RisingRobinName: Cecilia "Cici" Taylor
Age: 20
Starting Location: Central City
Rank: Skilled
Trainer Points: 82
Organisation: Helping Hand Guild
Appearance: Cici's most distinctive features are her long, thick and messy dark hair, which she attempts to tame by tying it back, and the tattoo of a musical score winding around her right arm. Her eyes are bright blue, often staring off into the distance as she plans her next song. She's tall for a woman, standing at 5'10", and her skin is pale. Her usual outfit consists of a black vest top, a pair of baggy blue jeans, ankle boots, and a dark blue guitar pick pendant. She's rarely seen without her semi-acoustic guitar (hollow electric guitar that can be played as either type).
Biography: Cici was born in Central City to two music-loving parents, owners of a musical instrument shop. Her father had been in a few bands in his youth, and her mother ran a choir at weekends. Cici learned to play the guitar from a young age, and in her late teens, did what her father had done and joined a band as lead singer and guitarist. Things didn't go as she'd hoped, though. After the band broke up over arguments and creative differences, Cici decided to make a fresh start. She'd leave her hometown and travel throughout the region, playing alone, looking for inspiration. This, however, is only one of her reasons for starting her journey, the other being stories she's heard about a certain mythical Pokemon - Meloetta. Her greatest dream is to catch this Pokemon, and failing that, at least hear its song.
Personality: Despite her slightly rough-around-the-edges appearance, Cici is one of the most laid-back people you'll meet. Very little gets to her, to the point that it can seem as if she doesn't take anything seriously. This is far from the truth, though. She focuses intently on her music, even if it does mean others often have to pull her back to reality.
Extra Info: Like others in the Guitarist trainer class, she's going to have many Electric types, as well as Pokemon with sound-based moves, such as Whismur, Noibat, Igglybuff and Tympole.

Name: Ellanor "Ella" Beaufort
Age: 18
Starting Location: Feyhollow Town
Rank: Skilled
Trainer Points: 81
Organisation:
Appearance: Ella stands at the average height of 5'5", with slightly tanned skin and brown eyes. Her unremarkable features would cause her to fade into a crowd if not for her hair (dyed bright pink, naturally blonde) and the way she dresses. She always has a somewhat dishevelled, mismatched look. Her mother tells her it's a shame, she could be pretty if she dressed better, but she doesn't listen. She likes wearing what she wears, and adding her own touch to things, whether it's giving an elegant skirt a ragged edge, replacing lost buttons on a jacket with ones that don't quite match, or making a necklace out of soda can tabs. Her favourite item of clothing is a patchwork dress she made herself from fabric scraps of many clashing colours and patterns.
Biography: Up until now, Ella has lived her entire life in Feyhollow. Her father was often away while she was growing up, and he still is, leaving her with her mother, who works as one of Feyhollow's beauty show judges. During her teenage years, Ella worked at weekends and over the school holidays as a cleaner in the hall, and often watched the shows her mother judged. As she watched more and more performances, she noticed something.
Yes, the shows were certainly impressive, but many trainers tended to use the same Pokemon in the same way. The emphasis in Feyhollow seemed to be on a rather narrow definition of cuteness. She liked the typical fairy types well enough, but why were there some Pokemon nobody seemed to use?
Her mother, disappointed in what she saw as her lack of taste, tried unsuccessfully to get her to be more like her two older sisters. They would have a chance of following in her footsteps as judges, whereas Ella wouldn't. Ella knew what she wanted to do, though. People laughed when she mentioned this, but her dream was to travel the region, working towards a specific goal.
The shows she'd grown up watching had given her an interest in something bigger, something she'd only ever seen on TV but longed to take part in herself. Contests seemed to allow much more freedom, many more kinds of Pokemon and moves than what she was used to seeing. The ideal life for her was that of a coordinator.
One day, after work, she noticed one of the rubbish bags moving. It turned out not to be a rubbish bag at all, but a Pokemon, a Trubbish. Delighted to see a Pokemon that didn't often appear in her hometown - from what she knew about Trubbishes, they were more common in larger, more polluted areas - she couldn't resist spending a while playing with it. When it followed her home, her mother didn't react well, to say the least. Putting her foot down, she forbade Ella from becoming a trainer or coordinator if she was just going to reflect badly on the family by befriending such Pokemon. Nonetheless, Ella continued to feed and play with the Trubbish in secret, recognising it by its slightly ragged ears.
Her luck turned around on her eighteenth birthday, when her aunt, who supported her dreams, gave her a Pokedex and a Pokeball. Her mother was far from happy, but Ella was growing up and she couldn't stop her leaving home. After a few days of heated arguments, Ella set out to leave her old life behind her and see what the world had in store.
Personality: Ella has that type of bubbly energy that some people find fun, and others find annoying. After years of dreaming, she's eager to explore the region and befriend Pokemon, growing as a trainer and coordinator. She's viewed as having odd taste - she'll openly express how adorable she finds that Stunky, or how that Weezing's Smog is the most beautiful thing she's ever seen - which can weird people out. She doesn't mind too much, though. She just wants to bring out the best in all Pokemon.

