usually acts very serious and proper, and appears to have no tolerance for low-class behavior, but it's just an act, and she knows how to have fun if the circumstances are right. She is a strong willed individual, and once she's decided on something, it is very difficult to change her mind. Due to her wealthy upbringing, and being given whatever she wanted whenever she asked, she is spoiled, and has very high standards, and she gets upset if things do not meet those standards. She is very frivolous, and she's known for spending money like it grows on trees. Especially if it's someone else's money.
Sabrina values cuteness and beauty in all areas in her life. From her taste in clothes, to the people she associates with, to the kinds of Pokemon she chooses to capture. If your one of those people that do not meet her expectations. Depending on the person, she will avoid you, try to give you a makeover, or be needlessly cruel to you. As one would imagine, looks mean everything to Sabrina. She can often be seen studying her reflection in any reflective surface available. She despises dirt and ugliness with a passion. She hates sports, physical labor, camping, or anything that could possibly get her dirty and ruin her image. If forced to do them, she will complain. Something else she can't stand, bugs. The Butterfly-like Pokemon (Butterfree, Beautifly, Vivilion) are fine, it's the Durants, Pinsirs, and, Scolipedes etc. she can't stand.
She can be a nice person once you get to know her. This is noticeable when she's speaking to someone she finds to be cute, or has taken a liking to. She will act friendly towards them, and if they are younger than her, act like a sister to them. She's also quite generous to her friends. One thing that may surprise you, is that despite being a girly girl, she actually enjoys playing video games, and she has an extensive collection of games at home. (Though, you won't find any shooters or sports games in there. You will find some fighting games though, just nothing excessively violent.) She doesn't hide this fact, and she often brings a portable game system or two with her. She also has an interest in other things that others might consider geeky, such as anime and cartoons. Sabrina is also much smarter than people give her credit for. She received a formal education at an early age, and was able to do well in school without much effort. She enjoys creating Contest appeals, as well as designing and sewing cute outfits for herself and her Pokemon to wear during contests.
History: Sabrina was born in Nimbasa City, and has lived there her whole life. She was born the only child of one of the richest and most famous families in the region. From the time she was a young girl, her socialite mother groomed her daughter to follow in her footsteps, and become a Pokemon Coordinator like she had been, and her grandmother had been before that. Sabrina entered a few unofficial contests for children that were held in Nimbasa's musical hall as a young girl, using a Munna her mother had given her. She didn't win any ribbons but with her motner's coaching, she did very well for newbie. Right away, Sabrina loved everything about Contest. She loved all the attention and praise she got when she was on stage, which started to go to her head.
She has no idea what her parents actually do for a living, other than being businesspeople. All she knows is that both her parents make lots of money, and that they come from a long line of wealthy businesspeople. Due to their busy work schedules, they weren't able to be around as often as they would have liked. The only times she got to see both parents together, were at formal functions. Feeling guilty about this, they spoiled their daughter, and gave her whatever she asked for, often in excess. If she wanted a pony, she got 5 ponies, a stable to keep them in, riding lessons, and people to care for them. If she wanted Candy, she got her own Candy store. The latest C-Gear model? She got the next model before it was available to the public, and it was custom made just for her. As one can imagine, this made her very spoiled, and gave her a superiority complex. She often flaunted her wealth, and had little regard for people she felt were beneath her. Her parents were usually busy, and they never noticed.
For awhile, Sabrina was homeschooled by scholars and tutors that were handpicked by Sabrina's parents. She received etiquette lessons, and was taught how to be a lady, as well as other things in order to groom her to inherit the family fortune. When she was thirteen, she was enrolled into a special battling school in Castleia City. She was there to study to become a Coordinator. Using that same Munna she got when shw was younger, she was able to ace the entrance exams and earn admission. She enjoyed making her Pokemon look good, then putting on a show for others. She did very well in her classes, and maintained fantastic grades her entire time However, because of her condescending attitude, most of the other students treated her with indifference, and most of the friends she did have only hung out with her because of her family's wealth. Sabrina didn't care what they thought, believing that they were just jealous of her good fortune, and that she was better than them anyway. Her goal in life was to be a star, and no one was going to get in the way. Despite being a social butterfly, Sabrina had no real friends. She acts like it doesn't bother her, but deep down, it does.
Despite everything, she excelled in her classes, and graduated first in her year. She received a her Trainer's license and a Snivy, and could now officially participate in Contests outside of Nimbasa. Before she got a chance to earn any ribbons, she heard that takeover in Johto had broken out, and that they were asking for three volunteer trainers to head for Orre in order to deal with the issue. At first, she wondered why they weren't asking for more experienced trainers to deal with this, and thought it best to let the authorities handle this. A small part of her actually wanted to answer the call, thinking it could be fun... as long as she didn't get dirty, That small part of her won out, and the next thing she knew, she was on her way to Orre.

Pokemon
Starter: Snivy (Female)
Nickname: Persephone
Short Bio: Sabrina received this Snivy after graduation. Persephone and Sabrina are practically a perfect match for each other, and they get along very well. They both always seem to have the same smug expression on their face. She is vain and arrogant, much like her trainer. She is also very proud, and she refuses to accept anything less than perfect. She loves being in the spotlight. She can't stand when another Pokemon is getting more attention than her, and when that happens, she'll attempt to do something to upstage the other Pokemon. Sabrina dresses her in little outfits she made herself, that match whatever she's wearing at the time. She knows she won't be able to do this when Persephone becomes a Serperior, so she figures she may as well enjoy it now. She often mimics her trainer's gestures.
Secondary: Munna (Female)
Nickname: Selene
Short Bio: Knowing her daughter's tastes, Sabrina's mother gave her this Munna when she was young, in order to participate in a contest. Compared to Persephone and Sabrina, Selene is much more modest. This Munna is a more of a jolly Pokemon. She is much more cheerful and happy than Persephone, much to Persephone's annoyance. A friendly, and sociable Pokemon, Selene tries to have conversations with anyone she meets, human or Pokemon. She likes making new friends, and is not afraid to strike up a conversation with a random stranger, human or Pokemon. She likes participating in contests, because she enjoys putting on a show. She talks to human by making images with the dream mist that spews from the hole on her forehead. As expected of a Munna, her favorite food is sweet dreams.

All the clothes in her closet were either made by her using rare and/or expensive materials, or by a big name designer (who likely also used rare and/or expensive materials.) Knockoffs and cheap things make her skin crawl. (By cheap, she means low quality, it's possible for something to be inexpensive and still good.) She also accessorize with jewelry to flaunt her wealth. She also carries a white designer handbag to carry her things in. Her usual outfit is a short sleeved pink blouse, with a loose, frilly, knee length skirt thats a lighter shade of pink than the blouse is. On her feet, she wears a pair of pink ballet flats, which are the same color as her blouse. She'd rather wear heels, but she knows that isn't practical for this mission. Her ears are pierced, and she wears pearl stud earrings on her ears, a pink pearl necklace around her neck, and a pearl bracelet around her right wrist. She wears a different outfit for every contest she enters, but it is usually a variation of an elegant gown.
