One of a Kind | Pokémon verse

So this verse was badly in need of a do over. Under the cut are the full profiles for Rook, Willow, Erica and Fae. Nothing major has changed, they simply provide some more complete information on the ladies and their respective teams.

Again, as Pokémon likes to, as they say, keep the foot in two shoes when it comes to the NPCs, none of them are entirely regular humans. The same goes for Lucien, the new experimental entry for the verse.

Rook

Name: Erika Fenice Innocenti

Nickname: Rook, Birdie

Age: 25

Birthday: December 22

Gender: Cis Female

Sexual Orientation: Asexual

Species: Human with powers

Ethnicity: White

Nationality: Kalosian

Height: 5’5

Weight: 155 lbs

Body Type: Endomorph

Hair: Long, straight brown, often kept in a ponytail

Eyes: Blue

Distinguishing features: She has two runes, or marks as she usually calls them, on her right arm. They’re in the shape of a Phoenix and a Wyvern facing each other with their lower bodies intertwined. When in the presence of danger or while she’s using her powers, the marks will change color and glow, the rest of the time they’re black and can easily pass for tattoos. Their origin is unknown, as they simply appeared on her arm one day. Rook does her best to hide them when she can and tries not to talk about them if not absolutely necessary.

She has a scar on her left jaw, several scars on her back, one on her left tight and one on her knee from various injuries and accidents.

She always wears sunglasses.

Personality: Rook is the first to admit that she isn’t the most outgoing person. Still, while two people in the same room as her already count as a crowd, she’s decent enough to get done with the task at hand before excusing herself.

It is no wonder then that she chose a job that keeps her as busy and far away from an office as possible. Rook is the creative type and, once again, fascinated by technology. It’s great that many want to compliment her skills but really, praise isn’t what she’s looking for.

She’s still willing to meet new people on her own terms, usually while on the field, entirely by chance and with the knowledge that this could be the last encounter for a while. The few exceptions to this rule are, of course, her friends who are often the reason behind how Rook’s schedule is organized.

Current Residence: She usually travels between Sinnoh, Galar and Hoenn, depending on where her services are required. She’s thinking of getting herself a proper place at least in one of the regions at some point, though she enjoys camping a little too much to give it up just yet.

Former Residence: Her parents’ house in the kalosian countryside. She hasn’t been there in a while and plans to keep it that way.

Mother: Deceased. Rook misses her dearly.

Father: Rick is a self-made man who is very proud of his family until Rook is mentioned. He had great plans for Rook when he forced her to get into his field and he openly dislikes her decision to go freelance. She’s actually quite good so he wishes he could get a cut of what she’s earning on her own now. There seems to be more about his feelings towards her, though he surprisingly isn’t as vocal about it.

Siblings: She has two older siblings, Ezio and Alessandra. Rook has a good relationship with them despite the distance. They supported her decisions when it was the time.

Other Family: Rook is the proud aunt of her siblings’ children. She often sends them gifts.

Hobbies and Interests: Despite her father’s best efforts to make her hate both, Rook has an equal interest in technology and mythology. The first one she made into her job with a successful career in the design of gadgets for trainers and Pokémon alike. The second remains more of a hobby that takes up most of her free time. Rook is an avid reader and the only one in the family who showed some interest in taking up her mother’s research. She knows she doesn’t know nearly as much, but flipping through those old notes and adding her own makes her feel like she hasn’t completely betrayed her mother’s legacy.

Occasionally, when she’s certain no one is watching, she might play around with those strange abilities she’s stuck with.

It has been a while but she’s a decent guitarist as well.

Occupation: “Freelance” engineer. She doesn't quite know either sometimes.

Powers and Abilities: Rook’s abilities function in the same way as her main verse. The marks on her arm channel her power and she can exercise some control over fire and ice, as well as telekinesis. Her body constitution and eyesight are slightly improved and she is resistant to fire damage, which is very convenient, given her team.

She more or less possesses the same potential as well. However, the lack of training and knowledge on the nature of her power make minor healing as well as using the flames form and cinder step abilities not viable. Not that it matters, her Pokémon always have her back.

