Hey hello here's my character!
Oh also the thing with Rotom can be changed if it's not alright, no worries-

I'm honestly free to join wherever (once my character is accepted ofc), but I'd really like a synopsis of what's happening exactly where

Name: Lara Brook
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Trainer Class: Traveler/Photographer (I guess??)

Physical Appearance: Lara's a young woman, standing at a height of about 5'4 or around 162 cm with a chubbier and curvier frame than the average girl. She has quite fair skin, but has a quite a bit of freckles sprinkled around her, mainly her cheeks and her shoulders. Her hair is a reddish-brown and wavy reaching well past her shoulder blades. However, it's kept in a braid for most of the time, so it usually appears a lot more wavy when she eventually untangles her messy braid. She has quite long bangs that are parted in the middle, framing her face quite nicely.

Clothing: Lara really enjoys dressing up and putting effort into her appearance, but sadly due to the nature of her job for the most of the time she isn't allowed that luxury. She often just throws on something comfortable, casual and at least somewhat practical like, a white t-shirt with a nice pastel pink sweater thrown on, which has similar colors to a galarian ponyta's mane. Other than that she chucks on either a pair of gray joggers or some casual jeans depending on how she's feeling. She has the most generic black and white shoes, but they get the job done. Now for accessories.. that's a whole different story. Not on her sweater, but on some of her other outfits she likes to decorate them with little pokemon (often based in wordplay) themed pins, but especially wears them on her satchel where she stores most of her camera equipment in. She wears a simple necklace with a small disk pendant. She has a couple of different hat wear, but she most commonly is seen wearing a pastel purple beanie with some pins adorning it, unless it's too warm to wear beanies.

Lara.png

Personality: Lara is a bit shy even if she enjoys being around people. It's just the part of talking with them that can easily fluster her, which can be a slight hinderance whenever she takes on any sort of journalism gig. She loves pokemon, finding it easier to be and talk with them and she adores the outdoors. These facts quite often being reflected in her camera or phone gallery of consisting 80% (at least not counting any work related pictures) of either pokemon, nature or a combination of both. She's diligent and works hard for her craft and is happy to share her pictures, though you probably have to go out of your way to ask see them. She's described as a sweet , but shy young woman, who has a knack for the outdoors and to explore. As much as she is for new experiences she is far from a decent battler, that particular field being quite stressful in her experience if she's somehow roped into a battle and would much rather be apart of the audience. Contests are a different thing on the other hand. Maybe because it's more of a visual medium and her having an artistic eye, but she has considered every now and then at the possibility of dabbling in contests. If she manages to get the courage to do it at least..

Backstory: Lara hails from Unova, Nimbasa city. A city full of life both during the day and night. She grew up in a loving family together with her younger brother, her parents always encouraging them to follow their desires. Lara showed an affinity towards pokemon from a young age, having a tendency to sometimes stopping to look or pet someone's pokemon (with permission of course).

She started photography as a hobby around the age of 14, just taking pictures with her a cheap-ish digital camera her parents had bought her for her birthday. Not too long after she happened to stumble upon a particularly mischievous little ghost pokemon while she was on her way home during a late evening. It was Rotom. Now Lara had met her share of wild pokemon, but she had the foresight to evade them since she didn't have a pokemon of her own, but this little spark of electricity seemed to be interested in her. Or rather a the little camera she was carrying. Without Lara even having the chance to react, the rotom took the liberty of taking possession of the thing and just began snapping away with the camera. The gallery quickly filled up with fuzzy and unfocused pictures of the most random things as it happily floated away with a panicked Lara running after it. This was her camera. Her parents had gifted it to her! She couldn't just let a little thief like this get away with taking something that was precious for her! A short while later the Rotom stopped, confused why the device had stopped working. The gallery was filled up and when Lara finally caught the little burglar she quickly demanded the creature to get out of her camera. Figuring that the owner of the device could fix the problem, the Rotom obeyed, but as soon as Lara got her camera back she turned away and began to resume her walk home, but the Rotom persisted. They followed her, Lara trying to tell the creature to not follow her anymore until she checks her camera. The gallery was filled to the brim with pictures, and not with any good ones.. bummed she began to slowly delete away these pictures as the Rotom watched over her shoulder still, seemingly mesmerized by their "work". After some more persisting Lara realized that the pokemon apparently shared a passion with her. She didn't exactly know why, or maybe because she didn't have anyone really to share this passion with, she began to go through the camera's functions to the rotom. Even taking a picture of them and showing the 'propper' way to take pictures. The creature was completely ecstatic, and wanted to take another go at taking a picture. After some hesitancy Lara let the creature take control and to her surprise they tried to utilize what Lara tried to teach them, getting a semi decent picture of her. After that day the two became companions, quite a surprise for Lara's parents' when their daughter came home late in the evening with a new friend alongside with her.

