Alexandria Beatrice 'Alex' Masters

Age: 17
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 130 lbs.
Place of Birth: Lilycove City, Hoenn
Date of Birth: April 7 (Aries)
Blood Type: A+

Appearance: Alex is a tall, attractive young woman with medium brown
hair reaching down to her back and eyes of the same color. Her most
obvious (and detested) physical trait is her very visible breast size
(she takes a C-cup). She normally wears a green T-shirt, blue jeans,
knee-high socks, brown shoes that vaguely resemble boots, and a brown
jacket with cuffs lined in gold. She carries her main gear (Various
pots and pans, spices, foodstuffs, cooking utensils, extra clothing and
tricorder) in her backpack, while her Poké Balls, PokéDex, PokéNav,
and weapons are stored on her belt.

Personality: Alex is generally an easygoing person; friendly, sociable,
outgoing, and not afraid of talking about her own fears and anxieties.
She's cautious, but has an adventuresome side to her. She is
intelligent, resourceful, clever, humble, somewhat vain, and loyal. She
generally tries to do the best that she can at anything, and often
succeeds. She has been raised to respect life, to understand both sides
of a story rather than make blind judgments, and believe in the old
axiom "Faith manages". However, her patience has limits; she is not
above anger, resentment, or just being seriously ticked with someone.
Nor is she above harming someone if they present a clear threat to Alex
or one of her comrades.

History: Alex was born in Lilycove City in the Hoenn region to Lyle
Masters, a Pokémon researcher with connections to Professor Oak and
the Cinnabar Labs, and Helen Mass-Gale-Masters, a single mother from a
previous marriage. In an incident that she has little knowledge of,
Alex was kidnapped as a baby by agents working for Jackson Canmore and
sent through an experimental prototype Telepod system. The process,
originally meant to kill her in the most horrible manner imaginable,
instead left her DNA permanently altered. She was returned to her
family's care, and Canmore was arrested, avoiding capitol punishment
only through subversive means.

Alex led a normal life since then, attending school, studying dance,
acrobatics, and some martial arts. Nothing extraordinary happened until
her thirteenth year, where her father was killed in a raid on his labs
by Team Aqua. Shortly before her fourteenth birthday, Alex went through
a short but permanent growth spurt which left her looking much as she
does today; an attractive, large-breasted young woman. This is because
Alex is not human; she is in fact an Extaxian, a member of a race alien
to Earth. While she was born with only a small fraction of Extaxian DNA
in her genetic code, her system was totally altered during the
aforementioned incident, changing her into a complete Extaxian. Her
father had planned to explain this to her, had he not have passed on so
soon. Her father's death, combined with Alex's discoveries
concerning her past, the establishment of her mother's company
MasterCorp, and her studies, delayed her Pokémon journey for several
years.

Alex has ultimately come to believe that despite her Extaxian genetics,
she is just as human as her mother and half-sister. With her studies
complete shortly after her sixteenth birthday and her mother's
blessing, Alex set out on her journey with the Torchic given to her by
her father, by then a Combusken dubbed Surtur. Thus far, Alex has
already gathered six Pokémon, defeated five Gym Leaders, and
participated in the Silver Conference, putting in a good showing
despite a loss in the first round. This time has also been marked by
stark changes for Alex as she was forced to kill Jackson Canmore, who
had gone so far as to hire bounty hunters to capture Alex by any means.
Despite this, she hopes to quickly continue her journey.

Hobbies: Alex enjoys reading science fiction novels, building model
kits of old aircraft, and watching Japanese Animé. Among her favorite
series are Silent Möbius and Mobile Fighter G Gundam. She's also
been known to occasionally quote portions of Shakespeare, Star Trek,
and Sherlock Holmes.

Pet Peeves: Alex generally dislikes womanizers, those who make light on
anything involving death and destruction, and those who believe
themselves above others without proper reason.

