Jackson McQueen

Name: Jackson McQueen

Age: 15

Personality: Jackson is a bold and brash young man who tends to get in over his head quickly. Although he may not think out all his options before doing things Jackson always seems to know howto get himself out of the wild situations he finds himself in. While his love of his family outweighs his love of Pokemon, he will do anything to protect a defenseless Pokemon even if that means putting himself in danger.

History: Jackson is the son of Johnathan and Alexandra McQueen who raised him and his older brother Tyson to love, respect, and protect Pokemon anyway they can. Growing up in the Kalos region his father helped develop his love of Pokemon by helping him and his brother learn how to battle in Lumiose City. His mother made the money by running a boutique in the city as well as being a fashion designer. (Needless to say the boys never worried about clothes.)

One day while playing in the forest just outside the city. Tyson and Jackson found an injured Pidgey and immediately picked it up and carried it to the Pokemon Center in Lumiose City. When Johnathan and Alexandra got to the forest to get the boys for dinner and discovered they weren't there they started a man hunt until Johnathan ran into the Pokemon Center to find the boys sleeping in the waiting area for the Pidgey.

Soon thereafter Tyson and Pidgey became good friends and Tyson left for his Pokemon journey with his Pidgey by his side. Jackson was only 8 and took it rather hard but always looked forward to his brother stopping by until the day his father told him it was time for him to head out to another region to begin his own Journey. Now at 15 JAckson is ready ad eager to begin his journey and thinks the Fordis Region is the best place to do this.

Lucy

Lucile 'Lucy' Geroux

"Hmm~ hold on...you have some food on your mouth. Lemme get that~"

(she then proceeds to lick said crumbs off your face)

Name:
Lucile 'Lucy' Geroux

Age:
18

Personality:
To say Lucile Geroux is a bit of an eccentric is an understatement. While at first, she'll likely come off as a somewhat mature girl since she speaks with at least some formality and decorum, anyone who spends any length of time around her will quickly find she is, in fact, not.

While she's not unfriendly, she's definitely not overly so either. In fact, if one had to sum of the eighteen year old's personality, it could easily be described as thus: A teasing, somewhat promiscuous, demanding, pleasure seeker who does things solely for her own pleasure or interest. She'll not hesitate to make fun of someone for small giggles at the expense of their own emotional health or tease someone simply for the sake of teasing them.

It should be noted, she's also not going to go out of her way to help a random trainer either. She probably won't even help someone she knows, unless she can get her 'fun' out of it. Calm and collected as well, its rare to see her flustered in some manner. (some might just call this being completely shameless). And if someone truly ever gets upset at her shenanigans, if they seriously tell her to stop she likely will. Of course, they should make sure to be 100% serious about it otherwise she'll simply believe them to be playing along.

That said, she loves her pokemon and they seem to be just about the only ones she consistently will help without a second thought. If someone does anything to them, they gonna have a bad time.

History:
Not much to say here, aside from she's your average Kalosian girl. Her parents weren't anything special, and she doesn't come from money or prestige. Not that she particularly cares or finds it to be much of a trait of character. Success and prestige comes not from ones family, but how they live their life.

She grew up in Laverre city, becoming interested in pokemon from quite a young age, preferring those of the dark and ghost typing. Most of the time, she spent her life growing up playing around in the swamps of route fourteen until her parents moved to the Fordis region, specifically Solstice Town. She didn't particularly have any special attachment to the place, indeed she saw it as a fun adventure. As such, she adjusted to the move quite easily and she's had a fairly easy and decent life growing up. Though, due to her somewhat promiscuous and troublesome personality, she's gotten into no end of mischief and trouble in the name of her entertainment.

Lynnette

"Eeeeh?~ Me? Now, why would I tell you about me?

*Giggles* You idiot~

We're not friends and I could care less, so how about you and your pokemon do the world a favor and die?"

