▶ Name: Una'mi
▶ Gender: Male
▶ Species: Eevee
▶ Ability: Adaptability 
▶ Moveset: Refresh | Bite | Helping Hand | Take down |
▶ Description: (Height) 6'0ft / 182cm | (Weight) 65kg / 145lbs |
Clothes → _{Una'mi dons a thick, brown waterproof tracksuit (with paw sleeves) which is convenient for any occasion, whether it be missions, travelling or more often, providing very soft bedding for any ground or surface. In addition, he wears a bark brown vest adorned with faux-Eevee fur, along with leather gloves and sheep-skin boots. This ensemble is tied together with two leather belts strapped on his waist and across his chest, which is also used to securely strap his shield onto his back (easily removed with a seat-belt buckle located on his lower back).}
Habits → _{Una'mi tends to take long, slow strides when he walks, a habit he's developed especially for Runa due to her walking patterns constantly becoming reduced to small shuffles whenever they're in public. His arms are never by his side as he is always either scratching his head or fiddling with items or his clothing.
His voice often carries a very lazy tone as one would have after taking a nap, carrying a constant speed even during a fight.}
▶ Personality: (Nature) Bold | (Characteristic) Takes plenty of siestas |
Una'mi is a pretty calm and laid-back person, unfazed in even the most dire of situations. He prefers taking long naps on sunny days, doing it in the most unconventional places, whether it be in the dirt floor outside, or a boulder in the middle of a dungeon. He's very absent-minded and this often makes him a target for enemies during expeditions. However, due to his high endurance and his large shield, these surprise attacks often leaves him unscathed. Despite this, he is surprisingly quick to react and is swift to unbuckle his shield to attack with ease. The only thing that would yield a reaction from him is his hunger, as he becomes like a giant baby and begins wailing and raging. Fortunately, this often happens during a long mission, which becomes useful as he ends up speeding up and destroying everything in his path to complete their job and eat. Despite not really caring for anything, he is protective of Runa, making her safety his first priority, and the two are always seen together. He often comments on, what he calls her "bodacious body", always making her distract male enemies so that he can ambush them, although these attempts usually fail, to his annoyance. -Una'mi: *sigh* I keep telling her: This is why I keep saying we should get TM45 cause Attract would really help... _{but she doesn't want to.}-

▷ Name: Runartemis (Runa, for short)
▷ Gender: Female
▷ Species: Mudkip
▷ Ability: Torrent 
▷ Moveset: Water Gun | Mudslap | Foresight | Mudsport |
▷Description: (Height) 5'4 ft/162 cm | (Weight) n/a |
Clothes→ _{Runa sports a light blue swimsuit as her main body of clothing with shorts underneath as she enjoys the silkiness of the nylon against her skin, both in the water and on land and finds it easier to move in. Embarrassed of exposing her body too much, she tries to cover her arms and legs with a long-sleeved cardigan and an opaque silk skirt she secures with a seashell broach. She usually doesn't wear any shoes because her feet (and hands) tend to sweat a lot, enabling her to become adept in the water quicker so she finds it more convenient and less restricting if shes's just stays barefoot 24/7.}
Habits→ _{Runa tends to do more of a shuffle when she walks in public, retaining a hunched back and always having her eyes lowered in order to avoid making eye contact with anyone. Even when she's with Una'mi, she'll revert to this stance whenever there are strangers in sight. However, during other times, she normally walks with a light bounce in her step.
She has a very high-pitched, yet soothing voice, best compared to a music box: melodic and rhythmic, although this is rarely heard as she tends to stutter when she's nervous around strangers which is most of the time.}
▷ Personality: (Nature) Modest | (Characteristic) Likes to relax |
Runa is naturally a very peaceful and happy person although when she's surrounded by strangers, she is often very jittery and easily stressed out. She enjoys dancing and swimming in her free time, representative of her gentle nature and spends most of her time reading and making notes of anything she discovers. However, her curiosity for new adventures and new discoveries overshadow her fear of strangers and death as she is often found straying away from Una'mi in dungeons, bouncing from corner to corner as she inspects every rock, plant and liquid the dungeon has to offer, completely ignorant of the enemies lying in wait. She tends to carry back random samples to study and writes down her notes in a leather book she keeps in the shanty, a topic she enthusiastically discusses with Una'mi, becoming highly talkative and spouting everything that comes into her mind. Una'mi tends to merely listen to as he is unable to understand or get a word in half the time.

