XyremName: Aruru Ray Kaminski (Goes by “Xyrem”)
Gender: Female
Hometown: Oreburgh City
Age: 18
Height: 5’1’’
Weight: Around 105. 110 if she’s eaten recently.
Hair: Dyed dark red, with purple streaks. Usually, the streaks only really show themselves in the sunlight. Otherwise, they blend too well with the rest of her hair. Length? Just above shoulder length. It’s kind of in a razored cut, and because of that will not behave no matter how many times she chooses to brush it. So she just gave up.
Eyes: Brown. Also, they don’t work too well. She’s nearsighted. Normally sticks with glasses, as contacts sometimes split. She does not like weird split things in her eye.
Facial Features: Xyrem's cheekbones aren't sunken, but they're not pronounced either. Her nose has an odd bump, which many assume occurred from an injury, when in fact it's genetic. It actually opens up her nasal cavity and allows her voice to have more reverberation. She still doesn't like it much. Her eyes are of normal size, but her eyebrows often anger her. Her jaw is rounded, but still takes on a more squared shape, something she completely detests about herself.
Skin Tone: Xyrem spends most of her time inside. What little time she spends outside is usually in the Underground. Therefore, she is very pale. She burns easily, but most of her burns will eventually turn into tans. She hates the pain that burns bring.
Clothing: She often wears a black tank top, although not many will see that. Over it, she wears a black, four-buttoned coat that is always closed. When it’s too hot, she pulls the sleeves up to her forearms. The only time she chooses to take it off is when she’s in the Underground, as she doesn’t want it to get dirty. She also wears black jeans (not too tight fitting, more loose actually), which are tucked in to her black combat boots. She hates the Summer.
Identifying Marks: A small scar running up her forearm, mostly healed. It was from when she decided to try running on concrete, tripped on a pebble, and skidded. On her arm. Lucky for her, it really only scraped away a few layers of skin rather than doing any major damage. Other than that? Perhaps the purple streaks, or maybe the jacket she wears, even when it’s hot out.
Musculature: Her arms are pretty scrawny, even though she regularly will venture down to the Underground so that she can dig up things to sell. Her legs are a different story, as she tends to walk around a lot, as well as do kick-training with her Blaziken, ‘Vadumee. Her mid-section is not toned, and this often makes her upset. Xyrem has an odd feature in which whatever fat she has migrates to the center of her body- her hands and feet are almost skeletal. Because of the spread of her weight, she is not able to float in water- a condition called "negative buoyancy".
Personality Type: A
Social Outlook: Introverted
Blood Type: B+
Personality Summary: Highly intelligent, but harbors a deep distrust of humanity in general. She has always had a high level of paranoia as well. When she finally gets to the point where she trusts someone, though, she becomes highly loyal and dependable. There are even some people that she will fight to the death for. Once she is betrayed, she will never forget it.
Xyrem considers all of life to be a learning experience, though, and will try and suck knowledge from any possible source. It is her belief that everyone in the world can teach her at least one thing that she didn’t previously know. However, if she has spent years studying something, she can and will show that knowledge at any opportunity. Most take this to be some form of arrogance. In reality, she’s only trying to teach people what she has learned. However, if someone pulls up new data, she will ask for proof. If she is given proof, not only will she internalize it, she will also feel deep shame at not knowing it. Most of the time, she’s a relatively silent person, feeling that she should not speak unless absolutely necessary. However, in the right atmosphere, she’s a natural comedian and leader. Her nickname is one of the odder things about her. When she explains it, it’s always “X-Y like the axes, REM like the sleep”. (Some may note what Xyrem actually is- a pharmaceutical version of GHB). She will never say her real name. It’s not out of shame, it’s more the fact that she does not want to trust people with her real handle. If she decides to trust someone with her name, they are only allowed to use it in private, so that nobody else may garner the information.
