NPCs, short for Non-Playable Characters, are characters pivotal to the story that players, well, can't play. You know what they are, and here is our own slew of 'em. Given that there will be a decent amount of them, Gym Leaders, Judges, Battle Heads, and the Elites will have their own topic.

Use the find command (CTRL+F if you're using a PC) to get to each section.

Important

Name: Charles Anthony Eden
Age: 48
Hometown: Acoustica, Cryto
Occupation: Prime Minister; Lawyer
Description: [ Image ]
~ Hair Color: Brown
~ Eye Color: Brown
~ Physical Description:
Charles Anthony Eden is a comely man for his age, and rather young looking to boot. Eden has always been a handsome man, although his handsomeness tended to stem from a more down-to-earth and realistic sense then that of a movie star or model. He is handsome because he was normal, as strange as it sounds, and he has retained this even in his middle age. This is enhanced by the fitness he keeps himself in; he runs several miles per day, and often lifts weights as well. He was, after all, a freedom fighter at one point, and he has retained the necessary build for such an occupation even into the days of peace. His wife, Lillian, has commented that she's always enjoyed that about Eden, especially since often they run together in the mornings.

His hair is still full, with no signs of receding or graying, despite his age. He keeps his hair rather messy, too, adding to the age betrayal. He has no facial hair, keeping himself well groomed and trimmed at all times. He religiously shaves, and often will do so twice in the day to avoid a five o'clock shadow. Likewise, his barber has a seat ready for him, every third Tuesday of the month; he is quite punctual about his hair cuts.

Eden is nearly always seen in a finely pressed suit of some sort, preferring darker colors of black and navy. He rarely, however, wears a tie, feeling that they make him seem too old, and disliking the noose-like feeling around his neck. Given his line of work and history, this is hardly unexpected. Also, he often keeps another pair of glasses in his jacket or back pocket, in case the first pair breaks.

Biography:
Charles Anthony Eden has a charismatic personality, often joked about being so magnetic that he is unable to carry credit cards. He had a natural talent for working with people, and working them as well. However, he is never overt, and rarely intentional in this. He simply has a natural talent for swinging people to his point of view. These traits have given him an advantage in both of his career choices, though he more or less fell into both of them.

Before Team Rocket arrived in Cryto, Eden was a fairly successful lawyer who had not once considered a political career. And, before that, he more or less fell into the legal field when he signed up for pre-law on a whim that may have been due to him being under the influence of alcohol from a college party. However, he dutifully followed his drunken choices, eventually graduating at the top of his class and moving into a full legal program soon after.

Known for his unorthodox and showman antics, Charles was a man of extremes; he either gave something his all or never gave it a thought at all. And, perhaps fittingly, he was a man whom was either loved or hated, never in between. However, no one could deny his love of justice, even if he pursued it in a truly strange way some times. However, when the rule of law became meaningless in Cryto, Eden became increasingly agitated by the lack of action.

So, he did something about it. He joined a long time friend from his college days by the unfortunate name of Leonard Beatz. The rest, as they say, is history. Eden has served for some years now, and with no real challengers it seems that he may remain the Prime Minister for many years to come. Although opinion is sometimes divided about his peculiar style, and he is still often seen as either loved or hated, no one can deny that Cryto has, under his tenure, thrived. And, with any luck, it will continue to thrive for quite some time.

Pokémon:

