Some people gotta stay one step ahead of their past. Sorry to say, I'm one of 'em.

Note: Duo is indeed a cosplay of Duo Maxwell ala Gundam Wing, tweaked to fit the universe of Pokemon. 8| Beware.

Trainer Name: Duo Maxwell
Age: 21 (speculative)
Birthday: August 8th (given birthday, real birthday unknown)
Gender: Male
Hair: Chestnut brown, to his butt. He generally keeps it braided. Seeing it loose is VERY rare.
Eyes: Cobalt blue. Sometimes look purple-ish, in the right light.
Other physical traits: Has more than a few scars in various places on his body, usually hidden by clothing. Has a slight tan, and a grin most people find annoying or charming.
Clothes:
Place of Origin: Kanto Region - Saffron City
Profession: Traveler (Former Rocket Grunt)

Personality:

Life before Zatao: Duo has not had it easy in life. First off, he's an orphan, has been since he was at least a toddler. He doesn't remember his parents at all, or even what his birth name is. He spent the first part of his life in a gang of kids that had banded together for survival, led by a boy named Solo, in the worst part of Saffron City. Solo was like an older brother and father to Duo, teaching him how to survive and how to watch out for your own. He even gave Duo a birthday, so they could figure out an 'age' for him. But for a while, he still had no name other than 'Kiddo'. Then several of the kids in the gang got sick, Solo included. None of them got better...and Solo died. Duo finally got a name, if in a strange way: "If Solo's with me, we'll be Duo." He took leadership of the gang, since no one else seemed up to it. No one's sure why, but he made it a point not to lie starting sometime during his time as the leader.

A couple of years later, the gang got picked up by the police, and turned over to a church orphanage. Duo was the only one not adopted, since he had severe authority issues. Those in charge of the orphanage, Father Maxwell and Sister Helen, ended up raising him in the church for the next few years, until he was (everyone supposed) 12. He was exposed to their Pokemon (a Growlithe and a Chansey), and did well with them, helping Chansey with the lighter chores and curling up with Growlithe after dinner. He started calming down a bit. And then tragedy struck. He won't talk about it, but it's obvious neither of his new parental figures made it. The Growlithe did, and the two of them were on the streets for several months, stealing to live and getting into fights when others picked them.

Shortly after he turned fourteen, he was recruited by Team Rocket with the promise of a warm bed, food, and access to medical care for Growlithe. He ended up learning quite a bit about machines during his time as a Grunt, and did a lot of things he's not proud of. But he managed to keep to his thing about not lying. When he was twenty...he got an opportunity to leave Team Rocket, taking it without having to think on it. He left Growlithe in the care of an old couple that owned a ranch he passed, where the Pokemon could live the rest of his life in peace, and Duo himself took to the road, looking to stay one step ahead of Team Rocket. After all, they're not all that...kind to defectors.

He's spent the last year making a living simply by offering his services as a mechanic as he travels, and recently managed to make it to Zatao. A new place, a new start...right?

Where the wandering mechanic has traveled


Katarina - More than a year after the discovery of Zatao, the pioneers found an ideal place for a bustling city. Located in the southeast in a large, fertile plain is Katarina. Already large, it features apartment buildings, a Pokemon Center, Hotels, Police Station, Pokemart and a large harbor. Trainers and the like arrive everyday in groups, as sea traffic increases.
