Characters

Hello everyone! Yes… I know I said that this would be starting back up in August. Though that is not today... Today your getting 2 Side Chapters, as you can tell this will be about the a basic descriptions of the characters and their teams, with a small side of what they're beta stories/ personalities were like. The other chapter will just be a recap of all story events since I haven't posted in over a month. other than that, see you next week for Chapter 43! Now onto the characters:

Lucille (Lucy) Luxen [Umbrasyl]: Female lead. Has Blonde hair, originally from the reborn region. When she was there calamity was about in the region. Her mother didn't like it, and when she was given the chance, she took her away thinking to never return. Years later her mother relents and tells Lucille the region that they were originally from. Her mother warned her if she returns, she might find peace there, but was unlikely. The reason Lucille was taken away from Reborn was around the region's economic downfall, especially after Lucille almost died to the hands of a Hydreigon. When Lucille finally awoke, she had no memories of her past. Lucille has a twin brother Nero, but was separated after Lucille almost died, but due to amnesia had no recollection of him. Lucille, she isn't the most experienced trainer… She had a boring life in the town her mother brought her to, but still had her naturally joyous attitude. In the town she grew up in, she was a sparkling light. She was always cheery, and helped her friends whenever they asked, never asking anything in return. She's a good person, with wanting to be a hero.

Her current team:

Chesnaught: Theros, her chosen starter. (originally the Treecko line but was retconned to the Chespin line. Was only changed because I liked the idea of the characters all having starters from the same generation). Theros is easy going, one of Lucille's calmest Pokémon. It has a slow nature but willing to take a hit to give a hit.

Arcanine: Blaze, a Pokémon she got for helping all of the missing Police officers. In the story she and Percival found all of the missing officers, which should have made it the Police Found timeline. Though Nero had stopped it creating the Police Farce timeline. Blaze is extremely loyal to Lucille for her bravery, and desire to help who she can. Blaze is unique as she is a shiny Arcanine (Reborn shiny is Blue). [though it is under consideration to make Blaze the same color as a regular Arcanine]

Gothitelle: Athena, A Pokémon she got while cleaning the Beryl Ward Library. Athena out of all her Pokémon has gotten the least amount of screen time. Easily considering to retcon her.

Gyarados: Livia, a Pokémon that was traded to her by Marie. Livia is right now one of Lucille's mightiest Pokémon, with Lucille still learning to control Livia to the best of her abilities.

Percival (Percy) Jeramiah von Decibel Leonardo De Whitehall III: Male Lead (Technically. Percival's in game sprite is considered to be a Non-Binary character. Though I feel like I should make him more androgynous.) his personality is somewhat similar to Cain. He is bit of a show off, and is an experienced trainer. His family is known as great and respectful trainers. Percy… he never lived up to his parents' expectations, and he has brothers and sisters who easily have out classed him. Due to knowing that he is pretty much a not the favorite person in the family/ how he was related to everyone…One day between he got sick of the torment of his parents, and now he has chosen to take on the Reborn League. A Region he had heard from his parents years ago, about how they tried it and failed. Percy sees this quest as a way to prove himself. Percival is a nice person, but usually with a temper. He does try his best to be a nice to everyone. But disrespect him, his Pokémon, or his friends, and he will get angry.

Current Team:

Leafeon: Vee, the Eevee that was given to Percival. Despite it being a Leafeon, Percival and Vee wanted vee to become an Espeon. Though it is clear that this didn't happen. Percival's brother Kuro forced Vee to evolve into a Leafeon. Percival and Vee were powerless to stop it, Vee was so horrified she didn't eat for nearly a week.

Gardevoir: Artemis, a shiny Ralts from Reborn, it was his mother's Pokémon given to him. Percival trusts Artemis with his life as he does with most of his Pokémon. Though her life in Reborn wasn't long, Artemis hopes find someone while there.