Personality: Sabrina is a proud, confident young woman. She can come off as arrogant sometimes, often overestimating herself, while underestimating others, but she does have a kind caring side somewhere deep down, someone just has to be willing to look for it. She is not shy in the slightest, and if given the opportunity, she will say exactly what she thinks, which often gets her into trouble, and offends people. She usually acts very serious and proper, and appears to have no tolerance for low-class behavior, but it's just an act, and she knows how to have fun if the circumstances are right. She is a strong willed individual, and once she's decided on something, it is very difficult to change her mind. Due to her wealthy upbringing, and being given whatever she wanted whenever she asked, she is spoiled, and has very high standards, and she gets upset if things do not meet those standards. She is very frivolous, and she's known for spending money like it grows on trees. Especially if it's someone else's money.
Sabrina values cuteness and beauty in all areas in her life. From her taste in clothes, to the people she associates with, to the kinds of Pokemon she chooses to capture. If your one of those people that do not meet her expectations. Depending on the person, she will avoid you, try to give you a makeover, or be needlessly cruel to you. As one would imagine, looks mean everything to Sabrina. She can often be seen studying her reflection in any reflective surface available. She despises dirt and ugliness with a passion. She hates sports, physical labor, camping, or anything that could possibly get her dirty and ruin her image. If forced to do them, she will complain. Something else she can't stand, bugs. The Butterfly-like Pokemon (Butterfree, Beautifly, Vivilion) are fine, it's the Durants, Pinsirs, and, Scolipedes etc. she can't stand.
She can be a nice person once you get to know her. This is noticeable when she's speaking to someone she finds to be cute, or has taken a liking to. She will act friendly towards them, and if they are younger than her, act like a sister to them. She's also quite generous to her friends. One thing that may surprise you, is that despite being a girly girl, she actually enjoys playing video games, and she has an extensive collection of games at home. (Though, you won't find any shooters or sports games in there. You will find some fighting games though, just nothing excessively violent.) She doesn't hide this fact, and she often brings a portable game system or two with her. She also has an interest in other things that others might consider geeky, such as anime and cartoons. Sabrina is also much smarter than people give her credit for. She received a formal education at an early age, and was able to do well in school without much effort. She enjoys creating Contest appeals, as well as designing and sewing cute outfits for herself and her Pokemon to wear during contests.
History: Sabrina was born in Nimbasa City, and has lived there her whole life. She was born the only child of one of the richest and most famous families in the region. From the time she was a young girl, her socialite mother groomed her daughter to follow in her footsteps, and become a Pokemon Coordinator like she had been, and her grandmother had been before that. Sabrina entered a few unofficial contests for children that were held in Nimbasa's musical hall as a young girl, using a Munna her mother had given her. She didn't win any ribbons but with her motner's coaching, she did very well for newbie. Right away, Sabrina loved everything about Contest. She loved all the attention and praise she got when she was on stage, which started to go to her head.
She has no idea what her parents actually do for a living, other than being businesspeople. All she knows is that both her parents make lots of money, and that they come from a long line of wealthy businesspeople. Due to their busy work schedules, they weren't able to be around as often as they would have liked. The only times she got to see both parents together, were at formal functions. Feeling guilty about this, they spoiled their daughter, and gave her whatever she asked for, often in excess. If she wanted a pony, she got 5 ponies, a stable to keep them in, riding lessons, and people to care for them. If she wanted Candy, she got her own Candy store. The latest C-Gear model? She got the next model before it was available to the public, and it was custom made just for her. As one can imagine, this made her very spoiled, and gave her a superiority complex. She often flaunted her wealth, and had little regard for people she felt were beneath her. Her parents were usually busy, and they never noticed.
For awhile, Sabrina was homeschooled by scholars and tutors that were handpicked by Sabrina's parents. She received etiquette lessons, and was taught how to be a lady, as well as other things in order to groom her to inherit the family fortune. When she was thirteen, she was enrolled into a special battling school in Castleia City. She was there to study to become a Coordinator. Using that same Munna she got when shw was younger, she was able to ace the entrance exams and earn admission. She enjoyed making her Pokemon look good, then putting on a show for others. She did very well in her classes, and maintained fantastic grades her entire time However, because of her condescending attitude, most of the other students treated her with indifference, and most of the friends she did have only hung out with her because of her family's wealth. Sabrina didn't care what they thought, believing that they were just jealous of her good fortune, and that she was better than them anyway. Her goal in life was to be a star, and no one was going to get in the way. Despite being a social butterfly, Sabrina had no real friends. She acts like it doesn't bother her, but deep down, it does.
Despite everything, she excelled in her classes, and graduated first in her year. She received a her Trainer's license and a Snivy, and could now officially participate in Contests outside of Nimbasa. Before she got a chance to earn any ribbons, she heard that takeover in Johto had broken out, and that they were asking for three volunteer trainers to head for Orre in order to deal with the issue. At first, she wondered why they weren't asking for more experienced trainers to deal with this, and thought it best to let the authorities handle this. A small part of her actually wanted to answer the call, thinking it could be fun... as long as she didn't get dirty, That small part of her won out, and the next thing she knew, she was on her way to Orre.

Pokemon
Starter: Snivy (Female)
Nickname: Persephone
Short Bio: Sabrina received this Snivy after graduation. Persephone and Sabrina are practically a perfect match for each other, and they get along very well. They both always seem to have the same smug expression on their face. She is vain and arrogant, much like her trainer. She is also very proud, and she refuses to accept anything less than perfect. She loves being in the spotlight. She can't stand when another Pokemon is getting more attention than her, and when that happens, she'll attempt to do something to upstage the other Pokemon. Sabrina dresses her in little outfits she made herself, that match whatever she's wearing at the time. She knows she won't be able to do this when Persephone becomes a Serperior, so she figures she may as well enjoy it now. She often mimics her trainer's gestures.
Secondary: Munna (Female)
Nickname: Selene
Short Bio: Knowing her daughter's tastes, Sabrina's mother gave her this Munna when she was young, in order to participate in a contest. Compared to Persephone and Sabrina, Selene is much more modest. This Munna is a more of a jolly Pokemon. She is much more cheerful and happy than Persephone, much to Persephone's annoyance. A friendly, and sociable Pokemon, Selene tries to have conversations with anyone she meets, human or Pokemon. She likes making new friends, and is not afraid to strike up a conversation with a random stranger, human or Pokemon. She likes participating in contests, because she enjoys putting on a show. She talks to human by making images with the dream mist that spews from the hole on her forehead. As expected of a Munna, her favorite food is sweet dreams.

Just finished my SU. I'm actually quite proud of Alabaster, yet I feel that he's a bit too generic at some points.

literally some guy
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, meet - Chase Lewis! (He was originally used in VampirateMace's "Prof. Gureshaw's Midnight Class," this is my first time trying to remake a character... I hope this goes well.) This is currently a WIP, 'cause I can't finish all at once.