Name: Jason Ackerman
Age: 22
Starting Location: Central City
Rank: Skilled
Trainer Points: 37
Organisation: Legendwatch
Appearance: A tall young man with scruffy dark hair and green eyes, Jason more often than not carries himself with a confident stride. His clothing is casual, usually consisting of a red T-shirt with a black dragon silhouette on it, a loose-fitting black jacket, and a simple pair of blue jeans. His tanned skin bears numerous small scars from his more reckless moments.
Biography: Jason was always someone with a vivid imagination. Living in Central City, he spent much of his childhood in the library owned by his parents, engrossed in stories about the myths and legends of the world. He dreamed of adventures of his own, adventures that would take him to the magnificent beings he read about.
This got him laughed at a great deal by his peers. In school, people sneered at his love of books and learning. As he gathered up torn, scattered pages in the hallway while enduring his classmates' taunts, Jason resolved to prove everyone wrong about him. He'd have the last laugh once he became a Pokemon Master, and encountered the beings from his favourite legends.
Over time, the book-loving, imaginative boy became a bold and adventurous young man, cultivating a daring personality in an attempt to earn respect, before setting out into the world with a Pokeball and Pokedex. His journey allowed him to meet other people with similar goals, and it wasn't long until he founded his own organisation.
Legendwatch started out as an amateur project before developing into something bigger, becoming an official Poke Corp organisation aiming to bring together people intrigued by the world's legends. Not that Jason minds the responsibility. His position as a leader means people look up to him. Although some warn him of stories in which people's pride gets them in over their heads, setting them up for a fall...
Personality: The first impression people usually have of Jason is that of a reckless goofball, often running headlong into situations that his Pokemon have to drag him out of. While this isn't an unfair description, he does show a more serious, responsible side when he's researching a legend, or focusing on running his guild. He's academically smart, just lacking in common sense.
Although set on his goal, he's able to put it aside to help others. He recognises that some other Legendwatch members have more noble goals than his own, such as to seek out a legendary or mythical to help a loved one, or protect the legendaries from people who try to use them for malevolent ends. Respecting this, he'll assist them in their quests - though when they no longer need his help, he'll return to his own.
Extra Info: He has a particular liking for Dragon types, as well as Pokemon with a lot of folklore surrounding them.

Name: Florence Hadley
Age: 21
Starting Location: Feyhollow Town
Rank: Beginner
Trainer Points: 48
Organisation: Aether Foundation
Appearance: A tiny, unassuming girl, Florence stands at 5'2", often with her shoulders hunched and her hazel eyes cast down. She ties her chestnut-brown hair back from her face in a braid. She usually wears simple, knee-length dresses in earthy colours, or if she wants something more practical for exploring, blouses and jeans.
Biography: Florence grew up with little idea what she wanted to do. Her sister Chloe, by far the most vibrant and outgoing one, was the one who planned to help with their parents' berry farm by selling produce, leaving the timid, quiet younger sibling feeling as if she had few options other than assisting in the garden.
This led her to venture out, trying to force herself to be more adventurous and experience the world outside of the farm. One day, while walking with her sister along the outskirts of Feyhollow, she found a Pokemon at the edge of the forest. A Chikorita, sickly pale, barely moving, the leaf on her head dull and wilted. Florence rushed her to the Pokemon centre, where she stayed by her side throughout her recovery.
When the newly-healthy Chikorita decided to stay with her rather than returning to the wild, that was when Florence, aged sixteen at the time, realised what life path she wanted to take. Finding fulfillment in caring for Pokemon, she decided she'd train to become a Pokemon nurse. She took on a part-time job assisting in the Pokemon centre, and when she left school, she took her studies further.
Throughout these years, though, a problem became clear. As much as she wanted to emulate the nurse's friendly, bubbly attitude, she never felt her own personality was quite suited to working at a front desk, facing the public and comforting worried trainers. Even after completing her studies, she couldn't help feeling they may have come to nothing.
Luckily, her sister gave her a way to follow a slightly different version of her dream. Knowing how close Florence's bond with the Chikorita was, Chloe presented her with a Pokedex and Pokeball. Instead of helping Pokemon as a Pokecentre nurse right away, she'd be able to help them by travelling as a trainer, building her confidence along the way, and some day reaching her goal.
Personality: The best way to describe Florence is like a folded Cherrim. She's usually quiet and shy to the point of seeming aloof, but the longer she spends with someone, the more she'll open up. She finds this easier to do with Pokemon than with humans.
A pacifist for the most part, Florence is more of a supporter than a battler. Instead of fighting and weakening wild Pokemon to catch them, she prefers to try and befriend them, though her shyness can get in the way of this and it's usually her Chikorita who does the befriending. She's not completely averse to battling, though, and will do so if she has to, or if one of her Pokemon shows a desire to fight.
Despite her timidity, she's by no means a weak person. In a crisis, she often shows a different side, knowing what to do and taking action while others are panicking. Highly determined, once she takes up a task, she'll stick to it.
Extra Info: As well as knowing quite a lot about how to heal and look after Pokemon, she knows basic first aid for humans, and always carries around a medical kit. Her team will consist of many Grass types, and Pokemon associated with healing or caring for others.
