PCA meme - 5 random facts
17 years ago
Damn this took a long time to do, but ah well. Yoinked from 
gammaeradon list off your PCA characters (or a few of them at least) along with five odd, random, previously unknown facts or quirks about them:
Nicole Blackclaw
- Has spent so much time training with her teammate Mitzi that she's built up something of a resistance to fire. She can hold her hand over a candle flame for a rather long time with no ill effect and has used this ability as well as similar ones in the past to win bets.
- When Nicole was five her mother got her a role on a short-lived sitcom as "precociously-annoying neighbor kid". Nicole doesn't talk about it today, she considers it demeaning in retrospect (and really doesn't remember it anyway).
- The pokeball on the choker that Nicole always wears actually hides a sophisticated psychic scrambler, the kind used in military installations to prevent espionage. She "borrowed" it when her father took her on a tour of the facilities of one of his business associates who did some contract work for the military on the side. She never wears it in battles (such would be flagrant cheating) but more than one psychic has come away with a splitting headache and nosebleed after trying to telepathically eavesdrop on her in the hallways of the academy.
- Her hair was brown when she was younger, it's steadily gotten lighter and lighter as she's gotten older.
- Is fluent in at least a half-dozen languages but doesn't make it known so that she can keep tabs on what people say when they think nobody can understand them.
Tenebra Blackclaw
- Has a surprisingly light load of battle-oriented classes at the academy, the bulk of her schedule is made up of academics including some more esoteric subjects like Philosophy and Literature.
- Has several scars on her back left over from severe injuries she sustained when she was still a poochyena. She started growing her hair out to cover them up, before then it was always short.
- Is completely computer illiterate. She knows how to turn it on, start the word processor, and print. That's about it.
- Briefly met her older brother again nearly ten years after she ran away from home but neither of them recognized the other.
- The pendant on the necklace that she wears was given to her by a sableye whom Tenebra defeated in one of the many street battles that she fought in when she was younger. The mysterious sableye promised that he would return to challenge her for it in a year but he never showed up.
Mitzi Fiera
- Has a terrible diet of junk food, candy, and fried and salty foods. But has a massively hyper metabolism and never gains any weight from it.
- Is all but unbeatable at DDR.
- Knows and can sing all the lyrics to "It's the End of the World as We Know It" and doesn't just yell out "Leonard Bernstein!"
- Once spent a night in jail. But it was because she wore herself out playing while being pup-sat by her policemon dad at the police station. He put her on one of the cots in an empty holding cell to take a nap but just let her sleep through the night while he pulled an extra overnight shift.
- Hates onions.
Methelza Muma
- Is the only member of Team Jet who lives in one of the campus dorms. She has had a few roommates over the years but none of them have lasted more than a week without demanding to be moved.
- Is left-handed.
- Transferred to the P.C.A. just prior to the start of her sophomore year. She attended the Johto Battle Academy during her freshman year but withdrew when her mother got into a rather heated argument with the principal of that school.
- The distinctive black teardrop under her left eye symbolizes the misery inflicted upon her family as a result of her ancestor's act of selfish betrayal. It isn't actually a tattoo, her mother won't let her have one.
- When nobody is looking she likes to watch cartoons, the sillier the better.
Dominic Ardillo del Relampago
- Broke his arm when he was four when he crashed his Big Wheel into a tree.
- Goes by the name "NemesisZer0" on X-Ball live.
- Has an impressive collection of model cars although he doesn't have a real one. His parents are waiting on the results of his grades this semester before deciding whether or not to get him one.
- Dominic and Tessa are the only members of their family with any interest or talent for battling. Dominic never showed much of an interest in it either until Tessa's injury, at which point he promised to "go out and win her matches for her."
- Was once suspended in middle school for a prank pulled with some other students that involved many canisters of whipped cream and an unpopular teacher's car whose window had been left cracked open due to the heat.
Skylar Ferrotti
- Her father is very bigoted towards electric types. Though she doesn't share his narrow-minded sentiment, she's lied to him thus far and told him that Dominic is a growlithe. She's afraid he'll have her removed from the team if he finds out the truth.
- Professes to be straight but if pressed will admit to being a bit bi-curious (ok maybe more than "a bit").
- Although definitely a party girl she's also exaggerated some of her exploits. She isn't quite as wild as she claims to be.
- Despite her fondness for showing them off she's a little self-conscious about her breasts and wishes they were a little bigger. She also wishes she were better proportioned all around.
- She thinks she's better suited to being a team leader than Dominic but doesn't really want the responsibility so she stays quiet about it. Even still she acts as something of a "field commander".
Zachary Gircoli
- Hasn't actually told anyone about the fact that he stands to inherit millions when he turns eighteen, not even his own teammates. He doesn't want any friendships he makes at the academy to be tainted by such knowledge.
- Has caught a lot of opponents and teachers alike by surprise with how good of a battler he really is if he can actually muster up the motivation. Problem is that he usually just doesn't care enough to do so.
- Zach's "smoking up" started as an attempt to get the angry voices in his tail-head to quiet down.
- In addition to his motivational problems Zach also has some self-esteem issues. He has a crush on a few girls at the academy but doesn't act on them because he's sure they'd have no interest in him.
