Name: Amber
Gender: Female
Age: 18?
Species: Mewtwo Pokémorph
Appearance: Amber is a very strange pokémorph, with the appearance of a gijinka, standing at 5'9" and unwilling to actually show her pokemon features. However, silvery-purple hair and purple eyes aren't exactly common-place(among normal humans, at least), and her thick tail keeps moving underneath the long sundresses she normally wears. She hides her head nubs with a large, floppy sunhat, and tries her best to not gather too much attention. She keeps her hair long to hide the necktube connecting the base of her skull and her spine. Her skin is light, even with her attempts to tan, and circular scars can be seen on her back and sides.
Personality: Amber is very shy and doesn't speak often, though she has a lovely voice. Archimedes usually handles conversations and fields questions, for which she is very thankful. She is sweet and kind, trying her best to not upset others and be accepted, but gets antsy and nervous if others ask about what type of pokemon she is or where she's from. She does her best to not get angry, but gets REALLY upset if someone tries to harm her pokemon.
Amber has claustrophobia and a distinct fear of lab coats, though she only panics with the former. She also has issues with being restrained and doesn't like restrictive clothing. If she gets mad or scared enough, she loses control of her powers and lashes out, often leading in destruction until either her pokemon calm her down or she collapses. Her greatest desire is to know what she is, where she came from, and why she was created so she can have some sort of closure.
Romance is a mystery to her, so flirting usually goes unnoticed and innuendos fly over her head. It's harder for her to get attached to people, but she does want a normal life one day...Whatever that is.
History: Amber was created as Ξ(Xi) as part of the Ultimate Lifeform Project, the first clone with significant amounts Mew DNA(25%) that didn't die. While a Pokémorph, the closest species she resembles is a Gijinka, as she has few visible features of her modified Mew parts and looks mostly human. However, the scientists just cared that this one lived, not how it looked, so they put her in stasis, subjected her to painful tests, and created more clones with higher amounts of Mew DNA(and more pokemon features) until they created Mewtwo, the pinnacle of the project. With Mewtwo to focus on, Amber and the other clones were largely ignored, with life support systems keeping them barely alive and their psychic abilities dulled so they didn't cause trouble. Amber remembers whispers she could barely hear, blurry shadows with long coats and cold voices, and a masculine voice trying and failing to pierce through the fog that clouded her mind. She doesn't remember how long this lasted, but it felt like an eternity.
Then, an explosion. Her senses began coming to her; shattering glass, the life-giving fluid she was grown in rushing out, feeling tubes and wires ripped from her as she was forcefully pulled out, screaming and fire all around her, a blast of air and light, the smell of blood, sensing countless brain waves ending in an instant...It was a rude awakening. By the time she fully came to, the chaos was over; the final clone was gone, a helicopter could be faintly heard in the distance, and several others like her lay buried under rubble. Her own tube was destroyed, and has she been in it she would've been, too. She spent several minutes waking up, panicking, and trying to learn what she could do in order to go far, far away. She picked up some papers in her confusion, including one that bore the name 'Amber'(though the rest of the papers were numbers without reference and junk), and flew off in a direction; she didn't know where she was going, who she was, WHAT she was, where that place was, what happened...All she knew was that she was alive, and maybe something she had would help.
Flying over an ocean is tiring, but by a stroke of luck, Amber saw a cruise ship headed towards Johto, landed on the desk, and collapsed as the sailors and passengers came to check on her. She was dubbed 'Amber' based on the paper she clutched, though most passengers freaked out when they heard a little girl's voice in their heads when she tried to talk. An old couple didn't, though, as they had a psychic grandson who did the same thing. They offered to take the mysterious little girl in to liven up their empty nest, and she went to live with them near Mahogany Town.
Amber's life seemed to be picking up. Her adopted guardians did the best they could, but Amber retreated inwards every time they tried to learn more about her. They estimated her to be around 8 years old, though how old she actually was remained a mystery, even to her. She was taught how to read and write, learned to speak, and started to be homeshooled after public school didn't work out. However, tragedy struck again when she was 11, with both of them hit by a drunk driver coming home late at night. Her adopted brother offered to take her in with his family, but Amber ran off with her Slowpoke, fearing the same thing would happen to them.
They traveled around Johto first, learning and searching for answers wherever they went. Then Kanto, where Pokey evolved into Slowking and took a more active role in their life. Cinnabar Island seemed promising, but the burnt building there had no answers, either; Archimedes suspected someone stole what WAS there before they arrived, but Amber dismissed it. They went to Sinnoh for a bit, but got bored and left, then went to Hoenn for a while. She never stayed in one place for long, as someone would get curious about the newcomer and ask questions that had no answers. Kalos was a very lovely place, and where they picked up Marie as well, but the people there were even more curious than before!
