Cheers and good times!
I like Gef's format. Mimicking for good measure.
Team Name: Team Lockdown
Safehaven: Relic Graveyard Safehaven
Designated Leader: Magnum
Team base: Four Members / One pet
Team Lockdown is one of Relic Graveyard's most renown tactical strike teams and keeps a firm grip on the Fullmoon Highway. Nicknamed "The Slayers of Gods," if any team within Crownless's unit were to track and take down a legendary Pokémon, the probability of it being Team Lockdown is considerably good considering the team prides itself on a brutal, deadly, precise, and by the book military-like precision that uses their own codes and playbooks for assignments and missions. Team Lockdown members can be recognized by their dark-gray RGS bandanas and "Flaming X" tattoos.
Name: Magnum
Age: 31
Gender: Male
Species: Typhlosion
Appearance: Magnum bears the appearance of a true warrior that's no stranger to combat. Magnum stands at six feet tall and weighs 190 pounds, and bears scars and marks from many years of serving as both a guard, sentry, and commando. He wears his bandana around his head, has his Flaming X tattoo on the back of the head, and wears a utility belt with his tools and weapons. He has a knife, but rarely uses it. He also wears gray leather clothing with holes to compensate for the areas in his back where flames spurt out.
Personality: Magnum, trained in combat, is brutal and doesn't take stock in those that use excuses, stupid humor, or spread gossip. He also keeps a tight grip on the leadership of his unit and isn't afraid to question and challenge authority if he feels compelled to. In combat, Magnum can be a beast and cares little about collateral damage. In tight spots, he can be quick to improvise and isn't afraid to go to extreme lengths to survive and carry out mission objectives.
Backstory: Magnum, born from his mother, Swill, and his father, Dash, comes from a clan of Typhlosions, the Sykan, that have always hated the legendary Pokémon. This long line of Pokémon still refuse to acknowledge their power and authority, and have vowed to eliminate them on sight. Magnum was raised with this credo since childbirth and has allowed it to be the driving force of his actions and team operations. Throughout time, he has proven his leadership abilities in very critical times before Crownless, earning him the right to form his own team within the Safehaven.
Moveset: Eruption, Smokescreen, Flamethrower, Earthquake, Brick Break, Rock Slide, Double Team, Giga Impact
Other: Ability: Blaze. Magnum's role in the team is team leader and seasoned commando. Despite his power, strength, and charisma, Magnum has the tendency to come on too strongly and too seriously. This intimidation factor is good against the enemy, but sometimes causes his allies to question his motives and ideals.
Name: Apex
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Species: Emolga
Appearance: Standing 1'06" and weighing twelve pounds, Apex doesn't look too different from most other Emolga save for the dark gray Team Lockdown bandana around his forehead and the Flaming X emblem he has tattooed in his right side. He also wear a dark gray cloak to show his affiliation to RGS and to help better conceal himself. Meanwhile, he also wears a black leather braided necklace he made himself. He doesn't smile as much and as often as other Emolga, and he wears the face of one that has seen some pretty brutal combat in his time. Meanwhile, he has stellar eyesight and perception, able to identify details and scout ahead better than anyone else on the team. Not to mention his soundless ability to fly makes it easy for him to secure vital and tactical vantage points that give Team Lockdown a significant edge in engagement preparation.
Personality: Apex is definitely not like other traditional Emolga. Despite the cute appearance, Apex is definitely ingrained in the Team Lockdown culture and procedure and doesn't mess around or take his role too lightly. Apex is tasked in scouting, reconnaissance, code-breaking, intel, and sometimes stealth and sabotage if the need calls for it. He has the habit of making his own personal opinions and remarks on situations and engagements, but not to the extent of it bothering Magnum or his other team members.
Backstory: Apex was born to his mother, Tanika the Emolga, and his father, Syrokan the Pachirisu. As a child, Apex was exposed to the brutality of life early on and his mother and father definitely didn't let him live a sheltered lifestyle. He was also well-educated in the history of the Kaelus and the betrayal of the legendaries. It was very uncommon for any Emolga to enter combat roles, but Apex was able to find his calling as a recon specialist for Magnum and Team Lockdown. Very few Pokémon are more qualified for his kind of role and with his level of experience.
Moveset: Thunderbolt, Aerial Ace, Tailwind, Wild Charge, Thunder Wave, Flash, Iron Tail, Signal Beam
Other: Ability: Motor Drive. Apex serves Team Lockdown as a surveillance, reconnaissance, and intelligence specialist. While a strong and very perceptive recon specialist, Apex isn't too seasoned when it comes to actual combat and usually tries to avoid getting spotted in the first place. While he can fight, his small size makes him fragile and while nimble, a blow that successfully lands on him would be very painful.