Name: Chase Lewis
Codename: Rusty
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Lentimas Town
Trainer Class: Breeder
Appearance: Chase is tall, about 6 foot 6 inches. He is fairly strong, but still has a lean figure. He has an olive skin tone, with gets a little darker in the summer. His face is tall and boyish, with english green eyes and slim eyebrows. He is always clean shaven, due to his distaste in facial hair. He has pale, thin lips, and nice cheeks complete with dimples when he smiles. He has flame red hair, mostly cut short except for his bang, which cover his forehead. He has a long scar near his left eye from falling into an untrimmed rosebush. His arms and legs are slightly toned, but not so far as crossing into bulging muscles. He has large hands that may as well be amphibious - they are always soft and pleasantly moist. His voice has more or less stabilized at a smooth, tenor-almost-bass tone.
Chase wears a a silk, red collar shirt with the collar and top button undone and the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He wears long, black jeans, and black converse. Around his neck is a thin, black chord necklace with a ruby rose pendant, and he wears a thick, black bracelet on both his wrists. He never, ever, ever, wears a coat and/or jacket. The most he will ever wear in terms of warm clothing is maybe a black scarf. Maybe. He also may or may not take off his shirt.
Personality: Chase is most likely the most flirtatious person you'll ever meet. He's as smooth astumblr honey, and if there is a pretty girl, you better believe he'll be at her side. He likes to be on the stage, in the limelight, and he'll be making jokes and making friends wherever he goes. He's very energetic, and can get over excited, not to mention his short attention span over anything he doesn't care for. All this extrovert-ism has a price, however, he tends to regret his over-confidence, worrying he came off as annoying. He cares about his friends a lot, and he's as loyal as a dog. If his friends are sad, he'll try almost anything to cheer them up. When necessary, he can be calm and serious, and is very good at listening.
Chase loves sports, his favorite being soccer. He plays basketball and soccer. He loves to swim, and will always jump at the chance to do so. He runs every morning before breakfast. He loves food, and always seems to have room for more, no matter how much he's eaten already. He also likes to sing, but he can't play any other instrument other than his vocal chords, and maybe the kazoo. Chase hates math, with a burning passion. He will not do math unless he's at school and he has to, which is probably good because he's not all that good at it. Chase loves to play video games, and is on tumblr often.
Chase is a bit of a sass, and can be very sarcastic when joking. He has a bit of a temper, and snaps at anything when he's angry. Although he doesn't like hurting people, sometimes his jokes come off as mean, and he won't realize it until the damage is done.
History: Chase was born to Holly and Christopher Lewis, on a hot, bright summer day in Lentimas Town. And since that day, his parents knew he would be special -- if he were to ever calm down! As soon as he could crawl, you could not keep him contained. There was one way his parents could keep Chase from running off, however, and that was his older sister Chrisa. Chrisa, who was three years older than Chase, shared his love for activity, energetic nature, and flame red hair. The two would go everywhere together.
When Chase was six years old, Chrisa took him to her "hideout": a small, rocky mountain field near their house. This became their after-school hangout place. The two would build bridges over the creek that ran though with tree branches, race each other climbing rocks, pick flowers for their mother, and play other games of speed and strength. With the help of their father, they brought in a small table, where they would do their schoolwork. Chrisa would oftentimes help Chase with his math, due to Chase's short attention span for anything relating to numbers.
Chase's life marched on as a normal child's life would. He went to school, made many friends, and, sometime when he was seven, his parents signed him up for a soccer league. Unlike math, Chase excelled at soccer, and quickly fell in love with the sport. Although soccer practice was right after school, he would still come home to the rocky field to meet up with Chrisa. Years passed by, and it became his routine: school, soccer, Chrisa.
Lentimas Town, although big enough to have an elementary school, was not big enough to have a middle school or a high school. So, when Chase was in 7th grade, he joined Chrisa on the bus to Undella town to go to Undella Middle School, although Chrisa was then a 9th grader at Crystal Bay High. Chase blazed through gym classes without breaking a sweat, and slogged though math classes. Years passed, and soon he joined Chrisa at Crystal Bay. Chrisa got her license that year, and the two would carpool together. Chase's 9th grade year was as busy as he is. He joined his school's swim team, and, of course, the boys soccer team. Chase hit it off with another member of the team, Markus Hanson, the first practice. The two had many of their classes together, and the two became inseparable. Around this time was also when he started picking up his fancy for girls. Chase's talent for soccer skyrocketed, and he soon became the main "striker" for his team. (Markus shined in blocking the ball, so he was put on goalie.) Freshman year came and went, and before he knew it, he was a sophomore. Markus and Chase had tried out for the Varsity soccer team, and the two made it on the team, as well as Chase being on the swim team again. Chase knew this would be a great year -- Chrisa was a popular senior, Markus and Chase sharing their entire schedule, and Chase was again a striker. What Chase didn't know, was that things were to take a turn for the worse.
It happened on a simple car ride from Lentimas to Undella, over Reversal Mountain. Chrisa's green Toyota glistened in the morning autumn sun. Chase was laughing, Chrisa smiling as she turned a corner. Then - snap. The steering went out. The car didn't turn, and broke though the barriers at the edge of the road. crash. Down the car went. The two rolled down the mountain, until finally coming to a stop in a little valley.
Chrisa died on impact. Chase was devastated. Chrisa died, and he walked away with cuts and bruises. Once the emergency vehicles came, pulled the car from the valley, treated Chase's wounds, and took him, they took Chrisa to the morgue. Chase spent that day sobbing in Chrisa's room. That's when he found it, lying on her side table by her alarm clock. A choker necklace, made of a place chord with a ruby rose pendant on it. It was one of Chrisa's favorite necklaces. Chase picked it up, and put it on. From that day onwards, he wore the necklace every day for Chrisa's memory.
The second event took place months later. Soccer season. After months of practice, Chase and Markus were in their usual positions - Chase as striker, Markus as goalie - and ready to play. The Crystal Bay Varsity team blazed victoriously though the first three matches, and were getting ready for their fourth. Soon, the day came, when Crystal Bay was to meet its sports rival in battle - Humilou High School. Chase ran out onto the field, ready for action. About ten minutes into the game, Chase took a header, and bonked his head. Hard. It took a white for him to get up, and stumble over to his coach. Chase acted a little dazed, but claimed to be feeling well after drinking some water. He begged his coach to go back in, and eventually the coach agreed. He was a little disoriented at first, but eventually was able to get back into his groove, even scoring a shot. Then it happened. As Chase was dribbling the ball towards the net, a defender came and tackled the ball from him, pushing him to the ground. Chase was unable to put his arms out to stop his fall and -- bam. He hit the ground head-first, and he was out.
When Chase woke up, he was in his bed. The lights were off, and his head felt as if it were about to split open. On his chest sat a Tepig. He blinked his eyes, trying to identify the creature, but the gears wouldn't turn, and he ended up with a worse headache. His mother entered the room, and kneeled down next the bed. She told him he had suffered a concussion, and wouldn't be able to go to school for a week, or participate in the next soccer game. Chase could help but cry. It didn't help that Crystal Bay had lost against Humilou. Chase asked his mother about the small creature on his chest. His mother smiled, telling him what it was, and that it was his, a gift from Markus. The Tepig was named Lavana, after the lava that flowed under Reversal Mountain, separating the two boys.
