Character Profiles
Information on the various characters of the fanfic.

Students of Rukh's University:

Frisco "Fritz" Westmyn: UPDATED!
Pokemon on Hand - Nidorina, Tangela, Mareep, Eevee, Huntail, Vespiquen
Reserves - Five others

The protagonist, titular character, and narrator. Although a new student at the growing Rukh's University, one of many facilities that typically house older newcomers to Pokemon, he already has shown to have a competent level of experience. He said that he's been practicing on and off with them since he was five years old. Currently nineteen as of January.

Fritz is disliked by most of the faculty due to his being from Mexico, the most prominent example being Aiden Kripps - VP of Rukh's. Fortunately, the principal of the University likes and respects him, and refuses to kick him out. He's treated varyingly by his peers. The general rule seems to be the longer they've been at the school, the less they like him, but most seem to show him respect.

Thatcher Li: UPDATED!
Pokemon - Sandshrew, Eevee, Taillow, ???

A student at Rukh's University and friend of Fritz Westmyn. His goal in life is to be a Pokemon Coordinator, though his total lack of charm, charisma, and confidence are major deterants to his dream. Regardless, he certainly has their style of dress down. Besides his clothing with fanciful Pokemon designs, he often wears a black and primarily teal jacket - which he has a habit of recoiling into when frightened. He idolizes Maribel Capdevila, due to how she was able to follow her dream and become a coordinator.

Thatcher and Reika were apparently childhood friends, but the extent of this is unclear at this point. Both also have a history with one Josef Northrop, who appears to have bullied them. Thatcher holds a strong admiration towards Fritz that is only matched by his admiration towards Maribel, a stark contrast to their female friend.

Reika Easton: UPDATED!
Pokemon - Wigglytuff, Eevee, Marill, One Other

A student at Rukh's University. Her meeting with Fritz is incidental, although the two become friends.in short order. A chubby girl (described as Fritz as "not fat or curvy"), her spiteful and impulsively temperamental personality can be a bit of a load to bear at times. Even Fritz is no exception, although she eventually made it clear she truly appreciates his friendship. Reika's birthday is April 16th, and she is presently eighteen.

Fritz recognized her last name, although he didn't say from where specifically. Josef's nickname for her (Freak-Eye) comes from her hazel-colored eyes with a green luster in the light. She broke her right leg after a nasty fall during confrontation against The Beast of Abet. Though she's gotten used to it as of late, it still is a problem when it comes to stairs or long distances.

Cronus Aporon: UPDATED!
Pokemon - Cradily, Gyarados, Skuntank, Three Others

A fourth-year student at Rukh's University (his final year). Described as its "crown jewel" by the staff, he is by far the best battler in the school. Despite being a bit of a jerk at times, he is loved and well-respected by his peers. He normally has a jock-like yet understanding personality, sort of the role model and older-brother-to-all type, but he does have a temper inside him (occasionally a really nasty one). Although his core group of friends stick up for him in less-than-desirable ways, he rarely speaks out against them. By contrast, he is against other wrongdoings.

He often wears a jacket sporting the school's insignia (a stylized bird) and colors (red and silver). Aporon is around 5'7'' and has kempt brown hair, sideburns, and tiny beard.

David:
Pokemon - Poliwrath, Others?

One of Aporon's circle of friends. David is a third-year student and a self-superior preppy type in both dress and personality. Like his partners in crime, he was personally tutored by Cronus Aporon. However, Biology and sticking out don't seem to be his strong suits. Fritz can hardly remember the guy's name.

He does not like to eat processed foods.

Edgar:
Pokemon - Primeape, Others?

One of Aporon's circle of friends. Edgar is also a third-year student. He dresses casually in whit shirts and blue jeans, and is a bit of a fratboy. He is dyslexic, large, and VERY temperamental. Although when push comes to shove, his recklessness usually screws him over. He's very easy to egg on, and as such defends Aporon more than the others.

In-battle, he seems to have a very power-based style, although does balance it out with tricks.

Lawrence: UPDATED!
Pokemon - Venusaur, Others?

