Description
EDITS: Round 3 - Added SydneyName: John Doe
Age: estimated 46
Height/Weight: 5'8" | 210 lbs.
Hometown/Region: ??? | Hoenn?
Job title / Status: Janitor
Extra items: An old novel dug out of the trash, a peace of “golden” thread, a lighter, a mop, a bucket, an old lantern (also dug out of the trash), and a wallet with a new ID and medical card with contact information in case he gets lost or lapses into one of his “episodes.”

Personality: Bit of a spook, like the Boo Radley of the camp. Likes to read and reread the old book he keeps at his quarters. Tends to mutter to himself while mopping. Has a nervous habit of flicking his lighter on and off when waiting somewhere with dim lighting due to fear of the dark. Tends to flip out at certain triggers: darkness, loud banging sounds, and certain species of Pokémon. Also has an aversion to guns as if he doesn’t know they don’t work anymore. Will often stop an innocent passerby like the sailor from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and spew a random tale about some superstition he remembered. Doesn’t care if people leave messes in front of him; he’ll just continue mopping up the blood and barf like usual. Is oblivious to the point that he doesn’t realize a war is currently going on.
Species that scare the crap out of him (and how he refers to them):
● Swablu and Altaria – Sirens (sing songs of deeaatthh; a sailor’s worst nightmare)
● Absol – Banshees (same as above, although they signal death, not cause it; still scary as hell)
● Houndour, Houndoom, Poochyena, and Mightyena (tale varies by region, Johto and Hoenn respectively, but still wary of both to make sure) - Black Dog (signals death when it appears, might even cause it; some say they guard the underworld)
● Spheal, Sealeo, and Walrein – Selkies (the females steal men’s hearts, the males beat the crap and kill said men)
● Seal and Dewgong – Mermaids (they will steal your heart, then DROWN you)
● Pichu and Pikachu (yet oddly not Raichu) – Fairies (they’ll swap your children with their own and possibly eat them)
● Drowzee and Hypno (especially when they wear hats) – Alps (will crush you and plague you with horrible nightmares)
● Pidgeot or any similarly large bird - Harpies (will first steal your food, then steal YOU)
● More to be added as he remembers them...
He also jumps whenever someone refers to Averys Haye as "Harpy," expecting some large bird of prey to come sweeping down and carry someone off.

Backstory: He doesn't seem to know who or where he is, hence the name "John Doe.” The Johto military found him rummaging through some of their trash and arrested him thinking he was a spy trying to dig up information. They couldn’t find an ID or any records from Johto, but after interrogating him, dropped all charges that he was a Kanto spy. All they knew for sure was that he had no home or occupation and he was not that together in the mental department. They figured he was a veteran of the Great War since some of his outbursts and triggers resembled PTSD, so instead of sending him off to fend for himself on the streets, they put him to good use as a janitor. Hey, best case scenario is that he regains his memories and uses his awesome veteran knowledge to win the war. And if he doesn’t? Well, at least the camp has cheap labor cleaning up the joint.

Given his knowledge of some Hoenn folklore and the fact he has no native Johto ID, the military has assumed John is from Hoenn. At the very least, it is easier justification on paper than having someone from Kanto or its allies acting as a janitor who sometimes cleans areas containing classified information. The fact he is oblivious and mentally unstable clears any threat that he could be a spy. Of course, he does cause some hysteria when he accidentally throws out someone’s secret stash of porn, but he has proven very good at his job, just as long as no one causes him to flip out. Otherwise they might find a mop swung at their face.

Pokémon:

Lucie | Litwick | Quiet Nature | Flame Body | Female
Found in a crate of Unovan candles, Lucie was swiftly “recruited” into the Johto military. The only problem was her small size; she was six inches tall including her flame, which was below average for Litwick. The military wasn’t sure if it was because she was relatively young or if she was a runt, so, fearing the worst, she was retired before she could even begin to fight. The military found a secondary use for her, though, as a companion for the absent-minded and slightly disturbing John Doe. He was afraid of the dark, she was a candle that never burnt out, it was a win-win. Not only was someone else now tasked with taking care of Lucie, but there would hopefully be fewer occurrences of John flipping out.

Lucie is often carried in a large, old lantern when John makes his rounds and cleans at night. Otherwise she acts as a mini incinerator whenever he needs to get rid of paper trash he found like someone's secret stash of porn. While quiet and well-mannered in front of humans, Lucie is actually a conniving and evil little thing, constantly trying to take John to the Ghost World. Unfortunately he is too oblivious (or insane) to actually follow her into one of the portals. Somehow he always escapes her grasp, and without even knowing it. One day, Mr. Doe. One day...

Sydney | Lucario | Adamant Nature | Inner Focus | Male
Raised as a Riolu, Sydney evolved under the care of his soldier after sharing an inseparable bond. It was like the two had the same aura, simultaneously growing stronger and gaining experience in combat. Then, during the battle at Undella Bay, Sydney’s soldier was KIA, and the Lucario was reassigned. Unfortunately, he did not take the reassignment lightly and refused a new partner until he was demoted to janitorial work.

John received Sydney as a “bribe” after some nosy reporters inquired about military paychecks. Exposing the fact that the janitor doesn’t get paid would not bode well, and since Sydney was proving useless as a fighter, the higher ups decided to kill two birds with one stone (yet again) and pair John and Syd together. One drawback is that Sydney’s Metal Sound creates loud banging noises, one of Mr. Smith’s triggers. Johto’s janitorial staff is just growing more and more violent…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My End Run characters are still, like, twice my age or something. What is this, I don't even...

I haven't seen any janitors, and I want an excuse to draw Johto peeps, so heerree'ss Johnny! At first he was going to be just a homeless man with a Trubbish, but I fell in love with Litwick and, after some revision, John became a mix of Scruffy the Janitor, Dr. Manette, and Daniel of Mayfair. :'D

I also wanted a better medium for those Pokémon fables because I see Roxy being interested in only the Viridian/Kanto ones. Pfft, why should she care about stories cooked up by those accursed Jays?

And contrast, you are the bane of my existence. Fffffffffffff >:U
