Ahhh, this seems awesome! I'm on an iPod right now, but, I'd love to reserve my spot in this RP! When I get on a computer I'll start some character sheets. :3

Emma's character sheet:

Spoiler:

Name: Emmaline "Emma" Andersen.
Age: Twenty.
Side: Sideless - but personally prefers the Organization to Cipher.
Rank: Her own boss, trying to stay alive.
Gender: Female.

Appearance:
Standing at a petite height of 5'4'', Emma isn't that tall whatsoever. Her small frame allows her to sneak past others easily without being detected usually. She weighs a light 110 lbs - mostly lean muscle and hardly any fat to her bones. Long, mid-back dirty-blonde hair falls over her silhouette and it's hardly ever brushed or kept back. It spikes in tufts here and there without a care in the world (some people think it's professionally done but Emma disagrees - she just doesn't find the time for it - her hair closely resembles Milla's in Tales of Xillia). Her skin-tone is light with some bronze coloring from being out in the sun a lot, thus, light freckles have begun to form on her face and shoulders from the sun exposure. Her lips have also darkened lightly and are a darker shade of pink. Emma's eyes are a tad-bit larger than most of her facial features and they shimmer a profound emerald-color and are definitely her most distinctive feature. When Emma uses her powers, either actively or passively, her eyes glaze into a deep, striking amber-color (which usually signifies to her opponent's, or allies, to take heed and stay away).

Emma's outfit isn't much at all. In fact, since she's been traveling and trying to survive in the Orre Region she hasn't had much time to find a new apparel. Emma wears a red tube-top that bares her stomach. When it's cold she wears a tattered and torn dark denim hoodie. The tears come from Emma - something she isn't proud of. Wrapped around her hands are brown, leather gloves that stretch up to her wrists. The openings of her gloves poof out giving them a fluffed-up look. Her bottom-half consists of wearing white denim-shorts with black leggings that stretch down to her mid-calf. The front of her shorts have seams tearing while her leggings have snags all around the lower part of her legs. Finishing her outfit are mid-calf, black, buckle-less boots that she can easily slip on. They're weather-resistant (although the outsides look somewhat worn). Finishing her outfit are small accessories such as three gold bangles around each wrist and a gold chain around her neck with a single, emerald pendant. She also wears a brown, leather belt that carries each of her Pokemon.

As well as her outfit, Emma carries two more staples to her character, which, are a simple leather and brown satchel and black-colored sunglasses. Inside she carries some rations for both herself and her Pokemon such as berries and herbs. There are a couple of flints and a pocket knife in her bag as well as some bandages and a flask filled with water - most times.

Personality:
Before Emma entered the Orre Region she was careless, happy, and free of burdens. She was a sweet and emotional girl who tried to help anyone she could. However, that all changed within the last five years of living in Orre. Her personality has almost shattered with who she used to be and any remains have been tucked away. Emma has become cold-hearted and doesn't particularly care for anyone else - human-wise. Her trust has deteriorated throughout the years towards fellow humans and she honestly doesn't know who to believe anymore. The only creatures she finds solace with are her own Pokemon.

However, deep down, Emma has a weak disposition. She puts on a false front to keep herself safe from the world. Although most of her traits have shattered throughout the years, her emotional side remains (it is especially evident when her powers trigger). Due to living in the Orre Region, Emma has begun to develop an undiagnosed case of Bipolar Disorder which triggers itself when her powers are used. Although her manic and hypomanic episodes come and go naturally they are sped up every single time her powers are triggered - which, mostly result in manic episodes vs hypomanic ones.

When Emma undergoes one of her episodes it's almost as if she gains an entire new outlook on life itself. Not to be confused with Dissociative Identity Disorder, Emma can either gain a high off of life and become overly talkative and creative (her hypomanic episodes) or become completely depressed, confused, hysteric, and under a form of psychosis (her manic episodes). She becomes extremely dangerous to be around when she's undergoing these moods and can cause quite an amount of destruction. Emma's Pokemon try to keep her under lock and key during this time but during these moods she can become quite manipulative.