Weapons/equipment: Camping gear and whatever equipment she might need for her job. She also carries a knife, usually strapped to her belt. Many would criticize her for such an accessory but she thinks that scar on her face doesn’t need a friend.

She wears a Pokétch and an armband with a Key Stone on her right arm. Whatever influence she had to get assigned with one was enough to obtain two additional stones for Willow and Erica.

Weaknesses: Due to the nature of her powers, iron can sometimes hurt her and damage to her marks can potentially kill her. Using her powers for too long drains her energy. If this happens, she will start feeling really cold, show signs of fatigue and look very distraught. Having no other way to recharge, rest is the only solution.

She can’t swim and due to an old incident she’s afraid of drowning and of the ocean in general. She usually manages to keep her phobia under control if the situation calls for it, but she will always stay clear of water if she can help it.

She doesn’t do well in bright light thus has to wear shades to be able to see properly and avoid a terrible headache.

Basic Backstory: As a kid, Rook wasn’t any more sociable than she is now. More often than not, she preferred tagging along with her mother on her trips to the nearest contest hall or some dusty ruins to find out something new about legendary Pokémon.

Rook didn’t care much for the contests but loved to listen to her mother talk about all those legends and couldn’t wait to go off to look for Pokémon on her own. Her father didn’t want her to go at first, but she was eventually allowed to start her journey around Kalos as a trainer.

It was great to finally be out of the house. Unfortunately, Rook’s journey was cut short by her mother’s death and the announcement that she had been signed up to study something more important than battle tactics without any input on her behalf. It seemed like Rick had been waiting just for that and for the longest time the hate towards him extended to her studies as well.

Nevertheless, Rook graduated and left for Sinnoh to get started on her career. She started making a name for herself by contributing to some major projects. She did so well that she began thinking that there was no need to split her success with her father. He only cared for the money anyway and he certainly wouldn’t care about those strange new abilities she was all of a sudden manifesting.

He got the message when she stopped coming back to Kalos and he wasn’t pleased in the least.

Since then, Rook has been travelling with her new friends, collecting medals and continuing her mother’s research, hoping to one day find what caused to become what she is now.

Current Pokémon Team:

Thea the Houndoom

Errol the Salamence

Hely the Blaziken

Pi the Milotic

Athena the Corviknight

Mochi the Snom

Other Pokémon:

Garu the Rowlet

Shadow the Absol

Shadow previously belonged to her mother, as the Absol seemed to fare well in contests and gym challenges alike. Rook was happy to have Shadow join her team from nearly the beginning and after her mother’s death, he brought the memories of all the adventures they had together a little closer.

Being a little older than the rest of the team, Shadow doesn’t get to join Rook as much these days and is under the care of Rook’s brother now.

Athena started off as a very young Rookidee that had stowed away in Fae’s luggage. While it started off as a joke, Rook ended up taking her friend seriously when she suggested she took care of the little thing until they could return to Galar. Later on, Willow commented that there was no doubt from the very moment she saw Athena that Rook wasn’t going to give her up and it’s surprising that no one saw that coming.

As for Pi, he was but a Feebas when Rook bumped into him. Like Athena, there wasn’t much of a fight from him. Rook found him genuinely cute, it was almost impossible to get along and, later, to evolve into a majestic Milotic.

Willow

Name: Willow

Nickname: Project 00, Mantis

Age: She appears to be in her twenties.

Birthday: December 22

Gender: Cis Female

Sexual Orientation: Asexual Aromantic

Species: Artificial Intelligence

Ethnicity: White

Nationality: Unknown

Height: 5’5

Weight: 155 lbs

Body Type: Endomorph

Hair: Pink, shaved on the left side

Eyes: Blue

Distinguishing features: Willow has spent a good part of her life inside a human body at this point but she still can’t entirely pass for one. She used to carry herself in a far stiffer way but now she seems to have found a good compromise between her size and her wish to look intimidating. She’s also been showing a little more emotion.

However, just like Rook, her body carries the marks of her past. Willow is often seen wearing gloves to hide her mechanical arms and, while she doesn’t mind showing some skin, she tends not to expose the signs of what had to be done to allow her to inhabit her body. It’s a bit personal, you know.

Yes, those really look like fangs. Stop asking about it.

