Voice: Avril Lavigne
(...under construction. lol)

Tropes:

 * Being Good Sucks
 * Dirty Business
 * Frequently-Broken Unbreakable Vow: Alyssa made a silent promise to herself long ago not to kill a person, and not to kill a pokemon. Her actions in the war have indirectly led to the death of humans, and even the death of pokemon. The death of pokemon at her hands has even made her physically sick.
 * No Good Deed Goes Unpunished
 * Reluctant Warrior: She dislikes violence and needless fighting, but when the going gets tough, the tough (in this case, Alyssa) get going. If you're Lux, you'll be lucky to see mercy from her on a battlefield.
 * Walking the Earth: She's spent 16 years of her life traveling all over the world. Although she knows some Regions better than others, she's definitely made her mark in places other than her home.

Face claim: AXIS POWERS HETALIA, Roman Empire
A former member of Team Magma turned freedom-loving Nox member, Terran is a man who knows what he wants and how he wants it. He joined Nox to make a difference in a world crushed under Lux's heel, especially his beloved home of Hoenn. While his past still haunts him, his fatherly instinct and over 22 years of battling experience make him a fearsome foe in any fight. His ultimate goal is to try and help Nox fend off Lux so his son can grow up in a world where he can live free. He specializes in Ground types, his team including: "Old Ironsides," the world's most chill Torterra, "Mirage," a cocky yet skillful Flygon, "Delta," a space case of an Excadrill, "Razor," a battle-loving Sandslash, and "Guru," a wise Claydol whose teleporting powers prove infinitely useful.

Tropes:

 * Blood Knight - Razor demands fights whenever he sees the chance to get involved in one.
 * Rocksteady. Dear god Rocksteady.
 * Chronic Hero Syndrome - Eeyup.
 * Cloudcuckoolander - Delta fits this to a T.
 * Crippling Overspecialization - When it comes to Pokemon, he always uses Ground types. No exceptions.
 * Disappeared Dad - He was this to his son, Elliot, a fact that he deeply regrets.
 * Dishing Out Dirt - Terran doesn't have a single team member that isn't a Ground type.
 * Dysfunctional Family - Terran's team sees themselves like a big family. Including all the petty squabbles and pointless arguments being a family brings.
 * Knight in Shining Armor - What Terran wants to be for the people of Hoenn.
 * Never Hurt an Innocent - A creed Terran always abides by.
 * Neutral Good - Law, no laws, Terran just wants what's best for Hoenn.
 * Older Sidekick - Despite being 38, he usually takes a supporting role rather than a leading one.
 * Reformed Criminal - Despite formerly being a member of Team Magma, he is now one of the more level-headed and peaceful members of Nox.
 * Stone Wall - His Torterra, Ironsides, has almost impenetrable defenses.
 * The Atoner - He is motivated forward, in part, by guilt over his time at Magma and having to leave his son.
 * Thou Shalt Not Kill - Despite this being war, Terran is very iffy on the issue of killing.
 * Tunnel King - Terran can dig a mean hole when he needs to, but his Excadrill, Delta, takes the cake.
 * Thou Shalt Not Kill - Despite this being war, Terran is very iffy on the issue of killing.
 * Tunnel King - Terran can dig a mean hole when he needs to, but his Excadrill, Delta, takes the cake.

Other Identities: Beast, Amelia, Hana Queen
Queen has three sides: Shy and avoidant, kind and grieving or iron willed and ruthless. You only really see the latter, though. But it's a wrong move to decide what kind of person Queen is from just that, as a girl who is liable for being volatile. Between acquaintances and friends, Queen is more likely to have less friends since she has difficulty expressing her feelings - and more acquaintances. But, you'd never guess when you see Queen in guerilla mode on the battlefield. After all, her reputation for being ruthless isn't a fairytale. Plus, she is quite blunt in words. For her close friends, however, they know how she is quite sensitive and compassionate. Albeit self destructive and complex, there is more to Queen than the combatant she's made herself become. In truth, she's a rather deep and melancholic character whose mind doesn't stop for her emotions.

Enemies are not few and far between. But that won't make Queen ever falter. Got an issue? Get in line. She's not one to attack Lux soldiers, unless need be - or challenged. Realistically, though, Queen doesn't have any qualms with the soldiers or the sympathizers and therefore doesn't hate them. Her criticism is towards the more influential and powerful Lux authority that control Lux organization and tactics. However, Queen is very respectful of the dead and can become livid when certain things she respects are insulted. She also wishes that, other than war, everyone would realize that the fight was ridiculous when both sides have both 'wrong's and 'rights'.