History:
Emma was born and raised in the beautiful lands of Hoenn. She was raised in a humble area near Mauville City and was raised to be a well-liked and respectable woman. Emma wasn't one to be spiteful or anything of the sort. In fact, she was a superb role-model and was highly praised and looked upon while she lived in Hoenn. Emma's first Pokemon was an Eevee, her current partner to this day, named Flash. Due to living in the "bright and shiny city of fun" Emma fell deeply in-love with the Electric-types that roamed the area and thus, her Eevee soon-after evolved into a Jolteon. Following Flash's evolution, Emma was roughly thirteen years of age and it was about time she traveled the Hoenn region to indulge in the life of a trainer (being homeschooled meant she was able to travel at an early age). Through her adventures she caught a Feebas (which has since evolved into a beautiful Milotic), a Skarmory (which actually chose Emma as his trainer), and a Shuppet (which has since evolved into a dastardly Banette).

As Emma traveled the vast land of Hoenn for two years she received news that her grandmother from Agate Village, Orre, needed some assistance as she was getting older. No one in Emma's immediate family were able to travel to Orre to help the ailing elder (due to "indescribable" incidents) so Emma, being young, vibrant, and ready to tackle the world set out on her own at fifteen to help her grandmother. However, news about the Orre Region didn't reach Hoenn until it was too late. As soon as Emma reached the region all connections and ties with Hoenn were soon cut-off. It was then Emma realized that she wasn't able to return home. She learned of the new abilities humans were gaining and, to Emma, it was completely foreign. Hardly making it safely to Agate Village, Emma was greeted with friendly faces all around. However, worry set-in quickly when Emma reached her grandmother's home within the trees. It wasn't soon before Emma was informed of Cipher and the terror that was unfolding in the Orre Region. The information and news shocked the young fifteen-year-old and she was unsure of herself.

For an entire year Emma witnessed the struggles of everyone in her village and for an entire year she had seen more bloodshed than any sixteen-year-old should be exposed to. Since moving to Orre to help her grandmother, there had been no connections to any of the other regions. In fact, Orre officials made sure the news wouldn't reach out to anyone else (to keep a war from ensuing). That same year Emma was able to pick up two new, and final, additions to her party from a neighbor who helped take care of Emma's ailing grandmother. They were a Shiny Zorua and Espurr. Quite foreign to Emma but, happily, she agreed to take care of them. Everyone in Agate Village, who knew her, trusted Emma with many tasks. She was the poster child for keeping everyone happy and content - she was a ray of light. However, this ray of light was soon-to-be extinguished. It was a brisk autumn day and Emma was asked by a fellow neighbor, the same one who presented her with baby Pokemon, to fetch a few items outside of Agate's boundaries. Hidden in a small, yet lush area, were a field of berries that seemed to flourish. She was instructed to pick up some berries and Emma did as she was told. However, when she returned something seemed off and she was right. Many people were rushing to and fro panicking like Torchics with their heads chopped off. Confused yet alert she rushed to her grandmother who seemed to be doing worse. Her grandmother explained that a phenomenon known as a "Cluster" was occurring - the same one that happened three years prior in Pyrite Town.

That same evening, as the Cluster faded, Emma's grandmother faded away. Emma was told, by officials of the Organization, that her grandmother and many other elderly couldn't handle the extremities the Cluster put on their genetic makeup. They deemed it appropriate that she wasn't going to make it much longer even if the Cluster didn't occur. Confused, pained, and hurt Emma couldn't take the news and something that night went off in Emma's mind. The small house she lived in with her grandmother began to shake furiously and the floorboards began to creak and crumble. The Organization was clearly intrigued by her innate powers - however, Emma didn't want any of that. Before she was probed and questioned by the Organization, Emma freaked out and escaped Agate Village. Since the Cluster in Agate, Emma has found a temporary shelter in and out of Phenac City and Pyrite Town.

Pokemon:

Flash the male Jolteon with Volt Absorb. Flash is all about being there for Emma in her time of need. He's been with her through thick and thin and could never imagine leaving her side. He's always out of his pokeball ready to pounce on anyone who gets near his trainer.

