I'm getting a more rounded idea of this OC as I go. Trying to put together a name now and I kinda think Newton Dumas rolls off the tongue and hits those Ghost type themes I wanted.
>Newton = Newt = Eye of New = Witchcraft = Occult
>Dumas = Doom / Dumas = Author of the Count of Monte Cristo = Revenge
They're a bit more subtle than normal Gym Leader names like Norman the Normal specialist or Brock the Rock specialist, but I think the ideas are visible. It also sounds nice when said all at once. It's not a rhyme but I don't remember the term for what it is.
As I'm thinking on the character I like the idea of him being excessively chill. He'd wander and end up staying in different locations for a while with his team while strategizing over how to beat the local Gym Leader. He'd work odd jobs for a bit of extra spending money; I say extra because it feels like trainers are always able to get by without any apparent attempts to earn money in the first place, but I feel like money would help out here and there anyways. I digress though. I think Newton would be friendly enough with the locals for helping out around town or the city though not overly social. This feels like a good contrast to feelings of frustration those he eventually beats might feel because he likes to rely on bullshit to get over hurdles. Frosslass with Destiny Bond, Sableye with Foul Play, Scolipede with the Toxic Spikes and poison in general, and stuff like that. His battle style is figuring out how to not let you have your way and winning before you get your momentum back.
