Human Organizations

PEFE and the J-Fleet

Also known as the Extended Pokédex project, the Pokédex Extended Fileshare Endeavor (PEFE) is an organization that began as a way to update long outmoded dex entries. After their takeover of the Pokefutures Corporation, they grew in power to become a leading scientific organization.

In General

Abandoned Laboratory: Many of its newer "assets" are like this. Most of them are long-abandoned Pokefutures facilities that have been left classified. The legal right to owning these facilities as well as right of salvage belongs to PEFE alone.
Heroes "R" Us: The de facto organization behind the J-Team, though PEFE has very little actual authority over them. PEFE allows the J-Team use of its facilities and often comes to the financial and legal aid of its members.
N.G.O. Superpower: Thanks to being assigned Pokefutures' vast array of assets. PEFE has offices in many regions across the globe, as well as their own still-undisclosed island off the Sea of Kyogre. That still doesn't let them solve firepower with force. Besides technology it developed in house or salvaged from someone else, PEFE strikes deals with affiliated organizations like Asimov and various business partners to keep them well-stocked.
Safely Secluded Science Center: PEFE's headquarters is on an off-the-maps island in the Sea of Kyogre.

The Stormchaser

The J-Team flagship and also their mobile home, the Stormchaser was originally acquired from the J-Team by recovering it from the Illusion Project.

Affectionate Nickname: Since it became sapient, Beck had been extra affectionate toward the ship and has taken to calling it "Stormie."
BFG: The Stormchaser is armed with large, powerful cannons that allow it to hit far above its weight class.
Bigger on the Inside: The Stormchaser is larger on the inside as a result of originally being a Mobius creation, and creates rooms as needed for new J-Teamers.
Love Imbues Life: While it was implied to be vaguely alive before, the J-Team's bonds, combined with the help of Uxie and Tagg's Victini, is used to give the Stormchaser true sapience.
Primary-Color Champion: The Stormchaser is yellow in color and serves as the living home base of the heroic J-Team.
Sapient Ship: The Stormchaser is alive and serves as the J-Team's protector.
The Voiceless: The Stormchaser doesn't talk, so Trojan does the talking for her.

PEFE!Every

Every Desk Memito/PEFE!Every

A PEFE Researcher who happens to look just like Ever, prior to discovering that she's trans and changing her genetic makeup to match.

Artifact Title: PEFE!Every was called that to separate them from Ever, but it's remained as her designation even after Ever excised the "y" from their name.
Character Development: Being outside of the HQ on a more regular basis is slowly causing her to gain a greater sense of personal morality and emotional openness.
Crippling Overspecialization: Her mons are very good at lab work... but not so much at actual battling, save for Sharptooth the Krookodile and the Dunsparce Legion, barely, and the latter have sheer numbers on their side. If PEFE!Every's countermeasures fail, she's left completely helpless since unlike her mentor Tagg she's useless in a direct fight.
Everyone Has Standards: Tells the Sole Survivor Grunt to his face that she finds him and the rest of his deceased group to be utterly loathsome individuals for using mons as batteries.
Mad Scientist: Downplayed, and ping-pongs between here and Reluctant Mad Scientist or Kidnapped Scientist. She isn't quite as unhinged as the average example of the trope, but she refuses to stop creating, no matter what situation she's in and who gets custody of her work when she's done with it.
No Social Skills: Lived in the bowels of PEFE HQ after being abandoned by her parents, up until Tagg found her about a year before the Sinnoh Arc, and doesn't like leaving the HQ at all, or any visitors, so she's bad at dealing with people. It's noted when they first met that her voice sounded as if she hadn't used it to speak to another human in a very long time.
Not So Stoic: The Alola and Entralink Arcs reveal that despite her stoic exterior, she's actually extremely afraid of failure and abandonment due to being abandoned by her parents. Since she views Tagg and Echo as the closest thing she has to parental figures, it means she's willing to do foolish things in order to impress them.
Odd Friendship: She and Ever have issues getting along, since PEFE!Every finds them weird and creepy, and Ever has no issue needling her over how she's treated them over the years, but they're actually somewhat friends despite it all.
Older Than They Look: At 14 they looked more like an elementary schooler due to years of malnutrition stunting their growth.
The Paranoiac: Due to having to fend for herself against the Scythermen and other Pokefutures experiments for years in the bowels of PEFE HQ after getting abandoned by her parents, plus getting abducted by Revy II and being forced to work for her for months, PEFE!Every is an extremely paranoid person at all times, and has numerous countermeasures to protect herself from all manner of threats.
Self-Made Orphan: By proxy, since her creation Unigma kills her father Martin, and her teleport blocker kills her mother Leslie.
Signature Headgear: Is always seen wearing a grey wide-brimmed hat, which she eventually trades in for a beanie following Carna destroying it.
Speaks Fluent Animal: Can speak Sparceltongue, a Monese dialect unique to Dunsparce, which she uses to give the Legion orders without other people knowing.
Teleport Interdiction: Created a device based off of teleport jammers that allows for the teleportation, but not materialization. It's exactly as lethal as it sounds.
Trap Master: Her specialty is in making various booby traps in order to defend herself. When a Pokefutures squad from another universe comes to try to take all of PEFE HQ's mons, between her traps, the Scythermen they were controlling turning on them, and the Dunsparce Legion, the squad suffers a 99% fatality rate save for one Grunt.
Undying Loyalty: Her ultimate loyalty is to the PEFE and its founders no matter what, and in her talk with her parents reveals that she's even internalized their motto to some extent despite her issues with general ethics. The person she's most loyal to, however, is Tagg, due to being the one to recruit her.
Wild Child: Lived by themselves in PEFE HQ for years before Tagg found them at age 14, looking more like a monster than a human due to their long and matted hair.
Zerg Rush: In a direct fight her main strategy if possible tends to be overwhelming her opponents with the combined forces of the Dunsparce Legion. Which tends to work out pretty well when it's a bunch of snakes with drills for tails that can easily run a person through.

Pris

Priscilla Kwan

PEFE's head of accounting, though her responsibilities tend to vary depending on the situation. Daughter of a rich magnate and an industrialist, and moonlights as the armored superhero Taipan.

Amicable Exes: With Jon, of a sort. Their breakup was brought about by necessity and was not acrimonious.
Cool Car: Several. She drives to work in a Ferrari. She also has a Theme Mobile, the Centennial Seviper.
Clark Kenting: A glasses-wearing, frumpish accountant who's actually a superhero.
Crimefighting with Cash: Uses expensive state-of-the-art technology paid for by her trust funds and her parents' cash gifts to disrupt gangster activity. Ironic, given that she herself is effective at saving money in her day job.
Cultural Posturing: She is part-[Chinese] and has boasted about her cultural heritage in a battle.
Desk Jockey: Her main role, if she's not fighting crime.
Expy: Of both Rescue and Iron Man, being a office worker who doubles as a superhero.
Fluffy Tamer: Her first Pokémon is a Seviper that she had since she was a young girl.
Girl Friday: The efficient accountant responsible for keeping PEFE in the black.
Gun Nut: She uses a lot of firearms. She's no Crobatman
Hit-and-Run Tactics: Her entire schtick as a superhero. She fights organized criminals by disrupting their supply chains and causing them to hemhorrage money. Apparently, this is cheaper and faster than just suing their kingpins.
Non-Idle Rich: Comes from a rich family but chose a day job that reflected her ideologies best.
Non-Powered Costumed Hero: Her superpowers are that she's rich and she knows how to save money.
Paperworkaholic: She's very efficient with the way she runs things at her department.
Super Hero: Takes on the Seviper-themed armored identity Taipan (also a Punny Name. Taipans are a kind of IRL venomous snake and an unrelated term describing East Asian business magnates).
Sibling Yin-Yang: With her brother, Amoral Attorney Henry. She works for a Hero Org while he works for a unethical MegaCorp. She is a superhero while he is completely mundane. She focuses on saving money while he pays top dollar for effective business solutions.
The Main Characters Do Everything: Although nominally in charge of balancing PEFE's books, she often takes on other roles of high importance such as talking to the authorities, overseeing the legal safety of J-Teamers, and cataloguing new assets. At least once was it lampshaded; the actual person in charge had fallen ill.

Murphy the Porygon

Priscilla's main assistant, a specially formatted and colored Porygon known as a PEFEgon. He doubles as one of Taipan's 12 Zodiac-themed partners in crimefighting.

Benevolent A.I.: Like all the PEFEgon, Murphy is a good-aligned and good natured Porygon who helps run a largely benevolent organization.
Official Couple: With Jonathan's Porygon2 Walter. They remain a couple long after their trainers broke up.
Playful Hacker: Part of repertoire of do-gooder tasks is to hack into computer systems and mine incriminating files from the bad guys. Because it's a break from the usual routine, he jumps at the chance to do it.
Robot Buddy: Although initially assigned to be Priscilla's personal assistant, he's since become her closest confidante.
Uniformity Exception: Most of Priscilla's 12 crimefighting partners are Pokémon that correspond directly (more or less) after the animals of the Eastern Zodiac. He and Maverick the Skarmory are the odd ones out. As Mav is vaguely meant to be the rooster, this leaves Murphy—a computer program that manifests as a yellow and green duck—as the dog.
Virtual Sidekick: A superhero sidekick, to be precise. Besides being Priscilla's friend and coworker, he is also one of her team of 12 Pokémon who fight crime alongside her.

Craig the Seviper

Priscilla's starter and a longtime companion since she was a little girl. Craig also works as part of the 12 Zodiac-themed crimefighting team, representing the snake.

Dark Is Not Evil: He's a dark colored venomous snake and also a superhero. Hammering the point home, his trainer themed her superhero persona after his species.
Fluffy the Terrible: He's a venomous serpent who happens to have an incredibly milquetoast name.
Sssssnake Talk: As a Seviper, he speaks a dialect of Monese that sounds a lot like hissing. Per Translation Convention leads to his s-sounds being accented and drawn out.
True Companions: One of Priscilla's oldest friends; they've been together since she was still a small child.

Beck

Sterling "Beck" Beckett

Former head of security at Macraul Manor and currently an employee at PEFE.

Black and Nerdy: A mixed-race Galarian of [African] descent and a cybersecurity expert.
Defector from Decadence: After an incident in Macraul Manor, he defected to PEFE after being verbally and physically abused by the Macrauls.
Oop North: Hails from Wedgehurst and lived in Motostoke, developing a very [Northern] working class accent in the process.
What, Exactly, Is His Job?: The extent of what he does at PEFE is not known. Presumably, he's part of the security detail, but he does a lot of things that aren't under that. It's generally safer to call him "Priscilla's assistant."

Captain Andrej

Capt. Andrej Ditkovic

Captain of the PEFE oceangoing vessel the RV Hammerspace.

The Good Captain: Shown to be quite a competent sailor who prioritizes his crew and ship.
Cool Old Guy: He's in his early 80s and is still fit enough to be the captain of a freighter. His grandchildren, including his daughter's son Tommy, tend to see him like this. Two of his grandsons are themselves sailors working at the Hammerspace, following in his footsteps.
Doting Grandparent: He was this whenever he was around his grandchildren to make up for being absent in their parents' lives and for still being very busy. Tommy recalls him to be very affectionate toward him, probably because he's the young son of his deceased only daughter.
Father Neptune: Downplayed. He doesn't display the stereotypical characteristics of a grizzled old sailor (he doesn't speak with a fake West Country accent) but he is still a seasoned octogenarian captain of a freighter.
Outliving One's Offspring: His daughter Stephania was murdered. She lives on in the present as a rotom, and they have awkwardly tried to rebuild their relationship after meeting once more.
Parents as People: His mostly-absent parenting strained his relationship with Stephania, and they only very briefly reconciled when Tommy was born. It was enough of a rapproachment that Stephania gave Tommy the middle name "Andrew". However, these issues all resurfaced when they met once again 20 years after her death.
When You Coming Home, Dad?: Was mostly absent in his children's lives. This affected Stephania greatly, and even their brief rapproachment before death did little to actually remedy their relationship when she realized he was also absent from her son's life. Tommy and his cousins do not hold his absence against him, as he was by and large quite loving whenever he was around.

Astatine

Astatine (Austin Timms)

The (previously-)disembodied consciousness of the 85th Schoolchild of the School's Freshman Class. Formerly residing in the School's computer networks, he now lives in the Stormchaser.

Benevolent Boss: Feeds Willard and keeps him safe, earning the latter's Undying Loyalty.
Big Eater: Started eating copious amounts of food since he retrieved his physical body. While he likely ate potatoes, rice, and other nutrient-dense foods at first, he's since graduated to junk food. Might be justified as he is used to expending a lot of energy and has only learned of the pleasurable side of eating for the first time.
The Disembodied: For a time, he was a human consciousness that lived in cyberspace, produced by an Astral Projection experiment that went horribly wrong. The whereabouts of his physical body (and key details about how he was even decanted) have been previously unknown. For much of 2021, everyone else thought he was dead; his "passing" was often used as a cautionary tale for the other Freshmen.
Everyone Knows Morse: He makes this assumption. In the absence of an electronic speech synthesizer or unwitting puppet, he prefers to communicates through flickering lights whose patterns match International Morse code. Barring that, he'd just try to hit you up telepathically.
Logical Weakness:
- His powers are energy-intensive, and his abilities are limited by the circuitry he ends up in.
- His physical body has been in stasis for over a year and is in very poor health; upon regaining control of it, he barely musters enough energy to talk, let alone move. By all accounts, he shouldn't even be alive.
Meaningful Name: Astatine is an unstable element and he had unstable powers when he was first decanted.
People Puppets: With enough energy at his disposal, he can take control of individual people.
Trademark Favorite Food: While partial to all manner of junk food, Astatine is especially fond of drinks made of probiotic yogurt. It was recommended to him to bolster his sparse gut flora.
You Are Number 6: The 85th schoolchild of the Freshman batch and named for the 85th element. He still goes by his designation and, when communicating in Morse, its initials on the periodic table (AT).
Younger Than They Look: And sound, for that matter. Astatine gives off a voice not too unlike an Internet-savvy grumpy teen. He is barely a year old in 2022. Physically, he resembles a very scrawny, sickly teenage boy.

Willard the Rattata

Astatine's only pokémon and main mode of interaction with the outside world. Astatine usually converses with him through telepathy.

Sycophantic Servant: Willard often obeys Astatine without question.
True Companions: Astatine won his hard-earned loyalty by guiding him to food and is always grateful to his assistant. In turn, he's been dedicated to his "master" and cares greatly for his wellbeing.

Nick

Nikola "Nick" Ditkovic

A laser technician for PEFE. One of two of Andrej's grandchildren who work for the organization. Tommy Petersen's maternal cousin.

Crippling Overspecialization: While quite intelligent, his knowledge is far more restricted to the usage of laser tech, which apart from mundane applications elsewhere in PEFE seldom has any plot relevant uses.
Dartboard of Hate: Among the many proponents of this, using lasers. He gleefully claims that one of the reinforced bunkers PEFE uses for testing cutting lasers can also be (and has been) used to shoot said lasers at effigies of PEFE's enemies.
Gun Nut: But for laser guns specifically. Nikola is passionate about lasers, including the very dangerous cutting lasers he uses
The Main Characters Do Everything: Due to narrative nominal importance, he spends a lot of time in the spotlight since he was introduced. Justified a few times:
- For the scenes involving his grandfather and his cousin Tommy, it's likely because they would likely prefer to confide with a relative.
- His involvement with Silas' attempts to forge Mandalorian armor make sense because he runs the laser bunker they used to test it.
Obstructive Bureaucrat: While he can be quite helpful as a PEFE contact, he is bound by the same need-to-know regulations and can only feed information to those looking for it when he's cleared to.
Polyamory: Although it is seldom brought up or dwelt upon, he mentions that he belongs to a romantic polycule.
Running Gag: If you haven't guessed: anything involving cutting lasers.
The Smart Guy: Comes with being a laser technician and runs in the family. Nikola is very well versed in how lasers work and how they can be used. That said, he does acknowledge that his smarts pales in comparison to his cousin Tommy, whose knowledge base outside his immediate field of expertise is significantly broader.
Strong Family Resemblance: His appearance and mannerisms greatly resemble his cousin Tommy (only unlike his cousin, he doesn't really see himself as a dork). Anyone who looks at them can come to the conclusion that they're blood relatives.

The Geographic Society

An expy of a similarly named IRL publication and media franchise, the Geographic Society focuses on science journalism and nonfiction. It is a massive franchise that contains a longrunning documentary series, a science and culture magazine, a weekly news publication, a channel full of edutainment content, and a [YouTube] channel with an edutainment program.

In General

Adventurer Archaeologist: Their old membership from the 19th and early 20th Centuries were like this.
Adventure Guild: Sometimes, the org kinda acts like this when giving out assignments to employees.
Badass Bystander: Almost a job requirement. GeoSoc employees on the field regularly encounter dangerous situations and can hold their own. At least one employee is secretly a Science Hero.
Camera Fiend: An entire org's worth of them.
Cast of Expies: Most of the staff started as such.
- Hank, Jane, Flash, Tommy, and to a lesser extent Jean and Shutter are based on characters from Marvel Comics:
  - Hank: J. Jonah Jameson
  - Jane: Mary Jane Watson, Gwen Stacy, and Michelle Jones
  - Flash: Betty Brant
  - Tommy: Peter Parker
  - Jean: Scott Lang
  - Shutter: Eddie Brock (film version) and Flash Thompson
- Dr. Williams is based on Fred Rogers and Bill Nye.
- His mother, Dame Williams, is based on Judi Dench as M from James Bond
- Dr. Van Dyke is based on Mr. Dawes from Mary Poppins.
- They have a guy named Sparky on their video editing team.
Coca-Pepsi, Inc.: Although based on National Geographic, the org also has shades of Discovery Communications in its matrix, more often than not as snide references to their programming. The actual analogue for Discovery, Contact Communications, also exists.
Giant Flyer: The org employs a squadron of trained Fearows as aerial videographers.
The Intern: They have a robust internship program that can be a potent qualification for many college and job applications further down the line.
Intrepid Reporter: Commands an army of these.
Oddly Small Organization: Averted; GeoSoc has a complex organizational structure with offices across multiple regions with their own leadership, typically headed by a board of senior editors and an editor-in-chief
The Main Characters Do Everything: Played with by necessity: although various side characters with clear non-RP jobs are name dropped and mentioned, the action usually focuses on journalists, field videographers, and editorial staff, and not a few of their filmmakers shoot almost entirely guerilla-style.
Shout-Out: The org serves as an in-universe means to mention and expound upon Pokémon lore, especially from the anime and spinoff games. Their preferred photographers, for instance, are trained under Todd Snap's program.

Jean

Captain Jean-Marie Martel

The senior editor of the Kalos division of the Geographic Society who oversees the Kalosian edition of its magazine and website. A former member of the gendarme of Kalos, the rumors of him crime fighting in his spare time are probably grossly exaggerated.

Benevolent Boss: In sharp contrast to his Unovan counterpart, he is generally respectful of his subordinates and is only strict when he has to be.
The Captain: Was fairly competent in his days as a law enforcer and is still admired and respected by his former coworkers. He is still addressed by his title by his old colleagues and by his new coworkers
Cowboy Cop: Flat out admits to being one in his youth. He mellowed out over the years.
Da Editor: Although presumably part of a board of senior editors, he is for all intents and purposes the senior editor to talk to.
Expy: He could be seen as a combination of Ant-Man and Mumen Rider.
Gender-Blender Name: Jean-Marie Martel
Happily Married: To Dr. Jocelyn, a member of the Nurse Joy family.
Reasonable Authority Figure: Averting Not Now, Kiddo, he's willing to investigate things reported by young people.
Small Steps Hero: He goes about his business doing citizen arrests for minor crimes on his bike routes as though he hasn't stopped being a cop.
Team Dad: Besides being a father of two himself, he tends to serve as this for a few of his employees, some more so than others.

Jon

Jonathan Halliburton

A senior writer at the Kalos Division who functions as Jean's right hand. In at least two futures he died and became a Rotom.

