THE STORY SO FAR

When Oscar Clayton first arrived in Hoenn, he was a penniless thief on the run from Alolan law enforcement. His parents were the CEOs of Infinity Industries, a construction company responsible for much of the modern development on the Alolan isles (for better or worse). With his only brother having no interest in business, Oscar was in line to inherent the company after the death of his parents. However Oscar's inheritance was frozen after his stint with the law, and he would not be able to access it until he proved himself to be responsible enough to handle the responsibility of wealth.

Through hard work (and more crime) Oscar was able to present himself as responsible enough to obtain his inheritance properly. Equipped with the resources of Infinity Industries, Oscar was able to connive and sabotage his way into buying the recently disgraced Greater Mauville Holdings company. Using GMH's research and development teams, he would invent the Infinity Generator: a powerful generator that could power cities using infinity energy.

Creating the generator created a spark within Oscar, and he would soon begin to focus on immersing himself into the world of scientific exploration. His endeavors could not be called morally sound however, as Oscar seemed infatuated with exploiting the world's resources to harness new forms of energy. This would accumulate in the development of the 'poke pod' a device that extracted infinity energy directly from a living pokemon at the cost of that pokemon's life.

Oscar's adventures would hit a snag while helping to reconstruct Bill Anderson 's Church of Arceus. As it turned out, the church had been committing atrocities of its own deep underground, and while excavating the ruins of the church's inner sanctum Oscar would encounter a failed attempt to clone Arceus. The gaseous monster would be defeated, but not before being breathed in by Oscar. The particles Oscar had inhaled solidified within his internal organs, slowly spreading and corrupting everything it touched. Eventually, Oscar had no choice but to flee to Alola in order to receive treatment.

Months later, Oscar has returned with a clean bill of health. He intends on resuming his research, having received a plethora of dark new ideas from his feverish dreams.

GET TO KNOW OSCAR

While billing himself as a professional criminal, Oscar is not that bad of a guy. He is easy to talk to, although his excessive swearing can be initially abrasive. He does not seek to be personally malicious unless you have wronged or threatened him, meaning that it is incredibly easy to ignite a friendship. Once you gain his trust and loyalty, it shall be very difficult to lose either. This is actually one of Oscar's greatest flaws, as his allegiances have been tested by the bonds he has created while living in Hoenn.

It is easier to become friends if you: Are a member of Rocket, are not serious all the time, enjoy exploration and discovery, enjoy committing petty crimes, have a skewed moral compass, can appreciate the beauty of Bug pokemon, hate Raziel Beckett , let him do nice things for you, are frequently available for absurd misadventures.

Friendship Plot Hooks:

• Assist him in his latest scientific endeavor.
• Enlist his help in your own devious schemes, he is always willing to lend a hand to a fellow criminal.
• If he has your number, he may text you late at night demanding that you meet him somewhere strange. Do it.
• If you are new to Rocket, reach out to him for training. He is always willing to share what he knows. He might even bring his Genesect to help, what a treat!

VILLAIN NUMBER ONE

Oscar has thus far tried his best to avoid open conflict with members of the League. As the CEO of a well known company within Hoenn, Oscar felt that it was within his best interest to maintain a facade of decency and strong moral character. After narrowly avoiding death however, he is no longer interested in pretending to be something that he is not. Oscar will no longer hide his sinister nature, and while being this open shall be freeing he is likely to make more enemies along the way. Even those who call him a friend may second guess themselves as his nefarious ways come to light. He is not prepared for that, although he will claim to be.

It is easier to become his enemy if you: Are a ranger, actively attempt to get in the way of his goals, hate Team Rocket and everything they stand for, object to the darker side of scientific discovery, are Raziel Beckett , are friends with Raziel Beckett , betray Rocket, betray him.

Enemy Plot Hooks:

• Oscar's devious ventures shall need to be opposed. He shall need heroes to stop him and for him to overcome. Perhaps a new rivalry can be born.
• Oscar is willing to push the boundaries of his humanity in order to make new discoveries. Perhaps you realize that you bit off more than you can chew at a pivotal moment during a collaboration.
• Oscar has his sights set on Mauville, are you going to stand by while he tries to take over?

LOVE IS HARD

Oscar has never been what you might call 'emotionally available'. He has had one unfulfilling relationship and a less than satisfying f.w.b. situation, and that's all. He has never gone out of his way to find companionship, as he feels both uninterested and unworthy. Yet after escaping the grasp of death, he suddenly realized what he has been missing out on. It will not be easy, but he is more willing to open his heart up to others.

It is easier to romance Oscar if you: Are a frequent collaborator, accompany him on multiple misadventures, understand his view points on discovery, prove you know him well, prove you can be trusted, are a top.

Romance Plot Hooks:
Arrrre harder to define. Hollow doesn't know how to do these kind of plots but is down to try. Just have your character get to know him and we can plot something out along the way if they have good chemistry. It's better if it happens organically instead of specifically seeking it out, y'know?

HELPFUL PLOT HOOKS

• If Oscar trusts you and you share his passion for discovery and progress, he may share his latest long-term project: The Alpha/Omega Initiative. Early collaboration will be helpful to get this particularly complex plot off the ground.
• As far as Oscar is aware, he is on friendly terms with the legendary pokemon Zapdos. The bird currently lives on his property, so if you wish to have an audience he could likely act as a middle-man.
• Oscar has invested interest in the Ultra Desert. Archeological secrets are calling out to him, and he shall be making frequent visits in the coming months.
• Oscar is the master of the first Genesect, which he has dubbed Genesect Prime. If you have created your own Genesect, it may be interesting to see how the two interact with each other. This could be especially helpful if you wish to make your Genesect more personable, as Prime has had a substantial amount of emotional development thanks to its training with Oscar.
• As mentioned in his friendship section, Oscar is eager to help other Rockets with their long-term goals. If your character ever needs assistance, Oscar will forever be at your disposal.
