Name: Shira Oricalum
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Orientation: Straight, has a bf
Appearance: See images, but Shira stands at about 5’4 and has a teal streak in her hair. She also has a few scars from the early days of training Valor… And has the look of someone who has fought god and won.
Shira does have more normal looking clothes but carries the stylish street punk aesthetic.
Personality: Shira is fairly calm and collected, yet kind. She’s definitely got a strong set of morals and isn’t above clapping you if you try and pull something on her. But… Shira can also forgive even the worst crimes for a good enough reason. However she has zero tolerance for those who take advantage of the weak.
She’s seen it all man, not much is going to phase her at this point. Including death, more than once actually.
Opinion on Otherworlders: I treat you the way you treat me
Type: Normal (technically she’s a Champion from another region but just doesn’t like announcing it)
Pokemon: (Main team, does have a few in rotation that I miiight list in the other. Comes from a harsher region. Her team is easily stronger than most normal people, but for the sake of fairness she probably holds back a bit and will kinda match her opponent.)

Backstory: Shira grew up in the Sinnoh region, but two years ago went off to the Reborn region as she wanted to take on their legendary league… And well got more than she bargained for. The train Shira rode in getting bombed and starting the wild adventure she had. Between fighting team meteor, who started as just wanting their land back and devolved into people wanting more power, keeping a bunch of orphans away from a horrible doctor who liked electroshock way too much, AND gym leader drama… Yeah Shira’s seen it all and not much will top what she has seen.
(Read, go play Pokemon Reborn. It’s great)
She has encountered Legendaries n’ all but more or less just lets them be free and do their own thing.
Shira came her to Alola after being Champion for about a year, and not worrying about a child folding reality at the same time. She says it's for vacation, but really she caught wind of what was going on and wants to make sure it’s not like what happened in Reborn last year. (it took her several months to become champ b/c of drama and the region being bad for a while)
Extra Info:
-Sometimes uses a regular Ninetales that’s a bit more defensive or a Gigalith if you manage to be an annoying OKer
-If you want an interesting story, ask about Terra. You won’t be disappointed
-Really just ask her about her gym challenge in general
-Why yes, I run a bit of a Trick Room team… It WRECKED many things in Reborn. This is pretty much the team I used m’kay?
-To answer the burning question, her boyfriend is Taka from Reborn. That’s all.
-Tries to pass herself off as a weaker trainer than she really is… As she’s a bit undercover. But also b/c it’s funny to see the look on someone’s face when they get unexpectedly destroyed
-This is not the face of mercy
Name: Valor
Age: 20’s, or the equivalent of it
Gender: non-binary, they/them
Species Slivally
Orientation: Aromantic
Appearance: Valor stands at 7’07 and is pretty much the normal size for their species. What sets Valor apart from others is the fact they are the Reborn shiny in terms of color, meaning you can deff tell what type Valor is in a much more visually striking manner.
Link to an PNG on the wiki as das a lot of images
Aside from that, Valor has a few odd stitch-like scars on their limbs from the creation process and has a prominent slash scar on their hind left leg that looks like it came from something with vicious claws.
Valor wears a necklace made of strong, braided chord that has a pendant bearing the symbol of Reborn City on it that they wear pretty much all the time.
ref image: (have a proper image)
Quote:
Also ummm I drew this
This is Valor, and the their eyes canonically have partial heterochromia on one side around the pupil. (Steel type if it wasn't obvious)
Personality: Valor can come off as harsh and cold to strangers, paired with being slow to trust this can make them seem rather difficult to approach let alone befriend… But this is more or less due to how Valor was created and their life experiences giving them a slightly wary world view.
However, Valor will fight ferociously to protect an innocent from harm, regardless of how well they know them. As they despise the thought of careless harm. Don’t take this as being unkind or anything, as Valor is rather kind, just cold at first.
Once Valor warms up to you however, you now have a fiercely loyal friend that is the embodiment of ‘looks like they could kill you and can… Is actually very sweet.’
Wild or Partner: Partner (Shira)
Type(s): All of them, tho tends to favor the steel type and defaults to normal
Moves:
-Iron Head (Steel, Phys can flinch)
-Multi-Attack (same as Valor, Phys)
-Flamethrower (Fire, Sp burn chance)
-Air Slash (Flying, Sp can flinch)
Held Item: Metronome/type memory
Backstory: (this can be applied to Shira too)
Gonna do this as a bit of a short summary, and for those who have played Reborn I’m using the Zekrom path for some details as I haven’t gathered the will to do Reshiram/’prefect’ path/end yet. The parts in spoilers are for those who don’t want a heavy plot spoiled for them and me being respectful of that.
Valor was created by a member of the Aether foundation that defected and ran off with a partially created Type: Null. This member ended up in the illegal dealings of the Reborn region’s 7th street. To complete the creation, this person needed three specific pokemon (Caravanna, Unfazant, and Luxray) to give the Null more form than just the base skeleton… In less than humane ways if you know what I mean.
Shira was the unfortunate soul that enabled the completion of this creature… However nobody was quite prepared for the fact the resulting Type: Null would violently lash out with slivers of memory from what went into its creation. Killing the woman that created it.
Shira, feeling awful and slightly guilty, wore down the Null to catch it and befriend it. Naming it ‘Valor’ as she was going to help this creature reclaim it so to speak.
Valor started off rather aggressive and untrusting towards Shira for quite a while, but slowly grew to trust and enjoy her. It wasn’t all that long before Valor evolved during a battle with a certain Team Meteor Knight duo to push for that victory.
As time went on, so did the sheer power of the challenges Valor and the rest of Shira’s team faced, and the things people were willing to do in the name of their cause got even more radical. Yet Valor could adapt to almost any situation with their ability to change types to provide an edge in a fight or interact with the battlefield to provide that extra edge.
This all sorta came to a head when during a raid on a Team Meteor base, the current champion of the region
was killed by the ‘leader’ of Team Meteor in a brutal fashion. And was quite frankly a horrid shock to the already hellish trails that had occurred in this raid gone awry, yet even this wasn’t quite the end of this ordeal… (PULSE Magnezone fight)
But after all that… Shira made a promise to the survivors of the raiding group that she would get the last few badges and become the champion in the more traditional way. Valor of course supported Shira in this endeavor, slaying fairies, being a noble steed to traverse the desert faster… You name it Valor did it.
But during this time, they saw some awful things happen to other people… Things like a friend on the ‘enemy’ side getting an eye stabbed out for a perceived betrayal or dead up seeing some disturbing things. Hell, there were even a few attempts made on Shira and her team’s lives on Victory Road!
Skipping over a few things to save time and not do plot spoiling for Reborn, Valor ended up being a mainstay of Shira’s team when she not only became champion, not only saved the region (possibly the rest of the world too) from destruction, BUT fought god twice to do it and WON!
Extra Info:
-Valor has a few type specific ‘powers’ like flying, walking on water, phasing through things, and weak telekinesis… Specific to types mind you
-Valor can talk, but only when Dragon, Psychic, or Fairy type