Awesomeness by Analysis: Although usually kept in the dark about otherwise unexplainable things, when given enough awkward clues in front of him, he can usually figure things out.
Badass Normal: He is an investigative journalist who dances with danger on a regular basis. Fittingly, his team is composed entirely of normal-types.
Came Back Strong: Killed off in at least two timelines (murdered in the line of duty in the Lillifuture) and returns as a Rotom.
Catchphrase: Booya.
Did Not Get the Girl: And is miserable for it.
Fantasy-Forbidding Father: His father Pierre was livid at his career choices, which let him live out his action hero fantasies. He wanted him to be a psychiatrist.
Foil: Became one to Jane regarding the idea of sort-of dating a superhero. He has no idea of Priscilla's secret identity and thus has no frame of reference as to why Priscilla dumped him. A part of him has not moved on from the relationship and desperately wants to restart the relationship, which makes things awkward when Priscilla and him start working together again. Jane handled the whole thing better. Capping it off, he and Jane tried dating not knowing they shared this predicament, but predictably nothing came of it.
Foreign Cuss Word: His go-to swear is tabarnak, from [Quebec French].
Gratuitous Foreign Language: [Canadian English], [Quebec French], and [Huron].
Heroic Wannabe: Likes to think of himself as an action hero and has gotten into dangerous situations because of it. In at least one universe, it actually kills him.
Intrepid Reporter: Enough of one to be a hazard.
The Main Characters Do Every Thing: The go-to NPC for most Geographic Society Kalos shenanigans. He even has a character arc.
Missing Mom: His mother died some time before the present.
Sir Swears-a-Lot: Curses mainly in [Quebec French] invectives. In an alternate future, he's a lot less inclined to do so.
Totally Radical: He listens to Despacito and other 2010s music, which carried over long after he was dead in some timelines.
Red-Headed Hero: A ginger goodie-two-shoes action-adventurer wannabe.
Robot Buddy: He has one in the form of Walter, a Porygon2 that inhabits his phone. He technically becomes one to Dave in at least two timelines.
Second Love: Priscilla's second long-term relationship after Jake Hoffman died. Her worrying about his continued safety is why they are no longer together.
Unfazed Everyman: Although curious to the same level as Shutter, he is not typically intimidated by what he encounters and can be passive aggressive around a Macraul.

Walter the Porygon2

Playful Hacker: Assists Jon in this capacity.
Servile Snarker: Jon's sarcastic assistant.

Hank Harvey

Hank Habakkuk Harvey

The editor-in-chief and line producer for the Unovan division of the Geographic Society.

Beware the Superman: He's made an entire career of criticizing the very concept of superheroes.
Da Editor: For GeoSoc—Unova
Expy: Of J. Jonah Jameson from Spider-Man and heavily resembling J. K. Simmons' version of the character. He fulfills much of the same role but lacks the irrational sensationalism of his counterpart. Like J. Jonah, his son is also involved with a space agency. The resemblance ends there.
Expy Coexistence: He's J. Jonah in a world where the Spider-Man franchise exists.
First-Name Ultimatum: His wife is quick to mention his full first name, Heinrich, when she spots him screwing up.
Good Is Not Nice: He is not a true villain and while adversarial toward Arachna-Guy (and superheroes in general) is firmly a good person who believes in integrity and honesty.
Insult Backfire: It's pretty hard to insult him via the subtle route because Sarcasm Blindness will make him parse or spin jabs as unironic complements.
Intrepid Reporter: Was once this in his youth and commands a fleet of them.
Jerkass: An insensitive and blustering boor of a boss. He doesn't seem to treat Tommy all that fairly, either, as himself or Arachna-Guy.
Henpecked Husband: Is obedient and subservient to his wife. He also tends to criticize Jean for seemingly being this.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Full of bluster and antagonism, especially toward Arachna-Guy, which stems from legitimate complaints about superheroes. Despite his abrasiveness and unpleasant demeanor, nobody can deny that his journalistic integrity is unwavering.
Papa Wolf: Very protective of his daughter Jane Stacy and disapproves of her dating Tommy Petersen.
Remember the New Guy?: Retroactively had covered the earlier backstory events of the RP as part of his expansive bibliography.
Sarcasm-Blind: It is unknown whether it's because of egotism or Snark-to-Snark Combat but he has issues identifying when someone's being sarcastic towards him.
So Proud of You: He likes to boast about his children's achievements, even if they're known to butt heads often.
The Friend No One Likes: Not a lot of the senior editors are especially fond of him.

Newsreel the Gengar

Hank's main pokémon.

Reasonable Authority Figure: Takes on this role. He usually heads meetings for Geo Soc pokémon the same way his trainer holds meetings for human employees of the Society.

Flash

Penelope "Flash" Grant

Hank Harvey's secretary, an animation student and painter who doubles as one of the artists for Geographic Society Magazine. Currently dating Shutter.

Expy: Of Betty Brant from Spider-Man.
Has a Type: Dorks. Prior to her dating Shutter, she had a massive unrequited crush on Tommy.
Hypercompetent Sidekick: She can coordinate coverage events and their complex logistics at the drop of a hat.
Proud to Be a Geek: She has an unabashed love for science fiction and any real-world technology that makes it real.
Why Do You Keep Changing Jobs?: Her insistence on going through animation school on her own steam means that she's taken on several jobs for the Geographic Society since she came on board. Currently, she's a field researcher.

Jane Stacy

Hank's daughter and an occasional contributor to the Geographer Weekly, and an off-[Broadway] actor. Tommy's on again, off again sort-of love interest.

Action Girl: She doesn't need to act to be one, and is capable of holding her own in a fight.
Bratty Teenage Daughter: Downplayed. She doesn't obey her overbearing, strong-willed father. It helps that her mother happens to be one of the few who can keep Hank on a leash.
Expy: Of Mary Jane Watson, mixed with Michelle Jones and just a dash of Gwen Stacy.
Foil: One to Jon, as far as "civilian sorta-kinda dating a superhero" goes. She knows Tommy's secret other job and is cordial with him. She understands the reasons why the breakup happened and is prepared to not let that stand in the way of restarting the relationship, but she showed no signs of dwelling on it prior. All of which Jon has failed to do. Tellingly, they tried dating and nothing came of it.
Friendless Background: She had a difficult time making friends as a child, and her Pokémon were for a time her only friends.
Geeky Turn-On: Heavily implied to be into Tommy for being a good-natured awkward nerd.
Like Father, Unlike Son: Or rather, Unlike Daughter. Her opinion column heavily runs contrary to her father's. She is also in favor of superheroes, which may or may not be related to her having been in a relationship with one.
Ms. Fanservice: A very attractive young woman.
Secret-Keeper: Knows about Tommy's other job and is very supportive of it.
Soapbox Sadie: Not unlike her dad, she is very outspoken about her opinions and beliefs and tries to make a convincing case for them.
Understanding Boyfriend: Or rather, Girlfriend. She figured out why Tommy broke up with her the first time around and is quick to understand. That said, she still calls him out on pushing those dearest to him away in a vain attempt to protect them.
Will They or Won't They?: For a time, it was left ambiguous on whether she and Tommy ever formally got back together, and most people didn't exactly buy it when they first broke up. Currently, they've admitted that they have resumed their relationship.

Upton

Upton Braun

A new guy, a former gofer turned field reporter. Actually a glitchy biotech experiment from another timeline, specifically a Pokefutures experiment focused on cloning Zapdos. His story involved suspending said tissue on a matrix formed from two human cell lines.

Artificial Human: A biotech experiment by Pokefutures in a different timeline.
Atrocious Alias: Taser-man, as given to him by a bunch of Hunter's Guild operatives who tried to rob him.
Becoming the Mask: He seems rather content with his new life in the OTL for now. His actual name is Adonis, but he heavily prefers his civilian alias.
Berserk Button: Downplayed. Describing him as a glitch deeply offends and angers him, in no small part because it was used by Pokefutures to dehumanize him.
Big Eater: He often is seen consuming absurd amounts of food and has come into conflict with other characters for eating their food repeatedly.
Clark Kenting: Tries to pass as normal by being a nerd.
Dead Alternate Counterpart: Inverted. His main timeline's counterpart is the Adonis, a Pokefutures cybernetic construct formed by grafting Zapdos clone tissue on a robotic frame, which was destroyed by the Aurabolts. He ends up seeing his alternate self's dessicated remains in the Orrean desert.
Foil: To Dave Riley. Both are Orrens of mixed ancestry who are subject to Not Quite Human and come from different future timelines and who are giftedly bad at hiding their true self from others. While Dave is genetically wholly human, he feels dehumanized by his cybernetic parts. Upton is a chimera who struggles with his base nature and wants to fit in. Dave is also an overzealous grunt for an authoritarian dystopian regime, while Upton grew up trying to fight one. Finally, Upton has very little in the way of hiding his glitching from anyone and just lies his way through, while Dave could pass as a person with disabilities and only got outed by talking to the wrong person. Dave hates his father; Upton wants to be loved by his.
Gadgeteer Genius: Inherited the mechanical acumen of one of his human genetic templates.
Half-Human Hybrid: A cellular chimera formed from suspending cloned Zapdos cells in a human matrix.
I Hate Past Me: Of a sort. He wasn't too happy about his fate or purpose in this timeline.
La Résistance: Was a member of this in his home timeline.
Mirror Character: As an alternate universe's take on the Adonis project, he is one to the version that exists in the mainline WAAPTverse:
- The [Future Series=] Adonis is in essence a Meatsack Robot; it has no central nervous system and is controlled externally by a robot and no capacity to have a will of its own. The main timeline's Dr. Braun (and at one point Murphy the Porygon) wanted to possess it specifically because it lacked a consciousness. Upton has his own independent will and thus his own identity. As Phineas puts it, even if the mainline Adonis had a face (and it probably didn't), it would not resemble Upton's very human one.
- The Adonis of the mainline universe is for all intents and purposes a true clone, albeit in a tissue-culture sense. Upton, a full organism, is a chimera of cellular lines derived from 2 human beings and a Zapdos.
- The Adonis, for all its putative power, had a kill switch. While Upton might be ultimately be mortal, he has no kill switch otherwise and is capable of defending himself. Not that he would need to, as the Aurabolts have no intention of offing him the way they did with the Adonis.
- Perhaps because of the existence of Mewtwo in the mainline verse and its adjacent continuities, the tissues of the mainline Adonis doesn't display the glitching associated with Upton.
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: His name and those of his team bar Phineas are derived from Canaanite mythology. Adonis is derived from a title meaning "lord", most commonly referring to a Hellenized version of the god Tammuz.
Ominous Visual Glitch: A byproduct of his origins. As a clone of a legendary, he is prone to glitching, and it manifests in visual flickering of reality as it warps slightly around him. It is usually noticeable around his shoulders.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Turning out to be Tommy's, due to his tendency to eat the latter's lunch at the office.
Two-Donor Clone: Three, actually. Within his body are the cellular lines of two human beings and a zapdos.
"Well Done, Son" Guy: Wants to win the recognition of his genetic donor.

Phineas the Rotom

Alternate Self: An alternate universe's version of the Dr. Braun
Dead Alternate Counterpart: Double Subverted. He is the dead alternate counterpart of a recently dead villain.
Gadgeteer Genius: Besides being a geneticist, he is also a skilled engineer and mechanic. He's not Herr Doktor for nothing.
Heel–Face Turn: How he became the good counterpart to this timeline's Dr. Braun.
My Death Is Only The Beginning: Upon his change of heart, he attempted to sabotage Pokefutures and free the Adonis project. He did not let getting murdered stop him.
Parents as People: Upton, the product of his experiments and cloned partly from his DNA, considers Phineas his father. Phineas does not reciprocate these sentiments, though he clearly cares for his trainer all the same.
That Thing Is Not My Child!: Downplayed with his attitude toward Upton, who he considers a trainer, a partner, and a friend but not his child.
Robot Buddy: He sees himself as this toward Upton than a father.

Baal the Zoroark

Casanova Wannabe: He does not see being a cyborg to be any impediment toward flirting and trying to mate with other pokémon.
Cyborg: Was subject to painful "augmentation" and mutilation, like most of Upton's team prior to their escape.
Deadpan Snarker: He likes to snark at his trainer and (especially) at Phineas.
Master of Illusion / Voluntary Shape Shifter: He's a Zoroark; it comes with the territory.
Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Named for Ba'al, a title given to various tutelary deities in Canaanite Mythology, most famously the storm god Ba'al Hadad and Ba'al Hammon of Carthage.
Talking Pokémon: He uses his illusion powers to give the impression that he is speaking to humans in a human language they understand. He calls this legitimate talking; Phineas, who uses a translator program, calls this cheating.

The Tommies

A trio of similarly named coworkers in the Geographic Society's head office in Castelia. Their first names are all Thomas and their surnames are Petersen, Peterson, and Pearson. For Andy Petersen's tropes, see We Are All Pokemon Trainers Alternate.

As a whole

Big, Thin, Short Trio: Played with. Adrian ("short") is rotund and short, Anthony ("big") is lanky and tall, and Andy ("thin") appears lean and is of moderate height.
Middle Name Basis: The group have the same first name and initials and similar sounding surnames. Thus, they largely differentiate between themselves by their middle names. Played With in that all three of them much prefer their first names and insist on being called that in the absence of all the others.
Those Two Guys: In the absence of one, the others are like this (mostly Adrian and Anthony).

Thomas Anthony Peterson

A Geographic Society art department 3D modeler. Goes by Anthony, but used to and still prefers his old nickname Tom.

The Big Guy: The tallest member of the group.
Kindhearted Cat Lover: He's quite pleasant and friendly and his Pokémon are all catmons.
In-Series Nickname: Prefers to call himself Tom or Tommy, but goes by Anthony around the other Tommies.
Noodle People: He is very tall and gangly, especially when compared with his companions.
Patriotic Fervor: Heavily identifies with his Kantonian heritage.
Western Samurai: Bought a full set of Samurai armor that he wears whenever he feels like it. He's Kantonian on his mother's side, but has the very Western given name and surname of his father.

Thomas Adrian Pearson

A digital chart artist from the Geographic Society art department.

Happily Married: To his husband Lars.
In-Series Nickname: His pet name is Tom-Tom. Goes by Adrian when around the Tommies.

Team Signal

A Lillifuture-based resistance organization focused on hijacking propaganda feeds by the Interpol Authority and broadcasting and distributing counterpropaganda in its stead. Its members are collectively called the Signaljammers.

In General

Holographic Disguise: Some members use them to evade the IDPD by hiding into crowds. Goober, a time traveling member, also uses them to blend in with early 21st Century crowds to avoid attracting unwanted attention from the locals.
Meaningful Name: Team Signal patterns itself after the J-Team and stylizes themselves as its successors. They also hijack propaganda screeds and spread anti-Authority counterpropaganda.
Theme Naming: They draw most of their code names from media production terms.
Vehicular Turnabout: How they get their wonderful toys amounts to this:
- They use similar shunter technology as the IDPD to go back in time and broadcast video of the J-Team doing heroic things.
- Thanks to infiltrating folks on the inside and a timely defection from a frustrated Authority captain, they have seized effective control of a (mostly) shiny new capital ship after the IDPD's attempted occupation of Santa's workshop.
Spiritual Successor: Tries to be one for the J-Team, which its members looks up to. Indeed, much of their counterpropaganda involves reminding people that heroes like the J-Team were a thing once.
Voice of the Resistance: Their entire schtick. They co-opt and sabotage Authority propaganda feeds and broadcast counterpropaganda based on truths in these same channels.

Goober

Goober (Stanford Kenneth Petersen)

A charismatic Team Signal operative who acts as the face of the organization's propaganda hijacking. Secretly the librarian Stanford Petersen, son of Tommy Petersen.

Big Brother Instinct: Inverted; he constantly worries for his older brother Junior's safety due to the latter's tendency to agitate the Interpol Authority at close quarters.
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Suffers from this among his family as a civilian. While his brother Tommy Petersen Jr. gets heaps of adulation and admiration as the brave, heroic-looking journalist who takes on the Interpol Authority openly, the most he gets is Loves My Alter Ego. His brother in particular is disappointed that the most he musters to do is fear for the well-being of his books rather than anything more concrete against the authority.
Embarrassing Nickname: A Goober is a reference to a silly foolish person and to peanuts.
Fake Brit: In-universe. As far as everyone in the general public knows, Goober sounds unmistakably Galarian (Pokeverse English). His civilian identity was born and raised in Unova.
Generation Xerox: Personality-wise, he's more like his father than Junior is, a do-gooder who hides in the shadows and while loved by the populace is hated by prominent figures of the press.
- Stanford must hide his actions against the Authority while Junior openly gets praised for doing so in public.
- Stanford and OU Tommy differ in how they handle their secret double lives. Tommy adapted rather well after a shaky start and his well on his way to becoming The Ace, while Stanford continues to fumble and suffer the challenges of balancing his double life.
- Tommy Senior and Junior fight within the confines of the law as a superhero and as a journalist, respectively. Stanford decided long ago that in the Lillifuture, justice can only come from outside the law.
- Stanford hates Dave's artificial guts due to the latter being an Interpol Authority grunt. His father and brother see Dave as a part of the family who must be redeemed.
Former Teen Rebel: Played with. He used to be known as a wayward child, which contrasted him with the more dutiful Junior. While he's since embraced his family's values, he stops short of being open about them.
Hero-Worshipper: To his universe's J-Team (long-disbanded) and Arachna-Guy (long thought to have died). His devotion to what the J-Team and its predecessors believed in brought him to Team Signal to restore the kind of heroism that was lost in his world.
Mask of Confidence: Goober always hides much of his face and talks with a very stern commanding Galarian when donning his regular identity.
Wig, Dress, Accent: His entire disguise comprises a utilitarian paramilitary outfit with a face mask and shades, a hat, a blond wig, and an over-the-top Galarian accent.

Chroma

Chroma (Captain Gaspard Macraul)

An alternate version of Gaspard, formerly captain of an Authority Capital Ship, the Carrey. For more on what he was like as a child and teen in the original timeline, see We Are All Pokémon Trainers: Independent Villains.

Defector from Decadence: He's Paul Macraul's youngest son and is thus a scion of a noble family emnitous to the J-Team on top of being The Captain of a prized cruiser belonging to a corrupt, repressive Police State. He abandons both positions of privilege to join the J-Team's successors.
The Good Captain: An honorable man concerned with the safety of those under his command (and any civilian passengers they brought along with them), he already had what it took to become one. His defection to Team Signal makes him this for real.
Foil: To Charmelle Panelo, his previous immediate superior:
- Charmelle was rather gleeful of using the IDPD to enforce their idea of law and order on Santa's domain, while he had no indications of being anything but just following orders.
- Charmelle was overbearing, demanding and didn't value the lives and wellbeing of those under her. Chroma, meanwhile, was a full-on Reasonable Authority Figure focused on the safety of everyone on board.
- Fittingly, while Charmelle was willing to continue pushing through when Team Signal gained the upper hand, the captain decided that enough was enough.
Going Down with the Ship: Averted; the Carrey was taken over by Team Signal and their J-Team allies from the past, and he remains in charge specifically to ensure the evacuation of his subordinates. Of course, Team Signal has no intention of sinking the ship with him on it, and he and a few crew members defected.
Know When to Fold Them: His defection had shades of this. Things were going pear-shaped and his commanding officer had refused his demands to coordinate a tactical evacuation, retreat, or surrender, putting them all in a perilous situation.
Ironic Nickname: His appellation is from a Chroma Key, a film and television term for filming actors behind a colored background to make inserting a new one (often computer-generated) easier in post production. Team Signal has been known to expose its extensive use in his former employers' propaganda machine.
Rage Quit: After seeing the lengths of incompetence the IDPD and the Authority were reduced to (up until being willing to sink a ship with personnel in it because it was taken over by Team Signal), he had a change of heart and defected.

The Voice

A pirate radio announcer who hijacks Authority transmissions.

Catchphrase: Brother what's my name?
Voice of the Resistance: One of the more recognizable and literal versions. Their appearances are chiefly audio transmissions and interruptions.

Family Members and Relatives

Characters who are related to player characters — and their Pokémon — that don't belong to any other category.

Abilene's Relatives

For the rest of the Macraul Family, see We Are All Pokémon Trainers: Independent Villains.

Darrin and Henri

Abilene's brothers, part of a set of identical triplets.

Rags to Riches: The Macraul triplets lost their fortune some time between their father's expulsion from the family and his death. Some time after that, they've become rich haughty nobles again.
Sibling Seniority Squabble: Abilene and her brothers have been known to argue about who happens to be the oldest. Each one believes it to be them, but as they deign to admit, there's no real way of proving it.
Twin Banter: Judging from her interactions with her brothers, they frequently snark and rib at each other, making them the triplet version of this.
Two Guys and a Girl: Collectively, the siblings avert Same-Sex Triplets by virtue of Abilene being transgender.

