APPEARANCE --



At first glance, Maltensia doesn't seem all that strange. Sure, she might dress like a reject from some bygone grunge era, but that's just her personal style. Her clothes have definitely seen better days; their bagginess hiding her body beneath draping capes and formless dresses. And sure, maybe she could afford to pick out a few more colours than black. However, it helps her keep to herself, blending into the shadows and becoming unrecognizable at a moment's notice.



Seemingly blessed with creamy, pale skin, it is clear she hasn't spent a lot of time in the sun. Unfortunately, this paleness isn't pretty so much as sickly. Any scratch or bruise seems to show up like a beacon on her flesh - unnaturally blackish-purple. Particularly, it betrays the fact that she hasn't gotten a good night's sleep in a while; contrasting milkiness with dark bags beneath slightly sunken eyes.



Another hint that something might be off is her hair; a short, pixie-bob, is streaked rather than natural. Dark black it almost seems blue, tipped with purple at it's spiky ends. But hey, people dye their hair all the time! Perhaps what worries people the most is the fact that she keeps her eyes hidden behind dark tinted sunglasses. According to her, it is to protect delicate corneas from a 'sun allergy'. What they hide, though, are odd-coloured irises; a crimson colour that seems unnatural.



However, it's as simple to prove her less-than-human nature simply by looking at her feet. Clad in ever-comfortable combat boots, she strangely never leaves footprints when she walks. And while she is scarecrow tall and assuredly thin beneath her layers of clothing, it has nothing to do with lightness of frame. In fact, the careful eye will notice that her feet doesn't even tough the ground. While she does walk, her feet are always at most an inch to a foot above the ground.



PERSONALITY --



Anyone meeting her for the first time could say that there are two 'attitudes' at war within Maltensia, which makes up her everyday morality. Deep down, she is a genuinely good person - wanting to believe the best in people and Pokemon, despite how many times she has been proven wrong. As seen in her past, she's witness genuine 'evil' and closed-mindedness, but unless she gets a strong 'vibe' about someone, she'll give anyone a chance. Despite her dark exterior - she believes in doing good, and being repaid threefold for every action she does.



At the same time, this knowledge of a darker side of human nature has left her jaded and defensive - while she'll give others the benefit of the doubt, it might be harder for others to do the same for her. Perhaps it's her inherent gothicness, or general teenage bitchitude, but she tends to talk in sarcastic comments and put-upon sighs. She doesn't have time for people who ask too many questions, or prattle on about their own problems. Honestly, most of their problems are pretty small compared to the things she's seen. She may only be eighteen, but she's seen a lot. Even trying to think the best of people fails her occasionally. She is likely to test the steadiest of nerves.



To those who have been made privy to her unique status, one might wonder exactly home much of her personality has been influenced by her Pokemon side. Indeed, it enhances a sort of animal essence to her attitude - making her more prone to sarcastic outbursts, or desires to test people to see if they're worthy of keeping around. The Misdreavus in her adds an aura of manipulative to her - after all, before the bonding, they [the Pokemon] was much older than her human host. Misdreavus, in natural form, feed on fear and misery; while the human-formed Maltensia doesn't need to, there's a bit of her that enjoys watching even the people she wants to help squirm a bit. 



Or is it all the left-over Pokemon nature? It's hard to say, as Maltensia hasn't spent a lot of time around people as of late. Perhaps she is naturally suspicious of getting too close, even though deep down she knows that everyone needs, if not deserves, a second chance. She has been raised to be self-reliant, and even though she starting to try and break her old habits, they are not easy to toss aside.



HISTORY --



Maltensia'd love to talk about her mother and father, but seeing as she has no clue who they are, it'd be rather pointless. She was a basket case - as in, she was unceremoniously dumped on the steps of an orphanage when she was just a few days old. Sad, maybe,but you can't really miss something that you've never had. She doesn't miss her parents, because as far as she's concerned they never existed. 



It wasn't like she grew up in a horror-house, either. She was a normal kid, living with other normal kids, who just happened to not have parents. Around the time she turned ten, she was adopted out to help an old woman who lived in a cottage on her own; told she could do some washing and cleaning for the lady, who couldn't get around any more. At this point, her thus far incredibly mundane life was about to change. For the woman she was adopted by wasn't your ordinary tea-totaling granny. She experienced in mixing herbs and berries, essentially making homemade medicines and treats for Pokemon. It would be a stretch to call her a genuine Pokewitch herself, as she relied heavily on not only Maltensia to aid in her mixing, but her Pokemon partner, a Misdreavus named Contessa.