Because she's spent her life as a genius, she has a relatively negative view on most of humanity. While yes, she just wants to learn, she has a counter process that calls everyone around her stupid, because of the actions they choose. While she tries to push that down to the bottom of her personality, it often surfaces in bits of sarcasm or in white hot explosions. While an explosion of anger is insanely rare, as she often holds back her emotions, people around her have learned to avoid them. After an explosion, she gets extremely vulnerable and emotionally fragile for a good week or so. After that, her emotional spectrum goes back to baseline. She will avoid an explosion of emotion at any cost. Happiness is her one exception. She generally likes to show approval.
And, of course, while she often hides her disdain for all of humanity, it still exists. But, because of the supportive way she was raised, and because of the many good friends she has had over her lifetime, she will never harm another human being on purpose. In fact, she's trained in basic first aid, and uses it whenever necessary. The one exception is when someone is physically attempting to attack her. She will then attack with any anger that had been recently pent up.
Battle Style: Xyrem is a highly offensive battler. She relies on the Speed and Attack of her Pokemon, and has relatively weak defenses. More than even speed, she loves attack. She considers defensive moves a waste of her time, and likes moves that hit hard. Her strategies all revolve around her more powerful attacks.
Skills: She’s pretty damn logical, and considers that a skill. She’s not too bad at battling, either. And, of course, basic first aid. She can also do a mean suture.
Past: Xyrem came from a loving and supporting family. Neither of her parents were especially good at battling- her mother chose to spend her time as a freelance writer, and her father ran a small technology company while studying theoretical physics in his free time. There are memories that exist of long, complicated conversations about the start of the universe in Xyrem's mind. However, those are the main long conversations she remembers- if it wasn't about something big, her and her father wouldn't really talk much. As he once stated, when notified by Xyrem's mother that the two of them sucked at talking about anything smaller than the universe, "We are not as good as navigating the waters of conversation". When it came to social issues, she could always turn to her mother, who was loving, kind, and witty. However, due to her relatively cold logical perspective, she ended up respecting her father's opinions more than her mother's. Many said that, when it came to personality, she was her father's clone. She was born in Oreburgh, and moved to Jubilife for a short time while her father worked on his company. He sold the company when Xyrem was 15, and the family moved back to Oreburgh. Her parents live in a small house on the edge of the city, while Xyrem, at the age of 18, moved to an apartment closer to the city center. She still shares a close relationship with her parents.
Family: Mother (Jamie Kaminsky), Father (Michael Kaminsky)
Love Relationships?: She doesn’t like to trust people far enough to love them. She also hates feeling vulnerable in any way. However, she harbors a slight crush on Oreburgh Gym Leader Roark, although she refuses to admit it out loud.
Pokémon: Blaziken (‘VADUMEE) –Male-
Ability: Blaze
Nature: Naughty
Hidden Power: Rock
Special Features<Physical>: Nothing out of the ordinary
Special Features <Other>: Likes to meditate. Hates to lose.
History: Xyrem has raised ‘Vadumee since he was a Torchic. Actually, back in those days, she used to hug him a lot, as he was glowing with warmth and fluffy. Because of her gentle care, they have a close relationship. When he evolved into a Combusken, she taught him how to meditate. It was her wish to have a Pokemon that could not only defend, but also be in tune with the world. After that, she began working on kicks with him. Today, they still train together.
Personality: Very calm in even the worst situations, as he meditates every morning. Every day, he will train with Xyrem in order to strengthen his fighting attacks. Of course, he can far outfight her, but often won’t choose to during normal training. He is insanely protective of Xyrem, and will fight anyone or anything that gets in her way. When Xyrem gets tired of walking, ‘Vadumee allows her to ride on his shoulders. 'Vadumee acts as an impromptu "leader" of Xyrem's team. Each of the Pokemon look up to him for advice in battle and in life. It's their general opinion that 'Vadumee is wise, from his many experiences.
Rampardos (ERIS) –Female-
Ability: Mold Breaker
Nature: Timid
Hidden Power: Flying
Special Features (Physical): Has a slightly higher vocal call due to her gender.