Eventually Lara decided to take steps to make efforts to take photography seriously as a job, ready to take on almost any type of job to advance her portfolio and to gain more experience together with her partner Rotom. Even ready to travel to different regions to see what they have to offer.

Species: Rotom
Ability: Levitate

Personality: Impish - Very much a typically mischievous ghost type pokemon. They love to play pranks on humans and pokemon alike. However, they are really serious about their work and like to boast about it, loving it when Lara shows pictures that they have taken and boasting about it. The little specter is also a bit hot headed so they might zap ya if you don't appreciate their work.

Appearance: Pretty much your typical Rotom. Zaps about and sporting a wide grin most of the time. Lara’s Rotom does differ a bit as it tends to take on a “Camera” form to help out their trainer with her line of work and happen to share the same passion for photography.

Moves:
Battle ready moves:
Flash (Camera form only)
Double team
Astonish
Thunder Wave
Confuse ray
Shockwave

CameraRotom.png

Nickname: Toast
Species: Mudbray
Gender: Male
Ability: Stamina

Personality: Docile - Looking at Toast it looks like there are no thoughts going on inside his head and you are completely right in making that assumption. Its blank stares become rarely focused outside the premise of food and treats. Snacks seem to be the only thing motivating this pokemon to do pretty much anything.

Appearance: Being from Galar, Toast looks a tad different than the average member of his species by having longer hair and fur, notably its main, tail and by its legs, it appears that it's also a bit wavy.

Other: Being from Galar, Toast looks a tad different than the average member of his species by having longer hair and fur, notably its main, tail and by it's legs, it appears that it's also a bit wavy.

Stomp

The little specter is also a bit hot headed so they might zap ya if you don't appreciate their work.
Other: I was thinking that the rotom would frequently take control over a digital camera that Lara has given to them to mess around with as well as to actually help out with when it comes to real photography gigs. This form would be not be used in battle at all with the in universe reasoning being that Lara doesn't want to damage the camera and have to pay for a new one. I do understand if you want to stick with there only being the 'in universe' forms, but I wanted my idea to get out there at least-
Moves: Double Team, Shadow Ball, Volt Switch, Electro Ball,
Looks good, accepted! I don't mind the Rotom camera, I encourage you to add your own innovations and spins to the world as long as they make sense. I'm also pretty sure RotomDex has a camera so it should be fine.

To add to Cmeri's summary, the most active regions are currently Johto, Galar, and Kalos. These are off the top of my head:

In Galar, in a few days, there will be a World Coronation Series match between Acacia (Rank 9) and Leon (Rank 1), my character Esther is there to watch the match so she can get a feel for battling. In the meantime, she's stumbled upon some Pokemon poachers. In the same area, Cmeri's character Fiery is dealing with a furious Hydreigon.

In Kalos, a small-time criminal Monty (Patriot's char) has gotten his first Pokemon and has just run into Acer (Retro's char) a debt slave being forced to fight in an underground fight club.