Lou

Louis Macraul

A Gruber cab driver from Galar, an older child of Paul and Anna Macraul. He collects computer viruses and [Funko pops].

Antagonistic Offspring: He and his parents do not get along and the latter only tolerate him because his brother needed a legal guardian who was a blood relative.
Collector of the Strange: He has a virus aquarium comprising various rogue porygons as well as a collection of beady-eyed pop culture dolls. They may be mundane, but they sure look strange.
Fauxreigner: Speaks with a very spot-on Angelan (WAAPTverse Southern Californian]) accent, although he is actually Kalosian (Pokéverse French).
It's Pronounced "Tro-PAY": Despite being Kalosian (Pokéverse French), his name is pronounced the way it would be in Galarian (Pokéverse English). Deliberately done on his part to distance himself from his family and his heritage.
Morality Pet: He's trying to be this for his brother Gaspard. Given how much less of a jerk Gaspard has become over the past few years, it appears to be working.
Riches to Rags: And back again. He was originally disinherited by his parents for not being as evil as them, and was then hired by the Tronci Car Company due in no small part to his surname.
Shout-Out: His preoccupation with porygon-lines and his habit of wearing his sunglasses on his head recalls a Digimon goggle boy.
White Sheep: He ended up nothing at all like either of his villainous parents, and was cast out of the family for it.

The Virus Aquarium

Louis' collection comprises a collection of especially virulent reality-warping malware porygon-line Pokémon. Lou likely spent a considerable amount of money containing them.

Fantastic Nature Preserve: What it essentially is. While Otis treats it as little more than a a swanky prison, Herbie and other residents think it's a comfortable home.
Shout-Out: To a similar concept in xkcd.

Herbie

A glitchy Porygon2 and once an infamous computer virus. He was eventually contained and found his way into Lou's virus aquarium.

Defeat Means Friendship: Captured by Louis Macraul and contained in a virus aquarium. Since then, he's been one of Lou's closest confidantes.
Expy: It's all but outright stated that he is the WAAPT equivalent of the real-world iloveu virus with traits to match:
- His name is based on Herbie, the Volkswagen Beetle from The Love Bug, which was the source of the epithet used to describe the iloveu virus.
- He occasionally mentions that his mere existence basically ruined the life of his "father", the same fate that befell the real-world creator of the bug.
- When he's transformed into a human during April Fool's, he is described specifically as PokéVerse [Filipino], the same nationality as the bug's creator.
Heel Realization: Not too proud of his past as a particularly nasty piece of malware.
Monster Roommate: Glitches are reality-breaking eldritch abominations and he happens to be one made of software, making his previous rampage quite a panic-inducing event. He now lives peacefully in an eccentric collector's computer networks and is chums with him.
Nice Guy: He presents an affable, chill personality and is nothing but obedient, helpful, and friendly to his trainer/captor.

Otis

Another dangerous glitch Porygon-Z that manifests as malware. Otis doesn't seem to be from this world. He was originally a universally displaced Myotismon from a Digimon Adventure-type universe. Lou largely keeps him under control.

Affably Evil: Downplayed. He does next to nothing to hide his true self, but is not more difficult to get along with than the other porygon.
Aristocrats Are Evil: An Evil Overlord in his home reality and has not forgotten it. He grumbles that Lou isn't this, too.
Brought Down to Badass: His nature as an immortal and extremely powerful vampire creature in the digital world was all but erased when he was brought over to this specific Pokémon world. He turned into the Pokeverse's indigenous living computer program, albeit one that's a powerful glitch.
Crossover: He is a Digimon in a Pokémon world.
Line-of-Sight Name: Myotismon.
Retired Monster: Appears to have all but given up on laying waste to the WAAPT Pokémon world the same way he attempted to do with his previous one, but that doesn't mean he's turned good exactly.
Tom the Dark Lord: He's an exiled being of immense power given the nickname 'Otis'.

Channah's Relatives

Garrett

An accomplished Ace Trainer with several Championships under his belt, and Channah's weird older brother.

Bad People Abuse Animals: Garrett drives his team to their absolute limits as though he's competitively metagaming and not raising real creatures, which has horrendous effects on their mental well-being.
Big Brother Instinct: Is paranoid enough about his sister's safety to assign a giant mob of Wobbuffet to her protection and hunt down a serial killer thought to be dead, although both backfire to varying degrees. In the second case, Garrett's attempt to kill Ira just got him trapped in his Otherworld.
The Gadfly: Likes to mess with his family for fun.
Politically Incorrect Hero: He's quite opinionated in not-exactly politically correct ways, such as his belief that Trainers being friends with their Pokémon holds them back, and can have an offensive sense of humor, while still being nominally good-aligned.
Reasonable Authority Figure: In Channah's life, which might explain some things.
Sacrificial Lion: In The Room miniplot he seemingly dies as a result of Ira. He gets better, though.

Daydre's Relatives

Aislinn

Aislinn Yeh

A competitor in the Galar League and also Daydre's distant cousin.

Badass Normal: She's not an Auric like her cousin but is definitely the better fighter, and manages to hold her own for a bit against the Auric Ynos and the Yasmask horde before getting overwhelmed and needing to be helped out by J-Teamers. In fact it's an advantage when it comes to guarding the mask, as its corrupting effects only work on Aurics.
Disappeared Dad: Aislinn's father left her and her mother due to the dangers involved with keeping the mask.
Girly Bruiser: Likes dressing in pastels, will stab you with a knife.
Hidden Disdain Reveal: During the Neo-Sinnoh Arc she reveals that she has a bit of resentment towards Daydre for in her eyes having an easier life than she has due to her side of the family not having to guard the mask.
Muggle Born of Mages: While Aislinn and Daydre's shared ancestor Luo Ya is implied to have been an Obscuric, Aislinn's side of the family hasn't had an Auric member in generations, and she's no different.
Scars Are Forever: Gains a scar across her face after getting hit by a chunk of ice during Whitt's raid on Artazon.
You Killed My Father: Hates Morata Macraul for her part in her mother's death.

Aveline Yeh

Aislinn's deceased mother and the previous bearer of the Oracle Mask.

Muggle Born of Mages: A non-Aura sensitive descended from the Obscuric Luo-Ya.
Posthumous Character: She's been dead for around a decade by the time of the Galar Arc, with what we learn about her coming primarily from Aislinn and Ynos.

Luo-Ya

A distant ancestor of Daydre and Aislinn's who lived during the first Warring States period of [China], and the creator of the Oracle Mask.

Casting a Shadow: She was a Dark Obscuric.
Strong Family Resemblance: Downplayed, she does resemble both Daydre and Aislinn, but it's muted by roughly 2,000 years of genetic drift.
Posthumous Character: She's been dead for around two millennia, but her actions loom large over her descendants Daydre and Aislinn.
They Look Just Like Everyone Else!: The narrative notes that for all the trouble her actions ended up bringing her descendants, the vision Daydre sees of her is of a very ordinary looking woman.
Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Her desire for her partner back led to quite a bit of suffering for her descendants.

Kai's Relatives

Ivy

Ivory "Ivy" Ellen Amarin

The mother of Sarah and Alli Amarin, and a formerly-reigning Sinnoh Champion back in 1987. She was killed by a Toxicroak in February 2007 before coming back as a Delta Golurk six years later.

Action Mom: Was a very talented battler before mostly settling down after having kids. Returned to action after coming back from the dead.
Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Was given the title of Champion by defeating the retiring Champion Weston.
Rank Scales with Asskicking: A former Champion of Sinnoh, and the Toa of Iron on Insula Nui, who happens to be a skilled Trainer and warrior.
Back from the Dead: Became a Delta Golurk after dying.
Badass Family: She, her kids, ex-husband, and Identical Ancestors all form a family of skilled Trainers and fighters.
Extra-ore-dinary: Is a Steel-monotype trainer as well as a Steel-type Delta Golurk after coming back to life.
Ghost Amnesia: Forgot her entire identity after coming back as a Delta Golett, and believed that was all she was until her memory was sparked by Eskay almost dying the same way she was killed.
Irony: Ellen died via poison, something her signature type (Steel) is immune to.
I Have Many Names: Ivy, Ellen, the Iron Maiden, the Undead Champion, the Impossible Champion, the Toa of Iron
Maiden Name Debate: Retained the name "Amarin" even after marrying and divorcing Dylan.
Mama Bear: Takes out a Toxicroak who almost murders her son.
Meaningful Rename: Started going by her middle name after coming back from the dead, because "Ellen" is so much less non-indicative than "Ivy."
Missing Mom: Was killed by a Toxicroak before the events of the RP.
Older Than They Look: When she died at age 35, she looked about five years younger than she was, due to being a descendant of Lina. Now that she's back from the dead, her Night Shade Illusion of her pre-death self is locked this way.
One-Letter Name: As with her family, her name is a phonetic pronunciation of two letters. Uniquely, this applies to her middle name as well: I-V L-N M-R-N.
Optional Boss: An odd non-video-game example; she's open to any J-Team members battling her as a sort of Self-Imposed Challenge, but rarely actively seeks them.
Retired Badass: She passed on her job as Champion to another, but her team remains just as powerful as before.
Shout-Out: Became the Toa of Iron on Insula Nui, an island of Delta Golett Line members.
Soul Power: Was a Ghost Obscuric in life, though she never seriously looked into training herself as she never saw much use in it.

Pallad the Shiny Metagross

Ellen's Metagross, her starter and star team member.

Life Meter: As a testament to his power and age, his appearance in battle is usually accompanied by this, contrasting him from others whose health is described through guesstimated terms. Even though other characters may be stronger, the Life Meter remains Pallad's staple.
Optional Boss: Like his trainer, he is an odd non-video-game example. Jacob took the challenge of beating him in Unova-2, but lost at the time.

Rex's Relatives

Holly Hunter

Team: (Knuckle) Joe the Hitmontop, Orchid the Nidoqueen, and Dash the Zebstrika

The mother of Rex Hunter, a former Battle Girl.

Action Mom: She is known to occasionally beat up poachers.
Bare-Fisted Monk: Used to be a Gym Trainer for the Karate King (ie. A Fighting-type specialist) before Sabrina took over.
Creature of Habit: Tends to spend most of her days walking in the park with her Pokemon, exercising, read a novel, and hang around the Department Store on big sale days.
Suddenly Fluent in Gibberish: Capable of understanding Monese and Lapin, though she's a little rusty in the case of the latter.
Teen Pregnancy: Downplayed, she was only 19 when Rex was born.

Shutter's Relatives

Reynard

Reynard "Rinaldo" Albright

Shutter's 91-year old paternal grandfather, an elderly adventurer and former chocolate factory engineer.

Cool Old Guy: Since he became semi-retired, he took up a PhD in marine biology and became a chocolate sculptor. On top of that, he eventually unwittingly joins the J-Team.
Hypocrisy Nod: He disapproved of his son being part of a world-saving informal hero team in the 1980s but later becomes part of one in the 2010s. When Ritchie brings this up, he flat out acknowledges the irony of this turn of events.
The Lost Lenore: His wife's death left him in a funk that took him a while to recover from.
Parental Substitute: Because his son and daughter-in-law were always away, he and his wife raised their two grandchildren themselves.
Team Dad: The role he takes in the J-Team whenever he's in on their adventures in generally being the surrogate grandparent the much younger adventurers can lean on.

Ritchie and Rachel

Richard and Rachel Albright

Shutter's mostly estranged parents, engineers who spent the latter half of their lives dismantling the flying palace of Lawrence III.

Daddy Didn't Show: Part of the reason why Shutter had trouble with his folks is that they made a habit of bailing on him during key life events, which made him felt unwanted. Their attempts to remind their son that he wasn't unloved by buying him expensive gifts just made things worse. They bailed so many times that his reaction to them showing up is utter disbelief.
Disneyland Dad: They repeatedly attempt to win back Shutter's affection by giving him generous gifts, usually electronics, whenever they needed to bail on one of his crucial life moments; this has actually not only accelerated the decay of their relationship (in that Shutter expects them to bail if he sees something pricey on his doorstep) but also led to resentment from their other son Galen, who sees this as parental favoritism.
Married to the Job: Averted when it came to their actual marriage (so far it's remained healthy, mainly because they worked in the same company) but it is played straight in how it affected their sons' lives. This was never intentional on their part, as the job of dismantling the flying palace was delayed and complicated repeatedly by events taking place in the Orange Islands in the intervening period.
Parental Favoritism: Averted since they loved their children equally (yet ended up neglecting them both). They did not escape the accusations of this from both kids.
- Their careers started winding down at around the time they had Galen, thus they were able to spend more time with him than they ever did with Shutter. Subsequently, Shutter felt like the unwanted older child being shafted in favor of the baby.
- Shutter, who they couldn't commit to being around with as much, received flashy expensive gifts for no reason, while Galen felt that he needed to earn similar gifts by being a top-performing student at school. Given that Shutter bullied him as a child, Galen came to the conclusion that the eldest child is being rewarded for bad behavior.
Parental Neglect: If there was anything that the Albright brothers agreed on was that their parents were seldom around when they needed them. While the job of dismantling the palace paid well, it came with the price of them not being able to see their kids often.

Tropes that apply solely to Ritchie

And This Is for...: During the final ceremonial sinking of the last large pieces of Lawrence III's flying palace, he was assigned to do the honor of sinking the pieces into the sea. His thoughts focused on how this palace and its owner wronged him, his family, and his people since 1999. On top of the trauma caused by the Millennium Crisis, he also deeply regretted wasting so many of his years dismantling the palace that he failed to see his sons grow up
Hero of Another Story: He was once a member of a J-Team precursor organization and went on many globe-trotting adventures with them, much to his father's disapproval. He later settled down with his girlfriend and had a son.
When You Coming Home, Dad?: A big irony of the life he lived was that he decided that his adventuring days were over so he can spend more time with his new family. Years later, he and his wife found themselves unable to see his own children grow up because his work taking them far away from home.

Galen

Galen Patrick Albright

Shutter's younger brother, an amateur filmmaker who works for the Geo Soc's competitor Contact Communications.

Annoying Younger Sibling: Shutter dismisses him as a meddling twirp with no sense of privacy and boundaries. He in turn sees Shutter as a Big Brother Bully.
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: He expresses what little affection he has toward his actual big brother by showing up as a welcome wagon.
Big Brother Worship: Downplayed, but not for his actual big brother but toward his assistant. Tommy became a sort-of surrogate big brother for him (in the same way that Shutter treats the former as a little brother) and he seeks the former out whenever he needs the kind of support that comes from a big brother.
Grade Skipper: An exaggerated example. He was barely in his late teens when he was about to graduate from university.
Foil:
- He's this to Tommy, both in the context of being Shutter's little brother and outside it..
  - Tommy basically received the kind of mentorship and support Shutter didn't provide his younger brother due to their conflict. Fortunately he was happy to serve this role for Galen.
  - Subsequently, Tommy looks up to Shutter and they both share a profound fraternal friendship. Up until recently, Galen's feelings for his brother have been hostile.
  - Both are very intelligent, but while Tommy directed his intellect toward the hard sciences, Galen directed his toward the arts.
- He's also one to Shutter himself. While both him and Shutter saw themselves as The Unfavorite, they do so for markedly different reasons.
  - Shutter received expensive things each time their parents bailed on him, while Galen had to accomplish something to warrant similar gifts. This made the latter see the former as the favorite.
  - Shutter didn't get a lot of parental attention in his later childhood and teen years, while Galen being much younger at least necessitated some of the attention being brought to him for a while.
  - Despite this, Galen ultimately spent a lot less of his time past his formative years with his parents and kind of grew up accustomed to them being absent for long stretches. Thus, he is blasé toward getting parental attention and due to fermenting resentment kind of decided that he didn't really need them. Perhaps because his wounds weren't as deep, Galen resent his parents a lot less than his brother does (enough for him to continue living with them without issue after they retired).
Forgiven, but Not Forgotten: When push comes to shove, he will forgive family members who wronged him. Nevertheless, he fully admits that healing broken relationships is not an overnight thing for him.
- Shutter made overtures of reconciliation that he accepted due to how thoughtful it turned out to be. But while he admits it was a step in the right direction, as he explains to Tommy, this action does not undo years of accumulated wrongs and other sources of resentment right away.
- This is also implied with his parents. He has explained that he resents them for seemingly favoring their oldest child over him, but seems to remain cordial enough with them enough to still live in their house.
Lost Toy Grievance: A downplayed version as the toy was simply rendered broken and unplayable before its time. Because he was so young when it happened, Galen was absolutely traumatized when his Gligarman action figure was destroyed and his big brother received very little punishment for it. He kept that toy as a reminder of the event (on top of that, he was already very attached to it prior). Shutter sending it to Mr. Parker's family workshop to have it professionally restored marks the first time he's actually shown any on-screen affection for his younger blood sibling.
Shared Family Quirks: They both ended up with a fondness for going behind the camera. Shutter became a nature photographer and documentary filmmaker while Galen became a guerilla filmmaker. They also both resent their parents.
Smart People Wear Glasses: An intelligent young man with vision problems that's addressed through spectacles
Sibling Rivalry: Shutter and him got along so terribly in their youth that one of the former's subordinates got roped into being the middle child sibling they never had.
- The root of their mutual disdain, the "camera incident" involved Shutter reacting disproporionately to Galen breaking his first camera after the latter played with it without his permission. Shutter, in retaliation, deliberately destroyed one of Galen's favorite action figures.
- Since his grandfather had trouble determining an appropriate punishment for Shutter's actions, Galen felt wronged and while he apparently never touched any of his brother's things after that, became even more annoying and obnoxious.
- His parents often promised to give him things as a reward for his accomplishments, but Shutter getting similar gifts as recompense for them bailing led to him concluding that they just liked their oldest son more.
- He eventually became a filmmaker himself (and took an internship at a rival company), which may have been fueled by a desire to one-up his brother.
Teen Genius: He's an incredibly intelligent grade skipper who works as an intern at a major publication and broadcaster geared toward documentaries.

Corkie

Galen's Gogoat.

Extreme Omni-Goat: Galen's go-to attempt at defying someone trying to swindle him with paperwork is to feed the papers to Corkie.

Joven

Joven Albright

Shutter's paternal cousin (eldest son of his father's brother) and the curator of miniatures at the Mesagoza Train Museum. He specializes in flying types.

Mirror Character: To his cousin, in a few superficial ways.
- Both are originally from the Orange Islands whose work brought them overseas. But while Joven is mostly sedentary and seldom travels far from Paldea, Shutter travels a lot.
- Both have a younger, "hipper" Caucasian-looking assistant at their beck and call who is basically their sidekick. Said sidekicks are secretly superheroes.
- They have similar sounding names that kind of rhyme. While Shutter is mostly known by his nickname or surname (and only gets called by his first name by others when they're exasperated), Joven is mostly known by his first name.
- While both lived through the same series of traumatic events, Joven seems less overtly affected by it than Shutter is.
Massive Numbered Siblings: His grandfather Reynard mentions that he has so many granddaughters from his son Norbert that he calls refers to them as the "Amazon horde." Said horde are Joven's sisters.
Pursue the Dream Job: Implied. He currently works in maintaining miniature train exhibits but mentions having worked with ornithologists before.
Rail Enthusiast: He and his assistant like trains.

Sibley the Archeops

One of Joven's main partner Pokémon.

Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: He has been known to wear accessories from time to time. In the train museum's tertulia, he wore a salakot like his trainer.
Named After Someone Famous: After ornithologist Charles Sibley, one of the proponents of the Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy scheme for birds.
Parrot Pet Position: He usually is perched on Joven's shoulders.

Remedios and Fenton

Fenton Grant and Maria Remedios Cabrera-Grant

Shutter's (future) in-laws and the parents of his fiancée Flash. Fenton is an archeologist from Galar while Remedios is a historian from Holon.

Happily Married: In the times they've been shown together, their marriage has all the appearances of a healthy relationship between two loving older adults.
Mirror Character: To Shutter's biological parents:
- In the few times they've been shown together, the Cabrera-Grants have been quite accommodating of Shutter and his family members.
- They were actively supportive of their daughter's endeavors (however varied they were) and were often present for them.
Names The Same: Remedios' family shares a surname with one of Shutter's relatives, while Fenton shares a surname with Silas. Neither are biologically related to those who share their names.