For the most part, Maltensia loved her job; feeling like this woman (Mother Birch) was her very own flesh and blood. And she liked caring for Pokemon. Unfortunately, this experience was not meant to last. Throughout history, people are known to be suspicious of lone, powerful women - and Mother Birch was no different. While this caused them to practically live in solitary confinement, they weren't written off the map. One day, while Maltensia had wandered off to gather berries, she returned home to find that someone has set the cottage ablaze.



Fearing for her guardian's life, she entered the cottage, and her short life (being eleven at the time) was nearly ended. She was rescued by Contessa, who...while injured herself in battling for her owner's life, summoned enough strength to bring the child out with her. Mother Birch, unfortunately, was already dead; and Maltensia was orphaned a second time.



Once the fire died out, Maltensia, burned and depressed, was left to pick up the pieces with Contessa - as much as they could take. Neither knew what they could do now; unsure if they could move on, ill and injured as they were. Whoever came up with their next step, whether it was the girl or the screech Pokemon herself, Maltensia does not remember. Unable to fight, and inexperienced with the world, they decided upon a sort of Faustian bargain; Maltensia could be cared for, if she allowed Contessa some possession. Together, rather than apart, they could pool their strength. 



The result was rather complex; Maltensia took on characteristic of the screech Pokemon, and while she no longer physically had a Pokemon to help her, she was given the promise that she'd never be alone again. The possession had unsuspected side effects, such as a change in her physical stature as well as possession of some weakened Pokemon powers. But, taking what she learned from her surrogate grandmother, Maltensia set out into the world to learn more about herself, eventually coming to where she is today, deciding herself safe to brace society once more.



Pokemorph Information --



          While the method for her transformation into a Pokemon is not typical, Maltensia is similar in many ways to other morphs. There is no hope of her ever being separated from Contessa's spirit. Essentially, the possession was meant to bind them together to mutually heal them; but it leaves them bound. Maltensia has spent her formative, teenage years bound to her Pokemon side; to split them up, or allow them distance from each other would probably mean to leave her with the knowledge and strength of a ten year old. And the Pokemon side would no longer be able to form a physical body anyways.



When the possession was originally formed, Contessa essentially lent her strength and a few of her powers to live on in Maltensia. While she childishly hoped to have a bit of Contessa's nature left with her, almost a voice of reason to converse with, this did not happen. Their personas essentially blended; what was completely Maltensia and what was completely Contessa is indistinguishable. The only noticeable ticks or traits that are specifically influenced by her Pokemorph nature are the fact that she can perform certain spell-like 'moves' similar to Contessa's former Move-set:

Psywave - Weak ability to distract opponents without touching them.



Shadow Ball - Conjure small amount of darkness for short period, roughly palm-sized.



Hex - Give opponent a pain without touching them, like a light, distracting pinch.



Power Gem - Conjure small amount of light for short period, roughly palm-sized.





This is hardly strange, as other Pokemorphs are able to access Pokemon-like powers as well. 



One might wonder how desperate, or frightened Maltensia might have been to willingly allow Contessa to possess her. However, at that moment, she had lost essentially the only mother she had, and risked losing another; Contessa was already an older Pokemon, and having lost her trainer, she wasn't sure if she wanted to continue on either. The possession was a mutual decision - in this way, Contessa's personal essence, as well as Maltensia's physical body was allowed to heal itself quicker. From time to time, mostly in the early days of possession, Maltensia claimed to feel an almost mental 'hug' from the parasitic relationship, but over the years they things have settled, and the bond is basically that of a regular Pokemorphs. In her desperation at the time, Maltensia assumed that allowing Contessa to possess her would mean she'd never be lonely again, but while that has not been exactly the case, it has provided her with a unique feeling of protection and aided her in not feeling completely helpless as she was growing up.