In Johto, the pokemon park to be specific, Emma (cmeri's char) is doing some vigilante work next to Desmond (Jacob's char) who's also a photographer. They've just chased off Charade (Shen's char) who was aspiring to greater evils but started by vandalizing the fountain in the pokemon part, he's now planning a heist.

Elsewhere in Johto, route 32, Reina (Hec'c char) is participating in a small tournament in preparation for her next gym challenge.
 
Name: Nicole Newman

Gender: Female (She/Her)

Age: 23

Trainer Class: Bird Keeper

Physical Appearance: Nicole stands at 5'7 and weighs 121 pounds. She has brown skin, though it is broken up by white patches due to her having a condition called vitiligo which breaks down pigment cells in her body. On her arms, she has multiple small scars from taking care of her partner Pokémon. She has black curly hair that is kept in a low bun and on her lower stomach, she has a tattoo of two Skarmory wings intersecting to make a heart. She has blue eyes, three black stud earrings in each ear and wears a red flute around her neck. In her nostril, she has a stud piercing.

Clothing: Nicole prefers to wear sturdy, yet fashionable clothes. Typically she can be seen wearing denim pants with a white shirt, a sleeveless black denim vest and sturdy hiking boots. She has a simple brown leather satchel on her hip where she keeps the treats for her Skarmory, so it is showing some wear. Nicole has a large backpack where she keeps her travelling essentials, along with a large leather glove for her left arm.

Personality: Nicole is a fan of nature and often takes long walks through forests and the like, where she can spend hours just looking at whatever catches her attention. She is also very dilligent, having trained her Skarmory and the other Pokémon that her parents own to the point where she doesn't have to worry about them flying away, as they will return to their roost eventually. Whenever she is out with friends or family, she is more content with listening than with talking, as she always feels like she is hogging the spotlight. It is slowly getting better due to her helping her parents with shows, but she's still a bit withdrawn.

Whilst she is not quite a pushover, she has no real desire to battle as all she can think about is the mess that she will have to take care of. She's more content to be watching or training than actually participating in a fight.

Backstory: Nicole is originally from Lentimas Town, where her parents run a falconer business. They travelled across the country to give shows and educate people on the importance of raptorian Pokémon, as well as keeping airports clear from Pokémon like Pidove who could get trapped in the turbines and cause accidents. They also helped keeping farms clear from any pests, which was quite important in the arid region around Lentimas. When Nicole was 15, she was deemed responsible enough for her own Pokémon and as luck would have it, a Lentimas inhabitant had brought in a wounded Skarmory that was hostile to everyone who dared to get close.

It was a long process to try and get the Skarmory to trust her, as the Pokémon was badly injured, naturally distrusting of humans and incredibly stubborn. Thankfully, Nicole was patient and knew that even the most willing Pokémon were trained for 7 to 10 years before they could be used for the business, and when Nicole was 22, the Skarmory who was dubbed Cassidy was comfortable enough around her that she could enter the enclosure without getting attacked mercilessly. Cassidy even allowed Nicole to take care of hard to reach places that were itchy, though she had yet to understand the squishiness of her caretaker.

When Nicole and Cassidy were close enough to fully trust each other, they left on a journey as wanderlust surged through her veins. She had a Pokémon that was strong and that could carry her when flying, so why would she stay in a desert town?

Starter: Cassidy the Skarmory

Appearance: Cassidy has two blackened spots on the back of her wings, the aftermath of an angry Camerupt that tried to protect her calf. Whilst Skarmory naturally shed their feathers each year, the dark spots never truly faded away as they were caused by a critical hit Lava Plume, permanently scorching her wings and leaving a mark that is sensitive to touch. So far, only Nicole is allowed to touch them and even she rarely does so. Another defining feature of Cassidy is her unyielding gaze that if looked at for too long, sends shivers down the spine of everyone. Her piercing yellow eyes are attributed to her Keen Eye ability, allowing her to always keep an eye on her prey and ensuring that unless they go underground, there is no escape.

