Appearance Sophie is a small purple-haired girl. She wears a cute pair of glasses over her blue eyes. She wears an unflattering combination of a yellow turtleneck that's a size too big and long brown skirt. Underneath, she hides a rockin' body complete with supple breasts. Under her clothes, she wears the Nanosuit, and a wrist interface that controls it.

Backstory: Sophia is your regular genius Pokemon Researcher. Not particularly impressive, they're a dime a dozen in the Pokemon world, right? Regardless, Sophie was good enough to land herself a job in Ricewood Masterworks, and soon enough was leading her own projects. Among which were the Nanosuit, a handy item that combines every piece of Slayer armor in one place. She also works closely with Jeanette Ricewood herself on several projects.

Her current assignment is research into the capabilities of a previously undiscovered Pokemon. As it has no mouth and has shown no other ways of communication, no one is quite sure what it's name is. In lab testing, this Pokemon proved not to be weak to any of the known elemental types, even after using Gravity to rule out a Ghost/Dark type. In fact, it doesn't seem to have any specific type. Currently, Sophie's task is to test it out in the field. To that end, Ricewood volunteered her to join PATCA, as well as to keep an eye on Darcelle.

Personality: Sophie is your classic high school geek, except she's smokin' hot (to be fair, point me at an ugly anime person and I'll show you hateful lies). As a result of a rather sheltered upbringing, Sophie suffers from crippling social awkwardness. She gets extremely nervous talking to people in any situation outside the lab. In fact, that's the only time she seems confident. In spite of this, she has a brilliant analytical mind and an unquenchable thirst for knowledge. Whenever she comes across something new, a fire lights up in her eyes and she launches into a rant on figuring out the how and why.

She is an avid fan of anime, manga and hentai, and owns a rather large collection of all three.

Shock Trooper Skill: Pacifier ~ The amount of Rage generated by Sophia's attacks (and her Pokemon's) is deducted from the target's Rage, and the target recieves no Rage gain for being attacked.

Signature Technique: Test Amoeba ~ 70/100 RP, Sophie throws a test tube on the ground around four enemies. The amoeba occupies the space of four spots in the enemy formation. Enemies in those positions are Bound (target cannot use contact moves or be switched out) and take Badly Poisoned damage. Enemies that switch into those spots will become trapped. The amoeba can only be destroyed by two Fire-type attacks and trapped enemies can use contact-type Fire moves for this purpose.

TsujimiName: Tsujimi

Type: Almighty

Ability: Indifference

Stats

HP: 80
Attack: 80
Defense: 80
Special Attack: 80
Special Defense: 80
Speed: 80
Total: 480

Species: Feral Demon

Appearance: Height: 4'5"; Weight: 115.4 lbs
Tsujimi has a humanoid body that is entirely white. It has a long head with a point at the end. It's eyes have red irises and it has no mouth or nose. It's torso, arms and legs are long and slender, and it has simple feet with no toes. It has five-fingered hands tipped with razor-sharp claws, and a long tail. Simple, yes, but deadly.

Personality: Tsujimi's name was actually given to it long ago by someone else, and they became known as such throughout the Netherworld. Tsujimis are semi-rare denizens of the Netherworld. They are notoriously hard to kill, due to the fact that they have absolutely no weak points, they emit an aura that enables them to penetrate any defense, and their unerring aim. They are also known for their shapeshifting capabilities. Due to the fact that they don't care much for anyone else, even others of their own species, they often wander alone. Tsujimis require no substenance and they do not tire. A Tsujimi does not bother to hide their Aura, and it will always display as a dark blue. A Tsujimi's only motivation is becoming stronger by fighting anyone it encounters. Nevertheless, they are smart, and know to run away when they are outmatched, usually to pursue their opponent for a while and strike them unawares. A lone traveler meeting a Tsujimi is the proud new owner of a death sentence.

Sophie encountered a Tsujimi that had wandered into the Umbral world and, thinking it was simply a previously undiscovered Pokemon, had a long and grueling battle and finally captured it. She is currently unaware that it is a Fiend, although the implications of Fiends from the Netherworld being susceptible to pokeballs are definitely interesting...

HMs: Cut, Strength, Rock Smash, Rock Climb

About Mix & Match: I actually thought this one up last night, but for some reason I didn't include it in her upgrades. I must've been REALLY tired.

Anyway, like it says, Sophie can generate one of the items available to Medics. You know, Restores, Revives, Status healers and X-items, you know. Of course, she can't use it if she's already carrying six items. And she can't use it for someone else, either.

Immunities: Fire, Steel.



Conditional UpgradesConditional Upgrades:

1) At Demon Half 2 and Slayer 4, Sophia gains Chemical Knowledge. The effectiveness of all status effects is reduced by 50%. Status effects that normally take two turns to heal on require one turn's healing.

2) At Demon Half 3 and Slayer 5, Sophia gains Transfiguration, giving her a 5% chance of turning an attack directed at her into healing for the same amount of damage it would have done.



Trainer ActionsTrainer Actions:

Morphine: Damage for both Pokemon is reduced by 20% for the remainder of the turn.

First Aid: One Pokemon recovers 50% of their max HP.

- Armor Two: Force Field ~ Reflects 25% of Special damage back to the attacker.

Overdrive: Power of Science ~ All allies recieve 25% less damage from all elemental types for three turns.


Gem, you figured out what to do about her Splash skill? We gotta figure out what her chances of inflicting status on the two adjacent targets are.

Unless you mean we should apply that "20% of the base chance" to it too, in which case I may have to slap you.

I'll be linking this post from Pierce's bio.

Well then, three down, one to go.

Dunno, if I should bother with Sam right now. It'll be a long while yet before the joins.
