Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Gwendolyn
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Species: Snorunt
Guild: Sun
Moveset: Powder Snow, Icy Wind, Double Team.
Personality: Thanks to Gwedolyn's interactions with a certain then-Eevee, she's a rather anxious individual. Of course, even before meeting him, she wasn't the most outspoken. She was rather quiet her whole life.
Bio: Gwendolyn left her clan and came to the guild in the hopes of overcoming her anxiety. Her first attempt with the guild ended promptly in failure, leaving Lyn worse off than she was before. After a tearful conversation with the very understanding Jynx, she formed a new team with a partner who wasn't much better than the last.
Appearance: A standard Snorunt.

Where is she now?: The Snorunt-turned-Froslass ended up leaving the guild for some time to return to her home. But, much to her unfortunate surprise, she quickly found a disturbing truth; she no longer fit in. The much broader views, populace and creations that existed within the guild had changed her far beyond the narrow existence of her home. As of now, none of her original team has met her; whether she has avoided them or not is something that's difficult to say.

Name: Dennis
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Species: Shroomish
Moveset: Absorb, Tackle, Stun Spore, Leech Seed, Headbutt, Poison Powder
Personality biggrin ennis is quiet and direct. He's a simple person with simple goals and simple desires; there's not much else to him. He's extremely helpful and well-meaning although at times he may come across as quite blunt; he always seems to avoid dancing around the point, preferring to instead cut to the chase. His expression is constantly flat and grumpy because of his species. The closest he ever gets to a "smile" is a very stoic look that, for most, would say nothing. But for him, it speaks volumes.
Bio: Dennis lived inside of the Gracedia gardens as one of the few of his kind. He was a sort of "master" of the hedge maze, having an almost unfathomable understanding of it's twists, turns and patterns. He met the group when he found an extremely lost Gwendolyn having a break down. He led her back to the rest of the team and helped them complete the mission by acting as a necessary guide through the maze. With the mission completed and the team safely out of the gardens, he turned to leave when the team invited him to join. With the honest warning of "I'm no good in a fight" he joined Team Shatter. When he came to the city, he was surprised to find that the people of the gardens had actually rather liked him. Many members of the garden had regarded him with fear on the unfounded belief that he ate the flowers. (In truth, he only ate composted material.) Perhaps it was the majority that he so rarely spoke to that bid him a farewell? The Miracle Seed may have been a thanks for his constant help with the maze, which only he knew so well.
Appearance: Just a Shroomish.

Name: Quack (Not really)
Age: ???
Gender: Male (Probably)
Species: Psyduck
Moveset: Water Sport, Scratch, Water Gun, Disable, Confusion, Screech
Personality: A strange little Psyduck. He does not seem to speak at all, ever. No one really knows what he's like. He always seems amicable enough, although he's a little selfish from time to time.
Bio: Quack came to the team room with Steven after the Pirate's Cove. The rest of the team expressed a general disinterest or dislike in the Psyduck and thusly barred him from joining. However, Quack would have none of it. He proceeded to spend the next three hours clawing at the team room door until they finally let him in, at which point he promptly fell over and went to sleep. Quack hasn't spoken at all as far as anyone knows. He is prone to extreme headaches as all Psyduck are, and occasionally the result is a painful psychic attack that covers the room. A few team members have commented afterwards that they think he said something, but none of them are ever sure. It's hard to tell what actually just happened immediately after the fact. Aside from the occasional outbursts, he's a nice enough guy and the rest of the team doesn't seem to mind him. Considering that he arrived at the door immediately after the mission into Pirate's Cove, everyone assumed he came from there. No one is really sure, though. The only sound he ever makes is a "Quack" noise, although he occasionally says variations of "Psyduck" as well. For this reason (and a lack of a name otherwise) he was named "Quack" by Urist. Strangely enough, the name stuck.
Appearance: Just a normal QUACK.

Where is he now?: Deceased.

Name: Gabriel
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Species: Sneasel
Guild: Sun
Moveset: Icy Wind, Faint Attack, beat up, etc.
Personality: Gabriel is kind of an easy-going guy. But that doesn't necessarily mean he's lazy. In fact, it's quite the opposite; Gabriel came to civilization in order to embrace the convenience of society, but quickly found it to be far too passive for him. For this reason, he's often eager to go out and about.
Bio: Gabriel's history is something known only to him and James. At least, the full version. What is known is that after he met James, he went on to meet Alex, Cedric and Amanda. He lived in the P&P Forest for quite some time, hunting whatever he pleased. If James knows where he came from and why, his lips are sealed on the matter. Not even the rest of the crew knows exactly where Gabriel came from. The only event to stand out in his life was the time he acquired his blade; he simply found it in a nest along with an abandoned Explorer's badge.
Appearance: Aside from the sword typically slung over his arm, he's as normal as a sneasel gets.

