Thread: The Broken (Sign Ups Forever Open)

We are the strange, we are the disarranged, we are the possessed, the second guessed. Our thoughts go unspoken, but we fight for those in need... Because we are The Broken. The Broken Credo

The Broken is a group of teens in Castelia City, Unova. They are a group of runaways who have had suffered horrible lives before being saved by Pokemon, and ran away at the attempt at a better life. They have a home located in an abandoned apartment building, which also functions as there base. With the aid of Pokemon, they are hired to solve mysteries and fight for the wronged in exchange for some money, but they'll do it free of charge depending on the client's situation. The Broken consider Pokemon friends and beloved partners, and their looked up to by the younger kids of Castelia, but their not exactly liked by the Police (They consider The Broken to be juvenile delinquents...)

She wears a black tank top that reveals a small portion of her stomach and a pair of black skinny jeans with a pair of black leather boots. Her outfit is then completed with a silver chocker with a star pendant.

Personality: Becca is a passionate girl, with a fiery spirit and a charisma that others either admire or despise. She's very fond of Pokemon, thinking of them as close as family, and she likes both cute, and edgy Pokemon. Becca feels responsible for everyone in The Broken, since she's the leader, and thinks as the entire group as a family. Becca likes music, preferring modern rock. And she doesn't like computers, thinking there not user friendly.

History: Becca is from Nimbasa City, and from a wealthy family. Her parents were overbearing, controlling, and never aloud to have any freedom. Her mother told her "Be like a doll... Don't speak unless spoken to, don't move without being told to, don't ruin things for you're father." Becca's rebellious nature couldn't be subdued. She embraced her free will, and actually snuck out of her home, to explore the streets of Nimbasa. She met and befriended a Eevee and Minccino. Glad to see two Pokemon that embraced her for who she truly was, she ran away from home with them and settled in Castelia City. She started The Broken to reach out to other tormented teens, and became the leader.

Reserve me a spot!

Name: Edmund Catesby
Nickname: Angel
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight as a Beanstalk
Age: 14

Appearance: Edmund is short and skinny, standing at 5'3". He has thin wild hair like brown straw and a light face. His nickname 'Angel' comes from his baby-face, round and pudgy, which people used to tease him about until they found out his skill with his fists and a knife. He has scarred, skinny arms. He doesn't get cold often, so usually sticks to a T-shirt and some Jeans. When in the open street he wears a cap at almost all times to cover his hair. The only clothes in good condition are his trainers, white with a blue insignia on them. He still hasn't found out what the insignia represents.

Personality: Edmund is a loner most of the time, prefering to work by himself and with his Pokémon. He gets short-man syndrome in groups, especially ones with older youths, and often gets violent, especially if people insult him. He is ruthless when needs be, although he isn't a mass murderer. He feels no responsibility, no connection except from to those that feed him and shelter him. Despite his violent ways he has a strong sense of honour, give to those that give, take from those that take. He isn't afraid to get into a fight, and not afraid to get hurt, that's the way of the street.

History: Edmund had rich parents, they loved him, in the way that rich parents do to an only child. He resented them, hated their laws and imposing nature. He started to get rowdy in their suburban house, invite other kids in from the less well-off areas into his house for parties when his parents were out. Eventually his parents caught him, and he ran away, joining the gangs that he had helped in Castelia.

There he was devious, eliminating or intimidating rivals. He got himself involved in the odd brawl, always came out victorious. He didn't spill too much blood, didn't get too hated. He became treasurer of the Red Fist gang, one of the most notorious in Castelia, part of the larger Red Fist network. However, he pulled all the strings, and the leader, a man named Clubber Bol, was putty in his hands. The gang were approached by Team Plasma, to supply the group with members taken off the streets, and as a 'trade partner'. It didn't take long to realise that Angel Catesby was becoming a threat, and he was betrayed, sold to Team Plasma by Clubber Bol.

His time in Plasma was the worst of his life. They tried to brainwash him, make him believe in the rubbish that they preached. He wasn't in for their idealistic behaviour, and so was conscripted into the Cult of Ghetis, an elite squad of Plasma members different to the rest. They worked for Ghetis, for the real Plasma. However, Angel ran away. He returned to Castelia with his new partner, Purrloin, and 'dealt' with Clubber Bol. He started his own group, made exclusively of Pokémon. They weren't as unreliable as humans, they were better agents. From then on he carried Bol's Baseball Bat with him wherever he went, and the item inspired fear in people.

That was when the Pokémon betrayed him and the Broken found him, in one of his haunts. He was taken into their group and took with him only a small, loyal band of Pokémon, and he resentfully let them. He is still there, alone but in a group, together, but apart.

Can we have more than 1 SU?

@AlphaMouse; Approved, and that's fine.

Can I be reserved as well? I'd been thinking of a new character and I think they'll work out for this.

@Lucius; Reserved.

With the nicknames, I feel like I'm stealing from Bioshock...

Name: Catherine White

Nickname: Silence (but in some cases, she’s referred to as “Little Sister”)

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bi-curious

Age: 13

Appearance: Catherine’s hair is long and wavy, reaching down to her middle back. It normally appears brown, but it shines a brilliant copper in the sunlight. Her right eye is brown, but her left eye is blue. She’d normally wear comfortable clothes, like loose T-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, Jeans, and almost never wears shoes.

Personality: Catherine was born Deaf and Mute, thus giving her the nickname “silence”. She can’t express anything through words and has a horrible time trying to understand lip-reading. She relies on her Pokémon very much to hear and speak, and thus she has an extremely close bond to her Pokémon. She absolutely loves Pokémon and treats them like her siblings. Catherine is usually kind-hearted, but because of her life in her early childhood, she may act feral when feeling threatened.