That week was possibly the longest week of Chase's life. But, with clearance from a doctor, Chase was ready to go back to school. Although he functioned normally, his math grades dropped worse than ever. With the help of Markus, however, he was able to pull off a passing grade, and advanced to his junior year. Markus and Chase were excited -- although Varsity soccer had lost to Humilau last year, this year they were sure to win. And of course, later in the year, they did. It was close, but Markus blocked enough shots and Chase made enough. This year was also the year Markus (who had obtained a Snivy) and Chase took courses for pokemon breeding. At the end of the year, they were both given their Pokemon Breeder license. The two played on varsity again as seniors, but turned down a soccer scholarship, in order to go on a pokemon journey.
Markus and Chase were all ready to set off, when the incident in Johto happened. The call was sent out. Kanto and Johto had both been taken over by hostile forces, and a resistance group was forming in Orre - one trainer, one breeder, and one coordinator was asked to travel to Orre to give his or her service. After serious contemplation, Chase decided to volunteer as a breeder from Unova. When Markus heard the news, he immediately drove over the mountain to Chase's house. There, he gave Chase a second pokemon - a yamask, named Nathan. After a tearful goodbye between the two, Chase set off for Orre...
Weapons and Equipment:
- A black messenger bag
- A semi-automatic pistol (with a couple spare cartridges)
- A black pokegear (mostly to contact Markus, but can be used for other purposes)
- Pokemon medicines, herbal ingredients, and a small book on how to make medicines.
- Bandaids and ibuprofen
- Extra pokeballs
- His wallet, carrying his credit card, driver's license, breeder's license, razors (no facial hair), and two pictures -- one of him and Markus, and the other of him and Chrisa
Anything Else?:
- CHASE. HATES. FACIAL HAIR. 'Nuff said. (He has no reason for it, he just hates it.)
- Chase also tends to handle the cold not-so-well, mostly because he grew up in an arid area.
- This has probably been inferred/mentioned before, Chase is athletic, and, if needs be, can defend himself.
- Although chase does play basketball, it wasn't really mentioned in his history due to the fact that he isn't on a team, it's just kind of a community thing.
- Chase is LDS.
Pokemon
Starter: Tepig (female)
Nickname: Lavana
Short Bio: Chase received Lavana from Markus, after Markus had received his Snivy from his mother. Markus's family is a bunch of pokemon breeders, and he felt it was only natural that when he got a pokemon, so should Chase.
Lavana is very quiet. This isn't to say she's scared, or anti-social, she's just quiet. She also likes to sleep. Lavana is very calm, and Chase's sudden outbursts can startle her, but she does truly care for Chase. She still sleeps on Chase's chest at night.
Secondary: Yamask (male)
Nickname: Nathan
Short Bio: Nathan was also a gift from Markus, when the two were separated at Chase's departure.
Nathan is brash, loud, and loves to be right. Oftentimes, his loudness gets him into trouble. He's a little excitable during battle, but that doesn't exactly stop him from battling anyway. Nathan can be a bit twitchy. Although he can act mean, he does want to be friends with people. Honestly.

I took a deep breath. Head? Okay. Nothing feels broken, I can still move... 'mkay. Let's see here. Another deep breath. I think My forehead's bleeding, and probably my lip. But I'm relatively okay.
It's quiet. Too quiet. "Ch-chrisa?" No answer. At least I know my vocal chords still work, I'm taking in air. I look over at her. Is she sleeping? I think I saw her hit her head. "Chrisa, can you hear me?"
...
No.

This can't be right. "Chrisa!?" My heart is racing. No. No, d*mmit, no! "Chrisa!!" I can't reach her. I can't shake her. I can't wake her. Reach. Reach. I can... I'm pulling my legs from the well. I can crawl. I can do that. It hurts. Everything hurts. I... I can reach her.
No.
She's cold.
I grab her cell phone. That's in reach. 0-1-1. Unova Emergency System. Yeah.
"Hello?"
Someone answered! "Y-yes, hello. Um, my car- her car- we just went off a cliff, just off I-17, Reversal Mountain. I... I'm okay, I think, but m-my sister won't wake up. I need help."
"Okay. We'll be there soon. I-17, Reversal Mountain?"
"Yes. Traveling east from Lentimas Town, look for the broken barriers."
"We'll be there soon."
click. They won't be here soon enough. She's sleeping, I can't wake her. I need to get out. I need to get out of this car. I crawl towards the door, I can make out the handle, so I try opening the door. Ow. It took effort, but I did it.
So, I crawl out. OW. I can't stand. I'm dizzy. It's not broken, it just hurts.

There. Sirens. They're coming. Please. Wake her for me. Wake her up.

Soon, the day came, when Crystal Bay was to meet its sports rival in battle - Humilou High School. Chase ran out onto the field, ready for action. About ten minutes into the game, Chase took a header, and bonked his head. Hard. It took a white for him to get up, and stumble over to his coach. Chase acted a little dazed, but claimed to be feeling well after drinking some water. He begged his coach to go back in, and eventually the coach agreed. He was a little disoriented at first, but eventually was able to get back into his groove, even scoring a shot. Then it happened. As Chase was dribbling the ball towards the net, a defender came and tackled the ball from him, pushing him to the ground. Chase was unable to put his arms out to stop his fall and -- bam. He hit the ground head-first, and he was out.
When Chase woke up, he was in his bed. The lights were off, and his head felt as if it were about to split open. On his chest sat a Tepig. He blinked his eyes, trying to identify the creature, but the gears wouldn't turn, and he ended up with a worse headache. His mother entered the room, and kneeled down next the bed. She told him he had suffered a concussion, and wouldn't be able to go to school for a week, or participate in the next soccer game. Chase could help but cry. It didn't help that Crystal Bay had lost against Humilou. Chase asked his mother about the small creature on his chest. His mother smiled, telling him what it was, and that it was his, a gift from Markus. The Tepig was named Lavana, after the lava that flowed under Reversal Mountain, separating the two boys.
That week was possibly the longest week of Chase's life. But, with clearance from a doctor, Chase was ready to go back to school. Although he functioned normally, his math grades dropped worse than ever. With the help of Markus, however, he was able to pull off a passing grade, and advanced to his junior year. Markus and Chase were excited -- although Varsity soccer had lost to Humilau last year, this year they were sure to win. And of course, later in the year, they did. It was close, but Markus blocked enough shots and Chase made enough. This year was also the year Markus (who had obtained a Snivy) and Chase took courses for pokemon breeding. At the end of the year, they were both given their Pokemon Breeder license. The two played on varsity again as seniors, but turned down a soccer scholarship, in order to go on a pokemon journey.
Markus and Chase were all ready to set off, when the incident in Johto happened. The call was sent out. Kanto and Johto had both been taken over by hostile forces, and a resistance group was forming in Orre - one trainer, one breeder, and one coordinator was asked to travel to Orre to give his or her service. After serious contemplation, Chase decided to volunteer as a breeder from Unova. When Markus heard the news, he immediately drove over the mountain to Chase's house. There, he gave Chase a second pokemon - a yamask, named Nathan. After a tearful goodbye between the two, Chase set off for Orre...
