Welcome to the region of Risin! Risin is a region nestled between the regions of Sinnoh and Almia. I hope you enjoy the time that you spend here!
This is where you will post your character, and wait for it to be approved by a WPL. Once you are approved, you can technically start in any thread, unless otherwise noted in said thread. It would be recommended that all new characters go find a professor at a lab, to receive a Pokedex, Pokeballs, and information.
Please provide the following information about your character:
Character Creation Template
Name: First and last name unless your back story explains why you do not have one or the other.
Age: In order to legally train and own Pokemon you must be at least 10 years of age.
Gender:
Height/Weight:
Place of Origin: This is where your character grew up. It can be anywhere in the Pokemon World.
Family: Briefly describe the people related to your character.
General Appearance: What your character looks like. This is the Pokemon World, so crazy hair colors (Blue, Pink, Green, Bright Red, Purple, etc.) are normal.
Backstory:
Goal: This is what your character sees as their main objective. For example, it could be to win the Pokemon Trainer League Championships, catch a specific rare Pokemon, be a good Pokemon doctor, destroy all civilization, etc...
Starting Pokemon:
The following Pokemon are not available as starters:
No Legendaries
No Evolved Forms (Unless they are evolved from babies, like Pikachu)
No Fossil Pokemon
Everything else is available as a starter. If you choose to do so, you may have a professor give you a starter Pokemon instead. This option is available for players that want some element of randomness to their character's story progression. If you receive your Pokemon from a professor, you will get to choose one Pokemon from a set of three. One of the advantages of getting a Pokemon from the professor is that those Pokemon will have one extra "egg" move that would not be available to you at the start of the game otherwise.
After registering, your character will receive 5000 P (Pokedollars) in your inventory. If there is anything specific you would like to add to your inventory that is essential to your character, please make sure it is cleared with a WPL.
Family: Nico is an only child. Her father and mother, both breeders, have raised many different types of pokemon. When they set up the ranch, the decided to specialize in Ponyta and Rapidash. They also established the ranch as an environmentally-friendly establishment, with solar/wind generators, recycling, and other measures.
Being a fire-oriented ranch near Lavaridge, Flannery was fond of visiting. This led Nico to admire her as an older sister, and the two would talk about anything and everything when time allowed.
General Appearance: Nico has never been one to conform to 'popular fashion'. She wears loose fitting, well-worn jeans, a long-sleeved white shirt underneath a bright orange T-shirt. Natural red hair down a little past her shoulders - a combination of wavy ringlets and curls - frames an attractive face with bold green eyes and a small spattering of freckles across her cheekbones. Often sporting an infectious grin when she meets someone, she can be anywhere from openly chatty to withdrawn depending on circumstances. A slight tan on her skin, and sunglasses never far from her face, she's used to being outside for periods of time. And, being an aspiring photographer, is never without her camera and equipment.
She's also known to change her outfit from time to time, for no other real reason than "because I can!"
Backstory: Growing up on a small Ponyta ranch had its benefits for Nico in her younger years. Many visitors would come for vacations, so Nico would 'babysit' all of the pokemon that came to the ranch as well. As she grew older, her family started letting her work with the Ponyta, and she soon fell in love with them. On her 16th birthday she decided she wanted to adventure around the country; a decision which her parents have fully supported since that day. As a special gift, she received an egg and was told that if she took care of it and raised the new pokemon well, they would let her adventure on her own. (Her parents had bred the egg from their own personal Ponytas, thinking what better way for families to watch out for each other than by having families travel together) It hatched into a baby Ponyta, and became her companion for the adventures that wait ahead.
Goal(s): One of Nico's lifelong dreams is to meet a Moltres, but her more realistic goals are to see the countryside, go on random adventures, collect interesting (in her opinion) pokemon, largely focusing on Fire-X types but not exclusively so.
Starting Pokemon: Ponyta (female) . . . . I'm going to take a wild guess for starting moves . . . Tackle and Growl?
As far as inventory goes, should I detail outfits now in case she decides to change on occasion? Also, will a somewhat basic digital camera and equipment setup be OK as well, or should that be purchased in-game?
Name: Cole Morewater Age: 23 Gender: male Height/Weight: 5'6'', 160lbs Place of Origin: Jubilife City, Sinno
General Appearance: A wlde build and his dark colors (hair, eyes and complection) makes Cole seem intimidating at times, but once he smiles, he can look quite friendly. Cole will always rather wear comfortable clothes over fashionable ones, but right now will probably be seen in uniforms mostly. His sole signiture item is a wide brim white hat, which he wears everywhere, as it was a gift.
Backstory: Cole is intelligent, but for many years he really didn't put any of that intelligence to work, working in whatever job comes his way. All that changed over the last summer. Cole was working on the S.S Anne as a sailor, when he witnessed a member of team rocket try and steal a pokemon from one of the passengers, an elderly woman who cried for his help. Cole chased down the criminal and stopped him, and managed to save the pokemon. The elderly lady was grateful enough to offer him one of her newly bred pokemon as a prize, a Drifloon. Over the rest of the ship's journey Cole and his Driftloon got to know each other, and by the end of it, Cole had made a decision. He wanted to know more about pokemon, and see more of them if possible, but most of all, he wanted to help people. One the next port, in Livian, Cole left the S.S Anne and signed up to the police academy.
Goal: Cole wants to be a detective, and be able to travel around Risin solving crimes and seeing pokemon.
Primary career: Police Officer Secondary career: Trainer (he's only really interested in catching and training pokemon, not really going after the league)
Starting Pokemon: Drifloon (male). Starting moves... I don't know Gust/Astonish and something else? Minimize?
The wide brim hat, being Cole's signiture article of clothing, should be in the starting inventory if that's ok with you.
OOC: You know, I've decided to go with my original idea, but with a few tweaks.
Name: Sam Winsborough Forgeman Age: 18 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 5' 6", 145 lbs Place of Origin: Goldenrod, Jhoto
Family: Only child. Mother and Father live in Goldenrod, mother works at the Game Corner, and father creates Poké Balls for the huge department store.
General Appearance: Longish red hair that is usually tied back in a ponytail, and covered by a red baseball cap with a poké ball symbol on it, keeping the brim turned to his left. He has green eyes, yellow t-shirt, and jeans. Keeps a heavier coat in his pack, which is gray with red trim.
Backstory: Sam's youth was full of excitement. His mother worked at the Goldenrod Game Corner, and his father spent his days crafting Poké Balls for the department store. As Sam got older, he saw more and more trainers going through the city on their way to greatness and fame, and he spent his time watching battles in Whitney's gym. While he has a drive to become a pokémon master, his real passion is to follow his father's steps, and help forge Poké Balls. His father gave him a young Cyndaquil, son of the Typhlosion who helps him out in the forge, and tickets to Risin, where they both hoped that he would thrive, meet other teenagers hoping to get ahead in the world, and find a place to spread the art of Poké Ball crafting.
Pokésmarts: Sam's knowledge of Pokémon is nearly microscopically detailed when it comes to most Pokémon of the Johto and Kanto regions, and merely microscopic beyond that.
Goal: To open up his own shop and create Poké Balls for the people of Risin. Maybe he will earn a few badges to earn the respect of the community.
Primary Career: Poké Ball Smith (e.g. Kurt) Secondary Career: Trainer
Name: Nevin Thundersky
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'6" / 130 lbs
Place of Origin: A house near the Hoenn Safari Zone, between it and Lilycove City.
Family:
Luther Thundersky, father.
Marina Thundersky, mother (deceased)
Sara Thundersky, older sister.
Damian Thundersky, older brother
General Appearance: Nevin has black hair in a short braid going partway down his back. He's a bit small for a guy, but his diminutive stature and apparent skinniness hide a strong body. He wears long-sleeved T-shirts, black jeans, and hiking boots most of the time. In cold weather, he sometimes wears a long black trenchcoat.
