Bio
"No one can escape the fate given to them. All that remains is the end, where you will all perish. Eternal greatness exists only within myself. Sing a song of sorrow in a world where time has vanished."
"You think you stand a chance against Eden Steel?!"
NAME: Joseph Johannes is his real name, and his stage name is Eden Steel
AGE: 27
GENDER: Male
BIRTHPLACE: Hammerlocke
GYM TYPE: Steel
APPEARANCE: Sporting his favorite yellow jacket and blue jeans, Joseph stands in at "6'4, towering above most others. While the bright blonde hair and the height certainly make him stand out, nothing makes him stand out more than when he's in full costume for his TV superhero persona: Eden Steel.
Eden Steel bears both the sword and the shield, both made of gleaming steel with golden trims. The shield also bears an image of an Aggron. He also wears a set of full plate armor, made of similar shining steel and gold trim, yet on the breastplate lies the face of an Arcanine, roaring defiantly. His helmet covers most of his face, yet a "T" shaped gap in it allows him to see.
PERSONALITY: Joseph himself enjoys occasionally getting into character for his fans, but his real self is all about good sportsmanship, and fairness in everything. He's willing to fight however his opponent decides, singles, doubles, even no dynamaxing. He also has a bit of a knack for food, though he's found himself rambling on occasion.
Eden Steel on the other hand is a vigilant warrior, who fights against all evil, and will do anything to keep the peace. He believes steel is the best type, and it will help him save the world.
BIOGRAPHY: Truth be told there isn't really a whole lot that was significant about Joseph's childhood, apart from a few things. For starters, his parents didn't come from Galar, they were from Johto, and they had moved here for work related reasons. As such, Joseph grew up with a Johto accent, rather than a Galarian one.
Secondly, as a child, Joseph's favorite thing growing up were Saturday morning cartoons. The hero in shining armor would always beat the villan, and the day would be saved. This would eventually shape the future of Joseph's entire life.
At just the age of 14 Joseph managed to score a few acting gigs here and there, constantly trying to improve himself. And eventually, one day, he found himself playing a minor character in a tv show. He wasn't always on screen, but he was finally on TV. It's what he had always wanted.
Unfortunately, due to budget cuts from higher up, the show was cut short. Deciding to take a break from acting, Joseph instead decided to travel Galar, building experience and gaining life skills. Eventually, Joseph decided that taking up a position as a trainer in a gym, would help him more, and at the age of 24, Joseph rose to the top, become a Steel type gym leader. He trained and trained, and was known for taking on any and all opponents, regardless of skill levels, eventually making several separate teams for just that.
But something still nagged at Joseph. His acting career. He felt unfulfilled in his dream, despite being in a successful station. With the earnings he made over a year of battling, Joseph decided to take acting classes, and soon, was making his own TV show. He couldn't just go as himself. He'd need a persona. A new name. Some sort of inspiration.
He spent week after week traveling the region looking for inspiration, before eventually, he came across the mural in Stow-on-Side. The sword, and the shield. That's it! He'd be a knight, in ancient times, wielding the sword and shield, defending against the forces of darkness with his dear pokemon. He would become... Eden Steel.
The show, called Man of Steel, would go on to moderate success at first, with the second season having much more. After the years however, Joseph decided he'd take a small break before season 3, looking for a little more inspiration before starting again. Although, for Joseph, or perhaps Eden, inspiration is just around the corner. With the sudden disappearance of Galar's champion, this may be just the thing he's looking for.
TEAM: Joseph has 9 teams, one for each badge, and his personal team.
His ace pokemon - A Scizor named Ares An Aggron named Athena A Metagross named Dionysus An Aegislash named Zeus A Corviknight names Hermes (Hermes is Joseph's Gigantamax pokemon) And lastly, a Magnezone named Hephaestus.
RELATIONSHIPS: None so far. He's been a little too preoccupied with his own life and his pokemon to have made many friends, but now that he's finally got some free time, he is looking forward to making some.
As the wind whipped wildly through the streets of Cloudgate, making the ends of the bright orange cloth wrapped around Ting dance around, he wandered through the streets, his mind on autopilot. He was about halfway to his old construction job when he suddenly remembered that he needed to go to orientation for the Scorch's guild. He hadn't had any trouble getting there the first time, so it shouldn't be that hard to get back to right?
Well, unfortunately, it was. With the combination of much taller pokemon blinding his sight, as well as his stubby legs not offering him much in the way of speed, he spent a good hour pacing the streets, looking for the entrance to the building. "It's supposed to look like a castle, right? Why the hell's this place so hard to find?" But finally, a bright red flag caught his attention, which he followed to see several more, right by the entrance of the guild. Now the other problem: it's right across a busy street. This would not be fun.
After what felt like an eternity of trying to get through the crowd, and having to say "Excuse me!" and "Sorry!" about a thousand times, he had finally made it across the street. The structure seemed to loom on forever to him, now that he had the time to take a better look at it. It looked like it would've taken decades to build. But that was enough about the outside. It was time to head in and begin his new life. Or so he hoped.