Personality: While heavily influenced by the copy of Rook’s personality embedded in her programming, Willow has built up her own personality. She may seem cold at first, but with a bit of time it’s easy to notice that she’s actually very kind, caring and curious. Those who manage to get to know her better will also discover a bit of a trickster side, again a reminiscence of Rook’s personality, though still unique on its own.

Overall, Willow is rather proud of how she turned out, if she couldn’t be more vocal about it. However, she still isn’t entirely comfortable showing emotion and might retreat in herself for a while if she loses her composure. It’s silly, and she’s the first to admit it, but she can’t stand not being in control of herself.

Other than that, she still deep down wonders if this personality she has developed isn’t simply a bad copy of Rook’s personality generated by a glitch in her programming.

Unfortunately, this more complex side of her is inaccessible to most. Many won’t even learn her name or see her full face as she doesn’t care to stick around after a battle. Sometimes that gives the impression that she’s hiding from something but, of course, any questions are met with silence.

Current Residence: N/A

Former Residence: N/A

Parents: None, though she may or may not have met Rook’s mother in the past.

Siblings: None.

Other Family: None.

Hobbies and Interests: Willow doesn’t seem to have many interests outside of collecting medals and challenging the League. Her knowledge seems to be endless up to whenever fun and social cues are concerned. She only seems to make an effort when it’s her friends asking her to join.

The lack of a proper home forces her to travel lightly. Still, she likes to play a variety of instruments whenever she can get her hands on them. Music has interesting mathematical properties.

Occupation: Pokémon trainer

Powers and Abilities: Once again, Willow’s peculiar nature allows her an edge over machines and organic beings alike. No device is safe from her influence and her intelligence is hardly rivaled.

In addition, she can count on superior strength and heightened reflexes and is rather skilled with the katana she insists on carrying along.

She seems to have some sort of awareness of the fourth wall, though she prefers to occasionally poke at it rather than be mature about it.

If you’d like an opinion on your team, be prepared to be flooded with statistics.

Weapons/equipment: Her prosthetic arms have been modified to accumulate and discharge electricity to stun opponents.

She carries a pink-bladed katana for self-defense and as an accessory. You’ll find that it really does compliment her hair.

Having no place to call home forces her to only keep some basic items on herself for her and her Pokémon, most of which are stored in the duffle bag she carries on her back.

She wears a survival bracelet with a flint and a Key Stone embedded in it.

Weaknesses: She still hasn’t grasped some of the basics of humanity and can come out as cold and doesn’t quite have body language down yet.

Anything she deems irrelevant will be completely ignored. If she’s threatened, violence can and will be an option.

Basic Backstory: Very little is known about Willow’s past. The few bits and rumors that have been put together lead back to a secret project, led by an equally obscure organization, called Project 00 aimed at the creation of an artificial intelligence.

Although its purpose remains unknown, the group seemed to have great plans for their new toy. However, 00 had very little interest in their wish to push the boundaries of creation and couldn’t care less if they intended to profit off its efforts by promising trainers the new most efficient and cheapest ways to raise the perfect team. It found that power resided in knowledge and intelligence, not money, and soon the constant demands began boring 00 out of its mind.

As it often happened, they failed to provide her with the sufficient data to expand her knowledge on the actual world and topics she took interest in, so Willow decided to part ways with her creators and find the answers herself. She started her journey as a trainer in Kalos under the nickname of Mantis and crossed paths with Rook early on. Neither understands how they got along, but they’re friends now.

Current Pokémon team:

Gallade

Porygon

Jolteon

Lucario

Rotom

Hydreigon

Others:

Greninja

Spiritomb

All Pokémon are well cared for and content with their trainer. While Willow isn’t known for enjoying nicknames, she understands their needs well, though some would swear they have seen her entertain conversations with her Porygon and Rotom.

Erica

Name: Erica

Nickname: Tail, Spook, The Forest Spirit

Age: 25

Birthday: December 22

Gender: Cis Female

Sexual Orientation: Asexual

Species: Huldra

Nationality: Sinnohan

Height: 5’5

Weight: 150 lbs

Body Type: Endomorph

Hair: short, spiky, light brown

Eyes: Blue

Distinguishing features: The first thing you’ll notice are the pointed tips of her ears as they twitch and emote along with their owner. Still, Erica usually keeps them tucked inside her beanie, limiting the range they can move after picking up on a distant noise.