As a lover, Queen is the detached kind - a woman who is both charming and ruthless. It's not that she hasn't dated, but that she's not likely to date long. From experience of working at a brothel, Queen is very wary of men and sees the majority of them as paper dolls. Because of this, she is rather cynical. The intentions of all men are the same: it's about a love game, not love. it's about sex, not her heart. The moment someone confesses that they love her, Queen's heart becomes instantly cold. Even if she does wish for true love, Queen won't take you seriously and will play with you. She'll make you hate her, because she sees love confessions from most men as disgusting. Still, it's very easy for disgust to turn into fear. She has a man phobia under all her mental armor, after all. One wrong move, and ruthless little Queen can become a shivering little girl.

Face-claim: GENSO SUIKOGAIDEN, sierra mikain
Renae's a mystery novelist of some renown (think Castle), but she's more notable for being a philosopher publishing under the pseudonym Renge, who's basically Voltaire with boobs. She's big on harmony, security, order, and basically everything Lux stands for, which makes sense because she wrote what they stand for.

Then the war started. She stayed by Lux's side at first, but then pulled a Face Heel Turn. Her original intention was to hide in her home region Unova to hibernate through the war, but at every turn, Lux has pissed her off more and more. Now she's involved on the frontlines, urging leaders to fight and raising outcry against Lux everywhere she goes.

She's also a crazy psycho-bitch, an ice queen, and a huge dick.

Tropes:

 * Badass Bookworm - Yeah, so her job's to write, but she's no slouch in a battle either.
 * Face Heel Turn - Once one of the core members of Lux, a founder no less, now battling for Lux at every turn.
 * Deadpan Snarker - Well, it's not that deadpan. More just plan mean-spirited.
 * Disproportionate Retribution - Started the fighting at Sootopolis when Hector and Tika hadn't even moved to silence the ralliers yet. It Got Worse when she retaliates against a blizzard with Sheer Cold.
 * Manipulative Bitch - Pulls strings at her leisure.
 * Moral Myopia - Of course, Renae also thought that a massacre would be good PR for Nox, so she had no problem starting/escalating the violence.
 * Jerkass - Will put down people for no reason but her own entertainment
 * No-Holds-Barred Beatdown - Attacked soldiers following orders with Sheer Cold.
 * The Philosopher - Modeled off of Voltaire.
 * Sliding Scale of Idealism vs. Cynicism - Somehow believes in a better world despite being an Alpha Bitch.
 * The Unfettered - Her goal is to bring down Lux. She doesn't particularly care what's lost in the effort.
 * Warrior Poet - Writes poetry as well

Face claim: Eureka 7, Dominic Sorel
Backpacker. Wanderer. Current Nox Guerilla. The troubled drifter went under many names in his lifetime. He simply goes by his given name now. Haunted by his mother’s death, he struggles to become glorious in the ranks of Nox. He’s often seen as quirky among his comrades and tends to be the butt of all damn jokes. A flying specialist: his pokémon usually have other element besides flight. His team includes: “Akela,” the bullet Crobat; “Garuda,” the sky conquering Braviary; “Raja,” the mystical Xatu; “Gautama,” the sassy Vullaby, “Oda,” the silent Ledian; and “Yanma” THE EGG HATCHING YANMA. Along with this specialty, he has a natural affinity with planes that he doesn’t know about yet… c:

Tropes:

 * Badass Normal: Barnaby ain't no Champion, but he's fought his fair share of 'em. AND SURVIVED.
 * Born Lucky: Let's see you fight an Ice/Electric team with only flyers.
 * Brilliant but Lazy: Oh, he could definitely play war with the best of them, but Barnaby would never fight until he's ordered to.
 * Butt Monkey: a la "Peddiursa". He never catches a break!
 * Chaotic Good: Much like half of Nox, freedom is the key to happiness.
 * Glass Cannon: Barnaby's team is all attack and speed, no defense. Strategy is basically a must. Luck helps too!
 * Glory Seeker: Despite his demeanor, he just can't wait to be king.
 * Knight Templar: Barnaby thinks he's downright holy.
 * No Fourth Wall: There's never been a fourth wall!
 * Took a Level in Badass: Barnaby is the most killable person on PRE. Will he ever die though? Hahahahaha.
 * Trash Talk: Expect insults throughout every single match.
 * Sir Swearsalot: Those EGG HATCHING Lux.
 * Walking the Earth: Barnaby clinically must travel. It's the reason for him popping up everywhere. He manages to stay in Olivine for longer stretches of time.
 * Would Hit a Girl: Threatened a 10-year-old girl, to be exact.

