Drew's Motley Squad of Misfits
DREW BOYD
[Winter Gear]
Age 26 | Male | October 3rd
Rebel Good | INTP | Libra
A Ramblin' Man
Born in Kanto, raised in Sinnoh, schooled in a far-off region, and journeyed to just about every region between (with the singular exception of Johto, as he'll be quick to point out); Drew Boyd has seen a lot of shit. Between his knack for accidently falling into hinky situations, his unfortunate habit of creating said situations by hair-brained shenanigans, and in general being a chew-toy of fate; Drew is very rarely surprised by anything. Instead he just goes with the flow, relaxed as ever. That isn't to say he's a fountain of calm. Rotom, in particular, can nearly always get a rise out of him if he desires, but generally Drew is the rock that grounds the eclectic personalities of his team. He also acts as a moral rock for some of the more unethically inclined members as well as the younger and inexperienced individuals. A bleeding heart, Drew finds it very hard to purposefully ignore someone he could potentially help out, which then wraps back around to his habit of falling into hinky situations.
Technically a resident of Unova (currently), the decision to journey to Fizzytopia - accompanied by only Rotom, Corvinus, and Tank, the last of whom stowed away - was incredibly spur of the moment. Some might even say it was Drew running away from his problems, but they would be filthy liars whose lies you should not believe. Yes Rotom, that means you. ...Ahem. Regardless, he couldn't have picked a worse time to visit the strange region, right before the anarchy of a sudden regime change. For the first month of political upheaval, Drew decided to ignore it all and somewhat on accident joined a Lycanroc pack, as you do. It was only when things calmed down a month later did he rejoin society, and since then he has finally begun to adventure, journeying to Bedlam Ridge to provide aid after a quick detour for the Springtide Isle event and establishing his base of operations.
If you're around Drew for long, you might find him holding conversations with his team. Mildly aura-adept, Drew is able to naturally understand those he's either bonded with or is in regular contact with regardless of language spoken. He can't really do much else aura-related, and he still can't understand random Pokémon he encounters, but it nevertheless is a handy ability to have.

ROTOM "THE ROTODEX"
Rotom - The Plasma Pokémon
/
Level 52 | Male (in identity) | Levitate Ability
Chaotic Moral | Quirky | Mischievous
Strong (41) Bond with Drew
{10/10/10/10/10}
One of Drew's most constant companions and his oldest of those traveling with him, Rotom and Drew share a bond more of brothers than of Pokémon and trainer. A naturally chaotic spirit, like most of his kind, Rotom marches to the beat of his own drum. He doesn't particularly like being ordered around - with only the sometimes exception of Drew, whom he'll willingly follow - and chafes at the idea of laws or societal restrictions outlining what he can or can't do. Despite this, as Drew grew up and matured, Rotom found himself maturing as well. He very rarely pulls pranks or creates mischief for the sake of boredom or 'for the lulz.' He's even, on occasion, found himself Drew's voice of reason against particularly hair-brained schemes, which in his own words is 'weird as all hell.' Fortunately, Drew will also act as Rotom's own voice of reason in return. Though he's relaxed with age, Rotom is still a Rotom, and even if he doesn't utilize it like he once did, that penchant for creating chaos and falling into trouble (often of his own making) didn't just vanish. Regardless, one thing that never really changed about Rotom was his sense of morals. He certainly wouldn't consider himself good, by any stretch of the word, but when faced with a problem he could solve he'll usually do so, especially if it'll help someone. This ideology has only strengthened since joining Drew back in Drew's school days.
Rotodex Entry #1-479
『 Rotom - The Plasma AWESOME Pokémon aka me. Rotom is an extremely cool Pokémon that can do an extremely large number of amazing things. Made entirely out of plasma bound together by a consciousness, Rotom are generally indifferent to concepts like 'mortality' or 'death'; considering both the mystery surrounding exactly how Rotom form from non-Rotom at least, I know how I came to be, duh and that Rotom tend to be considered amortal, this is not unexpected. Consequently, most Rotom are very chaotic in nature: mischievous poltergeists drifting across the world through electric lines. Naturally able to manipulate electric fields, without any conscious effort Rotom can levitate much like a ghost, adding to the overall reputation and offering protecting from earth-based moves (something much appreciated considering the primary type affiliation). 』