COMPANION

Primus

Species: Axew
Gender: Female
Level: 4
Ability: Mold Breaker
Moves: Scratch | Leer
Nature: Quite the spitfire with a sharp tongue, this dragon has a bone to pick with the world... and every dragon that lives within it. Finding her own kind to be distasteful and brutish, she refuses to be seen on their level and absolutely despises the idea of working or-- far worse-- mating with any of them. Although, even if the subjects around her aren't dragons, she is still just as saucy as she normally is. She always wants things to go her way when she wants them. And if she doesn't get that, she's never afraid to resort to violence.

Munkstrap

Species: Liepard
Gender: Male
Level: 20
Ability: Limber
Moves: Torment | Feint Attack | Fury Swipes | Pay Day
Nature: Munkstrap is a born leader, who knows just when to take control and what to say to motivate his fellow teammates. Working in a group that's full of some real characters, he seems to instinctively know the right thing to do to play and manipulate their strengths and weaknesses. He is an intellectual, with smart comebacks, who's always ready for a good debate and lending a comforting ear. He will fight, but he prefers to use his words and try to talk his way out of problems; and he is eloquent enough that sometimes, he may even succeed.

Caspian

Species: Espeon
Gender: Male
Level: 14
Ability: Synchronize
Moves: Swift | Tackle | Dazzling Gleam | Quick Attack
Nature: He has an ice cold personality. He dislikes people and Pokemon other than his team, family, or trainer. This young Espeon is usually by himself, thinking about things that no one knows about. He often feels like no one understands him in the world, therefore hating the world itself. He just wishes for someone to understand him one day. Maybe then he will be truly happy. However, thus far he is very stand-offish, and doesn't engage with the other Pokemon on Mal's team, preferring to keep from making connections with people will stop him from being hurt.

Ability: Illusion
Moves: Night Slash | Fury Swipes | Foul Play | Feint Attack
Nature: A trickster through and through. Loves playing innocent jokes on fellow teammates and strangers alike though is incredibly kind-hearted. Gets very upset if any of his jokes or pranks are taken the wrong way, and will mope until forgiven. Loves getting head scratches, and is very doglike and eager to please his trainer. Occasionally he likes to try and get Mistoffelees to play with him; however the cat wants nothing to do with him. In an attempt to engage the Purrloin, he sometimes disguises himself as another, shiny version.

Outlissa

Species: Noctowl
Gender: Female
Level: 20
Ability: Insomnia
Moves: Tackle | Peck | Uproar | Hypnosis
Nature: Outlissa prides herself on her intelligence; she is a Pokemon of purse intellect, who takes great pains to lecture her teammates on many different subjects, from world history to battle techniques. She is rarely violent, but looks towards battles as a way of gathering more information; each victory or loss is a learning experience, and she relishes them all. The only problem, is that the poor bird has a rather ugly voice to listen too, having the effect of either annoying any listener to no end or actually putting them to sleep. To her, though, those who cannot listen to her are just fools.

Idris

Species: Litwick
Gender: Male
Level: 13
Ability: Flash Fire
Moves: Ember | Night Shade | Flamethrower | Fire Spin
Nature: Idris is a bright light compared to Maltensia's somber team. A soft-hearted little fellow, who loves nothing more than to bob along and shine a light for the rest of his teammates. He prefers to be nocturnal, but isn't opposed to being awake in the early hours of the day if his trainer demands it of him. A rather simplistic soul, who doesn't talk much; he will still provide some insight to life, the universe and everything if he is asked to. He is friendly, and more likely to be trusting of other people's good intentions. Oddly enough though, a little levity can go a long way.

Cruella

Species: Meowstic
Gender: Female
Level: 25
Ability: Infiltrator
Moves: Scratch | Disarming Cry | Psychock | Fake Out
Nature: Cruella likes to use its psychic abilities to screw with people's minds; making them see things, occasionally, or more likely manipulating them into giving her things in order to feel 'protected'. She is a sharp-tongued, bitter Pokemon, who is very stuffy and feels that working with 'common Pokemon' is beneath her. Enjoying the finer things in life, she would step over anyone in order to get her way – and she is quite irate whenever her way is not given. Anger her, and feel ready to feel her claws.