Name:
Lynnette Crawford

Age:
16

Personality:
To say Lynnette is troublesome is...an understatement. The perfect word to describe her is simply, a brat. She doesn't take much interest in other people, and tends to spend time more or less alone unless its to purposefully antagonize others. Scathing and catty in her mannerisms, she's not a pleasant person to hang around at all. Indeed, she seems to go out of her way to purposefully make herself out to be a bad guy or villain. Whatever the reason, seems to be only known to her and possibly a few other people.

That said, if one just so happens to get past her snark, purposefully antagonistic remarks and general dislike of people she deems to be 'goody two shoes', or otherwise folks attempting to get close to her, they may just find her able to have a conversation easily enough with them. Granted, she always speaks somewhat cryptically when not insulting others so finding the truth behind her words is always difficult. She gives no truths or answers when she's speaks or is asked a question.

Indeed, it seems she's actually quite intelligent and she has a fascination with ghosts, spirits, and other things in general relating to the afterlife. Perhaps, if one were to get close enough to be someone she tentatively calls a friend, then they will see softer side of her and figure out where this fascination with such things comes from. Such a thing would be difficult to do, unfortunately, and wouldn't be something done in a day.

As of now, she seems to have very few redeeming qualities about her. Though, on very rare occasions, she's show to have some redeeming qualities.

History:
Originally hailing from Nimbasa City, Unova, Lynnette has a somewhat...normal life growing up. Her parents were fairly average, middle class folks. A loving family, really, with her parents doing the best they could to support her. That said, there's always been a bit of rift between them and her. It was nothing as flashy as her actively disliking them, but there has always been a silent strain between the parents and their child. For whatever reason, Lynnette simply felt she was being smothered at home, unable to do what she wanted. Whether that was actually true or not, is something that is mostly lost to history.

Lynnette spent a lot of time growing up in the Desert. More Specifically, Relic castle. As a kid growing up, she never really was all that sociable. She preferred to study the ancient ruins there and the company of the pokemon that lived there. Indeed, most often she was found there doing all manner of things. School work, socializing with pokemon and occasionally helping tourists that possibly had gotten lost in there. Having explored it extensively, she knew almost every nook and cranny there.

It was during one such excursion she met a boy. At first, she took almost zero interest in him. In fact, he was interrupting her, so she more or less told him to get lost on numerous occasions. Well, at least until he seemed to make a point of visiting the ruins. And eventually, after some time, she invited this kid to hang out with her. Honestly, he was the closest thing to a friend she had ever had.

And she went and blew it.

Around the age of fourteen, there was an accident. She tripped, getting careless in her exploration and fell into a sand trap. She doesn't really go into detail about what happened, even to her parents or the doctors they rushed her to upon her return. She was fine. She survived, and that's all that mattered. If they couldn't accept such a fact then well, she had little she wanted to do with them. She didn't need the protection of her parents, besides. She made a new friend there. A friendly little Yamask that may or may not have been the sole reason of her surviving mostly unharmed.

After this incident her personality seemed to change drastically. Instead of the quiet, studious girl she become more outgoing, but not entirely in the good way. Often, she spoke as to purposefully confuse people. Behaving in purposefully confusing manners and often times answering questions about what happened with riddles, half truths, and perhaps even the odd soliloquy or two.

In the end, it pushed her friend away, and he moved shortly afterwards. Her life continued in a similar manner from here. Often times, she simply walked out of her front door and left her home. For days sometimes, much to the horrified dismay of her parents. The longest she left currently? A two way ticket to the Johto region by ferry. How did she get her mitts on it? Well, ghost pokemon tend to be good at stealing things.

Eventually her parents found her, and she returned. Now? her parents are at their wits end with what to do with their daughter. They've tried everything. History is repeating itself, and she's brought herself a one way ticket to the Fordis region with no intention of ever returning to Unova.

You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?~

@AbysmalDemon

Gotta be honest, a little iffy on including fakemon...but eh, we'll see how it goes. And since I'm assuming Lynette can't already have that Yamask that's been following her around, I'm gonna change her starter pokemon as well. Would it be alright if she captured that Yamask later?

@Rune_Alchemist

I think it's acceptable if kept to starters. I don't think we need anymore than just that, there's over 600 already in the game, and we gonna get another 100 on top of that with the new generation about to hit.

