Ashton "Ash" S. Ketchum
Age: 25, Born May 22, Pallet Town, Kanto
Height: 6'1
Bio: Ash was born to mother Delia Ketchum and (Redacted) Ketchum. His father left home when he was 3, leaving Delia to raise her son by herself. Ash was very intelligent for his age and quickly realized the stress his mother was putting on herself, and so at the age of 11 he left his home to travel the world, but made sure to stay in contact. Along his travels, he met and made many friends which he would travel with throughout a region, and on occasion throughout multiple regions. He often camped out in the wild and took up whatever job he could to make money, and therefore became self reliant and responsible. He made frequent contact with various criminal organizations along his travels such as Team Rocket and Team Galactic and often found himself thrown into conflicts between said organizations and the International Police. At the age of 18 he travelled to the Kalos region where he made quick friends with aspiring inventor Clemont and his younger sister Bonnie. While they were staying at Santalune City, Ash and Clemont were attacked by a Team Flare grunt, but they managed to defeat him with Ash landing the killing blow. This incident soon reached Flare leader Lysandre who, impressed by their actions, offered them a spot on the Team. Both of them accepted and Ash found himself shooting through the ranks to become one of the most capable members the Team could ask for.
Serena G. Yvonne
Age: 25, Born October 14, Vaniville Town, Kalos
Height: 5'9
Bio: Serena was born to mother Grace Yvonne and father Lysandre Yvonne. Her mother was a famed racer and her father a businessman-turned-mob boss. When Serena was 18, her mother came down sick and had to be hospitalized, resulting in her being raised by her father. While both her parents loved her dearly, she lived a very sheltered life, be it the isolated and quiet town of Vaniville, or the luxurious but lonely life with her father. Therefore Serena made very few friends throughout her life and had a very shy and reserved personality. She also had trouble figuring out what to do with her life ever since graduating college, having never taken interest in her majors nor did she had interest in following either of her parents' footsteps. Little would she know, her entire life would be turned upside down in just a week's time.
Goh, Last name unknown
Age: 23, Born August 5, Wyndon, Galar
Height: 6'0
Bio: Goh was born to mother Camille and father Walter. He was born in Wyndon but his family moved to Vermillion City due to work when he was just 3, the only evidence of his home region is his faint Galarian accent. Goh has never been the most social of people. Since both his parents were often away at work, Goh often spent entire days browsing the internet instead of going outside and playing with others. He made only two friends as a kid, a girl named Chloe and a boy named Horace, whom he had lost contact with at the age of 10. Goh went to the same school as Chloe and despite rarely showing up, did consistently good academically and started working for Chloe's father, Professor Cerise, at the age of 18. Initially excited as the job allowed him to see the world and see Chloe more often (whom he had developed feelings for), the novelty of the job wore off after a while. Goh found the professor to be quite dislikeable, often sending Goh to dangerous research missions without consideration for his safety, working him long hours, terrible scheduling, and rarely does he credit Goh in any of his published research. Goh also noticed that the professor seems more invested in his work than spending time with his family. Goh has since then tried to find ways to escape but never seemed to succeed, until Ash came along. Ash was sent to steal research and was caught red-handed, but Goh asked to escape the region with Ash, who quickly agreed. Goh then joined Team Flare and became Ash's trusty partner and friend.
Chloe K. Cerise
Age: 23, Born May 14, Vermillion City, Kanto
Height: 5'9
Bio: Chloe was born to mother Talia Cerise and father Sakuragi Cerise, Chloe seemed cold and serious to strangers but is a genuinely kind and caring person. She takes a realistic and calculated approach to problems. She befriended Goh when they were 6 years old and they remained close friends since then. While she found his energetic, simple-minded personality annoying at times, she couldn't help but like him for it. Chloe attended school and did well, and nobody would have imagined she chose the path she is walking right now. However, her life at home was far from perfect. Her father was neglectful and rarely spends time with her while her mother is a painter but struggled to make ends meet. When Goh came through her window one night and offered to run away with him and Ash to Kalos and start anew, she accepted. She currently works as a contractor and broker for Lysandre and is quite a successful one at that, too. She and Goh officially entered a relationship at the age of 22 and got a house in suburban Lumiose.
Gary S. Oak
Age: 25, April 1, Pallet Town, Kanto
Height: 6'1
Bio: Gary was born to father Blue Oak and an unnamed mother. Gary's grandfather was the famous Professor Oak and due to his father's status, Gary lived a luxurious lifestyle. He became friends with Ash when both were just 3, and the two were inseparable. However, as Gary got older he let his status get to his head and started to bully and tease Ash, causing the two to become distant. When Ash left Pallet Town, Gary thought he was responsible for Ash running away and realized the errors in his ways, he seeked to change himself. Gary also travelled the world and by chance reunited with Ash in Sinnoh. Gary apologized for his actions but was quickly forgiven, as Ash revealed the true reason why he ran away. Their friendship rekindled, the Pallet Town travelers remained in contact since. After Ash joined Team Flare, Gary was offered a position by Ash, and he accepted, wanting to spice up his life. Gary works as an informant, sent to gather information on targets and contact before missions. Gary's charismatic and charming personality made him perfect for this job, easily gaining the trust of a target and gathering intel about them. While he continues to have an arrogant and prideful personality, he no longer treats others as inferior to him, and never bears true malice behind his teasing or remarks.
