Oliver McNamara

Age: 31
Trainer Class: Stand-up comedian
Biography: Oliver is a creative, resourceful, and daring soul who's driven to self-improvement. He often brings real life anecdotes into his comedy routines- most of which can be attested to by his childhood friends and family. He tends to learn by doing things rather than sitting around studying a book, and as a result it's not uncommon to see him wandering in the outskirt wilds of whatever town he's in looking for an adventure. Most people find his wit the most charming part of his personality. On the other hand, he has poor commitment, and has trouble following up on projects and promises. He tends to be a skilled debater, but sometimes needs to be reminded that other people have feelings that should be taken into account. Despite being an extrovert, he tends to keep a smaller circle of friends.

He led a relatively normal life in Cascadia until around age fifteen- he regularly received B's, with the occasional C or A. He did well, yes, but not spectacular- he didn't enjoy what he was doing. Oliver grew up as the only child of an Arceist couple, where he was doted on, but not to the point of being spoiled. His father, a pokemon breeder, regularly introduced him to odd breeds of pokemon. As a result, he tends not to be intimidated by the more stereotypically 'scary' breeds- such as dark, ghost, and bug. He ended up dropping out in year nine of school to pursue training full time, where he obtained the Glass badge and the Diamond badge before deciding to go to improv school on a whim.

He married the love of his life at age twenty-two- a full time trainer named Lenore who specializes in fairy types. The two don't have any kids, but they do adopt lots of stray pokemon. She tends to push Oliver around, but not necessarily in a bad way- she encourages him to be more thoughtful, and to take better care of himself. Despite having been married for almost a decade, the two are still just as happy as when they were first engaged. Oliver's dream is, upon retirement, to open up a pokemon day care.

As a battler, though possessing the ability to defeat two gyms, he isn't the best. It's been a long time since he and his pokemon have seen the field. When the comedian battles, however, he prefers to disable the opponents first through status moves before sweeping with heavy-hitting moves. He takes losing gracefully, as long as his opponent is also a good sport.

Recommended Pokemon: Chatot, Baltoy, Eelektrik

Micaiah Horowitz

Age: 23
Trainer Class: Wayward Sister
Biography: Micaiah is responsible and organized, driven to enforce the rules within existing systems. She is steady and productive, and tends to understand exactly where she belongs in life. This does not make her isolated by any stretch of the imagination. She mainly concerns herself with making sure standards are met and in order. Because of this, she tends to come off as incredibly intense to the point of offputting others. A natural introvert, she tends to spend her down time curled up with a good book rather than out on the town. Her job is in forensic accounting- in other words, she uses her skills to investigate fraud and embezzlement for use in legal proceedings. Usually she works throughout central Godai, but has been spending the weekends and her breaks travelling to various Godai League stops with her younger sister. Despite her chilly exterior, she genuinely cares for other people, and regularly puts her sister's needs before her own.

Micaiah grew up in Durskrim to a lower-class family. Her father was never in the picture, and by the time her younger sister was seven, her mother began to suffer from dementia. She mostly raised her sibling by herself, teaching her responsibility and organization from a young age. Her mother passed away when she was seventeen, and it was at that stage that she attended GSUC on a scholarship. She took her sister with her, and they've been living in the area ever since.

She is completely single, not showing any particular interest in young men or women her age. Perhaps if she had spent the time to get to know them better, it would be different, but she's incredibly busy with her job, and she doesn't particularly rank a romantic relationship as high on her list of priorities. She has a wide circle of acquaintances from work, but few actual friends- she is perfectly fine with that, though. Micaiah has never taken the league challenge, though if she tried she could probably get through two or three gyms. As a battler, she is completely average- her pokemon are more housepets than they are trained to obey commands in battle.

Her strategy in battle seems to be very formulaic and focused on defense, waiting for the opponent to come to her rather than the other way around. Should one battle her long enough, they will recognize that she tends to follow the same patterns and could potentially take advantage.

Recommended Pokemon: Palpitoad, Tropius, Throh