 Combat:  
▶ Una'mi →  Samurott Shield ➸ A shield forged by father, using the shell armour/seamitars of a Samurott mixed with steel to enhance it's structure. He uses the shield both for defense and offence. Using the spikes of the top to attack, he waits for the enemy to tire and lower their guard before ramming his enemies head on with Take Down. 
▷ Runa → Water Manipulation ➸ She is able to manipulate the shape and density of water, forming it into a a solid object that she throws at her enemies. However, she can only control the shape to be as big as a ball the size of her hand and even then, can only exert her body a small amount. She tends to avoid using water from her surroundings, instead measuring her limits using a vial she keeps on her that stores either water or mud in, depending on the mission. In order to save her energy, she tends to form smaller weapons such as needles, which she quickly form and throw in quick bursts, rather than taking them to create bigger balls of water, saving them for larger and stronger enemies. So far she is only able to fill the bottle, which is the size of head, halfway as it is her limit before becoming extremely fatigued, although she is training on being able to increase it.

Like their namesake, they fight together using the bait and switch tactic: Either Una'mi will guard with his shield, defending Runa while allowing her to attack from their blindspot. This will allow her to ambush the enemy, and also, gives a chance for Una'mi to tag-team after she strikes. Runa's water needles also allow her to distract the enemy giving Una'mi time to charge them. Or... when facing a large enemy, Una'mi will force Runa to try and seduce the enemy -Runa: *cries*- distracting them while Una'mi finds a place where he can land a critical hit on them.

 Backstory:  On a stormy night where the thunder crashed and lightning striked, a lone Samurott and baby Mudkip enter a small cave for shelter from the rain.
→ Within the cave was a single lone Pokemon egg, with nothing else in sight. The egg was small with cracked lines, showing signs of the Pokemon inside was due to hatch. The Samurott decided to stay in the cave, tending to the egg and keeping it warm. When it finally hatched, out popped a baby Eevee, doe eyed and full of wonder.
→ Becoming attached to the young Pokemon, the Samurott brought him back to his forge where he worked as a veteran blacksmith. He decided to raise the Eevee, naming him Una'mi, after the violent crashing of the sea it had survived. Along with the Mudkip, Runartemis, another orphan that the Samurott found, he raised the two as his own, feeding them, caring for them and loving them as any parent would. 
→ Una'mi struggled in his first years, especially being in a family where they were all unrelated. He often ran off, yelling obscenities at Runa and the Samurott for kidnapping him. That all changed when the Samurott saved him from a rogue Tyranitar, breaking his shell armour in the process. That was when Una'mi realised the true meaning of family and apologised to the Samurott, promising never to betray his 'family' ever again. 
→ It was after this that Una'mi became the unfazed, lazy, carefree character he is today. He often spent his days walking around town while the Samurott, his father, spent the days forging new weapons and armour for adventurers. Runa on the other hand, spent all her time reading books from the library, often needing Una'mi to come with her to return and get new books because she was scared of speaking to the librarian. Relying on Una'mi throughout the years lead Runa to become the dependant and shy person she was today.
→ The two grew up listening to stories of excitement and adventure from their father, whom often reminisce on the olden days of how he worked hard to save money to open the blacksmith, hunting down rogue Pokemon, discovering new treasures and enjoying travelling with his teammates. Runa loved the stories and wanted to go on adventures of her own someday and their father encouraged them, telling Una'mi to help his sister along.
→ The two agreed and on the day of their departure, their father forged a shield as a present for Una'mi, enforcing it with steel to strengthen its properties. To Una'mi's surprise, he used the shells that broke from when he protected Una'mi from that Tyranitar years ago, which had since grew back. 
→ After a heartfelt goodbye, the two set off towards their adventure, promising to come back alive so that they can tell their father of their adventures and stories.

---

 Other Information: 
→ They both enjoy meditating together, to which Runa contemplated on calling their team 'Zen' at one point.
→ Una'mi often gives Runa piggyback rides, he mainly does it so as not to waste time walking.
→  Despite seeming like Una'mi is in charge, he actually follows and does whatever missions and exploring that Runa wants to do.
→ Una'mi wants to become a Vaporeon, a water-type like his father.