The last of Aporon's circle of friends. A lecherous nerd who, much like Fritz, was a first-year student transfered to the Tactics class due to his talent. Presently a second-year. He's quite short, has bad acne, and has thick glasses. Ironically, he may or may not be closeted, despite his womanizing nature. He's a very hard person to get a read on.

He seems to be the most disjointed of Aporon's group, but gets along with them quite well.

Muriel Palmoni:
Pokemon - Hariyama, Others?

Another fourth-year student at Rukh's University. Fritz saw her Hariyama battling an Ursaring when he was transferred to the Tactics class, where it threw its weight around to earn a victory by opponent submission. While a talented battler as a result, her harsh style and nasty attitude has garnered her a negative reputation. Even her sister can't deny it, though doesn't judge her for it. The second-best battler at Rukh's after Aporon, and on his bad side.

Muriel is quite tall, has black hair styled into a bobcut with white streaks, and cold, verdant eyes. She often dresses like a punk or a goth.

Phoebe Palmoni: UPDATED!
Pokemon - Floatzel, Others?

Muriel's sister, and Aporon's second choice for mentorship during the tournament (solely as a slight to his rival). Although their treatment of Fritz is more a receipt for his disrespect, they treat Phoebe even worse and with seemingly geniune contempt.

Phoebe is around 5'1'', has a different dress to, and a much kinder disposition than her sister, but the resemblance is clear enough. Though implied the siblings have a good relationship (at least from Phoebe's end), their similarities end with appearances. Phoebe is kinder and more caring than her sister, but is less tenacious and self-reliant. Not necessarily a pessimist, but if not that, certainly a realist.

Elyna Dragomir:
Pokemon - ???

A cold-hearted transfer-student and associate of Cronus Aporon, and apparently the best battler of the third-year students (despite not battling much). Nicknamed "The Ice Princess" for both her ruthless nature and choice of Pokemon, she was trained by the late Lorelei of the Kanto Elite Four on the Orange Islands. Some say she has the potential to be as masterful at the Ice type as her mentor. Many students fear her.

She is a cameo character, played by AiedailEclipsed.

Liane Weiks:
Pokemon - ???

A trendy blonde-haired girl with sapphire-hued eyes and shoulder-length bangs, she is an aspiring coordinator. A fan of Augustus Gabriel. While usually passive and polite, she has a short-temper towards some, acting with self-superiority and constant criticism.

Formerly Reika's roommate, by virtue of the room number (168) being her lucky number. After disagreements between them, she put a plot in motion for the theft of an expensive collector's bust in their room. Fritz managed to prove his friend taking it as impossible; Liane left in disappointment with Cinque, and returned spouting a refined rant, indirectly revealing her plan and how it backfired when someone really stole it. Sometime after that, she just got a room change.

Carlie:
Pokemon - ???

A first-year student. Girlfriend of Andrew. Tomboyish in dress and demeanor, but quite quiet otherwise. May not get out in the sun very much.

Irene Faris: UPDATED!
Pokemon - Lapras, ???

A first-year student who is a friend of Carlie and Andew, as well as Liane Weiks. With light blonde hair cut short and aqua blue eyes, she often dresses in revealing attire. Irene is quite nasty towards those she dislikes, but feels a little more normal when not in one of their presence.

Born in the Orange Islands, Irene is the cousin of coordinator Celeste Faris, and holds great respect for Elyna Dragomir. The latter coached her to her defeat Ina (being aided by Fritz) in a battle, brought on by the ditzy girl defending her former friend. Was also part of the group accusing Reika of the theft of the bust, where she repeatedly referred to her as a "fat broad". May stem from Reika believing her mother (on the staff) to be promiscuous, a fact that isn't necessarily untrue.

Andrew:
Pokemon - ???

A first-year student. Boyfriend of Carlie. This ginger dresses in pure white in contrast to Carlie's darker colors. Seems to be more of a follower, and may be slightly fearful of Fritz.

Cinque:
Pokemon - ???

One of Liane's friends; a taller girl with no fashion sense and a grating rural accent. A little slow in the head...

Ina Nanaba:
Pokemon - Bellossom (Reedy), Glaceon (Snowy)

A ditzy, enthusiastic, bubbly girl who is generally pleasant to people. A former friend of Reika Easton's, although the details of their falling out - let alone how they could've been friends at any point - are uncertain. Ina doesn't seem to harbor any resentment, but the same can't be said about Reika. Tends to use a lot of cutesy terms and gives similar nicknames to people; also giving the latter to her Pokemon.

