Just because images aren't required in order to make a character, that doesn't mean that they're not useful! With that in mind, we've made this space to provide portraits to players to help them get a feel for their existing characters or inspire new ones. We'll periodically add more, so if you're feeling the itch for a new OC, check back later to see what's in stock.

Please note though! All portraits will be held on a one week delay for newbies only to allow new players to have a good chance to snag anything that inspires them.

So, how do you claim one? It's simple - fill out the partial character application indicating the portrait you're interested in claiming! Claims will not be first come first served; staff will use the following points to decide who to assign portraits to should multiple people be interested in a single one:
  • Number of characters player has
  • Whether the character fits in the world
  • Whether the character seems thought out
  • Whether the character fits a unique niche in the shop

The following will not be considered:
  • How "good" your writing is
  • Typos
  • Grammatical errors
There is no set time that staff will take in order to look at forms; it might be fifteen minutes or up to a full week. We will look at least once a week, barring illness or injury however!

Note: Staff are allowed to apply for characters! They will not be involved in the judging of their own applications, because that would be cheating.

Portrait Codename: Thaw
Character Name: Wynmond Collins
Pronoun Choice: He/Him
Age: 24
Home Region: Johto

Personality Overview: A horror-loving writer who once preferred the indoors of his home and office over the great beyond, Wynmond surprised everyone the day he packed his bags and volunteered for the Nauwill experience. He’s not a social creature, recoiling from social gatherings and other people in favor of a good book or personal one-on-one with his Pokemon and often referring to others as an anomaly. He’s perpetually tired from his insomniac tendencies and countless nights spent writing scripts he’ll eventually toss into the trash, relying solely on coffee and adrenaline to keep him going. He’s been called stiff, heartless, and cold due to his inability to immediately connect with other humans, which is far from the truth; he feels strongly for those he’s connected to and often has a tender heart, he’s just excellent at internalizing all his feelings and festering anxiety instead. Wynmond can come off as decisive and unfettered, but he’s just good at masking the numerous doubts, fears, and insecurities he has lingering in the back of his head (and fairly impulsive once overwhelmed), choosing instead to exhibit himself as unbothered with a still face that usually melts into an absolute worry when others aren’t looking. Wynmond finds himself drawn to those more honest with themselves and willing to express their true feelings to others, although they also annoy him in the same breath.

Mini History: Wynmond was always the kid in the corner, avoiding others his age in favor of writing stories in his journal or rushing home to help at his mother’s Pokemon daycare. People weren’t as interesting as the stories in his head or the Pokemon he tended to, but he also felt alien next to them – like he didn’t fit in, or wasn’t human enough. He lost his eyesight in his left eye as a small child due to ignoring his mother’s warnings and peering too closely at the egg of the family Sneasel, who in turn took his eyesight as retribution. The daycare shut down immediately after the controversy, which he blamed himself for and further locked himself into the world of words and stories. He walked through life half present and half praying someday he could get the tales in his head onto paper, drifting through the rituals of life until, suddenly, a paper floated to his feet while returning home from work. His family was stunned when not even a month later he had packed his bags and left to join something greater.

look I'm impressed at your ability to stretch six sentences so far, but also accepting this app! I hope Wynmond gets a chance to make some great memories and maybe open up a little in Nauwill <3

This portrait is yours!

Portrait Codename: Certain
Character Name: Eulalio Demetriou Florakis (Piporrio as nickname)
Pronoun Choice: he/they
Age: 18
Home Region: Unova

Personality Overview:
Living in the so-called city of art, Eulalio is drawn to making or pranking. Each piece he completes tries to tell a new story or shed light on an old tale. He's a soft-spoken and gentle soul, nobody ever suspects he's the one pulling outrageous tricks on trainers passing through. He'd never do something to hurt people, but inconveniencing is a whole nother ball game; salt exchanged for sugar, switching around pokeballs, even hiding bags inside other bags. Once he's had his secret laugh, he happily lends a helping hand to right the wrongs or "find" lost things.

