Description

November 2013 - January 2014

Ink pens, + Copic Markers + Photoshop CS5

Character has been updated since Round 2. The original application can be found here: sta.sh/0y3b1u2nutw

Apologies for the rushed changes. I'm currently in assessment period this week and a bit of next week so I've had to limit my time on this D: Anyway main changes:
 - she now takes off her jacket! Only because Waddles left bite marks on it though. Do note she doesn't have any problems with the cold weather, her outfit is like... everything proof. Except Waddles-proof.
 - Waddles evolved into a Swadloon since the last battle and moveset has been tweaked. I've yet to upload the comic D: sorry!

Original Name: PYA1707
Given Name: Piyah ("pie-yah") *nickname given by roommate that she's grown fond of
Age: 72 (relative age to present day would be late 20s)
Gender: Female
Height: 6'4" (~195cm) *her heels give her the extra 10-15cm
Timezone: 3891
Location: Hoenn area
Personality: Often quiet and keeping to herself, she usually isn't sure what to talk about unless you actually ask her a question. With her stiff posture and cold look, a lot of people see her as some kind of unfeeling robot, but in reality she simply doesn't know any better and has troubles expressing herself. Although she couldn't hold a conversation to save her life, she enjoys the company of others and having people talk to her (at her?). She values efficiency and organisation, and gets stressed when things fall apart and in intense situations.


Brief History:

PYA1707 is just the average joe, working an office job that deals with manufacturing technologic outfits. As
far as her life goes, she just bought herself a Milotic - the biggest trend to hit Hoenn - and was dealing
with a problematic Sewaddle (one of the types of Pokemon that her company has bred to produce sturdy synthetic
fibre to make futurstic clothing).

World:

PYA1707 comes from a utopian future where there is no war, no hunger, no saddness, and everyone was young.
Life is just an endless stream of productivity and consumerism. You simply do what you're assigned to do and
nothing else happens outside of that.

PYA1707 doesn't even know much about her own world. All she knows is that sky is paved with structures, food
is delivered as tablets, nature was never out in the open and she deals with the logistics of her company.
Communication to others is done through telecommunication antennae, no one speaks but everyone is still
participating the the "chat room".

Elgyem and other telepathic Pokemon act as "living personal organisers" so everyone is assigned one, PYA1707is
no different and doesn't treat her Elgyem as anything more than that.


Life in Distortion:

PYA1707 doesn't make much of an effort to interact with other trainers in the tournament (she does have a creepy habit of watching random people from afar though). She lives in a house with Nana ( fav.me/d6zyerj ) who gave her the nickname "Piyah" (at first she was indifferent but now she takes pride in having a "proper" name) along with helping with the nicknaming of Piyah's Pokemon. The two get along very well with complimenting personalities (Nana's talkative and overly-friendly nature coupled with Piyah's very quiet and curious nature). 

At first Piyah found Pokemon battling to be stressful and her Pokemon a pain to deal with, but after giving it a go and gaining bonds between her and her Pokemon she has grown more confident and is finding it enjoyable. She has also grown fond of meeting new people and learning their culture and stories, to the point where she secretly doesn't want to go back to her timeline.

POKEMON

Name: Waddles
Gender: Male
Species: Swadloon
Moveset: Agility, Electroweb, Protect, Nature Power
Ability: Chlorophyll
Size: 1'08" (~50cm)
Personality: Hyperactive, fun-loving, curious, expressive.
Brief History: One of the many silk producing Pokemon that were bred to make synthetic materials,
Waddles disliked the boring life routine and preferred to play around and make trouble. This led him to being
labelled  faulty and brought to PYA1707 to deal with. He's young and for quite a while he's been treated as a
trouble maker, but really he just wants to be loved.
UPDATE: Since evolution Waddles has grown very attached to Piyah and has started acting a bit more reserved, which could be because he's at his pupal evolutionary stage.

Name: Elegy
Gender: Female
Species: Elgyem
Moveset: Psychic, Charge Beam, Gravity, Shadow Ball
Ability: Telepathy
Size: 1'10" (~55cm) *larger than average (also has a paler colour)
Personality: Acts very much like her trainer, stiff and to the point, but more focused on tasks and
friendlier. Wishes her trainer to feel more emotions.
Brief History: Ever since PYA1707 entered the workforce, Elegy was assigned to her and has been by her
side since. For a quiet Pokemon, she makes a lot of noises. Although she has telepathy, she has the habit of
using her finger lights to communicate as well which makes beep noises, she also tends to give off a ringing
sound when using her psychic powers too much, which Piyah complains about. Elegy keeps PYA1707's daily life
organised and their relationship has always been professional. Regardless, Elegy sees PYA1707 as her closest
friend and cares for her deeply.

Name: Milo
Gender: Male
Species: Milotic
Moveset: Dragon Pulse, Surf, Ice Beam, Iron Tail
Ability: Marvel Scale
Size: 16'05" (~6.2m) *smaller than average
Personality: To others, Milo is kind and caring, with an edge of sassiness. He enjoys interacting with
others and playing with other Pokemon. However, he's very rebellious to PYA1707 and hates her for treating him
like an object.
Brief History: Milo was one of many Milotics bred to be part of the latest fashion trend sweeping the
continent. Although he grew up on a Milotic farm, he enjoyed the contact her had with other Pokemon and misses
that interaction. He was bought by Piyah and delivered. Although he was trained to be subservient decoration,
he cannot stand the type of attention his trainer gives him and will rather go off and do his own thing until
he's respected like another being.

UPDATE: Since the last battle, Milo has been feeling a lot more liberated, though he still acts very mischievously.

Wow, this is a realy nice character, and I love the way she can throw out her pokemon out of her arm instead of carying pokeballs. Much more practical, hehe.

Cheers! I couldn't decide a particular hairstyle and thought maybe her hair could be the changing factor seeing as her silhouette is pretty defined.
