hi.

So, I don't have the fancy stuff that everyone else does. My intention with this post is to create a collection of characters on this site to reference rather than hunting for my post and editing it in the other threads.

• Riley Elkins
• Newton (Newt) Strauss
• Carli Saydem

Please don't post until all of the character threads are up. ^_^

[speshal]

Name: Riley Elkins

Age: 17

Appearance: 

Gender Identity: Male

Personality:
Riley is an extremely likable person. Although he really enjoys to talk to others and find out more about them, he also really enjoys his alone time. Resting and taking in his surroundings while evaluating his previous and future decisions is really relaxing to him. While he does try to give off a sort of confident vibe, he is rather insecure and is constantly thinking of ways to better himself as both an individual and team leader (Pokemon-wise). Because of his extreme consideration of others and what they say, he takes all insults to heart. It takes a lot to reverse something negative said to him and he will always hold on to those facts.

History: 

Riley is a pretty simple person from a pretty simple background. When he was younger, he had always wanted to grow up and do something non-Pokemon related. His choices normally jumped between various types of manual labor. First a construction worker, then a landscaper, then a carpenter. It all lasted until he was about 12 and found that Pokemon really were enjoyable. His father began exposing him to different kinds and encouraging any kind of journey he may want to take. While his parents did support his initial choices, they were not completely happy with them. When he finally changed his mind around the age of 16 and decided to become a Pokemon trainer, his parents were relieved and completely supported the decision. They pushed him into this adventure the next year and continue to support him. Being that they were about middle-class and he is an only child, they are able to send him occasional financial support. This normally means that he's rather happy and stress-free.

Team

Pepper
lv. 5
Keen Eye, Reckless (Hidden)
Tackle | Growl | Quick Attack

Pepper is Riley's closest companion. She is an extremely happy bird who is always willing to make friends. Battling is just a sport to her. It's something fun to do with other Pokemon and it isn't out of place for her to try and make friends with a Pokemon after winning or losing. Pepper is always quick to accept new people, though her trust is easily misplaced.

Lady 
lv. 5
Thick Fat, Pickup, Gluttony (Hidden)
Last Resort | Snatch | Lick | Metronome | Odor Sleuth | Tackle | Defense Curl

Lady was Riley's first capture. He met her right after starting his journey. She was trying to get free food from both him and Palia, but became irate when they stopped the flow of berries. It lost the battle and continues to be a rather mannerless Pokemon. She doesn't try to hurt anyone, but her lack of manners often causes issues. Riley ironically calls her Lady for this reason.

Pikachu 

lv. 10

Static, Lightning Rod (Hidden)

Thundershock | Tail Whip | Growl | Play Nice | Quick Attack

bio soon

Newton (Newt) Strauss // // 15
Asexual



Personality

Newton dislikes contact with people. He enjoys their presence and company, but prefers not to hold a conversation. He has a strong fear of messing up but it often fades once he begins performing the action. The only living thing that he is truly social with are his Pokemon, and even then he's a rather quiet person. Often, he may hide to avoid confrontation (although he is not very good at it). In most situations he could spit out a fun fact about whichever Pokemon or move is involved.

History

Newt grew up in Lumiose City, not to far from the central tower. His family had always lived there and none of them had ever dreamed of leaving, even on a journey, until Newt. Most of his family had been scientists or teachers, so there really was no room for some "rough and tough" adventurer. They all expected him to grow up just like them, and he did for a while. Newt's only hobbies were studying and playing with his Abra, Theodore (Theo), considering they were the only two who seemed to be on the same intellectual level. While he would never dare mention it, he knew he was smarter than all of his family. Around age 10 he decided it would be time to leave. There had to be something else out there for him to see.
When he had decided this, his personality changed from quiet and studious to loud and excitable. His classmates, who were similar to his family, would often tease him for this. It stayed this way until he was roughly eleven and half, where his personality was completely out of order in the world of the students. They would not only tease him now, but terribly harass and occasionally physically harm Newt. He then drew his personality back. The only person he completely opens up to anymore is Theo.
In order to escape this reality, he decided to go off on an adventure early. Due to this, he missed many lessons on berries and items, but would soon make up for it by studying on the road. This was not only by his own will, but was made to promise to do this by the association distributing trainer cards.