Primary Career: Pokemon Trainer
Secondary Career: Pokemon Breeder--he breeds only for himself, to get strong Pokemon to train.
Backstory:
Nevin is an unusual child, smarter than his parents and siblings. His parents helped take care of the Hoenn Safari Zone. His older siblings do much of the work their parents once did.
When Nevin was six, his mother became very ill, and doctors were unable to save her, even though they all thought they could. This affected Nevin deeply, and he still misses his mother, although he doesn't admit it even to himself.
As Nevin grew older, he began to deeply distrust other humans, partly because of the failure of the doctors he remembered so vividly, but also because he had already begun asking questions his father and siblings could not answer. These failures, combined with the general ineptitude of the people who explored the Safari Zone, convinced Nevin that other people were stupid and not worth his time. Therefore, he began studying Pokemon.
Living almost inside the Safari Zone, he was able to study many Pokemon and in great detail However, his mind was very quick, and though the Safari Zone may seem diverse to outsiders, it only contains thirty-eight species, and that includes evolved Pokemon. After about four years, Nevin knew essentially everything about all these Pokemon. He'd watched them forage and fight and mate and evolve, and he'd managed to extrapolate most of the data about Pokemon elements from them. Though he liked Pokemon--much more than he liked people--he eventually got bored.
Once Nevin got old enough, he began to sneak out to Lilycove City. He saw some other Pokemon when other trainers were walking with them, but since Lilycove has no gym and he unfortunately had no interest in Contests, he never saw them in action and never studied them in detail. Nevin did discover Lilycove's Port, though, and he began biding his time....
Nevin had learned of Pokemon Gyms, and he wanted to take the gym challenge. However, he didn't especially want to raise a Pokemon from the Safari Zone--he couldn't catch any of the really tough ones, and they bored him anyway--and he really didn't want to take the challenge in the Hoenn region because he thought all the people there were stupid. He began watching for other Pokemon that had gotten lost or been released, and he finally found a huge Trapinch whose massive jaws and digging skills made him respect it a bit. He managed to catch it, and shortly thereafter he stowed away on a boat bound for Livian Port. He did not say goodbye to his family--only his mother had been smart enough to earn his respect, and there was little love lost between him and his father and siblings.
Goal:
Nevin wants to keep working with Pokemon, but he's tired of watching wild ones. He wants to raise some and make them as strong as he can--stronger than anything he'd seen in Hoenn, strong enough that they can help him do whatever he wants--like take a piece of the world for himself, and reshape it as he sees fit. He's taking the gym challenge because he thinks of Gym Leaders and the Elite Four as the most powerful enforcers out there, and if he can beat the, he can do whatever he wants.
Secretly, on a level he doesn't admit and barely realizes, he's also looking for another person worthy of his respect. Pokemon are nice, but humans need other humans...not that he acknowledges this.
Pokemon
Trapinch (male, Arena Trap, Bite? Also, 1.5 times the size of a normal Trapinch, if I can do that. If it ever evolves all the way, I want Nevin to be able to fly on it without things being absurd >< )
Since I was never given an answer to the "Does Phione count as a legendary?" question, I am going to assume it does not. If it does, I will change my starting pokemon and edit my character to follow. However, now that I have based my character around it, I hope you can accept him.
Name: Alexander Syne
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5' 6''
Place of Origin: The deep blue sea/Forynn(I have named the world from WoP 1, because I don't think it was ever named)
Family:
Max Syne(59) is Alex's father. He is also a renowned Pokemon Ranger who is stationed on the seas. He is almost always traveling the world and keeping it safe. He rarely docks, and when he does it is at smaller islands, so he is very unfamiliar with life on any of the regions. Regardless, he is very devoted to his work
Julia Syne(55) is Alex's mother. Left alone in Forynn, she lives a very humble life. She lives on a ranch where she spends most of her time taking care of her sons' and husbands' pokemon. Since her husband does not need the majority of his income while living on the boat, she is rather wealthy, but she does not show it often.
James Syne(36) is Alex's brother, and the best pokemon trainer in all of Forynn. He is significantly older than his siblings, and always supports them. He is a stereotypical "pokemon master." A used to own a gym and he now is the regional champion. Although he has never met Alex, they have communicated many times and James is a constant source of support for Alex.
Michael Syne(20) is also Alex's brother. While James traveled Forynn, he lived with his mother. Once he finally became of age, he and his trusty Absol traveled Forynn in an attempt to best his brother. He is a gym leader in Forynn, constantly striving towards his goal.
Grace Syne (16) is Alex's sister. She still lives with her mother happily with her Buneary. Although she has thought about beginning her own adventures, like her brothers before her, she lives a happy life.
Backstory: Alexander Syne is the exception. He was born at one of the very few times his father has ever visited the household. Ever the proud father, Max Syne insisted that he give his youngest son a chance to follow in his footsteps. Struggling as a single mother with two small children already, Julia could not deny his request. Alex was brought aboard his father's vessel when he was about two days old. However, this certainly did not result in neglect. The crew of rangers on the very large boat were all very happy to see him arrive on board. He has lived his entire life on that boat. He was home schooled by all the rangers and is rather intelligent. He is also, as a result, very close to water type pokemon. However, while Alex loved the life he lived, Max could never keep him from his true calling. Nothing would make Alex more happy than a call from one of his brothers to hear of their escapades. Finally turning 15, Alex convinced his father to let him begin his own adventure. However, he was busy on an important mission involving Manaphy and could not devote the time to travel all the way back to Risin. This news actually excited Alex. No one would know him as "James's brother," but he could bring the Syne name to a whole new continent.
For more, see Phione's backstory
General Appearance: He looks young for a 15 year old. He has straight blond hair, which is long, and he has blue eyes. He wears casual clothing all the time
Primary Career: Trainer
Goals:
-Catching, befriending, and training all types of pokemon
-Finding and saving Manaphy and Phiones (See Phione's backstory)
-Surpassing his siblings
Phione
Gender: I think the concept of "Genderless" is stupid, so Male.
Attacks: Bubble, Water Sport
Personality: Phione is Alex's closest friend. They have a great friendship and Phione always fights for him with pride. He is a caring pokemon, although his past is mysterious and dark. Always excited and strong willed, Phione is Alex's staple pokemon.
Backstory: Alex's father focuses his life around Manaphy. When Alex was about 10 years old, Manaphy went missing. Alex's father's life became focused around saving Manaphy and finding it. He has spent the last 5 years searching the seas all over with very little luck. However, one lead led them to Team Aqua. The rangers on his boat led a raid against their stronghold. It was well guarded, but they managed to force the team to flee. Nine Phione had been abandoned in the stronghold. They took the Phione on to the boat and took good care of them. Occasionally, they helped in their search for Manaphy, but they were also pokemon to the rangers. Alex, who wasn't very close to anyone on the ship(mainly due to age differences), was elated when the Phione arrived. He befriended them (He was close to all the pokemon on the ship; his job became to take care of them). Since they were not owned by any of the rangers, they became his pokemon. When Alex departed for Risin, he convinced his father to let him bring a Phione with him, since that was the closest thing to a pokemon he had ever owned and since they were such good friends.
Family: Freddie is the younger of 6 brothers. Three of them decided to go out to become great pokémon trainers and the other two still live at home.
General Appearence: Freddie has short, spiky brown hair and dark blue eyes. He wears a white T-Shirt with a black & white pokéball on the chest, dark jeans and green "all-star-like" shoes.
Backstory: Freddie always loved the pokemon world, since he was raised watching his older brother leave home. Nowadays, Freddie likes to explore old places, like the ruins of the old Pokémon Mansion in Cinnabar. Amused with the pre-historical pokemon, Freddie wants to get an old amber to revive it into an aerodactyl.
Inspired by Blaine, Freddie's dream is to become a great pokémon gym leader, so he went a lot of times to the gym to watch battles and do the quizes, because he thinks that knowledge is essencial if you want to become respected, which is a crucial requiriment to become a gym leader.