Milotic: Phoebe, The beautiful serpent of Percival's team. Given to him as an egg by his grandfather. Percival was surprised to see the egg hatch into a Feebas, but accepted her well with total belief in her. During an altercation between Percival and his sister Ari, Phoebe evolved into Milotic. Phoebe has been for a while, been Percival's strongest. but is more gentle of Percival's Pokémon, Phoebe seeing her fellow team growing stronger is happy to see that everyone will be able to protect Percival.

Metagross: Steel, another Pokémon that was given to him as an egg by his Grandfather. One Pokémon he half expected to get, since his Grandfather's signature Pokémon was a Metagross. Though it was laughed at by Ari and Kuro since Beldum were one of the weakest Pokémon, Percival out of his siblings is the only one to have a pseudo legendary.

Delphox: Oracle, the fire fox. One Percival's most recent Pokémon. (Originally was the Chimchar Line, but Psychic seemed to fit his theme better). The probably one of the few Fire types Percival likes. Percival knows a lot about Psychic types and their abilities… It's really only a matter of time before he and Oracle tries something interesting. As you know, it's named Oracle for a reason.

Aerodactyl: Aeros, the most recent addition to Percival's team. Aeros life hasn't been long, but Percival already senses the power and purpose that resides in Aeros. Percival doesn't want to let him down.

Nero Umbrasyl: Male lead. Has black hair, and lived in Reborn his whole life. Though that life was only filled with hardships. He has black hair even though his parents were both blonde, and birth mark on his chest. That mark looks like a hole where his heart should be. He has a natural attraction darkness, the same is applied on the other side. He has been ridiculed multiple times for Dark-types together near him. Nero had a twin sister. That sister didn't believe that her brother was a Demon. His twin was the only light that Nero had. But something happened, something bad. It was around the time Nero first met Grim. He showed his sister Grim, but then they were attacked. His sister got badly injured. He and his dad were told that his sister died, and his mom left them. His dad only blamed him. With how close to darkness he lived, that was his breaking point. Nero dived into darkness, becoming who he is now. Nero is part of Team Meteor, as an admin.

Current Team:

Absol: Grim, one of Nero's most trusted Pokémon. Grim is also known as The Grim Reaper. Mainly because of its black fur and white horn, pretty much making him look like a personified Grim Reaper. Though that full nickname came later in life.

Zoroark: Hela, Nero's sneakiest Pokémon. They met while Nero was living on the streets, Nero wasn't too good at stealing, neither was Hela originally. The two met, and worked together increasing their skills. Hela's level of trickery is extremely high.

Houndoom: Hades, it's not too much of a spoiler, but Nero was in the Magma Gang in Reborn City. Hades is Nero's hell fire. Nero learned with Hades by his side, that the Pokedex entry on a Houndoom's Flame is completely true.

Honchkrow: Raven, this is Nero's flyer. Nero usually uses Raven to get from place to place. Out of his six Pokémon she has had the least amount of thought to her backstory. I have a slight idea about her… but I don't think I'll share it.

Greninja: Izanami, the starter… This was given to Nero by Ame, when Nero became the back-up Dark-type Gym leader. Nero likes to take advantage of the Protean ability of his Greninja. Izanami is also Nero's fastest Pokémon, easily able to keep up with Hela's Illusions.

Hydreigon: Orcus, The Demolisher. One of Nero's most recent Pokémon, as you can guess, Lucille was heavily injured because of a Hydreigon. Rationally, one would think Nero despises these Pokémon. He slightly does, but understands that all Pokémon are different. Some Pokémon can be naturally bad. While others look bad, but are nice.

Marie Whitehall: Secondary Female Lead. In all actuality when I made this story, I was just strong on going for three characters: Shiro, Lucille, and Nero. Marie was created approximately around the same time Chapter 19 was made, while I was thinking about the Whitehall family. There was no Beta Marie. Only Marie Whitehall. She is extremely smart, and actually cunning. But tends to be careless, often by her own choice (Hence likeing the idea of using the train to crash through the rubble in chapter 33 [yes, she was decided to be made over 10 chapters before she appeared].). She actually doesn't care too much for Pokémon battles, she prefers to do math and science eventually becoming an engineer. This is also probably because the Whitehall Family name is passed from father to eldest son. One slight weakness of Marie is that she's insecure about her height.

