TEAM MAGMA
allies for now, provided they don't render themselves expendable.
Mitch - Second In Command
The one within the organization I find myself closest to, for good reason; also sycophantic as hell, though that's entirely unrelated. Clearly seized by a compulsion to Do Well. As long as he continues to Do Well, no complaints; he's highly competent, and so probably won't stop Doing Well anytime soon.
Mack - Admin in Charge of Technological...Stuff
The second of my admins to show up in this place. Attitude as it always was, which isn't necessarily a compliment. Not necessarily an insult, either, however - he's still rather driven, and driven people? Are always good to have.
Marge - Admin in Charge of Wandering Aimlessly and Burning Shit
And this completes the set. This one's from well before the betrayal; while I'm keeping an eye on her, her presence bodes well. She remains as eager as ever; if she knows what's good for her, she'll keep it that way.
Tabitha - Hell If I Even Know, Though I Assume He's An Admin?
Masculine individual, girly name. Belongs to the double of the Incompetent variety. From what I can tell, equally incompetent. Not much need for him now, though he may be useful eventually.
Edmond - Supposed Benefactor
Claims to be nobility from an alternate Hoenn. No idea what his deal is, nor do I particularly care to find out. Sanctimonious bastard, really, and loyal to the double of the Incompetent variety; dealt with when necessary.
MORONS
because true doubles would actually have a brain between them.
Rival of the Incompetent Variety
Claims to have given up his goals. As idiotic as those goals are, this is unforgivable; despite my hatred for Team Aqua, even I can tell that this moron is a disgrace. Recently ended up dead, though he technically still robbed me of the damn kill.
Double of the Incompetent Variety
Also turned his back on his goals, and insists on getting involved in things in ways that we all need like another hole in the head. Recently drowned by my rival; I can't exactly say he didn't have it coming.
Rival of the Painfully Fucking Stupid Variety
About the only thing decent about this one is that fact that his battling style has potential. Otherwise? Not worth my time. Insists on attempting civility with me; that doesn't change the fact that we met when he threw a shark at my face.
GROUDON
ultimate goal.
Terra - Closest Thing to a Literal Mother Earth That Exists, Really
Far more patient with humans than I'm used to, but I'm not complaining. Has a tendency to get patronizing when she doesn't get her way immediately, but generally worthy of respect. As Groudon, she'd receive it anyway, but. Technicalities. Shiny, for what it's worth.
Adamo - JFC Are You Trigger-Happy Or What
Only came across him once; got the left half of my body burned for my effort. Much closer to the Groudon I'm accustomed to, though he doesn't seem to know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to that whole...incident.
YOU ARE ON A VERY NEGATIVE LIST
long drop, sudden stop.
Ruby - Child #1 from That Incident In Hoenn
The one with the fucking Feebas. Not any more tolerable here, not to mention withholding information. Disturbingly fierce. Reason the truce with Norman broke; apparently we had a run-in while I wasn't...present, let's say.
Sapphire - Child #2 from That Incident In Hoenn
The one with the fucking giant chicken. Overly confrontational. Again, not any more tolerable here than she was back in Hoenn, though apparently she's picked up a penchant for relating ridiculous stories to people she doesn't like - she insisted on going on about a...sword or somesuch.
Norman - Ruby's Father; Petalburg City Gym Leader
Actually from my Hoenn. Currently held to a truce with this one, due to the whims of the island As expected, the truce is now broken, for the reasons listed above. Damaged my sight in the left eye. Things won't end pleasantly for him.
Marge - Former(?) Team Magma Admin
...let's. Not go there, shall we? We've met once in this place. She's still claiming loyalty, but I have reason to think otherwise; let's just say it wasn't a pleasant reunion.
Amber - Team Aqua Admin
Another of those men from Hoenn with an unfortunately girly name; this one seems to have fallen out of Archie's good graces for...well. Fuck only knows what reason. The point is that he's the one responsible for the loss of the Blue Orb; he'll pay for it dearly.
YOU EXIST AND ARE TOLERABLE IDEK
no comment.
Agatha - So Begins The List Of People I Don't Know Shit About
I can't say that I know this one terribly well; she seems the sort that no one really gets to know, at least not without years of camaraderie and/or the patience of a goddamn saint. Needless to say I won't be getting to know her very well. But that's fine with me - the snark is good and so she's tolerable enough.
Cynthia - Champion of the Sinnoh Region
Can't seem to decide if interactions should be pleasant or antagonistic. Usually ends up being a mixture of both, though that's never been something I really complain about. She keeps things interesting around here, at least.
Giovanni - Leader of Team Rocket
Seems to have gotten over the fact that I've blown his cover in front of the fine lady directly above, in favor of relentless trolling and generally being an unmitigated ass when it suits him to be. Regardless, he's decent to talk to.