Also is my character accepted? I mean I just need to draw the guy.

[AbysmalDemon]

@Sho Minazuki Yes he is.

@Keyblade87 Move him over :)

Rolf Bannian

---

Rolf Bannian

---

Age:
17

Personality:
Rolf isn't very easy to rouse. He's not easily excited or upset, always in a state of constant mellow contentedness, unless he's out at sea, where he feels even more at peace than usual. Even when excited, Rolf simply will act, and doesn't care much for speaking unless it's important or if someone talks to him first. He's not antisocial, but always seems to be either spaced out or preoccupied. His mind is always racing, and if he's on land he's typically daydreaming of the rolling waves of the endless ocean.

It's hard for Rolf to be compassionate or understanding, even with pokemon or people he's known all his life. Unless talking about his findings or giving advice on subjects he knows a thing or two about- fishing, surfing, sailing, and navigation, mostly- he responds curtly and without much hubbub. Despite his perhaps detached attitude, and his habit of not paying attention to the things around him more often than not if he's not on his boat, he loves to be able to assist others, feeling that it gives him some sort of association to others if he's useful or at the very least to ease his troubled conscience.

His entire life built up of the moral that actions speak louder than words, Rolf never learned to consult with others before jumping into his next course of action. Perhaps it was both his parents being firefighteres, or perhaps his strong sense of adventure and independence, but he is quick to make impulsive decisions, not feeling guilt until they are underway or long after.

History:
Growing up, Rolf showed a growing interest in learning, though he was distinerested in books and only applied himself to observation. He loved exploring the tide pools near his home town most of all, though he didn't like to fun into any pokemon while he enjoyed nature. He never really had any kind of affinity towards pokemon. Even from a young age, Rolf would avoid petting the pokemon that lived in the houses of so many of his friends and relatives, and he was always grateful his parents kept their pokemon either in their balls or outside in the yard. Rolf found his mom's growlithe and dad's houndour they kept as guard animals charming, but more than anything else they were just tools of the trade.

Both of his parents worked for the Udella Town Fire Department, and their fire type canines were useful in carrying out search-and-rescue operations. He would always go on long walks on the beach with them, but was wary of petting them too affectionately or spending too much time around the fire pokemon. When questioned over his strange behavior, Rolf couldn't give a straight answer. Aside from walking around the beach and around town, the child didn't really appear to be interested to do much, instead content with lounging around and living his life to a routine that never changed. He didn't really seem to show extraordinary passion in anything, though he seemed happy enough.

That was, everything except sailing. Like some other of the relatively well-off families of beach towns, Rolf's family sometimes chartered a boat to go out to small oceanic excursions. There was something about the sea breeze and the deep blue surrounding him that Rolf loved. Once they had taken him to the ocean for the first time, around age eight, it was all he would talk about. His parents chartered boats so often, he became well-acquainted with most of the sailors, even picking up a few pointers from them here and there. Eventually, he thought he had the gist of maneuvering a ship, but his parents refused to allow him to obtain a licence because of the dangerous hordes of jellicent and frillish that were rumored to make boats disappear if people traveled too far out in flimsy ships. When he was fourteen, Rolf rebelled for the first time by applying for his Boating License exam, and -even worse- passing it.

Though he was initially in a lot of trouble, he was otherwise good-natured and well behaved (or, at the very least, disinterested enough in school to not cause any trouble,) so his parents eventually caved and bought him a small skipper boat, on the condition he would always bring a more experienced sailor with him. This was also due to the fact that pokemon were required to be brought on ship, to ward off hostile wild pokemon, but Rolf wasn't all too interested in owning one. Why bother, when other people could take guard duty while he was at the helm? Soon, sailing became his life. He would wake early in the morning and spend entire nights out on the water, never venturing far, but soon strange weather began to wrack all of Unova, including little Undella Town.

