#npcs.

A reference guide for npcs that may be addressed by Clive in canon verse threads. This list will probably expand as I continue the game. In alternate verses, these characters may still be relevant, but I will be sure to explain their affiliations to Clive as they come up.

stationed in kanto, studio artist of the battle studio: kanon. ace pokémon: smeargle. one of the first recruits. the battle studio is located along route 14, a facility that functions as a massive canvas, materials & mediums strewn along the battlefield which is stripped of paint after each challenger after she's cataloged the aftermath. the rest of the facility is caked in layers of art material.

stationed in kanto, ring host of the battle ring: sota. ace pokémon: lopunny. recruited while the frontier was an active work in progress. the battle ring is located along route 5, styled after an old-school boxing arena, edges of the battlefield bordered by elastic rope. spectators are invited to watch the match as though it were a real boxing match, with paper tickets available at entry for pay-what-you-want.

stationed in johto, park ranger of the battle park: tatsuo. ace pokémon: shiftry. recruited while the frontier was an active work in progress, a retired top ranger who now patrols only the park area. the battle park is located along route 31 & is also an actual reserve that can be accessed by anyone, but it has a section cleared out for the purposes of battle, largely as a recreational spot for trainers passing through.

stationed in johto, stage conductor of the battle stage: yachiyo. ace pokémon: clefable. one of the first recruits. the battle stage is located in goldenrod, on the opposite side of town as the gym. yachiyo part-times as a conductor for a local orchestra, hosts rehearsals in the battle stage, & has the musicians go into the grandstands when challengers come. she times her attacks to be on rhythm with the orchestra & changes the tempo of her conduction to match the pace of battle.

stationed in johto, dock angler of the battle dock: shingo. ace pokémon: cloyster. one of the first recruits. the dock is located along route 40 & is primarily a fishing dock rather than a boating one. battle happens across the dock, disused boats, & floating supports. the challenger has a choice between a standard 3v3 or a 1v1 with himself & challenger fishing out the pokémon they're going to use in battle.

every single moment in andie eliot's life on earth-64 goes exactly as we know it to: she is born on january 19th, her parents die when she is 7 and she moves in with her uncle tommy; at 17 she gets bitten by a radioactive spider and a few weeks later she saves her classmate and crush romeo dixon from danger; together, they create the lovebug identity for her.

the lovebug of eath-64 combats corruption, destruction, and villainy in new york using pacifism, aided by her powers and romeo's advice as her guy-in-the-chair. but it isn't easy work. andie may hope and believe with all her heart, but she struggles to convince people to see the world through her eyes. lovebug fails in her mission more than she succeeds, but she never stops trying. and it's not got anything to do with her specifically. it's just—hard.

until andie eliot stumbles through a portal and lands in her world. andie eliot—from earth 616, she learns—is as bright as the sun. she shines so bright that andie can barely look at her 616-counterpart. why lovebug has always struggled so much makes sense now: andie lacks the spark. whatever spark it is that makes the other andie glow, this one doesn't have it.

she can't find anything in her life... they compare timelines, and everything else that they can think of and it all lines up exactly the same. she is just a plain jane. average. falls short.

it doesn't mean she stops trying. | pin board!

dr. julian reza – surgeon / former er resident brilliant but burned out,  julian was once a rising star in a top-tier hospital before he was quietly ousted for treating a known vigilante.  now he’s a reluctant partner in the hollow,  more comfortable with a scalpel than people.  he questions the moral ambiguity of their clients but never walks away from a life that can still be saved.  camille "cam" duarte – nurse / triage specialist calm under pressure  &  always one step ahead,  cam runs point when patients are rushed through the doors.  she has a sharp intuition for who’s bleeding out  &  who’s lying. formerly a pediatric icu nurse,  cam left the public system after losing one too many kids to bureaucratic red tape.  she’s the grounding force in the hollow,  offering both clinical expertise  &  a steady hand to patients  &  staff alike.

still, they're a little like romeo and juliet, growing up in such different lives and holding such different roles under the same roof. their friendship is quite furtive (though at the same time not as furtive as it possibly "should" be since sybil is all too free with disregard for class divides). tom falls first, and when sybil goes to nursing school at the start of the war he asks her to marry him. a request that she turns down. this isn't the end of their friendship, when she returns from school she's working out of downton abbey and being a nurse there puts her and tom on slightly more equal footing, or at least allows more opportunities for them to engage with one another. (also, again, because sybil doesn't really care if she's not supposed to.)

sybil falls kind of in spite of herself: she is terribly loving and open and romantic, but also not ready to give up the life she has or her home at downton. tom doesn't stop asking, and won't leave downton until she agrees to marry him. which they do; after the war.

the end of world war i is a great lurch that brings forward momentum to a lot of changes in england and is the start of the fall of this very lofty estate life that the crawleys exist in, so to sybil it is finally her moment where she can be free and she is finally ready to leave home.

in the end marriage involves both tom and sybil giving up the lives that they had in order to be with each other. sybil initially moves to ireland with tom to live a much quieter life than she would have ever had at downton, though one she loves, and then after her death tom stays at downton and becomes very involved, living a life far grander than he ever wanted for himself and in support of a system that he had staunchly objected to before he met sybil.