Personality: Cassidy is very much opposed to the touch of strangers, only allowing people she truly trusts to touch her. This is in part due to her markings and in part due to the solitary nature of Skarmory. If provoked, which can take as little as someone making a funny face at her, she will clatter and scrape with her metallic feathers and screech at the offender, causing a horrible noise. That being said, she has a more gentle side when she does trust someone, occassionally nuzzling up to someone in spite of her razor sharp wings.

Moveset: Metal Sound, Peck, Sand Attack, Leer, Fury Attack, Metal Claw, Agility, Wing Attack

Here we go again.

Name: Ron Towers
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Trainer Class: Battler
Physical Appearance:
Ever seen a punk? That's Ron. he has a long Mohawk that is combed backwards since he is too lazy to fix it up. His hair is dark blue, unknown whether that's natural or not. He has brown eyes, like the color of a dark beer bottle. He always has this mean look on him as if the fact of only existing annoys him. He always has a clean shave and his skin is always clean, despite his punk look. His nails are painted black. He has long slender body, tone muscles but nothing too big, just the results of training to keep up with his future Pokemon. He is 6'2 in height, weights 85 Kilos. He has a slight tan on his skin that is only noticeable when compared to others.
Clothing:
He wears a black muscle shirt with a jean vest over it that has two spikes above each shoulder. The vest has a picture of an Infernape playing the drums on the back. He has a brown wristband on his left hand and two silver fingers on both index and thumbs. His ears are decorated with silver piercings. He has black jeans that are torn on his right thigh showing his skin. He wears dark gray military boots that are always a bit dirty.
Personality:
Ron from far away looks mean and the type of person who would bullying people for their lunch money, up close, he also looks like that. However, he is just annoyed by the world, frustrated. The only things he likes are Pokemon, Battles, eating or drinking what he enjoys and music. He usually has this grumpy and serious aura around him, but once you get to know him he is actually a person who cares for others and sometimes just wants to be left alone, specially when there are too many annoying people around him. He is very patient, probably because he has different ways of dealing with his frustrations.
Backstory:
Ron was born in Goldenrod City, being the first born out of three. He lived there the first few months of his life and then moved to Kalos. There he grew up, being the older brother of two twin sisters. He had a big love for Pokemon battles and always trained himself so he could one day set out on his journey. However he had an argument with his dad, with the result being Ron leaving his house. His attitude was too much for his parents to keep track or try to contain. After a few weeks he went back home where both parents agreed he should start his journey on his own. Ron agreed, thinking this was the best way to keep a healthy relationship with his parents, who he never got along with, specially his dad.
He traveled through Johto first, trying to prove himself in his native region. He joined a rock punk band there, being the drummer, where he also fell in love with the vocalist. As much as he liked playing in the Underground of Goldenrod, he wasn't about to let himself stay distracted. He began by training around the area of the big city, using the National Park and Pokeathlon to improve his team. After a month or so, his team consisted of Quilava, Cranidos and Poliwhirl. He of course went on to challenge Whitney and after a few attempts, he finally got his badge. That wasn't everything he won though, as he ended up in a few dates with the famous gym leader until once again Ron decided he needed to continue his path and was not looking forward to a long distance relationship.
Ron's journey took him to the west of Johto, where he caught a Warturtle on the way to Cinnewood Town. Upon arrival, Chuck took interest to the battle ready team Ron had, specially his Poliwhirl. The punk agreed to train along side the fighting gym leader, looking to improve himself even further. By the end of his training, the gym battles was a one on one, Ron's new Poliwrath versus Chuck's Poliwrath. After a hard fought battle, Ron lost, but his improvement was enough to earn him the badge. The team then continued on to challenge the rest of the gym leaders, earning him the rest of the badges and a full team of Quilava, Rhampardos, Poliwrath, Fearow, Raichu and Blastoise.
Saddly, his rain had to come to an end, when he received news that his mother had passed away. Dropping his entry in the Pokemon League that year, Ron went back home. It seemed a small gathering of some Team Rocket members had attacked a Pokemon Contest in Kalos, something Mrs. Towers was a big fan of and sometimes even participated herself, never winning first place, but always happy to be part of the experience. When Ron found out what had happened, his heart filled with vengeance. Of course his father tried to stop him, but this just caused for their relationship to split further apart. Ron cut ties with him and his sisters, not wanting any of them to follow the path he had chosen to take.
The following years he traveled from region to region, following any rumors of any Rockets being sighted. He kept improving his skills and increasing his team. The only one who remained the same was his Quilava, who seemed to not want to evolve until Ron was ready to do so himself. Until this day, Ron continues to travel, searching and looking to find who killed his mother.

