Appearance:

Spoiler:

JOSIE HAS A VERY RELAXED APPEARANCE THAT REFLECTS THEIR DAYDREAMING SELF VERY WELL. LONG DULL GREEN HAIR, UNKEMPT AND OBVIOUSLY UNTOUCHED AFTER GETTING OUT OF BED. THEY SEEM CONTENT WITH THIS, AND RARELY THROW ON ANYTHING TO DECORATE THEIR HAIR BEYOND PERHAPS A LONG PONY TAIL. AS FOR CLOTHING, THEY CHOSE TO WEAR A YELLOW TURTLENECK AND A LARGE BLACK V-NECK SHIRT WORN AS A DRESS. THEY ALSO WEAR BLACK LEGGINGS AND BROWN FLIP FLOPS. THEY APPEAR TO WEAR WHAT SEEMS TO BE LEATHER OR ROPE AS A NECKLACE TIED IN KNOTS. THEIR THEIR SKIN IS PALE, RARELY TOUCHED BY THE SUNLIGHT. EYES ARE GREYISH-GREEN, DARK AND VACANT IN THEIR STARE ON THE SOFT FACE OF JOSIE. THE CHIN IS POINTED, THE CURVE OF THEIR LIPS BENEATH THE SMALL, POINTED NOSE. THEY KEEP THEIR FINGERNAILS AND TOENAILS CUT SHORT, AND DO NOT USE NAIL POLISH.

Spoiler:

WHILE DRESSING AS NAZE, THEIR ENTIRE BODY IS COVERED IN WHITE BANDAGES, HEAD TO TOE WRAPPED UP ASIDE FROM THEIR EYES, WHICH ARE COVERED BY A THIN BLACK FABRIC THAT THEY CAN SEE THROUGH. THEY WEAR A BROWN KNEE-LENGTH CLOCK AND A FLOWER SCARF AROUND THEIR NECK. THE SCARF APPEARS TO BE YELLOW WITH PIKNISH-RED FLOWERS DETAILING IT. THE HOOD ITSELF AS TWO EAR-LIKE PARTS TO IT. THE EDGES OF THE SCARF ARE TORN, AS WELL AS THE BOTTOM OF THE CLOAK AND ARM SLOTS APPEAR TORN. IF ONE WERE TO PEEL AWAY THE BANDAGES IT WOULD REVEAL THE BARE FLESH OF NAZE.




Personality:

                        .:NEUTRAL EVIL:.