History: Catherine was born to very irresponsible and neglectful parents in the outskirts of Anville Town. They didn’t want to deal with her disabilities, so they never taught her how to lip read or even understand sign-language. They treated her like an animal and put her outside whenever she had thrown a temper tantrum, no matter what the temperature or weather.
In the lonely days of being forced outside, she had found a way to escape her parents. Catherine had discovered that Pokémon lived outside the boundaries of her home, and she instantly fell in love with them. She had spent two years playing with these Pokémon, and she had begun to make herself believe that she was a Pokémon herself. She refused to eat human food and only ate berries, she went as far as to walk on four legs and bare her teeth at people who walked by.
She was only four years old when she had met her first Pokémon. A mysterious Kirlia with one blue eye had walked into the neighborhood, hiding from Pokémon trainers attempting to catch her. Catherine had run into the Kirlia, and became fast friends. The two had a sisterly bond, and one day, the Kirlia had used her telepathy to talk to her. Over the years, Kirlia had taught several skills (including the English language) to the child, in hopes of making her act like a human again. When Catherine was 7 years old, Kirlia had seen what her parents were like, and thus became over-protective of the girl. Not even a month later, Catherine had run away with Kirlia and had begun their life as travelers, living off of whatever they could find.
6 years had passed since then, Kirlia had evolved into Gardevoir (now taken up the nickname “Big Sister”) and the duo refers to each other as sisters. Upon discovering “The Broken” in Castelia, Catherine had been curious about it and wanted to join. Gardevoir was skeptical about it, but had gone with her “Little Sister”, knowing that if there was any danger, she could protect her.

Hometown: Anville Town

Pokemon: Gardevoir, F, “Big Sister”, and Telepathy (only Pokémon so far)

Skills: Catherine has amazing climbing skills, due to the fact that she had climbed so many trees since she ran away. She also can easily understand the body language of Pokémon and gets along with almost every Pokémon. Even though it still has yet to be proved, some believe that she shares the ability to hear Pokémon along with N.

Other: The way Catherine hears and talks is through Big Sister. The Gardevoir transfers whatever she hears into telepathy and sends it to Catherine’s mind. Being able to read minds, Big Sister reads what Catherine wants to say and then she tells others through her Telepathy. Also, since both of them have one blue eye, it’s rumored that they might share genetics, but really, it was just a coincidence.

ALIVE!

@Lucius; Approved, very creative.

Name: Sam Turner
Nickname: Brush
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Age: 16

Appearance: Sam is tall at 6'3", a height which often intimidates people. He was a reasonably toned body, starting to beef out in the latter stages of his youth. He has a brown fringe that, despite everything, he manages to keep in good condition. He has a tanned body and grey eyes that stare steadily straight ahead. He has a confident gait with his long legs and shoe size 12. He wears fake converses most of the time, not believing in the trend of flip-flops or having the resources to buy some good trainers. He wears a random T-shirt with jeans, covered up by a black hoodie.

Personality: Sam is a natural leader, kind, relaxed, and tries to inspire other people around him. He imagines himself as Becca's Deputy, although no-one has that role and he is not senior enough to imagine that. He likes most other kids, and if he doesn't shows respect to them. He has a sense of honour, and gives back to those who give. He is also ambitious and tries hard to gain merit and good standing with other members of the Broken. He trusts everyone, and this often leads to people exploiting this trust. In a group he is relaxed and likes to laugh and joke.

History: Sam was one of those kids who tried hard but was never quite the top of the class. He was smart, undoubtebly, but never quite beat the geniusses or the uber-hard workers. He decided that the life of an Academic wasn't working for him, and told his parents this. They were hardly amused, but accepted this and suggested that he work for an Apprentiship, or pursue the arts. Sam still disagreed, he didn't know what to do yet, and so he arranged to go away for a year or two until he had. He travelled, slowly accumulating a group of Pokémon around him, until he bumped into the Broken in their infancy in Castelia. He would consider himself one of the original members and intends to stay there.

Hometown: Nacrene City

Pokemon: Pignite-M-Blaze Genghis
Rufflet-M-Keen Eye Montgomery
Gollet-M-Iron Fist Caesar
Axew-f-Mold Breaker Arthur

Skills: Natural Leadership
Other: Alive!

Name: Chris De Niro
Nickname: Otaku De Nerdo, "Zero"
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Age: 14

Appearance: Standing tall at 5,11 and weighing 170 pounds, Chris would be a intimidating figure...if he didn't slouch all the time. His long black hair covers his pale face, from a life of rarely going outside. The only thing that adds color to his face are his many pimples and green eyes. Wearing a black shirt with a skull on it, he completes his limited wardrobe with a pair of ripped jeans with black shoes.

Personality: Chris is very lazy. He would rather spend all day playing video games than any real work. He looks at pokemon as friends, but often treats them as characters in a video game. He cares for everyone in The Broken but is often harassed by them. Despite being weak, he has a great deal of potential. Probably.

History: Born and raised in Aspertia City, Chris was always content with spending his days playing games such as Alive! and Left 5 ever. Whenever the time came for him to begin his journey, he would always find a way out of it. Eventually, his father (A famous trainer himself) removed all of his systems, threw him some eggs, and locked him out of the house. Determined to prove his father he could be successful, he set off to Castelia City join Game Freak. When he got there, however, Game Freak had left. Left with no money and no way to contact home, Chris was forced to live on the streets. Once, he was about to get mugged by a small group of thugs, but was saved by some members of The Broken. Determined to repay his debt to them, he joined and began focusing on raising his pokemon. Kinda.

Hometown: Aspertia City.
