Character: Luka Chene

Day 1- Intro
Luka Chene is a young woman who came to Hoenn from Kalos! She's sweet and bubbly, if a bit air-headed, and is always doing her best to spread joy and love to those around her. A hopeless romantic with a bittersweet past, she can be found with her head in the clouds more often than not, and her heart is full of daydreams.

Currently she is a PR representative for MATIAS SILPH and has recently started doing recruitment and advertising work for the Rangers. Despite everything she's been through during her stay in Hoenn, she hopes that in her own small way she can help to make the region a better and more peaceful place to live.

Day 2: Starter
Luka's first pokemon was a Munna! Due to her father's work in Interpol, their family moved around quite often when Luka was young. Plum was a gift from Luka's father when their family lived in Unova for a spell.

Although she was a polite and well-mannered child who never complained about her life being uprooted so often, Luka was often very lonely as a girl. Her friendships were often short lived because of how often her family moved, and she learned very quickly how to be charming and sweet to make people like her— though on a very surface level. She was never very close with anyone but her immediate family.

As such, she was a lonely little girl who developed sleeping troubles. Plum, therefore, was a gift to help her sleep and provide some companionship. The Munna, now Musharna, was one of Luka's dearest friends growing up, and she still treasures her as a precious family member to this day.

OC-TOBER

Character: Cillian Quinn

Day 1- Intro
A Kanto-era Rocket currently serving as Underboss to Declan Walsh, Gavin Merlino (real name Cillian Quinn) has a reputation as an icy enforcer among the ranks. He's responsible for discipline and punishment, and most importantly the execution of traitors to the organization. Since the takeover of Sootopolis, he also helps to manage the city's affairs.

His is a constant struggle not to fall further into darkness, with moral anchors in the form of friends and family helping to pull him back from the abyss of Kanto's tyranny. But make no mistake: Gavin is a villain, with no hope of redemption.

Day 2: Starter
Gavin was raised to see Pokémon as tools, not pets or companions. Growing up, he was always adjacent to Pokémon through the Quinn Rookery and his mother's prized Rapidash, but not until college did he obtain a Pokémon of his own.

Riolu.

He adapted to Gavin's aura as they faced the horrors of Kanto together, evolving into a Lucario through the intensity of their bond. As Gavin's trust in others was gained and shattered, the Lucario grew to resent any who would try to grow close with his master. Fiercely protective and undeniably loyal, he gave his life in the Blackout of Slateport to defend Gavin and Lugia against Necrozma.

He would not be given a name until after his death. Upon realising his immense grief over the loss of the Pokémon that had helped him through Kanto, Gavin christened him Faolan, meaning little wolf.

Day 3: Childhood
Cillian was born in Circhester, Galar, and grew up in the sprawling estate known as Quinn Court. His mother kin to royalty, his father a shrewd businessman, he was raised beneath impossible expectations that he nevertheless strove to meet. A brilliant mind and fierce dedication to his studies led to an accelerated education, but a reputation for arrogance and aggression left him friendless and feared.

He was an only child for many years, until his sister Saoirse (Lulu Flint) was born.

He does not remember childhood fondly due to his father's abuse and his mothers indifference.

Day 4: Best Friend

Though he would not use such a term as best friend, there are few to whom he's grown particularly close.

marcel maeda His best friend in Kanto, though they've lost touch.
Chu-e Choi Necrozma's influence has torn a rift between them.
Martín del Mar He has openly named Mars brother, and trusted him with secrets.
Elisabeth Fiorelli A kindred spirit who seems to understand his darkness.

Day 5: Talent

He's ambidextrous, by necessity rather than birth.

After a botched operation in Kanto, Gavin was punished by having a knife driven through his left hand. It cut clean through and was not tended to in haste, so the wound healed poorly. Many surgeries and years of physical therapy have since restored much of the movement to his hand, but he was forced to use his right hand primarily in the years of recovery.

He still favours the left, unless the task requires particularly delicate finesse.

Day 6: Favorite Pokemon

He has two: Corviknight and Lucario.

Quinn Court boasted a large rookery, for part of his father's business was to supply the Galarian taxi service with suitable birds. Cillian admired the steel-feathered creatures for their size and power, as well as the spectacle of seeing them Dynamax in stadium matches. Under his League alias of Patrick Cavalli, his signature Pokemon was a silver Corviknight. It was killed during the Darkest Day. He has a small collection of living corvids, his most infamous being his Shadow Corviknight.

Lucario was a learned fondness; his first Pokémon was a Riolu, and his incredible bond with the Pokemon grew into an appreciation for the species as a whole. He's had three Lucario over the course of his life, all dead.

Day 7: Free Space!

Scars mark his body, a macabre map of his life's more harrowing experiences. The most prominent of these scars are the ones bisecting his left palm, but other visible marks include a gash above his right eyebrow and a collection of scars on his left arm covered by faded tattoos. The tattoo designs are geometric in nature and clearly haven't been touched up since they were initially inked. There is a small nick in the index finger of his left hand. Other scars are most often hidden by his clothing, though he finds no shame in them.

Day 8: Pokemon Center

When they're mentioned, only one comes to mind: the Pokémon Center in Pallet Town. He'd last seen it as a crumbling ruin, a visible sign of his failure. Has it been rebuilt, since Eva Morales brought it down to stop Rocket from taking it?

He avoids them otherwise, where he can.

Day 9: First Victory

His first victory in a literal sense is so insignificant that it barely deserves mentioning; he was taught Pokémon battling alongside other curriculum, and wins and losses are a blur of discarded memories.

The first victory he truly savours is one of life and death — the evolution of his Riolu into a Lucario coming at the perfect time. He remembers the blood roaring in his ears and the intensity of his surging emotions, how they must've created the perfect storm within his canine partner. He'd embraced the jackal fiercely in the aftermath, the first open sign of affection he'd ever shown him.

Day 10: Gym

As a child, he adored the theatrics of Galar's gym circuit.

They've never particularly interested him in Hoenn; he pursued badges only to gain notoriety within Rocket with the intent of taking on the mantle of Beast. He rose to the rank of underboss, instead, but continued to collect the glittering tokens to help identify potential weaknesses in the League's gym leaders.

