I re-played Pokemon Moon recently, which gave me the perfect idea for my own little Team Skull member. And now he's consumed my brain. Fun. This rabid racoon of a man is Puck. He's the main graffiti artist of the group, and Guzma's partner in crime. (For better or for worse.) Extensive bio under the cut:

Name: Puck Age: 20s Home Region: Alola Favorite Type(s): Fairy/Ghost Voice Claim: Kellen Goff (Mainly his voice as Roy from Spooky Month) Pronouns: He/They (Transmasc gremlin) Sexuality: Gay/Ace Personality: Absolute rabid dumbass energy, but strangely emotionally intelligent for his what "mean" and "destructive" persona presents. He's a dude that genuinely cares for his "bro" Guzma and everyone in team Skull and he has a genuine love for mural/graffiti art, as well as a passion for music and sewing. Story:

(I'm still kinda hashing out his detailed backstory, so this is kind of a basic rundown.)

Puck is one of the three main Team Skull heads alongside Plumeria and his "bro" Guzma. He acts as the dude's "partner in crime" (mainly when Plumeria is not having Guzma's bullshit) and the two of then are a pure force of destruction and sheer dumbassery.

In battle, he specializes in both Fairy and Ghost types. His main two pokemon are his Sylveon "Ribbon" and his Mimikyu "Tatter". He's incredibly protective of all his "crew" of Pokemon and he WILL maul you himself over them.

Puck is behind a lot of the graffiti in Poi town, and just generally anywhere he feels like. For most of Sun/Moon's story, he's really just being his weirdo gremlin self messing around with Team Skull- Making trouble with the misunderstood weirdos. But he's completely blindsided by his bro suddenly teaming up with this lady from the Aether Foundation. The entire situation just felt like bad news, but Guzma wasn't exactly listening. So when the dude ends up getting whisked away to an entirely different dimension, you just know the alarm bells are ringing for Puck. So he's there with Plumeria when she calls for the MC to bring him back. He's just way worse at keeping his cool about it. But when everything wraps up and his bro is back safe, he's fucking ecstatic but at the same time worried as hell for the dude. But, at the end, he's just happy his friends are alright.

"...Peaceful out, ain't it?"

This is another OC I've been dying to share for Ages- Here's my Sword and Shield dude, Hollow Thorne.

Basically, he's "if one of those creepy 'I see dead people' kids in horror movies grew up to be an adult" and I love him.

As for his story, his whole "deal" is that he's a mysterious dude that travels and camps around the Galar region with an interest in the tale of the Two Heroes. (Particuarly the legendary pokemon) His only explanation is he has "someone to thank". Extensive bio under the cut:

Name: Hollow Thorne Age: Mid/Late-20s Home Region: Galar Favorite Type(s): Ice/Ghost Voice Claim: Damon Albarn (This could probably change if I find a better voice.) Pronouns: He/Him (Weirdo transmasc dude swag) Sexuality: (Grey) Gay/Ace Personality: While he looks a bit spooky and intimidating at first sight, he's actually a bit of a softie! Especially when it comes to his Pokemon team. He's a weirdly morbid sense of humor and absolutely no sense of self-preservation. Story:

Hollow comes from a family of mediums and morticians, and basically grew up around the concept of spirits and the afterlife. And from a young age, he could speak with ghosts and spirits. So he had, uh. a weird childhood. But a good one nonetheless, so he can't complain. When he was a child, he was saved by Zacian/Zamazenta (depending on the game version) after he got lost in the woods one day. After that, he became obsessed with the legends of the Two Heroes of Galar and the involved legendaries. Soon after he joins the gym challenge alongside his close friend from Spikemuth, Piers. And this experience was his first taste of adventure around Galar. So growing up, he had a desire to travel all around Galar to search for the pokemon who saved him long ago. He travels around the region in search of the pokemon who saved him. And during his travels, he comes across many different pokemon. Two of the pokemon he befriends particularly stand out, however. The first is his Froslass, Ami, who he found while exploring the mountains. This Froslass turned out to be a missing researcher who disappeared and sadly passed while on an expedition. The second is a lone Phantump he discovered in the forest who, tragically, turns out to be the soul of a lost boy named Percy. With these two pokemon, he finds a second goal of bringing them both peace. But for the most part, he's just vibing while travelling and camping around Galar and being his weirdo self.

