This is Kaneda, my PTTU character. our game loosely draws from some of the continuity of the comics. I think our GM is using Pokemon Adventures.
he's originally from Lavender Town, and started off as a n'er-do-well pretty early. he specializes in poison types, but also has some dark and ghost types on his team.
he once trained under Koga, and developed an obsessive crush on his daughter Anzu/Janine, before Koga was implicated with team rocket and disappeared. he's been travelling the world in search of him, hoping that being the man who brought her father back would make Anzu notice him.
after exhausting every place he could think to look in civilized lands, he started to think that Koga was no longer -in- "civilized lands," so when he heard of a research project headed up by several prestigious universities investigating a newly discovered island continent, he bet his bottom dollar, both figuratively and literally, that Koga was there, and signed up with the project as a "type specialist consultant" and was loaded onto a ship.
personality-wise, Kaneda has a lot going on. he holds some of the traditional reverence of pokemon and respect for the dead that suffuses Lavender Town, but is wholly irreverent and crass on most other subjects. he is kind of a shady, sneaky douchebag too, because pickpocketing and breaking & entering were his bread and butter for some years. he firmly believes only fools fight fair, and specializes in dropping a plethora of status effects on his opponents all at once and following with brutal attacks. he's a big fan of punk rock, especially Roxie and the Toxics, having gone to see (or sneaked in to see) several of their concerts. he also worships media idols like Pokestar Studios actress Sabrina, Arcade Star Dahlia, and the pojemon coordinator idol Lisia.