Mini History:
Born and raised in Nacrene City in the Unova region, Eulalio spent numerous hours traipsing the Pinwheel Forest. His ma always told him he fit in perfectly with the cottonees she owned to make fabric from so he couldn't help exploring the woods to search for them. He'd pretend he was one of the whimsicotts and pull pranks on unsuspecting people passing through. With an entire new island to explore, who knew what people would find. With new muses to find and new people to prank, it's no wonder he had to pack up the moment he heard about the awaiting adventure.

Portrait Codename: Scratch
Character Name: Hazel Acer
Pronoun Choice: She/Her/They
Age: 26
Home Region: Hoenn

Personality Overview: Hazel is a hard worker! She often gets sucked into her work and neglects her basic needs. She loves nature and the outdoors, even though somethings give her the willies, like certain bug-type Pokemon, but it'll never know unless you see her usually calm disposition go stiff.

Mini History: She was raised by her grandfather, who taught her about living in the wild and working with nature and the creatures that inhabit it. She took a liking to woodworking and trees that produce apricorns. Even though modern pokeballs are made differently, Hazel has a firm believe that, "You need to know where you've been in order to move forward." With the passing of her Grandfather, Hazel set out to to expand her skills and knowledge by heading to Nauwill! She hoping with her skills she can help create a safe space for researchers while only using the natural supplies necessary, while making sure the natural inhabitants of the area are happy as well.

Portrait Codename: Party
Character Name: Victoria 'Vi' Shian
Pronoun Choice: She/Her
Age: 25
Home Region: Hoenn

Personality Overview: Vi looks like a party girl, and partly she is, in the crash the local artist showing for free food and occasional booze and staying up late to help smooze for funding to keep the research site open sort of way. She wants to study pokemon behavior, now give her money while you stare at her cleavage so she can continue to do so, yeah, she knows she smoking and not against using everything she got to get that funding. She is dedicated to her work and willing to step on a few people. She is a relaxed conservationist, easy to talk to and yeah, she going to manipulate a few people into better lodgings.

Mini History: Vi grew up in Rustboro city in Hoenn since she was very young she just fell in love with pokemon, she wanted to study learn everything about them. While her family wasn't the most supportive, wanting her to get a actual job, they let her do what she wanted since her brothers were taking over the company. She could always get a real job when this ultimately failed, was their thoughts. She threw herself into her studies, talking to other students and seeking out trainers to learn how they pick up what their pokemon is communicating and out in the wild and ranches to watch behavior and changes. Nawhil was her choice, and her grad advisor but she is onboard every step of the way.

Portrait Codename: Confidence
Character Name: Jun Ito
Pronoun Choice: He/Him
Age: 23
Home Region: Johto

Personality Overview: While he seems to always have some sort of answer to something, Jun is far less confident than he actually portrays himself. He's still bumbling through life, discovering himself and the world around him, even if he holds his head up high while doing so. He loves the company of others and genuinely is a warm and compassionate soul who has an outstanding amount of patience, likely due to his own understanding of how hard it is to people sometimes. He's a quick learner and, when not overly stressed, retains information easily, although he can be overly confident in his own ability when he has enough "winning" strides and eventually find himself making mistakes in the process, which in turn humbles him immediately. Jun is a self-sacrificing softie who has and will continue to get hurt for others, but he never regrets doing so -- he wants to be the help others may have never received, or the kindness they deserve. Jun is also entirely smitten with cute and soft things, as he's been deprived of them up until his recent Nauwill adventures.

Mini History: Jun comes from a strict household that valued appearance and education more than anything, including their own family. It was hard enough finding recognization within the family due to his own adoption, something he found himself struggling to overcome and, later, serving to destroy his sense of worth for several years to come. Jun did his best to be the perfect son, studying harder than any other child within the family and pushing himself to extremes that continued to accelerate in severity, until suddenly... it became too much. He began to choke on the stress, failing classes and stumbling with any task handed to him, which were many. He didn't feel like he had a choice in who he was or what he'd become, instead swallowed up by the expectations of a family that had once wanted him so desperately but now viewed him as an extension of themselves. While, by the time he became 23, he began to understand himself more, Jun still took the first chance he could to leave the estate and search for his own purpose; maybe then he could be the child they were proud of.