Species: Kylosor
Gender: Male

--------------------------------

Name: Lillian Eden
Maiden Name: Jones
Age: 46
Hometown: Allegretto Grotto, Cryto
Occupation:
Description: [ Image ]
~ Hair Color: Blonde
~ Eye Color: Hazel Green
~ Physical Description: “As beautiful as the day I met her thirty years ago,” is how Prime Minister Eden describes his wife. She’s tall and svelte, her pale skin always appearing perfect, and often showing off her long legs. She’s proud of how she’s kept herself up over the years, and being the wife of the Prime Minister, she considers it her duty to her husband to keep up her appearances. Lillian is rather reserved, and her face reflects that; she has barely a wrinkle anywhere, and she never smiles more than a gentle sliver of a grin. Her eyebrows, delicate and shaped to perfection, often reflect her emotions more than anything else. Few guess her to be in her mid-forties, and even though it is well known that she is, most are still astonished by her young appearance.
~ Attire: Usually lovely dresses in pale tones that compliment her. She often wears blues and lavenders; occasionally she’ll wear something in taupe or red. It depends on the occasion, of course. She’s rarely found in casual attire, or even pants.
~ Items:
Personality: Appearances are rather important to Lillian, so showing her emotions is almost out of the question for her. She’s reserved, some consider almost too reserved, and many consider her to be cold. However, in person, she can be surprisingly pleasant and comforting, however given her tendency to lean more towards a private lifestyle, few have had the chance to meet her in a relaxed setting.
Biography/History:
Pokémon:
Nickname: Gentleman
Species: Rapidash
Gender: Male
Nature: Bold
Personality: Gentleman is Lillian’s only Pokémon, given to her by Charles when he became Prime Minister. He serves as her body guard, as well as a “getaway car”, and friend. He is very protective over her, and wary of strangers. He will often stand up against her, or even in front of her, when others approach. He has been known to attack people when he feels that Lillian is being threatened.
Level: 50
Attacks: Fire Blast, Bounce, Agility, Poison Jab, Take Down, Protect
Pokéball: Ultra Ball



Professors

Name: Ilan Hickory
Age: 28
Hometown: Allegretto Grotto, Cryto
Occupation: Pokémon Professor – Specializes in Pokémon and Environment Relations
Description: { Image }
~ Hair Color: Deep purple
~ Eye Color: Deep blue
~ Physical Description: Standing at 5’ 9” and slender in build, Hickory is the type of tall, skinny geek that actually attracts women. He has slim muscles, usually working out with Mister’s help (he counts for him, and occasionally spots) every day when he isn’t researching Pokémon, or trying to snag women. One wouldn't think that though, by his simple and sweet expression and usual attire. There is a tattoo on his left shoulder in his father’s memory, as his father died during the War. It is rare to actually see this tattoo, however, unless you have “been with him”.
~ Attire: It's rare to catch Hickory without his beloved lab coat, sweater vests, and dress pants. Actually, unless one is in bed with him, it's almost impossible. He normally wears hues of grays, and on cold days he has a beloved beige cashmere scarf he adorns.
~ Items: An upgraded pokédex that can take data that is entered in the system itself, and has the ability to update other pokédexes, a pocket journal, a penlight, a small camera, and his cell phone. Often has another notebook full of phone numbers and first names. There are reports of hair gel being hidden in an inner pocket of his labcoat.
Personality: Hickory can be summed up in one word; playboy. For all of his intelligence and dedication to his field of work, he loves women. He’s full of himself, and sure of himself as well, and most of all he’s extremely confident around women. Most women simply melt with his smooth tone and sweet smile, and the few that don’t cave so easily intrigue him. Much like those hard-to-get females of exclusion, Pokémon intrigue him as well. Particularly, how Pokémon affect the environment around him. He is a surprisingly diligent researcher and professor, often going out into the wilderness for days in order to document a foreign pokémon’s effect on the biological balance of Cryto.

Even if he is amazingly cocky, Hickory attempts to be cordial to even the least "cooth" of society. He has a bit of a dismissive personality to other researchers, if anything he enjoys knocking the esteemed haughty ones off their pedestals and making them “work for their title”. This is probably due to his young age, and how much he was ridiculed when he took up the job as head professor in the Cryto region.
Biography/History: Hickory was born in Allegretto Grotto to two teachers, Harry and Elaina Hickory. They taught science and chemistry at the local college, and raised their son to yearn for knowledge, and with a desire to understand how the world works. When the War broke out, Ilan was five, and his father was killed in the final battle at Octavania. As the world was destroyed, and slowly reshaped, Ilan watched in awe as his entire world changed slowly, and this was mainly due to the action of Pokémon.