JOSIE IS A PERSON WHO APPEARS TO BE IN A CONSISTENT STATE OF NEVER SLEEPING ENOUGH. THEY ARE VERY GENTLE AND PASSIVE, BUT DOES NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO STEP OVER THEM AS IF THEY WERE A PUSHOVER. THOUGH CAREFREE AND GENERALLY RELAXED WITH THEIR SURROUNDINGS, WHEN PROMPTED JOSIE CAN AND WILL ACT, WHETHER ON THE BASIS THAT THEY CAN ASSIST SOMEONE OR THEY INPUT IS WANTED. THEY MAY NOT AGREE WITH INTERFERING WITH BUSINESS THAT ISN'T THEIRS, BUT THEY WILL OFTEN QUICKLY FORM A BOND WITH OTHERS WHEN THEY MAKES THEIR BUSINESS THEIRS. THEY COME OFF AS A RATHER NEUTRAL PERSON HOWEVER IN ARGUMENTS, OFTEN CHOOSING TO STAY OUT OF IT. NEVER TAKE THIS AS SUBMISSIVE, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT JOSIE IS MAKING A DECISION ON THE ISSUE OR SIMPLY DOES NOT HAVE AN INVESTMENT IN GETTING INVOLVE AT THAT MOMENT. HOWEVER THEY ARE VERY DIPLOMATIC ABOUT COMING TO A CONCLUSION THAT SHOWS COMPROMISE TO EVERY SIDE INVOLVED AND PRIDES THEMSELF ON KEEPING WHATEVER FRAGILE PEACE THEY CAN. THEY LIKE TO SPEND THEIR FREE TIME DAYDREAMING AND THINKING ABSOLUTELY RANDOM THOUGHTS. SUCH EXAMPLES ARE WHETHER POKEMON ACTIVELY IMAGINE RULING THE WORLD AND IF THEIR WAS AN OFFICAL OUTFIT FOR GYM LEADERS. THEY OFTEN FIND THESE HILARIOUS AND NOTING TO OTHERS THEY WEREN'T PAYING ATTENTION BECAUSE "THEY HAD SOMETHING BETTER TO THINK ABOUT...." AND PRODUCES A RATHER SMUG SMILE BEFORE CONTINUING ON WITH EVERYTHING AS IF IT WERE NORMAL. JOSIE SEEMS ENTERTAINED AT THE IDEA OF PARTICIPATING IN CONTESTS, BUT HAS STAGE FRIGHT DUE TO THEIR ANXIETY. THUS JOSIE SIMPLY RESOLVED TO WATCH CONTESTS AND SEE THE SKILL OF POKEMON AND COORDINATOR WORKING TOGETHER. JOSIE HAS TERRIBLE ANXIETY, SOMETHING SHE FREQUENTLY VOICES WHEN PLACED IN AN UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION. THOUGH JOSIE SEEMS TO BE MOSTLY UNAFFECTED BY THIS, THEY FIND THAT PERFORMING IN FRONT OF LARGE CROWDS OF PEOPLE PLACES THEM IN A SORT OF POSITION WHERE THEY BEGIN TO HYPERVENTILATE AND BREAK DOWN, NOT WANTING TO BE THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEY CANNOT BE AROUND CROWDS HOWEVER, THEY SIMPLY DO NOT WISH TO BE THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION AND THUS HAVE EVERYONE FOCUSING ON THEM.JOSIE IS ALSO SOMEWHAT OF A MUSIC ENTHOUSIAST. THEY LOVE TO LISTEN TO MUSIC OF ANY KIND, AND DANCE ALONG WITH IT OR EVEN SING WITH THE BEAT. THEY HAVE NO STRONG PREFERENCES AND DESPISES PEOPLE WHO BRAND ONE KIND OF MUSIC SUPERIOR TO ANOTHER. JOSIE TAUGHT THEMSELVES
HOW TO PLAY SEVERAL INSTRUMENTS, SUCH AS THE GUITAR, BASS, DRUM, CELLO, PIANO AND FLUTE. JOSIE HOWEVER CERTAINLY FAVOURS THE FLUTE AS THEIR FAVOURITE MUSICAL INSTRUMENT AND DEMONSTRATES A INCREDIBLE DISPLAY OF KNOWLEDGE IN REGARDS TO THE FLUTE. THEY DO NOT LIKE PLAYING THE FLUTE IN FRONT OF OTHERS, STATING THAT THEY ARE MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE SIMPLY LISTENING AND UNWINDING. SHE CLAIMS TO HAVE LITTLE INTEREST IN POKEMON AND DOES NOT VISIBLY HAVE ANY POKEBALLS ON HER.

