Team Punipawa

(pronounced 'puny power')

Beda, Teddiursa (F), Timid/Naive/Modest/Bashful
Ability: Quick Feet (+tiny bit of Pickup)
Age: Just-under-mid-twenties, "Young adult"

  • Quiet kind of person. She may be asked to need to speak up. She tends to mimic the actions of those she's familiar with.
  • If anxious, she prefers to think out solutions to the issue rationally and with logic and reason. This may, however not come across that way to an outsider, as she will simply freeze like a deer in headlights. Many may mistake her neutral face for thinking she's either sad or deep in thought when she may in fact not be all that bothered in actuality.
  • Lurked 4chan before becoming a Pokemon and so is aware of the memes but is otherwise too 'normie' to engage in them at first.
  • Prefers acting polite and courteous around those she doesn't know, but as she grows familiar with people, a more rambunctious, giggly, somewhat sassy side comes out. This comes with a comfort to swearing as well; she will not swear around someone she's unfamiliar with. Doing so will cause her to become extremely embarrassed and self-conscious.
  • Has no memory of her name or details on members of her family, but retains certain memories, such as the fact her original name begins with a B, general motor control and knowledge, alongside Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, as well as the logistics of such. Once her memory is jogged, super-effective moves on types and how items work come out in spades.
  • She has a quirk where if she is in a dungeon, her front paws will gain a reddened hue at their tips and will start producing Vegemite. The smell can deter those unfamiliar with it, so dungeon ferals show up less if they are unused to its scent. Doing so is not painful to her, but it does make her somewhat embarrassed about it at first if one isn't aware of either the phenomenon or the substance itself. This is partly because she consumed a lot of it as a human.
  • She does not like and will freeze up if she is alone in a dangerous situation. Leave her by herself in a dungeon and she is quick to berate herself and assume it's her fault that everyone isn't around. If she is alone however in a relatively safe environment (like the guild), she is at ease.
  • Moves: Scratch/Fury Swipes (depending on how aggravated she is), Baby-Doll Eyes, """Sweet""" Scent (Vegemite is not a sweet scent, it's more salty and meaty than outright sweet) and Fake Tears.
  • Has the mentality to want to improve herself, but at a glacial pace.
  • Has a sweet tooth, but is extremely picky. Does not like honey by itself as it is too sweet for even her sweet tooth.

Parora, Seel (F), Jolly/Naive/Brave/Quirky
Ability: Hydration
Age: Just-under-mid-twenties, "Young adult"

  • Her fur colour is mostly-white, but it's properly slightly tinted light powder blue akin to what some of its Pokedex entries say.
  • She likes talking to herself when she's alone. Makes whole games out of the act, preferring to be optimistic about her circumstances.
  • She is quite contrary to what one would expect of a Seel. She prefers summer temperatures rather than winter ones, and is faster on land than in water.
  • She was born with a physical defect in her tail that is not visible, and therefore isn't assumed to be disabled at a glance, but is. She cannot swim for very long due to the muscles in her tail having not formed correctly when she was in her egg. This therefore means she is also incapable of learning Aqua Tail, and by extension, Surf (at least the act of carrying someone on top of her while swimming part). She can still feel her tail, but she prefers to bounce around on land instead.
  • She doesn't let herself get down about it. She can still swim for minor inconveniences, such as if a precious item were to get thrown in a puddle she could retrieve it. But she has a weight limit. Treasure chests from the games would probably be close to that limit.
  • To make up for this, her physical capabilities on land outweigh those of a normal Seel's. Her Headbutt is immensely powerful, and she has spent time honing the moves she has learned to make up for her swimming capabilities to the point that type disadvantage is something she somewhat scoffs at to a marginal degree.
  • Her parents are very overprotective of her due to her faults, even to the point that despite having only recently moved in to Capim Town, they don't like her leaving their sight for more than a day. This is also despite the fact she's a grown adult.
  • She is very trusting and heard lots of explorer stories when she was a child from her explorer parents on humans and idolises them to a small extent. At the same time, however, if she detects mistrust, she will not hesitate to jump into the fray to defend her friends. She has a small problem with the idea that she must do everything by herself.
  • Doesn't outright say anything about it, but has a need to prove that she's independent enough to do things on her own.
  • Moves: Headbutt, Aurora Beam, Signal Beam (from mother, egg move)