Now Freddie wants to go out to collect pokémon in order to train and achieve his dream: becoming a fossil gym leader.
Goal: Become a respected fossil gym leader and catch all fossil pokemon.
Primary career: Pokémon Trainer Secondary career: Scientist (Specialty: Paleontology)
Place of Origin: Born in Hoenn, moved to Lavaridge town with his older sister for a time.
Family: Mr. Issac Moore - Grandfather - Once a gym leader and elite four member in Hoenn. (Note: Some of the names in these relationships are additions by myself, connecting to canon characters can be tricky. Here, gave the character a first name.)
Flannery Moore - Older Sister - Flannery is seven years older than Jerrin, and was currently the Gym Leader in Lavaridge town in Hoenn when Jerrin left. (Its possible Moore is not her last name in the canon.)
Just after Jerrin turned five, his parents left to become better pokemon trainers themselves. He doesn't know where they went, but he suspects it was Sinnoh.
General Appearance: Jerrin has red hair to match his sisters, that he keeps fairly short. He's rather attractive, like his sister before him, but unlike her, he tries to dress the part with meticulously chosen clothes. He has pale skin and dark eyes.
Backstory: Jerrin lived alone with his older sister for most of his life. Because of their parents leaving when Jerrin was so young, Flannery became a little over protective of him and wouldn't let him leave to go on his own journey. He eventually ran off and made it to the region of Risin, but still wishes to mimic his sister and become a Gym Leader one day (Though not for reasons of mimicry).
Goal: To place well at the Risin Pokemon League Tournament and become a Gym Leader.
Family: Owen's parents own and operate a successful beachfront restaurant on Dewford. He has a pretty normal relationship with them, though he hasn't seen them in quite a while.
Owen has one sibling, an older brother. They were fairly close, but their hobbies diverged at a young age; Thomas was always keenly interested in Pokemon, collecting every species native to the island and training at Dewford's Gym. Still, Thomas always made sure to make time for his little brother, trying to teach him about Pokemon and being a Trainer (though typically with little success). Once he had obtained Dewford's Badge, however, he decided that his home had nothing left to offer him as a Trainer; he had to move on if he ever wanted to be serious about it. When he left to visit the other Gyms of Hoenn, Owen was about ten years old. Thomas sent letters and called when he could, but eventually over the course of a year contact trickled almost to a stop. Thomas rarely sends any word at all these days, and when he does it's practically a generic letter along the lines of "Hi family. I'm doing ok. How about you? Talk to you later." Though his parents were of course concerned, by this point they've reserved themselves to the fact that wherever he is, Thomas is growing up and living his own life (they were always more of the "hands-off" kind of parents anyways), though they hope one day he'll want to be a part of their family again.
General Appearance: Well-tanned and slightly heavyset, with a thick mop of somewhat straggly, reddish-brown hair and a goatee to match, Owen has the look of someone who's spent more time playing in the sun than working in it. He's in good enough shape, but he's built more for stamina than speed, if you know what I mean. His hazel eyes are usually kept half-lidded, but they can light up with surprising intensity when his curiousity is piqued. His typical attire consists of some sort of colorful board shorts and a similar Hawaiian t-shirt (or whatever the equivalent would be in a world without a Hawaii) over a simple white t-shirt, with a comfortable pair of sandals. He carries a walking stick and a backpack with travelling supplies when he's on the road.
Backstory: A native to the small community on Dewford Island, Owen spent pretty much his entire youth there. Though he helped his parents run the family business, he usually preferred to relax and goof off with his friends, swimming and exploring the caves. Still, he was always fascinated by stories he heard from travellers and tourists visiting the restaurant of exciting and exotic locales, huge cities and vast inland wildernesses. As soon as he was old enough, Owen left Dewford to travel and see the world, wandering wherever wind and whim would take him, and he hasn't looked back (he still keeps in touch with his parents, of course, determined not to end up like his brother). Though he makes friends fairly easily, his only constant companion over the years has been his Aron, Ferria; she has been with him since he was a child. Together they've travelled all over the world, recently ending up in the Risin region. When he finds a place he likes, he'll usually stay there for anywhere from a few days to a few months, but he always moves on before he gets too attatched.
An avid surfer, Owen always finds himself drawn back to the shore when he hears of a place with good waves or a competition. He's won on occasion, but mostly by accident or luck - he has never taken it too seriously, and doesn't like to think of it as a sport. His parents send him money on a fairly regular basis, but he mostly gets by on odd jobs, the rare case where he wins a surfing contest with a cash prize, or living off the land when he needs to. His only regret for his chosen lifestyle is the fact that he can't feasibly have a board of his own, so he's always stuck renting or borrowing one.
Goal: Owen has no real goals or aspirations at the moment, simply taking life as it comes at him and experiencing as much as he can. He certainly doesn't think of himself as a Trainer in any sense of the word; he has no interest in battling or catching other Pokemon, aside from fending off the occasional wild ones that confront him. He does enjoy watching a good battle between Trainers, though he hates it when they take it too seriously. After all, the point is that it's supposed to be fun for Trainer and Pokemon, right?
General Appearance: He wears dark clothing and has horrible posture. A leather fedora and hiking boots clash horribly with the rest of his outfit, but it is an outfit meant to allow comfort while trekking, becuase if we pay too much attention to the styles of the current day we won't have time to do the important things. He also wears a pair of glasses that act as sunglasses when it is bright.
Backstory: Jonathon spent his childhood wandering around in the wilderness around Lavender Town, protected from serious harm by mischevious trickster spirits - the ghosts that his parents studied and worked with. The tales of the temporary conversion of the pokemon tower into a radio station were the motiv behind his fervent beliefs in protecting the wilds and not going overboard with modernization of old things - and so once he finished his studies, tutored by his parents, he caught a boat to try and establish himself somewhere where his family wasn't - becuase everyone needs thier independance.
Goal: Encroachment on the wilds is a horrible thing. We must protect the sanctuaries we have, establish more of them, and protect the wilds. And so forth and so on.
Family: Mother - Passed on early in Josh's life. Josh never got to know her, and has no memories of her
Father - Rick. Current profession unknown
General Appearance: Short brown hair that is beginning to show signs of starting to gray. Is almost always wearing a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. A pair of running shoes completes the emsemble. Slightly heavybuilt.
Backstory: Josh never knew his mother. She died while Josh was quite young, and thus Josh was raised by his father. Being an only child, one would assume that Josh would have been spoiled by his father, but this was not the case. Rick ended up dispising Josh, blaming him for the death of his beloved wife. As Josh grew older, resentment turned into hate, and there was much fighting in the household. When Josh turned 16, he ran away from home, forsaking his familys name. Josh spent the last 4 years wandering around the world by himself, trying to figure out what to do with himself. Finally deciding on a path, Josh sets forth with a new passion in life.
Goal: Ultimately, Josh wants to refind his father, and make him pay for the years of pain and hurt inflicted on him. This means Josh needs to become powerful enough to take on his father, along with needing to get his hands on methods of which to do it.
Primary Career: Trainer
Secondary Career: Thief
Third Career: Gangster
Starter Pokemon: Poochyena. A dark pokemon fits perfectly into the darkness in the heart of Josh.

Thanks for the Sig! SpiderBoy4 at [High~Light Studios]
While he was younger: Mother: Debra Santin- Pokemon Coordinator
Father: Jim Santin- Currently pursuing the Elite Four spot.
General Appearance: He’s a tall black male with silver hair, crimson eyes. His wardrobe consists of a white zip-up vest with a black tee-shirt (or sweater depending on weather), black pants, and black sneakers (or boots depending on weather). Usually seen with a green Poke Backpack. Unless indoors, he's never seen without his Black Boonie Fisherman's Hat!