AS NAZE, THEY ARE RATHER PECULIAR AND CHILDLIKE. VERY PERCEPTIVE AND SHOWING OPEN AFFECTION FOR THOSE AROUND THEM THAT THEY CARE ABOUT, ALONG WITH CONCERN FOR THEM AS WELL. THEIR PERCEPTIVE NATURE NOT ONLY COMES FROM BEING ABLE TO READ PEOPLE AND DIFFEREINTIATE EMOTIONS AND EXPRESSIONS, BUT ALSO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE AN AURA TRAINER. NAZE FREQUENTLY DISPLAYS THEIR TALENT FOR AURA, UTILIZING IT TO READ PEOPLE AND POKEMON, INTERACT WITH THEIR SURROUNDINGS AND POWER TECHNOLOGY THAT IS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION WITH AURA. NAZE IS ALSO A GENIUS, FREQUENTLY SHOWING THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND APPLYING IT. NAZE IS ALSO RATHER WISE AND SOMEWHAT OF A PHILOPHER, THOUGH A RATHER DARK AND DREARY ONE WITH MUCH DISDAIN FOR THOSE WHO WOULD INTERRUPT THEIR PLANS. NAZE FREQUENTS THE USAGE OF THEIR AURA ABILITIES FOR SIMPLE, MUNDANE THINGS THAT WOULD NOT REQUIRE SUCH. THOUGH AN IN-DEPTH LOOK AT NAZE WOULD SUGGEST NOTHING OTHER THAN A PERSON WRAPPED IN BANDAGES WEARING A CLOAK. OFTEN THEY WILL STARE AT PEOPLE, SEEKING ONLY TO CAUSE THEM GREAT DISCOMFORT OR EVEN DESCRIBE IN DETAIL JUST WHAT CAN BE DONE TO A HUMAN BODY. THERE IS LITTLE RESTRAIN WITH NAZE WHEN THEY INTEND TO CAUSE DISTRESS AND DISCOMFORT TO SOMEONE AROUND THEM NO MATTER HOW WELL THEY KNOW THAT INDIVIDUAL. THOUGH NAZE DOES HAVE RESTRAINT FOR THOSE THEY RESPECT, ONLY EVER BELITTLING THEM AND TEASING THEM INSTEAD OF DOWNRIGHT TRYING TO RUIN THEIR ENJOYMENT. THOUGHT THEY MAY DISPLAY RESTRAINT, THEY WILL NOT HESITATE TO KNOCK SOMEONE DOWN A PEG IF SUCH IS REQUIRED.

ON A SIDE NOTE, NAZE/JOSIE IS INFATUATED WITH tsukino tsubasa AND HOLDS him WITH HIGH ESTEEN. THOUGH THEY EDGE ON A RATHER CREEPY OBSESSION OVER tsubasa, THEY RESPECT his BOUNDARIES AND MAINTAINS A DISTANCE WHEN REQUESTED. THIS ALSO MEANS THAT THEY ARE RATHER DEFENSIVE OF tsubasa, ALMOST LIKE A MOTHER-FIGURE TO A CHILD. THEY CAN BECOME AGITATED EASILY IF SOMEONE DOES NOT SHOW him RESPECT AND KINDNESS.

Battle Style:
JOSIE DOES NOT PARTICIPATE IN POKEMON BATTLE, THUS NAZE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH A BATTLE STYLE. NAZE DEVIATES FROM THREE DISTINCT STYLES OF BATTLE. THE FIRST STYLE IS WHERE NAZE PLAYS WITH THEIR OPPONENT, TOYS WITH THEM AND ENJOYS THE SLOW PACE OF A BATTLE THAT IS AFFECTED BY STATUS CONDITIONS AND MOVES THAT CONTROL THE EBB AND FLOW OF THE BATTLE. NAZE RARELY HURRIES A FIGHT ALONG WHILE UTILIZING THIS STYLE OF BATTLE, AS THERE IS NO POINT IN RUSHING SOMETHING MEANT TO BE ENJOYED LIKE A WIN WHERE YOU WEAR YOUR OPPONENT DOWN TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

NAZE'S SECOND BATTLE STYLE INVOLVES THE TYPICAL PLAY IT BY EAR AND ROLL WITH WHAT HAPPENS. THOUGH PERCEPTIVE, THAT DOES NOT GUARANTEE NAZE'S POKEMON WILL ALWAYS KEEP UP OF COURSE. THIS IS NAZE'S LEAST FAVOURITE STRATEGY, BUT THE ONE THEY FIND THEMSELVES USING FREQUENTLY TO COMBAT THE GENERAL POPULACE OF TRAINERS. THEY WILL LOOK TO COUNTER AND TURN EVERY MOVE BY THE OPPONENT INTO A GRAVE ERROR AND MISTAKE THAT COSTS THEM THE ENTIRE BATTLE, NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT WAS.