Weapons and Equipment:
- A black messenger bag
- A semi-automatic pistol (with a couple spare cartridges)
- A black pokegear (mostly to contact Markus, but can be used for other purposes)
- Pokemon medicines, herbal ingredients, and a small book on how to make medicines.
- Bandaids and ibuprofen
- Extra pokeballs
- His wallet, carrying his credit card, driver's license, breeder's license, razors (no facial hair), and two pictures -- one of him and Markus, and the other of him and Chrisa
Anything Else?:
- CHASE. HATES. FACIAL HAIR. 'Nuff said. (He has no reason for it, he just hates it.)
- Chase also tends to handle the cold not-so-well, mostly because he grew up in an arid area.
- This has probably been inferred/mentioned before, Chase is athletic, and, if needs be, can defend himself.
- Although chase does play basketball, it wasn't really mentioned in his history due to the fact that he isn't on a team, it's just kind of a community thing.
- Chase is LDS.
Pokemon
Starter: Tepig (female)
Nickname: Lavana
Short Bio: Chase received Lavana from Markus, after Markus had received his Snivy from his mother. Markus's family is a bunch of pokemon breeders, and he felt it was only natural that when he got a pokemon, so should Chase.
Lavana is very quiet. This isn't to say she's scared, or anti-social, she's just quiet. She also likes to sleep. Lavana is very calm, and Chase's sudden outbursts can startle her, but she does truly care for Chase. She still sleeps on Chase's chest at night.
Secondary: Yamask (male)
Nickname: Nathan
Short Bio: Nathan was also a gift from Markus, when the two were separated at Chase's departure.
Nathan is brash, loud, and loves to be right. Oftentimes, his loudness gets him into trouble. He's a little excitable during battle, but that doesn't exactly stop him from battling anyway. Nathan can be a bit twitchy. Although he can act mean, he does want to be friends with people. Honestly.

@Primal; I like him too! I believe him and Suzy may actually get along. You're accepted.
Ayy my baby is done, him and Suzy are probably two of my favourite characters that I've created.
Name: Daniel "Danny" Ettenberg
Codename: The Manic
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Birthplace: Fuchsia City, Kanto.
Trainer Class: Breeder
Appearance:
Danny is about 6'2" and could probably be described as lanky, as he is rather tall and quite thin. He's probably only about one hundred and thirty pounds. He could probably be though of as somewhat attractive to girls, especially due to defined face and wild hair. Danny likes the spike his hair forwards, somewhat like the tenth doctor from doctor who, whom is probably one of Danny's favourite characters. His hair is chocolate brown with a caramel yellow streak in the front of it. He has large brown eyes with are accented by his beard, although it isn't exactly a beard and more like stubble he's very proud of it. As stated before, his body type is very lean and skinny. He honestly has no muscle to his body and is pretty much just a walking broomstick. His ivory skin is coated with various tattoos, he has one portraying tribal symbols on his chest, and he has one that looks like an anchor on his right arm. He also has a tattoo of a flock of birds flying on his upper left thigh. All of these are in various shades of brown, although the one of the birds is his favourite, showing a variant in tones between caramel yellow to dark chocolate brown.
For clothing, Danny certainly dresses to impress. He wears various layers that usually make him look rather fancy and extravagant. Although, sometimes during periods of stress he will take off some of his layers revealing his creamy skin from beneath it. First off, Dan wears a sweater that clings to his skin and shows how skinny he truly is. It's black in colour and comes complete with a golden belt. Over this, Danny wears a milky brown vest, it's decorated in other shades of brown with a gold portion above the torso. Along with these he wears dark brown dress pants that accent his skinny 'gazelle legs' (as Suzy puts it.). To finis his outfit he wears old fashioned brown and cream dress shoes with a slight heel to make him appear taller, which he certainly doesn't need. He also carries around his grandfathers golden pocketwatch. Which is attached delicately to his cream coloured long-coat.
For weapons, Danny is a practical man. Danny carries around a small pistol, but, he hardly has ammo. Honestly he only carries around 25 bullets with him, which probably won't really help him. Although when worse comes to worse he has his fists which can be accented be a pair of brass knuckles he keeps in his coat pocket.
Personality: Danny has a very "light" personality. He enjoys making people happy and making people laugh at his jokes, however occasionally his jokes get somewhat offensive, but he will always apologize no matter what happens. He's a huge flirt, knowing himself to be attractive he puts on a very 'ladies man' sort of look to pick up all the ladies he can. His newest, conquest, if you will, is Suzy. But she certainly doesn't buy into his nonsense. Dan is honestly a funny guy and often attempts to put his jokes to good use by using them to lighten up a situation and try to make people smile when they're sad. He also likes to attempt to cheer people up about things they're uncomfortable with, for him he's very uncomfortably with his thumbs because they're somewhat large and oddly shaped. But he'll often attempt to cheer Suzy up about her arm by commenting on how pretty she is, although she always thinks he's just lying or being nice, as she does with most people.
Dan has a very nice singing voice, often throwing in lyrical nonsense into most situations, especially when he's bored or slightly scared. He also has a collection of 'danisms', which can all be noted if you spend enough time with him. Danny is the typical laid back sort of rocker or party dude. He'll probably refer to you as 'dude' and he'll most likely throw in a few 'totallys' in everyday speech which can be easily pointed out. Danny's favourite show is Doctor Who, and he tends to pay a lot of homage to David Tennant. However, only slightly in his actions. His favourite band is Pearl Jam, which he can often be heard humming while he walks or sometimes even singing if he's in the proper mood.
Due to dealing with depression, Dan is very sympathetic to people who have difficult lives. He knows what they need and always tries to give them words of encouragement to help them through their day. He's honestly one of the most happy and go-lucky people you can ever meet, and probably one of the biggest dorks as well.
History: Daniel was born to a little family of two, being the first born he was treated very well. His parents wanted to send him to school to learn enough to help him towards his future goal, which they hoped would be a Professor. However, they weren't exactly well off and didn't know if they'd be able to, especially since when Daniel was four, his younger sister was born. Although this didn't affect Daniel too heavily, although his parents attention shifted from him to his baby sister. Daniel was very distraught by this, especially in his four year old mental state. He wanted to be number one again, but he also cared very deeply for the small child that had joined their family. When Daniel was five, his parents began sending him to school to become a trainer. They hoped that when he was older he would become a professor although he wasn't exactly the model student.
Daniel was somewhat of a trouble maker, and often had his heads in the clouds while he was at school, not considering it to be a huge deal. Things went on with him usually just scraping by until he was around fifteen. At the age of fifteen his parents gifted him with a laptop, being rather excited for this prospect, he immediately began to attempt to do better in school in order to keep his hands on the glorious gift that his parents had given him. Around this age he also made a skype account, which was how he met a certain girl. This girl was usually always on his mind, he always rushed to talk to her when he came home from school.
Her name was Suzy.