Current Team:

Jolteon: Sparky, Marie's given Eevee in its eeveelution form. Giving the fact that the first Pokémon of a Whitehall is an Eevee, I had a lot to consider when making the team. I got the idea from Jolteon (one of my favorite Eeveelutions) that Marie should have an Electric based team. almost all of her Pokémon are named after scientists, or other things relating to science. Sparky is Marie's oldest partner, having their trust in each other deep.

Electivire: Tesla, More or less because of a Tesla Coil. Tesla rivals Sparky in terms of raw power. Tesla standing at 2 meters tall (6.56 ft), he is Marie's tallest Pokémon. Marie was exactly excited for her baby Elekid to become so tall. But Tesla often protects her when she does something dangerous. Making him her trusted Pokémon.

Rotom: Franklin, named from Benjamin Franklin. This name came as Franklin came from a fan that Marie found something wrong with. The idea of Rotom-Fan, gave Franklin its name. Franklin for whatever reason knows a lot of code, and helps Marie with programing. It is debatable to have Franklin have multiple forms or just stay in its base form

Eelektross: Geissler, name given as its original form of Tynamo resembles a Geissler tube. One that Marie trusts enough to lend to Percival.

Ampharos: Edison, with its bright lighthouse capabilities, it is almost poetic to name an Ampharos after the man who created the lightbulb. Marie had gotten this guy as a Mareep. The amount of times she shocked herself on Edison's wool is too many to count.

Lanturn: Shuckie, there was no real scientific name reason. Only my part, ever see the poke-tuber Original 151. If you do, then you know why I named the Lanturn Shuckie. Not too sure about the backstory on Shuckie.

Beta Percival: He originally didn't have such a long name. His original was basically Nero's Pet name "Shiro". Shiro lived in the same town as Lucille as kids, but was originally from Reborn. One fact about Shiro, he was Nero's twin originally… but both were just too young to actually remember each other. Shiro was the one to have an Absol Mark, instead of Lucille. That Absol that chose Shiro actually scared Lucille causing Lucille to have a fear of Dark-types, and Shiro to dislike Absols. I did ditch their original teams but the members that I remember was that.

Beta Team: Much like Percival, Shiro had a Leafeon, Milotic, Gardevoir. But unlike Percival, Shiro had been planned to have Accelgor, Infernape, and Absol.

Beta Lucille: She had a good amount changed about her. But her name or personality never changed. She was always to be a kind person. But what really changed was her past, it wasn't until later I thought that her and Nero would be twins. This version of Lucille was also on a more direct path with Percival's Beta design. In that, they lived in the same town before journeying to the Reborn Region. Looking at their Pokémon their teams would actually contrast each other. Having actual counterparts to the other Pokémon. The grass-fire superiority of their starters was set in stone. I'll give more info about their Pokémon counter parts after I give Percival and Percival's beta. Two major Original details: one, Lucille was originally the one to be doing the Gym Challenge, Two she had a fear of Dark-types.

Beta Team: Flareon, Gyarados (So far, the only common denominator between the teams), Gallade, Escavalier, Sceptile, and one other… Okay I forget her last Pokémon… all I know is that it had the same base stat total of as Absol.

Beta Nero: He had the least change of his character, and team. Only was that Shiro was his twin, but other than that his story stayed majorly the same. He was Nero Umbrasyl the Black Demon through and through. The one with an Absol Mark. The only thing that was changed about his team was really the small retcon of having a Cacnea and Larvitar… Oh and I guess declaring Grim was Shiny. One final thing, this Nero wasn't part of the Lapis Ward Orphanage. He had a hard life, but the current Nero's story is actually worse.