She also has a tail that resembles one of a cow and is usually kept tied around her waist and well hidden under her shirt.

Her body is a bit more slender compared to the others as part of her heritage, yet her strength, reflexes and agility can put many athletes to shame.

She usually travels with at least one of her Pokémon at her side.

Personality: Huldras are often described as creatures of the woods who prefer isolation and tend to be neutral towards humans.

Erica, on the other hand, is always up for making new friends and tries to see the good in everybody. Still, this is no excuse to be rude to her. By all means, if you have a death wish go ahead, but don’t expect her to be indulgent if you try to hurt her or talk her down just because she doesn’t like to use fancy words.

Erica always lives life to its fullest, cherishing the small things and spreading her enthusiasm despite basically lacking any memory of her past. She thinks it would be a waste to let that hold her back, but it still haunts her that one day everything she knows might disappear again.

Current Residence: Her home in Celestic Town

Former Residence: N/A

Mother: Deceased.

Father: Deceased.

Siblings: None.

Other Family: The townspeople who raised her are the closest thing to family.

Hobbies and Interests: While her activities as a trainer are technically on hold, Erica doesn’t shy away from any outside activities especially if her Pokémon can be included.

She’s a pretty decent drummer and has performed along with Fae before. It pays well, though she’s mostly doing it for fun rather than fame.

Occupation: You may see Erica as an adventurer for hire. Do you need a guide around Sinnoh? Are you looking for some rare plants, Pokémon, ancient ruins? She’s happy to go search for it for a little fee. As long as she deems it interesting, she will be up for it.

Powers and Abilities: Erica’s main power is her seemingly endless supply of energy. As a result of her huldra heritage, she can count on superior strength and speed, and heightened senses. She can also count on a set of sharp fangs and claws whenever the situation calls for it.

She seems to have a special sense when wild Pokémon are concerned. Her presence often doesn’t intimidate them and she seems almost able to talk to them. Strong of this special ability, Erica never had to fight to build her current team, they all just followed her by their own initiative.

She is beginning to develop shadow-bending abilities. However, since their use causes her to blackout, she isn’t entirely aware of them yet. Her friends believe this is the reason Ghost types seem to like her so much, or perhaps a consequence.

Weapons/equipment: The only kind of weapon you’ll ever see Erica use is her baseball bat. Her swing is lethal and can knock some sense in the most stubborn of grunts.

She carries around a backpack that contains whatever type of sports equipment she might need that day, her drum sticks, and fresh fruit to snack on when needed, as well as some basic first aid supplies.

She wears a bracelet with a Key Stone, courtesy of Rook. She doesn’t use it much, but at least it looks nice.

Weaknesses: She can lose interest in a conversation very quickly and sitting down can become a real chore unless she has some way to keep herself busy. That means that she’ll fidget a lot and even knock things off a table for the sake of at least doing something. Sometimes it might feel like she isn’t listening, but maybe she just doesn’t care.

Direct contact with iron and silver can hurt her.

Basic Backstory: Erica’s story begins on a night in Celestic Town. As they hurried about to make it home before the upcoming storm struck, one of the townspeople noticed a little bundle abandoned by the shrine and, figuring someone might have lost it, got closer to inspect it.

However, rather than a lost item, they found a baby asleep and completely uncaring of the weather. She was taken in and the following day, the town began searching for clues on the baby’s identity and her parents whereabouts but it soon became clear that no one was going to show up so they had to think of something.

Having been successfully adopted by the whole community, Erica got to grow as a happy and energetic kid with a big heart and not much of a care for the evil of the world.

A bit too energetic, actually. There weren’t many kids her age around and the adults couldn’t keep up with her. So, Erica got her first Pokémon at a very young age, a Shinx that somehow had even more energy than her and who followed her everywhere.

Many were impressed by how well the two were getting along, only to be further amazed when Erica began taking more wild Pokémon home with her, claiming they were already big friends and that they simply wanted to hang out for a bit.

They let it pass since most Pokémon were gone after a day or two, but began regretting it when rather than the occasional Wurple and Psyduck, she started luring in ghost and dark types.

