Concord is a Pokemon Trainer and mailman from Sinnoh, though he can also be found in Johto, Kanto, and Hoenn. Someone has to deliver all that mail, after all. Unfortunately for him, he has a tendancy to get into the most absurdly unfortunate situations possible. Almost drowned in Hoenn, burnt by a Magma Grunt's Slugma, mauled by an Ursaring... If you can think of it, it's probably happened to the poor guy. He's gotten very good at hiding his woes with a calm, collected demeanor and a smile.

Story

Concord was born and raised in Sinnoh, but often found herself traveling outside of it. She used delivering mail as an excuse, but it was really just to get out and see the world. Their misfortune seemed to follow them wherever they went, however...

Things seem to look up a little for Concord when she meets a mysterious man by the name of Cyrus. He's an interesting character, for sure, and she only met him because she kept having to deliver mail to the Team Galactic base, but the two of them became fast... well, not exactly friends... Acquaintances? Cyrus may not admit it, but he clearly cares for Concord. He seems upset about that fact, but that doesn't change anything. He genuinely wants the best for them- but he's very, very bad at this whole friendship thing. He ends up coaxing them into joining Team Galactic, promising them a spot in his better world if they go along with it.

But Cyrus begins to feel something he hasn't felt in a very long time. Something resembling... guilt. He genuinely cares about Concord- more than any of his admins, more than anyone he's ever met in years, but he keeps finding himself lying to them. It's for the greater good, he tells himself, but that doesn't stop the hole in his gut from getting bigger with each passing moment.

Concord has the feeling that something is fishy- but she'll gladly take that risk if it means having a friend and shot at a better life.

Trivia

- Their color palette is based on Splatoon ink colors.

- Their hat is based on Ingo and Emmet's.

- Their hair is based on the Pokemon Center nurse's.

- Their burn scars are from that Magma Grunt's Slugma. As for the claw mark on their leg, that's the result of an angry Ursaring they met in Johto.

Relationships

Cyrus: Though they thought Cyrus was a complete weirdo at first (they still think that, to be honest,) they eventually earned his trust, and vice versa. Cyrus likes to think to himself that he's just using them, but he has grown to enjoy their company greatly, something he hates to admit. Concord trusts him more than anyone else on the planet, as well. He understands them like nobody else.

Saturn: Saturn is, quite honestly, very jealous that this low-ranking grunt seems to get more time with Cyrus than he does. He won't tell this to Concord's face to avoid angering Cyrus, but they get the vibe that he hates them anyway.

Mars: Mars is too intense for Concord's liking, so they try to avoid her the best they can. Mars is also envious of Concord's good relationship with Cyrus. All Cyrus seems to feel towards her is... a whole lot of nothing. So why does this random grunt get to be his closest confidant?!

Jupiter: Concord finds Jupiter too antagonistic to be true friends with, but they do admittedly appreciate her fashion sense and makeup. If Jupiter feels the same way towards them as the other two commanders do, she hasn't made it known, so Concord tolerates her more than the others.
