So, at this point I'm writing two characters before reading past the first chapter. Figured that I'd save that for later since it's pretty late.
So, what's your opinion on the topic of dark humor?
Name: Kazakazukazakazakakakazakuzaku Kaahn (Call her Kaz for tactical efficiency)
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Hair: Silver, cut to about her shoulders and tied back in a ponytail
Eyes: They're green, why do you ask?
Clothing: Kinda depends on the situation. She technically works for the ninja corps so she'll be wearing ninja garb when on missions, but if she doesn't want to be pointed out as a ninja (as most ninja do) she'd probably wear a red kimono, or beggar's outfit, or nun, or really whatever fits in best with the background. But for when times don't matter and she can just wear whatever the heck she wants, red kimono all the way
Weapon: Ninja tools
Side: Eh...kinda depends on her mood. Mostly good since she has a grudge against the bad guys, but she's definitely not a nice person
Special skills: Is very good at being a stealthy and deadly ninja; when she saw the dumbed down ninja training she promptly held the instructor's Pokemon over a pot of boiling soup until he agreed to be a better instructor. In addition to kick-a ninja training, she's very manipulative and able to get people to do what she wants them to, can hold her own in a witty banter contest, excellent investigative prowess, has the ability to kill someone that she likes without any hesitation or remorse afterwards..does that last one count as a skill?
Quirks: Is a bit of a sociopath. Also a compulsive liar
Personality: Kaz is typically very friendly, charming, cordial, and talks with a smile; even when she's insulting someone. Which she does, pretty often, but she does it in a friendly tone and talks so fast that most people don't realize it. She's also a complete backstabbing b**** that has no qualms with killing someone in a painful and brutal fashion even if she would have considered them a friend just a few seconds earlier. Still, she's on the good guys' team; why? Because her brother was kidnapped by the bad guys when they were like 4 and raised him like a son so he treats her as an enemy since she's part of the Ninja Corps. She begrudges them that. Her brother is pretty much her entire reason for carrying on; she's convinced that if she can destroy the bad guys and bring down everything they stand for, then her brother will have no where to run and will thus have to live with her in order to avoid all the enemies he's made over the years; afterwards, they'll buy a nice house in the countryside or just kill some old couple and take theirs. Then they'll farm some Pikachus, go on assassination missions together, play chess, maybe build up a criminal empire if they have the time, go hiking every weekend, and have lots of adorable children. At least that's the plan
Sample: "No offense, but you're probably the stupidest person I've ever met. We can still be friends, though! As long as you promise that if it comes down to me or my brother, you'll sacrifice yourself so that the two of us can live!" "Now, I try not to lie when I can help it *burst out laughing* I can't even say that with a straight face.." "This little Diglett went to the market *breaks guy's toe* This little Diglett stayed home *breaks another one* This little Diglett had roast beef...you know, as fun as this is, I'd much rather you just tell me where my brother has been hiding." "What's wrong with a little love between siblings?"
Pokemon partner: Haunter
Favorite food: Pikachu tail
Name: Benjen Kaahn (Codename: 700) (Other aliases include John John, Fredrick Barnabee, Forest Kaysen, Zachary Benny the 14th, Louis Kokanoka, Jameson James Esquire, and Sparky Sparky Boom Man)
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Hair: Black
Eyes: Green. Seriously, why is this an important detail?
Clothing: Wear's an awesome looking brown long-coat
Weapon: Prefers to use throwing knives from a distance, or smokebombs to either stun an enemy so he can kill them or run away. But really, he'll use whatever is on hand if it comes down to it
Side: Bad
Special skills: Very versatile and adaptable to the situation, remains calm in most situations, may have started the 7th Pokemon War, can change identities at a moment's notice without much reason given to him complete with fake accent and everything, and doesn't question any orders given to him at all.
Quirks: He tried smiling once; the witness then proceeded to stab their own eyes out with a pen. He doesn't smile anymore. And I suppose he's kind of shy.
Personality: 700 prefers talking his way out of most situations whenever possible; not for any altruistic reasons, of course, it's just that killing people tends to bring some unwanted attention on himself. He's pretty shy and will hide from most big social gatherings. Also, you could say he has some...issues with emotion; you see, he once read the word "emotion" on the cover of a book that someone else was reading, and that's pretty much his entire experience with it. He tends to just not have those. He'll be polite and courteous to people but inside he's probably planned about 12 ways to kill them along with any escape routes. His hobbies include reading, cleaning his weapons, trying on new disguises, assassinating targets, and playing a game of chess with co-workers.
The one thing that he will legitimately emote on is his sister; mainly, the emotion of "annoyance" whenever he sees she's closing in on his location, and "scared beyond all belief" when she is in the same room because at that point his chest starts hurting and his eyes start excreting this odd clear fluid, both feelings that he has determined from experience are bad and wants to avoid.
Sample: "..." "Hello, I'm new to the area; could you please direct me to the nearest tavern?" "*emotionless stare*" "Yes sir."
Pokemon partner: Gastly. Most partners don't survive the missions he goes on so he never really gets time to level them up to more advanced forms.
Favorite food: Nutrition pills. Full of nutrition and without all those odd sensations that show up on his tongue whenever he eats other things like sweets and food.