Now, with his identity as gym challenger Patrick Cavalli thoroughly compromised, he doesn't bother.

Day 11: Region

Galar is the place of his birth.
Kanto is the source for much of his trauma.
Hoenn is, for all its flaws, his home.

Day 12: Hometown

Circhester, Galar.

He misses the steam rising off the Hero's bath, clouding in the air. He misses the roar of the Stadium. He misses how it always snows, and the city is covered in a dusting of crystalline white. He misses the mountains most of all.

Though he cares little what happens to his family, he hopes Galar itself will survive Necrozma. One day, he'd like to see it again.

Day 13: Family

THOMAS QUINN - FATHER
Businessman in Galar who operates the Quinn Rookery, supplying Galar with many of the Corviknight used for the taxi service.

SIENNA QUINN - MOTHER
Galarian socialite of noble birth, kin to royalty. She breeds Galarian Rapidash and participates in dressage.

Lulu Flint - SISTER
His younger sister whom he grew up with. Reunited in recent years when Lulu joined Rocket.

Rowan Wrynn - HALF-BROTHER
Half-siblings through their father. They didn't grow up together but have since formed a bond nevertheless.

Day 14: Job

Rocket underboss. He specializes in discipline and the execution of defectors. After Rocket seized Sootopolis, he also helps maintain their hold over the city.

Day 15: Free Space!

TBA

Day 16: Favorite Food

Though not a particularly picky eater, he favours Galarian cuisine as it's what he was raised on. In particular, he loves (the Pokémon equivalent of) Beef & Guinness Stew.

Day 17: Fear

Death. He will do almost anything to survive.
Drowning. He's never liked the ocean.
Psychic-types. He was psychologically tortured and conditioned by Calem Pollet in Kanto, and Psychic Pokémon unsettle him as a result.

OC-TOBER

Character: Kyle Lopez

Day 1- Intro
indifferent, pragmatic and overall modest, kyle lopez is a character that shouldn't attract too much attention. to work as part of the police force to fit the image of a dog trainer is his folly, as it is what brought him too close to the threat, and subsequently, attention for simply doing his job.

he gains infamy from the eyes of the higher echelons of the league as the old reliable during high-stakes disasters, eventually earning him the champion seat, much to his chagrin. however, as the world comes closer to the fantasy setting he adores so much in his gaming hobby, so does his enthusiasm with the job.


Day 2: Starter
unbeknownst to most people, kyle started out with a treecko. presented as a gift from his parents who wanted to teach him independence by being a trainer, kyle assumes that he is only given one to keep him company while they're away most of the time.

it currently resides at dragon's den at blackthorn, johto, after having opted to be left there to defend it during rocket's invasion while kyle departs to a safer hoenn. his trainer has since then returned for it, only to find it with a lady lizard at that time.


Day 3: Childhood
his childhood is as normal as it can get. he attended school without complications, made friends and sometimes got in trouble. surprisingly, he edges close to the top of the school hierarchy for his popularity, mostly earned for being carefree and being the go-to person for favors.

despite not actively yearning for them, he's built relationships throughout his school life, dipping his toes on every slice of life. he ends with a burnout, effectively bringing him closer to a life of video gaming and away from college applications whose exams he already passed.


Day 4: Best Friend
setting off to travel after high school, kyle goes to johto, beating the first gym he visits right away. its gym leader takes notice of him, inviting him to be one of their gym trainers. he is then adopted by the clan of dragon tamers to their household, and the rest is history.

ex-elite four of hoenn and blackthorn gym leader of johto, mateo martinez earns the title for kyle's best friend. he's the yin to his yang, the ride-or-die, the brother from another mother. when asked what he likes about him, kyle would probably answer with qualities relating to mateo's quirkiness or spontaneity.


Day 5: Talent
a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. kyle in himself doesn't particularly excel in any skill, although he picks up on things faster than average. what makes him stand out is the application of other skills on an entirely different field.

he can take pictures with close to perfect composition given little to no time to fuss about it though, if that was to be counted for a talent. relatively useless, but still one. pictures are displayed on the walls of his home, though they are merely a relic of a hobby he used to have.


Day 6: Favorite Pokemon
to no one's surprise, it's mightyena. the fact that it has no redeeming quality, generic to a fault and has no other gimmick or niche to differentiate it with other pokemon was enough to tug kyle's heartstrings.

he has long given up on making them stand out among the rest of the pokemon that compares similarly to it and realizes that their true power comes with how cute they are. his pokemon are the sole exception to his lack of superficiality, and it has since them spread to other canine pokemon.


Day 7: Free Space!
kyle is a light drinker. it doesn't take much for him to get inebriated from alcohol. while he can take a few before completely blacking out, it only takes a few shots for him to start slurring his words.

categorizing him as a drinker would put him under the aggressive ones. he talks brash and acts without restriction under the influence of alcohol. he can easily start riots and fights drunk, as opposed to his usual pacifist disposition without alcohol in his system.


Day 8: Pokemon Center
used and abused. kyle makes sure his taxes are put into good use by frequenting the services of the pokemon center whenever he comes across one. it's free service and there's only so much natural healing can do against the frequent battles one experiences in the war-torn region.

he has a miniature set-up at home though. while not as advanced as the ones on pokemon centers, it's enough to perform first aid and various tasks, such as accessing the pc system and the like. kyle is working on putting up a seal printer alongside it for special effects on his pokeballs.


Day 9: First Victory
the only instances he got into pokemon battles when he was young was against other friends in his age group. they had made up tournaments and organized fight clubs as children, and kyle was always dragged along since he had a pokemon of his own.

there were wins and losses, but it all gets muddled up and forgotten in the long string of forgettable fights. the first significant win, however, was against the blackthorn gym. it would be his first and only badge for the longest time, until he resumed challenging gyms on his return to hoenn.


