Hailing from the Kalos Region, the Benoit Family are one of the oldest living Noble Families in Kalos. Those in the family are born into the rank of Marquis/Marchioness. Currently headed by Patrice Benoit, younger of the previous generation of brothers, the current iteration of the family runs an arms tech company named Benoit Armaments, specializing in weapons, armor, and gadgets, with strong ties to the Pokemon League.

The Benoit Family finds itself assisting the Hoenn League in its time of need because of just how much the Region means to the former patriarch of the family, the father of Patrice and Daniel.



Daniel and Patrice were born to two separate mothers. Daniel's biological mother was a Hoennian woman named Natsumi, a woman that their father had fallen in love with, and planned to spend his life with. Due to complications in childbirth, she was forced to make the decision: her life, or the baby. She chose to give birth to the child, despite it costing her life. In her last moments with her lover, she told him how much she loved him, how much their time together meant to her, and to live a happy life, and to give a happy life to their only child.

Three years later, their father would meet his current wife. After two years, they would give birth to the second son, Patrice Benoit. Though both youngsters would often clash, due to their differences in personalities and methods, with Patrice being a far more intellectual man than Daniel's brash tough guy personality, the two brothers looked out for one another in their own way.

In his adolescence, Daniel would move to the Alola Region, taking up a hedonistic life as a surfer. It wasn't until Daniel met Samantha that he began to get his act together. Spurred by her initial rejection of him, Daniel eventually managed to impress her by getting his act together, culminating in him joining the Rangers. Meanwhile, Patrice would come home after his journey, in order to get the education and training he needed in order to succeed his father as the head of Benoit Armaments, as well as patriarch of the family.

Daniel and Samantha would have three children together. The first of the children would be twins, Andrea and Thomas Benoit. Later, the two would have their youngest daughter.



Thomas has two siblings, but cousins can be up to the player. At their oldest, the cousins would be 18-20 years old.

The youngest sister would be between the ages of 16 and 20 years-old. More than likely, her mother would've wanted her to follow in her footsteps as a Coordinator/Idol. If she were to have taken a different path, I'm up for negotiation, though more than likely, their mother would've attempted to mold her into a successor.

FAMILY




FC's:

Ideally, Jecht from Final Fantasy 10 would be perfect for Daniel Benoit, the father. Otherwise, the mother, Samantha, is pretty open, though brown hair and green eyes would be preferred. The youngest sister could have black or brown hair, and red or green eyes. The uncle could have blonde or black hair, but red eyes are preferred. The cousins and aunt are pretty open for negotiation.
