    Still working on it.

    Name: Kite

    Age: 27

    Gender: Male

    Appearance: Fair skin, medium brown hair with whispy bangs, hazel eyes, athletic build. Wears a plain white muscle shirt and blue jeans.

    Personality:

    History: Raised to be a mechanic but with the soul of a pilot, Kite spent his life confined within the borders of isolated Cinnabar island. He aspired from childhood to voyage the skies above as an ocean, though he wouldn't leave the comfortable nest of his home until much later. He lived a typical boy's life. He made decent marks in school and helped his father in the shop when he wasn't doing homework. Though he had no passion for the work of a mechanic, he fully expected he would work in the family business when he came of age, and he did.

    He loves Pokemon, especially flying types, but his primary contact with Pokemon were his father's helpers and so he thought Pokemon were not much more than pets when used aside from utilitarian purposes. He did of course occasionally hear of a classmate leaving for a Pokemon journey, but on Cinnabar island that was not the typical route. Leaving on a journey could be especially dangerous as one would have to cross either the seas or the skies, or else it was really expensive if one chose to go by boat. Besides, he had no Pokemon to call his own, that is until one day.

    At the age of 21 on his way to pick up parts for the shop he happened upon an injured Pidgey, an ironically hawkish fellow it turned out, but the injured creature was too weak to resist Kite's aid. He kept him at home and nursed him back to health in the course of a few weeks. He would witness the winged creature almost daily attempt to escape his cage, and he watched him sympathetically, seeing in the bird a kind of analogy to his own situation. It was with much remorse that Kite released the Pidgey after recovery, but not without giving him a bell in order to identify the bird, just in case. He would become rather melancholy in the days that passed without him, but the bird returned to visit periodically. Though Pidgey was not the type to be kept in a cage, and Kite at the time had no idea what he would do with his own Pokemon, in short order Pidgey was not only tamed, but the two became best friends.

    His newfound Pidgey was not yet going to get him off of Cinnabar Island. He saved up money from his father's job and as soon as opportunity presented itself he set sail on a boat away from his home. He traversed Kanto, and in time became a reknowned Flying-type tamer, and his flying Pokemon would put on shows that would bedazzle the crowds at Pokemon contests around the world. He has no abiding home, but goes wherever there is adventure to be found, and thus he sets his heart on charting the auspicious Alolan skies.

    Pokemon Team:
    Pidgeot
    Dragonite
    Scyther
    Fletchling

    Other: Kite lives for sky battling, but isn't much of a threat in ordinary battles. He will also repair your vehicle, if need be.

    Name: Sable Hawthorn

    Age: 19

    Gender: Female

    Appearance: Sable is a tall and lanky woman whose dark skin and bright blue eyes are about the only features worth noting at first glance. She lacks a figure that would turn any heads, and while she is athletic, she doesn’t have much in the way of muscle that would be viewed as out of the ordinary for a trainer. Her black hair tends to be cut short to keep it out of the way, and she doesn’t bother with things such as makeup outside of important events.

    Even her outfits tend to be fairly boring to look at. A dark brown windbreaker over a white tank top, cut-off black jean shorts, and brown hiking boots are the norm while in the Alola Region. She’s joked before that the shorts are the only reason people tend to realize she’s actually a girl, although she knows that it’s a bit of an exaggeration.

    Personality: Sable is a fairly friendly and excitable person who has been cursed with a notable case of social anxiety. She will run into a situation and do what she thinks is right, and should that not involve talking to people she will do it without hesitating in the slightest. In conversations, on the other hand, she tends to shut down and rely on others to speak for her, unless she has become comfortable around the person to whom she is speaking. For that to happen requires either a great deal of time or an experience that proves without a doubt that they do not mean to harm her.

    Her greatest strength is how quickly she picks things up. As such, while she herself is not good at talking to people she’s not comfortable around, it is useful to have her around during important conversations. It was because of this that she is a member of Team Hourglass, having picked up the potential for Natural Order to not be what it seemed even before the letter showed up, just as Team Plasma had been in her home region of Unova.