Suzy often talked about how she had been learning about the arts of a breeder while living with this old breeder couple, Daniel was fascinated by this, but he also honestly just wanted to get on the girl's good side. Daniel somehow talked his parents into allowing him to switch his courses into the breeding courses. Although Daniel enjoyed the courses a lot more, he honestly made the swap to be able to talk more with Suzy. He had never met Suzy, he hadn't even the faintest idea of what she looked like. He just knew that she lived in Johto and in his mind, she was beautiful. And that was all that mattered.
When he was newly seventeen, Suzy had messaged him talking about a lot of stuff. She rambled on and on, listing off some stuff she had heard. He comforted her in that they were just rumors, but she seemed convinced. After that, he didn't hear much from Suzy. After awhile of not seeing her log in, he began getting very anxious. Especially once he heard the news of Johto's takeover. He became very worried, he was even more worried about Suzy when the people, known as Team Rapture began to file into Kanto as well. His worrying came to an end one day when he saw a familiar name appear on his computer monitor. It was Suzy.
Suzy kept the conversation brief and to the point, none of her usual light filtered through as she told him of her plight. She explained that she had gone to Orre to start a rebellion, and him, being one of her only friends was one of the first people she wanted on board. He agreed rather quickly and made up a fake permission form so his parents would allow him to take a boat to Orre on a 'class trip'.
Weapons and Equipment:
- A Small Pocket Pistol
- 25 bullets
- A set of brass knuckles
- A golden pocketwatch
Anything Else?:
- VERY close with Suzy (She's often mistaken for his girlfriend)
- Flirts with Suzy every chance he gets
- Usually calls Suzy 'Suz'
Starter: Squirtle (Male)
Nickname: Krondor
Short Bio: Krondor was given to Dan on the day he started school by his father, it was gifted to him by the professor of their region. Whom had found a curious egg and wanted a trainer to carry it to see what it hatched into. It hatched into a delightful small blue turtle whom Danny named Krondor. Krondor and Danny are almost like brothers and Kronder will often attempt to mimic Dan's personality in a sense. If Danny is upset the small turtle will also be considerably upset, usually with no reason behind it. But usually the Squirtle is quite bashful and outgoing, much like Dan.
Secondary: Porygon (Portrayed as Female)
Nickname: Jacques
Short Bio: Although Jacques is genderless, it tends to acts more feminine, which somewhat makes Danny regret his choice of naming. However, she certainly doesn't seem to mind. Jacques is very loving and often nudges Danny playfully and enjoys roaming with him outside of her Pokeball. She loves floating around Danny's feet and making him watch his step. Jacques was a Pokemon Danny was given during his days in the advanced trainer programs, considered an odd Pokemon who needed to be studied. Although Dan dropped out of the program, he two had become too close to be separated.

Name: Elizabeth Katherine Grey
Codename: Duchess
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Olivine City
Appearance: Everything about Elizabeth's appearance suggests an air of sophistication. Her volumous, well-groomed strawberry blonde hair is trimmed just so that it sweeps over her left eyebrow and curls inwards about her shoulders, framing her face quite nicely. Discerning brown eyes and rosy cheeks, almost always accented by subtle makeup, give her a dignified appearance. While she is well-fed to a slightly above average weight with a slight tummy and an unimpressive height and bust, her rigorous posture accentuates these features, anyway, giving her a strong appearance while she maintains diligence (which she does a majority of the time). Rounding this out with shapely legs and narrow hips, her only immediately-apparent feature that doesn't befit a ladylike appearance is her neck, somewhat thicker than average with a highly visible Adam's apple, which she takes care to hide behind scarves and ascots at all times.
Elizabeth's fashion sense, simple but chic, revolves around single-color ensembles. As an example, her outfit upon departing in Orre is based around a pale blue dress with a cobalt silk sash about the waist. Complemented by a denim jacket, white ascot, periwinkle socks cuffed about the ankle, and black loafers, it provides her room to breathe despite being a bit heavy on the top. Most of her equipment is carried in a black shoulder-bag with a white flap. She is also wearing large, thick-rimmed sunglasses due to the region's environment and a thin watch with a silver face on the inside of her wrist. Most of her supplies are packed in a pink rolling suitcase, generally abandoned at a hotel at her earliest convenience.
Personality: As a direct result of her upbringing, Elizabeth's first and foremost priority is to present herself as ladylike as possible, with all its positive and negative implications. On one hand, her emphasis on propriety and objectivity gives way to a very left-brained manner of thought, breaking down major decisions into composite advantages and disadvantages and and approaching problems with a level-headed reason. For better or for worse, this bleeds through to interactions with other people, making her a habitual liar when it benefits her and quick to judge others based on their immediate merit. Her measured responses make her a bit slow to act in time-critical situations, as well, though she excels at planning and strategy. Small talk in general tends to travel at a crawl with her as a result, while she has a fluid riposte when discussing pointed topics. Not that Elizabeth has had much experience of late speaking with other teenagers, anyway - her manner of speech is markedly formal and more attuned to business conversation. She likes to play off this air of maturity in the best way she can, relegating herself to a motherly role amongst those her own age and offering friendly advice as she sees it, whether correct or not, aided by Will's insights.
Weighing costs and benefits of certain things makes Elizabeth quite the creature of habit, convinced that her personal preferences are optimal. To wit, nearly every pair of shoes she owns are of the exact same brand, she sleeps precisely from 11:30 at night to 7:15 each morning, and wears her hair nearly exactly the same way every day, among other behaviors apparently set in stone. Being so hard-set in these aspects of her life can bring her discomfort at times, such as that suffered from valuing fashion over function in her clothing and having fairly narrow experience stemming from a lack of variety, but Elizabeth remains convinced that the benefits outweigh the risks in sticking to the familiar. Anxiety at the unfamiliar makes her slow to befriend others, making almost every unfamiliar personality akin to a not-yet-acquired taste for her, and her expectations of men in particular border on downright picky, expecting no less from a relationship than a man of complete courtesy, impressive talent, and fine visage. This lack of experience, as one might expect, makes her equally ill-suited to dangerous situations, relying almost exclusively on her Pokémon for protection.
But if Elizabeth should be credited for one sin, it is her vanity. Everything from her lineage to her being left-handed (only 3% of the population are, mind you) is a matter of pride for her. Pinning herself as a proper specimen of ladyship, she places disproportionate value on how he is perceived by others, keeping herself calm remarkably well and presenting herself with care. Placing so much focus on her forward appearance, Elizabeth (she insists, by the way, on the formal-sounding "Elizabeth" and will not settle for being addressed as "Lizzie" or "Beth" or "Eliza" or any other variation, thank you) is quite snippy in her response to criticism and fusses almost excessively over herself in mirrors. Particularly, she makes it a point to wear some sort of scarf, ascot, high-collared shirt, or the like each day to hide her very un-ladylike neck, feeling almost naked without it; likewise, she endeavors to maintain modesty as a whole, uncomfortable with the notion of such things as swimming-suits and public showers.