Abilities: Alex is a capable fighter, having earned black belts in Judo
and Aikido. She is currently studying Jeet Kun Do, the martial arts
style developed by the actor Bruce Lee. She's also an excellent
gymnast and has studied the ballet, sword fighting, and some forms of
armed combat. She can cook very well. Due to her Extaxian heritage,
Alex is blessed with telepathic abilities which allow her to sense
others from a short distance (approximately five yards) and read most
individuals' thoughts. Also, she is blessed with approximately 25%
more strength, speed, agility, and stamina than most humans, as well as
a powerful immune system that protects her from most harmful bacteria
and viruses.

Weapons: Alex carries two distinct weapons with her when traveling. The
first is a pike, an extendable rod that reaches five feet at maximum
length. The pike is hollow and lightweight, but incapable of directly
killing someone in one blow. At worst, the opposing individual is
knocked unconscious or suffers a broken bone. Her second weapon is
usually in clear view at her left side; it is a sword, dubbed the
Dorsal Excalibur. The sword itself is a cross between a European saber
and a Japanese katana, with a hilt featuring a curved guard for the
hand reminiscent of a dolphin's dorsal fin and a small, marble-sized
blue crystal. While its exact composition is unknown, the sword itself
is composed of at least one rare alloy, that being Psionium, a compound
made up of lead, steel and titanium which can block most forms of
metaphysical attack. It can, however, be defeated with a strong enough
attack.

Weaknesses: While her Extaxian genetics offer her several advantages,
those advantages are curtailed by several flaws. Should she ingest a
large amount of caffeine, she would temporarily lose control of her
telepathic abilities and unwillingly scan people. Also, while she can
sense any living creature with a short distance, there are certain
circumstances where she cannot read their thoughts. Pokémon with a
Psychic, Dark, Steel, or Ghost element cannot be read, while any human
possessing similar characteristics or with proper protection also fall
into this same category. Those known to be protected from Alex's
abilities include Dee (Doppler), Aerie, the bounty hunter Trent Retwin,
Mimic, the extradimensional Kitsu and Keaton, Team Rocket member Nori
Mizuke, and Adam "Smasher" Samson, a Pokémon trainer with
channeling abilities. Alex also suspects that similar entities such as
Sabrina, Mewtwo, and Tate and Liza are immune. Alex's own abilities
offer her protection from all but the more powerful psychics, as she
discovered when Dee was able to extract some information from her mind.
Also, due to a childhood fear of Sharpedo, Alex has never learned to
swim. Alex also has a tendency to become 'overburdened' with
concerns, most dealing with her friends and associates.

Current Pokémon: Six

Blaziken (Nickname: Surtur): Surtur was born and initially raised at
one of the many breeding centers in Hoenn, and was eventually given to
Lyle Masters as a birthday gift to his daughter, Alexandria. Over time,
the two grew to understand one another, helped greatly by Alex
realizing that Surtur preferred to not be called 'cute'. Following
Alex's early graduation from school and her registration as a
Pokémon trainer, Surtur evolved into a Combusken and began his journey
alongside Alex. Shortly after admitting how much concern he has for
Alex, he evolved into a Blaziken. Surtur is intelligent and insightful,
but suspicious of others and fairly short-tempered. Despite some of his
commentary towards Alex, Surtur is loyal to her, as well as trusting
and respectful. He enjoys eating Twix candy bars.
Level: 36
Attacks: Fire Punch, Blaze Kick, Rock Smash, Bulk Up

Wartortle (Nickname: Daraxis): Daraxis was the second Pokémon to join
Alex's team, given to her by Professor Oak during a brief visit to
Pallet Town. He evolved into a Wartortle shortly after winning Alex her
first badge at the Violet City Gym. He is stubborn and hardheaded, but
fairly intelligent and loyal to his trainer. Daraxis also has a strong
belief in justice, but has difficulty seeing things beyond black and
white. Alex hopes that Daraxis will learn to see the shades of gray
with time.
Level: 31
Attacks: Bite, Protect, Ice Beam, Surf

