Character: May Age: 15 OC Type: Blank Protagonist (Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire) Point Taken: After becoming Champion and receiving the Eon Flute.
Backstory: Born in Johto, May's family was uprooted and moved to Hoenn when her father, Norman, became the Gym Leader in the region's Petalburg City. May was fourteen when the move happened, and it shook her already-rocky relationship with her father. Norman was often more focused on training his Pokemon than on his family, and now he was taking May away from her childhood friends and home. But of course, the teen had no choice but to start a new life in Littleroot Town, and there, her adventure began.
May had just arrived in Littleroot when she met the Birch family. Notably, she met the family's patriarch, Professor Birch... By saving him from a wild Pokemon that was chasing him. This required battling the wild Pokemon, and so May had to act as a Pokemon trainer for the first time. She picked a Pokeball at random, and inside was the grass-type Treecko. May managed to fight the other Pokemon off with her "temporary" Pokemon partner. She wasn't happy when Professor Birch praised her skill as a potential trainer, but the man ran with this, insisting on giving the Pokemon to May and urging her to learn more about being a trainer from his son, Brendan. This trend continued, with May finding herself in the role of a real Pokemon trainer. She was far from thrilled, and often acted unenthusiastic or even bitter early in her journey. What kept her from just quitting was the undeniable fondness she had for her new pal, Treecko, who sported a cool and detached attitude.
Two strange things happened as May began to travel the Hoenn region doing tasks for others and challenging gyms. For one, she began encountering the nefarious Team Aqua, whose leader, Archie, boasted big plans to improve the world for Pokemon. He intended to do this by using the legendary Kyogre to raise the seas. May never quite saw how that logic added up, but got increasingly tangled in their plot. Despite May – and Team Aqua’s rival, Team Magma – trying to stop them, the group eventually managed to awaken Kyogre. A horrible storm threatened to end the Hoenn region and beyond, and Archie and his team realized the flaws of their plan. Still, it somehow ended up that May was the one who had to calm the legendary beast by defeating it in battle.
That was okay, though, because the other strange thing that happened as May journeyed through Hoenn was that she became happier in her new home – and her new role. She came to love her Pokemon team, and all Pokemon, and to respect her fellow trainers. In fact, shortly after May saved the world from Kyogre, she took on Hoenn’s Pokemon League and became the Hoenn Champion. Other notable events along the way included May getting involved in Pokemon Contests and learning to use Mega Evolution, as well as having her fifteenth birthday while on the road.
Personality: A trainer who started her journey with a grudge against Pokemon isn’t exactly common, or something that tends to end well. Yet, for May, it worked out – because as she traveled, her Pokemon weren’t the only ones evolving. May has grown a lot over her time in Hoenn, although she hasn’t changed entirely by any means.
May is a bold and spirited teen; fiercely independent and reluctant to accept help from others – though she’s always willing to offer her own services as help. She speaks up for what she believes is important, and in this behavior is often impudent. May also has a strong temper and is rash when that temper is provoked. She’s pretty stubborn, though her mind has grown more open as she’s traveled. But what are May’s beliefs? What is she stubborn about? Well, for the most part, it all links back to her being so independent. She believes that relying on others is setting herself up to be let down, and so she’s stubborn when it comes to admitting she needs help. She’s also stubborn in the fact that she won’t back down from a challenge or task. May is a determined individual.
As Hoenn’s fifteen-year-old Champion, she’s much happier than she was when she first moved to Johto. She's more carefree, and even bubbly - not bitter like she once was, and she’s less rude and somewhat less likely to start an argument or fight than she used to be. She's always had a sense of humor, and isn’t a very serious sort of person. In fact, she comes across as easygoing until her stubborn streak or her temper show. She's a kindhearted girl despite her rashness, and she's compassionate and caring towards others.
May is protective of both her Pokemon and her human loved ones; she would do anything for them. She is a friendly person, despite her social shortcomings. May's typical idea of fun is training and battling with her Pokemon, which means she struggles to connect to people who aren’t Pokemon trainers. However, this is something she’s working on improving, thanks especially to the contest idol Lisia who she befriended on her journey.
May is as brave and adventurous a youth as one will ever find. While some of that can be chalked up to impulsive behavior and her stubbornness, there's also just raw courage and a need to travel and discover new things. She's curious about the world around her, and never wants to stop being surprised by life.
May’s relationship with her father is complicated, even now that she’s come to understand the many joys and the appeal of being a trainer. She still resents how much time he spends away from home. It leaves her torn, as she’s no longer as comfortable with these feelings of resentment as she once was. She wants to get along with Norman, but it’s still difficult for her.
Despite her success as a trainer, May has remained (mostly) humble. Braggarts and those with big egos have always rubbed her the wrong way - she only is like this herself in a joking manner. She also, in a hypocritical manner, doesn’t like dealing with impulsive people. Yes, May is definitely impulsive. She doesn’t think of potential danger when heading into a situation; she just keeps her eyes on the prize.
Abilities: May’s connection to her Pokemon, specifically her Sceptile, allows her to cause him to Mega Evolve when she is in possession of her keystone and Sceptile is in possession of Sceptilite.
Sceptile (level 62) holds Sceptilite and knows the moves Leaf Blade, Dual Chop, Quick Attack, and Agility. His ability, Overgrow, powers up Grass-Type moves when he is at low health. Sableye (level 60) holds a Muscle Band and knows the moves Shadow Sneak, Confuse Ray, Zen Headbutt, and Foul Play. His ability, Keen Eye, keeps his accuracy from being lowered. Cosplay Pikachu (Libre) (level 60) holds a Yellow Scarf and knows the moves Quick Attack, Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, and Flying Press. Her ability, Lightning Rod, draws most Electric-Type moves to Pikachu, who will not be damaged by the move and who will have her special attack stat boosted one stage. Camerupt (level 61) holds Charcoal and knows the moves Lava Plume, Flash Cannon, Rock Slide, and Earthquake. Her ability, Magma Armor, prevents her from being frozen. Milotic (level 59) holds Leftovers and knows the moves Surf, Toxic, Ice Beam, and Recover. His ability, Marvel Scale, increases his defense by 50% when he has a status condition.
Alignment: Aiada. It's a great fit for May, as her journey took her from envying Pokemon to deeply appreciating them.
Other: May will be accompanied by Sceptile, Sableye, Cosplay Pikachu (Libre), Camerupt, and Milotic. May herself will have her Mega Bracelet with the keystone embedded in it.