Lance

Species: Clawitzer
Gender: Male
Level: 37
Ability: Mega Launcher
Moves: Water Pulse | Flail | Vice Grip | Crabhammer
Nature: Lance is a very aggressive Pokemon, who will attack with his massive claws before anything. And he'll hold on too; for dear life, in some cases, and ripping pieces off of anyone who is against him. The only person who seems immune to this attacking and aggressive stature is Maltensia herself – as Lance seems to be rather charmed by her. He will do anything to impress her, and drive off anyone he see as a potential 'rival' to her affections.

Ariadne

Level: 37
Ability: Compoundeyes
Moves: Gastro Acid | Signal Beam | Electro Web | Electro Ball
Nature: Ariadne is a competitive little Pokemon, bent on making the most easy of activities into a gambling game in which she is convinced she will be victorious. From running, speaking fastest, or even swimming (a feat she cannot do) - she will challenge others to these games. The only thing she is truly a master of, however, is spinning electrically-charged webs. That she does quickly, and with deadly precision. It is unknown why she holds such a fondness for competition. Perhaps she just likes to see other Pokemon squirm.

Nature: Antran is timid beyond all belief. This stunky is quick to hide above all things, even than to bother eating. Fear leads his life, but since being befriended and caught by Maltensia, he hopes he can grow into a courageous and strong skunk. He has a dislike of Mistoffelees, however, who constantly attempts to attack him, though unprovoked.

Aspiradora

Species: Gengar
Gender: Female
Level: 25
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Hypnosis | Sucker Punch | Lick | Night Shade
Nature: Known as Dora for short, she's a remarkably chipper little ghost Pokemon, with the personality of a mischievous child. Something is off about her – while she tries to pull pranks that she claims to be 'innocent', they often quite dangerous if not downright deadly. From jumping out at you while you stand at the edge of a cliff, or putting poisonous plants in food – she's remarkably dangerous. It's even creepier, seeing as she completely speaks in babytalk. Having rapidly evolved, spending little time as a Haunter, she hasn't quite gotten used to the largeness of her body, making her even more dangerous than she had been in the past.

Selene

Species: Shiny Houndoom
Gender: Female
Level: 25
Ability: Flash Fire
Moves: Bite | Ember | Thunderfang | Beat Up
Nature: Selene is a surprisingly shy Pokemon, afraid of her apparent 'specialness', due to her Shiny nature. She is a pretty little thing, that's for sure – but is afraid that she's going to let people down because she isn't particularly good at anything. Preferring to keep to herself, or cuddling up against Lycidas, who is similarly strange. Her favourite time is the night, although she can't blend into it as well as her regular-coated breathern. She doesn't necessarily enjoy fighting, acting as a pacifist.

Byron

Species: Crobat
Gender: Male
Level: 24
Ability: Inner Focus
Moves: Swift | Wing Attack | Bite | Fly
Nature: A amateur poet - emphasis on the amateur part. Byron tries to make rhymes out of anything; a regular conversation, a repetition of his trainer, reading from a book or sign - absolutely anything he tries to rhyme. But he is no wordsmith, and frankly his rhyming repetition can be particularly boring, if not outright annoying. The only way to stop him is to offer up a word that cannot possibly rhyme. He'll end up sulking for days on end, brooding over his failure, possibly, before finally jumping back into his old habits. He is just trying to constantly express himself creatively.

Artemia

Species: Mightyena
Gender: Female
Level: 19
Ability: Quick Feet
Moves: Tackle | Me First | Play Rough | Bite
Nature: Artemia is an over-reactive wild-child, who is constantly making up fibs about strange Pokemon who are lying in wait to attack them. She isn't scared of them; she simply does it to get a rise out of her trainer and her fellow Pokemon. For some reason, Artemia is desperate for attention - and she does this by crying wolf. She pretends that she does not need anyone, and instead plays aloof when she's not trying to trick someone...but at night she often curls up in the many layers of Mal's clothes, seeking warmth and comfort. Her acting out is clearly a desperate bid for attention.

Hesperia

Species: Gothita
Gender: Female
Level: 17
Ability: Competitive
Moves: Pound | Confusion | Tickle | Psybeam
Nature: Hesperia is a very giddy, childish Pokemon; talking primarily in a high-pitched, squeaky voice with a faux French accent and skipping around the place. She believes that she is most culture Pokemon in the entirety of Maltensia's entourage, and isn't afraid to spout facts and figures that she has come up with. Sad thing is; they are all completely made up. Truth is, she's hardly ever been outside her Pokeball, and her dreams are only that – dreams. Maybe one day she can get her wish and travel Torrenta – but for now, she's simply one of many in Maltensia's arsenal.

