Name: Adolphian Volkov
Age: 25
Pronouns: He/Him/His
Trainer Type: Scientist/Doctor
Hometown: Region of Stahlblatt, settlement of Anfangstown.
Appearance: (As I have no proper ref for him, we shall go with a written description.) Adolphian stands at roughly 170 centimetres(5 feet, 7 inches). He is rather meek and lithe, having a sort of mouse-like air to him. His skin is pale with a slight blue-purple tint to him. His eyes are a bright cyanish colour and almost seem to glow when he's experiencing intense emotion, though they're almost always hidden behind a ruby red visor. His hair is brown with streaks of red and green, reminiscent of rainbow eucalyptus. Finally, he wears a black labcoat with a dark blue undershirt. On his lapel he has a brass pin in the shape of some sort of planet with a comet burning overhead. Overlaid onto the planet pin is the letters NCI in a metallic white, with the I tucked into the C. His trousers are black and he wears a pair of black work boots with blue laces. Oh his right cheek is an oddly isometric birthmark in a slightly bluish colour, shaped like a revive. Finally, his right hand is mechanical. However, it is almost always covered with a glove with a sparkling crystal embedded into the dorsum area.
Personality: Adolphian is typically analytical and cold, treating strangers with distrust and suspicion. However, if someone were to suffer an injury, he'd jump into action and attempt to treat them as best as he could. Though he's generally fearful of people upon first meeting them, he loathes to see people in pain and will do what he can to ensure their safety and returning them to what they were doing previously. However, once one gets to know him and gain his trust, while still cold, he shows a fragile sort underneath. Otherwise kind and caring, he puts on a visage of ice as a defence mechanism. Once one learns about the Adolphian underneath the nevermeltice, they'd find a damaged man who simply makes measures to reduce getting hurt further. In fact, he's quite protective over those he cares about and will show little mercy to those who take enjoyment in those he deems innocent. While he dislikes most people however, he has a great passion for Pokemon. He has a sort of affinity with them and has a tendency to go into the wild simply to be around Pokemon.
History: Adolphian comes from a rather unique region. He was born at the end of a great war between the two great powers of the 'great crater island' and though he was young, witnessing the two regions of Eisenblatt and Rukala unite and form Stahlblatt as it is known today left a great mark on him. He went from following his parents and hiding in a bunker to hide from attacking Pokemon outfitted for war to witnessing a nation rebuild itself under the ideals of unity. As he came of age, his initial goal was to work in a laboratory. Eventually, he got an apprenticeship under the regional professor, known simply as Doktor Hertz, due to his experiments in electricity. For a long time, the only Pokemon Adolphian had were a Shinx gifted to him by the professor, and a Vulpix, whom he found wounded in the wilderness and subsequently nursed back to health.
However, disaster struck when one of the professor's experiments went horribly wrong. He attempted to utilize an unusually energetic type of crystals found in the caves of Stahlblatt and in a catastrophic event, the laboratory was left naught but a pile of rubble while the two were still working. While the professor remarkably suffered only minor injuries, Adolphian was left with major injuries and brain damage which was eventually overcome. Due to the damage to his hand and an unfortunate rapidly spreading infection, his right hand had to be amputated. Fortunately however, he was able to get it replaced with an advanced robotic. Due to damage to his cardiac system, he also had to get a cardiac regulator installed. While it certainly helps his heart, it does mean powerful electric shocks are dangerous to him. Regrettably, he saw the worst of people during his recovery and was often verbally abused and bullied due to both his difficulties in speech and changes after the incident.
Following his recovery, he attempted to avoid physical contact as much as possible, his only contacts being his co-workers and the occasional check-up by doctors who wished to view his recovery. It wasn't until an old colleague and close friend of his made contact. Evilane, as she was called, had always had a great interest in the trainer lifestyle and took the first chance she had to travel the world. After returning to Stahlblatt, she had revealed to Adolphian that she had made incredible progress in her career as a trainer and had become revered across the world as a champion-level trainer, and a darn good one at that. With Evilane's encouragement, Adolphian finally ended his partial isolation and decided to take the life of a trainer more seriously. He took on a few new party members and while he never went more than a party of 6, he knew that he had to make his old friend proud. One day, he'd challenge her to a battle, and even if he lost, he'd show not just her, but the entire world just how much he'd grown since then. The world is but a stage, and the doctor-turned-trainer was going to shine!
Goals: After the fateful encounter with Evilane, Adolphian has become dedicated to growing the abilities of both himself as a trainer and raising a powerful team. He dreams of challenging her to a battle, and thus came to
Team: Female Ninetales, nickname Kitsi.
Endurance: D-
Power: C+
Speed: B+
Adaptability: D+
Potential: C
Personality: Kitsi is incredibly affectionate and definitely the leader figure of the group. While Adolphian attempts to remain distant from others, Kitsi often attempts to put a spanner in the works, so to speak. She will attempt to encourage both her trainer and fellow team members to interact with others, even going as far to try to get into a bit of trouble to get Adolphian to interact. With younger Pokemon, she acts as a sort of motherly figure, giving affection and care, especially if she feels they're lonely. However if she feels as though a trainer is treating their Pokemon improperly(god forbid she meets an abusive trainer), she'll attempt to avoid them. If they attempt interaction, she'll glare at them and refuse to battle, even if challenged. She's not much of a fan of battling, however, she will battle if it's a simple friendly spar. And if someone who she deems worthy is in danger, she'll do everything possible to convince her trainer and team to protect them. Though not a powerful battler, she's skilled in trickery and tries to outwit her opponents in battle.
