Pokemon: Ascendancy

Oh right, if it's not obvious and because Sol spelled his naming inspiration out in his CS like a peon, Fiona's entire roster is named after jet aircraft.

Pokemon: Ascendancy

Fiona is neutral towards spicy food. Likes it well enough, but it's not her favorite by any means.

Nakano Nagi

In the morning, Nagi had belatedly realized that one of her plans would have to wait: she'd completely forgotten that Masa was out of town for a kendo meet. Until the end of the weekend. Motherfucker. She hadn't even noticed until her LINE lit up with him sending pictures of food. The ramen looked real good, too. Bitch. And so the school day passed with her in a perpetually piss-poor mood. It didn't help that for some reason, Okamoto wasn't even being her usual incompetent self, and so she wasn't even able to get any decent footage with her hidden spy cam. Not that Nagi had much faith in that plan anymore, after everything the bird had told her last night. Why bother trying to go public with footage when the bitch literally had mind control?

When school ended for the day, Nagi had dragged Mune aside, foisted Goji onto him, and told each other they had about two hours to get explanations and shit sorted before cooking club ended and they could run off into the Metaverse. She'd given the matter some thought, and decided that it wasn't worth trying to go in the moment class ended. Too many people still around with clubs and shit. At six in the evening, though? Enough people would have filtered out by then that the chance of running into someone before they could do what they had to was way lower.

So once cooking club was done, Nagi met back up with Mune and the bird a few blocks away from the school, not wanting to have attracted suspicion by waiting right outside.

"Please, burglary's for pussies. I have standards." Nagi grunted as they made their way back. "Honestly, I don't give a fuck if she changes or not. I just want the one with the bees to not be able to kill me when I turn a wrong corner in this building."

They made their way back into the main building, heading upstairs. Nagi led Mune towards the same empty club room that she'd interrogated the hat douche in, given that it'd gone unused for years by this point.

"Okay, we should be fine in here. I'll get us started, Mune." Nagi fished her phone out, opening the Metaverse app as Goji had instructed her to and punching the keywords in.

"Look alive, bitches. Let's lock and load."

Fiona MacConnell

”Yer here for a battle, aye? Fine, fine. Then let’s see if ye can keep up wit' me in the open sky!”

---

MAIN PROFILE

Name: Fiona MacConnell

Age: 25

Gender: Female

Birthplace: Freezington

Appearance Information:
Stands at about 5’8”. Skin is fair, long blonde hair, has a lithe build. Somewhat toned musculature, moderate bust.

Typically wears casual clothing such as plain T-shirts and jeans, but makes the token effort of putting on a fashionable jacket. Always seen with a pair of flying goggles around her head, for use in the skies.

When the occasion calls for it, has a full Sky Trainer glider suit for both Sky Battles and official appearances as a Gym Leader. Wears her Dynamax Band on her right wrist, with a Key Stone mounted into the opposite side of the wristband from where the plate is.

Personality:
A free spirit by all accounts, Fiona prefers not to be burdened by much outside of her Pokemon and her Gym. She’s relaxed and lackadaisical, unconcerned with what others think so long as she’s satisfied with her own performance. She’s a wanderer at heart, spending much of her time outside of League-mandated Gym battles soaring the skies of Galar atop one of her many Flying Pokemon.

Despite her carefree nature, or, as some would believe, because of it, Fiona is a hard book to read. It’s difficult to accurately get a handle on what she wants or is thinking, and she tends to just go with the flow much of the time.

Of course, that isn’t to say there isn’t a brain underneath all the laziness and aimless wandering. She’s a quick wit when she’s forced to be, and aims for efficiency in what she does, so as to better get things over with and go back to a state of relaxation.

Short Biography:
While born in the icy southern town of Freezington, Fiona only spent a portion of her early years there. By the age of nine, she moved with her family to Kalos for a number of years on account of her parents’ work. It was in Kalos that Fiona saw her first Sky Battle, inspiring a love of Flying Pokemon and the open sky itself that she carries to this day.

During her stay in Kalos, Fiona became a certified Sky Trainer by her teenage years along with her regular schooling before her family returned to Galar. Upon finishing high school, Fiona immediately set out on that year’s Gym Challenge, wanting to explore the homeland she’d spent most of her teenage years out of. She won her eight badges handily enough, but was knocked out in the semi-finals of the Champion’s Cup.

Losing didn’t particularly bother Fiona. Hell, she’d gotten further than she’d expected herself. And being Champion was a burden she wouldn’t have really wanted anyway. Interviews, public appearances, actual duties? No thanks. So with a smile and a shrug, Fiona decided to continue her journey, spending the next few years traveling from region to region, learning about different varieties of Flying Pokemon while exploring all she wanted to. She didn’t let up on honing her battling skills, either. Fiona took part in the professional battling circuit across the world, from Mt. Battle to the Frontier.

It was on a break from her journey back home in Galar that Fiona was approached to become a Gym Leader by one of the current Leaders looking to retire. While initially resistant to the idea of being tied down in one place, she was eventually worn down by persistent arguments and the knowledge that she could always quit if the responsibility really was too much. Of course, the salary and job stability didn’t hurt either. After all, maintaining a career as a professional battler was an uncertain thing at the best of times. So with yet another shrug, Fiona stepped into the next chapter of her life.

She’s been at the job for three years now, and has performed rather admirably despite her own doubts to the contrary. Fiona’s attitude isn’t always appreciated, but she brings in ratings with her battles and contributes decently to the community outside of the challenge season, both patrolling the Wild Area for incidents and helping to train the Flying Taxi service’s Corviknights.