Sabine

Species: Nidoqueen
Gender: Female
Level: 16
Ability: Poison Point
Moves: Double Kick | Poison Sting | Poison Tail | Skull Bash
Nature: A Pokemon who believes she should be treated as a queen, demanding other Pokemon and ever her trainer to wait upon her hand and foot. Refuse to, and she will throw the mother of all temper-tantrums – screaming, yelling, and repeatedly bashing her skull against whomever stands against her. Treat her the way she wants, and she acts like the perfect little angel – but you better never question her rules or demands.

Macavity

Species: Meowth
Gender: Male
Level: 13
Ability: Pickup
Moves: Scratch | Bite | Hypnosis | Fake Out
Nature: A true cat – sly, scheming and horribly self-sufficient. He is a cat in charge of his own life, and is horribly upset that he is stuck with a trainer constantly keeping an eye over him. He is practically the polar opposite of Munkstrap, but much more intelligent that Mistoffelees. He is a criminal mastermind, encouraging his fellow Pokemon into petty crime – mostly stealing. He could easily become the don of his own organization – if it weren't for Maltensia keeping a close eye on him. He is embittered and crabby, but knows that eventually he can match wits with his trainer and beat her.

Atropine

Species: Shiny Maractus
Gender: Female
Level: 12
Ability: Chlorophyll
Moves: Spiky Shield | Cotton Guard | Pin Missile | Peck
Nature: Loves to give hugs, despite the fact that she is covered in several sharp, pointy spikes which makes this task virtually impossible. Atropine can be difficult to get along with, at least for Maltensia, as she tries too hard to be motherly in the style of a 1950's housewife – cloyingly sweet and saccharine. She is a very sincere Pokemon, always trying to take care of others, and doing other un-Pokemonly things such as trying to bake pies or offering advice on boys and giggling. She's an odd choice to be the motherly type – but she's an odd Pokemon in general.

Nature: Demelza is a strangely cheerful, friendly ghost. Despite her horrific outsides, she is genuinely a sweet little girl, who is constantly trying to make friends with anyone she comes across. Sadly, most of the time she ends up scaring away all of the Pokemon and trainers she has come across, before Maltensia. Surprisingly bubbly and sweet, she is fond of giving hugs and occasionally steals things in order to give people's gifts, hoping that they would like her more.

Valentine

Species: Aron
Gender: Male

Ability: Rock Head
Moves: Tackle | Harden | Mud-Slap | Headbutt
Nature: Valentine is definitely the strong, silent type. He doesn't talk to anyone specifically, instead communicating in internal monologues that he speaks out loud, believing that no one can actually hear him. He is not a team player, convinced that the rest of mates will betray him in some way. He hides behind his metal armour and stoicism to avoid getting hurt by other people, including his trainer. He does enjoy battle though, as each time it allows himself to prove that he is strong enough to preserver and protect himself.

Species: Purrloin
Gender: Male

Ability: Limber
Moves: Scratch | Growl | Assist
Nature: Aloof is the best term to describe Misto; who truly is a pinnacle for the typical feline. He could care less what his trainer wants him to do, honestly; he'll only follow them if he feels like it, and prefers not to fight unless he is forced into it. He would much rather laze about, taking up as much room as his relatively small body can. Anger him and his claws will come out, but he's a surprisingly mellow male. A Pokemon of few words; unless it is to criticize or complain about his treatment - or occasionally making 'suggestions'. A cryptic little bugger, indeed.

Nature: A very talkative, loud-mouthed Pokemon, who is generally good natured, for a flightless bird that likes to surround herself with bones and skulls. Her sense of style is a rather macabre one, true; but she's a girly girl at heart, constantly trying to become the next fashion-setting icon. Insult her fashion sense, however, and Adrastea turns into a violent harpy of a Pokemon - pecking the offender into submission and screeching up a storm. She thinks of herself as a serious artist, but also takes pleasure in being a hard-core battler.