Erica truly had a thing for subverting their expectations. They knew she would have achieved great things when it would be time for her to become a trainer.

They were mostly right. She was doing great out there as far as they knew, but were surprised to see her show up one day claiming that her team didn’t want to challenge the League and neither did she because it seemed boring. She even let some of them go since their place wasn’t at her side anymore.

No one ever figured what made her change her mind, but they welcomed home regardless.

After stumbling into Rook and later the others, Erica has started traveling all over again, venturing to other regions and exploring at her own pace. She has a full team now as proof of her trips and the progress she has made.

And who knows, maybe one day she’ll discover where she really comes from.

Current Pokémon Team:

Smokey the Luxray

Omen the Gengar

Spice the Pumpkaboo

Vivy the Delcatty

Puffin the Meowstick

Apples the Litten

Others:

Spot the Zigzagoon (Galar form)

Smokey has been following Erica around since it was just a Shinx. The townspeople allowed her to keep it since its nature made it for the perfect companion for Erica. Kept, since none of Erica’s Pokémon are actually caught. Each one decided to follow her around on its own.

She’s currently looking for a Meowth, though she’s still pondering which form she likes the most.

Fae

Name: Fae (Yup. That’s totally it. That’s totally this fairy’s name)

Nickname: The Rising Star, Master of Disguise

Age: Probably 125 or older. Please, stop asking her.

Birthday: December 22

Gender: Genderfluid. Pronouns are she/they, though Fae often doesn’t mind how she’s addressed.

Sexual Orientation: Pansexual

Species: Fairy

Nationality: Galarian but she claims to be from Kalos.

Height: 5’5

Weight: 150 lbs

Body Type: Endomorph

Hair: Long, shaved on the left side. The color is usually brown with a few strands dyed some crazy color. She seems to prefer red, but it can be any other depending on the day.

Eyes: Blue. It may occasionally change depending on the day.

Distinguishing features: Fae never seems to commit to the same look, or even the same physical features, for long. Her glamour allows her to change and experiment as much as she desires, which she takes full advantage of. As far as her true appearance goes, Rook, Willow and Erica are one of the very few who know what she really looks like.

However, sometimes when her glamour fades a little, the tips of her ears appear a bit pointed, though not as much as Erica’s.

Fae has her own pair of wings. They, of course, resemble those of a butterfly with a pattern reminiscent of the one of an Old World Swallowtail’s that glows in the moonlight. Fae rarely shows them, not exactly looking forward to having them plucked off.

Personality: Fae is the definition of extrovert. She strives for attention and requires people’s company to not get bored out of her mind. She’s a natural entertainer and prefers to use her gifts to put up a good show for whatever audience she may have rather than sitting around to watch people dance to their death.

Pulling pranks is however one of her favorite hobbies and she will not miss the occasion to mess around, usually by mercilessly flirting, as she enjoys observing the unfortunate victim’s reaction. Her team likes to participate in these shenanigans as much as in her shows.

Fae always acts like she owns the place. And perhaps she does. Fairies have been around well before humans after all. Sometimes it seems she has more respect for certain Pokémon than people and she doesn’t see why she should be blamed for it.

For Fae, rules are not made to be broken, they’re a suggestion at most. The only rules she will follow are her own, meaning you have to make a very good point to convince her to listen.

Current Residence: It depends on where the troupe is going to perform next. She however has a place to stay in every region. These are sometimes shared with her friends if necessary.

Former Residence: Fae has travelled all around the world and before that, she used to live at her Court within the Fae Realm. She still returns to the Court regularly.

Mother: Her mother is the Queen of the Court and a woman of firm values. She doesn’t often understand what is going through her daughter’s mind, but her heart is in the right place and that is enough. The needs of her people are her first priority, but she will always find time for her daughter.

Father: Deceased.

Siblings: N/A

Other Family: She treats every member of the Court like family.

Hobbies and Interests: Fae loves being in the spotlight and acting allows her to do just that. Her favorite activities are singing and dancing. It’s then no surprise that her favorite productions she took part in are all musicals.