Backstory: Ever since the Sinnoh league was formed, Ixider has always wanted to travel and train Pokemon. The problem, school and prior training. His mother was away a lot and his father wasn’t any better. During HS, they enrolled him into the Pokemon Academy. He graduated top honors, but didn’t have a clue on what was next. That’s when he met him. Icy Beak, a Piplup that was injured and mistreated by his previous trainer. After a major incident, the trainer released the Piplup and he then adopted the Piplup and vowed to collect decent breeds of Pokemon and look to follow in his parents footsteps of success.
Goal: To win every possible league and to collect many different breeds of Pokemon for study.
Pokemon Collector: A rare class of Trainers that don't just catch them all, they also take good care of them and most of the Pokemon Collectors goes to festivals and conventions to show off what they caught or bred. Some are even so bold to have ranches in areas of Risin to display them without the confinements of them being cooped up in a pokeball.
A huge thing about Collectors is that they make friends and allies rather than catch weapons. That is also why Ixider is with Icy Beak now. He always nicknames them based off of the degree of creativity and if the Pokemon Approves.. .
Name: Matthew Caruso (Goes by Matt)
Age: 15
Height/Weight: 5'2"/165 lbs.
Place of Origin: Vermillion City
General Appearance: Matthew is a kind of stocky kid with glasses. He can be kind of awkward at times but he's a good kid at heart.
Backstory: Matt grew up with a usual family. No parents dying when he was young, no major catastrophe that gives him any kind of odd fear, he's just an average kid looking to make a name for himself. His father and grandfather had done moderately well on the Tour, and Matt is trying to make his bones doing what worked for past generations.
Pokemon Knowledge: Matt will see a pokemon and be able to rattle off some basic information (evolution tree, common habitat, basic moveset, etc.) like it was 1st grade math; but for the more advanced stuff he goes for the pokedex.
Starter: Pikachu for me, please.

Top 16 - 2012 Indiana State Championships Currently Playing: GBStandard - Golgari Safari MidrangeBG RBWModern - Mardu PyromancerWBR RLegacy - Good Old Fashioned BurnR
General Appearance: Slim and slightly muscular, of about average height. Cares little for fashion. Often in a tattered black t-shirt and a pair of muddy shoes. Renton claims he feels more comfortable in "lived-in" clothes, and enjoys the smell of his oddly grass-stained jeans.

Name: Ashton Almondrod Age: 21 Gender: Male Height/Weight: 5'11", 160 lb. Place of Origin: Born in Ecruteak City, raised in Violet City. Family: Ashton is an only child. When he was only a few years old, Ashton's parents died in an accident on a trip to Hoenn; before they left, they placed him in the hands of his aunt, Karen, and his uncle, Roy, a TV newsman.
General Appearance: Ashton's a pretty attractive guy. He has lightly tanned skin, and deep, brown eyes -- his hair's about the same color, and is kept short and spiked in the front. Since police have only seen him while he's wearing his usual work "costume," he's free to look and dress however he wants during his freetime. He usually wears something fairly dressy during his time off, like khakis and a button-down with a tie. Ashton's costume is entirely black -- his eyemask, his fedora, his shirt and over-vest (both of which are armored), his pants, and his main weapon, his cane (the kind that's straight, not the one with the twisted end for better grasping.) His cane is capable of some great things, thanks to a hole on the bottom of it. It has a retractable blade, can fire sticky nets and a small laser capable of melting through steel, and can dispense a sleeping gas into the air. He's got plenty of disguises, too, if he ever feels threatened by the police while on a job; while in a disguise, it's near-impossible to recognize him. Sometimes he just feels like having a bit of fun and wearing the good old costume though.
Backstory: Ashton was born on the outskirts of Ecruteak City in the Johto region, where he lived the first few years of his life with his mother and father. At the age of four, Ashton's parents left their son and went to the Hoenn region for a week. A few days after they were scheduled to return home, Ashton's aunt and uncle, who he was staying with, received the news that his parents had died in an accident. From there on out, Ashton lived with his aunt and uncle.
Ashton had a good childhood. His aunt and uncle went out of their way a lot to take care of him. They never necessarily spoiled him, but they certainly tried their best to make him happy. They always exposed Ashton to the world around him -- he would always go out with his aunt to wherever she had to go, or to his uncle's news station for the day. He was constantly outside, either playing with the neighborhood kids or observing Pokemon go about their daily business, something he spent a lot of time doing.
Around the time he was thirteen, Ashton's friends had started asking him to catch Pokemon for them. They knew he was good at watching Pokemon, and that he knew how all the ones near their houses acted. At first, Ashton was against this, but he eventually came around and agreed to do it for a little bit of money. Before he knew it, Ashton was a very skilled, and rather wealthy, Pokemon catcher.
When Ashton was fifteen, he was already very famous among Violet City's kids since he was able to get them just about any Pokemon they wanted. (He did a great job keeping his "business" under control when tons of kids came to him.) But right when everything was going well, he was approached by someone that might not've affected his life right now, but certainly would down the road -- an aged Pokemon collector, named Mr. Spot. Mr. Spot asked Ashton to catch several Pokemon in the woods about a mile away, and was willing to pay him well over twenty thousand Pokemon for them. During his conversation with him, Ashton felt a weird sensation in his heart each time Mr. Spot brought up the word "capture." He was well aware that "capturing" and "catching" were one in the same, but the word "capturing" made Ashton unsure about what he was doing. He completed his request, however. Mr. Spot commended him on his fantastic job, and said he would tell some of his friends about Ashton's work. It was around this time when Ashton obtained his first Pokemon, Murkrow.
Over the next few years, Ashton turned to accept the fact that what he was doing was indeed capturing. It hurt him at first, but shortly after he began to embrace it. By the time he was eighteen, he had six clients he would do work for pretty often, and none of them had a positive influence on Ashton or good motives for the Pokemon he was hired to capture. Sickeningly, this didn't bother Ashton one bit. What went from a neighborhood hobby had become a destructive lifestyle -- Ashton now openly admitted to himself that he had become a Pokemon Poacher.
News spread over the next few years about Ashton's services. Nobody "normal", including his aunt and uncle, knew about Ashton's secret career -- it was only the criminals and figures of the Pokemon black market that did. Now, at twenty-one, Ashton has become a prominent figure in the Johto Pokemon Black Market, and is one of the top poachers back in his home region of Johto. The police have caught on to Ashton's actions, and now on top of jobs he's constantly on the run. He has come to Risin with hopes of becoming the top poacher in the region, along with creating a powerful Pokemon team that'll get the job done no matter what.
Goal: To become recognized as the greatest poacher around. Primary Career: Pokemon Poacher [Non-Affiliated] Secondary Career: Gangster (He's not interested in the gangster lifestyle. Rather, he wants to become a gangster so he can take the organization he joined down from the inside so that their poachers no longer get in his way.)
Starting Pokemon: Murkrow (Male) with Peck, Astonish, and Confuse Ray.
Out of Bio: Backstory's probably a little goofy/unsensical at parts, but hey, we can work out the kinks while we play.

Break, O Earth.
Dry up, O Sea.
Burn out, O Sun.
Grant us power Earthly Leaders and Gatekeepers of Hell.
Guide us Makers of the Underworld.
Family: He has none that he knows of. Or doesn't know where they are.
General Appearance: He's a rather average built guy with light tan skin and deep blue eyes. His hair, slightly past his ears, is just as blue as his eyes. He is never without his companion Psyduck or a pair of sunglasses. He wears a white T-shirt with white baggy sweat pants, and a pair of white and blue sneakers. He lurks in the shadows rarely wanting to be seen but will take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself.
Backstory: Since as far back as he can remember, he's been without a family and has never known why, but often wonders what became of his parents. His earliest childhood memories were stealing food for a group of pokemon bandits. He never knew of his real name either but the bandit's (who's favorite game to pass time between heading to new towns and stealing food and pokemon was to play darts) made him fetch the darts for him, and they often called him just simply Dart.
Around the age of 14 he was growing restless with the bandit's who would treat him quite badly and often beat him and starve him. One night he ran away from the bandit's. Knowing that he could do better on his own, then he ever could with the bandit's.