Tommy's Relatives

This is an entry composed of the Petersen-Sanchez family, the family Tommy more or less grew up with, which comprises his aunt, cousin, and cousin's husband.

April

April Petersen (née Kirby)

Tommy's paternal aunt by marriage, who raised him in his youth.

Composite Character: She's this to various incarnations of Aunt May. She's a caring font of grandmotherly wisdom, recalling the Rosemary Harris version from the Spider-Man Trilogy, but noted to be quite attractive like Marisa Tomei's take in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Expy: As Tommy references Peter Parker, Aunt April references Aunt May.
Good Parents: Given how Sara and Tommy turned out, she definitely raised them well.
Granny Classic: She's turning out to be this as she ages, showing a caring personality with the conventional cottagecore accoutrements associated with elderly Western women. Bonus points in that she is an actual grandmother.
House Wife: She hasn't been shown to do much outside of raising children and attending to domestic affairs; most of her income likely came from her late husband and much later her daughter and nephew.
The Lost Lenore: She lost her husband Ken several years ago and the loss still haunts her somewhat.
Open-Minded Parent:
- She's very supportive of Tommy's scientific and superheroic endeavors and allows him to keep a lab in her house's basement, with the only stipulation being that his chemicals are kept away from Miley.
- This extends to her granddaughter. She knows about Miley's powers and is proud of them.
Parental Substitute: She raised Tommy from the moment the latter was orphaned and loved him like a son. Tommy reciprocates the sentiment.

Sara

Sara Petersen-Sanchez

April's daughter and Tommy's first cousin.

Composite Character: References both Teresa Parker (Peter Parker's seldom-referenced sister) and Rio Morales (Miles Morales' mother)
Cool Big Sis: Although she is a cousin, she filled this role as the primary older peer Tommy's had for most of his life
The Dutiful Son: Daughter, in any case, at one point in her life. Not long after the death of her father, she likely took the reins of her family's finances as her then-delinquent cousin was still in high school and her mother wasn't employed. Fortunately, her cousin got his act together not long after.
Foil: She, who is very Happily Married, is this with her cousin in terms of love lives. While she found her True Love and they've been together ever since, Tommy struggled to find a partner for a long time.
In the Blood: Her daughter Miley inherited her powers and is quite naturally skilled with them, hinting that it's her side of the family that had more prominent aura sensitives.
Secret Secret-Keeper: She mentions that she is on the Auric spectrum and likely has the same set of mental powers Tommy has, meaning that she was very likely capable of reading her cousin's mind and knew about the whole superhero thing.
Vitriolic Best Buds: She's no stranger to a mild version of this with her younger cousin. She'll taunt Tommy jokingly for minor inconveniences and have her husband join in.

Sgt. Sanchez

Sgt. Jeff Sanchez

April's son-in-law, Sara's husband, and Miley's father. A police officer of Black [Latino] descent turned law student from Castelia City.

Big Brother Mentor: Tommy's other major version of this, mixed in with Parental Substitute given their age difference. Bonus points in that he's now an actual relative via marriage.
Bodyguard Crush: He was the officer in charge of protecting the Petersen family after Ken was murdered. He later fell in love with the deceased's daughter Sara and eventually got married.
Composite Character: Takes on the role of Jefferson Morales from the Spider-Man franchise but resembles Terry Jeffords both physically and behaviorally.
Gentle Giant: A giant hunk of a man who is a total sweetheart, especially toward his wife, daughter, and in-laws.
Friend on the Force: A member of the Castelia City Police Department and an ardent supporter of Arachna-Guy's activities.
Real Men Wear Pink: He is a traditionally masculine heterosexual cisgender man and no one will doubt this. He also is an unabashed fanboy of Whitney Houston music.
Mirror Character: He tends to be this for Hank Harvey:
- Whereas Hank criticizes superheroes as a concept for their obvious flouting of the rules of law, Jeff appreciates them (and Arachna-Guy in particular) as a means of outside assistance, especially for disrupting more sophisticated criminals that have them outgunned.
- Jeff loves his cousin-in-law like a little brother and generally enjoys his company, while Hank is said to treat Tommy like a chew toy.
Thinks Like a Romance Novel: Or a Romance Movie, in this case. He compares his romance with Sara to a race- and gender-swapped version of the Whitney Houston film The Bodyguard, with him in Kevin Costner's role.
Vitriolic Best Buds: He, like his wife, are a downplayed version of this. He joins his wife in ribbing Tommy whenever the latter encounters a mild or awkward inconvenience.

Cordell the Furfrou

Once a trained police dogmon for the Castelia City Police Department, now retired. He lives with his old partner as a family pet.

Foil: To his own son. While Jakey is immature, impulsive, and generally comes off as Dogs Are Dumb played straight, Cordell is composed, calculating, and stern.
Policeman Dog: He's a canine mon whose partner was a policeman.
Psycho Poodle: Somewhat invoked yet ultimately subverted. Furfrou are based on standard poodles, a breed not always used by law enforcement or security. Cordell being a cop dog seems to lean into the idea that he's capable of serious butt-whoopin' (and he is, if pushed), but he's very well trained and will not do so.

Judge Sanchez

Judge Raymond Sanchez

Sara's father-in-law and Jeff's father, a judge who works in the Unovan court system.

Expy: Based on Captain Raymond Holt from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Intergenerational Friendship: He and Tommy, his daughter-in-law's cousin, get along surprisingly well, in no small part due to the latter's dabbling in investigative journalism.
Stern Old Judge: He does have this appearance if nothing else; he's an elderly and somewhat stern man who works as an impartial representative of the law.

Jakey the Lycanroc

Judge Sanchez's main Pokémon companion. He's also one of Cordell's pups.

Big Friendly Dog: Despite being a Lycanroc, he's far removed from the big bad wolf stereotype and acts more like a domestic puppy.
Dogs Are Dumb: Downplayed. He comes across as stupid due to his youthful impulsiveness and he didn't excel in the doggy academy, but he's not shown to be exceptionally foolish past that.
Foil: Both to his father and his trainer. He's the young inexperienced and fun-loving pet of an old, serious judge.

The Oasis

Chiyo

Chiyo Hoshizawa

A School escapee associated with the Oasis, formerly known under the designation Iridium from the 2001 Class, also known as the New Century Class, and a fugitive from the organization for more than 20 years.

Absurdly Sharp Blade: Her disc constructs can cut through both flesh and metal as if they were air.
Afraid of Needles: Due to the experiments she suffered under Dr. No Heart, Chiyo fears needles, and when she goes to PEFE HQ to have her blood drawn for the cure, she's tightly holding on to Tagg's arm the whole time.
Apologetic Attacker: Apologizes to Francis before killing him with a barrier-induced stroke.
Attack Reflector: Can create barriers that absorb strong blows before sending the force back at the attacker in a way akin to the Reflect line of spells.
Barrier Warrior: She's a Psychic that specializes in the creation of barriers. While they can and often are used as shielding, she also uses them offensively to smash opponents into walls or the ground with or without added spikes, or form disc constructs capable of easily bisecting a man. She can also form tiny barriers inside people to cause major blood vessel blockage, killing a Templar with a stroke, but it requires too much concentration to use in a direct fight.
Beneath the Mask: Sometimes Chiyo's mask slips and it's shown that underneath her bubbly outward demeanor, her inner moroseness over the suffering she's dealt with can match Tagg's.
Beware the Nice Ones: Chiyo is a very nice person, but she's also not the sort of person you'd want to cross, as she's quite willing to use lethal force to defend herself.
Brainy Brunette: She's a dark-haired astronomy nerd who's shown to be pretty introspective.
Burger Fool: Among the jobs she's taken to support herself in the past is a job as a front-server at a Burger Monarch, the setting's equivalent to Burger King. She wasn't particularly fond of it.
The Chosen Many: The first Schoolchild confirmed to have an Attribute, in her case being a Mind of Crystal.
Cool Big Sis: Positions herself in an approachable elder sister role for other truants.
Cosmic Motifs: Has a close association to the stars apart from being into astronomy:
- Her starter Pokémon is a Minior, a Pokémon based on shooting stars, and she transforms into a Star Sweet wearing Rainbow Swirl Alcremie.
- She wears a star-shaped necklace with a rainbow trailing behind it.
- Her main weapon construct when going all out is a meteor hammer.
- Her School designation, Iridium, is a metal most commonly found in meteorites.
- Her surname, Hoshizawa, can be translated from Japanese as "starry marsh".
- She has Stargazer as her Trainer class.
- For the Pokésona-2 Arc based on Persona 5, she's a representative of the Star Arcana as a Confidant.
Cradling Your Kill: Cradles Boron after being forced to mortally wound her in self-defense.
Crazy-Prepared: Has a bug-out bag prepared for if she needs to go on the run from the School immediately.
Dating Catwoman: She shows interest in and has a one-night stand with Maurice, a Templar in the service of Dr. Moreau.
Deadly Forcefield: Her barriers can be used to crush people against walls, her death discs are small barriers with sharp edges, and she can reduce people to ashes by forming barriers around them and increasing the temperature inside.
Deadpan Snarker: She can get very snarky when dealing with murderous Templars, having gotten the better of them so many times that they don't scare her as much as they do other escapees.
Defiant to the End: When things aren't looking great she just glares at her enemies or even does a Spiteful Spit rather than beg or grovel for her life.
The Dreaded: The School agents who aren't too hopped up on arrogance are terrified at the very concept of facing her in a battle.
Epic Flail: A combination attack she has with Dactyl is creating a meteor hammer construct with Dactyl encased inside a flaming barrier serving as the head.
Fiery Sensuality: Chiyo is an attractive woman who does cam modeling and happens to be a psychic with barrier-related pyrokinetic abilities.
Fighting Your Friend: In 2006 she was forced to fight her friend Boron, a Batchmate turned Alumni, and ended up killing her in self-defense.
Fireball Eyeballs: Whenever Chiyo has committed to the possibility of killing someone, her eyes fill with figurative flame.
Foil: Chiyo serves as one to Adelinde the Scythe, being highly physically attractive older School creations with a greater understanding of the world outside of it than their peers, combined with a reputation for deadliness amongst their enemies after rising From Nobody to Nightmare:
- Chiyo is a defense-oriented Barrier Warrior, whereas Adelinde is an offense-oriented user of blade constructs.
- Chiyo brings hope to escapees, whereas Adelinde tries to crush it out of them.
- As a mentor Chiyo tries to bring out a person's unique qualities without having them directly emulate her, whereas Adelinde tends to try to make her proteges as much like her as possible.
- Physically Chiyo is short and on the curvier side, whereas Adelinde is tall and relatively thin with sharper features.
- Chiyo is capable of showing mercy to her enemies for mercy's sake despite her general ruthlessness in a fight, whereas Adelinde is near completely merciless and only takes foes alive when ordered to.
- Both had a close partner who passed prematurely, but while Chiyo is polyamorous and has taken numerous lovers following Curium's death, Adelinde is implied to have treated Cecilia as The Lost Lenore and hasn't felt that way about anyone else since.
- While both dislike how the School does things, Chiyo wants the School gone completely, while Adelinde wishes to essentially take the place of the scientists in the hierarchy.
From Nobody to Nightmare: From someone who used to hide behind her barriers and disliked fighting, to one of the School's most dangerous enemies with at minimum hundreds of dead Templars to her name.
Geek: She's a major astronomy nerd, and likes looking at the stars whenever she has the time.
Girly Bruiser: Chiyo dresses and presents more femininely than the more tomboyish Chloe and Zee, but she's quite capable of scrapping with her fists if need be.
The Gloves Come Off: She only starts using her Fire sub-element in combat when truly pushed, as her basic abilities are already pretty deadly on their own.
Good Bad Girl: Chiyo has no issues with casual sex (Saying that the School didn't make them with a sense of shame where that was concerned), implies that she does cam modeling as a source of income since other methods of work are hard for her to get, and has no issues showing off her body. She's also one of the most good natured people you'll ever meet and very sweet to her friends and lovers.
Good Is Not Soft: Chiyo is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet and is firmly good aligned. Her decades of avoiding the School and fighting off the Templars and Alumni sent after her have also made her very ruthless in a fight, with Chiyo's opponents most often coming out of them either critically injured or dead. That said, she's not incapable of showing mercy and won't kill an opponent in cold blood, as shown when she spares Louise on account of her apparent age and unwillingness to kill an already downed foe, and generally gives her potential enemies the chance to flee before engaging in combat, as for the most part she dislikes killing and hurting people.
Had to Be Sharp: Apart from her skills in combat she's managed to avoid capture or liquidation by Templars for decades by being very smart and constantly moving around.
Hero of Another Story: The main protagonist of the "Chiyo Gaiden" segment of the Galar Arc when Tagg revisits AU Celadon, who spent the past 20 years of her life evading the School's attempts at killing or recapturing her.
Heroic BSoD: Vana's death sends her into a depression spiral that Tagg, Percy, and Nasreen need to help her out of.
Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Chiyo's currently a cam model and has done actual prostitution in the past, and she's one of the nicest, kindest people you'll ever meet.
Hope Bringer: As one of the oldest known surviving Schoolchildren, those escapees who are aware of her tend to look up to her as a symbol of what they can accomplish without the School's influence. It directly contrasts Adelinde being a Hope Crusher for the truants forced to face her.
I Owe You My Life: Is quite grateful to Tagg for saving her life from the School when they were kids and wishes to return the favor one day.
It's Not You, It's My Enemies: Save for her surviving Batchmates, the other members of her Oasis group in general, and Nicky and Kendra in particular, despite her outward friendliness Chiyo has few close relationships due to her fears of the School hurting the people she cares about to get to her. The fact that the couple who took her in was murdered by a Templar drove this home very early on.
Lethal Harmless Powers: On the face of it barriers don't seem that dangerous, but Chiyo sending even her most basic barriers at people is at maximum speed akin to getting getting hit by a car, to say nothing of her incredibly sharp disc constructs being derived from her barriers, and her ability to form barriers inside people's major blood vessels.
Living Is More than Surviving: Decides that actively fighting the School in order to no longer have to worry about them attacking her is better than just avoiding them unless combat is unavoidable as most truants do. It's a major point of contention between her and Chloe prior to her coming around as the latter feels that continuing to survive, even if it's not ideal, is the better method of honoring Gallium's memory than potentially dying pointlessly taking on the School.
Mark of the Supernatural: Has the purple eyes common to School creations and is a psychic.
Meteor-Summoning Attack: One of her most powerful attacks is sending down star shaped Auric constructs at her enemies.
Mix-and-Match Man: She's got the same general School genetic slurry from various sources as other experiments, but her exact phenotype gives her the appearance of someone of mixed Black, East Asian, and Alolan (Read: Polynesian) descent.
Mons as Characterization:
- Chiyo is an astronomy nerd, and therefore all of her Pokémon are either directly related to space or have a space-themed nickname.
- Chiyo as a Schoolchild is someone who isn't meant to live for long, Dactyl as a Minior belongs to a species that quickly dies if their casing is broken. Both have ended up living far longer than they were "supposed" to.
Morphic Resonance: Her Alcremie form keeps her purple eyes despite Chiyo using a Star Sweet as a Milcery to evolve, which normally gives the resulting Alcremie yellow eyes.
Nice Girl: One of the first things you'll notice about Chiyo if she's not in a combat situation is how nice she is, and she's very openly friendly.
One-Man Army: Between her and Dactyl they slaughter hordes of School forces consisting of trained mercenaries, clone soldiers, and enemy Pokémon, on top of numerous Templars. It's to the point that up until the Chiyo Gaiden plot the School had been avoiding her for a while, deeming chasing her a waste of resources due to the amount of people she ends up injuring or killing.
Our Fairies Are Different: Turns into the Fairy-type Alcremie when using an transformation item.
Parental Substitute: Following her Heel–Face Turn, Louise thinks of Chiyo as the closest thing she has to a mother, a feeling Chiyo reciprocates.
Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Chiyo is 5'3" but her fists can send people twice her size reeling, on top of being one of the setting's most dangerous Aurics.
Playing with Fire: She can generate rainbow flames by increasing the temperature of her barriers with telekinesis, giving her a Fire subtype. She can use it for things ranging from heating her tea, increasing the cutting power of her disc constructs, and burning things to cinders in her bubble barriers.
Polyamory: Chiyo's in a quasi-relationship with both Nicky and Kendra.
Psychic Powers: Apart from her use of barriers, Chiyo is a psychic capable of using both Aura Infuse and the Auric Charge, though mostly as secondary techniques when a barrier isn't very useful, and can also use telepathy.
Punny Name: Her first known alias, "Katy Boundree", is a pun on the K-T Boundary, a line of iridium separating the rocks of the Cretaceous from the Paleocene.
Queer Colors: Chiyo, a pansexual School escapee, is capable of generating a rainbow Aura.
Queer Establishing Moment: Chiyo's pansexuality is established in a flashback when she mentions having sexual relations with "men, women, [and] those who are both and neither."
Rainbow Motif:
- Her School designation is Iridium, derived from the Greek goddess Iris, the personification of rainbows.
- Her Aura is a unique rainbow color normally only seen in Aura Vampires. During her battle with actual Aura Vampire Templar Hortensia the Spider, Chiyo mentions in her inner monologue that it has caused her to be mistaken for one in the past.
- Her Pokéform is a Rainbow Swirl Alcremie.
- In terms of the rainbow's relation to luck, Chiyo has survived more than 20 years as a fugitive without getting recaptured or killed, and lacks the age-related issues that often happen to Schoolkids that make it to late adolescence and adulthood.
- Her template is derived from Clan Anuenue, "anuenue" being the Hawaiian word for "rainbow."
Really Gets Around: Has no real issues with casual sex, with Tagg coming with food only to find her having finished having offscreen sex with both a man and his girlfriend.
Really Moves Around: Being a fugitive means spending a lot of time moving from place to place.
"Rediscovering Roots" Trip: While Chiyo is of Native Alolan descent and was decanted in Alola, she wasn't aware of the former for most of her life and after escaping the Poni facility saw very little of the region before escaping to Kanto and spending more than two decades giving Alola a wide berth out of fear of recapture. After she discovers her heritage as a scion of Clan Anuenue, following revisiting the Poni facility she decides to undertake the Island Challenge to connect better to the region and by extension her Alolan roots.
Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: Due to being a Mind, she can remember the AU and can perceive timeline changes.
Roaring Rampage of Rescue: After the School kidnaps her quasi-girlfriends Nicky and Kendra, Chiyo with the help of some of Tagg's mons raids the flying train they're being kept in and decimates everyone in her path, including two Templars with very dangerous abilities.
Speaks Fluent Animal: Knows Monese as a result of getting transformed into a Milcery upon entering PMD-A sometime prior to the Galar Arc.
Spider-Sense: Is implied to have an ability similar to Detect that informs her of potential danger and lets her quickly evade attacks aimed at her.
Star Power: Full use of her powers has her discs turn into stars capable of exploding into rainbow flame upon impact with an opponent.
Stellar Name: Her surname, Hoshizawa, can be translated as "starry marsh".
Stepford Smiler: While rarely outright dishonest, Chiyo is known to hide her true emotions behind smiles that don't always reach her eyes.
Suddenly Ethnicity: While Chiyo still held an interest in the islands in which she was decanted, she doesn't learn that she's part of Clan Anuenue, and by extension Native Alolan with blood ties to the region, until Dr. No Heart reveals it to her.
Super Prototype: Chiyo is of the standard Schoolchild line, but has the power and skill to match and kill the Templars she's supposed to be inferior to. For this reason, the School wishes to recover her genetic information in order to make better Templars. Chiyo is aware of this, which is why her wishes upon death are to be cremated to deny the School any chance of obtaining her genetic material.
Teleportation with Drawbacks: She can teleport between locations by opening rifts using her barriers, a trick she picked up thanks to Nicky and Kendra's help. She's a pretty strong teleporter, as she can teleport between Galar and Unova without getting winded. However, she can only use it for long distance travel, and not in active combat like a Xatu can.
Took a Level in Badass: According to her Batchmates, back when they were still under the School's thumb Chiyo had no real inclination for fighting and during spars would simply curl up and hide behind her barriers until her opponents just collapsed from exhaustion futilely trying to break them. By the present she's one of the setting's most dangerous Aurics.
Tragic Keepsake: Her most prized possession is a star necklace with a rainbow trailing behind it that was given to her as a birthday present by her Batch's Curium, who died of rapid-aging related cancer years prior, as a nod to her element's meaning and her love of space.
Villain Killer: Very few of Chiyo's antagonists survive direct combat with her, and even fewer of those survive without serious if not outright crippling injuries.
Violently Protective Girlfriend: Her relationship with Nicky and Kendra can be best described by the Facebook status "It's complicated", but she's quite willing to kill to protect them, and it serves as a major motivator for her to do so when she otherwise dislikes killing.
Walking the Earth: Spent the past 20 years of her life prior to the Galar Arc constantly traveling to avoid School attention, fighting Templars the whole way.
Wouldn't Hurt a Child: Makes a point out of noting that she doesn't kill children, implicitly including Schoolchildren and younger Templars if they're sent after her.
Younger Than They Look: Biologically and mentally in her 30s, but chronologically in her 20s when introduced during the Galar Arc due to being basically born into teenagerhood by the School. When Chiyo met the then 10 year old Tagg for the first time in 2001, roughly more than six months had passed since her decanting but she resembled and was mentally on par with an average 14 year old.
You Are Number 6: Defied, every time she's referred to as "Iridium" by Templars she angrily corrects them by stating her chosen name. The only exception is with her fellow Batchmates or other Schoolchildren.