THE FINAL STYLE OF BATTLE NAZE FINDS THEMSELVES USING IS TO STRIKE FAST AND STRIKE FIRST. THIS STRATEGY FAVOURS POKEMON THAT NAZE OWNS WHICH ARE NATURALLY FAST AND CAN DELIVER DEVASTATING BLOWS TO THE ENEMY IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, OVERPOWERING THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE SIMPLY THE FASTER PARTY.


Past Experience / History:
BORN AND RAISED IN OPELUCID CITY AS JOSIE, THE THIRDBORD CHILD TO THE LECLERC FAMILY. THE LECLERC FAMILY HAD A WEALTH OF HISTORY AND WEALTH AT THEIR FINGERTIPS, AND KEPT THEIR HANDS INVOLVED IN CLEAN BUSINESS. THEY WERE KNOWN FOR LOOKING AFTER THEIR EMPLOYEES AND THUS, GENERALLY HAD A GOOD NAME. JOSIE, AS THE THIRD CHILD WOULD NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSABILITIES TO HER FAMILY AND FREQUENTLY AS SHE GREW UP SPENDING TIME AROUND OPELUCID SHE FOUND HERSELF DAYDREAMING AND WONDERING WHY PEOPLE ONLY RAN ABOUT LIVING THEIR LIVES BLISSFULLY IGNORANT ABOUT THE DANGERS AROUND THEM. THAT EVERY CORNER HAD EVEN THE SMALLEST CHANCE TO END THEIR EXISTENCE. ABOUT POKEMON AND WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF THEY WERE THE TRAINERS OF HUMANS. ABOUT ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO FLINCH AND QUESTION THESE THOUGHTS INSTEAD OF WANTING TO ENTERTAIN THEM AND PLAY WITH THEM. WHILE NOT AROUND OPELUCID CITY AND RESTING AT HER FAMILY MANOR, SHE SPENT HER TIME LEARNING VARIOUS MUSICAL INTRUMENTS, SPECIFICALLY HER FAVOURITE THE FLUTE. JOSIE REFERRED TO HERSELF AS FEMININE, AND STUDIED PSYCHOLOGY AND THE HUMAN BODY.

JOSIE WAS FASCINATED BY THE HUMAN BODY AND FOUND HERSELF QUESTIONING HERSELF AND WHO SHE WAS. WHETHER 'JOSIE' WAS JUST THE FLESH THAT 'NAZE' WORE, AND SLOWLY BUT SURELY DEVELOPED JOSIE AND NAZE, SEPERATE EGOS OF THEIRS THAT JOSIE COULD USE. JOSIE ALSO BEGAN USING GENDER NEUTRAL PRONOUNS AND INDENTIFYING AS NONBINARY. AS THEY CONTINUED THEIR STUDIES AND DEVELOPED FURTHER, THEY ALSO GREW INFATUATED WITH A YOUNG BOY NAMED tsubasa tsukino, WHOM ALSO RESIDED IN OPELUCID. THEY WOULD FIND THEMSELVES OBSERVING him, TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY THEY WERE SO CURIOUS ABOUT him. WHY THEY DESIRED his COMPANIONSHIP. COMPANY. THOUGH THEY WERE YOUNG, THEY KNEW WELL WHAT THEY WANTED. TO KNOW EVERY INCH OF him, TO REMEMER his SCENT. his TASTE. THEY FREQUENTLY FOLLOWED him AND DEDICATED THEIR TIME TO LEARNING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ABOUT him. FOLLOWING him AND WATCHING him LEAD JOSIE TO DISCOVER THEIR ABILITY TO MANIPULATE AURA. THEY USED THIS POWER TO EXTEND THEIR KNOWLEDGE ON him.