You welcome! But… I was hoping to see Lapis :( oh well… Sapphire the tavern owner?! My oh my, not a very expected choice, making it that much more interesting! Ah, the joy of seeing vertically challenged characters get mad at people making fun of their height *cough* Edward Elric *cough* oh wow Adamant, take care of the carriage already! "Aaaaaaaaaaand he backed off" XD classic! You shouldn't have written the "(Inazuma Eleven GO reference)" there actually… makes the hidden reference that much more sweeter when found! About that reference… Kariya! Face the snakes! Kariya: NO WAY! *sighs* fine… note to self: the fastest way to die is to put Lyra in a wedding dress. WHA-?! I thought you said I would be DISAPPOINTED a bit… I guess I am on the fact that his screentime was so limited… and the running gag of waiting for extremely long periods of time huh?

[Once upon a time, there were six farmers. Well, there were a lot more than six farmers. But the farmers I'm talking about were peculiar farmers indeed. And their names were Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Omega, and Grisseo. They were very good farmers. Alpha and Omega were always competing with each other. Currently, the record harvest was 1000 carrots by Omega, followed closely by Alpha's 999 carrots. Beta was an even better farmer. He farmed food for his Cubchoo named Cubby. His best harvest was 100 million carrots. Gamma threatened his crops into growing, and he had a harvest of 999,999 carrots. Delta was a very depressing person. He only grew Depressing Tea Leaves that grew on depressed-ness. Of course, since he was so depressing, he had a harvest of around 50 million every year. Grisseo was the last farmer. He stole everybody else's crops to sacrifice them to Darkrai in a shrine that he had built himself.
Of course, this story isn't about those six farmers. Why would it be? ]
Yeah too late I'm bored and out.

Oh man, Izumi AND Sapphire are housewives in this land. I'm gonna swap that one-mile pole for a ten-mile one. Anyways, I KNEW it was gonna be Lustrous and Adamant as soon as I saw the words "blond horn." XD Reminded me of a conversation we had a little bit ago ;) Poor Orange, nobody appreciates his music! Shame. Yeaaaaah Ly's not gonna be held there for long. But DANGIT, these bad guys certainly have an evil setup there, darn slugs! XD Even I didn't know that was one of Lyra's fears! Though, I guess I didn't need to know about that 'un since there aren't any slugs in the Pokémon world anyways. LAPIS! YESSS! I was waiting for Ly's bestie to show up! :D Can't wait for the next chapter!

Oh my gosh, Izumi Curtis is leader of the house wives XD Yeah, I wouldn't go near them with a mile-long pole, in that case. Also, Ly as the assistant Ninja Captain? I think yes. Silver, you're a good dad/ninja trainer XD Oh poor Orange! Can't sing worth a dime. Don't worry buddy, you're in the same boat as me! Gold... *Facepalm* Why. Also, Eth isn't gonna be too happy when he realizes somebody stile his princess XD NOBODY TOUCH LYRA! SHE'LL BITE YOUR ARMS OFF!
And okie dokie, as promised, here's an OC!
Name: Natalie Simmons.
Gender: Female.
Age: 19
Hair: Blond, braided down her back, and underneath one of those flat golfing hats, which she wears sideways.
Eyes: Dark brown.
Clothing: Armored shoulder plates over a scruffy brown leather jacket, and jeans with belt and a large, silver belt-buckle. Her left forearm also has a metal gauntlet that she uses in favor of a shield. She also has a pair of pilot shades that she is very fond of.
Weapon: A rapier strapped to her back. She's right-handed.
Side: Enemy.
Special skills: She can tack up a rapidash/zebstrika faster'n you can blink, has an incredible sense of balance which, paired with her good rock-climbing skills makes it easy for her to get to hard-to-reach places, and can make nonstop puns/bad jokes for hours on end.
Quirks: Likes to spit on the ground a lot, just to showcase how tough she is, always scans a room for traps or soldiers immediately after entering, brushes the horse pokémon to help get her mind off of things she doesn't want to think about, constantly adjusts her hat.
Personality: Rough 'n tumble and not afraid to give you a fist to the face, or a really bad joke. Throws all caution to the wind, usually, and is really bad at reading the mood. She is also very fond of making overdramatic entrances. Kind to her partner Pokémon. Doesn't really have a lot of friends, and overcompensates by trying to be the loudest voice around wherever she goes. By the way, while she's good at getting to hard-to-reach places, stealth is really not her forte.
Sample: "Hey, hey guys! Why couldn't the skeleton cross the road? He didn't have any guts! What's that y'say, Joe? It was bad? Aw, c'mon! Where's the pun in that? What, don't go yet! I'm about to serve tea! Wouldn't do to be leafing! Ahahahahaha! Okay, okay, for real though. let's go kick some royal butt."
Pokémon partner: A very timid joltik that usually hides under her hat, named Tiki, and a foul-tempered ponyta named Greg. (If you can only use one, then use Tiki!)
Favorite food: Flapjacks!
... Shoot now I really wanna draw her... too bad it's already 11:20 XD

And those sudden fourth wall breaks also XD