One day, some few months after escaping from the bandits, Dart was walking along a river heading up to the nearest town when the bank gave away, and he fell in the river. The river was very swift and he could barely keep his head above the water. After being swept down river several meters, he enters shallow water only a foot or so deep. As the water barely trickled passed him, the last thing he could remember was hearing a pattering of something coming towards him in the river. And he passes out, just before the figure reaches him.
He awoke some time later laying along the edge of the river bank. With a Psyduck sitting next too him. And starting from that day on, Psyduck has been Dart's greatest companion.
Goal: To hopefully find out what happened to his parents, and to become a powerful trainer.
Primary Career: Wanderer
Secondary Career: Trainer
Third Career: Thief
Family: Rostam comes from a very loving family that consists of a mother, father, and younger sister. They are fairly wealthy and money was never an issue. They want him to grow up and be rich and successful as well. The problem is, Rostam doesn't care about money like they do. His parents are very overprotective and Rostam has lived a sheltered life. He is close with his sister, but their interests are nothing alike.
General Appearance: Rostam is tall with an athletic build. He has tan skin and brown eyes. His hair is dark brown and of medium length. It is generally pushed or combed to the side. It doesn't look extremely neat but it is not messy. Rostam usually wears a button down collared shirt that is usually rolled at the sleeves to the elbows unless it is too hot. He has a white blank shirt underneath that. He usually wears jeans and a nice pair of sneakers. Despite his stature, Rostam looks as if he is 16 or 17. He often gets called 'baby face' and he hates this. In a futile attempt to combat this, he keeps some facial hair. Its usually short but sometimes he shaves clean.
Backstory: Right now, Rostam is a student at a university. He is studying medicine and wants to become a Pokemon doctor. His parents want him to be a people doctor, a lawyer or something of the sort. He doesn't want to be a Pokemon doctor for the money. He is doing it because he wants to help pokemon. He is also adamantly against Pokemon abuse and trainers who force their Pokemon to fight against their wills. He is currently very unsure about a lot of things. He is considering not accepting his parents money any longer. He wants to see if he can make it in the world on his own. He is also unsure how he feels about Pokemon fights. They seem violent and inhumane, but if the Pokemon want to fight it might be ok. He doesn't know how to feel about this. He wants to take a break from school to figure out what he wants to do with his life. In this time, he is going to travel around looking for freelance work in anything he can do. Also, he wants to apply what he has learned so far by helping heal Pokemon after fights. He will also be keeping an eye out for any trainers that abuse their Pokemon. He wants to stop trainers that force Pokemon to fight that do not want to fight.
Goal: Rostam's goal is to prove to his parents that he can make it without them. He wants to be a Pokemon doctor who charges as little as possible. He doesn't want to be rich. He only wants to make enough to get by. His main goal is to help Pokemon in any way possible. His other goal is to stop Pokemon abuse on a global scale.

Age: 17, zodiac sign of Cancer
Gender: Female
Height/Weight: 5'-0" , approx. 90 lbs
Place of Origin: Lavaridge Town
Family: Nico is an only child. Her father and mother, both breeders, have raised many different types of pokemon. When they set up the ranch, the decided to specialize in Ponyta and Rapidash. They also established the ranch as an environmentally-friendly establishment, with solar/wind generators, recycling, and other measures.
Being a fire-oriented ranch near Lavaridge, Flannery was fond of visiting. This led Nico to admire her as an older sister, and the two would talk about anything and everything when time allowed.
General Appearance: Nico has never been one to conform to 'popular fashion'. She wears loose fitting, well-worn jeans, a long-sleeved white shirt underneath a bright orange T-shirt. Natural red hair down a little past her shoulders - a combination of wavy ringlets and curls - frames an attractive face with bold green eyes and a small spattering of freckles across her cheekbones. Often sporting an infectious grin when she meets someone, she can be anywhere from openly chatty to withdrawn depending on circumstances. A slight tan on her skin, and sunglasses never far from her face, she's used to being outside for periods of time. And, being an aspiring photographer, is never without her camera and equipment.
She's also known to change her outfit from time to time, for no other real reason than "because I can!"
Backstory: Growing up on a small Ponyta ranch had its benefits for Nico in her younger years. Many visitors would come for vacations, so Nico would 'babysit' all of the pokemon that came to the ranch as well. As she grew older, her family started letting her work with the Ponyta, and she soon fell in love with them. On her 16th birthday she decided she wanted to adventure around the country; a decision which her parents have fully supported since that day. As a special gift, she received an egg and was told that if she took care of it and raised the new pokemon well, they would let her adventure on her own. (Her parents had bred the egg from their own personal Ponytas, thinking what better way for families to watch out for each other than by having families travel together) It hatched into a baby Ponyta, and became her companion for the adventures that wait ahead.
Goal(s): One of Nico's lifelong dreams is to meet a Moltres, but her more realistic goals are to see the countryside, go on random adventures, collect interesting (in her opinion) pokemon, largely focusing on Fire-X types but not exclusively so.
Primary career: Pokemon Ranger
Secondary career: Breeder
Other career(s): Amateur photography
Starting Pokemon: Ponyta (female) . . . . I'm going to take a wild guess for starting moves . . . Tackle and Growl?
As far as inventory goes, should I detail outfits now in case she decides to change on occasion? Also, will a somewhat basic digital camera and equipment setup be OK as well, or should that be purchased in-game?
Age: 23
Gender: male
Height/Weight: 5'6'', 160lbs
Place of Origin: Jubilife City, Sinno
General Appearance: A wlde build and his dark colors (hair, eyes and complection) makes Cole seem intimidating at times, but once he smiles, he can look quite friendly. Cole will always rather wear comfortable clothes over fashionable ones, but right now will probably be seen in uniforms mostly. His sole signiture item is a wide brim white hat, which he wears everywhere, as it was a gift.
Backstory: Cole is intelligent, but for many years he really didn't put any of that intelligence to work, working in whatever job comes his way. All that changed over the last summer. Cole was working on the S.S Anne as a sailor, when he witnessed a member of team rocket try and steal a pokemon from one of the passengers, an elderly woman who cried for his help. Cole chased down the criminal and stopped him, and managed to save the pokemon. The elderly lady was grateful enough to offer him one of her newly bred pokemon as a prize, a Drifloon. Over the rest of the ship's journey Cole and his Driftloon got to know each other, and by the end of it, Cole had made a decision. He wanted to know more about pokemon, and see more of them if possible, but most of all, he wanted to help people. One the next port, in Livian, Cole left the S.S Anne and signed up to the police academy.
Goal: Cole wants to be a detective, and be able to travel around Risin solving crimes and seeing pokemon.
Primary career: Police Officer
Secondary career: Trainer (he's only really interested in catching and training pokemon, not really going after the league)
Starting Pokemon: Drifloon (male). Starting moves... I don't know Gust/Astonish and something else? Minimize?
The wide brim hat, being Cole's signiture article of clothing, should be in the starting inventory if that's ok with you.

Name: Sam Winsborough Forgeman
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5' 6", 145 lbs
Place of Origin: Goldenrod, Jhoto
Family: Only child. Mother and Father live in Goldenrod, mother works at the Game Corner, and father creates Poké Balls for the huge department store.
General Appearance: Longish red hair that is usually tied back in a ponytail, and covered by a red baseball cap with a poké ball symbol on it, keeping the brim turned to his left. He has green eyes, yellow t-shirt, and jeans. Keeps a heavier coat in his pack, which is gray with red trim.
Backstory: Sam's youth was full of excitement. His mother worked at the Goldenrod Game Corner, and his father spent his days crafting Poké Balls for the department store. As Sam got older, he saw more and more trainers going through the city on their way to greatness and fame, and he spent his time watching battles in Whitney's gym. While he has a drive to become a pokémon master, his real passion is to follow his father's steps, and help forge Poké Balls. His father gave him a young Cyndaquil, son of the Typhlosion who helps him out in the forge, and tickets to Risin, where they both hoped that he would thrive, meet other teenagers hoping to get ahead in the world, and find a place to spread the art of Poké Ball crafting.
