Name: Shaun Rowland Gender: male Age: 17 Profession: Watcher/Traveler Personality: really lazy, unless it involves learning about or photographing pokemon. he's quite friendly and polite, and will generally ask a trainer for permission to photograph their pokemon, unless it's performing or at some other public event. Appearance: Tall and a bit lanky, with ginger hair that's short but a bit shaggy, hazel eyes and a smattering of freckles across his face. He tends to wear camouflage plants, a forest green t-shirt and a khaki short-sleeved jacket with lots of pockets, which are always stuffed with photography equipment. He also wears a brown newsie cap, which he pulls over his eyes whenever he takes a nap on Salvo's back. History: -born and raised in Hoenn -as a kid liked to stop by Prof. Birch's lab to look at all the pokemon -got a disposable camera for his 10th birthday, filled it in half an hour with pokemon photos -Prof. Birch loaned him a digital camera for use at the lab, and showed him how to take better pictures -at age 14, Prof. Birch hired him as a "research assistant" (meaning he let Shaun tag along when he went to observe pokemon in the field, let the boy take pictures of whatever they were observing and paid him a little so he could save up for his own photography equipment) -at age 16, learned about a recently discovered, little explored region named Zatao. he set out to explore it and photograph the different pokemon it contained -as a parting gift, Prof. Birch gave him his own pokemon. But since the prof. was out of the normal starters at the time, he gave Shaun a Tropius he had handy.

Name: Salvo Gender: male Specialty: Companion Coloration: Shiny recessive Personality: laid back. tends to show affection by slurping History: caught by Prof. Birch, which wished to study its unusual coloring. Once he'd finished studying it, he gave it to his part-time assistant, Shaun, when the teen left for a new region. Salvo has served as Shaun's companion and main mode of transportation since.

Name: Fleet Gender: female Specialty: Companion Coloration: normal Personality: very clueless, never quite sure what's going on, tends to go with the flow History: When Shaun heard about a pokemon triathalon event, he came over to watch and photograph some pokemon. When he found out there was a chance to catch a water-type, he thought it might be useful, since Salvo couldn't go everywhere and a pokemon he could ride on the water would be useful. He managed to catch a Magikarp, and even though the fish is rather small now, she'll make a wonderful mount when she evolves.
Name: Tikvah Gender: female Specialty: Companion Coloration: Normal/Color Variation Recessive Personality: very timid and afraid of conflict, tends to cling to Shaun History:
