News.....

Hey all, how's it going?

Well I've got bad news... my graphics tablet is broken
Today while I was finishing off that last commission I just uploaded, the end of the usb cable broke off and imbedded itself into the tablet. So it won't work at all ;^; Luckily I got the picture done before it happened, but now I'll have to send it in for repairs or save up to buy a new one. I'm not sure how long it will take, gotta call the company on Monday...For now I just have a few adoptables I created a while ago that I might put up, but other than that, looks like no new commissions or art until I fix this, sorry guys... especially to those who were waiting to get commissions. ><

My Pokemon Fan Characters

I call my Pokemon fan-story.. "Pokemon: Makoto Challenge!"

Satoshi (Ash), along with his partner Pikachu, have traveled to the Makoto region to start a new journey. Not long after he arrives, he meets two troublesome kids there by the names of Minako and Kichiro, who are twin brother and sister on their own secret quest. After several more chance encounters with these two, they eventually join up and start traveling together. It doesn't take long though for Satoshi to realize that these two are even harder to handle than he thought, what with Minako seeking out trouble and getting the group locked up one too many times, Kichiro being absolutely no help in anything as he freaks out at the drop of a pin, and the two simply driving Satoshi crazy at all hours with their strange antics.

This madness is finally…slightened when they meet a girl named Yukiko, a childhood friend of Minako and Kichiro who used to live in their town. She is pretty much miss perfect; super sweet, kind, polite, elegant... and she's more than happy to join them on their trip, wanting to rekindle their old friendship.

And so the four go on together, somehow mashing their polar-like personalities into one group. A jittery coward, a scheming troublemaker, a sickeningly-sweet optimist, and a determined wannabe Pokemon Master. Add in a bunch of new Pokemon on the team and let's see just how long they can stand each other without going insane.

Main Character Bios:

Minako
Gender: Female
Age: 10
Hair Colour: Blonde
Eye Colour: Light brown
Hometown: Shalon Town
Family: Father (Tamotsu), Mother (Miharu), Brother (Kichiro)
Occupation: Pokemon Trainer
Nature: Laid back, cheeky, childish
Pros: Relaxed, happy
Cons: Easily bored, trouble-making, impolite, selfish
Likes: Scary things, schemes , junk food
Dislikes: Exercise, shopping, pretty much anything that takes effort
Pokemon so far: Pyropaw, Swarmite, N/A
Goal: "World's worst travelling companion" (hasn't decided yet)
Extra: Minako is a cheeky little trickster. She's very confident, sneaky and playful and likes getting under people's skin (especially when they are easily annoyed xD _{coughsatoshicough} ) Unfortunately she's also rather selfish and doesn't like following the rules, or being polite and 'ladylike'. She gets in trouble a lot. She also has a very strong bond with her brother Kichiro, she'd do anything for him, not that she shows it (she mostly just teases and scares him xD). At first Minako doesn't care for being a trainer much, doesn't bother training or caring properly for her Pokemon, but she grows over time into a skilled and kind trainer. She hardly ever gets angry, 'cause it's her job to annoy others. She also doesn't scare or get flustered easily. Little kids think she's super cool. She agrees with them.

Common facial expressions for Minako:


Kichiro
Gender: Male
Age: 10
Hair Colour: Blonde
Eye Colour: Light brown
Hometown: Shalon Town
Family: Father (Tamotsu) Mother (Miharu) Sister (Minako)
Occupation: Pokemon Trainer
Nature: Timid, pessimistic, childish
Pros: Kind, caring, thoughtful
Cons: Cowardly, not reliable in most cases, cries easily, can be a bit slow xD;
Likes: Shiny Pokemon, childish things, shiny things, junk food, music
Dislikes: Horror, ghosts, anything scary
Pokemon so far: Ferntail, Spectol, Splauki, N/A
Goal: (not decided yet)
Likes: Yukiko
Extra: Kichiro is a silly character that is scared by pretty much everything.  Unfortunately, he often thinks badly of himself and feels like no one likes him. He's very pessimistic, paranoid and suspicious, even towards his friends (more-so in the beginning). Over time his personality improves, from having to let go of his fears and learn to trust, to save his Pokemon and friends. Underneath his nerves, he's a lot like Minako. Very lazy and childish. He likes things simple and hates ghosts more than anything. Besides being smitten with Yukiko, he also has an obsession with shiny things and will often be distracted by something that catches his eye. He wants to catch as many shiny Pokemon as he can and learn more about them.

