the party
with their starter pokemon
info with their respective Guardian Stars
- Ian: currently Yan's boyfriend after arc1. npc that accompanied us in some parts of the adventure. musician, can hear people's "rhythm" but for some reason can't hear Yan's. he grew up in the streets of Lumiose until he joined a gang secretly controlled by the Gym Leader. Ian was in love with him, the dude was just using him, classic. after an "incident ", he decides to abandon the gang and escape with his two closest friends who were also part of it.
- Frost: interpol cop. lowkey acts like an asshole but he cares. on the first night, Yan realizes he's also a Hex Maniac and they slowly become friends, even if Frost isn't particularly interested in his own powers. there's some tension at one point cause he caught a Phantump, but considering the circumstances Yan doesn't feel he can force him to release it. in the end Frost gives Yan the chance to help him evolve it, and Yan realizes he can trust him even if they don't fully agree . also in arc1 his mother sent him two Eevees (complicated plot) and he gave one to Yan.
- Nitta: farmer, has powers related to wind. at first she had a kinda rivalry with Frost but then they start falling in love, they're funny. she's the one with the Keeper dad. i'd say her character is the most connected with the campaign plot, and the most developed after Yan.
- Maxwell: medic. his hair is white for Plot Reasons™. has a Skitty we all love. he kinda becomes friends with Yan cause they're both too nice (?
- Nico: my bf's character. he's weird. also has wind powers. he's intrigued by Yan because of his relationship with other people and with his own powers.
- Ibaraki: orphan teen with anger issues who half grew up on the woods. spends half the campaign bleeding out since all her skills cause recoil. Yan was nice to her and is respectful of pokemon, which is the most important thing for her, so she likes him.
- Mint: super traumatized teen being hunted down by his rich abusive family. kind of a pokemon nurse but he uses a magic staff. him and Ibaraki have a mutual crush on each other. i don't think he ever interacted with Yan 1on1 tbh.
- Kileo: he joins us halfway through arc1. starts out as an artist one of the "good" Keepers asked to help us out, but in the end he reveals he's actually a detective who was trailing us cause we fucked up a lot. barely interacted with Yan a couple times but they get along fine. he befriends Nitta and Frost, and ships them.
here's their teams in arc2 in case you're curious
