Personality: Wes may seem rude, stern, or secluded upon first meeting him, but that is merely a front he puts on. In reality Wes is as kind as they come, dreaming of one day becoming an apothecary before he was dragged into the life of a rogue. He has genius level intelligence and pairs that with his great agility to out maneuver enemies in combat, making up for his lack of raw physical strength. His kind soul has been tarnished as a result of growing up, losing faith in the notion of a good and fair world. He has a large desire to gain money, which can make him appear greedy, but in reality he seeks wealth so he can help others.

Connections: Lots of random people he has helped throughout Kalos

Alignment: He has lost faith in the notion of good and bad and operates in a gray area. He has a strong personal moral code (helping the innocent) but will do things others would deem “bad” to succeed in his goals.
Pokemon: Aerodactyl, Joltik
Backstory: Wes came from a small village that was not even on the map. One year a plague tore through the village and many people fell ill and it often resulted in death. Wes’s younger sister was on the verge of dying when a traveling apothecary came through and cured everyone in the village with the only fee being just enough to pay for the medicine, food to eat, and a place to sleep. Wes admired this apothecary and decided to journey with him as an apprentice. While traveling alongside him he learned medicine and was taught the concept that simply being a good person would allow you to make it in the world. One day after a couple years of traveling together a gang of thieves attempted to mug them, but they did not believe the apothecary when he said he had very little money, as it usually is a wealthy field. The thieves were angered by his small offering of a few coins, which in reality was all he had, and attacked him, thus killing the apothecary. When Wes tried to fight back one of the thieves slashed his chest, leaving him to die. He awoke later taken in by a different guild of Rogues and was forced to to grunt work in order to pay back the debt of his life. However, due to his natural talent he quickly rose through the ranks and was given a high title and great gear (the one-handed crossbow, daggers, and leather armor). After living a life of crime for a few years, he began to forget about his previous dreams, as he received a good fortune as a highly skilled thief and assassin. One day, however, he heard the guild leader bragging about a raid he had done a few years back in a small village that sounded like his own home. He snuck away that night and traveled on Aerodactyl to his hometown, where he was agonized to find it in ruins. He returned to the guild that night, killed the leader and lit the base on fire. He fled on Aerodactyl and has since traveled as a rogue, doing apothecary work for free but gaining the money to do so by doing shady business as a rogue.
Pokemon's Backstory: He was on a quest to recover lost treasure from a cave deep underground that was left by a previous group of rogues that never returned. Upon reaching the bottom he found an Aerodactyl looming over their bones. They engaged in a fight and Wes succeeded in tricking it into crashing into a wall and trapping itself under dislodged rocks. The Aerodactyl began screeching in fear and Wes soon discovered a Joltik that looked mistreated and was attached to a choker collar and a leash. He concluded that the previous band of rogues had enslaved the poor Pokémon (as he heard of guilds that often did) and Aerodactyl has killed them out of anger. He quickly began healing Joltik and freed it from his restraints, earning Aerodactyl’s favor. After healing Joltik he dislodged Aerodactyl from the rocks and worked on healing him. Upon recovering Aerodactyl presented Wes with a treasure chest, upon opening it he found extremely rare and valuable items, including an obsidian gauntlet, an elvish cloak that can conceal your presence in shadows or darkness when the hood is drawn, elvish boots that muffle the sound of your footsteps, and a high carbon steel sword with an obsidian guard with a yellow topaz embedded in the middle of it, sharkskin grip, and an obsidian pommel with a gold covering over the back side of it. In addition to these great gifts, Aerodactyl and Joltik decided to travel with Wes and lend him their abilities.
Skills: Great stealth, genius intellect, great agility, combat (sword, twin daggers, one-handed crossbow, basic hand to hand), medicinal knowledge, lock picking, thievery, basic illusion magic, very little combat magic.
Extra info:
- While Wes is very weak in combat magic on his own, Joltik will combine forces with him and give him a power boost. For example Joltik may use thunder wave to embed his sword with electricity, use toxic to make his arrows poisonous, use string shot on his arrows to create grappling hooks, use gastro acid to melt barriers, use discharge to “charge” Wes and make him faster and stronger, etc. The idea is that neither is extremely powerful on their own but are very formidable together. Additionally, when combining forces, Wes’s attacks resemble actual Pokémon moves (like a poison coated sword representing poison jab or rapid firing arrows representing pin missile)
- Aerodactyl is a power house and will fight on his own to support Wes. He is otherwise used for transportation but when he is not needed he can be seen flying around high in the sky keeping an eye on Wes just in case.