Siren the female Milotic with Cute Charm. Siren tends to portray her beauty whenever she can. Whenever anyone of the opposite gender touches her or lays eyes on her beauty they tend to fall in-love with Siren - thus, her name - always beckoning those to do her bidding.

Odyssey the male Skarmory with Sturdy. Odyssey is a quiet yet formidable ally of Emma's. His always watchful eyes gaze down upon his trainer. Taking on the "guardian angel" role, he never has Emma out of his sights and tends to follow her from the skies.

Lilith the female Banette with Cursed Body. Lilith is Emma's sneaky little deceiver. When Emma needs to track someone or needs to find an escape route she sends in her Banette - or - if she's being pursued by a person of powers she uses Lilith's ability, Cursed Body, to disable their abilities shortly (if touched) for a quicker getaway.

Shadow the male Shiny Zorua with Illusion. Shadow is the brother to Emma's Espurr, Mercy. His shiny disposition makes him eye-candy for thieves everywhere. Emma usually keeps him hidden in a pokeball when she's in a major town or city. Other than that, she keeps him out of his ball most times since he can simply hide his shimmer from plain view for an amount of time.

Mercy the female Espurr with Infiltrator. Mercy is the sister to Emma's Shiny Zorua, Shadow. Mercy is a quiet kitten who tends to find herself in heaps of trouble. She loves to wander off on her own and that usually results in trouble not only for herself, but ultimately for Emma too. If Mercy isn't under the watch of Emma's older Pokemon, or herself, then she's usually kept in her pokeball.

Powers:
Striker - 3
Emma is able to pass on her Striker ability through two different scenarios. One involves touch by skin-contact through her lips, hands, and fingers while the other method is through a combination of her Striker and Breaker abilities. Through skin-contact, Emma's touch can bring anyone down to their knees. Her skin emits a form of toxin that can seep into her foe. Unseeable by the human-eye, it goes without notice for a brief while. As the toxins make their way into her foe's bloodstream it becomes evident that the toxins are attaching themselves to muscles. As the toxin spreads it begins to break down control of the nervous system and muscular components - enabling her opponents to lose control of themselves and leaving them in a state of paralysis that is completely incurable at that point.
-- When touched the foe feels a sting and only a soreness in the area of contact.
-- Depending on how much toxin has spread into the foe's body, it takes anywhere from being instant to a complete hour for the paralysis to kick in.
-- The paralysis is curable to some extent with the right amount of Pecha and Cheri berries - providing you find them before the paralysis kicks into full effect.
-- If the nervous system begins to shut down then hopes for a cure are doubtful.
-- The toxin cannot pass itself onto Poison-type Pokemon whatsoever.

Through the second method, Emma is able to use her Striker abilities to pass her toxins on through contact with the ground and area around her. Although this method is completely taxing it is also rare that she'd ever use it due to her unstable confidence and control with her powers. When her two powers combine into one, her Breaker ability can keep everyone in five feet of her grounded and paralyzed. The toxins from her skin mix with her abilities as a form of shockwave - literally. It isn't as harmful as direct contact (as this doesn't cause lifelong damage), however, it does cause instant paralysis for about twenty minutes (unless a mixture of Pecha and Cheri berries are used right away).

Shaker - 10
Emma's Shaker abilities are profound and very versatile. Her ability comes in three flavors, each with their own destructive manifestation and they are her abilities to: Cause tremors, chasms, and aftershocks; create golems; and to control the ground telekinetically.

Following suit with her emotions, when Emma is under distress or pain her ability to control her Shaker abilities are quite evident. Her most used out of her three forms is her ability to cause tremors and aftershocks. Playing with the stings of her emotions the ground beneath her begins to shake violently, crack, and cease to hold together. The plates beneath her feet begin to crumble like broken cookies and the ground begins to separate (sometimes even disperse the ground into small chasms). Her range of destruction is varied by her episodes and emotional state-of-mind. She can either cause a small shake in the ground to warn her enemies she isn't one to be messed with or lose control and decimate an entire village - possibly even a city. However, the latter two scenarios hardly ever occur and it's usually the former that presents itself more than anything. After she causes a tremor in the ground, or, an earthquake Emma's active Breaker abilities to create shockwaves kick in and they usually reverberate underneath her causing more destruction.
-- Able to create tremors that range from small shakes and cracks in the ground to decimation of an entire village or city. The former scenarios hardly ever evident.
-- Aftershocks usually occur when Emma is trying to escape from someone or something. She switches her Breaker ability to active to cause shockwaves beneath the ground.