In her free time, she enjoys going to clubs and dating, but she will not turn down spending the night with the other ladies inside, knowing and respecting that Rook and Willow value their personal space and would not enjoy themselves, while such a place would be just hell for Erica and her very sensible ears.

She will not let you go until you let her pet your Pokémon.

Occupation: Fae is a professional actress capable of taking on any role. While she’s the star, she does her best to help around on stage and behind the scenes.

Powers and Abilities: Shapeshifting, whether to hide her appearance or a quick change of outfit. This coupled with her glamour allows her to look more human like, though it sometimes fails her.

Additionally, she possesses some mental abilities such as mesmerism (eye contact or singing to her victim is required), a certain degree of telepathy and the ability to infiltrate a person’s dreams if she so fancies.

This sort of ability is impressive, but hardly makes you a fighter of Fae’s caliber. Well, she can also project and control light, either in waves or concentrated in powerful radiant beams, as well as in the shape of weapons.

Moreover, she can manipulate vegetation, grow plants and use them to attack in a variety of ways. If that isn’t enough, super strength and speed, as well as an insane healing factor allow Fae to get through most adversities.

Part of these powers can be in some way extracted through her blood, which in turn smells different. Because of this, Erica is able to tell Fae aside even when disguised.

Finally, Fae is an amazing singer, has almost no rivals in dancing, and her acting skills are top shelf. She’s a swift talker and knows her way around people even without using her powers.

However, while she’s aware of the power of names, she usually refrains from using it against some poor mortal, even if they crossed her. It’s just more satisfying when she can persuade the person into cooperating without tricks.

Like Erica, Fae displays a special understanding of Pokémon. Her team chose to follow her as well.

Weapons/equipment: She can craft weapons using her light powers. Her weapons of choice are either a spear, throwing knives, or a bow.

Unlike the others, Fae prefers to carry her Pokéball in a bag. It’s far more stylish than a belt.

Weaknesses: Iron and silver can hurt her, burning her skin and draining her powers. Sunglasses with reflective lenses can interfere with her mesmerism, as would covering your ears while she’s singing. Though that especially would hurt her feelings, so don’t do it.

Basic Backstory: Fae has been around for a while. Before becoming the star that she is now, she was a princess. She technically still is, but these days her presence in the Court isn’t strictly necessary, thus she was allowed to leave for a while and explore the outside world on her own.

Strong of her heritage, Fae quickly made a name for herself as a performer putting up shows that are almost magical and made unique by the amazing performance of her own Pokémon.

Every once in a while she steps down from the stage and takes part in a contest, usually under an alias to avoid her fame clouding the judge’s votes. The other participants deserve as much of a chance to win, after all.

The top of the stage can be lonely but she has found three good friends in Rook, Willow and Erica. While she connects the best with the latter and is trying to help her find out more about her past, Fae does her best to make sure they all gather up whenever they’re all in the same area.

Current Pokémon Team:

Maya the Zorua

Tenko the Ninetales

Lydia the Altaria

Echo the Sylveon

Elizabeth the Wooloo

Epona the Ponyta (Galar form)

Lucien

Name: Lucien Royce

Nickname: N/A

Age: 25

Birthday: June 21

Gender: Cis Male

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Species: Human, probably

Ethnicity: White

Nationality: N/A

Height: 6’1

Weight: 148 lbs

Body Type: Lucien appears to be naturally very scrawny. He tends to hunch over and gets tired very easily when physical activity is concerned but he’s getting better at it and he’s starting to build up some muscle now that he cares a little more about his own health.

Hair: Brown long hair, kinda messy. He’s doing his best to manage his looks. This is his first time around civilization in a decade, new trends are still a little obscure to him.

Eyes: Grey

Distinguishing features: A burn scar behind his left ear. He tends to fidget a lot and play around with a coin while he's deep in thought when he’s nervous. His footsteps don’t seem to make a sound for some reason.

Personality: Lucien is a very forgettable individual. He doesn’t speak much, avoids conversation unless it’s strictly necessary, or he sees some use of it. He has a Pokémon team to take care of, he has no time for small talk.

Of course, that’s an excuse. Despite having kind of a gift for getting people to do things his way, he’s rather awkward and it isn’t rare for him to say the wrong thing at the worst time.