Thorne

Species: Weavile

Ability: Pressure
Moves: Scratch | Leer | Ice Punch | Counter
Nature: Thorne isn't a Pokemon of many words, preferring to communicate through sign language and grunts. He is preoccupied with becoming the best, and doesn't truly believe he needs a trainer in order to achieve those goals, but finds himself stuck with Maltensia anyways. He hates it when anyone is ignorant enough to call him 'cute' or 'small', and often harbors rather violent fantasies of slashing people and Pokemon alike the moment he evolves and becomes strong enough that no one stands in his way.

Moves: Peck | Astonish | Drill Peck | Perish Song
Nature: An incredibly morose Pokemon, Poe sees the world in shades of grey, which which the glass is always half empty. A bit of a hypochondriac, he is constantly jumping to the absolute worst conclusions about people and teammates alike. He is a born follower, not a leader in the slightest – it'd be sad to see him try and control a 'mob' as is his right as a Honchkrow. He is bent on staying in the shadows, where he is best suited, and mumbling nervously to himself.

Barnabas

Moves: Zen Headbutt | Scratch | Flatter
Nature: For such a dark-associated Pokemon, Barnabas is a particularly difficult to associate with. For one, he is absolutely terrified of the dark, and requires some sort of light to guide him around. He is nervous, and stutters over his words – confident in who he is and what he hopes to achieve in the world. He is a gentle soul, surprisingly. But at heart, he is a true gentleman; very friendly to female Pokemon and quite chivalrous. Sadly, very few girls look at him, seeing him as a more pathetic scaredy-cat.

Lecter

Nature: Lecter is an incredibly mean-spirited Pokemon, who certainly doesn't play well with others. He would prefer to eat anything and everything that comes across his path, be they Pokemon, human, or anything in between. In fact, one of his favourite games is to chew on rocks – breaking them between his sharp teeth in order to strengthen is already immense jaw power. He doesn't talk much, but not because he is stupid. He is criminally intelligent, and feels that talking to anyone is beneath him. A penchant for musing to himself about the taste of other fish Pokemon is what has lent him his rather infamous name.

Moves: Leer | Peck | Sky Attack | Whirlwind
Nature: A born thespian, this Skarmory hides a surprisingly gentle soul behind a shield of shiny body armour. She wants to be an artist, and would probably be better suited to coordination training, if it weren't for her hair trigger for anyone who dares critique her work. Say one negative thing – just one, and she will be on the attack in an instant, putting her sharp body to it's best and most deadly edge. A very high-strung Pokemon, who hates critics and commentators alike.

Xenos

Species: Sigilyph
Gender: Male
Level: 3
Ability: Magic Guard
Moves: Roost | Miracle Eye | Ancient Power | Gust
Nature: Xenos always speaks in third person, dolling out wise advice and things that he picks up and sees from the beyond. A budding guru, most of his advice is spouting nonsense that is more annoying jabber than anything, but he truly believes he is touching the netherworld and speaking with those from the beyond, being divinely inspired to speak and protect his trainer from all enemies. He is an oddball, for sure, but he makes up for it in trying to be helpful.

Jairus

Species: Inkay
Gender: Male
Level: 3
Ability: Contrary
Moves: Tackle | Peck | Constrict
Nature: A sweet, silent Pokemon who loves to give hugs to all his Pokemon and human friends. However, with so many sticky arms, it's hard for him to show proper affection. His problem is that he often wraps his arms about people's neck and face, often cutting off air as he tries to show his appreciation for them. He does talk much, and often acts quite sheepish around strangers, but loves to creep into his trainer's tent at night to cuddle.

Solanine

Species: Chimecho
Gender: Female
Level: 3
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Wrap | Curse | Hypnosis
Nature: A cheery little Pokemon, Solanine's greatest wish is to help people fall asleep when they are feeling bad, or tired. She better understands people and Pokemon when they are asleep, for some reason. She doesn't seem to understand why anyone, save her, needs to be awake at all times. Her infatuation with prone people is a little scary, come to think of it. And her 'hugs' are less hugs, and more attempts to choke someone into oblivion. Er...maybe it's best to keep her in a Pokeball as much as you can.

Malika

Species: Swoobat
Gender: Female
Level: 2
Ability: Unaware
Moves: Confusion | Roost | Captivate
Nature: A very manipulative Pokemon, she uses her supposed beauty and love-making prowess in order to get what she wants. It's odd to think of a Pokemon like her being completely seductive, and being too pretty to battle. She will turn into a screeching rage at the slightest provocation, however. Fluffy and frightening all in one, a true femme fatale.