With broken rubble, Emma is able to create golems to do her bidding. By using telekinesis to form the golem and using her passive Breaker ability to break physics she's able to give life to her once inanimate creature. Her golem will follow her like a Pokemon follows their trainer. However, unable to think for itself, when it's in danger it will continuously fight until it cannot move any longer (or until it's time evaporates). Being sired to Emma means it will give it's life no matter the cost and will protect Emma in any situation.
-- Able to create golems by using her telekinetic powers and passive Breaker ability.
-- Emma must be attached to her golem in some way for it to take life (such as putting something of her's on the golem or by touching it).
-- The golem will stay alive for as long as Emma is attached. However, if the golem strains itself too much strength and/or stamina-wise it will cease to live itself and fade away.
-- Emma is only able to create one golem and only up to 5' for now.
-- Her ability to create golems are actually unknown to Emma herself at the moment but are entirely possible if she realizes her innate power.

Telekinetically, Emma is able to control the earth as she pleases. Being advanced in the field of being a Shaker, ability-wise, she's able to use her mind and thoughts to move the ground, or anything created by the earth, at will. Although it's quite the taxing process Emma is able to use something as simple as rocks to do many tasks for her. These tasks include, but are not limited to: helping her get to a destination; hitting a target from a distance; and breaking into or out of an area. However, her limitations keep her from using this ability to it's fullest since she cannot bend nor shape metal (although she's working on it). She's only able to use boulders, rocks, pebbles, and anything made with stone.
-- Able to use any form of rock or stone to help with a variety of tasks (as listed above).
-- Unable to use anything shaped or made with metal. However, with time she may be able to in the future.
-- Able to use her telekinesis to form and give shape to her golems.

Breaker - 7
Emma's Breaker abilities manifest into both passive and active ways. Passively, her ability keeps her from receiving any harm from her own innate abilities and herself. Emma cannot do harm to herself whatsoever. Her body has developed a form of control and safety measure that will try to keep Emma alive at all costs. The passive ability, however, can wear away if a constant array of events occur that involve too much strength and stamina (such as being shot at with a machine gun - her body will produce barriers to keep her safe but will dwindle over time due to the repeated exertion that needs to happen to keep her safe).
-- Able to form and create barriers and shields when in distress. Unable to create barriers or shields for others.
-- Can barely levitate off the ground. Only when falling from extreme heights.
-- Able to breathe underwater when in distress for a short amount of time.
-- Able to break physics in some ways such as giving life to an inanimate object for a brief period of time.

Actively, however, Emma is able to control gravity to some extent and is able to create shockwaves. Her powers are based solely on her emotions, like her Shaker ability, and are hard to get a grasp on when she needs it most. Most actively used when in her manic episodes, Emma is able to keep people grounded within twelve feet. Pressure grows on people around her and they fall into the ground, unable to move. While using this ability though, Emma is left completely defenseless barrier-wise due to her Breaker ability switching from passive to active.
-- Able to keep pressure on her opponents - unabling movement.
-- When mixed with her Striker ability she can cause paralysis for a short period of time.
-- When angered or upset she can cause accidental shockwaves that can push her opponents back or deeper into the ground.
-- When mixed with her Shaker ability she can cause aftershocks.

Other: Emma's abilities come from her extreme emotions. She's technically unable to use the brute force of her powers unless she hits her manic episodes (in which case, it is completely possible for her to trigger enough emotions to cause the higher end of her powers). Currently, Emma is able to control her Striker abilities to their fullest extent, very low-end Shaker abilities, and hardly any Breaker abilities. That doesn't mean she can't control them while in her episodes, however.