CORVINUS "CORVIN / CORV"
Murkrow - The Darkness Pokémon

Level 42 | Male | Super Luck Ability
Chaotic Good | Impish | Mischievous
Strong (36) Bond with Drew
{30/30/30/30/30}
Captured nearly a decade ago in the Eterna Woods, Corvinius has been with Drew a long time, beaten only of Drew's current team by Rotom. At first, he was the very definition of a hedonist: interested in little besides the pleasures of wine, women, and whatever else happened to capture his fancy. As the years have progressed, though, a combination of age and a genuine if ultimately failed romance has mellowed him somewhat. Though always interested in a good time, Corv has grown to be more subdued. His lechery and dogged persistence has largely decreased, easily accepting 'no' to an offer of...companionship, but at the same time he very rarely puts himself out there platonically or otherwise. Around his new team, Corvin finds himself wearing masks, perfunctorily playing the role he's been cast with only a few exceptions: Rotom, who knew him previously and largely doesn't give a damn in any case as long as Corvin stays out of jail; Stealth, who as an annoyingly perceptive fellow catburglar Corvin has found himself 'talking shop' (so to speak) with on occasion; and Ace, who has against all better judgment and reason adopted Corvin as a pseudo-uncle-figure.

TANK JR. "JUNIOR"
Aron - The Iron Armor Pokémon
/
Level 18 | Male | Rock Head Ability
Social Good | Adamant | Likes to Run
Moderate (20) Bond with Drew
{20/20/20/20/20}
The last of Drew's trio of Pokémon to journey with him to Fizzytopia, Tank Jr. - or Junior, as he is often called by Rotom and Corvin - is the only child of Drew's Aggron, Tank Sn. Born relatively recently, about a year-and-a-half before this newest adventure, Tank is still very innocent and young-minded especially when compared to the cynics that make up the rest of Drew's team. Stubborn as a mule, when Tank has set his mind on something one would be hard-pressed to change his convictions regardless of their validity (and actually, especially so when he's wrong; as much as he hates being wrong, he hates being called out on it even more). Consistently cast in the large shadow of his father's accomplishments, Junior feels he has so much to prove both to himself and to others. Often, this leads to him trying too hard or going to extremes in pursuit of glory. In fact, this very reason is why he journeyed with Drew: unlike Rotom or Corvin, Junior stowed away in Drew's bag and made the trip in secret. (Needless to say, Tank Sr. was not happy with this decision.) As is obvious, Drew let Junior stay with him, and thus far the time in Fizzytopia has been good for him. Surrounded by Pokémon who never knew his father, Tank finally has found a place where he can be known for himself. That the younger few 'mon, Donnie and Sahara in particular, look up to him as an older sibling doesn't hurt either.

DONNIE
Grubbin - The Larva Pokémon
Level 7 | Male | Swarm Ability
Social Moral | Naďve | Good Perseverance
Beginning (6) Bond with Drew
{10/10/10/10/10}
Drew's first capture in Fizzytopia, Donnie holds a special place in Drew's heart. Newly born on Springtide Isle as a part of the Springtime Pyukumuku's Easter event, Donnie was, for a very brief time, the youngest member of Drew's team and still remains the most innocent. Largely unaware of the ways of the world, Donnie has a certain air of naivety around him. Often he'll ask others to clarify a concept or expression he doesn't know or hasn't heard before; thankfully, most of Drew's team is fond of Donnie's charm and agreeable to these impromptu lessons. One thing, though, that Donnie is incredibly knowledgeable in is food. Hatched in a food stall as part of the Pyukumuku Deity's event, Donnie loves food of all kinds and loves to experiment with new ingredients and recipes. Additionally, he often puts things into comparisons with food or cooking, both to help him understand concepts and also to make puns. Donnie loves puns.

