Name: Captain Noah "Neo" Ashfield
Gender: Male
Age: 32

Description: Standing 6'2" and weighing 200 pounds, Ashfield has a fair skin tone and a strong, muscular frame. Meanwhile, he has dark brown eyes and long, wild black hair with crimson highlights. He doesn't have too many scars either, but in general, he has a very wild, casual, and renegade like appearance.

For clothing, Ashfield typically wears the Team Aqua uniform, but when he wants to blend in with the rest of the crowd, he wears a white graphic t-shirt, a black leather jacket, a black cadet cap, and black denim jeans with black sneakers. Because of his tendency to fight rough and get into frantic battles, his clothing often is frayed and torn in places.

While Ashfield may not be the most brawniest member of Team Aqua, he can still pack a solid punch and still has the dexterity without being a slow lug of a soldier. Very often he can be seen carrying explosive weapons and light machine guns like an M60 or MG4.

Personality: Ashfield is a thrill-seeker who loves explosives, action, and destruction. He also doesn't mind dirty places, pollution, and filthy environments. Terrible smells don't get to him either. In addition, subtlety, stealth, and secrecy are definitely not in Ashfield's vocabulary. He likes the biggest, most explosive weapons, machines, and vehicles, and likes nothing more than a whole lot of overkill. To him, the comedic value is priceless, and watching his enemies panic at the sheer size of his equipment is all he needs for a good laugh.

To Ashfield's enemies, he's extremely irritating with his sarcastic politeness, foul manners, and the way he treats every enemy like a disobedient child. He also taunts, makes crude jokes, and mocks his enemies even right in the heat of combat. In addition to enjoying a gross and immature sense of humor, he's also very much an egotist. In the face of danger and against his worst enemies, Ashfield knows there's no better way to defeat them than with humiliating, crushing defeat and with a lot of taunting. He often deploys a sense of dark humor when facing his enemies, giving his forces and superweapons capricious and humorous names, very akin to Team Aqua's air force, the All Clown Squadron of Fun. He feels the air force aren't the only ones that can employ a play on names and make the enemy forces feel pathetic and downright embarrassed to painfully lose against such whimsical but powerful and punishing weaponry and forces.

Ashfield is also easily bored and impatient. He loves nothing more than an all-out explosive battle fiesta with lots of collateral damage. He's looking forward to helping Team Aqua dominate the world in a way they would never suspect. To him, if the world is going to end, it's certainly going to go out with a lot of bangs, booms, and explosions and certainly not with a whimper.

When not on foot as infantry, Ashfield likes to drive heavy tanks, machines, and weaponry.

Background: Ashfield was born into a military family in Slateport City, Hoenn. His mother, Nancy, was a Navy technician while his father, Trevor, was a Major within the Hoenn Navy. As a result, Ashfield was often neglected as a child and did some mischief as a kid, especially with firecrackers and fireworks. By the age of six, he was already cranking out perfect molotov cocktails. He blew up the barbecue propane tank, the water heater, and lastly, the family SUV.

His parents figured a Pokémon journey might be right for him, so he started with a Stunky given to him by his dad (was going for a cheap price) and traveled throughout Hoenn, capturing, trading, and obtaining Pokémon for roughly around three years before he collected all eight badges and moved onto the League. He made it to the semifinals, but was disqualified when his Dragonite continued to attack an Ampharos that the referee had already declared to be unable to battle. The opposing trainer had taunted Ashfield for hours before the match that his Ampharos would wipe the floor with his team, and Ashfield couldn't resist proving him wrong to the extreme. Even after being disqualified, he laughed about it as the Ampharos was a broken, beaten mess that spent two months in a Pokémon Center undergoing intense physical therapy.

After being disqualified, Ashfield headed back to return to the Navy, just about the only place where he could blow up stuff and not be punished for it. In fact, the Navy soon realized his abilities in bomb making and chemistry and decided to have him mentored so such skills and ambition could be put to better use against Hoenn's enemies. As a result, Ashfield quickly became a demolitions expert, skilled with explosive charges and explosive weaponry. He was trained to identify weak-points in structural integrity, use target leading, and master bomb-crafting.

Ashfield had become very talented at his role and was expected to mentor others, only he didn't take it seriously, got reckless with some of his experiments, and eventually ended up causing an unintentional fire back at base, which resulted in a dishonorable discharge. He was sentenced to a prison term of thirty years, and the last thing Ashfield wanted was to become a ugly old man on his day of release.

Ashfield escaped from prison and fell under the scrutiny of Norton Whitehall, who had already gathered a team of other Hoenn soldiers that had been dishonorably discharged for war crimes. Ashfield pledged his loyalty to Team Aqua, enjoying the aspect of being able to use his skills without the rules or red tape.

Since then, he's been made the Captain of Special Weapons. It's good news for Team Aqua, bad news for everyone else and their material assets.

Pokémon: Skuntank (M), Dragonite (M), Emolga (M), Floatzel (M), Wailord (M), Dewgong (M)
Other: Ashfield typically uses light machine guns against infantry and rocket launchers as anti-tank ordinance. He's also gotten talented at hitting helicopters with rocket launchers, which is not an easy task.