Harley - I Kind Of Can't With Him
Well. This one is mostly tolerable, anyway, as he has an obnoxious capacity for getting in my face when he really doesn't need to be there. However. Good at cooking, of all goddamn things; at least he's another one that keeps things interesting.
May - I Seriously Don't Know Shit About Half These People
Despite her resemblence to a certain other child who is going on a very negative list should I ever see her in this place, this one is actually tolerable. Met her a few times. Not terrible to deal with, at least.
Red - Possessed by Something Really Violent
No idea where the hell this one is from or who threw him under a bus. Kid's got issues; only approached him originally due to the fact that he was clearly having problems involving Disconnecting. As little as I actually care about the kid, at the very least that much is understandable.
Red - ...He...Likes Slugmas, I Guess???
Not an altogether unpleasant kid, as apparently Reds generally aren't altogether unpleasant kids. Or something. Being fed lies by the rival of the Painfully Fucking Stupid variety, however. Keeping an eye on him for now.
Rosetta - Some Bundle Of Pink From Unova
Yeah, I'm going to wait until I talk to this one when I'm not drunk as hell. And probably hallucinating. ...hopefully hallucinating.
Rowan - Half Of Them, I Am Telling You
Formerly 'That Guy With The Fierce Mustache.' As little as I like professors meddling in anyone's business, I actually like this one. At least he's not completely humorless - rather a snarky one, actually - and he tends to insult Team Galactic, which is always okay.
Sird - ...She's a Butterface With Nice Legs
Some woman claiming to be from Team Rocket. Or something. Thinks far more highly of herself than she should - but then, we met when she'd presumably just finished making a half-dozen or so children explode, so at the very least, she presumably throws fantastic parties.
Shelly - Team Aqua Admin
Surprisingly not Angie; also surprisingly more tolerable than Angie. Belongs to the double of the Incompetent variety. Seems content to keep herself out of trouble reasonably well, though she does ask too many questions; she can stay for now.
YOU EXIST AND ARE INTOLERABLE IDEK
the less said, the better.
Archer - Team Rocket Executive
Despite his high rank, clearly has no idea how to talk without resorting to cryptic bullshit in an attempt to sound clever. Clearly needs to be shown the difference between being in control and playing with what's left of his boss' toys.
Ariana - Team Rocket Executive
Has an obnoxious tendency to act dumber than she is. Attempting to train a Numel despite a complete inability to pronounce its name - it is not a Nommel, thank you, now I can't get that out of my head. Not battle-willing, probably due to the fact that she has a lot of very...flammable Pokémon, Numel aside.
Charon - Team Galactic Commander
Remarkably stupid and disgustingly obsessed with material things; I'm still unsure as to whether this makes him a good mark or something that should be avoided at all costs. Right now the sense of schadenfreude is enough to keep me talking to him, though he tends to remind me that this place considers aspirin an option, not a necessity.
Elisa - ...Random Kid
Trains fire-types; Pokémon seem advanced, but she has no common sense whatsoever. She's going to get a nasty awakening one day if she doesn't watch it; might be interesting to give it to her myself. Had a bit of a falling-out with her; apparently she's fond of the Incompetent double above.
Io - Team Galactic Commander
Or, at least, she's some woman who claims to be from Team Galactic, though she seems a bit out-of-the-loop. Met her by chance. If she tries to mind-control me again, it won't end well.
James - I...Am Not Sure What This One Is Even Supposed To Be
I'm not even sure where to start with this one. Ridiculously overconfident brat who's overreaching in an attempt to be edgy; taking him down a few pegs should prove to be fun.
Jupiter - Team Galactic Commander
Contrary to the first impression she was giving off, surprisingly not a hooker, if one of the rudest hippies I've had the pleasure of meeting. That aside, though? Remarkably easy to toy with, good for occasional entertainment. If a bit unhinged.
N - NGL I Really Kind Of Can't With Some Of Them
...he's an odd one. That's about all that can be said. Keeping an eye on it until I can get a proper feel for what the hell's going on; he seems genuine, and decent, but the read is...strange. I don't know what it is, but I don't trust it.
That Girl With The Legs - Obviously That Is All That Matters
I have no idea who this one is, outside of "a Team Rocket admin" and "fucking everywhere" - never got her name despite frequent run-ins. Decent body, horrible personality; relatedly, I'm beginning to suspect that I just do not mesh well with members of teams from outside of Hoenn...
I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO PUT YOU, YOU ASSHOLE
don't let it go to your goddamn head.
Archie - Rival; Leader of Team Aqua
Despite fully intending to kill him eventually, the truce is still under effect here, both for the sake of mutual benefit and through personal choice - after all, you know what they say about keeping your friends close and your enemies closer. And anything past that? Is really no one else's business.