Day 10: Gym
as an elite four, his main thing were electric-types. they were straightforward and simple, with very easy to remember type matchups, contrasting his usual choice of pokemon. despite not having an actual expertise in them, he finds them practical.

it carries over to his minor league gym, which was set up only to experience being a gym leader. though he claims he's always busy with work and can't find time to fit other extra curriculars, it was most certainly set up as a result of being bored.


Day 11: Region
hoenn was his home for as long as he can remember. he hates it and the people living in it, but the sentimentality of his connection with it condemns him to stay and fight for it.

johto's the only other region he's been at. though his stay was brief, the same nostalgic feel of home still hits hard whenever he visits.


Day 12: Hometown
for someone who wanted to stay home all the time and was more of a city boy than a country one, verdanturf initially earns his ire. as he grew up from being a literal child, he recognizes the best of what a small town brings to an introvert like him: good ol' peace and quiet.

there's also the fact that there are so few names to memorize compared to the city, as well as rules being more lenient and carefree. over the times, he's grown to appreciate the windswept highlands of hoenn for what it's worth.


Day 13: Family
kyle's birth parents were out of the picture for as long as he can remember. he's not sure of the circumstances that brought him to the system, nor does he care that much. the only thing that matters was that he got out of there.

he's adopted by mr. and mrs. lopez, both of whom are people that kyle barely talks to nowadays. it wasn't like they had a bad relationship or anything, but more like both parties often opt to stay on their own lanes. while he doesn't know much about them, like where they get their money or where they're currently travelling to, he doesn't feel the need to pry into it deeper.

they already got him a good home and a stable future. kyle can't ask for more.

Day 14: Job
he's one of those run-of-the-mill cops of slateport city before his rise to ranks. the image of a law enforcement officer was always linked to dog pokemon, which led kyle to this path. he enters the career not for the virtue of it, but superficial reasons, and ultimately was just a means to pay for his hobbies as time went on.

he eventually reaches the title of hoenn's champion. office work gets precedence over field work for kyle's priorities under the new role, though he doesn't have much say at the end of the day. to circumvent this, he gains permission to moonlight as an officer of hoenn's police department, which he uses as an excuse to fill his schedule.

Day 15: Free Space!


Day 16: Favorite Food
he isn't picky with food, but if it's a street food, chances are that they're on the top of his list. it's one of the biggest pull of festivals for him, even if large crowds deter an indoor person like him from mixing in. it gets bonus points if it's of johto origin.

OC-TOBER

Character: Remiel Calcifet

Day 1- Intro
Remiel Calcifet is the nonchalant and clever heir apparent-- or, in other words, crown prince-- of Galar.

Born and raised in Hammerlocke, in all the luxury befitting of the royal family, Remiel had always refused to accept his responsibilities as heir. Determined to prove that his fate was his alone to determine, he promptly left Galar after completing university. A work visa for the Devon Corporation as an archaeologist was what ultimately brought him to the region known as Hoenn.

In the present-day, Remiel works as the Galarian Ambassador by day and a Team Rocket Admin by night. Though the foundations of his livelihood, in both worlds, have been shaken by some recent developments: namely, the calamity tearing Galar apart and Team Rocket's plans for the future. It is once again that the royal must weigh two worlds and determine which he wishes to cultivate further... or cut off.

OC-TOBER

Character: Hideo Kino

Day 1- Intro
Hideo is a young boy born and raised in Hoenn. He's a nice kid who idolizes the gym circuit as a massive accomplishment for anyone that completes it, and desires to be a professional trainer that wanders regions and has fun adventures, just like in all the stories.

He's also completely blind, and his parents are not keen on letting a child wander around Hoenn with so much chaos going on, between random Pokemon attacks, alien invasions, and Rocket spreading through the region. But he didn't let that stop him, eventually running away from home to go on his adventure. He did make very good progress, managing to get 7 badges - but now the dangers of Hoenn are finding him, and he isn't getting through them unscathed.

Time will tell if he can move past his losses and continue forward.

Day 2: Starter
A Rockruff, given to him on his sixth birthday, who he creatively named Rocky. It took some time, but the two managed to form a close bond, and Rocky soon evolved into a Lycanroc Dusk.

Rocky himself is very protective of Hideo, and is well-trained in how to guide him around and keep him aware of any dangers. However, he can get very aggressive in a battle, and has a temper that has lead to him getting violent more than once. Once set off, there isn't much Hideo can do other than just recall him in to his ball.

His violence is only directed at enemies, at least - and he would never harm Hideo.

Day 3: Childhood
Still a work in progress.

Hideo's had a fairly sheltered life - his parents weren't very keen on their blind son getting involved with dangerous activities like Pokemon battling or adventuring. They managed to do a good job keeping him out of danger, even as numerous disasters and invasions occurred in Hoenn. However, their plans were doomed the moment he got his Rockruff, and Hideo always loved the stories about people traveling the world and having adventures with their Pokemon.

And he didn't want to waste away at home doing nothing.

His parents tried to appease him by enrolling him in a mentorship program, so he could have small adventures under the supervision of more experienced trainers. However, the program drew from anyone willing to sign up, so the quality varied wildly - and Hideo soon learned how to get away from them to have his own fun.

But one day, he made a mentor out of one person in particular...

Day 4: Best Friend
John Sullivan is easily the person Hideo's the closest with. Doug was the one that gave him the most "real" experience as a trainer, and saw his talent as something to nurture rather than something to ignore or suppress. It's easy to say without Doug's influence, Hideo might still be stuck at home, wasting away as he waits for his chance to finally go out.

Andy Blackadder would be the one person he's opened up to the most, but Andy hasn't been seen for a while, unfortunately.

A close third is Eris Halla, the two spending more and more time together as their fates are intertwined courtesy of the Lake Trio. Time will tell how much the two open up to each other.

Day 5: Talent
Projectile accuracy, if you'd believe it. He had plenty of practice with Pokeballs, but even his aim with firearms is exceptional, even compared to people that can see. So long as he knows where he's aiming, he's got a very good shot at hitting what he's aiming for. It's been a great boon for capturing Pokemon.

Whether it's truly his own skill, the guidance of his Telepathic Pokemon, or them outright helping the projectiles hit is another question altogether.

