Nasir's true form is a rather normal looking Zoroark, if a bit taller than usual. A beautiful silver chain can be seen around his neck, sparkling black stones embedded within it. Before he was registered to Devon, Nasir masqueraded as a human swordsman for quite some time. Though he will still occasionally take this appearance, he is much more comfortable with his true form when he's in the presence of his Trainer.
When taking on a human guise, his long, black hair is pulled back in a high ponytail, with a few stray bangs framing his features. His eyes are a piercing blue, matching his true form's color. He typically wears a black suit with a long jacket, and a katana by his side. The katana is merely an illusion until he enters combat, in which case the illusion would mask the energy created by Night Slash. As a human, Nasir would appear around 5'10", with an age roughly between 18 and 25 from a glance.
Personality: Though he might appear cold, Nasir is a rather warm, friendly individual when he opens himself up. That said, he spent a large majority of his life not speaking with humans, and usually stays rather quiet. He has a weakness for children and those in need. This Zoroark is fiercely loyal to those he cares about, and will go to great lengths to both defend their honor and lives. Given how he was accustomed to the role of a caregiver in the past, he does not shy away from scolding his Trainer, or others he feels a close connection to. For better or worse.

Golden locks flow down Olivier's shoulders in varying lengths, some portions of it braided off to the side. From first appearances, from his large, feminine eyes, to his delicate features, it's safe to assume that Olivier is a young woman. However, he would be seen wearing a male academy uniform.
Gender: Intersex [Male]
Age: 17
Personality: Olivier suffers from many deep-seeded insecurities, and as such can be emotionally volatile. At his core, he is a genuinely sweet, caring individual who simply craves to be accepted by his peers. He is incredibly competitive, however unless he feels his competency is being challenged, he can keep such feelings in check.
His weakness is cute Pokémon and babies. Cute baby Pokémon are SUPER EFFECTIVE!
Hometown/Region: Anistar City
History: Olivier grew up attending a variety of boarding schools. As soon as he was old enough, his parents shipped him away and never looked back. He attended school in Lumiose City for many years before being accepted into The Kobukan Academy of Advanced Pokémon Arts & Sciences.
Excelling in his studies, he was urged by his teacher to enroll in their field study program, which sent him out to a region of his choosing to train for a few months to a year before returning. With his now-evolved Kirlia—which was provided by the school for a final project of sorts—he is determined to be the very best.
Pokémon
Libra ♂
Ability: Trace
Lucius ♂
Ability: Blaze
Other: Olivier has anorchism, a developmental disorder causing him to essentially appear as a prepubescent female. Unlike many with anorchism, Olivier does strongly identify as a male.
Since Olivier had few friends at school, he spent much of his time running battle simulations. As such, he's an incredibly skillful tactician.
Shinra's absolutely beautiful. /thread This is totally a placeholder.
Species: Ninetales Ability: Snow Warning Hometown/Region: Johto - Ecruteak (Originally from Alola)
Moveset: TBA
Personality: Shinra is a stalwart defender of Ecruteak City and its Bell Tower. For this reason, the Ninetales has grown to mistrust humans, though he will not jump to conclusions hastily. To most, he is gentle, if not a bit narcissistic.
For canons that allow more than four moves, these are Shinra's known moves. Adding more as soon as I know what to expect from SuMo.
Personality: Strong-willed and intelligent, Gladion has been hardened by his experiences. Though cold and aloof, his rough exterior hides a kind, caring person. He is especially protective of his partners and sister, however this attitude extends to anyone he forms a bond with. With a surly and cynical disposition, it's difficult for Gladion to cut loose, even if the source of his misery has been, for the most part, defeated. Though he's been able to take losses with considerably more grace than he used to, he's still quite self-critical, and strives to become a formidible Trainer.
Hometown/Region: Aether Paradise, Alola
History: Gladion's childhood was relatively normal for the first several years of his life. His mother and father were loving, caring parents, but they were often absent; leaving Gladion and his sister, Lillie, in the care of others.
His father was the head scientist of the Aether Foundation, an organization dedicated to the preservation of injured Pokémon. However, in the interests of keeping their organization afloat, they heavily invested in their research. Gladion's father, Professor Mohn, was a cutting-edge scientist, diving into the fields of the unknown. A strange portal to another world was discovered, and even more terrifyingly, occasionally dangerous Pokémon would appear from them. The professor sought to uncover the mysteries of the Ultra Wormhole.
Before his research was completed, Mohn was lost to the very thing he studied. The Aether Foundation began their project Type: Full in order to combat the extraterrestrial threats. In the process, Gladion's mother, Lusamine, was driven mad.
Her insanity became increasingly apparent as time passed. It was almost as if something corrupted her being, amplifying her negative traits. The Type: Full project was soon deemed a failure by the Foundation (and renamed Type: Null), however Gladion knew that if his mother planned to force open an Ultra Wormhole, this project was the only chance he had at stopping her.
Breaking into a high-security lab, Gladion successfully liberated a cryogenically frozen Type: Null. However, he would soon discover the percise reason for the projects failure; the chimeric creature was driven to madness, and was volatile, and uncontrollable. Gladion was determined to prove its creators wrong, and liberate the feral Pokémon, turning it into the Beast Killer it was designed to be. Grievously wounded, but not disheartened, Gladion took Type: Null with him as he left Aether Paradise.
Gladion began working for Team Skull in the interest of supporting himself financially while finding a way to free Type: Null from its restraints. He would go on working for them as an Enforcer for two years until they made the mistake of kidnapping his sister.
Working with the eventual Champion of the Alola Region, they managed to rescue his sister, however they were not able to thwart his mother's grand scheme. Lusamine was taken in by an Ultra Wormhole, along with Team Skull's leader. With his mother in an entirely different dimension, Gladion was left with no way to stop her. Leaving a Moon Flute in the care of his newly found friend, Gladion entrusted the future of Alola to a powerful trainer.
Aether Paradise was left in shambles, and without a president. The president they had was filled with corruption, using the Foundation in ways contrary to its initial purpose. Gladion then dedicated himself to rebuilding the Foundation's core from the ground up.