Madjora

Species: Lunatone
Gender: Male
Level: 1
Ability: Levitate
Moves: Moonblast | Tackle | Harden | Confusion
Nature: A completely cracked Pokemon, who believes it is actually a piece of the Broken-off moon here to punish people on earth. He is here to crush, to manipulate the tides – to cause general panic and mayhem. He is easily enraged and goaded into battle – in fact, the real trouble is in trying to get him to stop. If he had a visible mouth, it would surely be grinning a malicious smile 24/7.

Reaper

Species: Absol
Gender: Female
Level: 1
Ability: Super Luck
Moves: Perish Song | Razor Wind | Play Rough | Curse
Nature: A very canine Pokemon, she is somewhat of a mentor to Maltensia's other doggish companions, although oddly enough she is the youngest. She is a sharp tongued alpha, who will not take no for an answer. Given her name for her penchant for slashing about whenever she is angry, she has been known to attack her own teammates when irate as much as enemy or dangerous Pokemon. Her howl is, indeed, deadly – and should be feared.

Dicaculus

Species: Scraggy
Gender: Male
Level: 1
Ability: Shed Skin
Moves: Leer | Low Kick | Dragon Dance | Ice Punch
Nature: A heavily sarcastic, annoying Pokemon. He tends to speak wholly in sarcastic comments, being highly cynical and certainly doesn't like playing well with others. He is a solo battler, at least – he insists on being so. The only one who is able to keep up with him on a main basis is Maltensia herself. But she often doesn't bring him out, as any battle often ends with them simply fighting each other.

Cornix

Species: Pawniard
Gender: Male
Level: 1
Ability: Defiant
Moves: Scratch | Headbutt | Revenge
Nature: A strong but silent warrior, who has a very Samarai outlook on life. He feels his biggest goal in life is to become the best battler in Maltensia's team, and losing battle means that he is letting down his fellow Pokemon and his trainer, punishable only by seclusion or death. He tries to distance himself from other Pokemon, and hates to talk, as he feels it is only a waste of his time.

Vladimir

Species: Sandile
Gender: Male
Level: 1
Ability: Moxie
Moves: Leer | Rage | Fire Fang | Mean Look
Nature: A mischievous little sandile, with oddly vampiric tendencies. Fascinated with putting things into his mouth and chomping down, this can get dangerous indeed as he has a tendency to also set things on fire. He shows affection by biting, anger by biting, fear by biting – he basically expresses himself in clamping down and not letting go. Prefers to be out during the night only; as he complains that the sun burns his eyes and bakes his skin. Odd behaviour, especially for a Pokemon usually known for dwelling in desert climates.

Guenivere

Species: Honedge
Gender: Female
Level: 1
Ability: No Guard
Moves: Tackle | Swords Dance | Shadow Sneak | Destiny Bond
Nature: The spirit of a lardy night, trapped in harsh metal. Or, so she claims to be. Despite the fact of being born to other members of Maltensia's team, Guenivere insists she is actually medival royalty, and demands to be treated as such. Her thirst for battle is well know, and she's the first to jump in in defense of anyone's honour, particularly her own. One feisty sword Pokemon.

Kaiju

Species: Larvesta
Gender: Male

Ability: Flame Body
Moves: Ember | String Shot | Morning Sun | Zen Headbutt
Nature: A simple Pokemon who excells at displays of violent wreckage. He speaks only in ungodly screeches and growls, and tries to demolish pretty much anything in his path – trampling over his problems rather than trying to find a clear way around them. A spirit, feisty Pokemon who tends to lean towards the fiery side of his nature rather than the timid bug side.

Somnus

Moves: Pound | Hypnosis | Assist | Roleplay
Nature: A Pokemon whom is almost always asleep. Somnus is just a big, bad slob, who does not like to battle, and would rather just eat and sleep. He has a somewhat sleepy, zen wisdom that he occasionally offers his fellow Pokemon, and all they need to pay him for it is with their dreams. Sweet, delicious dreams.