Meganium (Nickname: Nadyra): Nadyra was the third Pokémon to join
Alex's team, given to Alex by Professor Elm while visiting New Bark
Town. Nadyra is young, playful, gentle and kind. However, should
something harm her, she will keep a healthy distance from it thereafter
until given reason to do otherwise. She also attempts to act
compassionate towards others, either by drying their tears with her
leaf or releasing a soothing smell to calm them.
Level: 32
Attacks: Cut, Earthquake, Razor Leaf, Synthesis

Murkrow (Nickname: ShadowWarrior): ShadowWarrior was one of a small
family of Murkrow, hatched and raised in the wagon of a traveling show.
At a young age, however, he was taken from his family and eventually
made it into the hands of Team Rocket, who subjected him to experiments
in an effort to teach the young Murkrow to speak English. The efforts
were successful, but ShadowWarrior managed to escape by eliciting the
sympathy of his three temporary guards, one of whom was a talking
Meowth. ShadowWarrior is quite laid-back and has a good sense of humor
that could be described as 'gentle sarcasm', but is still fairly
sensitive about his experiences and considers his abilities
'freakish'. He values honesty, and likes Alex for the fact that she
admits to her own shortcomings. He is also very fond of M&M's
candies.
Level: 27
Attacks: Night Shade, Pursuit, Haze, Fly

Metang (Nickname: Grospoliner): Named for a character from Japanese
Animé, Grospoliner is extremely loyal towards Alex, enough to
occasionally refer to her as 'Master' despite her protests. Much
like its namesake to its master, Grospoliner is telepathically bonded
to Alex, allowing the two to communicate over short distances. The only
item known to inhibit this bond is psionium alloy, which seriously
limits the bond without blocking it. In such cases, only strong emotion
or pain can be felt instead of direct thought. Grospoliner itself is
polite, brave, and quite vocal about battling, often calling out to be
sent to the field via telepathy. It is very intelligent, and highly
protective of Alex and her team to the point that it would risk its own
life for her or them. It is also quite friendly, though he does on
occasion become very nervous when dealing with many individuals.
Level: 22
Attacks: Take Down, Confusion, Metal Claw, Flash

Shiny Unown Eye: Eye started following Sarah the shepherdess moments
after it was set free, wondering if it should join the shepherdess'
team but afraid that she might be a poor Trainer. Eye followed Sarah
for quite a while, but didn't reveal itself to her until she bumped
into an Unown Collective on Route 36 led by Dee, the shiny D-shaped
Unown. There, after being attacked by You, Eye's arch-nemesis, Eye's
mission changed - inspired by the independence speech Sarah gave the
Unown in Dee's Collective, Eye decided to search for other shiny Unown
to tell them that they should remain independent. Eye teamed up with
Gee and Zee to release an Unown they heard was caught by a Rocket in
Mahogany Town. The trio of Unown blew up a restaurant called Morty's
Rockets in Mahogany instead of a Rocket Base by accident then went
their own ways. Eye went as far as Cerulean City in its quest to tell
shiny Unown that they should remain free, but while in Ecruteak City,
its quest was cut short when a woman captured it. The woman's new-found
powers led her into Team Magma. When Mimic killed her in Hoenn, Eye
joined him. Eye was eventually separated from Mimic by Aerie and placed
in Alex's safe keeping, now feeling that perhaps he himself should be
contained for the sake of the world.
Level: 15
Attack: Hidden Power (Grass)

Goals: Alex's current goals include learning the full extent of her
abilities, defeating the Gym Leaders in Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn, and
hopefully winning in a major tournament.

Additional Notes: Alex is currently taking part in the 'Search for
Smasher', and scouring Hoenn for any sign of the young Pokémon
Trainer. Also, Alex temporarily had the Shiny Unown Cue on her team,
but after Cue's suggestion, turned him over to Aerie for safe
keeping.

just in case.]