Special Features (Other): After a day of training, she likes to sleep. She curls into a ball when she does so. Often dozes off.
History: Eris was revived from a Skull Fossil that Xyrem had dug up Underground one day. As a Cranidos, Eris was often allowed out of her Pokeball to hang out with Descartes, who acts as her older brother. When she evolved, Xyrem bestowed her nickname upon her. Even when she surpassed Descartes in power, she still remained the baby of the team.
Personality: Ever since she was first brought into the world, she’s been protected by both Xyrem and Descartes. As a result, she’s childish. She also loves head butting fruit-bearing trees to get what is hanging upon their branches. She will share what she obtains with any nearby Pokemon. If she is angered, however, she will stop at nothing to make whatever upset her pay. Because of her childish nature, she is quite stubborn at times. She shows her affection- whether it be familial or otherwise- by head butting. Xyrem and her team learned this the hard way.
Rampardos (DESCARTES) –Male-
Ability: Mold Breaker
Nature: Mild
Hidden Power: Dark
Special Features (Physical): Xyrem randomly placed a collar around his neck. Attached to it is a small tag with "DESCARTES" engraved on it. No one knows why she chose to make or attach the collar. Hell, not even she knows.
Special Features (Other): Is insanely aggressive towards most. Likes to fight.
History: Descartes was the first fossil Pokemon that Xyrem got revived. He was always considered tough, so Xyrem raised him as such. However, she was careful never to be too cruel, and often fed him Poffins when a training day went well. She nicknamed him when he was still a young Cranidos, because she thought that having a Pokemon named after one of the great thinkers that did nothing more than bash its head into things was ironically hilarious.
Personality: Descartes is insanely protective over Eris, who he sees as a little sister. Anything that he sees as threatening to her will get one hell of a head butt. He will not, however, attack any of the other Pokemon on Xyrem’s team.
Rotom (RAMIEL)
Ability: Levitate
Nature: Lax
Hidden Power: Fire
Special Features (Physical): Almost always grinning. Widely.
Special Features (Other): Likes to joke around, enjoys scaring random passerby. Strong willed.
History: Xyrem has never been one to explore haunted houses. However, she decided to run on in to the Old Chateau one night, and found a TV that she wanted to watch. When she hit the “Channel Up” button, Rotom popped itself out of the TV, hoping to scare her. Well, for one, it worked. Not quite as the plasma Pokemon intended, though, as in her scared state, she pulled out something to throw at the source of her fear. By chance alone, she pulled out an Ultra Ball. After that, Rotom was hers.
Personality: Ramiel loves to play pranks on random people. It hides in any available appliances, its favorite being the fridge- it likes to pretend to nom on people’s food when they go to store something. It really only likes to look out for itself, but will rush to the aid of any of Xyrem’s team if needed. If it is defeated, it will work as hard as it possibly can to not only get stronger, but also find what it lost to and kick its arse. It does not back away from a challenge- whether it be winning a battle, or getting someone who's really down to smile.
Aerodactyl (PROMETHEUS) –Male-
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Timid
Hidden Power: Ground
Special Features (Physical): Xyrem sometimes files his large fangs into points. So, he looks slightly angrier and more malevolent than most Aerodactyl.
Special Features (Other): He secretly wants to be pretty. Often lost in thought.
History: After getting Prometheus restored, Xyrem taught him Fly. She enjoys the odd looks she gets when she lands in a city on her Aerodactyl. She doesn’t train him nearly as much as she does the Rampardos pair or her Blaziken, but they still share a close relationship nonetheless.
Personality: Most of the time, Prometheus is angry. Not at anyone or anything in particular, just in general. He doesn’t like to be bothered in most circumstances. The only thing he does gladly is fly- he likes to be free, even if it’s for long journeys across Sinnoh. When he is free, his mind will drift to the life he has lived ever since he was revived- the times he's shared with Xyrem, the battles he's participated in, the foes he's defeated. There have even been times when he almost ran into buildings, much to Xyrem's surprise.
