Description
Name: Frederick Victor Von Finkelstein
Age: 28
Birthday: 08/02/1994 / August 2nd
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Height: 6 Foot Even
Residence: Tirtouga Town
Personality: Frederick is a bit of a wild card when it comes to his personality, sometimes he can be off the wall zany and excited, while other times he can appear more somber and reserved, but it’s all part of the same man that he is. He can be surprisingly childish as well, he may come off as a weirdo calling himself an evil villain, but he’s mostly just eccentric and a bit out there. Unfortunately he can be a bit thoughtless and scatterbrained at times when he gets too into his own work, he forgets to eat and even sleep occasionally leaving people completely in the dark. While he is incredibly intelligent he sometimes gives himself too much credit. His ego can be his biggest downfall when he misses a calculation or overlooks a key detail.
Exceptionally intelligent, he can figure out just about any electronic device placed in front of him, and if he’s never seen it before give him some time and he’ll have it taken apart and put back in working order before your eyes. While he may act like something of a loner most of the time, he can be friendly and personable once he’s warmed to someone, although this can take differing amounts of time for different people. Sometimes he finds a kindred soul and makes fast friends, other times it could be literal years before he even remembers your name.

History:
Born in Motostoke in the Galar region via donor to Mary and Shelley Finkelstein, Frederick was always something of an odd child. While other children enjoyed running around and playing outside with their Pokemon, Frederick was much more interested in learning about technology and the way things worked. A lot of the time stuff ended up broken and unusable, but rarely the things he did to devices made them work harder or more smoothly. It was safe to say the boy had a sort of talent for gadgets and gizmos, a talent that would only grow more prominent with time and effort.
His father, the donor who went by the name Boris Adamson, was a friend of the family that ran a small business where he came across many rundown and broken items. He would often give these to the young Frederick, much to his mothers’ chagrin. As for why they used a donor; Shelley was not very trusting of the relatively new magical technology that allowed for same sex couples to conceive on their own. Boris would have been in the child’s life regardless and would have spoiled him just the same; once again to his mothers’ chagrin. Still, even with a room full of weird devices and broken junk, theirs was a happy home. The small Magnemite occasionally dealt with bullies in his youth, but otherwise had a rather uneventful young life, excluding one thing; a show that became very important to the young man: a series about teenagers with attitude fighting against a campy and usually inept force of evil called “Futuristic Fighting Freedom Force”.
Strangely the child did not get attached to the main characters as he found them dull, and boring, but the foes of the 4-F Squad, now they were interesting! Known simply as the Forces of EVIL within the show (with the acronym of EVIL never spelled out, guess they never thought that through). Simple naming conventions aside they sparked a fascination within the child, he wanted to become a flashy and dramatic villain just like them. He even had birthdays themed not after the heroes but the villains due to his love! A lot of the local children at first thought he was a bit of a weirdo, but given his love of playing the bad guy during playtime at school, they soon accepted him into their gang, as it made it easier for them to play their favorite heroes after all.
High school was a different story for the young man, as he had become a lot more of a loner due to the others not wanting to run around and play heroes and villains like they once had. The lad still had his aspirations though and often found himself the butt of many a joke because of it. Frederick would find himself accosted by those who didn’t see eye to eye with him; it was at this point in his life that he fought back, he did so by using the strange devices he came up with. After one such incident left his would-be foe with a shiny bald head and a few embarrassing marks on his face, the young man moved from bullies to dealing with the officers of the law, he ended up in custody but due to his age he wasn’t officially arrested. He knew who he had to call.
It was his father who bailed him out and promised not to snitch to his mothers, but also made the young shiny promise not to use his tech so willy nilly. Frederick was quick to agree, but was not entirely honest with the man; there would be many other times to be sure. Although his mothers never did learn about his altercations, they did see the strange and interesting devices he came up with. They urged him to go on to college to really spread his wings (so to speak) and learn even more. Knowing he couldn’t get by with only the knowhow he’d picked up from tinkering, he had to gain real experience, and he was quick to agree with them.
His three parents pooled the money they could and sent him to a well respected university in Wyndon, alongside several small scholarships he had earned. Once there he hit the books and went for a double major, focusing on engineering as well as programming, these were skills he would need in order to make his gadgets all the better and less prone to blowing up in his face. During this time he continued working on various items and prototypes for his master plans, in this aspect Frederick never really grew up, he was still that child playing heroes and villains. He would become the best villain he could, whatever that meant; as not even the Magneton entirely knew what he was doing, just that it made him happy.
This however marked a bit of a low point in the life of Frederick, even after graduating he wasn’t having much luck finding work. There weren’t many people out there looking to hire a mad scientist (except for those Teams that seemed to crop up in every region but they were too nutty even for him), Frederick found himself at an impasse, as he didn’t know what to do, so for a while he crashed back at his parents’ place in Motostoke. While living with them he tended to work small odd jobs here and there for money as well as take the occasional art commission, all the while still working on his projects in the background. A few years (and quite a few prototypes) later he was out of college and getting desperate for a solid income, as such he did something he has deeply regretted to this day, something that would change his life forever...
He created a waifu gacha game that... somehow got supremely popular online?!
T3ch Gurlz, a game about collecting cute anime girls based on electronics and appliances that do clothing destroying combat with one another (with tasteful beams of light to cover any naughty bits; those cost extra). This game found a fanbase and then some thanks to the character designs and it’s over the top story, and to this day Frederick has no idea how it happened. It was like it came to him in a dream, or more likely a nightmare, as even as the game was raking in cash, it hurt him to make a game like this. He may have considered himself an evil genius, but he did have standards.
All the same, with the money he made thanks to the game, he was able to buy himself a little house and a small business in a remote island village in the middle of nowhere. While this decision seemed out of the blue to his parents, it was the exact right move in his mind. He could really start working on experiments out in a remote place like that, he could even start making a name for himself as a big time baddy outside of his dayjob where he would just be a mild mannered shopkeep (like that would last long).
Pokémon: Shiny Magneton
Trait: Basic
Reference: sta.sh/0q98rqhpmvq
His fingers and toes are covered in a metallic coating that makes his skin feel a lot tougher to the touch in those places. His finger and toenails can be made magnetic at will. His nipples resemble a pair of screws, and are in fact made of metal.
Nature: Quirky / Thoroughly cunning
Ability: Analytic - Taking his time to visualize whatever is in front of him Freddy can focus more clearly on what he’s working on and make the proper repairs or placement of parts in order to make something properly. In combat it also causes his attacks to hit harder so long as he’s the last one to make a move, likely due to him studying his foes for weak points.
Moveset:
Magnet Rise - Channeling his inner Master of Magnet, Frederick uses his innate electromagnetic powers to lift anything metallic in nature. It helps the wimpy doctor move his heavier items. He can also use it to lift himself into the air to fly around in order to get around.
Teleport - Powered by an old TM30 he found in a garage sale, the mad scientist has created a teleportation belt that he can use to go anywhere he can visualize although he mostly uses it to return to his home or his store. Without a clear visual he cannot teleport somewhere so he keeps it within the limits of the town. While he can teleport within the range of the whole island chain, doing so is dangerous and thus would only be used in an emergency.
Tri Attack - Channeling his powers through his ray gun Frederick can fire different elements (electricity, fire, or ice) or even all three at once. He can also use the different elements for useful party trick-like effects. (Cooling a drink, lighting a candle, etc.)
Charge Beam - Focusing only on his internal electrical power Frederick can fire an even more powerful electric beam from his ray gun. The more he uses it the stronger it can become.