Pokésmarts: Sam's knowledge of Pokémon is nearly microscopically detailed when it comes to most Pokémon of the Johto and Kanto regions, and merely microscopic beyond that.
Goal: To open up his own shop and create Poké Balls for the people of Risin. Maybe he will earn a few badges to earn the respect of the community.
Primary Career: Poké Ball Smith (e.g. Kurt)
Secondary Career: Trainer
Cyndaquil ♂
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'6" / 130 lbs
Place of Origin: A house near the Hoenn Safari Zone, between it and Lilycove City.
Family:
Luther Thundersky, father.
Marina Thundersky, mother (deceased)
Sara Thundersky, older sister.
Damian Thundersky, older brother
General Appearance: Nevin has black hair in a short braid going partway down his back. He's a bit small for a guy, but his diminutive stature and apparent skinniness hide a strong body. He wears long-sleeved T-shirts, black jeans, and hiking boots most of the time. In cold weather, he sometimes wears a long black trenchcoat.
Primary Career: Pokemon Trainer
Secondary Career: Pokemon Breeder--he breeds only for himself, to get strong Pokemon to train.
Backstory:
When Nevin was six, his mother became very ill, and doctors were unable to save her, even though they all thought they could. This affected Nevin deeply, and he still misses his mother, although he doesn't admit it even to himself.
As Nevin grew older, he began to deeply distrust other humans, partly because of the failure of the doctors he remembered so vividly, but also because he had already begun asking questions his father and siblings could not answer. These failures, combined with the general ineptitude of the people who explored the Safari Zone, convinced Nevin that other people were stupid and not worth his time. Therefore, he began studying Pokemon.
Living almost inside the Safari Zone, he was able to study many Pokemon and in great detail However, his mind was very quick, and though the Safari Zone may seem diverse to outsiders, it only contains thirty-eight species, and that includes evolved Pokemon. After about four years, Nevin knew essentially everything about all these Pokemon. He'd watched them forage and fight and mate and evolve, and he'd managed to extrapolate most of the data about Pokemon elements from them. Though he liked Pokemon--much more than he liked people--he eventually got bored.
Once Nevin got old enough, he began to sneak out to Lilycove City. He saw some other Pokemon when other trainers were walking with them, but since Lilycove has no gym and he unfortunately had no interest in Contests, he never saw them in action and never studied them in detail. Nevin did discover Lilycove's Port, though, and he began biding his time....
Nevin had learned of Pokemon Gyms, and he wanted to take the gym challenge. However, he didn't especially want to raise a Pokemon from the Safari Zone--he couldn't catch any of the really tough ones, and they bored him anyway--and he really didn't want to take the challenge in the Hoenn region because he thought all the people there were stupid. He began watching for other Pokemon that had gotten lost or been released, and he finally found a huge Trapinch whose massive jaws and digging skills made him respect it a bit. He managed to catch it, and shortly thereafter he stowed away on a boat bound for Livian Port. He did not say goodbye to his family--only his mother had been smart enough to earn his respect, and there was little love lost between him and his father and siblings.
Secretly, on a level he doesn't admit and barely realizes, he's also looking for another person worthy of his respect. Pokemon are nice, but humans need other humans...not that he acknowledges this.
Name: Alexander Syne
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5' 6''
Place of Origin: The deep blue sea/Forynn(I have named the world from WoP 1, because I don't think it was ever named)
Family:
Max Syne(59) is Alex's father. He is also a renowned Pokemon Ranger who is stationed on the seas. He is almost always traveling the world and keeping it safe. He rarely docks, and when he does it is at smaller islands, so he is very unfamiliar with life on any of the regions. Regardless, he is very devoted to his work
Julia Syne(55) is Alex's mother. Left alone in Forynn, she lives a very humble life. She lives on a ranch where she spends most of her time taking care of her sons' and husbands' pokemon. Since her husband does not need the majority of his income while living on the boat, she is rather wealthy, but she does not show it often.
James Syne(36) is Alex's brother, and the best pokemon trainer in all of Forynn. He is significantly older than his siblings, and always supports them. He is a stereotypical "pokemon master." A used to own a gym and he now is the regional champion. Although he has never met Alex, they have communicated many times and James is a constant source of support for Alex.
Michael Syne(20) is also Alex's brother. While James traveled Forynn, he lived with his mother. Once he finally became of age, he and his trusty Absol traveled Forynn in an attempt to best his brother. He is a gym leader in Forynn, constantly striving towards his goal.
Grace Syne (16) is Alex's sister. She still lives with her mother happily with her Buneary. Although she has thought about beginning her own adventures, like her brothers before her, she lives a happy life.
Backstory: Alexander Syne is the exception. He was born at one of the very few times his father has ever visited the household. Ever the proud father, Max Syne insisted that he give his youngest son a chance to follow in his footsteps. Struggling as a single mother with two small children already, Julia could not deny his request. Alex was brought aboard his father's vessel when he was about two days old. However, this certainly did not result in neglect. The crew of rangers on the very large boat were all very happy to see him arrive on board. He has lived his entire life on that boat. He was home schooled by all the rangers and is rather intelligent. He is also, as a result, very close to water type pokemon. However, while Alex loved the life he lived, Max could never keep him from his true calling. Nothing would make Alex more happy than a call from one of his brothers to hear of their escapades. Finally turning 15, Alex convinced his father to let him begin his own adventure. However, he was busy on an important mission involving Manaphy and could not devote the time to travel all the way back to Risin. This news actually excited Alex. No one would know him as "James's brother," but he could bring the Syne name to a whole new continent.
For more, see Phione's backstory
General Appearance: He looks young for a 15 year old. He has straight blond hair, which is long, and he has blue eyes. He wears casual clothing all the time
Primary Career: Trainer
Goals:
-Catching, befriending, and training all types of pokemon
-Finding and saving Manaphy and Phiones (See Phione's backstory)
-Surpassing his siblings
Gender: I think the concept of "Genderless" is stupid, so Male.
Attacks: Bubble, Water Sport
Personality: Phione is Alex's closest friend. They have a great friendship and Phione always fights for him with pride. He is a caring pokemon, although his past is mysterious and dark. Always excited and strong willed, Phione is Alex's staple pokemon.
Backstory: Alex's father focuses his life around Manaphy. When Alex was about 10 years old, Manaphy went missing. Alex's father's life became focused around saving Manaphy and finding it. He has spent the last 5 years searching the seas all over with very little luck. However, one lead led them to Team Aqua. The rangers on his boat led a raid against their stronghold. It was well guarded, but they managed to force the team to flee. Nine Phione had been abandoned in the stronghold. They took the Phione on to the boat and took good care of them. Occasionally, they helped in their search for Manaphy, but they were also pokemon to the rangers. Alex, who wasn't very close to anyone on the ship(mainly due to age differences), was elated when the Phione arrived. He befriended them (He was close to all the pokemon on the ship; his job became to take care of them). Since they were not owned by any of the rangers, they became his pokemon. When Alex departed for Risin, he convinced his father to let him bring a Phione with him, since that was the closest thing to a pokemon he had ever owned and since they were such good friends.

Place of Origin: Cinnabar Island
Family: Freddie is the younger of 6 brothers. Three of them decided to go out to become great pokémon trainers and the other two still live at home.
General Appearence: Freddie has short, spiky brown hair and dark blue eyes. He wears a white T-Shirt with a black & white pokéball on the chest, dark jeans and green "all-star-like" shoes.
Backstory: Freddie always loved the pokemon world, since he was raised watching his older brother leave home. Nowadays, Freddie likes to explore old places, like the ruins of the old Pokémon Mansion in Cinnabar. Amused with the pre-historical pokemon, Freddie wants to get an old amber to revive it into an aerodactyl.