By age 18, 7 years of wandering later, Amber and her partners ended up in Unova. They began wandering here, too, until Amber caught a glimpse of the show Mighty Morphin' Poké Rangers, which had a very peculiar actor as the main villain...Getting a hunch, Amber found his address online and wrote him a letter, enclosing a picture of herself and Marie(taken by Archimedes) and her phone number. A few days later, she got a VERY excited call from Jimmy and was invited over to chat and have tea and cookies. Amber went over, had tea and cookies, and was told about Jimmy's 'brother' Ivan, the Clefable pokemorph that created him. He would surely be able to help her out! She was given the address of his clinic in Sun City, all the way out in Tarot Islands, and set off immediately to try and get some answers.
Moves: Psystrike, Psychic, Shadow Ball, Protect
Ability: Pressure
Powers: As to be expected, Amber possesses great psychic power, and has telekinesis, telepathy, and the ability to control minds and wipe memories...Though she hasn't done the latter. She can fly via telekinesis, allow others to fly with her, and lift massive amounts of weight with her power. However, this does cause physical and mental strain, and should she push herself too hard she falls unconscious. Her strength increases during times of stress and anger, but her powers become less controllable or stable.
Pokemon Owned: 2

Name: Archimedes King, "Pokey"
Species: Slowking
Gender: Male
Moves: Heal Pulse, Power Gem, Psychic, Water Pulse
Ability: Own Tempo
Nature: Calm
Details: Archimedes was originally found as a Slowpoke near Mahogany Town, freshly tailless and mildly peeved about it. Amber found him still trying to fish, picked him up, and carried him off to give him food and water. He didn't really complain, and secretly misses the days Amber would carry him around like a doll. He evoved on accident when they were at the beach; a Shellder bit his head instead of his tail(it grew back) while he was floating in the water, and suddenly he was a Slowking. Since then he's become a caretaker and friend to Amber, getting them into and out of trouble and calming her when she's upset. He gained a bachelor's of science from an online program centered at Kanto University, but has had trouble going further due to the fact he is a pokemon. He can speak and read and earned top marks in both a GED program and his graduating class, but apparently Pokemon can't become pharmacy students. Fascists.
Name: Marie
Species: Spritzee
Gender: Female
Moves: Aromatherapy, Sweet Scent, Disable, Moonblast
Ability: Aroma Veil
Nature: Quiet
Details: Marie was actually recruited by Archimedes, who did extensive research to find the PERFECT service pokemon to help Amber when he couldn't. He settled on a Spritzee; small, cute, even-tempered, and known for being able to calm others with scents. The pair traveled to Kalos, found a breeder, and were able to get a Spritzee egg with Archimedes' qualifications. Marie hatched on the way to Unova and branded onto Amber, and she's been with her since. She tends to stay on Amber's shoulder and is smaller than normal; only 6" tall compared to 8", but it worked out for the best.
--- SAMPLE RP ---
The flames intensified, the smoke thickened, and a frail little girl struggled to free her leg from twisted metal. Dying screams and explosions filled her ears, and unknown life forces were snuffed out of her mind as they fell. A mess of tangled steel and concrete was piled beside her; bodies even more alien than hers could be glimpsed. Too late to help, had to make sure she didn't join them. Her powers surged and she ripped the metal off, scrambling and floating away. What happened? Where was she? Who was she? Who were they? What were they? Where was this? Why all this chaos? Why her? Why them? When-
-Amber? Amber! Wake up!-
The Pokémorph jolted up in the hotel bed, a cold sweat soaking her nightgown and her heart pounding in fear. The formerly neat hotel room was a wreck; loose objects scattered as if a wind had whipped them up, a chair and cot upturned, the decorative picture cracked on the floor...And a worried Slowking and Spritzee looking at her from the bedside. The Slowking sighed in relief as Amber woke, and the Spritzee on his shell flew to Amber's lap. Amber sheepishly pet the Spritzee, who released one of her favorite scents in response.
-Sorry.- -Don't be, you can't help it. We'll straighten up in the morning and pay for new glass for the painting. Did you have the dream again?- -...Yes.- -I thought so...We'll have Marie use the vanilla and sandalwood scent until you're fast asleep again, all right?- -All right. I'll need a few minutes, though. I really don't want to try sleeping again right now.- -I understand.-
Archimedes began picking up some of the knocked-over furniture, including the cot he had been sound asleep on until Amber's nightmare so rudely awakened him. At least it had been the first time in a long-
-Hey, Pokey?- -Yes, Amber?- -...Do you think Dr. Moon really knows what I am?- -I'm sure he does. And, even if he doesn't, we can just explore like we normally do. These islands seem like a lovely place, almost like Hoenn.- -Yeah...- -Now, once you're calm again, go back to sleep. We should be able to find the clinic tomorrow and meet this Dr. Moon, and you'll want to be well-rested.-
A few minutes later, Amber kissed Marie on the nose and got back under the covers, letting the Spritzee nest on the extra pillows. Archimedes finished straightening up and climbed back into his cot, sighing and rubbing his temples. Hopefully tomorrow worked out as well as he said it would...