    History: Sable’s early life in Accumula Town was fairly simple and easy. Neither of her parents were trainers, but their jobs paid enough that there was never really any worry about money in her household. It was because of this that she was able to wander into the Pokémon Center one day and buy a few Pokéballs with money to spare.

    Her beginning as a trainer began a few months after that, when a stray Purrloin somehow managed to get into her house while her parents were away. After befriending the small bundle of apathy, mostly through feeding it, she convinced it to stay with her and captured it with one of the Pokéballs.

    In hindsight, her parents took that a lot better than she had any right to expect, since she had hid even the fact that she had bought Pokéballs from them.

    The journey that followed was both harder than she expected and more rewarding than she ever could have imagined. Her bond with Imp the soon-to-be-Liepard grew, and with each new member of her team she captured a new bond was formed, which then began to grow just as surely. Along the way she began to grow a bit bitter about the idea of Team Plasma, who would have made it so she never even met Imp in the first place.

    When she finally had her fill of the Unova Region, she journeyed back to Castelia City and got on the first boat she could find heading to the Alola Region, because it seemed like a nice place to go on a vacation to reward her Pokémon for their hard work.

    Her entire time in Alola was almost ruined the moment she heard of Natural Order, who reminded her far too much of Team Plasma. She nonetheless did her best to enjoy herself while she was there; exploring all the beautiful landmarks that the Region had to offer and even capturing a new team member while doing so. She nearly managed to forget her worries about Natural Order until the letter showed up.

    It was a long, sleepless night during which she considered what to do about the confirmation of her fears, before finally deciding that she couldn’t stand the idea of letting a second Team Plasma run around without intervention.

    Pokemon Team:
    Female Liepard; Imp.
    Male Swoobat; Robin.
    Female Whimsicott; Tinker Bell.
    Female Confagrigus; Lucy.
    Female Meinshao; Yang.
    Male Drampa; Albus.

    Other: All of her Pokémon know Protect. Every last one of them. Fighting her tends to be more annoying than it is truly difficult.

    Name: Garret Marshall

    Age: 24

    Gender: Male

    Appearance: Garret stands at 5 ft 9, and fairly well built, both naturally, and from his line of work. He has a somewhat tanned complexion, after living in Alola for seven years, white fairly short, blonde hair. His hands and arms are lightly scarred from the odd cut and scrape from working in the garage.

    When he is working, he tends to wear the same pair of navy blue overalls and a slightly torn white t-shirt. He wears black steelcap boots, and is usually covered in oil and grease, and smells of petrol.

    Granted he scrubs up alright when he isn't working. He is very clean (which after working forty hours a week around engines, isn't an easy feat), usually wearing shorts and a button up shirt, switching to jeans if the weather is a little cold, and throwing in a hooded jacket as well. His footwear of choice outside of work is a pair of Converses.
    Personality: Garret cares about money and little else. All of what he does, he does with the intention of ending up richer. Granted, this has worked for him. He is 24, and has $300,000 in savings, after paying back his father. He is self centered, and doesn't tend to think much about others. One example of this is the fact that he has little to no problem using stolen parts. He has become involved somewhat in the criminal underworld. When a car is stolen, it is hard to do anything with it. If it is driven on roads with it's old plates, they get caught out. They can't sell it. So they strip it for parts, and Garret buys what's useful from them at a discounted rate. He has also purchased a few illegal weapons from these clients, due to his garage being broken into. There have been instances where from his office, he has seen someone trying to break in on security cameras, and had to pull a gun on them.

    Basically, he will ask no questions, as long as he gets paid. There have been instances where he has fixed a car up with questionable damage, then seen it on the news two weeks later used in a drive-by shooting. There are rare instances where it seems like Garret will be thinking about someone else, other than himself, but that is quite rare.


