Jennifer Harsdorff

A young woman who loves adventure, parties, and making friends. While she's no stranger to combat, she prefers to wage war through her trusted Pokemon partners.

0 · 3,422 views · located in Ridgecrest City

a character in “The Multiverse”, originally authored by RolePlayGateway, as played by LawOfTheLand

Inventory

A multipurpose device, equipped with the full encyclopedia of Pokémon, that no Pokémon Trainer should be without!

Description

Jennifer prefers to dress in the manner of one that is ready for anything, or failing that, is quickly adaptable should unforeseen circumstances befall her. There's no telling what she'll choose to wear on her brutally muscled 5 foot 4 frame on any given day, but observation will reveal that she has a tendency to don outfits that straddle the boundary between style and function, particularly during the spring and fall seasons. A favorite accessory is a forest green windbreaker jacket to go with her similarly hued irises. Her blond hair is usually kept short to stay out of the way during hard work and weight lifting.

Personality

Battle theme: Determined Eyes (ZXA Tunes)

Jennifer is always looking for an excuse to travel to previously unseen lands, though the actual motive may vary: Finding a way "home", looking for treasure, and exterminating threats to the status quo people of her persuasion need to function effectively are all possibilities, though just as often it's on a whim.

She has chosen to stick with the tried and true approach of leveling one's Pokémon and using items instead of the revolutionary new practice of "bonding," deeming it unreliable (thus allowing challengers to have more of a chance than they should have) and dangerously close to the ideals of Neo Team Plasma...once a crook, always a crook. Having recently left Terra behind to pursue the latest innovations and insights into the art and science of Pokémon battling on Ruula, she's more eager to learn something about how to battle more effectively than winning the battle, all other things being equal.

Her training regimen seems extremely unorthodox, involving several forms of heavy labor, until one takes into account her belief that Trainers should strive to improve themselves just as they would with any of their Pokémon. In her mind, if you don't want to make yourself stronger, there's no point in trying to make others stronger--you will only come off as a hypocrite. This extends to the belief that the strength of a Pokémon is an illusion--it is merely a reflection of the strength of its trainer's spirit. Having buns of steel is a nice side effect, too.

Equipment

Jennifer is almost never seen without her Pokémon-related paraphernalia, including various restoratives and power-ups for the trusted companions as well as the latest in gadgets developed with the Trainer in mind, and of course, the six precious spheres that allow her to pass as "just another tourist" when they are hidden under a coat in much the same fashion as one might conceal a more traditional weapon such as a gun or sword.

Her Pokémon are never definitively lined up, though she prefers to test the strength of a challenger's spirit with only two or three Pokémon per side to limit the damage done to the opponent's party while allowing strategy to hold its own against lucky matchups. Some of her options include the following:

Bastiodon "Castle" : Main lead. Sturdy body and high defenses ensure it always gets off at least one move. Its pitiful offenses means that this one move is usually something that messes with the foe's strategy. If the opponent is similarly inclined or tries to set up, it can deliver a powerful earthquake, ram them with its massive head, or even bounce a foe's attack back into them. Like a certain mascot, it travels by her side, looking like some kind of pug dog. Years of picking it up and cradling her baby during the smaller and lighter Shieldon days inspired her to take up weight lifting so she could still do it--and she can with a little help.

Aggron: The bruiser of the bunch. Impressive muscle powers even more impressive attacks with which to throw around its incredible weight, crushing weaker mons without a second thought and leaving dents in those that do manage to withstand its powerful blows.

Scizor: It's not that this member of the team is particularly versatile, it's just that what he does is applicable in a lot of situations. Possession of one of the most potent priority attacks in existence combined with a natural affinity for the move U-Turn and the ability to take a hit if need be makes him an incredibly valuable asset.

Ferrothorn: Everyone appreciates having a teammate that can take a hit for them. Ferrothorn is that teammate. He's no slouch on the offense either, dishing out painful Gyro Balls and Power Whips, healing itself at the foe's expense with Leech Seed, even getting immediate payback against foes that get close with his Iron Barbs.

Lucario: Nobody likes having their friend go down in the heat of battle. Lucario makes sure that this slight is repaid in kind, being able to attack both up close and from afar, always having a damn good tool for the job of making the foe pay for scoring a knockout.

Krabby: Caught during a catching demo. Trade fodder or surf HM slave? Hmm...

There's also usually a couple of Full Restores set aside for quick fixes during battle, but never more than two per fight.

History

While having a degree in automobile collision repair may look good on a resumé, the old chestnut goes that nobody wishes they'd spent more time at work when they're on their deathbed. To this end, Jennifer is full of tales where her "work hard, play hard" approach to life has gotten her into close scrapes, but the fact that she's alive after so many misadventures speaks for itself, at least in her mind.

So begins...

Jennifer Harsdorff slumped in her chair. She knew she had to get up and aggressively gather information, but she was just too damn tired to do it by this point.

 “ Less bummed than I am tired. You'd think that a city this size would have a Pokemon Center in it, but three days of searching so far and not a single building with so much as a red roof. ”

 “ No shit, this place is weird. Just last night I ran across a guy who all but laughed off my Lucario's Close Combat after he appeared out of nowhere and squeezed him harder than an Ursaring. ”

Jennifer Harsdorff looked around the room, which was at the same time getting more familiar and harder to understand every time she came back. Such strange creatures, carrying on equally strange topics of conversation as if they were the only people in the world.

Jennifer Harsdorff eyed Jacob cautiously. Such a man as himself that made no bones about having a figure like Darkrai float freely by his side was either insane or insanely skilled, and she wasn't in the mood to find out which it was.

Jennifer Harsdorff noted that she had allowed Jacob to catch her eye. She cursed under her breath, but did not get up to accept the wordless challenge. While it was commonly accepted back home that the first thing Trainers did to get to know each other better was to have a battle, the rules were different here...or so she hoped.

 “ Obviously I can't mince words with you, so I'm just going to tell it to you straight: You're a madman and a dumbass for walking around with that thing out of its ball. I don't want to know you, and I certainly don't want to battle you if I can help it. ”

Jennifer Harsdorff turned quickly towards Sparks, who had dared to touch her. "One, keep your hands to yourself. Two, how'd you know my name? And three, what the hell are you talking about, the blue devil in my basement?"

Jennifer Harsdorff let out an exasperated sigh. As if enough weird shit hadn't happened to her already since jumping through that Arceus-forsaken portal, did she have to attract weirdos on top of that?

Jennifer Harsdorff was trying to hide the fact that her heartbeat had just spiked when that wine bottle had gone boom, but a practiced eye would note that she was taking deeper breaths as well, a sure sign of an adrenaline shot taking effect.