Dactyl (Violet Core Minior)

Chiyo's starter, a Violet Core Minior.

Bouncing Battler: Dactyl's primary fighting style is Chiyo bouncing him into things and people with her barriers, and getting hit by a roughly 40 kg rock at high speeds tends to be crippling if not outright lethal.
Glass Cannon: If their casing gets cracked, Dactly gets far stronger and faster, but can't take as many hits.
I Owe You My Life: Became Chiyo's starter after she saved them from dying after they fell to Earth and cracked their casing.
Meaningful Name: Dactyl is named after the moon of the asteroid Ida, Chiyo's secondary alias.
No-Sell: Prevents Camazotz from paralyzing Chiyo with Thunder Wave during her fight with Adelinde by swinging forth and blocking it with Shields Down.
Shed Armor, Gain Speed: Knows Shell Smash so that they can do more damage and move quickly even while in Meteor Form, though this comes with a loss in defense.
Signature Mon: Dactyl is Chiyo's starter and always by her side.
Stone Wall: If fighting normally Dactyl's durable but not that great at attack. This generally isn't an issue outside of official battles though, as Chiyo's primary method of fighting is using her barriers to bounce Dactyl around to cripple or kill by sheer momentum.

Beremices (Maushold)

Chiyo's Maushold, a Family of Four.

Killer Rabbit: The Maushold may appear unassuming at first glance but they're actually quite dangerous, managing to beat Hala's Annihilape despite the type disadvantage and holding their own against his Crabominable before fainting.
Lightning Bruiser: Beremices are strong, fast, and surprisingly durable.
Misplaced Wildlife: Beremices were originally found as Tandemaus who'd managed to hitch a ride on a cargo container from Paldea all the way to the Fight Area in Sinnoh's Battle Zone.
Punny Name: Beremices is a pun on the constellation Coma Berenices, which contains the Mouse Galaxies.

Nicky and Kendra

Nicky Hearne and Kendra Tsuchimochi

A Faller duo who travel to various subplanes, and Chiyo's closest friends.

Aura Vision: Nicky can use Aura Sense to find rifts to open so that she and Kendra can go explore various subplanes.
Compelling Voice: Kendra is a Heart of Gold capable of using Goldvoice to convince people to listen to them, though it doesn't always work.
Dimensional Traveler: Nicky and Kendra use rifts to explore numerous subplanes and some of the major Nine Realms, having visited the CU once with Chiyo but being forced to retreat after meeting some demons.
Damsel out of Distress: At Chiyo Gaiden's climax they're kidnapped by the School and taken aboard the Air Train, Chiyo's assault manages to give them the tools they need to free themselves, and they even somewhat help during the battles against Hortensia and Gerald.
The Dividual: The two are never seen apart from one another for long. Chiyo even lampshades it when she discusses Tandemaus with Tagg and starts comparing the two.
Extradimensional Shortcut: They can use Nicky's ability to find rifts to move quickly from place to place.
Nice Girls: They're both very nice people.
Non-Action Guy: They make a point out of noting that they're not fighters, and mainly rely on their general personability to get out of trouble when Chiyo isn't around, with Nicky noting that they try to avoid "J-Team stuff".
Polyamory: They're dating each other, and in a quasi-relationship with Chiyo due to the latter's fears of the School harming them to get to her if they go any further.
Speaks Fluent Animal: They can both understand Monese, but whether they've been transformed into mons or learned it some other way remains unknown, though considering their planehopping the former is very likely as Chiyo mentions they've visited Treasure Town in PMD-A in the past.

Yolei

A refugee from another universe who chose to stay in the OU.

Dark and Troubled Past: We don't know much about Yolei's backstory, but what we do know is that her life in her home universe was bad enough that she would rather make a whole new life in another universe and has no regrets doing so.
I Choose to Stay: Yolei was originally forcibly trafficked from her old universe to the OU, but upon escaping, she decided to stay because her life in her home universe sucked, taking advantage of the LILA Act to get a proper identity.

Jacques

A man who once got stuck in PMD-A.

Forced Transformation: Was turned into an Applin upon ending up in PMD-A.
Trapped in Another World: Found a Timespace Orb Shard during 2012, ie the time of the PMD-R Arc, and got transported to PMD-A, the world of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.

Stewart

Stewart Mertens

Another former Schoolkid, the Iron of Batch 2010. He was disposed on a farm and left for dead, only to be rescued by Mamoswine and adopted by their farmer. He now works for the Oasis and acts as a chaperone for "truants" rescued by the Oasis and the J-Team.

Animal Motifs: Strongly associated with pigs, despite averting many pig-related tropes, as a pun on pig iron.
- His adoptive father, Mr. Mertens, is a swineherd who raises Mamoswine.
- It was the matriarch of Mertens' Mamoswine sounder who saved his life.
- His Pokémon are all suids (Mamoswine, Grumpig, and Emboar).
Big Brother Mentor: He's this to his adoptive sister, Rusty, a Schoolkid from the Freshman batch he recently rescued.
Big Man on Campus: Of a sort. He occupied this niche to the Schoolkids of his batch as the charismatic ace the other students looked up to. He embraced the "cool student" aesthetic not long after he was adopted, albeit in a more college-themed sense.
Carry a Big Stick: His main form of combat involves the manipulation of steel poles (usually broomsticks or the like) he ferrokinetically grabs from close by, which he uses as impromptu polearms.
Extra-ore-dinary: He can manipulate ferrometals and objects made of them using his magnet powers. When he needs to restrain someone, he can bend the poles he used as weapons prior into tight-fitting handcuffs.
Farm Boy: Was adopted by a wool farmer after being disposed by the School. He still speaks in a distinctively rural Orren accent evocative of the trope.
Fed to Pigs: Narrowly averted. He was disposed on a pigsty to deliberately dispose of what the henchpeople thought was his corpse. He was saved by the Mamoswine that lived in the pasture.
Fights Like a Normal: His main use for his ferrokinesis is to grab objects made of iron. When push comes to shove, he prefers to bludgeon or push attackers away using improvised quarterstaffs made from steel poles.
Good Counterpart:
- To a Templar named Ferrum, he is this and a Super Prototype. Ferrum was a refinement of his DNA and they look remarkably alike. Both are ferrokinetics who sound like they're from the old west. Whereas Ferrum is cynical, obnoxious, and overdoes the Western desperado aesthetic, Stewart is chipper, charismatic, and a bit more low-key on the country boy vibes (overdone rural accent aside).
- He's this to Igor as well. Both act as wards to a Freshman schoolchild and have a dress sense similar to a college student. Igor is a Pokémon disguising himself as a human and hides a ruthless streak behind his dorky, studious appearance. Stewart is a genetically altered human who is genuinely good and friendly. Igor is essentially a jailor who runs into constant conflict with his charge. Stewart is an older brother who respects his charge's personal freedom; Rusty obeys him willingly.
Happily Adopted: Farmer Mertens took him in when he was found by his mamoswine.
Magnetism Manipulation: The School had a habit of experimenting with ferrokinetic abilities on the 26th schoolchild of a batch, which would always be named "Iron." And Stewart was no exception.
The Paragon Always Rebels: Played with. His popularity with his batchmates led to the School plotting to avert this by getting rid of him. They arranged an accident so he and his peers wouldn't get any ideas of starting yet another batch rebellion. However, their botched attempt to dispose of him brought him to Farmer Mertens and to the Oasis, guaranteeing this.
Only Mostly Dead: In very specific circumstances, he can be knocked out cold to a nearly deathlike coma, then come to several hours to days later. This playing dead managed to save him from getting killed by the School as they thought that the arrangement they made to kill him worked. Their plans on disposing of his "corpse" effectively allowed him to escape.
Super Prototype: An exceptionally skilled Schoolchild with excellent social skills and charisma. As a result, he was deemed too dangerous and was "terminated."
You Are Number 6: Was the 26th in his batch and earned the designation of Iron. Like Chiyo, this is ultimately defied as he goes by his new name, Stewart.
Younger Than They Look: He's 12 as of 2022 but has the physical appearance of someone in their late teens or early 20s.

The Hydrogens

A trio of truants who escaped from a School facility in Orre. They lived as runaways until they were retrieved by the Oasis. They were all the first Schoolchildren developed and decanted from their respective batches. To differentiate between each other, they call themselves code names based on the isotopes of their namesake element: Protium, Deuterium, and Tritium.

Dead Person Impersonation: Both Protium and Deuterium did this for a henchperson and a Templar respectively.
Expy: Both Protium and Tritium are themed for X-Men characters:
- Protium is loosely based on David Haller, son of Professor X.
- Tritium is based on X-23/Laura Kinney, including her incarnation in the film Logan.
Identically Named Group: They were all the first of their classes and thus had the same name, Hydrogen. Their epithets were ways they used to tell each other apart.
Neat Freak: For a time, they couldn't disguise how they smell. They are quite fastidious with personal hygiene just so they don't give off a noticable odor when impersonating someone.
Vitriolic Best Buds: The two older Hydrogens bicker a lot despite their closeness, much like biological or adoptive siblings in more mundane families.

Protium

Hydrogen of the Class of 1998. An undetectable Auric blank. He creates illusionary disguises.

Anti-Magic: The reason he was meant to be liquidated was because he was a blank. He frequently uses this to his advantage to hide from others (and to hide others in plain sight):
- When breaking out Dr. Azala, he uses his lack of an aura to hide Astatine's consciousness. The Templars merely assumed Astatine's aura was his.
- Their concerns about his powers are not unfounded, as he has spent much of his life hiding from the School under their noses.
Butt-Monkey: As the dead-serious provider of his "family," his uptightness eventually causes him to become this:
- His attempts to eat a lost Galarian Farfetch'd ended up failing; the other two got attached and captured him instead.
Kill and Replace: What he essentially did to his would-be executioner, Allerdyce Pratchett. Allerdyce was killed by the very Feraligatr he was supposed to execute Protium with. Protium later took over his life for over 2 decades.
Logical Weakness: For however convincing Protium's illusions are, he can't hide smells; thus, the Hydrogens often stay near water not only for drinking but for fastidiously washing themselves to keep from developing a recognizable stench.
Master of Illusion: He can cast illusions that mimic the appearance and voice of other people, which he can extend to at least two other people. His illusions are very convincing, though it has its limits. He often uses them to disguise himself and his siblings.
My Sister Is Off-Limits: Wasn't too pleased when he found out that Stewart and Deuterium were sleeping in the same bed.
Shock and Awe: He is also an eletrokinetic and can fire bolts of electricity in defense.
Transferable Memory: As a psychic, he can copy a person's mind quite well. This aided his impersonation of his would-be executioner.

Deuterium

First Schoolchild of the last batch of the 20th Century, the Millennium Class. She has water powers.

All Amazons Want Hercules: Downplayed. She is a tall and burly woman and has a thing for Stewart, who while muscular is also very lithe.
Amazonian Beauty: Much like most School experiments, Deuterium was made to be exceptionally beautiful. She is also tall, muscular, and very strong.
Beware the Nice Ones: Deuterium is kind, wise, and great with kids. She also had no qualms with coordinating the deletion of her files, faking her death, and planning a murder.
Broken Ace: Despite being the main muscle of the siblings, she's acutely aware that they were way in over their heads when they escaped and is desperate for some sort of safe haven.
Kill and Replace: Coordinated the murder of the cocksure Templar Demetria, meant to replace her, and hijacked her life instead. Most know her as a Templar, "Demetria the Humble."
Making a Splash: Deuterium has hydrokinetic powers.
Meaningful Name: Deuterium is the heavy isotope of hydrogen and is the main component of a compound called Heavy Water. She is easily the heaviest of her sibling group and her powers involve water.
The Paragon Always Rebels: The first and best of the Millennium Class became a truant and opposes the School.
Team Mom: Acts as the warm maternal figure for both her siblings. Yes, even Protium.

Tritium

First schoolchild (made and activated) of the Freshman Batch.

Power Incontinence: Until recently, she was unable to control her nullification powers.
Power Nullifier: She can nullify someone else's powers when pushed to do so.

Aura Guardians

Diamond

Formerly the Carbon of the New Century Class, Diamond escaped the School and later joined the Aura Guardians, mentoring Vierr. He has the ability to use both clairvoyance and chronomancy.

The Chosen Many: He's a Mind of Crystal.
Duality Motif: Diamond has the School-typical purple eyes, but his left has a reddish hue and his right blue to represent his time refracting powers.
The Mentor: He's Vierr's primary teacher as an Aura Guardian.
Morally Superior Copy: He's in part derived from Volo, looking almost exactly like him save for his dark hair, tan skin, and purple eyes, but unlike him he's firmly good-aligned.
Seers: Diamond's clairvoyance comes in different varieties:
- Diamond can refract time into two different timelines, and then pick the timeline he wants to happen, using his Mind of Crystal to keep himself aware in both timelines. He used to be able to see into three timelines, but he lost the ability when Adelinde killed him in one timeline and severed the thread before he could terminate it, presumably due to her own Mind of Crystal.
- Apart from his chronomancy, he can use short-range Future Sight in battle.
Shout-Out: His ability to separate the future into two timelines is a direct reference to Coil from Worm.
Personality Powers: Diamond is a mostly calm and logical person who likes to plan before taking action, and he not only has the ability to see into the future but choose what future it is.

Unaffiliated Truants and ex-Templars

"Truants" are a term for the genetic experiments made by the School that have escaped their custody. All Schoolchild and Templar escapees unaffiliated with any organization belong here.

Percy

Percy Mortimer

A young woman with peculiar obscuric abilities, who works as a fossil reviver and electronics repairwoman. Actually the Schoolchild Phosphorus, of the Phantom Class.

Bad Powers, Good People: A necromancer who uses her abilities to revive dead fossils and fix broken electronics.
Cast from Calories: Her abilities drain calories exceptionally fast, so she keeps herself going on sports drinks.
Casting a Shadow: She can use Ghost Obscura, to a limited extent, as her powers are mostly dedicated to keeping herself alive.
Half the Man He Used to Be: Adelinde cut her in half, lengthwise, and as a result half of her is exposed bone shored up by her own abilities.
I Am Not a Gun: Seeks a way of using the powers the School gave her to do something good for the world.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's standoffish, prickly, and paranoid, but she is at her core a kind person under a great deal of stress.
Lich: She's only alive because of her powers, Tagg describing her as essentially a ghost puppeteering her own corpse. For this reason she's reluctant to attempt a mon form transformation in case she turns into something that can't support her abilities.
Meaningful Name: Percy can be a shortened form of "Persephone", the Greek goddess of the underworld.
Necromancer: The true nature of her abilities. By combining Ghost Obscura and lightning, she can manipulate or flash-grow dead tissues, raise zombies, puppeteer corpses, call up ghosts to attack her opponents, and bring back dead phones.
Odd Friendship: Percy, a taciturn necromancer, is close friends with Apple-A-Day, a bright superhero.
Shock and Awe: She can use her Obscuric abilities to generate and manipulate electricity in a variety of ways.
The Sleepless: Is constantly under the effect of Electric Terrain, which prevents sleep. She's somehow not gone mad.

Kal

The Kalosium ^noteThe Pokéverse equivalent of Francium of the Freshman Batch. They were rescued by the Yews and have since taken up residence at the Stormchaser.

Ankle Drag: On the receiving end of this from Radium. If she wants to go somewhere, she will force Kal to come with by hook or by crook, mainly by tugging at their ankle.
Battle in the Center of the Mind: How they were rescued. Thanks to Radium alerting Professor Yew and his family, they were rescued from their predicament. Professor Yew and his family had to talk them into agreeing.
Broken Bird: The School's abusive treatment, coupled with Radium's death, caused them to become an embittered shut-in.
Cast from Lifespan: What their power had degenerated into before they were found. Constant experiments and the School's expectations to excel have caused them to overtax themselves mentally and physically. They continued to do so while sick with the flu, leading to a near-fatal fever.
Happily Adopted: Played With. A part of them remains apprehensive and mistrustful even of their rescuers.
Shrinking Violet: A shy enby person with major trust issues. It takes a little while to get past their shell.
The Shut-In: A near-fatal example. They nearly died by remaining in a mental construct that was slowly killing them.
Your Mind Makes It Real: They can make pocket dimensions of their own making using willpower alone.

"Kal"

A personality within Kal's mindscape that serves as their double. They stood in the way of Radium's attempts to have Kal run away. They continue to linger to sow seeds of doubt in Kal's mind.

Enemy Within: Kal's own survival instincts working against them.
Superpowered Evil Side: Within Kalosium's mindscape, their alter is an extremely powerful foe.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Appears to be a manifestation of Kal's (admittedly maladaptive) survival instincts and their mistrust of others. Given that every person Kal had met before the Yews was a manipulative and abusive adult, they were given no rationale to trust anybody.

Radium

Radium is Kal's companion, a Frillish and (possibly) the ghost of the Schoolchild companion Kal was partnered with in their facility. Far more extraverted than her trainer.

Ambiguous Situation: It is hinted, but never outright stated, that she is indeed the ghost of the Freshman Batch's Radium.
Big Eater: Another contrast with her sibling; she insists on eating human food meant for Kal instead of Pokémon kibble.
First Friend: She was Kal's primary companion and before they were rescued, their Only Friend.
True Companions: Radium rushed to Kal's rescue when their own mind constructs kept them in a fatal situation. She's worked tirelessly since then to break Kal out of their shell.

Vana

The Vanadium of the Freshman class. She had since passed, a victim of the "the curse" that afflicts production-line schoolchildren.

The Anti-Nihilist: Ultimately tries to adopt this ideology close to her death, but lamented the life she couldn't live because of the curse taking its toll.
Big Eater: Played for Drama. Due to the Curse, she requires a lot more food than an average person of her size and weight.
Clone Degeneration: Her ultimate cause of death, though she's painfully aware of its coming well beforehand. Towards the end of her life she loses feeling in her body and develops an insatiable appetite.
Deadpan Snarker: She laces a lot of her communication with sarcasm around people like Bela who take themselves too seriously.
I Just Want to Be Normal: Wants more than anything else to live a normal life, or at least as normal a life a Schoolchild can have, but is unable to thanks to the Curse killing her.
My Fist Forgives You: On the receiving end of this from Hoops, whose murder and temporary death she was partially responsible for. She had to battle them to receive it, though they didn't quite forgive her until a few minutes before her death.
Not So Above It All: Once the PEFE offers to escort the truants to a carnival, she becomes as giddy as you'd expect someone her age to be when told of that.
Small Role, Big Impact: While a minor character in the greater scheme of things, her death has a profound effect on many of the characters. Many of her fellow truants break down upon her passing. Chiyo goes into a severe depression not long after, while Stewart enters a milder one in comparison.

Gyozo

Oganesson (Gyozo)

The last of the Freshman batch, Oganesson specializes in immersive (and, when necessary, very painful) sensory illusions. He was cloned from a lock of hair found in a medieval jeweled box stolen from a museum. Previously in the care of Dr. Circhester, he and his companions were taken in by PEFE after a raid. One of his genetic donors was Victor Helstrand, an immortal 15th Century noble and an aura vampire.

