So sorry it took so long to make these. Life kinda got in the way. If you're still accepting please look at them. If not sorry for bothering you. [hider=Joshua Tamashii] Name: Joshua Tamashii Age: 19 Appearance: [img]http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100216033302/finalfantasy/images/f/f0/Noctis-render.png[/img] Minus the sword, obviously Trainer Class: Ace Trainer/Gym Leader-in-training Personality: Joshua can best be described as a lone-wolf or an anti-hero type of person. He is rude, cold, sarcastic, and slightly short-tempered when first meeting people, and that's if he even bothers to respond to you in the first place. He seems to enjoy his personal space (which apparently has a rather big radius) and would rather be alone with his Pokemon then with another human being, even if said human is just trying to be friendly. This, however, is just an image he projects. Inside he's actually a bit of a softy, willing to talk with others and more then willing to give them a hand. He is downright loyal to those he considers friends and is always willing to put aside his own goals to help them, even if his current goal is something he has pursued for a very long time. He truly desires to have friends, but he just has a hard time communicating his feeling with others. With a little effort, you just might find one of the best friends you've ever had in him. In battle Joshua is adaptable and ruthless, aiming for his opponents weaknesses and only using offensive moves, with little concern for defense and status-buffing moves. He aims to take his opponent down as quickly as possible. In his mind the best defense is a good offense, and his battling style reflects this. Backstory: Joshua was born in Ecruteak Town in the Johto Region. His early childhood was very uneventful, only consisting of school, chores, playing with his older siblings, and whatever kids did at that age and time. When he finally reached the age of ten he set out on his pokemon journey, choosing Cyndaquil as his starter. Struggling at first, as most first-time trainers do, he eventually found his stride, and his battling style, and began winning badges from the Johto gym-leaders. The journey took Joshua a total of five years to complete, with him taking his time and not pushing himself too hard. While he managed to make it to the League, Joshua ultimately did not win but began the journey home with his head held high nonetheless. On his way home, while traveling through Illex forest at night, Joshua received a glimpse of a pokemon he had never seen before. Completely black, vaguely humanoid, and with what appeared to be smoke with a single blue eye for a head, the pokemon attacked Joshua, who called out his best companions. Despite their best efforts, Joshua and his pokemon ultimately lost to the mysterious foe, but damaged it enough that it fled away, flying between the trees of the forest. When Joshua finally made it back to Ecruteak Town, he threw himself into researching and finding out what pokemon had defeated him so easily. It didn't take him long to find out it was Darkrai, the legendary Dark-type pokemon of the Lunar Duo. Up until now, Joshua hadn't encountered many Dark-type pokemon and those he had didn't interest him at the time. How he found himself fascinated with them and studying them. Due to this he studied the regions of Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and Kalos, to find out what dark-types were there and their strengths and weaknesses. This facination lead to Joshua eventually realizing he had a goal that didn't involve him being champion: he now wanted to open a gym that focused on dark-type pokemon, something he saw lacking in the other regions. When word reached his ears of a new region that didn't seem to have a league, or gym leaders. Seeing an oppurtunity, Joshua left the region and took the first flight to the new Saro region, where he would start anew and prove himself worthy of being a gym leader. Favorite Pokemon Type: Dark-type pokemon or those that can evolve into Dark-types. My favorite color... Black or blue. Not really sure which. Other: [/hider] [hider=Amelia Averyonna] Name: Amelia Alison Averyonna Age: 11 Appearance: [img]http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/8300000/Rin-Kagamine-Vocaloid-Wallpaper-vocaloids-8316875-1024-768.jpg[/img] Minus the headphone, ribbon, and arm warmers. Trainer Class: Lass I guess. Personality: Having been sheltered most of her life Amelia is a shy, naive but curious and lively young girl who lacks in the self-confidence department. Having little to no social interaction with the outside world, Amelia tends to shy away from other people and avoid talking to them. When she does talk to someone she'll often look at the ground and speak in a quiet tone, making it hard for others to hear her. When she is alone, or with her pokemon, she is a bit more lively and shows more energy. Having never seen the outside world she is easily filled with wanderlust and can be distracted by even the smallest of things. This can also lead to her being a bit overly curious as she tries to figure out whatever has her attention at the time. Amelia is also a very artistically talented girl, who is able to sing and draw with skill well beyond what is normally capable of children her age. However she lacks confidence in her work and often tries to hide it from others, even if those people have seen and complimented on it before. As a result she often practices when she thinks she's alone and uses her talents as a means to calm herself down when she's upset. When it comes to battling, Amelia prefers to avoid it. All she wants to do it enjoy her freedom and have fun times with her companions. As such, she'll avoid battles as much as she can. If she can't avoid it, she will battle others, but seeing as she has never been in a battle before, she doesn't have much experience to draw upon. Backstory: Amelia is the heiress of the Averyonna family, a rich family from Johto. Her father is a business tycoon and current owner of the Goldenrod Department Store, while her mother is a world famous pokemon coordinator. Surprisingly, not much is known about the couple's only daughter. In fact, most of the world doesn't know that Amelia even exist. From her early life, Amelia had always been a sheltered child. She was never allowed to leave her families estate and when she wanted something, one of the servants would go get it for her. While she was able to freely play in the large backyard, she was never allowed contact with anyone her age and as such, she never had any friends to speak of. When she turned six, her parents began sending instructors to see her and educate her on subjects most children usually learned in at school. Most of the instructors where strict and pushed the young girl hard, forcing her to learn at an accelerated pace. When the child didn't meet their standards she was often talked down upon and pushed even harder, making her miserable. When she turned eight, Amelia began sneaking out of the estate to explorer a little of the outside world. The estate was located near Johto's daycare center, and as such, the child was often found there, playing with the various pokemon trainers dropped off. She found it easier to talk to the creatures then to humans and often made fast friends with them. She had so much fun there that she often snuch out when she was supposed to be having a lesson, something which didn't go unnoticed by her instructors and parents. When they found out where she was spending her time and how she got out of the estate, they quickly blocked her only exit and stopped her from going to the daycare. After three more years of misery, some of the servants of the castle, who had grown sorry for her, helped Amelia escape from her prison. They smuggled her outside of the estate before presenting her with a bag of supplies and a ticket to the new Saro region. Thanking them and hoping they wouldn't get fired for helping her, Amelia quickly bourded the plane and set off to enjoy her new found freedom. Favorite Pokemon Type: Pokemon that make her feel safe and happy. Mostly dog- and large cat-looking pokemon Other: My favorite color... black or blue. Not really sure which. [/hider]
