Steve

Screen Name: Steve Nagillim

Real Name: Aaron J. Milligan

Status: Player

Age: 18

Location: Brisbane, Australia

Height: 5'10

Weight: 45kg

Hair: Brown

Eyes: Green


Description: The unofficial leader of the PoKeMoN Topaz group, Steve is usually a cheerful,
 intelligent guy. Although prone to bouts of self-doubt and cynicism, he always looks out for his
friends and their best interests. While he doesn't know as much about PoKeMoN as Bryan, his
common sense and good luck usually pull him through. Steve is plagued by extreme, constant
coincidences, or 'contrivance'. He looks down on cheaters, loves doing good and being altruistic,
and is a total sucker for a cute girl.

Steve has been affected by DemonicChocobo's 'Babelfish' hack, allowing him to
talk to and understand PoKeMoN's native language as if it was plain English.

Current PoKéMoN team:

"Raltsy" the Ralts
"Poe" the Murkrow

First appeared: Strip #1 - The VRC.


 

Screen Name: Bryan McAdams

Real Name: Tyson Davey
 
Status: Player

Age: 18

Location: Brisbane, Australia

Height: 6'2

Weight: 80kg

Hair: Black (Brown in real life)

Eyes: Blue


Description: The second-in-command of the PoKeMoN Topaz group and Steve's best friend. Seen more as
a 'sidekick' than anything, Bryan plays the amoral ying to Steve's altruistic yang. Since he has a very
obsessive personality, Bryan has spent far too much time gaming over the years instead of socializing, and
sees the VRC as a way to immerse himself in the game world like never before...as well as get away with a hell
of a lot of shit. Bryan is far more into the game than Steve, and this means he has little time for getting
to know the other players. Very easily tempted, Steve has to constantly stop Bryan from doing bad things.

Current PoKeMoN team:

Tyrogue

First Appeared: Strip #1 - The VRC.

Description: An NPC in the PoKeMoN Topaz game, Fiona is cheerful, but slightly insecure.
She is prone to crushes, and can act upon them strangely. Fiona finds it very easy to
get along with other girls, but finds it difficult to just befriend guys.
As of yet, nothing is known about why Fiona acts so human-like, despite being
an NPC. Excellent programming, or something else?

Description: A friend Steve and Bryan made through the game, who has since
joined their group. A self-professed ladies man, Marklar plays the game to have fun and
meet girls in equal parts. A happy, boisterous guy, he has no problem making friends and
going with them on crazy adventures. Since he has had the PoKeMoN Topaz game for a while
longer than Steve and Bryan, Marklar has been to a lot more places and knows a lot more people.

 easygoing guy in other matters. He aspires to be a great PoKeMoN trainer
and to eventually become the PoKeMoN Champion.

Description: One of the major NPC's in the PoKeMoN Topaz game, May
joined Steve and Bryan after Steve saved her and her father, Professor Birch, from
a pack of rabid Poochyena. A very cheerful - almost to the point of a naivety - girl,
May just wants to get out into the world and make as many friends as she can. While
interested in training, she much prefers taking care of her PoKeMoN than making them
battle. She currently has a crush on Marklar.
