Cass

Background
The son of a wealthy (by Pokemon standards) family living in Unova, near the Pinwheel Forest/Nacrene City region. Cass has very little interest in exploring, adventure, or anything of that nature and would prefer to continue living under his family's wealth, studying at his leisure. While Cass is unable to read human writing, his family's status has allowed him to acquire various texts translated into Pokemon language, and subsequently large amounts of information in whatever subjects he feels inclined to pursue. Though he has no plans whatsoever towards the application of these studies, Cass is nevertheless proud of the knowledge he's accumulated and relishes any opportunity to flaunt his expertise.

Cass arrived in Ilaan against his wishes, as part of an exploration team consisting of himself, Jared, Lars, and Olga, an act by his father meant as a more than subtle push to remove him from his lax and complacent lifestyle. His bitterness over the situation combined with his inability to cope with or adapt to the sudden changes left Cass frustrated and increasingly resentful towards his father, who became the sole target of his ire.

Recent Information/Actions
Lacking any genuine social experience or desire to associate with the guild members, Cass remained aloof and dismissive towards the town's population, only attempting to reach out when he was approached by Quil and Kebi. While his interactions with Quil were short lived, Kebi, though only feigning his desire for friendship at the time learned of Cass' "predicament" and agreed to assist him in finding a way to resolve it. Having no real options or even a goal in mind, Cass opted to accompany Kebi on his excursions, if only because it was a way to (temporarily) escape from dealing with his situation. He became directly involved with the static phenomena when the party encountered Missingno. during their first trip to the Silph Lab ruins.

Cass has since continued assisting the group's efforts, and is one of the few pokemon in town Kebi appears to trust. He's come to terms with his "predicament", realizing (after speaking about it with Jared) that his father's intentions were only meant for his benefit. He seems quite eager to assist in exploration and investigation now - partially to outdo his father as an explorer, but mostly because he's beginning to gain a sense of responsibility.

Combat Notes
Far more at home when it comes to a verbal bout (and rather aggressive when involved in one) Cass tends to falter when things appear to be heading in a more physical direction, shedding his oftentimes haughty demeanor and becoming far more subdued and noncombative. Recent events have, however, given him a great deal of confidence in his combat prowess, and he seems to be approaching these situations with increasing fervor. Despite this, he still prefers an indirect role in battle, attacking from afar with thrown objects or other ranged attacks.
