Name: Hal Haakonson
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Appearance:

• Average height
• Dark brown hair somewhat messy haircut
• Fair skin
• Blue eyes
• Norse-English accent
• Dark jeans and blue zip-up hoodie (hood down of course)

Personality:
Hal is a rather snarky, sarcastic teenager but is very loyal to his friends.
He battles just like he acts, with very calculated planned attacks.
Around his friends, Hal is a rather cheeky bastard, always looking for opportunities to snark off to authority behind its back and constantly trying to cheer up his friends with his comedic attitude. Around those he does not know however, Hal is very cautious and not always the first to initiate conversation but often warms up to people when he has judged their character sufficiently.

Strengths:
Hal is a thinker, he boasts a very strong intelligence in the theoretical.
His battles are often well thought out in advance.

Weaknesses:
Hal's expertise is really only in the theoretic, when it comes to practical tasks or even manual labour he struggles greatly.
When a battle takes a sudden turn for the unexpected he often hesitates instead of acting on his instincts.

Hal also has some issues with gambling and may require assistance should his urges get the better of him. It is not unlikely for him to lose his life savings in a night, wouldn't be the first time.

Starter Pokémon: Eevee

Goal:
Hal seeks inspiration for writing his adventure novel.
He is travelling all over Kanto to feel the real experience of adventure and battle, taking on the gym leaders as he goes along.

Extra detail:
Hal and his family immigrated to (Poké-London) when he was only 10 years old.
He carries a Norse hand-axe in his bag to remind him of his original home. He practices with it every evening thus making it one of the few practical skills he holds.

He also plays the balalaika

Name: Ashley Starlight

Age: 19

Gender: female

Appearance: http://lakevalor.net/uploads/imgs/pre_1428842944__image.jpg (Take out the mega ring and that's her. Yes I know I used my X/Y game to make her appearance. I'm too lazy to type out the description )

Personality: She's always wanted to go on an adventure. Ashley will love her Pokémon as if they are a part of her family. She's also loyal to her friends. Being bullied in the past by a lot of males had made her want to stay clear of them. So if she see's a male around her age, she'll remain quiet and maybe run off. She is very skilled when it comes to contests and performing for Pokémon.

Strengths: She can remember names easily, learns better by watching other people, contests, and is a good cook especially for sweets.

Weaknesses: spider looking Pokémon (is scared of them), and Chocolate (loves it and will stop to get at least one bar), and baby Pokémon (she will stop to pet them or help them if they're in danger)

Starter Pokémon: Da Unova Grass starter, Snivy [3D='495']

Goal: To learn everything about Pokémon and wants to know what she wants to do

Extra Detail: She's a vegetarian. xD She has met another Pokémon when she was younger so Growlithe wouldn't be the first Pokémon she's friends with, but that Pokémon is still wild (backstory)

Name:​

Koenig Grey (goes by his surname)​

Age:​

17​

Gender:​

Male​

Appearance:​

A tall, skinny boy with pale skin and lavender hair. Normally wears his hair long in the front and short in the back, so it covers his forehead in places. For clothing, he wears a black fedora with a grey band around it, and, as he accumulates Gym Badges, he pins them to his fedora. In addition, he wears a black hoodie with grey stripes along the sleeves unzipped over a white t-shirt. He wears black jeans, a pale grey belt with a gold buckle, and yellow and purple boots.​

Personality:​

Grey spent his childhood training in Pokémon Battling and Training. Because of this, Grey is more skilled than other "newbie" trainers, and is not afraid to let others know it. However, because he spent his childhood (when other children were socializing and making friends) in this manner, he is unaware of social graces and niceties and often comes off as rude or cold. He is easily annoyed at wrongness or incompetence, and, thusly, frequently corrects people, further adding to his cold and rude ethos. ​

Strengths:​

Grey is a better trainer compared to his contemporaries, but, because he is technically a "newbie", he is unskilled compared to more skilled trainers like gym leaders. In addition, he has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of Pokémon, including their types, moves, evolution charts, stats, and abilities because of his childhood spent training in battling. ​

Weaknesses:​

Because he is cold, rude, and almost antisocial, Grey has severe troubles associating and cooperating with others. In situations involving other trainers (such as, say, double battles), he will try to forcefully take charge and direct the battle by himself, resulting in his partner getting angry and distrusting him. Social skills in general are a weakness for Grey.​

Starter Pokémon:​

Grey has had a Ralts since childhood, but chooses not to take it with him when he goes to Kanto. He chooses a Piplup at Oak's lab.​

Goal:​

Grey's goal is simply to prove that he is the best trainer. If beating the gyms, defeating the Elite Four, or disbanding Team Rocket are in line with that goal, all the better, but his primary goal is just to be the best. ​

Extra Detail:​

Grey follows a very Machiavellian philosophy, especially when it comes to his goal of being the best trainer. He firmly believes that the ends justify the means, resulting in him being willing to do less than moral things. In addition, Grey does not hesitate to kill or severely injure his opponents to end a battle, and does not flinch at the sight of violence.​

Well Grey's looking slightly terrifying

 

Name: Farrah Elsin
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Appearance: http://i.imgur.com/Y9ubFCy.jpg
Her eyes are a bright blue and her hair is a shade of platinum blonde. She always wears an intrigued expression, as she's quite curious about the world around her! Upon her legs she wears a long pair of stockings, striped white and a light pink! Her shorts are white in color, and her shirt the same light pink of her stockings. The Pokéball present on her chest is white. Much like the stockings on her legs, the arm warmers she wears are also pink-and-white striped!

And, just like the rest of her clothing, her shoes and bag are also pink and white. Talk about color coordinated, huh?

Personality: As mentioned earlier, Farrah is a curious individual! She has quite the interest in Pokémon-related folklore and knows much about the legends and 'fairy tales' of all the regions. However, this slightly hinders her in conversation, as this is all she seems to talk about! Farrah often gets nervous and will start to blabber about a fairy tale or legend. When she catches on to her blabbering, embarrassment will wash over her and she'll quickly stutter an apology before probably going and hiding behind a rock or something.

Password: Wooper!!

Strengths:
-Her knowledge in folklore can be useful for understanding the customs of certain towns/people

Weaknesses:
-While she knows her folklore, she knows nothing about survival. Does she know how to set up a tent? No. Does she know what berries can be eaten? No. Where's the next town anyways???

Starter Pokémon: Ralts

Goals: To decipher the various folktales of the Kanto region. She wants to be able to prove/disprove the legends that surround the region!

 

Why?

 

"Grey does not hesitate to kill or severely injure his opponents"

Rather daunting don't you think?
As long as you're on our side...

 

I'm trying already xD