The Ace: Dr. Circhester placated him by giving him a lot of arts and crafts hobbies to indulge in, which he has gotten very good at. This has allowed him to live a very luxurious (tangible) existence all of his own creation.
Egomaniac Hunter: One of his specialties is hunting, and most of the items that decorate his room are actually hunting trophies. He styles himself as a gentleman hunter, though he seems to revel in the idea of taking down and consuming game for sheer sadism of it.
From My Own Personal Garden: The majority of his personal effects were items he crafted himself from hunted game.
The Gadfly: He draws much enjoyment from haranguing and annoying his adversaries.
Large Ham: He has the flair for theatrics that would make Dracula proud.
Master of Illusion: His specialty is creating entire illusory worlds to trap people.
Not So Above It All:
- One of his favorite hobbies is annoying his handler's assistant.
- When faced with an illusionist who surpasses his own skills (i.e. Mason, who hijacked one of his illusions), he is bound to geek out at it.
Man of Wealth and Taste: A well-bred, well-read young man who enjoys living the decadent lifestyle of a medieval nobleman. It helps that he was cloned from one.
Ping Pong Naïveté: A powerful illusionist who is mature enough to know when he's outclassed, yet pretty much admits that he's Just a Kid when push comes to shove.
Supreme Chef: An excellent cook who specializes in Mamoswine pork and other game.
Those Two Guys: Had this sort of dynamic with the 36th Schoolchild, Krypton.
Younger Than He Looks:
- Has the appearance of a 15-year-old boy and acts like a villainous older gentleman.
- As the last Freshman off the production line, he's barely a year old by 2022 and is only two by 2023. He is not only younger than the younger-looking Krypton, he is also the youngest of the Freshmen.
- In a sense, this makes him Krypton's Big Little Brother.
Your Mind Makes It Real: In a sense, his mind makes it feel real. People under his thrall can touch, smell, taste, and even feel pain from his illusions. He could cause a target physical, incapacitating pain simply by creating the impression of a grievous injury.

Jordan

Krypton (Jordan Elliot)

The 36th Schoolchild of the Freshman class, he was developed and raised by Dr. Alexis Forsythe. Although he was developed with more-or-less standard psychic abilities, he makes up for it by being physically exceptional.

Blood Knight: Developed this sort of streak back when he was under Dr. Circhester. Spending time with Oganesson may have made him more fond of the idea of snapping bones (and mentioned how much less satisfying breaking twink bones are compared with Mamoswine ones at least once).
Deadpan Snarker: Has a sarcastic streak, with Oganesson and his theatrics being his main target.
Expy: One for Connor Kent and Galatea, in that he's a superpowered being created in a laboratory who at one point was on the side of the bad guys.
Foil: Oganesson's.
- Oganesson relies on misdirection and illusions, while he heavily relies on physical attacks.
- Oganesson is quite scrawny, while Krypton is pretty jacked for a teenager.
- Oganesson is theatrical and full of himself; Krypton is kind of unpretentious, direct to the point, and prefers to snark in the sidelines.
- Oganesson enjoys drawn out battles that taunt and torture enemies while Krypton prefers to overwhelm and incapacitate an enemy quickly as a show of force.
Flying Brick: Genetically engineered to possess exceptional human strength, durability, endurance, and speed. He stops short of being able to fly, but he can jump real high to compensate. He is powerful enough to give Igor, a powerful pokémon, a run for his money.
Older Than They Look: Oganesson looks 15-16 and he looks around 13-14. By production order, Krypton is older than Oganesson.
Those Two Guys: He has this dynamic with his main companion, Oganesson. The two banter with each other constantly.
Younger Than They Look: Krypton physically looks like he's in his early teens and can be mistaken for an unusually burly child. In actuality, he's 2.

Boron (2001)

The Boron of Chiyo's New Century Class, who attempted to bring her back to the School by force back in 2006, only to be killed. During Neo-Sinnoh, she gets brought back to life.

Alas, Poor Villain:
- Compared to Chiyo's other kills her death is treated with sadness and Chiyo mentions in her narration that it was the moment that she truly gained hatred for the School as opposed to simply fear.
- Both Chloe and Abe express sadness that they were unable to prevent her death from happening.
The Atoner: After being revived she fights in part to atone for betraying Chiyo in the first place.
Back from the Dead: During Neo-Sinnoh Tagg uses a modified version of the Burst Heart extraction ritual after Chiyo cleanses Boron's pendant with Tapu Fini's purifying water to revive her fully.
Bizarre Taste in Food: After reviving her first meal is something that can only be described as Dubious Food. The only thing she regrets is having to use the bathroom afterwards.
Boron: You have no idea what it's like to not taste anything for almost 20 years.
Commonality Connection: She and Louise become friends due to both being atoners from the School.
An Ice Person: Implied to have an Ice-subtype since her Aura has a frosty quality to it.
Died in Your Arms Tonight: Dies in Chiyo's arms after the former mortally wounds her by slicing her deeply with her disc constructs.
Easily Forgiven: She's shocked that the Truancy Gang forgives her for trying to kill Chiyo and points most of the blame at the School.
Fighting Your Friend: She and Chiyo were friends, but are forced to fight thanks to the School.
I'm Cold... So Cold...: As she's cradled in Chiyo's arms while dying, she mentions feeling cold as she bleeds out.
Intergenerational Friendship: Boron (mid-30s) is friends with Louise (mid-teens).
Mortality Phobia: Noted to have a fear of death that made her unwilling to join Chiyo's original breakout and is why she ends up fighting Chiyo in a duel to the death despite not wanting to, and admits to her fear of dying as she lays mortally wounded.
Posthumous Character: Died at Chiyo's hands back in 2006, 15 years prior to the Galar Arc, and appears only in a flashback. This is later subverted when her ghost is encountered within the Poni facility during Neo-Sinnoh, and she gets revived afterwards.
Sadistic Choice: According to her the School has tasked her with either Chiyo's death or recapture, or she herself gets liquidated.
Scars Are Forever: Her new body has scars that match the mortal wounds Chiyo gave her prior to her first death.
Ship Tease: Is heavily implied to have had a crush on Chiyo from even before she died the first time, as her last words give off the vibe of an Anguished Declaration of Love, and even tells Iridium directly that she has very complicated feelings regarding Chiyo, albeit different from hers.

Ruthenium (2001)

The Ruthenium of the New Century Class who escaped after Diamond and ended up holing herself inside the Poni facility. Also a devout Yveltalist.

Chekhov's Gunman: First briefly mentioned in "Scattered Stars", the story of how Chiyo and Dactyl met and how they escaped Alola, before making her first onscreen appearance when Chiyo, Tagg, and company visit the Poni Facility.
Dark Is Not Evil: Dresses like The Grim Reaper but is firmly good aligned, having taken care of the spirits within the Poni facility for years.
The Hermit: Has spent at least more than 15 years living in the Poni facility with only her mons and the restless spirits of deceased Schoolchildren for company.
Sinister Scythe: She's an Yveltalist who wields a scythe and has a generally dark aesthetic.
Soul Power: Mentions that she has the ability to call upon the empty state all Schoolchildren and Templars are initially born in to take on spirits into her person.

Louise

Louise the Sniper

A Templar defector specializing in long range combat.

The Atoner: Assists Chiyo with fighting the School out of a desire to make up for the people she's killed.
Child Soldiers: Downplayed in that she's a teenager, but Louise is a former active School agent who isn't an adult yet by any metric.
Cold Sniper: Apart from some gloating she doesn't emote much when on the hunt.
Combat Pragmatist: Simply attempts to shoot Chiyo in the head with an arrow without bothering to introduce herself, a technique that would've worked had Chiyo not barely erected a barrier in time to block.
Commonality Connection: She and Boron become friends due to both being atoners against the School.
Curb Stomp Cushion: Louise manages to survive against Adelinde longer than a lot of people would, but if Chiyo hadn't interfered she would've been yet another of Adelinde's victims.
Heel–Face Turn: Chiyo's beating and words with her causes her to realize that she doesn't want to work for the School anymore, but has to wait for the right time to escape or help.
Innate Night Vision: Her Aura Sense variant allows her to see in the dark.
Intergenerational Friendship: Louise (mid-teens) is friends with Boron (mid-30s).
Huge Schoolgirl: Louise is in her mid-teens biologically but is also roughly 5'9" at minimum.
Like a Son to Me: Louise thinks of Chiyo as a mother figure, and Chiyo reciprocates by treating her as a daughter.
Long Range Combatant: Louise specializes in long-range combat with firearms or a bow.
The Mole: Serves as a mole for the J-Team inside the School, keeping them abreast of School operations, up until she's found out by Adelinde and Chiyo needs to rescue her.
Not So Stoic: Breaks her professional demeanor after being humiliated by Chiyo in combat and when she thinks she's about to kill her.
Professional Killer: Her job is to assassinate escapees for the School.
The Straight and Arrow Path: Downplayed. While she does use an actual sniper rifle and uses a handgun as a desperation move, her primary ranged weapon is a bow.
Wolfpack Boss: Along with her Chiyo and Dactyl have to deal with the literal pack of canine mons sent after them.
Took a Level in Kindness: Brad mentions to Adelinde that she's been treating Schoolkids better following her battle with Chiyo.

Marcia

The Iridium of a late 1950s School Class, and one of the first Schoolchildren to be denoted by a chemical element, who chose to reveal herself to the Truancy Gang upon getting word of Chiyo's speech. She currently lives aboard the Stormchaser.

Cool Old Lady: She's elderly by both School creation and regular human standards, and Chiyo looks up to her quite a bit.
Had to Be Sharp: Implied. In a world where a truant can count themselves lucky if they manage to reach five years, let alone a decade, between Templar attacks and the Curse, Marcia has managed to survive into true old age.

The Truancy Gang

A group comprised of Chiyo and three of her surviving New Century Class Batchmates, all being powerful Aurics.

In General

Badass Crew: All four are formidable Aurics, with Chiyo and Zee in particular being the most dangerous in a straight fight, but they're even more dangerous together. During Neo-Sinnoh, they manage to crush a far larger numerically superior group of Templars effectively singlehandedly.
Combination Attack: What makes them particularly dangerous as a group is that their powers all complement each other very well, such as Abe hurling flaming meteors created using Chiyo's barriers combined with Zee and Chloe's gravity and wind manipulation powers to make them hit even harder.
Official Couple: Abe and Chloe are effectively together romantically.
Putting the Band Back Together: Following their escape from the Poni Facility, where Gallium sacrificed himself to secure their escape, the Truancy Gang's members split up for the next two decades into order to evade the School trying to hunt them down, with Curium dying from the Curse in the interim. The latter portion of the Galar Arc into Neo-Sinnoh has Chiyo assisted by Tagg going around to meet up with the others in order to get their help fighting the School, and they've been more physically united since.
Secret-Keeper: Are amongst the few who are aware that Diamond is still alive.

Chiyo

See Chiyo's folder in the "Oasis" section.

Abe

Formerly Osmium of the School's New Century Class, Abe is a powerful telekinetic who works as a coder for the Oasis.

Faking the Dead: The School believes he was killed in the same incident that ruined his legs, and he's not bothering to correct the record.
Game-Breaking Injury: Abe was originally the fastest runner in the Truancy Gang if not the entire New Century Class, but due to his injuries he can't really run anymore.
Handicapped Badass: Abe can't run anymore due to suffering injuries to his legs via Templar attack that left him disabled, but it did nothing to his psychic prowess.
Mind over Matter: He's a powerful telekinetic, capable of easily lifting tons of material using his mind alone.
Understanding Boyfriend: Abe is well aware of Chloe's outward aggressive shell but knows it's simply her way of expressing care. Chloe even makes a point out of calling him her tether.

Chloe

Chloe Cloudchaser

Formerly Chlorine of the New Century Class, Chloe is an aerokinetic Psychic who spends most of her time traveling the world.

Alliterative Name: Chloe Cloudchaser.
Blow You Away: She's an aerokinetic who can even turn herself intangible, and can alter wind resistance so that her attacks have greater penetrating power.
Brutal Honestly: Chloe is very much a "tells it how it is" type of person and does not mince words with Chiyo or anyone else.
Combat Pragmatist: Chloe helps out Chiyo and Channah by first quietly choking out one Templar while in wind form, before solidifying and stabbing the other In the Back with her knife while they're struggling with Chiyo.
The Cynic: Chloe is the most pessimistic about their chances to take on the School and is very vocal about it.
Desecrating the Dead: She makes a point out of kicking the corpse of one of the Templars she's killed, which Chiyo admonishes her for.
Devious Daggers: Her primary weapon is a knife and she's a Combat Pragmatist.
Made of Air: While in her intangible state Chloe is completely immune to physical attack.
Not in This for Your Revolution: She insists that she's helping out Chiyo after proclaiming that she has no interest in fighting the School simply because she doesn't want to see the closest thing she has to a family die, rather than believing it's actually worth fighting for, even if she goes above and beyond what's necessary for just that, bordering on being an outright Sour Supporter.
"Not So Different" Remark: Chloe remarks to Abe following their meeting with Lydia that it wasn't exactly great hearing the very same words she's said about survival being the most important thing being thrown back in her face by someone she considers a coward, finding the similarities greatly uncomfortable.
Spider-Sense: She can sense movement by disturbances in air currents.
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Does not get along with Tagg at first because she believes he's responsible for putting potentially lethal ideas of rebellion in Chiyo's head that could get her and her Batchmates killed. Their first (offscreen) meeting in the aftermath of a School base raid was apparently very explosive.
Vitriolic Best Buds: Despite their numerous disagreements and at times rocky relationship it's Chiyo and Chloe are in the end very close.
Walking the Earth: Chloe normally never spends time in one place for too long, spending her time traveling around the globe.
Wind Is Green: Chloe is an aerokinetic with mint green hair.
You Are Better Than You Think You Are: When Chloe wonders if she'd end up doing the same terrible things that many Alumni do if they'd never left the School, Abe says that he thinks she would probably sooner die than do so.

Zee

Formerly Xenon of the New Century Class, Zee is a gravity manipulator who lives a mostly solitary life in the forest north of the Battle Zone.

Amazonian Beauty: Zee is the tallest and most muscular of the Truancy Gang, and Damien is implied to be attracted to her for it.

Call to Agriculture: She loves gardening.
Gravity Master: Capable of using her powers to manipulate gravity around her and others.
Green Thumb: Has a Grass subtype, which she uses to manipulate the growth of plants around her.
The Hermit: Zee lives by herself in a cabin in the middle of the forest with only her Sneasler and Appletun for company, up until she kidnaps Damien to teach him about life outside the School.
Mighty Lumberjack: Zee acts as a lumberjack and is the tallest and physically strongest of the Truancy Gang.
Morally Superior Copy: Zee is in part derived from the villainous Templar Adrian the Stalwart, but is firmly good aligned.
Statuesque Stunner: She's 6'3" and it's no obstacle for Damien being into her. It's implied her height is something she inherited from the even taller Adrian.
The Stoic: Certainly not a Fiery Redhead, Zee doesn't emote much.
Weapons of Their Trade: She dresses and acts like a lumberjack, and her primary weapon is an axe.

Other Humans and their Pokémon

Steven Stone

Brainwashed and Crazy: By 'M, for years.
Chekhov's Gift: He's given most of the proto-J-Team at least one important item. Tagg for instance obtained Cobalt from him.
Extra-ore-dinary: Uses Steel types mostly.
Face–Heel Turn: Via Mind Control. He turns back after being defeated.
Nice Guy: Most of the time.

Cynthia

The Ace: Cynthia is considered one of the strongest and most respected Champions in the world.
Badass Crew: Her mons are incredibly powerful, with her Garchomp mentioning that a lot of the time challengers don't even make it to be destroyed by her because the other mons crush them in battle beforehand.
Badass in Distress: She gets kidnapped by Missingno in the most epic way possible.
Cool Big Sis: She's a cool elder mentor figure to DS.

Fluffy Tamer: Owns a Giratina.

Tastes Like Friendship: Offers Palkia a Chili Dog to be friends.
Voice of the Legion: Her Spiritomb... composed of 108 /b/-tard souls... that plays by trolling competitive players.

Ryklys

Aqua Admin Ryklys

A commanding officer of Neo Team Aqua, and a rival of Tagg's.

Friendly Enemy: Despite her and Tagg clashing multiple times in Hoenn when their interests came into conflict (Her water focus vs his balance), they have a fairly good rapport.
Making a Splash: Her entire team is made up of Water types.
The Stoic: Has a rather icy demeanor most of the time.
No-Sell: Can resist Tagg's Terrifying Presence.
Not So Stoic: When Grace nearly gets snagged by a mind controlled Every she shows the most emotion she ever has in the RP.
One, Two, Skip a Few: When giving some protesters a countdown before siccing Edward and Teach on them, she counts normally before switching into Fibonacci numbers.
The Rival: To Tagg, who's also probably the closest thing she has to a human friend.
Theme Naming: All of her mons are named after famous pirates.
Took a Level in Kindness: It can be a bit surprising that an erstwhile sometimes ally of the J-Team was first introduced siccing her Blastoise on protestors.

Ascended Extra: Initially was going to be a recurring character who would talk to Sakura by phone and give her help from time to time, she ended up getting a much larger role, even getting to be part of PEFE. At this point she's pretty much a PC in all but title.
Beauty, Brains, and Brawn: The Brains to Sakura's Beauty and Lyuri's Brawn.
Born Lucky: One of her main quirks is just how lucky she can get at times. Managing to find two specific houses in Goldenrod by random guess in one try each is just one of her feats.

Cloudcuckoolander: On her weirder days.
Cool Big Sis: She acts as one for Sakura, sometimes even for Lyuri, her actual big sister.

Genius Ditz: She may act silly, but she's far from being dumb and is even part of the PEFE.
Goggles Do Something Unusual: Her main example of her tech prowess is that she made her glasses have X-ray, night, head and Stat-O-Vision as well as being able to take picture and record videos and send them to her laptop.
Plucky Girl: Trusted assistant is actually a Cipher admin that was using you all along? No problem! Let's compensate for it by giving everyone expensive Christmas gifts!

Official Couple: Her and Jacob finally become a couple during the Hoenn-2 arc.
Offscreen Teleportation: Not frequently, but she does pop-up at random sometimes.

Signature Mon: Azure the Azumarill in Kanjoh-2, Blade the Bisharp in Unova-2.
The Tease: Some examples include:
- Trolling the fanbase with Double Entendres when people asked about her relationship with Jacob.

Dude Looks Like a Lady: He and Rillianne look alike and he can sometimes be mistaken for her twin sister.
The Reveal: Turns out to be the Cipher Admin Alexiel, as such, any tropes related to his villainous actions after his identity is revealed go under Alexiel's area.
Sharp-Dressed Man: His usual attire is a black suit and pants with white gloves.
Ship Tease: With Hikari. Even after being revealed as Alexiel he admits that he honestly liked being her assistant.
Solomon Divorce: He stayed with his father while Rillianne stayed with their mother after the divorce.
Straight Man and Wise Guy: The Straight Man to Hikari's Wise Girl.

Randy

An imageboard contributor and Sinn refugee living in Celadon, who ended up helping Tagg and Tracer in Kanto during the AU arc, though unlike them he didn't get back his OU memories before the universe split. In the OU, he lives in Sinnoh, and met Tagg once again during the IK Arc.

Guest-Star Party Member: Assists the J-Team during the war portion of the AU Arc, and again in OU Sinnoh during the IK Arc.
It's Personal: Besides invading his home, Lanius managed to seriously injure his Torterra Jaws, which really pissed him off.
La Résistance: First against Scolemis and then against the 7JD in the AU, and against Annoski's Spiritomb army in the OU.
Locked Out of the Loop: Missed out on half of the dramatic speeches made during the Lanius fight by virtue of being unable to understand Monese like everyone else.
Nerves of Steel: Is pretty much a regular guy who gets wrapped up in something greater, but doesn't back down at all.
Odd Friendship: With Tagg and Tracer, as they're relatively straight-laced scientists while he's a rather rude and crude imageboard contributor.
Official Couple: With Carol (the NPC) in the AU, and some Ship Tease in the OU.
Jerk W Ith A Heart Of Gold: He's rather surly but has a good heart.

Vault Dweller

The Vault Dweller

Captain Ersatz: Of the Vault Dweller from Fallout1.
Fire-Forged Friends: Becomes friends with Tagg, his mons, and Tracer's mons through their battles in PMD-B Angela.
Guest-Star Party Member: For Tagg's group in Angela-B, as the two parties stick together through Angela for shared goals and mutual protection.
Honorary True Companion: Isn't part of the J-Team for obvious reasons, but Tagg considers him as good as a fellow J-Teamer.
No Name Given: Much like his game counterpart, he's not given a name past his designation.
You Can't Go Home Again: Much like his game counterpart, he gets banished from the Vault by the Overseer after getting the water chip and saving Angela from the Unity.