Name: James
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Species: Poochyena
Guild: Sun
Moveset: Later
Personality: Out of the Crew, James is the one with the most level head. He's also the one who is most independent of Gabriel. Unlike the rest of the group, he has little dependence on the Sneasel. As a person, he likes to relax and is typically fairly calm. He tries to pursue a wide variety of interests (especially with the options the city opened to him), but he's not taken with too many of them.
Bio: Much like Gabriel does, James refuses to speak of both the Sneasel's past and his own. Whatever transpired so long ago is a secret known only by the two. Other than that, he simply lived with everyone else.
Appearance: Normal Poochyena.



Name: Cedric
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Species: Meowth
Guild: Sun
Moveset: Later
Personality: Cedric is, by and far, the best adjusted socially of the entire group. But inversely, he is also often the least confident. As a somewhat wistful creature, he's subject to a great deal of self-consideration, which in turn leads him to often criticize and over think his own past. Like the rest of his group, he's fairly relaxed by nature.
Bio: Cedric's exact history isn't spoken of outside of the crew, but within it is known if only in soft touches. As with all the others, he was taken in by Gabriel when he had nowhere else to go. His uncle had, for some time, been his caretaker. But inevitably death is to come, and for his uncle it was a violent end at the hands of his family.
Appearance: Normal Meowth.



Name: Alex
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Species: Houndour
Guild: Sun
Moveset: Later
Personality: Alex has, by far, the greatest dependency on Gabriel. He constantly refers to the Sneasel as his "boss" and is pretty much willing to do anything asked of him. He is one who, if asked, would actually jump off of a bridge. Accordingly, he's a touch hyper and a bit more excitable. However, he holds strong bonds with those he considers friends and a good guy.
Bio: Alex's story isn't a hard one. He never really had a family. His parents died and the rest of the litter went with them. Of course, pokemon are both like yet unlike wild animals; he would not be totally abandoned, but he would not be totally accepted either. As something of a poor hunter, the burden inevitably fell to other Houndour and Houndoom to help provide for him. He was not well-liked. He was, in fact, the only one to opt to join more by choice, rather than by circumstance.
Appearance: Normal Houndour.



Name: Amanda
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Species: Ekans
Guild: Sun
Moveset: Later
Personality: Amanda is soft-spoken and, more than anything, slow to speak. She gives a great deal of consideration to even the most mundane things, from what she wants for breakfast (at least, now that she has a choice) to what to do in a dungeon. However, her memory is excellent which allows her the burden to give things such consideration; if she is allowed to think, she always chooses the option she feels is best.
Bio: Amanda's story, much like Alex's, was simple. But she wasn't quite as lucky; there were no Arbok to take her in. She had been alive only for a few weeks on her own when she was found inside of what was to become their home. The Ekans, at the time, had nearly starved to death. Ever since, she's been rather attached to Gabriel and extremely prone to following him.
Appearance: Normal Ekans.


Where are they now?: The crew actually continued doing guild work for quite some time. They weren't dissuaded from the course of action. Although they were saddened by the loss, they had come to enjoy their new place within the guild and they continued to work to maintain it. Unfortunately, all things must come to an end and the guild eventually found out the team had disbanded; with that, they were no longer able to take missions. Opinions on what to do were conflicted. Some of the crew were more inclined to leave than others, whereas some were keen on staying. In the end, each went their own way.

Gabriel found himself well enough suited to the city life, but he wasn't without his trips into the wild either. The Sneasel-turned-Weavile ended up doing mercenary work independently. He would offer his services as an independent agent to both teams that were in need of aid and those who put out offers in the form of "missions". With the guild security as lax as it always was, it was easy for him to search for clients off the board. Though, that wasn't the only reason he went into the wild... Food just wasn't quite as nice if you didn't find it yourself, especially some kinds. He's since joined Team Blacksteppe.

James was easily the most acclimated when the group disbanded. He was the only one to stay in the city completely. He found his place in the city quite easily as he moved from odd job to odd job. As he was no longer beholden to expectations of others or himself, he quickly began to find that he had a strong personality. He was prideful, and though not without arrogance it was hardly overbearing. It was easy enough for him to find work and a place to sleep as he moved about the town.

Cedric eventually gave up on the city life. The idea of constantly having to work and search for both a place to live and food to eat wasn't exactly something that struck him as fun. He had enjoyed it with the rest of the group because the work he had done was enjoyable and it was with his friends, but menial labour wasn't his deal. So he returned to the wilderness and once more found his home in the grass and his food on the trees. He still visits the town, though. Even if he doesn't want to live there, the city still has some enjoyable attractions.

Alex ended up doing an awkward dance between living in the wilds and the cities. The hunt was something he enjoyed; it was difficult to give up. Yet, at the same time, he didn't like the idea of going back to the wild life. Most of the wild pokemon disliked his... disability, and the city as a whole was much more welcoming to him. Thus, he ended up skipping back and forth across the line. The wilds became his often-home and source of food while the city was home just as often and a source of fun.