Inside the building sat several other pokemon, many of them seeming to be crowded around a buneary handing out something. Perhaps it was worth investigating? Taking a few slow steps forward he inspected further, eventually seeing that pastries of some sort were being handed out. Ting wasn't very familiar with pastries, he just knew they were sweet in flavor. Sweets were a rarity for him, as he often decided his money would be better spent on more important things. He considered for a moment about getting one.
He'd really rather try to to make himself stand out. But then again, the bright orange cloth wrapped around him makes him stand out like a fire type in a lake. Standing off to the side and trying not to interact with anyone might make him stand out more since he's not with the group. But at the same time, standing around so many people is bound to draw attention to him. What a dilemma. Those pastries were starting to smell pretty good though. If he just kept his head down and his mouth shut, they might not pay him much mind.
He approached the group surrounding the buneary holding the basket of sweets. Ting's eyes never met the buneary's as he reached for the sweetbread. "Thank you." he said meekishly, trying not to make too much noise. The sweet taste was somewhat foreign to him, though not unpleasant, and before he knew it, he had finished the loaf he was given. Taking another look around the room, a Sylveon sat somewhat farther away, likely some sort of official for the guild. For now though he decided to stay put however.
"Feet fail me not, this one opportunity is all that I've got!"
Name: Ting, after the sound metal makes when it strikes rock.
Age: Ting is a relatively young adult. Probably about 20 in human years
Gender: Male
Species: Aron
Ability: Rock Head - Prevents recoil damage from moves like Double Edge or Take Down
Appearance: While most Aron have armor that shines like polished steel (mostly because it is), Tang's armor is more of a dusty gray, and there are several dings and scratches that Ting has yet to try and fix. He also wears a bright orange cloth wrapped around his abdomen at all times, leaving room for his legs and spike, of course.
Personality: Having such a rough childhood, Ting is untrusting of people at first, as he is used to being lied to or manipulated in some fasion. However, on the flipside, he is also very selfless and charitable. Knowing what it's like to be alone and in constant suffering has made him want to ease the burdens of others, especially his brothers and sisters, wherever they may be. Either way, he's not afraid of hard work, and is willing to get his hands (legs?) dirty.
Short Biography:
Deep in the mountain ranges to the east, there is an area that can only be called bandit territory. Highwaymen, cutpurses, and all manner of marauders litter the landscape. Many passersby avoid the area like the plague, or stop for nothing while passing through. However, despite this, several small villages are dotted around the mountains, and are usually kept in check by the bandits.
The leader of these bandits is an Aggron who calls himself Rockheart the Unbreakable. Rockheart rarely leaves his mountain, usually only doing so when someone is defiant enough to try and escape his rule so that he can put them down. It is said his defenses are impregnable, and his attacks can shatter entire buildings, though no-one has actually ever lived to tell these tales. Most of these rumors come from followers of Rockheart in order to scare people into submission.
Rockheart has amassed a hoard of the years of all manner of things. Money, jewelry, concubines, and it is even rumored that he possesses a mega stone. Of course, if you're going to have so many concubines around, you're bound to get some of them pregnant. And this, unfortunately, was somewhat of a common occurrence. Rockheart bore many bastard children with his concubines, and eventually, he began branding his children. Those born to him would have the letter "R" carved into their sides, forever marking them as a child of the bandit king, before being sent off the mountain to any one of many villages.
Whether out of fear that they'd be like their father, or hatred for the same person, sons and daughters of Rockheart were shunned by those who lived in the region. People would hurl both insults and stones at the the cursed offspring, in an attempt to get them to leave.
For many of these children, most of which weren't even given names, this tactic proved effective, and sent most of them scurrying. Ting was one of these children who ran away. He spent most of his early life on the road, begging from those who would pass by, or stealing from those who made the mistake of camping out.
After what felt like years of traveling, Ting finally made his way to Starstone, where he managed to find some work in an iron mine. Unfortunately for Ting, the large "R" carved into his right side betrayed his lineage, and those who knew of it would steal from him, blame him for false allegations, and otherwise making Ting's life hell. Eventually, Ting was blamed for stealing from the iron mine, and was fired from his job. Learning his lesson about his ancestry, he spent the last of his money on cloth to wrap around himself to hide the scar from Rockheart.
Eventually, Ting wandered to Cloudgate, where he was unknown, and could start again. Once more, fate apparently had other plans for Ting, as the shade began to set in, and Ting found himself trapped in Cloudgate. Finding work as a construction worker, Ting tried to save up, hoping to one day return to his brothers and sisters in the mountains to free them from their suffering, and possibly even stand toe-to-toe against his father. But he'd need a better source of income than this. He'd need connections, he'd need his name to be worth something. And that's when he say the flyer.
That's it! An Exploration Team! He could go places he never could before, spreading his name and earning glory to one day rescue his kin. Though first, he'd need to get accepted. Will he have the strength and force of will to make it into Scorch's guild? Or will he find himself tossed aside once again?
Move Set: Harden, Head Smash, Metal Claw, Headbutt
Equipment: Ting keeps most of his money on him (if he has any at all), his orange cloth, and some form of food (usually iron scrap).
Other: Ting is still somewhat ashamed of his ancestry, and will assume the worst if his secret is revealed.

Is our moveset restricted by any sort of level? Is there anything stopping me from starting off with something like Rock Slide or Iron Tail. And what about egg moves like Head Smash? Would those be limited/forbidden?