Jeff

A researcher from Celadon, and a friend of Tagg and Tracer. In the AU he ended up coming up with concoctions to aid the J-Team members fighting Lanius in Kanto.

One Degree of Separation: His Charizard, Bunsen, happened to have been in the same starter batch as Tagg's Venusaur and Tracer's Blastoise, Iggy.
Shout-Out: To Jeff from EarthBound, while his concoctions are Shout Outs to the original Bioshock 1 and Bioshock Infinite in the form of Enrage and Murder of Crows respectively.

Salvador

Salvador Arjuna Trouillefou

A priest of Yveltal currently traveling with the J-Team, and the son of Constantin from another timeline.

Agent Peacock: He may be very effeminate in appearance and hobbies and is generally pacifistic in nature, but remember, he was able to hold his own against Tagg and Constantin with ease and reaped Grohl's soul in a rather terrifying manner.
All-Loving Hero: On the front, appears to be this.
Badass Preacher: Just because he's a priest doesn't mean he can't handle himself in a fight.
Celibate Hero: By virtue of being a priest. Despite the apparent stereotypes of people of Yveltal's cloth being Nun Too Holy.
Chick Magnet: Is very popular amongst his sister's workmates in his native timeline due to his looks (a trait he inherits from his father). Though it's not just limited to the girls.
Combat Stilettos: More like combat heeled boots.
The Coroner: He handles body forensics and burials for the J-Team.
Creepy Good: Salvador is an unambiguously good guy, but he's also a mortician with a morbid streak.
Creepy Mortician: His secondary job is that of a mortician, and despite being a good guy he can be quite creepy while doing it.
The Gadfly: While he's certainly on the good side, he still certainly enjoys getting a kick out of yanking people's chains. Namely Lucius.
Good Shepherd: Has provided counsel to Tagg at times, as well as other J-Team members.
Guyliner: Wears a light amount of makeup, including eyeliner and mascara. Of course, this has the typical amusing tells when he is sad or distressed
Eye Scream: His ritual before heading off to claim Grohl's soul on Yveltal's behalf has him pierce his own eyes first.
Evil Parents Want Good Kids: It's been inferred that his general affable demeanor and kind attitude was the result of his upbringing, and that Constantin went out of his way to make sure his children didn't turn out like he did.
Mythical Motifs: Much like how his father has inspirations from Kali, Salvador has motifs inspired by Shiva.
Hot for Preacher:
- Once the vestments come off, this is the reaction from the fangirls.
- Yveltal in particular has a strong attraction to him.
In Touch with His Feminine Side: Wears Thigh-High heeled boots, a hip scarf, mascara, and burgundy lipstick and is in general a very supporting and caring young man. Which puts him at odds with his father.
Kid from the Future: He's Constantin's son.
Like Father, Unlike Son: Unlike Constantin, he's not a bad guy at all, though he does share his creepier tendencies.
Long-Haired Pretty Boy: The long hair adds to his appeal.
Macabre Moth Motif: When he comes to reap Grohl's soul for Yveltal, he uses the Gates in order to look like a giant, humanoid moth with bleeding eyeballs.
Nightmare Fetishist: He revels in the disturbing and macabre.
Power at a Price: Can use the Gates, with their negative effects on the body with prolonged use.
Pretty Boy: A very attractive young man when the vestments are off.
Psychic Powers: Much like his father he's a psychic, primarily using telekinesis.
Psychopomp: Has a lot of elements borrowed from the Shinigami and The Grim Reaper, in particular the Ankou of Breton mythology. Though he himself is a pretty affable guy.
Sexy Priest: Is noted to be a very attractive fellow, but is also a very pious priest.
Strong Family Resemblance: It's been noted that he looks very much like a darker skinned version of his father, Constantin. To the point where he can mimic Constantin's voice.
White Sheep: Actively tries to not be the person his father was.

Echo Lingua

Ex-Illusion Leader Echo Lingua

The former leader of the Illusion Project.

Adoptive Peer Parent: If Tagg is Pef's father figure, then Echo is her mother figure, despite a 9 year age gap.
An Ice Person: Her mon form is revealed during the Alola Arc to be an Alolan Vulpix, which are Ice-type.
Anti-Villain: Prior to her Heel–Face Turn, while her goals weren't exactly good for the world, she herself isn't evil.
Badass Bookworm: Is quite well read when it comes to history and fiction, and is a skilled villainess prior to her Face–Heel Turn.
Chekhov's Gunman: First appears as a cloaked figure during the Orre Arc who witnesses the J-Team confront Tagg for the Very Bad Thing before reappearing as a major villain for the Ranger-2 Arc.
Cunning Linguist: Can speak the Pokeverse equivalents of Mandarin, English, Japanese, and Kalosian^noteread: French, though the latter language isn't her most fluent. The former is justified due to the fact that she's from the Pokeverse equivalent of China.
Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Following Illusion's disbandment, her main issue has been trying to figure out what to do with the rest of her life.
Foil: In some ways, to Tagg. For example:
- Both are of at least partial (In the case of Tagg) Chinese analogue descent and both tend to dress in ways to keep attention off of themselves, though Echo wears brighter clothing, mainly white, whereas Tagg has an affinity for more muted colors.
- Tagg has a good relationship with his parents, whereas Echo murdered hers. (Albeit in the case of her mother it was a Mercy Kill.)
- Echo directly runs the super organized Illusion Project, whereas Tagg is the de facto leader of the ragtag J-Team, which also plays into their opposing ideologies of philosophical egalitarianism vs freedom.
- In terms of height Echo's about 5'2" and Tagg's 6'3".
- Both are run by regret for the actions of their pasts.
Friendly Enemy: To Tagg prior to her Heel–Face Turn, as neither had anything personal against the other. Afterwards the "enemy" part disappears entirely.
The Gadfly: Has a particular love for trolling Tagg and manages to be one of the few people who can fluster him.
Heel–Face Turn: At the end of Ranger-2 she decides to disband the Illusion Project and ends up allying herself to the J-Team.
Noble Demon: Tries to run things in her organization as nobly as possible. Torture for instance is not allowed.
Self-Made Orphan: Tells Crewe that she ended up killing her mother and father, the former as a Mercy Kill, the latter due to him being abusive. She's hated herself ever since.
Older Than They Look: Despite being in her early 30s during Hoenn-2, she can easily pass for someone in their early to mid-20s.
Taught by Experience: Echo took note of previous criminal organizations' failures and actively works to avoid the same mistakes. She keeps her organization low-key, avoids referring to it as a "team", insists on a noticeable but not blatant dress code, and acknowledges how much of a threat the J-Team is despite it being mostly comprised of teenagers during Ranger-2.
Vitriolic Best Buds: A bit one-sided on Echo's part since Tagg doesn't really troll her back, but a part of him appreciates it because he likes the fact that Echo treats him as just another person.
Weak, but Skilled: Echo as a trainer prefers to rely more on strategy than raw power.
Well-Intentioned Extremist: Prior to her Heel–Face Turn, she believes her actions are the only way to create world peace.

The Jerkbros

Two former members of the Seven Jerk Dragons who were punted to the OU under a curse and later turned human; they consider themselves adoptive brothers, hence their nickname.

Fuuma

The formerly Flygon former leader of the Ruby Flame Clan, who was once a trained mon alongside Seshirou before their trainer died.

Bash Brothers: He and Sesh make an excellent team and battle together as often as possible.
Cynicism Catalyst: The death of their trainer made them hate all other humans as a result.
Emotion Bomb: His Heart Of Gold goldspeech usually fuctions as this, intentionally or not.
Heel Realization: Two, first discovering his daughter Spectrum was alive and up against him in his home timeline and discovering she still existed in the OU and realizing he'd have a second chance with her if he changed his ways.
Humanity Ensues: Twice, first as a punishment by Team Umbra and Mew for hiding his and Seishirou's origins (which lasts about a week) and second after being infected with a weremon curse by Noir (which becomes permanent default humanity after he and his brother sacrifice their monality to cure the others infected).
True Companions: With his fellow teammate, Seshirou; they consider each other adoptive brothers.

Seishirou

The former Garchomp former leader of the Diamond Horn Clan, who was once a trained mon alongside Fuuma before their trainer died.

Alas, Poor Yorick: Ammy has his PMD-B counterpart's skull, which Darter likely recovered following his death in that timeline.
Bash Brothers: He and Fuu make an excellent team and battle together as often as possible.
Cynicism Catalyst: The death of their trainer made them bitter towards all humans.
Eye Scream: Lost an eye trying to rescue Monica, and got it replaced with a glass one.
Glass Eye: Has one to replace the one he lost.
Handicapped Badass: Missing an eye doesn't really slow him down at all.
Humanity Ensues: Twice, first as a punishment by Team Umbra and Mew for hiding his and Fuuma's origins (which lasts about a week) and second after being infected with a weremon curse by Noir (which becomes permanent default humanity after he and his brother sacrifice their monality to cure the other infected).
Tragic Keepsake: The necklace his trainer gave him before she died.
True Companions: With his fellow teammate, Fuuma; they consider each other adoptive brothers.

Professor Hawthorn

Professor Conroy Hawthorn

A paleontologist from the Unovan Museum of Natural History and a former scientist with the Devon Group (and, at one point, a division of Pokefutures). He also turns into a Charizard in the full moon; to prevent him from being captured by others, his daughter became his trainer.

Eccentric Mentor: One of several scientists who Tommy Petersen studied under and definitely one with the weirdest gimmick.
Expy: Of Dr. Curt Connors/The Lizard, to an extent. He shares the origin story and was an erstwhile opponent of the resident Spider-Man Send-Up.
Freak Lab Accident: How he becamea Weremon in the first place. During his time at Pokefutures, he and his team were experimenting on lycanthropy based on shadow curses. An accident took place which left him a lycanthrope.
Good Parents: He (and his wife, while she was still around) were this to Stephanie.
Lost Lenore: He is a widower and still sometimes mourns the tragic passing of his wife Audrey.
Magic Pants: Invoked. Due to his transformation cycle running the lunar cycle (and because the experiments left his transformation imperfect), he has to buy special clothes from the Mews to make sure he stays clothed while transforming. Regular clothes do not survive the transformation process (which is rare among Weremon, a sign that something went wrong).
Opposed Mentors: He was one of Tommy Petersen's science teachers, thus this briefly became the case when he transformed into a rogue Charizard and Tommy donned his prototype Arachna-Guy identity to deal with him. Fortunately, they concluded the conflict peacefully.
Reluctant Mad Scientist: Had at one point worked for Pokefutures, which meant that he filled this role, in stark contrast to his other coworkers.
Sure, Let's Go with That: He still wears clothes while in monform, which after awhile led people to just assume he's an anthro fan who wears a Charizard scale suit to interact with and train Pokémon. This became his more or less permanent cover.
They Would Cut You Up: Part of the reason he eventually resigned from the company. When he discovered that he was a Were Charizard, he feared for his continued safety and returned to his old employers.

Guiscard de Aubépiene

The ghost of a distant ancestor of the Hawthorn family, a Honedge.

Disco Dan: Amazingly one for 1970s pop culture and music, rather than his previous life's time period. He enjoys it so much that he ended up wearing awkward 70s clothes when he finally took an armband that would transform him into a human being (again).
Heroic Lineage: Played with. While he indeed fought against the glitches in Kalos during the 15th Century alongside the heroic blacksmith Arthur Grant, he embellished a lot of the details to make himself look good.
Lovable Coward: What he turned out to be by Arthur's admission, at best. In his defense, the glitch beings he had to deal with struck fear in the hearts of most humans.
Happily Married: To his wife Millicent (now a Chandelure), who he's still partnered with as ghosts.
I Was Quite a Fashion Victim: Played with. The first time he returned to human form via armbands, he wore outdated 70s clothes that made everyone, including his descendant Conroy, embarrassed. While the clothes were from a different time period, they weren't from the time he was alive. Ultimately averted in the other times he wore the armband, where he either wore modern clothes or Gorgeous Period Dress.

Stephanie Hawthorn

A paleontology student working at the Unovan Museum of Natural History alongside her father.

Adventurer Archaeologist: Chose this aesthetic whenever she goes in the field to evoke the Rule of Cool. But otherwise, she works like a regular paleontologist.
Deadpan Snarker: She laces her speech with barbs whenever she deals with foolish behavior, especially from her own family.
Genius Bruiser: She is a former teen genius paleontology student. She and her Pokémon are also more than capable of holding her own in a combat situation
Missing Mom: Her mother died some time before she became an adult.
Secret-Keeper: She and her mother kept the secret that her father transformed into a Charizard in the full moon, up until and including becoming her father's trainer so nobody would catch him.
Teen Genius: She inherited her parents' smarts and became interested in scholarly fieldwork.

Professor Yew

Professor James Patrick Yew

An elderly and wealthy intellectual gentleman and pre-eminent authority in matters of the Auric Spectrum. He was previously involved in government research related to people in the Auric Spectrum and had at one point lent his expertise to The School.

Cool Old Guy: A grandfatherly old man and a staunch ally of the J-Team.
Defector from Decadence: Had once worked for the [U.S.] military intelligence, in particular those involved with The School. He left his job at the School when he found out what they were up to, with dire consequences to his career.
Expy: Of Professor Charles Xavier. It's somewhat implied that the in-Universe version of the X-Men were inspired by his declassified governmental activities involving Auric spectrum people. His team was known to wear black body suits.
Handicapped Badass: He walks with a pair of crutches will into his advanced age. It helps that he's a powerful psychic.
Hero of Another Story: He had quite an eventful life leading up to his involvement with the government and later The School, most of which has only been alluded to.
Parental Substitute: He serves as a secondary father-figure to his niece and tries to serve as a surrogate grandfather to Kal.
Uncle Pennybags: He has offered to lend his family's wealth and resources to helping the Schoolchildren who wish to escape. He and his niece have attempted to rescue Schoolchildren in the past, but up until Kal's rescue had not succeeded. His Big Fancy House is fortified specifically to keep the School and its allies out.
Warrior Therapist: He and his family fight off Kal's constructs to get them to relent to being rescued.

Ama

An alternate self of Daydre hailing from a universe where she ended up becoming an Aura Vampire and went into self-imposed exile after killing an unknown but important politician roughly 14 to 15 years prior. Following her defeat at the hands of Daydre, she's been in PEFE custody.

For tropes associated with her OU counterpart, see We Are All Pokemon Trainers Main 1.

Action Mom: She ends up becoming the mother figure for Lian, her partial clone and former Strontium of the Freshman Class, but her skills have not dulled in any way.
Animal Motifs: Foxes, she has the overall look of a human Zoroark, and when using her powers sprouts tails made of Obscura in a way akin to a Ninetales, alongside fox ears on top of her head.
Anti-Hero: Her stint as a superhero is implied to have fallen under this as she tells Daydre she killed a lot of people while having a generally dark aesthetic to match.
Casting a Shadow: Is a Dark Obscuric, and a more advanced one than Daydre is, being her superior in a direct confrontation. Which tracks since she's just a potential future self.
Choke Hold: Her primary method of feeding on humans is to grab them by the neck and start draining, as she tries doing to Daydre.
Cynicism Catalyst: Becoming a vampire forced her into despair, but the true push was her Rowan dying due to her need to feed to stay alive.
Defeat Means Friendship: "Friendship" might be pushing it, but following her defeat she doesn't bother trying to kill Daydre anymore and is willing to explain how she became the way she did. That said, she makes it clear that if Daydre ever does become an Aura Vampire like she did, she'll make sure to definitely kill her.
Fallen Hero: At some point she was a superhero, but it's unclear what happened between that and killing the politician that would force her into exile save for her mentioning to Daydre that she killed "a lot of people".
Femme Fatalons: Part of her outfit at age 26 were gloves with long red nails incorporated into them.
Foxy Vixen: Ama has strong fox motifs and is considered very attractive in-universe.
I Hate Past Me: Her self hatred is strong enough that she attempts to kill Daydre, her past self, on sight, and nearly succeeds a few times.
Morality Pet: Truly cares for her bunch of assorted foxmons she's picked up over the years.
Older Than They Look: Ama's in her 40s, but save for the longer hair and more haggard appearance she looks just like Daydre in her 20s. Which makes sense since she is just Daydre but older, her Aura Vampirism having arrested her aging.
Our Vampires Are Different: She's an Aura Vampire, having become so due to draining an enemy Aura Vampire who tried attacking Rowan around September 2019 in her original timeline and nearly drained her to death first.
Parental Substitute: She acts as a mother figure towards the Freshman Class Strontium, having basically adopted them after their failed attempts at killing her led to Ama having to rescue her from Allegros the Swift.
Real Name as an Alias: Ama is Daydre's actual birth name, but Ama goes by it to represent her shedding her old identity.
Red and Black and Evil All Over: Her general aesthetic has a lot of black with red accents, and she's tried to kill Daydre multiple times out of self-hatred.
Red Eyes, Take Warning: As a likely side effect of her vampirism, Ama has red eyes as opposed to the brown of her OU counterpart, and is a dangerous individual.
Reluctant Monster: Doesn't like being an Aura Vampire and only feeds for her continued survival.
Sink or Swim Mentor: When Daydre asks her how to use her newfound Obscura powers, past giving Daydre her old belt Auric medium to use Ama tells her to figure it out herself.
Sensible Heroes, Skimpy Villains: She's antagonistic for a good portion of her early appearances, and her outfits tend to show a bit more skin than Daydre's do at times.
You Can't Go Home Again: Publicly assassinating a politician in her home timeline means that she can't live in civilization if she doesn't want to get arrested and imprisoned.

Apple-A-Day

A costumed hero living in Galar, who for some reason has chosen to dress as a Flapple to fight crime. Their real name is Nasreen, but they're not often out of costume.

Animal-Themed Superbeing: Their superhero outfit is based on a Flapple.
The Cape: Deliberately namechecks the aesthetic and tone of a Silver Age superhero, playing up the campiness of hero work to gain a morale advantage. Conversely, takes the stalwart part very seriously.
Dragon Tamer: A Dragon-type monotype trainer, but uses stranger dragons than average, including a Dracozolt and Dracovish in addition to their Flapple.
Non-Powered Costumed Hero: No special abilities, and a decent trainer but not much more than that.
Odd Friendship: Apple-A-Day, the optimistic and bright superhero, is friends with taciturn necromancer Percy.
Secret Identity: Very invested in keeping their true identity secret, but nobody else really is, because very few people actually know Nasreen outside of their actions as Apple-A-Day.
Secret-Identity Identity: They seem to consider themselves more Apple-A-Day than they do Nasreen.
The Pollyanna: Very upbeat, extroverted, and kind.

Ryan

Ryan Seo

A semi-retired member of a popular boyband from Ferrum, he currently works as a deep-sea oceanographer for the Omastar Oceanographic Foundation (and has occasionally starred in the WAAPTverse [Korean] Drama Noodle Shop Princess Dreams). He is currently based in Alola.

The Casanova: He has a reputation for being a flirtatious playboy.
Celebrity Is Overrated: His status as a still-famous pop star is water off a ducklett's back for him, to the point that Recognition Failure doesn't quite insult him. He does use his fame to raise awareness of ocean life and the need for conservation.
Mean Character, Nice Actor: Downplayed with his character Doohwan in the Soap Within a Show. He plays the gruff, Troubled, but Cute, Jerk with a Heart of Gold love interest of the main female lead, which is about the opposite of his actual personality.
Nice Guy: Flirtatious tendencies aside, he's a pretty friendly dude. The Geo Soc people have him as a regular contact if ever they need anything related to oceanography.
Pretty Boy: Generally considered extremely handsome; this and his charisma and ability to sing got him into the boyband.
Pursue the Dream Job: He actually wanted to be a scientist first and seems to enjoy the lower-key fame of being a popular science [YouTuber] than he was as a pop star. Indeed, he took the boyband job to pay for grad school.
Recognition Failure: In-universe, he is a wildly popular boyband singer rivalled in universe only by BTS. People in the J-Team, however, are more likely to give him the Tony Hawk treatment.

Independent Pokémon

The Tiny Trio

A trio of three humans who happen to be artificially apotheosised into a new Weather Trio that are intermediates between "friends" and "Legendaries". Levi and Santiago were originally known as Depthcharge and Buggle respectively, but as they acquired human forms they decided to go with their human names more often.