Inspired by Blaine, Freddie's dream is to become a great pokémon gym leader, so he went a lot of times to the gym to watch battles and do the quizes, because he thinks that knowledge is essencial if you want to become respected, which is a crucial requiriment to become a gym leader.
Now Freddie wants to go out to collect pokémon in order to train and achieve his dream: becoming a fossil gym leader.
Goal: Become a respected fossil gym leader and catch all fossil pokemon.
Primary career: Pokémon Trainer
Secondary career: Scientist (Specialty: Paleontology)
Starter pokémon: He'll pick one at the lab.
My english may suck, so please take it easy
Age:19
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'10"/145 lbs.
Place of Origin: Born in Hoenn, moved to Lavaridge town with his older sister for a time.
Family: Mr. Issac Moore - Grandfather - Once a gym leader and elite four member in Hoenn. (Note: Some of the names in these relationships are additions by myself, connecting to canon characters can be tricky. Here, gave the character a first name.)
Flannery Moore - Older Sister - Flannery is seven years older than Jerrin, and was currently the Gym Leader in Lavaridge town in Hoenn when Jerrin left. (Its possible Moore is not her last name in the canon.)
Just after Jerrin turned five, his parents left to become better pokemon trainers themselves. He doesn't know where they went, but he suspects it was Sinnoh.
General Appearance: Jerrin has red hair to match his sisters, that he keeps fairly short. He's rather attractive, like his sister before him, but unlike her, he tries to dress the part with meticulously chosen clothes. He has pale skin and dark eyes.
Backstory: Jerrin lived alone with his older sister for most of his life. Because of their parents leaving when Jerrin was so young, Flannery became a little over protective of him and wouldn't let him leave to go on his own journey. He eventually ran off and made it to the region of Risin, but still wishes to mimic his sister and become a Gym Leader one day (Though not for reasons of mimicry).
Goal: To place well at the Risin Pokemon League Tournament and become a Gym Leader.

Age:17
Gender: Male
Height/Weight: 5'8", ~180 lbs.
Place of Origin: Dewford Island, Hoenn
Family: Owen's parents own and operate a successful beachfront restaurant on Dewford. He has a pretty normal relationship with them, though he hasn't seen them in quite a while.
Owen has one sibling, an older brother. They were fairly close, but their hobbies diverged at a young age; Thomas was always keenly interested in Pokemon, collecting every species native to the island and training at Dewford's Gym. Still, Thomas always made sure to make time for his little brother, trying to teach him about Pokemon and being a Trainer (though typically with little success). Once he had obtained Dewford's Badge, however, he decided that his home had nothing left to offer him as a Trainer; he had to move on if he ever wanted to be serious about it. When he left to visit the other Gyms of Hoenn, Owen was about ten years old. Thomas sent letters and called when he could, but eventually over the course of a year contact trickled almost to a stop. Thomas rarely sends any word at all these days, and when he does it's practically a generic letter along the lines of "Hi family. I'm doing ok. How about you? Talk to you later." Though his parents were of course concerned, by this point they've reserved themselves to the fact that wherever he is, Thomas is growing up and living his own life (they were always more of the "hands-off" kind of parents anyways), though they hope one day he'll want to be a part of their family again.
General Appearance: Well-tanned and slightly heavyset, with a thick mop of somewhat straggly, reddish-brown hair and a goatee to match, Owen has the look of someone who's spent more time playing in the sun than working in it. He's in good enough shape, but he's built more for stamina than speed, if you know what I mean. His hazel eyes are usually kept half-lidded, but they can light up with surprising intensity when his curiousity is piqued. His typical attire consists of some sort of colorful board shorts and a similar Hawaiian t-shirt (or whatever the equivalent would be in a world without a Hawaii) over a simple white t-shirt, with a comfortable pair of sandals. He carries a walking stick and a backpack with travelling supplies when he's on the road.
Backstory: A native to the small community on Dewford Island, Owen spent pretty much his entire youth there. Though he helped his parents run the family business, he usually preferred to relax and goof off with his friends, swimming and exploring the caves. Still, he was always fascinated by stories he heard from travellers and tourists visiting the restaurant of exciting and exotic locales, huge cities and vast inland wildernesses. As soon as he was old enough, Owen left Dewford to travel and see the world, wandering wherever wind and whim would take him, and he hasn't looked back (he still keeps in touch with his parents, of course, determined not to end up like his brother). Though he makes friends fairly easily, his only constant companion over the years has been his Aron, Ferria; she has been with him since he was a child. Together they've travelled all over the world, recently ending up in the Risin region. When he finds a place he likes, he'll usually stay there for anywhere from a few days to a few months, but he always moves on before he gets too attatched.
An avid surfer, Owen always finds himself drawn back to the shore when he hears of a place with good waves or a competition. He's won on occasion, but mostly by accident or luck - he has never taken it too seriously, and doesn't like to think of it as a sport. His parents send him money on a fairly regular basis, but he mostly gets by on odd jobs, the rare case where he wins a surfing contest with a cash prize, or living off the land when he needs to. His only regret for his chosen lifestyle is the fact that he can't feasibly have a board of his own, so he's always stuck renting or borrowing one.
Goal: Owen has no real goals or aspirations at the moment, simply taking life as it comes at him and experiencing as much as he can. He certainly doesn't think of himself as a Trainer in any sense of the word; he has no interest in battling or catching other Pokemon, aside from fending off the occasional wild ones that confront him. He does enjoy watching a good battle between Trainers, though he hates it when they take it too seriously. After all, the point is that it's supposed to be fun for Trainer and Pokemon, right?

My First (And Probably Only) MCC Perfect Score: December 09 (Round One)
Age: 19
Gender: M
Height/Weight: 5 ft 3 / 136 lbs
Place of Origin: Close to Lavender Town, Kanto.
Family: Mother:Mary Redwood, medium.
Father:Carl Redwood, scientist of ghosts
Older Sister:Miriam Redwood, Kanto Breeder
General Appearance: He wears dark clothing and has horrible posture. A leather fedora and hiking boots clash horribly with the rest of his outfit, but it is an outfit meant to allow comfort while trekking, becuase if we pay too much attention to the styles of the current day we won't have time to do the important things. He also wears a pair of glasses that act as sunglasses when it is bright.
Backstory: Jonathon spent his childhood wandering around in the wilderness around Lavender Town, protected from serious harm by mischevious trickster spirits - the ghosts that his parents studied and worked with. The tales of the temporary conversion of the pokemon tower into a radio station were the motiv behind his fervent beliefs in protecting the wilds and not going overboard with modernization of old things - and so once he finished his studies, tutored by his parents, he caught a boat to try and establish himself somewhere where his family wasn't - becuase everyone needs thier independance.
Goal: Encroachment on the wilds is a horrible thing. We must protect the sanctuaries we have, establish more of them, and protect the wilds. And so forth and so on.

Family: Mother - Passed on early in Josh's life. Josh never got to know her, and has no memories of her
Father - Rick. Current profession unknown
General Appearance: Short brown hair that is beginning to show signs of starting to gray. Is almost always wearing a t-shirt and a pair of shorts. A pair of running shoes completes the emsemble. Slightly heavybuilt.
Backstory: Josh never knew his mother. She died while Josh was quite young, and thus Josh was raised by his father. Being an only child, one would assume that Josh would have been spoiled by his father, but this was not the case. Rick ended up dispising Josh, blaming him for the death of his beloved wife. As Josh grew older, resentment turned into hate, and there was much fighting in the household. When Josh turned 16, he ran away from home, forsaking his familys name. Josh spent the last 4 years wandering around the world by himself, trying to figure out what to do with himself. Finally deciding on a path, Josh sets forth with a new passion in life.
Goal: Ultimately, Josh wants to refind his father, and make him pay for the years of pain and hurt inflicted on him. This means Josh needs to become powerful enough to take on his father, along with needing to get his hands on methods of which to do it.

