[b]Name:[/b] Henrietta Durand

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Age:[/b] 24

[b]Appearance:[/b] Henrietta is fairly tall for a woman at 5’ 10" and is made even taller by the high heeled boots she habitually wears. Life as a trainer keeps her activate, even after settling down as a Overseer, meaning that she is more athletic than one would expect from her at first glance; her arms and legs, when they are visible, are noticeably toned with muscle. Her skin is naturally pale and she has short dark-brown hair and dark-brown eyes; she keeps her hair on one longer than the rest, styling it to fall in wavy locks on one side of her face, dyed with a gradient that starts as dark brown and transitions to caramel at the tips.

[b]Personality:[/b] Above all else Henrietta is someone who always seems to display a level of quiet confidence. There is self-assuredness to the way she moves and the way she conducts herself which is displayed in the straightness of her posture, the tilt of her chin and the little knowing smile she often wears; she has a certain poise to her that is hard to describe until you see it for yourself. Whatever impression you get from her however, it is clear that she doesn’t consider herself to be anyone’s lesser.

Henrietta is driven by an aggressive determination which pushes her to move forward no matter who or what is in her way, something which is apparent both in the way she battles and the way she interacts with others. She has a forceful personality and isn’t easily swayed by others; once she has set her mind to something there is little that can divert her unless she makes that decision herself. This can be to her advantage, but it also means she has a bad habit of ignoring the concerns or needs of others.

She feels strongly about things and her emotions tend to be clearly on display, which can get her into trouble or rub people the wrong way. Her temper burns hot but is also short-lived, her mood can be changed drastically by small things but never for too long; she can come across as mercurial at times.

[b]Background:[/b] Hailing from the sleepy town of Kronos, Henrietta was born and raised a farm girl. Her parents own and ran a small farm on the outskirts of the town, growing mostly wheat which they would harvest each year with the help of their Pokémon before selling it on to another family to be ground into flour and then sold on again to other towns and cities to be sold in stores. Like most families from that area they were old fashioned and traditional, preferring the use of Pokémon and manual labour to modern farming equipment; they led a quiet, slow life and that was how they preferred thing.

Henrietta did not.

The quiet, quaint way life was lived in Kronos town was anathema to the young girl, who desperately sought a way out and was drawn to the one source of excitement that the town offered; the trainers who came to the town to challenge the Overseer. With nothing else to work with and no other idea of where to go or what to do, she decided that she would travel and become a Pokémon trainer, packing her bags and taking the Mudbray that her parents had given her to help work the farm to conquer the region.

She did not run away from home; that would imply she was secretive about it. Instead she boldly proclaimed to her parents that she would leave to become a trainer and marched out of the town down the main road for all to see.

Life from that point on was exciting and though she did not manage to defeat all eight Overseers and meet the legendary Pokémon atop Mt Calagon as she original intended, she did travel across the entire region, see and experience many things on a journey that eventually led her back close to home and the city of Zhivegas. The Overseer at the time was looking to retire and to find a replacement; Henrietta was in the right place at the right time to be that person and at the age of 22, only six years after leaving home, she become the new Overseer.

[b]Name:[/b] Timothy Thorne

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Age:[/b] 17

[b]Appearance:[/b] Timothy is a little on the short side at only 5’ 6” but makes up for that with an abundance of energy instead. He is physically fit, believing that a trainer must work as hard as their Pokémon and lead by example to succeed. His pale skin is contrasted by his black hair and equally dark eyes; brown, but a shade so dark they appear black at a glance. In terms of clothing he prefers things that are touch and durable, so as to last a while on the road; the only exception to this is his muffler, a red and black scarf given to him by someone important.

[b]Personality:[/b] In a nutshell, you could describe Timothy as a hot-headed youth with a chip on his shoulder; energetic and boisterous, he is someone with a lot of passion whose quick temper can often get the better of him. His passion serves him well when it drives him to put effort into a task or when he needs to overcome setbacks, but has also served to alienate him from his peers due to the number of fights he has gotten into with them.

This has led him to  become intensely loyal to those who have stuck by him in turn, which for the most part is just his Pokémon; should he make other friends they too will be able to always count on him to take their side, right or wrong.

[b]Background:[/b] Growing up in Mercer town, famous for being the home of the illustrious Professor Cypress’ lab, Timothy was constantly exposed to the opinion that Dragon-type Pokémon were the best ever; an opinion that Timothy didn’t really share. It wasn’t like he disliked dragons, he just didn’t have the same enthusiasm and reverence for them that the rest of the Kaidan region seemed to have for them and that often led to him getting into arguments as a child; kids will argue about anything after all and Timothy was always someone to let his temper get the better of him.

Like many young boys, Timothy wanted to become a trainer. Unlike most, he grew up in the same town as a genuine Professor of Pokémon and as such could have had the opportunity of receiving a rare and powerful starter to begin his journey with a head start. Unfortunately, the professor in question was just as dragon-obsessed as the rest of the region and the only starters he offered were Dragon-types. After years of stubbornly defending the idea that dragons were overrated, his pride wouldn’t let him accept a Dragon-type as a starter. Instead he saved up his money to buy a Pokéball, went into the woods on the outskirts of town and caught himself a Pokémon of his own.

With his own starter Pokémon in tow, he set out on his own to become a trainer, aiming to defeat all eight overseers and make it to the top of Mt Calagon without a single Dragon-type Pokémon on his team just to prove a point.

So far, it hasn’t gone well.
Becoming a trainer was harder than he expected and the Pokémon he caught was young and not particularly strong at first. Despite leaving home a full year ago, he is barely in the same league as a trainer just starting their journey and has only managed to catch a single other Pokémon. He has yet to challenge the first overseer and currently doesn’t feel like he would stand much of a chance against them even if he did.

Things have been getting better recently however, as not too longer ago he met up with someone who told him about a group of people who had opinions similar to himself; people who disliked the dragon-revering culture of the Kaidan region as much, if not more than he did. They, like him, wanted to reach Mt Calagon so that they could change people’s opinions and were willing to sponsor trainers like himself to do just that if they joined their group.

Now that he has joined Team Star, Timothy thinks that things are going to start turning around for him.