General Tropes

Big, Thin, Short Trio: Santiago (Groudon) is Big, Vyvyan (Rayquaza) is Thin and Levi (Kyogre) is Short.
Land, Sea, Sky: By nature of being a newbie Weather Trio.
Morphic Resonance: In mon form Sandy has a chunk taken off his left knee representing the knee he crushed in a New Mauville related work accident, Levi is missing two fin tips on his right fluke, and Vyvyan keeps a burned right horn.
Was Once a Man: Were once humans before being forcibly transformed into mons for crazed Magma, Aqua, and Ozone cultists.

Vyvyan (Rayquaza)

A somewhat nervous and jumpy former Magma Grunt now Rayquaza hailing from Fallarbor town. Specializing in Psychic-type Pokemon, the majority of his Pokemon could communicate to him via telekinesis before he got the ability to talk to them.

Ascended Extra: Is based off the Grunt who complained about being too close to Mt. Chimney in Pokémon Emerald.
Child of Two Worlds: According to Word of God he's a transracial adoptee. Specifically, he grew up in an Pokéverse Irish cultural background, which can be inferred by his knowledge of Irish Gaelic and Irish slang.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Vyvyan is often confused for a girl both from his Androgynous appearance and feminine name. He gets miffed when you call him a girl though.
Deadpan Snarker: This becomes more prominent over time due to having to constantly watch over Santiago and Levi, especially Levi.
Forced Transformation: He is transformed into a Rayquaza.
The Leader: Of the second weather trio.
Straight Man: To Levi
Gender-Blender Name: Vyvyan is often a name associated with females, which causes confusion about his gender at times (though it is actually a unisex name).
Nervous Wreck: When situations become too overwhelming for him, he devolves into this. This becomes less prominent over time as he matures into his role as the leader of the new trio.
The Spock: A.k.a the Superego to Levi's Id and Santiago's Ego, being the guy right in the middle of their two temperaments.
Psychic Powers: The majority of his mons are Psychic types.

Bridget (Male Gardevoir)

Brutal Honesty: Tells it like it is, even if it's not the kindest way to put it.
Gender-Blender Name: Despite the feminine name, Bridget is a male Gardevoir.

Anja (Absol)

Cruel to Be Kind: When confronted by Tagg and his mons about betraying Vyvyan, she claims that she did it in order to prevent a psychotic breakdown upon his transformation, though the way she says it merely makes them hate her more.
Dreaming of Things to Come: Prophesies Vyvyan's morphing, and actively tries to make it happen.
The Friend Nobody Likes: No one likes Anja for what she's done regarding Vyvyan, and Tagg in particular nearly had his mons attack her upon finding her under Sol's ownership.
Manipulative Bitch: Manipulated the events that led to Vyvyan becoming a Rayquaza, including playing the normally savvy Tagg like a fiddle, which he happens to still be ashamed of years afterward as he confesses to both Lucius and Vyvyan himself during the Holonquest and Hoenn-2 arcs respectively.

Santiago (Groudon) Full Name: Santiago Baltasar Ruiz de Tierra.

The Ego: Often plays the mediator between Levi and Vyvyan.
Gentle Giant: He may be 6'4, but he's a big softie.
The Old Country: Talks about his past in PokéOaxaca like this.
Older Than They Look: Despite his young looking human body, he's actually middle-aged in human years.
South of the Border: Hails from the Pokeverse equivalent of Oaxaca.
Trauma Conga Line: Let's see, he originally was part of the New Mauville Project in order to support his family in PokéMexico, only to lose his job, get captured by Magma cultists and have his starter most likely murdered by their hands, loses his memory in the transformation, and only learns all this after he ends up going to a secret basement in Mauville decades later.

Levi, formerly known as Depthcharge (Kyogre) Full Name: Y'hoshua ben Yitzhak haLevi (Joshua I. Levi)

Big Eater: Has a legendarily voracious appetite.
The Casanova: Is mentioned to have a long string of sexual encounters, but doesn't persue anyone who isn't immortal for a long term relationship.
Collector of the Strange: A bit of a hoarder. His grotto has everything from rusty, empty tin cans to sunken treasure.
Extreme Libido: Is described by Sandy and Vyvyan as having "a 50 year old's lust and a 21 year old's libido".
The Friend Nobody Likes: Has this reputation amongst the legendaries as a whole due to his obnoxious and annoying attitude. Though he is on good terms with Santiago and Xerneas.
The Id: The most impulsive and rash of the trio, as well as the most emotional.
Jewish and Nerdy: Despite not having any typical "nerdy" traits. The only bigger JoJo's Bizarre Adventure nerd you'll find is his sister.
Leeroy Jenkins: Is the most impulsive out of the trio.
Lovable Sex Maniac: Openly and unabashedly horny, but otherwise a very charming and pleasant (if somewhat obnoxious) individual.
Manchild: Is woefully immature for his age, much to the chagrin of the other legendaries (especially Yveltal).
Genius Ditz: Isn't the most booksmart guy and is rather crass and petty, but has shown to be quite skilled in stuff like metalwork.
Older Than They Look: Like Santiago, he is frozen in a 21 year old's body and mentality despite being 52 years old.
Pretty Boy: Is quite pretty in appearance, even if his immature personality is a turnoff for most people.
Really Gets Around: Is noted for pursuing sexual encounters with just about anyone, mortal or divine, with no accounting for taste.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With all birds, but especially Yveltal and the Wingull line.
Street Smart: He's shown to be more in tune to his surroundings and pragmatic than he lets on.

Legendaries

General Tropes

Animalistic Abomination: The weather, creation, and vitality trios, beings representing laws of nature that manifest in bestial forms.
Beware the Silly Ones: Despite being as a whole rather silly, they can act decisively if needed.
Good Is Not Soft: Purged the Alakagross civilization for their callous disregard of other species and the deaths of the weather trio.
Holy Is Not Safe: The legendaries are good, and many are even friendly, but they're still beings of mass destruction that should not be trifled with.
Immortality: Most are of the never-dying variety.
King of All Cosmos: As a whole, they have some odd quirks ranging from Groudon's gaming habit to Oblivia's Articuno being a Reshiram fangirl and more. They do tend to play this down in front of most non-J-Team mortals, however, to keep a certain gravitas.
Olympus Mons: Natch.

Arceus

All Your Powers Combined: Has the powers of all the other legendaries.
Big Good: Is the greatest force of good in the setting, though he's rarely seen.

God: Is the creator diety of the Pokeverse.

Mewtwo

The Call Knows Where You Live: Is the first legendary the proto J-Team meets as a whole.
Dark and Troubled Past: Presumably, if his past is any similar to Anime!Mewtwo's
Dressing as the Enemy: The only sane explanation for wearing a woman's one-piece bathing suit. while in the Glitch Building.
Mercy Kill: Intended to do this to Missingno.
The Stoic: Mewtwo doesn't emote much.
Training from Hell: Gives this to Gamer to help him become a more powerful psychic.
Voo Doo Shark: It's hard to explain why Mewtwo's even here. Eventually we learn that he was trying to help his 'brother' Missingno, though not by helping him rule the world.
The Watcher: Watched over the proto J-Team in the earlier arcs.
What Happened to the Mouse?: Mewtwo inexplicably disappears at the end of the fifth arc.

Palkia

Ascended Extra: Pretty much can be called a Main Character in her own right.
The Alcoholic: Has gotten drunk on at least two occasions. Her hangovers are particularly brutal to the fabric of space.
Ambiguous Gender: Eventually revealed to be female, at least in mentality.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Missingno ends up possessing her.
Does This Make Me Look Fat?: Jane makes a comment about Palkia's tail. Palkia then proceeds to ask if she means that she's fat.
Draconic Abomination: When her true form is glimpsed in Northern Shadow in battle with the Ur-Glitch, it takes the form of spheres in the shape of a dragon with infinite mass and volume.
Face–Heel Turn: Due to Missingno possession, though it wears off once it's defeated.
Hartman Hips: Has ridiculously proportioned hips.

Dialga

Draconic Abomination: When Tagg and co meet him in the Temporal World during the Ranger-2 Arc, he appears as a vaguely draconic shaped dark blue mass covered in a seemingly infinite amount of diamonds.
Elective Unintelligible: Originally it seems that he can only communicate in loud SKREEEEEEEEEEEs when there is no Psychic type present, but it's hinted and outright stated that he can speak just fine and just does it for amusement.
Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous: At first, though nowadays Dialga appears to use masculine pronouns.
Batman Gambit:
- Sending DS to the dimension where the legendaries were imprisoned, making sure she ends up where the Lake Trio would find her. This lead to DS joining the Lake Trio in their search for Palkia, eventually finding the petrified Palkia and the Lustrous Orb not far away from her. DS uses the Lustrous Orb to restore Palkia to normal, allowing the five of them to escape from the dimension just in time for the final battle.
- Considering how long Tagg has had the Adamant Orb, the weird circumstances in which he got it, and its use in the final battles of the Unova-1 and AU arcs, Dialga was most likely using him in one as well.
Bold Inflation: Much like his sister when he actually feels like talking he talks in constant bold font.
Brainwashed and Crazy: Twice, first by Missingno, and then by Cyrus.
Face–Heel Turn: Twice, due to mind control.
Fighting from the Inside: In the alternate timeline arc, he manages to do this long enough to save DS' life when Cyrus orders him to destroy her.

Time Abyss: Like in the Pokédex, Dialga is about as old as time itself.

Super Mode: Takes on her Primal form during the Hoenn-2 arc with the help of Tagg in order to destroy Zrone's Sectopod.

The Rival: Is Groudon's main rival.
Time Abyss: Is as old as the oceans.

Darkrai and Cresselia

Amnesiac Dissonance: Darkrai is really just a 'big mushy pushover', but went through a phase where he tried to blow up the universe. And then he contracted amnesia.
Bratty Teenage Daughter: Cresselia
Deliver Us from Evil: Darkrai says that he created Cresselia to counter all the nightmares he kept giving.
- Cresselia may have lied about this, seeing as a book on the history of the Dream World seems to contradict Cresselia's claims.
Luke, I Might Be Your Father: Darkrai claims to be Cresselia's father, but a book in the Dream World library refers to Darkrai as Cresselia's brother, leaving their relationship ambiguous.
Odd Friendship: Darkrai and Lyuri can look like this sometimes, they don't look particularly close, but Lyuri acts in a very casual way around him and he enjoys her company.
Sink or Swim Fatherhood: Darkrai
Valley Girl: Cresselia talks like this.

Manaphy (PMD arc Manaphy and Oblivia arc Manaphy)

Badass Adorable: PMD arc Manaphy is one, it is currently unknown if Oblivia arc Manaphy will grow up to be one as well.
Egg Macguffin: Oblivia arc Manaphy starts out as one of these, and shortly after hatching is abducted by Pokémon Pinchers. Trying to find and rescue him from the Pinchers becomes the main focus of the Oblivia arc.
"Freaky Friday" Flip: PMD arc Manaphy was never shown using his Heart Swap attack, but the Oblivia arc Manaphy used it twice. First at the beginning of the Oblivia arc shortly after hatching, accidentally causing Anom and Wolf to switch bodies and again near the end to switch them back.
Making a Splash: Water type.
What Happened to the Mouse?: PMD Manaphy's subplot in the PMD arc was not resolved on-screen, and so it had to be mentioned to have happened off-screen. Lampshaded when PMD Manaphy makes a cameo appearance later on and mentions that he doesn't really remember how his friends were rescued from Missingno.

Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf

The Empath: Mesprit
The Hecate Sisters: Azelf is the Maiden, Mesprit is the Mother, and Uxie is the Crone.

Knight in Shining Armor: All four act as knights in the classical sense.
Manchild: Terrakion and Keldeo both enjoy watching juvenile television programs, despite being centuries old.
Parental Abandonment: Both of Keldeo's parents are thought to have died when their home was destroyed. This later turns out to be only half true when his father shows up to help the heroes.
Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous: At first, though like in anime canon Cobalion, Terrakion, and Keldeo are mentally male, and Virizion female.
Pronoun Trouble: Virizion gave the proto-J-Team issues over her gender.

Gentle Giant: Despite his size and fearsome reputation, he's actually a really nice guy.
An Ice Person: Ice type, natch.
Once Done, Never Forgotten: Kyurem seems to find it somewhat annoying that people in Lacunosa Town still think he eats people.
Power Incontinence: Has a few problems with his ice powers leaking out, which occasionally causes him to accidentally freeze some of his belongings, as well as his own body.
The Unintelligible: To everyone who doesn't have a Mind of Crystal, though in the PMD-B timeline he's figured out how to talk with other beings.
To Serve Man: Used to be a human eater, but that was a really long time ago.

Forced Transformation: Walt created the Magic Mirror, only to become trapped within it and be transformed into a Darkrai.
Shout-Out: To Walt Disney and his animations.

Kantonian Zapdos

The Zapdos of Kanto and Johto, Kat's Cubone tribe reveres him as their patron deity.

Mad God: He was captured by Cipher and Shadowed, but while he managed to get purified, his mind was never quite the same since, and so the local Cubone around Route 9 risk death to supply them with meds for his mental illness.
Psycho Electro: A very violent Electric-type when off his meds.

Heatran of Mt. Battle

The Atoner: The eruption at Mt. Battle over a thousand years ago? He caused it in an angry fit over how humans would fight and killed over (and using) the metals he gifted them. This created the Eclo Wastes, and now he seeks to return the wastes to their former form; pasture.
Badass in Distress: Was captured and Shadowed due to him holding back against a Shadowed Regina. This causes Mt Battle to basically "shut down", causing it to go dormant.
Playing with Fire: As is expected from a Heatran, he uses Fire-type moves, right down to his signature "Magma Storm".

Xerneas

Big Eater: According to Yveltal, and as seen in the Santiago walkabout, Xerneas is actually quite the big eater.
Captain Ersatz: His personality is partially based on that of Uncle Iroh with a few dashes of Merlin.

Yveltal

Giant Flyer: A large bird with a 14 foot wingspan.
Hair-Trigger Temper: As a death and destruction deity it's not very hard to set her off, especially if you cheat, manipulate, or tease her in some way.
Dark Is Not Evil: Despite not being the nicest of mons, Yveltal is ultimately good. Tagg points out that her sphere not only encompasses destruction, but change.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Is snarky, sassy, and temperamental, but ultimately has a soft side deep down... Which is why she's aligned with Hearts of Gold.
Otherworldly and Sexually Ambiguous: She's the closest a Legendary of her sort can get to femmefluid (genderfluid leaning female); while typically female in voice and personality she sometimes identifies as male and those change accordingly.
Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: With Straw and Levi, for different reasons; Straw for repeatedly inadvertently cheating death, and Levi for reasons initially related to perceiving him as a threat to her relationship with Salvador and worsened by teasing on his end.
Tsundere: Reconstructed via being closer to the more traditional/original meaning of the term. Around those she's not familiar with (or Anthony), she can be quite cavalier and harsh. However, towards those she's more familiar and comfortable with (Like Salvador or Xerneas) she's a lot more soft and cordial.
Voluntary Shapeshifting: Takes the form of a human named Yvonne (or Yvan when male) or more innocuous birdmons like Murkrow or Starly to interact with mortals more discreetly.

Zygarde

Asteroids Monster: Can turn into a horde of Dunsparce if necessary.

The Mew

Multiple Mew exist within the WAAPT universe, with varying personalities and reputations.

Mew Prime

The first Mew the J-Team meets, who turned Crewe into a human when she was a baby.

Defrosting Ice Queen: Prolonged interactions with J-Teamers have served to make her warmer and more considerate than she used to be.
Expy: Her tendency to change people and mons in the name of helping them, but only making things worse, is heavily based on Lucinda the fairy.
Freudian Excuse: Her own flashbacks reveal that she tried to be closer to mortal mons before discovering their mortality, which made her more detached over the centuries.
Genetic Engineering Is the New Nuke: While all Mew have the ability to alter the genome of other mons and humans as well as themselves, Mew Prime is the most skilled we've seen yet in WAAPT. For instance, part of the deception she did in order for people not to ask questions regarding Crewe's heritage was to give her the genetic profile of a potential child of her adoptive parents.
Pet the Dog: Her reason for turning Crewe the Sneasel into a human in the first place was because she took pity on an almost blind baby mon who probably wouldn't have survived for long in the wild.
What the Hell, Hero?: The J-Team isn't all that happy when they find out about her habit of "helping" people and what it did to Crewe in particular, even if it did end up saving the latter's life.

Snowman

A shiny Mew who was Sol's prize in the Gold Conference.

Manipulative Bastard: Out of all the known Mew in WAAPT, she's the closest to outright amoral, having manipulated even Sol in the past for her own purposes.

Starkeeper

The Mew of Holon, and a natural Delta Pokémon.

All Your Powers Combined: Has Multitype, similar to Arceus.
My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Unlike most other Mew she's far more levelheaded.

Bartelby

My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Has a disdain for most other Mew for being troublemakers, though Starkeeper and technically Mewtwo are notable exceptions.
The Power of Love: Despite being grouchy and disdainful he's a huge beliver in this, though in a broader way than one might assume at first glance that, among other things, includes The Power of Friendship as well.

The Okamlatii Trio

A trio consisting of Waka the Latios, Kaguya the Shiny Latias, and Kiki the Latias, named for the former two's ties to the Moon Tribe and Celestials.

Waka

Kaguya

Kiki

The Greninja Squad

The GreNinja Squad

A group of Froakie line Pokémon started by Teishi. They train to be effective ninjas but for the most they are just a group of friends doing stuff together that just happens to be ninja-themed for the most part. Due to how Teishi is one of Sakura's Pokémon, this group is frequently around the J-Team.

The Squad in general

Badass Family: Ryu, Strider and Sub-Zero are all Sensei's children and Teishi was also adopted by him when he was still an egg.
Barrier Change Boss: Teishi, Ryu, Rana and Shadow all have the Protean ability.
Casting a Shadow: They're all part Dark.
Making a Splash: They're all part Water.
Ninja: Their M.O
True Companions: They never let each other down.

Teishi

See here under Sakura's Pokémon.

Ryu

Deadpan Snarker: Probably the most sharp-witted of the Squad.
Foil: Acts as one for Teishi, being calmer, serious, relaxed in contrast to his leader's more excitable, cheerful and energetic nature.
Playing with Fire: His Hidden Power is of the Fire type, as such he's the only one of the team that can turn into the Fire type.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Teishi's Red.
Shout-Out: His name, to Ryu Hayabusa.

Sub-Zero

An Ice Person: He has a preference for Ice type moves, despite lacking the Protean ability.
Cheerful Child: Like Teishi, he's a very friendly and optimistic, always finding a reason to be cheerful.
The Ditz: Not to the point of being dumb, but he's clearly not as sharp as the others.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red to Strider's Blue.
Shout-Out: His name, to Mortal Kombat.

Strider

Foil: He rarely speaks and usually keeps a deadpan expression in contrast to the talkative and always cheerful Sub-Zero.
The Quiet One: He gets the fewest lines out of everyone in the Squad.
Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue to Sub-Zero's Red.
Shout-Out: His name, to Strider Hiryuu
The Strategist: His role in the team
Trap Master: Part of what makes him the strategist is that he's good at coming with traps and ambush strategies.

Shadow

One of the Kids: He's an adult in comparison to the rest of the Squad, who are around teenagers. Despite this, he still follows Teishi's commands.
Secret-Keeper: Kept everything about Sensei hidden from the Squad until he was ready to reveal everything himself.
Shout-Out: His name is one to the character of same "name" in Final Fantasy VI
The Trickster: He has a tendency of being very uncooperative and misleading just to confuse everyone.
Unreliable Narrator: When answering some of Ryu's questions, he usually kept the answers hidden between vague statements.

Other Pokémon

Cleffa

A Cleffa from the Dream World who happens to be friends with Tagg, though not an official member of his team.

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Is known by her job description rather than her real name.

Lustrix

A golden Noctowl. When Slouch and his team found themselves inexplicably lost in the Mystery Zone, he was the one to send them home. Since then, he has screwed with them in various ways.

Meaningful Name: Lustre (meaning a radiant shine) + Strix (a genus of owl, also a bird of ill omen in Greek mythology)

Four Gods: He's named after the Azure Dragon of Chinese mythology.

The Nose Knows: Identifies Chiyo as a School experiment by her scent.