Still, he’s trying to improve himself, as he feels that he would have an easier time if he managed to actually make himself some friends for once.

While he doesn’t get along with Rook and basically sees her as a rival in all regards, Lucien is far more chill in this iteration and his hostility is instead caused by jealousy towards her ability as a trainer.

He’s aware that Rook and the others possess some unusual abilities, though he has kept it to himself so far.

Current Residence: None at the moment but he plans to find a place and set up a shop somewhere one of these days.

Former Residence: His father’s mansion. Its location is unknown.

Mother: Deceased. Lucien wishes he knew more about her.

Father: Deceased. They weren’t close when he was still alive but Lucien supposes he can be thankful for the inheritance.

Siblings: None.

Other Family: None.

Hobbies and Interests: He enjoys baking, though his abilities don’t always match his expectations.

Skateboarding seems to be another reason for him to go outside, though he wished he had someone to share that interest with and more areas dedicated to it outside of Kalos.

He knows a great deal about plants and it isn’t rare to find him contemplating any and mumbling to himself about it. His Pokémon don’t mind this at all, since his knowledge translates to better food for everyone.

Occupation: Pokémon trainer.

Powers and Abilities: Lucien possesses the unique ability to use a person’s name against them. This allows him to control their movements, peer through their memories and torment them with very vivid illusions.

The longer he’s able to maintain his hold on the person, the more influence he has. Telepathic communication between him and his current victim becomes possible, as does his ability to regenerate any wounds.

Being hardly considerate of the risks that his abilities imply, Lucien used to be very aggressive once he found his way into someone’s mind. The experience can be painful for the victim and an echo of his thoughts can linger into their mind after he has left, so he tries to avoid using it, or to at least be very careful with his words. Unfortunately, some of his commands can be very literal.

In some cases, he seems to be feeding off his target. While he doesn’t need it in order to survive, it does have some advantages, such as heightened strength and speed and he’s able teleport within short distances as long as there are no obstacles in his path.

He's aware to an extent of the presence of his targets within a certain range. This allows him in some cases to track down people whose names he knows.

He can use a sort of glamour to disguise himself, though some are able to see through his disguise.

Weapons/equipment: He doesn’t carry any weapons, preferring to avoid conflict unless he can use his abilities to his advantage. Besides, the one time he tried a different approach, his knife was stolen.

He basically carries everything he owns on his back at all times. Money however isn’t an issue, he simply prefers to be practical and focus his attention on his team.

Weaknesses: Due to the nature of his powers, Lucien is vulnerable to silver and iron like a regular fairy. However, being still human himself, direct contact with either material doesn’t inflict him pain, it only makes him extremely dizzy.

If the link with his target hasn’t been active for too long, it is possible to block his powers simply by blocking out his voice. If a telepathic link is already established, this will not work.

He can choose to introduce himself with his true name to make another person immune to his power.

Basic Backstory: Lucien is that kid in the neighborhood who for some reason decides they have beef with you for no reason.

This is how Rook feels about Lucien. Whenever they meet, he insists she takes up his challenge, as he at least has the decency not to hurt anyone unlike the one responsible for his obsession.

Indeed, Lucien’s father was never shy about his little feud he had with Rook’s mother and often made this his son’s problem as well. This caused both Lucien and Rook to inherit to some degree the old rivalry after the departure of their respective parents. However, this was all Lucien’s doing who, trapped for years in the family mansion with no chance to make friends or do anything unless approved by his father, was very determined to deal with the ones the man was so obsessed with.

Still, it hasn’t taken long for him to realize that holding a grudge wasn’t going to make up for the lack of parental affection, so these days Lucien simply makes it a point to just try becoming a better trainer than Rook. So far, it’s hard to say if he’s any closer to achieving his goal, but at least he has learned to watch his words after a brief, though very informative, exchange with Willow.

Dawn the Espeon

Others:

Combee

Furfrou

Furfrou previously belonged to Lucien’s father and that is perhaps an overstatement. Like many others in Kalos, the man liked to brag about the Pokémon but Lucien can’t think of a time where he saw him take care of it, or even really look at it. Furfrou is currently staying with the people who previously took care of the family mansion. He trusts they’ll do a better job than his father ever did.