Family: Ashton is an only child. When he was only a few years old, Ashton's parents died in an accident on a trip to Hoenn; before they left, they placed him in the hands of his aunt, Karen, and his uncle, Roy, a TV newsman.
General Appearance: Ashton's a pretty attractive guy. He has lightly tanned skin, and deep, brown eyes -- his hair's about the same color, and is kept short and spiked in the front. Since police have only seen him while he's wearing his usual work "costume," he's free to look and dress however he wants during his freetime. He usually wears something fairly dressy during his time off, like khakis and a button-down with a tie. Ashton's costume is entirely black -- his eyemask, his fedora, his shirt and over-vest (both of which are armored), his pants, and his main weapon, his cane (the kind that's straight, not the one with the twisted end for better grasping.) His cane is capable of some great things, thanks to a hole on the bottom of it. It has a retractable blade, can fire sticky nets and a small laser capable of melting through steel, and can dispense a sleeping gas into the air. He's got plenty of disguises, too, if he ever feels threatened by the police while on a job; while in a disguise, it's near-impossible to recognize him. Sometimes he just feels like having a bit of fun and wearing the good old costume though.
Backstory: Ashton was born on the outskirts of Ecruteak City in the Johto region, where he lived the first few years of his life with his mother and father. At the age of four, Ashton's parents left their son and went to the Hoenn region for a week. A few days after they were scheduled to return home, Ashton's aunt and uncle, who he was staying with, received the news that his parents had died in an accident. From there on out, Ashton lived with his aunt and uncle.
Ashton had a good childhood. His aunt and uncle went out of their way a lot to take care of him. They never necessarily spoiled him, but they certainly tried their best to make him happy. They always exposed Ashton to the world around him -- he would always go out with his aunt to wherever she had to go, or to his uncle's news station for the day. He was constantly outside, either playing with the neighborhood kids or observing Pokemon go about their daily business, something he spent a lot of time doing.
Around the time he was thirteen, Ashton's friends had started asking him to catch Pokemon for them. They knew he was good at watching Pokemon, and that he knew how all the ones near their houses acted. At first, Ashton was against this, but he eventually came around and agreed to do it for a little bit of money. Before he knew it, Ashton was a very skilled, and rather wealthy, Pokemon catcher.
When Ashton was fifteen, he was already very famous among Violet City's kids since he was able to get them just about any Pokemon they wanted. (He did a great job keeping his "business" under control when tons of kids came to him.) But right when everything was going well, he was approached by someone that might not've affected his life right now, but certainly would down the road -- an aged Pokemon collector, named Mr. Spot. Mr. Spot asked Ashton to catch several Pokemon in the woods about a mile away, and was willing to pay him well over twenty thousand Pokemon for them. During his conversation with him, Ashton felt a weird sensation in his heart each time Mr. Spot brought up the word "capture." He was well aware that "capturing" and "catching" were one in the same, but the word "capturing" made Ashton unsure about what he was doing. He completed his request, however. Mr. Spot commended him on his fantastic job, and said he would tell some of his friends about Ashton's work. It was around this time when Ashton obtained his first Pokemon, Murkrow.
Over the next few years, Ashton turned to accept the fact that what he was doing was indeed capturing. It hurt him at first, but shortly after he began to embrace it. By the time he was eighteen, he had six clients he would do work for pretty often, and none of them had a positive influence on Ashton or good motives for the Pokemon he was hired to capture. Sickeningly, this didn't bother Ashton one bit. What went from a neighborhood hobby had become a destructive lifestyle -- Ashton now openly admitted to himself that he had become a Pokemon Poacher.
News spread over the next few years about Ashton's services. Nobody "normal", including his aunt and uncle, knew about Ashton's secret career -- it was only the criminals and figures of the Pokemon black market that did. Now, at twenty-one, Ashton has become a prominent figure in the Johto Pokemon Black Market, and is one of the top poachers back in his home region of Johto. The police have caught on to Ashton's actions, and now on top of jobs he's constantly on the run. He has come to Risin with hopes of becoming the top poacher in the region, along with creating a powerful Pokemon team that'll get the job done no matter what.
Goal: To become recognized as the greatest poacher around.
Primary Career: Pokemon Poacher [Non-Affiliated]
Secondary Career: Gangster (He's not interested in the gangster lifestyle. Rather, he wants to become a gangster so he can take the organization he joined down from the inside so that their poachers no longer get in his way.)

Place of Origin: He does not know.
Family: He has none that he knows of. Or doesn't know where they are.
General Appearance: He's a rather average built guy with light tan skin and deep blue eyes. His hair, slightly past his ears, is just as blue as his eyes. He is never without his companion Psyduck or a pair of sunglasses. He wears a white T-shirt with white baggy sweat pants, and a pair of white and blue sneakers. He lurks in the shadows rarely wanting to be seen but will take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself.
Backstory: Since as far back as he can remember, he's been without a family and has never known why, but often wonders what became of his parents. His earliest childhood memories were stealing food for a group of pokemon bandits. He never knew of his real name either but the bandit's (who's favorite game to pass time between heading to new towns and stealing food and pokemon was to play darts) made him fetch the darts for him, and they often called him just simply Dart.
Around the age of 14 he was growing restless with the bandit's who would treat him quite badly and often beat him and starve him. One night he ran away from the bandit's. Knowing that he could do better on his own, then he ever could with the bandit's.
One day, some few months after escaping from the bandits, Dart was walking along a river heading up to the nearest town when the bank gave away, and he fell in the river. The river was very swift and he could barely keep his head above the water. After being swept down river several meters, he enters shallow water only a foot or so deep. As the water barely trickled passed him, the last thing he could remember was hearing a pattering of something coming towards him in the river. And he passes out, just before the figure reaches him.
He awoke some time later laying along the edge of the river bank. With a Psyduck sitting next too him. And starting from that day on, Psyduck has been Dart's greatest companion.

Family: Rostam comes from a very loving family that consists of a mother, father, and younger sister. They are fairly wealthy and money was never an issue. They want him to grow up and be rich and successful as well. The problem is, Rostam doesn't care about money like they do. His parents are very overprotective and Rostam has lived a sheltered life. He is close with his sister, but their interests are nothing alike.
General Appearance: Rostam is tall with an athletic build. He has tan skin and brown eyes. His hair is dark brown and of medium length. It is generally pushed or combed to the side. It doesn't look extremely neat but it is not messy. Rostam usually wears a button down collared shirt that is usually rolled at the sleeves to the elbows unless it is too hot. He has a white blank shirt underneath that. He usually wears jeans and a nice pair of sneakers. Despite his stature, Rostam looks as if he is 16 or 17. He often gets called 'baby face' and he hates this. In a futile attempt to combat this, he keeps some facial hair. Its usually short but sometimes he shaves clean.
Backstory: Right now, Rostam is a student at a university. He is studying medicine and wants to become a Pokemon doctor. His parents want him to be a people doctor, a lawyer or something of the sort. He doesn't want to be a Pokemon doctor for the money. He is doing it because he wants to help pokemon. He is also adamantly against Pokemon abuse and trainers who force their Pokemon to fight against their wills. He is currently very unsure about a lot of things. He is considering not accepting his parents money any longer. He wants to see if he can make it in the world on his own. He is also unsure how he feels about Pokemon fights. They seem violent and inhumane, but if the Pokemon want to fight it might be ok. He doesn't know how to feel about this. He wants to take a break from school to figure out what he wants to do with his life. In this time, he is going to travel around looking for freelance work in anything he can do. Also, he wants to apply what he has learned so far by helping heal Pokemon after fights. He will also be keeping an eye out for any trainers that abuse their Pokemon. He wants to stop trainers that force Pokemon to fight that do not want to fight.
Goal: Rostam's goal is to prove to his parents that he can make it without them. He wants to be a Pokemon doctor who charges as little as possible. He doesn't want to be rich. He only wants to make enough to get by. His main goal is to help Pokemon in any way possible. His other goal is to stop Pokemon abuse on a global scale.