Face claim: AXIS POWERS HETALIA, Italy
Terran's son, a sympathizer of Nox who just wants to see the war all end. Greatly saddened by his father having to leave his life, he still manages to always keep optimistic despite his oftentimes poor luck. Above all he just wants peace to come back to his home of Hoenn, but as that doesn't seem likely without having to fight he'll do what he needs to in order to bring peace. He'd rather not fight, and when he does end up being involved in the war it is either helping with propaganda or being caught in the crossfire. His team is composed of individually weak yet crafty Pokemon, lead by his trusty starter, a Marshtomp named Hydro. Other team members include "Supernova," an egotistical Starly, "Mordin," a very intelligent Elgyem, and "THE BOULDER," a Roggenrola who thinks he's a wrestler.

Tropes:

 * Chronic Hero Syndrome - He and his dad share this.
 * Cute Shotaro Boy
 * Disappeared Dad - Terran.
 * Hypercompetent Sidekick - Hydro's got a good head on her shoulders, taking command of the others when Elliot can't.
 * Magikarp Power - He doesn't have a single fully evolved Pokemon on his team.
 * Martial Pacifist - He wants the war to end, but when backed into a corner or pushed hard enough he will fight.
 * Puppy Love - With Anabel, although really they are more teens than children.
 * Shrinking Violet - He has his moments.
 * Why Did It Have To Be Snakes? - Afraid of Patrat, of all the ridiculous things.

Face claim: POKEMON, proton
The artist formerly known as Alexander James Hoffman, Jr. He's a member of Team Rocket, and has no problems admitting it. He's often called The Scissorfiend.

Tropes:

 * Anime Hair: Proton's hair is green. For some reason, everyone comments on it, despite pink, blue, or silver hair being very common.
 * Annoying Laugh
 * Ax Crazy: And how.
 * Berserk Button: There are a ton. Some of them are more moral than others (for example, child abusers), but others are more petty. The biggest one is his hatred for being called a whore or any variant of it.
 * Bookworm: Don't tell anyone. He's sort of embarrassed about it.
 * Break the Cutie: Alex actually was a very innocent child. He just got dealt a bad hand, and failed to respond in a way that would better his situation.
 * Also causes this in a ton of characters.
 * Dark and Troubled Past
 * Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Yells "I don't need your pity" at Platinum.
 * Driven to Villainy: In part by circumstances, in part by his own pride, in part by desperation. Arguable, as Proton could have easily prevented all of this by merely asking for help back when he was a kid.
 * Enemy Within: Alex is somewhere in there, buried deep within the buzzing of the Scissorfiend.
 * Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Petrel.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: He won't hurt children.
 * Freudian Excuse
 * Giggling Villain: Falls in with Annoying Laugh.
 * Hair-Trigger Temper: Sort of obvious. It's very, very easy to piss him off.
 * Hates Being Touched
 * Hates Small Talk
 * Hemo-Erotic
 * Knife Nut
 * Leaning on the Furniture: Sitting on desks, leaning on doorframes, kicking back where he shouldn't be... One day he'll break one of Giovanni's endtables.
 * Licking the Blade: Sort of a constant theme.
 * Loves the Sound of Screaming
 * Monster Sob Story
 * Rape as Backstory
 * Psycho for Hire: Works for Team Rocket. Cuts people up for fun and profit. Need I say more?
 * Slouch of Villainy: Often lounges in chairs. Posture? What posture?
 * Self-Made Orphan: Proton killed both of his parents.
 * The Sociopath: Arguable. He's certainly more likely to show pity or remorse than Merope, but it'll take a lot of convincing.
 * Stab Happy
 * Team Killer: Neither Nox nor Team Rocket members are safe from Proton's scissors.
 * Torture Technician
 * Weapon of Choice: Scissors, and to a lesser extent, his knifegun and forks.