History: Elizabeth Katherine Grey was born as the third heir to Sir Gregory Grey and his wife, Rebecca, of whom her father is a fifth-generation direct descendant of Earl Charles Grey. What this means to those of us uninterested in listening on about long lineages is that at some point in the past, somebody related to Elizabeth happened upon a particularly pleasant way of brewing tea. Being a businessman, he sprang upon this as a business idea and founded one of the largest tea companies in the market. Because of this, Elizabeth grew up in a household of plentiful means, within a block of the Olivine City shore. The diverse population in the town, from sailors to world-travellers and businessmen, as well as the huge variety of tourists passing through, exposed her to all manner of people, almost none of which had the manner displayed amongst her parents and their guests. Even as early as grade school, Elizabeth was developing a subtle sense of classism that lead her to behave more than a bit pompous about her classmates.
Not that Elizabeth was quite at the pinnacle of class, anyway. As the youngest of three siblings, her sister Annalise and brother Edmund are respectively the primary and secondary candidates to inherit the family business. It was likely from the beginning that Elizabeth would recede into becoming a tertiary member of the Grey family proper, though she nonetheless was brought up in the exact same way as her other siblings, having etiquette and the value of being "ladylike" repeatedly enforced upon her throughout her childhood.
As she was relatively distanced from the other students in her school, it wasn't so strong of a blow to either her or her fellow classmates when Elizabeth began to miss classes with increasing frequency just after her tenth birthday. Her cardiac system being underdeveloped to begin with, puberty only exacerbated the issue to the point where Elizabeth could hardly function in the hot, humid conditions during Olivine's summers. For this reason, she was moved to the Resort Area off the coast of Sinnoh when she was twelve, to live with her retired grandparents near a hospital specializing in cardiology. With plenty of rest and medical attention, her condition gradually improved over the course of the next several years.
While she was not allowed to live away from her designated hospital during the years of her recovery, living with her grandparents was an altogether relaxing experience, mostly due to the proximity of one Thomas Harrison. While he was admittedly made to visit Elizabeth by her parents as a gesture of formality, Tom eventually began to visit under his own volition. She gradually became charmed by him, albeit Thomas was shipped away to a legal school in Kalos just a few months before Elizabeth herself was sent back to live with her parents in Olivine City in order to promote her recovery via exposure. Now as good as a foreigner to her classmates, Elizabeth removed herself from her classmates almost entirely during her remaining year of school, hardly more aware of the spreading malcontent in the region at that. Her main form of socializing manifested as formal events with her family, and even those were fairly stiff conversations outside of a few shared with people her own age. Elizabeth has kept in frequent contact with Thomas, as well, keeping her at least somewhat adept at navigating casual relationships.
As her studies came to a close, rather than go to college to learn management, Elizabeth decided that it would be much more prudent to travel the Johto region (as people her age tended to do) and participate in Pokémon Contests. Using this as a vector, she initially intended to fraternize with aristocrats from other areas, looking for a way to make her mark either in the Contest circuit or through association. After two quick bus runs, to New Bark and then to Ecruteak, Elizabeth had already picked up Misty and Will and entered the next possible contest at Ecruteak's old theater. Though her grasp of Contest theory was remarkably solid, the results of her first contests were lukewarm at best (albeit, at least, not completely disastrous), and she gained minimal ground with the attendees of the reception. A complete bust for her, though she managed to hear through the grapevine about a call to arms in Orre. Figuring that this offer would offer her a great deal of standing should it succeed, and that her background and knack for clinical thought would make her a leader amongst the dozens likely to show up to a call spread amongst so many trainers, she decided to at least scope out what potential and traction this group had amassed, and if it should benefit her to be part of it.
Weapons and Equipment:
- One small, semi-automatic pistol
- Deep pockets (not limitless, by any means, but ample for ordinary expenses)
- Spare Luxury and Ultra Balls
- One new-model Pokégear, silver
Anything Else?: Though she has recovered significantly in the last few years, Elizabeth is still subject to infrequent fainting spells, usually brought on by hot, humid conditions.
Pokémon
Starter: Totodile
Nickname: Misty
Short Bio: Misty (named as such because Elizabeth is relatively uncreative, choosing to name her Pokémon after established trainers), given by Professor Elm as a starting Pokémon, is highly aggressive by the nature of her species, a trait that Elizabeth has not bothered to rein in, as she quite enjoys the idea of an "guard" Pokémon at her heels. For her own part, Misty is relatively simple in her behaviors, mainly staying to her Pokéball, eating, or staying at Elizabeth's side like a sentry. While very well-trained, she freezes up at a loss without direct orders from Elizabeth. Misty nearly always has some variety of scarf or ribbon tied about her neck to match her trainer's.
Secondary: Natu
Nickname: Will
Short Bio: William, or Will (again, named for an established trainer due to a lack of creativity) was caught in a grove on the outskirts of Ecruteak City soon after the start of her journey. Now securely in a trainer's care, he spends most of his time either asleep or meditating. By staying well-rested and focused, during his waking hours Will has a heightened awareness, both with his physical senses and with his psychic sense. Elizabeth has worked out recently how to communicate with him telepathically, and as a result he can give her basic impressions of the thoughts of humans and Pokémon nearby while out of his Pokéball, granted this skill is not yet perfect. Will nearly always has a ribbon tied about one of his ankles to match whatever color Elizabeth is wearing that day.
Codename: Duchess
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Birthplace: Olivine City
Appearance: Everything about Elizabeth's appearance suggests an air of sophistication. Her volumous, well-groomed strawberry blonde hair is trimmed just so that it sweeps over her left eyebrow and curls inwards about her shoulders, framing her face quite nicely. Discerning brown eyes and rosy cheeks, almost always accented by subtle makeup, give her a dignified appearance. While she is well-fed to a slightly above average weight with a slight tummy and an unimpressive height and bust, her rigorous posture accentuates these features, anyway, giving her a strong appearance while she maintains diligence (which she does a majority of the time). Rounding this out with shapely legs and narrow hips, her only immediately-apparent feature that doesn't befit a ladylike appearance is her neck, somewhat thicker than average with a highly visible Adam's apple, which she takes care to hide behind scarves and ascots at all times.
Elizabeth's fashion sense, simple but chic, revolves around single-color ensembles. As an example, her outfit upon departing in Orre is based around a pale blue dress with a cobalt silk sash about the waist. Complemented by a denim jacket, white ascot, periwinkle socks cuffed about the ankle, and black loafers, it provides her room to breathe despite being a bit heavy on the top. Most of her equipment is carried in a black shoulder-bag with a white flap. She is also wearing large, thick-rimmed sunglasses due to the region's environment and a thin watch with a silver face on the inside of her wrist. Most of her supplies are packed in a pink rolling suitcase, generally abandoned at a hotel at her earliest convenience.
Personality: As a direct result of her upbringing, Elizabeth's first and foremost priority is to present herself as ladylike as possible, with all its positive and negative implications. On one hand, her emphasis on propriety and objectivity gives way to a very left-brained manner of thought, breaking down major decisions into composite advantages and disadvantages and and approaching problems with a level-headed reason. For better or for worse, this bleeds through to interactions with other people, making her a habitual liar when it benefits her and quick to judge others based on their immediate merit. Her measured responses make her a bit slow to act in time-critical situations, as well, though she excels at planning and strategy. Small talk in general tends to travel at a crawl with her as a result, while she has a fluid riposte when discussing pointed topics. Not that Elizabeth has had much experience of late speaking with other teenagers, anyway - her manner of speech is markedly formal and more attuned to business conversation. She likes to play off this air of maturity in the best way she can, relegating herself to a motherly role amongst those her own age and offering friendly advice as she sees it, whether correct or not, aided by Will's insights.