She is surprisingly resourceful in battle for a relative beginner. She frequently teaches her Pokemon TMs and knows/understands a few advanced techniques. However, she isn't aware of some intricacies or basic concepts, leading to a few awkward moments.

Teiko:
Pokemon - ???

Teikō's girlfriend. Fritz met both in Sciences early before school reopened; they apparently went home while the school was closed and just made it back in time. Seems to be level-headed.

Teikō:
Pokemon - ???

Teiko's boyfriend. The more excitable of the two. Fritz finds the fact that they're a couple with similar names quite amusing.

Premala Amani Yuhawlah: NEW!
Pokemon - ???

A mysterious girl who is the head of Rukh's Activism Club...and maybe more. A second year student, she is one of the school's most beautiful (if eccentric) individuals - physical and psychological traits both considered. She has some form of mental abilities, of which speaking into the mind appears to be one. Dresses in a two-piece violet robe, has green eyes, and oddly, dyes her hair green as well.

Premala has a romantic interest in Fritz (who she always addresses by Frisco), making absolutely no attempt to conceal it, but he is unsure about her motivations. May have some level of pull at the school, but seems unassociated with the principal or vice principal.

Faculty of Rukh's University:

Dean Howard Finkerton:
A greedy, yet reasonable and intelligent businessman and Principal of the University. He prefers long-term fiscal planning to cheap cash grabs. Dean Howard is a fairly straightforward man. He only judges people by two things: their money, and how they use it. Besides that, he's non-judgmental, as shown by how he doesn't care for Fritz' nationality. Fritz ironically considers him one of the few people he can trust for this reason.

Finkerton has been working hard to expand Rukh's University for the three years he's been in power. Despite questionable ethics, he's made the place huge. Perhaps mercifully for the student populace he views as nothing more than a source of income, benefiting them often benefits him as well.

Aiden Kripps:
The vice principal at Rukh's University. A man with a chiseled frame, but (described by Fritz) a caricature of a face. He seems to have a distaste for Dean Finkerton, although ironically can be identically nasty. Fritz first met him when he was being transferred to Tactics class.

Kripps is among the biggest xenophobes on the staff, and is Fritz' main detractor. He attempted to accuse Fritz of starting the fire that burned down the Rangerism/Breeding stables, but failed when a second opinion thought otherwise. Nevertheless, he vowed to do whatever it takes - including going over his superior's head - to get Fritz out of his school.

Dr. Spfogckdl:
The teacher of the Sciences class at Rukh's, which is primarily a Biology class. Of German decent, his odd name is VERY roughly pronounced Sphogkettle. But a curse on you if you actually pronounce it that way. He looks like a fun guy to be around - almost sporting a mad scientist look - but is quite dull aside from a few eccentricies. Usually seen wearing his faded, dusty (once)-yellow lab coat.

Mr. Yamaguchi:
An old-school Japanese man, the Socials Teacher of Rukh's University, and one of Fritz' detractors on the staff. 66 years old, he looks at least 106 by Fritz' opinion. Revolting to look at, although his traditional attire mercifully covers most of his boney body.

Mr. Yamaguchi may not agree with some of the choices his coworkers make, though many of the students disagreed with his assigning a missed week's work or assignments. He chose to blame it on Fritz' failing to stop the fire. At least seems willing to teach him, as long as he's willing to learn.

Ms. Odell:
The Arts teacher at Rukh's. She was recently hired, being as new to the school as the students she teaches. She's ditzy, she doesn't dress appropriately (in Reika's eyes, at least), and is a little flirty.

She tried to use the lattermost to charm boys into teaching Art class for her, though they were more disturbed than anything else. Oddly, didn't think to ask Fritz, Teikō, or a girl.

Mr. Wu:
The Batttling teacher at Rukh's. A calm elderly man who's good at taking charge and keeping control.

Mr. Baiaz:
The Tactics Teacher at Rukh's. Not much more is known at this point.

Wendell Worus IV:
The school's Rangerism teacher, and a good friend of Mr. Zygon. Far better prepared than him for his stables being burned to the ground by an unknown individual.