EVENTUALLY THEY DISCOVERED HOW he FELT. his DESIRES, EVERYTHING he AIMED TO ACHEIVE. THEY FELT EVERYTHING. FELT THE ORDER THAT he DESIRED TO CREATE. THE CONTROL he WANTED TO HAVE OVER THE WORLD. UNDERSTOOD THE CHAOS he COULD SEE. WEPT TEARS FOR his PAIN. THEY SWORE THEY WOULD HELP him, FOR he INSPIRES THEM TO BRING AN END TO THE DISHARMONY OF THE WORLD. THUS THEY PRACTICED THEIR AURA, THEIR PERSONALITY AS NAZE GROWING DREADFULLY DARK AND USING JOSIE AS A SIMPLE DISGUISE TO MAKE APPEARANCES IN OPEN AREAS WHERE NAZE WOULDN'T BE ACCEPTABLE. JOSIE BECOME A TOOL FOR NAZE TO USE, AS NAZE AND JOSIE NO LONGER KNEW WHICH PERSONALITY WAS REAL. DEDICATED TO FINDING A WAY TO APPROACH him, NAZE SET OFF AS JOSIE TO QUOTE ON QUOTE EXPERIENCE THE WORLD BEFORE SHE DECIDED TO SETTLE DOWN.

AS THEY TRAVELED, NAZE EVENTUALLY BEFRIENDED A DRIFLOON AND CAPTURED IT, BONDING WITH IT AND COMING TO A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING. THOUGH THEY WERE FRIENDS, NAZE KNEW THEY WOULD STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO TOGETHER AND PLANNED TO STAY WITH DRIFLOON AS LONG AS POSSIBLE AND ENJOY HIS FAITH AND FRIENDSHIP. JOINED NOW BY DRIFLOON, NAZE CONTINUED TRACKING AND FOLLOWING tsubasa, WITH THE INTENT TO JOIN AND SERVE him ETERNALLY. THEY CONTINUED FORWARD, FOLLOWING THE TRAIL OF tsubasa tsukino, STOPPING ONLY WHEN THEY REQUIRED SOMETHING THAT ONLY JOSIE COULD OBTAIN FOR THEM. THOUGH THE TRAIL SOMETIMES WENT COLD, THERE WERE OTHER TIMES THE TRAIL GAVE SURPRISES, SUCH AS SABLEYE. SABLEYE MET NAZE AND DRIFLOON AS THEY TOOK SHELTER IN HIS CAVE, FORCING THEM INTO A BATTLE THAT SABLEYE DID NOT WIN. NAZE CAUGHT SABLEYE AFTER SPENDING THE NIGHT INSIDE THE CAVE, LEARNING TO SMILE AT HIS PRANKS.

THEY LATER CAME ACROSS A LONE ZORUA. THE POKEMON TOOK A LIKING TO NAZE, AS THEY TOOK A LIKE TO THE POKEMON. THEY BONDED QUICKLY OVER MIRRORRING EACH OTHERS MOVEMENTS WHENEVER ZORUA WOULD TRANSFORM INTO ZORUA. NAZE THUS INVITED ZORUA TO JOIN THEM IN FINDING him. THOUGH HE TOOK SOME COAXING, THE ILLUSION POKEMON AGREED TO COME ALONG, INTENT ON MERELY ENJOYING NAZE'S ATTENTION AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. AS NAZE TRAVELLED, WORD OF A STRANGE FIGURE WEARING BANDAGES AND A CLOAK SPREAD. THEY REALIZED SOMEONE HAD SPOTTED THEM AND BELIEVED THAT THEY WERE A SUSPICIOUS PERSON. THEY ONLY WANTED TO FIND him. TO HELP him. TO SEE him. SOONER OR LATER, THEY KNEW WHERE THEY WOULD FIND him. tsubasa tsukino. THE man THEY WISH TO HELP.