Common facial expressions for Kichiro:


Yukiko
Gender: Female
Age: 10
Hair Colour: Pink
Eye Colour: Pale blue
Hometown: Manor City
Family: Father (Norio) Mother (Hiromi)
Occupation: Pokemon Trainer
Nature: Kind, optimistic, elegant
Pros: Very polite, sweet, caring, always smiling
Cons: Over-optimistic, naive, covers up any worries/sadness she feels, her constant sweetness can get a little strange/creepy xD Gets crazy hyper when she eats sugary sweets (which is her favourite thing to eat @_@)
Likes: Pretty much everything she sees xD Sweets and music especially
Dislikes: ...Nothing, apparently xD
Pokemon so far: Spudle, Flutterbai, N/A
Goal: (not decided yet)
Extra: Yukiko was raised in a very rich home with very materialistic parents. She learnt to be polite and elegant, but decided herself that the snobbiness and arrogance was not something that suited her. Yukiko is very caring and affectionate, often hugging people and helping them even when it's unnecessary.  She is considered very pretty. She is very, very naive though and doesn't really understand the world, which gets her into trouble a lot. She doesn't let anyone see when she's upset either. Her favourite thing to do is sing, or eat sweets, which make her hyper and dance everywhere. (often dragging in others to dance with her @_@) She will often nibble on cute Pokemon she finds, gushing that she'd like to nom them up (and then proceed to be pwned by the Pokemon xD)  

Common facial expressions for Yukiko:


The group as a whole:
Satoshi, Minako, Kichiro, and Yukiko - The Makoto quartet - probably one of the most disfunctional groups in history. They're constantly getting into trouble, and usually come across as a group of annoying troublemaker brats to strangers. They take ages to get around due to poor navigation, distractions and laziness. Minako and Kichiro are the main reasons for the trouble, and over time their behaviour rubs off on Satoshi and Yukiko (and anyone that decides to join them temporarily). At first, Minako and Kichiro just irritate and tire out Satoshi, but after a while they all warm up to eachother. Yukiko is pretty much instant friends with the trio when she arrives, though it takes them a while to get used to being around someone that's constantly on cloud nine.
However, since Minako, Kichiro and Yukiko were all childhood friends, Satoshi feels somewhat left out for a while. But after they realize this, they pronounce him an official member of their newly made up club, the "AMGE" - the "Awesome Makoto Group of Epicness" (named by Minako...xD) and give him a membership card. From then on they're a solid group of four.

Relationships:

Minako & Kichiro: Twin brother and sister. Very close, like best friends. They always stick together and would do anything for each other. Since they were little, Minako has always enjoyed teasing and scaring poor little Kichiro, who would only whine and cry in return. They often fight over who is the older sibling, both of them firmly believing that they themselves are older.
They are on their own special quest to find their mother, a famous top ranger who went missing on a dangerous mission when they were little. Due to their father's over-protectiveness, they had to sneak out in the middle of the night to start their quest, while he was asleep. The two kept their search a secret from Satoshi and Yukiko until the group arrived at the huge ranger base, located all the way at the other end of the region. Soon after, the whole mystery was finally unraveled.

Other Character Bios

Tamotsu
Gender: Male
Age: 45
Hair Colour: Brown
Eye Colour: Light brown
Hometown: Shalon Town
Family: Wife (Miharu), Daughter (Minako), Son (Kichiro)
Occupation: Pokemon Researcher
Pros: Loyal, protective, kind, enthusiastic, dedicated
Cons: Obsessive, loud, paranoid, just kind of...nuts really xD
Likes: Supernatural phenomenon (UFOs and aliens especially) psychic and ghost type Pokemon, voodoo
Dislikes: Skeptics, "boring" things (aka normal things xD), snobs, Charles (Yukiko's father, major skeptic and snob xD)
Pokemon so far: N/A
Goal: To prove all his crazy theories. xD
Extra: Tamotsu is a pretty wild Pokemon researcher who's totally obsessed with supernatural stuff. He has many theories on UFOs, aliens and the like, all of which he is very eager to spread around. He's very loud and eccentric, and spends all of his time doing his "extremely important research"...so he tends to forget about everything else (hence why he looks like a caveman most of the time xD) He's very protective of his family, and loves them dearly. However he absolutely can't stand Charles, Yukiko's snobby rich father, who thinks Tamotsu is a total fruitcake with all his theories. They can't be in the same room together. xD Tamotsu also likes voodoo. He has a very well-pinned Charles doll, of course.
Due to his crazy behaviour, he isn't taken very seriously as a Pokemon researcher, unfortunately. He is actually very good at his job though. When he's not linking his findings to future alien invasions, that is.

My Naruto Fan Character

Riruko

Updated design (2013): [link]

Name: Riruko
Gender: Female
Affiliation: Village Hidden in Ruins
Hair: Blonde, short, scruffy
Eyes: Bright yellow
Info: Riruko was always a weird kid that didn't smile much or have many friends. As a 12 year old, she would awkwardly try to make friends and always end up as the annoying third wheel. She always appeared at the worst times. As an older teen, she is much more calm, and although not considered stupid or weird anymore by her peers, she's still a bit of a loner. She's also bit of a tomboy and is sometimes even mistaken for a boy, especially when she was younger.
Her main bond is with her adoptive father, who was never well liked in the village. He was a foreign man who was wrongly blamed for a big disaster that occured in the ruins. For a long time he was ridiculed and hated and had no one at all, until the tiny 6 year old Riruko became friends with him. She is very protective of him and always stood up for him as a kid, which got her a bad reputation as well. He ended up being killed when Riruko was about 13, by the villagers themselves, which caused her a lot of pain and she ended up running away from the village, despite the few friends she'd made.

//more info coming soon
