I USED TO TRUST THE MEDIA TO TELL ME THE TRUTH

Being born as the son of the two most influential people in the region had it's obvious perks. Simeon was left pining for very little in his life as Loros' second prince and lived his younger years in a state of ignorant bliss to the outside world; as any child would. Up until the age of three the comings and goings in his life were constant and familiar, his mind accustomed to the presences of his mother, father and older brother. His uncle less so. His father's brother didn't associate himself much with the youngest prince, seen as near enough useless to his endeavors. Understandable, since Simeon's status aside from prince was intended to act as right hand and confidant to his brother when he came of age and succeeded their father. A future he felt pleasant enough to look forward to if it meant being as content with life as he was at that moment.

Things were never that simple though. His hopes for a happy future were thwarted the night his brother was kidnapped by some unknown assailant. Leaving the kingdom in an uproar but with no success in finding the missing first prince. As time passed Simeon's distraught parents were left with no choice but to accept their eldest son's fate and pass the burden of succession onto Simeon. Which was the last thing he wanted. Soon enough the young prince found himself overwhelmed even more so with the lessons and expectations thrust upon him afterward. It was suffocating. At some point in a fit of childish rage he found himself cursing out his older brother for leaving him to suffer the looming responsibilities alone but was quick enough to berate himself.

Instead, Simeon begrudgingly began to conform into the image his parents held for him as best he could, yet still refused to accept being formally named emperor for as long as he was able. Seeing as his father was still in good health and he personally and selfishly wanted to hold onto what little freedom he had left before the inevitable arrived. Often times caught napping around the palace and sometimes shirking his assigned duties for who knew what else. On a lighter note he had gotten married and fathered a child and much as he disliked the thought of succeeding his father he would never have wished for what happened next. He almost thought it some sick joke of karma's that at twenty-eight years old and little to no reason to hold off his coronation any longer that the palace would be attacked.

The fire consumed the palace like some kind of possessed beast and the soldiers and guards found lifeless by alternate means; their own pokemon nowhere to be found. Still, the family of three somehow managed to find themselves together in the main hall that had yet to succumb to the blaze yet all other escape routes blocked. Their fate appeared sealed until Simeon's father hurriedly pushed him into the only guaranteed area of safety within the room. Baring the door to ensure he stayed there and refusing to open it despite his youngest son's pleas. Nursing his eye that had become injured in the disaster Simeon could do little else but listen to his parent's cries as they were burned alive. The wooden bar was weakened enough to allow him to open it with some force.By morning his childhood home had been reduced to ruin, the fate of his parents clear from the sight of their charred corpses but those of his wife and son unknown.

In the years that followed many things changed. On the morning that he awoke to see the remnants of his old life he wasn't about to wait around for whoever did it to come back and finish him off. What followed were countless days of laying low and not drawing attention to himself. When word reached his ears that it was his uncle who sat on the throne and took command of the region the pieces all seemed to fit together. And the oppression that followed caused him to be even more careful about his wanderings, especially with pokemon still being in his possession. The absolute seething hatred he felt toward the man that took everything from him was kept under lock and key, festering over time but there wasn't much he could do about it other than use what contacts he'd made over the years to keep tabs on the region's on-goings.

However, when word reached him of a group of protesters against the emperor's regime he found himself relieved that he wasn't alone in his views. He was intrigued enough to venture to Newhaven and witness the protests and the brutality of the man he loathed to share any relation with. The execution finalized his decision that something had to be done; and so he found himself among the ranks of Spectre. Even when a new emperor took the throne he held little hope for change; since the man had worked closely with his uncle. At present Simeon - now going by the name Malchai - finds himself one of the four commanders of Spectre's ranks and with nothing left to lose intends on kicking the usurpers off their high horse using what extensive knowledge he gained in his years as a crown prince; all the while keeping his true identity hidden. Wearing a grinning mask when he'd required to go out on raids.


Name Krieg
Species Houndoom
Gender Male
Ability Flash Fire
Moveset Flamethrower | Sludge Bomb | Crunch | Reversal
Origin A gift from his father as a child and is one of two brothers.
Personality Typically as calm and reserved as his trainer but can be vicious and unforgiving if crossed wrong. Krieg is Sim's closest companion and wouldn't think twice about betraying that loyalty he feels toward him. He's resolute and weary to those he's unfamiliar with, prizing his master's safety above his own and intent on stopping any more misfortune from befalling him. He shares Simeon's resentment toward the empire and the grief they've been put through.


Name Mirage
Species Flygon
Gender Female
Ability Levitate
Moveset Dragon Claw | Earthquake | Thunder Punch | Hyper Beam
Origin A happy birthday gift from his girlfriend and later wife.
Personality She was once a chipper and spirited young dragon. Those admirable traits have quelled considerably following the unfortunate series of events in her master's life but she makes it her mission to cheer Sim up whenever she can with her childish antics. On the flip side she stays true to her draconic heritage and displays a cool dismissal and hostile attitude toward anyone who isn't her trainer or considered close in his eyes.


Name Platina
Species Skarmory
Gender Female
Ability Keen Eye
Moveset Metal Claw | Air Cutter | Spikes | Pursuit
Origin Latest addition gifted upon gaining his commander rank.
Personality A manipulative and cunning bird who enjoys getting her own way. She's often at odds with the flygon of the group over who earns their trainer's affections the most despite there being no level to gauge such an assumption on. Preens often and it quite vain in terms of her appearance. She enjoys presenting her best shed feathers to Simeon for him to fashion into blades.


Name Orion / Oreo
Species Milotic
Gender Male
Ability Marvel Scale
Moveset Hypnosis | Ice Beam | Aqua Tail | Recover
Origin His son's feebas once upon a time.
Personality Currently the youngest of the group. As a feebas he spent most of his time with his masters son who continuously mispronounced his name to Oreo. Don't let the gentle appearance fool you. What used to be a doting, childish pokemon became a harsh and at times cold creature following the revelation of the boy's demise. He prefers to remain silent, even among his own kind, and gives little mercy in a fight unless instructed otherwise; using them as a means to vent his anger and frustration.