Day 6: Favorite Pokemon
If you were to ask him, he would dodge the question, but there's no denying that he's spent the most time with his Beheeyem. Its slower pace matches his own, and their Telepathic abilities have proven invaluable in helping him understand the world around him. And if need be, their Psychic abilities can prove useful in moving things around - objects or otherwise.

Their ability to manipulate memories can also help with coping with the horrors of Hoenn. But surely his Beheeyem wouldn't do that without his consent.

Day 7: Free Space!
Hideo trains his Pokemon to be more independent than most; there's only so much he can be aware of, and in the heat of battle, his Pokemon are the ones fighting, not him. While he does order them around like every other trainer, they may act on their own, sometimes without telling him. This has certainly led to more good than harm, but not every instance has had the results that Hideo's wanted, and some of his Pokemon are less obedient than others.

None would ever harm him, of course. They know better than to bite the hand that pets them, in part because it would draw the ire of his other, more obedient Pokemon.

Day 8: Pokemon Center
A place to heal your Pokemon and get something to eat, Hideo’s always seen these as a staple of Pokemon Trainer culture. He’s fortunate enough to not have to use one for his own health. Yet. Though the medical Pokemon in them do seem to give him more attention than most. Can’t imagine why.

Day 9: First Victory
Were you to ask Hideo about his first, greatest victory, he’d tell you it was completing John Sullivan’s gym challenge. It was the first gym challenge he’d been able to do, a “sneaking mission” that he was able to complete with minimal difficulty. A combination of his own skills and the training of his Pokemon won him that day, and it’ll always stand as glowing proof that he truly could do the gym circuit.

That confidence boost was a big push towards him finally going on the gym circuit - without his parents’ permission.

Day 10: Gym
Not gonna give any spoilers away for this one, but let’s just say there have been some hints about what his gym would be like.

Day 11: Region
Hoenn, as mentioned above. The warm, tropical weather has given Hideo a massive heat tolerance. Like, wearing-a-sweater-in-the-middle-of-summer heat tolerance.

Day 12: Hometown
Slateport. Born and raised there for his entire life, he knew the area around his house like the back of his hand. There’s a lot to do in Slateport, but he hadn’t been able to do most of it until he left home - and now he barely goes there because his family is there.

OC-TOBER

Character: Elinor Anderson

Day 1- Intro
Elinor Anderson is a young ambitious, and currently disowned heir to one of the many branches of the Anderson Dynasty. She is the older sibling to AUTUMN ANDERSON, and cousin to Laurence Anderson among the more notable members.

Elinor was born and raised in Hoenn burdened by the chains of controlling parents, bereft of the opportunity to form bonds with Pokémon due to her parent’s need for continued control. Molded to become the perfect heir and puppet to continue their legacy, or so they thought. As they grew complacent in their control over her. She began to develop a personality. Slowly she freed herself from their chains and toured the world as a trainer.

But she was ill-prepared for a reality outside gloomy business meetings and banquets with the top brass. She somehow found her way into the Ranger’s Ranks, and through it she found herself a victim of one of the many Hoenn disasters. A grim wakeup call which leads to her present.

In present-day. Elinor has used the skills imparted upon her by her parents to weasel her way into the Hoenn League Council. With the best of intentions in mind, she strives to create a better safer future for the generations to come. Now the only question left to be answered is “Will she succeed or will she, like many others, build a road to damnation upon the foundation of good intentions.”

Day 2: Starter

The first Pokémon that Elinor owned was Whismur named “Mur” whom she bought from a reputable breeder using her childhood allowance. Unfortunately, she had not been granted permission from her parents at the time, and so when they found out they got rid of it. This of course broke Little Elinor’s heart. But she survived.

The first Pokémon she would acquire as she set out on her Pokémon Journey was an Aron whom she bought knowing no other way to acquire Pokémon than to use the methods she was so accustomed to. At the time then Aron was eager if a bit aggressive in disposition, which it later mellowed out off, as he was forced into a Leadership Role due to the unfortunate death of Several of his fellow early acquisitions.

OC-TOBER

Character: Elisabeth Fiorelli

Day 1- Intro
Born a minor noblewoman in Kalos, Elisabeth Fiorelli moved to Hoenn after suffering through a decade of an abusive marriage to a powerful Kalosian CEO, Édouard Bortiforte, who she quietly poisoned into an early grave. Having learned not to trust that the world will treat you kindly, she willingly joined the Rocket organisation as a way of ensuring nothing could ever hurt her in that way again.

Most of Hoenn knows her as a civilian florist that works from her cottage on the outskirts of Petalburg Woods. She and her Pokémon work the gardens of Fiorelli Floristry by day, while she secretly works as a Rocket admin by night.

Day 2: Starter
Elisabeth's first Pokémon was a Wurmple named Daisy, who eventually evolved into a Beautifly.

She was supposed to get a more fitting Pokémon for a daughter of a noble house, but she rescued the Wurmple from the gardens because the servants were shooing them away for eating the leaves of the Galarian roses. She privately kept Daisy to herself, along with many other Wurmples, who then evolved one day into a bunch of butterflies in her closet to the shock and dismay of the maid tasked to clean the young girl's room. Daisy stayed behind to be with Elisabeth.

Elisabeth brought almost none of her Pokémon with her when she married into the Bortifortes, releasing most of them to live in the gardens that she had grown up in; she genuinely believed they'd be happier in Camphrier Town. She took Daisy with her, however.

One day, Elisabeth found her Beautifly taxidermied on the wall as punishment for behaving in a way that put the reputation of her in-laws to shame. She wouldn't get the privilege of having another Pokémon again until she received a Budew, who would eventually become her cherished Roselia, Primrose.

Day 3: Childhood
Born the only child of loving, doting parents, Elisabeth had a golden childhood in Camphrier Town and wanted for nothing. She was a well-mannered, shy, and sheltered child, prone to losing herself in books as much as spending all her days outdoors gardening, climbing trees, or chasing Bug-type Pokémon in her father's vineyards.