What's the storyline with Galar? I wasn't following
Alright! So here's the entire situation:

On one side we had an angry Hydreigon who was the cause of an air restriction, the authorities called a ranger to deal with it; however, they discovered traces of pokemon poachers. Since the Poachers are a greater risk than the Hydreigon the ranger went after them while they enlisted help from Fiery to deal with the Hydreigon. After a battle, Fiery managed to catch the Hydreigon but at around the same time, the ranger discovered a crashed airship, a poacher's airship.

The airship appears abandoned, but numerous pokemon statues have been found and a number of tracks appear to lead away from the airship. So the rangers, police, and any OC who wants to tag along will follow the tracks and hunt down the poachers.
 
Alright, apologies for an accidental Alt sandwich if it happens, but let's get this new character into the mix.

Name: Caeyis Fairspark Moregau

Gender: Female, but is fine with both she/her and they/them.

Age: 19yrs

Trainer Class: Battler, currently sat at rank 12,732. Does Contests and Showcases occasionally, but nowhere near on Colored's level.

Physical Appearance: Standing at a fair 5'4, Caeyis is almost a pinnacle of good physical health. She's rather bulky for a female of her age, with somewhat muscular and somewhat tanned skin to her. The seaweed green contacts she has are used to cover her more 'boring' brown eyes and she also has a shoulder length, chestnut brown bob with cyan streaks in it.

Clothing: Caeyis keeps to the same outfit extremely often. A verdant green tank top and shorts with a more saturated colour, plus ankle height black boots and a thin, brown overcoat. There seems to be a small patch on said overcoat which sport the colours of a traditional pansexual flag.

Personality: To put it simply, Caeyis sees potential in everything and everyone. She's extremely patient and is willing to train even the most stubborn Pokémon that fall into her care, which is why most of her own Pokémon don't question any ideas she may have out of trust. Even with a fairly high ranking in the WCS, Caeyis still opts to use weaker Pokémon in minor matches to help them uncover some potential. This appears to be the case with one particular Pokémon she battles with at the moment, who despite still being in training is prideful enough to want to take on proper WCS matches. And Caeyis, her ever kind self, is seeing it through for them.

Backstory: I'll leave this out. It's optional, so there you go.

ALL MOVES BELOW LEGAL, checked on the Pokémon Database.

Starter: A Tropius by the name of Verdoyante. Moves being Energy Ball, Air Slash, Attract and Earthquake.
Other Pokémon:

A Kantonian Sandslash called Morris. Moves being Sand Tomb, Dig, Rapid Spin and Agility.

A Goodra called Mack. Moves being Aqua Tail, Poison Tail, Thunder Punch and Dragon Pulse.

A Braixen called Wisp. Moves being Light Screen, Flamethrower, Sunny Day and Flame Charge.

Caeyis has plenty more Pokémon besides from these four due to experience, and when she obtains one from her boxes said new 'mon shall be fairly introduced.

accepted o7 have fun!
 
So is the ultimate weapon thing just a guess as to what the statues are or is this part of a planned plotline?
The Statues are Pokemon that have been turned to stone.

Acacia, based on the assortment of Pokemon there, correctly deduced where they came from with the Pokedex. They come from Kalos' route 10 and then he goes on to make an inference on why it was that area specifically. I will neither confirm nor deny if this was planned.