Mr. Zygon:
The Breeding teacher. Wished for the school to remain closed a while, though Dean Finkerton was having none of it.

Mr. Perry Wippleman:
A tall and lanky man whose manners of speech tend to be really roundabout. In charge of student relations at Rukh's University, specifically for first-year students. Possibly in an affair with a fellow staff member.

Mr. Squibb:
In charge of course management. He was there to transfer Fritz to Tactics Class. He still remains around the school during weekends, and thus was recruited by Liane to aid in her plot to get Reika thrown out.

Mrs. Shugiri:
A long-time employee of Rukh's University, Mrs. Shugiri is the librarian and disciplinarian of the school. One of those strict-types in a hairbun, she is all-business in how she handles her career. She tends to look at the facts a lot, and does her research. She can be quite harsh and unforgiving, but as long as you don't break the rules, you're fine in her books.

Has a belief that rules and the law are absolute. She understood the predicament Reika and Thatcher were in, but remained stoic in punishing them for heading to Abet's Bluff.

The Traveling Hobos:

Mr. Gruff: UPDATED!
A kind-hearted, blustery man who, true to his moniker, has an untamed brown hairstyle and beard. Stylish in dress and demeanor even by the average man's standards, he is rarely seen without his trademark Gatsby Cap. He is very eccentric, but has a strong moral base.

He aided Fritz, Reika, and Thatcher when they were left without a place to rest for Rukh's weeklong closure, and also helped find Thatcher when he ran away. He's second only to the elder hobo in respect his fellows give.

Biggie:
The strong and silent type, and likely one of the more well-respected of the travelling hobos. A firm believer that actions speak louder than words, although his rare words are enough to get people to listen regardless.

Gumbo:
A habitual chewer of gum. In his own words, unless he is eating or sleeping, he can't help but chew gum. Disgustingly enough, continues to chew as he speaks.

People of Japan:

Josef Northrop:
Pokemon - Sceptile, Others?

Childhood bully of Reika and especially Thatcher. The large and imposing Josef is, like many youth in Japan, a trainer on a journey. He finds the prospect of their going to a Pokemon school amusing. Didn't seem to give Cronus Aporon much favor either, entering a small game of one-upsmanship with him when the two of them and Ina battled Fritz, Reika, and Thatcher.

He's quick-witted, sharp-tongued, and a little flamboyant - taking on a very joking tone with his many insults (many of which come in rhyme). He tends to back off when people verbally fight back, though. Oddly modest and down-to-earth at moments, referring to himself as a "humble success story".

Burt Garfunkel:
Pokemon - Poochyena

Moldeau Town's Chief of Police. Fritz met him two days after the fire to give his account as sole witness to the events. Described by Fritz as "the archetype of a good cop," there is no one he doesn't give respect to.

Coordinators of Japan

Maribel Capdevila NEW!
Pokemon: Absol, Mawile, Sealeo, Wormadam-P, at least two others

Thatcher's idol. Born in Petalburg City, she followed her dream to become a highly talented coordinator. One of Japan's biggest celebrities, even though she has never gotten near the top. She seems to have a talent for making fanciful outfits for her appearances, or at least knows someone who does. Has a fierce rivalry with Augustus Gabriel.

Augustus Gabriel NEW!
Pokemon: Luxray, Bronzong, Wartortle, at least three others

Hailing from Floaroma in Sinnoh, Augustus Gabriel is a fourth-generation coordinator, much like his father, his grandmother, and great-grandfather. He always knows how to ellict a response from a crowd, be it a positive or negative one. He takes all of it with stride in the end. Shares an intense rivalry with Maribel Capdevila.

Ward Whalz NEW!
Pokemon: ???

Second-generation pupil of Juan de Maréaux. Tutored by one of his students (Wallace), Ward Whalz followed in their footsteps as being a former Gym Leader of Sootopolis City, a Top Coordinator, and Water Pokemon master. And just like them, Whalz has his own thing that makes him distinct: a line of health-care and grooming products for Pokemon.

Oddly, though coordinators usually dabble in the elegant, Ward Whalz is anything but. He's a rather large individual who's more to-the-point, but looks can be deceiving.