In the countryside, however, she was fairly isolated and it was difficult to make friends. Most children her own age were family of staff, and that always affected the way they interacted with her. She was homeschooled by a governess, despite her mother's personal wishes for her to learn at a boarding school with other girls from upper class families.

The result was a naïve and idealistic young woman who believed in the good in people, and expected the world to be kinder than it was.

Day 4: Best Friend
Friends are a luxury that Elisabeth has rarely enjoyed in her life, for various reasons. In her youth, it was the unfortunate isolation of the countryside. In her adult life and marriage, it was a seclusion engineered by a jealous and controlling spouse.

In Hoenn, that has changed. Two people at present share the title of her 'best friend,' for different reasons.

Georgette Bluebottle was Elisabeth's first friend in Hoenn. A Gym Leader that knows the secret vulnerability that lies underneath Elisabeth's composed persona, Gigi is a woman who has patiently tended to her friend's times of distress, and listened to what little the florist is willing to share about the life in Kalos that she left behind. She knows what scars plague Elisabeth better than most, even if she can only guess at some of their reasons. In Gigi, Elisabeth feels absolved for some of the evils that she has embraced in herself, even if her friend is unaware of how far the darkness in her goes.

Cillian Quinn is perhaps the person who knows the most of the darkest parts of Elisabeth. The underboss was the first person that Elisabeth willingly confessed to about poisoning her late husband, having bonded with the man over committing murder together for Rocket. She believes that Gavin, more than anyone in the world, understands the parts of herself that she is most ashamed of and that feel most unfamiliar to most of the world. He understands why she chose a life of shadows, and she's forever grateful to him for that understanding.

Day 5: Talent
Gardening was Elisabeth's first love. She delighted in spending days in the outdoors, tending to her mother's Galarian rose garden. She and her mother would use the language of flowers to communicate sly, secret messages with one another. It spurred an interest in botany and plant physiology, one that her parents encouraged her to study at the collegiate level.

That dream was abruptly deferred and discarded after her marriage at nineteen, but her love of plants flourished nonetheless. The gardens of her husband's manor became her sole sanctuary, where she could lose herself for hours at a time in a task that made sense to her. It felt like being close to her family again, in some small way.

Her husband had always said she would have no trade to commend herself if she ever broke free of him. Spitefully, she poured that passion into her little flower shop in Petalburg. Despite it being a civilian front, she was determined to take it seriously and prove herself and her own competence. She needed to know she could exist on her own talents and merits.

Day 6: Favorite Pokemon
Her favorite Pokemon is her Roselia, Primrose. She received her as a fussy crying Budew, back when she was unhappily married. It was an unexpected gift from a husband who rarely gave her a shred of independence, and Elisabeth treasured Prim as the one companion in her home that relied on her and trusted her completely.

Primrose is a very vain and very prissy creature. She gets wildly jealous if Elisabeth's attention is focused on others, whether they be people or Pokémon. When she's upset, petals whizz overhead like an angry storm cloud, forming a tiny PETAL BLIZZARD. She sulks when she doesn't get her way, and is often offended by perceived slights.

Elisabeth's Bellossom, Daffodil, is intimidated by Prim and generally tries to keep her soothed and happy. It is a very thankless task tending to such an easily wounded ego. A Roserade was briefly in Elisabeth's possession, but fights between the two flowery Pokémon resulted in the latter being gifted to ana fell for safekeeping.

Primrose's thorns will sometimes be clipped and macerated to form 'Devil's Breath' poison -- a toxic drug that has truth serum properties. She has privately sold this in the past to patrons such as @alexander.

Day 7: Free Space!
Elisabeth's life left her very isolated and sheltered, particularly in her decade of marriage where friends were few and far between. The result is she often secretly wants to do things she perceives 'normal' people do and enjoy, something which embarrasses her deeply. It makes her excited about seemingly small, insignificant things, like celebrating festivals, or seeing the ocean again, or attending parties, or going to bars or clubs with coworkers. She is such a painfully lonely person at her deepest core, and things that make her feel like she belongs in some way are very precious to her. It's one reason I really enjoy slice-of-life threads with her: she's starting her life over, and making up for her lost time as best as she can.

Day 8: Pokémon Center
The Camphrier Town Pokémon Center was a bit out of the way. Her family would avoid traveling there too often, so their Pokémon were more often regularly treated at home with their own poultices, salves, and potions. However, Elisabeth did like meeting the kind Nurse Joys and seeing the other Pokémon and trainers nearby when she visited.

Day 9: First Victory
Pokemon battles were games that Elisabeth would practice as a child with her father. He loved games of strategy, like chess, and taught Elisabeth to use that sort of tactical thinking in her battles. They were casual and relaxed, and Elisabeth's delight the first time her Wurmple defeated her father's Pokémon was heady with giddiness. Had he been going easy on her? Undoubtedly, in retrospect. But he hadn't let her win initially, either. He was patient, teaching her to consider typing, when to use which move in battle, and how to respond to your opponent's decision-making.

Later, this thought process would prove essential on other battlefields, with Pokémon and people alike.

Day 10: Gym
The only gym badge that Elisabeth has earned is from Georgette Bluebottle. She chose to challenge her friend in a traditional Pokémon battle after hearing she had taken over as the Mossdeep Gym Leader. Despite the Ice-type dominance of the Gym, Elisabeth chose to bring a Tsareena to battle, and this pleased Gigi immensely -- because doing so spoke to the concept of her gym at its core. Enduring.

Day 11: Region
Elisabeth's feelings towards Kalos are complicated in nature. Her marriage to a high-profile figure made her, by default, a high-profile figure herself. Lacking her own agency in the confines of matrimony, the narrative spun about her was rarely kind in nature. Attempts at securing her own freedom would backfire spectacularly, and by the time she left Kalos for Hoenn, her reputation was in complete shambles.

Many in Kalos suspected she killed her husband, even though no proof arose to confirm those claims. Her mental health had been questioned for years in the aftermath of her attempting to blow the whistle on her husband's abusive behaviors to a journalist; instead, he spun the tale as her becoming hysterical and breaking under the duress of being a CEO's wife. Her childhood hometown believed she had destroyed her ancestral home and winery to appease her husband, when he had in fact seized her inheritance himself and made those choices without her input. When he died, she likewise destroyed the rising company he had spent his life building, which many in Kalos viewed as selfish, impulsive, and detrimental to Kalos's technological advancement as a whole.