Name: Zilch
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Species: Zoroark
Appearance: Zilch keeps a very wild and "take me as I am or screw you" approach to her appearance. Her fur is often unkempt and she doesn't mind getting her claws and fur dirty if she accomplishes her goals in the process. She bears a few scars from this kind of reckless behavior. Meanwhile, she proudly wears her dark gray bandana around her head and has the Flaming X tattooed on her back, which is difficult to see unless up close. She also wear a dark gray cloak very akin to the Grim Reaper in design along with two bracers made of bone around her wrists with notches for each kill she makes. She also wears a belt for her twin scimitars.
Personality: Zilch is cunning, sly, wild, and incredibly brutal. She is definitely one of the most skilled and guile assassins within all of Relic Graveyard Safehaven and has absolutely no qualms about proving her worth. Her approach is often described as brutal and chaotic, but extremely effective. She also tends to brag and gloat about her skills when she is successful. It grates Magnum's nerves a bit, but never to the point of disciplinary action.
Backstory: Zilch's parents, Skaz her mother and Vash her father, were both killed by bandits when she was very young. Her foster parents, a pair of Ursaring, were almost never able to keep control of Zilch, and after many years of her ignoring their demands, she was sent off for combative training, which she enjoyed to almost disturbing degrees. Now, she is itching for the opportunity to kill a legendary and intends to make trophies and jewelry out of its bones.
Moveset: Feint Attack, Night Slash, Toxic, Shadow Ball, Grass Knot, Dark Pulse, Sucker Punch, Detect
Other: Ability: Illusion. Zilch is Team Lockdown's assassin and stealth specialist as she is able to sneak and trick her way into places where most other Pokémon would be revealed. Meanwhile, her Illusion ability often allows her to take the guise of a completely different Pokémon. Her faults are her overconfidence and impulsive behavior. She also isn't very much of a team player and hates it when others "steal her glory." She also HATES rescue and escort missions and she will not shut up about them if she is expected to undertake them.
Name: Sledge
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Species: Aggron
Appearance: Standing at seven feet tall and weighing 1600 pounds, Sledge has been in plenty of brutal and savage battles, both to the death and simply for sport. As a result, he has plenty of scars, scratches, and marks, but he considers them to be marks of "weakness leaving the body." Unlike the others, Sledge wears his Team Lockdown bandana around his right arm as he can't wear it around his large irregularly-shaped head. Meanwhile, he has the Flaming X tattoo both painted and scratched into the back of his steel-like head. He also wears a dark gray harness, as he doesn't need all that much clothing for warmth due to his natural armor.
Personality: Sledge, despite his combative roots, possesses a very keen sense of right and wrong along with ethics and wisdom. He keeps a protective and selfless approach to his actions, only fighting as a means to a better tomorrow, or as a means of training and growth. As a result, he doesn't enjoy senseless violence or combat, and sometimes gets into disagreements with Zilch as a result.
Backstory: Sledge was born as an Aron to two loving and caring parents, Nax his father, and Juna, his mother, both Aggron. He also lived with his brother, Cex. Both of them were taught the ways of responsibility and selflessness. As a result, Sledge took it upon himself to protect others from harm, especially those that could not bear the burden of being struck by enemy attacks. As there were few positions available for his kind outside of guardian or sentry roles, Sledge enlisted himself into the Relic Graveyard Safehaven and was assigned to Magnum's team as a heavy combat specialist.
Moveset: Heavy Slam, Rock Slide, Double Edge, Dragon Claw, Iron Defense, Earthquake, Fire Blast, Dynamic Punch
Other: Ability: Heavy Metal. Zilch is Team Lockdown's heavy specialist and is often set as the role of "tank" when it comes to combat. His raw strength and endurance makes him a very intimidating and powerful Pokémon in combat, but as expected, his speed and dexterity are very low and unreliable. His large size and slow speed make dodging and retreat almost impossible.
(Pet Form:)
Name: Vin
Gender: Female
Species: Mightyena
Appearance: Vin is about 3'09", not too different from most other Mightyena, although she still bears scars both from combat on the job and before she was previously adopted by Team Lockdown. She wears a dark gray collar and still bears the Flaming X tattoo mark just under her chin.
Moveset: Odor Sleuth, Swagger, Thief, Crunch, Roar, Toxic, Astonish, Snatch, Mud Slap
Other: Ability: Intimidate. Vin is mainly a support feral Pokémon that often targets enemy Pokémon with abnormalities and other ailments that reduce their combat effectiveness. Meanwhile, she is effective in tracking scents and has exceptional hearing ability. So while Apex is the team's "eyes in the sky," Vin covers sounds and smells. She understands some vocal commands, but she cannot fully speak to the other team members and behaves in a similar fashion that a dog would to humans.