Ability: Pickup
Moves: Trick | Astonish | Disable | Confuse Ray
Nature: A tricky, sadistic little Pokemon, who loves to frighten anyone around him. He feels particularly flustered by the fact that Maltensia seems unaffected by his presence. This Gourgeist loves to jump out a people, make odd faces, and cackle maniacally. Some of his pranks are a little more dangerous than anything. He is a twisted, sadistic little Pokemon, occasionally trying to tackle and injure his own teammates.

Bellatrix

Species: Heliolisk
Gender: Female
Level: 1
Ability: Dry Skin
Moves: Glare | Pound | Electric Terrain | Tail Whip
Nature: Bellatrix, or Trixie as she prefers to be called, is a few shocks away from complete insanity. Some would even argue against that. She is a cackling madwoman, with a sadistic love of creeping up on other, smaller Pokemon and shrieking at the top of her lungs, only to run away giggling madly. She often speak in riddles, vague threats, and hearty chuckles. She is constantly in good humour – which would be comforting, save you usually realize her mood comes at the expense of your well-being. Often best to keep her locked away in a Pokeball – for safety, of course.

Moves: Memento | Minimize | Constrict | Disable
Nature: A total airhead – Isolde tends to float around, thinking about the sum total of the universe and trying to piece together ideas about the meaning of life. However, she is an empty-headed bimbo in reality – her ideas being quite shallow and stupid-sounding. She likes to float around rather than battle, thinking 'big thoughts.'

Nature: A violent young Pokemon, who enjoys punching things. He doesn't have much finesse – he just enjoys the battle and being brutal to his opponents. He likes to hit, kick, punch – and leave his enemies in a pulp. No doubt about it, you don't want to end up as this Pokemon's punching bag. Even humans and Pokemorphs are no immune from his violent tendencies.

Nature: A slick femme fatale. She tries to disable and distract her opponents buy trying to seduce them, and then slowly squeeze the life out of them. Or poison them with the deadly tip of her tail. She actually think's it's rather fun, and has the chance of becoming quite the 'black widow' if left unchecked.

Moves: Psywave | Defense Curl | Helping Hand | Sleep Talk
Nature: Luna is quite the sheepish, bashful Pokemon – who would much rather sleep than battle anyone. Very shy and likes to keep to herself during the day, she does enjoy drifting about at night under the light of the moon. A rather Melancholy little soul, who would rather not hurt a fly, and actually dreams of helping other Pokemon reach a state of Nirvana and constant sleep. However, she often becomes violent and thrashes about in her sleep, meaning she is much scarier unconscious than awake.

Moves: Bide | Ice Punch | Thunder Punch | Poison Jab
Nature: An austere battler, Samael feels it's his mission to make his trainer proud and to prove himself to be a mighty fighter. He has patience to spare, compared to many on his team, and feels like he is wise beyond his years. A Pokemon of few words, he prefers to let his training and his actions do the talking; not that it's a message that many of his enemies would like to hear. Stealth is his main weapon; you'll never know what hit you until it's too late.

Nature: A Pokemon who definitely prides herself on being a beautiful, efficient dragon – known for her ferocity and violence. She coins herself as the supreme Mistress of evil...and she will let no other Pokemon do her dirty-work for her. She fights her own fights, and doesn't make connections with others easily; preferring instead to stay aloof and have her own success be claimed only on her hard work.

Amoret

Level: 1
Ability: Aftermath
Moves: Scratch | Focus Energy | Crunch | Play Rough
Nature: A sorry Pokemon, who only wants one thing; love. Amoret is a true romantic, waiting for the day she could find the price of her heart, her true love. The problem is, she isn't exactly a desirable Pokemon. For one, she has a rather unattractive smell...even when she hasn't tried to spray anything. She is too quiet and soft spoke, with a dreamy, delightful voice. She is constantly tripping over her own tail – mostly in a hurry to chase after every male Pokemon she meets, spouting love sonnets and begging them to 'put a ring on it' – whatever 'it' is.

Moves: Leer | Smog | Howl | Ember
Nature: Morgred is a strong-willed Pokemon, who will doggedly try and fight his way out of any problem. He thinks everything can be solved with fighting other Pokemon, and will attack first and ask questions later. He isn't much to talk about strategy. Rather, he wants to attack and rip and tear anything that bothers him. He isn't too smart, but he makes up for it in channeling brute force into all of his attempts to fight for his trainer. He enjoys incredibly masculine things.
