Well here we are, Meet Team Blackout! My application to join I am REALLY proud of this form, how Riolu and Axew turned out, I just love it Oh and FYI, Riolu is getting ready to use Sky Uppercut, and Axew is getting ready to use dragon claw. Also, i hope that Riolu's scarf is acceptable, I mean it's still a scarf, just a different style to Axew's.

Team Info

Team Name: Team Blackout
Rank: Pikachu
Guild: Rescuers
Team leader: Serenade (Riolu)
Backup: Thanatos (Axew)
Theme Song: Let's Kick it up - [link]

How they met: Serenade met Thanatos when he saved her from a rampaging salamence that attacked her. Serenade had saved the Salamences eggs when a rock slide threatened to crush them. Salamence mistook her saving the eggs as her stealing them. She attacked her, nearly killing Serenade. Thanatos, upon walking past the situation, intervened. Using his dragon claws to fend off the salamence, and explain to her that it was all a mistake. he then went on to heal Serenade. they both parted ways after thanking each other and after a few years, Thanatos found himself close to death, when a gang of Gabite attacked him. Serenade saved his life, stating that she did it because it was right and that she owed him one. Thanatos felt eternally in her debt, and decided to stick with Serenade as her body guard. He decided to take the role as back up without hesitation, as he felt his short temper would perhaps cloud his perception. Where as Serenade always saw what was the right thing to do.

Serenade Info

Name: Serenade
Species: Riolu
Gender: Female
Nature: Calm
Trait: Alert To Sounds
Age: Equivalent to a 16 year old Human (dunno what that is in pokemon years)
Colour: Normal (non-shiny)
Moves: Sky Uppercut, Earthquake, Blaze Kick, Crunch
Theme Song: Stand In The Rain - Superchick [link]
Personal Quotes: "Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."
"The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream."
"There is no evil or good in this world, just difference of opinion."
"My theory has always been, that if we are to dream, the flatteries of hope are as cheap, and pleasanter, than the gloom of despair."
"Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment."

Personality: Serenade is a very quiet pokemon, even though it's still a riolu, she is a very proud creature and is extremely loyal to her friends. Unlike other Riolu however, she also seems to have a natural sense of justice. Usually, Riolu's are playful and energetic and only acquire this sense of justic upon evolving. She rarely shows her emotion, staying the same in pretty much any situation. She always has a serious expression on her face, although occassionally she will show her happiness to Thanatos. She doesn't really tell anyone her problems, not her major ones anyway. She holds all her emotion inside and doesn't really give any time to just cry for she fears if she cries even a little, she won't be able to stop. In her eyes, to show how she really felt would be to destroy her whole persona.
Serenade is the leader of Team Blackout, she is strong willed, and doesn't give up easily. Unlike her partner in the team, she can control her temper. And rarely makes any move without analysing the situation. Serenade does her best to keep those close to her safe from harm, and will do anything to protect her friends.
She can be perceived as rude considering she rarely shows any emotion toward anyone. This is believed to be a result of her harsh past. The memories of what happened to her parents haunt her to this very day, however barely anybody knows what actually happened to cause her to be so stand-offish. Although, nobody is sure. She can be seen as a bit of a loner, often lost in her own thoughts. But never the less, she is very in tune with her surroundings, able to detect even a tiny change in emotion in the air she can feel. This makes her an excellent companion for Thanatos, because she can detect when he is about to get angry and flip. She is extremely clever, and wise, considering her age.

Thanatos Info

Name: Thanatos
Species: Axew
Gender: Male
Nature: Bold
Trait: Quick tempered
Age: Equivelant to a 17 year old Human (dunno what that is in pokemon years)
Colour: Shiny
Moves: Dragon Claw, Hone Claws, Night Slash, X-scissor.
Theme Song: Unbeatable - David Rofle [link]
Personal Quotes: "You think you'll win, but soon you'll see. You may beat some, but you can't beat me!"
"If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize."
"I am who I am, your opinion is neither desired nor required."
"Sorry, I'm allergic to bullshit."
"I don't have an attitude problem, you have a problem with my attitude. That's your problem, not mine..."
"To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence."

Personality: Thanatos is a very short tempered pokemon. If he is angered, he will not fail in showing just how angry he is. He is extremely strong, especially when angered, and often makes rash decisions base don his emotions. Unlike Serenade, Thanatos's emotions are clearly shown. Unlike most Axew, Thanatos isn't very friendly, he is very violent a lot like his evolved form. He won't hesitate to attack if he feels threatened. He is a very proud creature, with little respect for the rules or laws. Sometimes Serenade wonders why he wanted to become a rescuer, and not a rogue. Unlike Serenade, he doesn't naturally think of the right thing to do. he often does what best suits him,not what is the right thing to do. Serenade keeps him in the right though, although slackening her control over him when she feels it's necessary to bend the rules.
As aggressive as he is, he is loyal to pokemon he trusts, and will not fail in staying loyal to his friends. Thanatos would put his life on the line to save Serenade, and anyone else he feels close to, though there are very few he trusts. He is very arrogant which sometimes gets the better of him, sometimes leading to him getting way in over his head when it comes to battling. Thinking he is "unbeatable" as it were. He won't hesitate to boast about his winnings and sheer physical power he possesses. Coupled with this, is his foul and brash language. Often resulting in both swearing and extremely aggressive statements. He can be quite brutal to talk to, he doesn't really think about what he's gonna say, especially when enraged.
He often does most of the talking in the team, Serenade tends to stay out of confrontations, Thanatos is the speaker. When fighting he will mock and try to anger the foe. Especially if the foes is particularly boring/weak.
