Student.
Pokémon trainer.
Secret Agent.
BACKSTORY
One of Galar's most guarded secrets is the existence of its intelligence and espionage agency: the Commonwealth Reconnaissance Organization for Warfare and Networking, aka CROWN. CROWN's core imperative is to secure the prosperity and welfare of the Galar region by any means necessary.One of those means was Project Tyrogue, an effort to train and deploy young spies who would naturally be beneath notice due to their age.The Project's greatest success was "Agent Five", who graduated from the training project at the age of 11 and went on to carry out several covert missions on behalf of Galar.His most recent assignment, however, has been unlike any mission he's ever done before: infiltrate Paldea by posing as a transfer student named 'Robert McCallum' at the Academy in order to acquire Professor ████'s research notes on the Terastalization phenomenon and Area Zero.
PERSONALITY
The world of espionage has been all that Five has ever known. Every name he's taken, every Pokémon he's partnered with, has all been part of carefully crafted cover stories given to him by his handlers at CROWN. Though he's affable and gentlemanly by default, there's a certain hollowness to it.However, his mission in Paldea has been the longest yet, and the long, slow process of trying to get an in with the Professor's research has led to Five starting to grow attached to his classmates and the Pokémon he's caught as part of his cover. Deep down, he fears what will happen when they realize it's a lie- and questions if it even is a lie anymore.
POKÉMON
Though Five has used many different species of Pokémon in the past, those were all provided to him by CROWN. As part of his cover story as a student at Paldea's Academy, Five had to catch his own Pokémon like any other student. Five's team is very pivot-focused, using moves like U-Turn and Parting Shot to get Pokémon out of danger. While this makes battling Five's team tricky, entry hazards will slow down his momentum significantly.
SPIDOPS
Male, Hasty Nature, Tera Type: Ghost
Ability: Insomnia
Moves: Circle Throw, Sticky Web, Silk Trap, Poison JabSpidops acts like a grumpy old man, curmudgeonly and standoffish. He occasionally shows some kindness, but will immediately double down on its sourpuss attitude if this is acknowledged.
MEOWSCARADA
Male, Jolly Nature, Tera Type: Grass
Ability: Protean
Moves: Knock Off, Taunt, U-Turn, Flower TrickFive's ace of the team, and all too smug about it. Meowscarada's strength is undermined by his arrogance and tendency to showboat. However, Meowscarada can put its ego aside in dire situations.
DACHSBUN
Male, Impish Nature, Tera Type: Steel
Ability: Well-Baked Body
Moves: Play Rough, Wish, Protect, Stomping TantrumThe emotional heart of Five's team, keeping spirits high even in the most hopeless situations. Dachsbun seems very intent on staying close to Five whenever possible, perhaps sensing his trainer's deep loneliness.
DRAGAPULT
Female, Timid Nature, Tera Type: Electric
Ability: Infiltrator
Moves: Shadow Ball, Draco Meteor, Thunderbolt, U-TurnIf there was ever a Pokémon that needed its own emotional support Pokémon, it's Five's Dragapult. Extremely anxious and pessimistic, Dragapult seems to have very little confidence in herself despite being one of the strongest members of Five's team. However, if the Dreepy it cares for are ever threatened, Dragapult will go into a nigh-unstoppable rampage.
REVAVROOM
Male, Quirky Nature, Tera Type: Flying
Ability: Filter
Moves: Shift Gear, Parting Shot, Spin Out, Gunk ShotThe wildman of the team, Revavroom is a die-hard adrenaline freak with very little impulse control. Five often has a hard time reigning in Revavroom's antics. However, Revavroom is both an incredible fighter and a handy utility Pokemon, allowing Five to ride around faster than most Cyclizar-mounted Trainers.
PALAFIN
Male, Adamant Nature, Tera Type: Water
Ability: Zero To Hero
Moves: Flip Turn, Jet Punch, Close Combat, Zen HeadbuttFew Pokémon are as brave, bold, and so full of bravado as Five's Palafin. When the mild-mannered base form is swapped out for its Hero Form, Palafin becomes a self-styled 'symbol of justice' with a seemingly unbreakable determination.
RULES
Writer is an adult, but muse is not so no NSFW talk or RP.There may occasionally be discussion of dark themes (child abuse/neglect, depression/mental illness), so be warned.Ableism, bigotry or racism will result in an immediate block. Being 'in character' does not excuse those things, either.Writers note: Please be patient, I have several other accounts and a part time job. Time on here will inevitably be erratic, but I'll try my best to keep on top of things.