Weighing costs and benefits of certain things makes Elizabeth quite the creature of habit, convinced that her personal preferences are optimal. To wit, nearly every pair of shoes she owns are of the exact same brand, she sleeps precisely from 11:30 at night to 7:15 each morning, and wears her hair nearly exactly the same way every day, among other behaviors apparently set in stone. Being so hard-set in these aspects of her life can bring her discomfort at times, such as that suffered from valuing fashion over function in her clothing and having fairly narrow experience stemming from a lack of variety, but Elizabeth remains convinced that the benefits outweigh the risks in sticking to the familiar. Anxiety at the unfamiliar makes her slow to befriend others, making almost every unfamiliar personality akin to a not-yet-acquired taste for her, and her expectations of men in particular border on downright picky, expecting no less from a relationship than a man of complete courtesy, impressive talent, and fine visage. This lack of experience, as one might expect, makes her equally ill-suited to dangerous situations, relying almost exclusively on her Pokémon for protection.
But if Elizabeth should be credited for one sin, it is her vanity. Everything from her lineage to her being left-handed (only 3% of the population are, mind you) is a matter of pride for her. Pinning herself as a proper specimen of ladyship, she places disproportionate value on how he is perceived by others, keeping herself calm remarkably well and presenting herself with care. Placing so much focus on her forward appearance, Elizabeth (she insists, by the way, on the formal-sounding "Elizabeth" and will not settle for being addressed as "Lizzie" or "Beth" or "Eliza" or any other variation, thank you) is quite snippy in her response to criticism and fusses almost excessively over herself in mirrors. Particularly, she makes it a point to wear some sort of scarf, ascot, high-collared shirt, or the like each day to hide her very un-ladylike neck, feeling almost naked without it; likewise, she endeavors to maintain modesty as a whole, uncomfortable with the notion of such things as swimming-suits and public showers.
History: Elizabeth Katherine Grey was born as the third heir to Sir Gregory Grey and his wife, Rebecca, of whom her father is a fifth-generation direct descendant of Earl Charles Grey. What this means to those of us uninterested in listening on about long lineages is that at some point in the past, somebody related to Elizabeth happened upon a particularly pleasant way of brewing tea. Being a businessman, he sprang upon this as a business idea and founded one of the largest tea companies in the market. Because of this, Elizabeth grew up in a household of plentiful means, within a block of the Olivine City shore. The diverse population in the town, from sailors to world-travellers and businessmen, as well as the huge variety of tourists passing through, exposed her to all manner of people, almost none of which had the manner displayed amongst her parents and their guests. Even as early as grade school, Elizabeth was developing a subtle sense of classism that lead her to behave more than a bit pompous about her classmates.
Not that Elizabeth was quite at the pinnacle of class, anyway. As the youngest of three siblings, her sister Annalise and brother Edmund are respectively the primary and secondary candidates to inherit the family business. It was likely from the beginning that Elizabeth would recede into becoming a tertiary member of the Grey family proper, though she nonetheless was brought up in the exact same way as her other siblings, having etiquette and the value of being "ladylike" repeatedly enforced upon her throughout her childhood.
As she was relatively distanced from the other students in her school, it wasn't so strong of a blow to either her or her fellow classmates when Elizabeth began to miss classes with increasing frequency just after her tenth birthday. Her cardiac system being underdeveloped to begin with, puberty only exacerbated the issue to the point where Elizabeth could hardly function in the hot, humid conditions during Olivine's summers. For this reason, she was moved to the Resort Area off the coast of Sinnoh when she was twelve, to live with her retired grandparents near a hospital specializing in cardiology. With plenty of rest and medical attention, her condition gradually improved over the course of the next several years.
While she was not allowed to live away from her designated hospital during the years of her recovery, living with her grandparents was an altogether relaxing experience, mostly due to the proximity of one Thomas Harrison. While he was admittedly made to visit Elizabeth by her parents as a gesture of formality, Tom eventually began to visit under his own volition. She gradually became charmed by him, albeit Thomas was shipped away to a legal school in Kalos just a few months before Elizabeth herself was sent back to live with her parents in Olivine City in order to promote her recovery via exposure. Now as good as a foreigner to her classmates, Elizabeth removed herself from her classmates almost entirely during her remaining year of school, hardly more aware of the spreading malcontent in the region at that. Her main form of socializing manifested as formal events with her family, and even those were fairly stiff conversations outside of a few shared with people her own age. Elizabeth has kept in frequent contact with Thomas, as well, keeping her at least somewhat adept at navigating casual relationships.
As her studies came to a close, rather than go to college to learn management, Elizabeth decided that it would be much more prudent to travel the Johto region (as people her age tended to do) and participate in Pokémon Contests. Using this as a vector, she initially intended to fraternize with aristocrats from other areas, looking for a way to make her mark either in the Contest circuit or through association. After two quick bus runs, to New Bark and then to Ecruteak, Elizabeth had already picked up Misty and Will and entered the next possible contest at Ecruteak's old theater. Though her grasp of Contest theory was remarkably solid, the results of her first contests were lukewarm at best (albeit, at least, not completely disastrous), and she gained minimal ground with the attendees of the reception. A complete bust for her, though she managed to hear through the grapevine about a call to arms in Orre. Figuring that this offer would offer her a great deal of standing should it succeed, and that her background and knack for clinical thought would make her a leader amongst the dozens likely to show up to a call spread amongst so many trainers, she decided to at least scope out what potential and traction this group had amassed, and if it should benefit her to be part of it.
Weapons and Equipment:
- One small, semi-automatic pistol
- Deep pockets (not limitless, by any means, but ample for ordinary expenses)
- Spare Luxury and Ultra Balls
- One new-model Pokégear, silver
Anything Else?: Though she has recovered significantly in the last few years, Elizabeth is still subject to infrequent fainting spells, usually brought on by hot, humid conditions.
Pokémon
Starter: Totodile
Nickname: Misty
Short Bio: Misty (named as such because Elizabeth is relatively uncreative, choosing to name her Pokémon after established trainers), given by Professor Elm as a starting Pokémon, is highly aggressive by the nature of her species, a trait that Elizabeth has not bothered to rein in, as she quite enjoys the idea of an "guard" Pokémon at her heels. For her own part, Misty is relatively simple in her behaviors, mainly staying to her Pokéball, eating, or staying at Elizabeth's side like a sentry. While very well-trained, she freezes up at a loss without direct orders from Elizabeth. Misty nearly always has some variety of scarf or ribbon tied about her neck to match her trainer's.
Secondary: Natu
Nickname: Will

I am perfectly okay with that.
I usually don't like this type of character but I have to admit Elizabeth has worked her way into my heart a little, something tells me her an Daniel might get along very well. You're accepted.
I'm cool with that, fiddle with it until you like it.