Porygon-Z (ANONYMOUS)
Ability: Download
Nature: Lax
Hidden Power: Flying
Special Features (Physical): Most of the time, Xyrem attaches “Rave-Goggles” to the top of its head.
Special Features (Other): When it goes through one of its many “Spaz” phases, it will peck at random passerby and squee. Also is alert to sounds.
History: Xyrem received a Porygon as a present from a friend when she was only 14. From the second they met, their quirky personalities bonded. While Anonymous is nowhere near as powerful as the rest of the team, she’ll always keep it with her. As it evolved, she only loved it more.
Personality: Quirky. Insanely quirky. The latest upgrade really screwed up its neural processing area. Most of the time, it silently floats along by Xyrem’s head. However, there are times when it will completely spaz out and go crazy. Xyrem finds it hilarious, especially when it begins to squee at high volumes. The first time it happened, she was worried that it was hurt. However, after she brought the squee-ing Pokemon to the nearest center, she was told that it was just a normal spaz, and that it caused no physiological damage. Now she lets it out when it gets crazy, and laughs at the ensuing shenanigans.
This is for an RP that I will be starting with Katsuo soon :3
Dai
Name: Daiana; Goes by Dai
Gender: Female
Hometown: Snowpoint.
Age: 17
Height: 5’ 6”
Weight: 130lbs
Hair: Dirty blonde, short cut, sticks out in the back.
Eyes: Bluish Green.
Facials Features: Dai has full lips and slightly chubby cheeks which are permanently tinted pink from growing up in Snowpoint. Her eyes are large, but her eyelashes are not as long as she would like them to be. Her nose is slightly upturned and her skin tone varies, but is generally pale, with yellow undertones. When she tans, she burns first, then tans.
Clothing: A slate gray mini-shirt with dark red collar, cut bellow bust, with a lock with orange resinattached to the turtle neck collar. Under it a dark red tank top. Pants have red zippers at mid-thigh. Above the zipper the cloth is slate gray, and below the cloth is light gray. She wears gloves that come up to her elbows, and have slate-gray colored belts over the forearm. They’re cut off 6in above the sole of her boots. Her boots are a light-gray color with a dark gray sole. They are tied with 3 dark grey belts.
Identifying marks: She has a scar located on her right nostril, and a 3in vertical scar that goes from the base of her right knee, to the base of her knee cap. The knee scar is from an operation she underwent at age 13, and she still has a numb spot on the outside of the right knee.
Musculature: Athletic build, she has a lot of strength in her arms and thighs. Fat tends to build on thighs and breasts.
Personality: Dai is extroverted to the point that she’ll randomly engage people in conversation. However, when she does this, her Weavile, Sniper, is often stealing the unfortunate stranger’s money. She enjoys pulling pranks and causing mischief in general. Dai is shortsighted and flighty. She never focuses on anything for very long. Slightly self-centered, she rarely does anything for anyone other than herself or her Pokémon. She speaks her mind, and is what she calls “painfully honest.” Others see this as just being mean. She rarely respects anyone, and rarely trusts anyone implicitly. Resourceful and witty, Dai can con even the savviest person out of their Pokés.
Skills: Pick-pocketing, scamming, thievery.
