[hider=Jason] [center][h1]Blader[/h1][hr][/center] [b]Name[/b]: Jason Connor [b]Nickname[/b]: Blader [b]Age[/b]: 23 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Hometown[/b]: Jubilife City [b]Appearance[/b]: Jason stands at six feet tall with azure eyes and snow white hair. He wears a red muscle tee with blue jeans and a pair of black hiking boots. He wears his katana strapped to his waist and has a lean, muscular build. [b]Personality[/b]: Jason considers himself a Blade Master in the making, and has always had a fascination with swords and the attached skills. He's calm and generally very quiet, liking to learn what he can about someone or their problems before offering advice or deciding how the are. He cares deeply for his Pokemon and the feeling is returned. He often spends time training with his Pokemon personally, making sure that they're always ready for anything as well as keeping himself in shape. Once he calls someone friend, he'll protect them with his life and won't stand for any harm, be it verbal or physical, befall them. When he practices alone, it’s usually with a katana. [b]Biography[/b]: Jason was born to a couple who had only been married a couple years, but who had not wasted time setting their lives on the right track. Within the first six months, the pair had bought an old Renaissance Fair that had, by all rights, been on its last legs. Many of the performers had left and found work in higher paying areas of their expertise, had forgotten why they worked the Fair in the first place, and it was the joy they brought others. Several internal interviews later revealed several more potential dropouts, who were given a final paycheck and a gentle boot to the metaphorical curb before the work to restore the Fair began. It was a year and a half after their marriage that the reinvigorated fair reopened, though Charlotte and Reginold had found out three months prior that Charlotte was pregnant. And thus, Jason Connor came along. From the age of three, when he began to show an understanding of what was going on around him, he was drawn not to the cheers and horse whinnies of the jousting arena, much to his mother’s relief, but to the clangs and cheers of the sword duels. He found himself enthralled by the scene and as he grew older, began looking into learning how to wield one himself. His mother encouraged this, telling stories about knights and their companion Pokemon, such as Sir Earnhert and his Bisharp, who became a Blademaster of his time, unparalleled in sword combat by any but another master.. Enthralled, it wasn’t long before a young Jason began his own quest to become a Blademaster in a modern time. First was the forging of his blade of choice, a katana, though he spent the time it was being forged practicing with a wooden one or out exploring, honing his reflexes. It was about when he reached age ten that he was out exploring a field when he was jumped by a group of angry wild Rattatas. They knocked the startled young man to the ground and began to Scratch him mercilessly. A young Ralts, who had been passing by on his hunt for food, heard the commotion and came to his rescue, and that's when he met Slayer. The young man returned home with Slayer, feeling a connection to the young Ralts. With the katana finished forging shortly after, his father began helping him learn how to use a sword and, through intense training, he forged a powerful bond with Slayer and other Pokemon. He was traveling the world, looking to perfect his blade techniques and become the first true Blademaster of a new world, searching for Latios in an effort to learn how to increase his speed and agility, when the strange wormhole sent him to Earth and turned his life upside down. Pokemon Team [hider=Gallade (Slayer)] Personality: Slayer is a leader type Pokemon, always willing to take charge and make sure things get done. As a result, he is often at odds with Gaia. He also is perhaps the most patient on the whole team, able to tolerate any insults that occur from butting heads with Gaia and put up with Prankster's "jokes" better than anyone else. He likes to watch for his opponent to make a mistake, remaining on the defensive until he can spot an opening in his opponents movements. When he does, he strikes hard and fast, making his opponent suffer. He often uses double team to ensure the strike lands as intended. He sees himself as Jason's protector after the event with the Rattatas.[/hider] [hider=Absol (Gaia)] Personality: Gaia is another leader personality and she often has issues with Slayer for it. However, she's very loyal to Jason, especially since he helped her recover from a defeat at a Zangoose’ hands, and is always willing to compromise with Slayer. Has a short temper and often lashes out at Prankster when he pulls a prank on her, usually involving his Substitute move and Fly. Will use Razor Wind to keep her opponent on the defensive until she can get close enough to strike with Shadow Claw or Night Slash to finish the fight.