lunchleaderBackground
Right was born and raised in Union as the oldest of three kids in a working-middle-class family. His father worked as an employee of Happy-Me Pharmacy, while his mother stayed home to raise him and his brother and sister. His grandfather, Tsuyoshi Suzuki, was a retired Trainer who taught Right and his siblings the basics of survival, in case they ever had to travel outside the city walls for any reason. Right took great interest in the aspects related to food, due to his nigh-endless appetite. So great was his appetite at times growing up that he'd been known to eat Poffins and other Pokemon treats, which has led some kids into calling him a Snorlax Shifter.
Right had always been able to understand Pokemon since he was little. Because of this, he grew up believing that "people" include both humans and Pokemon, and it is "people" that he wants to help out, as his family and elders have always taught him to do. Unfortunately, this meant that he would get into occasional scuffles with bullies. Sometimes, these scuffles happen out in public, which in turn got him into trouble a few times with either a member of the Guard or one of the Swords of the Savior, depending upon who came across him during such times. Most of the scuffles were caused by two things: either someone was being mean to a friend of his, or they were messing with someone's food.
He also always had an overactive imagination as well. Even into his adolescence years, he still did childish things such as "play-pretend" and "dress-up", his playful antics leaning towards the dramatic side. The elders had tried to channel such antics into a more productive role in society, such as clothing design. However, Right chose instead to go into theater, figuring that if he can make hard-working people enjoy the arts with a smile, then he's definitely helping them make their day better. He also felt that, since times were relatively peaceful, he could do so while entrusting the general safety of Union to the combined efforts of the Rangers, the Guard, and the Swords.
That way of thinking has changed in the previous year, though. Right was given a huge slap of reality during the Great Quake last year, when he saw just how many Pokemon in the Residential District alone were greatly hurt, both by falling debris and by the rampaging hordes of wild Pokemon. But his hope didn't diminish very much, if at all, and he tried to help as much as he could by at least talking some injured Pokemon into going to the Medical Center. It was during that crisis that he came across a tiny, wounded Lillipup that was abandoned in some overturned wagon. He took it in and nursed it back to health. In return, the Lillipup bonded with him and has been his constant companion ever since.. He named her Wagon and spoiled her sweet, dressing her up in pretty clothes and getting her as many Poffins as he could afford.
When Union had to take in many Caldera refugees later that summer, Right did the best he could to help in small ways. Usually, he ended up helping by passing around food and water among the refugees, or playing with little Calderan kids and help make them feel happy and safe in Union. It was with such contact that he learned of how terrible war was: kids who lost their parents in battle, humans and Pokemon who lost their partners, and the very idea that Gigas would go so far as to starve people in order to make them surrender... While Right's passion for justice had only simmered in the face of bullies, it fanned out into white-hot flames upon hearing all the horrible things Gigas has done. He truly wanted to go out there and fight the Gigas soldiers - not only for their war crimes, but also for the whole using Pokeballs thing. His parents managed to talk him out of getting involved on the war front itself, but he still had that itch to go out there and beat up on Gigas.
It was his grandfather who eventually offered a compromise - mainly to help calm the boy down. Since Right was already part of a lesser-known theater group as of March of that year, Grandfather offered to teach Right and his Pokemon the basics of fighting after he completes his one-year contract with that group. Because Grandfather was a retired Trainer himself, Right accepted that offer.
With the Caldera war now over for several months now, and his contract just being completed, Right's starting to train with his grandpa while looking for a new theater group to switch to. He's not quite as gun-ho about heading outside of Union as he was in the previous summer, and his inner sense of Justice has quieted down...but the wanderlust and those senses are still there in the back of his mind, ready to flare back up under the right situation.
Personality
Things that have not changed
---Has a huge Imagination that he uses to help work out stuff
---Has a huge appetite, and will sometimes let his stomach do the thinking for him.
---Sees friends as Very Important People and will support them so long as they're not being evil or too creepy.
---Acts rather childish at times, though only to a somewhat smaller degree.
---Will beat up anyone that steals food from someone else, or is a true monster, or is otherwise just a bully.
---Has four best friends from childhood (who can be apped into the game!): Mio Natsume; Haru Tokashiki, aka "Tokacchi"; Hikari Nonomura; and Kagura Izumi.
---Has a Grandpa, Mom, Dad, and two younger siblings.
---Learned the basics of self-defense from his grandpa, though not Karate in this AU.
---Is a ditz who doesn't always realize that his actions or words can upset people or hurt their feelings.
---Is very energetic and wants to do anything and everything fun and exciting!
---Doesn't like being stuck in cramped places or doing anything he sees as boring, like house chores.
---Likes kids and enjoys hanging out with them, as well as helping them when needed.
---Has his Secret Base Pass, but it won't be converted into a Rainbow Pass in this AU.
---Shares the Secret Base with his four best friends.
---Has some inner Darkness that will be brought to the fore-front on a later date.
Things that have changed
---Setting is not Earth, but instead the Pokemon world set over 500 years in the future. The Great Cataclysm was caused when the Gods (Legendary Pokemon) had enough of Humanity using them and their Pokemon as tools and weapons. Union's foundation story involves the Savior, a person who pleaded with the Gods at the end of the war to spare her people in exchange for her own life. The Gods agreed, and even blessed the Savior with the gift of understanding Poke-Speech. However, the Gods warned that if humanity didn't learn their lessons from that great war, the entire human race will be wiped out.
---Hometown is Union, which sits upon the ruins of the Old City. Union itself is nestled within the great Verdant Forest, and it was only just a year prior that the people there realized that they weren't the last remnants of humanity that they thought they were for the past 500 years. It has never been conquered by Darkness. Society there is similar to early 20th century Western culture, except there's black-n-white television that's been recently re-discovered.
---Many people are gifted with types and abilities akin to those of Pokemon. Union natives with such gifts are called Enlightened, while other areas have similar names (Earthkin, Windblessed, etc.), but one thing is universal - nearly every Enlightened has the ability to evolve into more powerful forms, much like most Pokemon do.
---Because there's no Shadow or Rainbow Lines in this AU, Right and his friends grew up normally within Union. His grandpa's a retired Trainer, his dad works at the Happy-Me Pharmacy, the main city pharmacy, and his mom is a stay-at-home mom.
---Right himself is an Enlightened! As a Kindred Soul, he's perceived by most Pokemon being more like them than as a human. Plus, he gets to understand what they're saying, but not what they're feeling or thinking if such things are not vocalized. His typing's Normal/Fairy - Fairy due to the Imagination thing, but Normal to reflect the whole Imagination vs. Reality thing. The typing will change upon his final evolution to Fairy/Dark, and he'll end up looking pretty close to a human-sized dark fairy, wings and all.
---He's actually not afraid of the Gods themselves, unlike many other people. He thinks the Gods are amazing, and that he would actually like to be friends with one someday! Just...not when they're being angry and burning the countryside and all that stuff. (This also means that his self-preservation instincts go haywire about divinity. Send help.)
---He's also building up quite a small army of Pokemon friends - nearly two dozen already!
---In early March, Right got hired as the newest member of Union's Divine Theater, an acting troop currently being led by Tenoh Haruka (AU version of Sailor Uranus). As of end of April, he has yet to realize that the theater is just a front for the Divine Defense Force, a secret organization of good guys protecting humanity in case the Gods come back...which they are, sort of.