Trainer Type: Battle/Balanced
Past: She lived her youth in makeshift shelters in Snowpoint City, thieving, and pilfering anything she and her brother could find. Here she met Sniper the Sneasel. Because of their similar personalities and general disregard for others, the two hit it off. She and Sneasel fought over their plunder, and during a particularly bad fight, Sneasel used a scratch attack and cut Dai’s face. This is where the scar on her nostril came from. Luckily most of the rest of the scar faded. Later she and her brother were put into a foster program. While trying to escape her foster home, Dai suffered a bad fall from the third floor room she lived in and badly damaged the growth plate in her right knee. This injury required surgery in order to remove a bone that stuck out. This forced her escape to be postponed for a year. By this point Dai’s Pokémon team consisted of her befriended Sneasel, and a Shinx nicknamed Raiu. After a full recovery, during which Sniper performed several clandestine errands steal objects to entertain a bed-ridden Dai as well as information on her brother who had been sent to a separate foster home, Dai managed to run away from her foster home, and reunited with her brother. Her brother had since become a Pokémon trainer, though he was two years younger, and this upset Dai who wanted to continue living as a street rat. However, Dai decided she would beat her brother at his own game and began training. After several years she accrued several strong Pokémon and spends her time cheating people out of their money and items. She has been pursued by Team recruiters but refused them mostly because she dislikes the dynamics of organized crime, but also because they never made sense to her.
Family: Father, Leon, is not aware of his children, Mother, Marie, is believed to be in a hospital. Younger Brother, Felix, is an accomplished trainer, and is much more mature for his age than his older sister. He is generally kind and believes in doing what’s right. Even though Dai finds her goody-two-shoes brother annoying, she loves him, and they get along well.
Love/Relationships: She’s never been in love, and has never had a real relationship. She doesn’t believe she’ll find love, but enjoys physical contact. She doesn’t like feeling vulnerable so she makes it a point not to get emotionally close with anyone but her Pokémon.

Species: Weavile
Nickname: Sniper
Gender: Male
Ability: Pressure
Nature: Serious; Hates to lose
Hidden Power: Ground
Special Features:Wears the original copy of the key that unlocks the padlock of Dai’s shirt. The key is painted orange.
History: Grew up with Dai, he spent his life helping and thieving Dai, but will secretly forever regret and strive to atone for attacking Dai when they were children
Personality: He is strong and knows it. Sniper likes to flaunt his power and lords it over other Pokémon. He is incredibly intelligent, but his ego often prevents him from seeing the full picture. If anyone ever wants to get on his good side they have to earn his respect or stroke his ego. Injuring his ego results in a fight or being ignored until further notice.
Species: Empoleon
Nickname: Bebe (Beh-beh)
Gender: Female
Ability: Torrent
Nature: Careful; impetuous and silly
Hidden Power: Psychic
Special Features: Wears a copy of the key to Dai’s padlock.
History: Befriended Dai out of curiosity as a Piplup. This Pokémon grew up doing its best to
protect Dai, and thus became Dai’s emotional pillow, so to speak. Bebe is one of the only creatures to see Dai’s tender side.
Personality: Bebe is firm and does her best to keep Sniper in check. Impassive, she rarely shows emotion; however, she is completely devoted to Dai. She loves Dai and protects her to the point of being annoying. She finds Sniper annoying and gets jealous of Sniper’s and Dai’s shared past, however she never shows it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Species: Lopunny
Nickname: Poni
Gender: Female
Ability: Run Away
Nature: Quirky; loves to eat.
Hidden Power: Ice
Special Features: Wears a copy of the key to Dai’s padlock.
History: Dai, despite being rough around the edges, adores cute things, so when she met Poni as a Buneary she had to catch it. Sniper was always cruel to Poni because of the attention Dai gave her. Poni befriended Bebe quickly as Bebe often had to protect Poni from Sniper.
Personality: Completely the opposite of Sniper, Poni is sweet and gentle. She loves taking care of small creatures and cuddling up with others. She is extraverted and beguiling. Dai often uses her as a distraction or to lure people into scams and traps. Poni fell in love with Raiu when she met him as a Shinx. She had to work hard to get past Raiu’s aloofness, and reach him. Poni devotes herself to pleasing Raiu, and is very loving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Species: Luxray
Nickname: Raiu
Gender: Male
Ability: Rivalry
Nature: Naughty; Impetuous and Silly
Hidden Power: Water
Special Features: Wears a copy of the key to Dai’s padlock.
