As a Hex Maniac/Exorcist, most people often view Violet as strange and off putting.

-Ghost Hunter: Reckless[Minor]

Not only is Violet a trained exorcist, but she also loves Ghosts. Thus if she thinks she has the chance to see and meet new spirits she will charge head first into the opportunity.

-Cursed: Unlucky(2/session EKANS EYES)[Major]

Growing up around Ghosts and spending all her time around Ghosts has caused a Curse to fall onto Violet. Whether the curse was intentional or not is unknown because Violet herself is unaware that she has been cursed.

Background: Violet is an Exorcist (often called a Hex Maniac) from Lavender Town in the Kanto Region. While she has spent all of her life tending to the graves inside Lavender Tower, she does not want to spend her entire life there. This is why Violet has decided to head off into the world and attempt the Pokémon League Gym Challenge. Besides, there are other fascinating Ghosts out in the big wide world that she is eager to make friends with.

Author's Notes: I came up with the last name my mixing up the words Plantagenet(which is a real last name) & poltergeist. Feu is just French for Fire.

So, WHY am I even considering starting another PokeyManz Character when I already have Bell? I'll be honest, I made Bell TOO competent. I created her like a serious well made character I would play in a Serious Game. But since she is a serious character she wins, things go her way, she doesn't act like an idiot, and she avoids getting into awkward situations.

Violet and Feu are far less optimized

For one she does not have the "I Choose You" Edge which is just BROKEN! I also decided to NOT give her "Type Specialist(Ghost)" even though it would make sense. We are NOT trying to make an optimized character here. In the future I will give her "Move Tutor", which is good. But again not as OP as "I Choose You" or getting "Trump Card". Martial Artist and Supernatural Power are not bad, but they are as much if not more for Role play then actual usefulness.

Another big part of this will be the Hinderances. Bad Reputation will give her a -2 to some social rolls, Unlucky means that some failed rolls will be treated as EKANS EYES (a Critical Failure for you D&D players) and thus have more severe consequences. Consequences which can be used for fun results. The Reckless Hinderance will be an excuse for her to go into situations without being careful.

Feu is also less optimized. For one he doesn't have the boost from "I Choose You". He also doesn't have the Ability Flash Fire which would make him IMMUNE to fire moves! Infiltrator might be situationally useful, but it honestly isn't an OP ability. I considered using something like Gastly or Misdreavus, Gastly is Gen 1 and Misdreavus is Gen 2. But they have Levitate which makes them immune to Ground Moves & they naturally learn a lot of Psychic moves which are good in Kanto. Meanwhile Litwick is part fire which will make it weak to all of the ground and rock types in Kanto.

Litwick also naturally learns Imprison. Now why would it knowing Imprison be important? Because Violet is a Ghost Hunter, and this is technically a TTRPG, not just a video game. As such every move has applications beyond just what it can do in battle. Cut is not the only move that can "Cut" things, you don't need "Flash" specifically to create light in a dark area, etc.

So I imagine Imprison being useful as an out of combat move to IMPRISON Ghosts. Violet IS a Ghost Hunter/Exorcist after all. Hex also has similar out of combat uses. I imagine Violet being able to place Hexs onto people. She IS a Hex Maniac after all. While the Ability Infiltrator isn't as OP as Levitate in combat. Out of Combat I see it as allowing Litwick to sneak into places, aka infiltrate.

Besides, just look at them! They're adorable!