- A lot of Zach's "braindead stoner" act is just that, an act. He's a lot smarter than he lets on but doesn't really want a lot of pressure to succeed academically so he tries not to get people's expectations up.
Neve Oscadreja
- A part of her attitude is actually to mask some insecurities and guilt that she has about being a bit of a problem child when she was younger. She kind of has the feeling that she doesn't really deserve to be at the academy.
- The first time she got her ear pierced was an accident involving a nail gun (don't ask). Long after she calmed down she figured she might as well put an earring in it. The rest just followed over time.
- Her claws and bangs aren't always painted/dyed pink, sometimes she'll use other colors like purple or turquoise. But pink is her favorite.
- Neve is slightly nearsighted and probably needs glasses but she refuses to wear them or bother with contacts.
- Neve and her deceased brother were very close and she misses him terribly. Sometimes she'll cry herself to sleep thinking about him.
Tessa Adrillo del Relampago
- First became interested in arena battling when she won tickets to Battlemania XXIII in a radio contest when she was nine years old. She got to go backstage and meet some of the fighters, one of which told her that if she worked and trained hard, he would let her have a match with him when she was old enough and ready. She intends to hold him to it.
- Used to have contests with Dominic about who could put the most hot sauce on a taco and then go the longest without taking a drink. She usually won.
- Tessa drives a customized van that she's had a fair amount of detail work done to. She jokes that the real reason she drives a van is so that she can make out in the back of it. But is only sort of joking.
- Her favorite song is "Daydream Believer" but good luck getting her to admit it.
- One of the overlooked problems since her accident is that she's prone to backaches since she can't stand up and stretch it out properly, so she's a complete sucker for a good backrub. By her own admission a guy who can give a good backrub can get her to melt faster than anything.
Eddie Fane
- Has a half-sister that his father has never told him (or his mother) about. (Incidentally his parents were never married.)
- Zap has been courting him to join the school's pokeball team for a good long while but Eddie has always refused. He's actually afraid he won't be any good at it since the only experience he has at pokeball is the video game variety.
- He has a bookcase full of role-playing game books in his room and has pretty much memorized all of them. Yet he can't for the life of him get the periodic table straight for chemistry class.
- Eddie hasn't given any thought to what he's going to do after graduation. At all.
- Wishes more people would try to draw him.
Rylai Summers
- Once took a bet that she couldn't sit through an entire episode of Sex & the City without either throwing something through the TV or throwing it out the window. She paid up twice after doing both.
- Her first tattoo was the armband around her left bicep. She did it herself over several days during the winter when she could cover it up with long sleeves and a jacket so her parents wouldn't know until it was too late. When they did find out they were surprisingly fine with it, but insisted that if she got any more to let a professional do it. She still isn't sure of what to make of that.
- Rylai was much more cheerful when she was young and was a member of a youth choral group. She's tried to destroy all records of such but her parents take care to keep the home movies secreted away.
- As much as she rants and raves about them a lot of her troublemaking is an effort to get her parents' attention, as they've always been too wrapped up with work to really pay much attention to her. So if she can't get their approval, she'll instead do her best to spread her own disapproval.
- Rylai speaks with a very heavy "street" accent and slang but her normal speaking voice actually has a rather pleasant Southern twang to it. Or it would, if she ever used it.
Sherilyn Voltaire
- Is the oldest of three children. Her younger brother will be attending the P.C.A. as a freshman next year.
- Doesn't like to swim but owns a good number of swimsuits. She almost collects them.
- Although known for her heavy accent it's actually softened since she began at the academy. When she began her freshman year she barely spoke any English at all.
- Although she carries herself as very upper class and sophisticated Sherilyn has a weakness for bad, cheesy sci-fi and horror movies. She was introduced to such by her former teammate Eddie but despite her dismissive "Zis ees stupid, how can you watch zis... crap?" remarks she now owns a larger collection of such movies on DVD than he does. All hidden safely away, of course.
- Sherilyn drinks a fair amount, her aunt has no objection to such and there is usually an abundance of wine or other spirits at her house. Usually Sherilyn is good about showing restraint but there have been a couple of times when she's had to take a sick day from school because she had a massive hangover. (Not that her aunt mentions this when she calls in of course.)

Anyway, gotta say, quite a bit of interesting trivia here, particularly Sherilyn (<Flo> 'ey, MY accent's gotten betah ovahtaim too! ...not dat most people notice, of cerse.) and, yes, Team Jet(<Myra> Well, that explain why Nikki'a a regular at the restaurant). Rylai in particular also amuses me due to the realization she in particular would be a gal my Bistro bird Angelo would both loathe (her overall 'tude) and love (...the fact that she's a hot Grass-type). I is amused easily.
Man do you guys make a lot of background for your kids. c.c
My e-pen- I mean my meme is LONGER! XP
Methelza: *To Nikki* I'm going to my dorm to watch TV.
Random student: What do you think she watches?
Random Student: A girl that creepy. Probably Freddy Croagunk or something.
Methelza: *lounging on bed* Wille E. Cyote, you are doomed. Bwahahaha.
I love all the juicey little tidbits here. they give me so many ideas. And odly enough, they are all pretty PG 13. How wild is that
Poor Neve...Rene away!
Rene: To the rescue! Woosh!