POKEMON

League Team

TBD

Main Team

Raptor: (Gigantamax) Corviknight
Fiona's starter and her oldest companion. Stoic and resolute, she watches over the rest of the flock and can be counted on to mediate disputes among the crew. The strongest Pokemon on the team by official League metrics, thanks to her Gigantamax form.

Lightning: Noivern
Wild, hyperactive, and mischievous. He has a need for speed and loves to show said speed off, always eager for a battle or a race. Causes problems with his eagerness and energy, but not on purpose.

Flanker: Gliscor
Relaxed and cheerful. The one closest to her own trainer's temperament on the team. Likes nothing more than to laze about and sleep. Tends to go along with whatever the rest of Fiona's team is up to, humoring the other members whenever they get too energetic or aggressive.

Berkut: Talonflame
Egotistical. Preens a lot. Has a tendency to show off during battle and be the most visually spectacular among Fiona's team. Doesn't take being upstaged in style well, and picks fights with other showoffs.

Hornet: Yanmega
The quiet one. Doesn't interact much with the rest of the crew, but mostly out of nervousness due to being Fiona's newest addition, and due to the Bug type's inherent weakness to the Flying type.

Felon: (Mega) Salamence
The true ace of Fiona's squad. Arrogant and bloodthirsty, but still loyal to Fiona and his fellow Pokemon on the team. Picks fights with everyone else. Unfortunately, never gets the chance to show off his real strength in Galar League battles due to a ban on Mega Evolution and the League's preference for Dynamaxing.

Benched Pokemon

Rafale: Togekiss
Surprisingly for one of its species, perpetually frowning and irritable. Always seems to be cooking up one nasty plot or another in his head. Mostly brought onto Fiona's team to troll Hestia during the Cup.

Fulcrum: Aerodactyl
Somewhat of a space case. Outside of battle, has very little idea what is going on most of the time and prefers to just idle and perch out of the way of everyone else. Is the exact opposite in battle, being hyper focused and aware. Would be capable of Mega Evolution if Fiona could actually get her hands on an Aerodactylite.

Barge: Gyarados
A holdover from Fiona's challenge and adventuring days, Barge regards most situations and Pokemon with an eye of weary experience, having seen it all at this point. She's still kept in shape enough to be substituted in for the Cup, but is more often called on when Fiona needs water transportation for some reason.

Other

Blackjack: Honchkrow
Another one of Fiona's original party, having had to suffer an early retirement due to an improperly-healed wing. Has taken to being a house Pokemon well, preferring to hop around Fiona's penthouse and enjoy the perks of a domestic life.

Mimsy: Furfrou
The MacConnell family pet since their days in Kalos during Fiona's teenage years. Has come into Fiona's possession for the time being, as her parents have gone off on a year-long retirement cruise.

@AmbraQuick question, while I’m assuming Fakemon are off the table, would you agree to the possibility of a different form? I was thinking my character might have an Urshifu as his partner, but it has a different martial arts style which would enable it to have a Fire-Type evolution?

@TheNoCoKid

I'm gonna preempt Ambra on this, but due to Gamefreak refusing to be consistent on anything, Urshifu is officially classified as a legendary. So it's kinda off the table regardless.

Dragan Meszaros

Ah. It seemed he'd missed a spot leading up to the bridge. Dragan raised his rapier with a frown, instinctively leaping out of the way of the skeletal beast's head slam. Dragan could chalk that up to his post-torpor weakness, but that would be making excuses. No, he simply hadn't been paying enough attention, it seemed. Something to work on for later.

In the meantime, there was still the immediate matter to deal with. Dragan took up a fencing stance, calling back across the bridge as he did so.

"There is little need to concern yourselves overmuch!" He yelled in his companions' direction before lunging forward, juking one way and then the other before leaping up and plunging his rapier straight into one of the beast's eye sockets. He would have to determine if this thing was truly alive or not before committing more to the fight.

Star Wars -- Winter of the Confederacy

Alric Lann

Even for a veteran warrior, it had been a difficult battle. Alric reflected on the siege of Telos IV, likely not to be the only one, as he took a late lunch on the roof of the tenement that served as his temporary barracks. A box of takeout food rested next to his seated position on the roof, along with a cup of caf and his helmet.

The Mandalorian warrior sighed in relief as he finished his crucial maintenence on the last of his armament. There hadn't been enough time during the siege to attend to his weapons properly, and it was a testament to the inherent durability of his preferred blaster models that they hadn't jammed or worse in the battle. Hell, he'd even run out of specialty ammunition for his rifle, having gone dry on sniper quarrels and grenades sooner than he would have liked. That wasn't a problem anymore with this respite, but judging by scuttlebutt, supply lines were only shrinking.

And speaking of scuttlebutt, both the MMSes he'd received weren't promising. Alric frowned at the thought as he took a sip of his caf before digging into his lunch of rice, lentils, and mystery meat. The second message had definitely been over private channels, which meant that someone in command had headhunted him. Anyone with his dossier would know that he wasn't a slicer, so that meant whatever this was likely involved heavy combat. Good, if so. Of course, with their manpower situation, it was equally likely that they were selecting warm bodies in desperation to fill out a mission roster.

Whichever way it went meant little in the end, so long as he was still able to fight. Alric continued to eat his meal, looking over the city from his vantage point on the barracks roof.