He was sixteen when, amidst a storm, Rolf and his supervisor were washed up onto a sandbank far north of Unova. There, it was foggy, and accounts differ on what happened. The rain was coming down hard, so maybe it was in his eyes, they said. Maybe you imagined it all, they said. They all agreed that there was a horde of jellicent that crowded around them, ready to drag them all down underwater to the hellish 'castle' of theirs built of sunken ships and decorated with the remains of fallen humans. In the shadow of evening, through a rainstorm and a veil of fog, Rolf saw a large pokemon, looking to be made out of slime, rise from the depths of the ocean. It was upon later reasearch that he learned that the pokemon called Goodra looked a lot like the mysterious creature.

It was too dark to make out colors, except for the glowing green of its eyes. In addition, it appeared to be bioluminescent, having illuminated spots along its back and tail. It could have very well could have been a Goodra; but wild goodra or its kin had never been spotted within the premises of Unova. More than that, though, the goodra towered high over them, the size of a skyscraper. Several hundred feet tall at maximum, it stomped and thrashed around their ship, the wake of its havoc pushing them closer, back to Undella Town.

From that day, he couldn't stop thinking about what he had seen. Concerned that he would spend days reasearching without sleeping or eating, his parents enlisted him in a program to assist some nearby pokemon researchers who were studying the locale, hoping that it would sate him. It did not. Rolf couldn't help going on his boat, the S.S. Summer Wind, every time there was a storm, if only to recreate the situation on which he first encountered the pokemon. He spent hours floating around the sandbanks, even though there were many dangerous pokemon in the area. He couldn't stop thinking that he had discovered something- be it a new pokemon or simply a strange mutation- and he wanted to find out exactly what.

The experience changed a lot about him. No longer were pokemon part of the everyday; there were so many things that he couldn't figure out. He was so sure that all pokemon had been researched and documented, because of the vast information troves that were kept in databases around the world. Yet, even as he searched everywhere, there was no documentation of anything that was close to what he had seen that night. He was interested in pokemon, especially the potential that what he had seen as a potential hybrid of Goodra and something else.

To this end, he became much more excited about pokemon, copying experiments he had seen or read about with the local wildlife and even the pokemon he had at home- he had never applied for a trainer's license in Unova, as the trainer life didn't appeal to him since he would be spending a lot of time away from his beloved boat, so he simply kept the pokemon sated with food. He made sure to document his findings, and even uploaded a few of his findings onto his blog, though there wasn't much that he found.

Once he turned seventeen, he was out of school and told his parents that he wanted to research pokemon for the rest of his life. Thinking he was being irrational, they asked him to think about joining the Firefighter's Academy, but he remained adamant that he needed some time to chase after his own future. Relenting, they allowed him to leave on the S.S. Summer Wind with a friend, their plan to sail to Castelia and find jobs there, hopefully being accepted into a university. Rolf was unable to sail his ship alone because he still hadn't ever obtained his Unovan Trainer Card.

On the voyage, his partner fell asleep and Rolf saw a large shadow underneath the ship. Risking everything, he followed it, until it led him straight into a storm. Everything went black, until he awoke in a hospital bed. The police told him he wasn't in any trouble, but they found him lying unconscious on the beach without any Fordis identification and worried that he was the victim of a crime. In fact, they hadn't found him with any items at all, and he had been out cold for several days. They were also persistent that there was no trace of any other castaway or any kind of undocumented boat.

What happened to his traveleing companion and his ship? What could have been the mysterious shadow that he was chasing? Curious and panicked at his situation, but not wanting to prove his parents right, Rolf decided to find some clean clothes and explore the foreign region- in the town called Estoria City. Besides, maybe starting off as a fresh-faced trainer wouldn't be a bad way to start his life.

[Sho Minazuki]

@AbysmalDemon By the way I know you scrapped the spreadsheet, but I think we can keep using just the spreadsheet with all the encounters alone so that we have an idea of what we're allowed to and not allowed to (or can't possibly) encounter in the area we arrive to. I have one you can use as a base.

Idea will be players will check the spreadsheet themselves and see what would be in their area... Kind of like picking out of a menu I guess, this way no one has to wait for anything really.

I don't see any fun in going to the first 2-3 areas and suddenly catching your solid team.