Female Luxray, nickname Don Krieger(alteration of the words 'Warrior of Thunder' in German. Original is 'Krieger der donner').
Endurance: B
Power: B-
Speed: A
Adaptability: D-
Potential: B+
Personality: Don, while protective of Adolphian like the others, reflects his distance. Unless Adolphian trusts someone, she'll attempt to minimize interaction with others. She's quiet and her bright red eyes pierce into one as if she can see straight through them, and considering her unique vision, it's very possible she could. Luxray are said to have xray vision and she certainly does. While affectionate towards her trainer, even trainers that he trusts are much less likely to recieve positive attention as any of his other Pokemon. Ever since the incident, she's remained by the side of Adolphian and will protect him and the rest of his team, even if it endangers her life. When battling, she can be a bit reckless, heading into battles at full force. However, she's quite intelligent and keen on learning new strategies, so long as it means she can protect her fellow team better.
Male Staraptor, nickname Kielak(named after Artur Kielak, the Polish pilot.)
Endurance: B+
Power: B-
Speed: S-
Adaptability: B
Potential: C+
Kielak is one of Adolphian's most recent additions, having been rescued as a Staravia. He remains loyal to Adolphian, believing life to be safer by his side than remaining a wild Pokemon. While he's not used to battling, he's quite strong and able to take a good few hits before being taken down. While in a friendly battle, he lazes about a bit and doesn't often take battles as seriously as he should. However, he can get quite competitive and when the battles get tough or he wants to show off, he attacks with no mercy. Unfortunately for him, this reckless behavior comes at the risk of himself. He's prone to self damage and even putting risk to the trainers in battle. Adolphian has had to step in to prevent Kielak from 'seeing red' on more than one occasion.
Female Gardevoir, nickname Lekarzie(named after the Polish word for mercy, being Lekarz)
Endurance: D
Power: A+
Speed: B-
Adaptability: S+
Potential: B
Lekarzie is certainly the moral guide of the group. While Kitsi proves quite affectionate to the other members, Lekarzie's abilities as a psychic type as well as her past as the former Pokemon of a retired psychologist leads to her getting an innate understanding of the issues bothering those around her. When not in battle, she often leaves Adolphian's side to help people who she can sense might need someone to talk to, or simply a positive support. However, when she's needed to help in battle, she's a sort of glass cannon. Her attacks are powerful and varied enough that she's useful in a variety of situations. She also has a limited ability to understand her opponent. While in the heat of battle, her foresight isn't too useful, she can at least get an upper hand, especially in trainers who prove to be the slow and calculating type. Though she's quite weak defensively, she does her best to ensure battles are finished as quickly as possible to reduce any potential suffering. She also has strong healing abilities, and though she's unfortunately unable to heal herself, she makes for a fantastic partner for Adolphian during when he is assisting a patient.
Male Lucario, nicknamed Toddbringer(named after the Warhammer Fantasy character. Not really a warhammer fan[it's such an expensive hobby...] but I just want an escuse to go 'I CHOOSE YOU, FUCKING TODDY!')
Endurance: S+
Power: B-
Speed: C
Adaptability: C+
Potential: A+
Personality: Toddbringer is designed like a tank, with a speed to match. He's not very social and tends to prefer to sit quietly and observe, giving the occasional vocalization when necessary. He's the calm and calculated type, his mind analytical and spending time to observe. With Lekarzie's help as a communicator, he's assisted Adolphian with his research and studies. Ever since he hatched from an egg, he's always taken an interest in Adolphian's work and aspires to help him in any way possible. Though not big on battling, he takes each battle as an opportunity to learn. He might struggle with a trainer on the first match, a rematch allows him to utilize what he learned the first time and press any weaknesses he finds. While all the Pokemon in the team have a necklace with a crystal taken from the Stahlblatt caverns as a means of identification, Toddbringer's chest horn has been embedded with a crystal tip. Though Adolphian would claim that it's natural, it was Toddbringer's idea after the tip of the horn broke off during a particularly intense fight.
Female Meowstic with the appearance of a Male, nickname Herzinfarkt(German for 'heart attack', named so due to the fact it would have given Adolphian a heart attack upon their first meeting if he didn't have a cardiac regulator. Poor guy got jumpscared by the bloody thing.)
Endurance: C-
Power: B+
Speed: S
Adaptability: C
Potential: B-
Personality: Herzinfarkt is quite a tricksy creature. Originally coming from the arboreal forests of low Stahlblatt, she took notice of Adolphian during his many trips alone. Taking an interest in the unusual scientist, she watched him from a distance. Unusually, though she was female, she appeared male. Being a unique anomaly, she was no stranger to sciency types wishing to capture her for study. However, Adolphian was different. He never captured Pokemon against their will, unlike other trainers. He had an aura to him that she'd never seen in a trainer as well. As such, she eventually decided to sneak up on the unsuspecting trainer and jumped him, trying to gauge how he'd react. Of course, she scared the living daylights out of him. And after eventually convincing him to take her with him on his journey, she uses her same trickery to fool opponents. Her psychic abilities allow her to use a variety of means to confuse and disorient her opponents using things from mind games to illusions. When she's managed to get her foe confused enough, she strikes at them with her powerful attacks. Though she's not as well liked by the rest of the team due to her tendency to play pranks on them, she's seen as more of a goofball than any sort of annoyance.