The result is general bitterness towards Kalos as a region, for all of the structures and hierarchies that should have protected someone like her from someone like her husband failed.

Some of this bitterness and resentment silently colours her view of Hoenn's own leadership and elite, fairly or unfairly.

Day 12: Hometown
Elisabeth grew up in the countryside outside Camphrier Town. Her family's barony was notable for its winery and vineyards, and her parents were well-regarded members of the community. Elisabeth herself is not welcome in Camphrier Town anymore, however. Citing poor mental health, her husband successfully seized her inheritance after her parents died, razing her childhood home to replace it with a satellite location for his business. Locals believe this decision was Elisabeth's, not his, and they are cold to her as a result for turning her back on her heritage. Many also believe the rumors that she killed her late husband, and treat her with disdain.

Day 13: Family
Elisabeth was the only child of Francis and Georgiana Fiorelli. Francis was a kind-hearted and generous man who inherited a winery that he was passionate about, but poor at managing financially. As a result, he put them into debt early on in Elisabeth's life. He was fond of games of strategy, and taught Elisabeth both chess and how to battle Pokémon. He was a cheerful, stout man who always believed in seeing the good in others, and he instilled that lesson in his daughter: even in the darkest places, there is light to be found. This advice would backfire spectacularly, as Elisabeth would initially excuse horrific behavior in her future husband by focusing on his good qualities. Francis died after suffering dementia, never truly realizing the fate his daughter had married into.

Georgiana was a member of another declining noble family. Against her family's better judgment, she married Francis for love, rather than choosing a more affluent partner to salvage her own estates. She was a reasonably famous watercolour painter in southern Kalos, known particularly for her series of flowers set in Floarama Town. She loved flowers and is the reason for Elisabeth's avid passion for gardening and botany. Georgiana taught Elisabeth the language of flowers, and also tried several times to urge her daughter to leave her abusive relationship. Sadly she died too soon for her advice to take hold in any meaningful way.

Elisabeth was unable to attend either of their funerals due to circumstances out of her control. To this day, she grieves them deeply and hopes there is no afterlife, because she cannot bear the idea that they know what sort of person she turned into.

OC-TOBER

Character: Gwyar Wledig

Day 1- Intro
Gwyar Wledig. A knight, veteran and former gym leader of the Galarian Major Circuit who had been enjoying his successful retirement in the recovering tourist paradise that was post-rocket-&-wartime Hoenn. A lonely widower and father of two, after his brief romantic involvement with Dr. Eva Morales he found himself too emotionally invested in the region to simply leave, even as the chaos that had become the new norm returned in full force.

Becoming a police officer in the rocket occupied city of Sootopolis, he struggles daily to keep the more wild and violent elements of Rocket from harming the citizens where they think none can see, all while hoping the day will come when the city will be freed...

That, he'll eagerly say in minute detail, at a moment's notice, no matter who asks.

Amlawdd Gwyar ap Gwrfoddw. A man who's ability to overshare is only surpassed by his ability obfuscate. An INTERPOL Agent who's name is not in the records, only known to his direct superior, the Executive Committee. A renaissance man, he'll become whatever is needed to get the job done.


Day 2: Starter
Two, chosen for him long before he was born. A Ralts, and a Honedge, bred for the singular purpose. They were named Gawain and Galatine by his father, off ancient myths known across Galar, and were to serve Gwyar until the day he or they died. First as playmate and toy, later as sparring tools and guardians, and finally, as bodyguards.

His father never did expect him to grow close to them. The man never had, after all.

But then, he hadn't grown up isolated from the rest of the world, trapped in an icy castle filled with equally cold people. Inevitably, they became not master and servants but best of friends.

They remain with him to this day, decades of experience keeping them alive even against Hoenn's ever-present catastrophes.

Day 3: Childhood
For as long as Gwyar can remember, there has always been a sword in his hand.

He was raised within the Duke's Castle, an ancestral manor that had served as his family's fortress and abode within the Crown Tundra for generations.

He vaguely remembers holding a small, wooden effigy of a sword in hand while crawling through the long, lonely halls of the castle.

His parents were ever present, but emotionally distant. He suspects his father being responsible; his mother always looked at him with sad eyes... he thinks so, anyway. It's hard to recall her face, let alone expression. It's all drowned out by the overpowering image of the Duke of the Crown Tundra.

He recalls vividly the first time he held Galatine in his hands. He must've been five or six. She had felt heavy, significant; different from the toys he had played with. His father had towered over him as he got accustomed to the weight, his frozen monotone present as ever as he drilled into him the very first of many, unforgettable lessons: A proper stance.

Several servants and knights lived within the castle walls as well. Cold men and women who gazed upon the young lord dispassionately. Many took care of him, several others educated him, and a few trained him in 'important' disciplines, as judged by his father.

He recalls poignantly the relieving freedom that came with swinging the sword after another stifling lesson. The open, frozen air of the castle's patio seemed almost inviting when placed against the chilling apathy of the people around him.

Nowadays, they all blend into vague, generic shapes and faces in his memory; their teachings alone remain.

The towns and villages that dotted the lands his father ruled over were little more than logistical numbers to him, points on an unmarked map for him to memorize and rattle out on command to any one of his faceless instructors.

He recalls the weight of the armor on his shoulders and of Galatine at his side while knelt before his father, heels still caked in blood, freshly returned from his first quest. He cannot recall any feelings then; just the hollowness in his chest.

He recalls the weight of Galatine rattling against his back as he rode out into the night on a stolen Rapidash, tasting true freedom for the first time.

Day 4: Best Friend
That woman is dead.

She was always selfish like that. From the moment he first met her.

She demanded a ride to the nearest settlement from the moment her eyes set on him, you know? She had gotten herself stranded in the middle of nowhere and was making it his problem. Questioned his courteousness, his manliness.