With the Rockets, foreign Pokémon were brought into Cryto, and upset the ecology of their world. Eventually, Cryto and her native Pokémon adapted; Hickory found this adaptation to be a very unique instance in the geological evolution of an area, and decided to dedicate his life into researching how Pokémon affect the world they live in.

Hickory attended college where his mother still teaches chemistry, Barton U, and graduated with a doctorate in Pokémon sciences at the age of 24. He immediately relocated to Capo Beach, and purchased the old laboratory that hadn’t been renovated since shortly after the war. He started work on creating his own lab, first by rebuilding it, and then by setting it up so it was a fully functioning lab, worthy of being the “main” laboratory recognized in the Pokémon League as one to give out the starter Pokémon. He figured that if the borders were ever opened, as the thought was being tossed around back then, that the outsiders would once again shock Cryto’s environment; and thereby be a prime time to be researching about it. Four years later, he got his wish, and the borders opened up. Hickory has gathered a good stock of “starter” Pokémon, in preparation for the new trainers to arrive.
Pokémon:
Nickname: Mister
Species: Mothim
Gender: Male
Nature: Timid
Personality: Mister is Hickory’s main guide to the Pokémon world, and beloved friend. It was incidental that he ended up with Mister; however, as originally Hickory had sent a trade off for a female Burmy, as Burmy’s have a unique ability where the environment affects them. However, once he received Mister, he came to the sudden realization that he had received, by mistake, a male Burmy. Mister is rather quiet and doesn’t seem to enjoy strangers very much, so often he floats about outside of the lab, staying clear from the “intruders”. He usually has a popsicle stick of honey in his clutch.
Level: 27
Attacks: Protect, Bug Bite, Hidden Power, Psychic, Aerial Ace, Natural Gift
Pokéball: Park Ball (as it was a system trade)

Enforcement

Name: Detective Sebastian Heart
Age: 32
Hometown:
Occupation: Detective with the IP (International Police)
Description: { Image }
~ Hair Color: Dark Green
~ Eye Color: Brown, Nearly Black
~ Physical Description: A few inches north of 6’ and weighing in around 260 lbs., Detective Heart is an imposing man with square frame and head. His muscles make up most of his mass, both acquired from his job and “stress relief”. He keeps an even, pale-ish skin tone, likely due to long-sleeved shirts and overcoats. There are scars on his left shoulder, three bullet holes, and another bullet scar on his posterior right thigh. He often reeks of smoke, no matter how much aftershave he applies.
~ Attire: White button-up long-sleeved shirt, black or gray tie, black pants, brown overcoat, and very, very worn red sneakers; simple as that.
~ Items: Detective’s badge, semi-automatic Springfield XD Service model 4” pistol, small vertical-flip notebook with leather case, old flip cellphone (used very, very rarely), and one handy swiss army knife.
Personality: Known for his grumpy disposition and choppy sentences, Det. Heart comes off as an ass. His smoking habit doesn’t help much, either. He likes to keep things simple, his relationships uncomplicated, and his associates few. Given he speaks so little about himself, there isn’t much else to say about Det. Heart.
Biography/History: REDACTED.

“I’m a detective, I don’t need to tell you about myself. You tell me about you; that’s how it works.”
Pokémon:
Nickname: Bob
Species: Aggron
Gender: Male
Nature: Relaxed
Personality: Bob is the strong, silent type. Bob is also the strong arm. Bob likes Skitties.
Level: 50
Ability: Sturdy
Attacks: REDACTED.
Pokéball: Heal Ball (wasn’t his choice, was “the little girl’s”.)

Nickname: Evelyn
Species: Lopunny
Gender: Female
Nature: Adamant
Personality: Evelyn is a former actress, having left the industry for “personal reasons”. She now serves as Det. Heart’s secretary. Given her ability to fluently speak Human, it is often that people do not realize the woman on the other end of the line is a Lopunny. She is known for her persistent attitude and cunning wit, and often plays the mediator for Det. Heart and anyone else.
Level: 34
Ability: Cute Charm
Attacks: REDACTED.
Pokéball: Premier Ball with Starburst seals