    History: Garret was born into wealth. He was the second son of a stockbroker from Goldenrod City, who was considered to be at the peak of his career. His father only cared about money, spending more time at work than at home, and when he would get time off, it'd be spent on flashy holidays to other regions. Garret hardly knew his father. He was brought up more by his mother who was a stay-at-home mum. Even though she tried to bring her sons up to care about more than money and themselves, they took after their father, and became accustomed to the luxuries they lived in.

    Garret was sent to the best private schools. The little time he did spend with his father, it was always mentioned how he had to do well in school, and get a job that paid well like his fathers.

    Garret and his brother were surprisingly close, even though there was a seven year age difference. When Garret was fourteen, his brother was a qualified mechanic. Their father was disappointed in him for choosing such a middle class profession, that didn't pay very well, purely because he enjoyed it.

    Garret would spend his weekends, and some days ditching school, in his brother's shop, watching him fix and modify cars, and learning how they worked. Over time he began to share his brother's love for cars, and appreciate the genius behind how they worked, and ditched school more and more to spend time in the workshop, as well as spending his time researching on his own. By the time he was eighteen, he was a mechanical genius, exceeding his brother's knowledge. This however was kept secret from his dad. Not that it was hard. It's not like he was around. But he knew that for his plan to work, he'd have to convince his dad that he wasn't going down a similar path to his brother.

    When he finished school, he applied for a business degree in Hoenn, similar to what his father did when he was Garret's age. He got accepted. Because they could afford to pay it outright, Garret was given a loan of $250,000 from his father to cover the costs of university, and living expenses for the next four years.

    However instead of going to Hoenn to study at University, Garret went in the opposite direction, getting on a plane to Alola. He had researched the Alola region and found that there were very few garages there. Most mechanic's were mobile and worked out of a van, which restricted what they could do massively. The cost of opening a proper garage there was too high for most mechanics to do. It was a market where he could use the $250,000 to get himself started, and put himself ahead of the competition. As well as to get involved with the customer base. Hau'oli City was known for it's car culture.

    Garret rented a warehouse in Hau'oli City, and purchased everything he needed to make it a professional garage. He even converted one of the offices at the rear into a room for him to sleep in. He knew that he wouldn't get the business he needed straight away. So instead of advertising for his first month in Alola, he instead purchased three rolling shells. A Mazda RX5, a Nissan S15 Sylvia and a AE86 Toyota Sprinter Trueno. He built the cars from near nothing, modifying them heavily to beat just about anything down the quarter mile, and plastering his garage name on them. He then went to anywhere where young car enthusiasts with money to burn would meet, and wore a racing helmet to conceal his identity, challenging people to races, with the wager being in the thousands. After two weeks of doing this, he stopped. He had won enough money to cover the cost of building the cars, and done exactly what he wanted. He had got their attention.

    Since then, Garret has been flat out fixing, tuning and modifying cars. Due to the specialist work he does, such as engine swaps and installing turbochargers, as opposed to just general services and repairs, he has made much more money than your standard mechanic. Two years after he moved, his father found out that he'd been lied to, and demanded the money back. Garret sent him two cheques. One for $250,000. The money he borrowed. And one for $50,000. To never contact him again.

    Pokemon Team:
    Alolan Golem
    Sableye
    Absol
    Metagross
    Feraligatr
    Alolan Nintetales

    Other:
    -Garret will have a change of heart at some point.
    -Golem and Metagross help him with his work in the garage. Absol and Sableye tend to guard the garage, in case of break-ins.
    -Garret collects cars as a hobby, fixing them up and selling them for profit, which is where he makes a good portion of his income. As it stands, he has an S15 Nissan Silvia and FD Mazda RX7 completed, as well as a couple being built (the others mentioned in history have been sold since).