He fell for it. He was young and stupid then. He should have known better; should've seen it for the huge sign of things to come that it was.

She became a constant in his life after that, despite his best efforts. They were 'going in the same direction', so why not stick together? He was too polite then to say why, and by the time he felt comfortable enough to tell her off, he wanted her to stay.

Young and stupid.

She was the one who convinced him of participating in the 'Galar Cup' nonsense. Got him a recommendation and everything; really made it hard to say no. Worse yet, she made sure to sweeten the deal— sold him on promises of glory and fame and renown.

And then proceeded to stonewall him from the Champion spot for the next decade. Absolutely refused to let him so much as taste that victory— or any victory, for that matter.

Be it in the stadium or in their new, shared home, he couldn't seem to win, ever. But he couldn't bring himself to mind. He was happy, for the first time in his life—

And then she died.

As suddenly as she had entered his life, she was out of it.

Day 5: Talent
For as long as Gwyar can remember, there has always been a sword in his hand.

The wooden effigy his father had given him in place of toys.

The beautiful Honedge his parents had prepared for him when his training began.

The razor sharp Douedge that had grown alongside him underneath his father's cold, everpresent gaze, hammered into shape by the cold blizzards of the tundra.

The heavy Aegislash on his back as he rode out on his first quest.

The bloodied Aegislash on his side as he returned from his first mission for INTERPOL.

Yes; for as long as he can remember, there has always been a sword in his hand. His Swordsmanship is the one thing that will never betray him.

OC-TOBER

Character: Skyler Dross

Day 1- Intro
Skyler Dross is a ship captain and the co-owner of the maritime salvaging and exploration company, Nautica. Lilycove born and raised, Skyler hasn't strayed from her hometown, haunting the Lilycove docks where her beloved ships are docked: the Dorado, a cabin cruiser, and the Sotally Tober, a battleworn warship.

Her name is recognized in many of the local seaside pubs that line the docks, be it in Lilycove or somewhere else. Nights of revelry, bar brawls and drunken companionship have left her the protaganist of many an outrageous tale. Her infamy in this is only rivaled by her own status as a well-known ship captain and, to a lesser extent, as a highly effective treasure hunter.

In recent years, Skyler's been slowly dragged into the conflicts afflicting the Hoenn region. Avatar to the ancient ocean deity, Kyogre, she finds herself navigating past tricky waters into a future that is uncertain...

Day 2: Starter
A wild child from the start, Skyler would drive her parents up the wall with her abrupt disappearing acts. A blink would be enough to ensure a swift escape down onto the beach, where she'd spend the best part of the day, if possible. No admonishments or punishments would curb the behavior, so eventually Skyler's parents found the next best thing: a pokemon.

Sirena became Skyler's childhood companion in adventure and trouble, fishing her out of the ocean every time Skyler would swim too far or venture into dangerous shallows. It earned the Lapras a no-nonsense disposition to most of Skyler's bullshit, and a sixth sense for when the blonde was about to be trouble. 

Though she's part of Skyler's main team, Sirena seldom sees conflict. She spends most of her time with the other Lapras, enjoying a well-deserved retirement. 

Day 3: Childhood
Marion and Archibald Dross, two local historians working for the Lilycove Museum, had never imagined their only child to turn out a wild-haired hellion.

Nevertheless, the couple raised her as best they could, showering her with love and support and enough homemade meals to drown a small city (thanks, Mr Dross). Though Skyler's choices often felt like a kick to the gut, like choosing to brave the ocean and exposing herself to innumerable dangers instead of going to a safe university, there was never any real attempt to change them. They bought Skyler's first boat, a tiny fishing vessel that got destroyed during a pirate incursion. 

Any trauma in Skyler's life is recent and disconnected from her family or childhood. To this day, she values family above many a material good.

OC-TOBER

Character: Ashley Shepard

Day 1- Intro
A Kanto-era Rocket deserter who left for Hoenn, haunted by the past and confronted with his desire to be a good person. An orphan by parent's choice and not by the lack-thereof, Ashley ran away from it all in an attempt to become a person that he could respect, but with a self-mutilating nature of thinking he deserves every bit of pain he has received since, he isn't getting closer. He's only pushing himself to higher and higher standards.

He knows this, especially after his run-in with jayden cross in a lighthouse, when he was ready to die but lived. So when the closest thing to a father figure in THEO BECKETT sees him for the first time, he makes the ultimatum. Either he burns Rocket and walks, or he burns, and walks back into the organization he deserted.

How do you think that went?

Day 2: Starter
First Pokemon was this little Pichu after he joined Rocket. They were inseparable together. Often, they would snooze and watch stuff when off mission, but when on missions the duo were very compatible. She evolved quickly to a Pikachu, and soon after an Alolan Raichu. It was like having a little sister, and Ashley felt happy. He had purpose, and someone he loved like family.

And then THEO BECKETT took it away from him. More accurately, Ashley was to take her life in front of him as punishment for failure. With it, he became a much more damaged individual. This is where his guilt truly began, and the deeply rooted problems within him.

Day 3: Childhood
Foster children have a really complicated life. Their parents either never wanted them, never deserved them, or never met them. To Ashley, those are the three realities he dealt with. Never meeting his parents, he was in the foster care system early, and he always considered each family a dice roll. It just happened he kept rolling closer to snake-eyes than the twelve most were lucky to get. As such, he was forced to grow up quickly, especially when he left his last home.

When he was in his teens, he met THEO BECKETT to join Rocket in Saffron City, Kanto, and he was going to make a name for himself and get the chance his parents never let him have. The naivety of a boy who believed himself to be able to do it all... sometime in that time he meets jayden cross .

Day 4: Best Friend
Thing is, Isaac Merlo has really been one of the first humans he has gotten to speak with. He's been there for him, and saved his ass from the frying pan. Makes you think, it's truly hard to find a homie like that. With Isaac, he feels he has a best friend that he can rely on. Now defecting back to Rocket, it only makes it stronger.