History: Raiu the second Pokémon Dai ever befriended. He spent most of his days as a Shinx cuddled up with Dai as she recovered from surgery. He typically ignored Sniper, mostly because he didn’t approve of Sniper’s thievery, but at the same time he accepted that it was a sort of necessity. Since he gets along with Sniper well enough that they don’t fight, however, when Sniper bothers Poni, Raiu has been known to take a couple swipes at him. Even though Poni had to work hard for Raiu’s affection, Raiu had had feelings for Poni for awhile. He only worked up the courage to court her when he evolved into a Luxio. After evolving he courted Poni, and they’ve been together ever since. He adores everything about her and treats her as gently as if she were a flower.
Personality: Aloof and distant, Raiu mostly spends his time thinking and enjoying Poni’s company. He has a tough outer shell that makes him seem cold; however he is tender and sweet on the inside. Raiu hides this fact and shows it only to Poni out of embarrassment, and to avoid Sniper’s cruelty.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Species: Ninetails
Nickname: Pixy
Gender: Female
Nature: Timid; loves to eat
Ability: Flash Fire
Hidden Power: Fighting
Special Features: Wears a copy of the key to Dai’s padlock.
History: Pixy originally belonged to another trainer before being traded for a Dai’s Yanma and Tangela. Dai originally wanted Pixy so as to try the Contest circuit. At first, Dai and Pixy did not get along in the slightest, but after several years of training they warmed up to each other. Pixy doesn’t get along with Bebe or Poni, for she finds them boring and childish. She enjoys watching Sniper’s antics and conversing with Raiu.
Personality: Pixy is arrogant, but powerful. She is shallow and dislikes anything remotely childish or deep. Pixy prefers to keep things superficial, because after being traded she doesn’t want to develop bonds so it won’t hurt so much if she is traded away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Species: Sableye
Nickname: Sable
Gender: Female
Ability: Keen Eye
Nature: Hardy; Good Perseverance
Hidden Power: Grass
Special Features: Wears a copy of the key to Dai’s padlock.
History: Traded along with Pixy, Sable found the change in scenery as an opportunity to find more rare and precious jewels. Sable loves to bother Pixy, whom she has been friends with for years, and met Sniper as a Weavile. She immediately saw him as an opponent and challenged him to a battle. She eventually lost to Sniper, and fell in love with his strength and lack of mercy. She courted Sniper in several less than conventional ways including thievery, scheming, and a general lack of respect for anyone. She and Sniper are now together, but their relationship is anything but happy and loving. They show affection for each other in their own ways but mostly insult each other.
Personality: Though she never participates in anything serious, Sable loves to pull pranks. All she does is pull pranks. She is silly and enjoys joking around. She is generally cheerful and has a dark sense of humor. She revels in other peoples misfortunes, which is one of Sniper’s favorite traits. Even though it often seems like she dislikes Sniper, she really does love him. Sable has a very difficult time with anything complex emotionally or intellectual. She doesn’t know much about true emotion.
ArcherName: Archer Gray
Gender: Male
Hometown: Resort Area, Battle Frontier, Sinnoh
Age: 18
Height: 6’1”
Hair: Very dark, exact color is yet to be determined because it changes with the lighting
Eyes: Clear, watery grey that always look like someone liquefied them and dropped something in them to make them ripple in the light.
Clothing: Varies, usually a clean or embroidered white button-down shirt, sleeves rolled up and such and dark denim jeans. Always neat.
Musculature: Well-built, healthy musculature with good definition and excellent posture
Personality: Kind, Genuine, Honest, with a sharp underlying intelligence- however, he is shy and slightly introverted. Has a tendency to blush like a tomato, especially in the presence of the fairer sex.
Skills: Strategic genius of sorts, very quick to adapt with impeccable observational skills. During a battle, prefers to utilize sign language as a means of communication. A talented cook on the side, he has a weakness for most spicy foods despite his intense dislike of curry, as he finds coconut milk repulsive. Also has a hidden talent for dancing he would never reveal to anyone eveerrrrrrrrrr.