Pokemon

"Theo" - Lv5
Male
Inner Focus
Teleport // Knock Off

Theo was Newt's first companion and longest lasting friend. The two share the dream of traveling the world as a team. Due to Newt's family also disliking the idea of a journey, they had no involvement in catching him and instead bought him from a breeder. This is how he obtained the legally registered egg move Knock Off.

"Elliot" - roughly Lv7
Male
Shield Dust
Tackle // String Shot // Poison Sting

Elliot was Newt's first Pokemon he met on his journey, as well as the first to be added to the party. Elliot has a rather laid back attitude and just goes with the flow happily agreeing with whatever decisions Newt/Theo make and not really suggesting anything different.

"Motus" - Lv15
Female
Trace
Growl // Confusion // Double Team // Ally Switch // Teleport

Motus is incredibly shy and very unlikely to speak up in most situations. She has trust for her trainer, but does not want to show a full commitment to someone she just met. The Ralts often shies away from conversation with any of her team members and keeps to herself. Theo often tries to communicate and makes friends to no avail. It will all change with time.

Other: Could I give Theo Confusion? It's listed as a "start" move for Kadabra, but I feel like just having Teleport might get... annoying.

Carli Saydem ||  || 16

Personality: Carli is normally a rather happy and bubbly girl. She does, however, let negative experiences get to her and will hold on to them until there is a reason to let go. She tries her best not to let them effect her mood. It is easy to maintain her attention when it comes to battling or contests.

History: Carli grew up outside of Hoenn (in some random region), but moved there shortly after her failed coordinating career in Amani. Another girl was mistaken for her at the start of her first contest and failed miserably. This lost her all of her sponsors and backing and eventually led to her dropping out of the region entirely. Eventually, after a year-long break from contests, she decided to restart in Hoenn. While most assume that the experience in Amani would have negatively effected her, it simply gives her more strength to compete. She knows it wasn't her fault that she was dropped by others and is happy that they believe in her enough to support her. Carli is still unsure if she wants to challenge the gyms of the region, but her decision will be made with time.

Pokemon:

Charlie 
~lv. 30
Shed Skin
Wrap || Leer || Thunder Wave || Twister || Dragon Rage || Slam || Agillity

Carli met Charlie after a long day of practicing for her coordinating career. She exited the practice arena and eventually made her way to a lake in the town, where almost like a fairy tale, Charlie emerged from the water. He was a Dratini at this point in time, but still was just as beautiful. After a bit of watching, Carli approached it in an attempt to capture. It took a few consecutive days of visiting before the Dratini decided to join her team. Only recently did it evolve. The Pokemon is very level-headed and is able to keep its cool in both contests and battles. It acts almost as if it were a person.

Penn 
~lv. 30
Hyper Cutter/Sand Veil
Thunder Fang || Ice Fang || Fire Fang || Poison Jab || Sand-Attack || Harden || Knock Off || Quick Attack || Fury Cutter || Feint Attack || Acrobatics || Night Slash || U-turn

Penn was a battle-related capture. Back when Carli only had her Grumpig and Dratini, they were confronted by a slightly aggravated Gligar. It attempted to swoops over them and slash a couple times, but was completely unable. After about five minutes of unsafe travel on that route, Charlie timed a Twister to bring it down to the ground. After the capture, Penn was extremely resistant to its new trainer. He would often wonder off and not be found for days. Now that time has passed, the two have grown to respect eachother very much. Carli and Penn are a great battling team and are decent friends.

Bailey 
~lv. 30
Pickup/Gluttony
Play Rough || Rototiller || Switcheroo || Tackle || Growl || Tail Whip || Sand-Attack || Headbutt || Odor Sleuth || Mud Sport || Fury Swipes || Covet || Bestow

Bailey is Carli's baby. She caught it trying to steal from her bag one evening, but instead of scolding or battling it she decided to feed it. It turned out that it was pretty close to starving and just needed a good meal. It joined her team shortly after and became her favorite. It normally rests in her arms and is pretty passive outside of battle.

RP EXAMPLE: Do I have to?