I’ve been wanting to share this girl for a good while now- This is a bit of a revamp of an old OC I made when I was around 15. But I de-selfinsertified her and, y'know, gave her an actual solid backstory and personality.

In short, Rose is the niece of the main villain Lysandre. At first, she'd fit the role of the "angry/mean rival" archetype that XY seems to not have, acting as a rival counterpart to Shauna. (Seeing as everyone else in the main group seems to have a counterpart. Tierno has Trevor, and the MC has Calem/Serena, but Shauna doesn't really have a solid rival outside of the MC.) She's manipulated by her family into helping Team Flare, but in a sort of Zuko/Hunter/Amity-esque arc, she choses to join the main group against her uncle.

Extensive bio under the cut:

Name: Rose Dorado Age: 14

Home Region: Born and raised in Kalos, but moves to Alola with her maternal grandfather Enzio and connects more with her late mother's side of the family in Paldea. Favorite Type(s): Psychic/Ghost Voice Claim: Vanessa Paradis (Lucille from "A Monster in Paris")

Pronouns: She/Her (Experiments a little with They/Them too as she figures themself out) Sexuality: She's still figuring things out. Rose isn't sure about 'lesbian' or 'bi' or whatever so she just leaves it at 'generally sapphic' or just 'I like girls a lot'. She's pretty sure she's on the ace spectrum though. Personality: She starts off as a serious, perfection-obsessed "mean girl" who puts on a tough/cold front in a bid to impress her father and uncle. But deep down, she's an insecure, confused and frustrated kid who wants approval from the only family she has.

But after moving to Alola with her maternal grandfather, she starts to find a softer, dorkier side of herself as he heals. Because deep down she's just a dramatic, passionate, coffee-obsessed nerd who deeply loves her Pokemon.

Story:

Rose is the only daughter of one of the more powerful families in Kalos and the niece of Lysandre. All she ever really knew in terms of "family" were her father Albus, and her uncle Lysandre. She never knew too much about her late mother Alana growing up. What she was never told was that her mother comes from a well-known paldean family of psychics, and she happened to inherit ESP from her mother. She wouldn't discover these powers until her teen years, but she would hide them from her father.

The first Pokemon she recieved in her life was a unique Fennekin she named "Beryl". What makes this pokemon unique is that it is actually an incredibly rare shiny. This shiny pokemon was originally set to be sent to Sycamore's lab for study, but was bought out by Rose's father. Sadly, Beryl was originally meant to be nothing other than a trophy pet. But Rose and Beryl formed a strong connection and manage to be a strong team. Seeing this, her father decides to take advantage of that for Team Flare's (and his own) gain.

During the events of Pokemon X/Y, her drive to become a great pokemon trainer ends up in her getting roped into the "family business". Ergo, Rose is pressured into assisting her uncle Lysandre in his "vision" for the world by helping Team Flare. Despite her convictions, she pushes herself to do so to hopefully impress her only family.

With this pressure, Rose is pushing herself past her limits to meet these high standards. And she's not keen on anyone standing in her way. But there's always that one trainer who seems to pop up wherever she's assigned to- a trainer girl named Shauna. Everywhere she went, this girl was pestering her and getting in the way. But there was something in the things Shauna told her that started inspiring...doubts. As the story progresses, Rose begins to doubt her uncle's "vision" and starts drifting more towards the side of the protagonists. And this all leads to the final confrontation where, with her new friend Shauna's encouragement, she helps the group stop her uncle.

After everything is done- With her uncle presumed dead and her father MIA, Rose is taken in by her maternal grandfather Enzio Dorado. (A mysterious old man that would pop up here and there in the "story".) Rose decides to come with her grandfather to see Alola. And, wanting to go out and visit new regions herself (according to post-game dialogue from her), Shauna joins her new friend in this adventure. For her, the events of Sun/Moon (and Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon) are a time for her to heal from her past and figure out her new life. While she explores this new region, she takes time to process and rediscover herself.

Obligatory OC x Canon: Rose + Shauna (I thought they'd be adorable, and fun to write/draw.)