    @Pokemon Trainer Sarah @Wisteria @Midnight Sun

    Whew, finally got done looking through everyone's SUs, and they look good! Welcome to Team Hourglass, everyone. (Well, except for Garret. He doesn't get welcomed yet, but that has more to do with HIM rather than his SU. XD)

    Name: Morgan “Camelot” Fey
    Age: 23
    Gender: Female
    Appearance: Morgan is a 5’6 lean woman with shoulder length brown hair. Her eyes are a jade green and her complexion is slightly darker than a normal Hearthome native due to her recent travels. Her current outfit is a blue tank top with white shorts and white shoes. She tends to rotate hats if she chooses to wear them as well, but her outfit choices tend to change quite rapidly when she spots a new fashion store. Morgan does wear a tad bit of makeup but not so much that it looks unnatural. She could be considered pretty though she’s no model. Her most attractive feature is her laugh.
    Personality: Morgan is a bubbly young woman that mainly does things because they seem fun. She tends to get distracted a bit too easily, which is why her partner, Arthur, is usually around to keep her in line. If she puts effort into it, Morgan can focus and get the job done, but it’s probably best to have someone around to keep her from getting sidetracked. Morgan also loves to eat, and upon arriving in Alola found that she would die for malasadas. She has a big appetite and gets hungry pretty easily, so she’s been known to pack a bunch of food rather than actually packing necessary supplies. Morgan is also not one to get angry. Usually if she gets mad it only lasts a few minutes before she dissolves into tears.

    Morgan’s greatest strength lies in her utter determination. In the few cases where she’s not off chasing anything that catches her attention, Morgan can actually show a fiercer side that will do everything in her power to get something done. She loves sweets and clothing shopping, but is also a total sucker for Pokemon Contests, and it’s a little known secret that she wants to pursue a career as a coordinator someday. Morgan does not like aggressive people. If someone is prone to outbursts or yelling, Morgan tends to stay away from them due to the fact that she’s afraid she’ll start crying in front of them. Morgan also can’t stand to see an abandoned pokemon, and will pick up any pokemon in need no matter what pokemon they are. As a result, one of her brothers who runs a small plantation in Almia raises many of the pokemon Morgan rescues. Morgan is also allergic to shellfish.
    History: Morgan was born in Hearthome City, Sinnoh. Morgan was the youngest child, with five older brothers. She grew up strolling in Amity Park, attending fashion contests, and living the pleasured life for the most part. While she wasn’t from a well off family, she still had expendable money and lived a fairly pleasant first eighteen years. She received her first pokemon, a ralts named Arthur, when she was sixteen. Morgan originally studied to be a fantasy writer, loving the myths that she had heard as a child, and she wanted to create her own or put spins on them. By the time she was nineteen, Morgan published her first book under the pseudonym “Camelot”, a revamping of the old Arthurian myths that she had heard a child. It was a bestseller right off, prompting Morgan to write even more tales. While she has yet to reveal herself as Camelot, a few theories have been going around connecting her to the author, and Morgan loves to disguise herself as another fan on online forums to discuss her works. Sometimes she even includes some of the ideas her fans bring up.

    After the publishing of her first book, Morgan received the opportunity to travel through all the regions across the known world, allowing her to catch more pokemon and expand the cast within her stories. Morgan even took on a few gyms in a variety of regions, just to test her team’s abilities. Currently she has the Thunder Badge, the Soul Badge, the Zephyr Badge, the Fog Badge, the Knuckle Badge, the Dynamo Badge, the Fen Badge, the Relic Badge, the Basic Badge, the Jet Badge, the Fairy Badge, and the Sea Ruby Badge. Upon arriving in Alola, Morgan had intended to take on the Island Trials, but found some disturbing news about the Natural Order. Deciding to bring a bit more excitement into her life as well as possibly give her more inspiration for writing, Morgan decided to join Team Hourglass’s cause.
    Pokemon Team:
    Arthur the Gallade
    Kai the Dragonite
    Mordred the Aegislash
    Llamrei the Rapidash
    Lancelot the Bisharp
    Merlin the Noctowl
    Other: Nothing!

    @Death's Spook @Sanctus I'd like to try getting the RP started in the next week or so, if you could get your SUs finished before then, that would be great. If not, no problem, I won't be closing SUs when the RP starts, just thought I'd give you guys a heads up.
