Rogues: Duplicity App

Finally, I have finished this app... Just ignore the date at the top. Assume that's when they actually go to register as a team.

Rogues team Duplicity

Amanita the Meowth:
Generally unhappy and easily annoyed. Somewhat mean-spirited. Likes going off by herself to think, generally near something that makes noise because complete silence scares her - reminds her of death. She doesn't like that one bit.
Her silence aids her stealth, as she is now aware of every little sound she makes. At Carlos's prodding, they are joining the Rogues guild to hone their skills and make a name for themselves. She hopes to be of use in information-gathering and stealth-based ventures.

Carlos the Charmander
Tries to see the bright sides of things, just to keep Amanita's spirits up. Stubborn, impatient, and easily annoyed by stupidity and those who waste their time. Has a wicked sense of humor, and would rather make jokes than do any harm. You threaten them or insult his sister, though, be ready for an immediate beat-down.
Despite his bright-colored scales, he is extremely stealthy. He is also quite the charmer, so if you are a lady, expect him to be very gentlemanly (and speak Spanish - chicks love Spanish).
He hopes to put these skills to use in the Rogues' guild, bringing new people to their cause with his charisma and furthering their goals on missions. Maybe he'll even get strong enough to return to Gambitville and find those assassins. When that day comes, they will know to fear the children of the 'Zard Mama.

**Note: Carlos is capable of a technique passed down from the 'Zard Mama's mama: "Apaga la luz" or "Turn out the light"... Essentially, the char-evolution calms their heart-rate down to an extreme low for a short time. This causes their tail flame to go out, allowing for extreme stealth maneuvers. This technique is extremely dangerous, however - only to be used in emergencies and with a fire-breathing partner nearby. The user cannot breath fire while like that, and thus could not reignite their tail alone. Plus, there is a very real possibility of passing out and never waking up.

The technique shortens the user's lifespan by ... a lot.

History: Amanita was adopted as an egg by Carlos's mom - a charizard named Margarita (everyone called her 'Zard Mama, Mama Rita, or 'Zard Mama Rita). When she hatched, everyone was confused, even the 'Zard Mama, 'cuz she'd been informed by Missy that there were only fire-type eggs at the time.

But Mama Rita still loved her new baby. Her first girl.

Her clan was one of rogues, and she trained them all to be smart - not mindless thugs - but Amanita was her special protege. At first, Carlos was jealous. Being a shiny like Rita, he was seen as destined to take up leadership when the time came. Then Amanita came along and seemed to steal the spotlight.

In time, however, they became the closest and most skilled of the siblings, often going as far as to orchestrate small heists for the 'Zard Mama.

Then they discovered Amanita's voice. She learned Sing and from that day on, her smooth sweet voice became her main weapon. Capable of using it to persuade the most stubborn of clients, she was a cornerstone in the family's operations. No longer did they have to scrounge around for contracts - clients came straight to them just to hear Amanita speak.

Rivals hated it. Their business dried up faster than a Manaphy in a volcano. Left and right they lost vital contracts, entire tracts of territory. They were being overrun by charmeleon! And who was to blame? 'Zard Mama Rita and her ill-gotten girl-child. She had to be stolen, they reasoned.

Not that this changed anything. They wanted her and the rest of them removed from the picture.

One night, an assassin and his team of hired tail-blades came. Amanita was on watch, and called out to them, mistaking them for some clients. Before she could call out, their leader tore a gash across her throat and left her for dead.

They tore through the surprised clan, dropping chars left and right. It came down to the 'Zard Mama and Carlos, and she told him to run. "Hijo, there is not shame in running when things go south."

But he stubbornly stuck by her side until she brutally tail-lashed him and sent him flying into the sand. He couldn't understand why she would do that, but he passed out on impact. The force of the blow had also ruptured smaller blood vessels around his eye which stained the white.

For some reason, the assassins did not go finish him off, and when he woke up, he was alone in the sand. He got up and wandered, looking to see if anyone had survived.

Finally, he found Amanita - still alive, and gurgling from her wound.

He rushed her to help from nomads in Sandsong, but they couldn't save her voice. She was now mute.

They hid out on the slopes of Fortissimo for a time, avoiding the rivals who'd ordered the hit. Then they were forced to scrape by in the Backwater Slums for a time.

Now, they have come to Tao, seeking a chance to make a living.

Where else could they go?
