Shinji Info
Age: 16
Pronouns: He/Him
Height: 5"4
Species: Half human, Half Lucario.
Backstory: Shinji and Akari were both found just outside of the Heights camp by Laventon shortly after he began working with the galaxy team. After luring them close enough to the camp, he was able to convince them to enter the village and learn to live in human society. He taught them everything himself, from speaking English to reading and writing.
Shinji has always been a bit of a trouble child, preferring to spend most of his time still in the wilderness with wild pokemon. Refusing to wear the Survey Corp Uniform even during missions, and never remembering to fill out his pokedex assignments. Despite all of this, he has this mysterious ability to bond with any pokemon with ease. This can be to the point of intimate relationships, but also keeps him from getting randomly attacked. He gives a lot of valuable information to the Survey Corps which is part of the reason he hasn't been kicked out yet. Laventon mostly has to beg the information out of Shinji, who can't sit still inside long enough to write it all down.
He is incredibly close with all of the Pearl clan, but especially Ingo (Who Shin thinks is very cool) and Lian. Shin and Akari bother Lian almost every day! They consider him their best friend even though he seems irritated when they visit him. Shin likes members of the Diamond clan individually, him and Iscan get along very well, but Shin despises Adaman because Akari has a crush on him. He also distrusts Volo though he isn't sure why…
Akari Info
Age: 16
Pronouns: She/Her
Height: 5"3
Species: Half human, Half Lucario.
Backstory: Akari and Shinji were inseparable when they were found by Laventon, but Akari was clearly the faster learner. While Shinji struggled to blend into society without seeming feral or at least eccentric, Akari has learned to blend into village life almost seamlessly.
She works hard to fill the pokedex and fulfill requests for the two clans, and is incredibly skilled in crafting. All of these strengths make up for the fact, due to her being a female pokemon, most other female pokemon are extremely aggressive and territorial around her. She gets attacked often and randomly by most pokemon, even her own female pikachu can't stand to be commanded by her. Male pokemon on the other hand, bond and listen to her fine!
Akari also has strong connections to the Pearl clan! Unlike Shin though, she also likes and enjoys the Diamond clan too. She has a huge crush on Adaman, and also thinks Volo is kind of cute. This makes Shinji incredibly jealous! Not just because he's her brother, but also because they are sort of a couple. This is kept a secret from everyone except for their best friend Lian.
Akari's Pokemon team:
Hisuian Typhlosion - Male
Pikachu - Female