Past: Honestly, a less-than-fascinating past, more interesting ancestry. The past few generations of his family served as Battle Castle Valets to the previous head- Lady Caitlin’s predecessors. However, when it came to the next youth to take charge of the young Lady Caitlin, Archer’s older brother Russell was too young to accept the position, and his father too old according to the statutes set into place. As a result, the position was given to the second family in line, and is currently occupied by Darach. Archer’s personal history is limited to the grooming and education he received as a youth as he was shaped into the respectful young gentleman he is today. As a child, spent most of his time in the castle observing his father battling challengers. When he wasn’t in school or socializing with the other children his age, he and Russell would be attending specialized tutoring lessons given to them by his father. Russell soon discovered he was more adept at calculations and left the “business” to attend an engineering school, passing what was left of the legacy of sorts onto the second-born, young Archer. The younger boy didn’t seem to mind, as he showed a more natural talent and aptitude for the battling scene through his flexibility and room for growth. To expand upon this, he moved through the tiers of the Battle tower before taking to the mainland and beginning the process of badge-collection at seventeen years of age. As of now, he possesses six of the eight Sinnoh badges.
Family: Father, Mother, and older brother Russell.
Love Relationships?: Nooooope.
Pokémon: QueyFemale Vaporeon
Calm Natured
Quey is quite the force to be reckoned with, and, though he’d never admit it out loud in front of the rest of his team, the pokemon closest to Archer. Always relaxed and level-headed, she’s very observant and supportive of her trainer and has been with him for several years. Evolved when Archer received a Water Stone as a birthday gift upon turning 13.
BennettFemale Breloom
Brave Natured
Bennett is one of the younger members of Archer’s team, and lacks the level-headedness of most of her teammates. Brash and impulsive, it’s a surprise that she manages to coordinate herself so well in battle, acting with surprising response and alertness to Archer’s silent commands. Though strong-willed and independent (or so she’d like to think), she is very attached to her trainer and thinks the world of him, always making certain to braid a daisy-chain headdress for him before making one for herself.
DallasMale Electivire
Adamant Nature
Dallas is what we might picture to be a typical cowboy, only in pokemon form. Having been significantly more mild as an Electabuzz, the transformation from the thick-skinned second-stage evolution to the arrogant, rough and reckless seems to have piled more upon his trainer than poor Archer knows how to deal with. Though they butt heads on occasion, many of their conflicts are solved by recalling him into his pokeball so his trainer can get a moments peace.
LucyFemale Togeplane
Calm Natured
Lucy is a surprisingly diverse battler, and one of the stronger members of the team. A real powerhouse, she is surprisingly laid-back outside of battles and is Archer’s primary means of transportation between cities. When not focused or alert, she has a very aloof personality and is very affectionate and child-like.
TsumeShiny
Male Garchomp
Adamant Natured
Tsume is Archer’s starter pokemon, having been a birthday present to the youth when he turned eight. Though it was against regulations to let a child become a trainer before the age of ten, the tiny Gible was a priceless asset that Archer took a shine to. Literally. It didn’t become obvious that Tsume was a Shiny until his scales developed a more noticeable luster after he evolved the first time, and even then it was hard to tell until he stood beside a second Gabite. Shocked at either his luck or the generosity of his parents, Archer babied the laaaaandshark until he evolved a second time, where he then developed a thick skin and hard-headedness that would be expected of a stronger battler. Despite this, he will still curl up beside his trainer at night like he did when he was smaller and easier to cuddle.
LaurMale Aggron
Adamant Natured
Laur and Archer are less the affectionate biffle-relationship type than they respect each other and cooperate. Laur has an underlying aggression he occasionally needs to let out, and Archer admires him in a weird sort of “Hey you’re a cool dude” kind of way. They get along pretty swell, so they work together well and all that.