SAHARA
Hippopotas - The Hippo Pokémon
Level 11 | Female | Sand Stream Ability
Lawful Good | Docile | Quick to Flee
Beginning (4) Bond with Drew
{20/20/20/20/20}
During the misadventures in bailing out Corvinus from Springtide Isle, Drew along with Rotom and Donnie encountered a second egg, which ended up hatching into Sahara. Unsure if she was meant to be there or not, given the festival event was supposed to be just about Alola natives, Drew brought her with him back to the mainland. Since no angry Pyukumuku has since come after them, they figure it was fine with the turn of events. A very pure heart, Sahara is quite possibly the most genuinely 'good' of all Drew's Pokémon. She loves rules and consistency, which often puts her at odds with many of her teammates. Unfortunately, she is also a push-over and hates conflict. Sahara has next to no backbone, and easily will crumble to a will stronger than hers. It's something she's working on, but it's slow going.

ACE
Pidgey - The Tiny Bird Pokémon
/
Level 13 | Female | Big Pecks Ability
Rebel Good | Rash | Proud of Her Power
Beginning (8) Bond with Drew
{10/10/10/10/10}
Adopted by Drew in the opening rush at the new Adoption Centre, Ace is a big personality wrapped in a tiny bird package. Like Tank, who she gets along with swimmingly, Ace is very headstrong and generally acts rashly. Owing to a life spent underestimated and undervalued as one of the most common regional birds, Ace has hidden her insecurities and doubts behind a 'tough' exterior. She often works to become stronger, loving fights and chances to prove her power. When not training, she likes to spend her time two ways: flying, and working on her Nitro-9 formula. With the later, Drew has no idea where or how she might've come up with it, but somewhere along the line Ace managed to develop a strong incendiary she dubbed Nitro-9 after a TV show. This formula is how she performs her more... volatile moves, like Explosion.

Strong (36) Bond with Drew
{20/20/20/20/20}
The past of Stealth is relatively unknown. Since joining them after an encounter on the way to Bedlam Ridge, Drew knows Stealth has had at least one prior trainer, who he shared with Zylia, and that since parting ways with that trainer he's looked after himself and Zylia often through unscrupulous means. Otherwise though? Drew doesn't know much, and Stealth doesn't seem to be offering up anything. No, he's pretty hard to read, so skilled at deception that only Zylia is really able to tell when he's actually jovial or just wearing a happy-go-lucky mask. Regardless, most of the time Stealth seems pretty relaxed and is considered the 'cool' one of Drew's team by the younger members (and some of the older members). Corvinus in particular is thick as thieves with him, both figuratively and literally, since they often go out and play cat burglar. Otherwise, Stealth is closest to Zylia, who he still tries to look after because of her condition.

ZYLIA
*SHADOW* Roselia - The Thorn Pokémon
/
Level 34 | Female | Natural Cure Ability
Chaotic Impure | Naughty | Likes to Fight
Very Poor (-16) Bond with Drew
{20/20/20/20/20}
A strangely purple Roselia, Zylia joined Drew's team at the same time as Stealth, for the sole reason that Stealth wanted to join. Unbeknownst to Drew, Zylia is a shadow Pokémon, and consequently she has an incredibly warped sense of perspective. She has no loyalty towards anyone but herself and, due to a life debt, begrudgingly Stealth. Because of this, she has no qualms with attempting to manipulate others both through subtle means and through more direct force and intimidation. Towards the latter, she's grown quite knowledgeable about ways to inflict injury, mostly of the cutting variety thanks to her thorny physicality and disposition. As sadistic as she might sound, Zylia isn't outright evil, like some shadow Pokémon, but is definitely not on the side of angels. Generally speaking, Zylia is just a free spirit. She does what she wants when she wants, and if people don't like it they can fuck off. Or get hurt. Usually the latter.