[/hider] [hider=Garchomp (Crunch)] Personality: Crunch is the forward attack aspect of the team, usually leading the way with his slash in double battles or striking against his foe quickly and without warning with Dig. He also tends to be a bit easily excited, unlike others of his species, who tend to be more aggressive. He tends to stand up for Prankster when Gaia flips her lid on him, and is a mediator for conflicts in the team.[/hider] [hider=Kabuto (Tracer)] Personality: Tracer is both a fighter and a lover, using his love for his friends to fuel him in a fight, helping him to win against even impossible odds. When he isn't in the heat of battle, he's trying to woo female of similar type into mating with him, or at least going out on a date. Unfortunately, he gets turned down a lot so he isn't the most happy Pokemon around. However, he's still happy enough to interact with the rest of the team. He also acts as the team’s water transport.[/hider] [hider=Skarmory (Prankster)] Personality: Prankster's name is born from his and Jason's first meeting, a playful joke involving his Substitute and a hole a Diglett friend of his had made and covered with leaves. Jason, in his urgency to help the fake Skarmory, fell into the hole and landed on the soft dirt bed beneath. Laughing as he climbed out, he spotted the real one, who quickly took a liking to Jason. He serves as the hit and run master of team, confusing his opponent with his Substitute and then going for the KO.[/hider] [hider=Lucario (Lucky)] Personality: Lucky is so named because when he was a Riolu, he'd been left for dead by a rather nasty trio of Mankeys. Laying in the road in the rain when Jason found him, Jason took him in and raised him, helping him regain his strength and then grow stronger. Despite Jason's best efforts, however, he refuses to be a social aspect of the team, instead preferring to remain alone and train. He's the jack of all trades, able to hit a foe from any distance and make the feel it. Has a strong dislike for Gaia for her being an Absol, but often simply ignores it. He is the guard of the group, watching over the others while they rest and protecting them from harm in any way possible.[/hider][/hider] [hr] [hider=Forest] [center][h1]Jedi[/h1][hr][/center] [b]Name[/b]: Forest Hunt [b]Nickname[/b]: Jedi [b]Age[/b]: 25 [b]Gender[/b]: Male [b]Hometown[/b]: Payette, Idaho [b]Appearance[/b]: [img]https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/59731fb9-facd-492d-a0a3-82cc7e057027.jpg[/img] [b]Personality[/b]: Forest is a somewhat reserved person who’s rather good at socializing, but has trouble making friends that last. For the few that do stick by him despite his strangeness, he’s loyal and honest, not to mention fiercely protective. [b]Biography[/b]: Born in Ketchikan, Alaska to a mother who’d not yet graduated high school and a father who had no interest in being a dad at a young age, but he was still very loved. He spent much of his early life on the move, vaguely recalling moving between La Grande, Oregon, Vale, Oregon, and Ketchikan for the first couple of years of his life. Finally, his grandparents, and mother settled in two different towns, his grandparents in Vale and he and his mother in La Grande. It was there that she met Forest’s stepdad. The two dated until he was four, when they got married, with the young Forest Hunt as the ringbearer. He retained his mother’s maiden name when the two got married and until he was a teenager, he and his father got along. However, when he was older, he got into Pokemon, with his first game being Fire Red. He wasted no time in backtracking to play both Generation One and Two games, falling in love with Crystal and Yellow respectively. And while he did play other games besides Pokemon, he always returned to the pocket monsters whenever he needed something that didn’t make him want to grind his teeth in frustration. The last game he played was Pokemon Pearl, before calling it quits on the series due to a sense of forced ideas he got from subsequent games like X and Y, but returned to it for a round with Heart Gold, which became another of his favorites. When the brief but powerful storm hit, he was in his room doing some indoor workouts while also binge watching the Pokemon Anime. Afterwards, he began hearing some rumors about people seeing creatures like Pokemon, but, until he saw a group of Marill floating down the Snake River, he didn’t believe any of them. After words, he wasted no time in applying for the test to become a trainer and then soon began studying up on the generations he missed. The addition of the Fairy Type has somewhat thrown off his game, but it hasn’t stopped him from trying to get things learned and has so far done a good job with help from his wife, who encourages him to keep going even when he wants to quit.
