I know you said that the main Team Flare plot will come in near gym 4, but here's sort of a Team Flare side-character because villains are fun to RP as. (If you prefer not to bring in Team Flare at the moment, then I can always make a normal character)
Name: Mark Cavill, however he is now assigned the codename "MAS" for "Modified Assault Soldier"
Age: 16
Gender: Straight Male
Backstory: Born into a world of crime, Mark's parents were both respected commanders of the criminal organization Team Flare. Being of this organization, he grew up with Team Flare culture as the center of his world. Like most of the other unskilled low-level grunts, Mark was extremely flamboyant and quite a big showman, always making sure his looks were on-point. However, what set Mark apart from the others was his unfittingly compassionate heart. Despite their flashy nature, Team Flare grunts were trained specifically in being merciless crooks and they were expected to show as little weakness as possible, even if that meant causing harm to their own Pokemon. However, as mentioned earlier, Mark was different. Ever since he was little, to the distress of the Flare admins, Mark always had a soft heart and would always put the safety of his Pokemon as his top priority, often jeopardizing practice missions due to this.
This of course, worried Mark's parents, Rachel and Thomas Cavill, as they knew that if things didn't change, Mark would see very little success in the field. Unknowing to Mark, his parents consulted one of Team Flare's top researchers, Xerosic, for help. Frankly, the scientist couldn't care less about Mark's future, but was intrigued nonetheless by the prospect of having a live human to experiment on. As such, Xerosic agreed to work on a solution. After 7 months of intensive laboratory work, that solution was created. Xerosic had taken DNA samples from his Ursarang, which was known to be one of the most ruthless creatures in Team Flare's possession, and isolated an array of genes which magnified the Pokemon's killer instinct (Sorry, I don't know how this science stuff works). With this array, Xerosic developed an injection which inserted a small amount of the genes into a person; just enough to keep a human sane.
(1 day before present day) On his 16th birthday, Rachel and Thomas brought Mark up to Xerosic's lab, where the scientist called upon his signature Malamar to partially erase Mark's memory (To Mark's parents' surprise). The only thing his memory kept intact was his loyalty to Team Flare. Everything else was locked away deep inside his mind. Following this procedure, Xerosic gave Mark the injection and left him to rest. The next day (present day), Mark would promptly be sent on a solo mission with a single goal in mind: Battle as many trainers as possible. It was imperative to test the serum’s results against live opponents and there would be a perfect group of young trainers Mark’s (now dubbed “MAS”) age arriving the following day...
Appearance: Short brown hair with slight touches of red (Mark previously had the traditional Team Flare hair dye), hazy and unfocused eyes (after effects of the serum). Unlike Mark's standard red and white grunt outfit, the MAS attire consists of simple black pants and a black jacket with a faint Team Flare logo on the back. MAS is equipped with a collection of smoke grenades as well as a small earpiece to communicate with operators back at one of the Flare bases.
Personality: Highly unstable. If everything goes accordingly, MAS will likely be a cold-blooded monster. However, it's possible that past memories and traits may re-surface as the memories were not fully erased by Malamar's hypnosis.
Pokemon: (All of which are in luxury balls except Hydreigon)
Crobat
Frosmoth
Magmortar
Lucario
Roserade
Hydreigon (assigned by Team Flare)
(Starter Pokemon was Magby)
Crush: None.....yet
Other: Hello! This is my first time on Pokecharms and I'm still learning the ropes, so please do let me know if I'm doing anything wrong. Stay safe everybody!