But, before, he had another best friend. jayden cross was someone who was important to him, but after his desertion of Rocket, they lost contact. Out of choice. Now, however, he finds himself have to question it. Ashley will still look forward to more friends. Maybe more, who is to say?

Day 5: Talent
Ash's talent comes in an interesting form. The moment he left Rocket and was able to live his own life, he realized there was an entire world of culinary arts. Had he the chance to make something of himself, he would have gone to school for it. The moment he puts his pink apron on, and gets to work, he's making the kitchen smell better than a date.

He makes an excellent chef in the kitchen, and with the money he made from his earlier time in Rocket, he was able to buy the tools. Watching food channels, buying cook books, he must have tried for ages. Guy spends weeks trying to make food better than what you find in a restaurant, and he threw himself headfirst into it.

Day 6: Favorite Pokemon
Thing is, Ashley doesn't play favorites. Instead, his newest housemate is an egg he had found during Splashfest. On the beach, it had been alone and abandoned. So, he decided since he stayed with it all day instead of continuing his failed Magikarp Splash streak, to take it with him. After he got home, he even forked over money for a small incubator. It sit in his room, until a fateful day.

He had gone out for lunch with a friend, but they flaked. Instead, he runs into Isaac Merlo and kepler brueshaber, and after getting groceries, they hop over to his place, where the egg is just minutes away from hatching. Ashley dons his pink apron, and begins making sushi, when the new housemate pops out of his shell- literally!

Day 7: Free Space!
So, if he's got his headphones on, he's got a few genres to choose from. Ashley enjoys rap, K-Pop, and R-and-B. Though he tries to enjoy all kinds of music, he still makes the preference to anything with lyrics to the instrumental side of things. Often, he'll mouth the lyrics to himself, but he's not the type to sing it. Serenading is a little cheesy, and he'd have to be awfully smitten to want to do that.

Hey, that's just fine. He likes having it to himself, in his own presence. Often, since he lives alone, he sings in the shower. Yes. He does do that. Is he good at it? I give him a six out of ten. He's not trained, but he's got the emotion right to get it down. A bit of a huskier voice to him, Ashley is a baritone.

Day 8: Pokemon Center
First time Ashley ever went to the Pokemon Center was for Jubilee when she was sick. Little Pichu had a massive fever, to the point that teenage Ashley ran there in just pants and a single shoe. Probably ran a marathon that day by himself. But the good news was, Jubilee was fine! She just had a cold, nothing big!

But that night, Ashley got a cold himself. Guy was so sick from running in the freezing cold in just pants and a single shoe that he had gotten something while there. But Jubilee took care of the poor guy.

OC-TOBER

Character: Eris Halla

Day 1- Intro
A remnant of Kanto that has survived against all odds. Despite how she bore witness to THEO BECKETT killing her parents, Eris has ultimately joined Rocket as they became her only way to get out of the region without being killed. Over time, she has found family within these blood-stained ranks, even getting adopted by Chu-e Choi.

But even with all the memories and care she holds for them, she still finds herself conflicted over her emotions from time to time. They're perfectly capable of killing her and she knows she's on the end of a fraying rope. All she needs is that one push before she falls a long way down.

Day 2: Starter
Reiner, her childhood friend, her brother-in-arms, her only remaining family. They've been through a lot together and Eris has seen him grow from that curious little Shinx into a somewhat grumpy and rather resilient Luxray. Whether it's helping her to cover up her mistakes, go on adventures or fight for their lives, he's been by her side every step of the way and would not hesitate to give his life to protect her.

Day 3: Childhood
Eris was born to Lenore and Finneas Halla, a freelancing legendary researcher and an engineer contracted to work with Vermilion city's energy plants. She had a pretty normal, if only a little rough, childhood. She was bad at fitting in with other kids her age and would constantly get into fights with others, which is why Lenore turned to homeschooling her, teaching her whatever she needs to know and perhaps much more than that.

But her childhood is a broken dream, one burnt away in the fire that Theo had set off. She could only watch as her father was shot at the door and her mother in the back as Lenore tried to carry her to safety. In one last desperate attempt, Reiner managed to drag her out, both of them bearing horrible burns as they made their way to Pallet Town. As soon as they recovered under the watchful eye of Eva Morales, they were desperate to go back to Vermilion and travelled with MATIAS SILPH for safety.

Along the way, they parted ways and the duo returned to ashes and debris. There were no notes waiting for her at their secret base, no signs that would be a promise that he'd come looking for her. She waited for days on end, huddling with Reiner for warmth even as their hope began to falter.

The truth would sink in eventually -

They'd been left behind.

Day 4: Best Friend
From Shinx to Luxio to Luxray, Reiner has been by her side ever since she was a baby. He has seen many things that she has and fought to keep her alive every step of the way. Without Reiner, there would be no Eris. And hell have mercy on the one that takes him away from her.

Hideo Kino and John Sullivan are close seconds after Reiner, having been there for her despite her many horrible secrets. Someday, she'll feel confident enough to confide in them but until then, there are some things better left unsaid.

Day 5: Talent
Eris' talent is her ability to get in trouble at almost every turn. That and her ability to make bad decisions and live despite the consequences she faces.

That aside, her talent lies in the arts, namely playing the piano and carving things from memory. It isn't something that she shows others often, but those who have taken the time to look in her room can sometimes catch the unfinished scores and wooden figures hidden under her mess of maps and books.

Day 6: Favorite Pokemon
Luxray, hands down, no reason needed. Only Reiner though, she has no place in her heart for another.

Day 7: Free Space!
Rosmontis, that is her middle name that she's barely told to anyone. It's not even registered in her birth certificate given how her father had been a few seconds too late to change it before her mother had submitted the name. Even now, this is considered one of her most closely guarded secrets, if only because it reminds her of the life she once had.

Day 8: Pokemon Center
Something about pokemon centres makes her uneasy at times. Perhaps, the memories of laying helplessly before death's door. Or perhaps, the faded memories of a hand holding onto hers, bringing about a sense of security she rarely finds these days. Even so, she does visit pokecenters all around the region on her adventures, just to make sure that her team is in top shape at all times.

Day 9: First Victory
